To _come up to its teachings, an irreproachable “walk and conversation" is certainly 'essential ; but if the procession on Monday 'night can properly be said to have maintained such, then is. a large portion_of the human fatpily unstalien in its interpretation of them. As to the speeches in the CoUrt-houseon the occasion, We am infor used that they were hard ly in better taste. Mr. Robison, who, a year ugorwhen canvassing this county for Congress, left the people under the impression dint he had nothing to do with Know Nothingism, and re ceived hundredsof votes because of the ground so taken, proved hfinself a rank follower of ‘:Saul ;" and no doubt is now entertained that he oat; such a,t, the very time he in effect de nied connection With the order. Whether this is becoming 'deportment in one who seeks so important 'a station, au honest and deceived people may judge. Mr. R. placed himself square upon the Know Nothing platform, arid, in explaining , rts pranks, declared that they are in favor of an entire repeal o f the naturalization lows, and if that can not be accomplished. to introduce the 21 years' rule ;-..and, further, that they are opposed to any and all Catholics, whether native burn or not, holding otliee ! This does not tally at all witlolte attempts of the K. N. leaders of Tuts county to deceive members of that elluMh born Within the 'United States;-- but it furnishes another evidence of their dtiplic ity and dishonesty. _ 'There were other speakers, one of whom, we are told, Made . a desperate effort to unnitritute .Maj.

The "eloquent. gentlemen" hhving talked everybody out of the Court-house but, the offi cers, a string, of resolutions (to humbug the unwary) were rend, and adopted by the ricers ! So ended the affair—t u t affair which is made to look imposing ou paper ; but which, in truth, was. as Toots would say, ..of no consequence," except in exposing still ftirther'the follies and faults of Know Nothingism. Aims of Know-Nothingism. It has ever been an ardent- desire with all opposed to American Democracy, "to aggran dize the Government at the expense of the Constitution ; to render it overshadowing in its magnificence, and ultimately unlimited in its authority —thus introducing into our system a venal and fearfully powerful instrumental ay of government, not based upon the virtue and intelligence of the peoPlo, but upon sordid' and despicable appeals to their ay:trice and to their local prejudices." Such is the chief aim of the leaders of Know-Nothingistn. They seek to palsy the will of the people by reckless advances to power and place ; they seek to suppluut Constitutional law by_tbu most um ; just enactments ; they seek official stations through the most truckling means ; they seek National power, and. were they once in posses sion of it, the Constitution of the Union would be replaced by a code of laws fit only for those who revel in "treason, stratagems and spoils !" The Union. %roold be disinembered, and the boasted Republic of America would give place to fragmentary government, presenting to other nations a people bereft of Freedom, and groan ing under.the weight of beggary and white slavery, while these MOCK Americans, who preach love of country and practice hatred to its present Constitution, would usurp power rind gloat over the -downfall of their Country and its glorious Institutions !—Stale Paper.

It is a reproach to the gov ernment that even the , President's message Cannot be withheld from premature publicity. , It is not probable that anything in regard to! our foreign affairs of special importance will occur, within a week after the 3d of December,) \ so as to require a modification at' the message ; unless u indced, Mr. Bucha natis eptitches, pected to•morrow, should not be conclusive upon some points. In that case, the message prepared for Monday or Tuesday the 3d or 4th ' might hold a very different tone from that which further advices might suggest. The 1 message -will, in no probable event, be other than of an amicable temper in regard in our 1 relation with foreign nations. It is said—and it is quite probable—that the message will present and enforce the views of this administration in regard to Central ; American affairs. Upon this subject no new pretension can be put forward on our part.— The present Executive, upon its- accession to ; power, took the ground that the right of etni- I nent domain over the Mosquito coast is in the State of Nicaragua. In a document submitted to Congress in 1853 Secretary Dobbin states ; that San Juan del Norte is, according to the! view of this government, within the rightful' jurisdiction of Nicaragua. Thus we ignore and resist the elaiin and pretension of Great Britain to any jut isdietion in San Juan or elsewnere, in virtue of her Mos quito pioteetorate. There is nothing new in this position on our part, for it the same which waS taken by the Taylor and Fillmore administrations. There is no reason to expect any difficulty on that score—until one or the other party shall attempt to assume some ex clusive possession of the territory in question —a purpose which both parties disclaim. lON.

