A Good Hit.

At the festival in New York, in honor to Hen. ry Clay's birthday, the Rev. Sam Osgood made the speech on the occasion, in which he raked the secret-oath- bound order of know-nothinp. ism in the following style:
 But in saying that we go for American citi- zenship, we do not mean to denounce any man. An American is a man who believes in Ame- rican ideas no matter what his birth place may have been, and am one who welcomes to our shores every person who is lover of our liber- ty and our laws. (Cheers.) 1 can never con- sent to try to piece out the wings of our noble old eagle by any black feathers from the night raven of Jesuitism. Tremendous cheering. ) American citizenship fair play, no kind of se- crecy, no fighting Jesuitism by Jesuitism, but an open field and fair play, and our star-span- gled banner for our standard. (Renewed cheer ing.) Ourgreat orator believed in making Anne rica power of our own.

An Unfortunate Occurrence

On Saturday last our city was thrown into the deepest gloom by the death of young Da- vid J. Walker, son of Dr. James H. Walker of Hampstead county. His body was found on the rlver bank in the rear of the State House. He had discharged pistol in his hand. Amin quest was held over the body and the verdict was that he came to his death from pistol in his own hands.
 Mr. Walker was young man of the highest promise-amable in his disposition, temperate in his habits, and laborious in his application to the legal profession, he had the farest prospects of success. With an affectionate father, a host of friends, and wealth almost unlimited, he seemed to want nothing to complete his earth iy happiness. His death spread deep sadness over our community.

One barrel of hard cider made on the farm of Harrison in the same wear One battle ground stick cut from the field of Tippecanoe, about the same period, which has been in the possession of many eminent whig politicians from that day to the present.

Galveston and Red River R. R.

In relation to the Galveston and Red river railroad, running from Galveston to Fulton, on Red river, the Texas Telegraph says, the mail this morning brings the highly important intel ligence that the contract for the first 25 miles of the Galveston and Red River road, (hence to Cypress creek) has been let to Mr. J. H. Welles of the firm of J. H. Welles & Co.,, of the city of New York. This gentleman is not only man of wealth, but heavy and successful contrac. tor, having built most of the New York and Erie road, and is now engaged in the construc- ton of the Delaware, Lockawana and Vest ern," and "the Brunswick road through Geor- gia. The agents assure the company that this section will be completed and in running or der by the 2Oth of October, though the con- tract calls for the 20th of January, next. Mr.. Welles is expected to reach this city by the next steamer from New Orleans. This contract for 25 miles was let by the agents of the com- pany, in lieu of one for 70 miles rendered the company, the terms of which it was equal ly within the power of the company to comply with, but the former gives the company more certain control of the road, and enables it to let cut the remaining 45 miles on better terms and at great saving to the stockholders
 With a railroad under contract and in course of construction from Fulton to Galveston bay, and with the Illinois Central railroad complete from Cairo to the lakes, the Cairo and Fulton railroad is the only remaining link to complete the connection between the northern lakes and the Gulf of Mexico-the greatest railroad in the known world!
 Let the predictions of croakers be what they may, even without the grant of lands, the Cairo and Fulton Railroad will be built, and it will ever be monument to the wisdom of its pro- jectors and friends.

The Origin and objects of Know
 Nothingis1u.

