BEg- Know NOthingism, after having distinctly
announced since its first organization, that the old
Wing party had died, and died of its corruptiOns,
and that uponits ruins new party had been cOnsruc-
ted freed from the impurities of the old one-ater
having scofFed and rdiculed the idea that there
any other alternative than. for all those who had
hitherto opposed Democracy, to join the new order
in opposition to it st-fndng all its efforts fruitess
to get into power, has turned squarely round and
with an effrOntery that knows no parallel, is now
swearing that the Wing party is not dead, and never
Oas dead, bat is standing cheek by jOwl, a twin
brother to their secret order cordial and united in
all things making common cause against the Demo
cratic party We shall not argue the question with
our neighbors. If they desire to advance such alb
surdites to be laughed at by all intelligent people,
they may 60 on with the sport The object they
have in view is too apparent to deceive They must
have recruits and that in large numbers or they are
etsrnally crushed out Nobody is going to join the
Raolg Nothing party That is well understood. They
may muster all their blue books, reft all their Sc
cret lodges, re-orgsnze all their Councils and send
out their missionaries through the country to
men into the Order and the effort would be aposi-
would take his neighbor around the corner, these
days and ask him if he did not irish to Sam, would
be laughed out Of the country. The man that would
approach another now to talk about the threatening
danger to our civil liberties from the Pope of Rome
would be set down as a fool by his listeners. The
fellow that would take another into a secret place.
and ask him to be sOor upon the bible and cross to
vote for none but third degree members of 81 the
order for any political Office, and that if he viola
ted it he should be expelled and published per-
ured traitor through all their councils in the country
would be very apt to find himself insulted, if not
more rudely dealt with.
Know Nothingism is, therefore, hopelessly dead,
unless it can conjure up deception for the
people. If there are any, now acting with the Dem
oeratic party, who want to sell themselves cheap,
here is chance. Who answers to the call? Don't
all speak at once. Those Of the present Democratic
party that were Wings during the lifetime of Wing
gerry, are "mOst earnestly solicited. " They can
have at least one half of all the h0aors that Know
Nothingsm has to distribute.
The more eectually to carry out their plans, they
have gotten up carricature of the old Wbig party,
and are psradng it the country the shoulders
fNIr Bell, with distribution inscribed in garing
letters upon its front To convince the world that
it is reality, and not cheat that gentleman has
consented to 60 round with it and make speeches to
the people of Tennessee.
Such is the fraud and humbug that is sought to be
practised. It viii not succeed. Men cannot escape
from the consequences Of their folly by assuming
false names. There are but two parties in Tennes-
see, and those who act with the Know Nothings are
Know Nothngs and it is needless to seek an evasion
BLOODY REvoLUTION.-A South African journal,
in speaking of recent revolution among the Zulas
says that the most careful calculations formed by
persons intimately acquainted with Zulu country,
and with current events represent the total loss of
human lives at not less than one hundred thousand
including Of course the women and children, who
form a large proportion of the whole. And this
fact-the massacre Of helpless, unoffending women
and children-shows in frightfu eolors the demoni-
