Or THE Know Nothings, or New American Party. Opinions and Suggestions of the Leading Jour- nals of this New Movement, [rom the Richmond (Va.) Whig, formerly whig, Jy Know pd othing with a conditiea or two. THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION. The Naticnal Convention of the Know Nothing or Ame- wiean party asssmoles in Philadelpbia on fuesday next. It twot the first importance in our judgment that it sheuld be compored of the wisest and best men of the perp ‘men of judgment, pradence and sagaciiy—men ‘Will cevoive duties and responsibilities of the F, and the result of its deliberation wi mine for weal or woe, the destinies of the ‘Te as useless to disguise the fact that many have been itted which might and ought to have deem avoided—that the kadersbip and coatrol of that party bave been mestly in the hands of men without pohtieal experience or politi imfluence—and that its triam pb im Virginia has brea defeated, mot so much from Spy particular defect in its principles, as from want of pepe and skilful management. We have no objection winks, and grips, and signs, aod passwords ; but Jess attention to these, and more to essen- vials, is what the well-oeing of the American par ¥ Rew absolutely c-quires, The time hae come when the public will be sativfied with nothing less Wea an openiy-prociaimed, broad, national State rights platform, and the action of tne party, North and Seutb, in strict conformity to it. It wiil not do to mince matters; but you must go to work in errnest, address Jourrelves diligent y to correcting errors and re‘ormiog ‘abuses, and add such improvements as practical common fener, «experience and ‘orecast may deem advisadie, politic and just’ The National Convention has an im- it task to perform; and if it fails to meet the pub- Bowants snatte public expectations, it will have as- sembied in vain, ano the Order is at once disbanded. As wo bave said, we care little about the machiaery new organization, though there ia mach evem in ‘that, it we are to judge by the published ritual, waich wight be dispensed with, pot only without imparing t! ficiency of its operations. but to the manifest and de- eiced acvantage ef the Order in removing many of the Prejudices which now exist in the public mind again<c %. There is m {$ much of flummery and stuil, captivat img enough to the fancies of cuilirea perhaps, but not specially acapted to attract the atwiration or excite the applause of grown men. let the Conveation, vhile re. taiming, if it chooses, the signs, grips and passwor's of ‘the orcer, lop off all useless excrevences, and it will, to & great extent, disarm opposition to the Laces provided 8 adopts a bold, explicit, comprehensive platform. —_ Ana this is the sam and substance, the pith and poiat of the thing at ast. We, and the whole country, and eepecially the South, ars awaiting in anxiety tne action ef the Philacelphia convention on this subject. ~ A plat- form must be sgreed vpon. and a right one at that; for everything sow depends upon it. ‘We bsheve, aad have often expressed the belief ~ thatthe Know Nothings of the North, outside of New England, are sound, conzerva- tive, national, Union-loving men, ‘disposed to reeogaine ‘he constitutional rights of the South, and to aid ia tae enforcement of all laws—the fugitiv: e law included —paseed for their protection. We be too, that they are willing to subseribe, heart and soal, to ths graat doc- trime of non intervention to concede that Congre: no power to interfere, directly or indirectly, with siavery ‘tter- and brave,loyal bearts; for upon that body avess deter- in the States, and no power to exctude the people of tne Senth, with their property, from the Territories. We beheve, al-o, that they are oppesed, ani will have no he- aitation im expressing their opposition to the unjustado- Mtion doctrine of “No more siave States.’ In short, wo believe they are conservative and pa- e@Miotc in all their views and feslings—national in everything, sectional in nothing. And thus believing. we imdulge the confivent bope that the Phila- adelpbia convention will speak ont, plainly and above beard, with one voice, upoe all these questions. It ie futile to attempt to patch up & compromise upon these pots. They must be met—met boldly and satisfacto- wily. he South neither can nor will confide in or give its seppert to any party, vo matter by what name it may be called, which does not come out. unequivocally, and prosiaim its achesion to tne saviog principle of noa- mvrvention It is usetess for a party to sail itself con- servative, national, Union-loving, if it ts not willing to equare ite couduet by its professions—an‘ its professions, t00, should be put ina cetinite and tangible shape. It wii) net enly be just end right, therefore, but i: will be the height of policy, also, tor the coavention at Phila dipbia to express itself in unmistakeadle