LmELs AND LIBEL Surs.-Thc Hon BOBBY
Brooks says that The directors Of the Michigan
Southern Railroad have begun an action for libel
against us for statements of their plans Of finance

Other journals state that Dan. Sicklcs has also
commenced an action for libel against the HERALD.
II So We can only say That il would be bet

Timothy Underwood and the lion. Eli Thayer, Of
the Homestead Aid and Free Labor Association,
looking towards Virginia, have sent us an advcr-

course the advertisement doe not appear in

and never mean TO break, like brokers

lion. John Timothy Underwood expect under
cover Of their free labor pcculatons TO get adyer-
tiscmenis out Of us on credit, they have mistaken
the latitude and longitude Of New York, and
should Immediately avail themselves Of the newly

fHE On FABLE or THE BUNDLE or SrlCss.-
From statement which appears in another CO.
lumn it will i've seen that an effort is being made
10y portion Of the German democrats of Brook
Ign 20 shake of the domination of the old politi
cal hacks Of The party, and to do away with pri-
mary elections. With this view they have been
for The last six weeks organizing their ranks, and
have finally succeeded in constituting their ward
clubs and their Central Committee. Much as We
are inclined to favor such q movement, We are
afraid that il is the old story Of the Tammany
divisions over again. There is another section
of the Brooklyn democrats who have also their
ward clubs and committee, and who no doubt
alfo claim similar integrity of purpose. What
are these clubs, after ALI but the old system Of
the primary elections. We are told that this
new German organization has also FOR its object
TO obtain from the democratic party the bona i'd
acknowledgment Of their political equality. This
purpose may possibly consolidate the divided ele-
rnents of their organization and give them the
weight that they look for in the next elcctioa.
We are somewhat sceptical as to this result; but
should our authorizations prove groundess, we
have no doubt that the example thus set Of dis
eaIding the corrupt influences which at present
divide the councils of the party, will have a
Wholesome effect on the other sections into which
il is split.

We regard ii as important that the public should
be kept in constant mind Of the repulsive and dan
QsrOus character of the basis Of the present Know
Nothing organizatiOnits anti-republican character,
its dsOrganizing tendencies its demoralisng effects
and the innumerable evils that would result from the
bare oountenaneing Of such an organization. We
cannot more efectually do this than by publishing,
and occasionally repubiishing their horrd and dis.
gusting Osths, which were sought to be imposed as
tranmels upon the free citizens 50 long as one in
the land could be found who would take them.
They have been so much commented on that COM
ment is unnecessary. It is only necessary for the
people to occasionally re-read them, and then fle
them away for future reference. They wiz serve
as q wholesome admOnition to those who will come
upon the theatre of politics after US
We have heretofore published two Of these oaths.
The following is third they we're in The habit
Of administering, Read it, and remember that Mr.

ANoTHER EVIDENCE OF THE FRAUD.

We hays said, and proven time and again. that The
present prohigate plunderng proposition Of distri
button was piece Of rank humbuggery, set on foot
with no hope Of success, as virtually admitted By
Mr. Bell in his speech in the Senate, extracts from
which we have heretofore published in our paper
As we have stated, it would be absurd to contend
that the Know Nothing party are serious IN the agi-
tstion Of such question with an immoEaole Demo
cratic Congress and President staring them ~ me
face We have also aludedto the fact that thron On
ont the whole Union. in Tennessee alone hSs any
marty assembled and grsvey adopted such an e1plo-
dad nroposition as leading feature Of political falth
exceDt in Virginia. where the idea was mol even
trasts5 with ordinary respect as shown By the re-
.,t .ls,tions in that State We have shown the in
sincerity Of their argument in favor Of resorting to
this system as means Of checking the OdiOus prae-
tee Of giving away the public lands TO new States
for railroad purposes by proving that Mr.. Bell him
self had been an earnest advocateof all heseW waste
l grants, and that he gave special assurance in his
speeeh to the new States that he did not propose to
damage that policy but WASH favor Of continuing the
making these large grants oflsndto the new States
for internal improvement purposes. But We desire
to furnish another evidence that it is palpablefrauo
destitute Of particle of sincerity, originating with
no other view than to conceal the hideOus features
of Know Nothingism and dsllde the people into its
support. We shall quote an authority Of no less
consequence than the Hon John Bell himself In O
lengthy speech delivered near MurfreesbOro on the
DIST Of September, l84s in aluding the old issues
Of the Wing party, he said with much emphasis
Tu the very nature Of things, the questions OF the
Tariff. United States Bank, the sub Treasury, DiN
trib,3a &c are eranssceni, fraHSito7, and IN gene
