that tho Know Nothing meeting is !

that the Know Nothing meeting is
considered to have been failure" p
How much truth there is in this it is
easy to infer. Every thing in the po-
litlcal world is regarded by the ''liue
Virginian' as q "failure," unless it is
conducted by the 'ipure (?) and undc-
filed democracy" Nothing works
we'll to him unless it is surmounted by
the hydra-headed, galvanized form of
Locofoism. Unless every body dan
ccs up to the tune of Henry A. Wise,
the Richmond Enquirer, and the True
Vrginian, they are abolitionists, or
guilty oftreason or some other damna-
BILE heresy. / grow sick over the in
fernal doctrines promulgated by the
two former, and deeply regret that the
latter subscribes to their dogmas. To
speak out plainly upon the subject, l
regard Wise as one Of the most dan
gerous men in the South, and as for
the Richmond Enquirer, it is disun-
ion paper, and is doing more damage
to the institutions of this country than
all the balance of the papers in it, and
the editor of the True Virgnian knows
it. That paper (Enquirer) is even tel
ling the people where the dividing line
shall be in case Buchanan is not elect
ed. utneither of these madmen have
power to dissolve the Union. The peo-
pie will attend to that matter whenever
it is time; for petty politicians and era
zy political editors have not the power
to dissolve.
/ have no doubt our meeting was re-
garded as q failure by some of the To-
cofocos, but heard no one complain
who came to it, and some Of them came
SO miles. If men who spent their mo-
ney to get here and lost two or three
days to attend the meeting do not com
plain, certainly one-horse editors who
are not at all interested, ought to keep
their mouths shut. But he wants to
make capital out of it, by making PEG.
pie at q distance believe that there were
but few here, and that we had no spec.
ches Of any account. Such subter.
fuge as this shows that the author of it
is bigoted and foolish partisan-big
oted because he thinks no one is right
but himself, and foolish because he sup,
poses the people will believe it.
The democrats have great posse oil
orators in this district. Every Buch.
anan speech that has been made in this
canvass, with two or three exceptions
was made by renegade Wings. When.
ever there is to be speech made, it is
Clemens, renegade Whig-or Russell
late Wing; or Oldham, late Wing; OF
Raymond, late Whig--or somebody
else, late Wing. The truth is the De.
mocrats have no good speakers except
what they get from the Wing party, 4
the members Of the Democratic party
have to dance up to the music of these
Wing gentlemen. Yes, you good and
true democrats, you are bound to vote
for these late Wing leaders to keep
them in your dirty party and the mex,
thing you know you will have to vote
for one of these late Wing gentry fol
Congress. The wire pullers will stick
him at you, and you be bound to swal,
low him.
And this same little editor of the
Virginian will have to vote for one OF
these late Wings, who went over to Blu
chanan because his party would not G.
lect him to office. Come now, dance
up to Wing music awhile. You have
been Democrat long enough. And
then perhaps you can sing in better
style
80 what fall was there my coun,rymen!'
One word now to the readers of the
American Union and ] have done.
This is the last time / shall speak to
you before the election, and would adj
jure you by all that is sacred, to dc
your whole duty on next Tuesday,
Go to the polls and vote, and vote early.
Do not suffer any thing to detain you
at home. Your country demands your
votes for Willard Fillmore. Come up
then and rally around the stan lard OF
the Union, and your votes will be re-
corded for Fillmore and Donelson side
by side with VIDI.
