Americans Ruling America.

This is the favorite watch-word of the new
party, and has been adopted with the dema-
gogical view of catching up the unwary or
those endowed with strong national instinct
forgetting the fact that none but Americans,
ever have or probably ever will rule America.
Altogether there are not more than one or two
adopted citizens in the Congress of the United
States, and no probability that this number
will very soon be augmented So far as our
own observation and experience has gone, for
eigners are not ambitious of political distinc-
ton, and nothing but supereminent talent will
ever elevate them over the native-born. We
say then that the watch-ward adopted by the
Know Nothings at the head of this article is
all CANNON and humbug.
But very forcible exemplifcation of the
manner in which this new party is inclined to
rule America, was witnessed few days since
at Cincinnati As yet we have but telegraphic
account of the affair, and shall await the de-
tails with some interest 1t would seem, how
ever that the Know Nothings were deter
mined to rule or ruin.
In one ward where the Democrats had a
majority of from FIVE to seven hundred, the
ballot box was violently taken possession of
and destroyed in another, where the Demo
Gratis also had majority, pretence of fraud
was raised and the vote thrown out. Such
are the much vaunted reformers of this new
party. Its principles aud its method of carry
ing them out are fraught with greater danger
to the peace and liberty of the country, than
those OF any ether political organization since
the foundation of the government They
arouse suspicion and excite the bad blood and
worst feelings of our nature, when violence
and anarchy follow as natural result. Mob
ocracy takes the place Of law and ORDER and
what cannot be effected secretly by stealth
and fraud, will be effected openly by violence.
Such always have been and always will be
the results of secret political organizations
Hence we say no true and enlightened patriot
can fraternize with such party. We sin
cerely hope that the late disgraceful demon
stration at Cincinnati will serve as a warning
to the partyin other cities, and that its mem
bers will in the future show their love of
American institutions by more hallowed
regard for the purity and inviolablity of the
ballot box Memphfs AppeaI i.

The Presid ent in Earnest about Cuba
An Apology will be Insisted on.
War Probable.

WASHINGTON, Monday, April 8.
The President really has determined to
make demonstration against Spain at last.
The selection of Commodore McCauley TO
command the Gulf Squadron, is significant,
and the rrImors of an increase ofthe squadron,
which l gave you some time since, are all
confirmed. As strong a naval force as can be
spared for the purpose has been ordered to
cruise in the neighborhood of Cuba, in the
track of our steamers, and future insults to our
flag seem likely to be PROMPTLY redressed.
Captain General Concha is mnch frightened
about the FL Dorado affair, and make all the
apologies in his power. The President has
taken very decided ground in that matter, and
assumed the responsibility of carrying ont
his own views of the measure proper to be
adopted. These, you may rest assured, are
vigorous and extreme.
1t seems that not only the FL Dorado and
the Daniel Webster have been brought to on
the high seas by Spanish cruisers within the
last month or two, but the Illinois, also, was
served the same way not long ago. She did
not report the fact however,--such outrages,
without atonemen, having become too COM
mon to be deemed, in the estimation of her
officers, worthy of notice
There will be trouble with Spain soon, I'M
less, with the usual pusillanmity of insOlent
imbecility, she tImbles to her knees at the
first exhibition of spirit on the part of the
United States. Prompt atonement will doubt
less be made for the outrages upon the Ell
Dorado and the Daniel Webster. But they
will be repeated, doubtless, in the cases of
other vessels The Spanish naval command
els rejoicing in this opportunity of indulging
their hatred of "los Yankees" will doubtless
insist that they cannot perform their duty
without firing a shot at our passing steamers,
and pursuing their insulting search.
They will probably therefore, quite disre-
gard Concha's frightened exhortations to
greater proprlety; but the next time Spanish
cruiser brings to one of our mail steamers on
the high seas, it is intended that a United
States war vessel shall be near enough to par
ticipate in the entertainment by pouring her
broadside into the Spaniard forthwith. Mark
the truth of this The instructions to Nc
Cauley will confirm what say whenever they
are made public Such demonstration will
make an issue not to be evaded; and we shall
then learn the true character of the secret pro-
tectorate of Spain maintained by England and
France. What a capital privateer feet our
Cnban Fillibusters would fit out in the event
of war with Spain, arising ont of these
events.
Mr. Marcy is very backward about going
into this business; so is Mr.. Gushing. Messrs.
Guthrie and McClelland a.e also understood
to oppose extreme measures. But the Persi-
dent has acted on his own impulses, although
only Mr.. Davis and Mr. Dobbin warmly APP
prove his course.

