Be Honorable Men.

| Be Honorable Men.
As the canvass approaches, the secret meet
ings Of the Know Nothngs grow more nu-
merous, and the busy workers among them are
laying their plans for the campaign. Tuesday
evening last number of the gentry were in
our town for that purpose. We mention this
fact for the purpose of showing the democrats
of this county that if they conquer this fall
they will have to be vigilant and active until
the very close of next election day. You
have no longer great party openly warning
against you, headed by intellectual and chiv-
alrous men, like Clay and Webster, but con-
clave. whose every act and scheme is secret.
Fearing the broad light of day, and the pub
lie Judgment of free people, they meet in
some secret place, hid from public gaze, con-
ceive and mature their plans for political
ends.
We have said heretofore that large major
ity who compose this organization were until
recently members of the whig party Tis
true! At the same time, we are sorry to say,
there are some democrats who have been led
away by this secret organization; and to them
we have few words of advice to give. If
you still believe in the principles of the DEM
ocratic party, come ont from among the Know
Nothings, and remain steadfast to your old
and we'll tried faith. But. if you are deter
mined to act with them, we ask you as honor
able men not to act the Judas by taking part
in democratic conventions. and then secretly
stab the democratic party to the heart by vo-
ting the Know-Nothing ticket, and thus giving
the lie to your public acts and professions.
Have some respect for your dignity as men
"Act we'll your part, there all the honor lies;"
and let that part be on one side or the other
If certain wings of the Know-Nothing stamp
choose to pack whig conventions and thus
overslaugh their former political companions
let them do so, but your line of duty is en-
tirely different. No man can occupy two po-
sitions-act with two political parties at the
same time, and be right for ON election day
the other. In one he must believe, if capable
Of Judging between right and wrong, and the
other he must condemn in his own mind; there
fore, let every democrat who has entangled
himself with the KnowNothings, decide upon
what course he will pursue, and when that de-
cision is made, let that course be open and
honorable. and never let it be said of you that
you lied, deceived, and betrayed, in order to
gain your political ends,-to defeat the prin-
cples you have professed lifetime, and be-
trayed party whose earnest patriotism and
love of country is stamped upon every page
Of American history.
This is our advice to every democrat who
has seen fit to wander from the democratic
fold; and no one who is inclined to act right
can gainsay it's correctness.