terma in re- gard to those prominent, vital, ali absoroing questions te whieb we have averted. One word about the arelition Know Nothings, with Wileon at their head Oar advice is to allow neither Wilsen nor avy of his stripe to take sestain the con ation. Kyen though they come forward voluotarity apd ray they are willing to take the ‘third De- gree,” delieve not in their sincerity. Pleigea, nor ligations, nor oaths, canever bind such men as Wil 0! Maseacbusette. Therefore, kick him and atl gach f the eonvention at tne outset. Pacge, purify the at e erder at the Norto, ano you will then coasteass a x: national, constitutional party, before which all the ar effete party organizations of tue day will be compelled tegive place. Let not the taint of abolitioniam attach many maoner to the Ph:ladelphas convention. Te conclusion, if the results of the deltverations of thie body aball be satisfactory to the Sonth and the ps wiotic men of ai] sections of the country, the American party willbe invincible. If nos, st ia already numvered ‘with the things that were. We have long since ont Jeose from the avotitionized Norsbera whigs; aad, un- Jere the Know Nothing cuavention at Padadeiphis shall present to tne people an acceptadie aud honest plat orm, sueb a» we have indicated, then we are free to confess that we shall henceiorta hoki them, a9 we bold all other ‘enemies of the South—at dagger’s point. [From the Duilalo Commercial Advertiser, formerly whig now Kuow Nothing ] THE KNOW NOTHINGS. ‘The National Convention of the new party will assem- Bw at Philadeiphia on (uesday of nex: weak, Its pro- eredings will be Jooked to with great intersst by all who Bestow any attention oa public affairs. It is the first as- semblage in which the whole party is represented, and en the wisdom of ite action dapends the future success ef the new movement, It is expected to lay down the tfcrm of principles on which tbe party, after duo de- beration. determines to stand. It 1s expected to decide all unsettled questions of organization. It is expected to consult on the arrspgements proper to be made for ‘tbe vext Presidential campargn, into which the party, notwitnstansivg its recent origin, is powerful «nough to enter with strong hopes of controiling the result. We believe the delibrrations of this body sre more likely to be wire, and the plans it will adopt weil considered, than if the too sanguine expectations of the party bad been vealized in the Virginia election. That election has de monstrated that the Know Nothivgs are a powerfal and formidsbie party, and even in its infancy, before it is a Jeor old in that State, an object of terror to its opp> mente, They were obliged to mate uawonted exertions ‘to save themselves from Inglorious defeat. Even if com plete returns shall sow tat Wise is elected, it la patent te everydody that he and n's party wera in imaiaent peril—a peril so great 4s to interest tha whole country more deeply than it was ever before interested in a mece Btate election, Having given this demonstration of its power, in atdi- tion to its uniform success in all the ocher recent elee- tions, the new party has no resson to be dissatisfied with the result in Virginia, even if Wise ia elected. If the @eteat of the Koow Nothings in Virginia shal! teach tha party rome falutary lessons it neeis to learn present feat will couduce vo its ultimate success There 14 8 @rrtaim rhort-lived succass wolth depanda oa mere prestige, and a reputation for tovincisility which «& party that expects to harden foto solidity may Rave too much of. Wheu a potitical party oecomes #0 ttrong, or fancies itself so strong, that its nomine- tions are eqaivslent to an election, irrespective of the Steers of the it i twaction. if a porty isstrong enough to elect Attle or incompetent men, such men will be busy with petty intrigues to secure its support for public office. Avd wben the public see that a creat party is degraded into a mere inst: ument for foisting grandy and brainless Retender into important offices, they are filled with in- @ffable cisrust. The down'ail of » party that lends itself te be ro prostituted is not far off. The Philedelphia Convention, treading close on the heels of the Virginia election, will be held at a tina very favorable for sober, considerate action. We hope the ty will have the wisdom to allow itself to be instru: ed by events, and that its disappointmeat in ite recent ever-confident predictions will produce a temver of mind which will dispose it to listen with attention to tha ad ‘vies of ite friends. The party has some th ngs to leara; and if it expects the aid of an independent press in ad- its interests, it must be willing to pay some de ference to |ta counsels, The press has become too poteat and influential, and is too conscious of its power, to fol- Jew servilely in the wake of any party, A tamely « ‘the behesta of its leaders.

