Of the w,rk accomplished by the Con

The Thin -third Congress found peace
and cordiality existing between previously
contending sections. It immediately ad
dreKS d iiS'-lf to the task of . destroying
compromises and compacts on which this
peace n J g.xid will rested, and to stirring
up strife, hilieJ and contempt between di
visions of the people previously pledged to
tolerate those differences of institutions and
customs which, distinguished their sections.
It succeeded so weii us to bequeath to its
successors dissensions which there is scarce

cursed above all its predecessors by ambi

Bihop Lefevre of Detroit got awfully
snubbed by the government of Detroit late

lots with the city. In their report the
committee of the council state that the bish
op has become possessed of a large amount
of land which of right belongs to bis flock;
"that he is moreover an emissary of a for

companion for dragons and devils, and he is
recommended to take bis body back from
whence it came, and there let it remain
and enrich the soil it has impoverished."

Noblesville, Indiana, is at last free of the
curse of liquor selling. Recently a man
got beastly drunk there and froze to death.
His corpse was taken to a temperance meet

liquor in town. About 500 were raised,
the liquors bought, the deuh-rs binding
themselves not to sell !iqur in the tiwn
again, and an alcoholic I.enCic was made in
the street, the whole town, men, women,
and children, turning out to witness the
holocaust of society's arch-fiend.

Rcmohed Imperial Divorce. An "oc

nothing more or less than that Empress

Meanness!
During tho pest few days, certain busy
bodies, who had better by far bo engaged
in some honorable business, have been cir
culating all sorts of slanderous stories about
us personally, nnd about our paper. Tbey
have been trying to pursuado persona to
withdraw their patronage from the Journal,
Loping thereby to break it down. They
havo gone to our subscribers and tried to
prevail on them to stop their paper. Now
a e know what we are talking about and can
prove the facti, nnd if we hear of any more
of their operations they will be dealt with
in a manner, that they littlo anticipate, nnd
the community shall all know what influen
ces are made use of and the names of the
men engaged in it. Wc have lost three
subscribers by them already. What are
our friends doing for us, to enable the
Juurnul to continue the exponent of right
principles in Fremont? Send ia the names
accompanied by 1,50.
We have always been aware tint the Con
slituiion of thu United States requires thai none
but ualive born citizen can hold theolGcsof
Preaidrut. Jiut this is the only excrpiiou, that
we know of, to tile equal participation of natu
ralized citizens in American privileges, recog
nized by the National Constitution. The Jour
nal rxpnonda the Constitution badly when it
says that tho states may "forever prohibit for
eigners from voting." No such power is given
to tha States. -Democrat.
The above is the worst interpretation of
the Constitution we have ever seen. Con
gress alone possesses the right to make
naturalization laws, and they may require
a residence of forty, or any other terra of
years; or they may refuse to pass any laws
upon the subject, and then all foreigners
would remain foreigners during life. We
construe the Constitution rightly when we
say that each and every Sl.ito in the Union
can forever prohibit foreigners from voting.
That power is given to each State, not by
the Constitution of the United States, for
the States never delegated that right to the
general, government, but is a part of their
reserved sovereign rights. Each State
makes its own laws uKn the subject, and
in a number of them even native born citi
zens cannot vote, because they have not
the requisite property qualifications. In
Ohio, every white male citizen oflheageof
twenty-one years is a voter ; in New York,
tiegroe have the right of voting, and in the
Carolinas, none but such as bare the requir
ed amount of property, can vote or hold of
fice. The right to the elective franchise
does not depend npon ' being naturalized,
but upon the organic laws of the State, in
which the naturalized citizen may happen
to reside. A naturalized citizen may vote
in Ohio, but if he removes into Indiana, he
may forever be debarred that privilege, if
the Constitution of that State, prohibits him
from voting.
Not only this, but each Stale may make
a law to prohibit any man being elected a
member 'f Congress, unles he is native
born, that power being granted to the
States, by the national Constitution. And
in New Hampshire, our neighbor's patern
Democratic State, Catholics cannot hold of
fice. This is the only Know Nothing law
we know of, and tLis in the most intensely
Democratic State in the Union; a Slate
that has never wavered in its attachments to
all the destructive principles of the modern
destroyers. Neighbor if you have never
learned that each State can forever prohib
it all foreigners favim vo'ing, you had better
commence the study of the nature of our
government, and the respective rights of
the Stales in the shortest possible time, and
not attempt to instruct others in matters, of
which you are entirely ignorant.
5r"Ballville" has passed over the ques
tions we put to him and as we expected he
would do, has given n negative answer to
each of them, notwithstanding which they
hit him in a sore place as his fluttering evin
ces. To satisfy bis mind on the questions
of his, we answer thnt we never, to our
knowledge had a nomination for Clerk, and
the remaining ten we never heard of before
reading them in the Democrat.
o
jC3T For the last few weeks the editor of
the Democrat, has seen nothing but Know
Nothings, hears nothing but Know Noth
ings, dreams of nothing but Know Noth
ings. There is a Know Nothing in his bed,
a Know Nothing in his boots, nnd the ghost
of a Know Nothing haunts him as he grinds
out his Know Nothing grists. The Sag
Nichta had better appoint a body-guard for
him. He will, Morgan like, come up mis
sing some of these days we fear, and then
the Know Nothing Lodges will be search
ed for his remains.

