So We invite special attention to the following
briefarticle from the Washington Union in relation
to the Inaugural Address OF the new Know-Nothing
Governor massachusetts. Know Nothings of the
South, behold your allies! .
Gov. GARDENERS INAUGURAL ADDRESS. The in
augura address of Gov. Gardiner of Massachusetts,,
from the circumstances under which he came into
power, has attracted a greater degree of interest
than is usually secured for documents of this kind
In regard to the political organization he cooy
assumes the position of leader and expounder,: and
boldly advises all who friendly to this party to
remember the importance of "unanimity ofpurpose;"
and frankly tells them that this purpose 'can only
DO accomplished through an american q. e. know
nothing) President and an american q. e. know
nothing Congress! ' The address cannot fail to
satisfy the largest expectations of the most ultra alb
olitionist 1t not only denounces the Nebraska bill,
but it urges the restoration of the Missouri line. In
its remarks in relation to the habeas corpus and the
trial by jury, and in its recommendation to weave
every safeguard round those primal birthrghts, the
abolitionists will Recommendation to take action
against the fugitive-save law, and such action
will array Massachusetts, against the general govern
ment.'
