THE TRICKS OF THE OPPOSITION.

friend writes to us that in travelling over good
portion of the State he has observed an unusual dis
position to have plurality of Democratic candi-
dates in Democratic countless and that he is assured
sit is the fruit Of systematic ,oorb of the Knoa0 Moth
ing councils, encouraging disqfecOn By promises Of
support &C." Is this so? Let our friends institute
the inquiry in every county where these troubles
exist, and if they find the secret finger of Know
Nethingism at work. let them expose at once, and
in such manner that every Democrat may under
stand the evil influences which it is seeking to ex-
ert. The pretended Democrat who thinks more of
Office than of principle, and who is willing to hazard
the success of the party by yielding to the seductive
promises of the opposition, is no Democrat in fact
and should at once be driven from the ranks and
classed with the partytO which he rightly belongs
Know NOthingism answer no better purpose than
to relieve of such unsound and designating mate
rial and the sooner we dispense with them the better
We appeal to the masses of the Democratic people
10 watch the movements of our adveTsaries, and
permit no tampering with our candidates.

A COOP K. MA warm discussion is at present
in progress in Pennsylvania to which is the BEST
or most ''ntense American" Wilmot, the Black
Republican candidate for Governor, or Hazlehurst
the straight-out Plug Ugly. The Philadelphia Sun,
the principal Plug Ugly organ in Philadelphia is out
strongly for WilmOt, and labOrs every day through
several columns to prove how good an American
heis. In reply to a contemporary who impeached
Wilmot's Plug Uglyism, the Sun wakes exceedingly
wroth and says:
"Any person who asserts that he (Wilmot is not
American, that he has ever denied or evaded
his Americanism, is idle gossip, base calumna-
tor, and petty liar.

''Whateyer of secrecy may have heretofore at
tached in the organization of the present American
party at its inception, has long since disappeared"
Patriot
Will the Patriot deny that its party is held tOgeh-
er, presided over and controlled by National State
and subordinate Councils? VIII it contend that
the proceedings of those subordinate Councils are
not in secret? VIII it deny that the recent Nation
a. Council which assembled in Louisville had juris
diction over its party in Tennessee? Will it deny
that that National Council adopted declaration of
principles, in which nothing was said on the subject
Of Distribution? VIII it deny that said National
Council claimed for itself poVsr to authorize" each
State Council to amend their several constitutions
SO as to institute a pledge of honor, instead of
other obligations for fellowship and admission into
the party" Will the Patriot contend that the State
Council of Tennessee has avaied itself of any such
&" authority" since it was delegated to it by the
National Council at Louisville? If the Patriot is
disposed to deal fair with the public let it answer
these questions, and we promise readers the
benefit of whatever information it may afford.

RAJ The Patent Ufhce at Washington has received
letter in relation to the cultivation of the poppy
in Germany, from which the following is extract:
& The poppy is cultivated in Southern Germany to
large extent and has been in possession for about
half century, it is the best surrogate for sweet
OIL and has suppanted the use of the imported olive
oil wholly in that country Poppy seed oil is sold in
all the great cities of the United States and if the
cultivation here should be improved, would find
always a ready market and 8 remunerative price
The soil and the climate of the New England States
highly suited for the culture of this article and
they would be able to provide the whole Union with
which goes to France and Italy.

DAVIS, INSTRUCTIONS

Commodore Mervine, in command of the U. S.
naval force at Panama. it is now stated, had no writ.
ten instructions from the last administration to
govern him in his own conduct towards Walker and
the allies in Nicaragua. Capt Davis, in forcing
Walker to capiuate and abandon the country, acted
or pretended to act under instructions from the
Commodore. These instructions are as follows:
U. S. FLAG SHIP INDEPENDENCE,
Bay Of Panama, Jan. 49, 1857.
SIR: You will prepare the United States ship St.
Marys, under your command, for sea, with all prac-
ucable dispatch, and, when ready, proceed to San
Juan del Sur, Nicaragua where the presence of a
man-ot-war is necessary in consequence of the IN
settled state Of public affairs
The precarious and straitened condition of the
forces under Gen. Walker may induce him to at
tempt depredatiOns upon American citizens in that
State, which you will prevent and restrain.
In the event of the expulsion of Walker and his
forces from Nicaragua by the allied armies and his
departure to adjacent territory in Central America
for the purpose of hostile and aggressive operations
YOU will take such further measures with the force
under your command, as circumstances shall re-
qure for tie adequate protection of American citi
zens.
1t is not possible by any construction of these in
structions to justify the conduct of the Commander
Of the ST. Marys.

