AT 'Ours' are the plans of fair, delightful peace. Vnwarped by party rage, to live like brothers." RAL EIG II, N. C. SATURDAY MORNING. JULY 28. 1855. MISERABLE FRAUD, EXPOSED U The "Standard" of today contain Card, headed "Here they come ogam," dated rFaHs-ol Neuse, July 25tb," purporting to have been signed by seven penons, 4a. which it U stated that they -koto "seduced into the Order" com uionlj known as Know Nothings, and, hating been convinced of the evil tendencies of that order, have withdrawn from it." " Now, we are authorised to state, that as far as Messrs. J. N. Nowell and E. Edwards are concerned, thit is a base frtud. These- gentle men, we are informed, having learned that a certain person had sent such a Curd to-the "Standard" for publication, requested a neigh bor (ilr. Self) to call upon the Editor of that paper and inform him, that the Card was a fraud upon them and the public, that they bad not withdrawn from the American order and that their names most betaken from the paper. Jf. -Sywent to the "Standard office on the evening of Thursday (the 26ib inst.,) and in formed the Editor of the facts, and demanded that the names of the gentlemen named should be taken from it, and the reply was that it was too late ; the card had already been published ; it shouid be corrected in the next issue I .We are authorised farther to state that out of the seven alleged bv the "Standard" to hare withdrawn, at the Falls of Nease, only three hare really done so, Messrs. Glenn, Low- ery and M. W. Daniel, and one of the three will support Mr Shepard 1 Yet this card goes to the public, on the ere of the election, as the truth I Can the annals of political warfare afford an instance, of more bare-faced fraud ? This is the manner in which most of the publications of withdrawals from the American Party are gotten np to deceive aad mislead the voters 1 Will candid and fair mindsd men justify such conduct? Shame shame! Let the American Party stand firm, and disregard suck base frauds and falsehoods as are resorted to to defeat then: FREEMEN, READ THIS ! We caII the attention of every Freeman in the State to the following Extract, end the shocking, insulting and infamous doctrine which it discloses, from the Allocution of Pope Pius IX., in the secret Consistory of September 1852, addressed to the Republio of New Grenada in South America, as published in the Catholic Mirror at Baltimore, November 27th, 1852. The Republio of New Grenada having passed a law, making marriage a civil contract, just as it is in the United States, the Pope used the following language on that subject: REMEMBER THAT 1 It wUl be well enough for the old line Dem ocrats of Warren, Wake, Nash, Granville, fcc , to remember, that the " Standard" of this city, which advocates so lustily the cause of foreign Romanism, and bespatters with its foul abuse, those whose only offence consists in their efforts to secure to Americans the sole government of their country, and that Mr. A. M.Lewis, who is tram poosing the county of Wake for Mr. Branch, are the parties who defeated Mr. Yen able, two years ago, and thereby frustrated the will and wishes of an overwhelming majority of the Democratic voters in the District I What signs of repentance have they exhibted, what tears of contrition have they shed, what apologies have they made? None, whatever. On the con trary, they have again taken the election into tJteir hands. The Jupiter Tonans of the "Stand ard " has again assumed the tripod, Lewis (A. M.) rants and fumes as of yore, and the foreign "Junto,'7 composed of big little men nnd little big men, are as busy as bees in swarming time. "It was proposed, according to the already condemned errors of the heretics, and against the doctrine, of the Catholic Church, that mar riage sheold be esteemed merely as a civil con tract, sad that, all matrimonial 'causes should be referred to the lay tribunals, and be judged by them, &c " Amongst- the faithful, marriage cannot be given without there being at one and the same time a sacrament, and, consequently, any union wluuevet of man and woman among Christians, made in virtue of what civil laws soever, is nothing else but a shameful and mis erable concubinage, bo often condemned by the Church." We make no comment none is needed. What head of a Protestant family, with a heart in him, but burns with indignation at the infernal j allegation that thi fakthir or his bosom is a PROSTITCTI AND THAT HIS -CHILDRIff ARK ILLS : . i ORUATI j And the same Republio of New G renada having also passsed other. laws of a liberal character, vis: for the abolishing of tithes that emi grants to that country might have the public exercise of their worship, whatever it was for the expulsion of the Jesuits, tc, after stating that these laws were passed, " without the least consulting the apostolic See,1' the Pope, Pius IX, proceeds to launch forth his anathema, as follows : 0 $ $ $ " We disapprove all those