IT., Vasib,gns.-The Mt. Carroll
fMainel Republican, referring to the "prom-
; ,sinr family of washburns in the next
J Congress, Israel, from the Bangor district Of
that State, Elihu, from the Galena district IN
Illinois, and Cadwsllsder, from the Mineral
Point district Of Wisconsin, SAYS
"Therc is another brother in California
T who promises well, and il is not unlikely
, that be will join the other three before the
lapse of many years. How many more
, there are Of the family who will make them
selves known in the world, we are not
advised. Printers have professional pride
in honors achieved by this family Of states
men. They are all members of the craft
printers BY trade. The representative IRON
this district, in the excitement OF politics,
has not forgotten how to use the stick and
rule. While on visit here during prevl-
: ous canvass, he gave "our boys" an
J illustration of his familiarity with type. or
course he is their candidate for the next
Presidency. We hope that they will win"
.Sepere Gale at Gmiidltail.-The Coos De-
moral, published at Lancaster, N. H., in
speaking Of the severe gale that accompanied
the snow storm Of the 4th and 9th instant,
gives the following items Of damage done at
Guildhsl and the vicinity;
AT three o'clock on Monday morning a
furious northwest wind, amounting 10 almost
a hurricane, came down upon them through
the valley.
The bridge across the Connecticut, cover
cd. and three hundred feet in leugth. was lit
orally lifted up and set down upon the river
below, where it furnishes convenient cros-
sing place for foot passengers. A portion
of its roof, more than twenty feet long, was
driven by the great force Of the wind up into
the road in front Of the dwelling house of
Charles Bellows, Esq.
The saw mill Of Mr.. Bellows was unrooied
That OF Mr.. James c. Hall, on the Vermont
side, had all the windows and sky lights
blown in and otherwise damaged.
A birch stick seven OF eight feet long and
some 10 by 30 inches, was blown from Bel
lows mill yard, up the side hill to the middle
Of the road at good distance above.
On both sides Of the river, shimneys were
blown down, windows broken in and fences
overthrow in abundance. A shed of Chas
Woods was blown down. So was the barn
connected with the jail at Guldhall. The
shed and backroom connected with the store
at Guildhall. lately occupied by S. Hubbard,
was nearly destroyed. The damage to the
bridge alone, is estimated at $4,000. Our
friends above us had good reason TO be alarm
ed and many of Them betook themselves very
properly for protection, to their cellars"
The american Organ [of the X. N. at
Washington, states anew and more clearly,
the great reason why the Know. Nothings
are opposed to Mr.. Seward. We copy from
that paper of Wednesday:
ave have much stronger grounds Of OPP
position to Mr.. Seward than his non-concur-
renee in our views on the question Of foreign
ism. Mr. Seward has not taken the front
rank among our opponents on thus last named
question. Others have taken the front seats
on this question, and have continually belched
forth fire and fury upon us, rs intolerants,
&c, Mr.. Stewards allies, Pierce, Forncy, and
the editors Of The Richmond Enquirer and
Pennsylpanidn, occupy higher seats than Sc
ward on this question, had we no other
reasons. And here let us ask The Tribune
of what avail would il be TO change the laws
Of naturalization, or to repeal them, if the
Union is to be destroyed by such men as Sc
ward, Chase, and Sumner? If, at the seine
time that we get rid Of the evils of foreign
influence and of indlscrlmlnate foreign i'm
migration, we cannot preserve the Union
aud render it perpetual, what do we gain
The Tribune mistakes the mission Of the A.
merican party, whose destiny Is not only ,o
remedy the evils resulting from foreign votes
and influence, bud 10 annihiiaie that class Of
american demagognes icho seek The destruction
Of the Federal Union."
The american Organ has heretofore de.
cared that the policy Of the Know. Nothings
is not to discuss the Slavery question, but
to leave the States to deal with it as they
may see fit But if that is the case, how hap
pens it that war 10 made on Mr.. Seward be
cause he is opposed to Slavery, and TO III
extension over the new Territories Is no
this engaging very decidedly in the agitation
of Slavery, aud th.s the -" Si."a-,- ID
, If the Native American party chooses to b.
neutral on this great subject, very well lie
it il it can. At any rate, such neutral posi-
tion can only be secured by toeratiDg tn
Q widest differences Of opinion between north
ern and southern members of the Ordei
u This, however, is not done. The Order
: not neutral, but openly and avowedly Pro
Slavery. AS we see in the above extract /

: well as Mr.. Seward, on the absurd and oh
solete ground that they are seeking the dis
solution OF the Union. In word the Know
