From The same. .aIn- daie.

Silently and quietly throughout the State.
arrangements are making in the Know Nothing
lodges, to elect a majority of the delegates to
the EepublIcan Convention. By their superior
organization, they expect to bring their whole
force TO the primary meetings, and in those
meetings to elect members of their Order. as
delegates to the State Convention. We sneak
that of which we have evidence the truth of
which we do not doubt whatever. Lists of
candidates of their own party have been circu-
lated among their lodges for weeks past
Ii is most obvious that the Republican party
must stand In direct antsgonism to the Know
Nothing organization. If they have any object
or policy worthy of general support, the Repub-
Hcans and Democrats viii sustain IL, of course /:
but to the separate and distinct organization
of the Know Nothings, all true Republicans
must stand entirely opposed.
- Secret political organizations ever have
proved dangerous to Freedom. All history
and all experience have shown this. If there
be any one thing against which the American
people are hostile, it is that of secret political
associations. We did not ourselves, until quite
recently believe We never believed anything
else--Ed. Era it possible that intelligent
men could be led to suppose the people of Ohio
capable of being led by secret political party;
and il is due the members Of that Order rs well
should say frankly what we think of the subject.
We gave up our Free Soil organization, and
entered the Republican ranks in good faith
We piedged ourselves 10 withstand boldly and
Enthusiastically the efforts Of the Administra-
ton. to WELD the Government for the benefit of
Slavery. II any portion of our party, however,
desire to get up other issues, we say to them
we are not prepared for such a movement; we
are opposed to il, particularly are we opposed
10 the new organization.
We are conscious that some of our friends
think, if the Know Nothings DO not unite with
us. we shall fail in the next election; we think
differently Ifthey make separate nominations,
we shall gain more German votes than we shall
loose by the Know Nothings. Indeed, not one
half of the American party can be carried for
a separate ticket. But even if We fail at our
coming election, the result will show that we
adhere Enthusiastically to our position. The
Know Nothings will be as completely defeated
as were the Pierce men last fall, and we shall
be prepared to enter upon the more important
canvass of next season with perfect confidence.
We think it due TO the Know Nothings that
we speak thus frankly our views. We entered
the Republican party in good faith, and we IN
tend maintaining the doctrines OF that party
We speak our solemn convictions when we say
that the Administration party is less dangerous

For the National Era
LOOKING UPWARD
BY LUELLA CLARK


The storm-clouds have gathered darkly
And threaieningiy over the sky;
And, like wells on the faces of mourners,
The mists on the mountains lie
The limbs of our cherished roof-tree,
Crate dsmally over the caves;
And the cold winds are drearily driving
Through the midst Of lis scattered leaves
The doves have all crouehed TO their shelter;
And the drops of the dreary rain,
Are beginning their noisy patter,
On the roof and the darkened pane.
O, now for the songs that can sooihe us,
When sunshine and summer are gone;
o. now for the joys that can cheer us,
When the wind and the winter come on.
o. now for the spirit that soareth,
Triumphanily over the rain;
For the hopes reaching upward and onward,
Untrammeed by sorrow and pain.
Thank Heaven no shadows can darken,
No tempests these visions can hide;
And the glancings of light through the darkness,
Are given whatever betide.
o, then lei our hearts grow lighter,
When the storm-clouds above us roll;
For no wasting and wearisome winter,
Can come 10 The trusting soul.

NEITHER nor NOR COLD


" II is marvellous Just now to witness the at
tacks made upon the American Party. The
Democrats Of the South oppose il for its Adolf
tion tendencies. The Democrats of the North,
or portion Of them, and the ree-Soiers or a
portion of them, oppose it because of its Pro
Slavery character. Cincinnati Gazette.
And because il is neither one thing nor the
other, has no attachment either to Slavery or
Freedom, Tie people will spew it out of their
mouths. This story OF having no principles, of
a. knoring nothing of being nothing, of dong
nothing, was asserted and reiterated by the old
Wing and Democratic parties until they went
down TO their graves, repeating their songs of
peace.
We know that Anii-Slavery Know Nothings
insist that the Organization is opposed to Sia-
very. We feel they are honest but we know
that the whole party South, and their leaders at
the North, are putting forth their influence 10
place their Organization precisely where Fill
more and the Wings of 80 stood. In saving
this, We speak the language of nearly all their
leading presses, North and South, who with one
voice, declare they will take no position on the
Slave question.
Now We repeat what we have often said. We
wish no political association with any party who
disregards its high obligation TO humanity.
They can add nothing TO the moral influence of
the Republicans. We would speak respectful
ly, but freely. Ii is due 10 all concerned, that
We should deal honestly with each other.

IGNORING,

The new : American party proposes to ig
tivism. At the same time, they claim to have
a majority Of those who would form the Repub.
hcan party, and urge union and harmony among
all opponents of our National and State Admin
istratlons. The proposition to introduce this is
sue instead of that of Slavery, has introduced a
new difficulty, and made it necessary that the
Republican Convention, when it meets, shall g-
more Ndtirism. Had they left the peoples
movement against the Nebraska outrage to go
forward. without this attempt 10 foist Naiivism
INTO If, the subject of naturalization need not
have been brought forward; but they impose
the necessity upon the Convention of passing
resolutions declaring in favor of the liberal spirit
heretofore manifested towards foreigners. Ig-
noring has become necessary but instead of
Slavery, IT will be Nativism