things which have been done by the rulers of that Republio, against religion, the Church, and her laws, pastors and ministers, and against the rights and authori ty of this chair of blessed Peter. We, raising, with apostolic liberty, our pastoral voice, in this your most illustrious assembly, do censure, oondemn, and declare cttsri.y null and void, all the aforesaid decrees which have, so much to the contempt of the ecclesiastical authority of this holy See, and the loss and detriment of religion, and of the holy prelates, been there enacted by the civil power." Flere we have the proof, practical, positive proof, that the Papal See does claim, and has exercised, a vast and most dangerous temporal authority. Have men hearts to feel, and will they not be aroused by such things T Have they ears to hear and eyes to see, and will they iail to per ceive the dangers which threaten them ? we insist that they do not forget to tell of Hayne, whose life was given for a country hi posterity has honored ; and of Dr. Warren, who was the honored messenger that bore the glad news from Bunker Hilt to Heaven, that native born citizens of America could stand the fire of foreigners.- And, whatever they do, they should mention amongst those worthies the matchless name of Washington 'first in peace, first in war, first in the hearts of his countrymen' and who lent the inflaence of a canonized character to the patriotic admonition, "to be ware of the insidious wiles of foreign influ ence ;" and around whose grave not only green corn has grown, butthe thick clunteringglorieB of a great confederacy the circle of whose influ ence is the ponderous earth, and under whose broad JEgis millrotiB of freemen repose peace and happiness ! THE "STANDARD" SHERIFF HIGH. The "Standard" of to day publishes aj card from Sheriff High, announcing his'withdrawal from the American Order. We have a word tnf two of comment, which, despite our regard for Mr. High personally, we are compelled to make. 1. The "Standard" says that when Mr. High connected himsslf with the order," it was very AN THE IRISHMAN'S VIEWS UPON AMERICAN QUESTION. ' The Frankfort (Ky.) Commonwealth says that an intelligent and learned Irishman, and a citizen of this country, has sent us the following appeal to his countrymen upon the great ques tion of the day.

THE AMERICAN PARTY IN OHIO. ; We commend to our brethren of the South most gratifying proof that the American party is braver and sounder upon the vital issues that affect the safety of the Union than any other. - It will be recollected that at a recent so-called "Republican" Convention held in Columbus, Ohio, composed of abolitionists, Whig free soilers and loeqfoco freeeoilers, Salmon P. Chass, the most notorious of the latter class, was nominated for Governor. " A large propor tion of the candidates for the other State offices were taken from the ranks of the American party, with the expectation, thereby, of invei gling that organisation into the support of the Columbus nominees. But, true to th princi ples of their order, the Ohio Americans cannot be led blind-folded into the disunion designs of the Abolitionists, by any hostility to the Nebras ka Bill or any other law of Congress. In vain has the net been spread. We publish, with pride, their indignant repudiation of the Co umbus fusionists : From the Cincinnati Times. American Mass Meeting Great Enthusiasm The Nomination of S. P. Chase Repudiated. Last evening witnessed the greatest gathering of the people that has taken place in this city lor many years. At an early hour, pursuant to call, the citizens began to flock from all parts of the city, towards the utn street market space. Kockets and other fire-works were set off at various intervals until about 8 o'clock, when the vast concourse (variously estimated at from ten to twelve thousand) was called to order by hd. r. Morton, Jfc-sq., who nominated W m. A Adams as president of the meeting. Jur. Adams, en taking the chair, stated in a few words the object of the meeting. It was, be said, to determine whether the citizens of this city, were willing to abide by the action of the Columbus Convention of July 13? It was an important question. A voice " it is that : we can t go Chase. The meeting then proceeded to the selection of other officers. "PROSCRIPTION." We hear daily the most shameless and im podent prating about Intolerance and proscrip tion among the leaders of the most intolerant party that ever existed in this country. So loud and terrible are they in their denuncia tioQB of intolerance so plaintive are their plead ings for religious liberty that, did we net know that it would not do to trust the cunning waters of their eyes, which they have. so. long traded in that they can make them seem like rivers of innocence, we could hardly realize that this is the same party that cheered so lustily their ora tors in the Scott and Pierce campaign, for their denunciations of Gen..

