FROM NEW-ORLEANS.

ORLEANS, wednesday, May 81 1855.
We have grand row and runpus in the
Know. Nothing camp. The party are divided
and two sets of delegates have been elected for
the National Convention which is to meet in
Philadelphia On the 9th of June.
The Order as originally organized in this city
resolved TO admit Catholics, and so changed the
ritual as to permit the Creolcs (who are all
Csihoics) TO come into the ranks, as without
the assistance of the downtown voters there was
not the most remote prospect OF success. a large
number of Creoles embraced the ialth and became
devoted members of the new Order good share
NJ the spoils was allotted to what may be called
Mis- foreipn branch Of the Order, and they have
worked well in harness. All of the old Wing lead
ers and party.hacks joined the new Order, and

the delegation from this State, but they were al
mitted. having pledged themselves to work right
on their return TO this city, and to require all OF
