TIE NEW PARTY HACKS.

1t is said that Mr.. Patton, the Know Nothing
candidate for Attorney General in Virginia, was
ant-Van Buren, in 1882, and for Van Buren, in
1886 Rives Conservative in 1637-39; Wing in
1910 State-rights Republican from 81 to 1914 ;
Democrat from 1914 to 1913 Know Nothing in
1855. In 1s4S, when Mr. Patton WAS picturing
the rise, progress, and decay Of the Native Amer
lean party he described it as 'AeL6orn and he'll
bound party"
Mr. Deale, the candidate for Lieutenant Cover
nor, is disappointed of6ce-seeker, having chung
round" and impoituned at Washington for some
time in vain, for place.
These gentlemen are the candidates of party
which set out by declaring, as one of its fixed and
leading rules, that all old party hacks should be
excluded from its countenance and support! The
truth is, this new concern Of Know Nothingism is
an ark of refuge-a sort of common sewer for de-
PRAYED, disappointed, and broken down party
hacks generally.

VIRGINIA.

The intelligence from the campaign in Virginia
is cheering. Mr. Wise continues to address the
people with great eloquence and unf1agging ener-
ev. and the Democratic papers of the State are
sustaining him and the cause with spirit and abil
itv never surpassed even in the Old Dominion. The
Known Nothing candidates are thus far dumb and
it is believed they will not dare meet Mr.. Wise be-
fore the people, in the face of the sun and in the
eve of light This to have been expected. 1t
is natural that those who plot and plan i'll the dark
should shrink from public discussion and from the
scrutiny of an honest people.
The last Enquirer states that the Faction among
those Democrats who have been seduced into the
Know Nothing lodges, has begun. Eighty men,
hers have withdrawn from the lodge at uarper's
Ferry, and openly expressed their determination
70 vote for the entire Democratic ticket. Seventy
five more members stated they would withdraw at
the next meeting. I" 1t is the same" adds the En-
,uirer, all over the State. Know NothingiSm is
staoperino to its fall and woe be to him who is
caught under its ruins. The deluSon Is past, and
sober reason begins to rea=sert its supremacy. The
history of domains g0urd, will be the history of
Know Nothlngism. 1t sprung up in night; it
will wither aud disappear in day. 1t is the devils
work, and will leave behind mighty smell of sui
phur. Miserable the man to whom in after years
the infanny of Know n othingism will attach Time
will not obliterate the stain"
The election takes place on the fourth Thursday
we believe, in May. We adhere to the opinion,
expressed Immediately after Mr.. Nises nomina
ton, tina: the Democracy will triumph.

Still ANOTHER SPANISH NsULT.-A private let
ter has been shown to us from gentleman Of the
highest responsibility at Havana dated the 10Th in
slant, confirming the Geographic statement via New
Orleans of the arrest at Sagua La Grande of Mr..
Thompson, the yice-consul of the United States at
that port. The letter states that "Mr Thompson is
one of the most respectable merchants this island,
and the leading one at Sagua La Grande-the acting
consular agent. The arms of the United States had
been put up at the office by his predecessor, and
complaint ever made of their exhibition until the
time of his arrest The forcing them down from
their positonsin the rude manner in which it
done is great indigni,y! His sudden arrest, and
the forcing him to leave his extended business in
two hours was very great outrage" 1t is added
that Mr. Thompson was a prisoner in Havana.
We forbear comment upon this latest case of per-
sonal wrong and indignity by the Spanish function
aries in Cuba until we receive the authentic details.
Occurring upon the heels of the Ell Dorado insult,
and involving gross indgnity to national honor
in tearing down national arms and arresting and
imprisoning American citizen, it shows how crit
zeal are our relations with the Spanish government.
We need not add that the subject will prompt
attention from our government In the mean time,
may expect to in the Intelgencer an early
excuse or justification OF the Spanish authorities.

The Dublin Nation contains horrible picture of
the condition of Ireland, from the pen of MIR. Duffy.
He says
No words printed in the newspapers or elsewhere
will give any man who has not 1t Il conception
of the fallen condition of the west and south. The
famine and the landlords have actually created
race in Ireland have seen the streets of Gal
hoos of Swift-creatures having only distant
and hidcouS resemblance to human beings. Grey
haired old men, whose idiot faces had hardened into
a settled leer Of mendcancy, simous and seni-hu-
man and women tilthier and more fightful than
the harpes who at the jingle of coin the pave
ment, swarmed in myriads from unseen places,
struggling, screaming, shrieking for their prey like
some monstrous unclean animals In Wesport, the
sight of priest the street gathered an entire
pauper population thick as a village market, swarm
ing around him for relief Beggar children beggar
adults beggars in white hair; girls with faces gray
and shrlveed, the grave stamped upon them i'll
decree which could not be recalled women with the
touching and tragical aspect of lingering shame
and selt-rcspect not yet etiaced and among these
terrible realities, ilnposture shaking in pretended
fits, add the last touch of horrible groteSqnencSS
TO the picture! l have seen them accursed sights,
and they have burned into my memory forever.
Away from the town, other scenes of unilraginablc
horror disclose themselves. The traveller meets
groups and even troops, OF wild, idle lunac looking
paupers wandering over the country each with
tale of determination to tell. If he penetrate into
cabin and can distinguish objects among filth and
darkness, of which ordinary pig-sty affords but
faint image, he will probably discover from dozen
to twenty inmates i'll the hut-thc elected cOttrrs-
clustering together, and breeding pestence. What
kind of creatures men and women become living i'll

Hon. T. II. BAYLY.-We observe that this

from his District, Virginia. He says he is State
Rights Republican, and refers to his political rec
ord for the last eighteen years. He is silent in his
card about the Know Nothing movement. 1t is
neither our business nor wish to thrust advice upon
him but if he should hesitate i'll his course in re-
lation to that organization, defeat will overtake
him. He is a Democrat and the Know Nothings
will therefore give himsno quarter. All experience
in the Northern and Northwestern States has
