The Politics of this County,

We have taken some pains to ascertain,
as near as possible, the condition of the
different parties in this county.
We were not little surprised to learn
the strength of Mr.. Fillmore. Trimble
got but about 25 votes in the county, but
Fillmore viii get more than three times
that in a single township We have no
regrets for this change as almost the entire
Fillmore force will be of those who would
vote against the Democratic party at any
rate. We are sincere when we say. that
we arc quite confident that Fillmore will
bent Fremont in this county.
Mr.. buchanan will carry the county by
at least 1900, unless some unexpected
event should occur to prevent it.
Between Fillmore and Fremont, we are
like the darkie about his " thereafter. y
He was told that there were but two roads,
one of which led to the devil, and the
other to hell. He replied if that was the

Matters at Washington.

The 18th ofAugust has been fixed upon
by both Houses, as the day for adjcurn-
ment. Good. This Fusion Congress
has now been in session two hundred and
Harty flee days, and what has it done?
Nothing but wrangle about dog fights aud
personal brawls between Irish walters and
Know Nothing members, matters with
which the AMERICAN CoNGREss has no.
thing to do They have spent their time
and the peoples money in trying TO build
up sectional party to rule the Union.
They have made bunkum speeches and
flooded the land with ineendiary docu-
ments, calculated to ALLEVIATE portions of
the Republic, and have thus spread broad
cast, disunion sentiments, which either
time or civil war must obliterate.
The Fugitive Slave Law has not
been. repealed - 80
BThe Naturalization Laws have
not been amended!
W Slavery has not been abolished in
the District af Columbia!
sB The Nebraska act is still in being!
saY No proposition has been brought
forward BY these Black Republicans to
do any of these things, promised before
the election. They have lied to the .peo-
pie, and those Fusion members of Con-
gress will soon be home with d batch of
new lies to hide the old.
They have voted away the public lands
to Rail Road corporations and other spec
ulators. to the almost total exclusion of
actual settlers. The result will SLOW a
session of little else than useless. turmoil
and endless extravaganza. It's like we
hope never to see again. Pain Dealer.

Eza "a Fix.

The Jouraars position between the
Know No.hings and foreigners remind US
Of chap we once saw standing on two
boats-one foot on each. The boats were
gradually separating and he was undeci-
dcd which to get on until they were so far
apart he could not get on either. The
consequence was, he got ducking. The
editor of the Journal is just in the same
condition. He has planted one foot ON
the Know Nothing boat and the other on
the foreign boat and now they are so far
apart he cannot get on either-at least
without eating his own words. If the con-
sequence is nothing worse than ducking
he may consider himself fortunate.

Brooks and Burlingame.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Mr. Tread
well, of N. York, yesterday made an ALL
davit that he had reason to believe that a
challenge to fight duel had been passed
between Brooks and Burlingame, and that
they were making preparations to fight in
violation of the peace of the District and
the act of Congress, he therefore prayed
that the parties be arrested and put under
bonds. $50 ~
Brooks was arrested this morning and
held in $4,000 bail to keep the peace.
The Union publishes the correspond
ence between Brooks and Burlingame, in
reply to the intimation of Burlingame,
that he would be at Clifton House, Cam
ada, on Saturday, to settle the difficulty
Brooks declines going 700 miles through
the enemy's country, by route through
which Burlingame knows he would be run
ming the gauntlet from mobs and assas-
sins from the prisons, penitentiaries, bailiffs
and constables.
A note from General Lane advises
Brooks to take no further notice of the
matter.
A despatch was received to-day from
Burlingame at New York, saying he in
tended forthwith to return to Washington,
as Brooks failed to follow him. He was
answered to pursue his journey to Canada
and await his appointed time; but some of
his friends anticipate his return to-mor-
row-meanwhile the police officers of
Washington still look out for him..

California for Buchanan,

The Union-dissolving Black republicans
concede California to Buchanan and
Breckinridge in advance They know
that Fremont has no chance whatever
of carrying his own State, and must rely
upon strangers, who do not know him for
success. Thus. for example. the Natsosa-
al Era, published at Washington Cd, c.
the central National organ of the Union
Discovers, under date of July II, 1856,
says: ave think Fremont's chances. are
good for carrying all the Free States,
except Calstornia!!" Stick pin there
The editor might have excepted twelve
or fifteen more of the Free States, which
Fremont has no earthly prospect of car
rying. But we are glad to see California
given up at least. It proves that Ere.
mont is weakest of all where he is best
known. S

State of New York.

The statement having been made in. the
New York Tribune, and copied by the
Black Republican papers, that the Black
Republicans would receive 800, 0O0,otes
and 200, 600 be divided between Buchanfn d
and Fillmore, and the State go Fremont
by heavy majority. it may be as well to
look at the facts in their true light. In
lS54 at the fall election for Governor. the
heaviest vote known was polled, amount
ing to 469,43l; of these, Clark, the Re-
publican candidate, received. 1856 8f)4
leaving 313.627 balance, divided between
Seymour, Ullmann and Bronson. Sew
mour received l5s,495. Ullmanni l % 2s2
and Bronson $3.50. The Democratic
party are now united, and, allowing they
should poll only the whole vote Of the
Democrats, it would amount to I90.345.
and the question arises, where are the
Black Republicans to obtain their votes
to receive majority in that State. They
cannot claim them from the Democratic
party, and as for the Know N othing party.
at their Convention, the delegates from
wv" = "a N hOiO uuitCu, duQ 1lffuOre VIII
poll a large vote, but manywho voted for
Ullmann will now vote for Buchanan.A
The New York Herald states, unless Fre-
mont and Fillmore unite, that Buchanan
will carry the State. The reason why
the Republican party polled so large .
vote was on account of the temperance
question, and, mark the predictions of .
New Yorker, the Republican vote will not
exceed lao, 600 votes in the State of New
York. 1t is considered, among the prom
inent men, that the contest lies between
Buchanan and Fillmore The reasons
for giving the statistics is to show the
falsity of the Republican party, and the
bombast of what they are going to do,
and when the election comes they dwindle
down to small party.

Now, how any man could have the hard
ihood to deny publishing Know Nothing

of the contrary, so easily attainable is
certainly remarkable. Just look at the
denial and evidence side BY side:

How will the editor get out Of this di-

miserable bubble on the word 'Know

Will he attempt to claim that when he an

that he did not mean to be understood that

he did not expect and intend his readers
to understand that it was not an American
paper? Everybody here knows, aud the
editor of the jouri,at knows that by the
term Know Notiingism is meant the same
as the so called Ame;icanism. Is it pos
sible that man who boasts of being
strictly honest and fearless will avail
himself of so pitiful subterfuge as this
to get out of tight place?
We have charged that the opposition

throw off his disguise and show which

he certainly will not any longer endearol

We would not regard this as matter
of SO much Importance if all the leaders
