From tbs Hartford ,Connl Republican.

The great Presidential campaign opens next
spring. Are our friends aware of this? Have
they thought of the immense importance of the
issues hanging upon it? Shall We have a North
ern Anti-Slavery President? Shall Kansas be
free? Shall Slavery Extension cease? Shall
the Southern Propagandists receive a mortal
blow? All hangs on the result of next years
election. Hon, then, can the North triumph 2
That's the question. Can a Northern Know
Nothing party elect President? Remember
that New York will join the fight divided. The
Know Nothing party there is, and will be, Pro
Slavery The friends of Freedom there, for that
reason, will hate the organization. How can
we expect them to join New England Know
Nothing party to elect President? In many
of the Western States, the ma ority Of Anti-Sla
very voters have kept aloof from the Order.
Will they Join it to elect President? We can
scarcely expect it. Then, there is the Know
Something Order already counting its tens Of
thousands of members. Will they take up a
Know Nothing Presidential candidate? Re
member, friends, that an Anti-Slavery President
cannot be elected without fusion, a complete
union of all the Anti-Slavery forces. Know
Nothings, Know Something's, Republicans,
Free Democrats, and Wings, must all work to-
gether, or the battle will be lost. In view of
this fact, we ask every candid man if it is not
nOp our duty to establish Union Republican
party? Can we succeed without it? There
must be concessions, not of principle, but of
prejudices. We must join forces, and carry the
Union for Freedom. Salmon p. Chase, William
Fl. Seward, or some such man, can be elected
the next President of the United States, if the
Northern freemen will but unite heartily and
enthusiastically.

THE THING NEEDED.
From the Independent IN. HI Democrat


In the same spirit of conoiliation, liberality,
and devotion to the common liberty and COM
mon veal, which has been crowned with the
glorious successes of the year just closed must
all the opponents of Slavery Aggression go,
shoulder to shoulder, into the struggles of the
year to come. In that spirit must q Presiden-
tial standard bearer be selected, and borne tri-
umphantly into the chair made illustrious by
Washington and Jefferson.
Is any party, as now organized, equal to this
thing? Is the Free Soil party? Is the "late
Wing party?" Is the American party? No;
none of them. AS distinct organizations, they
are all insufficient for the great work that is to
be done. The people are sufficient, and only
the people. To them must we appeal; on them
must we rely. The party that shall save the
country and its liberties from the engulfng tide
of Slavery Aggression must be the Peoples
party, and must be broad enough and liberal
enough to receive all the friends of Freedom
and Free Government, of whatever name, race,
or cline. 1t must have no shbboleths that
shall exclude the good and true from its ranks.
Such is the party that must be organized,
and that must carry the next Presidential cleo
ton, if the encroachments of Slavery are ever
to be stayed. If there was ever reason to hope
for any great good at the hands of the Ameri-
can party. as heretofore organized, the platform
just adopted at Philadelphia blasts that hope
forever. Upon the rock where Whigery and
Democracy split, has Americanism gone down.
Whatever of good it was destined to do, it has
done. AS separate organization, its mission
is finished. Like its predecessors, it must give
place to purer and truer organization, where
in dwelleth the spirit of LIBERTY.

A NEW VIEW.

CAsTrNE, DARKE Co., o., May 10, 1855.
The harmony which has heretofore existed in
the Masonic fraternity is likely to be broken
The question is asked, can q Know Nothing
brother recognise his fellow brother (who has
been so unfortunate as to be born in foreign
country as brother, according to the obhga.
tions he has taken? 1t is also alleged, that if
a brother Mason is unfit to hold any Office of
"proft or trust" of a political character, he
must therefore be unfit to hold any office of
honor or trust in the Masonic lodges.
The Ants will therefore govern themselves
accordingly; and, as harmony is essentially
necessary in all organizations, they as good Ma
sons will deem it necessary to make use of the
"black ball" to preserve the institution from
the proscriptive policy of Know Nothihgism,
and thus keep out of the institution those who
would bring with them an element of discord.
There are many foreigners recognised as good
Masons in all the lodges. AS for our part, we
cannot find fault with them, should they deem
it right to exclude men who are sworn to pro-
scribe them politically. b

GOOD ADVICE.

The Medina Gazette urges the Know Moth
ings to abandon their organizations, and unite
heartily in the Peoples movement, to place the
National Government actively on the side of
Freedom. 1t says:
"1he Northern Know Nothings are cut loose
from the Southern wing. The time is auspi-
cious for great movement, one in accordance
with the spirit of the people. What good can
possibly result from keeping up such secret
organization? 1t only engenders division and
distrust among those who would gladly COOP
crate in favor of Freedom. Why not then by a
spontaneous movement abandon it? 1t needs
no meeting of State Council to do it. Every
subordinate Council can act for itself-dis-
band, and announce the fact in the nearest
newspaper. Other organizations will follow
suit. A gentleman, who was delegate to
the late Know Something National Meeting, has
assured us that this was the universal feeling
among the delegates there assembled"

A WORD TO THE TRIBUNE,
PITTSBURGH, July 2, 1855.

