other men placed in a similar position with
ourselves, becnbera;ed, lied upon, and ev-
erything else done TO US that could he done
to iniure US or our business. We have gen
orally let lhAee things pass by in sill nee,
thinking that ii we lived long enough, we
should some day come off conqaeror.
Since Know Nothingism started we have
opposed il with all the power we are capa-
pie of using. because we thought and still
think, that it is at variance with the princi-
pies of civil and religious freedom, and re-
~publicauism. Those men who have hereto.
fore been doing everything in their power
against us, have got into the order, and
now have a better chance of carrying II
their Vaccinations against us. Their last
game to irjure US. was to nominate us in
heir midnight len on Saturday night, and
elect us on the following Monday, .as one
Of The Town Council Of Cadiz. The office
is respectable enough for any person to
hold. TO The office we have no objections,
had we been nominated in open light. We
we're disposed to treat the matter as a Joke:
or rather a bore upon us, until tue Repub-
lican made its appearance on last Wednes-
day. Then we took the trouble to look into
the matter, and found that it was one of the
most devilish pieces Of maleyolencc that
was ever eencocted in this community. The
Order at their meeting o. Saturday night
had nearly nominated aborough ticket, when
there was a vacancy Of one councilman
The question naturally arose, who shall
that person be? A iend in human shape
arose and stated that we ha3 done all that
we could against the Order, and the best
way to repay us for it would be to rlace our
name on their ticket. By e~Iccting us, he
said, it would make .hose Of our subscribers,
who are Of q foreign birth, believe that We
had been acting hypocritical, and that we
were = Know Nothing. This, he said
woul ioju1e us more than anything else
they could do, And to make the thing look
more plausible, their brother Mr.. Hatton,
who was present, would publish something
like the foil, wing, which appeared in that
paper on last Wednesdays
Our ncishbor the Editor of the Democrat
&c Sentinel, heretofore, prQfesseiiy, a bitter
opponent Of this secret political order, was
nominated in mja"jgM caHcu8 and ~secrely
supported and elected Councilman by the
bloody Know Nothings. Strange as it may
appear to the old bunker, pro-sIavery, Dem
oCrats,i it is nevertheless true that CHARLES
N. ALLEN, he man who has p blessed
such violent opposition to the Know Moth
ing party, WAS the candidate of that party
and elected BY it to an important Office
Opposition 10 Know No,hingism onthe part
of our neighbor, We should think. will now
cease. Do not attempt to gull those who
arc really opposed TO the American party
any longer, G arley. Your pretended oppo-
%sltion, is now understood.

ing, that, hereafter, the Sentiad is to be

Is that tue, Charley?
The ta2.cjzjng is all Hatton's own.
Had this same Richard Hation written
the above six months ago, we snculI have
paid no attention to It; for at that time it
was well known that he was so accustomed
to lying, that nothing better could be ex-
pected 0 him; but Of late he has profcssed
in open meeting, that be intended 10 be a
better man. Ard we were thinking that
perl APPS he would try and be a decent man.
But in this, (as sorry as We are to say it,,
we have been disappointed, This pretend.
ed piety is onIy acted for the purpose Of
carrying out more eiectually the will of
his corrupt and dcprayed heart.
II is well known that this same Richard
Hatton, when Know Nothingism fr.t star.
ted, was a strong opposer Of the Order
Some Of the hardest hits that we have ever
read against the order have been written by
this same man. lie has always been a
strong opponent Of all secret societies.
Files Of his papers that he has published
will prove this fact. But forfear of ~loosine

posing. And for the purpose Of carrying
out the will Of his new masters, and make
their secret Vaccinations appear more plau
sible, he puts on affected piety in order to
do their will and bidding. They tell him
he must publish just such an article as ap-
pears above, and he does it, no difference
how much knayery there is in it. And vet
at the same time pretend 10 be pious.
This man is never content. His heart /.

cannot live and let live. His only object
ever since be came to the place, has been
to try and injare us in our business, and in
