Work ior Know-No,hirss.
i he old adage that drowning men
catch at straws' is well illustrated in
the following item. The slavociats
1t seems, are relying upon Know Moth
ingism "to neutralize the antt-sia.erl
infuence.' They regard Know.
Nothingism as diversion, to divide
the friends of Frocdom-and so give
the victory to Slavery. The a;temp,
will undoubtedly be made, to USE
Know-Nothingism for this purpose
but there are two reasons why it should
fail. One is, that if Know Nothing,
ism is to become the prop of Slavery
it will itself be crushed. The Other
is, that the present Slavocratic Id.
ministration has arrayed itself agains
Know-Nothings, and as a matter O
course the Know-Nothings ought tt
know enough to help it on its down
ward way. But to the item-which
it will be observed, comes with all the
weight of authority direct from Wash.
ington, through a genuine organ O
the doughfaces,- Waterman.
TIE NEXT CoNGREss.-The pres
ent administration avows its hostilit,
to fanaticism, and all isms, and, in til,
long run, thy will therein be supper
ted by the public nse.-But the,
expect to be obliged to face the Who'll,
phalanx Of isn,s in the House of Rep
resentatives in the next Congress
ACKNOWLEDGMENT will have a stron.
foothold in that body, and will, to
great extent, neutralize the infuenc,
of the Anti-Slavery men. Know
Nothingism is not like tho other, ,
sectional mania Which will run GU
/, first is not worth the inquiry, but boil
will probably last long enough mate,
rally to effect the next Presidential
election. The next will be the Pres
ident-making Congress. They will
intermeddle, as usual, with the nomi.
nations, and also with the election
and it is extremely probable that tn,
final choice of a President will doyoly,
on the next House of Representative.
