It was cxpected that the Whig party would unite against the Democracy on the basis of this law. \Yc know that the abolitionist counted on this. Every day proves them mistaken. That party cannot be abolitionized.

The Louisville Journal, once the very soul of whiggery, has taken broad ground in favor of the law.

KJTOW NOTHINGS.

This mysterious organization is fast spreading throughout oar State. Few precincts, especially in the cities and larger towns, but wi?l, in the coming election, show their handiwork.

Uninitiated as we are, we can, of course,

recent speech insomuch as it relates to the K. N.'s was at least very laughable. This much, however, is now clearly established—it is essentially a political organization. To atcrel societies based upon moral principles, such asthe ancient order of Masons, and its younger sister, the Odd Fellows, we have no objections so with the Sons of Temperance as they were originally, and before they were subverted to politics but a sccret society for political purposes we regard in a different light. It is contrary to the gonius of our institutions, and is inconsistent with that perfect equality of rights, which is the glory of our government In a war like that of our revolution it might not only be excusable, but, for reasons self-apparent, it might even be absolutely necessary. But as it is, we have no war in our midst. All is peace. As citizens we dwell together in generous confraternity, proud of our strength, hopeful of the future, free and happy. This results, in our opinion, from the fact, that politically we have no classes, orders, monopolies, or exclusive privileges. Our laws make no distinctions they totally ignore the idea of castes as well as of titles.— Break up this order of things, and all becomes confused, and terrible danger will threaten both society and government. To such interruption may many of the late riots in our cities be attributed.

The Know Nothings, we have every reason to believe, are composed of citizens whom their very patriotism and national pride have deluded. They are an exclusive order. Citizens of foreign birth are inadmissable. They are therefore a caste. They strike at our naturalization laws, if they do not seek the total subjection of all the foreign born. Their's is, therefore, an organized war upon a class having for its object the deprivation of rights.

A bold, open, manly warfare upon the emigrant, naturalized or not, would be reprehensible but that it is secret and ignobly prosecuted, is not only degrading to the character of the native born American, but also promises consequences more immediate and unhappy. If it was done in the light of day, the citizens against whom it is projected, might the better meet it but a work of night, they live in a perpetual insecurity, which will eventually exacer-

O^rSince writing the above we have ascertained beyond a doubt that a "wig-warn" of K. N's has been established in our town. Its place of meeting is in a room or cellarin the row of buildings west of the Court House.

THE THIRTEENTH OF PLY CONTENTION. &• It cannot be denied that the grand fusion movement is a failure at least in Montgomery county. Since then there has been no excitement over it. There has not, even been a ratification meeting called in its hon-

the Whigs with one voice would sing it hosanna. They thought to trade them to abolitionism, and that, like cattle in the mar ket, they would submit to the transfer.— They thought "Nebraska" was a pill that would purge them of every Democratic inclination. They mistook their men. The Whigs of Montgomery are not "serfs," nor are the five delegates the "lords" to absolutely command them. The incorruptable Whigs who fought through former years for principles, which they honestly entertained, have won from their old foemen, the Democracy, a degree of respect and honor, which theirindependence of thought and action has eminently entitled them to. In every township they have united with the Democracy. No trade—no sale—no traitors for them but a brave enemy, whom success cannot lure from their banners, nor money bribe from the support of their republican principles, they choose in preference.

October will live forever in the

memory of the five Montgomery delegates. There is nothing the Democrats and Whigs united cannot do. They have numbered the days of Prohibition, and will cast the money-changers from the temple.

JgT We are officially given to understand that another tcmperance paper is to be established in our town. For our part we have no objections. The cause needs a legion of presses.

jlS?"In the history of all the Whig Conventions that have been held since the days of Washington, is there a solitary resolution in favor of liquor making or drinking?

Our abolition neighbor attempted last week to prove that the old Whig party was always in favor of a Maine Prohibitory Law. The above is a specimen of his logic. By this same process the devil coulJ prove himself a christian. Actions, however, are better than words and with that as a criterion we can prove that the abolition Dr., and the good old whig party, which he, with others, helped murder on the 17th of June, have been decidedly in favor of liquor drinking, at least. Of course, we have reference to the scenes of 10-10. The Dr. at that time was neither an abolitionist, nor in favor of 'the suppression of the liquor traffic." How many whigs in the country will acknowledge that their party was ever in favor of a Prohibitory law, embracing "seizure, confiscation and destruction?" Look out, you man with the pill-bags! To kill your old party was bad enough: but to willfully misrepresent it, also, is perfidiousness doubly distilled. Next year you'll be proving that "since the days of Washington" the National Whig's to a man were abolitionists.

