We ,ubIIs, below letter ilon New York, to
which we ask g:,e tiloughtl attention Of read
ers. We know the authorize is gentleman of
character anI Il man of truth. He has friends in
the South whom he desires to n:e;cct against the
nsious app, oachcs OF tl!;; secret organizations and
he loves the Union Of the State, and would do ali
nan MAJ do to warn his Southern friends against
efforts now on fec, which, Il Hls.cG<>:ii', end
in lis iSruptinn He refers to a former letter US
in which he exposes the character and designs of
the Know Nothing organization. IN that letter,
Ecaking from personal observation and experience
he says:
Il found the burden of the speeches made in the
general meetings Of the order was hatred Of the
Catholic name and faith, organized opposition to all
frcigners, and implicit obedience on the part of
every member to the e,licts Of those who ruled the
crirr whilst in the private meetings of the leaders,

The views and sentiments ccntancd in my last
letter to You have been cnr-f,cd if confirmation
vas waited. And nox the great Know Nothing or
gaization III the Northern States stands l"fore the
country as the avowcd and open champion OF aholi
lionsn freeSo:lisn, and every ether ism hateful
the South. The Know Notlings had large
jritY III the Legislature, ard had they 4 desire to
defeat him, ". IL. Seward revcr could have been
"cced. The power was in their hands, and that
oWer sends hi1i again to the Senate to Insult the
eouh-t" agtate the questions that will ultimately
fGaa The Union Able and astute, his far reaching
pans are now organizing in the shape of Know
Nothing councils vast bodies Of men in the South,
Ieady to be wheeled into the Seward ranks and in
dafNness and in secret they will vote for man
"hon they dare not openly support and dare not
efeHy vote for. Let the SoIth beware, for the arch
":SSolcr promises 20 reach the Executive chair
oAce illed BY Washington, Madison and Jefferson,
sn sla should he succeed unsparng persecution Of
c0ut'efh cefh statesmen, and remorseless crushing OF
rroutlern interests will fill the South with mourning
~ tor uod sake stop the Know Nothing movement in

nnI nni northern politicians buying Southern votes
uef n the Know Nothing dodge. Ii is sung through
s sM 'le Southern Know Nothing councils that Mard
n",nore is to be the candidate of the order in the
~ A' PRESIDENTIAL election. False! false as hell!
@ c entire organization of the North will be bent
tnst him. 1t is the last dodge of the frccsa party
,r movement, started only for the purpose
en'cing Southern votes for their support. 1t is
