The Pioneer manifests the same hostility
to BANKS that characterizes Massachusetts
Democrats. 1t asserts that the regular
Knownothing candidate is Banks. This is
false. Not man who is in good and regu-
lar standing in the Know Nothing National
party supports the Republican Candidate
The regular State X. n. organization is anti
Banks. HENRY j. GARDNER, the candidate
of the Know Nothings for reelection, stated
in public speech a few days since that
"Hon. N. p. BANKS had not counselled with
him (Gardner) or the President of the State
Council, or any leading American Know
Nothing) for three gears past on political ques-
tions" And the President of the State
Council being on the platform, when appeal
ed to confirmed the statement of the Gov
ernor.
Is the Pioneer better authority than GARD
NER and CoBB, who know all the points? If
that paper will step across the line into New
Hampshire, while digging up Massachusetts,
history, and go back to March 1855, it will
find the whole Democratic vote to have been
cast for one of Ms earliest members of the earli-
est Council established in that State. But
that doesn't convict the whole Democratic
party Of Know Nothingism but, as we have
before said, "those who live in glass houses
shouldn't throw stones
Mr.. BANKS was and is in favor of union
of men of all parties on the single issue of
the restriction of slavery. To prevent that
union was and is the object of the Slave Pow
er and their tools. To dissolve that union
Sham Democrats and genuine Know Moth
ings unite their willing efforts.
. The Pioneer also asserts that in BANKS late
speech he spoke in favor of t,oenty-one gears
residence Of foreigners, as condition of citi-
zenship. This little inaccuracy results unin-
tentionally of course, from not having read
the speech. No truth-teller can say so after
reading it. There is no such sentiment in it,
With the printed speech before us we pro-
nounce the utterer of such a statement as that
of the Pioneer, the inventor of falsehood.

Surplus Revenue.

The surplus gold in the United States
Treasury is melting away. A short time ago
there were twenty-five millions on hand
Last week there were but seventeen millions,
and the reduction is going on at the rate OF
a quarter ola million per week. We doubt
whether there will be dollar of surplus
gold in the Sub Treasury on the lst of March,
next. Importations are falling off, and du-
ties also, while the expense of the Govern
ment remain as large as before.

In the County Court, at Berlin, Waterloo
county, Canada, Mr. Jacob Hespelers Of Pres
ton, was complained of for setting his hands
at work in hay field on Sunday, Goth July.
He was convicted and fined $40, out appeal
ed. In the high Court the appeal came up
the other day, and the defence set up was
that it had been raining every day for week
previous; that Sunday was fine day, and
the hay would have rotted ifit had not been
taken in on that day. The jury; however,
returned verdict of guilty, and confirmed
the fine of $40. The defendant appealed
again to the Court of Queens Bench.
