THE NORTHERN KYow-NoTHINGs.

We astonshed to see how rapidly the northern
know-nohings are seeking shelter in the abolition ranks
The election in Virginia where the democrats rebaked
them and their false promises and transparent oes in
complete fashion has given them hearty snrieit Of
southern institutions Hence il is natural enough that
10 Ohio they should their coquetres with the abo
donists that in Pennsylvania they should refuse by i'm
mense votes to endorse the soced national knownoth-
ing PLATFORM in New Jersey the press should speak in
bitter scorn Of the South that in New York Mr. Fmores
organ the Buffalo Advertiser should depore any separa-
ton between those enemies of the democratic party the
abolitionists and know-nothings; and that in New
England abolition should have increased
alike in number and in magnity. The know-nothings
are eager for place They perfectly willing TO make
any arrangement any sacrifice short Of that which may
deprye them Of Office This is the first and the last object
OF their leaders and to this end all things must be subor-
dnae II matters little who gives them the power so that
they get IT, They would prefer national influence if il
first great object by helping those who will help them
Hence like faithful Dugad Dagettys if the southern peo-
pie will not stand by the knownothings the latter viii
stand by the southern peopethat is quite clear and
there is the end of it, Besides be abotonist is be
consistent with what they have been 1t is comfortable
and Mr. Seward is able pay down for their services,
they have concluded to take the bounty and go in.
The South is all right look after herself say the know
nohings but ii is evident she does whit
more than we like her

KNOW -NoTHINGIsM IN NORTH CAROLINA.

We copy from the New York Herald the following pas
sage which in letter published under the heading
of " Our North Carolina Correspondence"
81 strange how many unavailable, unsuccessful and
deunct politicians this strange sect has resurrectionized
All the dsaected and soured aspants for Office of all par
ties joined know nothngsm, in last expiring effort to
be somethngto rule ruin the country by apping the
very foundations of the government in its present form, by
ignoring civil and religious berty in short they str
wing return to the dark ages of the nquon the rack
the stake and the guone. But it is not here in the South
that such nuous doctrines to succeed particularly
the old North State where have less gas than in any
portion of the Union All isms and montroses in religion
politics eschewed by the SOBER discriminating
of North Carolina. We have utilization with humbugs
their ncenda-y and windy appeals ignorance elhness
or bigory of any kind"
This paragraph is noticeable several II de-
scribes with Just severity the mischievous and corrupt
spirit of the know-nohng leaders, of whom the poor dem
agogue Kenneth Rayner affords visible type the PEG
pie of North Carolina Above ALL it characterzes truly
and with just commendaon the manly sincere, direct
straightforward and reliable but unostenatious patriot
ism which honoraby distinguishes the political
the State of North Carolina.

THE New YORK LIQUOR LAw--This law has thus far
proved abortion. In most of the larger cities in the
State attempt is made to enforce it, In Rochester the
American of Saturday says
Measures have been taken by the police to secure the
observance OF the Maine law be followed by more
stringent action if necessary But up that time thirsty
people we understand had trouble in obtaining wha,
they wished TO drink"
The Buffalo Commercial OF Monday says:
ave can hear of seizures having been made as vet
under the provision Of the prohbory act but we n-
derstand that quite number of witnesses hav been sub
pnnaed to appear before the grand jury of the court OF
sessions which commenced session to-day swear against
sundry vendors Of liquor for violations Of the act since the
4th of July
The Saratoga Republican Of the 9Th says:
mo attention paid here yesterday the
seizure clause of the prohbitoryquor law but the de-
struction portion OF the enactment was most rigidy
obeyed'
And We hear from private sources that no attention
whatever is paid to the law at Saratoga There is more
drinking than ever in proportion to the number of guests
at the Springs
The Syracuse Standard says that the quantity of liquor
sold in that city during Monday and Tuesday last very
greatestmated at less than tpenty thousand gallons
which, averaging at dollar gallon, would
$4,000.
