Pierce, Gen. Pillow, and all the other generals
all the Cabinet and Kitchen Cabinet, Buchau-
an, Mason, Dickinson, Hunter. Fillmore Clay
ton, Everett, Crittenden, John Bell Jacob
Broome, Henry S. Mott, Mayor Conrad, Daniel
Ullmann, and all the rest may have a run, il they
choose, in the newspapers and on the stump, each
as the candidate of the Know Nothings. But
the order themselves will most probably come
to no fixed determination upon their candidate
till after the election. If, when the election is
over, it shall turn out that the Know Nothings
have secured q majority Of the vote Of the elec-
toral colleges, then, by prcconcerted arrange
ment ftheir councils, their electoral tickets in
the several States which they shall have car
ried will be concentrated upon one and the same
individual for President, and Know Nothing
will succeed Do Nothing administration.
This system will bring back the Presidential
election to the provisions Of the constitution
upon the subject. The constitution ordains
that the people shall vote for electors; and
that the electors thus elected in the several
States shall choose their President by ballot.
1t says nothing Of Baltimore conventions. They
arc an unconstitutional usurpation of the rights
of the people and their electors. It would, no
doubt, be just as well, perhaps better, to have
the vote of each State for President decid-
ed directly by the vote of the people; but
until it is changed, we must take the con-
stitution as it is. It's trainers were
wise men; and so they have left it subject to
change, according to the progressive spirit of
the age. But as it stands, the programme OF
the Know Nothings, it will be seen, proposes
to stick to the constitution to the very letter.
Wehave no objection to give this plan fair
trial. 1t will turn the attention OF newspapers
from their customary abuse aud ISLANDERS
against individuals to the discussion of great
principles and measures Of public policy. II
the same plan were generally carried out in our
State elections, 30 as to keep the candidates OF
the different parties out of the newspapers,
some of our contemporaries would be saved the
trouble and expense Of two or three or half
dozen libel suits after the elections.
1t is predicted in various quarters that the
Know Nothing organization will explode and

Lord Palmerton's Visit to Paris.

The Paris correspondent of the London Times,
writing on Goth Of November, says It was to bs
expected that Lord Palmerston's visit to Paris at
this rent would give rise TO an infnity Of CON
10 lures - TO its real object His lord ship paid
visit yesterday 10 the Emperor 1t st. Cloud, but
returned In the evening to mis- quarters q. the Br
tish Embassy. He again, believe, visited the EN-
peror to-day. Thus It would appear that a. yet, as
sll events ne has not become the constant guest of
the Emperor. There are, Of course, many who
wOulo be glad to know something Of what passess at
these long interviews, and, in default Of such kno
meie courtesey), ccDjectures are pazarded. Some
sidy, and others that . grand financial operation,
In which England and France should mutually qua
rsntee loan on an extraordinary large ale, Is on
The tops. There are not flew, however, who doubt
that such can be the object Of such visit, seeing
that either Of these ssti0ns might be left to tie
ordinary diplomatic agency Of both countries, but
that something still more important In to De discuss

understanding az to the line of conducs which The
English and French governmental are to adopt In the
eveut Of any st more serious emergency arisingthat
emergency being nothing more nor le,s than u CON.
tntnlal war. IL SEEMS indeed, moral I'm possiti-
lit3 to avoid more decided MISUNDERSTANDING with
Prussia. The selection Of Lord Palmerston for such
an object is not extraordinary, his Iordsiip hayiag,
at the period OF the coup d'efnt, manifested mgcn

covered the coffin, crozier ives placed close to it.,
