THE ANTI-AMERICAN PARTY.

There is much truth condensed in short space in
the following article from the Raleigh On c. Sand
ard. Let true Americans study the facts:
TIE Anti AMERICAN PARrY.-We sometimes find
men most strenuously claiming that to which they
have the least right hoping by hestrength of their
demand to make up for their weakness of title
Unon this principle the know nothngs have arro-
gated to themselves the name of the American
party:" for never before has there existed in this
country party so thoroughly ant-republican and
anti-Amercsn, and it is no more entitled to the
name of american than the devil is to the title
of saint merely because be sometimes assumes the
garb of IAN angel of light"
The American character is bold and open. The
know-uothinp character skulks in secret Ameri-
canism seeks the light and courts investigation
Know -nothngism seeks darkness, and shuns inves-
tigation. Americsnism opens its arms to the OPP
pressed of all nations and says: sCome to this re-
fuee and enjoy civil and religious liberty, worship
God as your conscience dictates and your religious
belief shall not be test of your fitness or unhtness
for the rights and privileges of citizenship" Know
uothngism assumes threatening attitude, and says
to the down-trodden of other lands: "Stay where
YOU are; tester and rot in the chains that tyrarts
have thrown around you; we have liberty here, but
you shall not share it with Us" Toboth foreigners
and natives it says: worship God in particular
way, whether your conscience approves it or not,
you are unit for all the privileges OF citizenship.
Your religious opinions shall be the test of your fit
ness for Office"
The American character emblazons its principle.
and unfurls its flag to the world. The know moth
ing character hides its principles in dark lantern
under a culvert. Americsnism sets its light upon
hill and g!o:ies in its resplendent beams Know
nothingsm puts its darkness under a bushel, and
trembles sad fees at the approach oflight. Amer
icsnism is day; know-nothingism is night. Ameri-
canism speaks with voice that is heard to the re-
hottest parts of the EARTH and at the sound of which
tyrants quake and the oppressed look up and feel
thrill of Joy. Know nothingism whispers in low
and tremulous tones-such tones as despots love to
hear, and at which the heart painting for liberty
sinks The light of Amercansm illumines the
world bearing in every ray hope and a consols-
ton to struggling freedom. The darkness of know
nothugism broods with bsleful wing over the aspir
atoms of liberty, ominous of evil 10 the cause of
man. Americanism is progressive; know nothing
ism would wheel back the march of intellect and
plunge the world into the prosecutions of the dark
ages.
The American party" indeed They have not
one feature in their whole creed in unison with the
American character. They are spurious they
are "bogus" coin. The democratic party is the
true American party, and the only one; and he
that swaps it for know-nothinGism swaps the gen
uine for the counterfeit and is miserably cheated

Hoy. SAMUEL A. SMITH IN THE FIELD.-It sf-
fords us much Qualification to be able to announce
that the Hon. Samuel A Smith has consented to
be candidate for reelection in the third cougres-
sonal district of Tennessee. He had declined a
reelection, and two other democrats took the field
against one know-nothing candidate The two
democrats have withdrawn, and Col. Smith has
yielded to the wishes of his friends, and announced
himself a candidate. We consider his reelection
as certain, and We know of few men whose return
to Congress will be so gratifying TO the national
democracy. 1t was Col. Smith who struck the
first powerful blow against know -nothingism in the
last Congress. he is bold, straightforward, con-
sistent, and talented national democrat Wash.

THE KNOw-NoTMING CONVENTION AND THE
NASHyILI KNow.KOTHING PRESS.


We understand that the know-nothing National
Convention at Philadelphia meets within closed
doors, and that its members are sworn to secrecy
as to its proceedings. How their proceedings leak
out and get into the papers we don't presena 10
know. We find them in the papers-they are par
TALLY telegraphed to us-and we comment on lneih
as we do upon reports which we know to be au-
thentic because other people do the same, but GER
tainiy without pretending to vouch for the truth OF
the renorts and thus far without having stopped to
examine their consistency Thus, on Friday, re-
marking on the vote by which the platform was
adopted we said: Iuos 6, = sitIv 81. al j.
"TuE KNow-NoTHNe CoNvENTIoN.-The tee-
graph reports the adoption of the platform, q re-
port Of which was given yesterday. The conveu-
lion consisted Of POS delegates, while only so vo-
ted for, and SO agsinst the platform. Where We're
tue other deIegates2P EosseI-- fl.l + 10.
The know-nothing papers of this city criticse
this statement-the Wig and the Banner in un-
exeeptionable language, and the Gazette with its
habitusl coarseness Of conducting a controversy
They deny that there were 205 delegstes-the on
ly evidence they give being the fact that only Jag
delegates reported as having voted for Presi-
denti Now, as we have said, we do not pretend
to knoac how many delegates were present. Our
statement was predicated upon an uneonrsdictei
Geographic report which appeared not only in our
own paper, but in all the other papers of tia CITY
Those who have read the very abueive coniMe nts
Of the Gdzsas win End. by referring to that paper
to the Daily Gazette of the 9th June-the follow

