We repuhlish, for the benefit of Know Moth
recently adopted 10y Know Nothing Convention
in Massachusetts,
ResoIced, That we hail with hope and joy the
receHs brilliant of the republican party in
the States of Maine, Iowa. Indiana, Pennsylvania,
and Ohio, and trust these victories foresha-
dow of others to come, by which the free
States shall present solid phalanx of opposition
to the aggressions of slavery.
Res0lred That in the present chaotic condition of
parties in Massachusetts,, the only star above the
horizon is the love of human liberty and the a6or
Of SLaUeTy and that it is the duty of all anti
slavery men to rally round the republican party,
as an organization which invites the united action
of the people the transcendng question of slave
dominion which now divides the Union.
WHEREAS, Roman Catholicism and slarery, being
alike f0unded end supported on ignorance and to-
ranny, and being, therefore, natural allies in every
warfare against liberty and enlightment: Therefore,
be it
ResolUed That THERE EXIST NO REAL HOSTILE
RY, ITS NATURAL CO-WORKER IN OPPOSITION TO FREE
DOM AND REPUBLICAN INSTITUTION s..
We are frequently told-indeed the last Star
states-that Know Nothingsm ignores slave
ry-that is, it casts it aside and will have moth
ing to do with it. That is complexion of the
matter; the other is shown in the fact that this
ignoring, so called, leaves each Know Nothing
free to say and do what he pleases on the subject
and consequently, these Massachusetts Know
Nothings, with Senator Wilson and Theodore
Parker at their head, may denounce and revile
the South, and still be good members of the
Order.

The Murfreesborough Gazette has done gross
injustice to the Editor Of this paper. We are as
much opposed to aJesuitismn and to the .'Roman
Catholic hierarchy" as the Editors of the Gazette
can be; and we are equally opposed to the new
Order of Jesuits called Know Nothings,s and to
their proscriptve and uncharitable policy We
hold the great principles embodied in the federal
and State Constitutions the subject of religious
liberty, and illustrated and carried out by Thomas
Jefferson before and after his triumph over John
Ada rs IN 1900; and we approve the doctrines on the
same subject set foIth in the Convs nti.n of 1897
by William CASTOR and. Kenneth Rayner We
stand Just acere sce did before this crusade against
Catholics and naturalized citizens uuas consnaenced
and nothing can drive us from this position. Surely
the Editors of the Gazette either intended to do
us injustice, or they had not read with any atten-
ton our articles in relation to Catholics and So
called foreigners
We have been charged frequently by the Wig
press with consulting selfish ends by going with
the current; now when it suits their purposes bet
ter, they ignore this charge by the new one that
we have united our fortunes with the one or two
thousand Catholics in the State as against eight
hundred thousand Protestants! We refer to this
to show the consistency with which we are assailed.
In the language of Levi Woodbury., 1--WE go
where Democratic principles lead, and when they
cease to lead we cease to follow
The Gazette may repair the injustice it has
done us, or it may not, just as it chooses. We
are accustomed to such things, but we seldom
submit in silence. We refer it to the columns of
the Standard, with the additional remark, most
respectfully submitted, that its professions of De-
mocracy will not deter from speaking of its
course hereafter in such terms we may conceive
to be just and suited to the OCCASION

SPAIN.

The Spanish Ministers of War and of Foreign AZ
fairs recently waited the Queen of Spsn 10 trans
act some business. Her Majesty took advantage of
their presence declare that her desire that in
the basis of the Constitution relative 10 religion the
liberty Of worship should not be directly or indirectly
proclaimed ard that Catholic unity should be firmly
es'sblis he'd in Spain.
The Spanish ambassador at Paris is empowered to
make a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive
against Russia analogous TO that jus' concluded with
Piedmont. The Spanish Government feels, it is SAID
the need of French influence to make head against
The Carlists. To complete the analogy this person
will propose Spanish loan, to be guaranteed, it is
said by France and Eng land.
The expected Carlst NOV ement in Spain is said to
be postponed Count Montemolin having written to
his isnds that is better to wait yet awhile as ne
expects ths, Espartero and his Government will
soon be exhausted, and lose all influence over the
Cort1s and the people.
