PRESCRIBING PRESCRIPTION.

We have of late heard frequent COM
plants from Know-nothings of the pro-
scriptive policy of our County Commits
sioners in their appointments to Office.
Now, let us see with how much grace
such complaints come from those who
utter them.
They Qhe Know-nothings) prescribe
everybody outside of the order, and
solely for opinions sake. Their pro-
scription extends, too, not merely to
Offices, but to the common rights of cit
izenship. They prescribe men for their
religious faith, although their political
principles should conform in all respects
to the Know-nothing standard-for their
birth, without regard to character, intel
ligence, or other qualification.
This is not merely theoretical on the
part of the Know-nothings They have
carried their views into practice with a
haste, to show how eager they were to
illustrate this great " American" doc
trine of prescription. Wherever they
have attained political power, the same
result is seen. Constituted as their party
was, they were compelled to confer their
favors upon persons utterly incompetent
for the offices they sought, Or else to re-
ward the shameless treachery of those
who, to secure an office, deserted the
friends to whom they owed their previous
position, without even the pretence of a
change of political views.
These are the men who assail others
for removing their eonfederates from
office. Displaying in their whole course
a disregard for the rights of others, dis
gushing all honorable. opponents by their
gross receptions and infamous falsehoods,
they yet expect to be treated in return
with delicacy and forbearance. We are
glad that they have found, and will con-
tinue to find, themselves disappointed.
They needed to be taught the very lesson
which the Commissioners have kindly
afforded them an opportunity to learn
The Commissioners could have no choice
in this matter; It was a simple duty
which they could not with any sense of
self-respect fail to discharge. To call it
political prescription, suits the purposes
of their enemies, but it is perversion
of the facts from which they have moth
ing to fear. They have but one course
TO pursue, and that is, whenever fol-
lower of Know-nothingism aspires to a
place of honor, trust, or emolument, at
their disposal, to give him an expert
mental knowledge of that stern, Dem
ocratic command, prescription must be
,,raeor;bad - ss.sa-asas-lss--s-

DOW,s PROPHECY.


The Know-nothing papers are pub
fishing a prophecy, purporting to have
been uttered by this eccentric man, to
the effect that in the year 1860 there
would be bloody war between the Pro-
testants and Roman Catholics in this
country, and that the Protcstants would
be victorious These fanatics imagine
that they already see the beginning Of
the ful6lment Of this prophecy, and look
to the coming fall for its sublime con-
summation.
If this Republic were really imperillcd
by Catholicism, as Know-nothingism
claims that it is, is this the way or such
the means to ward off the evil? The
founders of the confederacy foresaw the
danger that might matter times menace
its stability, and, ashley hoped, securely
shielded it from the reasonable designs
of all internal foes tits now discovered
that our forefathers were not the seers
our admiration had credited them to be +;
that the so-much- talked-of " charter of
our liberties" is but ink and parchment ;
and the supposed impregnable barrier it
offers against the ambitious designs Of all
religious dominions and powers" but a
fimsy paper wall. Roman Catholicism,
after having lost its power over the poor,
ignorant masses of Europe, the saeons of
these conclaves now discover in the act of
attempting to usurp the first places Of
this, the first and most enlightened, the
purest and freest nation upon the globe.
And who are these saviours Of the repub-
lie? Who are these who summon
" Israel" not "to her tents" but into
midnight conclaves-into companionshlp
with all the ungodly isms Of the times
Are they not the echoes of the three
thousand preachers" of the North, who
sometime ago appeared at the bar of the
Congress of the United States and at
tempted to intimidate the representatives
of the American people by protesting, in
the name Of Almighty God, against the
passage Of the Nebraska bill. aud claim
ing, by virtue Of their high calling, to
control the legislation of the country
In the darkest days Of ignorance and re-
iigious superstition the world has ever
known, Popcry has never claimed great
er power and now, with unblushing Of
frontery, these men speak with horror of
the temporal po'cer claimed by the Pope,

GS- judging from the public recep-
tons and the warm and generous greet
ings with which the Hon. JAMES Bucn-
ANAN has already been honored since his
recent return to this country, we con-
clude that the public services of this
distinguished statesman are held in the
most lively appreciation of his fellow
countrymen throughout the length and
breadth of the land These honors have
been well-merited In honorine Mr.
BUCHANAN for his long, faithful, and
distinguished services, the people honor
themselves; for no man ever more faith

completely identified with that sentiment
of political action which regards the
Constitution and the Union as one and

4 " With modification we record the
faeS at, during the Whit-bolidays, the
quico of our usually peaceable town was
much disturbed by drunken rowdies,
white and black, principally from the
country. 1t happened that the peace
officers were absent ON business, ofwhich
these miscreants took advantage to in
dulge IN boisterous revelry. Something
must be done to prevent recurrence of
such scenes, and if the police force be
inadequate to the purpose, the citizens
generally should concert and carry out
effective measures to save themselves from
future annoyance. We have heard COM
plants of the remissness of our officers
with regard to the matter; whether well
or ill-founded, we are not prepared to say;
our advice to them, however, is, to give
it their special attention, and if they find
themselves incompetent to the task Of
preserving the peace, to report accor-
dinghy, so that whatever may be deficient
may be supplied.

