PROPRIETY.


The conductors Of public press are in duty
bound to speak the truth on oil matters Of a
political character; to suppress the facts on one
side of question, and misrepresent them upon
the other is not dealing Justly or fairly by those
who place confidence in their statements to
commit an error Of this kind through ignorance
Of the political history Of our country is bad
enough, but to do SO simply for party ends, is
|culpable in the highest degree.
In the last number Of the American Patriot,
it is stated, with much apparent confidence,
that Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Iowa, have
gone for the Democrats, and that they are the
most notorious abolition states in the Union
that while these states have voted for the de-
mocrats, Maryland, Kentucky, and Massachu-
sets, have voted for the Know Nothings
Now what we complain of in this matter is,
that the editor Of the Patriot ought to know,
that its implied charge Of abolition in those
states first mentioned, against the democrats,
in those states, is totally unfounded He
ought to know, that the Democrats in those
states, placed themselves upon true national
grounds, and fought and won the victory, sin
gle handed, against the combined exertions Of
Know Nothings, Abolitionists. and Republic
cans, all united on a common anti-slavery plat
form. Ia Pennsylvania, the Wings were in
the combination.
He ought to know, and have the candor 70
admit the facts, that in every free state, (Cal-
ifornia excepted) the Know Nothing, or the
American party, have organized themselves
upon the anti-slavcry, or abolition PLATFORM
He ought to know, also, and without prevari-
cation, or assimilation, concede, that the De-
mocratic party, in every state in the Union,
both north and south, east and west, have
been organized on true national principles,
with the single exception Of the Softs of New
York.
1t is also true that in Indiana, Pennsylvania,
and Iowa, the democrats are true national
men, and have in every instance, stood by the
constitution and the rights of the southern
states Under its guarantees they stood upon
southern issues.
For southern men to charge their only
friends at the north, on this great and vital
question, with being abolitionists, when they
have such indubtable evidence to the contra
ry, is unfair, unjust, and ungratefnl, while the
impolicy Of such course is plain and palpable
To stigmatise southern Democrats with be-
ing slanderous because they write and speak of
the true position of the Know Nothings in the
free states is equally improper, and is dictated
no doubt by wounded feelings, consequent up
on the overwhelming defeat of the Know No
things at our recent election in this state, and
nearly all the southern states.

ent by the debates and proceedings in tho
convention, and more definitely disclosed
by the publication Of their secret plans for
military organization and equipment.
In anticipation Of this desperate and
lawless attempt, the supporters of the ter.
ritorial authority held convention to take
measures for the support Of the law. L
was held at Leavenworth, about q fortnight
ago. The Governor Of the territory was
present and was made President of tho
convention, in which capacity he made I
speech on tho condition of territorial af
fairs. Hlri8a aef
The tone Of the speech is very decided
and emphatic, and his official position giyes
it great Importance in the critical state Of
public feeling. We have no detailed re-
port of what he said, other than q general
summary by correspondents from Leaveu,
worth to st. Louis, and Eastern papers,
The leading points which he made are, how.
ever, plain and unmistakable. Hc ayowed
his conviction that the legislature is law.
full body, to whose acts submission is due.
that they who conspired or acted in oppo.
sitiou were in resistance to lawful govern.
ment, and to that extent traitorous that il
would be his duty as Governor to cause oil
the enactments of the legislature to be res.
pected and enforced by all the power plac
ed in his hands as Governor of the terrific
ry; and he assured his hearers that the OK.
ccutivc power of the federal government
would be exerted, if necessary, for the same
purpose.
The Governor went ut large into the
discussion of the acts of the Free state
party, in the election of Reeder, and their
Subsequent proceedings in forming state
constitution for part Of their people, with.
out any sanction Of law, and he proclaim.
ed them to be in all respects unlawful and
revolutionary.
The Convention thus addressed took steps
to organize Law and order party" for
the defence Of the lawsan the government
Of Kansas, against armed violence threat
ened by the Free Soilcrs. ,lrlE
The other side having completed their
bogus state convention, with which they
claim to supersede the existing authorities
and government, took measures to carry
out their plans by means OF an armed force.
This was the position of the the two par.
ties at the latest direct accounts from this
territory; and it is, therefore, not matter
of surprise to hear that that there has been
collision and bloodshed. We have looked
for them as unavoidable while the anti.
slavery party insisted upon setting up their
will by force over the constitutional organ
ization and legal existence of the Terrific
ry. The first week Of Congress will bc
excited with this question, even if the ac-
counts which have been brought us by tel
egraph should turn out to be premature, or
exaggerations, got up to affect the action
of parties in the election of officers in Con-
gress. Va

But this is net all. Gardner was member
of the Philadelphia National Know Nothing
Council, and was the leader Of the northern
seceders from that body. He penned the pro-
test of the northern delegates. And, in his
speech accepting the "American nomination
for Governor" he thanked his friends who
gave him the opportunity Of being the first
man iu the Philadelphia Convention from Mas.
sschusetts to take stand against the south
ern delegates" Ip .f..f
Among the resolutions Of late mass meet
ing, Of Gardners friends, previous to the late
election. Is the following:
Resolved, That the American party, By
deeds. has done more for Freedom THAN ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS DONE OR PROPOSES TC
DO, and the most emphatic rebuke Massa
chusetts can stamp upon the present anti
American administration and the aggres
sions of the Sonth, is by boldly maintaining
the SPRINGFIELD PLATFORM, and the Amer
ican party under the lead Of Gardner" &c
Such is the character Of the Know Nothing
organization in Massachusetts,, where the Sc
cret Order first originated, and such are th'
acts Of Gardner, whose election is hailed b,
the Patriot, and the leading Know Nothing
journals Of the South, as an American vic
tory" greatly to be rejoiced over. To wha
are we--no, but whittier are THEY tending ?
