Asmara' Vxcrni.—The proscriptive spirit
of Know-Nothingism has stricken down an
other 'victim. The lion. Joseph R Chandler,
for nearly a quarter of a - century editor ofthe
United , States Gazette, one of,tbe -most able
and dignified Whig prints in the country—a
gentleman eminent for his personal virtues
and, intellectual aceornplishments—esteemel
alike by friend and foe—was a candidate for
re-nommation to Congress before the `Whig
Conference in the District he .now so ably
represents; and did not receive a . single irate!
Job R Tyson received the nomination in • his
stead. Mr. Chandler is a nativo of New Eng
land, and an American in all lug feelings and
sympathies. By his writings aart from pol
ities, as well as by his peiso - example, he
nai l)
.has, during a long life of pubic usefulness,
exercised a salutary influence, pon the corn
- mnnity of which he is . an. o ament. But
l
family. associations have mide im a Catho
lie in his religious -faith, and therefore, the
i l
Whigs of Philadelphia, true the - oblige
'lions they took u ... entering * i nto the Know
:Nothing eonspi ..y, coldly cast him off, as
though h e tad . : •n. to them a stranger and
- an enemy, instead Of a , &Ufa; servant and
friend, all his days. An exhibition Of in g rat
itude
and proscription like tbis, should re-,
Oeive the scornful rebuke of every man who
has a spaik of-honest feeling la his breast.
• Sinee,this Know-Nothing slaughter. of Mr.
Chandler, a Convention of Independent, Whigs
has met, and nominated him fair Congress in
opposition to Mr. Tyson. We are gad Loin
