above conclusions, which, after mature
deliberation, have arrived at When
| wrote before, as to the wheat crop,

from meddling in what did not concern
me" and likely shall give offence to
some by the above. This to me is amat-
ter of the least consequence. The con-
sciousness Of an honest discharge of my
duty, / hold them in no sort of valuation
There has been and is now an associated
persistent effort to lessen the price Of
wheat, by exaggerated statements as to
its quantity, and feel fully justified in
placing, what | conceive to be the real
facts in relation to it before the agricul-
tural community. ] have carefully sought
out all means Of reliable information,
and the conclusions founded on it are at
your disposal.

ANoTnER DECEPTION The Griffin
Georgia. Empire State transfxes the
know-nothings beyond escape in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
g In the 9th resolution of the late
know-nothing convention at Macon, we
ind the following words: That we are
in favor Of the acquisition of Cuba when
ever it can be accomplished upon fair and
honorable terms This looks like get
ting rid of foreigners and Catholics with
a vengeance. The population of Cuba is
estimated at abouttwo and halfmillions.
THESE are all foreigners, except d few
native Americans who have settled on
thatisland, and, with very few exceptions.
are all Catholics, Now, the know-no-
thing party set out upon Quixotie cru
SADIE against foreigners and Catholics,
and have been laboring for months to
convince the people of this country that
unless the foreign and Catholic influence
were put down the liberties of this ma
ton are at an end; and yet here comes
along the Macon State council and an
nounces its willingness to throw all the
fat in the fire by bringing into the I'm
ion two millions and half of Catholic
foreigners, thereby doubling the amount
of that sort of population already among
us. Truly, they may be said to be all
things to all men, that may thereby gain
some.'
Major Iverson L. Harris, leading
Georgia wing, threw off his old associ-
ates at Baldwin, in that State, before
democratic convention. The report says:
:" Major |. L. Harris arose and ex-
planned the reasons which had impelled
him, as an old wing, to act, in the pre-
sent condition Of parties in Georgia, with
the democratic party. lie said he was
not democrat, but believed that the de-
mocratic party was the only sound nation
al party now in existence; and to defeat
the principles of know-nothingism, he
was ready to cooperate with that party.
In an able and eloquent speech, he
investigated the principles of the so-called
American party and showed conclu-
siyely the dangers with which this new
party menaced the country, and particu-
larly the institutions of the South. At
ter addressing the meeting for an hour,
he clossd amid greatapplause. =

A FRANK ADMISSION. Prior to the
late elections in Tennessee, Kentucky,
and North Carolina. the Buffalo New
York; Commercial, a leadingaknow-no-
thing organ, made the following frank
admission, which was not only uttered in
sincerity, but has thea of being found
ed in truth:
If Gentry is defeated in Tennessee,
and the. democrats achieves decided sue
cess in North Carolina, the American
party will no longer have an existence as
a national organization Even if they
win a signal victory in Kentucky on Mon
day next, it will avail them nothing com
ing upon an overthrow in the other States
just named"
The Albany Argus of the 9th instant
has the following seasonable comments on
the above:
"The Buffalo Commercial used the
above language in an article concerning
the elections in North Carolina and Ten
nessee, which appeared in that paper on

gcsted has occurred. Gentryis defeated

MEETING OF THE WINGS OF URBANA,
FREDERICK co. MD.

Pursuant to public notice, number Of
the members Of the old Wing party who
are opposed to the new political order
called Know Nothing, met at S, G.. Cock
ey's store, at Urbana, on Saturday the 4th
inst. and organized Ly calling WILL
LIAM JOHNSON to the Chair, and ap-
pointing Thomas TRUNDLE Secretary, tho
object of the meeting having been stated
upon motion committee of three was
appointed to draw up resolutions ex-
pressive of the sense of this meeting with
regard to the course they intend to pur-
sue in the coming contest. The COM
mittee retired for a short time, and when
they returned reported the following
preamble and resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, There is now in existence a
party popularity styled g the Know Moth
ing order, born in concealment, and con-
tinued by the Anti-Republican means Of
secret movements, and illegal oaths, and
whose object is the disfrapchisemcnt Of
two patriotic classes of citizens-the first
forits religion the other for its birth,
thus subyerting the long cherished and
inestimable doctrines, of freedom Of
conscience and equal rights.
Resotoed, That we, the Wings, Of
Urbana district, in Convention Assem-.
bled, recognize in this dangerous organ
ization, an enemy alike to tie principles
Of the old Wing party and to the Con.
stitution and genius Of the American
government.
Resolred, That asgenuine followers Of
the patriotic Clay, whose life was spent
In guarding the interests, and defending
the rights of all his Countrymcn, We
cannot without profaning hismemory and
violating our sentiments, occupy towards
this un-American order any position bui
that of unceasing and uncompranisin,
hostility.
and aoAcrcas, The political questions
ofthe past, between the Wing and Dem
ocratic parties, are not now in contro-
versy and the principal issue before the
people is between Know Nothingism and
Anti-Know Nothingism; and whereas
the Democratic party now presents the
most effective opposition to the Know
Nothing ORDER,
-st;s.e;s Nh Mat strike hands hands with
the Democratic party as hearty allies
against this common foe TO our dearest
rights and privileges, secured by Revo-
lutionary blood, and bequeathed by the
Fathers ofthe Republic.
Resolced, That we rally to the Demo.
Gratis as Wings who have stood by an
unsullied flag as true men," and will
now nail that flag to the same staff from
which streams the Democratic banner
there to float together an emblem that
honest Wings and honest Democrats car
unite for the sake of the country; that
to true Americans, principle is dearel
than party.
Resotred, That the proceedings Of THU
meeting be signed by the officers ant
published in the Frederick Citizen, An
napolis Republican, and all other paper,
friendly to this course.
WILLIAM JOHNSON, Chm.
THOMAS TRUSDLE, Sec'y.
