The TRIUMpHs OF ow-NoTHINGIsM.
The know-nothings (says the Raleigh
Standard) have one member of the House
of Representatives from the three sove-
reign States of Virginia, North Carolina
and South Carolina. Just think of it
one member frorn three States; and
that member is Mr. Gilmer, of the Gull
ford district, who was defeated for Gov
crnor by only thirteen thousand ma
jority.
The triumphs of know-nothingism arc
indeed striking and impressive. They
have rendered themselves an object Of
of general attention. Everybody con-
graduates them ON their success, and all
eyes are turned upon Mr.. Gilmer as the
lone dark-lantern from Virginia, North
Carolina and South Carolina.

The Prospect in MARYLAND.

The triumph of Know-nothingism in
Maryland at the last Presidential election,
is regarded by the oracles of that faction
as conclusive of their success in the State,
at the approaching contest. But we can
not regard it as such. We have an abb
ding hope and belief, predicated upon
the political action of our State during
the past several years, and upon the "s So
Der second thought of the people," that
Maryland will now return to the fold
from which she unguardedly strayed. -
That belief is strengthened, too, by the
numerous secessions that have taken
place from the Know nothing ranks in
some of their stronghold counties during
the past year. We believe, too, that the
avowed and open coalition of Know-no-
things and Black Republicans in Penn
sylvania and other Northern states will
have the effect of Withdrawing from their
ranks a host of conservative men who
acted in concert with them at the Presi-
dental election under the mistaken i'm
preston that the Fillmore men Of the
North were free from abolition proclivi-
tics. Now that their identity with abo-
litionism is established, and their HOSTILE
ty to the interests Of the South manifest
ed beyond a doubt, they have no right
to reckon upon the support OF Maryland
conservatism. It would be suicidal in
our citizens to fight any longer under the
flag of Know-nothingism. To elect the
Know-nothing candidates this fall would
be to aid in placing our State by the
side of those who sought to erase fifteen
stars from the banner of.our country and
baild up the testimonials Of scctarianism
upon the ruins of nationality. But we
look with confidence to different action
on the part of our people. Their loyalty
to the Constitution and their practical
patriotism, all conduce to the belief that
they will in this contest be found in the
ranks Of the Democracy.

THE Son OF AN IRrsH MECHANIC. The
following notice of the late Senator Rusk
appears in the Troy On. Y. ) Budget:
The nation is now bewailing the loss
of Thomas j. Rusk, gallant soldier in
the cause of liberty, and statesman of
commanding influence. He was among
the first of the Texan volunteers to
avenge the atrocities of the Mexicans up
on American citizens, and served faith
fully through the war fer the indepen-
dence of the Lone STAR To his wise
foresight the victory of San Jacinto is
mainly attributable, and when Houston
was wounded, he it was who counter
manded the order to halt, and cried,
Push on, boys, push on ? and they did
push on, with the terrible war cry of re-
tribution, Remember the Alamop As
President of Texas and its chief justice,
in his advocacy of annexation, and as U.
States senator since that event, he occu
pied commanding position, and in every
situation showed himself true american.
And yet his father was stone-mason,
and ar emigrant from Ireland, who set
tied in Pendleton district, South Carolina,
upon land belonging to John G. Calhoun,
where Thomas ]. Rusk was born Such
man would have been prohibited from
holding Office were the nothing par
" III The ascendency; the blood of his
father would have worked an attaindcr
against him, and the country must have
been deprived of his eminent services.
This one practical illustration of the folly
and injustice of distinctive Americanism
carries with it stronger argument than
any that ever emanated from the secret
lodges, under the delusive cry that Anne
ricans must rule America Where in
the annals of our history can we point to
man more deeply imbued with the
spirit of true Americanism than Thomas
j. Rusk, the son OF an Irish mechanic.

DIr. Buchanan,s Cabinet.

The new Cabinet was, after much trbula-
ton, made up yesterday, 5th, and sent to
the Senate, where it was Immediately con-
firmed. 1t is composed as follows:
Sec'y. of State-Lewis Cass, of Mich.
Secy of Tred.-Howell Cobb, Geo.
Sec'y. Of War-John B. Floyd, of Va.
Sec'y. of the Wavy-Isaac Toucey, of Conn
Secy ofthe Interior ]. Thompson, of Miss
attorney General-Judge Black, of Pa.
p M Gener0l-Aaron v Brown, of Tenn
This is not strong cast Messrs. Cass
and Cobb ftly head the list, where they arc
brought into damaging comparison with
Mesrrs. Marcy and Guthrie, by far the ables
members of the retiring Cabinet. Mr.
Toucey is a man of fair medium ability
Judge Black, do. Messrs. Floyd and Thomp
son rather less, so far as has yet been de
veloped in the public service. Mr.. Brown
did not shine in Congress, but he made &
pretty good canvass for Governor of Tennes
see, beating Ephraim H. Foster in 1s45 by
l,470 majority, but run out in AZ by Nei
s. Brown, who had l,015 majority. Sine
then, he has remained in private life excep
when drawn out occasionally TO attend Dem
ocratic and Southern Conventions.-Ne0

THE INAUGURAL.

