- The State Know Nothing Council, to which
we alluded last week, concluded its session on the
9th IT was rathor q weak affair, a very small pro-
portion Of the Councils which the President stated
exist in the state, being represented The Presidents
statement, thai the Order in the State numbers at
least one-third of the voting population. rs wihoui
truth 1t Is prcdicaed on the supposition thai aii
who ever belonged to the order still belong 10 ia
most faacious assumption. II IS safe 10 aiiifin that
in this county where the Order once numbered as
many perhaps as four hundred members, not twenty
voters can nou be found who care pinch OF snuff
Cor the order or be influenced in the faintest de
gree by its edicts SO much on the bead Of Numbers
all OF which is well confirmed by the paucity OF this
re-, rcsentution at Convention which had the impor
tant matter of the next Presidency on its hands.
As to the feeling the Convention towards the Re
pubcans and the Republican party, the following
from its organ will give some idea:
Several abe addresses were made in which the
policyo fnsng' with The Republicans loudly
condemned. The determination of the Council
med rather 70 he to adhere with unwaverng con-
ancy to the support of the Madison platform Of the
American party"
Two Of the delegates this convention sends to its
National nominating convention and the chairman of
their central committee, members of the Rcpub-
| lican central committee. Now if these individuals
who SO loudly condemn the policy of fusing with the
Republicans, have not decent sense of propriety
sufficient TO keep them from in;erIneddling with Re
publican conventions, We trust no ceremony will be
/ observed III showing them the door
/ The Convention repud;ated Fillmore and Donel-
son cmphaticay, and recommended Banks for the
Presidency. With reference to Banks the Organ has
the following:
! '.Mr Banks has claims upon The order which few
others offer The first 10 raise his voice in edvo-
cacy Of it, principles, he las been fearless and
consistent ia their support. During the contest for
Speak ership Unprecedented in length i'll parliament
i ary lstory-ie was uni emitting i'll his efforts and
4 initiated into the Washington Council, of which he
is President, ninetyseven Of the so-caled Rcpubli
K cans who were attempting to secure his election.
1t is hardly necessary to say that this with refer
ence TO Banks, is manufactured out Of whole cloth
1t is an attempt get into the Republican ranks
der the of Banks, these fabricatons being put
forth to break the degradation of the abandonment
they feel themselves compelled 10 make Of heir own
men and principles.
In happy contradstincton to these abe speeches
against fusion which the Organ conmends on one
day the next day it has tie foo"ing:
9 In all probability the CANDIDATES dominated Ivy
the American onVeniion-lVh'ch VIII meet in New
Yor; the 18th Of June--wiil be rat fed and ap
proved OF by tie Republican Convention which
meets the 18th ~ the same month. Should shls
not be the case, md should any thing prevent tie
nomination Of suitable candidates by the American
Convention. and the Philadelphia June Convention
select candidates in whose political integrity the
American paav of Tie pr mn rely, the distinctive
strength Of the latter WILL doubt be given in favo
I Of such candidaies.'
Unless the Republican party has gone clear mad
there is not the smallest probability that the Ameri
caa nominee will receive The lantcst shadow of an
endorsement by it. Nor docs The organ really OK
pect any thing of Tic kind The fact Is this Ordei
is making arrangements to expire without delay. Il
don't intend 10 make any nomination for the Presi
dcrcy Those Of It's members who do not support tie
bunker candidate tor the Presidency will support
he Republican. The republicans then have eX
ceilcnt opportunity TO extirminate the Order, which
we trust they will profit by. 1t is simply to nom
maze who are free from the suspicion OF la
wing been connected with the order With the
candidates both sides occupying that position We
shall hear nothing of tie Order
