ample to shakefthe hoary thrones of,mon- !.

constant dangers Of foreign invasion. and
poorly able to defysthe aggressions Of
foreign enemy. These results prove the
wisdom Of our fathers in resisting the at
tempts OF the British King to prevent i'm
grafton into the colonies. and illustrate
the soundness Of the policy which has en-
acted liberal naturalization laws and given
encouragement to foreign immigration.
1t cannot be said that the character Of
our population has deteriorated under the
process of the .intermingling Of races and
bloods from Immigration. Does any ma.
tive.born citizen feel that he is the worse
for having an intermixture Of foreign
blood coursing through his veins ? Are
the ten millions who have such blood
possessed of less energy, less enterprise.
less intelligence, less love Of country, or
less devotion to republican institutions,
because their ancestors came from Ireland,
or Scotland, or England. or France, or
Germany, and have mingled their blood
with that of the Pilgrims Of the North or
the chivalry Of the South Are they
not as thoroughly Americanized and re-
pnblicanized as tlfe seven millions who
trace no foreign blood in their veins p
The answers to these questions will put
to shame the warfare which know>noth>
ingism is waging upon the policy of our
fathers. 1t is not simply warfare up
en- the two-millions aud half Of foreign
born citizens diffused throughout the
Union, identified in interest with our in>
stitu!iOnS. connected by the closest ties
with native-born citizens. engaged in in-
dustral pursuits which add to the national
wealth aud prosperity, leveling mountains
and filling up valleys for our great inter
nal Improvements. telling the forests and
spreading the area of productive agricul-
ture in the far West, shouldering their
muskets when the tocsin of war sounds,
and fighting and dying bravely on the
battlefield by the side OF native Ameri.
cans-a warfare upon such body Of men
is bad enough in all conscience but the
warfare Of know-nothingism is against the
principles on which our revolution was
started and was consummated-again
the policy migrated upon our constitution
and carried out by liberal naturalization
laws in Congress, and against the pros
perity Of the nation. which has received
one Of its chief impulses from this policy.

Nh. CooPEK-Dear Sir I'll see from
your last paper that one of the defeated
Know Nothing candidates for the Legi-
lnture in this county. in speech nj Ran
dolph Court, shortly after the election,
eNhorted the Know Nothings to modify
their Platform md re- organizc for the
spring canvass. in order that none but
Know Nolhings should be elected 10 any
county Office, from the smallest 10 the
greatest. And from q movement made at
Milford on last Saturday. under the lead
Of this distinguished dcfnnct Know Moth
ing. there is reason to believe that this
proscriptive mandate originated in the
KnowNothing Council in the town Of
rksburg, and that Mr.. Harrison IS the
authorized organ OF that owlish association,
Now, sir, this is a novel proposition, and
il carried out, will be the commencement
Of new era in the history Of politics in
this country; but If the Know Nothing
Council OF Clarksburg will have it so, |
he, re the Democracy will pl eparc and meet
the issue. Though the dark lantern par
ty, Of which Mr.. Harrison is the ClarkS,
burg mouth piece, has numbered but few
days, or months at most. Of its own exist
ence. yet it is thought that its past histo.
ry in this county will develop sufficient
truths connected with its practical work
ings, at least, to cause the people Of our
county to ponder well "before they fur
Their co." Since this remarkable speech
by this most remarkable man has made
its appearance, inquiries have been made
from many quarters. to know who. apd
how many, Of the present county officer,
Of this county are Know. Nothings, and
when they joined the organization. But
it is particularly desired that our people
should be informed how many OF the pres
ent County Court are connected with that
Order-what is the amount Of the county
levy for this year. and how it compares
with the levy for the last few preceding
years. How many Of the overseer, Of Tho
poor are Know Nothings. aud what's tho
amount Of poor tax to be paid this year by
each tithable in the county. and how il
compares with former years. lListhouxht
that UGH an investigation Mt this timo
might be both interesting and instructive.
Will you or some OF your correspondents
be kind enough to furnish the people OF
our county with the facts and figures ask.

two from Iowa. three from Rhode Island ,
three from Connecticut and three from
Wisconsin.
These met at the Girard House, when
J. w. Foster, OF Massachusetts,, present
ed an address 10 the people. which was
adopted and signed by all the seceders.
after which, a committee Of correspon-
dence, consisting of one delegate from
each State. named above. was appointed
The address says the ceceders feel
constrained, in the existing state Of af-
fairs. to affirm the following principles
First-The unconditional restoration Of
the time honored compromise, known as
the Missouri prohibition, which was de-
stroyed in utter disregard Of popular will.
And we will use all constitutional means
TO maintain the positive guarantee OF this
compact.
Second-The rights Of settlers in the
territories to the free undistuTbed cxer-
else of the elective franchise And we
|
in the correc ion Of these national wrongs.
Third-We declare our continued and
unalterable determination to use all hon
orable efforts 10 secure modification of
the laws, aided by such an elevation ui
public sentiment as shall preserve the in,
terest Of the nation and guarantee spiritu-
al freedum-a free Bible and free schools.
FourLh-rhaL we invoke any Irgisla-
ton to arrest the growing evil Of the ex-
portNtion, by forci gn auth ority Of paupers
and convicts to our shores and that as
the national constitution requires the
Chief Executive Of the country to be OF
native birth, We deem it equally impor>
tant ard necessary that our representa-,
tives abroad should also possess no foreign
prejudces to bias their judgment or infu-
ence their official action.

The Foreign Vote In the Eleotion.


That sort Of philosophy which consoles
itself 10 calamity by Specializing ON tho
causes OF miscarriage. has been striking
ly illustrated by the Know Nothing jour
malls since the election in this State, Mar
velous is the ingenuity which they display
in suggesting explanations Of their defeat.

avoid any alIusion to its obvious cause.
We are not so malignant as to grudge

It becomes graver matter, and we must
