SIGNIFICANT CONFESSIONS.

Gov Nei s. Brown of Tennessee, is making himself
conspicuous as itneran missionary in the
Of klow-nothngism He seems to be the avorite leader
in opening the ratification meetings being held as the
sequels The Philadelphia council In his address at New
York he reported in Of his nothing organs as
follows:
Governor Brown, in the of his speech, said the
present administration seemed to have but little
but to decapitae the members of the order
head falls off hundreds brought into the party. Know
nothingsm he said political necessity, caused by the
corruptous of the old parties Who is Sam He is the
spirit Of l76 nursed by the East by the shepherd
OF the West and approaching the ulness of manhood
We quote the foregoing not much to comment upon
the remark of Gov Brown to the decapitaon Of the
members of the order by the administration as to notice
the significant confessions contains II will be gratify-
ing to all good democrats see that the administration
has so just appreciation of the dement's of
ingism We can them that although the members
Of the administration have abundance work to do in the
ordinary business of their departments they will always
find time to make such dccapitaons gross depar-
from democratic fcaty belonging the order inn
plies may make necessary.
Governor Brown regards know -nothngism as "a political
necessity caused by the corruptons of the old parties lie

whgswho have often listened to his glowing euoQes
whiggery when he described having the excel
ences and projections that he attributes know
nothngsm win be apt TO ahate somewhat their confidence
IN the reliability of his political Judgment
The other confession OF Governor Brown that know
nothngism was nursed by the Eas,-which means we
suppose that il had its birth and its early training in the
hotbed Of eastern aboIitonsm That the origin which
democrats assign to the order and they are under
obligations TO the distinguished missionary for confirming
their position The fact that was nursed
by the East win hardly be much OF to

have heretofore conded in Governor Brown as an oracle
Of whggey may know how appreciate his present eulo
gies on know-nothingism.
