ORIGIN OF Know NoTHINGIsM.-
The papers we're recently discussing
the question of The origin Of know
nothingism. There may be some
question as to who started it, but
there can be none as to who stopped
it. If history ever mentions the
ridiculous humbug, it will record
that the Democratic party in Vir-
ginia, Tennessee, North Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Pennsyl-
vania, Maine, and Indiana, smashed
it in single year. As a political par
ty, it never had any claims to popular
respect, and it has made the poorest
fight ever made against the democ-
racy, by any organization in party
shape.

In New Haven, Conn, where the
Maine law is in operation, the town
liquor agency, established by the law
to sell liquor for medical and me-
chanical purposes, sold the past year
$4,000 worth of the fluid. This
sum would purchase near hundred
hogsheads Of rum Good deal of

Wiskey.-The present price Of
raw whiskey in Louisville according
to the Courier Of that city, is thirty
four cents per gallon, which yields
an enormous profit to the distiller.
He pays thirty cents per bushel for
his corn, (new corn) grinds about
four hundred bushels per diem, which
makes upwards of sixteen hundred
gallons of new whiskey or rather
more than four gallons to the bushel.
Thus bushel of corn costing thirty
cents, yields to the manufacturer
upwards of four gallons of wbiskey,
which, at thirty-four cents per gallon,
amounts to the snug sum of $545
per day. The net profit on this single
days work of converting corn into
whiskey is fully $3.50, or upward Of
$500 per week, provided the work
is suspended on Sunday.

Massachusetts Know Nothingism.

The Know Nothing organs in the
South have ventured to rejoice over
the recent election in Massachusetts,
and even so so far as to represent
Gov. Gardiner as a national man!
Gardiner is not quite SO bad as
Wilson and others; but he is an
open free soiler, opposed to the ad-
mission of Kansas or any slave State,
in favor of the repeal of the fugitive
slave bill, and bolts the Philadelphia
Platform. Here are resolutions pass
ed by the Massachusetts, Legislature
in April ast,which Gov. Gardiner sign
ed ndapproyed, and whichshows what
sort of a man Southern Know Moth
iDgs hug to their bosoms:
Resolved, Inasmuch as there is nei-
Their any power granted to the general
government in the constitution of
the United States for the enactment
Of any law by Congress for the re.
turn of alleged fugitive slaves, nor
any prohibition therein to the States
against the passage of laws upon
that subject, that the fugitive slave
act is a direct violation of the tenth
article of amendments to the con-
of the United States, which
declares that "the powers not delega-
ted to the United States by the
constitution, nor prohibited by it to
the States, are reserved to the States
respectively,o or to thepeople."
RssOlued, That our senators and
representatives in Congress be re-
quested to use all honorable means
to secure the unconditional repeal
Of the fugitive slave act of 1850,
which is hostile alike to the pro-
visions Of the national constitution,
and to the dictates of the Christian
religion, an infraction equally of
'the supreme law of the land" and
IF the "higher law of God in con-
,onance Herewith.

News from Europe.
Arrival OF ssffk the Steamer
"A ~H NE
HALIFAX, Dec. Is.

IIALfrAA, LEU. 10
The Asia arrived this morning with
Liverpool dates of the 9Th instant.
Affairs in the Crimea are unchanged.
The papers furnish no remarkable
events there. Rumors Of peace are
still abundant but unauthentic. Con-
soils went up on the strength of these
rumors. Cotton steady, prices I'M
changed, sales of the week $4,000
bales. Spectators and exporters
took 900 bales; breadstuffs gen.
orally quiet; Western Canal Flour AS
| Cd. Provisions quiet and rates I'M
changed; weather favorable for crops;
Consols are quoted at 9O5; the Bull
ion in the Bank of England had in
creased during the previous week
EST, 900.
The English papers are filed with
rumors of peace, but their declaration
is totally at variance with the CONT
mental press. The London Times as
serts that peace is at hand-that Aus
tria is about to address an ultimatum
to Russia, summoning her undert threat
of breaking negotiations with her, to
accept such conditions as the Western
Powers now assent to. There are
various reports of an attempt at ne
gotiation, but the state Of affairs is ap-
parently at a stand.
Austria has made communication
to France, embodying the terms
which she is prepared to propose to
Russia. The terms are a great ad-
vance upon any yet offered; but they
are the terms of Austria, not of Rus
sia. Austria does not guarantee to
join the Allies if the ultimatum is re-
ijected, but will suspend relations with
Russia.
The London Times says positively,
that the treaty with Swedenis signed.
Private letters from st. Petersburg
indicate no desire on the part of Rus
STA for peace.
Advices from the Crimea state,
weak fires are kept up. Nothing i'm
portant has occurred.
The North side of Sebastopol is
rapidly assuming gigantic proportions.
Preparations are making for destroy
ing the docks. The bulk of the Rus
sian army returned to its former po-
sition.
Both the Allies and the Russians
are receiving reinforcements.
The Russians continue to threaten
Kertch, which has been largely rein
forced.
The Imperial Commercial Bank at
Odessa has failed.
A despatch from the Baltic of the
9th states, that the united Squadron
was passing the bell, homeward bound
A Russian grand council of war is
to be held at st. Petersburg to settle
the plan of defence of the coast from
the Bothnia to the southern exhemi-
ty of Asia.
There are unconfrmed rumors that |
the Russians have taken Kars.

amending 18th section, 18th chapter,
of the Code of Virginia, as to admit
testimony of negroes against white
persons charged with the abduction
or attempt to ab6uct slaves from the
Commonwealth, when said persons so
charged shall be citizens of such

The Sound Dues.

The Journa. Of Commerce on this
subject, furnishes an explanation Of
what Denmark means BY the capital
ization Of the sound dues. 1t ap-
pears that the annual average receipts
Of sound dues on merchandise lex
elusive Of legitimate taxes,) amount
to 2,l03,500 rix dollars, which capt.
talized at 5 per cent, or twenty
years purchase, would procure 49,
070,0O0 rix dollars, or little less
than S3O,OO0,OO0 United States
currency. Of this sum Russia is
expected to pay 20 per cent, or
$8,7OO,000; Great Britain the same
amount; Prussia IL per cent, or
IS3,600,000; France 3 per cent, or
100000; Norway l per cent, or
100000; Hamburg and Bremen
about S250,0O0; the United States
about $250,OO0, etc. The amount
which would have to be paid by the
United States is very nearly the
same as was actually offered by this
Government some time ago, as a
gross payment to Denmark, if A.
merican vessels might thenceforth pass
and be permitted to enter the Baltic
free from toll; but the Court of Co
penhagen replied to the effect stated
in the present circular, that "such an
arrangement could not be carried out
without the simultaneous concurrence
of all the respective Powers. The for
NAL and positive engagements which
exist between Denmark and the other
Powers with regard to the sound dues
do not allow Of any special arrange
ment on that subject between Den
mar and any other Power" The
proposal now made probably intend
ed to meet the wishes of the United
States, at the same time that it in
vites the other Powers to join in an
arrangement which it may conceive
to be virtually the same as was once
proposed by our Government.
