While calling attention to these
points, we are perfectly Indifferent
as to the fact whether Mr.. Wilson
was or was not a member OF the
Know othing party; We have
only to DO with the principles and
views he represents and maintains.
The fact is, Know Nothingism was
mistake, has been proved and is
acknowledged such on all hands.
1t was desinged as a remedy for
existing eyils-real tangible evils y;
but the remedy proved worse than
the disease, end was therefore
wisely abandoned. In q country
like ours, it will never answer to
condemn a large portion of the
people to the condition OF political
pariahs, no matter on what grounds
distinction is sought to be made
whether it be On account of ma
tionality, race, color, OF religion.
The more perfect the equality oil
all citizens before the laws the
better for all concerned. And one
of the compromising fruits of the
ow-Nothing movement was te
bring this out forcibly and clear
~, To assert however, that the
wrong was all on one side-ol
that Of native citizens-and tha
there was no provocation given
| nothing to give color o. reason
