The Montgomery Advertiser.

Our attention has been called to the Mont
gomery Advertiser, Alabama, of 23d August,
in which somebody, in that paper, makes
great huIlabalOo because we stated early in
August that there was then "no Democratic
electoral ticket in the State of New York"
1t is not our practice to examine more than
three or four of our exchanges are
prominent opposition papers, we leave the
residue to our assistant, and, on an inquiry,
we understood, when we wrote the article,
that no such ticket had been formed, but that
in New York, it was usual to form the electo-
raj tickets in September. We SO stated, but
the point was wholly unimportant, it was
matter of not the slightest consequence, and
yet the Advertiser takes the occasion to alude
to it as our usual disregard of political truth
We pity the man who could utter such SEN
timent on such an occasion. But the writer
of the article makes another charge in the fol-
lowing paragraph, in the same article He
says:
eve shall not hypocritically express surprise
at such papable, inexcusable misstatements, but
will say that we are sincerely surprised that South
ern men will patronize that Organ whose editor,
Vespasian Ellis openly and BOLDLY ADVOCATED the
restoration of the Missouri Compromise last year
in his columns, and at the June National Council
We have the files Of his paper, and can prove his
anti-Southern, anticonservative views" aa
The writer of that article has evidently so
much hatred towards us, he has hazarded his
own reputation for veracity, in making state
ments to prejudice our circulation, and he
adds, that he "has files of our paper to prove"
what he alleges.
In order to place ourself completely in the
power of that writer, who has our files before
him, we state, that necer, at any time, on any
occasion, or an any place, did we "openly
and boldly" (or otherwise "a iyocate the res
toration of the Missouri Con promise" Do
we meet the issue or notg II not, will the
writer please say in what shape he wishes our
denial? If we have met the issue, will the
author of the charge please 90 ahead and fur
nish his proofsf

FOR THE AMERICAN ORGAN.
A Base Trick Exposed.o

Mr.. Editor Sir, | am happy to inform you that
the cause of Mr.. Fillmore is fast gaining ground in
Iowa. The Fremont party are becoming fully SEN
sibe of their misery, and in their last agonies of
despair are stopping to means the most degrading
and unprincipled that the most polluted heart could
devise to keep up semblance of life in an expiring
cause. They have forgotten the dignity of men Of
honor, and are plungng into the lowest and dirti-
est pools of falsehood and degradation, to fish for
phantoms that may give them the faintest CLEAN
of the most distant hope of even apparent life. AS
an instance: ..
In the issue of their organ of August 90, called
the " oskaloosa Herald" appears an article pur-
porting to be the proceedings of the " American
State Council of Iowa." which resolves the repud-
alton of Fillmore and Donelson and endorses the
nomination of Fremont. Now, sir, this whole af
fair is fiction, a base libel forgery gotten up
by four or five Fremont men, for the purpose of
attempting to make the impression abroad that
the Fillmore party In Iowa have repudiated their
standard-bearer, and endorsed the unworthy Abo-
lition candidate, Fremont. There was no meeting
OF the Council at Oskaloosa, as the pretended re-
cord claims, nor was any such meeting expected
or thought of-this publication being base libel,
gotten up without the semblance of anything to
give it birth, but the base and unprincpled peril
dy OF those few that manufactured it.
The Republican party, in the agony of despair
for their sinking cause are ready to resort to any
means, no matter how contemplate, to make the
smallest conceivable amount of capital After
having exhausted their energies in circulating the
false report that Fillmore had no electoral ticket
in Iowa, and seeing their trick promptly and sue
oessfuly exposed and refuted by the springing up
OF sundry Fillmore papers in the State, and the
publication OF the electoral ticket they in their
death struggle rally all their powers, concoct and
give publicity to this the browning sheaf of their
degradation.
You will no doubt see the "bogus proceeding /"
IN your exchanges and will promptly refute the
lying scheme. We hope the perpetrators of such
base falsehoods will meet the lust rebuke thew well
merit from the hands of all honest and Union.loy-
ing men and American citizens Let their shame
be fully and firmly exposed AMERICAN.

.ftT The old liners, we know, have OPP
posed the use of the Bible in the public
schools. To object to its circulation among
the people, and to refuse material aid" to
the American Bible Society may become a
cardinal old line principle Madison Courier.
We deny the charge in toto that the old
liners have opposed the use of the Bible in
public schools. That story was started by
Know Nothing bigots, and was long since
put to rest. We are not so certain, however,
but that Democrats did ought to refuse 'ma-
terial aid" to certain Bible Society agents,
who go about the country gathering up
money under pretence of purchasing Bibles
for distribution among the "destitute," but
who employ large portion of the time for
which they are paid out Of the money so col
lected in retailing pitiful ISLANDERS against the
Democratic party. We now have in our
minds eye one such agent, who does not live
a hundred miles from Madison.

ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

PsErrr COOP JokE.-Schouler, of the
Cincinnati Gazette, tells a good joke upon
one of the Know Nothing brethren. He
says:
'One of the best jokes of the season is the
following: When Mr.. Dunn, of Indiana,
made his personal explanation the other day,
he made use of the words often quoted, that
Cesar had party, and Antony had a party,
but Rome had no party in this House: II
appears that warm and jublant member OF
the American party in New York, who prob
ably is not well read in classical literature

in which be wanted to know why in h-l
Rome should have a party in Congress, when
that foreign power had ruled America for the
last twenty-five years. Ex-Governor Slade

specimen of the Know Nothings in New

One OF THE "KNow NoTHINGs."-Thee ed
itor of the Lafaytte Courier, who pretends to
have been present. gives the following account
of speech he says was made in the State
House on the evening before the meeting of
the State Conventions:
The two most prominent speeches of the
evening were made by Gordon Tanner-a
man who has always been a Whig. Joined the
Know Nothings one year ago to get Office,
but was defeated last fall, for lack of conf
dence in his ability or honesty by the people,
but who was few days since appointed by
Gov. Wright, to the Office of Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas of his district.
Now, the trutRis, Mr.. Tanner didn't make
any speech on the occasion alluded to; Mr..
Tanner has never been whig; never joined
the Know Nothings; never was defeated for
an Office that we ever heard of; and never
was appointed Judge of the Court of Com
mon Pleas.

OF The Know Nothing members of Con-
gress are just now engaged in the laudable
occupation of reading each other out of the
party. Campbell, of Ohio, reads out Hum
phrey Marshall, of Kentucky, for his pro-
slavery doctrines and Marshall reads Camp
bell out for his abolitionism. Eustis, of
Louisiana, says no man can be a true "Amer-
lean" OK. ny who subscribes to the 9th ar
ticle of the Philadelphia platform, proscrib-
ing native Catholics while Smith, of Ala
bama, says anti-Popery is the corner stone OF
the Know Nothing party, and no man can be
regarded as true brother who does not
denounce all Catholics, whether native or
foreign. If every fellow who is read out Of
the X. n. party goes out and stays out, there
will be precious few left in it.

rGreat stress is laid upon the fact that
the Fusion press of Mr.. Dunn's district-the
Madison papers especially-denounce his
course ON the Speakership question. Mr..
Dunn is stronger than all the Fusion papers
in his district combined. In 1854, when Mr..
d. came out as candidate for Congress in
opposition to Capt. Hendricks, the Irregular
nominee" of convention, they denounced
Dunn as "bolter," a" disorganizer," &C.,
&C.; but half dozen speeches from Mr..
Dunn suficed to drive Hendricks from the
track and all the Fusion papers into his sup
port. So it will be again.

IFor several years before the advent of
Sam with his coterie of bats, and owls, and
dark lanterns, George ID. Prentice was in the
constant habit of blackguarding Gen. Pitcher
through the columns Of his Journal. He
blackguarded him for his ungodly profanity,
and sacrleigious remarks concerning the Vir-
gin Mary and the Saviour of the world, espe-
cially. He also took DR.. Borland, of Arkan-
sas, and Sam Houston, of Texas through sew
eral courses, characterising the one misera-
bic little pill-vender, with more of the ruff
fianly blackguard than the gentleman in his
composition, and the other as beastly, drum
ken sot, who contended with the swine for
the rights of the gutter. These gentlemen
were then prefessed Democrats, but now that
they belong to the Hindoo faith, the Editor
takes them to his bosom as confidential ad-
visers. and covers them all over with the filth
of his embrace, befouling them with a sick
ly and Shiny kiss-Louis. Times.

Plurality Vote.

The editor of the Journal appears to be
very desirous that the House of Representa-
tives shoull adopt the plurality vote in the
election of a Speaker, and proceeds to de-
nounce all those who do not square with his
own notions on this subject. He says the
Democrats set the example of adopting the
plurality system, and therefore they ought
to vote to adopt it now we suppose -eenr
of Georgia, was chosen Speaker under this
rule But the journal should remember that
the Democrats in Congress occupie da very
different position then from what they do
now. They then had nominal majority in
the House, and were responsible to the coun-
try for the time and money consumed in
trying to effect an organization. They cut
'the Gor1ian Knot BY adopting the plurality
rule, and thus choosing Speaker Now,
however, they are lean and powerless mi
nority. They have never been able to con-
centrate more than seventy-six votes on their
candidate, and this is less than one-third of
the voting strength of the House. To hold
this minority responsible for the non-organi-
zation of the House is an absurdity too gross
to be worthy of serious refutation. II the
opponents of the Democratic party want to
adopt the plurality rule and thus elect Spea-
ker, they have the power to do so; but to
suppose that the Democratic members will
give any vote which shall in any manner,
directly or indirectly, contribute to the elec-
ton of Black Republican or bigoted
Know Nothing to the Speakers chair, is sim
ply ridiculous.

sition, the Democrats have nothing to do
