Know NOthfngism In Ohio.

Here, in Ohio, the Know Nothing organization is
anti-slavery in all its actions. but it is also some
thing more, and this constitutes the objectionable
onence. There is jealousy this subject which
seems TO say you must be ti-slavery and nothing
else, How is this .?
Let US look at the sub ec in a practical and pho-
sophical point of view. In physics and morals it is
law that, in ali conflicts, the greater overcomes and
suppants the lesser by sure, because natural, pro-
cess. Now, if the other principles, beside that of

servaton OF our republican institutions The ans
wer comes back to every intelligent mind, so tar
the subject admits of anal ysis-emph atically no!
The defects in our election Iaws-in natnrali-

element among has on elections through the
corrupt and corrupting interference of demagogues
and Jesultism, all be met at the time that
we encounter the aFstocratc and whitening spirit of
slavery.

mlliar with their operation. Nor is the slavery qaes
ton new, but It is present and pressing one, and
may not, IN It's rampant position be postponed or
turned aside, to await more convenient season IT
we would save ourselves from its overshadowng and
all pervading influence, it must be met now. And
this necessity to be felt by the American par
ty, at least in Ohio, in with the masses, and
they propose TO act in accordance with this feeling
With their concurrence, shall be able to roll back
