The Gazette vs. Know Nottingham. THE EDITORS sENsIBILITY-HIs WRATH WHEN
 CHARGED WITH HAVING APPLIED FOR AD-
 MISSION INTO THE ORDER. HIS UNACcoUNT-
 ABLE INCONSISTENCY.
 In another column will be found the article of the Gazette in which the patriotic editor placed himself "upon the record as ants- K,ao,o Nothing" It is document that we commend to every citizen of the State, whether demo- 'crat, whg or Know Nothing. We commend it, too, to the editor of the Gazette himseif It puts forth just views upon the subject, andis the best thing that ever appeared in the Ga- zette, whether written by the editor or by one of his numerous sleeping partners" It IS doc ument that has never been controverted by the Gazette--in all it's abuse of Catholics and for eigners, it has never answered the arguments therein used.
 Let every citizen of the State read the arti- cle to which we refer, and then, if they can, answer the question that naturally arises-Ho,o IS tt Mat Danley is noaO the organ and supporter of tue Kaow Nothing party in th's Sate9 What could haue been the nsotves that aorougM the von- derfM change sn his viewsg Patriotism and principle are out of the question-what motive then could have influenced him?
 It is Lot very long while since the editor of the Gazette was bitterly opposed to Know Nottingham. He thought it a disgrace, dis. honor, even to be suspected of leaning towards it. In his reply to the accusation made against him by paper in this state, that he had made application for a membership in the order he was exceedingly ill-natured He indignantly sad
 We do not belong to the Know Nothings, and nave never applied for admission into that or any society having Tn view the ends which it is said the members of that order nre desirous of accomplish ing, nor do we expect to become a member or apply for membership in that, or any kindred order.
 The charge, then, that are q member. or are. or ever have been desirous of becoming a member, oi the order of Know Nothings. any society based on the princ pie, that said to be the ioup dation ot that order is false in it's and breadth; and We have reluctantly to the conclusion that the individual, who made this charge kne,c it to De Tatse mhen he nude H.
 After all this show of virtuous indignation, is it not passing strange that the editor of the Gazette is now the organ of the Know Noth- ing order? Who can again place confidence in the editors declarations? He told us that he "not only did not belong to the Know Nothings," but he did not "erpect ever to become member, or apply for membership in that or ony kindred order" He has falsifed this assertion, and is now the organ, the mouth-piece, the spokes- man of Know Nottingham in the State. Who will ever believe him again?
 But to the article we publish in another col umn this morning-read there his opinions of Catholics and foreigners. How do those opin- ions accord with his present abuse and bitter ness against those two classes of our citizens? In that article, he went into an extended and warm defence of the Catholics He said, "he Catholic colony of Maryland eoos the first to pro- clatm anu practice religious tolerance on Nis con- tinent" Is the editors course of prescription against the Catholics now in accordance with the spirit of this piece of history? But the 1 editor went further, before he was won over by Know Nothing ove-powders, and in his de- fence of the Catholics, denounced the Protes- tant clergymen. He said that the Protestant clergy warrcd upon the south and southern institutions, but the Catholic clergy refused to join them in 1t. He told us tha. the the Pre- tesant ministers opposed the rendition of fugi- 1 tive slaves, "harangued mobs, anA incited then, b deeds of violence and naurler," but that the Catholic clergy "havc done no such thing; they hare neve'' opposed tle e1ecution of the tugitire slave law"
 When Danley said these things, he was not q Know Nothing. He then saw great deal of virtue in Catholic schools and convcnts, and at the convent in this city assisted the sis ters'' il. the distribution of the prizes at their school examinations.
 In the article we publish to-day, it will be seen that the editor was equally explicit on the subject of foreigners. He quoted the words Of the Declaration of Independence to show that the>know Nothing warfare upon foreigners was the same as that of King George III. He spoke at length upon tho eminent services rendered this country by forei guera in Der wars
 After all this, these warm praises of Catho- lies and foreigncrs--after declaring "the princ- ples of the Know Nothings to be in contraven- ton of the plainest principles of the constitu- tlon, at war with the spirit of our government, and iraught with danger to the country''-after having placed himself to use his own language, Ion the record as anti Know Nothing "-is it not strange-passing strange, that he should now be an opened mouthed, bitter and uncom- promising Know Nothing? We put the ques- ton to the people, and ask if they can answer, how 1t IS that he is a dark lanternite? Let every man read the article of the Gazette of August, 1854, that we publish ill full to- day. While it shows up Know Nottingham in its proper light, it damns the editor of the Ga- zette for afterwards joining the order. Itshows that principle, or patriotism, or the teachings of the meek and owy Jesus," had nothing to do with his conversion to Know Nottingham to an order that was so repugnant to him but short time since.
 0~r" The gentleman of very respectable taents," who occupies tho tripod ofthe Gazette, chuckles good deal over what he ought to know was merely typographical error in our paper The editor finds so few things to use against Us, that he is driven to magnify the smallest errors into something important. The expression in our paper that "Me democratic po'ty are for men and not measures, is in an ar ticle every other line of which plainly shows that the expression should have been printed " tormeasures and not for men," Even the same sentence which the editor ouotes shou.o +b;s
