Will le Soulli be Deceived?
The united Whig proas of ihe South lias
wheeled into line in support ol the know-nothings.
liir.ed with the hope thai at last the democratic
partv an be put doivn, and that know-nothingism
l9 to t fleet it, the editors ol the whig papers in the
South devote all their energies to the new cause
ol proscription and fanaticism. There is unmea
sured falsehood and injustice in the course of these
journals in fuvor of the secret party ; and we of
ICO wonder if the whigs of the South will not be
disgusted by the bold inventions and misrepre
sentations offered for their acceptance, in ordr to
consummate this new fraud. The L'-uisville Jour
nal, of the Gth of April, has an editorial appealing in
favor of the know-noihings a fair instance of the
ackiessness of the whig papers South, as the fol
lowing extract will show :
'The standing charge, the daily charge, mide
by the southern anti-know-noihin organs ngninst
the know-nothing party of the North is, that it is
an abolition free-soil party. Throughout the
whole South there is not a single anti-know-nothing
organ that does not press this charge upon all
possible occasions, in season and out of season.
It is the main charge indeed, the one charge
upon which the southern know-nothing leaders
rely fur success. Take it away from them and
tJjev have liitle left. And it should be taken a-
charge as the very genius of mendacity and mil- !
ice could invent. Whatever sins the know noth- j
party of the North may have to answer for, I
here or hereafter, abolitionism is not one of them. I
Undoubtedly there are abolitionists among them,
and undoubtedly, in some few localities, the abo
litionists predominate among ihem ; but the whole
know-nothing party of the North toother, and it
is sounder at heart, sounder in principles, and
.i
sounder in action upon the great slavery issues)
than any other party 111 that section has ever been 1
Mown to be."
The answer to such a misstatement is easy
w.. ...... .,..1
e can only express our surprise that a newspa- s
per pretending to ordinary regard for troth should j
...u.. u, . mu,8 wcuiM in so monsirous a roo-
rication. What are the (acts facts that cou'd
not be imknowno ihe editor of the Louisville
Joornal, because they are noiurious and unan
swerable ?
First. That in nearly eveiy ense the know,
nothings iu the free States have elected violent
tree s .il whigs to the a 1th Congress.
Secondly. Thai in every case, with hut three
or four exceptions, evrry candidate for Congress
elected by the know-nothings was compelled to
pl-dg- himself ir) advance to all the extr-itip mea
f urea it the abolition win", bginnim wi'h the
-st.ir-ition of the MiinruMfci Cotnproasiae line, and
ending with the repeal n the fugitive-sla ve law.
Third. That every governor elected bv the
know-notbingS in the free States was compelled
to avow It's abolition proclivities in advance, nod
we irive the list for the benefit of lite Louisville
J urnal : Crimes, of Iowa; Gardner, of Massa
chusetts j Mete 1 1, of New Hampshire; Binghim,
if Michigan ; Dutton, of Connecticut ; Hnppta. of
Rfa d Ulnndj Pollock, of Pennsylvania ; Morrill,
of Maine.
Fourth. That every senator of the United
S ati s e!i cted by the know .nothing is a rank,
lao.tt ical, and avowed abolitionist. The follow
f
ing list is submitted to the inspection and crii-

the (!ei::o rUic party in Pennsylvania and fndi

St it. s to the United States Senate of rank and
uncomproosisinc abolitionists.
But the Louisville Journal is not consistent with
itscll in th'- unfounded and unscrupulous allega
tion thai the know-nothing party is sound and na
tional ; for in ihe same number of ihe p iper from
which we have made th above extract, and in
the parallel column, we find the following:
"Disorganizing Legislation nv the Statfs.
The States ol Massachusetts and Michigan have
enacted laws with th avowed desi'Mi to obstruct
the execution of the United Stales fugitive-slave
law. The Siales of Wisconsin and Ohio managed
to effect the same uhjust purpose through th in
stiirmentality of the judges of their courts, w ho as
sume jurisdiction to which thev are not lawfully
entitled. The Slate of New York sremul deter
mined to distinguish herself by supassing her sis
ler States in the infamous work of practical nulli
fication, there is a bill before the legislature of
thai s'.ate, which will probably become a law,
hat is clearly uncons'i'utional, and if capable of
n ing carried into effect would render utterly no-
tory ihe act of Congress providing for the re
turn of fottiva s!avs."

Wisconsin, ns we have shown, is iu precisely the
Bnnte condition ; Ohio ihe same; whi'n in the
New ork legislature all the anti-slavery projects
of Mr. Seward are seconded by men who went
no ihf know-nothing lodges to get votes for bin
when up lor re-election to the Senate.
ra abolition resolutions are now before the
know-nothinor legislature ol Pennsylvania, and aft
expected to pass.
The mo! revolutionary abolition inst rue lion
resolutions have already been passed by the know
notiimg legislature of Michigan.
The same have been passed by the know-nothing
legislature of Maine.
The same by the know-nothing legislature of
Illinois.
Such are the trophies of know-nothingism in
the free States. We ask, will the people of the
South be deceived? We do not invite their at.
tention to arguments to be contested, but to facts
palpable and present. We point to members ol
ongress already elected and known; to trovem-
rs now in office; to legislatures now in session :
o scenes passing before all eves.
1 he people of the South have often been de-
eived by the whigs of the North by those who

-Astounding Development.
In our article of ye&!erday, under this head, we
established, by fuels and figures, the amount that
Great Britain had expended for the sinister pur-1 case in Hayti, where, with its peculiar fitness for
pose, as i shown by her acts, of effecting a dis- the article, not a hundred pounds are now pro
solution of the Union. This amount was no less ! duced.
than Si 20,000,000! She commenced her opera

