THE HOME JoURNAL.-The contents
Of the Home Journal arc Of gay,
graceful and pigudnt description, al
ways changing, always agreeable, and
always light, spicy and sparkling
After the cares of the day are over,
number of the Home Journal is one of
the most pleasant and refreshing things
imaginable. Itdilfcrs in its whole scope,
design and appearance, from all other
journals published and we take great
pleasure in recommending it frequently,
because we can do so with clear
conscience, ana because its circulation
promotes a taste for sound and healthy
literature. Such a family newspaper
cannot well be ovcrproiscd and the
support that is given it, both by the
press and the public, forcshadows the
DOOM of much of the trash heretofore
so extensively circulated throughout
the land, to the injury of the taste and
morals of the whole community. We
arc very sincere in wishing Morris and
Willis abundant success in their en-
deavors, to establish a chcop and val,t-
able miscellany for lone, which every
family may welcome with pleasure and
read with profit. Their Home Journal
i'just the thing which has been long
wanted for the parlor and the Joudoir );
and as it is, both in matter and manner,
an honor to the press Of the country,
We hope to see it universally sustained.
Every family in the laud, with the
least prctenslons to taste and refine

The sag Nichts.

II is perhaps not generally known in this
communily bow, when and where this So
ciety was organised. and we propose to give
something of its history. At the late Loco
foco Eighth of January Convention in CO.
lumbus. caucus meeting of the leading
members was held, at which was brought
up for discussion the best policy to be pur-
sued in opposing the Know Notbings-
Sawyer and Leadbetier fought gallantly for
the old land marks and usages of the party,
and advocated an open and free tight
Gen. Wilson, of Seneca, Dimmock, Of Erie,
and Mclean. Of Hamilton, were in favor of
fighting the Know Nothings with their own
weapons. They said "they went in for
fighting the devil with fire." Dimmock
said that the Locofocos had already organ
lied several secret societies in his county,
upon the same principle as the Know Moth
iugs. except shat they invited all foreigners
to become members. After a long and
stormy disc ussion, the question was taken
and carried, "that il be recommended to the
Democratic party throughout the State 10
form secret political societies iu every ward
of city, and in every township in coun-
ty, which all foreigners shall be especially
invited to join; but from which all Know
Notbings. known TO be such, shall be care
fully excluded-tor the purpose Of putting
down the Know Notbings. and for the gen.
eral good of the Democratic party" These
are not the exact words, but the substance
Of the resolution.
Wilson, Dimmock and Mclean we're Sc.
lected by committee to carry out the res
Olution, and .hey have been just as busy
and faithful to the fulGlment of the project
as they know how. Two of the party lead
ers from this county were there present,
and since their return they too have been
very zealously affected with desire to have
their party reorganized with the Sag Ncht
attachment In some of the counties they
are called. as in this, Sag NIGHTS. IN others

We have always been aware ihal the Con-
stituiion of the United States requires that none
but native born citzsn can hold the office Of
President. But this is the only exception, that
we know OF, 10 the equal participation of natu-
ralized citizens in American privileges, rscog-
uzed BY the National Constitution. The Jour
nal expounds the Constitution badly when it
says that the states may "forever prohibit for
eigners from voting" No such power is given
to the States.-[DemOcrat.
The above is the worst Interpretation Of
the Constitution We haze ever seen. Con-
gress alone possesses the right to make
naturalization laws. and they may require
a residence of forty. or any other term of
years; or they may refuse TO pass any laws
upon the subject. and then all foreigners
would remain foreigners during life. We
construe the Constitution rightly when we
say that each and every State in the Union
can forever prohibit foreigners from voting
That power is given 10 each State. not by
the Constitution of the United States. for
the States never delegated that right to the
general, government, but is part of their
reserved sovereign rights. Each State
makes its own laws upon the subject and
in number of them even natiUe born citi-
zens cannot vote, because they have not
the requisite property qualifications. In
Ohio, every Uhits male citizen ofthe age Of
twenty one years is voter; in New York,
negroes have the right voting, and in the
CsTolinas, none but such as have the requir-
ed amount of property, can vote or hold Of
fee. The right TO the elective franchise
does not depend upon being naturalized,
but upon the organic laws of the State, in
which the naturalized citizen may happen
to reside. A naturalized citizen may vote
in Ohio, but if he removes into Indiana, he
may forever be debarred that privilege, if
the Constitution ofthst State, prohibits him
from voting.
Not only this, but each State MAY make
a law to prohibit any man being elected
member of Congress. unles he is na.irs
born, that power being granted to the
States, by the national Constitution. And
in New Hampshire, our neighbor's pattern
Democrats State, Catholics cannot hold of.
6ce. This is the only Know Nothing law
we know OF, and this in the most intensely
Democratic State in the Union; State
that has never waveredin its attachments to
all the destructive principles of the modern
destrOyers. Neighbor if you have never
learned that each State can forever prohib,
it ali foreigners from voting, you had better
commence the study Of the nature Of our
government, and the respective rights of
the States in the shortest possible ;ime. and
not attempt TO instruct others in matters, of
which you are entirely ignorant

OF The work accomplished by the Con-
gress just adjourned. The Philadelphia
North dmeyjcoa's Washington correspond
ent gives this graphic and true picture:
The Thny third Congress found peace
and oord:aIity existing between previously
contending sections. 1t Immediately ad
dressed iself 10 the task of destroying
compromises and compacts on which this
peace and good will rested. and to stirring
up strife. htlred and contempt between d.
visions of the people previously pledged to
tolerate those differences OF institutions and
customs which distinguished their sections

successors discussions which there is scarce
" a hope the present generation will live

cursed above all its predecessors By ambi-
tious aud ineendiary demsgogues. who con
trulled its proceedings and gave character
TO its most important acts Besides the
mischief which it accomplished. it attempt
ed great deal in which it failed. 1t des.
troyed the Missouri Compromise, but it
could not repeal the protective features of
the tariff, it could not prostrate the great
interests Of the iron manufacturers and
wool-growers it could not legislate wise
and venerable Judges of the bench. it could
not subject the Judiciary of the States to
the Tyranny OF its will The three several
acts in which these latter objects were
sought to be effected failed, but rather for
the want of time than from any returning
moderation Of sentiment or tagging strength
Of will.

Comm II lnifafious. II

H The article givenbelOw comes to US
from man who now does, and aIpoys has
stood high 10 the estimation of the Demo
cratic leaders and their whole party in this
county. We had, on FIRST reading, some
hesitation about giving it an insertion, but
upon personal consultation with him, have
felt that it was our duty to let him express
his sentiments; and We are firmly convinc-
ed that no party drill which the Sag NIGHTS
in this county can institute viii ever have
the effec. to change bis mind from the
views he has expressed to US.
Ia his conversation with us he said,
"These many years have l labored for the
Democratic party and The ascendency Of

that the American people are blinded to

Much else this old Democra. said to US,
which we have not space to note down
1t is our opinion that he knows something
about the Know Nothings, but on this point
we could learn nothing from him. If a So

he saws:
