Synopsis
Excerpt from The Know Nothings: An Expose of the Secret Order of Know Nothings, the Most Ludicrous and Startling Yankee "Notion" Ever Conceived
Germans, Irish, English, Catholic or Protestant, are no more anxious for political offices and their emoluments, than native-bom Ameri cans are; and where is the consistency of Americans banding them selves together in secret fraternity, on this score, since our government claims to offer equal protection and franchise to all of every blood and clime? No the Tribune, Herald, and the entire press of the country have conjectured in vain, in regard to the objects of this new order for the ultimate is unknown to even the great mass of Know Nothings themselves.
