There that ia the .tuff with which the poor re n
nant Of the once powerful and enlightened Wing
party of Massachusetts, ia daily fed by its most
respectable purveyOr. Can we wonder ats feeble
its teploIable condition Let us look at these
sentences little What style. what argument
what assertions, II is worthy of Rufus Choate
himself. Who ever before heard of an organization
(Which was to gather together men of all parties,
"to do away with al past political dferencesf'-
such, for Instance those little differences about
Kan az and Nebraska, and about the Fugitive Slave
Law, which, we take it, must come, however insls-
rifcent they may be, under the comprehensive
word all. And then, for what Why, first,
"for the purpose of making grand display

producing Tremendous moral effect"

oppon that mysterious power which was in danger
of belle virg Massachusetts, in favor OF extending the
area of Slavery.
Now. what does that mean! Does anybody
know of any mysterious power which was in dan

does anybody know of any mysterious power what

Let US now examine The Adrevt'sers numerical
statements. Ttese, as usual, are grossly inaccu-
rate. That paper is notorious In Massachusetts,
for it's inaccuracy except among the respec :ables
who read nothing else, and, as they never see any
correction of it's msstatements consider 1t intali
bic. "The new organization" says The Adcer-
tiser- mt aiming the Republican party" mustered
"about the same number Of votes as the Anti
.slavery party, as such. has always of late years
thrown in our elections not quite so many as it
"eaye for Horace Mann for Governor"
Now. what are the factsi The Republican vote
of this year was 80 e67 The Anti. Slavery vote Of
Massachusetts, in 16i9 was 25,2T in 1850
q 636; in 1851 2S $50; in 1853, 20 $40; in 1854,
6759 From these figures ii will be seen that the
highest Anti. Slavery vote during these years-that
for Henry Wilson IN 1S53-was 900 kss than The
Republi AN vote of this year; while the lowest
Anti. Slavery yOte-that Of l85i-was more than
10000 less, This il what The Adreriser means
by about the sane number of votes" The vote
for Horace Mann in 1852 was 36,740. According
to The Adrertiser, the Republican vote Of 1856
80, s67-was I" not quite so many" We cheerfally
admit, however, that in this last Instance The
Advertiser was uncommOnly accurate.
Leaving figures, let US return to The 1dcertiser's
rhetoric: The people could not" it says, "be
persuaded that it was necessary for them TO leave
A" their own affairs to fight an abstraction. The
4 result Of the election. therefre, although it did
mot result in the choice of our own candidates,
lis CRAFTY Dg to us as triumph Of good sense
over fanaticism." Forgetful of Hiss, forgs.ful
Of Mrs Patterson fOrgetful Of Nunnery Commit
tees and Of peuper girls and pauper infants cruelty
sent back to Ireland, forgetful of the election
of Henry Wilson to the Senate, of the attempt to
remove Judge LoIiDg, and Of the Personal Liberty
Law, The Advertiser is gratifed at the success of
the party which is responsible for all these The
Know. Nothings did not leave their own affairs to
fight an abstraction" Oh, no! The Pope is no
abstracton-the Order of Jesuits is no abs traction
the Inquisition is no abstraction foreign inhu
ence ia no abstraction. But Kansas is an abstrac-
tiOn---StrinafellOw is an Observation-Disclosures.
Douglas, Gushing are distractions. And, there
fore the result of the election is gratifying to the
Daily as triumph Of good sense over fanat
csm'-th the triumph Of Gardner, Baker, Brewster
Prince and Richmond over julius Rockwell Geo.
Bliss, VIM. c. Plunkets, John Il. Goodrich, Elisha
Huntington, Franklin Dexter, Isaac Liyermore,

TO mention any others. We hope The Adrerti~r
will favor US with dissertation on the good sense
Of the Know. Nothipgs, and in the course Of it ex
