| Who are true Americans, or how can true Amer
lean be Know Nothing, consistently? This can
easily be explained. All acknowledge that true
Americans are friends to christianity-Kn Moth
lngism IS opposed to christianity; therefore, true
Americans can not be Know Nothings True Amer
leans are willing for all men to read the Bible and
judge for themselves, and worship the author of the
same as conscience dictates. Know Nothings abhor
want all to see as they do and act as they
DO. True Americans never swear men into any or
der, and impose it upon them to butcher men, How
do Know Nothings act B.? The Louisville riot answers
this. :. :
True Americans defend the Constitution of thu.
United States and look upon it as being true and
just to all both North and South and are unwilling
to see it laid aside. Are the Know Nothings de-
lending the Constitution? Their platform and votes
In all OF their elections plain enough on this
point. True Americans despise sectional politics
and political strife but love and cherish national
politics and union of the States The Know Moth
lngs are not natonal-to prove this we have only
to look at Massachusetts,, Kentucky, Louisiana Cal
norma, DC, where we thing in one State and
another thing in another State. In Massachusetts,
the Know Nothlngs are abolitionists; in Kentucky
they are men Killers in Louisiana they are CathO-
lies; in California they must be foreigners according
to the election of that State because California IS
filled up with Americans, Mcxicans, Spaniards,
French, English, Irish, Chinese Hindoos, Dutch,
DC. Then, they at a loss for name; perhaps
they go by different name over there, such as
Hindoos, because they cannot all be Americans by
birth; but this is easily done, they just the right
stamp to do anything to please these poor foreign
deoaLs as they call them. What party is now acting
in the day ?-the true American party Democratic
Not the Know Nothing American Wing Republican
Northern party. What party uphods such men as
wilson, Chase, Wade, Giddings and the three thou
sand preachers who signed petition to rvpeal the
Nebraska bill? What party uttcrs SO many bitter
VltuperatonS against the administration Of President
Pierce? This same Know Nothing concern is the
very one What party swears its members to vote
as the majority may See fit, and compes it's MEM
bers to keep all things secret to fight for one an
other, to make Foreigners do just may seem best
for the future good Of the party? This same tricky
upstart What party enjoins it upon its members
never to make known any person who belongs to
the lodge, and then holds "a Convention in Phila-
delpha and abrogates all this? This humbug K
N affair. Democrats, who have Joined this new
parry Tor the sake of popularity, is this fact you
did why this is strange. You do not pretend to
think of going in bad cause-you thought that it
was just what it was represented to be- did you p
Gould you not sec where it from and where it
was going of course you did. Then you sorry |
you ever joined any such thing, you? Then, !
come out from among them. You K. Ms are not !
half so uneasy about the Catholics overruning our |
country as you pretend; you great deal more |
uneasy Tor fear you will not be elected to high
Office You only hate the foreigner because he most |
generally chooses to vote for himself do his own
voting and consequently leaves you in the minority
ms Is what makes you Kill him-you think if he
VIII not please you ne shall not please any other
class. Next time treat hirn brother and he will
reat you the same. You not living with the
Northern wing of your lodge in perfect ease are
our 1t so don't talk about their free negrosm -
gu Southern h. n arc very much opposed to the
anatlcal part of your order, you? Then don't
latin every abolition triumph as yours. Sometimes
wonder what you are aiming at, | never hear of
NY good thing you do. When you get into office
-ou start Immediately the hunt of some Female
Il woman with You and charge her cx-
lenses TO the government at least of you

Then all quit your ways of error and join in with
