knowing and ingenious neighbcr recently got
bit in betting on Page, which We published on
Saturday last, was incorrect in some unin.
portant particulars The gentleman from
Page, who came down with lots of money in
his pocket, was " Wise" Wing who had never
been member of Know Nothing lodge
there or elsewhere, though he felt satisfied
that the report made to their State Council
that the Page County Lodge consisted Of more
than four hundred mem bers wss untrue, there
never having been more than Fifty persons in
1t, in his belief. He bet therefore on his judg
ment of the want of truth in the official Know
Nothing report, in which the Know Nothings
ct Washington, Alexandria and Baltimore,
placed implicit confidence; betting on it, and,
Of course, burning their fingers. It was upon
such Official statements as that from Page, that
the impression arose in the Know Nothing
ranks, that they had $4,000 members in vir.
ginia; which impression go pertinaciously
and enthusiastically sworn to by our ingenious
neighbors, cost its friends the 600 they
won in this region lover the left from the
friends Of Wise.
Beware call the attention of our anti.
Know Nothing fellow.citisens to the necessary
means determined on last night by the anti.
Know Nothing citizens of " ashington, to pro.
tsct their rights from possible frauds under
the lower board of the Washington Councils
refusal to request that one anti-Know Nothing
be permitted TO witness the canvass of the
votes in each ward, at the next election, tho
boards of commissioners in four of the wards
being, each man of them, also a member of
an oath bound political association.
