--- INVITED TO A BLZZEID FEAST, •
Know Nothing editors, if they can boast of
no other qualities, can at least "brag" en be
ing possessed of a good stock of impielence.—
The appeals they are no‘vinalting to the old line
Whirs fur aid. arc as amusing as they are heart
less and impotent, Cut a fiev meet hs
Sam Nv as in his glory, nail the editors in his
interest were kept busy chronicling Know
,Nothing Victories, The character of this de,-
perate faction and the ultjl!eili of its leaders
had not been divulged, and the people, for a
short time, were induced to put faith in &on
and his minions, But in every State end
every county where Know„ Nothingista has
been tried, it has been cendenied_andrepu,
dieted. ,Scent's victorious legion;; have' been
routed -on every field, of late, amid the Democ
racy of the country--for a time under a cloud
.--are again in the aseeedant, and in most of
the States are stronger than ever. 'filet the
old line Whigs—those few patriotic men, the
relies
. of a once powerful party, and who
.could not be induced to ' join in a crusade
against the Constitution of their coentry—that
the old line Whigs, we say, have contributed,
in many instances, to aid the Democratic par
ty, and thus crush out the fell spirit of bigot
ry and intolerance, 'well,known and grate
fully acknowledged.
Because the old line Whigs have pursued
this course—because, feeling thonselv es as a
party helpless and powerless -they have aided
the Democratic party rather than k row Nuth
ingigm, they are alpased and fie t tered -in turns
by the papers of the Know NoCuing party.
We have two. papers of that fitetion now be
fore us, Number one contains a most violent
attack upon the old line Whigs, stignn
them as "traitors," "renegades," "apostates,"
Xe - . Number two contains a whining hutder,
and the editor Must litiVeletd tours in his eyes
when ho wrote the article. He appeals to the
old line Whigs for nid—and reminds them that
one of their number is en the "Union Stole
-Ticket," and - must receive the Know Nothing
and Abolition vote if he desires to make a show
• for an election,' lie coaxes and flatters and
whimpers like a school boy about to receive a
- thrashing. But, will the old lit 0 Whi y' heed
these threats and appeals? We opine : not,
These men will have no candidates of their own•
to vote for this'fall, 'and have a pertect right
to support - who they please, and certainly they
have too much gri and pride of character" to
vote for the men who murdered the Whig,
party, They will not,' we feel Satisfied, ac
cept the invitation now given thom by the
Know Nothings, who, not very lung ago,
boasted that their party had arisen from the
'ruins - ef the ohl - particA, amh.,l4:,arted the 'Whig
party as dead beyond the. hope of resurrec
tion, A pretty invitation, truly! Whigs in
vited to a buzzard's feast to help to devour
the carcass of the... Whig party, and
.swallow
down the remnant of it by au amalgamation
with Know Nothing.ism---all of. which is 'in
