THERE ARE BUT TWO PARTIES.

Fellow-countrymen, now, before there but two
parties in the United States The oldfashioned wing
ganizaton has been disbanded the wings admit alike
by action and by word but in its place has arisen COM
bination united by common hope for power on the one
hand yet by internal feuds growing out of doctrines
the differing tongues in the tower Of Babel
the other This is the existing opposition to the demo-
cratic party which party stronger in its faith than ever
eager for the contest and willing perish rather
than yield inch to intolerance stands like fortress
against its nyheadcd and manytted adversaries In
all nature there are two opposing elements-the good
and the bad the pure and the impure the healthy and
the unhealthy Every is said to be wrestling with
two angesthe angel Of virtue and the angel Of vice.
And in every case the good spirit oren upright and
candid spirit while the bad spirit is secret the pes
thence willy the serpent and as fatal as DEATH We
have opposing elements in politics as well as in science
and morals The one is bold and candid party the
other and crafty party The one has single creed
applied all ATTITUDES and to all men the other has an
opinion for every fifty miles Of space and champion for
every particular dogma matter how each may differ
from the other Who will fail to where his choice
should fall? Who will hesitate where the road is broad
and the right so clear?

THE ISSUE BOLDLY AyowED.

The New York Courier and Enquirer of Saturday drops
the mask and frankly takes ground for fusion with the
aboltonists and know-nothngs. The Courier is one OF
the irrational organs of the northern opponents Of the de-
mocracy and has many bitter attacks upon the abo
htioniss Observe this national paper falls into
the Seward trap and rallies the North to the onset upon
the South

PERJURY.

The first party that has dared TO teter conscience
and to bind by solemn oah to submit in adpace to the
DEGREES of few desperate demagogues aspes to
federal power in this free country The apparition which
parades before the eyes of those who hesitate to obey the
mandates of these demagogues that all such brethren viii

judgments and give their energies every project which

their friends DISTINGUISHED and hear doctrines avowed

the chains that bind them. And when in desperation,

TIE DENIALS OF FRAUD.

The most instructive part Of the know-nothing policy
the denial by the organs and leaders Of that raryo
every dogma doctrine by which they are known to be
controlled,
They deny that they persecute and prescribe the Caho
lies of the United States while they dsfranchso and
repudate them They deny the hand that they are
in favor Of the rights of the States they deny on the other
hand that they against these rights They deny that
they are hostile adopted citizens while they refuse
to elevate them public station They deny that they
are league with the abolitoniss and yet they have
swept the free States by voting for abotoniss ana are
daily consolidating their union with aboltonists.
They deny that they in favor Of secret plots ana
counterplots, while their whole machinery IS man
aged by clandcane caucuses
They deny that they opposed to emigration even
while they seek practically to repeal the naturalization
laws

We copy the following instructive story from the Co

GA very instructive well amusing incident occurred
Crawford Russell county, Alabama during the discussion
there between Messrs Dowdell and Watts Mr.. Dowdel
charged the knownoings took certain oaths In their
several degrees which free ought to take and was
making tell against his adversary when the following dia
logue occurred
:" Mr.. Watts. j never took OATH.
Mr. Dowdel II there is another know nothing in the
house who has been sworn hope he will rise and make
it known
Mr.. b. ". Baker. ! never was sworn.
Many Voices. We were,' we we're we were
Mr. Dowdel. How is this, feow-citizens? The chiefs
of the party the wire-workers seems,
their pledge of honor, presume is sufficient! But the
wool hat boys the honest yeomen Of the country
PEELED TO take oath before they permitted to enjoy the
benefits Of know -nothngism.'
The effect of this hit may be better imagined than de
scribed The house rang with applause How is it Are
they all docs the order discriminate between its
membership and take the words Of some and pin Others