IITfSboH0h, Jhty 4, 1000.
The article inserted in your paper of the 2Sth
June, from the columns of the Tribune, namely,
British Free Trade-Russian Protection" is
the silliest piece of sophistry have seen pawned
upon readers. His design is, to show that when
the Corn Law Protective System increased the
price of farm products in that country, and
cheapened the articles which the farmers want
to buy, that like System will produce similar
effect here. Now, the opposite would be the
result. The mechanical products of England
preponderate to an enormous extent over the
agricultural, and protective policy benefits
the few at the expense of the many; hence, a
protective system for this country would benefit
its few mechanics, at the expense of its many
agriculturists. Would it increase the number
and wealth of its manufacturers, and that class
of people which depend on them for support,
and whom the Tribune saw fit, in a famous ar.
ticle, to equalize with Southern negroes, in
every particular? Our friend of the Tribune
must be aware that the relation of employer
and employed is the same here as in England,
and that the amount of wages received does
not alter that relation.
In my opinion, every barrel of -four sent
from America to England increases the price
of -four here, while every article of British
manufacture sent here cheapens the wares of
this country. Surely, then, it must be for the
many farmers of this country to rejoice in
English free trade, and for the few mechanics
and laborers-or rather those who reap the
fruits of their labors-to deplore it.

CANNOT BE RALLIED ON SUCH PLATFORM.
From the Boston (Mass.) Telegraph.

From the Boston tAass-) Telegraph.
The American party is to retain its present
Constitution, insist on its peculiar policy to-
wards foreigners and Catholics and at the same
time incorporate in its creed the restoration of
Freedom to Kansas and Nebraska, and invite
the people of the Commonwealth to join with
it. This is the doctrine and policy indicated IN
the closing passage of the address.
Now, any man of ordinary sense must see
that such policy is suicidal to the men who
propose it, and fatal to Freedom. 1t is precise
iy the policy which the Wing party of Massa-
chusetts adopted last summer. They spurned
cooperation, but in their Convention adopted
strong Anti-Savery platform, and invited all
outsiders to become Wings. Such policy Will,
Just as sure as the sun rises and sets, perpetu-
ate the control of the Democratic party over
the Federal Government. Nothing but grand
rally of the free States for Freedom, and on
that issue alone, can defeat that party in 1856.
1t will carry every Southern State, with Virgin
ia leading the column. The Seward Wings of
New York will not accept platform which
prosc-ibes adopted citizens, or lengthens the
probationary period of citizenship. Without
their cordial aid, the Democratic party will add
the electoral vote of the Empire State to that
of the united South. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, and Iowa, every State originally
suit would inevitably come to pass. 1t will be
recollected, that last autumn the Republicans
carried the city of Cincinnati by four or FIVE
thousand majority-the great body of the Ger
mans voting with them. This spring, on the
single Native American issue, the Democrats
were victorious. There are fifty thousand Re-
publioans in Ohio, who could not be brought to
stand on Native American platform, although
it might declare in favor of the restoration of
Freedom to Kansas and Nebraska. No saga
cious politician can look over the map of the
United States without coming to this conclu-
sion, that the only movement which can con-
front successfully the Democratic party, is one
which combines all the opponents of the pres
ent Administration. The party is entrenched
at the South behind the slave power, and at the
North behind the prestige of successive victo-
ries, political traditions, complete discipline,
and the strength of popular name. Before
snoh soboetoPOi, NO ally of Freedom can he
spared from the assault. The grsndest oppor
tunity is now presented, to redeem the North
from its long subjugation to the slave oligarchy.
If not improved, God only knows when it will
return. Our children and our childrens chill
dren may not live to see it.

HIGH CROWNED HATS-A SUCCESS
TION

1 open this to add a suggestion on a topic
which has not met my eye in any publication !;
and the rather refer it to you, as being
medical man, capable of judging respecting its
correctness, and of the Propriety of calling
public attention thereto. 1t is this: For sew
eral years past, death by sun-stroke has been
on the increase in this country last year, its
victims were awfully numerous, which, though
partly attributable to the unusual heat, yet
rather confirms than weakens the hypothesis
entertain; i. e., that such Affections are, in
great measure, owing to the use of to,0-cro,cned
hats in hot weather. 1t seems to me that it
would be vastly more conducive to comfort and
health, if not the preservation of life, to use
high and pide-cro,oned hats in summer, and
those made as openaoorked as practicable, ex-
cept the crown; so as to allow the best possible
opportunity for the circulation of air around
the head, as well as the escape of the natural
heat and perspiration. The prevailing mode
not only confines the impure air, and excludes
the fresh but also invites the SIMS rays to tell
with power on the Uranium, in direct opposition
to Old PARIS maxim, "Keep the head cool"

LET Us HEAR THE PEOPLE.
From the Worcester Mass Spy.