We are pleased to see such indications of the return of his accus tomed good-humor, on the part of our neighbor. It has been feared he was inconsolable on ac ount of the departure of Welsh I jQTThe "Standard" persists in the falsehood that there were only three hundred persons present at the recent Mass Meeting in Raleigh. That paper knows that this is untrue, but "a lie, well stuck to," if not as good as the truth, is often as satisfactory to the consciences of some men 1 "Shepard, and others, who follow politics as a trade, and who struggle more, for office and place than they do either in the cause of charity or benevolence," &c Standard. It is said that the "Standard" is the last quarter whence Mr. Shepard should be arraign ed far the want of liberality I BgUFrom Clinoman's District, from every qaarter. the news is most cheering. Mr. Car michakl has conducted the canvass ably and no bly, and stands every prospect of election. Clinqman is badly frightened, and hence bia late Card. The American party will entitle it self to the thanks and confidence of the people of the whole State, should it be the means of de feating the disunion traitor 1 delivered during the same campaign, and where in was portrayed, in such horrid colors, the aw ful danger of having a Roman Catholic spy in the White House, in the person ot the excellent MrsT Scott I' . , . ' Hard as it may be to believe, this is, neverthe less, the same party, grown more intolerant and more prosenptive. Indeed, so prescriptive have they become, that they will, even vote for the most vile and corrupt Jesuit in preference to a mem ber of the American party ; yea, they will vote for a man whose jwZtfico-religious head denounces religions freedom as a damnable heresy and Protestant marriage as concubinage I The prin eiple that peopled a continent and gave birth to a nation boundless in its domain, inexhausti ble in its resources, and so elevating in its in fluences upon the destinies of the human race, a damnable heresy I Yes these men, these miserable recreants and traitors, who are such especial friends of religious freedom, and the chastened guardians of American liberty, will even vote for a disciple of this creed in prefer ence to a member of the American party ! Can the people of this Congressional District sanction such a state of things as this. We answer for them NO I It is charged by these same leaders upon the American party, that they proscribe men on ac count of the accidents of birth. Call it what you will, they refuse to' vote for foreigners in pre ference to native Americans, and cannot see that they are as proscriptive as those who are wil ling to vote for a foreign Catholic in preference to a member of the American party. These men point to La Fayette, to Montgome ry, to Steuben, Pulaski and DeKalb, whose lives illustrate the patriotism of foreigners. All honor to their memory, say we, but we do insist that these leaders be not so proscriptive as to pro scribe from the rolls of glory the fifty thousand natives mertean, and ' to the manner born,' who poured out their blood.like water for the liberties we enjoy.' And whilst these Jacob's ladder candidates talk "so 'pathetically about " the corn growing so green over the grave o the great DeKalb," and' "the ice and snow that drank, tbebme Montgomery! bloodf &o preamble and resolutions. Whereas, The Democratic State Convention, ot the 8th of January last, and the recent Convention in Columbus, have failed to avow or recognise prin ciples which we believe vital to the welfare of the Republic and our State ; therefore. Resolved, That we continue to maintain as par amount in importance, and never to be ignored, the well-known principles' of the American party, among which is devotion to the Union, and unceas ing hostility to its enemies, be they the nullifiers of the South, or thflbolitionists of the North. A Voice " We don't play second fiddle to any party." Resolved, That while we consider the repeal of the Missouri Compromise as a wanton violation of a sacred and time-honered compact, we are not from resentment or any other impulse to be seduced, or driven, into the support of fanatical mm or measures. Resolved, That we recognise in the first resolu tion of the Convention of the 13th instant a sub tle and insidious aim at the integrity of the Na tional Government, tad the initiative 'o, legisla tion which will place the State of Ohio In antag onism to the Union. Resolved, That the avowal made in a resolution of the 18th inst., to labor assiduously not to secure the repeal of the Nebraska and Kansas bill, but to render it void' and inoperative, proclaims a mode of opposition to the laws of the land that can be sanctioned only by fanatics and outlaws. Resolved, That in the proceedings and resolu tions of the Convention of the 13th instant, and especially in the nomination of Hon. S. P. Chase for Governor, and the resolution to appoint a con- mittee to concert measures with reference to the Presidency, we discover a design to more effectu ally organixe an aggresssive, sectional party, with which it would be deelict in us, AS AMERICAN CITIZENS, to act or affiliate. Resolved, That we recommend to the friends of the American party in Ohio, opposed to the can didates for Governor now in nomination, to meet in Mass Convention at Columbus, on the 9th day of August. If he is, is b fit to be the Sheriff of Wake f Mr. H. will notfBO stultify himself ? -3. The "Standard says that he (Mr. H.) joift in ed' before the last elections, (nearly, twelve months ago,) and "that soon after be attended another meeting and became convinced that he had been deceived as to the purposes of the order, and so ' Informed bis' friends - who were in it, that il would not do and tJiat he should oppose ii V Now, we are informed by persona whoknow the facts, (we make all our statements" by tl thority.) thai Mr. High has taken all three of the degrees in Vie Order that he took the third degree but a few monthssince, thathe has repeatedly ex pressed himself satisfied with his position as a member of it, and that he has repeatedly ap proved its principles ! 