''The native American members who had the
courage to support Aiken undor all the circum
stances and advertisements under which they
labored, are entitled to much credit for tho
noble and patriotic stand which they took in
this matter. Personally insulted by narrow
minded purse-proud idiotic caucus, yet they
pocketed the afront with the most phosophie
disregard and voted to serve their country
Patriot.
In reading the foregoing clfuson of Know
Nothingism one would suppose that its immac-
ulate representatives in Congress had been, in
some way or other most cgregiously insulted by
the miotic democrat, in that body, when 10, and
behold the insult amounts only to this, that
the democratic members thought necessary to
adopt resolution governing their own actions
and expressing their own opinions rs to the
course they intended to pursue; nothing more
Democratic resolutions appear to be very much
in the way Of Know Nothingism and hard to
stomach
What business have Know.Nothings with
the resolution of the Democratic caucus?
What interest have they in Democratic re-
solutions? OH they desired that all con.
sentative men should unite. Yes, unite:
and this Democratic resolution informing
know-Nothngs just what was thought of
them, was offensive, and they could not
therefore vote for the Democratic candidate.
Verify, how did they expect to unite with
Democrats in Congress ? How could they
unite with the anti.Amcrican party, with
the foreign party, with the spois party
What prc-cminent example of self-stultii-
cation that would be Certainly the Dem.
ocratic party never contemplated union
with The sclfstylcd American party in
Congress or elsewhere. No two parties
coald bc more antagonisiic. The lofty pre-.
tensions Of the bogus American party for
bid such thing, if that party has any re-
pcctlor consistency: The sanity creatures
arc too holy to unite with the ret Of man
kind. They ought to keep their garments
unspottcd from the world. They arc Ameri-
cans-they arc; they arc protcstants against
the iniquity Of the oh parties. Indeed
the Democratic party il foreign, and per
haps Romish. A union with il would bc
treason. If these Americans, after THEN
professions at home, aud their monstrou,
t.laIsc aSdlusl ouicf jcoplc, hdNS any SUI
respect, they will vote only for sanctifet
brethren.
There is party that sets up great pre-
tensions to morals and purity in the North
most Of them are Americans, too, of tho new
holy sort. They fear The Pope, and have 9
horror of foreign influence They have
united with the sanity National know-No
things to beat Democrats everywhere. Eacl
faction has shouted over the others victor
los. Let them unite in that body before
the country as they did ut home.
In conclusion, we say let the brethren
dcnonncc that resolution Of the Democratic
clucns as much as they please 1t was no
passed to suit them. But let them not re
fer to that rs reason why the House i
not organized. Let them nst give out tina
they wonld have voted for Democrat fol
Speaker had they not been warned of b,
that resolution. They have all taken al
oath To the contrary. The brethren her
can't vote for Constable that is not " RICH
on the goose;" but if they could vote for
Democrat, their votes are not wanted. |
they think they are right, let them stick t
their professions and their pretensions
