e. vtor d.tv the bill will pass the house of Kepresciitu

our party, that they forthwith pas* a bill requiring
the Commissioner- of each County to have erected,
.and jvrt-rcc at ail the cross-roads, a trough with hoi;'a
diifeu or more mugs chain, d fast ; ami 1 those troughs
well a rf cos rant I y snpjdied with rum and lager, that
tbe thirsty whiskey diinking diuiVieriits may have
their tit-i. .The county need not be at tin' expense or

''irig for this example, but thi- far in Vain. Will you
do me the favor to ask the Democratic members for
one example. 1 ask it Iron- lire Daw on: AT re mem
bers ot the legislature because it is evident to all
wlib will see. that they arc the friends of turn, and
that rum is 'tjkrir friend. Surely they can say some
thing good of their old fri.'tul. 1 presume Huglry
will have high Mats performed t'or all the precious

IS THE KVOW-XOTHHG PARTY \.\
AMERICAN' PARTY!
We answer, confidently am! emphatically. ,A" <
tie say that, in all its features and all its purposes,
' it is the very opposite of what it claims to be. Let
- us see if we speak more or less than the simple
. truth.
. 1 In the first place, look at its eeerrey. Is there nnv
• thmg American in that.' Is it American to belong
■ to u society lite very name and the very existence
• j of which you are bound by an oath to keep a pro
, t found secret ? Is it American to nominate men for
i high office-, and keep their nomination a secret until
! it is revealed through the ballot-box' Is it Amen- ,
1 j can to shrink from an open discussion ol" the chums
I | and qualifications of candidate* lor high offices .' Is
it American to sneak in the Council chamber for the '
transaction of political business through trap-doors
-and back-entries, with one eye over ytuu shoulder, j
" like a dog with a stolen breakfast, to guard against j
- detection t Can there be anything peculiarly Amer
t • icuu in ail association whose utaiii' features are re- 1
ipmbl'ed by nothing that h;l- existed in A 1
1 fforri" tie landing of the Pilgrims down to the day j
1 ! toat We numbered twenty-five niiiiitens of souls ? I-
any lii.ng very American in a society of Jesuits /
p 1- tiiere anyttiing American in a star-cbambefcourt?
: is there anything American in an Italian or Spanish
. inqni-ition? if not, ttieri is there nothing American
; ill know-nottlingisra, ihus tar considered.
j i Look at its atifits. From the uiomen r of t-ii ng
. j them the victim ceases to Lie a freeman. He i.
; -worn to look upon his hfoi'tier who was born upon
another soil, or whose religions faith differs from
; hi- own, a- nu oittca t. !!•> becomes a bigot—bitter,
i inlol!ft, riTt!er)t;ug. II - is-worn also to vote j

. they may. .No matter if the gr.-ate-t knave, the

that ever walked The earth, is piaced m nomination,

. i,p Sl-. It v.old make chatrie- or mere machines oi
it Ous.-ind- ~f white laborers, ar.d open th door to
-T'.t greater encroachments upon the poor man's
rights. Is there anything American in this I
r Look again. It would erect rom-./ittuities of fer
ei.hi is upon our own soil, by drivng every man o:
; foreign birth beyond the boundaries of American so
ciety, whether social or political. It would teach
- a large class oi men, w,Th families growing r.p a
: ' room! them in onr very midst, to bote, with u bitter
i • and everlasting hatred, the in-titutlOfis ol our coun
try, and !if iiren who sustaia them. It would shut 1
: out the children of foreign-born parents from all !
Amervanizing influences, and leave them to grow up
• amongst o with Those prejudices Common to the
land of the r lathers. Is this a:i object worthy of
Americans I
Lpok uncc more. It would offer a premium for
' religious hypucrVy, by excluding from office arid from
s 1 'he ballot-box every man who open I v embraces the
_ 1 Catholic faith. Thp American doctrine has been,
1 that every person should be allowed to worship God
according to the- dictates of ids conscience. It would
i trample this doctrine in the dustj by providing pen
- id ties, in the form of prescriptive di.-abilaties, for
j all who worship God in any other than tire I'iotestant
! form.
s ! But enough. There can b but one answer to the
- ; question we have asked. Tins know-nothing party
. | is aiiti-American in its organization and internal fea
tures —anti-American in its purposes—anti-Ameri
can ir, its sov! and iu its substance. With its mask
~ off, it i- a bald traitor—a heartless, reckless eiterny
fi ol American, institutions. Let tine Americans fL**-
s | from ,t as ;hey would flee from the pestilence that
_ j waste!h at noonday—avoid it as they would the poi
sonous v : per—and crush it as true patriotism Would
fcj crush undisguised treason.

A CAPITAL HIT!
The man who. ill a land and an age ti/.e tins, is
honestly declaiming against the Temporal influence
of the poor Pope ; and earnestly warning his country
men ogitin.-r the political arts of the poor Catholics;
ought to have lived at least in the last century, and
followed the Spanish Cavalier in his crusade against
wiinu-mills. Nor have we any more to feat — Front
Fie influx of fotfign elements into our body pohtir, in
the rhrtforlnr and habits of the mingled races of the, old
tmrhl. Though foreign emigration were increased a
hundred fold, it would no more alarm thoughttu! j
man, for the safetv of our free institutions, than do ;
! the thousand rivers, that pour their varied elements
' into the sea, alarm a philosopher for the jmritv otthe '
mighty and ocean. The nation is al- ■
! reatlv, in all its grand elements of character, perma- j
nentlv Anglo-American; and a wise man would just ;
as sincerely fear to dine on a salmon, lest he, bim- 1
self, short Id become a great fish ; or to break his fast j
i on u bird, lest he should sprout with leathers and ;
wings, as to have a tear lest this American nation- )
: ality be essentially or injuriously modi fled by any i
: foreign elements that may flow into it.— Rev. Charles

Important Decision.
A case has just been decided by our new Su- j
potior Couitui considerable interest to mer
chants. It was that of Meyer KStuckvn ol .New
! York vs. John Tyler, auctioneer, of Boston.—
i Win. Whiting and Edward (J. Parker lor the i
| piai otitis; R. Choate, Win. Dehon, and S.J.
Thorn as lor the defendant, ll grew out of the
j Peverelly arson case in New York. Jt seems
, that Pcvere!ly received goods on storage as his
. J n ° r
\ general business. Sundry hogsheads ol sugar
j were thus received from the plaintiffs. The
marks on them he erased, and then shipped
them to Tyler, to be sold in the name of one R.
Say re. On this consignment, T\ K-r, the auc
tioneer, advanced, as is usual, about one third
the value to the conciguor. The plaintiffs, at- j
j ter the discovery ol Pevereilv's attempted burn
ping'of his store by the New York police, search
j ed for their merchandise, and found it in Tyler's
warehouse in Boston—he refusing it up,
save on payment of his entir# advances and j
payments tvaJe in uerl'ect good faith. Upon t
[argument, the Oriel Justice of the Superior;
j Court reserved the case fur the consideration of
i the Associate Judges of that Court, and they j
. ' • . .V. . " '
I to-day entered judgment fur the plaintiffs for :
the fol! amount claimed, with, costs, the defen
dant tints losing his entire advances. It is un
' derstood (lie judgment went upon the ground ,
j that Pyvereily, by erasing the marks, termina- ,
led his '•lawful possession," so as to be unable .
i thereafter to give a second consignee a lien for
any advances.

there is an impression in the interior of the
State, tliat this well regulated establishment w as

i was trifling. The fire occurred in one of the
rooms in the rear of the hotel, used by some of

1 arterized the St. Lawrence, is still its chief f. a
