Riot and Bloodshed in Louisville.

Know Nothingism is truly the hoi-bed Of
mabocracy ard the fountain head of politi-
cal scoundrelism. When the organization
first became known TO exist, we were wont TO
warn and reiterate our warnings against it as
an institution, of ITSELF in its very character

society and the government. Political asso-
Citations. of all Others, are most apt 10 lead to

lie, however, they are watched over one by the

heralded among, and canvassed by the peo-
pie interested. When a party, however, Is
secret in the system of its organization, the
very fact that the sayings and doiDgs" OF
members will not be subject TO public scruti-
nv. is stimulus to the dishonest and the
crafty to display their power and their cum
ing.

Its Stability.

At the late election in Connecticut the Dem
ocratic vote was only one thousand less than
the highest vote ever cast by the party at o
State election. This is significant Ii shows
that Notwithstanding a coalition succeeded
in defeating the Democratic candidates, the
Democratic strength has not been materially
impaired, nor the Democratic organization
weakened. Ii shows, too, that at the very
first moment the incongruous elements Of the
opposition begin TO seyer--as sever they will

sponsibility OF govemment-Know Nothing
ism viii be powerless. The Order seems
destined to 20 down just rs rapidly as il
sprang up, in Connecticut and everywhere

in Massachusetts, are legitimate fruits OF
bringing to the surface Of politics untried,
inexperienced, unknown men-men of small
calibre-men who are ready at all times TO
ride the whirlwind, but know not how TO d.
rect the storm. The people viii be glad,
wherever such men arc trusted with power,
to restore tho old order Of things, Having
experienced the danger Of running after
strmge gods, they viii be willing TO return to
their first faith and abide by IL
The signs of the times are auspicious.-

victories there will very likely be. 1t is pos

We have observed that the Know Nothings
have generally succeeded in exercising the
balance of power az the first elections in which
they have participated, in towns, cities and
States. And II has been equally as obselva-
bic that where there have bsen succeeding
elections the reaction has been complete and
overwhelming. Witness our own city and
