From the Daily Journal, 18th inst]
Yeste rday afternoon Warren Winslow, Esq, the
Democratic candidate for Congress, IN this DlsIrct'
addressed his fellow citizens of New Hanover County
at the Court House The audience was very large
and intelligent one, the building being crowded to
an unpleasant degree Taking it for granted thatthe
principles Of the Democratic party are too well known
to require reinstatement at this late day. and that the
only contest now is between that party and the new
secret ORDER MIR. Winslow proceeded 10 dissection
of that order similar in its secresy and dangerous
tendencies to The Jacobin Clubs of Paris showed
that, however excusabe, or even Jushhaoie' sucn
things might be under the jealous eye OF tyrant'
thew were beneath the dignity of American treemen,
AMI that no man fully deserved that name who either
feared or was unwilling TO act openly IN the face OF
day He then proceeded to characterize It's sectaran
bgotry and prescription, in language fully in accord
ance with the eloquent remarks made in the Constl'
tutional Convention of 1885, by Hon. Kenneth Ray
ner the present High Priest of Know. Nothingism in
North Carolina Mr. Rayner then declared that he
came to that Convention mainly with view of hav-
ing the last remnant of religious intolerance stricken
from the Constitution Of the State. 1t had been said
that the Roman Catholics of this country owed tenn
pora allegiance 10 the Pope, and therefore, could not
be true and loyal citizens of the United States By
whom was this said ?-by whom all this new
born zeal for Protestant civilization" exhibited .
who had, all of sudden, become such zeal
Gus missionaries of Professionalism Why disap-
pointed office hunters, cross road and pot-house poll
ticians And has it this, that Protestant faith
and Protestant civilization is forced to call in such
agencies to sustain it? No, thousand times, no.
Truth will vindcate itself, and It's progress can only
be retarded by resort to persecution against its op
ponents He would balance the rampant assertions
Of these new crossroad politicians in regard TO Cath
ole allegiance to the Pope by pointing to own
roll of CarrolltoD, all Catholics, and all Indignantly
repelling such an idea 1t was for the people to
Judge between VIM. CASTOR and David Reid, Senator
Wilson and CHARLES Carroll, Ned Buntline and Gil
bert Lafayette. Were he a Catholic, as he is Pro-
testant he could desire nothing more to promote the
growth of Catholicism than the opportunity which
the Know Nolhngs afford the members of that de-
nomination TO raise the cry of persecution And on

ton were crushed, who could pretend TO say that,
crushing once commenced, the thing would stop
there! Who would feel safe ? What other denom-
nation might not next be submitted to the inqusltorl-
a! process 1t is time to pause.
Mr.. Winsow next spoke of the demoralizng ten
denotes of the orderof it's interference in the busi
ness and social affairs of lifeof the constant es-
ponage which it kept up He read the K. n oblga-
ton TO obey the majority of the council in matters
political and social and stated that far this
carried in his county, that drays at the landing
must be Know Nothing drays" or they couldn't
get load Without wishing at all 10 influence the
vote Of his opponent Col Reid, but merely by way
of illustration, he would mention a fact which
exhibited the unfarness 10 which the discipline OF
the order allowed or perhaps required its members
to resort. While the last Legislature was in ses-
sion it was believed that the interests of the people
called for the creation of one judicial circuits
in addition TO those already in existence. He, Mr.
Winslow) with other personal friends of Col. Reid'S
having confidence in the legal ability of that gentle
man, used all their influence to promote him TO the
high office of Judge, in such an office had beer
created. While doing so they found that suspicious
were entertained of Mr. Reds position, he being &C
cused of being Know Nothing, and that they them
selves were subjected to the suspicion, weaken
ing their influence with their party and placing then
in false attitude. Under these circumstances the
Commoner of Dupn wrote 10 Mr.. Reid stating the
position Of things. MIR. Reid replied pledging his
word and honor that he was not Know Nothing
and upon this his friends Indignantly denied hi;
being one, and yet he, Mr.. Winslow, could prove
Der last perhaps calling it by other name bu
meaning exactly the same thing.
EMr Winslow turned 10 the total abolition charac
ter OF the order at the North, where alone it has
any laures worth counting Held Up its dolngs il
every Northern State. Spoke of the case of Anthony
Burns, Fugitive Slave, who was remanded by Judg