ness. The Sag Nichts are in operation in

The Sag Nichts.
It is perhaps not generally known in this
community how, when and where this So
ciety was organised, and weproposa to give
something of its history. At the late Loco
foco Eighth of January Convention in Co
lumbu?, a caucus meeting of the leading
members was held, at which was brought
up for discussion the best policy to be pur
sued in opposing tho - Know Nothings
Sawyer and Leadbetter fought gallantly for
the old land marks and usages of the party,
and advocated an open and free fight.
Gen. Wilson, of Seneca, Dimmock, of Erie,
nnd McLean, of Hamilton, were in favor of
fighting the Know Nothings with their own
weapons. They said "they went in . fur
fighting the devil with fire." Dimmock
said that the Locofocos" had already organ
ized several secret societies in his county,
upon the same principle as the Know Noth
ings, except that they invited all foreigners
to become members. After a long and
stormy discussion, the question was taken
and carried, "that it be recommended to the
Democratio party throughout the State to
form secret political societies in every ward
of a city, and in every township in a coun
ty, which all foreigners shall be especially
invited to join; but from which all Know
Nothings, known to be such, shall be care
fully excluded for the purpose of putting
down the Know Nothings, and for the gen
eral good of the Democratic party."" These
are not the exact words, but the substance
of the resolution.
Wilson, Dimmock and McLean were se
lected by a committee to carry out the res
olution, and they have been just as busy
and faithful to the fulfillment of the project
as they know Low. Two of the party lead
ers from this county were there present,
nnd since their return they too have been
very zealously affected with a desire to have
their party reorganized with the SagNichi
attachment. In some of the counties they
are called, as in this, Sag Nichts, in others
Know Somethings, while others are called
Say Nothings.
Mors American Citizens. On Tues
day last the New Hampshire election came
off, and the canvass was tho most excited
one ever known in that State. The efforts
of the foreigners to carry it was unprece
dented in the annals of politics. A few
days before the election ttvenly-lwo Irish
men were naturalized in the town of Exter
alone, every one of whom would vote for
slavery extension, and directly against the
interests of American citizens. As General
Jackson said, is it not time we should be
come a little more AMERICANIZED ?
It is by the admission of such men to citizen
ship that our liberties will finally be subvert
ed and made subject to the dominion of a
pretended religious despot.
Fremont and Indiana R.
The.Findlay Courier says: "We are
advised by one of the operators on the Fre
mont and Indiana Railroad, that the iron
will be put upon the track and the road
put in running order as far as this place
early next fall, and probably to Lima and
St- Marys. It is confidently expected to
get the road in running order to Lima, at
least, during the fall. This should encour
age the fiends of this road to take courage
and hope for its speedy completion. It will
bo an important event to the people of this
county to have the facilities given them
which this road will afford."
Who Were They!
We understand that the citizens of Clyde
were honored on Wednesday evening of
last week, with the presence of a brace of
legal gentlemen, one of them from this place,
the other fiom Townsend township, fur the
purpose of forming a Sag Nicht lodge in
that town. They found that such ideas
would not take root there, good Republican
seed Laving been sown long before, they
therefore departed by rail, considerably
crest fallen. These worthies think if they
can only push the Sag Nicht association
through right, and can get role enovgh,
one of them will be Senator of this district,
and the other Representative of (Lis coun
ty, to the next Legislature. They'll find

