A TURN IN TACTICS.

We observe that lately those who hate and
fear whatever is found under the name oil

manner in which the greatest national men
OF the republic flock 10 the Buchanan ranks
as the only position Of safety and the loud.
est Freemoni shriekers are beginning to call
themselves Fillmore men. This is 10 give
the semblance of chance for Fillmore, so
ihat,he old line national Wings may not all
follow 10 general stampede for the Demo.
cratic parry. But the movement is trick Of
the same desperate demagosues who man.
aged the Know Nothing party two years ago;
and who have been lately as loud-m oulhed
for the black man, as they were lately against
the white man who had The misfortune moi
to have selected the Western Conunen, fol
the spot Of his birth. These newborn Fill.
more men are the fellows who but Yesterday
were ranting loudest for thu sckly sentiment
with which they pollute The name oil freedom.
Nobody will be deceived by this change in
the tactics of the opposition, except those
who wish TO be cheated; and the honest men
OF patriotic rational principles whom it was
designed TO dupe will spuru and despise il as
an insult TO their understanding.

New Phase Of ow-Noth,ngtsm.

Inc Fremont papers are boasling a reat
deal of the large number of German and
other adopted citizens who have, as is al.

see the vote cast, and not before for we
nave no idea that any naturalized voters are
so oIind as not to see The proscriplive spirit

they had the power, read the following ex.
tract from a recent letter of the Philadelphia
Ledgsr's Washington correspondent, "Ob.

new plan. Despairiog of obtaining a repeal of
the naturalization laws, and abandoning all
hope of ever eleclng pure Know. Nothing

who would thus dsiranchise him?
"The most remarkable feature of the Di.
2lomaiio and Consular Bill, as reported BY
Mr.. Pennington, of New Jersey, leading

bid The President to appoint adopted citizens

hereby appropriated shall be dsed in paying

FATAL AccIDENr.-On last Saturday, about
noon, Two brothers, sons of David Davis,
Esq, of Limestone township, in this coun, ,y,
were oct on cunning excursion, when the
older of them, named Albert handed gun
TO the younger across race. The latter ta-
king the gun by the stock accidently touched
The trigger and discharged the contents into
the side Of the former, causing severe
wound, in consequence Of which he died, on
Sunday morning. We heartily sympalhizs
with the bereaved parents in their loss. The
deceased was about l6 years of age, aud
gave promise of becoming valuable and
useful member of society. Let this be an
other warning TO those who handle fire arms.

FoREIos OPINIONS OF AMERICAN PoLlTrcs.-
The English, French, and some OF the Ger.
man journals, want Fremont elected, and
they give him some "first.rate notices. in
their respective papers. We do not know
that the sympathy between American voters
and European Journalists is so strong as 10
induce The former out OF compliment to .a,.
lily them by elscling the man they wish. II
they do elect him we think il will be more
10 crafty themselves. II is curious, how.
ever, TO trace the cause of this sudden inter.
es, in American politics and this universal
affection abroad Cor particular candidate
tof the Presidency in this country. The
TRADITIONAL policy" of Europe has some odd
crooks and turns in it, and Mr.. Buchanan n
nearly took the kinks out OF il in the Oslend
Congress. Probably they are afraid he will
shake it 70 pieces if he should get Presi-
DENTAL grasp upon it, and their affection for
bis opponent may therefore, be only alarm
in disguise. Phil Ledger.
