THE PuRlFiCATION OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Recent developments have accumulated such Of
evidence fixing ncontesably upon knownothngism the
closest sympathy with aboltonism that desperate effort
being made impress upon the South the belief that
the order the american party las they seek to
be eaed is undergoing process Of reformation and pu
reation which will establish its claim to nadona
ty The New York Herald at the North, and the Louis
Vile journal the South conspicuous in this effort to
impose upon the South The former relies upon the retu
sal of Governor Gardiner in the removal Of
Judge Lorng evidence that this process Of publication
has commenced even in Massachusetts, What an insult
the Intelligence of southern men, to hold up them
abotonst like Governor Gardiner as the leader in
form which is to naonalize and purify know-nohingsm
The object of this attempt to deceive too transparent to
require any other than merely to say that there
elections pending in the South which Governor Gard
would result in know-nohing triumphs
than to Judge Loring elected from office.
The other organ Of know-nothngism, the Louisville
Journal enters upon the work Of deception with all the
gravity and mock honesty of practsed impostor Feel
ing impossible longer to resist the evidence that the
genius Of antavey has taken possession Of the
organization at the North that journal sets with the
expression of ga deep anxiety that the American party of
the South and the American party Of the North should
ADJUST amieably with each other all Disturbing question.
growing out of slavery be able to act harmon
ousy great national party all future national cleo
tons" ofcourse them the Journal now comedies that
know-nohingsm at the North is tainted with abo-
tonism that it has claims present to nationality But
how is this amicabe adjustment between the northern and
southern knownothngs to be effected How for exam
pie the two sections to harmonic the ugtivesave
law? The Journal takes up this subject the most prom
nen aud proposes platform Of Adjustment which shows
to our mind that the genius Of ant-slavery presdes
eecuay the Louisville Journal over the northern
knownohing organization. We quote the suggestion of
the Journal for amcable adjustment of the disturbing
questions connected with the fgvesave law follows
eve spoke yesterday of the fugvesa law in partcu-
lar and endeavored to show that in all probability the
rovery in regard to between the truly honest patr
otto portions Of the North and South be adjusted without
any sacrifice Of conscience honor interest the part
either Honet patriots In the North desire us
of from the right guaranteed to by the constitution Of
having actual fugitive slaves restored and honest
patriots in the South cannot desire that bound
service should be brought here under ugtvesave Law
end reduced to bondage that slaves should be
cred under the provisions OF law violating the constitution
any just rights of the States Starting
with understanding and for 4 common purpose
the enlightened Of the sections hardly fail upon
full and earnest consultations harmonic in their concu
sons"
We invite southern to examine this plank in the
proposed Mathematical party with care n it means
anything it is proposition to the South agree SO to
modify the fugvesave law that the question Of ownership
shall be tried and settled by jury in the free State where
the slave may be arrested In other words compro-
mise between the northern and southern nohngs the
Journal proposes that the South shall agree that the fup
vesave law shall be modified to sn the wishes OF abo-
ons,s Mark the language Of this southern know-noth
ing reormer Honest patriots in the North cannot desire
TO cut us OFF from the right guaranteed by the cons
tuition Of having actual fugitive slaves restored to usp
Certainly not Who supposed that such honsa pat
riots" as the Summers Wilson's GARDENERS Phpses Garr
son Greeeys and Stewards desire southern man
off from the recovery of his fugitive slaves? All these
patriots desire is that jury trial be given the slave where
he is arrested and them any fugitive turns be
actual Stare they willing that he shall be restored Con-
cedc this to Them and they will take Of the rest and
this is the first step in the process Of reformation and
publication proposed by the southern organ of know
nothingism But the Journal proceeds Honest atrios
in the South cannot desire that not bound
vice should be brought here under gitiveslave law
and reduced to bondage even that slaves should be
recovered under he provisions Of laW violating cor
srrruuoSo Or any just rights Of the non-sispsaoldiag
States Certainly not but does the Journal really mean
to say that there honest patriots in the South who
advocate the present fugveave law because under il
men not bound to service may be reduced to bondage?
this be the insmatio il s caumny upon the law and
upon southern men, which but aboionst could
entertain Or does the Journal to adopt the abo
ton doctrine that the fngitivesave law violates the CON-
sttuton any just rights of non-slaveholdng States
II ,s is not its meaning, comprehend the force
Of the suggestion The result is that the organ of know
nohngism at the South proposes effect smicabe
ustment between the honest patriots Of the North and
the Southwhch honest patriots made up Of the know
nohings Of the two sectonsby adopting the leading
article in the adjustment the abolition view Of the fugitive
slave law For this concession aboonism the know
nothing organ expects the honest paros in the North
make concessions other disturbing question: con-
nec,ed with slavery We leave southern men to make
their comments upon this process Of purifying and
nationaning knownothngism n the "honest patriots"
of the South willing to start out with the understand
ny that the ugtivcsave law may be emssculatsd the
honest patriots Of the North will not object to compro
Mise which will nationalze know-nothingism anti
layery grounds
