Look ut IL Squarely.

The New York Tribune indignantly denies
,ha, i, was owing to ex Governor Jobnsion's
being Know Nothing, that he was excluded
from the Black Republican nomination al
Philadelphia, bu. because his name would
repel thousands in this State from supporting
The ticket. Quite complimentary.
The Union is now complete between The
most odious wing of the Know Nothings and
the Black Republicans. Prescribing white
men in consequence of their religious creed
and elevaiing the negro above the foreigner
seems oow TO be the main plank in their po'

Senator Summers Illness.

We do not, of course. Justify the assault
upon Senator Sumner, happening where il
did, but The low game now being played by
that distinguished Abolliionis,, must dissipate
all further 81 mpstby for him and his exagger.
aied sickness. II he did not deserve 'chas-

done so, he would have been expected to
make himself even by challenging his as.

must direct attention 10 the following State
ment Of Mr.. Summers physician, given under
oath, before The House commillee Of inves.
ligalion:

but myself. There has been rome there
There are great many friends present, and

ought not TO come out, and cited grea, many
cases that had come under his observation

weeks from flows ON the head, His brother
is not medical man. Senator Sumner, OF
course, took lbe advice of his brother and
his friends, and !, of course, allowed them 10
do as they thought proper. Perhaps ought
10 stale my reason for objecling 10 his com.
ing out on Friday. There was good deal
of excitement at that time, and | thou. ht
that, if Mr.. Sumner did not go into the Sen-
ate for day or two, the excitement might