If the party can only be coerced to vote for whoever is nominated, and they can get the nomination, their fortune is made.

We think the present a suitable time to dis- ‘abuse the party of the delusion of supposing it can bold @ permanent ascendancy over the public mind by mere erganization and claptrap. It must hereafter rely en the souncners of its principles, and the fitness and in- tegnity of its prominent men. It will be weil, therefore, for the convention to waste no time in trying to devise meansfor the better guarding of ta secrets, and the ex- ercite of a more complete control over its members. Let it pot attempt to constract a perfect macbine for transforming office-ssekers into office holders, but to make the party @ powertul iastrament for promoting the public good.

Without any doubt, our friends in the Old Dominion have been over con4- dent, and cheated by pretended friends, spies and traitors, These things speak directly to the Americans of New York. There may be entire security in our prerent cendition—we may be atrong enough, and safe against betrayal. Our Virginia brethrea thought they were, but were mistaken. Let us in New York fall into no similar error, Let us by activity henceforth make “assurance doubly sure.’? Let us not slumber on our arms, abate none of our zeal, omit nothing that is honor- able ‘to add to our numbers, Appealing to the intelli- gence and patriotism of the country for support, the Americ cause can be served beat by the circulation of papers and documenta defining our principlss and ani- mating the hearts of the people. Intelligence ie the lever by which the corrupt political dynasties can alone de overturned. Already do we hear our brethren in Virginia complaining bitterly that they have failed through misrepresentation of their priaciples, and be- cause the cloud of darkness was not lifted, which had xo long rested upon the people of Virginia.” Whe round political reading was cireulated, there success tended the American cause. So it will be everywhere. Thera are sound avd reliable American journals scatter- ed all over this State, and they should liberally circalate among the people. Let our friends give these jonrnala a warm support, Make this a leading objest, for it will tell most powertully in the end, and construct a broad and enduring platform for the American party. Friends, be wise and active while yet you may with efficiency. [From the ‘‘American Organ” at Washington, volun: teer national Know Nothing paper. | THE NEW YORK HERALD.

The approaching reason will bring along all the ter- rors necessarily belonging to artifisially destroyed ia- tinct and nature, for which art and seience do #0 little. Fear is, aecording to Haller, like its blood rels- tive, despondency, the real paralyzing polson for museles andrkin--the drag chain of the cirsulation; it makes wounds ineurably, 9nd mad and blind anddumb. Much is, therefore, gained if fear is quieted in certain impend- ing diseasss, viz: cholera, yellow fever, hydrophodia, &e. I would consider it lost pains to try to rouse the faculty to « sense of duty, because there are instanses in the history of religion that martyrs have converted their headamen; but there is none in the history of msdi- cine where a reformator has succeeded to get a general acknowledgment of former errors aud adoption of sym- plifying improvemeata; but the public ought to be ap pealed to, so that involent guild pride has te give away to scathing popular indignation. { have been led to make these remarks by & paragraph in the Hgraco of yesterdsy, heated “ Probable Fatal Case of Hydropho- bia,” for “tua resagitur, paries cum proximas ardet,? and I know that you are the only editor of an influential jourval —— enough to publish @ truth for the sake of truth. ‘The great Harless, in his work on hydrophobia, says ‘that there is pot one case of real h ydrophooia authent cally known as cured by the use of the druga and spe- cifies recommended by the faculty and governments.” Ia, then, notevery one justified, avd even sacredly bound, in'sueb a case to resort to meaus that have not only the recommen¢atioa of novelty, but also of higa sathonty, particularly uf these means have beea crowoed with the most glorious snccess ? That Rusman steam baths with following cold im- mersions have restored many a one satferiag from the symptoms of bydrophobia, nobody will ceay. Mirotf raises them ae iataihole, and Batsson considers 4 swaat- ing bath the only sure remedy known. Yet but few of our more delicately eonstituted and civilizedly nroken- down popolation could bear there baths; and Mugendie and L, J.

