lsihir-Rilcning.

In his speech, before the Democratic AsSoela-
ton on Saturday night last, Col. Hartman de-
nounced the Kuow-Nothings in severe terms, be-
cause in the Massachusetts, Legislature they
voted for Theodore Parker, as Chapain-a man
who had participated in the infamous act of burn
inc the Constitu ton of the United States and
the Holy Bible. The Colonel was emphatlcally
indignant when he mentioned the burning OF the
Bible. Now, if the Know Nothings were 50
culpable in voting for a man who burned one b-
BILE. with what consistency can the Colonel blame
them for declining to vote for Catholics who are
opposed to the circulation of the Scriptures, and
who have burned thousands upon thousands OF
copies of that sacred voume2
When the speaker alluded to this bible-burn-
ing operation, the ''rich Irish broguo" and the
"sweet German accent" were plainly distinguish
able amidst the applause. Whethe these mani
fes,ations of appreciation were intended for the
orator, or for Theodore Parker, we shall not pre-
tend TO decide. If the former, it was certainly "a
novelty to see the followers of the Pope and the
Priests, so seriously exercised over the burning of
n sinrle bibLsl