The Louisville Journal tells us very plainly the origin and purposes of the Know Nothing party. The Journal is strong advocate of it's cause. It opposes the nomination of whig ticket in Kentucky, and comments the Know Nothing candidates to the support of the whig party. In fact the whig party is every where in the Union merged in Know Nottingham We hear of democratic nominations and Know Nothing nominations, of democratic victories and Know Nothing triumphs, but we never hear of the whig party. In Virginia, the whgs have no ticket; they have none in Kentucky, and they will have none in Tennessee. In these two latter States, the whig party are con- sidered to be in the ascendant, and yet they have surrendered the field to the Know Noth- ings and all the whig papers have openly es- poused the cause of the Know Nothing candi. dates. If any better evidence than this is need ed that the whigs are the Know Nothings, the following from the Louisville Journal we think. will be sufficient:
 The whig party was prostrate under the con- 5. the rights of property and person rested for se- curity on no better basis than the capricious will of these two m.st uncertain and unsafe Repositories of political power. This feeling of the want of some organization able to cope with the combined powers of foreign and native ra- dicals, gave birth to the American party.
 A candid confession! The defeats of the whig party by the "locofocos" and nothing else, "gave birth to the American party!" It was not pure and disnterested spirit of pa- triotism-it was not any impending crisis in the affairs of the Republic, that brought the Know Nothing party into existence. It was the de- sire of the whigs to possess once more the spells of office, and their knowledge that under the name of whigs they are too we'll known to suc- ceed, that "gave birth to the Know Nothing party"
 The best evidence of its whig origin is the mystery in which it is clothed. The people are ignorant of its nature and its objects Eve ry movement is planned and executed at the dead hour of midnight Even its members are unknown. There is no responsibility. When any wrong is perpetrated upon the country the people are ignorant of the offenders. They do not know whom to hold responsible. The cre- atlon of the Know Nothing party is directly opposed to and subversive of the representative principle in the constitution.
 In this State, with but a few exceptions, the Know Nothing party are composed of whigs.. There are many whigs, it is true, who, detest-. ing the clandestine character of the party. have held themselves aloof from its organization But few democrats are members. It is whig party in disguise-it is nothing more than an- other and the last whig dodge.

The Test of Democracy.

According to the Shield, the Little Rock Gazette, edited by c. c. Dadley is an advocatc cf kmo,o nothingisna. Slch may or may not be the case, and it is for the editor of the Gazette to define his position in this behalf, which, of course, he will not decline to do.
 But, whatever may be the course of the Gu- zette, no good democrat can or will favor whig- gery and abolitionism under their last, or any other disguise; and the protesting democrat who fails to oppose the know nothings, thereby proclaims himself an ignoramus or a rene- gade
 Some members of the last Legislature, by their vote to expunge MT. Macon's resolutions, and their refusal to allow his protest to be spread on the journals, ignored the issue be- tween the humbug order and the democracy Since that time the fact has so plainly develop ed itself that even they-through show of faith must see and confess the truth, and there- by admit that they committed an egregous wrong in voting as above stated
 About the same time, it was not an uncom- mon thing to hear democrats of the rank and file expressing doubt as to the anti-democratic nature and intent of the so called "American movement" At this date, however, there can be none to hesitate about the matter. In every State where know nottingham has triumphed, democracy has suffered defeat and whiggery achieved a victory. This settles the question, and makes active and uncompromsing opposi- tion to the know nothings an established test Of denaocracu

The ends of Know Nothineism.

The people have asked in vain, what will he the policy of the know nothings should they succeed. With the exception of their eager hankerlng after the "spols" and their proscrip- tlon of foreigners and Catholicism violation of the sacred American principle of religious free dom and civil equality--they have not dared to to avow any governmental policy whatever.- They insult the public intelligence by asking the support of the people, while they avow no measures for the management of the great des- tlnics of the confederacy. They treat the masses as fools, lsnoramuses, perfect k1ao,o notainqs when they expect them to follow blindly the orders of the leaders, secretely instructed to carry out the machinations of the midnight councils Even the New York Herald, the great know nothing organ, is forced to ask. What are their principles and purposes as a great national organization?" It calls for light and, in answering its own question, draws the following damning picture of the secret order: They ara as mysterious and inexplicablea as the future destlnies fthe order The party them selves, Tn this respect, are veritable know noth- lngs. Look, for instance, at Massachusetts, There they have absolute and undsputed pos session of the government; yet there they have favored us recently with some of the most abo- mainable legislative developments of tanaticasna, treason aud andecercy-treasoa to tue constitution. and indecent outrages against private r,qhts and pubic morality. In New York, again, we find a portion of the know nothings asdinq s,a Sew, ards reelection and aiding in the passage of the new liquor law of pains and penalties, which is destined to produce more disastrous revulsion in the business affairs of this community than all our Schuyler frauds and bank commer- cial failures of the last ten years. There are already two or three branches ofthis know noth- ing movement in this State, two or three in Massachusetts, and similar symptoms of divis- ion and discord are not wanting in other States. How all these discrepancies are to be harmo- nized, is the inexplcable mystery of which we speak"
