They did, then, put to a cruel death,
those who were not aggressors, and this
by no process of law, but by mob vio-
lence-by the sharp fame, the sitting
smoke, and the swift bullet. They are
murderers, therefore, in the strict sense
of the term, and the blood of the victims
cries to Heaven for vengeance at the
hands of just God, from whom alone
they can receive redress. The authorities
of Louisville are Know Nothings. In
their official capacity, and particularly
with the knowledge they had of wide
spread excitement in the city, they were
bound to preserve order and protect the
lives of the citizens. How they COM
piled with their duty, the above mention
ed facts will show. They were as if they
were not; nay, they positively allotted
the rioters, and to their inefficiency and
misconduct the sad results are justly at
tributable. The effort, also, of the I'm
ion party to contribute to the preserva-
ton Of peace, by the appointment of two
respectable citizens from each ward, for
this end, one of each party, was rejected.
Why? Because the thing was concocted
in their lodges, and the "oh, oh's' and
slips of "red paper" all over the city,
attested the fact. On these counts, also,
lay we murder at their door.
Just men, honest citizens of every creed
and party, we appeal to you. Shall this
system be followed up? Shall oft repeated
acts of mob violence introduce amongst us
anarchy, whose swayis by bad passions and
deeds of cruelty? Are you not alarmed
almost as much by the absence, through
out the land, of honest indignation against
the murderers, as their very deeds them
selves? Why does the might of public
opinion slumber? Where is It's crushing
sentence upon the perpetrators of deeds
so foul, so disgraceful, so lamentable !?
Shall no burst of general censure teach
the guilty the extent of their crime, and
save the country, in future, a repetition
of such scenes? We trust this is the end
of Understanding in the cause of party;
whilst we rejoice that we have no associ-
alton by sympathy or otherwise, with
that particular party, certain members of
which tried to serve, even by imbruing
their hands in innocent blood.

Know Nothing Candor.

We have, in another column, publish
ed reliable expose of the organization
and oaths of the Know Nothing Order,
and we now earnestly invite the atten-
ton of all fair and candid men to the
resolutions passed at a Know Nothing
Mass Meeting recently held in Clarks-
burg, and especially to that in which il
is
"Resotccd, That we are the friends
of religious, as well as civil liberty. and
that we are opposed to any political pro-
scription for religious faith, either as tc
the right of voting or holding office"
Again, the same resolutions adopt the
Philadelphia platform as their political
guide, the Sth resolution of which is d
direct attack, and Misrepresentation of,
our Catholic fellow-citizens. 1t is ia
these words:
~ Resistance to the aggressive po-
LEY and corrupting tendencies of The
Roman Catholic Church in our countr,
by the advancement to all political sta
ns-executiye, Legislative, judicial OF
diplomatic--of those only who do not
hold civil allegiance, directly or indirect
ly, to any foreign power whether civil
or ecclesiastical, and who are Americans
by birth, education and training: thus
fulfilling the maxim, americans oala
shall goce,p dmerica"

Our TICKET ABRoAD.-The last num-
Der of the Marlboro Planters Advo-
cate" whose editor is familiar with the
state of affairs in our county, refers in
the following just and complimentary
language to our candidates
"A full County Ticket was nominat-
ed, composed of Wings and Democrats,
the only political qualification consider
ed being an earnest opposition to the
doctrines Of the new faction. The tick
ct is a strong one, and as respectable in
every point Of view, as was ever put be-
fore the people of Montgomery. The
nomination of such men as DR.. VASE
lNGToN DUyALL and DIR. CHARLES A.
HARDING for the House of Delegates.
and w. VEIRs BouIc, Esq. for States
Attorney, gives evidence that some of
the best citizens and strongest men in
the county are thoroughly enlisted in
the conservative ranks. The conyen-
ton also passed resolutions in favor of
Gen. Thomas +. BOWIE, of this place,
as the Union candidate for congress, and
of Maj. GEO. PETER, of Montgomery,
for Commissioner of Public Works
both of which latter nominations receive
the warmest approval here. Maj. Pr
TER is gentleman of great popularity
and Is in every respectworthy Of that gem
eral support which he will no doubt receive
from the conservatives Of this district.
Gen. BowIE's name appears to be re-
ceived with much enthusiasm, in each
OF the counties, as the candidate for Con-
gress, on the part of the Anti-Know
Nothings, and no doubt appears to be
entertained that he could unite the whole
strength ofall conservative men,"

DORCHESTER CouNTY.-We learn that

The perusal of this extract will serve
to show every honest man what sincerity
there is in the professions ofKnow Moth
ings, of veneration aad admiration for
the memory, the example, and tho pre-

the patriot still living, he would, in all
probability, be stigmatized by these ex-
elusive simon pure " Americeas," as an
1ntt-American' for presuming to give
utterance to such sentiments. But why
should the name of 1nacrican be dis
graced by connection with an association,
whose principles are so repugnant to the
feelings and Judgment of every honest
hearted American citizen? No, let
them always be known by their own true
and well earned name of " K,iow Moth

A name very Suggestive of the aims, the

party. We shallnever be guilty of parti-
cipating in the disguwe Of recognizing
their title to the name of american.

Apropos to our editorial on the " Lou
isyille Tragedy" we insert the two fol-
lowing extracts from the Washington
Star, to show the identity of purpose,
plan and rorling Of the X. N. party all
over the Union. Read, and renetl
We have heard that on one occasion it
was grayely proposed and considered in
one Of the lodges of Washington, to take
forcible possession Of the government ar
senal here, and that on another occasion
in one Of the lodges a resolution was in
troduced to appoint a committee to burn
down the Catholis churches Of the feder-
al metropolis; and further, that func-
tionary Of the corporation Of Washington
offered himself to lead the proposed. COM
mittee in this work Of arson, so cfarac-
teristicaily Know Notbingish. As
matter Of course, this statement will be
denied by every Know Nothing in Wash
ington, for they are all sworn to make
such dcnlals when 50 to DO will serve the
purposes Of g the order"
We live in strange times indeed-in
times that deyelope. the fact we live over
mines in the breasts Of large portion Of
the community, many Of whom, though
protesting a degree Of sclf-righteousncss,
under which they claim more respect for
themselves as Christians than the twelve,
Apostles asked at the hands of those by
whom they were surrounded, countcn-
ancc the preparation Of murder and ar
son, and the entire subversion Of society
by their chosen Instruments, as con-
ycnient way Of carrying elections when
they do not happen to be strong enough
to ont-yetc their opponents. There Is
indeed, food for earnest reflection in all
this.
As anti-American, criminal, and dag
tardly as such conduct was it was but in
literal fulfilment Of the oath-bound obi
cations which all members Of Know No
