Nashville Union And American

David Wilmot, of the proviso memory, is now the Black Republican and Know Nothing candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania. He dwells, in his letter of acceptance, at great length upon the slavery question; and then gives out the following to his Know Nothing supporters, showing that he is sound on the goose:

The position taken by the Convention in its resolve touching the duties and obligations imposed upon those who seek adoption into our great American family of freemen, must meet the approval of every patriotic citizen. We have a right to expect and require a perfect and undivided allegiance from all who are invested with the high prerogatives of citizenship. As the adopted citizen receives in full measure all the rights and immunities of the native born, so ought he to render the like single and unreserved devotion to the country of his adoption. He should acknowledge no earthly power superior to the Constitution and the sovereignty of the American people. There is no danger that we shall err in our zealous devotion to our country, and in the cultivation of an intense American nationality.

The Know Nothings of Tennessee will see that brother Wilmot is with them.
