Something Queer.

 In looking through all the shades, grades and varieties of Know Nothing platforms that were, that now are and that are to be, we select the following plank from the platform of the Ar kansas Know Nothings:
 1 "7. While the American party oppose the reckless legislation which has thus placed the whole treasury the disposal of the Governor. they also equally op pose and denounce the long delayed commencement of the suit against the Of the bank the slow prosecution of the same. the prodgai expenditure of public money ill it's prosecution and the pro1iigate to which he has lrosued his official position, by making the wreck If the banks an engine for his own political advancement, and the ad vaneeucEt of the private fortunes of lis kith and kn.'
 After reading this, one would hardly credit the fact that Gen. IeR and Co., Fo,Vler, two of Gov. Conway's lawyers, are the nominees of the Know Nothing order. Soon after the law was i enacted requiring the Attorney General to file bill against the Trustees of the Real Estate Bank, and authorizing Gov Conway to appoint two assistant lawyers, Gov. Conway appointed Col Fowler The Colonel held on to his ap- polntment for several monthS did nothing whatever towards forwarding the suit, and then resigned. Gen. Yell was then appointed. He accepted the appointment, held on to it for more than year, did nothing whatever, joined the Know Nothings and then resigned Of Col. Fowler, the first that was known of him after his resignation, was his appearance for the trustees against the State.
 Every thing that has been done, and that is great dea Mr. Curran did before his death, and Gen. Hampstead has done since These are the only two men who have assisted Gov Conway Col Fowler and Gen. Yell had the farest opportunity in the world to prove their 1 disposition to wind up the bank. They failed to do so, and Col. Fowler absolutely appeared as the opposing council.
 In regard to the "rechless lqis2ation echich has placel the a0hOle treasury at the disposal Of he G0vern0,,'' if 1t is reckless, it should be re. membered that the last legislature which did it. was Kaoe0 Nothing body. The democratic party are not responsible for the acts of the last legislature. They approve and endorse the acts, as wise ones, which gave to the Gov ernor the power he possesses, but they are not responsible for them.
 The Know Nothings of this place have op- posed the successful prosecution of this suit by all the means in their power. They have heap ed unmeasured and unqualified abuse upon Gov Conway for his course. They have stick led at nothing to bring him into disgrace and discredit with the people. They have assaile,l his public and his private character They have left nothing undone to iuure him and to impair his usefulness
 Now, forsooth, they come forward and com plain of his dilatoriness! They even adopt their comp 'aints in their platform! We ven- ture the assertion that never before, in the his 1 tory of the State, was a man so successful in any thing as Gov. Conway has been in this suit, in the face and in spite of the unscrupu lous opposition that Gov Conway has had from Know Nothings.
 We shall discuss this matter freely and fully during the canvass. The Know Nothings cannot escape from their position. The luton quote above is weak effort to create a false impression.
