We were surprised yesterday to see so many cf our Know Nothing friends in such a perfect furor about the newspaper reports of the do- iogs of their meeting in your city on the pre- vious night. Keep cool gentlemen, don’t let your angry passions rise to such an extent this hot weather, it might result in hydrophobia, or disqualify you to bear the awful trial which awaits you in November. however, we remark that whenever any party, political or otherwise. sets the laws at defi- ance, and virtually tramples upon it, and its oflicers, they must expect the public press to criticise their conduct. public journal fails, cither through fear or party prejudice, or from any other cause to do this, it ronders itself unworthy the confidence and sapport of any community, and ought at once tu cease to exist, we care not what the pretext for doingsomay be.
