Editor Of the Comet Sir You
will oblige me to withdraw my name
from the Know Nothing party. A
sense of duty to the country impels
me to this course. | went into the
party with the expectation-based on
the promise Of some of,he leaders--of
being able to do the country some
service in place of ease and profit,
where | could command means where
with to work without Which it is pos
itiecly useless to attempt any noble
effort at reformation. The arm that
has means, is an arm Of iron sinews
for good. The people should be made
to pay for their own reformation, and
for this reason it is useless for any
pure patriot to remain inactive in a
party that promises every thing and
performs nothing. | am now in my
allegiance and fealty a democrat
Please let the whole world know It,
and have my name set down in the
books at the State House as SUCH
Have it done privately, for | desire no
public ovation, no illumination, no glo-
rifcation, no procrastination. | want
to do the country service, and want
an office on the watch-tower of iber-

I am right. JOHN SuMMERsET.

It is your habit. Comet, occasionally
TO rail out in unneasured terms, at
the follies Of society, and the absurdi-.
ties of that tyranical mistress Of US all,

and sympathise with you, for I know
full we'll that not more than one half
Of this intelligent community look into
your paper, and The other half cannot
see through You, and care no more
for what You think, than you do
for whit they think. How morti-

man, to labor NIL day, at this season of
the year. over a leader, which Tie
mosquitoes have pricked hlm to make

But YOU, Comet. | feel, are somewhat
philosoper, and can bear TO stand it
The recent treaties OF amily and
friendship between this nation. and its
Celestial fifth cousin on the other si,lc
of the globe, has given rise to much
comment on their manners and Gus
toms. We regard them as n semi
barbarians, and they look upon us as,
WIDELY demented for doing many
things, contrary to their notions of pro-
priety. We abuse them, for putting their
ladies' feet into wooden shoes, so that
they cannot walk. Why, there is no
more barbarism about this, than there
is IN many of our own enlightened
customs Our women are ashamed
of their feet--or sone of .hem are,
who have eighteen inches of under
standing; else they would not have
their dresses to sweep the ground
Another fact. in reference to refined

New YoRK CHURcHEs.-Noticeing
the recent completion of the Baptist
church 10 Fifth avenue, at cost Of
about 100000, correspondent ofthe
Boston Journal remarks
We have now hardly church that
men Of moderate means can attend !;
most Of the down town churches have
removed their places, but substantial
houses have given place to the costly
and show structure; pew rents have
risen accordingly. Hundreds and hun
dreds of families in New York, genteel
but not wealthy are without church
or society, because they cannot afford
to pay the pew rents. A man can do
as be pleases with bis own house
But those who erect places Of public
worship and pnt the expense ofpublic
worship above the reach of The aver
age of society, do society substantial
and enduring wrong. The Sabbath
belongs TO the poor man. The Cos.
pei is his To the poor belong
the ordiences. Their success and NOR
al health is the moral health Of the
people, and the corruption and degen-
eracy of the masses is the ruin of the
whole state.

The Schottische is fashionable and so

that young ladies give, for indulging

we may laugh to excess. Such per-

for their children, may be effectually

Let US say to them in all mildness and
good temper that religion itself is a
very good thing, unless taken to ex-
cess, and then it is the greatest Attic

We are inclined to doubt the sincerity