THE LAST ELECTION IN KANSAS, The following letter, dated at Leavenworth, K, T., May 43, we find in the Kansas Herald:— ‘The election passed off very quietly, without any fighting or disturbance. Reeder and his myrmidoas cannot say this time, at least, that Missourians took the polls aud Kansas was conquered by an armed force of “border ruffians.”? This was emphatically elec. tion by the squatters—the actual bona fide the Territory. And notwithstanding the fra rallied all their forces and obtaiged about twenty-five votes from the steamer Kate Cassel—the hands on the boat and several soldiers—yet they were beaten tour to one by an overwhelming majority of the legal resident voters of the Territory. The actual votes of the free soilers, Including steam- boat hands and soldiers, was not exceeding 1U0, wnile that of the pro slavery ticket was 561. Let us no longer hear free soilers and abolition letter writers say that Kansas was conquered by an armed force of ‘'border ruffiaps.’”? We have beaten them a second ani third, and will continue to beat them on every batle field and every Occasion. This ‘was Reeder’s election, which the pro-slavery rty did not recognize as legal, and hence many of our Friends took no interest in the election and dia not at- tend the polls, while our opponents did all they could to make a respectable skow of votes. But they have been ated—overwhelmingly defeated—and now, we sup- |, they will be content to let our memb:ra have tosir without another contest or ‘‘protest ’’ No one, we presume, will now be found ready to ewear that ‘many citizens were deterred from voting by the conduct of Mistourians.”” They must admit that they have been fairly beaten, and that for want of voters they muat give up the contest.

Mr. Volk thinks that the American party is touad on the slavery questio, und thet its platform and politics are emi- nently conciliatory and couseruarive, sad the: should be satisfactory totbe Soxth.

A meeting was held in Chieago, IIl., on the 29th uit., to rejoices over the democratic victory in Virgioia. Senator Douglas detivered a speech, in which he dis- ebarged a shaft at the Know Nothiags. In October, 1847, the question of negro suffrage was voted upon by the people of Coonesticut, and the affirm- ative received 6,356 votes, against 19,148 in opposision. On the , the proposition agaia came up ure, and, although there was found a majority ef the House in favor of granting the privilege, tae pro- position failed for the want of a two-third vote.

Mr. Jones is therefore the democratic oan didate, “His opponent is not yet nom inated. In Washington city the Know Nothiag municipal tick- et bas five doctors on it, and the demosratic ticket a similar number. The Orleans (Indians) Bulletin has placed at the heat of its columps Jobn Beil, of Tennessee, for President, and Lucian Barbour, of Indians, for Vice Presiden‘. A public meeting will be held in Bosne county, Mis- fouri, on the 24 inst., to give expression to the feekngs of the people on the efforts now being made by eastern capitalists and speculators to locate in Kansas a class ‘of people who ore mot only hostile to the, istitation of slavery, but who avowedly and practically disregari lawful rights, and whcse presence immediately upoa the western border of Missouri, most inevitably reager save property insecure. and immediately jeopardise the in- Verest and institutions of the State, The whigs of Tennestee bave united with the Know Nothings 1m support of Meredith P.

Soth candidates for Governor are canvaysing the State together. Stepbem A. Douglas, heving been cbargad in a politi cal discussion in Kentucky, with belonging to the Kaow Nothings, bas addressed a letter to the sditor of the Louisville Democrat, a which he says he “sympathize with the democrati: party, and that he is aaaltersbly opposed to Know Nothingism in all its forms, aod equally opposed to any party which co operates witn iw?

