Inc Louisville Journal says: On the 7th of April
1855, when the Know Nothing party was strong and
vigorous IN Kentucky and Throughout. the Union Hr
Brecsinridge. then as now an avowed Democrat. made
a political speech at Cynshiana. in Harrison county.
tie deemed it important at that time to make the
impression, that although not a. Know Nothing. he
sympathizea with the Know Nothings to no rnconsi.
derable extent. His speech was reported and pub
iished in the Washington Union, the Richmond En-
qu'rer, and other organs Of his party. And here is
what he was stated in these friendly organs to b,ve
said:
1T was natural for a man to prefer those os his
own religious faith in voting, and he himself uould
.ott er one Of his o,cn ,oaygf hin&tng in re.iyion rather
MonJor another, all other things being equal, Just as
:. y" ,oet 10. q ndttrs IN preference to q tnreiy IN born
citizen, other things beng equal
There can be no question, adds the Journal. as 70
the correctness of this report Of what Mr.. Breck1n.
ridge sad, for, as we have already remarked it was
made in the organs politically friendly to him, and,
furthermore, he did not gainsay ITS correctness. nor
did any friend of his gainsay it for him. The fact
therefore, stands that Nj. Breckenridge publicly pro.
that, otner things being equal, he would vote
for a man OF his own religious persuasion. sooner
than for one ofany other persuation, and for a ma.
tive citizen sooner than for a natnraiized citizen. If
this was different from regular Know Nothingism the
was only in degree. The principle WAS the
same Mr.. Breckenridge distinctly recognized Il can
didate's religion and place of birth as legitimate and
proper matters to be considered by voters at the POLLS.
he announced them as matters that would influence
himself, and, in a designated state of case. determine
lis vote.

system by this alarming symptom. Not unfre
qucntly the diseases named originate in Constipa-
