STRIKING CONTRASTS.

The Know Nothings concOct their political action
in secret: swear their votaries to silenee-tO KnOw
Nothing of what is ordered or performed--to be
ignorant as Witnesses and to screen the order when
on juries. They, under midnight orders, seek to
prevent the elector from voting, and beat, bruise,
shoot and often murder those who resist their IN
lawful and criminal acts. Let New Orleans Louis
vile, Baltimore, Washington, and other cities tes-
tify.
The Black Republicans profess great sympathy
for the coored race at distance, and practice
at home. They denounce the laws Of other States
as harsh but when they have the power, they enact
unconstitutional and tyrannical ones at home. They
rave because their invalid laws not respected,
and insist they should control right wrong until
the Courts declare them unconstitutional; while at
the same time they denOunCe the Supreme Court for
decision that is undOubted law, and proclaim their
intention not 10 conform 10 il.
The Democratic party sympathizes with all prop
er objects Of sympathy everywhere not overlooking
those al its own door. 1t is opposed TO secret pOli
cal societies. and to all interference with the voter
and to every infraction Of the peace violation Of
the laws and believes in being open and frank upon

SaR.a Aana's expected return 10 MszgcO-Spicon Of
Spgnish Scheme IN that soaae1ioa- Capt. Dagis and
Gen WGLtsT-NO Instructions on fls &c.
communicated to you some days ago the fact
that letters from members Of Gen. Santa Anna's
family had been received BY his friends in the o.
s., stating that within ninety days that resource
fU and veteran chief WOuldagain plant his standard
in Mexico. Several circumstances have occurred to
corrobOrate this fact Not only Gen. Santa Annals
manifesto and confidential circulars, but events in
Cuba appear to render it certain that expedition
is on foot in aid Of the restoration Of Santa Annals
power in Mexico Frequent revolutionary attempts
BY Santa Annals friends in various parts of Mexico
are chronicled in Mexican journals; and that they
are all suppressed is more difficult Of belief than
that they were evidences Of 8 general reaetionary
organization.
The part which Spain intends TO take, either
openly or covertly, in the restoration ofSanta Anna
and Of his plan Of an imperial government is Of
more Importance to US than any mere change of one
government for another in Mexico would be. II
Spain has formed any alliance with Santa Anna,
looking to the re-establishmeut of Spanish domi-
MON IN Mexico it may lead TO the ultimate expulsion
of Spanish power from America.
It is stated that no order can be found at the Navy
Department, from the present or late Secretaries,
either to Commander Mervine OF Commander Davis,
which could justify his late convention with Gen.
Walker. or his interference in any mode with Wal
ker's affairs. This may be so. fad in the state
ment OF Gen. Henningsen report Of the eXplana
tions Of Captain Davis on this subject Though he
had erred to orders and instructions yet he pro-
fessed to rest his conduct upon his own responsible
lily That being the case it is hardly worth while
to look further for the instructions if any there
were. Our aspiring lieutenants are sometimes TOO
fond of taking responsibilities, as We have seen
several striking instances Ion.

KNOW NOTHING TRTCKERY

In 1906 Congress granted to Tennessee all the
public lands North and East of the Congressional
Reservation line, reserving 100000 acres for two
universities, 100 900 acres for academies and other
reservations for common schools.
In I84l the land West Of the Congressional Res
ervation line we're placed in the hands Of the State
of Tennessee, for sale, as agent of the United
States. at nomincE prices, and in 1916 the United
States released her claim to the public lands remain
ing and also to the money that hsd been collected
bv the State under the act Of Al.
In 1884 Congress passed an act to deposit por-
ton Of the public revenue with the States, under
the operation of which law Tennessee received her
portion, and has been enjoying it, and one ever
thinks Of its being returned TO the general govern
ment
And now Is it not evident that the Know Nothings
are guilty Of either ignorance on the subject or Of
having nisrepresented the facts for mere political
effect, for when they say in one Of their resolutions
in their latest platform;
Resolved That Tennessee, in her insulated DO
sioH heretofore omitted among the fayOrites in the
distribution Of the public lands, with her load Of
debt incurred for the development Of her resources
has a deep stake in that policy which shall do her
Justice and supply the means Of saving her people
from taxation. - Columbia Herald.

