shall, - in this case, lose NO passing sppor-
tunity to hold up to tho public case all cases
which, (as this doss,) afford an illustration OF
the embarrassment to the legitimate lsgisla-

ONE OF THE KNow.NoTHNG PRESS.
Es SPEAKING OUT.--The Frankfort
(Ky.) Commonwealth, one of the
organs Of the Southern Know-Noth-
ings, thus speaks out in reference
to the convention of it's kindred at
Cincinnati. Will not other presses
in this latitude follow suit, and show
the world that they are determined
to scorn all association with men
who are secretly plotting our dis
grace and ruin:
"And first and principally, we have
to say that the change they propose
in the national platform is utterly
inadmissable, and to expect that it
will be made is folly. The restora.
ton of the Missouri Compromise
Restriction is altogether impractical.
BILE, and the exclusion of any State
from the Union because her people
have consulted their own judgment
and wishes in modelling their domes-
tic institutions, and have permitted
slavery, would be monstrous."
Fayetteville observer. [volume] (Fayetteville, Tenn.) 1850-1966, 1855-12-27
TOO TRUE.

The Democratic press in every por-
ton of the country, by all fair and
honorable means, have endeavored to
impress upon the minds of the Know
Nothings of the South that their par
ty North were thoroughly abolition
lied, and to preserve their property
and their individual rights, they could
only rely upon the Democracy.
Read here the corroborating testi-
mony of your own Organ. The
Know Nothing Organ, published at
Washington, says:
ave believe that all the councils
in the Northern and Northwestern
States have repudiated the Philadel-
phia Platform, etc."
The Richmond Wing, Know Moth
ingo thus comments upon the state
ment of the Organ:
off however, it is true, as the Or
gan says, that the American party in
the Northernand Northwestern States
have repudiated the Philadelphia
Platform, then the South should repu-
date them, and all who sustain them"

SINGULAR MATRIMONIAL FORTUNE.
The Boston Evening Gazette tells
the story of a citizen Of Boston who
went to California, leaving a wife be.
hind him. After year he went to
the mines, and his wife received no
letter from him for year, hearing
during the time, that he was dead.
She had an offer to marry again, and
accepted, but her second husband
died in a few months after marriage.
A few Gays since she was surprised
by the return Of her first husband,
and upon the proper explanations
being made, they went to live to-
gether again, much to the scandel of
their immediate friends, who, as
the Gazette charges upon rumor, are
about to enter a complaint of bigamy
against the lady. The question is,
is the man the husband Of his own
wife without marrying her over a.
gain?

made speech to the "Americans"

defended his course in Congress, and
assailed in severe terms the admins

TIE SPEAkERSHlP.

Up to the latest dates, the U. S.
House of Representatives had not or
gained. The abolitionists we're still
voting for Banks, the National Know
Nothings GA only in number) for
Fuller, and the National Democrats
and 6 wings voting for Richardson, a
fugitive slave bill and Nebraska De-
mocrat.
Before Congress met, the Know
Nothings claimed to have elected l23
members-now, they all turn out to
be abolitionists or freesoilers-34 only
excepted! The strength of the Ma
tional Know Nothings only "a, almost
all from the South! What sort of a
showing is this for national party?
Only 81 members in Congress! Its
members elected from the North turn
ing out to be abolitionists!
OF Richardson's vote, about one
half is from the North-national men.
He gets more National Democrats
from the North alone, than the Know
Nothings have altogether!
In 1889, there was an animated
contest for Speaker, and it was three
weeks after meeting before an organ
ization was efected-R.M. 7. Hunter,
of Virginia, being finally elected as
a compromise. The New Jersey con-
tested election case caused the contest.
In 1S49, there was another long
contest for Speaker--some Southern
Wings refusing to vote for Mr.. Win
throp. On the 22d December, as a
compromise, Howell Cobb, of Georgia,
was elected, and gave general salts.

The Washington correspondent of
the Charleston Courier says:--"The

structed so as to omit the names of
the fusionists. The tendency of
things is towards new division of
Iparties-national and sectional-and
of these, the national party will be
infinitely the strongest

CONGRESS-.

In speaking of the contest for the
Speakership in Congress, the Pitts
burg Chronicle says that the South
en know nothings will most likely fall
back into the ranks of the Democra-
cy rather than unite with the free
sellers of the North, and this will at
once fritter away the last semblance
of former parties, and force into two
parties, each with a platform which
they call national; the one contending
that the great object Of the Govern
ment was to establish justice and
promote freedom, the other, that its
principal mission is to extend and sup
port slavery; and adds:
1t remains for the people to de-
eide, at the next Presidential cleo
tion,wbich principle is right and whose
construction is to govern. No phi
losophy can parry off the question;
it is connected with our destiny, and
we must settle it. If we have wis
dom and forbearance sufficient we
may yet continue as an example to
the nations of selfgoyernment, and
republican prosperity.
There never was a time when the
prudent counsels of our Wisest states
men were more needed than now, nor
when their advice should De more
needed. The hopes of the prudent
of all parties are turned to those dis
tinguished men who have acquired a
reputation for conservatism and sound
nationality, and woe be to the coun-
try if they fail the people in the last
extremity. They must devise some
plan to arrest the impending storm,
by allaying the eternal sectional strife
and turmoil which is continually
threatening a dissolution of the con-
Ifederacy, The present is no time for
them to repose upon their laurels of
distinction, but they should be up and
doing, exerting their influence in be-
half of a restoration of peace and
universal brotherhood, and bringing it
to bear upon the contending elements
which loom up so portentiously in the
political horizon. They owe this SER
vice to the country which has hon
ored them, and now when they are
called upon to discharge the obliga-
ton they should not be found bank
rupt.

The Know NoTHINGs IN Iowa.
The Grand Know Nothing Council Of
Iowa, says the New York Tribune,
held session at Iowa City, on the Sth
ult., and adopted resolution COM
mending in the strongest terms the
action of their delegates in seeding
from the Philadelphia Council. They
also adopted resolutions declaring sla-
very or freedom to be the paramount
issue before the American people, and
announcing determination to resist
to the bitter end the aggressions of
the slave power, in whatever form they
may manifest themselves.
