The Democracy of Firsain iced be at no loss IN

in B.alJock's army, we have abundant experience
in fighting the suvagefo We understand his sneak

no, encounter him for the first time Is not The

The Same wisdom in counsel and energy OF action
which conducted us then 10 so brilliant a victory
will repeat the result now, With added circumstances
of r1ultation with and shame and distress win th-
beaten enemy. To consummate the defeat OF Know
No.hipyism and scourge from the State with whip
of scorpions have only 10 close up our ranks and
make e bold dash ut its disordered columns. The
uncompromsing, vigorous aud aggressive policy
which repvsed Know Nuthingis!n IN lSo1, is tin
policy for this emergency The Know Nothing party
have changed their professions but their principles
are essentially the same as when they SO provoked
the disgust and Indignation OF the people of Virginia

they substitute pledge Of honor" which, if diff
fer-nt thing with them, i, quite obligatory gen
t-men of character. They disclaim proscriptive
policy against Catholics and foreigners, and they
did when they were pillGging ca,hedrals aud assass
mating Ir;shlnen. We must not allow ourselves to be
deceived by their hypocritical professions OF contr
ton and repentance. The Ethiopian does not change
his skin. The Know nottingham of 1856, is the
Know Nothingism of 1855, little more supple and
submissive to public opinion, but not whit the less
rank in spirit or obnoxious in substance. Ii invites
no tender treatment. 1t must be fought again with
the remorseess energy opposition aud attack which
crushed it out in 1885; aud the Democracy IF rirsi

their cu,lGsses for the contest
