THE LAST SAD RITES OF KNOW NOTHINGIsM
IN VIRGINIA

IN a.
The recent election was q complete extinguisher
f Know Nothingism in Virginia. Some Of our De-
nocratc contemporaries of the press have perpetrat
ID the following after the style of the burial Of Sir
ohm Moore, descriptive of the final taking off Of
Sam" The same dirge will soon be repeated in
Tennessee
Not a word was heard as we counted the vote,
Which SAN TO his destiny hurried;
But the Clerk of the Polls certificate wrote,
Which told us he was to be buried.
We buried him jus. about eight at night,
The earth with our brogans turning;
BY Know Nothing's dubious light,
And the Sheriff s nose dimly burning.
No useless coffin enclosed his breast,
We buried him Just as we found him,
And he looked like Know Nothing taking his rest,
With his HEART broken friends around him.
But few and fierce ", e the oaths they said,
They swore more il anger than sorrow;
But thought as they gazed on the face of the dead
Of the bricks in their hats on the morrow.
The victors may scoff at the spirit that's gone,
At the oaths grips and signs that betrayed him;
But little he'll reck if they'll let him sleep on,
In the grave where the Democrats laid him.
But half the count of the polls was done,
When the friends of the dead we're retiringi
For they knew that the enemy had big gun,
And in triumph they would soon be firing.
Slowly and sadly we buried him there,
This notice his grave revealing;
Here SAMUEL died, Of too great share
OF Intensely American feeling"

THE CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR.


HICKORY HILL, June %, 1857.

dressed the people of Jefferson county this day at
cambridge Gen. Harris led off in speech of an
hour and half This made the Democracy feel
good" like they used to when James 4. Polk talk

no mistake about it this time. Harris literally took
the hide, hair and fur of of the celebrated Plug
Ugly candidate and if he can stand this Aayng alive

served and exhibited an example to "penny
whistle politicians of vaulting ambition nippsd in
the bud. We will make a gain in this county Of
from 200 to 800 votes Put that down in your note
book. If Harris does as well at his other appoint
ments as he did here he will be elected by 10000
majority.
Watkins will undoubtedly be elected TO Congress
over the Rev Free Soler, his competitor, and We
intend to send three or four Democrats to the
Legislature than East Tennessee has been in the
habtof sending We are all alive to the Importance
of the contest, and intend to work from now until
the election with vigilance and energy that knows
no cessation. The distribution humbug does not
cause that great excitement that the "Ugiies
hoped and believed it would. The people know that
it is the last Know Nothing trump, and is neither

BdT The Patriot admits that Mr.. Hatton, while a
member of the Legislature, voted for resolution
which denounced portion of the Kansas-Nebraska
act as odious and unjust" ga detestable heresy,
and species of radcalsm, not only inimcal to the
institutions of the South but at war with the spirit
of the government itself" That he voted for re-
solution, also, which denounced another feature of
that act as sunwise as matter of policy and in vic
lation of the Constitution of the United States"
Yet the Patriot thinks we did Mr.. Hatton injustice
in not informing readers that in another resOu-
luton for which he voted he agreed to "acquiesce
in and abide by" this law. In other words, that
Mr.. Hatton agreed that, Notwithstanding the act
contained provisions that were "odiOus and unjust
embracing species of radicalism, inimical to our
institutions, violstive of the Constitution, and at
war with the government, yet he would not nulify,
but would accuiesce in and abide by" this odious
legislation We can't think that the Patriot i'm
proves the me- tier much.

the Independent candidate for Wharf-MaSter, was
elected by the "beggarly majority of thirty-fOur
votes" Has the Ne,cs reflected that the Know-No-

than beggarly majority of sir pOtesP Again, has it
reflected that the majority of the KnOw-nothing can

Their, has it reflected that two of the Kuow-nothng
Editors Of the Negs, who were both candidates f
Aldermen in their respective Wards, did not "ge.

M The Nashville Patriot il defending its party
friends for having voted for the Assessor Law, says
The credit Of the State demanded change from the
old system and it was found that nothing could pass
that would meet the crisis except this law, and for
this reason it was enacted"
We thank the Patriot for its candid admission.
Will our neighbor 90 a little further and tell the
people what was the matter with the credit of the
State what that crisis was that had to be met,
and who contributed more to produce it than its
present candidate for Governor. TIE Patriot means,
we suppose that owing to the extravagant expeIdi-
ture of money from the treasury, both at the pre-
ceding and the session then closing, the revenue
was not sufficient by two hundred thousand dollars
to meet the necessary expenses of government
that the State had also, several hundred thousand
dollars of outstanding bonds to meet-that, from
the recklessness manifested in railroad legislation,
the stocks of our State had deprecated and bonds
gone down to a ruinous figure in the market All
Of which resulted from that wild, hazardous and
extravagant policy of legislation to which Mr. Hat
ton contributed as much or more than any other
man. A norton of the Democrats who voted with
MIR. Hatton for the Assessor Law may have con-
ourred with him in the belief that there was
serisis in the credit of the State which required
some law of this Sort but such an admission only
increases the responsibility of Mr. Hatton for hav-
ing favored an extravagant system of legislation
which created such a necessity. TIE people cannot
fail TO see it.
