parties, have Joined Know Nothingsm, In at ex-
phiDg effort to be something-to rule OF ruin the
country, by ssppiug the very foundations Of tbs
government in its present form, BY ignoring civil
and religious liberty; In short, they are striving
to return to the dark ages Of the Inquisisiop,
the rack, the stake aud the guil!otine. But