Communications.
g The article given below comes to us
from a man who now doet, and alwoyt hat
stood high in the estimation, of; the Demo
cratic leaders nnd their whole party in this
county. We had, on first reading, "some
hesitation about giving it an. insertion, but
upon a personal consultation with him, have
felt that it was our duty to let him express
his sentiments; Rnd we are firmly convinc
ed that no party drill which the Sag Nichts
in this county can institute will ever, have
the effect to change Lis mind from the
views he has expressed to us. : r
Ia his conversation with us lie said,
"These many years Lave I labored fir the
Democratic party and the ascendency of
their ' principles; labored night and day,
with my bands, my speech, my pen and my
money and that too, when ihe present
leaders of the party in this county were
feediug ou milk, and they are not yet strong
enough to eat meat, mere babes. -: I have
lived to see the power and influence of for
eigners increase by twelve times its strength
-whilo the American vote Las only about
trippled and if it continues to increase at
this fearful rate, the generation to come
will be overwhelmed and submerged by
Jesuitical Catholocism. . It seems to me
that the American people are blinded to
their beet and dearest rights and interests,
or they would rise in their might and hurl
them from powei in every instance, and
never suffer a foreign-born man to exercise
the elective franch'ue. Neither their chil
dren unless born on American soil. But
the day has come, and I bless God thatl
am permitted to see it, when Americanism
is being discussed, and that freely."
In reference to the course of the Demo
crat, he said, "I am glad to see it breath
ing out thrcatnings and slaughter against
the Know Nothings, it is doing first rate
American work, and I hope nnd pray that
Flauoheh will be as bitter as he knows
how, and call to Lis aid all such men as
Ballville.. It is this course, which 'more
than anything else, that bas led me to avow
myself a native American in sentiment as
well as birth, and I shall very much regret
it when he stops his abuse of the Know
Nothings. Ten columns a week is not
enough, Le should leave out his advertise
meats and devote it entirely to the great
subject."
Much else this old Democrat said to us,
which we have not space to note down.
It is our opinion that he knows something
about the Know Nothings, but on this point
we could learn nothing from him. If a so
ciety should be started here we are induced
to think there would be some to enter its
doors, the anathemas of the Democrat to
the contrary notwithstanding. Read what
he says:
For the Journal.
The Pope and the Sag Nichts.
Foreigners Organizing—Dangers of our
Country—Sixteen Thousand Agents of
the General Government in the Field—
The Editor of the Democrat, his Abuse
of Good Citizens.
Mr. Editor: Has it not long been ap
parent to the thinking, that the Pope and
his cmi-saries, were busily at work to sub
ject our country to the control of the priest
hood and the Jesuits, and to subvert our
republican institutions to the tyrannical and
iron rule of Rome ? For this purpose the
Pope has been sending in Lis tools by the
thousands, who are laboring incessantly,
day and night, to overcome our native born
citizens at the polls, and oppose by all the
means in their power, our laws and our in
s itutions. They are organized in every
State in the Union, into secret societies.
They receive their instructions from the
Bishops, and they directly from their head
the Pope. They are bitterly opposed to
our institutions and laws, and are makin"
a war upon them for the purpose of sub
verting the government Look at our com
mon schools! To destroy these is one of
their prime objects, and they are waging
a relertlt-ss war upon them. They de
mand, as a matter of right, that a portion
of the taxes levied for educational purposes
shall be paid over to them, fur the purpose
of educating their children in the Jiomixh
faith; and as this has not yet been granted
they are denouncing us with all the appro
brious epithets to be found in their vocabu
Inry. What American citizen will not ar
ray himself against this impudent claim of
the foreigners?
At the polls these emissaries appear by
the hundreds,' and the lives of our native
born citizens are jeopardized if they at
tempt to exercise the privileges of Amrri
can citiz-ns. If they dare vote, it is at the
isk of their lives, for these foreign Catho
lics, block the windows, armed and equip
ped, to knock down those who will not
stoop to the Pope. Hundreds of murders
have been committed by these vassals of
his holiness, upon innocent citizens, because
they dared to vote. How long, oh ! Low
long, citizens of Sandusky county, will it be
until you see the dangers to which you are
exposed ? These men are in your midst,
they visit your dwellings, they watch your
every movement, and report to their Pas
tor. Some of them Lave r'Ceut'y said,
that they hoped "the day was not lar dis
tant when they could wade in Protestant
Hood to their knees!" Such is the spirit
of tho men who are denouncing us as
Know Nothings. Citizens of Sandusky
