CAROLINA !, Standard
B THs Know NornrSos AxDa AsoIrT1oSIsrs- The
Ohio State journal pits forth the following feeer
ior complete fusion between the know nOthings
When the three parties have their candidates. in
the field. then we expect to witness sharp and ac
tive canvass. The American party in the South
will have to meet single-handed the fierce democ-
racy, and in the North the republicans and Ameri-
cans will have to meet the same enemy. II they
un'te upon one set Of electors in each the States
nearly, if not quite, every northern State can Be
carried against tho democratic party. II, on the
other hand, the Americans and republicans each
an electoral ticket of their own the result may be-
and probably will be, an unparalleled democratic
triumph"
Judging by the past, we may look for fusion on
an extensive scale between the K Ms and black
Republicans of the free States. Just before the
cent election in Pennsylvania, the Ms, the black
republicans and some of the old Wings fused against
the Democratic candidate for Canal Commissioner,
and gave due notice of the same. Gov. Gardner of
Massachusetts, is also feeling about for fusion In
one OF his recent speeches. he expressed wish that
the K. Ms and black Republicans of the free States
would unite.
SMALL Pox~ IN BUNcoMBE-The Asheville News
Of the 9th inst. says that several cases of Small
Pox have occurred in the family of Mr. Andrew
Landlord, seven or eight miles northwest of Asht-
vile, on the Warm Springs road, and that other
cases have occurred in the eastern parts of the
ty. The News adds
"None OF the cases have as yet proved fatal on
no ho
form, and thus far has readily yielded to medical
treatment.
Not single case has yet appeared in this town,
and from the energetic precautionary measures
adopted by the town authorities, there is to
hope that with hearty cooperation on the part of
every citizen, village will escape entirely. All
communication has been cut Oft with the infected
districts, and but physician allowed leave
enter the town. Our business houses are all
closed.
These precautionary measures, with the blessing
of Heaven, it is confidently hoped, will save us from
the dire visitation.
The disease was introduced into the country by a
family returning from Iowa."
PURSUIT OF kNowLEDGE.-The Fayetteville Argus,
in pursuit of knowledge, asks "Will the Dem
ocracy nominate ticket for the approaching Presi
dental election ?" Presenting that the editor is only
asking this question for the purpose of obtaining
information and knowing no one that needs it more
than he, We adopt the language of Mr. Fillmore in
replying to the questions propounded to him en-
quring whether lie opposed to slavery, in favor
of abolishng it in the District of Columbia, &C,
and say: 1--WE answer in the affirmative" In or
der to crafty Cameron's laudable desire to obtain
knowledge we will also give him another bit of in
formation, concerning which he was too modest to
enquire-the Democracy will not only nom mate
ticket, but they will elect it ALSO We take great
pleasure in assisting young men Qikc Cameron) in
their pursuit of knowledgc-especialy when, as in
his case it is under difficulties"
Mr.. FILLMORE WITH THE POPE OF RoME.-Thc
New York Herald of March 9th has the following
alluson to the present whereabouts and whatabouts
of the know.nothing candidate for the presidency:
MAKING A LION HIM AT RoxE.--In a letter
from Rome, dated January l, we find the following
interesting paragraph:
".Our friends, cx-President Fillmore, DR.. Foote,
and Mr.. Jcwett, were at the Church of the Jesuits
and appeared to enjoy the ceremonies quite well
others. The ex President has only been here two
day evening of this week. l think the Papal gov.
eminent will make something Of q lion OF him as
they did of Mr.. Van Buren, last winter
''Think of that! Mr.. Fillmore enjoying the
Jesuits at Rome and he Papal government making
lion of him. Would it not be well for Gen. Gus
tayus Adophus Scroggs, who, it is said, initiated
Mr.. Fillmore into council 1T, to interfere ut
for his rescue from the Pope and the Jesus of Rome?
If they make a lion Of the American nominee, how
can the Americans be expected to rule America,
We should like to know?"
Can it be possible that Mr.. Fillmore-the anti
Catholic and X. N Candidate for the Presidency
is in Rome, dancing attendance on the Pope? 1t is
even so The Papal government is to make some
thing of lion of him !"-hc is to be fattered and
toasted, and is to kiss the Pope's great toe! Mr..
Van Buren, returned Catholic-woud it be very
surprising, if, under the circumstances Mr.. Fillmore
should como back burning with hatred towards his
Holiness? Profession is one thing, practice is an
other. What next? What Is this world coming to ?
Extract from letter to the Editors Of the Stand
ard, dated
MEcKLESBuRG Co., March Sd, 1856.
81 have been a reader of the Standard ever since
its first issue, and was never better pleased with
it than am now. Go on in your patriotic work of
defending the constitution and the Union, and bat
Ting against abolitionis,n, Know Nothingsm, and
all the family of isms and will perch upon
your banner. Democracy is lengthcning her cords
and strengthening her stakes and will give thunder
ident, and Bragg for Governor, and Meckenburg
will speak out as of old at the polls next August
and November"
