MONDAY MORNING, JULY %, 1856.

03-Thc State Sentinel says, perhaps with
4 little nearer approximation to the truth
than is the custom of that journal, that the
invisible machinery of Know Nothingism
governed the Republican party of 1854, and
that the same machinery is destined to con-
troll that same party in the canvass of 1856
And we may add for their announcement.
that just as sure as old lineism was knocked
into fits in 1854, just so sure will they be
routed horse, foot and dragoon, in ffty-sir.
Ne10 Albany Tribune.
1t will be seen from the above that Mr..
GREGG acknowledges that the invisible ma
chinery of Know Nothingism controlled the
Fusion party of 1854, and that the same
chicanery is to govern the same party in the
canvass of 1856. We wish our readers to
stick a pin at this point.
The deduction drawn by the Tribune is by
no means plausible one. In the economy
of nature and in mathematics, Ike causes
are said to produce ike effects. This rule,
however, is not good or correct one in
politics. The fact that set of broken down
partizen hacks-the forlom monuments of
a demoralized but once hopeful organiza-
ton, and the repudiated reprobates and trick
sters of the only national party in our coun-
try, succeeded at one time in deceiving the
people and in controlling State election, is
no reason why the same men and the same
deception should meet with similar success
at another effort A large portion of the men
who voted with the Opposition, during the
late canvass, were honest in their convictions

people are rapidly opening their eyes to a
realization of the pitiable and degrading part
many of them have been made to play in
the unholy schemes of unprincipled dema-
gogues. The Know Nothing party has no
political principles. 1t was organized upon
the cry of anti-papacy, and built upon the
avowed design of prescription of foreigners.
The men, like MILTON GREGG and GEORGE
d. PRENTIss, who, in times past, have de-
clared it a principle of the Wing party, to
which they belonged, to extend every posi-
BILE immunity to those classes of our citizens,
were the first to embrace an organization
which promised to give themselves power and
place. Their former declarations were repu-
dated, and with the hope of enlarging the
arena of their action, Know Nothingism was
saught to be made National. Men of the
GREGG stamp swore they were for the Union
