THE "KNOW NOTHINGS."
A secret organization, as is Well known
to many, 4ias lately sprung op, and his
Mill more lately exerted an all powerful in
fluence In some of the Northern cities.
This organization is terrhedby out siders
the 'Know Nothing Society.' By some
u is condemned, by many approved, and
all of ;he uninitiated are anxious to know
hai are its objects ; and from the way in
which their influence is directed, and from
the leakings out of their principles, the
public are led to infer that their main ob
ject is the counteracting of the foreign and
Catholic influence. The questiou may
nr;se in some minds, what use is there in
all this agitation ; the foreigners and Cath
olics have not enough influence to do any
hurt.' To answer this question we will
stale a few facts : In 1852, 234,435 male
fbreigners arrived in this country, of whom
16fJ.033,were oyer 20 , years ofage, and
85 715 offfiem Irish, the emigrants from
which country are supposed to be about
nineteenth-twentieths Catholics. The to
tal number of male foreigners,, in the Uni
ted States is 1,239.134; and supposing, as
was the case in 1852, that nearly if not
quite two-third3 were over 20 years of age,
we find that number to be 826,237. We
will then take off 226,287 as the number
incompetent to vote by being under age,
and by not having been naturalized, leav
ing 700,000 as the foreign vote of this coun
try sufficient in all conscience V elect the
party who most favored theViews of the
priests, to whom, by fffr the greater part of
the foreigners are subservient.
Such, then, being the numerical force of
the foreign Catholics, is it to be doubted
that they hold the balance of power ? In
fact, in the last Presidential election, we
find both the two great political parties en
deavoring to make out that each of their
candidates was more in favor of Catholi
cism and foreigners than the other. And
the defeat of the unsuccessful candidate is
lo be attributed not a little to an expression
which he is said to have used in relation to
foreigners voting. It is also stated that a
certain'Cabinet officer was promised the
place he now occupies on condition that he
would carry the Catholic vote of his State
for the present occupant of the Presiden
tial Chair. Until the past few months we
have seen at every election which has oc
curred in any of the Northern or Western
States the complete triumph of him who j
most favors Catholic views, lhis disposi
tion to favor foreigners extends itself to ev
ery branch of our government. In the dis
position of the spoils good care is taken
that no offence may be given to the foreign
er Catholic party brethren ; and in doing
this, incompetent foreigners are often put
in places- trust, when persons fully com
petent might have been chosen from the na
tive applicants. Instances of such appoint
ments we have not far from us.
The dignity of a United States Senator
has been laid aside for the purpose of ob
taining Catholic favor and a nefarious
clause inserted in a late territorial bill with
which to catch the votes and favor of for
eigners. And last of all we have the most
fol and corrupt scheme of all a plan to
attract more foreigners to our country for
the pretended purpose of giving them a free
home in a free land ; but the real object is
to obtain a sufficient number of voters in
the country, who will look upon the origi
nators of this measure as demi-gods of lib
erty and republicanism, so that some un-1
principled demagogue may, byn advoca
cy of this scheme, triumph over purer men
and purer motives.
It must be evident to every reasoning
mind, that the Catholic influence is every
day gaining ground ; that it must, if not
stopped, in its snake like and rapid career,
60on gain the preponderance in our coun
try. Supposing such to be the result, ere
long, what may we, the Protestants, expect
from them 1 We make a few extracts from
several of their leading journals on this and
other points, to show whatlhey now avow
while in the minority :
' 1 say with Brownson, that if the Church
should declare that the Constitution and very
existence of this or any other country should
be extinguished, it is a" solemn ordinance of
God, and every good Catholic would be bound,
under penalty of the terrible punishment
pronounced against the disobedient, to obey
1 Aposlolkus,' in the Bilio. Clipper. 1853.
1 Religious Liberty, in the sense of a lib
erty possessed by a man to choose his reli
gion, is one of the most wretched delusion'
ever foisted upon this age by the father of
all deceit.' The Rambler, 1853.
The Church is of necessity intolerant.
Heresy she endures when and where she
must: but she hates it, and directs all her
energies to its destruction. If Catholics
ever gain an immense numerical majority
rel igious freedom in this country is at an
end Shepherd of the Valley, 1S51.
' Equality is an idle dream, an empty
word fit only to be inscribed on the blood
red banner of the Atheistical Revolution
ist. ' It is one of the saddest ns well ns one
of the silliest mistakes of our age, that the
few may be snfely overlooked, and for all
that i3 great and good and wise and just in
the action of the State cr of Society, reli
ance must be placed on the many, the
masses so called.' Brptcnson's Oration at
Ml. St. Mary's, 853.
'The sorriest gbv to us is a Catholic
throwing up his cap and shouting.' All
hail Democracy.'
Brownson1 s Rev., Oct. 1852.
'We are not the friends of popular edu
cation as at present understood. We do
not believe that the masses, as our modern
reformers insultingly call the laboring class,
are one whit more happy, more respectabk, or
better informed for knowing how to read
In view of these and other facts, we

