One ofthe Worst Phas e.

The worst phase Of Know Nothingism is
not the success Of is objects; for SHOULD the
new order succeed in ENGRAVING its meas
ures upon the legislation Of the country, the
effect would be so pernicious that the peo-
pie would soon apply a corrective. The
worst phase about, and one for which there
is no remedy, is its conversion Of tho A
meiican nation into a nation Of liars, and
the destruction OF confidence between man
We noed not go abroad for illustrations Of
our meaning. Instances are numerous in
our midst, AMI patent to everybody, Of re-
spectacle m en-, who before the advent Of the
new order would have been credited on their
word rs readily as upon their oaths, who
now could be successfully impeacLed before
a court Of Justice. Tney persist in denying
all knowledge of the new order, while the
evidence Of their membership accumulates
and becomes overwhelming. Those who
have placed confidence in them before, be-

There ia a text in this from which a pow

a much more acceptable work in preaching

consequences. Meanwhile, in the absence

OF corruption. The acts OF the present Know

such a degree Of stupidity, ~venaIity AID
recklessness, that the ouly wonder with him
was, that the people hal tolerated it as long
as they have done. He hoped. however,
that now, with all these things before them,

MICHIGAN REDEEMED From the returns
OF the spring elections hom all parts Of the
State Of Michigan that the Detroit Free Press
continues to publish, there seems to be no
doubt that the Know Nothings are badly
routed-a complete revolution since the FL.
sion t~riumphs Of last fall. Il: is not to be
wondered at after the monstrous silly con-
duct Of the Know Nothing Legislature Of
last winter. 1t was as silly though not as
wild as the Legislature Of Massachusetts,
