/ defiance are all they have gained by the
Journey. II they went TO procure Noitl
s etn Know Nothing votes Tor their pa,for,
$ they have been on a lool's euand, an
, instead OF getting wool have come bac
) shorn.
BY going so far they have proved pre-
ciseIy what they went so far to retute
have proved that il every Northern Stat
their Order is abolitioniztd. They wen
to demonstrate the ncfio2a'i'y ol Know
Nothingism and succeeded IN demoHstra
ting Its especial destltution Of that precise
characteristic. They said 70 their North
ern colleagues: Come, now, show on
adversarirs at the Sonth that you are SCUM
national mem" aud then WIRE answered
''N hat is this YOU say? Are YOU weak
enough to think us dough faces? We a:t
Freesoiers and Will have no more slave
States or slave traffic. Is it possible tina
you sustain the Nebraska outrage along
with PIERCE and DouGLAsa We though
we knew You. There is slight mistake.
Excuse US. Good bye"
The order has vindicated its nationality
in no single particular, On the slavery
question, more than halfthe order opposed
resolutions announcing but The simple, ele
mentary principles of the national Constr
tuition; and seeded because the resolutions
wefe adopted. They could not tolerate
constitutional nationality oh the slave
question. So, IN regard TO foreigners, the
whole Order without division, reasse,ted
their measures or prescription against large
classes Of people whom the national laws
ADMIT TO the fullest citizenship. ADD. as
TO the matter OF conscience, they turned
the oldest races OF Louisiana unanimously
OFT of fellow ship, their liionulity being
too contracted 10 embrace Faith whose
votarie, discovered snd co!onized the con-
tinent
1t is well that this Philadelphia Con-
ventlon has been held. 1t is always best
to know the truth and 10 have to look
it full in the face. The South now sees
plainly that there is nc national party save
the National Democracy. Southe n Wings,
Southern men, Southern patriots, now sre
and recognize tn is fact in the proceedings
at Philadelphia. Some honest men among
us may refuse 10 believe that the Democ.
racy can ever !allv again on their Baiti-
more platform, and that remains to be de-
mopstrated next year but is clear these
persons cannot trust longer in the nation
atty of any political organization besides
the National Democracy. We believe
the Democracy will again vindicate their
nationality. They will reject the councils
ofthe Union newspaper urging to non com
miitslisra en- the slavery question, and will
reasseit their adhesion TO the existing laws,
'heir unal,etabe purpose to stand by the
doctrine of Congressional non-interveniion
in The affairs OF State organized and orga-
nlzing, and to MAINTAIN activity the rights
OF slave States and shareholders under the
guarantees Of the Constitution. The Ma
iional Democracy will do this, and then
there is but one source from which defeat
can overiake them, after they have done
H. aud that is in tins Know Nothing Or
der.
AT the South. the obstacle is this very
Know Nothing Order which is ASSUMING
the Democracy IN every slave State
There is no nope tor the National Democ-
racy in the next Presidential contest un-
less they carry erery Southern State and
two or three Northern States--such as
New hampshire. Illinois, and another OF
the Northwestern States or two. What
is striving TO prevent-what can prevent
The SUCCESS of the Democracy in the whole
South but this Know Nothing party! And
what, there fore, must be .he sole effect oil
the Know Nothing movement at the South
but 10 prevent the only rational party nov
left in the Union, from preserving the con
troll OF the government and Of the destinies
Of the country That is the position in
| which the Southern Know Nothings find
themselves. They are striving to bea
down the on!y national party in the Uniar
in the very section of the conlederacy in
which all depends upon its carving erer,
State.
At the North also. il is this Know
Nothing Order HAT constitutes the only
insuperable obstacle to prevent the Nation
al democracy from carrying number OF
States sufficient, with the whole South, t.
secure the government and save the Union.
! The National Democracy can beat the
Abe litionists at the Norih--as they have
done over and over again. They can bea
the Aboltionisis aud Wings combined
as they have done repeatedly. They cat
beat the Abolitionis,s, Wings and tn,
Freesoil Democrats ianked by the ant
/ iquorites and ismi'es, alas they have
done often and signaIy. But there is q
last feather that breaks the camel's back
They cannot beat the allied army of Flu.
slonists reinforced by the Know Nothing,
shouting, down with the Cath olics, dow n
with the Foreigners.
The succession Of the Northern Know
Nothings at Philadelphia and the slmulta-
neous Convention of.he Northern Know
Something's at sleYelsnd, mean but one
thing, and lhatis expressed exultingIy by
the Tribune u contemplating these tive
movements, thus:
FUSION and cooperation among ALLthe jriends
Of freedom must be motto; and rhen man is SIN
cere and earnest IN The cause We WILL NOTANh
WHAT ARE HIS 4NTEGE DENTS OR WHi1
HIS OPINIONS on OTHER SUBJECTS"
The meaning was announced in the
following greeting of the Philadelphia Sc,
cesson,s,s to their Cleveland confreres,
telegraphed on the day Of their with
drawal
The North is beaten. Thirteen States have with.
drawn in disgust Say to our friends at Cleveland
We are with you heart and soul. May God eterna-
ly d-n Slavery and poughfaceism. =
The meaning is found in the exact con-
lormity and identity between the Cleve-
land platform and the programme OF the
Philadelphia secessionists-parers winch
