Know NOthingism Still in Existence.

Know Nothingism Still in Existence.
The Register speaks lightly of our intmation that
Know Nothngsm still exists in this State, but that
paper is careful to make direct denial
We all know that in 1854 when the Order was
in full operation in this State and when honest men
were being inveigled into it by hundreds, its very
existence was denied and persons who insisted that
it did exist were ridculed for their credulity and
greenness The fact of its existence was not known
to outsiders until Gov Wise obtained their ritual in
Virginia; and soon after some Know Nothing docu-
ments in this State mscarred, fell into the hands of
Democrats, and were laid before the public. How
many stories were told up to this period by Know
Nothings-how many of them denied the truth in
declaring that no such Order existed and that they
did not belong to any such Order we shall never
know. Indeed, their very obligations imposed upon
them the necessity Of denying they 'rere ,ohnt they
were Evasion, prevarication double-dealing, was
the order of the day. They asked the unsuspecting
to 20 and see "Sam," and yet, when pressed to
know whether "Sam " was myth reality, they
gravely declared that they knew nothing about it
OF course public and private morals suffered-the
seeds of discord and alienation were sown in thou
sands of neighborhoods- confidence between friends
was impaired, and good men of all parties were
forced to lower their estimate of human nature
Such was Know Nothingism, and such were some of
its fruits in 1854.
The whole concern at length became so odious
that it was apparently abandoned, and it began to
be common saying as to this or that Whig. that it
was creditable to him that he had not joined the
Order For our part, we had no confidence in the
honesty of the leaders, and never believed they
would "give it up So" We believed they would
modify their organization so as to confine it to a
select few, and that this select few would hold the
secret meetings and direct the machinery. This
belief seems to have been verified The "three
cornered paper" mentioned in our last, has signif
cance which is obviously too much for our neighbor
of the Register He ridcules what he cannot meet
He dances all round, as if he had a supply Of ho
peas in his shoes, but not for moment does he
come to the mark He is very funny, very agree
able very interesting, but he denies nothing. AL
this is significant.

The other side of the Picture.

Only a few days ago, Daniel E Sickles was
a hero = the avenger of outraged virtue. =
Nothing too good could be said for him--save
by few-while the wife was loaded with re
proach and abuse. We are glad at last to
see the tables turned, before the public, against
monster, whose disgusting course, sickened
every honest mind, and whose crime should
have been punished by the full extent of the
law, if law there be.
The Utica Herald reports that Mrs. Dan
iel e. Sickles had taken rooms for the season
at the Clifford Springs hotel. and that she will
resist any application of her husband for a
divorce, and will furnish proof of iu6deIity on
bis part which will prevent any decree in his
favor.

In st. Joseph, No. died Negro on the
2sth of March. named jeffrey Deroin, in the
5oth year of his age. His career is adapted
most brilliantly to refute those assertions ut
tered by Southern Barons and their compeers,
that there is an impossibility of using the
black domestic cattle for any other object than
the usual services of slaves, if indeed there is
yet need of any such argument
jeffrey was born in st Louis in the wear
1901, and was slave of Mr.. Robidour, the
founder of St Joseph. He spent nearly all
his earlier years with his master. Rohidour,
among the Redskins who carried on an ex
tensive trade with the Indians of the Plains
He mastered the languages of several different
tribes, and soon qualified himself as skifnl
interpreter. and developed besides so much
commercial talent, that. in 1885. he, from his
gains realized, was enabled to purchase his
own freedom After this, during long years,
he was employed by Government as inter
preter-(a black house animal, chatteL, as
Employed
In the year 1874 he accompanied, with Col.
Melody. several chiefs of the Sacs and Foxes
and Iowa Indians to Europe He translated
the speeches of the Indian Chiefs with an accu.
racy and quickness that excited general re.
spect. DIsraeli and other literary celebrities
of England conversed often and much with
this intelligent Negrs. Laden with presents
jeffrey returned to America, and resumed
again his former place as Government inter.
prefer.
In the expeditions of the o. 8 officers over
the Plains, and in the Rocky Mountains he
rendered regularly, as guide and interpreter
very important services. Throughout the
whole wide West on this side of the Rocky
Mountains he was acquainted with most o.
the Indian tribes, and spoke English and
French even as huently and readily as he die
the ttoelue Indian dialects. He had an exte
rior that denoted intelligence; his color wa.
that of bright mulatto, and he was every
where regarded as trustworthy man. He
left behind a wife and children, and wealth
of several thousand dollars His wife hac
likewise been a slave, and jeffrey had bough
her. long time since, from her master. DR.