In speaking of Mr. Buchanan's Inaugural,
the Toledo Blade says: 1t will be OBJ
served that he admits the late election to
have been geographical contest, and, by
inference, that he was chosen by sectional
or geographical party. The idea of section
alism appears, too, to have been carried out
in the selection of his cabinet, as he has Civ
en- to the Slave States a majority of his le-
gal advisers. Some discrepancies have
crept into the Inaugural which do not look
we'll, however innocent they may be other
wise. In one place Mr.. Buchanan says:-
"This question of domestic slavery is of far
greater importance than any mere political
question:" anil in another place he says:-
"Most happy will it be for the country when
the public mind shall be diverted from this
question to others of more practical and
pressing Importance" In one place this
question is deemed of little practical import
ance, and in the other as overtopping all
others in Importance. The new President
takes ground in favor of the right of the peo-
pie, in territory, to govern themselves in
everything except their domestic Institutions,
which they have no power over till they
come 10 form State. Meantime, he says,
they will have right to cote, which must
be great privilege, considering that vote
amounts to nothing According to this the
ory, squatter government is narrowed dowr
to rather small apex, and is very much
like the play Of Hamlet with the part o
Hamlet omitted. On the question of tho
Pacific Railroad, the new President talks Al
if he meant to favor the project. But w
wait 10 see what he will do.

Tho decision of the Supreme Court in the
Dred Scott case is what was expected by
the people. 1t is but compliance to the
demands of Slavery, by the highest tribu-
of the land. The following are its princi-
pal points:
1. A negro, because of his color, is de-
MED the rights of citizen of the United
States-even the right to sue in our Courts
for the redress of the most fragrant wrongs.
2. A slave, being taken by his master in
to Free State and thence returning under
his masters sway, is not therefore entitled
to his freedom.
8. Congress has no righDM poDer to
prohibit Slapery an the Territories: hence
the Missouri Restriction was unconstitutional
Justice Nelson, we are happy 10 say, does
notfully concurin this abomniable Judgment
Justice Mclean of course dissents IN toto
so, we presume, does Justice Curtis in the
the main, despite his eminence in Union
saving. Justice Grier, we presume, went all
lengths with the five shareholders who COM
pose majority of the Court, leaving but
four-ninths to the immense preponderancc
of population in the Free States.
This decision, we need hardly say, is en-
titled to Just so much moral weight as would
be the judgment of majority of those
congregated in any Washington bar-room.
1t is a dictum prescribed by the stump tc
the bench-the Bowie-knife sticking in the
stump ready for instant use if needed. 1t
is of piece with the votes of Benton, Dix
and Bagby from the Annexation of Texas
with the boundary of tho Rio Grande.
This Judgment annihilates all Compro
misses and brings us face to face with the
great issue in tho right shape. Slavery i'm
plies slave laws-that is, laws sustaining and
enforcing the claim of one man to own and
sell another. In the absence of such laws
Slavery cannot exist; and Republican as.
cendancy in the nation, insuring Republican
rule over the Territories, will prove shield
against the enactment of any such laws
Under any other rule, all our Territories are
henceforth Slave Territories, on the way tc
be repened into Slave States
Let not Slavery exult over this as sec
ond and separate, triumph from the inau
guration and inaugural of Buchanan. They
arc parts of one whole, and as such will b,
regarded and met in the spirit of Freemen

