Know-No things and Locofocos. The State Sentinel and other OldLine papers are growing desperate since the late National Council met in Philadelphia. They take on terribly because those who acted in concert last year are not able fully to agree this year. They keep telling ut that Know-Noth-ingism is dead—used up—annihilated —but still they pitch in, as though they thought some vitality still remained.— Well, we are willing they should rant on abuse the people abuse the preachers—abuse the Liquor Law.— It is hard to see their idols trampled to the dust, and men put in their stead who are willing to hear and obey the people. As for the Indiana Platform, it is not just exactly what we desired in every particular, but still will do to defeat the Old-Liners this fall, and in the spring, we hope, to have one a little better suited to the tastes of the people. In the meantime, we hope, we shall be able to live under it if we cannot stand on it. But why rant, if Know Nothingism is so completely demolished as some Locofoco Editors would have us believe.^ Perhaps, they think Sam is a hypochondriac, and they can persuade him he is
really dead. We rather cal-
Qulate that about the time frost comes next year they will find Sam alive and Licking still. We shall see what we shall see.

MESSRS. EDITORS Since the appear* ance of the State Platform, adopted at Indianapolis, in its organ of this city, some of us old and first members of the ubiquitous order in Terre-Haute have felt no little alarm at the monstrous transformation that disgraceful charter of principles endeavors to effect in us. Why, sirs, in the Platform of the State Council, I can't for thfi life of me, recognize but one or two features of original Know-Nothingism, and these are made secondary morsels in the sweet dish served out to us. I am not, I confess, posted like two or three others I know of in this latterday Know-Nothingism, but I do profess, as one of the originators of the
Order in this place, that those glorious principles upon which we raised the mighty superstructure of Americanism in old Vigo, are trampled down by the ruthless hands of those who have other matters at heart, than those contemplated by the avowed principles and intentions of the ritual and charter under which I and hundreds of others in this county were brought into the Order.— Let me ask those who now stand first and foremost in the ranks, if anti-Ne-braska or Free-Soilism ever, in the time of this Institution of Americanism, occupied a position of one of its principles, until a few days ago If it did, then, we have been misled most wofully And, sirs, I contend that the Slavery question, in any form, never did enter into and form apart of KnowNothingism, and never can justly or consistently yet this State Platform, brought home by our Delegate, makes it obligatory upon all members to agitate the restoration of the Missouri Compromise, and to ever, in the future, vote against the extension of Slavery and these duties are made paramount to Self"Seallllg those enjoined upon us at our iniatation TT XT O .A. JN~ S into the Order. Foreign ism and Cath
olicism are matters of small concern, and are to receive a secondary consideration only. Is this not so Have we we not, like the submissive flock of the shepherd, been led by the hook into the very folds of Free-Soilism Undeniably Let me ask if any principle of the Order, last fall, made it my duty or your duty to vote the anti-Ne-braska ticket! I say NO Shame on those who are turning this pure well into the noisome pool of polluted demagoguism—thrusting aside the blood of '76 and substituting that of the AngloAfrican Shame on those who are seeking to take advantage of the spontaneous uprising of the people on a question of Americanism vs. Foreigners, to "wring in" a miserable, wornout and God-abhorred question, and thereby subverting the other These are my sentiments. I never can—and no true Know-Nothing ever can swallow the platform published by the Express. It is impossible—it is so inconsistent with the aims of the Order.
Once more, my friends, let me propound a question to the talented Delegate of old Vigo. The Express says you went up to the State Council instructed to "say nothing" about Slavery, directly or indirectly. I presume you did,not—but, sir, did you follow the example of your immortal few who went to the National Council similarly instructed, and enter your protest against the monster iniquity Answer this well and faithfully, and further interrogatories will be addressed to you by one of the
