That Mount Pisgah Effort.

The Louisville Journal of Wednesday con-
tains scorching review of the letter of Aaron
the son of a sainted father" to the Bishops
of the Methodist Church. We extract the
closing paragraphs:
Aaron furthermore saith unto the Methodist
Know Nothings that they eOnsprdtOrs. He says,
:" the offcnse OF conspiracy is not confined to the
prejudicing of particular individual; it may be to
njure public trade, TO affect public health, or to
violate public policy" He cites New York, Massa
chusetts, New Jersey, Virginia, Alabama, and
English law books to prove what is the law Of
spiTdcy. The result of all this parade is summed
up in the following citation: 1.-THE gist of tie of.
fence of conspiracy consists in confederacy 10 do
unt0utta aet and the offence is complete when
the coniederacy is made This doubtless is sound
law. If it is all unlawful act for men to resolve,
or swear, II you please, that they will not vote for
foreigners and Catholics for public Office then the
is made out. 1t strikes that this conspiracy
business is very much like the principle in natural
philosophy that faction and reaction are equal and
opposite to each other" If the Know Nothings
have conspired against the Sag NIGHTS so have the
Sag NIGHTS conspired against the Know Nothings.
They have each resolved not to vote for the other
for public office. mans vote is his own, and is
disposable by none other than himself. IL is as
sacred aud involable as the freedom of thought,
speech, or conscience. 1t is the uncomfortable
privilege Of every voter in this free country to vote
for or against any person or any thing that may be
presented for his suffrage and in exercising this
privilege he violates no law and nfringes on ones
rights; and OK course he cannot thereby become
conspirator.
If Aaron is correct in laying down the law, what
body OF conspirators the Democrats have always
been. For nearly thirty years they have conspired
to keep Wings out Of office; and, in consequence
of this conspiracy, Wings have failed to get deal
Of money, which they would have received as the
euoluments of Office if they had been elected. In
Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri Illinois, and Pennsyl-
vania, these conspra:ors have been particularly en-
ergetic and persistent, very much to the inconve.
nence and injury of the Wings of those States.
Perhaps it will be well for the Wings who have
been candidates for Office in those States, and lost
their election, to have the conspirators punished
and TO employ the learned Aaron to conduct the
prosecution.
This apostolic episte Of Aaron to the Methodist
Church South is very remarkable production for
after telling the ministers and bishops of that church
that they are consprators, wrong doors, makers of
evil and violators of the law, he furthermore asks
them to believe and essays to prove that the illus
trious founder of their church was a fool and did
not know what he was about. How far he has sue
ceeded in producing this conviction is not known;
but it is probable that the Methodist ministers,
when they shall be convinced that in resolving to
vote only for native born citizens they are PLAYING
the part OF consprators, will at the same time be-
come convinced that Mr.. Wesley was a fool and
wrote on subjects that he did not understand
The one conclusion is quite rational AS the other
Try again, Mr.. Brown, don't give it up So"
