The Know Nothings OF the North-nIoveme nts
on the Slavery Question.
We published, some days ago, the inaugural
message OF Mr. Gardner the Know Nothing
Governor of Mass 0sets. Our readers will
remember that upon UAo Nebraska question he
betrays the wrath Of free soiler, and boldly
declares himself il favor of the restoration of
the Missouri compromise. We give to day an
extract on the slavery question, from the inau-
gural Of Mr.. Pollock, the Kaow Nothing Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, in which we are Inform
ed that Pennsylvania in her late cleo ion, has
repudated the Nebraska bill, re-atfirmed the
Missouri interdict and decreed radical moai-
fcation of the Fugitive Slave law, notwith-
standing which the Governor has no recon-
mendatioa to make upon the subject.

trouble concerning this gentleman, shows that
the Know Kothings of Massachusetts are aware
OF the importance of maintaining, as far as
possible in this Senatorial election, the attitude
ofnon-intervention upon the slavery question.
In these Know Nothing messages Of
Messrs. Gardner and Pollock, and in this no.
mination Of Wilson, there is a manifest dispo
sition to conciiate the free soil and ant-slavery
sentiment Of the North. Nor is it surprising
that this should be the case, considering the
fact that the Know Nothings entered int the
late elections side by side with the aati-slavcry
forces rallied throughout the North upon the
anti-Nebraska Juror. In the outset all great
revolutions are crude and encountered, more or
less, with iBcongruities and inconsistencies SO
this new party, from the throes OF parturition,
comes into the world somewhat lacking the
elements Of perfect symmetry and harmony
although the bantling possesses q vigorous
vital system, and all the requisites Of superior
manly strength. Now, the anti-Neoraska agi-
tation is dying out-the popular mind soon

And so, in Iowa, an anti-slavery wing has been
elected to the United States Senate, from the
support of the Know Nothings, in the place OF
Dodge, Nebraska administration democrat
Such combinations of anti slavery men and
Know Nothings have had in view the great OBJ

they. may be considered as the necessary prel-
minery steps in clearing tue track for the pro.

But, the administration and its spoilsmen
having been utterly demolished in the North
and the unti-Nebrhska excitement having thus
been appropriated by the Know Nothings to
good purpose, and this free coil agitation itself
having subsidized into comparative calm the
