What Has Know-Nothingism Done 1
True to its instincts as an expediency party.
Know-Nothin,sism has been all things to all
men: Anti;eutholic in one place, pro. Catholic
in another-Land-slavery in the North, pro-sla
very in the South. At all times and in all
places it has eagerly pandered to the surround
ing prejudice with an utter disregard of con
sisteney. or principle. ' Resorting for conceal
ment In a system of oath-taking -which at once
enjoins - suppreasiu cal as a duty, and sets a
premium upon prevarication, it has weakened
all political faith among men, rendering each
one suspicious and mistrustful of his neighbor.
Distrusting the honesty and fearing to risk its
Cause to the intelligent judgment of the pe.rple,
it has instituted - a political judiciary—a privi
leged oligarchy, whose decisions. on . political
matters the meta berm are sworn to obey. Thus
it has destroyed freedom of opinion and speech.
But its political sins, enormous and disgrace
ful as they are, sink into insignificance when
compared with the moral. and social curses
which this anomalous order has brought upon
i ' the country. it has brought contamination to
i courts—degradeil legislatures into inquisitorial
committees—destroyed the purity of the bal

"This I neither desired nor expected. The

exercise a sound discretion in the arrangement

The House Printing is still undecided. The
vote fur Mr. Fad., of Ohio, the anti-adminis
tration caucus candidate, is falling off. Mr.
Wendell's (democrat) has crept up a little, but
will have to creep a good deal higher. before
he can get in. - Mr: Follet's friends are out of
humor and talk of repealing the elections that
have taken place of House officers. This is a
brilliant idea—too brilliant to be reduced to
practice, I think. As Mr. Follet's friends are
not strong enough to elect their favorite, it is
not easy to understand.how they could repeal
the elections that have taken place. They had
better "come to terms" with the aspirants . who
stand in, their way, and who can be bought otr
with a reasonable share of the profits !
The "Union" of this morning contains a
proclamation by the President, commanding
all persons engaged in unlawful combinations
against the constituted authority of. tire Terri
tory of Kansas or Of the United States to dis
perse and retire_ to their homes,' and Warning
all such persons that any attempted insurrec
tion in said Territory or aggressive intrusion
into the same, will be resisted not only by the
employment of the local militia, but also by
that of the forces of the United States. Ti is
to be hoped that this proclamation will have
the effect to prevent further disorders in Kan
sas, and that' the necessity of drawing the
sword against any portion of our own people
will not be forced- upon the general govern
ment.

man Catholic for office ?` "fete is a Cardinal
who sternly resisted both regal and ecclesias
tical power in ,theThansoLof English liberty,
aided, too, by Catholic barons. Does it not
furnish the most conclusive proof of the utter
falsehood of the charge that Catholics hold a
paramount allegiance to the- Pope in civil mat

against both the King and the Pope combined.

the treatment of jaundice. If the digestion of
the albumen of eggs tend to reuse the 'action
of the liver, it will necessarily restore the se
