KNOW NOTHING PREACHERS.

1t is an undeniable fact that some ministers of the
Gospel co have connected themselves with the K.
n. Order. Such men must have lost all confidence
in God and his Word and come to the conclusion
that the creature is greater than the Creator, and
mans devices more potent than the revelations of
Heaven they must be persuaded that the plotting
of in secret conclave, at the still hour of night,
is better calculated to promote the welfare of reg
ion than the inspired teachings of Gospel light.
The controlling with these men must have
been either political sectarian If political consid
eratons influenced them, then do they place their
thoughts and affections upon temporal more than up
spiritual matters, and consequently unworthy
of the high trust committed to them. That minister
who publicly writes speaks in favor Of any polit-
cal party degrades his sacred calling and lessons his
influence oyer the souls of which he must give an
account.
1t is probably more charitable to conclude that
they have been governed by sectaran considerations
rather than political ones; for the former may be
attributed to the head rather than to the heart-to
prejudice rather than to understanding, and to a
blind zeal rather than to we'll considered purpose.
IfRoman Catholicism be, as we believe it is, wrong
in many respects, let fight it with gospel truth
and if this does not put it down-if this weapon of
the Almighty fas-then it is vain to resort to hui
man weapons and especially those manufactured in
darkness and an hour when good Christians should
be asleep. Or if duty prompted to wakefulness,
would it not be better to pore the Bible and the
writings Of great, good and learned men, from which
to Gull of truth for the overthrow of Roman
ism? If Professionalism be not on basis that will
support without resortng to human devices, hatch
ed in political meetings, then let it fall If it
be not rampant that can be successfully defended
with the weapons of light and truth, let it be sur
rendered. Men who fly to Know Nothingsn for its
protection have not the confidence in it they should
have and put that trust in God and his promises
which is requisite to constitute good Christian
All prosecutions are born in weakness. The lack of
confidence in the rectitude of opinions be-
gets within us desire to sustain them by force
When we are conscious of the truth and soundness
of our belief we fear no assaults upon it, for we
know it cannot be overturned Good Protestants,
them should have fear Of Ronlanism; for God
has promised his aid in a contest between truth and
error

JUDGE SAUNDERS-THE KNOW NOTHINGS.
The Know Nothings Of Massachusetts, have just
voted in the Legislature of that State to request the
Governor to remove Judge E. G. Loring from his
office, because he enforced the fugitive-save law in
the case of Burns and the Governor will no doubt
comply with the request. This is act in the dra-
Another is, the abuse and vituperation heaped
on Judge Saunders of this State, by the Wing Know
Nothing press for his recent charge to the Grand
Jury of Buncombe County. Judge Saunders was
inquired of by the Grand Jury as to the law the
subject, and he could not have done less than he did
For simple discharge of duty he has been mahgned
and abused by an INSCRIPTIONS press and if the
were in session, they would probably impeach him
Such is the folly, the madness, the wickedness of
this midnight organization.
A conspiracy in law is confederation of men to
do unlawful act; a combination to perform
lawful act by unlawful means The gst of the of.
fence consists in the combination-in the intent;
and the act performed is but aggravation. There
be doubt that it is unlawful for body of men
to combine to deprive, by threats of personal and
moral disgrace, any portion of our citizens from vot
ing from holding office and this applies especially
to those persons who have abandoned the Know
Nothing lodges and determined to act independently
and for themselves. Such persons denounced
perjurers-they are assaulted in their character and
their business; and those who make these assaults
not only amenable to the law by Indictment, to
be found by the Grand Juries, but may be sued by
the persons aggrieved for damages.
Judge Saunders is not to be deferred from the
performance of his duty by assaults from this any
other quarter. He is alike above fear and above
nroach

THE FRANKLINToN CONVENTION.

We trust every delegate will bear in mind the inn
nortance of the Convention to be held at Franklin
ton on Friday, the 18th, and will by all means make
# convenient to attend Our opponents counting
largely upon divisions in ranks; and they are
ready to profit by any lukewarmness or disafection
which they may perceive. Let be true to ourselves
to our principles to organization, and we shall have
nothing to fear.
We feel confident that candidate can be selected
who will be acceptable to the party in all por-
tious of the District. We have the victory with
in our grasp, and lose it only by the most Gull
nable indifference, or by divisions among ourselves
We know that, at this season of the year espe-
caly, it will be announcement for some of the dele
gates to attend; but let such reflect upon the great
stake at issue, and upon their responsibility to their
brother Democrats who have selected them as their
representatives, and determine to go and give or
two days to their country in this its hour of excite
ment and peril.
Union, energy, .frmness, and all will be well.

ANOTHER PRESENTMENT.

The Grand Jury of Monroe county, N. Y, after
investigation of three days, presented the K. n
Organization OF the twenty jurors there were only
five who dissentcd, and in their minority report they
carefully abstain from saying that votes were not
influenced but assert that "free speech and liberal
discussion :" were not prevented The following is
the concluding portion of the presentment:
The grand jury have been much embarrassed in
their investigation by the refusal of witnesses to
questions put to them as to their proceedings
in secret session, the ground that disclosure of
these facts would render them infamous and in 9TH
er cases, the witnesses clames protection on the
ground that answers to the questions would crmi-
nate themselves. Having thus been deprived of the
full disclosure of facts, individual cases have been
presented by u.s. and the jury therefore beg leave to
make this general presentment against such combi-
nations-that in their opinion, direct violation
of the statute in relation to elections, the law
designed to protect and guard every elector in free
and voluntary choice in casting his ballot, and to al
low every citizen, otherwise worthy to be proper
subject of such suffrage We believe from the testi-
mony before US that such proceedings strike at the
foundation of individual liberty of action and tend di-
rectly destroy the great and cardinal principles of
our institutions, founded by foreathers; that
our institutions can only continue to exist by the
free and uncontrolled action of the citizen and that
all such restraints and obligations destructive to
an elective and free government"

CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS TO ALL.

HENRY CLAWS OPINION OF NArURALIZED CITIZENS.
Those wings who revere the memory and profess to
adhere to the political princ pies of the late Henry
Clay will be edited by reading the following What
contrast it affords to the know nothing rant, and alb
surd attacks upon the class of persons to whom Mr.
Clay refers:
Extract from Mr.. Clays celebrated speech in defence
Of the american system, delirered in the Senate
Of the United States, Fe6rua'y 3, 1882.
The honest patient, and industrious German

his diligence gathers around him, always ready to

accommodating himself cheerfuly to all the vicis-
STUDIES of life incorporates himself without diff Guilty

mate themselves quickly with our people as the
natives Of the Emerald Isle In some of the visions
which have passed through my imag ination, have
supposed that Ireland was originally part and parcel
of this continent, and that, by some extraordinary
CONFUSION of nature, it torn from America, and,
drifting the ocean, it placed in the unfor
tunate vicinity of Great Britain. The same open
heartedness the generous hospitality the same
careless and uncalcuating indifference about human

Kentucky has been sometimes called the Ireland of

The FALLING THE RAILROAD BRIDGE NEAR

Railroad bridge, near Browns Mills, Orange. 1t is
stated, in the Recorders notice, that "one of the
supports which rested upon an insecure foundation
near the middle of the river, gave way, &c. This
might leave the inference that the support referred
to was Of mason-work; whereas, it was false wood
work, intended for temporary supports, and being
placed, stated. upon insecure ground it sunk
down. the bridge falling upon it. The bridge is clear
of the stream resting on stone abutments on either
side. None Of the mason eoork gaze aOay.
