INANUTsaELL,


The only fact which the know nothing papers
use to deaden the force of the election, by their
noi thern associates are of an exclusively abolition
delegation to Congress, is, that SAwARDand GRrELr
is opposed to know nothingism. They cannot
show that know-nothingism is hostile to aboii-
tionism, but they do show that some half-dozen
abolitionists are hostile to know nothngism THIS
fact is Of no conses uence at ALL when 1t Is see"
that the great body of the abolitionists are KNOW
nothings and that the few abolitonists who oppose
the secret order do it upon the ground that kno"-
mo- h;ngism ia so monstrous absurdlty that 1t
will speedily kill of any party or politicians COM
United to it.
The Murffeesboro Netcs presents the argument
in q nutshell, and we adopt its article. 1t is as
true as it is happily expressed;
SHORT ANSWER TO Lone ARGUMENT There
IS nothing TO be found in the published creed of the
know nothing party which proves them less friend
ly to ireesoi doctrines than aboionists them
selves There is nothing apparent, in the result OF
the elections in which they have been successful,
to show that the party is not in favor Of abolition
ism. The only argument against the conclusion TO
be drawn from these facts is to be found IN long
winded articles, not from the pens OF Northern
members OF the party, but written by Southern
know nothings who assert that the party is not an
abolition party because Seward, Greedy and others
who are known as abolitionis!s have not united
with it.
All this twadlle about the opposition OF Seward
and Greedy to the know nothngs is satisfactorily
answered by brief presentation OF facts as they
exist. If the know nothings are too mean, and
some OF their doctrines too Inonstrous Tor Seward
aud Greedy, yet the facts show that the doctrines
of Seward and Greedy are quite agreeable to the
know nothings
Msherned could not perform the miracle of ma
king the mountain come to him, but he could per-
form the feat of going to the mountain. Ii the
know nothngs could not induce Seward TO cometo
them they found no difficulty in going to Seward
there was no sacrifice OF principle in that
Though we admit for the sake OF argument that
! the know nothings are too mean for such nen as
| 5eward and Greedy to become identified with, yet
the election of William H. Seward by know no
thing votes show conclusively that it was all easy
matter for them to support him. If he does not
| belong to them, they belong to hun, and he can
join the order should il become necessary.

We saw the contribution OF Ne10 Pills, from the
laboratory Of DR.. j. G. AVER, the author Of the

As it's againstthe express regulations of the Palace
to admit any quack medicines, this fact shows that
his remedies are not placed in that category by

PROGRESS OF TIE NEW ORDER.

fhOUhESS Of THE NEW OhDEh.
We have all along predicted that the fanatical
element awakened by this proscriptive association,
ud in the end be directed against other religious
societies besides the Catholics; but we did not
anticipate SO early development Of its inevitable
tendencies.
The Methodists, it seems, are already singled
out by portion of the order for similar fate with
Catholics.
pamphlet has lately been published at Tren-
ton, N. D., under the auspices of the secret order
at that place, the purpose of which IS to show
that Methodsm ought not to be tolerated IN a-iree
countryl
Arguments similar TO those employed against
the Catholic organization are applied to them.
We publish single extract from this extraordi-
nary production, as we find it in the public prints.
Whose turn will come next? May not the "God
dess OF Reason Soon become the object OF their
alteration, as IN the days Of Robesplerre and
Matat
have thus briefly shown that Episcopal Meth
ooliE IS antl-American in its spirit and tendency
and that it is dangerous foe TO republicanism.
have shown that it had it, origin in usurpatlon-
that Its very organization provides for the support
and extension of assumed power; and this power
may be oppressvely exercised without restriction.
have shown that Methodist Episcopacy contains
IN itself the very elements of an absolute despot-
ISM and therefore must ultimately, unless checked
subvert and destroy our republican Institutions
In doing this, have uttered no harsh epithets.-
have insnuated nothing against the seripturaness
OF the Methodist doctrine, or the piety and godi-
ness of Methodist members ! have simply spoken
OF the government of the church. | have spoken
as an American citizen and call on every true
American in the Methodist Episcopal Church to
use his influence to effect radical reform in this
matter. The time hes come when Americanism
and Romanism are arrayed in hostile attitudes. Re-
member that you are not prepared to stand by
Americauism while you subjects of a hierarchy
The taunt will come with irresistible force from
the vasalS of the Pope rs depohsn any more sim
ful or dangerous in the Romish Church than in the
Methodist" Oh! then be Americans be freemen
throw off your ecclesiastical chains and then you
viii be prepared consistently to aid your fellow
countrymen ia breaking the yoke of ecclesiastical
despotism with which Rome has bound her ignor
ant degraded sutiecls.
