Correspondence OF Inc N l. ItDunt'
Boston, Thursday, June II, 1855
The news of the division of the Know Nothing
Council at Philadelphia, and the secession of the
Northern delegates, is received here with very
general delight. / think the great body of Mas
sachusetts Know-NothiDgs will back mp Wilson.
Foster and others, and if they do they will GER
tanly hold their supremacy in the State-that
is, the power of the State will continue in their
hands, though they may change their party des-
ianation and become " Know-SOmethings," or
Republicans.
Our politicians are already looking about
them in anticipation of the Fall campaign. Sew
eral coalitions are talked Of and various queer
conferences have lately been held with a view to
form an effective combination against the Know
Nothipps One of these coalitions proposes to
unite all the Hunkers of all grades and shades into
a party against Anti-Slavery and the Maine Law,
with the idea of repeating the Personal Liberty bill
and the Prohibitory Liquor bill. Democratic.
Hunkers of The Post stripe-llallett, Wales, Grls-
void, and others; Wing Hunkers who believe in
The Boston Conrier-as the Curtises for example;
Know Nothing Hunkers-like Pierce, NOse, and
Hiss are expected 10 join and be supported by the
entire liquor interest Serious efforts have really
been made to form this combination and W lillian
Appleton of Boston and Isaac Davis OF Worcester
both men of great wealth and responsibility"
one Wing and the other Democrat have been
named as its candidates for Governor and Lieuten-
ant-Governor Both Dir. Appleton and Mr.. Davis,
however, have too much sense to be likely to risk
their political fortunes any such desperate move
as that There is no huX known In our political
chemistry that could fuse together such materials
as have named, and even were IT possible 10 COM
bine them they would not be strong enough to ei-
r H. lora Nf Mas
counting in everything from Halett to Hiss-do
NOT number 20 900 voters, while there are more
than 1907 coo liberal voters. So that plan won't
work.
Another proposed coalition for which also con-
ferences have been held between the chiefs OF diff
ferent sections tons, is an Anti knoW-Noth
ing and moderately and tocity Antl-Maine Law one.
The elements relied on to form this combination
are the &c, 600 Wings who voted for Washburn for
Governor, the liberal portion of the $4,000 Demo
Gratis who voted for Bishop, the 5000 Free-Soilers
who are not Know-Nothings, and as many discon-
tented Know-NOthngs as can be induced TO JON
This party would he Anti-Slavery, but would make
the REDEMPTION of the State from Sam its prime
object The candidates talked OF are Peeg W.
Chandler of Boston, ami Julius Rockwell OF Pitts
field both Wings of liberal principles and popular
character The difficulties in the way of this com
bination are .heSe. First, of the 10000 Wings
who voted for Washburn majority have since the
election become either knOW-NOthlngs or Know
Something's chiefly the latter. They are conse-
quentlv either friendly to sam or have fixed upon
another mode of opposing him than that contem-
plated BY the friends OF Messrs. Chandler and
Rockwell Secondly, the Democrats are precisely
in the same condition as the Wings. Thirdly, the
Fee Soilers are also in the same condition only
more So Those who are not know-Nothlngs are
nearly all Know. Something's. and the few who are
neither look with favor and hope TO the Know
Something organization wh.chis growing with great
rapidity. Wilson, Burineamc, Swift, Slack, Al
word and other leading Free-Solers are know
Something's Foster, the head of the hnOw-Noth-
inc Order in this State is a Know. Something. and
