NEW HAMPSHIRE,

Our readers will remember that the Know Moth
ngs and Abolitionists combined, recently carried
Hew Hampshire by large majority, electing two
birds of the members of the Legislature and Metcaf
Governor. The Democracy, as a party, stood firmly
~ the fugitive slave law and the principles of the
Nebraska-Kansas bill, and they polled for Governor
vote nearly equal to their former votes but the
ombination referred to too strong for them and
hey were beaten. The cry of the Know Nothings-
ieaded as they were by John P. Hale, the traitor
Burke, negro preacher of the name of James, and
Ex-Governor Anthony Colby, who was member of
ne Committee on Resolutions in the Know Nothing
9hiladelpha Convention-was, doun Nth lSIarery,
Popery and Foreigners, and up soiM the Maine IL

Address, denounced the Nebraska Kansas bill as an
outrage, and declared uncompromising opposition to

Hale and Mr. Bell.

states which, according to the American Organ
'rinted at Washington City, did not secede from the
Philadelphia Convention, but only "protested" If
What the "Organ "says be true, then are Southern
know Nothings still in alliance with Colby, Hale,
detcals Bell, and the rank and file of the Know
Sothings of New Hampshire.

NASH COUNTY.

A friend in Nash County, who is well acquainted
with the people and with the condition of public
timent writes as follows:
"We have heard that it is currently reported in
Raleigh, that Mr. Branch will lose six hundred votes
in this county. Now, sirs, think I speak what
know when say that Mr. Shepard will not getin this
county more than one hundred votes. This, say
again, is fixed fact and if any of the dark-lanterns
are disposed to dispute the assumption, think they
can be accommodated in any amount they are dis
posed to hazard. Six hundred votes, indeedl-but
this is only in accordance with the systematic
falsehoods set aioat by dark-lanterns for effect
Ny word for it, shall give L. OBJ Branch clear
majority of ten hundred and .tstty votes Put that
down as certain"

THE MARCH OF :INToLERANcE.e

A Know Nothing pamphlet made its appearance
in New Jersey not long since, in which it stren
uously maintained that the Methodist Episcopal
Church was liable to the objections in the pow
Of its Bishops as the Roman Catholic Church
and that both ought be to the same rule
of intolerance.
We learn that the work of prescription has already
been begun by the Know Nothings of N. Hampshire.
Governor Metcalf and Council have removed Rev.
Eleazer Smith from the office of chaplain to the State
prison-the sole cause being that he is Democrat.
Mr.. Smith is q highly esteemed clergyman of the
Methodist Church. On account of ill-health he has
been unable to perform the duties of Circuit preach
er for some years past, and the small salary attach.
ed to the Office from which he has been removed has
been his chief means of support We do not know
the peculiar religious opinions Of his successor but
the probability is that he is Universalst. Uni
versast, it is known, was elected by the Philadel-
phia Convention as the national Chaplain of the
Order
In the language of Mr.. Rayner in the Convention
of 1885, IF you exclude sect, why not another
and another, and finally all except one?"-and,
added Mr.. Rayner, with great truth, "there is but
step from religious freedom to the most bitter
and intolerant persecution" We have heard it in
timated that there are Ministers of the Gospel in
this State who are Know Nothings. Can this be so?
Are they engaged in dcing what they have SO often
denounced in the Catholics of the old world
persecuting' Is Christ's kingdom of this world |?
Is it to be advanced by the use of carnal weapons?
We concur with the Editor of Methodist Journal
published in one of the Northern States that the
Ministers of the Gospel should knoao nothing but
Christ and him crucifed." Judge Longstreet, a
. distinguished Methodist, and pious and learned
man, has well described the fruits of Know Nothing
ism. He asks "what they?" and gives the an

ton and ought to know all about these corruptions
Perhaps Messrs. Rayner and Haughton, who were
also members, will enlighten the people of North
Carolina OH the subject.
We avail ourselves of this occasion to say to our
readers that we have carefully observed the rise,
the doings, and the progress of the Know Nothing
party-we have studied somewhat the doctrines and
workings of the Order in the different States and in
the late Convention at Philadelphia-and we know
something of the character of the men who control
it and while cheerully admit that there gen.
tlcmen in the Order and that among the leaders
there is some honesty and patriotism, yet upon the
whole We believe it is the most uncharitabe, selfish
and corrupt combination that ever existe in this
country; and that its permanent ascendency in the
Federal and State Governments would lead to frauds
embezzlements, peculations, riots, mob.aw, disre-
gard Of public and private rights and would end in
the dissolution of the Union and a bloody war be-
tween the different races and sects in all portions o
the land. This is our opinion, and we entitled
to it We shall, therefore, make war upon this Or
der as we would upon deadly foe to the good name
of the Republic and the liberties of the people. Wt
