The Time and the Man.
From the Picayune,l

T%NE ~ 49, -
Tie Boston Chronicle reviewing the political
Held anticipates "stirring times ahead" and re-
marks that "the soils Of Kentucky, Carolina
and Massachusetts envelope the only men who
could hush the gathering tempest. After LIES
frfuI fever, they sleep WELL Their words are
broken, their eloquent voices .hushed. The
foodful earth has them in its custody forever
more"
Prizing the fame, generating the character,
and estimating the deeds of the departed sages
and statesmen of tie Republic as highly as we
lido, we confess we are not with those in opinion
who hold that the principles they upheld and
illustrated, will ever suffer for the lack OF men
worthy to be their successors in the good work.
1--WE should never despair Of the Republic"
The time, we admit, is full of interest, and
is made more and more so with each days de-
velopment of it. 1t must by this time have
become sufficiently apparent that there has
been going on for some months a gradual dis
indignation OF the old parties, and a steadily
progressing organization of another that bids
fair to achieve a triumph, the like OF which has
not been attained by any other in onr country.
The necessity which has poduced this state OF
things has long been felt, and now it is boldly
and openly acknowledged. The great deeps
OF party are broken up, under the conviction
that the time has come for the institution OF a
new point Of departure in navigating the ship
of State; the Infusion of a more truly Ameri-
can spirit in the couduct Of our political affairs;
the adoption of some such needed measures OF
reform in the administration OF the government.
Such being The character of the time, what OF
the man, who is to be placed at the head Of
the great movement which is so markedly char
acterizing il?
1t is no part of our purpose at this moment
to express our own preference for any individual
in this connection. But the ~allusion to the com.
ing contest which we have quoted from our
Massachusetts contemporary has suggested a.
new to us the reflection that whoever 'lhe man.
may be-, he should be one whom circumstances
have already tried before the tribunal of public
judgement. The ~junciu.e is too critical and
important, the issue is too momentous, the
stake is too mighty TO be risked upon the IN.
cer,ain,ies that would attend the committal Of
a mistake in the selection Of the standard bear.
er of the Reform army. An error here would
not only impede its onward march, but wonld
have the inevitable effect of breaking its now
serried columns, if not Of ~discomfting them
utterly.

A German on Know Nothingism.

A German ON Know Nothingism.
We take from a Richmond (va) paper the
following extract from a letter written by MI.
VALENTINE HEcKLER, an adopted German c:t-
izen Of that city. Its just and manly sentiment.
and the independent expression Of them will
commend it to our readers:
SNOW, as to the 'Know.N othings,' don't ex.
actly know what 'Know-N Nothing means. but
if it means that the natives Of this country are
better entitled TO rule the country than for
eigners-whatever they be-, Irish, German,
English, French, Spaniards or Mexicans-then
| am a Know. Nothing in principle, for l believe
so too. a- Ets-s
'Idon't want any Office myself, and couldn't
get one if ] did, and wouldn't be fit for one if
I could, and / think. I am about as ft as the rest
Of my countrymen that | am acquainted with,
but believe the people Of this country under.
stand enough about their own affairs to manage
for themselves; and ! don't see that because
they let me come here and live with them, and
enjoy my liberty. and follow my trade, and
they support me in my business and protect
me in my rights, that that gives me any claim
to ask them to get out Of my way, and make
room for me to some in and have an Office too.
IF ] were in my native home in Germany.
and an American citizen were to come there
and set himself up for an Office, / should not
feel that he had any right to complain Of me
and feel unkindly towards me, because | pre-
f.rred my own coun,ryman to him; and l think
it would be a hard matter for an American to
get an Office where / cams from that was
worth any ones having, and for that reason I
don't complain because Americans choose to
haye their country controlled by their own pso.
pie, in preference to mine.
II have American born children, and am sat-
isied that they should tome in for their share
of Offices, and don't want any Foreigners to
come here and shove them out Of the way.

