-Four years ago secret political organization
sprung up suddenly in our midst, AMI was for
time, as il were, sweeping all before il. 1t was
not long until it was discovered that the thing
had no vitality or substance in il, and that il,
existence would be Of short duration. The
thing was so rotten and corrupt in its ma, urer
that it hal not more than started until nearly
every broken down abolitioniSt aud offi.c seek
er in the country were active votarieS Of "Sam
Even our nei5hbor Of the Rrpg6lican became a
member OF it. and was in company with that
distinguished horator the present Sheriifof IIar,
rison county, delegate to a celebrated conven
ton which was once upon time held in Flush
ing, But these abohtionists like their progen.
itors, the British, coull not carry their point
in SANS lodges, and they were not long un-
til they laid Sam out on his back, after carry
ing off the principal part of all the spols of Of

Know Nothing editors were telling that which
they themselves did not believe Now we have
case right in point. Four years ag, through
the agency of Sam" one James F. Charles
worth, or as he is famiarly called Captain
Charlesworth, and We believe an Englishman
by BIRTH was elected Auditor of our neighbor-
ing county Of Belmont. Two years satisfied the
people Of that county that the Captain was not
what he was cracked up to be-" and they let
him quietly retire from the cares of Office -
While the Captain was luxuriating on the spoils
of his off &c, a Know Nothing organ in that
county, called the "Independcnt RepqJIcan,
was suffering for thlt which is necessary to keep
every printing office going money. The thing
was about to give up the ghost, and it was
that something should be done to still
keep deluling honest and unsuSpecting men,
The Captain had made good thing out Of his
office, better than common AMI it was decided
that he must become the purchaser, "and keep
the. mill going" The Captain stepped into
the editorial chair, and made all manner ofloud
huzzas that ''hamericans should rule hamerica," :"
md all that kind Of cIap-trap which was pecu-
liar to "Sam" But the humbug didn't take
the Captains declaration that
the Americans were great party, and had
the powe- 70 do wonders. The Captain has
been in the editorial chair some eighteen
MONTHS and during all that time he has told his
readers that his party, ''the great American
party, coall and would b, successful But the
spois of Office have about run out, AMI this va
liant Captain comes out in his last paper, and
tells his readers virtually that he has been
lying and humbugging them all the time. He
says-"ior the last year we have been satisfied
that neither the American or Republican par
ties could be successful" And goes on in the
same article and urges the followers of National
Sam to disband and unite with disunion
'Sambo." The honest voters that i've belong
ed to "Sam's' party in Belmont and every
where else will see through the treachery o
their leaders, ana will not again be caught with
another humbug. How true it is that this hum
bug of "Sam," and all other political humbuss
