Our County Tlrkct-The end Of it.

The X knON-nOthlngS III anu arounu Olyb
pia are, as far as the democratic portion O
them is considered, pretty well if not en-
tirely blown up, and the wigwam abandon
ed by them. We have known-have beer
familiar with their proceedings here for
month past. We knew there were SOME
good democrats, as heretofore intimated
who had been led into the order by false
representations, and for the use Of the op
position. We knew, too, and We regretted
extremely, that some of our democratic
nominees were in the order. These we
could not then support except as we are in
duty bound to do, as democrats. We
could not give them that hearty support
that we felt like giving TO the balance Of
the ticket, and we could not discriminate
without an exhibition of fragrant yet just
partiality on our part We were cramped
and crippled. Our awkward position would
not permit us to do justice to that portion
of the ticket, that had right to expect
from us an earnest and hearty support
OF this, complaint was made, but not by
those who were most entitled to make it.
We felt then, aud still feel conciousness
of right which would not allow us to give
an inch. Now It is with the most unfeign-
ed pleasure and qualification that we an
nounce to the democracy and to the public,
on what we believe to be unmistakable tes.
timony, that the members of our ticket
have withdrawn from that order with
but two exceptions. In other words we
would say, that the candidates for repre-
sentatives, Messrs. Baker, Rutledge, Cham
hers, Weed, and howe, are not at this time,
if they ever have been, members of the order
Of ,Knew-nothings, or any other secret or
political oath-bound order or organiza-
ton of any name whatever in this terri
tory, and we urge upon the democracy to
give them ali earnest and hearty support
Let the democratic party now unite to
root out the Know-nothiugs, and to give
that order, fused as it now is with whig-
gerry Waterloo defeat in this county, at
the approaching election. The baleful in
fuence of the organization has been seen
all over our country, and felt sorely in our
midst. All who have observed this inHu-
ence must have seen that the triumph of
the order, secret and dark as it was, must
have led TO total and utter destruction
of all confidence between man and man.
Its tendency was to generate hypocrisy,
to legalize deceit, and justify falsehood.--
Morally, It was the darkest and most ruin
Gus organization ever established in our
country, for the deprivation and degreda
tion of mankind. Politically,it 1t was poi
son more deadly and destructive to tho
principles and life Of our government, thar
all the standing armies of Europe, on, oul
shores, under the command Of a despOt
controlling the destinies Of the balance o.
the world. ~
1t affords the highest qualification tC
witness how the people of the Pacific coast
generally, have crushed the demon in it
infancy, and it is the surest evidence o.
their political intcgrity-their devotion tC
democratic principles-their attachment
to our republican institutions, and their ca
pacity for selfgovernment; for the serpent
never tempted Eve more alluringly than
did this wonderful order, elegantly clothed
in the purple robes Of mystery, the hon
est aspiring npd unsuspecting politicians
throughout our land. Nor did Capt. Kidd
ever tell smoother tale to brother pi-
rate than did the wilful follower Of Sam
to his kindred outside. We all have seen
and know these to be facts Then we re.
peat, to see "Sam" crushed in his infancy
here, is high eulogium upon the fidelity,
faithfulness and patriotism of our people.
And we are proud, too, extremely proud,
to see the gentleman, "the ubiquitous Sam, !"
(as the New York Herald has it, receive
his death blow in our midst. This we are
satisfied he has received. The democracy
have Withdrawn, and the old line wings
will, we believe, follow their example. All
the candidates for representatives save one,
(aud we speak by the recOrd,) have dis
solved their connection with the order
We will pay our respects to the fusion 2
ticket next week. a.a"
