The true Democrat., 1855-11-20
Opening their Ewes.


 Know Nothing orators, have denied and still deny, that their party has become abotioniz- ed in the north. We have known for some time, that their party in the north lad become abolitionized, and have published extracts from northern democratic papers, in which, such was declared to be the case. This having failed to convince the Know Nothings hereabouts, we will make extracts from few Know Nothing Know Nottingham, i'll which they acknowl- edge, that the northern wing of their party has become abolitionized. The Washington Or gan, the national organ of the Know Nothings thus di3courses, since it has opened its eyes:
 "THE PENNSYLVANIA ELECTIoN.-The re- turns indicate democratic gain and an Ame- rcan loss in the city of Philadel phia. For this We were perfectly prepared. If the Americans of Pennsy lyania choose to repudiate the prnci- pies of national harmony, and commit their fortune to the miserable craft of abolition, patched up by such tricky workmen as Will son, Johnson & Co.,, they cannot expect the sincere friends of the Union and reform to 1n- tnue in their company. Thousands have either pdSScu lIlIO luC uculCCidtiC UT are standing in indignant neutrality, amidst frau duent war of faction, no one of which can claim much precedence in rascaity over its com pnttors.'
 The Wheeling Times, another strong Know Nothing paper, thus confesses:
 PENNSYLVANIA ELEcTIoN.-The democra- tic party, whether it fused with the liquor n- tuence or not, has trumphed i'll Pennsylvania. We are American in teeling--we affiliate with the party because we believe foreign influence Is dangerous to the interests of our country.- But whenever men protesting American prin- clples i'll any section, go after strange gods and fuse with sectionaiists of any kind, for the sake of apaltry triumph, we, for one can ne yer rejoice at their success, or feel one regret if they suffer defeat. When Pemsy Ivania Anne. ricans sell out to Johnson & Co.,, and repudiate the Philadel phia platform, in their defeat they have no light to expect sympathy from the conservative Union element of the party"
 The Baltimore Clipper, one of tie most rabd and rampant Know Nothing papers in the country, says:
 PENNSYLVANIA AND OHIo.--Pennsylvani ia has undoubtedly gone, by large majority, in favor of the anti American party. There may have been various causes to produce this re- suit, which 1t is not necessary to investigate. It is sufficient to know that the State is lost to the Americans. In Ohio, the probability Is, that the democratic candidate for Governor has been deeated--but If so, 1t Is a defea of no ad : vantage to the American party, the election of the ultra-abOliGonist, Chase cannot be con- silered an American victory. Indeed, the com bination of abolitonsts with the Know Noth- ings, has been most glorious injury to the lat. ter. In Massachusetts, where this combna- tion succeeded, the Legislature passed some acts offensive to all friends of the Union; and such may be the case in Ohio, should the Chase party succeed. He is known to be a rabid abo- litionist, and "higher law man, who would disregard the eX ress injunctlons of the consti. tution in order to facilitate the escape of slaves from their owners. He would no doubt favor the passage, by the Legislature of Ohio, of a law similar to that abominable act passed by Massachusetts, and against which the best pa triots of the State are protesting In fact, if the free States take the ground assumed by the Legislature of Massachusetts, the Union cannot endure in peace. We have no hesitation in saying, that we should prefer Medill, (demo- crat) to Mir. Chase as Governor of Ohio-for we do not believe that the former would seek to have measures passed which would leopard the Union, whilst we have not the least confidence in the Americanism or patriotism of tho latter. The man who will do aught to disturb the har- mony of the Union, is not to our taste, and we would not vote for him for any responsible s- tuation-for we go for the constitution and the Union in opposition to all assailants.'
 Are the Know Nothings of Arkansas, now convinced, that their party has become abol- tlonized in the north?
