INVITED TO A BUzZARD FEAST.

Know Nothing editors, il they can boast Of
no other qualities, can al least "brag'' on being
possessed OF good stock of mpud-nce. The
appeals they are now making to the old line
/ Wings for aid, is as amusing as it is heartlrss
and l'npudrnt. Bot few months since, Sam
was in bis glory, and the editors in his interest
were kept busy chronichng Know Nothing vic
tories The character of this desperate faction
and the objects ofts leaders had not been diyul-
ged, and tie people, for short time, were in
duced TO put faith in Sam and his minions.-
But in every State and every county where
Know Nothingism has been tried, il has been
condemned and repudiated Sam's victorious
leglonS have been routed on every field, of late,
and the Democracy of the country-for a time
under cloud-are again in the ascendant, aud
in most OF the States are stronger than ever
That the old line Wings, we say, have contri-
bned, in many instances, to aid the Democrat
ic party, and thus crush out the frI spirit of big
otry and intolerance, is well known and CRATE
fully acknowledged.
Because the old line Wings have pursued this
coursr-brcause, feeling themselves as party
helpless and PowerlrSs--they have aided the
Democratic Party rather than Know Nothing
ism, they abused and latleIvd IN turns, by
the papers OF the Know Nothing party. We
have two papers of that faction now before u.s.
Number one contains a most violent attack up
on the old line Wings, stigmatiziug them ..trai-
tors, ''renegades," 'iapostates,' &c. Number
two contans whining leader, and the editor
must have had tears in his eyes when he wrote
the article. He appeals 10 the old line Wings
for ald-and reminds them that one of their
number is on the 'sUnion State Ticket and
- TN, Il NntbiD,r MI III.
vote ii hr desires to make a show for an elec-
ton. He coaxes and aatterS and whimpprs
like school boy about 10 receive thrashing.
But, will the old line Wings heed these threats
and appeals9 We opne not. Thrs- men will
have no candidates of their own 10 vote for this
talI, and have perfect right to support who
they please, and certainly they have too much
grit and pride of character TO vote for the men
who murdered the Wing party. They will not,
we feel satisfied, accept .hp invitation now Civ
en- them by the Know Nothings, who, not very
long ago, boasted that their party had arisen
from the ruins of the old parties, and secuted
the Wing party as dead beyond the hope of
rrsurrection- pretty invitation, truly =
Wings invited to buzzard's feas, to help dryour
the carcass Of the Wing party, and swallow
down The remnant of it by amalgamation with
Know Noth,ngism--all Of which intended for
the exclusive benefit ofthe secret order Wings
asked to justify the murder of their party -
asked to forget and forgive the maledictions
they have endured for it, and invited into a
coalition 10 be swayed and governed by the
midnight assaSSins who despatched their FIST
and only political love- Will the Wings of
Pennsylvania partake of such feast Will
they soil their garments by connection with
the party they have SO much and SO lnstlv alb
horrec-not merely for the purpose Of defeat
ing The Democracy, as the invitation reads-but
that the reckless oath-bound conspirations NAV
again triumph over the friends OF religious tol- |
erance, OF political equality, and of the Const-
tuition and laws Of our common country Gar
isle Folunteer.
PASSENGERS TAKEN By WEIGHr IN LONDON. |
Jos. LimpuS, The driver of an Isleworth ON
nlbus, was summoned to Guildhali for refusing
TO take the complainant into his omnibus. The |
complainant, Mr.. Edward White, surgeon. |
residing at IS Lambs Conduit street, said he |
hailed The defendant in Fleet street on Tuesday. |
and although there was plenty of room, the de- !
iendant would not take him up, but called out,
"We don't want people of your weight" The |
defence was that the complainant's proportions
were so exceedingly large, that an omnibus
driver was justified in refusing to carry him.
The Act OF Parliament prescribes l6 inches Tor
each person, but if there were many such as
the complainant it would be impossible for an !
omnibus TO carry its proper number, and the
public would be greatly Inconvenience. Al t
