know Nothingism- Worthy Tribute.

We clip the following passage from
the leading editorial of the last Rich
mpnd Christian Advocate (Melhodist.)
The whole article was designed to vim
dictate Methodism from certain Mis-
representations which the writer con-
ceiyed had appeared in the political
press, and has immediate reference to
a preceding article of the same charac.
ter upon which the Enquirer had free
~ commented. The views and opin-
ions contained in the extract are manly
and honest, and we therefore give Them
a place in our columns: PET. Intel.
!" We intended no defence Of Knew
Nothingism. We had no occasion to
defend them, and are under no obliga-
tons to do SO. We have no connex-
ion whatever with the Order. But we
do not scruple to say that, il we rightly
understand their opinions as to the ma
turalization laws Of the country, and
the political character Of Popery, we
have nothing to say againstlhem. We
regard the United States as Profess
tant country. We believe it ought to
be governed BY its native citizens,
without the interference Of the hordes
Of ignorant iufidels, or priest ridden
Romanists who are flocking To our
shores. We believe Popery to be more
Of political than a religious organiza-
ton, that it interferes with political
matters in every section Of our land,
and that it will play traitor to the lib
critics of America, as it has proved Ju-
das TO religion. We would not trust
it with civil liberty Or religious rights,
no, not for moment. These are OUT
convictions. We utter them without
asking the leave Of any political party.
We do not intend 10 be misunderstood
on this point. We, therefore, on the
whole re.afiirm the sentiment with
which We closed cur last weeks arti-

paper; as we do therisht Of che Know Nothings
TO vote for whom they please, without estecm-
ing il persecution" We have no connection
with the Know Nothing, or American, party
other than that which results from concur
renee Of principles. As far as we have been
able to gather their principles from their PUBLISH
ed declarations, we were Know Nothings in
sentiment before the order was known. That
.Americans should rule America" is no new
sentiment with US; and we shall be glad to sec
the principle extended, SO that only Americans
shall be appointed to represent America abroad.
Nor do we object to the exclusion OF Roman
Jesuits from Office by popular suffrage. We
regard them as subseryicnt to the Pope. and as
prosecuting sect, and therefore dangerous to Ii
berty wherever they have the sway. On these
points,t "Sam's" sentiments harmonic with
our own and though we find him promoting
Democrats as well as Wings to oiiice,--Whg
though we be, we have experienced no little sa-
tisfacton in witnessing the efficiency with which
he carries out these principles And notwith-
standing the dissatisfaction of some, like our
friend whose note we have published, we shall
continue to notice the Know Nothings as we
may think they deserve, either to commend or
censurc them.

and so fercely did it rage that it
seemed to affect all who visited that region.
One Of our citizens, largely interested in our
Railroad, visiting Fayetteville, caught the COM
tagion and on his return earnestly urged the
proposition to abandon our charter and con-
struct Plankroad
Well, the Legislature, as il always is, was
disposed to crafty the people Of Fayetteville.
An act was passed chartering "the Fayette-
vile and Western Piank-road Company" the
State taking threc-ffths Of the stock This
road has gone into successful operations part
Of it at least--and, we are glad to learn, is do
ing profitable business, the stock paying eight
per cent.
But long before Railroads or Plankroads were
thought Of, the State was anxiously engaged IN
efforts to improve the navigation Of the Cape
Fear River, and for that purpose some forty
years ago chartered the "Cape Fear and Deep
River Navigation Company" How much
stock the State took We do not know but the
funds were expended without doing much good

The COsT OF Waffle estimates
for the English army and navy for the
year 1886 have just been published.
The total amount required for the ar
my is upwards Of $50, 100000. The
increase un the year 1854 is about $50,
00O, 900. The total increase provided
for is 50,S19 men aud 2,6l0 horses.
The navy estimates for the same Pc
Rod, including transports, amount to
something like serenty-niae millions d
dollars. Oh this, about one third-R5,
lSl ,465--is required for transport SER
vice and prisoners Of war. These cs-
Inmates are based on employing in the
service $3.50 seamen, 10000 boys,
and $1,000 marines which, with their
officers, will make an effective naval
force Of 10000 Of ali ranks.
Thus We find that tie Government
contemplate having engaged IN the wal
during tie opening year no less than
365, 591 men Of all ranks 10 both the
services, land and sea, and that the
sum necessary TO support aud render
efficient this body Of men and tie ship.
70 BE- manned BY them, for a single
year, will b. more than one hundred
and thirty.eight millions OF dollars
Such is the cost Of war in dollars and
cents Tor single year; o. rather sucl
is tie estimated cost. Cor the actua
cost will in the aggregate doubles,
greatly exceed these estimates.
