The TRIUMPH OF THE FOREIGN PARrY.-The
Know Nothings habitually stigmatize their oppo-
nents as the Foreign Party" and hypocritically
affect to believe that they striving to place the
government of the country in the hands of "Catho-
lies" and Foreigners" We hope the result of the
election in Alabama, where there only Z, ,49S fo
reigners, and 5000 Catholics and 426,514 native
born citizens will satisfy them that goodly num-
ber of natives and Protestants belong to what they
choose to call the "Foreign and Catholic Party" In
Tennessee, where there are 5,63S foreigners 400
Catholics and 756, S36 native Protestants, similar
lesson is taught to the Know Nothings.
May not hope that the Know Ntthngs will
find out that they have been beaten by native Ame-
ricans, and that the people against them?
Columbus Times.
The same remarks will apply to North Carolina.
There 1851 persons in this State who born
in foreign countries; and there 556, ,3O1 persons
native born. There 1895 Churches in the State,
four of which are Catholic.
The Democrats have recently carried this State
by about seven thousand majority in the aggregate
vote, being gain of some five Thousand since Au-
gust, 1854; the State is therefore. according to
Know Nothing declarations, at the mercy of the Ca
tho!ics and foreigners! The election was conducted
and carried by Protestants and natives, and yet is
a < Roman Catholic and foreign" triumph! What
nonsense! Why, the demagogues who have raised
this cry do not even believe what they say to be
true.

Some six or eight months ago the Know Moth
ings of Washington City held an illegal election,
and got possession, partly by fraud and partly by
force, of the books and papers of the Washington
Monument Association. They turned out the orig

Seaton, Esq, and Gen. Walter Jones; and prom
ised that under their auspices the Monument should
90 up " in jerk" Well, what has been the re-
suit? The Washington Star states that not the
first blow has been struck the Monument since
the Know Nothings took possession of it-ony sew

cent of this has been expended in paying salaries Of
officers, &c.

with which it is connected 1t has laid its foul hands

The freedom with which the Hindoo Abolition
editors talk of dissolution of the Union, and
their apparent desire that it should occur, unless
they can be permitted to regulate the domestic con-
of the Southern States is the less repre-
hensbie because it is futile and ridiculous. They
talk as il all the troubles which would grow out Of
separation of the States would be between the
North and the South! Greatly to be deprecated as
that would be, the collisions at home would overtop
them in magnitude and lasting injury; for the demo-
cratic party at the North will never consent to
dissolution of this glorious Union such pretext
There at least thirty thousand men in Connecti
cut who would take up arms to defeat such dia-
bocal and suicidal scheme! and the conflicts would
be among citizens of the same States and on their
own soil, not on Mason and Dixon's linei" 1t is
well enough to look all the probable consequences
of such event in the face, while talking SO flip
PANTY of Dissolution" There is no such word in
the Democratic vocabulary and the final estrange
mcnt of the South, will be only the commencement
of untold evils at the North. ". III. Register.

fends the conduct of the in the Crimea and that
Of the officers. The condescendng manner in which
he speaks of those who have raised themselves by
their merit is amusing, and shows the arrogance
of the class that he belongs to. He says:
1t is mistake and misrepresentation to assert
that the officers of the army generally and hab
itually inattentive to their duty that the condi
ton of the troops would be improved by having a
large portion of them drawn from the ranks, for it
is precisely because ev gentlemen that the men
are much attached to them. Although, there
fore, far from meaning to speak in disparagemcnt of
individuals who may have raised themselves by their
merit, many of whom know to be in the high
est degree respectable, assert that the military SER
vice of the country would be less popular and dis
cipline would not be we'll maintained, if the ma
jorty of the officers were of this description"
Sir George Brown would make very acceptable
leader in the next Louisville riot, he is so thorough
a know-nothing. He stands up for his set" like a
hero. What right have the ignorant Irish the stolid
English, the preiudced Scotch, to obtrude their as.
prations against the regularly admitted members
Of the "order?" They ought to be satiied to bleed
and die in the delicious evolutions of the Crmea-
perish like dogs of disease and of neglect-or to
live in vast graveyard with death before and

A PURIFIED PARTY.

