the vain show Of patriotism and house

Know. Nathing American newspapers,
have withdrawn from the Nothing
orranizaion. Some Of whom have come
to US anS laid their situations open, and,
with tear trickling down their checks have
asked uK what course they had better
take to I'D themselves ofthe accursed as
sociations They have stated to US that they
have :rica 10 procure cards Of Withdrawals,
but in win, that one officer would send
them 70 another. Theythave thanked us
when they have seen their names in print;
and, raising their lands to heaven, have
thanked God that they are FREEMEN
again. And because we have dared to
publish sTithdiawals, the editors OF the
Republican," having no other means to
defend tie organization, have resorted to
foul Misrepresentation and falsehoods,
and hayepublished black and disgraeeful

nam coubty, Va, wish to state that we
have beef lied to by Abner B. Thomas, a
man in his own estimation, but scoundrel
in ours, That lie Basely misrepresen-
ted the American party in variousways.
And furthermore that we are pretty conf

Now, b comparing the signatures of
the above gard with those published by us,
it will be found that two Of the four names
were NOT abolished in the. Star, and We

man in Pntnam co unity. But the names
resemble those published by us, there is a
gentlemanin this county by the name Of
AMBROSE 4, THoNAs, and we published
