ITEMS, &C.
The Montpulier Vatchman continues the por- .
traiture of the Northern and Southern wings Of
.'Know nottingham" Last week the two faces
were made to scowl at each other very considera-
bly, The conclusion arrived at, after this labori-
Gus investigation is thus summarily given.
"Thc upshot Of the whole matter is, that the
Northern X. Ms. must become doughaces, or back
out of X Nisin, or be ''knichel out" As to the
two branches working together ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
is hopeless. As well might one expect harmony in
mixture Of fire and gun-powder."
The Patriot continues to pitch into the Know
Nothings with will. Its editorials arc more no
ted for assumption aud assertion, than for vigorous
logic and good taste 1t is generally believed that
they will do no serious damage.
The Windsor Journal, in commenting upon the
present European war and the feelings entertained
by Americans towards the respective belligerenis,
says -
'As the war is at present conducted we believe
that the governments Of France and England
neither possess nor deserre the sympathy of Amer
leans. As far as the people of those countries
concerned, We appreciate and admire the motives /
which actuate them. The present war is popular
with them, because they regard it as just and
righteous war, undertaken for the defence of the
weak against inc oppressor' I rhey Sre IN the

SLAMS the inclemencies of the climate, the wagtns
of pestilence, and, more than all, by the ncal eity
of their generals. But all this suffering they look
upon as saerihce ior tue cause Oh justice ana hu-

LOUIS NAPOLEON, the great head and front of tho
alliance, who is soon to assume the command ofthe
allied forces, is too well known in modern history
lie can have no sympatl,ies with the oppressed. -
His present eminence was attained only by violence
and perjury. He has volunteered once to REFUGE to
bondage the suffering Italians, when they were
making an effort to throw of the yoke of oppres-
