TIE GLoRIors seyrsry-Foum--Fhe southern know-nob-
ing press much distressed as this time about the
gallant and glorious position which The democratic party
North and South have assumed through their sepresena
sYes Washington Their position is mpregnable that
the national know dare not attack il upon priuci
pie but they subterfuge, caumny and detraetion
We .y adi, that upon the vital questions Of the day
The democracy fay sound themselves they sil
stand aoo and give 10 She country for their
lions that ought Of Because the dem
ocras in their preliminary resolved 10 stick
to their men at all hazards and vote for no but
one Of tleir own number, these know nothngs re-
solve tibet Il is Insult to them and that they viii
unite upon national that il not of their num-
Der They have the right TO do this that the demo-
crats the glorious seventylour have. But We contend
they have not the right adhere to their resolves
FOR The simple that they in such minority
that they and not the democrats ought yield On the
republican priacipe that majority ought TO ru!e they
cannot with any fairness, ask seveny-four men, whom
they admit be good and true themselves to yield
to their little squad scarcely eorporaa guard, Of thirty
thcy entertain as they profess to do the same opinions
upon the question of slavery with the gallant seventy
four democratic in conraSistincoa 10 those Of the hun
red and six aboitionists who vote daily for Banks we
cannot see why they should divest themselves Of the
ctiou preudces that induce them To vote for Fuller in
stead Of Richardson.
The great question upon which the hopes of the Union
now bang the maintenance the repeal or the Ncbras
ka bill This We have argued time and again. Long be
fore the meeting Of Congress- told readers that the
great the leading the aabsorbing question before
would be the Nebraska bill The know-nothings South
Insisted that national question, and endeavor
ed to prove that the democracy divided upon it and
were not reliable They contended that the paramount is
before tue country would be whether should
rule America They insisted that foreigners were now
ruling The country that 1t was fast going TO tue devil
that the Pore was Fastening jts ruin and that the
only way TO save would be 10 stop emigration and deny
Office to Catholics We laughed ct these insane ideas
and all along endeavored to show that These leading
principles of their party were the sheerest and Sill
Hest garnmon. Well, canvasses were made, govern
ors and senator's aud representatives elected npon
these issues and what Ia the result? II proves that
we were right Since congressman have met Ia nm
t,aa, council it has been amply demonstrated that the
Great doctrine Of Americans shall rule America sinks
into nsgnGcance In comparison with the question Of sa
very and that the motto "pat none but Americans on
guar has cgsneraed Tho cry Of put none but aboi-
cus.s on gnard Tbs few national ow-nothings soor
discovered that the third degree was worse than farce
and they compelled to drop ier intense American
lam for SOMETHING substantial They were Obliged
to ignore their devou fear of the Pope and make their
lending idea the 18th section Of the Philadelphia platform
They made the leading idea of the democracy their own
and then began whine because the democracy would MOI
abandon their organization and 60 to them. After
having stolen PLATFORM they have the impudence
ask us to occupy y with them
We are glad that the glorious seventy have thus far
Indignantly refused to accept such humating terms As
men, as gsm,le,uen patriots they ought to stand just
where they are and not yield inch. BY yielding to any
overturea the know nothngs may make they will fall
from their proud position and lose their oelfrespcct and
the respect of all patriots AS they stand now they
ara the admiration Of Tho world and the "old Sward" Of
IA Union man whom alone it can rely--an immortal
band, whose acions,
aIlks some tail eti that nfts Its awful form,
Swclls from The vsle and midway leaves the storm
Though round it, ba.s .hs rolling clouds are spread,
Eternal sunshine settles lite head
