ANOTHER CHEAT!

IyTbe Executive Committee of the Know
Nothings of Philadelphia have published an adj
dress to their followers with the express view
and design of deceiUing them as to the result Of
the recent election in that city, which, OF course,
will find its way into all the papers ofthat stripe
in the State. To prove the fraud and deceP-
ton thus attempted, we invite the attention OF
all rational men to the following extract from
an article in the Daily News, of last Saturday,
one of the most unscrupulous POLLOCK pa
psrs in the Commonwealth, in which the edl-
tor most unqualfedIy denies that the k. rs
Ntrumphed single-handed over all opposition,
and boldly asserts that every honest man IN that
community knows the fact to be otherwise
The News saws il is at a loss TO conceive the
MOTIVE which induced the publication Of such
an OUTRAGE upon thu feelings of those
10 whose aid the K. Ms are indebted for the re-
suit, such as it was. But we let the News
speak for itself
at is, however, due to the cause Of truth, as
we'll as the large body of Wings who cordially
united with the Americans, aud without whose
cooperation the triumph could not have been
achieved, to state, as matter of fact, that the
Committee are rot justified in Proclaiming to
their brethren throughout the United States,
| that the Americans ''triumphed single-handed
over the foreign and the united efforts Of the
| Whig and Democratic parties" The truth OF
history is disregarded BY them, in saying that
sin 1865, the Wings, as party, rerndlated all
connection with the Americans" and united
| with the Democrats"
1t is with pain and regret that we make these
contradictions, and we are induced to do so, sole
iy, by sense of duty to the large number Of
| Wings who contributed to achieve the triumph
and from full conviction that the American
cause is much more likely to be injured than
benefited by statements such as are made by the
| Committee So far from their being in accor-
dance with facts, the reverse would approximate
much nearer the truth. We admit, portion
of the Wings did fuse with the Democrats; but
it is not true that ssthe Wings, as party," did
So The regular Whig Convention, the mem
bprs of which were elected in the respective
| Wards under the rules and regulations OF the
| Wing party, nominated Messrs. Morton and
| Hill as the candidates of The Wing party, anc
| they were supported as such by ''the Wings, as
a party" An inconsderable number Of The
members of that Convention, only about one
/ fifth Of The whole Convention, it is true, with
drew from it. :srcpudiated all connection with
! the Americans and subsequently, along with
others of like feelings and sentiments 'unitec
/ with the Democrats" This much is true, but i
| is not true, as the Committee state, that tht
/ Wings, as party, thus acted.
A political organization is never in greater
/ danger than when IFS members feel it 10 be Suti
! cently strong TO be satisfied that they can dc
injustice and perpetrate wrong with lmpunity
/ Let those who made the statements, which W.
have contradicted, beware that they do not thu
endanger the American cause"