county, the trial must come, and is even
now at the door. They demand that toe
Bible, the open Protestant Bible, shall be
taken out of our children's Lands, and ex
eluded from the common schools. The
Book of Books shall be closed, and we shall
be governed by the behests of the Pope of:
Rome. Shall if be done? AVilPwesub
mit to the demands of Rome, or will we
join the noble band of Americans, whose
principles are American, and whose object
and aim is to save our country from their
foreign domineering demands? Of what
soever political party we may be, when for
eigners band together, to subject us to the
despotic will of Rome, it is our duty, as
Americans, to join societies organized to
save us from so deplorable a catastrophe.
All political feelings should be thrown aside,
by all men, and unions formed to save us
and our children from these foreign ene
mies, and their. American allies, f '
Mitchell, one of the Pope's agents, and
a favorito of the Sandusky County Demo
crat, Las advised the foreigners to organise
and arm themselves, and be ready torarter-
minuie the native born citizens; and Roedel
of New York City, another of the Pope'a
agents, in a recent speech, in that city, told
his countrymen that tbe foreigners had two
hundred thousand stand of arms in llteir
possession, ready to be used to shoot down
the native citizens, whenever they refused to
submit to their demands These, fellow
citizens, are the kind of men that the editor
of the Democrat is continually giving aid
and counsel to, through his paper; while
all Americans, indiscriminately, young and
old, who have joined the Know Nothings
to save their country from the ruthless
hands of this foreign enemy, are denounced
as traitors to their country and their God
as Anti-Republicans, scoundrels and vag
abonds, deserving the execration of man
kind. No matter what their services in
their country's cause may have been, this
friend and apologist of foreigners and Cath
olics, abuses them with all tbe dirty filth
and slime he can command, either by him
self, or with the aid of his venal crew ol
correspondents, some of whom would not
be admitted on the premises of a man who
had any regard for the welfare or purity of
bis family.
To enable the Pope and Lis foreign al
lies to better carry out Lis plans of destroy
ing our Republican institutions, be has,
through his emissaries, established secret
societies called Sag Nichts, the members
of which are bound together by the most
unholy oaths, to yield the most implicit obe
dience to the orders and behests of the
head of this company, and never vote for
any man unless he belongs to and is a mem
ber of the order I And to this Anti-American
conspiracy, I believe the editor of Uie
Democrat belongs, and Las sworn to obey
its commands! For this reason every pa
per he prints is filled with abuse of the best
citizens of Sandusky county. His influence
is with the enemies of our country, and bis
paper is devoted to building up foreigners.
Should we of the Democratic party who
do not choose to join foreigners, support a
man who is weekly fulminating his abuse
against us"
In this crusade of foreigners and the
Pope against our country, the sixteen thous
and Postmasters of the United States have"
been enlisted. Tbe Postmaster General,
ho appoints them, is a Catholic and a Jes
uit, and belongs to these secret socieliesf
and his subordinate Postmasters in every
town, village and hamlet, are busy organ
izing these societies arid swearing in mem
bers. In tliis town, a large majority of the
members are foreigners a few office-seekers,
demagogues and slavery extentionisls
having joined them, expecting thereby to
be elevated to office and power. These
Postmasters are but doing the dirty work
of tbeir Catholic superior; and with such
inQuenci s as this array of office-holders ean
use, it is the duty of all native born citizens
to join a society that will crush oul this
pojsjerful array of office-holders and catho
lics, who have combined to destroy our con
slituiion and Government. Give them the
power, and the Inquisition will be instituted,
and citizens will be brought to the stake
and burned, as were Latimer, Rogers and
others. The Bible will be destroyed, and
men, women and children will be put to
prison, in chains, irons and dungeons, for
reading it, just as they now are in Tuscany
and other Catholic countries.
Fellow citizens of Candusky county !
The Know Nothings have organized to
save our country from this powerful array.
They make no distinction as to parties, but
all that have the requisite qual ficattons can
be admitted. In al! elections, no candidate
is csked to what party he belonged, so that
ho is a fit man. A Freesoiler, Democrat
or Whig, no matter, all are welcome, and
all eligible to office. Are you in favor of
"Americans ruling America," is the chief
plank in their platform, and to this all can
subscribe. Why should foreigners be our
office-holders? Why should they make
our laws and control our institutions? Let
the citizens of Sandusky county think over
these matters and decide whether tbey
will be ruled by our own citizens, or by
AN AMERICAN.