- Volume of extract like the above might
tie made, bat as we have already taken up
too m&ch space with them, these must suf
fice. Comment upon them is unnecessary;
every reflecting person will see the deep
laid schemes which lack of caution and
too much self confidence have revealed too
soon for their benefit, but never too soon
for the good of the country. Our neigh
horsof the North have the evil more im
mediately amongst them therefore, they,
feeling most its baneful influence, first orig
inated a society or parly to counteract it.
The charge that it is an abolition move
ment is futile, and more so when we reflect
that it now exists in and is rapidly spread
ing over the iouth. We are well assured
that its main principle is founded on the
words of our greatest statesman the re
vered Washington who, in his farewell
address, sn3's :
'Against the insidious wiles of foreign
influence, I conjure you to believe me, fel
low citizens, the jealousy of a free people
ought to be constantly awake, since histo
ry and experience prove that foreign influ
ence is one of the most baneful foes of re
publican governments."
We have endeavored to give a brief
sketch of the object of and the necessity
for such an organization as this. If the
reader would know more, join them ; their
object is good, and every true American
should give the cause a helping word, and
every American must, feel a sympathetic
throb for their success. Here all distinc
tions"'! party cease; it is for our whole
country, our Constitution and our free in
stitutions, we are to contend. We know
they have carried elections in favor of the
minor of the two great parties, but it is be
cause the" prominent men on that side are
more inclined to the views of this society
than those of the dominant party. Again
we say. join. It is a cause in which your
own peace and happiness are concerned,
your freedom, ny. j-ourvery lives. ' You of
the South may think there is no danger,
but we ask j'ou why will 3'ou wait ? Your
liberties declared to be 'wretched delusions,'
to be 1 extinguished' by the beck and nod
of a corrupt man, and you, the people, de
clared to be unfit tor any good and not to
be trusted with learning or books ! Must
tiiejnint's foot press your necks before
you move? AVhy will you look on in si
lence while the jesuit twines his slippery
coils around you ? Think of past ages, of
what Catholicism has been, of what she
will be, if you permit her ; think of St. Bar

H.
Luther Martin's Secret of Success.
Every lawj'er of any note has heard and
read of the celebrated Luther Martin, of
Maryland. His great efforts in the case of
Aaron Burr, as well as his displays in 'he
Senate of the United Slates, will not be
forgotten. Trffles in the history arc im
portant, as we hope to show in the story.
Mr. Martin was on his way to Annapo
lis, Md , to attend to the Supreme Court of
the State. .V solitary passenger was in
the singe coach with him, and as ihe weath
er was extremely cold, the passengers soon
resorted to conversation to divert themselves
from loo much sensibility to the inclement
air. The young man knew Mr. Martin by
sight, and, as he also was a lawyer, the
talk began to spin itself out of legal mat
ters. 'Mr. Merlin,' said the young man, 'I am
just en tering on my career as a lawyer;
can you tell rne the secret of your great
success ? If. sir, you will give me from
3'our experience, the key to distinction at
the bar, I will'
' Will what?' asked Mr. Mariin.
' Why, sir, I will pay your expenses
while you are at Annapolis,' replied the
young disciple.
' Done,' responded Mr. Martin. 'Stand
to your bargain now, and I will furnish
you the great secret of success as a law
yer.' The young mnn asssented.
' Very well,' said Martin. 'The whole
reason of my success is contained in one
little maxim, which I early laid down to
guide me. If you follow it, you cannot
fail to succeed, his this : 'always be sure
of your evidence.'
The listener was very attentive smiled
threw himself back in a philosophical
posture, and gave his brains to the analy
sis in true lawyer patience, of 'Always be
sure of your evidence.'
The young man watched Mr. Martin.
Wherever eating and drinking were con
cerned, he was indeed a man to be watch
ed; especially in the latter, as he was im
moderately fond of the after-dinner, af'.er
supper, after-anything, luxury of wine. A
few days were sufficient to show the inci
pient legalist that he would have to pay
dearly for his knowledge, as Martin seem
ed resolved to make the most of his part of
the contract. Lawyers, whether young
or old, have legal right3, so the young man
began to think of the study of self-protection.
It certainly was a solemn duty. It
ran through all creation. Common to an
imals and men, it was a noble instinct, not
to be disobeyed, particularly where the ho
tel bills of a lawyer were concerned. The
subject daily grew on the young man. It
was all absorbing to mind and pocket.
A week elapsed, and Mr. Martin was rea
dy to return to Baltimore. So was the
young man, hut not in the same stage with
his illustrious teacher.
Mr. Martin approached the counter in the
bar room. The young man was an anx
ious spectator near him.
'Mr. Clerk' said Martin, 'my young
(nend, , will settle my bill, agreeably
to aereement.'
The young man said nothing, but looked
every thing.
' He will attend to it, Clerk, as we have
already had a definite understanding on the
subject. He is pledged, professionally,
pledged, to pay my bill,' hurriedly repeated
Martin.
' Where's your evidence V meekly asked
the young man.
' Evidence !' sneered Mr. Martin.
' Yes sir,' said the younr. man, as he 1
complacently responded, Always be sure,
mi. Martin, ol vour evidence. Can vou
prove the bargain V
Mr. Martin saw the snare, and pulling-
out his pocket book, naid th hill nH
with great good humor, assured the youn-
man 1 Ynn ht 1 1 1 An '. - i . p

