DIREFUL DILEMMA OF TIE SOUTHERN KNOW

In military science the attempt 10 change front in the
presence of the enemy is always dangerous and often fatal
The party the midst of their late oray upon the
South fairly up by the deserton of their north
allies the abotonsts and the Reputation of parts
of the Philadelphia platform by certain of the southern
lodges 1t would have required sean-engne in every
election precinct have coined lies enough put down
such unwelcome truths or have pumped up excitement
enough to maintain the sinking spirits Of the party And
as to make the matter worse many of the know-no
ngs in Louisiana still insist upon adhering the anti
Catholic feature of the national creed and Brownlow of
Tennessee and Borland of Arkansas make their hostility
to Catholics rstrae article in the know-nothing ritual
Indeed it is clear that the attempt 10 eliminate this
feature from the platform is exception TO the general
rule of action In view Of such condition of things, the
know-nohing leaders trying to build W neo plat

doubtless for such purpose aud on the 18th Of August

explanations of their creed They entered into very

adversares declared themselves in favor Of removing the
veil OF secrecy from their proceedings in favor of ob-
Grating the antiCaholic principle put themselves on the
Georgia patformD and recommended their brothers to
abandon all their obligations and ceremonies hereafter
There number of work at the task, and they

1t is late, gentlemen You cannot further amend
your creed 1t gone, past surgery There bu one
way to escape from the pers that environ you and that's
to forward and abandon organization which you
prove to be unworthy Of respect and in diseased and
dying condition by your lame attempts to defend its char

Such is the consistent record OF Massachusetts against
the white Mr. Summers experience is type Of her
action the subject Of the negroes The constitution TO
which Judge Kane solemnly bound Senator Sumner re-
puda,es in the face of his solemn oath Whether the
violation Of his obligation the result of nsanity or OF
deliberate purpose, leave for him to determine
Whether he crazy when he invoked murder and
bloodshed upon the officers of the United States govern
ment for attempting to execute the laws in Boston IN 1894
is problem for himself to solve Whether 1t IS In the eh-
eree of bis right that he cnvates and atters the
negroes Of the North leaving thousands Of whites TO
the tender mercies of the legislature Of his State, is
question belonging to the same category. For our own
part have hesitation in saying that it is evidence
of the decentralization of great State when her abolition
senator rejecting her reckless opinions and princi
pies seeks justify his to the laws Of society and
Of government by mpugnng the acts Of an upright ju-
rist as the excuses OF lunatic.

bile (Ala Register has been highly honored by the la
dies of Mobile in the Of rich service OF plate

The election Of this young and eloquent champion of

OF Tennessee is hailed with the veest demonstrations of
satisfaction by ell who know his worth and appreciate his
intellectual gifts Although of the youngest if
the youngest member elected to the next House of Rep
resentaves he will come to Washington with principles
tried capacity tested and with maturity of intellect far
beyond his years. We copy the following from the Boil

A CURIOUS INTRIGUE.

New York know nothing paper, published at Rochcs-
ter indignant that Mr.. Dcknsons friends should have
put know-nothngs the hard-shell ticket after de-
nouncing the know-nohngs by their resolutions and
speeches, says
terms by members of the convention, If not in the reso
tions-with what proprety consistency the nomination
Of the order candidates for their support our
readers Judge for themselves Not intending to deny
that the best in the American party don't feel
sufficiently attered by the nomination TO the SLAM
nsinuaons 1t is mode of to steal can
ddacs from party, ruin them by nomination on a
bardshc ticket and thus depete ranks of the abest
1t does not become the American party with
present strength and prospects, to play second fiddle any
by supporting the candidates OF the hardhe any other
party simply the ground that they belong the
party, and have been nominated by another"
The fact that Mr. Dcknsons friends deserted Judge
Bronson last year. almost in body in the neghborhood
of Mr. Dickinsons residence and voted for Umaun the
know-nothng candidate for governor is in curious coin
cidence with that stated by the paper from which we
quote and with the doubtful phasng of Mr. Dckinsons
last letter the subject Of the proscrpve party to Mr.
Dyke of Florida And fto complete this chain of
pcous events the know nothing State convention assem-

HON. MURRY MCCONNELL.

