Presidential Ball in Motion-Mr. Chase in the
Field.

Mr.. Chase is already in the field for a race
for the candidacy Of the abolition know moth
ing party of the north, for the presidency in
1856. His success in Ohio has magnifed his
chances into the proper proportions 10 make
him q formidable rival TO any man who may Of
fer himself. Mr.. Seward has been overlopped
by this success Of Mr.. Chase, which gives his
friends much uneasiness. The Adpertiser, an
abolition paper Of Buffalo, is out in favor Of
Chase, and cosiderS him lar preferable 10 Sew,
ard. II says:
at is now q fact past controversy that Mr..
Chase can carry Ohio by a strong vote. In q
few weeks, it will be fact past controversy
that Mr.. Seward cannot carry New York. On
the ground Of personal fitness, Mr.. Chase is a
more eligible candidate for the Presidency than
Mr.. Seward. Each willhave filled the highest
office 10 his " State, each has had The same
amount Of experience in Nstionai affairs, both
having served a single term in the Senate OF
he United States. As regards abilities, MIR.
Sc ward is the more SNOWY and Mr.. Chase The
more solid man. The former can write the
best Grafton, the latter make the most states.
man like speech. Nc. 81 ward's O is iden
tilted with schemes involving the prodlgal ex.
penditure Of public money. Mr.. Chase has al.
ways opposed such schemes. lf nothing were

Mr.. Chase is altogether the preferable C 'ndi
date. And on the score OF personal avaIlibili
ty the result Of last Tuesdays election in
Ohio, shows an immense balance in favor OF
Mr.. ChaSe."

The Missing Aeronaut.

It makes'one shudder 10 think Of the prob.
able Fate OF Mr.. Winchester, who went up in
a balloon from Norwalk, Huron county, on the
Cd inst. Over two weeks have elapsed, and
no tijings have as yet Preached lis family OF
Milan OF his fate. Whether frozen 10 death
in upper air a nd thus dashed 10 earth, or buried
in the deep bosom of the Lake, no word has
come TO tell. While we wonder OF his temer-
ity, we must pity his probable sad fate. Yet
there is a hope still, as the last seen Of him
his airy vessel was waited toward The North,
sufficiently inflated, as we are told by the
NOrwaik spapers, for a voyage Of from " 10
three days. 1t may be he landed in Canada,
SO far from rallroads and ielegraphs ss to- pre-
vent .iIiugs yet reaching his home. 1t is but
a nope however. The Norwalk Reflector says:
1t was reported ONE days since, that he haa
been heard from somewhere in Canada, but
The report could be traced 10 no reliable source
and proved 10 be unfounded.
II rs pretty generally believed here that he
is lost--as 10 the precise manner, II so, there
are various opinions. Many suppose that he
may have asceEded;so'tleh, that he become in
sensible and persisted from cold. HIS Tate,
whatever it may be, lisa matter Of speculation.
We converSed With a gentleman from MfIan, a
few days since, who told as that MI. W. had,
for some lime past, Manifested O strong Cesire
for ba!ooning, and that he had EXPRESSED his
intention OF ascending higher, and 10 make a
longer aria, voyage than any other aeronaut
had ever accomplished. We are told he took
only twenty-five mounds of ballast with him
which was about half as much as he took
when he made his aSce nsion from Milan =
Short time previous.
The Norwalk Experiment expresses a hope
that the press everywhere, and especially'east
will speak Of the ascension. end if il should be
that he has landed safely, Information may be
sen. 10 his family in Milan.

The Record Of K. N. 1nfamy.

The Cleveland Plaindealer makes up The
record of Know Nohtisg infamy as follows;
ait has weakened in the American people
their reverence for The purity Of the ballot box
by teaching and instigarng bands OF men 10
violate and trumplesit in the dust.
cit has weakened in our citiEens the love
fof republican institutions, by faRiliafizing
them organizations subversive OF republican
principles. ,
at has poisoned society, and has diffused
~distrust, suspicion and hatred throughout The
social circle, by administering oathS binding
on the taker even in his social relations.
alt has arrayed one portion of our fellow
citizens in deadly and lasting hostility to the
other, and has Thereby planted the seeds Of
future riots and bloodshed.
ait has checked the growth OF Liberty IN
Europe, by putting in the mouths of its des-
pots arguments against the freedom and tole-
rance OF republican institutions.
at has profaned the sacred home of reli-
gion, by an appeal TO the veal and miserable
prejudices Of laggot-burniug fanatacism- vlo-
lated in its letter and spirit the teachings OF
The Bible, scoTned the ordinary promptings oil
q generous soul, The humanity and The feel
ings OF Haefcy.
alt has taught men 10 think lightly OF trea-
son 10 the general government, by administer
ing oa,hs 10 violate the constitution by the in
PRODUCTION Of religious tests and the tests oil
birthplace.
alt has been false 10 the prosperity of the
great West, by attempting 10 drive from our
midst those enterpristng men who have in part
built its public works, tiNed its fields, and
been controlling element Of IT'S rapid aud as
tonishine increase in wealth and population.
at has weakened the bonds OF society and
shaken our government 10 its very foundation,
by The ins'igation OF numerous and bloody RI
cts, repeated violations Of the purity Of The
la !iel box in Cincinnati, Louisville, and Kan
sas, the destruction of valuable property, the
most atrocious murders of innocent men, and
the burning in flames OF weak and defence
less women and children.
cit has struck a heavy blow at government,
religion, society, morality, and everything tha
honest men and republicans hold dear"
Such is the brief history OF that short lived
but desperate orgnnization-the Know Nothing
party. 1t is spurned in the bosom of every
honest man; it lives in the fears OF every
mother, aud every child in the land can re-
count lis horrors. History and tradition will
hand down TO poster ~ its intense iniquity.
Its name will be Anathema. Let lis miSdeeds
go down 10 succeeding generations, in the
condensed ana expressive phrase, 'the infa-
my of Know Nothingism."
