The organ Of The Know Nolhugs in the

who has done every job Of dirty work for the

The Know Nothing who was caught deal
ing out their ticket with the lie that il was
the whole Democratic ticket, was one of this
bob-iaif Fraternity who voted with them at
the delegate election. Al That time more
votes were polled Than there were votes CIV
en- al the general election for The Democratic
nominees, ard yet some 20 true and reliable
Democrats who voted for the Democratic
nominees al the general election were not in
atiedance at the delegate election. The vote
thus detected on this Know Nothing bob-lail
explains who cut The ticket The Demo-
cratic nominees were our friends, and were
supported by the lme Democrats of The dis
tric,. Abou! 90 Of these bob-iails then who
voted at the delegate election went with the
Know No'hines, like the lying knave who
was detected. Iioenty is their full strength.

INDIVIDUAL MANAGEMENT.
VERSUS NATIONAL sIsaAsAcEMExr.

John Bull always priJed himself upon his
superiority. To use the words of Sam Slick,
an Enelshman thinks ''tha, when nature
formed him she broke the mould there
never was, never can, and never will be
another like him."
No country has more reason to lie proud
of her mon of business and enierprs;ng
merchants than Great Britain; at The same
no nation has greater need 10 ismsnt the ut.

plo:e the want Of energy which seems TO
pervade every class OF the Queens servants.

Let us now take the case OF an individual
who has earned Tor himself a world. wide
fame-we refer to Professor Holloway. Hav-
ing discovered an efficacious remedy for
nearly "every i'll that flesh is heir to-" he
has by his owa exerlions gradually, but sure
ly, disseminated his remedies through every
part Of the known world. Commencing with
London as his central poiut, he has BY dini

signs OF master mind), made known his
pills and ointment to tho very extremes of
the compass. Whether you travel north, east,
west, OF south, you cannot pick up news
paper that does not record the successes
achieved BY this wonderful aud indslaiiga-
BILE man. There is no instance on record of
any public man having ever approached TO
such worldwide celebrity as has Professor
Holloway. We speak not OF his medicines
a, present, although we have indubiiable
reasons for believing that they have been
proved by thousands TO be invaluable but
of the enterprise aud skill in the system of
advertising pursued by Professor Holloway,
who has thus by perfect knowledge OF bu.
siness, and an enlarged view, succeeded
where thousands have failed, either from
w6nt of judgment or circumcised means.
Take again the Professors extensive read

titudinous mass Of literature, can be imme-

paper he may require, and this, too, gratui-
iously. These readiug.rooms are daily Wis.
tied By Statesmen, merchants, and capital
lists, who can thus acquaint themselves on
