Oar correspondent informs US that of the fifty
candidates for county officers, only nine nomi-
nally Democrats anu part of those sore-heads.
Let the Democrats who still belong to the order,
look at these nominations carefully before they de-
eide to support them.
Every Governor elected by the Know Nothings
is freesoiler or abotonist and the enemy of the
fugitive slave law. Other facts bearing upon this
subject are condensed by the Washington Union,
which says, that there is not single prominent
democrat in the North known as the advocate of
the constitutional rights of the States who is not
the avowed and persistent enemy of the know
nothing party.
That of all those elected TO Congress by the
know nothings Of Massachusetts,, every one is CON-
nitted to the most ultra abolition doctrines.
That of all those elected to Congress in New York
by the know-nothings, they either the warm
friends of Mr. Seward, or they were the active and
INSCRIPTIONS adyersaries Of the Nebraska bill.
That there is not wing elected in Ohio by the
know nothings, land the delegation elected to the
new Congress from that State is wing with two or
three exceptions,) there is not that does not
second and support the doctrines Of the extreme
abolition leaders.
That in Michigan every wing chosen has been
elected by the know-nothings, and is the pledged
opponent of the South, and the pledged adversary
of the doctrine of admitting more slave States, is
fact beyond disputation.
The same may be said OF Pennsylvania, Indiana,
Wisconsin and Illinois. These allegations may be
defended and established by names and antece-
dents
Take next the friends of the constitutional rights
of the South who have been defeated in the north
by the know nothing organization. In Maine we
have seen the veteran Paris, consistent national
democrat, defeated by the candidate of TIE know
nolhings and abolitionists John M. Wood. In
Michigan, that fearless and out spoken advocate of
nationality, Hon. David Stuart has been defeated by

overcome by the motto rious abolitonist and know
nothing, Galloway. IL Pennsy lvania, Hendrick
B. Wright, Charles Shalear, w. Montgomery and
other avowed advocates of national doctrines, have
been defeated by the candidates of the know moth
ings and the abolitionists. In New Jersey DR..

Indiana, Messrs. Durham, John G. Davis, Hen
bricks Eddy, and others, all devoted friends Of
State rights, have been succeeded by abolitoniss'
elected by the know-nothng vote.
1t is true that in some cases anti-Nebrasks men
have been defeated, but the South will bear in mind
that in every such two things have been proved:
First, that the anti-Ne5raska element (though not
the abolition elemenD has been lost sight OF, and
that every anti-Nebraska man who has been defeat
ed has been, with very few exceptions, succeeded
by rank and apatical abolitionistil
So that know nothingism, if it has done one thing
more than another, has s,Oeled tie ranks of abol-
tio1isna IN the NORTH and has added largely to the
poacer and tie Oryanizatan of the aboitonists in
Congress
If the gallant and courageous Senator Dodge is
defeated in Iowa, it will be by know-nothing votes.
If the notorious W. F. Johnston, of Pennsylva-
nia or the no less decided and committed enemy of
the South Robert T. Conrad, OF the abolition lead
er, David Wimot, i3 chosen TO the United States
Senate by the legislature of that State, know-noth-
ing votes will do the work.
General Shields, if defeated for reelection in the
Illinois legislature will owe that defeat to the COM
bned forces of know-nothingism and abolitionisu.
Let the issue of mo more slave States" be made
upon the next Congress, and the South will see
how much it has gained by the fusion between know
nothngism and aboitonism. We shall then be-
hold such an array of fanacism in the national leg
islatures has never before been equalled And to
this fanaticism who will oppose themselves? We
answer, the true national democracy in Congress,
and the united South. Nothing can prevent this |
latter result but the adoption by the southern poo
pie, misled by ambitious leaders, of know nothing
representatives and know-nothing doctrines.
Let not the people of the South believe for mo-
ment that because the fusion have sent manv |
new men from the North into the next Congress,
