HARRrsBURG, Feb. 1I.-There is much eau.
cusing to-day in private circles against Mr..
Much bitterness Is evinced by some of the
Know-NolhIngs who bolted the CAUCUS
Amongst those VITO evince the most deter
mined hostility are Messrs. Franklin, Wit
mer, Herr and Ball, of the House, and Elem
niken, Taggart and Jordan, of the Senate
Whatever the opposition will amount to
anything is exceedingly doubtful, further
than 10 disorgan,ze, distract and weaken the
Know Nothing organization. Those who
voted for Cameron in caucus will stick 10
him, besides whom he has some few friends
out of " the ring" who support him warmly.
The Democratic Know Nothiugs threaten 10
desert in a body ;fthe boilers prove recreant.
Rich developments ahead! There 10 an
effort making 10 concentrate the opposition
TO Mr.. Cameron on a new man. Hon. Hen
ry Nj. Fuller, of Luzerne, is spoken OF as
likely 10 command the united vote Of The
opposition. Should their plans mature, they
will most probably concentrate on him.
The boilers are Fienniken, Lewis, Jordan,
Taggart and Ferguon, of The Senate and
