HOW STANDS THE CASE! There can no longer be any doubt that numbers of the Know Nothings of the northem and western*States are rapidly following the example of their quondam brethren in the South by severing all connection with the order. Various causes are contributing to this result but the most prominent is the absorption of the power of the order by tho discarded hacks of the ancient opposition to the Democratic party. Wo are told that a great many Democrats connected themselves with the order that they 'might "get rid of the old Democratic leaders." And if this were so, would it not be a rather violent inconsistency for such citizens to be willing to take up, instead, with the hundred-times repudiated demagogues of a party that is confessedly dead and buried? Even those who have left the Democratic party in order to better their fortunes have notoriously made nothing by their motion. They have not only been compelled to submit to the command of old

Whigs and Abolitionists, but they have also been compelled to yield the lion's slia'-e of everything in the shape of patronage to the latter. A large class, however, who entered the secret order in the hope that it would be a national party, have been most scandalously deceived. They looked to Philadelphia to realize their dreams in this respect, and there they saw their leaders solemnly agreeing to a sort of national platform, which was in a short time afterwards quite as solemnly repudiated by the most powerful portion of the body! But this is not all. Many men in the North entered the order in good faith, under the influence of the sermons of a set of run-mad clergymen to put down the Catholics and now they are called upon to yield this essential article of their creed. Others were captivated by the secret element of the order and this, too, has been disowned. What to such classes as these is the Know Nothing party as it stands? Nothing whatever but an ifbolition party in the North and a disunion party in the South.

GREELEY AXD THK DAXCING NEORO.—W» saw in an exchange a few days ago an extract from a letter of Horace Greeley's to 'which that worthy describes his sensations on seeing a fair young lady clasp in the dance the robust and greasy form of a huge negro. He said it excited within him emotions of disgust, and he left the company forthwith. We made a note of the remark for future reference.

ing Horace by what the columns of the Tfibum contain, we should have fancied that this specimen of Abolition philanthropy would be chronicled as one of the noblest of human actions, and the fair actor canonized as a saint of indisputable and Sdrpa'ssing cxccllcnoc.

Horace has been hugging the negroes ever sincc he began his editorial life. His tender embraces of their delicious forms have been heralded on the wings of the wind. His pen performs its wonted task with renewed alacrity at the mere mention of Fred. Douglas, Box Brown, and the rest of the fugitive blacks. Why, oh why,

and Mr. PUKCELL, interpreter

^*a« they would oc peifectlv agrees,

what the Catholic Telegraph has to say:]

Cincinnati Commercial. A correspnndent'of the Daily Commercial, named Hiram Ct x, announces in the Wednesday morning edition of that sheet, that the Know Nothing Lodges have opened doors to all Catholics who will renounce "political allegiance.to the Pope of Rome." "Political Ccdholic.Uy alone is th:. test of membership." ]3y J'ohtical Ca'holicity, Mr. Hiram Cox understands that "inasmuch as it is the general belief of Catholics that the Pope of Rome is the Vicegerent of Jesus Christ, and successor of Peter, that he is, by right of such succession, invested with all power over this nether, as Christ is over the upper and hcal'ji: region. This right Americans deny. They luily concede to him all spiritual power ov-jr'his own Church, and the adherents of her particular tenets, but Americans deny him the right and refuse to recognize any authority as a temporal I'linoc even over the members of his own flock in this republican country."

We must do Mr. Cox's ir.tclliger.ee the discredit to believe him honest in the above declaration. We have no doubt that there are thousands of men deluded 1 ik«J him by the incessant clamors of the Know Nothing parsons and press, ir.to the belief of Catholic disloyalty to the Constitution. Now, we assure Mr. Cox and his class, that no Catholic in the United States, or in the world, claims any authority for the Pope as a temporal prince, over any part of the woild out of his own State in Italy. The division of power which he makes, giving Christ authority "over the beatific, and St. Peter control of the nether world," was never thought of by any Catholic. We do no: ask for the Pope anything more than "the spiritual power over his own flock," and we deny him, as emphatically as Mr. Cox's "Americans," any right or "'authority as a temporal prince, even over members of his own flock in this Republican country."— Will Mr. Cox and his class believe this?

In the name of Americans, Mr. Hiram Cox repudiates the Know Nothing party: "As Americans, we have no war with the religion of Catholics, nor ever id.— We deny most emphatically that we ever objected to them because they were believers in, and adherents of the Catholic religion, as it is generally termed." 'X'iiis is a wholesale condemnation of the brawling, street jcenchlng ftim.fics, the church-burners of Newark, Boston, &c., the priest mobbing of Ellsworth and Mobile, the unscrupulous calumniators of Catholics, who have done ^o much to depopulate our cities during the past two years. But it is only the voice of an individual and the Order which has endorsed the conduct of George D. Prentice during the late Louisville riots, seems to think differently from Mr. Cox, and. to imagine that the country is to be saved by further riot and mu rdcr.