Friend Keelkr: I have no doubt that
you, with many friends of the Tempersnce
cause will be glad to learn, that the old and
arch enemy, "Alcohol" with all its concom
itant evils, is slowly but surely, retreating
before the steady, determined zeal of the
temperance part of community.
The "Allied Army" of Temperance men
and women, "Truth," "Love," and "Fideli
ty," must eventually carry by storm their
last strong hold the citadel of Rumdom.

Lock your Hen Roosts!
Ma. In the last 'Democrat,"
the editor bas permitted a correspondent
signing himself " Uncomatibus," to make
sundry charges against me, to which I plead
not guilty, and demand the proof. I am
charged with having made "two or three
speeches" in a Know Nothing lodge, and
also, with being the " " correspondent of
the Journal All these charges, I pro
nounce premeditated, wilful, and malicious
falsehoods, made by a thing, who lives on
the carrion, that other men in Lis business
reject, as too offensive for any. man pretend
ing to any decency, to have anything to do
with. I would advise all citizens to keep
their Hen Roosts locked, as long as we have
such graceless scamps in community, who
seem to live by slandering their neighbors.
The soul of this correspondent might be
put into a mustard pot, and have as much
room to circulate therein as a herring in
Lako Erie.

Relief of Mrs. Hi.ntos. A joint reso-
luiioo has lately passed Congress, which is
very gratifying to every person acquainted
with the circumstances of tbe case. I refer
to the resolution for the relief of Mrs. Re
becca Hinton, of Delaware, Ohio, wife of
Otho ll nton, late mail contractor. This ac
tion of Congress will restore to this much .
afflicted but most excellent family the small
private properly of Mrs. Hinton, and she
will be able to avoid years of poverty and
toil Without disparagement to otber Ohio
members, it is but right to say that Major
Sapp, of Ml. Vernon, in the House, and
Judge Wade, of the Senate, were instru
mental in securing tbe passage of thw reso
lution. They both have great influence in
their respective Councils, and are valuable
and profitable Representatives of and for
Ohio. Wash. Correspondent.
Erie aud North-East Railroad. The
Pennsylvania House, on the 10th, passed
through, in Committee of the Whole, the
repeal of the Charter of tbe Erie and North
Last Railroad, nnd it was made tbe special
order for Wednesday afternoon. The bill
will probably piss the Legislature. This
annulling of tho Charter is said to be in
consequence of the non-performance of cer
tain conditions connected with that Charter,
by which it was obliged to contribute to
the prosperity of Erie, indirectly and di
rectly. Tbe Legislature seems determined
that the company shall do so, or stop.
