KNOW NOTHING MevExENTs.-The Know No
things in several States are dividing off into
several cliques and coteries. In New York
there are three factions: LIST, Barker's parry,
called Hjndoes; I'd, the Allen party called
Originals Sd, the Utica organization, called
bogus OF Seward Know Nothings. In Massa-
cbnsetts, New Hampshire and New Jersey there
are two factions in each. All this is weaken
ing. Unless they unite in each State, and then
in all the States, they will be demolished by
the ragged democracy.

Time has been the all-absorbing subject Of
discussion in sporting circles came Of over
The Metairie course, New Orleans. on the

thousands were present to witness it. The
stake was twenty thousand dollars-the time

ing Lecontes time. the best on record,

following particulars Of the race. Le1in.g-

This. says the Louisville Journal, sis
confession of a leading Southern enemy of
the Know Nothings. that they have agreed
at the North to suppress the fanasicism OF
freesoilism-tha. they have subjected them
selves to being charged by their Northern
opponents with having agreed to ignore the
slavery question. Whilst the greater part
of the Southern anti-Know Nothing organs
violently accuse the Northern Know Moth
iugs of being an Abolition party in or cut
of disguise. this leading Southern anti-Know
Nothing organ distinctly recognizes and sets
forth the fact that the Northern Know No
things, at the imminent hazard of their own
future prospects. have banded together to
put stop in that section to the mischievous
and portentous slavery agitation Unques-
s;onably the Northern Know Nothings. what

REPUBLICAN MOVEMENT IN CANADA
Though attached by the strongest prejudices
of national ties to the mother country, as
the British portion of the population Of
Canada has been for long period, there
has yet been gathering during the past ten
or fifteen years 4 sentiment among the peo-
pie. savoring of republicanisrn, that cannot
be concealed, and is at length avowed in
open parliament. to the extent Of making
the Legislative Council elective, the mem
bers Of which are now appointed for life.
and TO the taking away from the members
of the Commons all property qualification.
An effort is also making to apply the elect
i've principle 10 the Govefnor-General, ,Ju'
dietary, and Magistrates. On the 29th
nit the second reading of the bill introduc-
ing the elective principle into the Second
Branch of the Legislature was carried in
the Canadian Assembly by vote of 50
against 4. The measure is regarded as
step towards the election of Governor, and
consequently was mainly supported by the
annexation party. IN. o. Bulletin

"A SENSIBLE IDEA.-:There was one
point in Judge Harris charge to the grand
jury on Monday last, that We thought quite
worthy OF consid GRAFTON and the idea which
he advanced, was, that just so soon as the
courts Of the country treat offenders against
the law in such manner as to render it
honorable for the injured citizen to come
into court of justice TO seek redress for
injuries inflicted, or attempted to be infict-
ed upon his honor or reputation. just that
soon will they do away with the apparent
necessity that now impeis him TO seek to
avenge his own cause, without resort to
the legal tribunals Of his country. 1t is a
miserably perverted and vitiated state OF
public opinion that sets it down as a mark
of pusilanimity. for man who has been in
jured by another, to go into a court of jus
tice to seek redress, instead of taking pis-
tol and blowing out the brains Of his antag-
onist, and yet that state Of public opinion
does exist to great extent in our State. -