A list of Democratic Victories and
Know Nothing Progr ess
of the Count er Political Revolution

When, last fall, in the midst of its triumphs
and in the plentitude of its power, we pre-
dicted the downfall of Know Nothingism,
and the utter ruin of those who had embark
ed their political fortunes aboard that craft,
there were many who regarded it with utter
incredulity. We knew that no organization
based upon its illiberal, intolerant and anti
American principles, could succeed in mislead
ing any length of time the intelligent iudg-
ment of the masses of our voters. We were
we'll convinced that its dogmas would soon be
as odious with the present generation as the
policy that dictated the passage of the kin
dred alien and sedition laws was to the De-
mocracy Of 1850. Even its strength last
year was fictitious, in great degree, and
though it apparently carried everything, it
was by the aid of other issues and the assist
ance of other organizations.
Our prophesy is being rapidly realized.
The result of late municipal elections indi-
Gates the progress of the countef-political rev.
oluton The Know Nothings have been
beaten in very large number of the cities
and principal towns of the Union where they
had previously been victorious, by decided
vote. 1t will be remembered that Know No
thingism first showed itself as power in the
land, by the part it took in city elections and
the diminution of its strength is exhibited in
the same manner.
Within the last three months We have been
noting down the checks and defeats it has sus-
tanned in municipal contests, and are enabled
now to present the following formidable alb
stract of Democratic victories and Know
Nothing defeats. They have been beaten in
Pittsburg, Pa; Allegheny City, Pa; Oswego,
N. Y, Syracuse, n Y; Troy, n. Y; Utica,
N; Lockport, N. Y; Newport KY; Burling-
ton, Iowa Detroit Mich; Milwaukee, Wis;
Dubuque, Iowa. Galena, Ill; Springfield,
H.; Dayton, o.; Toledo, o.; Sandusky City,
o.; Chillicothe, O.; Hoboken, n. Y; Tren-
ton, N j.; Hamilton, O.; Atlanta, Ga; Evans
vile, Ind; Madison, Ind; Patterson, n. J.;
Hartford, CT; New Haven, Ct; Sheboygan,
Wis; Jackson, Mich; lansing Mich; and
Cincinnati, o.
The above are all prominent points in diff
ferent sections of the Union, and the results
in them are pretty good index of the feel
ing in the surrounding country. After such a
succession of Ieverses in what had been con-
sidered his stronghold, let us hear no more OF
the exploits of the invncible, invisible "Sam, -
for such adjectives amount to the bitterest
irony and derision. In those cities which the
Know Nothings have carried it has been by
lean and slender majorities compared with
their sweeping successes of last year, and its
very victories afford evidence that the organ
ization is on its last legs.-Cin. Enquirer

lee AT THE NORTH AND EAsT.-The ice
embargo on the large rivers of the State of
Maine and Canada East has not yielded to
the mild weather of the last month. The
Kennebec is not open, and the Penobecot is
iee-bound for six miles below Bangor. In a
week or two the ice will break up, and with
the return of navigation business will revive
The st. Lawrence is frozen over with ice of
extraordinary thickness below Quebec, and
it is thought there is so much snow in Cana
da East, that the rivers will not be open for a
month at least
= From the citadel at Quebec, at the present
time, no water is TO be seen as far as the eye
can reach. The vast panorama visible from
that elevation, is now one immense field of
snow AMI ice, and the residents of the city
expect to have their May pole erected on the
ice in the middle of the st. Lawrence river
There is great body of snow in the district
known in New England as the White Noun
tain region, and we must expect to have cold
winds from the north many weeks longer the
present season.-Bostoa Transcript