'The object of the party leaders in parading-Mr. High's card before the public at this time is too apparent. It is intended to operate on the election in this county and District! It is another way of dictating to the people of Wake how they Bhall vote. It is an indirect, if not a direct, mode of using the office of Sheriff to control the election! How much longer will the freemen of Wake con sent to be dictated to, and ridden over, by that' Raleigh Junto, which for years past have act ed as if all the offices of the county belonged to them t Can any man outside of that clique dart aspire to office in this county, or district, without incurring their vindictive displeasure? Were the offices all of them, made for these men? 'Let the voters of the county scorn to wear the yoke which has been made for them by the M Raleigh Junto," made up of a set of men who have nothing to boast of but a crav ing for office, backed by a spirit of bullying and bravado, which should no longer be sub mitted to by those who call themselves free men I Rise up against it, men of Wake county. But Mr. High has been deceived, says the " Stan dard." WAo deceived him T Let him name thorn 1 Let him not hide himself behind generalities, but come out with the names of these men ! But it so happens that' Mr. H. is not the only person 1 l i ii i . a ma wno nas been -deceived. mere are many gentlemen, who have stood by him heretofore and sustained his election, who now proclaim that they have been deceived. If he wishes the reasons stated, he can have them, but they would kill him, in time to come, a little "dead er" than the " dead Democratic party" to which he looks for support! He remembers well how he has appealed to old Whigs in times past. Now, he is willing " to die with the Dem. ocratic Party !" and for the purpose of influ encing the coming election, the "Standard" converts his card into an edict, which puts un der the banns a large number of hia friends, with whom he has for twelve months acted, and for the purpose that Mr. Shepard may be put down and Mr. Branch put up ! Again we ask, are the people of Wake SLAVE Sf that they should be required to submit to the dic tation of the Raleigh Junto 1 'Are they to be permitted, again, as they did in the last Congressional election, to smother the voice of a majority- of the Democratic vote?

A heated poli tical canvass is now progressing in the Bun combe Congressional District between Messrs. T. L. Clingman and L. B. Carmicbael, Know Nothing. Incident to the contest, personal dif ficulties have arisen between W. L. Hilliard and J. D. Hyman of the Asheville Spectator. A challenge was passed and accepted, with rifles, at 40 yards, t nends and the law interposed, but, notwithstanding, the parties had left for the scene of deadly strife. Another duel was in contemplation and a challenge passed between Messrs. iSeard and Vance,. but was settled by mutual friends. We have some reason to hope that the other may also be thus amicably ad justed. S. v. Spartan. P. S. We learn that a hostile meeting has taken place between Messrs. Hilliard and Hy man, at some point over the Tennessee line, and that shots were exchanged, without damage to either of the parties. Further proceedings were then arrested. FOR THE REGISTER. Mr. Gales: Allow me to communicate to your paper the cheering indications of success which accompanied Mr. Shepard' s presence J in Old Nasb. I was inclined to believe, be fore Mr.' Shepard came to our county, that a few of the American party had become luke warm, but I am proud new to say, that they are revived, and we shall be able, not only to poll the full American strength, but many votes from the truest Democrats of the county, who say they cannot support Mr. Branch. Many, besides, I know to be silenced, who will not vote in the coming election. Two of these, staunch Democrats, who, I dare say, have more influ ence 'than any other two in the county, were expected by their party to go heart and hand for Mr. Branch. . We shall poll the smallest aggregate vote ever before given. Yours, bc. Hilliardston, July 23, 1855. O Henry W. Miller, Esq., addressed a large concourse of people at Chapel Hill, on Wednes day last, and at Hillsboro', on Thursday, at both places with fine effect. The most reliable information we receive is that the American party will carry Orange by some two hundred and fifty majority! Push on the column. FOR THE REGISTER. Mr. Editor: I shall vote for Mr. Shepard, because he is in favor of an equitable distribu tion of the public lands among all the States, in preference to giving them to free-soilers, abo litionists' and foreigners; because Mr. Branch advocates the absurd and ruinous doctrine that a State can authorise any foreigner to vote in her elections, after a residence ef one year only, within her limits, although the Constitution of the United States declares the naturalisation laws shall be uniform ; and because the Whig party has never received at the hands of the locoloco party any thing but vile abuse and un warranted denunciation !

