remains to be seen. With their eyes intently
gazing upon the Presidential prospects Of next
wear by union with the South, and their feet
planted firmly upon the springfield Platform
of which they have boosted so much, they seem
to be really in a sad dilemma, as to what course
to take. The correspondent of the New York
Herald. writing from Cincinnati, who seems to
be well posted the probable result of the do
ings of the Convention, says:
:" AN informed there Is large majority in
favor of Dawson resolution ignoring the
slavery question: while they are firm in their
hostility to the twelfth section. There are
some who viii cali for the unconditional re-
storation Of the time. honored Missouri Com
promise; but they will be voted down and
then there may be another bolt.
The popular plan to night is to recommend
special session of the Grand Council at Phil
sdelphia, on the 18th of February next, four
days before the nominating Council meets,
at which the 18th section shall be cut alto
gether, and the principle OF State sovereignty
substituted, allowing the South TO hold ug-
gers in peace. and the North to work on the
straight native platform, without regard to
slavery at ell. Something like this will be
done, at any rate There will be no attempt
at forming Northern party"
Should the result of the action of that Con-
vention be above indicated, the great mass of
the party North, will probably repudiate it. and
either unite with the Republicans by abolishing
tleir twenty one years naturalization" test or
else keep separate Northern s. American
srganiza ton, and thus allow the administration
to succeed in the Presidential contest of next
year, through continuance of the present unfor.
tanate division in the ranks of the Free State
voters.
In the second place, an organization of the
: House Of Representatives, at Washington, is to
be effected, week from Monday. Already
schemes are foot for a union of the Southern
K. N. members-about thirty in all--with the ad-
ministration members aud enough of the Nothern
K. N. doughtace Representatives a. e. Silver
Gray Fillmore hunkers) to effect a majority and
secure the officers Of the Hsuse. This would in
deed be consistent union, fit to be made, should
it occur, and would require but dozen or SO of
the K. N. members from the North, land there
may possibly be that number, of the Fillmore
stamp, among them, ITO consummate the arrange
ment. The administration, with all their horror of
Know Nothingis ism, would not hesitate moment
at so good an opportunity of extricating them
selves from the contemplate minority in the gov.
eminent, which their infamous Nebraska swndle
had thrown them into, by the elections the Free
States. The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald, under date of Nov. 2lst, has
the following in relation to this scheme, which i
Justly terms g most remarkable plan of fusion
between the National Know Nothings and tht
Democracy for the division Of the plumber -
There are and have been quite a number O.
prominent Know Nothings operating in this
movement togther with leading men connected
with the present administration, the object Of
which is to effect organization of the next
House of Representatives, thereby dividing the
officers of the House equally, among the two
sections. 1t appears that the Know Nothings

the twelfth section of the Philadelphia plat
form, and portion of the northern wing OF
this party, who favor the same idea, will pro-

and kill off the Republican or Seward party,
for it is evident here now-and they do moi
disguise the fact-thar they (the Know Moth
ings) hate them (the Repnblicans) infinitely
more than they do the administration and
thereby elect Southern or Northern conser-
vative man Speaker of the House and then
the administration, to carry out the contract
will throw their whole strength for an unob.

House, and thus divide up the offices between
them.

by securing them Speaker-and it is known
here that this imbecile and corrupt dynasty
will sacrifice everything else to accomplish
that object-you may rely upon it that the
administration men will, in return, go over

may prove dangerous move for the ad.
ministration. But they are driven to it by
necessity-in fact, it is their only salvation.
