FusIoS---ITs DIFFIcULTIEs.-We commend the
following sensible article from the Honesdale
Democrat to those of our Editorial Brethren
opposed to the National Administration, who
ungenerousiy denounce Americanism. They
are by far the strongest party in the North,
antagonistic to Pierce Douglass Co., and it
is folly to think of success without their assis-
tance. And that assistance is not to be oo-
saiped by villification and abuses:-
.sThe Tioga .dsitator is right in declaring
shat sone general plan of Operations must be
agreed upon among the opponents OF the Kan
sas swindle, or disaster is inevitable. We
have seen that from the beginning, and conse-
quently stood ready to unite in any plan OF
union that recommends itself to our Judgment
as practicable. But we have submitted, and
ave again submit, that sweeping and incesSant
denunciation of the Know n Noth1ngs in which
tho N. Y. Tribune, the Pittsburg Gazette, and
many other advocates of fusion indulge, con-
stitutes the great obstacle in the way of fusion.
The mass of the Northern Know Nothings are
heartily opposed to the Kansas villiany, and
are willing to cooperate with anybody and
with every body to rebuke it; but they have
convictions in respect to foreignism which
they cannot and will not repudiate for the sake
Of cooperation with the editors of the Tribune.
the Gazette, or any other class of persons. 1t
seems as if these denouncers of the X. Ms
were determined not to learn this fact until the
great battle shall have been fought and lost"