Inc wilmington deralS Is very CAREFUL hoI ~ lay
these facts before its readers.
A PURIFIED PARTY
1t is indeed gratifying reflection, observes CO.
temporary, that Sam Houston, Henry S. Foote, and
Jerry Clemens have taken refuge in that infirmary
for unsound and broken down politicians-Know
Nothngism. We might express similar gratifica-
ton for the taking off, in the direction of
certain politicians nearer home.
The Democratic party was sound and as
pure as it is now The Know Nothing medicine
has been of benefit to it. Its system has been
lieved of all impurities nerves are steady and
true. and its giant muscles have been hardened by
effort in the late contest What it labored to do re-
Gently, it will accomplish with case next August
The present Democratic majority in this State is
composed of tried and true Democrats, and of high
minded, honorable Henry Clay Wings. We have
lost it is true few who professed to be Democrats;
but we have been twice compensated for this by
cessions from the Flower of the Whig party"
SENs1BLE.-The Star of this City, notwithstand-
ing the Popephobia which has so seriously afflicted
it for time past, has at least gleam of meth
cd in its madness in it's issue of the 2lst inst,
wherein it acknowledges its dstrust of the K. N.
majority in the next House of Representatives, but
appeals with confidence to the Democratic Senate.
"Look to the Senate" is the emphatic language of
the Star, and We repeatit: Look to the Democratic
Senate and the Democratic President to thwart the
K n. House of Representatives in their attempt to
override the Constitution the law and the civil and
religious rights of the people Ay, "look to the
Senate, for that is Democratic and national; but
look not to the House, for that is Know Nothing
and sectional. We congratulate the Star upon this
its single evidence of patriotism and nationality

Defining Positions.

There large amount of eIoquence uncorked
in the House of Representatives On Tuesday last,
latlve to the nature OF parties. aud the position Of
certain individuals who have been fencing 1t for their
own benefit during the late elections. We give a
brief extract from the proceedings.
MIR. Jones, of Pennsy lvania, having asserted that
Pennsylvania would have cast seventeen votes for the
national Democratic party, (Mr. Richardson, instead
of the six, had it not been for know-nothngjsm, as
professed, but freesosm in disguise, and in reality
in his State.
| MIR. Allison, of the same State arose and said:
| &c He desired to ask his colleague question. He
wished to know whether he understood him Alright
when he said that the principles of the know nothing
party and the free soil anti-Nehraska party
Identical, and that the union of these two palties
| Philadelphia had prevented tie national democracy
from having majority of The State delegation on the
floor. If so, he endorsed that idea. He believed
that had ii not boon that the people OF po""oy""
Nebraska bill, seventeen national democrats might
have again represented his State in The present Con-
| gress; but as the people condemned it, the know
nothings and treesoil party united, and Pennsyva-
MIA is now represented by majority who are opposed
to that act"
This is a frank confession, from a Pennsylvania
know-nothinS, who cannot be supposed unacquain
ed with the facts of which he speaks.
MIR. Campbell, of Pennsylvania then arose and at.
tempted TO relieve the K. Ms of that state OF the
odium attached TO such connection, when Mr. Jones
spiked The gun with the following significant inter-
rogatory. We quote from the record
He asked if the know nothing party of Pennsy-
vanla was not the ee.so party upon what princi-
pie all his colleagues, who had been sent to Congress
as know. nothlngs, had, with the exception of three
supported the gentleman from Massachusetts, for
Speaker who was publicly held up as being the very
bone and sinew of aboitionism ?
The answer of Mr.. Campbell, Qhe same gentle
man who was a candidate early in the SESSION. is
significant OF the hair splitting acuteness which K
N'ism fosters.
Mr.. Campbell replied that he and his colleagues
were supporting Mr. Banks, and the gentleman was
at liberty to entertain any views on the subject Of
slavery that he thought fit they considering that an
open question.
