"a The New York papers contain full accounts
of THAT modern Pandemonium of traitors the North
ern Know Nothings, in session there last week and
a portion of this. No man can read these accounts
without being struck with the malignant spirit and
essential meanness of disposition which pervaded
the deliberations of the concern The prominent
actors were Colby, of New Hampshire, Johnston,
of Pa, Conrad of the same State and George Law,
of New York. This man George Law was prom
inent candidate for the Know Nothing nomination
for President in February last but was defeated by
Mr.. Fillmore We give the following as specimen
of his pouoers, from the New York News:
"George Law ofNew York then the floor and receiv
ed great cheers lie said he his gratitude
the adoption Of the report had been for long time
his mind great question to how the North should unite
ing itself around their liberties The members the Con-
venon represented both North and South and he would
to the South that they danger from their
action than from any action of the North. They did
not wish to encroach upon the rights of the South

vention to conclusion which would unite the North
and the whole land. [Cheers He would say to this Com

road and the attention of the Government. He believed
in the principle that free labor be paid by money

He would recommend wagon road California as the
first step to the establishment of Railroad the Pacific
but would like to see them both commenced the same
day. Great laughter He liked wagons and horses for
he used drive them when be had no objection to
the team looking at the load he believed they we're
doing now but if they wanted their they must
trust it to the eemen of the North He would like to see
the coal of Pennsylvania the handspring of the spndes
Massachusetts, its iron railroads. and the lumber of
Maine transmitted with to shpyards This Con-
venon should cast out who willing
with them. This great work which they do would
be accomplished in few days Their road had been rough
heretofore but there would be perfect plain on Tuesday
next Mr.. Law resumed his seat amid loud cheers.
" Live Oak George"
Mr.. Law declares that the " members of the Con-
venton represented the North and the South" We
should like to know what Southern delegates dared
to show their faces in this abolition conclave. Mr.
Laws reference to Tuesday in his speech, meant
that on that day they would have the concurrence
and the aid of the black Republicans assembled in
Philadelphia
These Northern abolition K Ms talk lust rs their
Southern brethren do about Catholics. and abont
Americans ruling America" The only difference
between them that we can perceive is, that the
Northern brigade "-as Mr.. Rayner calls tide.
nounces the Kansas Nebraska act as atrocious :"
and Infamous, while the "Southern brigade I"
sneak of it as a reckless and unwise measure.