THE FOURRH IL GXINGTON.

The nations birth dac g,as appropriately cele-
brated at Lexington by aa unusually large con-
course of persons from various portions of the
try, in laying the corner zone of the Clay Monu-
ment. An eloquent orati,il was delivered by the
Rev. Robert Breckenridge. From lengthy report
of the proceedings of the b, given in the Cincin-
natl Commercial, we extr q the following para
graphs:
AsHLAND.-The especial <ints of visitation were
those halloWed to the m, DRY Of Clay. First in
order Ashland, now the residence of James b.
Clay democratic" candidate for Congress in the
district so long represented by his father. This is
situated the south side Of the main road eastward
from the town, distant from the court house about
a mile and a half, and from the road perhaps two
hundred yards. The new house erected on the site
of the old house of Clay, is splendid building in
the style of the old one II is, in fact, exagge-
ration of the original. The grounds and shrub
berry are nearly when they the favOrite
haunt of Harry Of the West. The popular impress
sion that the house is surrounded by ash trees is
incorrect. The ash is the forest tree that predom
mates in the native woods around, but locust trees
are the kings of the grove at Ashland. The favor
lite walk of Mr. Clay is pointed out 1t leads north
ward towards the turnpike. On one side is row of
gigantic lOcusts, and the walk is bOrdered by tall
and rich orchard grass. The clamOr about the de-
vastation of Ashland by Mr.. James B. Clay is in
great part a humbug. His house is the perfection
of the idea of the architect who designed the old
one, and the grounds are grand and lovely as when
the great man of kentucky solaced himself in their
soothing shade.

AN UNGRATEFUL CANDIDATE.

Col. 10. Pickett, the Know Nothing candidate for
Congress in the fourth district declares upon the
stump that he would not support John Bell for
oonstaj5e-that he has been ''pamPered in Uncle
Sans stable long that he has got entirely above
the people and ought to be turned out. He is there
fore for a new man.
Col. Pickett's object is to avoid defence of Mr..
Bell. This may be shrewd, but we submit if it is
not very ungrateful that Mr.. Bell should be thus
assailed in his own house, by man who is at the
same time mounted upon his hobby of Distribution,
and seeking to ride it into Congress?
IA The death of Mr.. Marcy on the 4th of July,
reminds US that several other distinguished Ameri-
cans have died on that anniversary. Ex-Presidents
John Adams and Jefferson died July 4th, 1926, the
fftieth anniversary of our independence; and ex-
President Monroe died July 4th 1881.

CIR E. E N S AND MARL
OF NEW JERSEY.

THE New Jersey Fertilizer Company is now
Il prepared to receive orders for this important
manure. For all lands upon which ashes are ben
e6cial, the Mari is more than substitute.
Prof. Cook in his Annual Report to the Legis-
lature of New Jersey says "The value of these
Mars is best seen in the rich and highly cultivat-
ed district which has been improved, almost made.
by their use :: but it may be Interesting to exam
inc the causes of their great value in Agriculture,
and to compare them with other fertilizers. For
example: The potash alone may be taken at an
average of five per cent. of the whole weight of the
Mari. bushel when dry weighing eighty pounds,
and in the proportion mentioned would contain
four pounds of potash; this is nearly as much as
there is in bushel of atnleached mood astes'' And
again-it is probable that the great value of the
Mari is to be found in the fact that contains near
ly all the substances necessary to make up the ash
of our common cultivated plants.
Price, delivered on board vessel at the wharves
of the Company at Portland Heights on Raritan
Bay, New Jersey, seven cents per bushel. For
further particulars see Circular, sent free of pos
tage. Orders for other fertilizers will receive
prompt attention. Address either of the under.
