Much ado about Nothing.

Much ado about Nothing.
The Editor of the Louisville Journal has
been charged repeatedly and violently by his
enemies with having by incendiary editorials,
been the indirect cause of the mobocracy in
Louisville. This was denied by him and his
friends, so these poor miserable devils have
searched his files thoroughly, and the follow
ing is the result. After their scrutinzing
search, the following articles are all that
even the Times can parade as having the
remotest tendency to produce vioence-and
the grosest misconstructon has then to be
made to render any one of these items in the
least wrong. Yet the Times, Democrat and
Courier, were filled day after day with the
most infammatory articles directed especially
TO foreigners. But here is the little result
of their great outcry about Prentice's Sin
cendiary articles:'
One of the police officers informs us that
he never before saw half so many Irishmen
as he sees now. He behods them hourly in
squads oil over the city, and he knows not
where they were brought from. Their faces
are strange to him. No doubt they came
! NSStA
! operatio would be quite enough. II is a
shame that we Kentuckians should be impos
ed on merely because we are peaceable.-
Our pacific reputation has made the foreign
ers presumptuous. Such are the fruits Of
goodness.

1t was quite extensively said and believed
few days ago, that the Germans generally i,
from an apprehension of difficulty, had deter
mined not to 60 to the polls to-day. We
have now authentic and direct information
that they have determined that they lUiU go
to the polls. We are glad TO hear that they
have thus deterTnin ID, but we hope they will
go with none but proper intentions. Surely
none of them can be so ignorant as not to un-
derstand, that, if a collision be provoked by
them, it will occur. And if it do occur, there
is but one way in which it can possibly ter
inmate.

The Sag NIGHTS, including the foreign
born population, have sworn that they will
vote this morning before the Americans do.
It really seems little hard that our native
born citizens must be compelled, on their
own soil, to stand back until foreigners are
served, but undoubtedly great deal ought to
be submitted TO for the sake of peace ard
harmony. Patience is one of the human vir-
tues. The American people however are
not we fear. very richly endowed with it.
If the anti Americans are defeated to-day
they are extinguished as a party; while il
they are victorious they will have deci ed by
their vote that Americans ought not to rule
America; that it is right and proper for Amer
lean citizens to acknop ledge an allegiance
to the Pope superior to any they owe to the
nations; and that the preservation of the
Union is not matter of paramount impor-
lance.

The Americans mean 10 be entirely pacific
, to-day, but they will vote. They may sub
NIT patiently to great many Inconvenience
, and discomforts, but they will vote. They
may have to go through rain and hail, but
they will vote. They may find serried
hosts of sag NIGHT bullies and ruffians between
, them and the polls, but they will vote. They
may have to encounter FIRE and steel, but
they will vote.
We must go to work at the polls and make
some glorious news to be sent off in all direc-
tons by telegraph at an early hour this
morning. The telegraph cannot work in an
ordinary thunder storm. But it works belu-
tifully in political storms, So go ahead,
Know Nothings, and raise just as big storm
pas you lease.
