WHAT WILL THE FUSION Do FOR THE COUNTRY Z
Now that the various combinations in the free States
have done their against the democratic party u 10
time for those who msed by the appeals of the fu
sion leaders to ask themselves how far their hopes and
wishes have graed, and whether they will be able
to the peculiar ideas which have Led to these
extraordinary popular demonstrations However easy
may be unite at the baoboxes IN order TO defeat
particular party individual it is not SO easy for those
who triumph upon antagonisms alone to conduct the gov
ernment in successful and constitutional manner We
deem this proper occasion to point out to those who have
contributed to recent results dangerous example which
they have in free country, and the utter imposslbity
of making any organization permanent without be-
ing founded npon avowed and rational principles In the
late elections many good voted for many bad nsa
without seriously rejecting that the latter soon to
become their representatives The motives to do this
various: Some wanted to "rebuke the Pope" some
wanted to rebuke inemperance" some were animated
by hatred Of the South Others again. by Jealousy OF the
foreign vote but the great forgot in these control
ling hostes what they deciding TO substitute for
those they may have rejected startling case in point is
presented the following extract from the Phadel-
pha Pennsylvanian:
One of evils of know nohingism, and perhaps not
serious that by selecting its candidates in secres
public fair opportunity of canvassng the charac
ter Of this occurred in the recent election
The most prominent candidate for judge of the supreme
after Judge Black turns out to the surprise Of almost
body have been Th0s H. Baird who s totally un
fitted position, and who, the Pttsburg Union
$, has not probably looked into law book in five
Yea and whose irascibe temper has made 1t impossible
for him pursue his profession. 1t is significant Illus
of the hypocrisy of such know nohings as Cum
mngs that while they made this State ring with camor
few wears SINCE the falsely alleged nc0mpeency
of democratic nominee the office, in the recent
hor0 phocifa afipnly
utterly destitute of requisite of that important posi-
ton.''
We fear there are many like this and yet this
very Mr. Baird few days ago presented by the Ma
hoaal Iategencer fit person for the United States
Senate
But much in voting for who com
peten it is voting for who do not agree in sent
with those who support the that conceive prime
danger concealed We have doubt for instance that
of those called w-nothngs there is vast majority
who would be indignant the they have elected
to Congress opposing the institutions of the South and
vet it is quite that many of those gentlemen put into
the national legislature by the party violent and
uuscrupulous abononsts Indeed far as the peculiar
know-nothing faith concerned Congress hardly be
said to be the tribunal enforce it. Take next the espe
ca anti Nebraska votes and the state OF things will
be found to hold good Many wings haze heen elected to
the Thirty fourth Congress by this voe but by te tne
they are ready to take their Seats year from the coming
December Nebraska and Kansas will have vndicated them
selves those Washington to restore the Missouri
Compromise will be left free their original poll
tics so that the representatives Of democrats
with honorable exceptions) will fall back into the
whig ranks in Congress- TO the indignation and Shame
Of those who elected them. What the wings have
done before may be done again; for, be it remem
bered. that what whiggery in the North is now
aboonsm and that of those other ideas, believed to be
Obsolete especially that which contemplaes gigantic
system of internal improvements and vast system OF ex
travagan expenditures of all kinds it only needs that
power should be put into the hands of the wings to see
them advocated and carried with inexorable perse
verance And when these mschets have been effected, it
will require just another such revolution that are
now contemplating to right the wrong
Happily with this prospect before us, have chance
OF safety and of the unity of the democracy upon
their established principles Every day proves the i'm
portance of these principles to the general welfare In no
case have they failed when applied in the administration of
public affairs They will be required hereafter, as they are
required now but this may not be until those who have
defeated the democracy October and November cleo
are convinced their by the consequences that
to low from their actions.
