The Late Z. N. Convention.

Among the national movements re-
commended by the late Know-Nothing
Convention in Odd Fellows Hall, the
only ones that have leaked out are these !:
The motto, "E fZuri5us Unum," on
the Federal Coat of I. rms, is to be trans
lated into the singular, "Im one of
'em, I am )" the Phrygian cap, unheld
by the ONE who is for the Genius of
Liberty on the national coins is to be
s%upplanted by a Georgia palmetto and
the stars, " which are the poetry of
heaven" and consequently hat-footed
foreigners, now and forever, are to be
left off altogether. There is also to be
an inquiry into the expediency of abol-
ishing the English language, which is
proved out of its own mouth to be of
foreign extraction, the only point of dis
agreement being On the article to take
its place-some going for Hindoo, some
for the euphonious Pottawattom;e, oth,r
for the poetioal Choctaw, while the more
liberal are willing to compromise upon
the classical cipher in which the work of
the order Is printet-a sort of provincial
Welsh, with the vowels left out. Be
sides these recommendations, and ST
fering the oratorial ibfiction of the great
Gustdvus Ado,thus Scroggs, there seems
to have been nothing of public impor-
lance in the session.-N. Y. Triw5ne.

Schuyler the Ruined Banker.

A N. Y. letter writer makes the fol
lowing comment upon the fallen fortunes
of the celebrated Robert Schuyler
1 passed the other day the splendid
mansion of Mr.. Schuyler, whose stipend
Gus frauds are so well known. 1t was
closed and apparently solitary, though
his family still reside there. What a
contrast a few months has apparently
made in that familyl Its glory is dim.
Crowds no longer assemble in the spa
cious p%arlors the coaches of the splcn-
did and gay do not line the sidewalk;
the brilliant lights and the dashing COM
pany no longer allure the crowd to herd
around the curb-stone-all is solitude
But what a lesson does this event teach.
Mr.. Schuyler had two characters. In
business, on charge, at his rooms in the
Astor, he was known as the high-minded,
honorable, successful pure-minded man,
one of whom New York was proud, n
whom she delighted to honor. Now
come with me into one of the least pre-
tending streets in New York. This
house is as unpretending as the street.
Mr.. Spicer lives here. Let us enter
Mrs. Spiccr and a family of children
from 10 years aud under compose the
household. 1t is to be a singular family.
Mr.. Spicer is a singular man. No one
ever sees him. The butcher, the milk
man, the landlord, doa't know him.
Mrs. Spicer does all the business. Mr..
Spicer comes in late he goes away early
in the morning. He is a business man
he aas so much business that he is new
er seen in his family. Remain there
day and night you will never see Mr..
Spicer. The daughters become young la
dies. They are all educated. They go
out into society, but no one knows their
father. Mr.. Spicer's name is not in the
business dill. Glory. SO have this family
lived for twenty years ia the heart of
Now York At length the elder Miss
Spicer is engaged to u most worthy mau.
1t is needful to gain the cohceut of Mr..
Spicer, that the marriage may take
place. a time is appoint d ahd the ex-
p~ectant son-in-law is placed face to face
with Mr.. Spicer. He is told By the
fathor himself that his name is not Spieer,
but is Mr.. Schuyler; that the mother
of his daughter is taken IN marriage the
mother shall be welded. The double
act is cnnsumated the veil is removed /;
New York is agitated for a moment by
the disclosures; an elegant house is ta-
ken on twenty,seeond street. aud the
is launched on the wave of fash
ionable life. All the world knows the
sequel. With so rotten a foundation,
how could the superstructure stand I?

Know Nothingism.


Robert Wallace, of Coyington, KY,
has sent us an address that he has just
published on Know Nothingism. He
says:
1Itsis admitted on all hands, that
the Wing organization is dissolved, but
where are the materials of which it was
composed They have not joined the
Democratic party, neither have they re-
tired from the political arena for we
see them as active as ever, and exceed
nigly delighted with the result o frecent
elections. In fact, they seem to vote
tho Rnoran1uS ticket to a man. We
are, therefore, forced to the conclusion
that the great Wing party has either
been absorbed by the Know Nothings, or
they have swallowed the latter, neck and
heels. This can only be decided by
observing who the leaders are of this un-
d~erground, anti-republican invention
With US they are the most decided old
school Wings, who were never known to
advocate a Democratic principle in all
their lives. In 1910 they went for log
cabins, hard-cider and coon skins; in
1852 for the sweet Irish brogue and
the dear Dutch accent; and now they
are down on the Dutch and Irish rab-
BILE.
Are these heterogeneous combina-
tions, these sworn confederates, and
these secret conclaves to govern our
country? It is not consistent with the
character and safety of our republic,
that the will of the people should be
4-allnl L.,
1t is unsound, unwise, and u%nconsti-
tutional. became it destroys the rights
of others, and is at war with every prin-
ciple of freedom. Secret political soci-
cites may be excused under an absolute
despotlsm, where the liberty of speech
aad of the press is prohibited but there
is no honest excuse for them in this free
country, where every public subject can
be openly discussed, and the people
have a sovereign right to investigate
their own affairs.
"Some of US profess to be sons of
patriotic fathers, VINO fought, bied and
died for our liberties; shall We so soon
consent to sell those liberties for a mere
mess of. pottage-for a petty Office, Or
for the triumph of a party? a party,
too, whlcl has bcea defeated and demol-
ished by the force of truth a party
which has ruined all the names it even
assumed. 1t may seek some more pat
triOtic name THAI the present. but the
whole concern is but a new e~xpedient
to get into power. We can we'll fore
see how that power will be used. All
the old denominations would soon be re-
vived ; a national bank-a partial tariff
"a swindling scheme of internal i'm
proveirent-and a national debt which
would never be paid. Then the labor
ing milliops might toll to pay their tax
es; but the Lords of tho Loom and the
holders of the public bonds would ride
in triumph over the heNe rs of wood and
the drawers of water.
" There is ~uo'hunbug in these senti-
ments, neither is the writer of them a
demagogue he new has asked a favor
Of the people; but he knows his child
rem must abide the fate of our republic
whether it be for veal or VICE."
