Mr.. Anderson on Know Nothingism

TO tie Editor Of the Ptlot:
Will you please publish the following
extract from an address of Mr.. ANDERsoN,
delivered at Port Washington, Wis, a
few wears since, at a time when a very
obnoxious Know Nothing was running 70:
Office in that County. Mr.. ANDERSON
said;
"Another reason which induces me to
oppose the wickedness of Knownothing-
ism, is lis tendency to prevent the settling
Of our country with that industrious and
hard working class of foreigners, who are
the bone and sinew Of our nation. The
German, the Irishman, and the Norwegian
have been alike patriotic in raising with
US the glorious and radiant tree of liber.
", under whose secure canopy the down
trodden and oppressed foreigner might be
permitted to repose in peace and security,
Our Irish, German, and English fathers
crimsoned the soil on which we tread with
their hearts blood, to secure it as home
for US and their beloved children.
And shall we now rise up agains. them
and protest against these well earned
rights, not only Of the children, but also
the rights of the ,lumbering dead and
simply because they CHANGED to be born
in foreign nation,
No, sir, IProtest against this treatment
Our laws are already sufficiently proscrip'
tive. Let US, therefore, promote no mar
who urges prescription"

The SUPPLY OF GOLD AT Pixies PEAK.
The last number of the Rocky Noun
tain Ners, states that the Alexander
claim on the Gunnell lead, near Central
City, has yielded in the past year over
$40, 900, and it is the opinion of the par
ties who worked it that not over half the
gold was saved. Allowing, however, that
one half was saved land good authorities
state that the amount did not exceed
twenty five per cent it would seem that
claim Of one hundred feet in length, on
tie lead, contained in one hundred feet
depth to which it has worked $50, 1000
This shows that the estimate made in
1859 that some leads would yield a thou
sand dollars-and which estimate was then
considered extravagant-is far below the
mark. We are assured bv all who write
from the mines, and by the papers there
published, that the leads increase in rich>
ness as they descend.
