To the Public.
LEw1sBURe, Marshall Co., Tenn, }
June 81, 1856

June q, 1885,
The undersigned, citizens of Lew
isburg and its vicinity, take occasion
to state to the public that we were IN
duced, by invidious persuasions, to join
the '.know-nothing organization. y
Among other devices, we were In
formed that there was nothing in the
order that interfered with our princi-
pies, and that its object and tendency
was to advance sound and conserva-
tive principles, and to put down dem
agogueism. A fair trial has satisfied
US that no man who claims to be a
freeman can be know-nothing with
out a surrender of his rights and priv
ileges; that it is at war with the spirit
Of republicanism, and virtually de-
strcys the @power of the ballot-box."
We have, therefore, withdrawn from
the association, and earnestly warn our
friends against being caught in snare
!
so dangerous to civil and religious lib
erty. Many of us have been de-
nounced for our Withdrawal, but we
care not for it. We intend to be free
men, and to do our duty as such.

two women, both claiming to be the

Post-0ffice Carelessness.

The Rockville Gazette, pubiished
in Tclland county, Conn, has a re-
markable article on the beauties Of
the Post-of'ire, and giyesa chapter Of
facts ut once Startling and disgusting.
There are, in the tewn where the
Gazette is published, Two paper-miils,
where purchases Of waste paper are
Of course made from lime to time,
to be converted in'o pulp. aud ma
terial is frequently obtained from va.
rious rostoffiees, where there are nat:
uralIy accumulations Of large guam
titles of rubbish, among which it
seems are found many letters of inn
portance, some containing money
More than two thousand letters OF
various descriptions have been re-
ceived in the postoffice rubbish, at
one Of these Rockville mills, during
the last tWo years! There has also
been received prodigious amount
of other mail matter; for instance,
more than five hundred documents,
mailed by one member Of Congress,
we're received at one time from the
same postoffice. Among these last
letters we're many written by business
men, which we're of much conse.
quence to their proper owners. They
came from all sections of the coun-
try, many from California, quite d
number from Europe; and on large
majority of these stray documents
the postage had been prepaid.
! The following are the facts as sta.
ted, relative to letters sold as rubbish
containing money:
| Among a lot Of paper purchased
lat the New York City Postoflice,
was one letter mailed at, California,
directed to gentleman in New York,
whish contained a check for one hun.
ldred and five dollars. The proprie,
tor Of the mill remailed the letter to
the postmaster at New York, request
ling him to be careful enough not to
lose it again, bat forward it to its
proper owner. Also from q quaint.
}ty of paper purchased Mt the Post.
Office at Springfield, Mass, was a let
ter containing sixteen dollars il
bank notes. The person by whom
lit was written was notified, and b.
replied by return Of mail, giving {
correct. description of the letter, and
its contents, and a check was sent t.
him for the amount. Out Of seven
or eight sacks from the Post-oflice
iat Providence, Rhode Island, about
half a bushel of letters were found
and among them one containing mo-
ney and insurance papers of value
A lot Of paper from Hartford Post.

Temperance and Politics.

Inc Temperance party In thls
State have taken up Col. Gentry as
the prohibition candidate for Cover
nor, in the present canvass. Strict
lily temperance habits have marked
the life of Andrew Johnson from
youth up, and he is to-day sober
man. The habits Of Col. Gentry,
past and present, are known to the
country, land We make no remarks up
on them. Andrew Johnson, howsy-
er, is friend of popular rights, and
opposed to a prohibitory law like that
in the State Of Maine. Col. Gen
TRY is know-nothing, is in favor oil
class legislation, and would extend
privileges to a favored few that be
would withhold from others. John.
son: though uniformly temperate in
al things, is bitterly opposed by
those vino cali themselves the TEN.
perance party. Gentry, however bad.
badly shaped he may be for such a ro-
sitiou,is their candidate. The follow
ing remarks which We clip from the
Southern Fountain, the organ of the
party in Tennessee, will confirm the
truth Of what We have said. Speak
ing of lecturer en-, ,loyed 10 can
vass the State 10 favor Of political
temperance, the Fountain says:
Suppose that Mr.. White should
make speeches all over the State, and
in every speech should urge the peo-
pie to vote against Andrew Johnson,
would he not be doing right? Ger
tainIy he would. Aud would John,
sons friends have any right to com
plain? Certainly not. The Union
and American knows, and everybody
else in Tennessee knows, that An
drew johnson is bitterly opposed to
the Temperance movement, and~that
his whole influence goes against it
Then Can it be supposed thata Tenn
perance speaker would Say anything
TO advance his election? Would it
not be more natural to suppose that
every Temperance man in the State
would. be laboring to insure his de-
feat? 1t seems so to US. He sure
" does net expect any aid or com.
fort from the Temperance party-a
party which he has treated with so
much contempt. No man who has
any respect for his Temperance prin-
:iples can vote for Andrew Johnson"
We suppose the game to be played
S this: the know nothing party and
,he temperance party have uDited.-E
They entertain faint hope Of elect

leceive the people. In any event,
he votes cast for Gentry will be

attended a Quaker meeting in Phila-

''Our sermon was more ancient than.
the one recently re-preuched in Lynn,

preached to the same church 200
years ago. Ours was older than tho
creation. Silence was the text, ST.

A Rational View of the Cholera

Starting with the question, as the
Cholera domesticated in the United
S,atss?'' the Bdfllo (N.Y) Democracy
makes some Of the most sensible re-
marks upon the subject, that We re-
member to have met in long time,
and we therefore copy them entire.
When we remember that the f,tality
of the disease is always immensely
aggravated by mental agitation and
nervous apprehensions, the cheerful
philosophy of our contemporary can
not fail to be regarded as the best pos
sible preventive panacea;
Owe put-this inquiry more for the
tpurposa of adjourning the discussion
| it will give rise to, than of answering it.
We rather think it is one of the in
situations of the country, like our
inalienable right to elect knayes to
efice, to blow up STEAMBOATS,, and to
build bankrupt railroads. What of it?
The disease is very different from
what it was when it first appeared in
Paris. Its terrors are not so great
now as then. We are pretty well used
to it morsover-and above all, the
practice Of Medicine is very differ
fent business in 1855 from what it
was in 1S32-the year of the Asiatic's
first visit to the United States. Their
is some science in medicine now; the
attacked citizen has other resources
in his extremity, than to lang it out
in the dark with Che mere brute forces
of nature.
."The disease, moreover, as modified
by climate, and our civilization, seems
after all but penalty Tor a violation
of the laws of health. The statistics
of Cholera morality for the last four
or five years, will almost confne the
malady to those who live badly, in
unhealthy circumstances, or who have
recklessly allowed slight ailments to
be ripened into ungovernable illness.
'Our people in this State might
as we'll allow the Cholera to be placed
upon the list of diseases American
flesh is heir to, and then dismiss the
subject from their thoughts. 1t isl
but one more added to the catalogue, |

Gently beenreguiarly installed. Instead
of looking out this summer for the |
Asiatic with expectation and dread,we |
had better book him as already arrived
and actually quartered. More than that,
it would be well to consider him from
this moment, or rather from 1858, as |
a permanent resident of the q. States.
Then we can make a system of cut
ling his acquaintance. The most
effeetua way OF doing this, viii be-
