KNOW NOTHINGISM AND THE MAJORITY PRINCl
PIE.

The defeat of the knownohings the recent municipal
election in San Francisco has been the of many
complaints and few threats the part of the
ognised organs of the order The San Francisco Citizen
says:
The disgracefu outrages that have burned deep
the every American ctizenresdent of San Fran
cisco will be amply revenged in the next State contest 1t
cannot fail the pentup spirit every American and
they will be found in the ranks battling with determined

cause and if need be- to rid at and forever from

the community whose uanies have produced these results
AS the know-nothngs have shown fierce and unreent
ing disposition rampe upon the constitutional rights of
religious minority, we are all surprised that they
should evnce such disgust and hatred for the majority prn
cpe as expressed through medium of the ballobox If
the threat contained in the above extract from the Citizen
means anything it means that old-lne wings, well
democrats be knitted, shot down. otherwise
summarly disposed of if they attempt to outvote the
know nothings at the next State election in California
Notwithstanding these nsolent yet childish threats we be-
lieve that the enemies of know-nohingsm will not be de-
tered from going the polls in October next and that
the disgraceul outrage which have been recently
perperaed in Virginia. in louisiana in Illinois, in Indiana,
in New York. and in Connecticut will be repeated with equal
if not greater Significance in California In the eyes Of
knownothingism the majority principle is regarded as
zone OF the corrupons of the old parties which must be
put down at all hazards to the sacrifice of life limb
and property In the anticipation Of defeat or smarting
under the humiliation of stern ebuke from the ballot
boxes we have all what atrocous extent the
Wild mad excuses of know-nothingism be carried

cinnat and in other parts Of the country still fresh in
the remembrance of the people, and among the princi
pal of that aspreadng revolution of which the
glorious Old Dominion was the herald and precursor.
Not only will the "disgracel outrage of slencng know
nothngism by the baotbox be repeated in California but
it will be repeated in North Carolina Georgia. Alabama,
Mississippi Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky Texas and
Arkansas until the enemies of God, the constitution and
the country without name, locality, or an abiding

CA correspondent mentions that pad
dy"was suspended IN Port Deposit on the
night of st. Patrick day. Considering the
number of Irishnen there at present, by
whom the patron Saint of their country is
held in as high vencration as Washington is
with us-hishcr indeed in his double char
acter of patriot and saint-it is surprising that
it did not lead to serious disturbance. The
hanging up of such an effigy must have been
cause of regret to the more steady portion
of the citizens of Port. That is wrong
spirit which dictates such annoyanccs to any
people, whatever, and it must have been very
young and thoushtless persons, whose Sec
ond thought would condemn it, or perhaps
foreigners differing in sentiment from the
friend of st. Patrick who hung up the image
so offensive to the SONS of Erin.

The exemplary department and amiahlc

the esteem and affection of all his acquain-

50 quiet and retired had been his course Of
life that to his immediate family and rcla-
tivcs. only. were known the many virtues
that adorned him from his youth. Kind to
all offensive to none-hs hand was ever
open to the claims of suffering humanity.
whilst his heart seemed to prompt him to do
good to every one.
He was not only worthy citizcn--he was
meek aud humble christian-and this en-
abled linn to resign himself to Gods will and
leave the world in peace. To the interests
OF the Episcopal Church, OF which he died n
vcstryman and COMMUNICATE, and on the SER
vices Of which he regularly attei dcd, he was
conscentiously attached; and zcalously de-
voted. The purity Of his life and the COM
fort of a reasonable, religious and holy hope
in his death. afford abundant consolation 10
his numerous friends.

PORT DEPOSIT, March 22d, So.
Mr.. EDITOR :-Evcrything about town is
life-like and cheering. The shrill whistle of
the various steamboats, salutes our ears and
already the cranes are in operation, loading
for other parts, the beautiful granite from our
hills. Various houses are being erected be-
tween here and Rock Run preparatory to
moving day which is now rapidly approach
ing. Lumber has commenced coming down
the river, which of course will bring hosts Of
cnterprlsing Spectators to town.
We had. short time since, an exhibition
among our Irish quarrymen of their peculiar
kindness TO one of their deceased brothers
Having left none of this worlds goods with
which to pay for his intcrmcnt, his employer
very kindly furnished his friends with the
required means, but they instead of aoplyi &
1T for what it was appropriated, spent it for
sperm candies and whiskcy, while the under
takcr was directed to look to the county for
pay. Such is the force of their education.

the ardent not TO be respectable: and that he
has determined not to fill his Golfers with the
