THE NEW ALLY OF ABOLITION.

THE NEW ALLY OF ABOLITION.
The unity of Abolitionism and KnowNoihi''s''"'
in the Northern States, ia no longer queS'''"
which politicians may dispute, but is stern gu.
rible reality which the people should pr,p ;,.e,,
counter. Just a. the country is cong oho.
on the subsidence Of agitation, and inc ~ ,dIo tb
litionsm comes this secret Order ~ ,ou
fame Of sectional strife aud 10 f'"'' n-.o
tho son,, with fresh energy and more deauiy
R,s,en in fnir fight on the open neiu' Noo'' ..,.
ho,o. ., ros,ors il, fortunes by renewing tne o"''',
,I.. 800. of darkness and with the advantages o
,,...;.. And We must confess that so tar'
ba, been employed with signal success
m,. ,,,, agency of Know -Nothngism, the Abolition
s. have recovered their asccnduncy in Massachusetts,
and thence hurl nsolent defiance against the South
In New York in Michig an, in Ohio and in Indiana
they have achieved the same triumph over TIC con-
servative Democracy. And III pennsylvania 'oo-u
State which, above every other Northern STATE mas
been conspicuous for its devotion to the constitution
and the Uuon-in Pennsylvania the Aboliti"nsis
have at Inst risen to power by the instrumentaly OF
Know Nohingism
The struggle of the Democracy of Pennsylvania
against the combined forces of the Wings, Abolition
lists and Know No,hings, however gallant was una
vailing. y kmowNothins AboiitoniSt-"h'G was
elected to the Governorship; and the depIoraoe con-
sequences Of the event, distinctly iore'h"do".d
in his inaugural address. The "retur'nat"h ol INC
Naturalization laws; the enactment oi fro'cc'Nc
Tariff Improvement OF Rivers and linrbors; I"
prohibitorv LIQUOR Law and the restoration 0
the Missouri restriction, ure among the mea-
surcs suggested in the inaugural address Of Gov
nd
both PROSTATE in Pennsy ylvunia, until they concluded
all alliance with Know Nothiugsn and no" all 'hree
are r;otpr in the excess of power the one proposing
return TO The most odious measures OF Federal Poey
the other the renewal Of the war against the rights
| of Tho South and the last enforcing ia threats oi
nro.crpton against the foreign-born citizens OF the
rspublic. The Richmond Wing may attempt TO prove
that its Nothing allies in the North, are hostile
10 the revival of the antslavery agitation, but its
specious fabric of sophstry ia knocked into atoms
by the simple statement, that crery man get ciechfG
10 office Of any sort, in any State BY The h"0~-No-
thing party has shorn himself to BE- rto'cnt onc"'
Of the South, and, whSre rs P1ss'bc, mas '""'f"-
TED fresh assaults upon its rights and '"stfut'o"$-
We challenge contradiction of this proposition; ana
being undcniably true. it should awaken the utmost
concern among the people Of the South.
Democrats of Virginia, do YOU want restoration
Of Wig measures and lihig po''cy' Then Ike
pennsy vaniu, Install the Know.Nothings int" power
| and YOU may have n Governor who will pronounce
in favor Of Protective Tariff and Internal Improve
pents by the Federal Government. Patriots OF 'ir-
,inis, would you invite aggression on the rights OF
the South, and multiply the forces Of the Abolition
lists beyond all possibility OF resistance Then a''s
in inconsoHdating the power OF Know -NoihnSism.