The "Thunderer," as this mighty intellectual
engine is termed, is reported 10 be in favcfci
the Know Nothing movement In this country
and to have advocated it as wise, judiciousand
eminently patriotic: In consequence Of such
advocacy on the part of a European Journal
of such reputation and influence, the opponents
Of the American party are erdeavoring to give
the impression that Monarchy is plea3ed with
and endorses the great principles for which the
American Party is now struggling. Was this
the case when the same paper advocated 30
warmly the election Of Gen. PIERCE?
The London Times, at the present time,
whatever may have been its antecedents, is
most assuredly on the side Of the people, in
opposition to the Government, and to the prin.
ciples and privileges Of monarchy. II is now
the bitter and incorporating enemy of Eng
lands aristocracy; and in consequence Of the
fear they have of the influence of this journal,
they have in Parliament passed a special act
relative to the stamp duties, with particular re.
ference to the Times, which would have the
effect of bringing into existence a large NUM-
Der of new journals, both in the metropolis
and throughout the kingdom, and thus weaken
if not destroy the powerful influence Of the
"Thuude rer." as rF ss.
No-the London Times, at present and for
a long time past, has been and is the most dan
gerous foe in the Queen of England's do
minions, and she would crush it as she would
a poisonous insect, did she dare to do it. 1t
maintains, as one Of the principles antagonist
cal to the interests of Great Britain and all
other oligarchies throughout Europe. that ta-
lent and the POWER Of mind, TO effect great
deeds, are to be found among the PEOPLE, and
not among those who become great by title
and by accident; and such sentiments, if act
counts are true, are tanning into a blaze in
Great Britain the FIRE Of a mighty revolution
We therefore conclude, that il the London
Times is in favor of the American movement,
il is because it is in favor Of the People. Of a
country ruling their country: and gives evil
dence to the world that it has placed its banner
in the van-perhaps for all time to come-with
the determination TO struggle for the best in
terests and happiness of the British People.

The following is an extract Of . letter from
the Picayune's Washington Correspondent:
WASHINGTON, May 7, 1855.
In the absence of all outside news from the
gallant Commander of our Gulf Squadron, the
result of the approaching elections in Virginia
seems to absorb pretty much the attention Of
the political circles of the federal metropolis.
The Hon. Henry A. Wise, the Admins tration
candidate for Governor, has lately spend some
days in this city, and most Of that time at the
White House, in private and confidential in.
terviews with the President. It is said tina.
during his stay he assured the Executive that
to make his election doubIy sure, it was only
necessary to remove Gov. Reeder, of Kansas,
and appoint in his stead x.Commissioner Lor.
ing, Of Massachusetts. This report the Union
contradicts, but fails to contradict the state
ment that Mr.. Wise demanded, in the name of
the Administration Democracy, the removal
from office Of Mr.. Clayton, Second Auditor,
Mr.. Wilson, Commissioner of the General Land
Office, aud Mr.. B. B. French, the Presidents
special and particular friend and To- Commits
sioner Of Public Buildings. l am assured this
demand was made, and before he left Mr.. Wise
had the positive assurance of President Pierce
that on or before the first day Of July next,

strange Doings in the Town council

II will be recollected that we stated 10 GU
last issue. that three out of five o. the Select
men elected at our municipal election were o
the Reform or American Party. This gave o.
a controlling power in the Council, according
to all previous usage.
Well, a few days after the election the Boart
was sworn in, and then proceeded 10 business
by FIRST b~alloting for their officers. But upor
the first ballot, 10 ! and behold! the Mayor
contrary to all previous custom, insisted upoy
voting also, and did vote. This, Of course
kicked up a considerable of a rumpus with thu
Reform party, who considered as we consider
and like a great many others consider, tina
their rights, as a majority in the Council. were
grossly trampled upon. The Mayors voting
made it a tie, consequently no election coulc
take place. Thus the ballot proceeded fol
some time, making a tie of it at every count
when one of the majority Of the Selectmen
becoming justly indignant, moved to adjourn
till May, 1856, which motion was carried! =
and thus the matter rests.
We have no doubt that the Mayor was ad-
vised by a lawyer to take the course he did,
and thus stopping The wheels Of our munich,
pal government. We thiuk the law upon the
subject Ono. we don't thiok, we are conident)
is too plain to be misconstrued. It defines the
Mayors duties clearly, to the satisfaction Of
Eve out Of, eight Of the lawyers Of our, town,
among whom are the oldest and most distin-
guished, and they are very decided in their as.
sertion that the Mayor has no right to vote ex.
ceptto decide a lie vote and upon questions Of
order. It is difficult to say how the matter
will end in these days Of high political excite
ment. It 10 hard, We admit, for the spoilers to
relinquish the reins of power, but right is right.
and they had as well give up at once as 10 be
forced into measures, for they certainly cannot
maintain the ground they have assumed. Of
course our citizens will have too much good
sense and caution either to pay their taxes or
licenses, until it is definitely established soho
are the officers. +.
