The Feliciana Democrat. (Clinton, La.) 1855-186?, 1855-04-14
Abolish and Know Nrthingism.

The Savannah Georgian in an able article
clearly shows, by an army of facts, the amalg'
nation of these two is&s in the elections that
have taken place at the North and West. We
have added thereto, some additional items, and
would ask therefor an attentive perusal by ev-
cry friend Of the South.
After exposing the designs and Vaccinations
Of Seward and Sumner, the Georgian proceeds:
How stands the invisible and mysterious
order in its relation to Abolitonism We he.
state not to assert that Abotionists and An.
t-Nebraska men alike, between whom, indeed,
distinction is made without difference, have
generally, in the campaigns throughout the
North. been found in alliance with the Know
Nothings; on the other hand, that the mystic
rous order has contributed more largely than
any thing else to the power and progress Of
Abolitionsm A single glance at the State
elections and acccssons to Congress- is suffi.
cient to substantiate the assertion. We present
but facts and ask for them careful and can

In Maine, the veteran Paris, consistent
National Democrat, was defeated by the can
didate of the Know Nothings and Abolition.
lists, John NJ. Wood.
In Massachusetts,, we need not say that eve
ry successful candidate was the avowed cham
pion of Abolitionism and Know Nothingism.
A notorious Abolitionist, General Wilson, has
been elected to the United States Senate from
the same state, by Know Nothing legislature
In Ohio, the intrepid Dr. Odds was over
borne by the notorious Abolitionist and Know
Nothing, Galloway.
In New Jersey, Dr. Lilly and General John
S. Darcy, both standing upon the principles of
the Constitution, were defeated by the Know
Nothings and Abolitonsts
In Pennsylvania, Hendrick B. Wright, c.
Smaller, W. Montgomery, and other avowed
Of national doctrines, were defeated
by the candidates of the Know Nothings and
Aboltionists. 1t is not certain, indeed, but
this hot-bed Of Know Nothingism will consum-
hu'c ito uVaSou W tuc NOlStltutlUu anu DTO-
thcrhood of mankind by the election of David
Wilmot to the senate Of the United States. If
not him, the Know Nothings will support for
that office some no less decided enemy of the
south
In Indiana, Mcssrs Dunham John G. Davis.
Hendricks Eddy and Others all devoted friends
of state rights have been been succeeded by
Abolitionsts, elected by the Know Nothing
vote.
In Michigan, the fearless and out spoken
advocate Of nationality, Hon. David Stuart
has been defeated by Howard an unequivocul
Aboltionist and Know Nothing.
In Illinois, Abolition and Know Nothngism
combined, as in common cause, to prevent the
reelection of the gallant General Shields, to
the United States Senate.
In Iowa, that sound and fearless National
Democrat Senator Dodge, has been defeated
by the same unholy combination.
In New York, the members elected to the
state Legislature, by the aid of the Know Moth
Jugs, have shown themselves the warm friends
Of that arch Abolitionist Seward by sending
him back to the United States senate
In New Hampshire a similar combination
has defeated the National Democracy, over
which the Abolitionists are now rejoicing.
The above facts, hastily condensed from
general summary before US, is sufficient for the
object we have in view. The list might be ex-
tended to any length, even to the satisfaction
Of the blindest understanding But what boots
it? Why argue self evident and admitted
proposition? Even while we write, comes the
intelligence that John P. Hale, fit to stand
side by side with Seward and Summer, is adj
mltted to all the honors, privileges and cmolu-
ments OF the Know-Nothing conclaye. 1t is
believed, indeed, that he will become the fayo-
rite candidate of the much Landed "inyisible
and mysterious order for seat in the United
States Senate, from the Stats of New Hamp-
shire. What further could the most bitter and
inveterate enemy of the South and the whole
Union desire?
1t would be insulting the intelligence of our
readers to argue this subject further. It is cy-
