We suppose The death OF Know Nouipgism
in our town. is aqaestion ihst viii no longer
adni, of a doubt. We notice a few evenings
since, that the room in which The Sage
CounciP' recently met for The purpose Of
determining the fate q ihe %naiioa,' was con-
verlod into a German BAH Room, one eud Of
the same containing a kind of bar, in which
were placed peseeabIy together q good store
of Natips Wine and Lager Beer. Tie Lion
and the Lamb were lying together and naiisss
and foreigners were taking good care Of them.
The place that once knew them now knows
them no more-ths slight top Of the hufied
drum, The slow and measured step Of the.
guard bringing new recruits 10 the aruy-the
cautious Counting OF 'the old thirteen"-ihe
por;en,ious ceremony Of the goWned priest, aud
the devoted friend Of his country, and sworn
enemy to all ..furrinsrs' on one knee; enyel-
Ioped in the folds OF his countiy's aog, taking
lie solemn obligation that makes men ,'Sam,n
RIe now head no mole, and in then sleat,and
on the very spot, 70 what desecration) is hesru
The hoarse notes Of The Basso, The shtlll
scresking Of the french horn, the Jcreigr sonad
Of the Cleriouetie, piping out the eccentric
strains Of some German dance, whilst The
whole house is fairly Keeling from The effects
of tie circular movements OF a 'tTOndtrous

foreigner now holding a jubilee on the vep
spot where not six months $50, was The cam
and the stronghold of his most ~soltmniy sIcerr
enemy. And whilst observing all the surround
ed circumstances of the case, We could moi
help thinking 10 o%urself, bow uncertain are
the designs Of towering ambiliun- how feebt
and unstable the power OF man! To day
flushed with success, o-mortow tfodden uu'
der foot, his noble actions and asperaiioni
gone glimmering with the past, and his yer,
home and Preside converted into . theatre O
umuse ment, by The very individuals whose
ruin be vainly supposed would elevate him IL
fortune cud power. This. no doubt nninten
%lonsl, rebuke by our German population, j!
almost toe severe, but it CAM be helped. NJ
body could be found who was willing 10 owl
That he was, OF or epcr had ben, a Know
Nothing. v ondrr if some OF our Know Moth

There is not cf that Castle great,

But one feature OF the matter struck us o
being good. We noticed quite a sprirkiing Q

A fair game, Mr.. Register, and no Ienigeil
