~ When the cholera comes the physician
wastes his prescriptions to no purpose the disease
RACES on, and the victim dies in spite of the usual
and appropriate remedies. So with know-nothing-
ism; men instinctively resort to reason and argu-
ment against the delusion, but you might as well
reason with post as with know nothing. He
is not to be reasoned with-he Is not reasoning
animal. You had as well give him dose of calo-
mel as 40 argument against the organization of his
party. He knows it is wrong, and don't care if it
is or he is possessed with notion that he is doing
Gods service, and is not bound by the ideas of
frail nortals.
1t is equally vain to reason with know nothing
about his creed. He is for religious liberty-cer-
tsinly be is. He is bound by an oath to prescribe
all Catholics from Office; but he is for their equal
rghts-of course he is. His creed and his profess
sons self contradictory; that papable to the
world; but Whist of that? He can't see see it he
has got the distemper. We are not, he will tell
you, opposed to religious liberty; you know we are
not. We oppose Catholics on account of their
politics. Precisely the same excuse prosecutors
have always urged to enlist the civil power in be-
half OF their wicked purposes. The State is in
danger-the same old excuse. Foreigners, too,
liberties. A poor lrishmap, or German, is mag
ni6ed into host armed for the destruction of our
institutions. Wecsnt see the danger, but a know
nothing see it He is bioogised and sees ghosts
and hobgobblins stalking about
{, What is the use of reasoning with man of dis
tempered imagination, or with one who has made
up his mind to see sights for e purpose9 We see
no use in an elaborate argument with him. Better
send the doctor to examine his head and give him
bread pills, or something else, to soothe his cere-
bral developments. Better take care Of the poor
fellows-shouldn't be surprised if they crowd the
asylum at Lexington before they are done with it.

strous oaths and pledges, which it is shocking to

FEY We don't repember ever to have had a
controversy with a paper SO perfectly able to use
itself up the Gasetie proves itself to be- It tells
US that free negroes not citizens, and therefore
have no right to vote here Yet up to 1885, free
negroes did possess The right to vote in Tennessee
This fact upsets the whole of the Gazettss argu-
cised the tight of permitting persons to vote who
never can under our laws, become citizens. After
this will the Gazette continue seriously to main
tsin that the State Of Tennessee can admit 10 the
right Of suffrage negro, Ineligible TO citizenship,
and yet possess no power 10 confer the same privi
ege on white man, who has shown his inten-
ton Of becoming citizen as soon as the forms of
law can be complied with

axr csDwaLADra, Of Philadelphia. in letter to
a gentleman in Washington City, presents the fatal
effects Of a success Of the know-no.hing party in
light which oughtto be pondered upon by every
citizen Of Tennessee and the South. lie SAYS:
At every State, county and other municipal
election, since 1852 at hich formerly established
local democratic majority has been overcome at the
North, the successful ro:e OF our opponents has
been the result Of secret combination of aboli-
tonists and fFeesoilers with wings, native Ameri-
cans and Disconnected outcasts Of The deIaocracy,
united Hnder the know nothing organization
have said that this organization would have been
every where AZ the North as powerless, without
the aid OF the abolition and freesoil vote as the
freesoil and abolition vote would have been insig,
hhcant without know-Doihing corporation.
New York IS not Included 10 these observations,
it is because we cannot regard her vacating demo-
cratic vote as having OF late years been an essao-
shed party majority The sealed book oil her

~ Is eAly 20 the fugitive slave law. The real OBJ

is its repeal They forbear rs yet TO agtate the
question openly because when ITS agitation was at

Ihirty-cne States at the presidential election show
ed the strength Of the democracy with its legit-
mate supports of Southern patriots on the one

hand sustaining the constitutional rights Of their
Southern ielow-ctizens. Our opponents hope, in

~ George Washington wrote the following
letter soon after the constitution was made and sd
dressed it to the General COMMITTEES of the united
Baptist churches in Virginia:
Gentlemen-If I could have entertained the
slightest apprehension that the constitution framed
by the convention where / had the honor to pre-
side might possibly endanger the religious rights Of
any ecclesiastical society, certainly would never
have placed my signature to it; and if could not
conceive that the general government might even
be so administered to render the liberty of con-
science insecure beg you will be persuaded that
no one would be more jealous than myself to es-
ablish elecual barriers against the horrors of spr
itual tyranny, and every species Of religious perse
cution For you doubtless remember have often
expressed my sentiments that any man conducting
himself as good citizen, and being accountable to
God alone for his religions opinions, ought to be
protected in worshpping the Deity according to the
dictates of his own conscience.

the constitution of that State:
''No person shall be entitled TO vote in any cleo
ton in this Commonwealth unless lie shall he bv
birth citizen Of the United States, except persons
of foreign birth who shall have been duly and e-
gaiy nsturalized before the adoption Of this amend
ment"
The Gazette contends that the States have no
right to permit persons of foreign birth to vote IN
Ill they have been naturalzej b. the laws of the
Enited States Has Massachusetts, then, the right
TO exclude from voting persons who have been thus
naturalized? Let US hear from the Gazette on this
