was elected to this Office last fall, by the
Fusion party, and after commencing business
this spring, was invited to take part with the
wire workers TO arrange for the next campaign.
L was given to understand that it was expected
that every man on our county ticket must be a
Know Nothing, and that the Order was strong
enough in the State, so that all on the State
ticket would be elected. 1t was also represent
ed to me that S. p. Chase was at the head OF
the Order in this State, and would be the Re-
publican and Know Nothing candidate for Gov
ernor. This latter | was satisfied was not true :
and after finding that our Republican party was
likely to be subverted, issued this address.
AS there are no old and reliable Free-Soilers
here, did not have any counsel in the matter.
The leaders of our Free Soil brethren have gen
orally given their assent to the sentiment of my
address, but think it was illtimed or in advance,
while l am still fully of opinion that the address
should have been responded TO heartily. 1t was
my opinion, as it is yet, that the Republican
Convention, to be held next summer, should
take stand on the Native American question,
and that should be the same as the Pittsburgh
Platform and that it should adopt resolutions
against secret political societies. But our Free
Sellers seem reluctant to venture on that meas
ure, for fear the old Hunker Democrats
should succeed. They think our Republican
party cannot be sustained without the Know
Nothing vote, while l think it can and that if
our Republican party does not take stand
against Know Nothingism, it will be considered
as identical with it, and then it will lose its
moral power, and prove a failure.
If you can give word of encouragement in
any way, to help snatch our Republican party
from the hands Of the destroyer, it will help me
in the warfare. Yours, truly,

FILIBUsTER BOND.

A friend in Georgia encloses to us the copy
of "Cuban bond" which we subjoin. In
private letter the writer says:
8" made the copy from ilibustering bond,
borrowed for that purpose by friend, and
which am told can be purchased in any guam
tity. This, which is for $4,000, was said to
have been purchased for $1,000. The original
is printed in blank, and filled up with Writing.
1t will no doubt account for some, if not many,
of the flibustering paragraphs which We find
in the papers"
We have nothing to say, if Cubans choose
to risk their money in such investments but
we protest against our own people entering into
the unlawful speculation, at any discount, and
then endeavoring to get the nation into war,
to make their bonds good.
