A PREDICTION VERIFIED.

H
We predicted, moi many months ago. that the time
was not far distant when the dangerous and pro-
scrptive principles Of know-nothingism would be-
come odous to the great mass Of the American
people that some Of its most prominent advocates
would be among the first to deny that they had ever
been connected with the order 1t will be seen from
the following extract from the Nashville Union that
this prediction has been fulfilled in Tennessee. as
we'll as in every other State of the Union:
Several of the know nothing candidates in different
portions of the State denying that they connected
with the order Maynard their candidate for CONGRESS
in the Knoxville district insists that he never in
council took of their oaths. Etheridge we u-
derstand is making the defence before the people
Stephens their candidate in the Memphis district admits
that he joined the order but claims the merit Of having
withdrawn from it, and is, therefore, in way bound
by its oaths Franck w Lea the know-nothing candi-
date for the Legislature in Bradley county is out in card
in which he says
During the time of the last Methodist conference in
county town, was informed political meeting was

arrival informed oath had to be taken before

few years will venture to for office who
not show by ncontestable proof that If member

But how much of these denias being made can the
people believe when it is remembered that according
one Of their oaths, they are acora to deny it 2"

HON RICHARD KIDDER MEADE.

This gentleman has just been appointed minister
to Brazil IT is compliment most worthiy bestowed.
The mission itself is really one of the most important
in the gift of the President and requires talents adj
dress and frmness to fill it properly and success
fully. All these qualifications Mr.. Meade possesses
in an eminent degree and will no doubt by his sue
cess in diplomacy, add to his high standing as an
able and popular statesman.
As place of residence, the city of Rio de Janeiro
is one of the most delightful on this continent. The
etiquette of the court is not SO embarrassed by cere-

MASSACHUSETTS,

The Springfield Argus says "there is no doubt
that majority of the electors of Massachusetts, at
this moment are conservative national men, but it is
equally true that the persons composing this major
ity belong to different political organizations, and
have not been accustomed to act in harmony at the
elections We do not know that they do so in
future, although we think there is a tendency
among the national men Of the State to ally them
selves with the democratic party, as the only one
which has strength and vitality enough to accom-
plsh the fna overthrow of fanaticisn in Massachu-
setts -

From the Columbia (Teun.) Herald.
HON. JOHN " WRIGHT AT COLUMBIA.

We alluded briefly in last issue to the fact that
citizens enjoyed the pleasure of listening to able and
convincing speech by Mr. Wright Friday evening" the
Sd instant Mr. Wright elected two years ago from
the 7th district by heavy majority and is candidate
for reelection without opposition This is compliment
well earned by his fidelity and efficiency in the discharge
of his public duties He the youngest member Of
the last Congress- but at its close he stood in the front
ranks for devotion to his duties soundness of principles
ability in the discussion of political questions and in the
eloquence by which his speech characterized In the
next Congress he will take prominent and influential
position and continue to add to his already high eputa
ton.
Although Mr.. Wright has opponent, he is actively
engaged in canvassng his district and in delivering
ries of most powerful and effective speeches With
untrng energy, and an unfaggng devotion to demo-
cratic principles, he is exposing the deformity of know
nothingsm and the humbuggery of distribution with
force Of argument and force of eoquence which tell
ing strongly in promoting the interests Of the democratic
party. We shall be greatly disappointed judging from
Mr. Wrights speech here if he does not roll up larger
majority for Gen Harris in his district than given to
Mr.. Buchanan. The people turning out in large
crowds to hear him, and all accounts in the fact
that he is thinning the ranks of the opposition wherever
he speaks.
