False Authority 1.-The Harrisburg Union

The following paragraph is taken from an editorial
article in recent issue OF the Vnig:
The Harrisburg Union, a leading Democratic or
gan of Pennsylyania, and Journal in high favor
with the Democratic party ali the country, thus
expresses its sentiments-and We invite particular
attention to them:
:, We some days ago referred to tho probable re-
suit OF the coming election in Virginia, and the COIL
clusion we then came to is strengthened by recent
Developments II cannot be disguised that the peo-
pie Of Virginia are running pel neil into Know
Nottingham, aud the only reason we can assign for
such is the hope OF killing Free Soilism stone
dead. Virginia will go knowNothing beyond all
doubt, and this result will produce new feature in
politics. The Presidential contest will then be Free
Soilism and Democracy versus Pro- Slavery, Know
Ntohingsm and religious persecution. In such a
contest, we should not be surprised to see Mr. Sew
ard, most prominent man in the Union, as a can
didate for the Presidency and thousand OF the hes
men in the nation standing on the same platform
with him."
This language of sleading Democratic organ" i
paraded by the opposition press Of the State, proc
| of an imaginary antagonism between know Moth
iIn,gism and Aboltionism. As we cannot suspect tn
Wing OF deliberate purpose to practice deception
must conclude that it is itself the victim Of mpo
siton. The Harrisburg Union is not lin high favor
with the Democratic party. On the contrary, it is
in the interest OF Simon Cameron, the Know 9th
ing nominee for Senator in Pennsy vania, and is en-
played as the secret instrument Of the Know-Not
ing party. gentleman of the highest character in
Phiadelpha-a Nirginian by birth and Of distn-
guished name in this State in letter the editors
OF the Enquirer, thus discredits the authority OF the
Harrisburg Union /:
60 see that the Wing quotes the ITarrieburg Union
as sound Democratic paper, and endeavars toms Ike
an argument in favor of Know Sohngism out OF
certain admissions contained in editorial publish
ed in tho Union. have but little doubt the editl-
rial in question was written with this view. The
proprietor of the paper is Geo. Lauman, (believed
to bs Know Nothing,) and the intimate conhden-
tial friend o. Simon Cameron, who was a Know
Nothing candidate or Senator"