This cannot be denied. We were even satisfied to remain an appendage to the British crown, if they only allowed us the privilege of being governed by native born officers. How then can we consis tently complain of the party now organising in this country, named the American party a Dartv whose only object is to' preserve intact . ... . i i i i . i , e ana inviolate tne ueany Dougns neir-iooma ui that crusade for freedom, tne most glorious tne sun of Heaven has ever looked upon since, that morning of creation, when the stars of Heaven sung together for joy ? A party which will forever remain tne only breakwater on eartn between liberty and oppression, perpetuating the blessings of existence to remotest time, and ultimately saving us from our worst enemy viz: ourselves. If we are to suffer any injus tice, it is merely of a negative character. Tbey do not propose to deprive us of anything, ex oept so far as the deprivation is founded on. the universal law of our nature namely, self-protection. They do not propose to deprive you of the proceeds of your honest toil; they do not aim to send forth those clerical locusts to dra goon you out of the tenth of your substance Generously and hospitably they invite you to partake of the fertility of their land, but tbey contend for non-interference on our part in the management of their domestic policy, ft is with the body politic as with the body physical! extremes are hurtful We cannot escape from the burning heats of the torrid zone, and plunge immediately into the frozen streams of the north ; we cannot, without danger, pitch iu the desert and revel in the first spring we meet ; neither can we with satety emerge from the dark and debasing thraldom of a hereditary bondage, into the noontide blaze of freedom, without a long and healthy training. Gratitude has been, at all times, characteristic of our race. The ingratitude of an Irishman is like Juvenal's bird, "rara avis in terris, ni groque simillima cygno." Then let us prove to the American people that their countless favors are not forgotten that we have determined toseperate from the politi cal parveDues who have meanly speculated on our impetuous feelings and religious fears, and now, when the crisis has come, and the true American spirit is culminating heavenward, are quitting us weakened, as . a party and despised as a people. There was a time when the word American sounded like the music of heaven in our lacerated hearts ; when the gene rous stream of American sympathy flowed warm and deep towards the perishing and oppressed children of green Erin. When her strong men were sinking by thousands into their coffialess graves, the arm of America was stretched across the wave, and nobly rescued the remnant from a lingering annihilation, and how have we re paid her? We have actually helped to carry out, by our conduct at the ballot-box, that solecism in free governments, that the minority shall govern. We have aided to ostracise from power and place the wisest and bravest men of this coun try, and substitute in their places a nondescript species of animals, who are now the laughing stock of the gartered fools of European cabinets. Even he, the patriot of humanity, the sage of Ashland, whose wisdom more than once check mated the wily cabiuet of our hereditary foe : whoso brilliant emanation awoke the slumber ing embers of expiring liberty in the wild pam pas of Sjuth America; whose undying eloquence, recited arouod the camp-fires of Greece and Po land, nerved the heart of Suliote and Sarmatian to da or die even he, ever glorious hi defeat, was pulled down from his high and well-men ted aspirations, through the instrumentality of street politicians and barbecue patriots. Why not, then, abandon this suicidal course, which will ultimately end in our discomfiture and dis grace ? Can we wish for a nobler, a holier ter mination, than was that of the founders of this heaven-favored republic ? What comforts in life were theirs ? A life of privation and toil. A grave in the battlefield, but with the proud con soiousnes8 that they were leaving to their sue oesors, "A hope, a name, They too would rather die than shame." But you may reply, our religion is threaten ed by this American party. I was almost of opinion that a man s religion was perfectly in dependent of external contingenees an invisi ble compact between the Creator and creature, ratified by an approving conscience ; and founded on the immutable promises of Heaven, it cannot be subverted by human agency. If it has survived the shocks of persecutions for eighteen centuries, no earthly power can now assnil it. Besides, the great majority of the American people are perfectly indifferent to the propa gation of any particular creed. If it be not connected with the State, they care not wheth er you reverence the Grand Lamma of Thib et, the Patriarch of Constantinople, or the Ro man Pontiff while the teachers of other denom inations (the sentinels on the watch-tower of Zion) are too busy in swearing at each other, or trying to seoure a place in Congress. Ere it is too lite, then, pause in your present injudi aious