The Two p arties---Judge We between them.

The Two Parties---Judge We between them.
The leaders and presses of the Know Nothing
Marty in the South have been assuring the people
for the last twelve months, that their organization
would destroy the spirit of sectionasm protect the
rights of the saveholding States, and thus perpetu
ate the Union The people have looked, and wait
cd, and those of them who placed confidence in
these assurances-have they not been deeply disap-
pointed?
The K. N. organization is already utterly section.
Allied 1t holds, the slavery question, one set
of principles in Ohio, Massachusetts, and Vermont
and another in North Carolina, Georgia, and Ala
bama. Even New York, whose delegates at Pha-
delpha voted for the twelfth article in the platform,
has taken ground against the South, pronouncing
the repeal of the Missouri line an odious and unus-
tiiable act In Maine and other free States the
Know Nothings are fusing with the abotionists,
and making common cause against their Southern
brethren under the new and imposing title of Re-
publicans. Every where, in that region outside of
the old Democratic organization, the cry is,
Stare SGtes-the repeal Of the Jugitice-sluUe laaO-
the abolition Of stacery in the District Of Columbia
and these measures are to be urged upon the next
House of Representatives, and their passage made
fred condition by the mGjortty in that body to the
further existence Of the government ITSELF In other
eral appropriation bill, and the government is to be
arrested unless these Infatuated fanatics allowed
to have their way. Thus Know Nothingsm, instead
of having benefited the South, has injured it in
stead of having repressed the slavery agitation, it
has increased it and the Union of the States so far
from having been strengthened, has been involved
in deeper peril than at any former period.
The tree is known by its fruits.
Turning to the old Democratic party, what do we
see? 1t has saked ITSELF in all the free States for
the Constitutional rights of the South and the pre-
servation of the Union. The language of its public
meetings and of its presses, general rule IS full
ly Up to the expectations and requirements of all
reasonable Southern men and though beaten not
long since in many of the States referred to- by the
combination of isms it is again rallying-it has just
carried the State of Maineand is girding itself for
the great contest of next year, the result of which
depends the rights of the States and the existence
of the Union. Under this view of the condition of
public affairs, what Southern man can hesitate as
to his course? On side he perceives opposition
to the South, disunonism and a combination of all
the Objectionable sms of the day; the other,
pect for the rights Of the South sincere devotion
to the Union according to the Constitution and OPP
position to wha tever threatens to sectionaze the
country and endanger the public repose and safety

- The Wilmington Commercial admits that
the Northern Know Nothings not governed by
Constitutional principles. Such admissions by the
K. N. press of this State so rare, that we put
this on record. The Commercial says:
" In the contest for the supremacy in regard to
the Presidency, the American Organization will
present high claims, and will, probably succeed.
But in order to do this, the northern portion will
have to adopt constitutional principles, acknow-
edgng the rights of the slave States, or else the
southern portion will be apt to fall in with any par
ty that asserts this sine qua non in its creed".
That must be strange american organization"
which is sectional as the Commercial confesses, and
not governed by the principles of the Constitution.

VERY GooD.-The Federal (Ga.) Union gives the
following as the reason why the Know Nothing can
dldates are generally such weak and slow men -
Many persons have been at loss to know why all
OF the Know-Nothing candidates happen to be such
weak and slow A little reflection will explain
the mystery. 1t must be remembered that all the
hnow-Nothngs profess to detest and shun Office as
they would pestilence their motto is the Office
must hunt the man and not man the Office. Con-
sequenty, there is frequently great difficulty among
hnow-Nothngs for Office to get candidate, and
IN the wild hunt of the Office after candidate the
weakest and slowest men run down and lassoed,
whilst all the strong and fast men escape. Wehope
our readers will remember that our solution of this
hnow-Nothng mystery is predicated upon the dec
iaratonS of the Know Nothngs themselves
