ORIGIN OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

It is DO wonder that federal whiggery falls so
readily iuto the support of know-Gothngism, for
know-nothingism is but revival of old toryism
and federalism. The Declaration of Independence
charges as one OF the offences Of George the III
against the colonies that he attempted TO obstruct
their population by refusing his assent 10 natura-
lzation laws and to other laws encouraging the emf
grafton of foreigners to this country. The alien
laws Of the administration Of JOIN ADAMS are re-
membered as one of the main causes Of the over
throw Of federalism at that day. The following is
one OF the resolutions Of the Infamous Hartford
Convention, held during the last war with England
TO plot treason
18th. Reso,ae5, No person who s.,ai hereafter be
naturaliZed citizen Of the United States shall be
eligible IS a member Of the Senate OF House of
Representatives Of the United States nor be capa-
be of holding any civil Office under the authority
Of the United States"
Here is The Identical idea of know nolhingism.
So knOw-nothingism being but old fashioned
federalism it is no wonder that whiggery 80 readily
falls into IT,
And yet isn't II q wonder Isn't it a wonder
that whiggeTy can't learn lesson from the fate of
its predecessor and ancestor? How Infamous the
alien law and the Hartford Convention have rem
dered federalism! Modern federalism in adopting
know-nothingism, adopts a far more Infamous
creed than that which damned its ancestor to an
Infamous notority. For old federalism made war
only on foreigners; while modern wing know
nothingisn goes still farther and invokes the spirit
of religious bigotry and intolerance to its aid.
We ask democrats to think of these things No
man who ever had sense enough TO tel why he was
democrat can fail to detect the old enemy in the
modern secret association.

CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION IN ENGLAND.

The Catholic Emancipation movement in Great
Britain has always been considered in this country
as the triumph Of Justice and liberal principles over
oppression and bgotry. During the long series Of
years it was in progress, it underwent thorough
investigation. No one will suspect that the Estab-
lished Church of England luxurating in its supre-
macy, would for moment have tolerated dan
gercus rival; or that the vigaut, uncompromsing
Dissenters would have given countenance TO new
Power subversive of their rights; or that the
naughty conservative Aristocracy OF Great Britain
Jealous of is domination, would have admitted to
political righths body, owing allegiance to for
eign Prince. John Bull, to say the least is just as
intolerant of foreign domination as the most zeal
Gus Yankee Know Nothing; and certainly, the
Protestant scholars and divines, and statesmen Of
England were Just as capable of investigation, as
Ned Bunt.ine, Governor Gardner, Daniel Ullmann,
Willard Fillmore and the partisan editors among u.s.
who have all at once sprung up into Uniformed
polemics, armed with fragmentary quotations taken
from authorities they HAYS never seen; and yet,
Church, and the Dssenters, came to the conclusion
that the Pope's Temporal Power was a fiction,
carried through the Emancipation Movement, and
the world hailed the fact as a glorious evidence of
Progress and enlightened Christianity in Great
Britain. And shall we, Americans, Boosting cur
pre-eminent civilization, take up humbug, which
Protestant England has exploded, and adopt
policy which Peel and Wellington, pillars OF the
Aristocracy of the Establishment, repudated, as
something too barbarous and antiouated, even for
the most severe, time-worn Conse ryativism to
sanction

,ruF NEW TAX LAW


Although the present Board of Mayor and AL
dermen have done many silly things, they yet de-
serve credit for what good they may do. The re-
cent law passed for the collection Of Taxes, at the
instance of Alderman HARRIS, may be recorded
among the good deeds of the Common Council
The law provides for the payment of the taxes
at the Office of the Revenue Collector, instead of
allowing that officer TO go out upon the streets with
the official books of his Office under his arm. In
short the old village system of "going round for
taxes due, is utterly abolished; and the wonder is
TINT such patronizing mode Of doing business
should have so long obtained favor IN city. The
urbanity and clsverness Of the Collectors has here
to.ore kept up system at once void OF dignity and
respect Hence we are glad a change, long need
ed has at last been made
According to the new law, specified time IS
fixed for the payment Of corporation taxes, and
annie notice is given Of the change-thus putting
all tax payers upon al equal footing. This is re-
forrr~long demanded by all good citizens as they
have heretofore suffered from want Of such an
equitable arrangement
As to the temporary arrangement made for the
payment of taxes in February it is unnecessary to
speak. Those interested TO any considerable ex-
tent. will be very apt to find their way to the Col
lector's office before the [irst OF March.
Altogether, we hail the new tax law as a consid-
cradle advance in the scale of progress and it re-
fleets credit upon our municipal rulers.

A SPLENDID COMPLAINANT

II is settled that the Hon. NJ p GENTRY is tob be
the "whig candidate for Governor, without the
fOrmality of q convention 1t is expected that he
will be the candidate of the temperance party and
of the know nothing psrty-the latter being one
Of the Gliasso Of whiggery.
The compliment thus paid by the wings of Ten
nessee 10 the administration of Gen. PIERCE will
doubtless be appreciated at Washington. 1t will
be remembered that Col GENTRY refused to sup
port Gen. Scorr, and, in public speech, decloked
that, if he thought his vote necessary TO give the
vote of Tennessee to Gen. PIERCE, he would so
casti it. He was reported to have bet considerable
number Of males on the result. He has never
publicly repented of his conduct and whiggery
now endorses it.
1t would be much more manly for the Scorr
wings OF this State to come out frankly and con-
Tess their error in opposing PIERCE and supporting
ScoTT. Perhaps, however, this wou!d be asking
too much at their hands. They arrive at this very
good conclusion when they give Col GENTRY the
preference over the many anxious wing asprants.
1t IS limited, indeed, that the leading wings con-
slider it punishment to contest the State with

go this punishment for his sins in the last Presi-
Dental canvass before being restored to his old

this may after all be the true version OF the mat
Ter. We promise whiggery, snch being the case,
that the punishment shall be ample
- We trust that we shall not be suspected
OF wishing to interfere with the details of neigh
boris business, il we remind aspiring wings that
they can hope for no special fAvors from their par
