Satan's Kingdom Tumbling Down The election in Philadelphia on Tuesday of last week has completely disarranged the calculations of the Know-Nothings through out the State. One year ago in that city they swept overboard every candidate op posed to them by majorities from 6,00,0 to over 8000. Now we find them electing but a part of the Select and Common Councils. The Know-Nothing City Treasurer has but 422 majority and the City Commissioner 136 K. N. loss of only about 8000 in one year. The Democrats elected & select and 36 Common Councilmen. Glory enough for one day. Every true American will rejoice. In Lancaster on the same day. the Know- Nothings were completely routed. The elec tion was for School Directors, and after one of the hardest contested elections of the kind ever held iu the city, .the Know-Nothings were beaten by 130 majority. Last year the Know-Nothings carried the School Board by over 600 majority. And still they come. The electio,n for city officers in Indianapolis, Indiana, on the 2d inst., resulted in the defeat of the Know- Nothings. Last year the Know-Nothings elected everything. Truly Satan's kingdom is tumbling down. The Journal's Platform It will puzzle the Jews to tell what kind of principles the Journal is really the exponent of. One week it talks. Whigish, the next it is "Sam" and the "Pope," aucl the next itris anything for spoils. We give but two ex tracts frOin editorials of that paper this week, and if any witio or NEW PARTY MAN can put his finger on the editor before he is gone, he will deserve to be liberally rewarded.

"Politically the Journal shall continue to be, as it always has been, the exponent and defender of Whig principles."—Journal, May 2. Can an honest man serve politically two political masters of opposite politics ? Is the Whig party and the 'new party" one and the same in 'principles ? Will the Journal or the 2lmerican answer. Morris Longstreth, former Canal Commissioner of Pennsylvania, and at one lime the Democratic candidate for Governer, died on Thursday week, at his residence in Montgomery county, his health having been declining for some time. lie was 55 years of age. Buttered on both Sides The reformers of the Legislature have passed the compensation bill. This bill g,ivea to each member the sum of five hundred dol lars, as a salary each session, and milage at the rate of ten cents pet mile, for expenses, for each mile travelled. Heretofore members received $3 per day for one hundred days, and $1,56 per day for all days they remained in session over one hundred. This is another act of Know-Nothing reform.. New York Democracy. At a meeting of the Democratic general committee of the city of New York, held at Tammany Ball, the following among- other resolutions, was unanimously adopted . Resolavd, That the liberal principles im bodied by Jefferson in the Declaration of In dependence, and sanctioned in the constitu tion, which make ours the land of liberty and the asylum of the oppressed of every nation; have ever been cardinal principles in the democratic faith ; any attempt to abridge the present privilege of bocoming citizens and owners of the soil amongst us ought to be resisted with the same spirit which swept the alien arid sedition laws from our statute books." Our Relations With Spain There is a class of American politicians who, upon .the least rumor of an outrage on our flag or our citizens by any foreign power make the'Most tremendous clamor for re dress. But the moment the government un dertakes to procure this redress, they change their tune, and denounce it for its aggressive policy. This is an old federal trick. The blue lights of New England told the old Democratic party that it could not be kicked' into a war ! As soon as the war was declar ed, even from the pulpit they denounced it as a wicked one, the victories of which no good men sliould rejoice at. So it is now. The owners of the ships which trade in the Carribean,. the moment their vessels are interrupted in their voyages, cry out with all their lungs at the supineness of the governmenment for suffering .their packets to be overhauled and fired at. But the moment the President issues an order to the Navy Department to prevent these out rages by a manly and rightful resistance, these very man howl at the bare possibility ,of a collision.—New York Day Book. Prospect• of a Good Crop The intelligence from all parts of the coun try, indicates- that, with 'a favorable season, the grain crop of the present year will be unusually large. The Baltimore American says, in the neighborhood of that city and throughout Maryland,. and the same fact•will hcld good: perhaps in. all sections of the coun try, a much larger extent of ground is under cultivation than usual, the prevailing high prices having induced the farmer to make the best use of all his faculties for securing of a large erop. The Ohio papers generally re port that there is promise of a large wheat crop in that State. In other sections we have the same good report. From Indiana and Illinoise, indeed, the promise comes of an unusually large yield from the present appearance of the fields. In Michigan the same story is told. The Detroit Advertiser says, "the farmers in that State almost unan imously speaks encouragingly of the growing wheat crop. Although the fly had appeared in a number of .the fields in the fall, there is none to be seen now.". The farmers in New Jersey, says the Newark Advertiser, .say that they never knew grain to look bet ter than at present, and that the prospect for an abundant yield was never more encour aging. The Chicago Tribune says, that "if no untoward event interposes between now and harvest : Northwest, which is in fact the granary of the Union, will turn out a surplus which will gladden the hearts of the bread less of the Eastern cities. The Evansville (End.)