Dose for Know. NOthings once Wings


The dose is nauseous, says the
Huntsville Aduocats, but it is not Of
our mixing. 1t was compounded by
one Doctor Andrew Jackson Donel-
son in 1851, who then cOncoCted all
sorts Of pills,purges and pukes, which
he administered to old Wings through
the Washington Union. He vas
then especially indignant at the
feeling in favor of Mr Fillmore in
preference to "the brilliant names Of
Cass, Woodbury., Dallas, Douglas,
Walker, Buchanan, Butler" ETC.,
"whose patriotic light is as clear in
In the political armament as that
OF the milky-Key in our Skies"
and he prepared and administered
the following to correct the public
pulse and restore it to q more
healthful beat! We NOW prescribe
it to Know Nothings once Wings,
who have With wry faces swallowed
the Doctor him self!
But seriously, in 1851, as editor
Of the Washington Union, Andrew
jackson Douelson, the present Know
Nothing nominee Of the Southern
wing of the Order, thus denounced
Mr. Fillmore, bis Administration and
the Wing party, and expressed bis
indignation at the idea Of Ms. Fill
more's being thought Of for the
Presidency in preference to t be "bril-
liant name" Of Buchanan. It is
Andrew jackson Donelson who pours
out the vials Of his wrath in the
following extract upon Mr.. Fillmore
aud the old Wing party. Digest
the extract as you best can, gentle
men Know Nothings, once Wings:
"Although the measure (tbe Com
promise of 1862 if considered as
one OF a party nature, iooula fall to
the credit Of the Democrats, whether
it be tested by the members whose
votes and Influence passed it, or by
the sacrifice which it makes to the
cause of union, yet we see it an-
nounced as the signal by which an
administration is to be continued 10
power. whose only prominent distinc-
tion thus far is that it cuts off the
heads of office-holders because they
have been faithful to the political con-
victions OF their lives. And
what is the reason given for this
alarming and extraordinary demand?
Let not the reader be amazed: it is
that President Fillmore will execute
the laws-wiU be taHymto lbs oath
and e1ecute tho laws!
That we may not be supposed 10
exaggerate the pretensionof the Wing
party, we need only to refer to the
fact that its candidates in Tennessee
have already proclaimed the name of
Willard Fillmore as that around
which the royal friends of the Com
promise must be rallied, and the
Administration installed into power
which will discard from the coun-
ellis Of the nation all who dare
to stand upon the old platform of
Washington, Jefferson and Jackson.

The prospect of the House of Representa-
tives at Washington is apparently no nearer
eiiecting an organization now than it was a
month since The members NEE. at the
usual hour, offer propositions, make explana-
tions, define their positions in regard to their
political standing, then vote several ballots
for speaker, and then adjourn. This childS
play has been going on for six weeks at an
expense to the government Of not less than
$4,000 And yet the object, compared
with the waste of fine and bad example, is
but small. The speakers patronage in the
distribution Of honors aud pecuniary rewards,
is no doubt the difficulty in the way. The
first Law passed after the House is organised
should be one to provide against the recur-
renee of such scenes of disorganization as
are now enaeting at Washington. This
might be done by enacting a law that the
House should ballot certain number OF
times each day, say five days, sfter which a
plurality should elect if majority did not
elect.

General Cass is preparing speech on the

MR.. BRIGHT ON THE UNITED STATE,

AT public meeting OF the Msrsden Me.
chancs' Institution, at Manchester, on the
l4th December, Mr.. Bright, NJ. p, in the
course OF o speech, deprecating the war,
said
MANY Of you have relatives or friends in
America. That young nation has a popula-
tion about equal to ours in these islands. IL
has great internal and external commerce.
1t has more tonnage in shipping than we have.
1t has more railroads than we have 1t has
more newspapers than we have. 1t has in
situations more free than we have--that hor-
rid slavery OF the South exceptcd-and which
is no fruit of its institutions, but an unhappy
legacy of the past. 1t has also great man
uEacturing interest in different branches.
That is the young giant whose shadow ever
grows, and there is the true rival Of this
country. How do we stand o. start in the
race? 4? The United States Government. in
cluding all the Governments of oil the sove.
reign States, raises in taxes probably from
Gl2,000000 to Gl5.000,000 sterling in the
year. England this year will raise in taxes
and loans, and will expend nearly Gl0O OO0..
600. This population must raise, and will
! spend, probably, GS0,O00,000 within this wear
more than that population will raise and
| spend, and in America there is far less pov.
erty and pauperism than in England. Can
we run this race on these terms and against
these odds ? Can we hope to be as well of Il.
America, if the products Of our industry arc
thus swept away by the tax-gatherer, and il
the vain scheme of saving Europe from i'm
aginary dangcrs7 Can poverty be lessene,
among us, can education spread, can the bru
tality of so many of our population be up
rooted--can all or anything that good mel
look for come to us--while the fruits of on
industry. the foundation of all social an,
moral good, are squandered in this manner :?
Pursue the phantom Of military glory for tel
years, and expend in that time sum equa
to all the visible property of Lancashire an,
Yorkshire, and then compare yourselves wit
tie United States of America. and where wi,
you be Paupersm, crime and political an
archy. are the legacies we are preparing 10
snr children, and there is no escape for II
unless we change our course and resolve {
disconnect ourselves from the policy whic
tends necessarily to embroil us with the ma
tions ofthe continent of Europe"
