The Union argues that the Northern and Southe:n Know Nothing leaders design acting together, if the Southern Know Nothings can be cheated iato permitting the success of abo- litionism with reference to Kansas, as 2 sacri- fice for the propitiation of abolition Know Nothirgism. The Union further argues that Andrew Jackson Denelzon has disgraced him- self by his poli ical apostacy. Appropos—A. J. Donelson was not the adopted son of General Jackson, a8 represented ; that person iz a very diferent individual, a young Mr. Donelson, who changed his name to Andrew Jackson and inherited the He-mitage. Andrew Jackson Donelson was left by Genefal Jackson a small piece of land near the Hermitage, where he Teviles. The boasts of A. J. D. about his re- lationship to General Jackson, and his other efforis to obtain importance for his Know Nothingiem by profes ions of inheriting the spirit of the sage of the iiermitage, and the industrious dissemination of falsehoods in this connection by the Know Nothing press, re- mind us strongly of the ancient fable about the ass that put on the lion’s skin, to get for himself consideration in the assembly of the beasts of the fo All went on well enough 8o long az he kept bis mouth shut. At length, however, Lis vanity overcoming him, he un- dertook to make bimself heard as well as seen. His roar being a mere bray, his truech-racter Was discovered, and he was speedily and un- Ceremonicusly kicked out of the company he wasia. 1: was truly untortunaie fur Andrew Jackson Donelson, that aufforing his head to be turned by the flatteries he received in bis as- sumed disguise, he ventarel to boast indirect- Jy that the mantle of Old Jackson had fallen on bis shoulders.

Mr. Starr, a Yankee po- litico preacher, who seems, from his own ac- count, to have teken an active pert in the squabbles between the Missourians and Abo- litionists in Kansas, is lecturing in New York evidently to the end of obtaining Abolition reinforcements as well as money for his breth- ten out West. He is telling the folks some home traths, among which we find few, indeed, that goto justify our talented, amiable, corte us and ingenuous neighbor in its effort to induce the South to consent that those represented by the seceders from the Philadelphia Conven- tion (with whom it gravely proposes to remain ia political communion) shall work their will in Kansas, under the plea that slavery cannot peaceably go into Kansas, and would be worth nothing to the South if it went there. This Rev. Mr. Starr says that so far the South has gained all attainable in that quar- tor, and that the chances are ien to one that Kangas will adopt a slave- holding constitution, sending two pro-slaveholding senators to the United States Senate, anda pro-slaveholding representation to the lower house, as a conse- quence, According to this orator, nothing but almost super-human exertions on the part of Wilson, Colby, Hale, Colfax & Co., cas suffice to give the non-slaveholding cause “a sight” there. His lectures are worthy of no- tice because they so completely scatter to the winds the apology of our talented, amiable, courteous and ingenuous neighbor, for its pro- position to the South that for the sake of co- operating with Wilson, Colby, Hale, Colfax & Co. in the next Presidential elestion, if (the South) shall at onca and gracefully eur. render Kansas. He says: “The instant tho Kansas-Nebraska bill passed last year, we had a great demonstration made at Boston, and they said they were go- ing to raise a capical of $5,000,009 to sead 20,000 men of grit and pluck to Kansas. I don’t know what has become of the $5,000,- 000. Bat when they talked about $5.000,000 and 20,000 men, that sounded large to the People in the State of Missouri, which is a siaye State, and men who didn’t want to have their property depreciate 25 per cent, or so in the course of a couple of years, took alarm at this big talk—which, by the way, didn’t mean anything—was nothing but gas. ‘Chat kind of ta k led the State of Missouri to say: Who's going to take that Kansas. If they’ye got $5 000.000, we've got $50,000,000. “There's one thing at any rate we can do—we can out bully them, and out fight then.” For they al! have an idea thatose Southern man can whip fifteen Northerners. I have friends there who have just this iden, that a Northern- er can’t fight; don’t know how to fight, basn’t got any grit in him to fight, and that one Southeraer is equal to fifteen Northerners at any timoin anything. “People at the North talk all the while about Southern chivalry as thouzh there was not any there; they think tha: when they come to talk right up toa Southerner he wiil come down. At the South they say the North- eners do nothing but gas all the whie. Now, tomy mind, tuey are both badiy mistaken In thé South there is utter reckle:sness about which we know nothing at the North; they are always ready to fight at the drop of a hat, They had just az lief die abou: aaizpence as “bout a mullion of dollars when their blood is up. Here at the North men ara ofa difforent temperature. * * bad * “Oar people in the Es3t are behind the Missourians in going into that country. When a Missourian inteads to move he takes all biz worldly goods with him. If he has no oxen he will barness up tows, and before he goer ha will pick up all the wrought nails and everythiug of that sort. Yankees expect to buy themthere”” * * * “LT have no grief or bitterness of epirit as great a3 that which I have felt to seo these great professions of the North come to nothing. From ene end of the nation to the other these professions were sounded. They wore ta be up and doicg; but instead of giving their money and their men they hare pe: d their very souls, degraded the truth, their boror, and absolutely their decency az well. That what we chould excite the South to gsch a pitch a frenzy and then do things in such a way! Idon’t believein it. It is not right to do things in thatway! In reference to the city of ye recollect they commenced to rally before it was becun there, and as soon as they began to talk about it they saw it was time to 2ct. And it is so especiaily when you have millions of men whore interest it ia to thwart your plans. You had better keep still at first if you can only do little things; ther a3 you increase your efliciency you oun in- crease your nuise, That is how they do South they keep very quiet, but they go prepared. and it comes out efierward. * * * “If men would do anything in that country. they have got to get up early aid be smart. Stringfellow was right, in