No pRoscIPTios.--If my thing could sink
the Administration of Mr.. Pierce lower than
II has been for some time, it seems to us that
his conduct towards the American Party
would do it, A systematic war is wnced
against every officer of the Government, high
and low, who is suspected of the crime Of
being Know Nothing, The moment one Of
the officials is found to be friendly to the
Order, oif'comes his head. In the estimation
ofour masters at Washington, it has become
a.crime, worthy punishment, to b. native
citizen And what makes il stiIl worse, It is
charged that, in some instances, the places
made vacant by this infamous decapilation
have been filled by foreigners. Such conduct
viii open the eyes of the people, and compel
them TO reflect. 1t is to such an Administra-.
lion that Gov. Johnson and his supporters
would bind the freenen Of this State. What
answer will b. given to such an attemptf-
The future will let us know.

walls Of this building are nearly up, and we
understand that the entire brick work WILDE
completed next week. In view Of she early
completion Of the building, we would sug.
gest to persons whose subscriptions remain
unpaid, that now is the time to pay up. the
contractor for the brick-work must have his
money, and it is wrong for subscribers to
withhold their dues. We hope all will como
forward promptly, that the bailding may be
completed aud nude ready for the school ut
the earliest possible day. The enterprise is
one that must result in immense advantage
to the town and surrounding country, and
those Of our people who have not already
contributed, should do so at once. Money
thus invested always pays the richest return

The NATURALIZATION LAws.-"A reform
in the naturalization laws is rendered neces-
sary by the vast influx Of foreigners and their
daily increasing strength and influence in our
elections. With their present rate of in.
crease and the brief period of probation an.
der the present system, this generation may
expect to see our institutions under foreign
domination. This nccruing mass, reared un.
aer forms Of government totally dissinilar to
ours, besides embodyfng large amount of
Ignorance, are to great extent, vitiated in
their tastes and habits. Felons and paupers
fill their ranks--and the cry is "still they
come" Our government Possesses a Won
derful capacity, but like all else That is hu.
man, 1t has its limits. And who is willing to
make the experiment, to see how much Of
this raw un.terial or nstituaions can bear!
The in9uence Of the papal hierarchy is al.
so becoming alarming, because Of its poiti-
cal aspirations Wherever it has prevailed,
it has controlled the political action of gov.
ernments, us il has the consciences of men.
Liberty never has fourished under the shade
Of Papal power. 1t never can do it. The
soul and the mind and the genips of man
wither and droop and die under its influence.
TO correct all these evils-to purify the body
poitic-to Americauize our government and
to bring back the reign of harmony and peace
between the different sections, are the great
ends to which the American party has plight.

MYsrrnrous.--A couple of quite genteel
booking young men arrived in our town on
Sunday evening last in buggy, and immedi-
ately old hunkerdom was on the qui vive to as.
certain their business or what they could be
after. Various were the surmises INDUCED

that they were democrats hunting up informa.
ton for the benefit of their betting brethren
al. Nashville-and some one thing and some
another. Our own opinion is, that they were
Sag NIGHTS, and that their business here was
to establish lodges Of that Order. Ii 50. they
were little too late, as this county is all
