FRIENDS IN THE SOUTH-FOES IN THE NORTH
Wherever the friends of the constitution strong the
know-nothngs contemplate in numbers and in inlu-
Wherever the enemies of the constitution are strong
the know-nothings are powerful and numerous If we
follow these premises to their just conclusions shall
find the whole question of nationality" of fidelity to
the rights and equality Of the States, reduced to few
simple and selfevident propositions Thus where con-
stitutiona principles strong the know-nothings make
show of devoted attachment to them but the demo-
cratic party has always sustained these principles and
stands where it has stood for fifty years in regard them
the find their sudden efforts to outbd that
party in the public confidence very bad speculation
especially in connexon with their odious projects of re-
gous intolerance and political prescription On the other
hand in all those quarters where the abolition sentiment
is controlling the know-nothings anxious fuse with
the abotonsts and hare done So great extent in
nearly every northern State Since their overwhelming
defeat in the South the parisans Of the secret party are
anxious be on the question Of southern
rights than any of the old organizations and It is now
quite fashionable for them to urge the formation of excu
sive southern combinations On the other side which is
the the picture the party runs riot on the
abolition question in the free States and as ready to
in the words of Garrison and of Phillips MS of any
of the consistent fanatics the antislavery side
We realize the utility of know-nothngism in this brief
sketch of its present position We realize also the value
of its professions of nationality the sincerity of its
upon the aboonists, and the truth of its noisy VOW

A KNOW NOTHING CLAIM ON LOUISIANA.

In late number of the New York Express we find the
following paragraph;
Louisiana belongs the Americans know -nothings,
body and SOUL and the election in November will send
entire American [know nothngl delegation to Congress
Why does the Express give the of the high
contracting powers in this extraordinary purchasethe
buyers and sellers the day of SALE the asked the
finally agreed upon, the actual terms and eonsid
eraons which caused the transfer of great sovereign
State from the hands of its people TO the keeping of
cret midnight association? Is not the whole statement
sort of political myth, or rather bogus presumption
claim got up with the view of frightening off actual demo-
cratic settlers? The same claim of know-nohing posses
sion was set up in Virginia. North Carolina, Tennessee,
Alabama and Texas but the utter worhessness of the
title efectuay settled at the baotbox, that the
assertion of the Express that Louisiana belongs to the
knownothings body and soul" is calculated to
cite feeling of derson than Of apprehension.
Louisiana may yet belong the know-nohings but
until she has sold her brthright in the family of free
sovereign Sates not until she has barered the principles
and raiced with the conscences of her citizens and not
until she has yielded herself up willing but unpited
sacrifice for the affairs of aboltionism We anticipate
such saleno such depth of moral and political degrade
ton for the patriotic intelligent and chvaric people OF
louisiana They hold communion with party
which only sanctions but encourages robbery arson
and murder; which would rend families asunder because
of birth and religion and which would FIJI the land with
civil strife and religious feuds.
That there many converts to know-nothngism in
louisiana know othngism is taught in and adapted
to that State admits of dispute There its followers
told that the order makes discrimination between
Pro.estants and Catholics naturazed and natiye-born
citizens and evidence of the sincerity of these tolerant
professions French Roman Catholic Creole is nominated
the knownohing candidate for governor and the re
giousest principle adopted by the Philadelphia national
eonventon repudated apparently with hearty and
contempt But these hypocrcal professions and prac-
blind the people Of Louisiana the bigory
intolerance, and proscrptiyeness of know-nothngisrn
Hundreds of deluded members have left the order in
dismay and disgust and hundreds preparing follow
Many of these persons who have realizing sense OF
the principles and true objects Of this
ton of conspators against civil and religious freedom
content to sgnalize their emancipation from the
basng servtude of the lodge by merely enrolling them
selves under the broad unspoed banners of the democratic
party side by side with the old and chosen leaders the
democracy they are rendering conspicuous and i'm
portant service in with which the prosperity and
even duration of the republic are identified.
