EPIn1Y. FEaRUARYII5, 1856,
Know No.hing Fe..iraI.

The Know Nothings of Worcester and VI
entity had their long anticipated jollihcatiou
at the City Hall, on "Wednesday evening last
About FIVE hundred, all told, including the
invited guests from abroad, sat down to sup
per furnished by Mr.. Augustus Mas. Among
the distinguished lights of the party present.
were Gov Gardner, Lieut.. Gov benehiey'
President Baker Of the Senate, Col. a. u
Brewster, and others, who made speeches. III
response to toasts. The Hon. Alexander De-
Witt, member of Congress from this District
was also present, and spoke in response 10
sentiment.
Col. George. w. Richardson. who voted
for Julius Rockwell for Governor, last laii'
affiliated as President Of the evening
Decidedly the most noticeable and Marked
performance of the occasion was the speech
of his Rxcellency the Governor. The tone OF
II was sufficiently irrational" to satisfy the IN
stincts of the most intense stSouth American
in the country. We should have judged by
the bold and confident manner in which he
preached the idea of an immediate reunion
of Americans, North. South, East, and
West" on one common pro-slavery basis, at
Philadelphia, that, in his opinion, there had
been no canse whatever for the disruption
which occurred in their ranks in June last
Indeed, with the sentiments which the Gov
ernor uttered. on Wednesday evening, no ui-
ira propagaudist of slavery could find any
fault Had he expressed himself in such q
manner at the last Philadelphia Council, he
would have been deemed fit to stand by the
side of the whole South square on the
Philadelphia platform. 1t is no wonder that
he needed three days bolstering, by his col
leagues. to say what he did, IN June, at Phil
adelphia.
The speeches of Messrs. Prince of Es- ex,
and dyer Of Boston, were somewhat an ex-
ception to the hunkerish character of the ma
jority, but we should like to inquire of what
earthly use is anti Slavery talk, in party
which has forfeited all its previous professions
of freedom, by taking the initiatory steps for a
full political communion with an organization
more Southern, if possible, in its ideas, than
even the Nebraska Democracy.
10 establish the character of the perform
ances beyond oil peradventure, it is only nee
essary to state that that ultra pro-slavery sill
yer-gray bunker, ]. t. Headley of New York,
was invited to act the principal part in them,
and letter from him, avowing sentiments o.
the New York Herald stamp, was read and
appiauded This Headley, it will be recol'
iected, a few days since, presided at al
American meeting in New York, wher'
George Law was nominated for the Presi
deney.
At the clote of the regular toasts, volun
teers were called for from the audience, whel
the following was sent up to the platform, bu
the President declined reading it,
LAFAYETTE and Benedict Arnotd-The one
foreigner and the other native-the acts anC
history of both are a lasting refutaton OF tn
proscriptiye doctrines Of Know Nothingism.

CALEB CUSHING AND THE PREsIDENoY.-A
Washington correspondent of the Tribune,
says:-
=" It may surprise the knowing ones in pol
itics. but the fact is well understood here, that
the Attorney General, Mr.. Cushing, claims
reyersiopary interest in the delegates favora-
abe to General Pierce in the Cincinnati Con-
vention, should the latter fail to procure the
nomination. Whether these pretensi ms have
the Executive cnuntenance or not, is more
than shall as ume, but that they are made,
ana movements looking to this contingency
are in course of preparation, will not be de-
MED upon reliable authority. There is a lin
tied interest now in Washington, which deals
IN politics as desperate gamblers do in lotter-
les, that have TINS arrangement in keepil 9,
and who, while affecting the utmost devotion
t. General Pierce are deyisng plans BY which
ms defeat may be compassed, in order to avail
themselves of the chances likely to result from
new deal of cards.

Mt. Zion Dinner.

Through the polite invitation of Mai. BARK
LEY, President OF the Mt Zion Society, we at
tended on Thursday their annual dinner II
was prepared ut McMAsrER's Hotel. Rarely
have we sat down TO a better furnished repast.
1t would have done credit 10 any establishment.
Most especially were our kind tavors bestowed
upon the desserts and dclcacics They could
not have been better. The much respected
host has quiet easy way Of going along, with
out hurry or hustle, but always hitting the
mark. This time he hit the hearts of all of his
guests and they in turn hit the bottom of
many of his dishes, although they were pro-
uigally supplied.
The Society is in a tourishing condition 1t
must nave been Il qualification to its mcinbcrs
TO meet again around the convivial board, fur
nl5hcd with the satisfactory knowledge that,
the institution still maintained it's position Of
unrivallcd prosperity. Beng at this very time
so fun that difficulty is found in securing pla.
ccs Tor applicants.
We wish the Society many more happy re-
unions, and may the institution always bear the
same cridcnce OF high pubic confidence and
liberal patronage.

ed with their own rnr,nieS, take cprtnin
ohtbs and obligations, declare war upon
naiise-born Cathniics aud adopted citl-
5eDs; and when the democrats propose.
To protect these same southern Aurri-
cans against the nurtbprn Americans, or
aboiliOuIsts, the southern Americans
are so much attached to the order, rom
which their mOsl unrelentng ndvprsa-
ries have come, that they refuse TO act
with the democrats unless ihry are per-
ntied to indulge iu the luxury ui their
oblisatIons to The midnight fraternity.
Aud the ColuIubia Tunes abuses the
democrats because they Will not with
dra" Their declarations agaunst an order
which gave birth to the present abolition
