In Pennsy lvania and Ohio the hos
tilities agains. this mysterious and uni
versal order of tie Know Mornings are
carried on uader the fearful cry of mo quarter
to the enemy" Nothing short of their annihi-
lation, root and brar ch will satisfy the Cabinet
democracy. The PennsyiSanian, under the
special management Of the factofum Of the
Kitchen Cabinet at Washington, is pouriog out
broadside upon broadside, from day to day,
against this secret and anti-democratlc conspi-
racy SO threatening and alarming to all good
spoilsmen. The editor Of the Cincinnati En-
quirer has been vainly ATTEMPTING to get be-
hind the scenes, and to see for himself and for
the benefit of the democracy the machinery
and the purposes of these confederate Know
NDthipgs. He has been ruled out of their
lodges; and yet he processes to have discovered
in his researches much among these dreadful
Know Nothipgs that is more treaso cable than
the seditious proceedings Of the Hartford or the
Nashville secession conventions.
Thus, throughout the State of Pennsylvania
and the State of Ohio the war of the admins
tration democracy is not SO much against the
wings or against the free sellers, or against the
temperance party, or against all these com
bined, as it is against these new-fangled,
mysterious native Americans and their sup
posed political Affiliations with the remains of
the lac whig party. The cabinet spotlsmen in
Ohio and Pennsylvania are terribly frightened
trayed by the Ere OF their small orms and at
tiliery ON every side. Our adopted citizens,
especially the Irish Catholics, are the hereditary
allies Of the democracy. 1t is simply impossi-
BILE to turn them adrift, for that would require
a change in the Cabinet The only resource.
then, is q deadly war against the Know No
things The issue is thus distinctly joined in
Pennsylvania and Ohio, and the Cabinet de-
mocracy or the Know Nothings must according
ly be vanquished in those States in their forth
coming October elections. One or the other
must be dispersed.
And what will probably.be the result? We
are apprehensive that the democracy will be
routed. The spoils coalition and the spols
policy of the administration and its Kitchen
Cabinet dispensary, have, in the first place
dcmoralzed the democratic party in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio, as in other States. Secondly,
the Nebraska bill has opened Pandora's box
among them. Thirdly, the temperance alli-
ance is rather against them, for the antece-
dents of the fierce democracie" in Ohio
and Pennsylvania, as in New York and
everywhere else, do not run in the same chan
mel with the Maine liquor law. Lastly, the
inscriptions and shameless shifts and trick
and receptions by which the democratic spells
men have contrived to manage and CONTROL the
Irish Catholic vote, have naturally operated IT,
attract the pruning knife to the trimming out
of those abuses OF their caucuses, primary, and
regular elections. The basis Of the politica
action Of the Know Nothings is the displace
ment of the foreign vote from its present con-
trolling influence with the corrupt managers OF
our political elections. To this end, it begins
to be manifest that the Know Nothings and the
Temperance Alliance, to great extent, will
cooperate in the approaching fan elections,
especially in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
ha -
Nothing movement, we entertain no apprehen-
sions. The principles of the Declaration
Of Independence and of the federal consti-
tuition. will in good time, re-assert and re-as-
sumo their ascendency. The stampede ex-
! cited for the present, and the breaking up and
| dispersion of the old rotten machioery Of
our party politics will be q good thing.
The destruction Of the remaining fragments OF
the party of the spoils coalition OF Washington
| will be good thing. In this view we are quite
prepared for lasting defeat of the administra-
ton sToils democracy, not only in New York,
but in Ohio and Pennsy lvania, in the coming
fall election. But we have an abiding faith in
people. We have no fear that this Know
Nothing organization and excitement will ex.
tend to relentless and hereditary war between
Professionals and Catholics, and native aud
adopted citizens. The air will only be the
purer when the storm shall have blown over.
We are now experiencing the effervescence of q
general revolution, resulting from the corrup-
tions of party politics and political tricksters
and spoilsmen. The Know No.hings are but
an element in the work. But as Their princ-
Piles and doctrines clash with the political aud
religious equalities Of the constitution, this
terrible order win disappear with the "noise
and confusion" which have called it into ex-
istence.
In the mean time we can scarcely regret that
it is an admitted purpose Of the Know Nothings
to purge and to purify the democratic party Of
