What do Southern know.nothing
papers mean by rejoicing so much
over the defeat of the democracy in
Iowa, Vermont and Maine? In those
States neither the Fillmore nor the
Northern know-nothings had any tick.
et-they were not known in the race
the contest was between the de-
mocracy, planted upon the Constitu-
ton and the rights Of all the States
under it, and the black republicans,
banded together to destroy the South.
And yet, Southern know-nothing pa.
pers are jubilant with joy that the
black republicans have triumphed!-
What do they mean? Are they for
Fremont before Buchanan? For the
black republicans before the 9emoc.

A Practical View Of the Question.


A mechanic Of New Jersey thus
writes to the editor Of the New York
Daily News, in regard 20 his reasons
for supporting a national candidate,
instead of the sectional candidate:
am mechanic, and the princi-
pal market for the articles which /
work at is the southern market, and
when the trade is cut off my business
is ruined; and ! am satisfied that il
Fremont is elected the Union will
soon be dissolved, and then England
will supply the south with her man.
ufactories, because she can afford
them cheaper than we of the North,
for in England iaboring men work for
daily wages that would starve an
American mechanic, as was very
justly stated by the speakers. The
northern mechanic would then have
to compete with the white slave OF
England, and get little or no pay for
their labor, whereas they now obtain
wages sufficient to support them
and their families comfortably, by
supplying the slave States with the
products Of their labor. These are
arguments which convinced me and
many other mechanics who heard
them.

Gen. Jackson and Dir. Buchanan.

Finding that they could make moth.

and that Jackson men should not sup.
port him. Allat once such know moth

alarmed for Gen. Jackon's fame; and
they are now attempting to show by
the Kitchen Cabinet-A. j. Donelson.

the old hero was. opposed to Mr..
Buchanan, and had no confidence in
him politically or personally. This
last Know Nothing dodge is scattered
to the winds by a statement made last
week by Judge Catron of Nashville.
of the Supreme q. s. } Court Bench.
He stated that Gea. jackson had
such a high appreciation of Mr.. Buch-

rem opposed the Annexation of Texas,
he openly advocated the nomination
Of Mir. buchanan to the Presidency
as the Democratic candidate! Mr..
Buchanan's alleged traitorous conduct
Gen. jackson occurred in
l024-25, when in 1880 Gen. Jack
son appointed him Minister to Russia,
was in favor Of his nomination to the
Presidency in 1874, and was ever

that Gen. Jackson was opposed to
Buchanan could-haye found Judgment

One OF THE Tricks OF BURcLAs

One OF THE TRICKS OF BURGLARS
From a confession made by a rogue
nov in Jail, at Hartford, c., for va.
rieus bnrglaries recently committed
in Pennington, it appears that one
of the gang with whom he was con,
nected, travelled through various
towns selling polishing powders, with
a view of ascertaining where silver
plate was to be found. In visiting
dwellings, be was always quite bold
in following the inmates to adjacent
rooms, to test his powders or silver
spoons or plate. He made a memo
randum Of what he saw in a book,
noting particularly those houses
where q dog was kept.

Gov. Johnson, Of Pa, who was
nominated by the Northern know
nothings for the Vice-P Presidency, has
retired in favor of Dayton. So there
is now thorough union between the
Northern know-nothings the black

Fillmore, we fear, even with the aid
of the so-called Baltimore Wing Con-
vention, will not cause any essential
division in their ranks.

Election Of President By Congress.

Iie0'hsA W iftNucht VI C0nSTcSSs
There is not probability that the,
duty Of electing the President viii

the success Of Buchanan and Breck-
inridge. Yet, as many are specula-
ting as to the mode by which such
aneIection would be conducted, we
subjoin an extract from the Consti.
tuition, which will regulate the action
Of the House in such a case:
Art. II, Sec, /. The electors
shall meet in their respective States
and vote by ballot for President
and Vice President; one of whom, at
least, shall not be an inhabitant of
the srme State with themselves, they
shall name in their ballots the person
voted for as President, and in distinct
ballots the person voted for as Vice
President, and they shall make a dis
tinct list Of all persons voted for as
President, and Of. all persons voted
for as Vice President, and of the mum
berof votes for each, which list they
shall signand certify, land transmit seal
ed TO the seat of Government of the
United States directed to the Presi-
dent of the Senate; the President
of the Senate shall, in the pres
ence Of the Senate and House

of choice shall devolve Gpon them

1t will be seen that the election
must be one of the three tighes
candidates-that each State has onl,
one yote-Delaware being equal t
New York-the majority Of eacl
delegation determining the vote 0
the State. Neither candidate being
able to secure majority of the votes
there would be a scene of bargaining

gives an opinion of the present rela-

"What tn those who we're willing

each of the three candidates had for

at length being understood by the

apparent that Mr.. Fillmore has no
chance Of carrying a single State in
the Union, his friends, much as they

sound views on national questions
have gained him so euyiable a reputa.

stand by him next November. The
evident intention of the notorious alb.

nonyme of all that is mean and dis
graceful in politics, was the chief wire
worker in the nomination of MIR. Fill.

well did he do his work that, already,
six Of the electors selected by the
American party have expressed a
preference for Fremont. In some
parts Of the State fusion between the
American and republican parties is
popular with the former, but in this
eity-the stronghold of Americanism
1t is repugnant to them; and to
the exposition which has been made
Of the nefarious work of Stevens
and others of like ilk, and the luke.

the changes in views of prom

one thing there is a certainty, Mr.
Buchanan's majority over Fremon,

and over Fillmore at least 10, 900 oil

The two wings of the democratic
party in New York are now united.
This, according to the above state
ment, would make its present number
Of voters, Isl ,742-a larger number
than either Of the other parties. The
union of parties that have been at va

beyond their original numbers. We
doubt not the united democratic par

were while acting apart, and in opro-

dence that it will vote for Buchanan
