Abolition Fusion Observation-Disclosures Corr
vention OF the Free Soil Know Nothing
Philadelphia seceders-A Warning Voice.
We have published the call in behalf Of
the free soil and abolition Know Nothings Of
Indiana, Ohio, Massachusetts,, Wisconsin, New
Hampshire, Michigan, Vermont, Maine, Con-
necticut, Illinois, Rhode Island and lowe, for
q national convention at Cincinnati, Ohio, on
the twenty-frst day Of the coming November,
in pursuance Of the action Of the late State
Council at Reading, Pa thus making thirteen
States the parties to this general anti-slavery
Know Nothing or Know Something movement.
A margin is also left for all others that may
choose to come in.
AS to the platform Of this extraordinary Pc
litical conglomeration, we are told by the
committee that they "desire to see represented
all those who are in favor of civil freedom
and religious liberty; all who are opposed to
political priestcraft and ecclesiastical tyranny,
and in favor of the privilege Of worshpping
God according to the dictates Of individual
conscience; all who oppose the importation Of
foreign paupers and criminals, and who favor
an extension Of the period required for the
/ naturalization Of foreigners; all who are in
| favor of perpetuating the Union of these
States, of purifying the ballot box, of preserv-
| ing national virtue, and of bringing back the
government of the country to the enlightened
patriotism Of former days; all who are op-
posed to the violation Of national faith by the
reckless sundering a sacred national CON-
pacts, and who are in favor of the uncondi-
tional restoration of that hme-honored COM
promise known as the AnsssuSi prohibition,
which was destroyed in utter disregard Of the
popular villa wrong no lapse of time can
palliate, and no plea for its continuance can
Justify"
In these specifications the object of this
mong.el coalition is very distinctly betrayed.
1t is to seduce the Northern knew Nothings
into Seward's Holy Anti-slavery Alliance. The
declarations concerning ecclesiastical tyran-
ny" "ths naturalization laws" importation
| of foreign paupers ard criminals" perpetual
| ing the Un.on," &C., are the bait with which
| the verdant members of the American party
in principle opposed to the institution CT South
ern slavery, are to be1rapped. We viii give
you SO much Of your own platform, if.you will
only join us in the great,co cause of the
North, which is the humiliation Of theGouth,
and the extinction of slavery. This is the
great point ali the rest ID 'mere leather and
prunella.' This national convention, in fact,
proposes to do Oh a large scale what Seward
Thurlow Weed, and their pinps and spies have
haoy, off hare IN
the Know Nothings. The Cincinnati CONVEX
ton will only be the repetition of the late
Cleveland and the later Rochester Know
Something conventiales, enlarged and i'm
proved.
The question with the regular Know No
things Of the States enumerated, is a very
simple one. They have only to CHOOSE whe-
Their they will maintain their position as the
members of new and Independent. national
party or merge themselves among the hireling
fddlers and dancers Of the Seward holy mig
ger worshippng alliance. This Cincinnati
gathering is a movement for 1856, SO that eve
ny man who participates in il will have def
nitely chosen his party for the Presidency.
We believe that there is still, in every one of
VIC ptatcs uooNet ~ VTopOIhAH
of the original American party in favor of ar
independent national American ticket for the
succession; we believe that between this day
and the twenty-second of next February, when
the regular National Council Of the Know No
things is again to meet, many events aud
movements will take place to their advantage,
both within and without the Order; and that
even from present appearances the prospects
of the regular Know Nothings for the highest !
candidate to the House of Representatives are
Of least good as those Of any other party ia
the field. |
We consider a scrub race for the succession |
as inevitable, and that we shall have no less !
than three candidates before the people, and |
there may be half Dozen There will be the |
democratic spells candidate, the candidate of |
the auti-slayery alliance and the regular
American candidate, at all events. To give
the victory to Seward II will only be neeessa-
ty for the Northern Know Nothings TO fuse
with his antislavery coalition; but If the Amc-
rican party of the North adhere to their own
ticket in cooperation with their southcrn
p.etbren, hey will at least carry the election