It is a startling array of facts:- BAIMINIORA L Nov. 11, '55. _take:Editor ,of Ike Union: 7 The know-nothing and whip presses of the • country have spread the news from this State of a complete know-nothing victory, awl I de sire a small space in your coluMns to give the facts as they are.' It is true they - have posses sion of both houses of, the legislature, and fix the first time the people of Maryland are sub ! jeer, civilly and politically, to secret clubs of sworn partizans and demagogues. not mach, less reckless and aspiring than their notorious models the Jacobin clubs of France ; but the world should - know that this has been the re-: suit of frauds and proscription of the most hor -Mile character. We Lave as representatives in Congress two good and true men of talent and nerve, Gen.. Bowie and. Judge Stewart, . and this is our only share ; but- the triumph of -the-know-nothings-1 i I- - has ten-the-, 'severe vengeance of an outra g ed people. Mr. Vansant, one of the noblest ofnien, and a representative'worthy the idolatry of any constituency,' has been most' grosslycheated out of his election by ruffianism and fraud.— His party were unforttinately too confident of his certain su x.ess, and directed their atten tion too exclusivelyto other districts. it is trine; but with all thiS, a fair expression of the pub lic voice would have returned him -by at least LOOO majority after counting out every demo- . crat who had gone into the opposite ranks.— gi - --district is composed of the first eight wards f the city (which at the last municipal elec tion,.tlnee weeks ago, gave 1,025 majority for the democrats) and a portion of the county where he should have had at least 100 majori ty. In the first ward he received 423 votes, and Harris 720—total, 1,143 ; at the election on the 10th of October the democrats had 723 and the know-nothings 562 ; and at the -may or's election, a year ago, the democrats- had 094 and the know-nothings 692—t0ta1'1,380. In addition to the certain increase attending the vote of such a border ward, it is' known 125 persons have been naturalized there in the last year. By a fair calculation, the vote of the ward is now not less than 100, and yet at this election' there were but 1,143 votes•pUiled. One month previous, at a city election, our vote was 733, and on the 7th it . was only 423. The figures speak for themselves,_ and it only remains to•say how:these ,figures were p►•o duced. First, the polls were removed to the extreme end of the ,ward, to a place and ainong those where it was' rightly supposed many would not dare to go. Early'in the day the place was blocked up by: gangs of bullies, many of them armed u ith knives, pistols, and clubs. Native-born and adopted citizens'were stricken down, beaten, and driven away,.while the know-nothing peliee- looked appiovingly mi.—Before `'o'clock in the day scores of our best citizens of classes determined to lose their votes rather than risk their -lives in at- tempting to reach the polls by raining the gauntlet-of the police and their coadjutors. In the 3d ward similar scenes were enacted during the entire day, the democratic judge continually protesting against the mod' of re ceiVing, votes, and especially against the-recep tion of illtgal.ballots. On counting the votes 51 more tickets were found in thu box than were names regiStered. To the great credit of the judge in this ward, Mr. Shelly. he positively refused to sign the returns, and they have gone to the seat of government thus imperfeCtly made up. In the 4th ward the same state of things ex isted as in the Ist—the window blocked up by rowdies to prevent access to any but know nothings, who passed their tickets from one to another into the box, and the adopted citiiens shatnehilly driven from the polls by brute torte, Had the democratic vote of the three wardS been fairly cast, Valsant's majority would have been over WO. This know-nothings themselves freely admit. While every Whig and know-nothing vote was polled, the above number of democratic votes were kept back by intimidation, violence, and fraud, suchas never before disgraced Mir city. Even know;noth7 ings themselves. now their sober reason returns to them, stand aghast at the'deeds of crime and. rowdyism which reigned for the day. - Like debauched creature, who in a drunken hour has adly . perpeLrated deeds at Elte coutempl- Lion of which his soul sinks in horror. are some of those now who revelled in their exciting vi olence at our last election. But the nationmay not yet be deprived of the services of the gal- , lant Vansant ; for the democracy are loudly iu laver of his contesting the right of Mr. Harris to his seat. For a season our old State must be shrouded in the darkness of know-notliingisin, but only for a season. Money, physical force, and fraud have purchased fur tlieu► a short-lived victory,' and placed us all under the dulnivaition of a secret and sworn club but we will crush tit, an early day the fell niouster of civil and reli- gious proscription.

ENTEUPRISE. —As a specimen of the facilities for speedy travel now-a-days; H. C.
