Elections North.
Out of nearly column OF densely stated
FACTS in our issue of Friday morning, bearing
upon the position of Northern Know Nothings
on the slavery question, the Union selects two
or three for comment-we will see with what
snocess. The Union admits that some of the
man turped out to make room for American
Oonoressmen elect. were freesoilers. We
showed that they were nearly all freesollers or
something as bad. But it says ''the important
fact" is not stated by US, that 1.-THE Know
Nothing successors of the defeated Candidates
are rank aboltionists." No, and we have never
seen any proof of the existence OF any such
important fact as that here asserted. II the
Union has the record proof let it be produced
We have shown from the record, that some
of the American Congressman elect are sound,
national conservative men. The Union says
Harry Hibbard of New Hampshire voted for
the Nebraska Kansas bill, and was not cad-
date for reelection. Then the Americans are
relieved from the sin, if sin it be, of beating
lin. But the Union does not deny that his
freosol career in the New Hampshire Legisla-
ture. was as we stated. Here is specimen"
of the Unions facts exceedingly rich:
'sThe True Wig states that Governor Gardner Of
Massachusetts,, has evinced his conservative char
acter In yetoing the bin to remove Judge Loring.
Now, the True Wing knows that Gov. Gardner Gp-
proved tie bill m,a.Jying tie fugitive SLAVE lac IN
Massachusetts" &C.
MorL Tho nosit;va assertion that Gov Gard.
ner "apprOved the bill multiplying the fugitive
slare lac IN Massachusetts, This is not true
On the contrary, it is notorious that Governor
Gardner did NOT "approve the bill multiplying
the fugitive slave law in Massachusetts,
known there as the Personal Liberty" bill, ]
but met it as he met the bill TO remove Judge
Loring for faithful execution of the fugitive
slave law, with firm and patriotic exercise Of
the retO pOVer! A telegraphic despatch at the
time, says:
"BosroS, May 81

The National IRtoiiigehesr, whose record Of