If Mr. Cox did not object to us on account of our religion, then he objected to us on no ground whatever. Ti.e Political Ilomanism that alarms him, is a creation of malicious calumniators and if honest goeasy people, like Mr. Co.v, will join in a hue and cry against us, for holding doctrines we abhor, we can do nothing but say, "Father, forgive them, they know not what thev do."

It has been said, and we suppose with truth, that all the Methodist prcachcrs in the State save about ft half dozen, joined in the Fusion movement last year and became members of or sympathizers with the Know Nothing organiz ttion." What has been tho course of the Know Nothing Fusion party and their organs and orators to\?1ird these live or six ministers who refused to join in the crusade against the Democratic parly and against adopted citizens? Who that has watched the columns of tho Know No» thing newspapers does not know that fhey have been loaded down with the most ferocious abuse of these clergyman? What man on the Democratic ticket last year was ucculkvl- witli more venuni, VTtb mord^ttalignity, with more unsparing ab'asq.than Prof. Larrabee? Of what offence hsd Prdf. Larr-ibi-e been guilty, that he "should "be pursued with .so much malice and vituperation? lie had spent the prime of his manhood in the occupation of a teacher.^ His highest ambi'ion was to secure the'Iote of his pupils and to inculcate those lessons.of wisdom which he hail devoted years to the acquisition of. Void of guile, with thp^implicity of a child, none knew him ^but to love him t'H it v/as ascertained that,~unliko a majority of his brethren in the* ministry, he d. termiued to maintain his political as well as his religious principles. When it was ascertained that he could neither bo frightened nor coaxed from his political integrity, tho forked tongue of slander was set to wagging, and no calumny was too gro-^ iHisioni.-m to utter against him.

I' Dr. Daily, the able, eloquent, and accomplished President-of the Indiana University, is another,Methodist minister who ivfu-ed !.- join t.iio Know Nothing standard. Has Dr.* Daily ever used his position to in'•ulcate his political vi.-w-? Has he ever delivered political sermons? Has he ever made political speeches? II.T.3 lie ever ncglecfe.l his duties to attend political meeting-? Wu have never seen or beard of such a charge being made against him.— Yet Dr. Daily has not escaped the abuse of tho who are pleased (o style the Democi'atic party "preacher haters." The Indianapolis lu'publ'can, itself edited by a Methodist preacher, has opened the floodgates of its filthy columns to denunciations of President Daily. The only charge it can bring against him is that he is an "old-liner," and refuses to take an oath to proscribe and to ite that portion of God's creatures who first saw the light of heaven in other climes.

A third subject, of Know Nothing Fusion denunciation is Kcv. George W. Ames, now superintendent of the Blind Asylum. Against him storm of indignation has be attempted to be raised by all ihe big ar.d little organs of Fusionim in the State. Starting with the foul sheet we have already named, charges of the most calumnious nature have been echoed and re-echoed from the Lake, lo the Ohio. Does any one believe thai if Mr. Ames had been a K. N., and occupying his present portion, one word of oumplaint would have been uttered against him? Far from it. 'i

Within the last week or two the Rev. James Mitchell of Jellersonville, has drawn down upon his devoted head the c? the preacher-loving party. Mr. M. is guilty of two grave offences. He was born in Ireland and he has publicly condemned the ih'.citing1 and rouctiny f,C mrn, women, and children in Louisville. It is possible t-hat the crime of having been born in Ireland would have been forgiven Mr. Mitchell had he endorsed the conduct of the Louisville Know Nothing rioters and proclaimed from the sacred desk that in burning Irish Papists they were doing God service. But because Mr. M. would not and could not do this, he is pursued with tiger-like ferocity by the organs of the party which professes to be the special champion of ministers of the gospel.

Wc have no doubt that more bard things have been said by Fusion newspapers about the above four ministers—neither of whom has made a political speech or preached a political sermon or attended a political gathering—than has been said by Democratic newspapers of th scores of preachers who have habitually preached politics from their pulpits, who have neglected prayer-meet-ings and class-meetings to attend Know Nothing lodges, and who have falsely accused their Democratic fellow-citizens with being the "preacher-hating" and "whiskyloving' party.

In view of the course of the Iv. N. editors of Indiana toward the excellent ministers last

referred to above, they should be the
