SERVING TWO MASTERS.

Under this head, the last National Era has
an article marking the distinctions between
Know Nothingism and Republicanism, and
Affirming that men cannot consistently or hon.
oraby belong to both parties. 1t states that
Senator Wilson and other distinguished men
in Massachusetts, who once belonged to the
Order, have abandoned it, and consider them
selves now only Republicans. 1t says: 1--WE
heard that Henry Wilson had been requested
to attend that Convention, for the purpose of
influencing it to take ground on the Slavery
question, and his blunt reply was No an
not member Of that pGrty-I am RepuJli-
CAM"
After stating that the Republicans of New
York and Wisconsin alone were distinctly ar.
rayed against the Know Nothings, the Era says
of Ohio.
" In no other State have they Republicans
clearly ascertained position. We say this
with pain and modification; for we would
gladly make Ohio an exception, if we could.
We cannot. The position of our friends there
is doubtful. Mr.. Chase, the Governor elect
we know, is neither Know Nothing by mem
bership or sentiment; out nearly every man
on the ticket he headed, tOaS member Of the
Order, We cherished the illusion that, as
honorable men, they considered their partici-
patton in q Republican Convention, represent
ing the Republican Party, equivalent to re-
nunciation of allegiance to any other Party.
Was it but an illusion? Do these men still re-
tain membership in the secret Order. If they
do, they are not Republicans; the People Of
Ohio and other States have been cheated-the
party that succeeded was the American
partyl"
In another column of the same number of
the Era, the editor says;
"For one, we shall support clean Repub.
lican ticket, and no other. We will support
no ticket representing t,0o parties, or mired
issues-no Democratic, Wing, Know Nothing
nomination, in whole or in part, but an unmis
taxable Republican nomination. An honest,
open union of the People against the Slave
Power, disregarding all other issues, is the
only policy we can sustain in the Presidential
contest. We will not support, but we will re-
sist, cost what it may, any attempt to frame a
Presidential ticket on the principle of coopera-
tom, by which Republicans shall agree to sup
port Know Nothing, on condition that the
Know Nothings will agree to support Repub-

lican, each party remaining distinct, and secu-
ring from the other countenance and support.
Let every party fight under its own banner,
and God defend the right /"
We are glad to see this spirit in the Era.
The Republican party, at best, will be misera-
bly, low in IFS standard but with the Know
Nothing party attached, it will sink down be-
low the level of dead Whiggery and servile
Democraey.-OhiOB ugle.

beautiful wild flowers which Wallinder had
brought to her notice on their way.
However, Hilda was now drawn into the con-
versstion too, for she had to listen to all her
papa's ingenious descriptions of the house
keeping, of the men and women servants, and
work people; all of which, together with the
neighbors, were canvassed by papa and mamma.
The sight of the little, red painted wicket
broke off their communications, and in one more
step they were in their own absolute domin-
ions.
The entrance gates were open, and across
the court, overgrown with high grass, Lieuten-
ant Borgenskold led his wife and daughter into

THIRTY-F0URTH CONGRESS-.
First Session.
Wednesday, December 10, 1855.
HOISE

Mr.. Houston suggested that the gentleman
from Ohio was entitled to the floor this morning
on the resolution of the gentleman from Iowa.
Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, said he had come
here for the purpose of a full and free discus
sion on every important proposition that might
be introduced into the House. Such discussion
he now regarded as premature but when the
proper time should arrive, he would be willing
on the one hand, to meet the gentleman from
Kentucky, agreeing with him as he did on all
the material points of Americanism, and, on
the other hand, the unbYoken phalanx OF the
Administration and the Nebraska bill.
The House then proceeded TO the sixty-ffh

OF Hatch, in the counties he carried l4,3O3
OF Headley, do. do. 1852
OF King do. do. 1881
And that Kings majority over both the So
called Democratic candidates was 1902.
The same statement discloses the further ex.
traordinary fact, that Mr.. Headley was elected
over King by the vote of the counties which he
did not carry.
Returning now to the question which we set
out to settle, Mr.. King is the only candidate
who appears to have received anything like the
general support of the old Democratic counties.
But for the vote given to his competitors by the
opponents of coercive temperance laws, who
chose their candidates without reference to or
binary party issues, there is no doubt that Mr..
Kings vote would have been much increased,
and he would have been elected. If the vote
of this city, where the great iquor-vending in.
terest of the country resides, were excluded
from the canvass, Mr.. King would have had q
majority of nearly five thousand; in other words,
if, say, nine thousand of the votes which were
given to other candidates by the liquor interest
exclusively-and this is but fraction of their
whole vote-had been given to King, he would
have been elected.
