Immediately AFTER the election a ''change
came Ger the spirit OF his DREAM his eye s
were transformed into powerful magnifers,
swelling the dimensions of "Slm" into a
mighty giant-casting the tabled GENTS
completely il the shade. Something must
be done to corciliate "Sam's" favor, or his
subscription list might shorten. According

PaAiatireS from his Know Nothing exchsng
es-not daring to say anything in his edito
rails until he should read the signs of the
times 4 little longer. He also published
column after column of nonsensical bigotry
on The Catholic question from a correspon.
dent of this county.
But this course did not seem to please so
well "a he had expected. Those who had not
yet seen Sam" complained of his turning
his paper into Know Nothing journal. To
cure this complaint, he came out with a few
p eces somewhat opposed 10 the order. But
he was soon informed by the leaders of the
order, that, tina would not 6o-lhat
they would Withdraw their supper! if he
continued that course longer. Then follow

was his course, about this time, that many
supposed that he had made a bargain, with
he order here, to give them the control
OF his paper every other week. This see
saving course continued until the 18th Of
February when he joined the order himself
One OF his principal objections as he says
Iojoining the order before was, its i.liberal
policy towards foreigners. Bat sometime
before he joined the order, he stated in his
paper that he had been informed by good
authori y that, that Objectionable feature
had been removed.
We denied it, and said it was a faIsehood
coined for the purpose of q~uieting that nu-
merous portion of our population and if pos

We knew that We could not be mistaken
with regard to the orr gi1al principles of the
order throughout the country-consisting Of
three QUESTIONS, opposition to foreigners,
opposition TO Catholics, and mainly opposi,
ton to the Democratic party. But we have
since got into the secret of this matter, which
it may be well enough to explain to our
readers. and we have our information from

could concoct some deceitful plan, to gull

Something must be done to conciIiatc

1t appears that Cadiz is not exactly the
headquarters Of the organization. The
WIGS do not centre here. A wire has been
pulled by Mr.. Thomas Spooner president of
the State Council of Ohio WHO although not
the highest officer in the Union, is still a lit
tie higher than the president of our own
township or county council. But even HE
could not charge the ritual. There is but one
person in the United States Who is the au.

that person is Governor Gardiner Of Massa.