career. Amalgamate, unite, heart and oul, with the great national party before which other parties must of necessity succumb. All the elements of durability, extension and suc cess are united in it. . Its members are numer ofXBtational and intelligent A reading population has power among them; a writing population has power, a power cer tain in its effect and irresistible in its control, earrjiug with it either the principle of fer tility or the cause of devastation, like the lightning of Heaven adapted either to purify or destroy. Think not these sentiments are in tended to wound your feelings, as Irishmen. I have been, at the first epoch, of my American existence, swept along by the load and unmean ing cry of soulless Democracy, and though I FOR THE REGISTER. Mr. Gales: Attracted by the feeble rays of a few tallow candles, I entered the Court House on Tuesday night last, where the "Foreign and Catholic Club" of this place were listening at tentively to the remarks of Mr. A. M. Lewis, who was expatiating, or, rather, "spreading him self," upon the beauties of Democracy. Mr. L. was endeavoring to reply to the arguments ad vanced by 11. W. Miller, Esq., before the Mass Meeting of the American Party, held in this city, on the 19th inst. Yon oan judge, Mr. Ed itor, of the gentleman's success, when I assure you, that be attempted to refute an argument, made by Mr. Miller,' while he (Mr. Lewis) had gone home to dine. Mr. Lewis himself unwit tingly stated this fact. The American- Party. of course, came in for a full share of abase and misrepresentation. Mr. L. affirmed that this party "was born in the night, was reared and fostered in the night, and had matured in the night !" (Great applause.) That their secrecy bad given them a powerful advantage over the Democracy that they were the proscribers and persecutors of Catholics, fco. Waxing rather warm toward the conclusion, the gentleman styled many of the officers of the State Council "renegade Whigs," and spoke of them as having shouted lustily, in the glorious days of 18$0, "for Tippecanoe and Tyler too." Most unfor tunate, most ill-timed, was this allusion to the past ! Poor Holden 1 Why, Mr. Editor, I real ly felt sorry for him I- Will his party never for give him?

Even thv venerable President of the Club, M. A. Bledsoe, sqn writhed and winced under the excoriating lash of "the young man eloquent." In conclusion, Mr. Lewis call ed on' the Catholic and Foreign Party to rally around their colors, and appealed to his friend, Mr. James T. Marriott, of Wake, for aid, much in the manner of despairing Cessar, when he cried, "Help me, Cassius, or 1 sink." Feebly and more faintly shone the light of the sparsely scattered two cent dips, when the Presid't arose, blushing and stammering, to respond to the flattering, though feeble, call, which had been made upon him. So overwhelmed was be by the digeity of his position and by the encourag ing sound of af few hickory sticks, that I wait ed, thinking every moment that he would ex claim, "You'd scarce expect one of my age," 4c. Becoming more composed, the President began by saying that his remarks were intended espe cially for the Hon. B.P. Rayner, of "tcAicft" all present had heard so much that Mr. Rayner " had hooted and scoffed at him had held him up as a renegade Whig," etc. Mr. B. charged Mr. Rayner with " panderine to the nreiudicea of the Abolition Party at the North with being the friend and ally of Wilson, of Massachusetts, and with persecuting Catholics and foreigners.'' To sustain these charges, (or rather the two first,) Mr. Bledsoe then read the speech of Mr. somebody, of some State or other, as hinted in such and such a newspaper. He then charged the " Know Nothing party" (" He knew them by no other name") " with being the Catholic party of the country, and with promoting and advocating their peculiar religious tenets." After having "peeled the big potatoe," at least to Aw own satisfaction, and having illustrated the aspirations of Mr. Rayner for the Presidency by a very charming snake story, Mr. B. conclu ded by saying that " it was high time for all honest men to be at home." I took the hint. Let me here state, Mr. Editor, lest I forest it. that our worthy friend, the Scotchman, was em phatically " done up Brown." Now is it not passing strange that these worshippers of strange gods these sympathizing, disinterested triends ot Hog-1 rotters, Uerman Jews, and every other species of foreign animal, should have poured forth the "vials of their wrath" upon the head of this harmless and unoffending man? Oh, consistency! thou art indeed a jew el! II. W. Miller was again demolished while wrapped in peaceful slumber. Mr. Rayner, however, being two hundred miles away, a cannon, a rine, a shot-pistol, even, could not have hurt him how much less the Irish-volatoe slug of a ooM-quill pop-gun. With Mr. B.'s speech, Billingsgate ceased for the night. The flood-gates of vituperation and abuse were closed for a while, and I walked home, resolv ing no more to visit this secret conclave of tm maculate patriots, for, I assure you, in conclu sion, that it is no place for A SON OF THE SIRES.