In your paper of the 30th March I saw a short letter from Sidney Plains, Delaware county, New York, ia which the writer mentioned the mame of the Hoa, John ¥. Botts, of Virginia, in connection with the mext Presi” dency. Your numerous readers in this quarter hail the views contained in the Sidney Plsins letter with plea- sure apd enthusiasm, and thank you most cordially for ‘the kindly manner in which you introduced them to the public, Your kindness in the matter was the more marked, as it was generally understood that your rela- tions with Mr. Botts had net deen very friendly. And here, if you will perm:t me, I will endeavor te show that you have long labored under s misapprehi sion in respect to the true character of Mr. Botts. doing this, ust beg you will acquit meof any trusive intent, for nothing could pe farther from my design. It cannot be otherwise thaa aqneeasie to you, Iam thoroughly pereuaded, if I should succeed in dis- abusing your mind from erroaeous impressions against whomsocever entertained. 1 look upon the Hsaa.», ua- der your management, as by iar the most potent poli- tical engine in the state of New York ; und a4 exerc sing avery powerfui influence in all. the other States of the Unen. In other words, sir, I thimk you may be justly the Napoleon ‘of the press in the United Btates. ver widely others may, at times, oiffér He from you amicat the ever-reourring flactuations of party politics, your powers and abilities must. nevertheless, beconceced by all. Your claim to these ia both ua- sticned and unquestionable. 80, too, I look upon ir Botts meof the purest, most as aod lighted smong the living statesmen o} y im oar country. | epeak this'from a jong, intimate ana thorough acquaintance with his character, both private and pup- aie. Upon the accession of John Tyler te the Presidency, in April. 1841, Mr. Botts was warmly als personal and pol tical friena. ‘Their intimacy at that period was wel derstood over the country—an intimacy which has ever ince subjected Mr. Botts te much harmful ridicule amd ppeared te me that it weald been as just, and mo more so, for General Washing: ton to have tuflered in reputation because of Arnold's reachery, os ‘t was that Mr. Botts should suffer on ac- count of fyler’s course. Ridicule—tbat mere destructive weapon very often than troth and reasom and argument commeed—aai nothing but ridicule, was the envenomed shaft hurled at Mr. Botts in those days, and it has been kept in constant play until this moment. ‘he late Henry Clay often spoke to me of Mr. Botts in connection with this veer Spies remarking uniform ly to the effect, that Mr. Bots» had exhibited to the country @ rave specimen of public virtue, imesmuch as his relations with Lyler ch as te have command: od for him any position in his (Tyler’s) cabinet he might have choren to accept, and Fa spurned it because trath inly nothing ean be clearer Botts, em that memorable oceasion, was goided so.ely and purely by bonorabie and patriotic mo- tives, thrusting office ana its emoluments behind his back. ware that your position on the United States Bank q did not coincide with that of Mr, Botte; but I ask in all candor whether you would not have acted as be cid, bad similarly situated? Political dis race, deep and damning, willever follow and abide on mames of ‘Captain Tyler’ and his ‘‘eorporal’s ”” Of these the -‘Captsin’’ himself and Hemry A. God pity them !—are still hv- ingand figuring. In their slightest touch there is a po. Mtical virus most loathsome and contaminating. Like the guilty Macbeth, their plague epots are inellaceable: not ali ocean’s waters could wash them out. In res- pect to this, I believe there ia now but one opimon amongst honorable men of whatever party. Ata later time, (to wit, 1848,) Mr. Botts earnestly de- sired and sought the nominatien of Mr Clay for the Pre- dency as against Gen. Taylor. Mr. Clay’s statesman- ship was univerrally known and acknowledged, Gen. Taplor’s was wholly untried. On the question of that nowination Mr. Botts and yourself were at variance. Well, the experiment was p:shed; Gen. Taylor was n0- minated and elected, and the sequel is before the coun try. Mr. Botts fereraw and prociaimed what that sequel would be; and now, I have no doubt, your views and hia in regard to it are entirely comcident. More recently atill, (to wit, in 1852,) Mr. Botta gave anardent support to Gen. Scott for the Presidency, whilst you, with equal ardor, espoused the caase of Gen. Pierce. Well, bere again—pardon tae allusion—your- relt and Mr, Botts are in ‘the same bed.’