The Springfield (Ill) Register pays the following high
and deserved compliment to Hon. hurry Mcconnell the
reccnty-apponted Fifth Auditor Of the Treasury:
"Murry Mcdonnell has been of the most industrious
and nexibe leaders of the democracy of Illinois for twenty
five years He has always been hand and he has always
been sound every question He has spent his time and
money freely in canvassng the State in every political
pagn and that too, without asking for Office for himself
No worked faithfully either for the democratic
to help his party friends His disinterested sacr
fees have been great and if any deserves substantial
reward it is Murry Mcconnell known all the State by
the appellation of the whee-horse of democracy

HON. Il. +. HUNT.

The New York Courier and Enquirer, the wing paper
that announces itself ready unite with Garrison the
natic to carry certain abolition measures against the
South is exceedingly anxious for the election Of that sound
anti Nebraska wing, T. f. Hunt the representative of the
wings of New Orleans in the last Congress The Courier
and Enquirer says t.
The States which have yet to elect Louisiana Mssis
pp Georgia. and Maryland 1t is to be hoped that the
gallant and honorable L. f. Hunt viii be chosen the city
New Orleans and that three national wings will be
turned from Maryland"
The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1855-08-30

The St. Louis ntegencer, in formally reading itself out
of the wing party declares that said party is "deaddcad
forever and that "ts organization is abandoned every
where 1t then strangely adds We oppose the whig par
ty," &c.--Nen York Commercial
This is about equal to the reasons recently furnished
by Mr.. Scion Borland for quitting the democratic ranks
The democracy of the NORTH says Mr. Borand been
beaten by the abolition know-nothings The infamy of
defeat should be repudated by oil pureminded democrats
Therefore win join the abolition know-nohingsl Such
logic is perfectly irresistible.

o come to gallant TENNESSEE
Whater thy rank or lot;
Wbate'r thy faith or fortune be,
To us it matters not.
[Chorus.l
Our fathers were but strangers here,
From Europe's shores they He'd
They came and fought for liberty
For human rights they bled
Trustees of Gods ll-penteous stores,
BY matchless valor won,
They welcom'd all true hearts to come
Towards the setting sun.
Then come, dc.
Resols'd that no degrading test
For civil place should be,
They left the press, and thought, and speech,
They left religion free;
And thus in days OF oden time
Our equal laws were made;
Twas thus that Freedoms temple rose,
On firm foundations laid.
Then come, &c.
But, 10 in later times appeard
narrow minded clan,
Who held that place OF birth and faith
Are tests OF hee-born
Pufd up by recent victories,
Where fanatics abound
They made our gallant Tennessee
Another battle-ground.
But come, sc.
We fought and gained the glorious day
splendid triumph won;
Rejoice, We OF pioneers
Your work was nobly DONE
Ye sons of tyranny and toll,
A refuge still is here
Upon our free aud blood drought soil
Men worship without fear.
Then come, &c.
We fought against motley host
We fought in holy cause
For civil and religious rights,
Free conscience and free laws.
We fought an open, honest fight;
We fought a secret foe;
BY help OF God by force of truth
We laid the enemy low.
Then come, DC.
The foemen clain'd the nations fiag
They took the nations name;
They sez'd our noble eagle bird
To show patriot aim.
Alarm'd about some awful power
Possessed by Popes of Rome,
They swore we should no longer share
Our once free exile home.
But come, dc.
Though other States should not impart
Full civil rights to thee,
Whate'r thy filth or place of birth,
STILL come 10 Tennessee
No ruthless mob shall stain our soil
In name Of Liberty;
30 false alarms alright the men
Where Jackson's ashes be.
Then come, &c.
Above our hills and mountain tops
Our soaring eagles fly;
The spangled banner yet is safe
Its folds waving high.
True southern hearts are still as warm
As when our fathers came;
If exies found the sires were kind,
They'll find the sons the same.
Then come, &c.
