The catastrophe of know -nothngism TO The Ian
guage Of Maeauay speaking Of another great evil Is like
10 that onous star In book Of the Apocalypse which
fel from heaven upon the fountains aud rivers and
changed them into worm-wood' II seems TO have come
upon our happy country to turn into bitterness ell that
was sweet and into poison all that nourshing 10
comparatively short period Of time il has rapidly pro-
eeeded from wrong wrong Prosratng in It's career the
most sacred rghis disegardin the most sacred nstu
tons aud ins,ng into the minds Of preudces and
passions which in all ages have ended In boodshed in
revolution.
The removal OF Judge Loring b. the inoerants Of Mas
saehusets Is the last achievement Of the party which
implores the people of the South for their voices
The Boston Courier wing paper of Influence says this
act ais ne first ectire stroke II he Independence of ne judi

constitution Of the United States Who viii heal the
wound Inflicted by this formal OF inf,my upon that
veneracd Instrument What faith hereafter be reposed
in the fidelity of Massachusetts, that bond and guarantee

law and demanding the restoration Of the Missouri Com
promise and the admission Of no more slave States
have been adopted by know-nothing legislatures; and
yet the Louisville Journal and its associates deny that
nothngsm is the imator and supporter of abolition
doctrines. When the las, trophy Of know-nohingsm is
presented to their startled gaze, however they win hardly
maintain the farce which they have tried to keep up
to deceive the South. Judge Ioring's is that
met, it confirms all the other tendencies
of the party and the apprehensons of every
true lover of his country
Bruce the traveller tells of people who appease their
hunger had of cutting slices fron the rumps
their beasts of burden and then of driving them if
nothing had happened The whg papers in the southern
States have way of treating the southern people not
much different from this They to regard them
many beasts of burden for northern abotonists and
expect them receive the blows and the sabs Of those
enemies of their peace and their existence and submit
them without murmur!
But this last stab is too deep to be overlooked. is
driven too the heart to be passed The South
cannot stand such and proceed in its Nor do
The assassns who dealt the blow try to escape. They
