Constitutional Clubs An Illustration Of III
Opposition,

VpPOshiVhs
The following, which we clip from the
New York Tribune, is not only an ilustra-
Iion Of the perfect manner in which the
K2ow-Nothings are organized, but it ex-
hibits tyranny and despotism hitherto
unexampled in our politics. The Tribune
says:
prior to the late election the Know
Nothing lodge at Lansingburg, Rensselaer,
county, had on its rolls the names Of two
hundred and ninety-eight members. These,
as we are credibly informed, were numbered
from No. !. to 29s inclusive, in the order
Of their admission into the lodge, and each
was provided with ballot for Ullman l.
Co., bearing bis own number both inside
and out, which ballot he was required to
deposit at an early hour, while sharp
eyed spy was deputed to stand at the poll
and check each vote as it came in, taking
care that the right man voted it. If any
one presented vote that did not bear its
proper number, he was stopped, and il any
man was behind at the hour when he ought
have voted, nimble committee was sent
after him. When the boxes were turned,
q committee stood ready to note every vote
as it was opened, and il No. l7s, or any
other number, did not happen to carry the
Hindoo nominees throughout, then No,
It's, or whomsoever was implicated by the
revelations was kicked out of the lodge
forthwith. 1t is possible that the above
may be incorrect in some particulars, but
in substance it is well Vouched for and un-
doubtedly correct.
I'VE ask those who have some notion of
liberty, and especially Of an unconstrained
suffrage, to ponder these facts"
If the above does not indicate the ne
ceSSity OF closer organization Of the De
mocratic party, il it would combat sue
cessfully such On efficient and despotical
faction as that which is now opposed to it.,
nothing can. We must have Democratic
constitutional clubs formed in every ward
and township in the state, and hope to see
the ball soon put in moticn.-The Tribune
makes the following very just comment up
on the fact above narrated:
'"The tyranny Of the caucus system was
never before so stringent as it is under the
denomination of the Know Nothings,
there were never before so many and such
gross knaveries perpetrated with regard to
an election as by the Know Nothings' in
our late canvass; and the free exercise of
the right Of suffrage was never more ham,
pered and invaded. II these things are
done in the green tree, what shall be done
in the dry?"
