having led the way in casting out that corrupt
incaous to the party known as our Pierce aa-
miDistration.
We may then anticipate tremendous conflict
In New York next November, between the re.
united democracy and the Know Nothiags.
Between these formidable parties the Seward
faction, the temperance fiction, and all other
secondary and third factions and ciieues, will
probably be ground TO powder as between "the
upper and the neither milstone.n Nor is it to
be supposed that the Know Nothings will per-
init the democracy te plan the order of battle
exactly to suit themselves. We apprehend that
the former will hold the latter responsible for
this Pierce and Marcy failure at Washington; for
its foilies, blunders and corruptons; and for les
unparalleled peace expenditures OF eighty mil
lions q year. We suspect that the Know No
hinge will make the BUSTING Of this corrupt de-
mocrxtic concern test question, and urge the
substitution Of q new administration upon new
principles, and with new men, as a public ne
cefeity.
The Philadelphia Know Nothing National
Ceurcil Of the ffsA instant, in this general view
looms up into an affair of national Importance
to all parties, all sections, and all candidates
especially Of the American party. Wepresume
that for the purpose of reforming the scattered
fragments of their party into homogeneous
mass, the Know Nothings at Philadelphia will
see the Importance Of putting forward as their
champion, new and popular man, North
and South, East and West. Nor should
we be surprised were they to indicate their
| first choice as Live Oak George Law. 1t is
very evident that Mr.. Fillmore's popularity
would be limited to the wing silver grays, o
very small and inefficient clique. Nor do we
believe that Clayton would answer better
purpose, or any old broken backed politician
Of either OF the two cid parties. In fact, we
know of no better man to bring forward against
Henry A. Wise than this same Live Oak George
Law. If the one is eloquent in words, the
other is eloquent in his works. II Wise can
make great speeches, Law can make great
bridges, canals, and steamships. If Wise is
keen and sagacious politician, Law is q solid,
reliable practical man.
To sum up: The reunion Of the democracy
has been started upon q new card, ignoring
the administration, and sinking all minor ques-
tions in q crossing of bayonets with the Know
Nothines, and against their unconstitutional
oaths and obligations for the extirpation Of Ca
tholics and foreigners The Know Nothings on
their side. will have to soften down their in
tolerance and bigotry, and hold the democracy
accountable for this Pierce dynasty aud les
corruptions, nOlens oolens. Such are the signs
| ana suggestions of this momentous Tammany
celebration. Now, let us see what can be done
at Philadelphia, to counterfeit this movement.
Dark lanterns and hard swearing have failed.
Sound principles and strong men are demanded
by the people.

shall have the capacity to unravel all these
webs Of confusion, and the honesty to prevent
their re-entaDgle From the sketch that
is printed elsewhere, George Law appears to
possess these qualities.
THE Law OF LBEL.-We publish elsewhere
the judgment in the case Of Emery Matthews
against Moses S. Beach, ct al, proprietors OF
the Sum newspaper. The action was for pub
fishing the account of an assault which was
given to q reporter Of the Sun by the party
assaulted, and was published in the ordinary
course of business. The defendants pleaded
the truth of the libel and established 1t to the
satisfaction OF the jury; whereupon, Judge Bos-
worth having lucidiy laid down the law 10 his
charge, verdict was found for the defendants.
This case will have good effect in putting
. stop to class OF libel suits which have been
growing too common OF late years. 1t has Of
ten happened here that man who was unfor-
tuDate in business or otherwise, and whose mis-
fortunes found their way into the papers, has
attempted to revenge himself on society aud
retrieve his losses by an action of libel against
the press. Hence newspaper proprietors have
been placed in dilemma between emitting es-
genital items Of news, or running the risk of
an action fer libel. The law allows them Of
course, to prove the truth Of their libel; put
uries are often hard to convince on this point,
and witnesses are often not to be found at the
right time.
The rule which applies to the publication of
an account of an assault will also, of course,
cover the publication of q fair criticism of a
play or an opera. 1t the truth Of the facts
stated can be proved, it will not matter whether
simultaneously with the appearance of the cri-
ticism charged as libellous, the player or ma
nsger failed: that is his business, not that OF
editors. In the Fry case, for instance, we were
prosecuted for criticising the Opera management
Of Mr.. Fry, and it was urged that as Mr.. Fry
had failed as manager, therefore our critiques
had injured him. We proved the truth of what
we had stated. Yet by some misunderstanding
Of the law and the fact, the jury came to the
conclusion that we ought to reimburse Mr..
Fry the money he had lost as manager, be-
cause we had seen from afar the causes which
would lead to his failure. 1t is to be hoped
that this case Of the Sun, together with the re-
cent legislation on the subject Of libels, will
guard juries against the repetition Of such blum
ders. Newspapers must be free to tell the
truth about operas and theatres as well as as
saults in the streets, or there will be no more
freedom Of the press.
