ANOTHER OLE THE PRESCRIBED.

LoCKPoRT, March Z, 1855.
Your course on Know Nothingism is right
Those papers that formerly were strong Anti
Slavery, and are now dumb or advocate the
secret Order, only show to the world that their
Anti-Slavery principles were rather of mush-
room growth. What consistency Is there In
advocating the rights of Africans and their de-
scendants, and at the same time prescribe Eu-
ropeans? Wonder if the blood of the Pilgrim
Fathers has been entirely wasted, or does so
small portion of it continue to trickle through
the veins of the Bay State population, that they
forget that their fathers flew from their native
land, to enjoy in the wilderness of America the
privileges of worshipping God after the dictates
of their own consciences. 1t is not that her
population is ignorant of these facts, but reli-
gious prejudice has blinded them and although
Wilson is elected Senator, and our Anti-Sla-
very brethren rejoice over it, yet one of two
things he will have to do-he must be Pro-Sla-
very, or Anti-Know Nothing. The charter
election was held yesterday, for our thrifty vii
lage population, which is about $4,000. 1t is
the county seat and the headquarters of the
secret order. All the other petty lodges look to
the grand sachems of our village for direction,
when any difficult question is to be solved
such, for instance, as prescribing the necessary
medicine from the drug shop at headquarters
to all the disaffected. But with all this, our
ticket was elected, except one officer, by hand
some majorities.
Yours, for the human brotherhood, except
ing no cline or color. An FRESHMAN.

If you have no better solution of the Charade

lowing is at your service.
The rising SUM- from his efaIgent beams,
Pours warmth and radiance on the world below;
The sounding Sea with answering beauty CLEANS,
And all its sparkling waves resound and glow,
Beneath that azure dome, the o'erarching sky,
Whose "lofty pillars reach TO worlds on high.
When. in their turn, " the evening shades prevail"
And the fair moon comes forth serenely bright
The dmplng waves with svery foam are pale,
And all their crests are tipped with crystal light
Attracted by their queens resisless force,
They follow evermore her ceaseless course.

THEY WILL BE TRUE.

MASS, TcO. 20, IOOO.
l have not joined the Know Nothings, as
some of my Free Democratic brethren have
done; and cannot but think that, after DELHI
crate consideration, and on witnessing further
developments, they will find that the new move
gent is not what they subscribed for. The
shareholders and their minions often seem to
be divided, when they are really agreed; and
while some of them ostensibly espouse Know
Nothingism, and others in like manner oppose
it, none of them care fig about it, except as
it may serve to turn attention from the giant
evil of Slavery, and the monstrous strides of
the Slave Power. They will agree that the
new movement shall have free course, and will
think it "a pretty tub for the whale to play
with" while they watch their chance to strike
their harpoon into the vitals of Freedom.
| am in daily conversation with Free Demo
Gratis who have joined the Know Nothings, and
l am glad to hear them say, that in no event
will they forsake Freedom, or cease from their
opposition to the encroachments of the Slave
Power. They express an utter loathing of
Sam Houston's late address at Boston, and
spurn him as Presidential candidate.
If Mis Sam has any aspirations for the oc-
cupation of the White House, he has made
mistake in opening his mouth as he did in
Boston. His chance would have been better
if he had kept mum, as Old Zach did, and let
his friends keep the proof of his opinions in
their breeches pockets. Yours,
