leading to them being unorganized and undigesed,
1T will require much time and many efforts to mould
and harmonic them into consistent and homo

At the present time there is a strong tendency
among the to quit old parties abandon an
cent standards and construct parties new creeds
and new standards. We have lately seen various
plans for new political organizations proposed in
newspa pers from various sections of the country
inns dlsposlon to form parties has been brought
about by the sudden appearance and rapid growth of
the know-Nothngs. The opponents of this order,
scattered throughout the country, and thus far de.
MED the opportunity of consultation, and of consen-
taneous action have started different societies in diff
ferent places, all, however, having the same object in
view-the defeat of the secret society. But each of
these opposing parties makes membership a sine
qua to its support that candidate of one of
these organizations, though all of them have the
objects in view, could get the votes OF
the other kindred organizations than could a Know
Nothing.
From this it follows: that if those opposed to the
Know othings should divide themselves into sepa
rate parties bodies, with different rules and reou-
lations, and pledge themselves not to support anv

party or body, then their enemies the Know Moth.

A DISTINGUISHED WINGS OPINION OF FREE TRADE
The Burlington (Vt) Sentinel noticing the recent
address in that place of the Hon. Geo. 2, Marsh
late minister at Constantinope, refers TO his advoca
cy of free-trade. Like all New England Wings, he
has been a warm advocate of a protective tariff. Mr.
Marsh spoke of the tendency of the nations of the
Il globe towards free-trade. GA conviction of the
pediency and desirabieness of removing all restric
U tons upon commerce prevails almost universally
abroad. The people of Europe, he said would have
Custom Houses and tariffs abolished and governments
are gradually approximating the point of universal
= free trade. He had himself all knew, labored
earnestly in support of different policy, but he was
compelled to believe that the experiment would be
. tried, sooner later-that the day is coming when
trade will prevail the tU0rd OUer, at least very