J
As it was impossible to form a National
Know Nothing party, because of Slavery, so
will it be impossible to form united Northern
Anti-Slavery party, if the frolc of Nativism is
persisted in, by those who INDUCED in it last
year. The free West will not fight Negro Sla-
very under a banner which proscribes, to polit-
ical Slavery, such men as Louis Kossuth,
Joseph Mazzini, or Victor Hugo. If any East
ern State means to make a public profession of
Anti-Negro-Slavery, and at the same time
makes q more emphatic declaration of the pro-
scription of men of the Caucasian race, it will,
we believe, find little sympathy beyond the
most bigoted circles of the Know Nothing
Councils. Its action will not do any good to
the Anti-Savery cause, and will certainly re-
suit in evil to the State Itself. Now, the Know
Nothing State Council of Massachusetts, is well
aware that it cannot be in a national move
ment for Nativism. 1t knows, also, that it
cannot retain Nativism, and cooperate with
the West in hearty Anti-Slavery movement.
Why, then, do the members of that Council re-
fuse to give up the untenable absurdities of
last years frolc, and go in for the eternal veri-
ties of freedom to all men?
If they were to 60 in now for a Republican
movement, they would only act in accordance
with their original professions of patriotism and
love of Freedom. If they do not, they will only
confirm the idea, now so prevalent that they
have only intensified the evils of the old parties
and mean to cling to the Order in Massachu
sets, as probable means of clinging to power
and the emoluments of Office. The circum
stance of the formation of the Know Nothing
Order itself, set all the calculations of party
leaders at defiance. Perhaps the members o.
the State Council may find that they cannot
control the people, any more than the old lead
ers could. We want to know what the people
themselves will say to the action of the State
Council

THE TRUE POLICY.

From the Mount Vernon tOl Repubiican-Know Nothing
heretofore In us sympaIhies.
Republican Conventions should be called in
every section-noble and true men should be
placed at the helm-men selected by the peo-
pie, with reference only to their devotion to the
great question of Freedom or Slavery. If Know
Nothings are willing to come in as Republicans,
give them hearty welcome. Extend the same
to Know Something's, but set up determined
resistance to any attempt made BIZ either to
control the great Republican movement for the
advancement of any order or party that does not
embrace all the friends of Freedom.
The feeling in favor of untrammeled action
by the Republican party is stronger now in the
North than II has been before, since the passage
of the Nebraska bill. The efforts of Hunkers
TO supplant the Republican movement by an
ignoring American party has most signally
failed, and it is hoped that the lesson they
have learned will induce them to allow the peo-
pie TO act untrammeled by any efforts to lead
them away from the issue before them

rs detest Slavery, make us anxious for a healthy
foreign emigration, as the best means of get
ting rid of 1t. Besides, our country should con-
tlnue to be what 1t now is, the home of the op-
pressed from all quarters of the world.
Entertaining these sentiments, we have been
pleased with the perusal of the following article
from the National Era, published at Washing

tral position, and we hope it will keep up the
fire.
We think the time has come when the North
should organize as one man, and arrest the en-
croachments, the lawless outrages, of the South
upon the free Territories of Kansas and Ne
braska.
"The free States may be united for the cam
paign Of 1885, on the issues between Slavery
and Freedom, but on no other. The pioneer
Anti-Slavery men of the country generally are
for spiritual freedom, free Bible, and the
free school; bat they will not tolerate secresy,
religious test in politics, or the abridgement
of the rights of foreign immigrants, as secured
by our naturalization laws. The demagoguism
that would foster distinct nationalities, or dis
tinct castles, they alike deprecate any move
ment looking TO the support of sectarian schools
by State appropriations they would resist; and
all abuses of the naturalization laws they
would seek to correct; but under the pretext of
maintaining spiritual freedom, they are not to
be led off into a crusade against any religious
denomination; nor are they to be seduced by
the catchwords, importation of foreign pau
pers and criminals into the support of harsh
and indiscriminate restraints on foreign immi-
grafton. Where the attempt is made to intro
duce real felons or State paupers from foreign
countries, let the State interpose-it has the
power, and can provide the proper safeguard.
But we hold that the refugee from tyranny, the
political criminal, is not felon nor is poverty
pauperism."
