The DAYS OF PUR1FICATION The revival OF The
rites and ceremonies OF the Mosaic law by the Know
Nothings is not the least curious fact in the curious
history of that funny party. The last ceremony we
have bad performed by them has been that of purif
cation They have been purifying themselves
Heaven knows they needed it First, the national
know nohings--stop laughing if you please-dvlded
into two, northern and southern order two national
parties at once-bat IS to say ar,thmeticalIy twice
TWO makes one, half of unit is two units-just
you please. That the day of publication
Then the northern national know-nothngs met and
purified out the Fillmore men then the Fillmore
men met and purified out the George Law men then
the Stockton men met and purified out the Fillmore
men and the George Law men both; and then the
Fremont met and purified ou' the whole Of them,
except the Israeite without guile, who rode wooly
horse over the tops of the highest mountains for
forty days and fifty nights, playing upon harp of
thousand strings, and assisted by the spirits of just
and laws OF the United States which he mraculously
,sl man, and guarded by four thousand Navajo Bull
gnes and g.izIy Bar. Who dares say that the
nothing party isn't purified into pure black re-
pubcanism, and that John c. Fremont wasn't mi.
| racuousy taught the constitution and the rule of
three on the tops of the Rocky mountains by grizzly
bear with harp of thousand strings? Whar's
the in6del-show him up 'liIl convert him or
purify him. And when the days of their purifcaton
were ended behold Satan came looking for them but
the bats and the owls had picked their bones and
eaten their flesh, and of all that company nom
eft-no, not one, save only Greeley, whose surname
was Horl ors, and him would not Satan have at any
price. and SO ended the days of black-repubIicaE
puri6caiion.-Neao York Democrat.

anan--Senator Jones, of Tennessee.
Senator Jones, of Tenn, delivered a magnificent
speech in the Senate to- day. Without surrendering
any OF his Wing principles, he declared his purpose
to support the democratic nominees for President and
Vice President. He takes this position as the only
sure means of avetng the dangers which threat
the Unit n from sectionalism. He examined at
length the several platforms and the candidates of
the three parties and showed concusively that the
true position OF an old line whig in the present con-
test is with the democratic party. Mr.. Jones made
triumphant vndication of Mr. Buchanan from the
charge of having done injustice 10 Mr. Clay in re-
gard to the charge of bargain and corruption. His
speech was listened 10 by The Sena and crowded
gallery with marked interest. and is destined to ex
ert a powerful influence on The public mind
Wash. Unlon Saturday.
1t is pleasant duty TO record so valuable an ac-
cession TO the support of Mr.. Buchanan as Senator
Jones, of Tennessee. Very highly gifted popu-
lar speaker, be will make his influence felt during
the canvass While he does not surrender any OF his
whig principles, he has determined to adopt that
course which his rare abilities and pure patriotism
point out as best calculated to subserve the great
interests at SAKE. 20 Sanatnr Jones the only
distinguished member of Congress who notd ror.y
afinies in subordinaton to the duty OF prepetuatng
the existence of the Union. Many other emineat
names are found on the list of Mr. Buchanan's suppor
ters. Stephens, Toombs, Pearce, Pratt, Benjamin,
Jones Caluthers, Oliver, and Watkins, are men who
deserve we'll of their country Besides there is host
of ex members from all parts of the country, who
are with US. The Democratic candidates enjoys al
ready almost complete monopoly OF the country.

Poetry of the PuritoOs

Their canons of taste have become those of Eng
land and High Churchmen who still call them round
heads and cropped ears 60 about rounder headed and
closer cropt than they went. They held it more
rational to cut the hair TO com ortabIe length than
TO wear eftmlnate curs down the back. And " e cut
nnrs mnci, shnr ar than they ever did. Thev held
with the Spanards, then the finest gentlemen in the
worldly that sad, e., dark colors, above all black
were the ites for stately and earnest gentlemen
We all, from the Tractaran to the Anythingaran,
are exactly OF the same opinion. They held that
lace, perfumes and JeweIry on man, were marks ot
unmanly foppshness and vanity and SO hold the
finest gentlemen in England now. They thought It
equally absurd and sinful for man 10 carry his in
come on his back, and bedizen himself in reds
blues and green's, ribbons, khos slashes, and treble
quadruple de lallan rufs huiIt up iron and tim.
Der, "a fact) which have arches in them for
pride than London Bridge for use"
We, if we met such ruffed and rufied worthy as
used 10 swagger by hundreds up and down Pauls
Walk not knowing how TO get dinne,, much less to
pay his tailor, should look him as firstly fool,
and secondly swindler; willie if We net Ole Pur
tan, should consider him man gracefully and
picturesquply dressed but whal in the perfect
sohrety of good taste and " hen we discovered (as
probably shouid) over and above that the harle-
qn cavalier had box OF salve and air OF dice in
one pocke, pack of cards and few pawnbrokers'
duplicates in the other thai bis thoughts were alto
gether of citizens N'ves and their too easy virtue
aud that he could not open his mouth without a
dozen oaths, should consider the Puritan (even
though he did quote scrip somewhat through his
nose) rs the gentleman; and the courlier as a most
offensive specimen of the " snob triumph" glory ng
in his shame.
The picture is not ours, the Puritans 1t
is Bishop Halls, Bishop Earle's-it is Beaum nt's
Jonson'>, Shakespeare's-the picture which every
dramaliSt, well salrlst, has drawn of The gal
liant" of the seventeenth century No one can read
those writers honestly without seeing that the Puri
TAM and not the Cavalier conception of what British
gentleman should be, the one accepted by The whole
nation al this day
Poetry in those old Putans Why not? They
were men of like passions with ourselves. They
loved, they married, they brought up children; they
feared they sinned, they sorrowed they fought, hey
conquered There was poetry enough IN them. 10 bt
sure, though they acted it like men. instead of sing
ing it like brds.-North British ReuieaU.
