We have for months been endeavoring TO show
those honest but misguided men who still cling 10
Know Nothingism, that their leaders were only
awaiting opportunity TO betrqy them, if they
could thereby attain their own selfish desires. Ma
ny were reluctant to believe this, but events are
transporting daily which must force conviction upon
every candid mind.
The American Organ" at Washington and
Hon. John Minor Bolts, backed by a number of
the members of the Order in Virginia, have for
some time been diligently at work TO the end that
the twelfth section of the Philadelphia Platform
should be removed. The American Organ" open
ly saws;
1--WE have declared first, that the 18th plank is
of no practical ice to the SOUTH and second, that
unless modified, it will divide aud destroy the Amer
lean party"
The Richmond ewing" * n has been fight
ing manfuly against the proposition OF the Organ"
and says emphatically:
ave can have no fellowship with nor faith in,
any party at the South, which recommends
aud endorses the policy Of ignoring the great aud
vital question Of sltvery."

in the election of Speaker OF the House, and nov
Southern men are paving the way for still further
submission to them in the Philadelp hia National
Council. That concession will be demanded 10y the
Northern X. Ms, is certain, and we caution South
men to watch the action OF their delegates, and
hold them to a strict responsibility.
We bsseech Southern Know Nothngs who have
any regard for Southern interests and rights TO look
candidy at facts as they exist, aud govern them
selves as honest and intelligent men.
