Ancient and Modern Know-Nothingism
COMPARED.

IN examining the offerings and complaints of
The ancient and modern KNOWN -Nothihgs, we find
great similarity between them, 50 much so, that
perfect identity exists almost, except the change
of names ard dates.
TO the old line Wings, they offer the abandon
ment of every time fonored reniniscehce under
which they have rallied In bygone days. They
wish them to slur, slightly over the recollection
of their Czays, and their Websters, and grope quiz
city after Kenneth Raynor, Hiaiam r. Johnston,
or Gmdxa- Of Massachusetts,. They offer to them
the exterrnination of religious liberty, as 'boota
for their conservatism, and the teachings of their
ancient patriotic leaders. N
To the Democratic party, they offer victory
TO be gained, s by the base bowling of the knee tc
the dark spirit Of Samuel by foregoing every
principle that would not only destroy their self
respect men, hut as patriots. They wish them
to abandon all their predictions for their country
and her constitution. To abandon bold and man
ly discussion, and Catalne Ike, adopt midnight
orgies and secret oaths: TO abandon freedom of
thought, freedom:of speech, and freedom Of ac-
ton, and take all these as they May be doled out
to them, by some profigate instructor in their
lodge. ss.s
Eo the emigrant, they /" offer the word of pro-
mise eo the ear, but break it to the hope" They
offer them citizenship, mutilated, marked, crop
ped and stinted.- They offer them freedom from
the tyranny of menaFchs, to be trampled on by
mobs. In fine they offer sthe enligrant, Slavery,
and to the settler, erle
TO the Catholic they offer tolezstien in theory,
persecution in practice. A republic on paper,
mean and dastardly oligarchy in REALITY,
These the substitutes they offer. for the glo-
rious republicanism that has made the American
name honored at home, and respected abroad, SO
much so, that an American citizen had the same
charm attached to it, that the Roman citizen had
in the days of Jugurtha. Bat it is already
slightly furnished in the eyes of the civilized world
by the apathy Of the patriotic people innot crush
ing sooner these conspirators.
What excuse is therein this country, for Know
Nothingisrn None, except the excuse common
to all traitors and conspirators. The same causes
of complain that Catalina had in his republic, tho
same that Benedict Arnold had. We are forcfsly
reminded of the similarity Of the Cataline party,
and Know-Nothing party, at the present
time. That party fourished in the republic of
Rome, xty-two years before the birth of Christ,
and bears most striking resemblance in form
and feature to the present one.
at that Tins party was formed in the repub-

Benedict Arnold was brave and ineritofious

links which connect the men of the Reyolu-

of action. Many of the distinguished patri-

grateful reeollections of my, life, that have
seen him., whose name 1,need not name, for
it is in your hearts, and upon your lips, the

descendents of Adam. It has protected me
from external aggression, from internal vio-

undeserved favor of my fellow-citixens, it has
opened to me positions of public honor, and
confidence to which the circumstances of my
youth, gave me no right to look forward, and
which my brightest day-dreams, that some
times came to soften the harsh asperities of a
frontier struggle, never presented even to my

it has offered to all. Well then may I be
