Look Out, Beware.

All sorts of schemes will be fixed up and
tricks played off upon the ususpecting between
this and the election, to obtain their votcs.-
Know Nothingism is full of trickery, and it
will adapt itself to anything, and make any pre-
tention, to secure vote. .=...z
The latest Know Nothing agony in this res
pect, is the false impression, attempted to be
made, privately of course, that Mr.. Patterson
don't care anything about the Office of Clerk,
that his candidacy has been forced upon him,
because he was popular, and that he does not
care to be elected, and consequently makes no
effort to secure the election. These misrepre-
sentations have been attempted then let his
friends and the public look out and beware o1
the trick.

The SIGNS Of the Times.

The great demonstration in Philadelphia, in
commemoration Of the anniversary OF the adop-
tion Of the CONSTIPATION, and the call for De-
mocratic Convention to be held in Lexington,
Kentucky, to take measures to preserve the
same noble instrument from destruction, shew,
that the prosperity Of know nothingism has
reached its eliminating point and that the fu-
turc will only record its defeat and dissolution.
Already Virginia, North Carolina, Texas,
Tennessee. and Alabama, in the South, and
Maine in the North have turned back the tide
Of success, that seemed to crown its followers
elsewhere but short time ago, and thousands
who Joined the order are leaving it by scores
from one end Of the Union to the other.
Many Of its leaders have recently withdrawn
and declared themselves no longer members.
The democracy Of every state are up and
doing, and as certain as anything in the future
can be known, success will most inevitably
perch upon its banner.
With the Constitution, Equality and Justice,
for their articles Of political faith truth for
their standard of right, and reason and argu.
ment, in fair, open and manly discussion, fol
their weapons of offence and defence, they are
as sure to succeed, as that the sun will rise and
set in the future, as it has done in the past
We base our conclusions upon the virtue and
intelligence Of the people, and our confidence
in their constant and persistent disposition te
do right, upon the power of truth over er
ror, the Justice of our cause, the correctness o
our principles, and the records of the past his
tory Of our party in former contests. Th

We are satisfied that in Parkvillc alone, other
Abolitionists can be found, who ought to be dealt
with--men as destitute Of moral principle as Par,
or Patterson. Preachers Of the Gospel whO in
stead of teaching the merits of our Saviour, incul.
cate the lessons of Abolitionism. They must be
looked to. 1t is not alone among Northern Metho-
dists than an abolition preacher can be found
and herein admire the spirit of our resolutions
to investigate the conduct and teachings Of all,
whether Methodsts, Presbyterian any other re

!. The circumstances attending this case of
robbery are aggravated by the fact.that the
negroes were seized and carried off contra.
ry to their wishes-against their cries, strug.
giles, kickings and protestations. They
seemed to have presentment Of the kind

are removed from kind master and assured

But this aggravating fact may lead 70 good
results in one respect. 1t has entangled the
chief rufian in the meshes of the law, and
by false swearing to extsicate himself has
involved himself more deeply. If a court or