? In regard to the merits—demerits, rather—ot this Pierce adonisti tiov, you hold opinions in common. But there was & matter of much delicacy very improperly introduced iu to the Presidential camvass of 1852, and with which, by @ most unworrantable misrepreasutation, Mr. Botty be came connected ina manner well calculated to awaken our indignation and resentment. J aslnide to the sbame- fal story that was current. representing that General Reott, atthe breakfast table in Newport, had declined to accept a copy of the HeRaLp, wheo protlered him by the lady of the editor. Now, Mr. Bott: pever gave the least crecence to that ridiculous story, and hes always #0 expressed himself, publcly and privately. I will re prerent the affair trutofuliy, and precisely as I obtained itfrom s pumber of Virginia gentlemen, (Mr. Botts himself being ene of them) at the Astor House, New York, either a stort time prior to the elect’un in ques tion, or very secon thereafter. wr. Botts thought, and rightly, too, that your influence in pulling Gen. Scote down, avd builoing Gen. Pierce up. was little less tuso omnipotent, H+, in a speech somewhere in Virginia, tndesvored to account, in some measure, for your hoe: lity toGen, Scott, and remarked that he coald uot, unless it had been provoked by the cirsulation of this story. He stated at the time that he did not believe the story to betrue; thatifit were true, it reflected a preat deal more upon the bad manrers of Gen. ‘ral Scott than it could upon the Heraup; for the lady could not have been involved in she metter, furtber than in the act of civility in «ndeavoripg to supply the wants of a gentleman who id not hnow how to appreciate it. H-renpoa soa writer, (and there are always enough such, adcressed you a letter, in which he represented Mr. Botta as having en- corved the calumny; whereas, ‘f the writer had veen trutbful, he would bave azquitted Mr. Botts of such un- hinépess. Mr Botts did not beheve the story, but he Gid believe. nevertheless, that your miad had been in- juriously affected towards Gen. Scott, on account of its fabrication. Some little time afterall this had bappened, Mr. Botts visited New York, and stopped at the Astor House, As he came from his room ove morning, with the HeRatp in his band unopened, be was accosted by a bumber of gentlemen, myself among them, and informed that he figured pretty largely in your paper of that day. He was both surprised and irritated, fle said that he could not imagice the cause of your prejudice against him—tbat he had ever entertained and expressed v: high respect for your abilities, &c. You, doubtless, re collect the article I refer to—a pretty long one. In it you assailed Mr. Botts with much severity—charging him with foisting before the public gaze private scandal calculated to injuriourly affec: female reputation, You wrote from misiniormstion, which rads your strictures the more severe upon Mr. Botts. You felt that he bad wronged you: he felt that you were wrongiag bim. He retorted by letter, which, you declining to puolish, ap peared in the Zribune. I have ever supposed that sil that was necessary to make Mr. Botts and yourself friends was a better acquaintance with each other. You are both geod compromise mea—hoth magpavimous, and both powerful champions im the glorious American party. Tbousards over the country would be rejoiced vw Lave you strike bands in friendship. Come, gentle men—Mesers, Bennttt and Botts—play quits, and let by- ones be by ge Tmake the appeal to you hoth, and know that I echo the sentiment and desire of a very many members of the recent organization, or American party, who entertain for you both profound respect and esteem, At the outset of this communtostion I beepoke your king indulgence, ani Ico not know how better to close it than by repeating the request tnat you will parden me if avything I have rritien should strike you as being misplaced or untimely.

James Parks, who is now in prison in Cleveland, Obio, under sentence of death for the murder of Wm. Beatson, has written the following letter to « physician of that city :— CLEVELAND, May 18, 1865.

I think the New York counsel of M. 0-’« spoke of frequently having patients who were deluded into the belief that they bad been kissed, and of believing that various libertirs were taken with them while in the torpid state, which never was done.