IT Sometime ago the Lafayette Courier started the story, that Messrs. Bright and Pettit had offered to bribe Messrs. Mace, Chamberlain, and Harlan. Mace didn't exactly deny it, but he certainly winked at it, as will be seen in a Buncomb note of his on the subject. But the State Sentinel contains notes from both Bright and Pettit positively denying the concoction. Try again, Ellis. Mace will wink at anything you say.

ZSy The Congressional Convention of this district will be hoklen at the Court House in this place on next Thursday the 10th, We hope to see the seTcral countics well represented.

HOJf. H. W. ELLSWORTH. Had this gentleman consulted his true friends he would never have contracted to stump Montgomery county in favor of Prohibition. And had he been duly enlightened* as to the condition of politics with us, we are sure his good sense would have impelled him to refuse the highest proffer.

With all his talent, education, experience, and political character, he has failed—disgracefully failed. And the reason was not more in his want of a cause, not more in the people' swant of confidence in the honesty with which he supported that cause, bad as it is, than in the people themselves.

His true friends would have told him that the people, both Democrats and Whigs, in Montgomery, have been stirred up about this temperance movement, as a people have seldom been stirred. The very odious employers of Mr. E. accomplished that within the last year. They accomplished it by a series of wanton outrages, a system of intolerable persecutions, and an ebullition of fanaticism long-continued, the people the sufferers all the time, such as were without precedent in our history. To such an extent had they carried matters, that they themselves had become utterly without influence good or bad and they brought Mr. E. into the canvass for that reason. He, by his name and standing, might draw crowds—they could not. But even he has failed of the purpose. It must have been very humiliating to a gentleman of his pride, to have had to address a crowd numbering not more than twenty-five voters. And who will undertake to describe his feelings when he could with difficulty find a place to speak?

Go back home, Mr. Ellsworth. Your doctrine is odious. Wash your hands put on your undefiled Democratic garments, provided you have such any more come to us again, as you ought to have come now,—be the true man, toiling for country and people, and we'll warrant you a better reception and a more honorable one. The people of Montgomery are hospitable, particularly to the stranger it is seldom they ask a man wearing the appearance of a gentleman for his references but they know the writers of your letters, and how you came to honor them with your visit, by whom you were invited, all no less than the party you serve.

A letter from Kiel, dated 19th, published in a Berlin paper, says the French exploring army will disembark provisionally at Zeland.

Denmark shortly will abandon her neutrality. Prussia and Austria have asked France and England to state conditions on which they are willing to conclude peace.

The Russian party state that military operations are nearly at a stand. The attack on Sebastopol was indefinitely postponed.

The attack on Cronstadt would not take place this year. A retreat battle near Bucharest is anticipated.

The Earl of Aberdeen replied that no instructions had been given. The Earl of Aberdeen then brought forward the iollowing message from the Queen.

Her Majesty deeming it expedient to provide for any additional expenses which mayoccur in consequence of the war in which her Majesty is now engaged against the Emperor of Russia on the defensive and offensive, asks of the House of Lords their concurrence in such measures as may be necessary for making provision accordingly.— The message will be taken into considrration on Monday.

LATEST FROM MAURID.—The

publishes a list of the new ministers. General Cayaglasis appointed Commander of Cavalry in Madrid.

A battle was fought between O'Donnell and Brazes. The latter was defeated, and wounded taken prisoner. The populace sacked the palace of Christina at Satamania, near Greneda.

A private telegraph despatch from Constantinople, received at Paris, states that the Russians met with a check near Batam.

No change had occurred in the state of Eastern affairs, and none likely until after further consideration by the English and French governments of the recent conduct of Austria.

The Paris correspondent of the London Morning Chronicle, annex the following communication: The Cabinet of Vienna at Berlin, communicated to the French and English Governments, that the impresssion produced upon them by the answer of the Emperor St. Nicholas to the summons sent by Austria to evacuate the principalities.

