This subject naturally reminds us of an occur
renee in Baltimore, which, according to the state
ment of Democratic Senator of Mississippi, (Mr.
Adams gave rise to the American Order. He
informs US that proposition was made to one Of
the candidates for Mayor in the city of Baltimore,
that in case be was elected, he would agree to ap-
point to certain Offices in the gift of the Mayor,
certain individuals whose names were mentioned,
that he should have the whole foreign and Catholic
vote. But the candidate refused to make any such
corrupt bargain--and sure enough, he was beaten
by his opponent After the Inauguration of the
successful candidate, it was observed that all or
nearly all of the persons mentioned, were appointed
to the offices specified. Intelligence of these facts
spread like wild fire through the city. They were
investigated and found to be too true and resulted
in arousng the Native American sentiment of the
BatimoreaDs to fever heat and in the birth and
organization OF Tue SOCdileu AHOW NObnlD3S.
''This statement" says the Memphis Enquirer,
ass vouched for by as reliable and truthful gentle

Democratic Senator from the State of Mississippi"
But, Mr.. Editor, before we close this article, we
must prove by good Democratic testimony, that
your neighbor Eastman is most inveterate joker.
In proof of this, take the following
From the Nex York National Democrat, July 81.
Fun in Tennessee
The Nashville Union is good Democratic paper,
and a most inyeterate joker. 1t pretends to sup
pose it necessary to defend the Administration in
order successfully to contend against the Know
Nothings in Tennessee. Whereupon it gets off the
following;
"But then, Mr.. Pierce has appointed Abolition
lists aud Secessionists to Office. Who advocates
Abclitionism holding Office under Mr.. Pierce? Who
Secessiong Who? Name the man advocating
either, now holding Office Give US the letter. the
speech, the time and place; and remember, it
must bear date subsequent to his appointment. =
Give US the name of an Abolitionst or
Secessionst in Office"
OF course the Nashville paper knows as well as
we, that the names of two thousand persons hold
ing Office under the Pierce Administration can be
given, in the single State of New York, all OF whom
are what they cali Aboltionists down in Tennessee
and who do not deny their opinions, either. The
audacity of its joke can therefore be estimated.
The Nashville paper has another equally audacous
one in the same paragraph, in which it denies that
Martin Van Buren, is friend to the leading doc
trines of its party, and actually asserts that the
ex-President is an Abolitionst. And this, while it
knows chat Mr. Pierce and his Secretary of State
constantly counsel and take advice from the Van
Burens, that some of the family are favored visitors
at the White House, and that the word Of the
Van Burens goes infinitely further with the Cabinet
than that of Cass Douglass, or any other National
( Democrat. The Nashville paper is a terrible prac
teal joker. -
Here is matter which ought to be well consid
cred by the readers of the UItion unless they pre-
fer fasehood to truth, and rather be imposed on
than not. Yours, truly, A.
