Mr.. Collins.

The Lagrange Bulletin--a neutral paper
in publishing the Card of Mr.. Collins, an
nouncing himself candidate for Congress
IN this District, says:
At the request of many voters, Mr.. j.
M. Collins, Of this place, has consented to
become an independent candidate for Con-
gress from this District. Mr.. Collins is an
ont and out American in principle, and no
doubt would make an able and faithful rep
resentative. He intends to canvass the en-
tire district, and we predict that Clark will
find "hard road to travel" when he meets
Collins on the stump. We had began to
think that the American party were going
to suffer the election TO 60 by default, but
we are glad this is not to be the case,

"The Know Nothing Ritual was drawn,
and the Maj read therefrom, and among
other things he read that clause, binding the
members 10 secrecy in regard to the mem
bershih of another, thereby saddling upon
himself that odium and perjury, which he
had charged upon others. But while the
Major was thus portraying the iniquity Of
those Democrats who had revealed the Know
nothing secrets, our attention was directed
to Clark II. Green, who, everybody knows,
published to the world the names of many
of the members of the Council, while the
solemn oath was in full operation. y Ban

Now, sherei is just two falsehoods in Che
