cause for alarm in the violent pro-slavery ground
assumed by the South. We quotes
"The issue is being made everywhere The
Southern Know Nothings are impelious, dictatori-
nj, and unyelding. Their brethren at the North
cannot yield to them. They cannot cease to agi-
tate the question Il will not down at their bid
ding. What then Why, the matter is nearly
settled in our mind--that with aid from the Order
in New York--and they arc quite strong for the
South in New lork--wth California entire, Doug
lass wing in Illinois, and portion Of Ohio and
New Jersey also entire, the South will carry all be-
fore them In the Grand Councils, in nominations,
and in erecting platforms.
But will the South succeed viii they still make
Slave territory Of free, and extend the institutions
at their pleasurel 1t now looks rs IL they would.
We sec but one way Of escape. That Is, for all Mt
the North, who love FREQ principles, to unite-eavc
oil orders and parties-and go together for free
State and true man for President, and Congress-
men Of like faith The great Anti-Ncbraska vic
tory Of last fall will DO lost fear, unless this is
done. Let men ponder well the signs. They are
omnous Of evil"
The Rutland Herald, in giving correspondent
its reasons for saying so much more about OK.
Nism." now, than IL has done heretofore, says -
events have occurred, and X. Nism may now
be judged by its fruits. It cannot be National
affair, inastnuch the question Of Slavery over
rides it, and all other political questions. At the
North, II must be strong, and unwaycriDg Anti
slavery, party, or It cannot secure the sympathy
of the people, and the support Of honest men. It
must be Ant-Slavery or die young, and die UNI
mourned. In Massachusetts, X. Nism gave triumph
TO Ant-slavery sentiment, without furnishing
brains enough to manage that power efficiently
and honorahy IL did not create the Anti-slavery
sentiment II only took advantage Of its existence.
But, whatever il docs there, ii is thoroughly Anti
slavery. In New Hampshire, it has done its most
noble, and truly blessed work. K Nisn has done
for New Hampshire what nothing else could do. 1t
has broken down the old strong holds of pro-sayc-
ry and ocofocoism. 1t has routed hunkerdom eff
fectullly. II deserves everlasting praise for what
it has done in that State"
The Orleans County Gdseite, after sweeping the
political horizon with his horoscope, presents the
following summary as the indication of the "sgus
Of the times'' -

the Slavery question is and must be for the present.
the great question Of the day, far transcending in
magnitude all Know-Nothing, or any other mere
party notons-that it eaHRof be ignored
II Is Hkely-and very soon, toto smash Into
fragments the Know Nothing party, as it already
has done the old parties-and that the action of

to this all-absOrbing question. 1t must and lciH
