KNOW NoTHINGIsM.

From what little we have seen Of the Kenosha
Democrat, since our return, we infer that its ed.
itor calculates to elect Buchanan by calling the
Republicans, Known othings. Does he think
his humbuggery ami hypocrisy win remain un-
exposed. We refer to the communication of Da.
vid Smith. of Salem; on the outside ofour paper
by which it appears that while such men as F.
S. Lowell and Sheldon Fish, who lead in the re-
publican movement, were instant and xealous
in opposition to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, he was out
in Salem establishing dark-lantern lodges, and
getting up delegates to Know Nothing state con
rentions. About nine out of tan Of these men

character. How long will our naturalixed voters

Col. Fremont's Letter OF Acceptance.
Col Fremont's letter of acceptance has been
published. We get it partially by telegraph !:
He says: Gentlemen You call me to high
responsibility by placing me in the lead of great
movement of the people of the U. s., who with
out regard to party differences are uniting in a
common effort to bring back the action Of the
Federal Government TO the principles of Wash
ington and Jefferson. Comprehending the mag
nitude of the trust which they have declared
themselves willing to place in my hands, and
deeply sensible of the honor which their unreser-
we'd confidence in this threatening position of
public affairs implies, feel that Icannot better
respond, than by sincere declaration that in the
event of my election to the Presidency should
enter upon the execution Of its duties with sin
gle hearted determination to promote the good
of the whole country and to direct solely to this
end all the power of the government, irrespec-
tive If party issues and regardless Of sectional
pride.
The declaration of principles embodied in the
resolves of your convention express sentiments
in which have been educated, and which have
been ripened into convictions by personal ebser-
walton and experience. With this declaration
and avowal, | think it necessary to revert only
to two of the subjects embraced in your resolu-
tons, and to those only, because events have
surrounded them with grave and critical circum-
stances, and given to them special Importance.
He then gives his concurrence to the views
of the convention, deprecrating the foreign poll
icy, to which it adverts, and advocates an open
and firm policy in foreign relations; and in re-
gard to slavery goes strong for the admission
OF Kansas as. a Free State, and thereby check
ing the aims of the South for securing the un-
limited extension of the institution.
He concludes as follows: Trusting that /
have heart capable of compromising our
whole country with itsivared interests, and con-
tident that patriotism exists in all parts of the
Union, acceptsthe nomination of the Conven.
ton, in the hope that 1 may be able to serve USE
fully in its cause, which consider a cause of

thoroughly reliable.
The other interests of the state arc also faithfully
attended to by them. We heard it on all sides when
we had occasion to inquire, did several times
that few members paid closer attention to the bust

TEEN of their fellow members, their influence was
large. If Wisconsin don't get from the National
Government all to which she is entitled, executive
vetos will have more to do with it than any lack on
the part of these members. We presume there is
little question that the republicans of their respective
districts will insist upon their services for another
term and trumphantly return them.
The member from this district happened to be alb
sent from his duties so that nothing and heard
little Of him. Politically, he has very faithfully
presented the party that nominated him, and
pondingly taken in and done for the republicans
who were deluded into voting for him. We have no
complaint to make of his course for we are not dis
appointed in it, We believe Mr.. Wells has not been
lunaithful TO tho material interests of the district

How matters look in this State

We do not suppose the people here are very diffe
rent from the people elsewhere of the north and that
what is transpiring here may be taken as evidence
Of what is transpiring elsewhere Let us glance
then at the state of things here in connection with
present political movements.
Before oar late State Convention and the late Ma.
tiona Convention the Republicans of the State were
net entirely harmonious among hemscv es and there
was ground for the apprehension that we might be
unable to unite cordially upon a Presidential cand
date But the nomination was made and is before
the people. Aud now FOX the results: .....
Every Republican paper in the state hoisted with
alacrity tho names Of our candidates, and supports
them with cordially, earnestness. and zeal; and
among original republicans we have yet to hear the
first word of dissent dsaffection as to the cand
dates or platform.
Every heretofore neutral paper in tho State, viz
The Whitewater Gazette, the Geneva Express, the
Ripcn Spur, and the Wisconsin Mirror, have hoist
ed the names and so in to the support cordially of
the Republican nominees

which has had Buehanans name at its mast head
since his nomination, to this week with that
name dragged down and an announcement that the
name of Fremont will be run up in its place.
These are the facts with reference to The public
journals Of the State The facts with reference to
the people not less remark able and encouraging
-' While the utmost harmony and enthusiasm pre-,
walls in the original party the accessions
from the Democracy, since the nominations amount
TO almost stampede from that party. Every day,
indeed almost every hour brings us intelligence Of
some heretofore prominent Democrat, now active
and jealous in support Of Fremont, the real Demo,
cratic nominee. We might call numbers of them b,
name but the fact patent and notorious and does
not need more particular allusion
Such at present is the aspect Of this state poEti

Republicanism Triumphing Already

+ The Senate has taken up and passed over the
Presidential veto, the bill making appropriation
for the St. Clair Flats and the mouth of the Mis-
sippi river. If the uprising of the people in IA
vor of the party of these principles continues to
manifest itself as it has done, the House will fol-
low the lead Of the Senate in this matter, and
also pass our lake harbor appropriations.
This is a foreshadowing of the good time CO.

completely triumphant. Roll on the ball to com.
plete success.

Huohanrn's Loyalty to the South

The Richmond Inquirer of June Goth, thus
sums up the services which Mr.. Buchanan, in
his long public career has rendered to the cause
of slavery;
at is refreshing to contemplate the quiet
dignity and patriotic spirit which characterized
Mr.. Buchanan's career in Congress. Not for
one instant, never on single proposition was
he found in company with the abolitionists He
neither originated nor supported measures OF
aggression upon the Sou -
gency zealously - hded and
cal rights of sIaveF5. So 81 htly
adhere to the Constitution that wdschaleng6t the
Whig to cite a single instance of clear and un-
equivOcal struggle between slavery and aboli:
tionism, in which Mr.. Buchanan did not espouse
the interests of the South He never strove to
impair the legal guarantees of slavery. He new
neglected an opportunity of rebuking the spirit
and opposing the designs of sectional agitation
1t is true he did not go the entire length of Mr..
Calhoun's famous resolutions and neither did
Mr.. Clay. Mr.. Buchanan went as tar in their
support as any other Northern Senator; so far
indeed, as to advance beyond the popular scnti-
ment of the Northern States. On every partc-
ular issue in dispute between slavery and aboli-
tionism, Mr.. Buchanan took the side of the
South.

U We regret that our Democratic brethren
feel SO badly because the Republican convention
did not make special onslaught on the Fugi-

we think we can assure them that the Conven-

nominated men whose success won't strengthen
it particle. We are pleased with this solicitude

honest. and as Buchanan is firmly pledged to the
law, surely they will bolt him forthwith
