The FINAL PRooF-We copy from the National
Intelgencer the following statement, which we
commend to the digestion of Southern Know-Noth-
ings:
q Northern Raoto-N othings-The Committee of
Correspondence of the American party in twelve of
the Northern States have issued an address, recon-
mending that national Convention of the party as
semble at Cincinnati on the 21st day of November
next. The Committee desire to represented in
this Convention all who opposed to the viola
ton of national faith by the reckless sundering of
sacred Lational compacts and who are in favor OF
thnAnconditiona restoration OF that hme-honered
Compromise know as the Missouri Prohibition,
which was Destroyed in utter disregard of the popu-
lar villa wrong no lapse of time can palate, and
no plea for its continuance can justify"
Will this satisfy them of the guilt of their associ
ates at the North? Well do we remember how the
defeat of the Know Nothing party in Virginia
attributed to the conduct of Massachusetts, and the
Hiss Legislature, and with what savage looks South
ern Know-Nothings turned upon them in conse-
quence Most cruel was so to PROSTATE the party
in the first Southern State in which it had raised its
banner-But Massachusetts, only lead where others
were eager follow and from her intense and deep
dyed tanaticsm, public sentiment at the North has
taken all its character. And now what has become
of the Philadelphia Platform, the harmony it aimed
to secure the great reforms it proposed to accom-
plish ?-Instead of convention in the City of Broth
erly Love- another Convention is to be held in Gin
cinnat where, in the pure atmosphere of Abolition,
all the nonsense of foreign and Catholic influence is
to be forgotten, and the Americans" that "sha rule
America" are to plot and determine against the
rights and institutions of the South. What con-
clusion to the great Know-Nothing party, which,
having arisen upon the ruins, and in spite of the
opposition of the Wing and Democratic parties"
was to above their follies and, in "suppresson
of all tendencies to political division founded on ge-
ographcal discrimination" promised peace to the
Union and security to the South. How Notifying
think that Southern men, after all their bitter
periences, could have been duped by such shamel

PRINCETON, n. y. Sept. II, 1855.
There well nigh came to be riot here last night
the more strange because of the remarkable quie-
tude of college affairs up to this time. AS was
about to dsrobe for bed, sudden cangor of tin
horns burst upon my ear, as if the town was inva-
ded by secret host, moving amid the darkness

dents had turned out to amuse themselves sauting

doubt whether, since the creation, the capacity of
tin was unfolded, or the power of the lungs
pair of bellows, astonishngly tested. The
students would soon have exhausted themselves,
but the vigilant Mayor gratuitousy interfered
and a constable undertaking to arrest of the
performers on the horn, was unceremoniously kuock
ed down by stawart student from Alabama. This
intamed the crowd, and a general melee ensued
heightened by the we'll known cry ofthe students

night. To-day the subject will be investigated AS
usual feeling of embittered hostility exists be-
tween the towns-people and the College, but no
further disturbance is anticipated Liquor, for once

the fray, and the eeute itself must answer for this
