p. Hale, with q confederate of the like dis
| union sentiments. Thus much has Know No
| thingism done to save the Union in the SEN
ate.
| Now let us look to the House Of Represen-
tatives. OF all of those elected by the Know
Nothings of Massachusetts, every one is CON-
mitted to the most ultra abolition doctrines.
Of those elected by them in New Yook, they
! are either the warm friends Of Seward, or the
active and INSCRIPTIONS adversaries OF the
compromise measures. In Ohio, where they
made clean sweep by a coalition with the
wings. with two or three exceptions their
delegation second and support the doctrines
of the extreme abolition leaders. In Michigan
everything chosen has been by the Know No
things, and is the pledged opponent OF south
ern rights, and the open advocate Of the doc
trine of admitting no more slave States into
the Union. The same may be said OF Illinois,
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Wisconsin. These
allegations may BE- defended by names and
antecedents.
Let us look to some Of the prominent no
tional emocrats--friends Of the compromises,
and advocates Of the constitutional rights OF
all the States-whO have been defeated in the
North by Know Nothing organizations. In
Maine, the veteran Paris, consistent ma
tonal democrat, was defeated by the candi-
uaIe Vi hHoW NOtulDgS anu AUOIttlOuiStS
John N. Wood. in Michigan, that fearless
and out-spoken advocate of nationality, Hon.
David Stewart, was defeated by Howard, an
unequivocal Abolitieniss and Know Nothing
In Ohio, the intrepid Dr. Clds, has been over
borne by the notorious AbOlitionist and Know
Nothing, Galloway. In Pennsylvania, Hend-
rick c. Wright, Charles Shaler, w. MontgO
merry, and other svOwed advocates of national
doctrines, have been defeated by the candi-
dates Of Know Nothings and AbolitiOnists.-
In New Jersey, DR.. Lilly, and Gen. John s.
Darcy, both standing upon the principles of
the Constitution, were defeated by the Aboli-
tionsts and Know Nothings. So. too, in In
diana. Messrs. Dunham, John G. Davis, Hen
bricks, Eddy and Others all devoted friends
Of State rights, have been succeeded by Aboli-
tionsts elected by the Know Nothing vote
In addition to these facts. we mi ght adduce
the public declarations and resolutions of the
new Order. which from time to time have
.asR@ 'Aeir appearance through the press, but
space IS : not permit US to do so at present.
We have given sufficient already TO show
clearly that Know Nothingism, if it has done
one thing more than another, has swelled the
ranks of Abolitionism in the North and has
added largely to the power and the organiza
tion of the AboltiOnsts in Congress.
And yet this is the organization that Gov.
Fonte, has seized upon to save the Union.
These are the fruits of the triumphs of the
party. whose cause he is now advocating
Verify, can we exclaim. with all respect to
Gov. Foote, "How have the mighty fallen!"

necessary to it, have been spit upon, trampled
in the dust, and in every way reviled by the
very men with whom he has publicly associa-
ted himself as alone capable of saving the
Union.
Let us see, then, what Know Nothingism
has done, first, for the U. S. Senate. In Mas
sachusetts it has elected Henry Wilson, an
abOlitiOhist of the rankest kind, over the
splendid statesman and accomplished scholar,
Edward Everett. In New York, where it held
the balance of power, a number of its men,
bers, according to the charges of their own
papers, committed perjury to elect William
H. Seward, so strongly welded were they to
abolitionism. In Illinois they struck down
Shields, staunch supporter of the cOmpro-
mise measures, and violated their State Con-
stitution by electing Trumbull, free-soiler,
while on the Supreme Judicial Bench. In
Wisconsin they elected Charles Durkee, whom
the New York Tribune pronounced IAN old
fashioned abolitionist, thorough land refor-
mer, and Christian philanthropist, which, by
Greeley's Interpretation, means the essence of
all that is despicabe and fanatical in politics.
In Iowa, Harlem has been elected, of the like
stripe of politics, over Dodge. warm compro-
mise man, and staunch friend of the Union.
In Pennsylvania in the face of an open and
published declaration of the most ultra abol-
tion sentiments, Simeon Cameron received
their caucus nomination, and was we'll nigh
elected. In New Hampshire, where two Sena-
tors are to be elected, they have chosen q
Legislature which insures the return Of John

THE LATE BRITISH GOVERNMENT

In recording the advent Of Lord PalmerstOn e
Government to what We are confident must prove
brief and not very brilliant career, it seems not
improper to cast a glance at the history of its
predecessor, of which it is hard to say whether
the spleLdor Of its opening pre.ensions the mo-
mentous nature Of the events in which it partci,
pated its unprecedented incapacity, or the ignom-
my of its downfall will the most distinguish the
future record Of its existence.
twill be remembered that Lord Aberdeen and
bis coalition came into Office through the vote
which upset, en- the 10th December, 1852, the
