ANTI-KNOW-NOTHING DEMONSTRA-
TIONS

The OgdtnsJurgt Sentinel contains a call for a
fusion" meeting of al the citizens Of st. Lawrence
Co., without distinction of party, who are opposed
TO resgnng the interests Of the public into the hands
of an L" irresponsible secret organization"
Some of the Glens Falls Hndoos OF the Pro-
Slavery and Virginia school, having burned in efiigy
the Hon. X. II. Wells Member OF Assembly Of War
rem Co, meeting of the people of the county was
held to express their opposition at such proceedings
Some of the office seeking Hindoos interrupted the
proceedings but the citizens repaired elsewhere, aud
passed resolutions fully sustaining Mr.. Wells in the
vote be cast for Gov. Stewards reelection to the
United States Senate The meeting was organized
by appointing AonzoW. Morgan, Chairman, and
Marion Eastwood, Secretary.
Among the resolutions adopted were the fol-
lowing:
Resolred, That the organization Of any poll icsl
party holding all its deliberations in secret and 10
cepostng their votes for officers of State National
Government 10 dictated by some remote or central
power, and being thus compelled to vote under pains
and penalties is yielding to the yees despotsm, and
is entirely antiAmericGn, in the fullest sense Of the
word and is highly dangerous to civil and religious
liberty.
Rtsoiped That the construction recently given by
the "Know- Nothngs so called, that the oatn or oo-
legation taken by their members IS superior TO- ana III
mere binoing force than the oath OF public officer
taken when entering upon the duties OF his office, IS
Of most dangerous tendency, and should be indig-
nanily rebudiaied by all good citizens
AZ MI Wells has always been wing, ana oew'
ard Wing, and was so nominated; and as the Know
Nothngs voted that they would not adopt him as ther
candidate his supporters were at loss to know how
they could call hi traitor and az the citizens felt
such proceeding to be difgrace upon the village
