TnE BLACK DEMocRAcY ESTABLISHING
Know NorHINo NRwsrArKas. The ALBANY
STATE Register has for q long time been the
leading organ Of the Fillmore wing Of the
Know Nothing party in New York. Lately
it has backed out from the support Of that
party, and goes for Fremont and Dayton.
And in assuming it's new position it required
to the history OF the foundation of the es-
Enlistment, in which the fact is brought to
light that that paper was originated and es-
tablshed rs the central organ of Know
Nothingsm by the joint efforts and contribu-
tions Of Silvery Gray Americans and Ad-
ministration Democrats, a contribution of
$500 being levied upon the custom house
employees of New York to furnish the ne
cessary 'material aid"
Thus rs It shown by degrees that the Fill
more Know Nothngs and the Black Democ
racy aIe hand in glove with one another, CO.
operating in the mutual cause OF crushing
out free institutions aud subduing free speech
and free press, mutually aiding and assist
ing each other, the government coercine it's
employees to contribute Of their earnings TO
establish know-Nothing journals to fight
their left-handed battles and s'crush out'' all
the foreign born influence that they cannot
themselves succeed in wheedling and de-
iadins. It's q sharp game, and reckless
one; II is in keeping with the desperate char
acter OF the party, in its desperate condition !;
but It wont win, nevertheless. The people
are getting aroused, in earnest, and iudig-
nant and hood-winking, caiolerv, double
dealing, and all the fierce threats of the
Slavery -Propagandists Of the South and the
demagogue arts Of the shoulder hitting,
gambling Buccaneers of the North. arc
equally useless against both the native and
foreign-born citizens, who clearly discern the
the one issue, absorbing and paramount, Of
Human Freedom or Human Bondage, Free
LABOR or Slave Labor in the National Ter
ritories, the supremacy Of the Laws and the
Constitution or Of Negro Bending Slavery
Propsgandism in the councils of the nation.
