Of course, they eencede that if there are, in point of fact, seventy-two @ousand members of the Kuow Noth ng lodges in Vir- ginia, the question of the election is settled, and Garry ‘ef Accomac is a dead cock ia the pit, At the last Prasi- dential election the demozratic vote, the highest ever given, was seventy-six thousani. It is easy to see that if the Know Nothiogs numer already seventy thousaad, @ fact of which I am assured by the principal member ef their order in this city, and a gentleman whose means of information ae mot surpassed, if they ase equalled by those of any other person ia the State,) they will be able, with the whig outsiders, who may be tet down as at least twenty thou- rand, to carry the State by am overwhelming majority.

KNOW SOMETHING. Our Boston Correspondence, Bostox, May 5, 1855. The American State Council of Massachusetts—Details of its Action—The Anti-Slavery Party Completely Victo- rious—The Gallows Voted Down—Will Mr. Loring be Removed?— Kansas Affairs—New Hampshire, éc. * The most interesting incident in cur politics that has occurred of late, is the action of the American party here, through its ‘tate Council, which m-t in Boston on the Ist of May, and which action is regarded as having “(gbolitionized’’ that purty People may speculate as to the cause of this as much as they plea, but it all re- solves itself down to this pla! ement, The Amiri- ean party bas proceeded in defvren'e ta the public sen- timent of Massachusetts. From the day that the Ne. braska bill was introduced into Congress Massachusetts hax been setting stead Jy in an antislavery diestioa much stronger than she ever aid before. That act hreke down whatever there hac berm left of conservatism ia the State on tbe subject of slavery; ani recent events ia Kansas bave given additional impetus to a current that you probably thoaght was stroog enouga before. 1 called your atteution some tine si to victories achieved by the free soilers im our Legislaiure, and it wae reasonable to iufer that members of that body ware only representing public op.uioa by their action. They Anew what the peogle wanted, and proceeded ac:ord- imply. It is supposed that town and country will be brought inte opposition by the divisions of th» State Conacil— that Boston will be arrayed aga'ost the rural districts, Adoudt of anything of tne kind ocsuring. It is aotat all probadie that tue Know Nothings of Boston are such silly people as to quarrel with their eountry friends be- caune they cannot have tueir own way in all things. They have had, or eoon will have, their full share of ths geod thirgs that come from victory, aad have besa libe- waid, alleged that Virginia had declined im prosperity oa account of slavery. In the first place, the charge is not true. Ha has de- aied it under his own hand, and no one doabts bis honor. Ja the next place, are not the democracy a sweet eonsistent fellows to be eternally getting up t! og cry of atolition at every candidate of tae opposite part y—Harrison, Clay, Taylor, Scott, Summers, and, last of all, Flourney, al) the same? Who the devilare & Taek it with reverence—that they should set themseive Bp a such immaculate virgins o2 the nigger question? Lhave before me, sir, at this momest, a pile of yellow Jooking pamphlets, from wh'ch I have just Knocked off the dust; ana which, but for the title pages, you might abink bad emanated from Exeter Hall or the New York Tribune fice. They are speeches made on the abolition of slavery in the House of Delegates of Virginia in the ear of grace 1832. Did the democracy of Virgiala ever r of James McDow-? Did they elect him Governor of Virgina, some ten years go, and had he not, oaly thirteen years before, standing in hie plave {2 the House of Delegates, advanced sentiments ia rd to slavery, which, if now uttered by a whig, would chili the vary arrow of these Simon Pures?

Let ussee how Charles James Dimeel! talked January 20, (I am particular as to dates.) 3862 1 can only give you a few graias outof @ whols harvest field of #miler eentinent :— “] bave heard of county meetings, county petitions, end county memorials; 1 bave heard from the north, the east and the sont are all, with one voir, Harper's ia prosperity | continuance of slavery. None for it.’ tter with or witbout siaves? It must como last If slavery can be sustained as an Institution, conducive to fhe great interests of society, it will te tolerated. If no', it must bow before the majesty of that power which is supreme.” Protesting + converting the hills and valleys of western Vir. jwia ‘into desolation and barrenne: the withering footsteps of slavery.” Charles Jamas ejaculated with nd patriotic indigpation, ‘Sir, may heaven pro * ue from that curse, by which alone #0 noble a race cap be exterminated from their lee end inheritance!” Ard ogain, ‘Sir tax our lands, vilhfy our country; carry the eword of extermination throogh our now ds. fence esp villages, but spure ur, I implore you, spare us the curse of slavery—that bitterest drop ixom the ebatice of the destroying angel!” Whew ! Obarles James then proces to explore the foand tion upon which the social eiice reste. Proper'y, he maintains, is the creature of civil ancie’y, and slave bolcers bo'd their slaves solely by virtue of the ac: esence and consent of the society in which tle Jive. Property may be tolersted ‘so iong as it is not dangerous to the good order of society. ‘But, viz,’ says Faulkner, “(20 foon a8 it doas become pernicions—so soon an it ia excertsined to jeopardize the act, the bappinesa, the goo! order, may, the very ex- Eitence 0” soctety, froma that moment the r ght by which they (slaveholiers) hola their property ia gone.” “Why, str, law—aod I use this even arule of manicips merely ilinstration of the great principles of seeiety—vic wero tuo, wt altenum non ledas—so hold Property as not to injure the property, still less 2 ba prness oe your seighdors, And the regulated commusties, thers parture from this primcipls, you may It may cause losa—bat it is what rm damnum absque in- fo-de no remedy”? vil—it # an institution bent interests of the y —it exterminates the mrebarie, the artizan, the manufacturer It deprives them of occupation, It deprives them of brews.

