Authoritive Emasculation of
- Know-Noth;nRisut.

The following extract from an ediGoTiai
In the organ Of the Know.NolhinQ party
published in this city, will be interesting 10
those members of the order who have Cd.
hered TO it upon the approval of The Phil.
sdelphis platform. As the extract Is taken
from the metropolitan organ, we presume
that lis positions are aulhoritive:
awe foresaw then { at the philadelphia
convention, y that The American party would
md 1t necessary to get rid of some Of the
ultraisns contained in its constitution ana
ritual or fail to command the support Of the
country. The use of the term "Roman
Catholic in the constitution of the order was
unwise aud wholly Unnecessary; tbs oaths,
passwords, and signs have always been, u
cur vitw, Objectionable, the exclusion Of
men from the order on The ground Of Cath
oic connections is wholly absurd: and we
irustthat these aid other objections will le
removed at the ensuing session session of
The national council. Indeed, we hope and
believe there will be an open ,rganixation OF
the party after the ensuing special session.
re "ln regard to the platform Of the pasiy
adopted at Philadelphia in jane last, 1t is
evident llere must be tcme change, or kn
entire abandonment Of the organization will
be inevitable. Whilst the rights Of escl,
and all the States should be distinctly sd.
miited and openly guaranteed by the Amer
cFn party, we hold now, as We have ever
held, and as we voted at the sessi n of ths
council in June last, that the question OF
African slavery is one which should not in
any form or manner be incorporated into
The platform Of the American party. We
might with just as much propriety incorpo.
rate lher+in distinctive opinious upon The
tariff, bank, public lands or internal i'm
psoyements