_Tournal states, as the result of the nu merous inquiries made in that region, "that the wheat prospects of this part of the coun try have rarely, if ever, been better than they are now, at this, stage of the season. The last week's mild weather, with the warm rain, having started vegetation of all kinds into new life, the wheat crops. appear to feel the good effectsamazingly. At the present time all is well in this particular. The ac counts from abroad, as far as. this State is concerned ) are encouraging for, good• wheat crops, while accounts unite in saying that a much-larger quantity of wheat has been sown than last season. The weather of the last week has been. highly favorable to the far ming interests. The fruit in this• region promises well." The editor of the Hick man (Kentuckey) Argun- is informed by in telligence from Tennessee and ICentucky, that the prospects for an' abundant wheat crop were never better than at present. A great deal more than the usual amount was sown last fall, in order to supply the deficiency in the crop, which will be mostly felt in the ramming summer months. Hence with an ordinary season more than an average yield may be expected, bat as such a vast quanti ty has been sown, a more abundant harvest will be gathered than ever before known in that region of the country. Political Prctestantism. The Know -Nothing papers object to the interference of Catholic priests in politics and elections. So do we. We go further. We object to the interference of Protestant priests in politics and elections. The Know- Nothing papers deprecate political Roman ism. So do we. We go further. We dep recate political Protestantism. The Know- Nothing papers abhor Jesuitism. So do we; but not more Catholic than Protestant Jesu itism. The institutions of this country contem plate a complete separation of Church and State, in theory and in fact. We are in fa vor of it. It is one of the best features of the constitution. It will be a taste of the mil lennium when priests of all creeds and sects shall devote themselves singly to ghostly af fairs, and leave temporal affairs to be mana ged by those educated to the business.— When that day shall have prime, there will be far less strife, less contention, less bigo try and less infidelity in the land than new. It will be "the good time come." There is a deal of infidelity abroad, and• it is every day spreading, mainly because there are few counteracting influences. The Chi istian church is not engaged in the same mission it once was. Its adherents have not the same faith in the saving grace and efficacy of the gospel they onee bad. They no longer appeal to the consciences of men, as they used to do, but appeal to the Legisla ture to make laws to compel men to do good. Its ministers (we speak of the Protestant church) leave the pulpit for the hustings— abandon divinity for' politics. Tie}' have been known to join Know-Nothing lodges, and to take the fearful, wicked, damning oaths there administered. The descent is fearful. No wonder that infidelity prevails. We make no professions ourself, but we know what mockery of religion is. No wonder, we say, that infidelity prevails. Things, we suspect, will be mended by and by. Massachusetts has had full fruition of Know-Nothingism. Through the instru mentality of the order thirty or forty profes sed ministers of Christ were sent to the Leg islature. Those thirty or forty ministers have not exercised influence enough to save the Legislature from disgrace. We do not know that they have tried. They voted for the appointment of the committees whose exploits have been recorded in the public journals, and one of whose menbers made shameful propositions to the Lady Superior of a convent, and another of whom, on the expedition to another convent, carried with him a disreputable person of the opposite sex whose expenses were paid by the State!— These things were enacted in the name of Protestantism, in Massachusetts, by a corn- mittee of a Legislature containing among its members thirty or. forty professed ministers of the gospel. They never will be re-enac ted in that State ! Massachusetts has had a surfeit of Know-Nothingism. Few other States will desire to be thus sated. We believe in protestantism. But we don't believe in-political Protestantism that countenances Know-Nothingism. We don't believe in the Protestantism which permits its priests to defile their religion. We don't behave in Protestant inquisitions more than in Catholic inquisitions—m American . inqui sitions more than in Spanish inqupitions.— ' The Protestantism we believe in is that whose weapons are Truth,, , and whose faith is. lin its efficacy. This is what Protestantism used to be—what it must be if it would save itself from disgrace and ruin, and the coun try from infidelity. Know-nothingism has done Catholicism no injury yet. What injury has it done Prot estantism I—Detioit Free Press. Base Forgery upon the Father of his Country, The most familiar practice of the leaders of the secret party is their infamous attempt to dishonor the men of the revolutionary era; and alraady we find a growing indifference among the know-nothings to those sublime and ennobling examples. In proportion as the followers of the debased demagogues who howl in the lead of the know-nothing movement find themselves held up as the only sure stay and support of the country, so will they regard all reverence and , rememr. brance of the past as. unmanly and "un- American." The practice of discarding the memory of the gallant foreigners who fought for the cause of the colonies, on the revolting and mercenary ground that these foreigners, have been well paid for. their. services, is-a• favorite idea of the men that cry loudest that. "Americans shall rule Axnerica." Nor is.l their