He of course denied the suthority of the | government to interfere with slavery in the Sta! steven Vilson of Maasachuee’ don’t claim that. Now this man, Wise’s leatenant Weetern Virginia, in a letter written io Septemoer, 1854, Mr, Kercheval, thu rei to his share in the very discussion of 15:2:— “When I reflect upon my youth at the perint of that iscussion—upon the circumstinces existiog st that . , and which avakened a spirit of ultrsinm even fo eis deiegaies of advauced eee further, when I reflect upon the extent to which we weie urged t> mpt and decided action, by persons of such command- fs position as the editer of the Richmond Pnjuirer, 1 ‘only feel gratified at the tone of seatimeat which thus fell from me on that occssion.”” Look at that. The impenitent sinn-r! And even for- tiles bimerlt by the authority of the Richmond Enguir- er, the very paper which is now hauling Flournoy over the coals on the baselers charge that heonee pronounce! slavery injurious to the interests of Virgin's. Other prominent democrate took part ia ihe same dis- qnasion, among tlem that great leader of the Albemarle democracy, vmas Je(ferson Rendolph, gracdsoa of Thomas Jefferson. Ihave bis speech now before me, and wirh I bad room for extracts from it, He quotes the aboli'ion sentiments of his grantfather, Thomas Jeffer- gon. (the great corner stone of Virginia and American Gemoeracy) and in reply to remark that these were Det visions of Jefferson's philanthropic rally treated in all respects. Whst could they gaia by quarreiling? Nothing, unless they should deem tt @ pri- Vilegs to be allowed to aid in any attempt that may be mace by the whigs to effect @ restoration, The whize would be very glaito have their aid ia the fray, but they would be in no hurry to iny.te them to the feast— if feand there should be. Some attempts have been made to throw doubts om the accuracy of the publ she: accounts of what oveurred in the Stato Council. The o1 error in those accounts is that they do not state the half of what occurred fhe detaiis of the Council’s action would drive some people almost crazy. They araoanted to a complete ‘crushing out’? process, at tbe expemse of the ‘ nacionuls”? Pre. vious io sb 9g bring hee fer officers, Mr. Pierce, the first Presicemt.ct the Know Nothing Order, who knew that ® strorg effort to displacs tim was about to ba made, obtained permission to read a speech, fa waish he derounord the Fugitive Stave law, the Nevraska bill, and slavery generally. For one who had ulways been re- arded a8 a conservative he spose most radically; but his Jate repentance was of no aveil, as he c°uli but get 18 votes out of more thea 300 that were cast, all the rest, be'zg given to Councillor Foster, of Brimield, an oll origival free soler. ‘The other votea wore evea more remarkable for their unanimity against the old candi cates.

If there is one thing more conspicuously evident than another in the French character, as iliustrated at all events in Paria, it is the blasé used up spirit with which events, tingling the nerves and quickening the pulse of most people, are viewed by a nation which par excellence rejoiceth in the distinctive appellation of La Grande. Bere is the representative of that resuscitated dynasty whose very name used tobe synonomous with English batred and unceasing blooiahed, bidding farewell to the coasts of France to visit those of her ancient fee, who, instead of meeting him with eword and lance and all the grim array of ancient rivalry, is covering her highways with triumphal arches, renovating her royal keep at Windsor, preparing civic fetes, peopling her houses with eager gezers from the farthest provinces, while the living impereonation of her dignity—the Queen, in whose veins flows tre blond of a thousand kings—is ready with bended knee and tremaloue hands to gird on his hmb the most illustrious order of her empire—to endow wiih the Garter Napoleoa the Third, as did ber royal predecessor Arthur, Duke of Wellington!

The question is more easily asked than answered; the fact, bowever, as it ir, peaking one, and certainly re minds one of Rome in her decadence, whea now wad then the energy of the Praetorian Guards gave a false and meretricivus brillianey to her fadiog grandeur.
