KNOW NOTHING MOnESTY.

The thirty X. n. members of Congress from the
South certainly deserve credit for their modesty, if
for nothing else. They long ago suore to vote for
no man, for any office, unless he X. ~; and
now they pretend that resolution passed by the
Democratic members prevents them from uniting
with the Democrats in cccting a Speaker; thus
showing their molesty in disregard OF their oath.
And Their again they are extremely modest in in
sistirg that seventy tvc Democrats shall yield to
thcm-lhc great thirty-and elect X. n. Speaker.
Verify, they are like the unfortunate juryman, who
could never agree with his eleven fellows because
they were such stubborn, contrary set, and rcfus
ell to come over to him.

tons of Slavery" which he discusses with much
fairness. 1t is pity his actions and words are SO
inconsistent"
How inconsistent? Let US have the proofs, Mr..
Register. That paper reminds US of Scotch butch
en- against whom Patrick Henry appeared soon az
ter the revolutionary war. The Scotchman brought
an action for beef against the government and insist
Gu upon it without regard to reason or justice He
was the last OF the croakers of that era. The war
had closed with the establishment of the great prin.
c'pies OF liberty for the people of that day, and as
1t was tondly hoped, for all coming generations
men of all parties and all sections were generally
satisfied and gratiied with the result and with the
prospects before them; but there was one man,
said Mr.. Henry, who disturbed the general joy by
his hoarse vociferatons at all points of "bats!-
6efeH-dye!r' The Register will make about as
much by its croaking as the Scotchman did in the
way of "6ate"
We beg pardon ofour readers for this DEPRESSION
We thought it our duty to refer to the notice by
the Register of the Message; and in doing SO we
have endeavorcd to proportion our shot to the size
of the game.
Franklin Pierce, we repeat, is true to the South,
because he Is true to the Constitution The rights
of all sections and the interests and honor of the
country so far as foreign nations concerned, are
entirely safe in his hands. True, a combination of
demagoeues and sefseekers pandering to all the
vile isms of the day, succeeded in eecting an oppo-
sltIon House of Representatives; but this is only
temporary evil--is cannot last The "sober-second
thought of the people" will in due time make itself
felt; and that "second thought" is "never wrong
and always efficient"

growth of our system, in reference to these QucS-
tons is, in the highest degree, impressive and in
structive. 1t is equally just and true-just to the
spirit of the South and true to the facts Of history"
Ono of the Correspondents of the Baltimore Sun
says:
''The public, with one voice, accord to President
Pierce the highest plaudts for his good Judgment
and bodness in al'piiZng the nation of its cond-
ton, without waiting longer for tactous and dis.
organizing House 1t is Jacksonian. His treat
ment Of the slavery question stamps him patri
OF and statesman, and will warm towards him more
than the heart of the South, and every friend
of the Union"
The Fayetteville Observer, the leading Wing pa
per Of North.Carolina, pays the following liberal
aud manly compliment to the Message:
1t is one ofthe most remarkable staten, nts that
read of the slavery question, of the rights
and duties of the States that subject of the mad
ness Of fanatcism at the North and Of the inevta-
bic result OF disunon which it tends. 1t lisa go
rons vndicaton of the South and its rig hts, graz
tifying TO us as it WAS unexpected. The promulga-
ton OF such just conservative, patriotic sentiments,
clothed in language of glowing el"qucncc, and car
ryng with them tho power and influence off high
Office, is worthy of all praise overrdcs all party
considerations, and efforts praise from those who
have had little reason to contile in him.
But the E litor OF the Raleigh Register plays the
cro"her on tins occasion, as was to have been ex-
pccted. Some people illibcra and narrow
minded, and so Bound UP with their little isms and
