Know Nothings i'm Congress.

The Washington correspondent Of the New

the 18th instant, says:
"The House performed a signal feat yester.
day. They overthrow the graduation bill and
homestead bill. by a decisive vote. These
humbugs have had their day, The dement's
in opposition 10 them were in the first place,
Know No,hingism, and next, conservatism.
Tie Know Nolhings in Congress opposed it
because it squandered the heritage and render.

get grants from the government to the people.
The voc yesterday showed that the Know
Nothing feeling is strong in the House-not
that many members belong 10 the organization,
but tina! they approve lis principles.
The rumor that Democratic Senators will
unite in an expression Of di-aprrobation Of

them are rather friendly To the objects of the

Editor of the Sentinel:

EdHOr Of me Sent'"e1'
SIR: Since Iberviile is known TO contain
not less than three Gubernatorial aspirants, it
is an act of courtesy at least that some Of her

leans, in recommending that high honort to be
conferred upon one Of her citizens. Since
THOMAS BoLLlxo ROBERTSON was elected, no
one, if the writer is not mistaken, has been In.
ken from the city, which has such vast inter.
ests, aud which in point of taxation is 30 much
in advance of the balance OF the State.
I therefore name for the consideration Of the
people Of the State for their SURFACES at the
next election, CHARLES n. WATERMAN, ESQ,
Of New Orleans, who, although not belonging
to the party claiming 10 be exclusively the
''par.y Of progress" is no less q progressive
man, being one Of the most enterprising and
successful merchants in the city.
Mr.. WATERMAN has been an aciive and use.
ful member for some years Of the General
Council Of New Orleans under the old charter
anG his fine business capacity, united with his
experience and intelligence, are ample guaran'
tees that he will discharge any public duties

Our sentiments with regard to the Know
Nothing or American Party, are no secret. 1t
is our right and our pride to advocate princi-
plea which we believe to be conducive TO the
welfare and prosperity Of our country. Such
principles, satisfactory to our mind, are EN-.
braced in the code of the American Party--and
that code aims no blow at the Liberty and pro-
gress of any religious denomination-for we
say, as our firm conviction. from the history
of the past, that when a party of the American
people go forth boldly and publicly, or secretly
upon a political crusade against any establish
ed Church, a dark era is drawing it's sable cur.
tain over the dazzling grandeur Of our proud
Republic. 3E
