mans persuasion. 50 the people are resolved to
groan for no mans satisfaction. They have
faith in visionary theories which take from each
father the absolute control over the education of
his own child, and impose upon the State the du-
ties and responsibilities of individuals. These
things they regarded tending to what the
Editor of the Enquirer terms IAN agrarian" and
"sociastic" spirit, from any approach 10 which

Mr. Wise was OF course quite profuso in his
denunciaton of the Know Nothngs, and greatly
exaggerated the merits of the Catholics in the
person OF Cardinal Laueton, who however he
may have aided the Bnrons of England in their
contest with the King. never did anything for
the common people. Omitting all dicnssion of
Hunters Land and its kindred topics, he con
cluded with complimentary notice OF Mr.. 30,
cock whom he said our citizens knew, and "f
McComas in regard to whom. he might safely
infer that all of US are know -nofbings.

who sought these lists for publication to announce
a single name II is also said, that all applications
