Know-Nothingis1n in Arkansas.

ow-Nothingism in Arkansas.
 We observe in our exchanges, that Captain PIKE recently delivered speech in Baltimore, in which he made some disclosures that will doubtless excite an interest in this State. Of Know-N othingism in Arkansas he said:
 "It was first heard of in Arkansas in November last and now it controlled the Legislature, and in State of 10000 voters had majority of 10000"
 It is recorded in the Scriptures, that "a pro- phet is not without honor, save in his own country" Doubtless the Captains declaration obtained implicit confidence with the Baltimo- reans, but it will hardly be received with much faith by the people of this State Capt. P1KE's majority of ten thousand will, we judge, upon trial turn out as did the boasted majority of the Know Nothings in Virginia From there it went abroad that the order contained 72,OOO members and that Wise was doomed to be de- feated by from twenty to thirty thousand votes. This was confidently believed every where but in Virginia but the result showed how erro. neous 1t was. Wise was elected by more than ten thousand votes. Upon trial, so it will be found in Arkansas In the way of boasting, the Know Nothings are hard to beat; but when the struggle comes they have to hide their heads. In the only election where they were boldly met, and their iniquities exposed, they were defeated-shamefull beaten. The de. mocracy of old Virginia tore off their mask and defeated their candidates. Since then, we have heard nothing more of the anmncaJze invisib1es Their mysteries have been laid open to view, and their presage of nvincibility has been de-. stroyed.
 As we have all along asserted, so it has turned out-Know- othingism in Arkansas is but another name and phase of whiggery.-- Capt PIKE, whose ultra federal notions are too strong even for the whigs of this State is the great leader and apostle of the order He is it's accredited representative abroad, and as such 1 is wandering about the Union making speeches. His speeches remind us of the campaign of 1049. The whigs then advocated "no-party- isrn.'' They were Americans, who, among their countrvmen, had "no friends to reward, no enemies to punish" They misled many honest, unsuspecting democrats, and succeeded ill completely humbugging the country. They carried the day, and old General Taylor was installed into office. He was pledged to make no removals, to prescribe no man for his opn- ions. But how did he redeem those pledges :? He removed every democrat then in office and appointed whigs.
 Such was the finale of "no- partyism," and such will be the finale of Know- Nothinqism. It is but a clap-trap to gull the democrats and to place power in the hands of the whigs. It is nothing more.
 Among the few States that were not deceiv- ed and mised in 1848, Were Virginia and Ar kansas. In Virginia the Know Nothngs claim ed majority of twenty or thirty thousand in Arkansas they claim majority of ten thou sand. In Virginia they were badly beaten-it remains to be seen what they can do in Arkan- sas. The democracy of Arkansas have never yet been humbugged, and in our opinion never will be. At least they never will be by such shallow tricks as Know Nottingham practices We have every confidence in the democrats of Arkansas-they are second edition of the Virginia democracy.
