FOLLY OF KNOW NoTHINGIsM.
From the Wisconsin Free Democrat, Nov I.

FROM The Wisconsin Free Democrat, Nov. Is.
Look at the folly of the Know Nothing move
ment in this State. One-third of the voters OF
Wisconsin are of foreign birth. These are ar
rayed, as one man, against the Know Nothing
party. Now, it requires but One-sirM of the
native born, in addition to the adopted citizens.
to make one-hdlf of the voters of this State.
But the Know Nothings cannot, by any posi-.
billty, induce onethird of the native born citi-
zens OF the State to join them. We do not be-
heve they can one tenth. And if they could, il
would De a sad commentary on the Republican.
ism and Christianity Of our people, And the
fact that SO many protesting Christians lend
their countenance to the movement is a re-
proach to religion, and shows how feeble is the
influence of Christianity in the Church.
Or course, such party has not the ghost of
chance to obtain the reins Of Government in
Wisconsin. 1t can never do any good here. Il
has power only for mischief. 1t will engender
animosties, religious and political, which may
not be allayed for years. 1t may divide the
forces of intelligent men, and leave the State a
prey to demagogues. Politically, its only effect
is to give power to the Slave Democracy of the
country, and to perpetuate the reign of Slavery.
The passage Of the Kansas Nebraska bill
shocked the moral sentiment of the North, and
prepared the way for great Freedom party, in
which should be gathered all the sincere oppo-
nents Of Slavery aggression. But the Know
Nothing party steps in, and just as the contend
ing forces are organizing and drawing up in or.
der of battle, it interferes, and says the battle
shall not be fought on freedoms side till the
question is settled in regard to each soldier,
where he is born and what is his religion. And
If he IS not native and Protestant, he must
be dismissed from service, and drummed out
of Camp in DISGRACE and comnalied To ;o;n tb n
enemy. But for the Know Nothing party, the
Republican party would now be victorious in
every Northern State save California, and there
would be no hope of another Slavery President
The Know Nothing movement is perfect God
send to the Slave Power-the only device that
promises to save the Slave party from an utter
overthrow at the next Presidential election.
The Sham Democracy Of this State have used
it to defeat the Republican party of Wisconsin,
and will use it to defeat the Republican party
of the Union. Shall the plot succeed?

THINGS IN CONNECTICUT.

From the Hartford tConn) Republican.
There is but one way to defeat the Sham De-
mocracy in this State next Spring, and that is
for all the enemies of the Isaac Toucey Democ-
racy TO unite. 1t need not be on one set of
candidates for State officers, for plurality does
not elect IN Connecticut, except In the case of
Representatives and Senators. There NAV be
Republican candidate, Know Nothing ditto.
and even Straight Wing, (say Col. Hazard,
the patron Of the Meriden TFanscript)-this
will perhaps be the best course to pursue. so
that In the aggregate a much larger vote will
be polled than the Democratic. Then, of course,
the Legislature must choose from the two high
est candidates, and the Democratic will lose the
game. That is, he will, if the Know Nothings
act fairly in the town elections of Representa-.
hves. If they in the different towns insist upon
running, IN all cases, none but Know Nothings ;
in other words, if they prescribe those of US who
are not of them, they will most surely be beat
en-, and we hope they will. Connecticut cannot
be carried by the Know Nothings alone. 1t is
but fair, them for them to recognise their friends
who act with them. They must not refuse to
take up Republican candidates in all cases, be-
cause they are not Know Nothings. We speak
the mind of many of the Anti Slavery Demo
Gratis of the State in this matter. They are
willing to do almost anything to prevent the
reelection of Isaac Toucey to the United States
Senate, but they will not, even to do that, con-
sent to be themselves prescribed. No man will.
lt behooves the Know Nothings to remember
this. We know some of them, at least, who are
disposed to behave magnanimously manfuly;
but whether the party will be guided by their
counseis or not, we wait for time to determine.
