DIxocRAcY AND Kxow- NorMINGIsx.-Ths
Times has paltering reply to our article
with reference to this subject. 1t does not
deny that the statement Of the Democrats
Of this city belonging to the Order, is un-
true, for it cannot, as one of the editors Of
the Times, who was in the habit of asso-
siating With them, knows it 20 be true. And
We know, too, that they acted with the
!. Democratic party at the same time, in its
. open meetings. We repeat the great body
OF the native-born Democrats in this city
had their names enrolled on the books Of the
Order, and We can extend our list iust as
Tar as We choose. Perhaps we may take oc.
casion to do so soon.
We reply TO the broad assertion of the
Times, denying that any Of its candidates
was Know-Nothins, by saying that its can
didate for Prosecuting Attorney, j. A.
Goodrich, was an active member Of the
Order.
The Republican party has nothing to do
with know-Nothingism, pro or con, and the
Times knows it. 1t pronounced its princi-
pies at Philadelphia, and the party in all
the States accept and re-a affirm them, entire
and without qualification. With reference
TO oil such questions, the last resolution Of
the Philadelphia Convention lays down this
broad platform:
Resolved, That we invite the nfilation aud
cooperation Of the men Of all parties, how
ever different from vs. in other respects, in
support OF the principles herein declared
and believing that the spirit Of our insttu-
tions as we'll as the constitution of our coun-
try, guarantee liberty Of conscience and
equality Of rights among the citizens, we

curity.
90 on with your shameless dsmagogus-
ing!
DisuSIoS.-The Black Democracy talk
volubly about Disunion, and are free in
their imputations upon the Republican party
Tor being disloyal to the Union, and all that.
Eve have ia our possession n series Of Dis-
union threats and expressions Of Disunion
sentiments made by leading Locofoco men,
bers OF Congress during the present session,
which we propose to publish in u few days.
But meantime let us ask il any body Gun
point 20 solitary Republican member Of
Congress who is a disunionist ?--if he can
point to single Republican State that ever
sent disunionist TO Congress ?-to a single
Republican State that ever advocated dis
union, or that ever failed TO denounce it 3
Let US ask IL the South has no. sent very
many professed disunionists to Congress p
II most Of the Southern States have no,
made threats Of disunion, and do not hold to
the lawful right to secede at pleasure ?-.if
Mr.. Pierce has not placed n secessionist in
Bis Cabinet 70 represent them there and
= .1csc a.sas..oa States, polite ians, ami
members of Congress, are not all supporters
OF Buchanan, confederatcs Of the Black
Democracy
