broke to pieces, the important plank in its
platform has been summarily and Indignantly
disowned and "spat' upon. In Louisiana, Geor-
gia and Alabama the anti Catholic plank has
been equally as unceremoniously disposed of in
the same way, while in Georgia at least, the
slavery plank above referred to has been thrown
out to make room for very ultra pro-slavery
plank. In Ohio, the anti-foreigner plank, too,
has been unceremoniously thrown out, and,
instead thereof, one has been inserted ex-
pressly denying any purpose of abridging the
present rights of foreign born persons in this
country, and inviting all such persons to join
the organization, whose main purpose is de-
clared to be hostility to slavery. By way of
evincing the sincerity of their position in favor
of this phase of Know Nothingism, the Ohio
State Know Nothing Convention have just
made the following State ticket, viz:
Governor-Hon Salmon P. Chase.
Lieut.. GovernOr-T. Ii. Ford.
Judges of the Supreme Court-C. c. Con-
verse ana Jacob Brinkerhoff
Auditor of Statc-F M. Wright,
Treasurer of State-W. H. Gibson
Secretary of State. III. Baker.
Attorney General-F. .. Kimball
President of Board of Public Works-A. G.
COnOver.
Of these candidates, three are Free-Soilers,
three Know othings, and three, gentlemen
who, up to very recently, have refused to aban-
don what remained in the State of its old Wing
organization. BrinkerhOff is the man who, be-
ing refused by Polk paymaster's position in
the Mexican war, instantly turned flaming
Aboltionist in the United States House of Re-
representatives.. He will be remembered out of
his State only by this fact, which made some
noise when it occurred. All the world knows
the positions of S. P. Chase, who has for some
years past essayed to rival Senator Seward as
an ultra anti-slavcry, and prc-foreigner man.
We presume that nothing more than this
Ohio Know Nothing action, added to the prompt
and emphatic refusal of the Know Nothings of
all the other non-slaveholding States to stand
on the Philadelphia platform, can be necessary
to convince Southern Know Nothings who
really care for the rights of the South, that, in
the North, where Know Nothingism alone has
strength to carry more than unimpOrtant To-
cal elections, Know Nothingism is but phase
of Aboltionism, the all pcrvading element of
its organization there.
Roger A. Pryor, Esq.-As the New York Her
aid, ofyesterday, published a false statement
concerning this gentleman-concocted in its
sanctum, and attributed to u Geographic cor
respondent in this city-it may not be amiss for
Us to say that we are satisfied he has been ap
pointed to special mission to Greece, charged
with the duty, if possible, of settling the diff
Guilty between the two Governments with ref.
erence to Dr. King, on which Mr. Marsh, when
United States Minister at Constantinople, was
long engaged. The Heraid's veracious con-
coction, of course, sets forth a cabinet souab-
bic over the..question of bcstowing on him some
foreign appointment, the writer knows not
what.
The selection of Mr.. Pryor for this respons-
IDLE and delicate duty is capital one, for he
Is gentleman of great energy, industry, and
fine attainments, and well-matured Judgment
indeed, for his age. lie has already won an
enviable reputation in connection with his edi-
torial history, and in the last gubernatorial
canvass in Virginia proved himself to be one of
the finest orators Of that Commonwealth, of
able public speakers. We are very sure that
the esprit III corps which actuates our breth-
ern Of the press without distinction of party.
will induce them to hail the appointment of
Mr. p. with reclamation, as deserved tribute
t. the influence and character of the fraternity
OF American journalists. 1t is said that he sets
