would revolt were the experiment Of the sup
preston of individual opinions on the abstract
question Of slavery attempted upon them.
John Cocbrane is free soiler; John Van Buren,
was the first aid-de-camp OF the Buffalo noni-
nee in l848; and others among the leading
sachems of Old Tammauy, or conspicuous as
the latest of the Cabinet spollsmen, were Of
the Buffalo party, and are still full Of heresies
On the Nebraska question but they have COZ
sented to the latest Syracuse soft shell plat
form, and are thus good administration demo.
Gratis, even in Virginia. We insist that the
same general standard shall be applied to the
Know Nothings- that the party shall be judged
by its declared principles aud acts as a party,
and not by the abstract opinions OF an over
scrupulous or cratic member here and there.
In this view it is rank injustice to the Know
Nothings to compare them with the admiois-
tration New York free soil soft shells: for
while the latter, as party, have never wholly
abar doned their ami slavery notions, the
former have never exhibited as a party the
slightest variation from their ruling doctrine
of absolute Don.intervention on the slavery
question.
We suspect that the constitutional, conserva-
tive and honest people Of Virginia, like the
same classes every where else throughout the
country, disguised with the huckstering aad
corIuptions of the dirty secret cliques aud
juntas of The old political parties and sick Of
the jugglngs and trickery of Baltimore Coz
ventions, have quietly resolved, in espous-
ing the cause of the Know Nothings, to inaugu-
rate thorough going revolution from stem to
stern. 1t can do no harm, and may result in
much good. Simple idea, but perfectly ire
sistible. 1t was the idea which swept away
Van Buren, aud his spoilsmen in 1910, aud
which is destined to sweep away the corrupt
remains OF this second Van Buren regime in
1885,
Consequently, we are not surprised at the
rapid advances Of the Know Nothiugs in Vr-
ginia. According to our correspondents, they
are sure to put Mr.. Wise and the admi nistra-
ton h0rs du combat, whatever may happen in
New York; but If our Know Nothingsat Albany
can only contrive to hoist VIM. 81 Seward out
of the Senate, the new party in Virginia will
have nothing to do bat walk over the course
The last chance for Wise and the administra-
ton is in the reelection Of Seward. Curious
fact! Wise and Seward-Seward and Wise.