A CmCUAsTANCE.-Early in the present month,
the party calling itself American" held Nation
al Council in Louisville KY. An address, a plan of
organization and platform Of principles we're adop-
ted This address and platform We find in the last
number of the Telegraph, but strange as it may ap-
pear we find nothing in either in favor Of the dstri-
button of the public lands among the States. Dis
tribution is the leading issue rendered by the party
in Tennessee in the present canvass. We have here
tofore regarded it as q trick farce, or a humbug;
but if it was regarded as an absuTdity too great to
be adopted by a Know Nothing National Council, as
one of the obnoxious acts of the Whig party, for
which that Council will not be held responsible, the
people ought TO know 1t. Probably Col Hatton and
his followers are advocating distribution ques-
ton of State policy. We trust some of the Know
Nothing papers will give the people information on
this particular point. Is Mr.. Hatton advocating a
doctrine as q leading issue in this canvass which is
not embraced, or which is repudiated, by his own
party 2-NlT. Neacs.

VIRGINIA GoLD.-The Richmond Wig has exam
ined several specimens of gold ore the richest it had
SEEN not excepting those from California, which
we're taken from the Norvell mines in Albemarle
county, twenty five miles Southwest from Chariotts-
vile, and seven miles from Howardsville, and
the line of Albemarle and Nelson. These mines are
now occupied and leased by Mr.. George W. Fisher;
and he states that with four hands, in less than two
DAYS and half, and with inadequate preparations
for the work, he succeeded in getting out ore to the
value of $500. These are new mines, and from the
specimens Of the ore exhibited, the Wing considers
them the richest and most promisieg in the State
one having been estmsted at $50, 600 with but very
little extraneous matter. There is doubt that the
Old Dominion is very beautifully supplied with min
eral wealth.

CHRISTIANITY THE GROUND WORK OF OUR
INSTITUTIONS.

lNSIlIU IlONS.
In the early part of the present year, when Gen.
Pierce was still in the Presidential Chair, the Amer-
can Bible Society presented him, in his official
capacity, copy of the standard edition of the Bible
"a gift fit to be made, and proper be received by
the Chief Magistrate of a Christian people-'to re-
main sacred deposit, through many generations
so that every successive incumbent of that great
Office will have his eyes turned to this book as safe
counsellor in the discharge of his high duties -
The society has just given publicity to the Presi-
dents reply. After acknowledging the receipt Of
the priceless volume, he says:
Although in our political institutions there is no
union of church and State, yet the religion of our
divine Saviour is not the less all pervading prin-
CHILE Of the laws the sentiments, the moral and
social exstance of the people Of the United States.
Christianity auimates our nationality; 1t is the true
spIrit of good governments It is the characteristic
ana peculiar quality Of modern civilizations il is the
noble bond of connection, which by community of
religious convictions, attaches together and eleYates
into relative superiority Of intelligence and power
the sovereign States Of Europe and America. And
wherever Christianity diffuses itself among all the
nations of the EARTH II goes to be the heard OfciYi
cation as well as Of salvation.
ssOfthis last and best gift Of the merciful CreG-
tor to his creatures the Holy Book is the inspired
record. Il is full Of all human wisdom, but still
more of that loftier, heavenly wisdom, which de-
sends to US from high the aud bic voice Of the
Almighty.
stAs memorial of your pious labOrs to the end
of placing copy of the Bible in every household
of the habitable world, and first Of all in every
household Of our own beloved country, and
sacred deposit, this copy win be transmitted by
me to my successor to be their intimate counsellor
and sure guide in the arduOus duty Of administering
the executive affairs Of the Union"

Journal Of HEALTH gvessome excellent advice in re-
gard to living particularly where we take into
count the prices we have to pay for every thing we
eat He says:
" We belive a man feels happy after plain
dinner as after a luxurious one certain are We, that
he sleeps sounder that night, and feels better for
It all next day, all the advantage 20 the luxurious
is the transient passage down the throat. White
beans whole or split peas, hominy, Oat meal, corn
meal, samp, hulied corn, crushed wheat and rice,
are among the cheapest, most wholesome and most
nutritious articles of food, and all alike recommen-
ded to those who want to be healthy. If fruits
we're largely used with the above diet either baked
If green, or stewed when dried, both the digestion
ana health would be greatly improved to say moth