Der disappearing every State and Territory
This, mark il appeared in the Gazette of June
6, and there has never appeared any thing really
conflicting with this statement. In another quar-
ter, we had seen the whole number of delegates
stated at 205 instead of 2l0 and to be certain that
we were not incorporating the convention, we
took this latter aud smaller number the basis Of
our estimate in the comments which the know
nothing papers now eTiticse 1t is said that only

If it was not true, it is not fault and we are
not responsible for its falsity. We use what seem;
TO be the best evidence before US. s.. .-..g
Having thus shown, from the Gazette itself, thai
we havenot inisrepresented the know-nothing ma.
tional convention-that if there is any error it j:
not ours-we leave the subject. We have nov
twice shown the groundlessness of such charge
against US from thapaper, and we trustit will not be
thought necessary by our readers that we shal
hereafter notice similar assaults. They may, we
presume, very safely recollect this example, and
conclude that any thing of this sort in the future
Is as unjust we have shown il to be in the past

H- The know-nothing defeat in Buffalo is
rather surprising. At the election of last fall that
party carried the city all opposition, by de-
cided majority. Now, on the vote for Judge Of the
Superior Court the vote has been, for Houghton, k.
n, 2443; for Master, fusion, 5002 Masters ma
jority, 1853 The Buffalo democracy says that
hundreds of mersbers of the order voted in oppo-

THE PROSPECT OF THE CROPS From all sections
of our own and the adjoining States, we have the

Within the past few weeks most gratifying change
has taken place, and now, instead of drought and
blighted fields, We hear of copious rains aud -four

the well sustained prices of great staple in the

SEIZURE OF One OF Col KNNEY's SToREsmPs,
WITH HIS MUNITIONS OF WkRl-We stated day
or two since that the bark Magnolia had been seized
in ST. Josephs' Bay, Florida, by Q. S. Cutter and
taken to Mobile. The Mobile Register, of Sunday,
SAYS that she now lies at that city, in limbo, and in
the clutches of Uncle Sam. ffreports are true,
says the Register, she is q rich prize, and has On
board more things than Col. Kinney could possibly
have made use of in his agricultural expedition to
Nicaragua We hear that she has under her deck
the armament of very respectable little army, far
outnumbering any force That Col. Kinney was ever
suspected of leading to Central America. What,
for instance, would he have wanted with 5000 ri
hes, 800 Colts revolvers, 5000 lbs. Of powder,
made up into 100000 rounds fixed ammunition,
1000 tents battery Of bass field pieces all COM
pete, with harness, equipment cartridges, and shot
to match lots OF pixies and sabres, quantity Of
clothing and 500 cots? All this looks lift were
part Of another, more important aud bsfled expe-
diton-as if indeed, it was intended that the Cap
tain General Concha, should have had an interest
in all this preparation. We suppose the vessel
will be Hbelled, and then there will be an exhibit
to the public eye Savannah Neos.

LAST WORDS OF THE EMPEROR NIouoLAs.-It is
said that on the win of the late Gar appears the
following endorsement written in 1874, and ex-
pressed as the Emperor's "last wishes viz:
1.-THE legacy which 1 bequeath to my children is
to love and honor their mother, to do everything
to promote her tranquility; to anticipate all her
wishes and to endeayor to render her old age happy
by their devoted attentions. Never must they un-
dertske anything Of importance without first ask
ing her advice, and demanding her maternal ben
diction" 0 -.s<.-
Ifthis be true and we have no reason to doubt
it, what halo of light and beauty does the utter
anee of such sentiments shed over a character
which we have all supposed to be unutterabiy
harsh and severe. In spite Of his high position,
and amid the cares of State, with unparalleled
responsibilities of every description resting and
pressing upon his single mind and heart, he yet
preserved intact that indesructible quality of the
human soul-love and tenderness to woman. The
extract quoted contains world Of meaning, and
relieves a thousand faults inseparabe from the
character of the autocrat
