/ Great Britain was the true and sole cause Of
Lafayetts's incarceration in German dungeon.
IT was done at that tyrant's special request We
can, therefore, easily account for the uneaSiness
Indicated at man SO bonored, aud who had so
large share IN the battles OF our indedpen-
dence, coming hther as the messenger of amity
and peace
The hatred of Lafayette in England is one of
the best foundations upon which to insure him
credit. The writer OF this article heard Corn
wallis IN the remote region of Bengal utter an
ejaculation at the misiorunes OF Lafayette that
tornunflis, who is so extaled for virtues, one
oi which he does not possess, either in private
or in public, said, on hearing of his unhappy
situation ePoh I'm glad of 1t: Pm glad Of it,
that fellow, always meddling in troubled waters,
is now paying for American adventures; | wish
they'd hang him - was uttered to Colonel (now
Generall Mnsgrave, in the hearing of more than
twenty persons, several of whom afterwards ex-
pressed their contemp; for the liileness and un-
soldierly temper which it betrayed.

Correspondence Of the Lancaster Iafeligencer.
The campaign in Kentucky is beginning TO
wax warm, and the excitement is running high.
Hundreds are daily leaving the dark-lanttrn
order, aud by the day Of election they will BE-
lew and far between, who acknowledge their
connection with such corrupt and anti-Amer-
ican bandItti. The Louisville Courier-ta few
weeks since the organ of the Know Nothing
party of Kentucky)-haS Withdrawn all con-
nectlon and support from the order, and now
daily ''pitcheS in'' 10 the midnight gang with
all the bitterness and sarcasm It's editor
command. II SAYS the Know Nothing war upon
the Catholic religion is war upon American
Freedom, and the columns Of that journal can
never be- used for such crusade. And as to
the political bearings of Know NothingiSm, the
Courier notwithstanding its rditor was one
of the first, in the State, TO pull the wool over
The eyes Of It's readers, and help build up the
foul intoleranl, proscriptiye, anti-christian and
unconstitutional order, thus delivers himself in
Withdrawing from the party he assisted in Civ
ing life and notoriety. The editor says:
"The political bearings of know-Nothingism
are intolerant, bigoted, proscriptive, and de-
nomcaI. They sharpen the dagger for every
one who either cannot, or will not pronounce
Shibboleth according 10 their method. But we
cannot help believing that when the people
come TO understand the intolerani, proscriptivt,
and prosecuting principles and practices OF these
enemies of civil and religious liberty, they will
sweep their present organization from political
existence, as the often sweep away uncomfortable
evils. All men who claim TO be free should
show their freedom by breaking the collar these
men have fastened on their neckS."
