the fields of battle, on the day of election, be-
tween the Know Nothings and the Democrats.
Muskets, pistols, bowie knives and swlvels,
were freely used. From fifty to sixty were
killed upon the spot, and many more wounded
Houses were broken into and much property
destroyed And what was all this about, the
reader will ask. The answers at hand. The
Know Nothings, or those styling themselves
Native Americans, par excellence, had deter
mined that no one should vote except such as
they. in their wisdom and condcscension, should
determine had the right. The democrats re-
sisted this high handed assumption, and en-
deavored to protect our mo turalizcd citizens in
their rights, and hence the bloody results in
in the city Of Baltimore. These scenes of vio-
lencc and boodshcd in New Orleans, Balti.
more, and other cities of this Union, will for
ever blackcn the page of American history up
on which it is written, and will remain a
damning stain upon the Know Nothing party
and its political escutcheon, that no time nor
art will wash away.

see, and the courage to proclaim, that the
election Of professedly sectional candidate by
q sectional vote would dissolve this Union.
What shall we say Of Mr.. Wse--active,
bold, efficient and farseeing as he has been in
oil the late troubles arising from the combina-
ton Of Know Nothingism and Abolition? We
cannot leave him to the abuse Of his enemies,
who hate him most because he has done most
to conquer them. When Know Nothingism
was in the height Of its glory and power, and
seemed invincible; when many quailed and fall
tered before it, Mr.. Wise, as readily as Napo-
leon, invented a new system Of tactics, and
bore down all before him. He denounced,
abused and dashed Sam round and round the
good cd monwcalth--whipped him and
taught other how to whip him.
Union man, as Mr. Wise has always been,
his patriotism was put to the hardest test when
he found it necessary TO threaten u dissolution
Of the Union, in order to preserve it. Here
again he took the lend, and was more exposed
to misconstruction abuse and obloquy, than
any other man.
But he did not stand alone; the whole De.
mocracy Of the North and the South stood by
him and fought shoulder to shoulder with
him. We notice him especially because he
has been most vililied and abused.

Hon. Thomas G.. Davidson.

This gentleman, our able and efficient repre-
sentative Of this District, in Congress, left his
home, on Sunday morning last, for Washing
ton city He carries with him the best wishes
of the democracy of his district, for his health
and welfare, and he can meet and rejoice with
his fellow-democrats in Congress- with the con-
seriousness of having done his whole duty in the
great struggle which has just terminated so
glorously for the country and the democracy,
as well in Louisiana as in the whole Union.
Col. Davidson has not been idle since his
return from the late session of Congress. He
commenced the battle very soon after he ar
rived home, and continued in the field of action
almost necessarily, welding his ponderous bat
tle-axe most powerfully and skillfulIy, up to
the day OF the final and triumphant charge
The gain in his district is over one thousand
since the election of Governor, one year ago.
In this glorious work he was most efficiently
aided by our able and talented elector, John
McVea, Esq, and Major Heron, Secretary
Of State, a host within himself.

The Louisiana Presbytery.


This body Of divines and elders has been in
session in this place for some five or six days
past 1t has just concluded its labors, and the
delegates have separated for their homes.
Public worship was held twice day during
their stay. Both preachers and elders were a
fine looking set Of men. and their deliberations
were conducted with becoming dignity and de-
corum. The clergy are highly educated, and
prepare their sermons with much care and at
tention to system and order. Judging from
the specimens we heard On this occasion we
should judge it to be n popularity Of the
preachers of that denomination, to deal more
in the terrors than the consultations of religion
But be this as it may, they have won the con-
fdcnce and respect of all who made their ac-
quantance, as gentlemen of eminent piety and
fine social qualities. They we're pleased with
their visit to Clinton, and the people were
pleased with them. May they always meet Il
kind and generous reception wherever they CO.
in their mission to promote moral and religious
among the people.

Baltimore and New Orleans have the dis.

driven from the polls at the point of the bayo-

the infamous work. In Baltimore it was still

The Result.

The fate Of the Know Nothing party should
he, as no doubt it will, n warning to ALL Set
ting out with q secret organization, binding
its members, under the most solemn onths, to
abide by the will Of the majority, as expressed
through their grand council, and threatening
the most terrible imprecatons upon the heads
of the refractory it for time seemed to carry
everything before it. Every northern state
had been completely swept by it, and great
and fearful apprehcnsions were entertained
that the southern states would also yield to its
receptions and enlist under its banner. But
it was left for the Old Dominion. God bless
her, to say, thus far shalt thou go and no far
Their thv proud waves be stayed The indom-
table Wise met and exposed its dangerous
doctrines and monstrous deception, to the good
people Of that renowned old state, and from
that time up to the present, Know Nothing
ism has been going down in the estimation of
the American people, until now, the candidate
of its choice, the model President, Willard
Fillmore, has received hut eight electoral votes
for the first Office in the gift Of the people
With all his high character as a man and dis
tinction asa public functuary, in the past his
tory of the country, he could command but
one state out of the thirtyone and but seven
hundred and fifty thousand votes out of three
million seven hundred and fifty thousand that
have been polcd at the recent election What
comment upon their Dragging and boasting!
What signal blasting of all their hopes and
antcipations!
Can any man at all familiar with the histo
~ of the old Wing party, believe for a mo.
ment that Willard Fillmore would have made
such an abortve failure, if that respectable old
party had still kept up its organization, and
he had been its nominee? Does any one be-
licve that he would have been the hndmost
candidate in the Presidential race?
Know Nothingism has not only killed of
Willard Fillmore and every other man of dis.
tinction, great and small, that belongs to that
fragment of party, but it has most effectual
ly killed off one of the great national parties
which was SO necessary to the preservation o.
the Union Instead of the old Wing party,
organized in every State in the Union, as in
days past, we have in its place, the Black Re
publican party north, and the American party
south, threatening the very existence of the
Republic itself
Know Nothingism has not only ruined the
Wing party, but it has driven the very flower
of thai renowned old party into the Democrat
ic ranks, who sig nally aided us in electing Mr.
Buchanan to be our next President. This VIC
may set down among the good things it has
accomplished. We must also give it credit
for purging the democracy of all those restless
olliceseekers and time servers, that any party
is better off without than with. Let it's fate
be warning to all, but especially to the pure
and unsuspecting. The lesson should not be
lost.
