Tribune:
The Know Nothings may possibly have,
some secrets, but it is not one Of them that
the leaders Of the Order earnestly desire to
make it stand on that platform Of inlifer r.

hostility to the pa.riarchal policy. The
Louisville Journal seems to be in hopes that
the Know Nothing body NAV accomplish
that mighty feat in trying which its predc.
cessors and rivals have broken down. That
Journal bases its cheering antfcipations on

Know Nothing party was held a few days
