man of twenty, he addressed the ladies- thus :
"Ladies, you are very handsome, you dance
very pretty . ; your ball is very fine—but no
soldiers have no shirts.". This :appeal was ir
resistible. That ball ceased ; the ladies went
home and went to work, and the next day a
large nutnlyer of shirts were prepared by the
fairest hands of Baltimore, fur the gallant de
fenders of their country.
That young Frenchman, and the Majority of
his shirtless soldiers, who fought bravely—not
far gieir own liberty, or the freedom of their
native land, but—for the liberty which_Amer
.iCans -now enjoy, were ro-cigo•rs. But, in
spite of all their self-sacrificing devotion to our
cause. .could these gallant foreigners revisit
the scenes of their revolutionary struggles; in
stead - of being welcomed by the hearty plaudits
of a grateful people. the bigoted spirit of Know
Nothingism would compel Americans to turn
their backs upon their early benefactors, and
tell them that they were not tit to enjoy the.
rights which they aided to achieve, and.not to
be trusted with even the meanest office in the
gift of the Government they fought and died to

of suppressing the street preachers and "street
preaching."—both a nuisance, we are, told,
that cannot he abated too soon. The editor
goes on to say :
"Last winter when Mr. Parsons was arrest
eil haranguing, a crowd on the Sabbath,
sonic good men and sonic religious newspapers
imagined that our religious liberties and the
right of_speech were compromised by that act. -
In condemning the blunder of the policeman
who- made the arrest, we at the same time
showed the fallacy of all such apprehensions:
that freedom of speech and fieedorn of w or ship
.4 . 10 not require that the highways should be
blocked up by crowds of lotkfers listening to
some illiterate ranter against the Pope and
Irishmen : and that no item of our American
artd Christian liberties would be compromised
by a police regulation requiring all public dis
cussions to be held within doors. We p?edict
ed that this out-door preaching, which is at
Variance equally with the climate of our coun
try and the_habits of our' people, while sob-
TIO rights, and diffusing no bentifit•
of religion, would promote Sabbath-breaking
amid the disturbance of the public peace, and
w;publ become a reproach to religion.
'•11 any one tvould lest the truth of these
predictions, let him take up his abode Dear
IVashington Square, or any other pink, and
I on the Sabbath find the quiet and family-in

joy the Jun, and overhear appeals to mob vitt.
lence against the lirreign population, in the'
name of a crusade against the Pope : let him
see young men and boys, mingled with bullies
and rowdies, smoking. swearing, laughing, :
gouging,. shouting,: and litizzainig, all in the
name of America and Religion : and - he will feel
heat in no way is the Sabbath more thin °ugh
ly desecrated than in connection wn.li street
preaching. Allgood
citizens, and espeially
all who love and respect the Sabbath, should
unite against this crying evil.
"his feared that to suppress street preaching
would concede a triumph to the Catholics
Then let=that illusion be dissipated, if need he,
by one grand experiment. let all the rattle
brained denouncers of Popery be privileged to
appear 14r one or two Sabbaths longer ; let the
Catholic, have an equal chance, and if need
be, let all the militia of the State be on hand
to protect the sacred right of speech
-Plainly, the only thineto be done is to
suppress a system of puolic Sahhath-day

that lcgislettion respecting matters of religions

The Democratic Party.
The Democratic party has something to do
for the Coining election ; wire, perhaps, than
ever before. Ilad we only the old and well
known Whig, party, we would .have readily
-ascertained- w-hat,_-_and—liow—much -we had -to
&newt against.,But unlbrtuuately, not par
ticolarlyfor the- linnocratic party, but for in
dk;idnals-, we are forced to make war against,
not only the Whig, party proper, but against a
secret political Know Ninhing society, the mem
bers of whiCh carry their certilleateB of mem
bership in their pocket-books."
We have, in-the first place, to write in
characters, the principlei of the Democratic
party—chaructcrs so pli in, tl iat'i hose. who ''run
may read"—principles, the duties of whichare
political and religious freedom. With such a
basis, it "is very easy to ascertain the style of
the column to be" thereon raised. it is Demo
cracy ; and such Democracy as our fathers
fought - for and the present Democratic party
sustain. Such principles as GRoata: WAsurNo-

Already Tired of It ! •
The great city of Philadelphia is now com
pletely under the control of Know •Nothingistn
—its policy is the policy of the Know Nothings -
--and its credit and fame is in the keeping - of
that— proscriptive order. Its policemen—its*"
school teachersits street viewers—and all its
executive and subordinate officers are of that
stripe. Philadelphia is, a miniature -common
wealth, and if 14 wish to ascertain how Penn
sylvania wenld-tiOurish under their rule, we
have only to look how the great consolidated
city flourishes now ! The people of that city
have already seen the evil effects of choosing
officers to posts - ofresponsibility and trust upon,
qualifications, which have nothing to !do with
&strict discharge of their duty. In their zeal
to secure the services of "native' born and
protestantlitizens," they failed to remember
that men using up to that standard are'not
necessarily honest,-and that an officer might
possess both these "requisites," and be still
igorant of the du tiesOf his-station. He Might,
alilion , rh' "native Ai 1 1111 I/ 1"
both the great Jeffersoniiihrequisites of hones
ty and -capability. - The people of Philadelphia
have discovered the great error into which
they have fallen, and now groan under exces
sive-taxes, which arc levied to keep' up an ar
tily of hungry office-holders. The expenses of
this "Know Nothing" government is $700,000
per annum—more than 'the-ordinary annual
expenses of the goVernment of -the great State
of Pennsylvania —and to meet this ,vast outlay
of Money the,eity tax alone is one dollar and
eighty . cents- on every'hundred dollars of real
estate ! • Are-the people - of - Permsylvanin - wil ,- '
ling'to try the fearful experiment, - and place
our old Conimonwealtb - under the men-who
now so,badly govern Philadelphia ? Are,they
-willing to discard Digler, who has been so
pure in office. that his administration stands
without it blemish, and elect Pollock, who
woncd, be to the State What, Conrad ,is to, the
city. We cannot believe it—we have too
much confidence in'the wisdom and integrity
of the-people. When We are asked to vote for
a "Know Nothing" Governor, or any other
candidate, let us point to Philadelphia,_ over
taxed and over-ridden with a gang pf hungry
cormorants, Whose love for their "native land'
and
and whose zeal for the "bible" is regulated by
the drafts in their fitvor ou the Treasury. The