treatment of Washington and his Amer ican compatriots any less, disreputable and base. They commit the most reckless for geries in quoting his sentiments and the sen-. timente.of his brothers in the stormy days of the revolution. Thus while they refuse to sympathize with the emotions which inspire an American at the mention of Lafayette and Montgomery, and their associates from other lands, they seek to dishonor Washington and the gallant men who . served- with him, by FALSIFYING THE RECORD, and by qnoting ! from his. noble history encouragement for their deeds ofdarknese and proscription. In this way those sacred treasures of the nation al recollection, 'the deeds and the virtues of the heroes and sages of the past, are sought to be banished from the hearts of :he Ameri can people by the very men who declare that "America shall be ruled by AmeriCans." These observations have been suggested by the following pertinent article from the New Hampshire Patriot, the able organ of the democracy of the Granite State. It introdu ces the testimony of the veteran Jared Sparks,, the distinguished editor of Washington's Writings, exposing the scandalous fraud of the know-nothing leaders in perverting to their own base uses the name of Washing ton. At the same time, it will be seen that the Patriot introduces upon the - stand as a witness against the know-nothings the very agitator, W. E. Robinson, who tried to prove Gen. Pierce an enemy of the catholics in 1852. "Time at last makes all things even." Now this former industrious calumniator of an upright man and a consistent party is com pelled to come forWarcl to bear evidence against the rank and file of the very organi zation which in 1852 he held up as the spe cial advocates of toleration and liberality ! Washington. Union. "WAsfuNGToN's ORDER.—During the late canvass in this State, the 'llindoo' organs and orators daily repeated the story that on some important occasion during the revolution Washington issued an order in these words : "Put none but Americans on guard.to.night." Probably there is not one of these editors and orators who did not know that he was uttering a falsehood and a slander upon Wash ington every time he repeated this statement, and doubtless most of them will now admit that no such sentiment was ever uttered or entertained by the father of his country.— The lie, having done them all the good that it is capable of, will doubtless now be pas sed over in silence by them. But we think it proper to show up some of their frauds and tricks, when occasions occur, with a view tp let the people see the knayery of these fel lows. The following extract from a speech delivered by. William E. Robinson, at a late celebration in New York, is conclusiye in re gard to this. "Elindoo" forgery and libel upon Washington. This Robinson is the same fel low who aided these "Ilindoo' 4 leaders in 1852 in their efforts to prove that General Pierce'and the democracy of this State were hostile to the Catholics, and had never tried to abolish the religious test in our State con stitution, and in their efforts to secure the Catholic vote for General Scott. In his speech he said: "But we are told—and it has been gaining credibility among the more ignorant and un thinking of our land = that upon some occa sion George Washington issued an order, 'Put none but Americans on guard'to-night.' This is absolutely false. No such order was ever issued by George Washington ; and yet you will see it flying in capitals as mottoes and emblazorunents at the heads of intensely' American papers. Some time since I ad dressed a note to Jared Sparks, Esq., the American historian, and the able editor of W ashington's Writings, who had seen all that any one man conrd see of Washington's writings, including his printed diary, memo randa, orders of the day &c., and he honored me with-a reply stating that be had never seen such an order, nor was it likely that Washington would issue such a one, surroun ded as he constantly was, by distingeished officers of foreign birth. To associate with such men as Lafayette in the spirit of seen - 1 7 ing confidence, and then privately to issue secret instructions insinuating want of fidel ity and honor in his comrades, would be so deeply dyed in duplicity that no man who honors the r.ame Of Washington could be lieve for a moment that he could be guilty of such conduct. They know nothing of the moral rectitude and high honor of Wsshing ton's character who insinuate that he could have done so." Know Nothing Motto. The following from the 19th chapter of Leviticus is recommended to any Know Nothing paper which may be in want of an appropriate motto : "If a stranger sojourn. with the in your land, ye shall not vex him; "But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among ?pa.— And thou shalt love him. as thyself, for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. I any the Lord your God." A Patriotic Whig In a letterideclaring his inability to address the Democratic Association of Richmond du ring the present. canvass, Thomas J. Michie,. esq., of Staunton, one of the foremost men in Virginia, uses the following powerful Jan.- clua(Te in 1. "Nothing, • I assure you, would - give me more pleasure than to address the intelligent people of Richmond on the interesting ques tions of tlw present canvass—to tell' them. how blighting to the free spirit of our coun try the secret mystery of know-nothin,gism imust„proye how demoralizing it will be to our children, the hitherto high-minded, open hearted, bold youths of Virginia, to be educe-, ted in the sneaking arts of secrecy andespion age; to be taught by their fathers to spy out all the political actions of their fellow-men, and yet to keep their own actions and "objects," , in reference to matters which necessarily Con cern all, a profound secret; to publish plat forms of pr et ended principles, suited, to every latitude and every taste, for the purpose of gaining proselytes, while they feel the de grading conscious.ness that they are prohibi ted, by horrible oaths, from ever revealing, their real. objects and principles outside of their - order, and while a disgusted world is forced to conclude either that their platforms are filledewith false professions, intended to mislead. or that those who publish them are perjured', "Has any party a right to political secrets In private associations men may conceal matters which concern themselves alone.