Es' The Abolitionists of the North
have finally taken a bold and practical
stand. They have gradually yielded to
the universal contempt with which their
proposal to restore the Missouri Compro-
mise has been hailed, and have now taken
broad ground against admitting any more
slave States into the American Union.
This is the new platform.
Those who have observed the rapid
advances of anti-slavery -agitators need
not be astonished to see them taking
ground, the imputation of which, few
years ago, they would have denounced
as infamous and untrue. Nay, at this
time there is a large class of the Abo-
lltionlsts who still deny that they are
ready to assume the hazardous position
OF refusing admission into the Union of
all States, the constitutions of which
recognize slavery. But the decree has
gone forth; the crusade against the in
terests of tho South is to be conducted
on new plan. The States are to be
assalled in their sovereign rights. The
whole idea of the right of self-govern-
ment, recognized in the Constitution, is
TO be destroyed. The enemy, no longer
confined to the territories, and to the
fugltive-slave law, unfurls the flag of
open and direct hostility to one of the
most positive, most solemn, and most
uncontested powers of the Constitution
We have said that Abolition had at last
fallen upon a practical plan of mischief,
and we shall soon see how fast and far
that reasonable element will dare to adj
vance in its unholy and inhuman war
fare.
Abolition, in this, its most ominous
and mostreckless proposition, as sustained
and encouraged by the Knou-aothinqs o,
the country. These Know nothings arc
either silent or cooperating. In one Oh
two Southern States there is a feeble
protest against the monstrous recon.
mendation of the Abolitionists, but gen
orally there is not heard a voice thai
does not acquiesce or approve. 1t is
time that the patriotism of the whole
country should speak out against these
internal plots, when we have it formal,
proclaimed that party has been formed
bent upon the reasonable. purpose of ex
Guiding States who may ask for admis
sion into the Union, after complying
with all the requirements of the Consti
tuition and when such a party can rally
to its aid the Know-nothing infucnc,
generally, it is time that every truc
patriot in the land should exert himself
to put stern and immediate check upor
this perilous doctrine.

E4T Our exchanges, from all parts Of
the country, bear gratifying testimony
to the zeal and energy with which the
Democracy of-the nation are preparing
for the Presidential struggle. They
speak with entire unanimity of sentiment.
With the same direotness of purpose and
emphasis of language the Democracy
everywhere assume position that will
ensure a brilliant triumph over their
mongrel opponents. No where is the
great issue evaded. 1t is everywhere
confronted with the spirit of menresolved
to conquer. They, moreover, manifest
a proper recognition Of the exigencies Of
the times. Opposed by an enemy, who
seeks success by the most unscrupulous
warfare and rigid discipline of its forces,
the Democracy are preparing to encoun-
ter him with an Organization perfect in
its principles and its system of operations.
Organization is at once the necessary
condition and the certain guarantee Of
success.
BY the selectionof /" Electoral Candi-
dates" in the different Congressional
Districts, special obligation is imposed
upon particular persons; but other men
in the party are not relieved of the duty
of earnest, active, and incessant effort.
There are Democrats of equal ability,
equal reputation, and equal influence, in
every portion of the confederacy, special
ly distinguished for the work of the
canvass, and capable ofsplendid service
to the party. To the fidelity ofsuch the
genius Of patriotism now urgently appeals
with the assurance that the services Of
him who distinguishes bis zeal and his
devotion to his country in this time Of
trial will not be forgotten.

THE NATIONAL WATER WoRKs. Our
readers, says the Washington "Star,"
must not translate the action of Congress
in refusing to appropriate for the Nation
al Water Works in the Deficiency bill
as being equivalent to its abandonment.
1t amounts only to a delay of few
months in the prosecution of the work
Many members, who were unwilling to
vote for it as a deficiency, have no objec-
ton to voting for it as an item of the an
nual appropriation bill. No fear that a
company of spectators will be chartered
to build the Water Works here, need be
entertained. Those who have busted
themselves to defeat the appropriation in
the deficiency bill to make money for
themselves by so doing, will surely be
disappointed of their hopes.

when, in the nineteenth century, in this

to give audience to counsel that would

Another Shooting AFFAIR

WAsHINGToN, May 15-P. M.-Thc
Navy Yard here is all excitement, ow-
ing to most melancholy transaction TO-
day, which resulted in the death of one
individual, and grief to hundreds. The
circumstances, as well as can learn, are
as follows: Rufus Nally, young man
employed in the blacksmith's department
in the yard, was shot and killed by an
other young man employed in the same
shop, named Daniel Jarboe. Itappears
that few minutes before one. o'clock
whilst the mechanics in the yard were
returning from dinner, Jarboe, who was
accompanied by his sister, who is said to
be eactentc, called at the house of Mrs.
Irwin, residing near the Navy Yard and
asked permission to wait few minutes
to see friend. Permission was grant
ed and chairs handed to them. But a
few minutes had elapsed, when Nally
came out from the residence of his moth
er, which was in the immediate vicinity,
on his way to work.
Jarboe and his sister went out to meet
Nun, charged MN with being the seducer
tof his sister, then present, and refusing
to marry her. Their object now was an
appeal to him to comply with his alleged
obligations by marrying the unfortunate
girl. Nally refused positively and per-
severingly. Jarboe deliberately told him
then that he must take the consequences,
and instantly drew pistol and fired.
The ball entered little below Nally's
heart. Nally fastened home, reached
his mothers house, and expired in few
minutes.
Jarboe and mis- sister calmly left the
scene. He acknowledged the deed and
told the excited crowd which Immediately
gathered to be calm; and that he was
going to surrender himself Immediately.
He appeared before Justice Briggs vol
UNFAIRLY, and was committed. Sun.
