order was introduced directing that the useI of the

their intention to debate"
Well done, Know Nothings! Take as much rope
as you please, to hang yourselves with. We sup
pose your next step will be to suppress the study of
foreign languages in our schools and coeges-French
must be ostracised, and Latin and Greek also, of
course, for they obsolete and dead. The great
works of Cicero and Demonsthenes, those two dis
tnguished trbunes and defenders of popular rights
according to your notions of A"se,ie@ss" must re-
that obscurty and blissful state of oblivion
from which they were brought out by the ltterat
of the Middle Ages. Consistent Know Nothings
what say you of 1.-THE rich Irish brogue and
sweet German accentr" What intend you with our
National escuthcheon? Will you modify that too?
The American Eagle, we suppose, you will refrain
but what will you do with E. PLURIBUs UNUM? We
pause with the greatest anxiety, for categorical an
swers. Poor Know Nothings
