So long as certain men in the North, retain a hope that they could use Know-Nothingiam, for furthering antiSlavery principles, they were good K. N'b.,and provided they could accomplish that purpose, they cared not whether they associated with Catholic or Protestant, with Irishmen and Germans, or Americans. But wheu they came to that point where thev were reared to swear fealty to the Union of these States, they become suddenly very consciencious, and declare they can't take an extra Judicial oath.

Well let all such get cut of the ranks, the quicker the better, and let the friends of the American Order, both North and South, meet on the broad ground of uncompromising opposition to Old Lineism, Sag Nicbtism, Abolition Slavery propagandises, and every other ism except Americanism, and let them call their hosts-together and see how many knees, have not knelt to Baal,''and how many mouths have not kissed him.

"We have verj little sympathy for Southern Know-Nothings."—Express, of Sept. 1 st.

Or for any other, who refuse to abandon the principles of the organization, nod take in its stead the one idea of Anti-Slavery. If Southern K. N's. leave off opposing the pandering for foreign votes, which has so corrupted the Old Line parties, that honest men could no longer act with them, and betake themselves to the unlimited abuse of all Old Line Slave holders, because they were Slaveholders, then would tiie gentleman of the Express, have great sympathy for them. Now we have a great sympaty for all true and good K. N's., whether North or South, for all who will lay aside every other cherished idea, and give hearty aid in purifying the ballot box, in a word, who will help to Americanize America, and we care not whether they be Slave holders or Abolitionists, so they will not try to force us to take up with their peculiar notions.

The Louisville Democrat says,

property, in that City, is selling at less than one half what it sold for before the riots, and hints that their bes„ citizens are leaving. Well, we suppose that he means the foreign portion of their population. But we would not be surprised if some or all good citizens did leave. We read in an old, and too often neglected work, written by one Saint John, while on an Island in some of the Eastern Seas, that, "all Livs shall have their portion in the Lake that burneth with fire, and brimstone," and those having read the Democrat, Times, and Courier, since the riot, would be led to conclude that, for convenience, the Lake spoken of above, had better be, and probably would be, located in the neighborhood, and hence think they had bet* ter leave.

As some rare bird, that, from f{| Southern home, Hath wing'd its way to a less kindly shore: Or, some bright dream of beauty and of love,

That lends a halo to the gloom of night: Or, some sweet flow'r, whose rich and lovely hue, I Proclaims it foreign to our barren soil,

Hast thou, *ith all thy rare and matchless charms Among us come, thou young and beauteous one! Alas! as things of brightness always come, In this forever changing world of ours, To stay awhile, and then be seen no more, 'l'be hour draws nigh, in which that painful sound, That bitter word, "that must be and hath been," Will fall, upon at least OVE listenVs ear, In accents harsh, though breath'd by augel lips. And yet 'tis well that, early thus, we part. 'Tw'ie vain for rue to hope to tread the path, The flow'r}- path, that shall be trod by thee] As down the vale of life thy footsteps go. Mine i.-ia darker, ruder, wilder way— 1 oe dnrk, and rude, and Wild, lor forms like thine, A way, that lies through cloud and storm, and strife, et, MtsT be trod, to rcach the goal I seek. 1 hen fare thee well! and though, like ships at sea, We've ruet and parted, with a few brief words, And though, as on our diverse course we go, In life, we, nevermore, 8ball meet again, Upon the tablet of my heart, inscribed, Iu fond remembrance, those bright hours will dwell, That late I've passed, so joyously with thee.

We copy the following resolutions passed at a County Convention of the citizens of Dnviss county on the 18th inst., which was held for the purpose of nominating county officers, from the Washington Telegraph. It will be perceived that our friends of Daviess stand upon the National Platform and discountinance botte the nullifiers of the

abclitionize the State. 1st Resolved, That the American party is national in all its aims and deeds and that no sectional or local influence should be permitted to distract its harmonious action. 2d. Resolved, That we stand upon the Constitution with all its compromises—that Art. 4 Sec. 2nd of that sacred instrument, requiring fugitives from laborer to be given up, is as obligatory as any other of its provisions and that all laws passed by Congress necessary thereto be carried out in ffood faith. •, 3d. Resolved, That the Compromise of 1820, known as the "Missouri Compromise, was regarded by the people of the country, both north and south, as a healing measure, bringing peace to the distracted councils of the nation and was acquiesced in by all, and that we regard its repeal as unwise, unjust,and uncalle.1 for,and a violation of a sacr-id and time-honored compact. Still we are t»ot, from resentment or any other impulses, to be seduced or driven into the support of fanatical men or measures. 4th. Resolved, That we cherish and believe paramount in importance the well known principles of the American party, among which is most prominent, devotion to the Union and unceasing hostilities to its enemies, be they Nullifiers of the South or Abolitionists of the North. 5th. Resolved, That we most cordially endorse the American platform, adopted by the National Council at Philadelphia, believing that it ia most just, wise and national in all its provisions as therein set forth.

The convention next proceeded to the nomination, and by ballot chose Col. John Van Trees for Clerk, John Waller for Auditor, and John Stean for Commissioner of 2d district.
