OF The editor Of the Louisville Journal
got up mob to beat Germans and Irish from
the polls, destroy their property, burn them
and their property together. After accom-
plishing the purpose to his satisfaction and
that Of his party, he finds the city damaged,
her population leaving, plenty of houses to
rent at reduced prices, and property falling in
value. These things all observe and nobody
denies. This we have stated as consequence
Of Know Nothing exploits. The editor of
thaJousnal cries out that we are injuring the
CITY. We injuring ii, indeed We did all
we could to prevent the injury. Now that it
j. done, we are to submit to the injury along
with the rest and not expose the guilty, lest
we injure the city. The people of Louisville
has seen how the editor of the journal has
beneftted the city, let them listen to him.
He has shown that the city may go to the
d-l, SO his party and his interest arc saved.
Hs has been making money out of the city's
r1ni; fortune, according to his .loasting-snd
what he has done must not be exposed. lest

'Halr the damage done; and if still more evil
y wanted, listen TO the advice of the editor
OF the Jolzz.aL-- We don't believe the at
tempts TO conceal notorious facts, or to lie
about them, is to t5accompIish any good. They
are means we don't understand. As long as
the reign of Know Nothingism lasts, nothing
bettsris to be expected. The injury done is

The Jo1s1'al Of yesterday informs the pub
be that Mr. WILLIAM SHEETS is more than q
match for any democratic orator in the state !;
and that he is far above either Willard OF
Wright; and that it would be presumption in
the Governor or Lieutenant Governor to ac-
espt the challsnge of my Lord SHEETS. Much
obliged for the information. We would not
have our Chief Executive guilty of presump-
ton; but. perhaps, Mr.. SHEETS would con-
sent to hold discussion with Plus 9th; and
not suffer from the condescension. Plus may
or may not be democrat, but he could de-
fsnd the Catholics at all events.

attempt of the Know Nothing mobocrats to
defy the President in his removal of Judge
ELMoRE, and their abuse of his Alministra-
tration, exposes the fraud and puts the re-
sponsibility Of the acts Of the STRISGFELLow
party in Kansas where they belong-upon the
enemies of the Democracy. The President
has had the fortune, by the national course
he has pursued, to incur the hostility Of the
ultra Abolitionists of the North aud the ultra
pro-slavery faction of the South. He is not
popular with the men who get up emigrant
aid societies in Massachusetts, or with those
who make pro slavery forays in Kansas from
Missouri. Both unite in denouncing him.
He is termed by the former AN enemy to
freedom and by the latter as a mean YAM
kee and double-dyed coward While the
Fusionists of Ohio have charged upon Mr..
PIERCE the design of introducing slavery into
Kansas, their allies, the adherents of STRING
FELLOW and ATcHIsoN, have declared that
he is seeking to put the Territory under the
control of the Abolitionists."

about the Hoosiers and our Con-
vent.on

A correspondent Of the Missouri Democrat,
who shows soms ignorance but good inten-
tons, expresses his surprise that the Demo-
ssacy Of Indiana are so National in their opin-
ions and sympathies. The remarks of the
writer disclose one of the greatest wants of
this country, viz: mutual knowledge of
each other by the men of the North and the
South. On this point, the South is more to
blame than the North for she shows greater
ignoranee. There are hundreds and thou
sands In the South who cannot be persuaded
that the Know Nothing party in the North
sympathize and affiliate with the abolition
isss, and here is an intelligent correspondent
Of awidely circulated journal who coolly says
that he had supposed the Old Liners held
views in sympathy with abolition. He
says
"The speakers of the day rather took me
by surprise. Without any previous acquain-
tance with the particrI Ei<bf the parties
In Indiana, had sIcs ~ : bat the Old Lii
nsrs, whose convention it was, held views in
sympathy with the abolition doctrines Of the
greater part of the North; but what was my
surprise to learn from all the speeches dehv-
cred on the occasion, that the Old Line party
claim for themselves the additional title of a
national party; party devoted 10 the Union,
dsprecating the abolition fanaticisms of the
North as well as the extreme measures of the
ultra eouti; party calling upon all persons

The writer expresses his satisfaction ths

THE NATURALIZATION LAWS IN GREAT
Citizenship in Great Britain, says
an exchange, is not so difficult to be attained
as might-be imagined. There is some delay
and unnecessary routine to be performed, and
rather heavy expenses in the way of fees to
be provided for, as is common with every
thing in which the English government has
finger, but the provisions of the law regula-
ting naturalization are, on the whole, very lib
eral. In the statute and 8 Victoria, Sc,
entitled "an act to amend the laws relating
to aliens" it is directed that tba applicant
must send to the Home Secretary a memorial
praying for the grant, and setting forth the
name, age anj profession of the applicant,
whether married or single-if any children or
motor what friendly State natve-and if
he intends TO continue to reside in tho UDited
Kingdom. This memorial must bo substan-
tiated by an affidavit of the petitioner, and
the declaration of four householders of good
repute, afirmatory of his respectability and
loyalty. A certificate of naturalization is
then issued, which entities the person to
whom it is granted the right to vote, hold
freehold property, and all the other immuni-
ties and privileges of British subject, except
that Of a seat in the Legislature or the Privy
Counci. The cost of procuring this certi6-
