THE MARCH OF INTOLERANCE.

( "A Know Nothing pamphlet made its appearance
in New Jersey not long SINCE in which it was stren
uously maintained that the Methodist Episcopal
Church liable to the same objections in the pow
or of it's Bishops the Roman Catholic Church
and that both ought to be subjected to the rule
of intolerance.
We learn that the work of prescription has already
been begun by the Know Nothings of N. Hampshire.
Governor Metcalf and Council have removed Rev.
Eeazer Smith from the office of plain to the State
prison-the sole cause being that he is Democrat.
Mr.. Smith is a highly esteemed clergyman of the
Methodist Church. On account of ill-health he has
been unable perform the duties ola Circuit preach
for years past, and the small salary attach
ed to the Office from which he has been removed has
been his chief means of support We do not know
the peculiar religious opinions Of his successor but
the probability is that he is Universalist Uni
versalist, it is known, elected by the Philadel
phia Convention as the national Chaplain of the
Order.
In the language of Mr. Rayner, in the Convention
of 1885, "if you exclude sect, why not another
and another, and finally all except one?"-and,
added Mr.. Rayner with great truth, "there is but
one step from religious freedom to the most bitter
and intolerant persecution" We have heard it in
timated that there Ministers of the Gospel in
this State who are Know Nothngs Can this be SOP
Are they engaged in doing what they have so often
denounced in the Catholics of the old world
oersec+ings Is Chrst's kingdom of this world?
Is it to be advanced by the of carnal weapons?
We concur with the Editor of Methodist Journal
published in of the Northern States that 4" the
Ministers of the Gospel should kaoao nothing but
Christ and him cruciied." Judge Longstreet,
distinguished Methodist, and pious and learned
man, has well described the fruits of Know Nothing
ism. He asks "what they?" and gives the
follows
"Most desperate and dangerous agitation-Church
rending asunder-pastors and 6ocks at varian &C.
Christians losing all confidence in each other-Saints
and Sinners in close embrace-Preachers of the
same church getting but half congregations and
half support-one looking on approvngly, while
another is abused-Teachers tottering-their pupils
in midnight cliques-frendship severing-rage TAX
ing the place of love-father against son-brother
against brother. Thses things now are, and they
proclaim, trumpet tongued, what is coming if the
monster be not crushed at once And all for what?
In honest Truth, to get in the eats and get out the
ans. This is the true object of the order. Well.
it must take its till reason resumes her seat"

- The Editor of the Milton Chronicle makes
specific and particular attempt to produce the i'm
preston on the minds of his readers, that the
jority platform of the Philadelphia Convention
adopted by that body in such way to entitle it
to be considered a national platform. 1t is well
known--and the Editor of the Chronicle is certain
ly aware of the fact-that this platform was adop-
ted by the slavehoding States, Missouri and Della
ware excepted and by New York and California;
and that thirteen free States voted against it. and
then seeded from the Convention. The very par
ties whom it was important to bind the question
of slavery, refused 10 be bound and the platform
is mainly The work of Southern men,. as such, it
amounts to little Not State out of ten that vot
ed for it will sustain the X. n. candidate for the
Presidency at the polls. If Evans only Cath

confessions to make to his priest. In view of his
systematic fbbing, he may we'll exclaim, with one
Of the saints of DID, Lord, give my purgatory
herei" His conscience doubt troubles him, but
then he might go further and fare
By the way, is it true that toe Know Nothing
lodge in Milton has broken up? Let us have the
facts, Mr.. Chronicle If you have effected your pur
poses, the people have right to know what has
been done; if you have disbanded without accom-
plishing your ends let us all know why. The Cath
olics still going about like roaring lions seeking
whom they may devour'-the foreigners are still
coming to this yet peaceful but most badly fright
ened State and the cry is where the Milton Know
Nothing lodge ?-what is Evans doing? There
four Catholic Churches in this State, and only few
thousand foreigners to only eight hundred thousand
natives born In view of these alarming facts, the
cry again is where Is Evans?

NASH COUNTY.

A friend in Nash County, who is well acquainted
with the people and with the condition of public
timent, writes as follows:
eve have heard that it is currently reported in
Raleigh that Mr. Branch will lose six hundred votes
in this county. Now, sirs, 1 think I speak what
know when l say that Mr. Shepard will not getn this
county more than one hundred votes This say
again. is fixed fact and if any of the darkanterns
disposed to dispute the assumption, think they
can be accommodated in any amount they dis
posed to hazard. Six hundred votes, indeed-but
this rumor only in accordance with the systematic
falsehoods set atoat by dark-anterns for effect
My word for it, We shall give L. OBJ. Branch clear
maoGority Of ten hundred and .1fty 0otes Put that

THE UNTOLD CoRRUpTIoNs.

The New York Herald, it is known, is pressing
the name of George Law as the Know Nothing can
didate for the Presidency. How much Law is pay
ing out in hope of obtaining the nomination, is not
known; but he is orth some two millions of dol
lars and it is stated in the papers that he had agents
in the Convention at Philadelphia, who were pr-
vately pledging him for hundred thousand dol
lars for ecctioneerng purposes, in case of his nom
nation.
The Herald and the American Organ" Wash
ington City, are just now engaged in very pretty
little quarrel on the subject; and the Organ"
among other things, says: eve take occasion to
say to the Satanic, that shall not deal in gossip
should we hereafter fit to unJoId the chcanery and
co1ruptions practiced IN Philadelphia during the
gear 1856, by politicians. We say further, that
not one title of ohat occurred at Philadelphia, IN
June, 1856, has yet been told." The Editor of the
s.Organ Mr. Ellis-was member of tho Conven-
tion and ought to know all about these coruptions
Perhaps Messrs. Rayner and Haughton, who We're
also members, will enlighten the people of North
Carolina on the subject.
We avail ourselves of this occasion to say to our
readers, that we have carefully observed the rise
the doings, and the progress of the Know Nothing
party-we have studied somewhat the doctrines and
workings of the Order in the different States and in
the late Convention at Philadelpha-and we know
something of the character of the men who control
it; and while cheerfully admit that there gen.
temen in the Order, and that among the leaders
there is honesty and patriotism, yet upon the
whole believe it is the most unchartable selfish
and corrupt combination that existed in this
country; and that its permanent ascendency in the
Federal and State governments would lead to frauds
embellishments, peculations, riots, mob-aw, disre-
gard of public and private rights, and would end in
the dissolution of the Union and bloody war be-
tween the different and sects in all portions of
the land. This is opinion, and we are entitled
to it. We shall, therefore, make upon this Or
der as would upon deadly foe to the good name
of the Republic and the liberties of the people. We
ash quarters, and zee shall giue none.

The Editor of the Herald was suddenly called off
/" from labor to refreshment" while penning the
above, and so omitted to state the fact that these
same Easton Know Nothings "deprecate in the
most solemn and emphatic terms the repeal of the
Missouri compromise; and also refused, at this

endorsing the g Missouri outrage" The Editor of

facts and will doubt set his readers right. He

The State Temperance Convention of New Jersay,
which met at New Brunswick on the l4th instant,
passed resolutions recommending the passage of a
probibitory liquor law, and also passed the follow
of this convention the drinking of lager bier

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Our readers will remember that the Know Moth

New Hampshire by large majority, electing two
thirds of the members of the Legislature and Metcaf
Governor. The Democracy, as party, stood firmly
by the fugitive slave law, and the principles of the
Nebraska-Kansas bill, and they polled for Governor
vote nearly equal to their former votes but the
combination referred to too strong for them and
they were beaten. The cry of the Know Nothings-