— But politics, relating necessarily to the af fairs or conduct of a government, in which every citizen has an equal stake, how can a party be tolerated in withholding, from any portion of our citizens, information on a sub ject which vitally concerns every one of them In a small partnership, if re portion of the partners were to conceal from the rest their designs in reference to the social funds, their associates, so excluded, would be justi fied in forming a conclusion of dishonesty, and a court of justice would interfere. In the ordinary intercourse of life, an honest man of ordinary humanity, possessed of a se cret which concerns his neighbor's interests, feels bound by a high moral obligation to dis close it to him whom it interests. Yet here is a political party interrneddling in the dark with the affairs of government which involve your and my life, liberty, and property, and those of our children, and of millions of oth ers, and yet they coolly refuse to let us know what their objects are until we shall be in formed by such results as they may hereafter produce. By their own showing they are enemies of popular government; for in such a eovernment the whole community partici pates. "But they show their enmity in various other forms. They praCtically deny the ca pacity of the people to govern, and therefore establish aristociatie councils, with a great consolidating and controling head, located, most fitly, somewhere near "the Five Points," in the city of New York. Power with them, instead of being vested in the people and emanating from them, is vested in these aristocratic councils. The theory of our governMent requires an appeal from aristocracy to the people. Know-nothing ism reverses that theory, by providing in all cases an appeal from the people to the aris tocracy. "If the people had capacity for self-gov ! ernment, this self-styled American (query : aboriginal ?) party deny their honesty ; therefore' they are never trusted except un der oath. And again : while the spirit of our institutions requires every citizen to ex ercise his own best judgment in voting for all officers of government, this wonderfu in vention of Yankeedom requires him to bind himself by solemn oath not to exercise his own judgment at all, but to give his vote as the majority of a caucus, itself subservient to the mandate of a - superior caucus, may or der. These are startling novelties to an American ear. Yet know-nothingism, bold in this respect alone, in all others skulking, denying its name, denying its association, refusinc , to make known its objects, hiding in dark caverns with bats and owls, denoun ces all as anti-American who will riot adopt its dogmas! I should like to discuss and dis sect the monster, not only under the prece ding head, but many others, and especially its federalism. I should like to•,, I IQW the people of 13.i.clirmincl,. and the whole South, eng the cunning (le of the know-nothing nominee for governor, instilled into him, rin doubt, by the same masters under whom he learned his "Americanism," by which he asks the people of Virginia to deprive them selves of all ground of resistence hereafter to the northern plan of intervention in our do mestic affairs, by intervening' in . a crusade against Catholic and foreigners, not because she is suffering any inconvenience from , them herself, but in order to rid her sister States of the nuisance. "But I console myself under my inability to obey your call by the reflection that, if I went ; it would only contribute the feeble light of a.candle - to that glorious sun which has shone and which continues to shine among you, and enlighten you till the day of election. Wise and Douglas, and a host of others, have told you more than I can tell. But, as I have been a whig, only say for me to my old whig friends that I haye looked carefully under the cloak of know-nothing ism, have lifted with a daring hand the veil that covered the face of the Prophet Sam, and satisfied myself w,ell that it is not whig gery as I had always understood it, and as knew it was tinderstood and professed by thousands of honest and patriotic men, but nzonstrum horrendum, informi, ingens, cui lumen redonium. Yes ;as a bat, and as dark as Erebus. Let them beware of it, as they love their lives and high reputation. Histo ry informs us of many secret political parties, but not of one, that I remember, which has been damned by impartial posterity. This party has much, besides its secrecy, to give it an earlier and deeper condemnation than that which has fallen' to the lot of its prede cessors. If the demoCratic party should fol- ' low its lead, what a hell upon earth their underground fight would make; yet it would plead example, and the responsibility would be Sam's. "With high regard, _ _ THOMAS S. MICHIE." It is refreshing, in these days of political delinquency, to see such a man as Thomas J. Michie thus boldly and fearlessly avowing his hostility to the secret order of know nothings and when it is remembered that, for several years past, Mr. Michie has been one of the most talented and efficient leaders of th 4 late whip party in Virginia, we feel that we have just cause to congratulate the country.
