Changing their Tune.

For some time past the Sag Nicht organs In tie
South have been endeavoring to play upon tho
fears Of the Southern people that Fremont would
be elected. They have been threatening, begging,
coaxing, and imploring the South to vote for their
Free-soil candidate just to keep Fremont from
being elected We took occasion, few days ago,
to show the utter impossibility of Fremont's ecc-
ton while Mr.. Fillmore is in the field, and at the
same time to prove that Buchanan has not a shad-

the Cincinnati convention party in this city change

Hampshire, New York, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Wisconsin, and California. Now here is claim

says: .ts,
The know-Nothing party is the meanest and
most unprincipled patty which has ever disgraced
the politics Of Msssachusetts.
The Courier replies
We thank that journal for putting this upon re-
cord. The Know-Nothing leaders when the food
came In upon Massachusetts,, and Governor Wash

and they are all Free-soilers, all Fremont meu, at
this day They are the same scurvv politicians"
now that they we're then, and II they are the
raean<st and most unprincpled party men who
ever dsQraced the politics of Massachusetts," the
Advertiser may take as much JOY as il pleases in
its new company.
