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.

no injury yet. What injury has it done Prot

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

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.