Spain, and has continued them unremittingly to

had the glory of living to see "slavery upon a very
precarious footing in the United States." The
machinations of himself and his cotemporaries, to
his vision, wre steadily accomplishing their work.
British statesmen had learned from the lessons
taught them, terminating with the battle of New
Orleans, that we were not to be whipped into
obedience. That, with God's blessing, we were
able to take care of ourselves on land or sea. Of
fighting they had experienced enough, and that,
if wfe were to be arrested in our mighty progress,
it would have to be by other agencies than fire
arms. Hence the origin of the notion of obtaining
a control over poor, puny Spain, by which they
could command the Gulf of Mexico, and thus hem
us in, stifle our expansion, and endanger Southern
institutions.

countrymen do not turn stark mad Know Nothings.
The island ought to be ours, according to the in
flexible law of seif preservation, from its geograph
ical position; it ought to be ours from its peculiar
location and population, upon the principle so ably
laid down by Vattel, that "every nation has an
undoubted riht to provide for its own safety, and
to tike due
precaution against
distant us well ns
impending danger' We are free to declare our
belief that it must be ours by purchase or by con
quest, or else the designs of Great Britain will
succeed, and this Union be severed in twain.
Thi, are njre qui e confident, is becoming Southern
opinion and Southern sentiment ; and the time has
arrived when all concerned should know it. The

of the dry bones of octogenarians and political
moral i2ers of three-score and ten. But let them

aim. We commiserate them, and regret that in

Income noliiical dotards, thev should keen out of

Madison, after he signed the United Slates Bank
charter, that he had lived too l..np for his fame.
nlthnugh he was not then 6-4 years old. In his
celebrated anti-internal improvement speech of
18:24, Mr. R quoting the verss which follows,
said: ' Sir, that act, and one other which I will
not ninie, brirg forcibly home to my mind a train
of melancholy reflection on the miserable state of
oor mortal being :"
"In life's last scene, what prodigies surprise!
Fears of the brave and follies ot the wise ;
From Marlborough's eyes, the streams of dotage flow,
And Swift expires a driveller and a show."
The editors of the Notional Intelligencer bring

Our readers will pardon our digression. As to
what Cuba would be as to what any slave State
of this republic would be abolitionized, may be
distinctly enough ascertained by the following ex
Iraci from the leader of tht London Murning Herald,

From Washington The Union on Cu
ban A flairs.
Washington, April 29.
The Union this morning has a long article on
the stale of our affairs with Spain.
It affirms that the President regards the recent
bringing to and examination of American vessels
as violations of international law, indignities to our
flag, and aggressions upon our rights which will
not be tolerated.
Commodore McCauley is not to argue with
Spanish cruisers as to the right of search or visi
tation, hut sav to them : You mav claim no riht
of search, visitation or examination, of any vessel
rightfully bearing our flag upon the high seas,
under any guise or pretext, in my presence or
within my reach. If you attempt it the act will
be done at your peril.
The Union says that therefore the Spanish Gov
ernment have the issue of peace or war in their
own hands. If they persist in their aggressions,
war is inevitable.
All of which is already known to our readers,
through our intelligent Washington correspondent,
who has perhaps as much authority to speak for
the President on Cuban affairs as the Union
now has. Our Washington correspondent's letter
published yesterday gave the above as the sub
stance and tenor of Com. McCauley's instruc
tion. Eds. Com, Adv.
"The Best Blood." In a recent speech in
the British House o( Commons, Lord Palmerston,
defending the aristocracy, said that the best blood
of the United Kingdom had been shed in ihe Crimea.
What is "the best blood ?" The Bible informs us
that the Creator made "of one blood" all nations
of men. So that "ihe blood" of all men must
have been at one lime equally good. Now the
question arises, how it became divided into dif
ferent qualities good, better, best, and vile, viler,
vilest. In fact, what is good, and what is bad ?
Is good blood that which is pure and in a healthy
state, and bad blood that which is impure and
tainted with ill humors? If so, the peasantry and
laboring men of most countries have the best
blood, and in that aspect of it, Lord Palmerston
was right when he said that "the best blood" of
Britain had been shed in the Crimea. The blood
chiefly shed there was that of the healthy and
vigorous sons of toil, and it has been shed in
oceans.
However, Palmersfon had no such plebeian cur
rents in view when he spoke of he "best blood."
nor did he refer to exalted moral and intellectual
excellence, irrespective of birth. The "best
blood," in his opinion, is the aristocracy, though
it should be shamefully effeminate, brutally ig
norant, viciously corrupt it is still the "best
blood," and the worst blood is that winch, though
it might combine the genius of Shakspeare and
the piety of Fenelon, is irretrievably damned by
plebeian extraction. Richmond Despatch.
Tee Pea-Nut Trade. The Norfolk Herald

bushel ; and 8 40 bushels at $1 40.

A Great Blessing to the Afflicted. The number
and formidable character of diseases of the Liver have
long challenged the attention of medical men. Some
ol these diseases, classed under the general term ol
Consumption, have been supposed incurable and the
unhappy patient allowed to die, without medical science
tQ Jg&m a hopi orecovery. Happily this can no
longer be the case. A remedy has been found which
w ill cure all complaints, of whatever character, arising
from derangement of the Liver. The Pills discovered
by Dr. M'Lane. of Virginia, act directly on the Liver ;
and by correcting its operation and purifying it from
disease, cuts off and extirpates the complaints which
l 1. . : . 1 j: c 1 .: t . -

to operate upon the seat of the disease; but Dr. Mc. i

I
existence.
