Bear these Facts in Mind.

He who is politically oath-bound
can vote as he wills, he who 10 bound
by oath to vote according to the
direction of others, cannot.
Mark this: the know. nothings
and abolitionists had their origin in
the same portion Of the Union.
Mark this also: the men elected
by them to the Legislature Of free
States areabolitionists and freesoilers.
Be particular also to observe that
in the know-nothing platform, as it
appears in the papers in Tennessee
friendly to the order, there is not
syllable,a werd, nor sentence against
-abolitonism, nor in opposition to
catching and holding slaves from
their rightful owners.
Remember, that man may be a
freesoiler, and resist the fugitive
slave law, and by SO doing deprive
Southern men of their property and
yet be good know nothing. There
is not single sentiment in the plat.
form which says be cannot.

The New Russian Armament.

The New Russian armament.
The wellsinformed correspondent
Eof the New York Tribune, writing
under date OF March I'd, regards tie
recent decree of the late Car for
arming the peasantry Of Russia as "a
measure of immense importance. y
He says: - -
: "The force to be raised in slis way
has been limited by an ukase to one
million men. Ali the serfs able to
bear arms are to be drilled in-their
respective villages, by officers select
ed by the landlords, OF the landlords
themselves. The landlord proprietors
are frightened by this measure. They
remember the times Of Emilian Pug
atskoff. They know that year by
year,from sixty to seventy landlords
are killed by their dissatisfied subjects
and cannot bel;evethat the peasants
once armed drilled and made aware
Of their power and Importance will at
the end of the war lay down their.
arms without resistance, unless they
obtain important rights, perhaps the
abolition of serfdom granted by the
Gar. This armament is of course, q
measureof local distress,and therefore
it is hardly conceivable why the CEN
trail Province, remote from the seat of
war, should likewise have been called
to arms. The ukase excepts only the
Polish provinces which cannot be
trusted in spite Of Count Gurowski's
oftheir loyalty to the Gar.
The Austrian papers do not like this
lew scheme of the Russian Govern
nent, which will rouse the entire Nus
;ovite population, and imbue them
With a fanaticism which it will be diff
,ult to quell. Atany rate,the procla.
nation Of the Gear augurs no good for
he Peace Congress,and the Frankfort
Oder Post ANTS Zeitung, a semi.ofIi.
,ial paper connected with the Aus
rian foreign Office, now suddenly
,ereciyes that the new Vienna Con-
,ress may easily become a war Con.
,ress." -. -