his letter published at Washington, when he said tha: Southerners were not the indolent men they wore though: to be by the North. He ehowed that a negro man taken into Kansas is worth $1,550 the first year for his labor, if it happens to be u good harvest; and even in very bad searons— in times of famine such as Kansas has suffered froma—the Jabor of one negro slave iz worth at lezst $750. He gays & poor white man from the North will starve to death—that is what besaye. But what I say is. you want men of jadgment to go there who will go prepared to do something in & systematic manner. When &@ man gets vut into a country two thousand miles wide, if he cannot expand hig ideas so a3 to make bis Yankee ingenuity do big things as well a2 to stay hore aud do little things, be most expect tostarve. Lhat is what Scriag- fellow meant, I think.” The reader will porceive from these extracts precitely the worth of the convenient opinion of our talented and ingenucus neighbor as to the value of Kansas to the South, and the utter impossibility that the South may successfully contest with the North in its colonization, on which cur amiable and courteous pro slavery neighbor bases ita advice to the South to “knoek under” about Kansas without delay, and wheel inte line with Wilson, Colby, Hale; Colfax, & Co. for the Presidential canvass. A Mistake.—“Col. Beblen, of the Untied States Army, who has been for zome time past in the allied camp at Sebastopol as a guest of the officers, tes returned to Paris on hie way to the United States.” We take the above from among the Jalti- more Swx's news items. There is no such eficer in the Army of the United States. A gentleman of that name, of Philadolphia, a man of large wealth aud irreproachable per- sonal boaring, attached himself to Worth’s command as an impromptu volunteer aid de- camp during the Mexican war, in whick po- sition he xoquitted himseli very well, indeed. He was an amatour military man, and a very enthusiastic one. The probability is that ke is the gentleman aliuded to ia the abosgyex- Polish Dxilos—In 1834 an aot of Congress was passed granting certain lands to the Po- lish exiles who came to this country ia an Avstrian frigate. It turned ont thet the lands selected for them wore claimed by pre- emptionists, and in behalf of the latter Con- Gress interposed by a low—1842. Under these Circumstances, while the claim of the Poles stand admitted on the statate book, the Ex- ecutive has no power to cfford them relief, unless Congrese ehali further legislate by epe- cifying the manner ia which the claim shall be satisfied. Casusity.—* The Norfolk News states that & melancholy % Occurred at Old Point on Friday. Oce of the boilers in the ord- nance department exploded, and Lieut. McAi- lister was soriodsly, and it is feared, fatally woanded.”” * The foregoing account of the accident at Fort Monroe, whieh appeared in this morn- Jog’s Baltimore Swen, and taken from the Nor- folk News, is incorrect. The official account of the accident, reseived this morning at the Ordnance Bureau, states, that an explosion cocurred in the mining room of the laboratory on the afternoon of the 224 inst , whereby the entire building and a por- tion of the adjoining onc were burnt. Lieut. MoAllister and one man, being present at the time, were severely, though not fatally, burned. Another man, who was also present, and having been missing since the accident, is supposed to have perished in the flames. Rinevoh.—Yesterday in decyphering the Political hyeroglyphics of the ancient city of af Nineveh—of the Seventh Ward of that vene- table burg—we are inclined t> believe that we mistook one of those named as uwellers in or frequonters of that venerated city of antiquity. Thus we printed one as David Bants, (of Virginia,) who should Probably have boen printed David Bon'z; and a farther examination with the records in question, shows that some of them left Nineveh, shaking ita dust from their feet shortly after entéring that city. But to resume the thread of these so inter- esting chronicles of the Seventh Ward of the ancient city aforesaid Wo have to say that on the same 6th of May, A. D. 1955, ancients named William Tucker, John L. Smith, and Charles White, were duly selected as dole- gates to the general convention of all the wards of venerable Nineveh to select a can- didate forthe mayor thoreof. On the nine- teenth night of the same month and year, a certificate of election, embracing instructions as to the candidate for whom they should vote as a nominee for mayor, was given to them. it was in the following words, viz: Nixeven, May 19. 1854. This is to certify that at a meeting of seventh ward council held on the sixth inst., Brothers Wm. Tusker, Jobn L. Smith, and Charles White were elected as delegates to represent this council in the Genera!

They, at one o'clock, met in their lodge room, on Washing- ten streot, and marched from thence in pro- cession to the colored people’s Methodiet church, where an addrees upon the subject of Masonry was delivered by John Costin, of Washington. At the conclusion of the ad- dress a banner was preseated to Hiram Lod; se, by Isabella Brisco, upen the part of the do- nore, and receiv-d by Ciemont Becket, upon ihe part of the lodge. ‘The banner cost about $50, and is cortainly a very handsome article, Tho front is composed of white satin, upon which is well painted the Angel of Time, scytho, hour glass, a virgin bearing an olive branch, and broken shaft, with the inscrip- tion—* Presented to Hiram Lodge by the Young Ladies of Georgetown” The reverse side is composed of blue cilk, and is decorated with the various emblems of the order. The whole is surmounted with drapery of blue tilk, and trimmed with silver bullion. After the delivery of tho address by Costin, which certainly would have done uo discredi: to any public speaker, and the presentation of the banner, the company repaired to the rops- walk of Mr. C. W. Dean, where a su »ptuous dimner had been prepared for the occasion, which was dgalt with after the manner of hungry souls, by about two hundred and fifty males and females. The whole affair wascer- tainly a very pleasing one, and excellent -rder, general politeness, and the besutiful fraternal feelings that characteri<ed all present, would have done no discredit to many of their more fortunate neighbors of the present day. The following are the names of the officers of the Lodge who presided on the cccasion: JI. U. Dade, W.M; Lewis H. Hinson, 8. W.; John Boothe, J. W.; Wm. V Grant, Sceretary; R. Johnson, Treazurer.