The German powers now pronounce to their opinion the proposition contained in the Russian answer, if not altogether satisfactory, appear calculated to serve as a basis for further negotiations, and they propose that Prague shall be fixed upon as the seat of further conferences. They moreover express their opinion that it will not be possible to call upon Russia to evacuate the pr incipalities, if it be not at the same time clearly understood that the aliicd powers shall not stop their movements in advance, in other words, Austria has fallen back into alliances with Russia, but the Austria reserves are to be called out and placed on war footing.

Accounts from St. Petersburg state that the Czar is determined not to yield, but discontent prevailed in the capitol.

The allies have repaired and

occupied the Russian batteries at the Salena mouth of the Danube, and are employed in removing sunken ships from the channel. The Russian Danube flotilla must soon fall into the hands of the allies and the free navigation of the Danube again be established.

TIIE iHAIXE LAW BUBBLE. For two years past, this State has been patrolled by a set of intinerant lectures on the subject of Temperance, manufacturing public opinion on the subject of a prohibitory liquor la#. Every influence has been pressed into the service of this crusade, which bribes, threats or promics could control. Party and Church influence have been diligently sought, and carefully propitiated.: Every species of prejudice has been appealed to, dragoon unwilling converts into the ranks. Ministers hare preached, brokendown, but aspiring politicians have 'stumped and 'bush-whacked,' a subsidized press has entreated, denounced and ridiculed by^ turns, street brawlers and village orators, have fizzed, fussed and gassed, Conventions have been called, platforms have been manufactured, candidates nominated and collections taken, and what is the sum total of all thrs expenditure of time, talent, money and gas in point of result? Who has been benefitted, and what good has been done? A few of the leaders have got nominations' for office, the rank and file have the privilege of voting for thenj on a free soil ticket, broils and dissensions have been stirred op in nearly every peaceful community in the State, crime and drunkeness have fearfully increased, all moral reform has been checked in its course and rolled backward at least a quarter of a century, a sectional party has been formed and the way opened for a long train of misrule and misery. The bubble has broken, as we havo long predicted it would, and we defy any one to point out the first result of that movement by which humanity has been bettered, by which a single human creature has been morally or socially elevated, by which the happiness of a solitary man, woman or child—or the prosperity of a single townr village or community in the state has been promoted. Its leaders wanted office, and the moment the prospect of getting it was presented, they sold themselves to the free soilers, and left their county candidates and their honest followers, who were pledged to the doctrine of "search seizure confis-P cation and destruction" to defend it and themselves, before the people as they best could. 0, what contemptible tricksters, and how severely do they deserve to be rebuked. If we mistake not the ides of October next, will tell them such a tale, as will make each particular hair stand on end, "like quills on the fretful porcupine."—X. W.Argus.

THE BOMBARDMENT OF GREYTOWN.—The-

reason why Greytown in Central America was destroyed by the American frigate Cyane was as follows:

Our minister's life had been threatened, passengers en route for California had been detained, and tlie property of the steamship company damaged to a considerable a extent. So the Cyane, whose commander was familiar with these waters, was ordered to San Juan. On her arrival, the captain demanded twenty thousand dollars to recompense the damage done' to the property of the steamship company, and an ample apology for the insult to the United States, in the person of our accredited minister.— The Nicaraguan authorities refusd to comply with either of these demands, whereupon Commander Ilollins gave them one day to think the matter over. They still refused, whereupon, after due notice and providing means of transit for those persons who desired to leave the place, the Cyane opened her batteries upon the town. Finding that the houses were so flimsy that the bombardment was likely to be "of no avail, Commander Hollins detailed a corps of mariners, under Lieutenant Pickering, wh burned the town. An English man-of-war was lying in the harbor at the time, and her commander protested against the proceeding, but his protest does not seem to have been particularly effective.

£5TThe only paper in Indiana which has within the last few years been recognized as Democratic, that now supports, the mongrel ticket is the Lafayette Courier. The editor of that paper published an aboliiian sheet in 1848, and received his education at the notorious Oberlin College, where whites and niggers .mingle promiscuously, and cat, drink, and sleep, and rccite together. Our democratic and whig: friends in southern Indiana, who support the hybrid ticket must be proud of their company.—X. A. Ledger.

jCiTlIon. Stephen A. Douglas, Hon. J. C. Breckenbridge, Gen.
