Captain Albert Pike the poetpoltcian and travelling
orator Of the know-nothngs has recently undertaken the
delicate and difficult task of adapting the an-Catholc
plank of the Philadelphia platform to the platform manu-
featured by the know-nothings Of Louisiana in their State
council What amount OF success he likely to meet
with may be inferred after perusal of the following ar
,iee which we copy from the louisiana Courier
.Capt pike was one OF the committee Of thrtytwo who
drew up the Philadelphia know nothing platform He
he was and entirely satisfied with it, except little OF the
phaseology the introductory part ohe eighth section

Rayner the Carolina sage the hafdozen words IN the be-
ginning Of ,hat article were prexed He attempted in his
speech last Wednesday night 10 explain the difference be
tween the clause committee had and the clause
when modified by Rayner. We could not see much dier-
ence and from declaration that be was for the
platform and the whole PLATFORM we presume ne sues hiue

very well wit the part that devolved
upon Captain Pike He has been several days in this city
the principal part OF the time engaged in persuadng the
nothngs this city that they cannot do better than to
accept the Philadelphia resolutions He thanked the late
State convention for their prudent and discreet course with
the Cahoctest clause and for part have
little doubt that Captain Pike dictated that part Of the
Louisiana platform He tells the knownobings here that
he does not like the national platform altogether lie knows
members Of the order here do not ke and hence
policy setting with that declaration. He next goes

OF the order think it is pity to lose Louisiana when little
nanag will it into line in support Of their
leading principles.
But he and they have mseonceiyed the spirit of this
State Neither Catholics those whose intimate friends

them Could any heal the wounded pride of insued

FaoN MExICo BY an arrival at Charleston
from Havana, We learn that the British steamer
Clyde arrived there on the 9Th inst. In six
days from Vera Crus, bringing advioes six
days later than those by way of New Orleans.
Everything indicates the speedy fall Of Santa
Anna. Morero's disaftction and sub sequent
capture and execution were all fabulous, got
up to entrsp Alvares.
Col. Bires was recently discounted at Ca
jores, and his whole regiment dispersed by the
revolutionists; those attempting to recross
Popsgaugo river were drowned
Gov. Maxine 0rtes, whilst on tho march
from Itchinean to Tehuantepec, fell into an
ambuscade, and his whole force of six hun.
dred were nearly snnihilated.
The accounts from the south are favorable
to the cause Of the revolutionists. Alvares is
superior in Guerrero, and the opinion lie uni
versal that Santa Anna will be obliged to fly
1t is also evident that the Allied Powers have
stimulated tho Mexican internal connections
to bring Mexico on the other side and identify
her with Cuba.
