THE KXOW NOTIIIrOS. ' Open a papci from wh I part of the Union you may, whether from ti.e busy empiriums of commerce, the eau of lenUtion, or ihu litile villages cmbosumd deep in the wood, we are sure to see surin us in the face, the ttrange nnd Judicrou collocation of word Thu Know Nothings! Who are the Know Nothings? where do they meet? huw do tlvy exert their power? und how must a man proceed to gain admittance to their rank? aid questions Asked by every body, and t everybody replies: Ask nothing on that vubjrct, lor about it I know nothing! Some are even so incredulous , as to ask whether snch a body of people rs the Know Nothing really exists at all! They imagine that as witchcraft existed in Salem, without any Retail witches, so Know Nothingism may now exist from onu end of the j United S'.atcs to the other, without the actual beim of a sin 'hi Know

Nolhingl born En; This reminds us uf a tub'lihman we were once ac quainted with, who was cxtrcmly fond of talking about the British Constitution. We used to deny the existence ' of such an insüument, and ask the t jjeutleman to cite some of its provisions, stating the sections in which they could be found. This, of course, could not be done, but the difficulty by no means embarrassed our acquaiotanre. "Dots cot the Queeu talk about it in her speech? he would ask;' do you not read of it in books, and hear it spoken of in conversation? If it can be spoken about, . written about, and convereed about, it must exist." Oa the logic of our friend, we feel confident that the Know Nothings exist, for ihey are the subjects of an unut terable amount of speechifying, writing! and conversation. I But if they exist, who are they, and j -where are they? These questions it is impossible to answer. If w point ! to a clever confectioner, a popular dealer in china, or a high spirited h itter, and ask in succession Is he a ( Know Nothing? the answer is, 'Ev-l erybody says so, but for my part, 1 1 know nothing about it." If we nsk I where do the Know Nothings meet?! we are told: "The newjpnpcrs have mentioned this, that, and the other n nrp i ir hnnw r i' u i rnr n. ir n n I . f. , .

Without consulting the feelings t f his wife, he ordered one barrel of tvhiaky, one ke of brandy, one of gin, two of port wine, whidi were ro!led;out on the plat.'ortn in Iront of the door. Tbe intellijrence ot this change spread through the village like fire in the wooda in the" month ot August.. Ttie inhibits n'., like the Athenians on . a certain occotion, spent their timt in nothing else but either to hear some nsw tbing about Doty's change. - John Donaldaon, on hearing of it, took his cane and and slowly walked down to the place of excitement. When j he arrived he found them at dinner, and the barrel and kegs still standing on the plattorm. Bein.; in one of his musical mood, he took Irom his pocket a piece o!' white chalk, and wrote in a Urge, fair hand, on onn of the ratks, Inflam ed Eyes, on another. Rheumatism; on another, Family Disturber; another, Neighborhood Quarrels; another. Delir ium Tremens; on another, internal Death. Having finished bis mischieveoui work he pns.ed into the horse barn to await Doty a approch. : He did not tear him.

AnJ I think it is lime we hid aome other law; we have fiJdled on corn stalks lonn enough. All we can do, stid the major, is to exert ourselves, by iisiu all the Influ ence and ill the argument we possess, to get the Maine law. Is there any hope of getting it, asked Stribner. As to that I can't say. I know a large number of our assemblymen are drinking men ; from tbem we can t expect much, replied the major. The older I grow, taid ÖcriSner, the more I see the'necrssity of voting lor good men men who .are temperate, virtu jus, and moral; who will cheerfully mike laws to prolf ct u in our rights, and shield ua from the taxation, paupe ism, and crime which are the consequences of this traffic. . . O, it U limeutible that men will so closely adhere to parly, said tbe major, when they knew it inflicts great evils upon our country. I have watched the workings of thi law for twenty years, said Scribner: and my experience is, that ir it next ti an impossibility to convict a rum.elior. You remember, majjr, a few years ago Paul Stevens was fined fifty djllars.and he carried it up belore old Juds Crane, a h ird drinker, who se. the verdict aside! Yes, and I remember, replied the ma jor, that I once complained before the grand jury of Sam Legget, and a bill was lound against him. The district attorney came and took the names ot witnesses, and on court week went to them separately and told them they might go horns, that the suit would not be called. After they were gone be called on the case, and because the witnesses were not there Leggct was discharged. - Wby did he do that ! asked Donald son. . Uecouse his sympathies were all on that side. He himself was a drunkard, answered the major. That's the way the thing workr, exactly, slid Scribner. They plead for rum, and rum keeps them in office. " politic (tL DU.

But why do I say thai tho bill does not carry out tho doctrine of self-gor-ernment? First, because Instead of allowing the people of Kansas and Nebraska to form their own Kovcrnrnents, CongreM instituies ' govern ments for them; and secondly, in the institution of theso territorial governments, Congress retains in the General Government two-thirds or more.' of tho power of the territorial govwn

ments; th..t Is khc retains in the hands of the General Government, not only the judicial and executive depigments but nlso gives lhe Governor the power to veto tho acts of the territorial legislature; and besides till this, the bill extends all the laws of the United States, which ire applicable, over Unpeople of thesu, territories! , Yet the people will have no voice or participation whatever, in enacting these law

or repealing, if they don't suit them! What a perfect burlesque upon selfgovernment! The people are not allowed to elect their Judges, theirState officers, or their Governor.nor allowed lo pas a f iriLjle law unless approved by the Governor, who is appointed away off at Washington City, by the President of the United Suites, for whorti they are not allowed eVn to vote!!! Isowinthe name of candor and truth, what was this little stump npeech Hbout self-govern meut stuck into this Kansas and Nebraska bill for, unless it was to gull and deceive? And did Congress think she could- thus successfully delude the American people with the beautiful name of selfgovernment, and with this name, hide from detection her outrageous violaCon of the plighted f iith of the nation? This sKcred and beautiful doctrine of self-governme.it, placed co pompously in this Kansas andNebraskabill, and which is violated by every principle ot the bill, is placed in tu s bill as a mere Grecian hor.-e, to cheat and delude the people and which I fear will prove as destructive to the Auiericanij, us the Grecian horse did to tho Trojans. If Congress was in e trntst aboutestablish inr the doctrine of self-government, why did she uot do uz Why did ahe not pass a joint resolution, authorizing and recommending the people of these territories' to torui such govern ments as she pleased. and to elect their own officers? This would have ptoved the sincerity of Congress, hol Cougres.i nevtr intenceu to csiaoiisn any sucn üocinne. She never intended to let theDeonle of l . I T 1 IT 1 I I .