This grand and important Remedy has restored

hopes, and been abandoned to die. By its complete
inviiroration of the Nervous System, the whole

beauty , onsistency, and duration, upon the ruins of
an emaciated and premature decline to sound and

those terrific maladies which result from indiscre

ANOTHER GREYTOWN EPIC.
" C. S.," of Brooklyn, sends us another epic,
commemoratory of. the recent resplendent achier
vent at Greytown, by Capt HoIIins:
THE BURNING OF SAN JUAN. ,
Good people all, both great and small,
Attend unto my ditty !
'Tis of the fate of 8an Juan ! -That
famous little city. -
They gave an insult to our flag,
For which we bade them stand f
And burnt out all the little folks,
From out that little Land.
We sent brave Hollins out tvith speed
To cruise upon that station !
Who burnt that little City up,
For our great Yankee Nation.
When Cuba, with defiant brow,
So boldly seized our ship.
We slided down into our Boots,
But gave San Juan fits.
Let Pierce and Marcy wear the palm,'
So well becomes their Station !
Their great exploits will bear the test,
Of this great Yankee Nation.
MISCELLANY.
ANECDOTE OF ACTORS. -An
anecdote is told of Dumesnil con
nected with her performance of Cleopa
tra in Marmontel's tragedy of the same
name, which came out in 1750, and was
ever one of her favorite representations.
When preparing for death, in a frenzy
of passion, she exclaims ' I should
ctnse the gods, if they restored me batfk
to life.' An old officer, seated immedi
ately behind, in oneot the balcony box
es was so carried away with the reality
of the scene, that he struck her violent
ly on the back, exclaiming, with great
vehemence Infernal, cat, go to the
devil at once!' This act of extra va-,
gance interrupted tr-e performance, and
for the moment utterly confounded the
actress ; who, neverlhelfss, at the end
of the play, thanked the enthusiastic -auditor
for paying her the highest com
pliment which the powerful fidelity of
her impersonation could . have called '
forth. It was so with Sandford, 'who
considered himself unsuccessful in a
villain unless strong disapprobation
showered upon him ; and it has" also
been said of Cooke that he looked upon
hisses as the surest evidence of his ex
cellence as Stukely or lago. "
A French audience is much more apt
to be subdued by the intensity of an ac
tor, than an English one. In proof of
this, innumerable examples might be
quoted. On another occasion, when
Dumesnil, as Merope, was proceeding to
order the death of Egistc not knowing
who he was, a voice from the pit, al
most inarticulate with sobs, cried out
4 Don't kill him ; he is your own son V
During a performance of ' Britanicus,' a
grenadier posted on thexstage; after the
custom of the time, and so intent on the
action of the play, and so indignant at
the treachery of Narcissus, that he pre
sented his musket at the actor and would
have shot him dead, had he not beera
prevented. Preville was once going on
as Larissole in the Mercure Galant,"
when the sentry placed in the wing, ta
king him actually for a drunken soldier,,
stopped him, and exclaimed for heav
en's sake, comrade, don't appear in that
state, or I shall be sent to the black
hole !' - -
A SMART BOY.
Dr. Wajland of Brown's University, hadf
a boy, about six yean old who was any
thing but a fool. The doctor- placed him
under the care of one of the students, with
the charge that he should not go out, with
out permission from his teacher.
'May I go out ' at Ienght i inquired our
hero. -" ; TY'-f,- "r'-: - "
'No, was the laconic reply.'
A few minutes' paused followed.
May I go out V again inquired the boy.
No P was' again the response. ; ,V-"V'
The miniature edition of the doctor's
slowly rose from his seat, toek up his csp,
and passed for the door.
Stop,' said the tutor; 'do you know what
'no' means?' t:- .
Yes,1 said Charley: It is a particle of
negation, and two of them coining togeth
er are equivalent to an affirmative. -
His wit was his passport.
