Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1855-08-03

The Herald OF Friday comes ont with q talk
nay with several talks about people coming oct from
the secret order, and forth and furthermore pro-
claims with all the emphasis of italics, that the
American party > will never forget certain things
against the Journal Meier is long time, and if the
Herald chooses to proclaim eternal yindctiveness
the character OF it's party the character of its
own feelings as an organ thereoft voluntarily
for itself and its party about bad character the
worst enemies of both could attribute to them.
The Herald is as usual q long ways off from the
fact, when it imputes to the Journal any change of
tone towards the Know Nothing schemes their in
terested originaors and promoters. Every day but
deveopes some fact, calculated to add force and
confirmation TO every word we have said about BOTH
and we have nothing to take back upon that score
| We have always believed that good men and true,
| had been got into the order, and to them we
have addressed and do address ourselves. VS. have
spoken, not TO the deceivers, but TO the deceived
Good and true Democrats have been carried ill., but
they can't stay in. 1t is not the place for theEa end
they know it, and no denunciatons talk of "tra-
tors and " Judas - prevent them, or la
ter, from coming out from the concern They cam
not stay in it without becoming partners in its con-
demnation-a condemnation which it is certain to
ceve even from those who help TO swell lis ranks
The thing is rapidly passing away, and the Herald
had better be economical of its threats of
forgetting and all that must not draw 100 heavy
drafts which will not be honored
The little attempt has, before this, been made to
try and keep people in the X. N. ranks by telling
them how much they have been abused. We alluded
some time since in terms of merited severity TO the
IL -cck ~; c. Tr5o
qkas Ned Buntline and others an Immediately, the
Herald here bounced upon the language we had
used with direct reference to these orginaors of de-
ceptive schemes, and endeayored TO create the i'm
preston that we denounced every man who may
have been deceived. 1t is because we believe
sincerely that the order, as an institution, is jus
about dangerous in it's tendencies. and as tyranca
and unus6able in Its operations, as an institution
could possibly be made, that We ask high minded
patriotic who have gone into it, from the ranks
of both parties, to come out from it and be ndepen
dent We appeal 10 none Others and we urge nj
other consideratlons-we don't want man to com
out from any other motives. The man who honestl,
and conscentiously feels that while he remains il
the order he remains in position which is Opposes
to his principles and cOnvictons-which '>rces hin
to act against the best interests of his country Will
it letters his independence as a. man-that man
bound sooner or later to and neither threat
nor fummery will keep him in.
The following is the respectful language in whic
the Commercial refers to those who choose TO re
nounce allegiance to the oath bound association an
go back to their old parties
1t will only happen to them according the proven
when they shall have returned like the dog to his vom
and the washed to her wallowng in the mirs
: We really think the editor Of the Commercial ough
l. not to be SO hard upon people and parties AH tn
parties are among his old friends he has tried ther
all IN turn 1t is true they all proved something
the vomlt order, and would not stay down with hin
= People certainly have as much right to come out
l. an order that they find different from what it ha
lbeen represented, as you have to go all around tb
