rhn,,s Right.

snace 10 proving or endeavorng TO prove that IRE
| mont and not Buchanan will get the foreign and
Catholic vote of the country. at least OF the morrill,
and therefore, that Democrats cannot rely upon the
strength 10 be derived from this vote or influence
This is all right, and we ask the Fillmore organs 20
stick up 10 it. We have always commended that
the majority of citizens Of foreign birth generally
voted the Democratic ticket, because, in principle
thew were Democrats, not because the Democracy
had ANYTHING to do with foreignism or Catholicism,
unless the recognition of the equal rights OF all men
under the Constitution could be construed. We
hone that after Buchanan shall have been elected
in November, these organs will stick TO their present
statement and assertion, and not endeavor to weaken
the effect of their defeat by laying it at the doors of
the foreigners and Catholics who, they now say are
going against Buchanan and for Fremont, thus in
creasing Fillmore's chances.
Again, if YOU ever happened to notice il, some
folks geese are all Every man that the
Wings used to start against the Democrats in this
State used to whip the aforesaid Democrats all 10
nohirg up to the day Of election, such was the talk
among the gassy members OF the party The
more sens ble thinking men, rrlved at different con-
illusions, and fully prepared for the election and
election of Reid and for the election they now
are for the reelection of Bragg, who is certain TO
beat Mr. Gtlmer nicely VERY nicely indeed, great
swan as Mr. GIlmer is and how he can fail to do it
at the East especially, reasonable man can see
The thing is So the East cannot vote for a White
Basis, Western Address advocate, one who would carry
off the heavy of the heavily taxed counties to
distribute them among counties already receiving
more from the School fund than their total amount of
taxes paid into the State treasury. The good and
true men of the west don't ask for such injustice
And on what plea are Eastern men, are any men of
the State to be asked 10 tuln out Governor Bragg -
Upon the paramount obligations of a quondam secret
society. Why, what does Mr.. Gllmer's exposition OF
American principles and their practical working
amount to? Does Mr.. Gilmer pretend that he would
prevent emigration Oh, no, be would welcome
every worthy with open arms, but he would keep
him here alien and foreigner, man among U.S.
but not Of us,a with neither stake nor part IN
institutions for twenty.one years, and then he
would make HIM half while, sort of free negro
allowed to vote, but not to be voted fora member of
pariah CASTE Look at the thing purely as
matter of policy. And how would the thing work
How would any body ike it ? what would be the
effect Of it would Its effect not be to erect in the
midst of the people class of subjects but not cti
zens, Of men controlled by laws which they would
have part in InakiDg-of deprived of the
glorious distinction OF American citizenship, the
right and power OF self-goveTnment Would not
this be a glorious "'Amercan" system Look at it
it stands. tits Mr.. Gmer's plan advocated on the
stump and it embodes the gst of all the paramount
obligations" upon the strength of which a new man
like Mr. Gilmer is to be elected tried and faith
full servant like Gov Bragg The Pope of Rome is

that stuff is CANNON, and means humbug. The last
National Council admitted Catholics from Louisiana
- like book and the South Carolina and Virginia
State Councils rPpudiaied the religious test just as
easy" AM besides, what is the of kicking
up against the Democrats the foreign or Catholic
party, since the Know Nothngs themselves contend
that nearly all tho foreigners and Catholics are going
against the Democratic candidates Queer world isn't

unless tie case is altered, and then they axe five.

C. We will venture to say without fear OF successful
contradiction, that the dog population of the town of
Wilmington is enormous, unprecedented and unequal
led, by the feas, who derive an honest living
from devouring said dogs the only pity being that
they don't eat them up, body and bones, hide and
HAIR. COnStantinope is not circumstance, regards
vocality, and we seriously question whether the dev
himself could improve upon the Internal noise they
kick up of warm night. If a locomotive
whistles over on the Manchester Railroad every dog
in town starts cursing and swearing most blasphe-
mously till morning. but if fire bell rings they keep
it up for week and half. 1t also seems to us that
numerous dogs from the country must come in to
have meeting every night, to do something
or other to this ,eponen unknown 1t is next thing
10 impossible that the town could feed as many dogs
as howl around at night If it does. then the hard
times are easily accounted for.
VI-We see occasionally in the columns of our Know
Nothing cotemporaries, some odd-shaped rejoicing
party al the North-such OBJECTIONS amounting sm-
ply to refusal by known abolitioniss to support Bu
chanaD and Breckenridge, such men and presses not
having acted for years with the Democratic party
The Democratic party expects no support from any
such people north or south.
But we would call the attention of our neighbors
and contemporaries little nearer home. They will
find every and then in the columns of the Jour-
nal, Withdrawals from the Know Nothing order or
American party signed by we'll known citizens of this
district. No bogus things from distance away in
western New York, but from our sister counties, and
among cur own readers. There are few in to days
Journal and there will be more yet, unless we are
nightly mistaken. And the ub- electors too well
