RETRIBUTIvE JUSTICE UPON THE SOUTHERN
KNOW NOTHINGS.

The southern opponents OF the democratic party The
House OF Representatives who have been telling their pres
en constituents for the last SIX months aud that The
democratic party Of the North not sound upon the Qus
ton Of State rights and that the American party 80 CALI
ed Is good enough national organization doubt
bitterly elrebuked at the spectacle hourly passing before
their eyes The people they have left behind them are
deeply nteresied observers of this significant panorama
aud it is not difficult conceive that the know nothing
leaders from the South recalled to their recent pledges
upon the orthodoxy Of the knownothings of the North
with intense modification.
And such the proof be it remembered, furnished in
the first three days of the session. before the House Rep
resenatiyes has approached the initial stage Of ID
organization and before abolitonm land its hand IN
on the machinery of Congress, by which il expects to
WELD the desnies Of the country during the presidential
campaign Observe, gentlemen Of the South, you who
have been tamperng with the supposed creduy OF the
people Of the slave States that although you have been
sitting for three long days, presenting your cGa
ddaes to your and coyenaned brethren Of the free
Satesto those who, with you, have accepted the much
vauned twelfth section of the Philadelphia conyeo
tion-of the hundred and twenty three men Of The
North, most of whom selected in the lodges Of Ne
know-nohing order most Of whom carried through
oy the adhecnis of that fraternity, Dat four solitary kao
nothing members from The States have dared to throw
their votes in favor of candidate who stands the clear
and unequyocal friend Of the rights of the SOUTH And
that candidate is not northern man--like the gal
liant Richardson who, when dscharging his duties to The
constitution, did and does in defiance of abolonis

THE PRIVILEGED CLASS.--THE "THREE-FfFTHS
OF ALL OTHER PERSONS"

In article days since, headed Is the Union in
Danger n stated that the North enjoyed the same priv

other PERSONS" the South In this alluded the
condition of things they when most Of the north
ern States held slaves. But it that the South
now, enjoys any special privilege the North

representation is the theme Of Mr.. Stewards great dis
union speech Mt Albany and it the theme Of The
speeches of Mr.. Chase while the stump in Ohio The
States of this Union all stand upon equality in regard
to all the privileges Of representation and taxation and
there ia privilege extended the South that not
enjoyed by the North when the compromises were made
and which may not be enjoyed the pleasure Of the
North But when the northern States freed their slaves
they became the privileged class because they thereafter
counted all their cotored population basis Of represent

upon which representation in Congress is based. The
moment she aholshes slavery she would be entitled TO two
more members in the House OF Representatives The popu

of slavery wosld increase her power in Congress- and
conventions OF which Mr. Chase complains bitterly Ihe
North has actually The advantage in this point Of view
and we suppose Ohio has extra member Of Con-

wish IL WAS SO, in fact that Mr. Gddings could be the i'm

There no questions relative to the national policy Of
this government little understood and lightly ap
precated as the compromises OF The constitution upon te
subject Of slavery and the relative position of North and
South The waged by Chase and Seward against the

our glorious constitution and made this nation the iigh
