A PREDICTION VERIFIED

we predicted, not many months ago that
the time was not far distant when the danger.
Gus and proscrptiyc principles Of know moth.
inglsm would become so odous to the great
mass OF the American people that some of its
most prominent advocates would be among the
first to deny that they had ever been connect.
ed with the order 1t will be seen from the
following extract from the Nashville Union
that this prediction has been verified in Ten.
nesscc, as well as in every other state of the
Union.
Several OF the know nothing candidates in
different portions of the State are DENYING that
they are connected with the order. MAYNARD,
their candidate for Congress In the Knoxville
District, insists that he never was in council
nor took one OF their oaths. Ethcrcdgc, we
understand, is making the same defence before
the people. Stephens, their candidate in the
Memphis district, admits that he joined the
order, but claims the merit of having with
drawn from it, and is, therefore, in no way
bound by its oaths. Franck w. Lea, the
know nothing candidate for the legislature in
Badly county, is out in card, in which he
says:
During the time of the last Methodist
conference in our county town, was informed
q political meeting was to be held over Craig
mircs store. | attended. On my arrival /
was Informed that an oath had to be taken

go back, and say, am not and never have

always have been, to all secret political organ
izations.'
" Thus it is; the thing is growing odious,
and in u few years no man will venture to run
Tor once who can not show by incontestible
PROOF, that il ever member he repudiated
the order before it entirely lost its Identity
But how much OF these denials now being made

that according to one of their oaths, they are
sworn to deny it,

OF the letter of Col. Short:
we publish extracts from The bold manly. and
truly Democratic address of Col. Short TO the Demo
Gratis OF the Third Congressional District on the suh
Ject OF the nomination of Mr.. Thomas Green David
s ,W' ~ inc Democratic candidate in that District
We say, that The address is truly Democratic in ;ts
tone, because, in our opinion there Is not greater
error lhnn to suppose that true Democracy consists
IN asprltess submission to what is wrong Under the
msy preteNt OF avoiding defeat and of securing the
.,on'poraFy success OF the party We do not believe
in submission, except when 1t is submission to What 10
tlgnI ana Just. Wearo not afraid of defeat with
ae democratic party adeleat can not but be tempo