Il might be right that on this occasion,
] should make some brief remarks as TO our
rights and duties as a member Of the great
Family Of Nations. In our intercourse
with them, there are some plain principles
approved by our own experience from which
we should never depart. We ought to cul-
tivate peace, commerce and friendship with
all nations, and this not merely as the best
means Of promoting our own national inter
est, but in spite Of Christian benevolence
toward fellow-men, wherever their lot may
be cast. Our diplomacy should be direct
and frank, neither seeking to obtain more
nor accepting less than is our due. We
ought to cherish sacred regard for the in
dependence of all nations, and never at
tempt to interfere in the domestic concerns
of any unless this shall be imperatively re-
quired by the great law of ofself-presewation.
To avoid entangling alliances has been
maxim of our policy ever since the days Of
Washington, and its wisdom no ono will at
tempt to dispute. In short, We ought to do
justice in kindly spirit to all nations, and
require justice from them in return. 1t is
our glory that while other nations have ex-
tended their dominions by the sword, we
have never acquired any territory except by
fair purchase, or, as in the case of Texas, by
the voluntary determination of brave kin
dred, and Independent people to blend their
destinies with our own. Even our acquisi-
ton from Mexico form no exception. I'm
willing to take advantage of the fortune of
war against a sister Republic, we purchased
these possessions under the treaty of peace
for sum which was considered at the time
fair equivalent Our past history forbids
that we shall in future acquire territory I'M
less this be sanctioned by the laws of JUS
tice and honor. Acting on this principle.
no nation will have a right to interfere or
to complain if in the progress Of events we
shall still further extend our possessions
Hitherto, in all our acquisitions, the people
under the protection Of the American flag
have enjoyed civil and religious liberty, as
we'll as equal and just laws, and have been
conteuted, prosperous and happy. Their
trade with the rest of the world has rapid
ly increased, and thus every commercial ma
ton has shared largely in their successful
progress. shall now proceed to take the
oath prescribed by the Constitution, while
humbly invoking the blessing of Divine
Providence on this great people.

1t headed by Cass as Secretary of State
--grandma Cass. This old lady is chiefly

interminable. He has less backbone than
sucking child. If southern Hotspur
does but frown, he collspses like an empty
bag Michigan has spewcd him out and the
Administration takes him in.
Then follows Cobb of Georgia, as Secre-
tary of tho Treasury man who has writ
ten book to prove that the Bible sanctions
American slavery. Ifhe has proved it. it is
so much tho worse for the Bible.
John B. Floyd, of Virginia, is Secretary
Of War. Of him we know little; but pre-.
sumo he is one of the F. F. VS.. Of that de-
generate State, and of course believes that
slavery, which has reduced Virginia to its
present begging condition, ought to be ex-

pleases to go, and there repeat the impover
ishment of the soil and of the people which
marks its course in all the old States where
it exists.

The Cincinnati Gazette, in notice Of
the miserable and political decision of the
Dred Scott case, by the Supreme Court Of
the Democrat Party of the United States,
remarks
Fortunately, VIC repeat again, the time
has come when this decision is of no practi-
cal importance. The Ordinance of 1887
has done its great and holy work. The
States of the Northwest arc beyond the
power of slavery and let no man imagine
for an instant that they will ever permit theiI
soil bo the trampling ground of slaves. A
hundred decisions cannot effect it, and those
who value that sort of property will be wise
to keep them away. The suicide of slav
cry has begun, and such events as those in
Kansas, as the Nebraska Act, as the Dred
Scott case, will rapidly accelerate what
might have required much longer 10 accom-
plish.

cnHAT CONaor,ATrON.

No man ever yet left the Presidential
Chair under such load Of approbrium as
the late President Pierce. He went into
Office with n solemn promise that the com
promise measures of so, which it was sup
posed constituted inality on the slavery
question, should not be disturbed during his
administration. But he was scarcely warm
in bis seat before he and Douglas, the trait
or, were bidding high for southern favor, by
proposing and urging forward the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise. This fatal step,
and the still more fatal ones to which it led,
have made his name by-word and re-
proach among all men who love freedom.
Such base grovelling and trucking to south
ern slave drivers was never before witnessed
in the Presidential Chair. The fact that
President Pierce is a prime favorite with the
ultra southern slavery extensionists writes
down his character more clearly than a sun
beam. He is the tool, the panderer the hum
BILE servant Of the slave power. He has
worked for the Devil and been cheated out
of his pay, He could not be renominated
and if he had, would have come out nowhere
in the race. But with all this, there is one
great consolation,-the Messenger approve:
and endorses himl The Messenger think:
his administration the most exalted in Amer
lean history! We think we can appreciate
the feeling of intense gratitude with which
Gen. Pierce will receive this need of praise
True every northern State but four spit or
his administration and despises the man
and even these would have spurned him hat
he been offered to them as candidate
true his own State has rejected him and his
measures again and again; but then tho
Messenger stands by him! This is wha
we call backing ones friends. So long ~
the Messenger does not desert the ex-Presi
dent, we consider him safe. So long as the
Messenger employs its lofty talents, its high
grammatical attainments, and its effulgen
rhetoric, in his praise, the ex-President.
| fame is secure.
