| AAOW NOsn4hS Opinions OF democrats -
The following extracts from Know Nothing jour-
| mails, speak for themselves:
QuERrs.A contemporary asks the following question ;:
If angel from Heaven were to come down On earth n
every Democrat that the only possible mode of
%aed e to @Ts and sFg the

We can it. They he ocofoco party of this conntrvI
would not vote for Fillmore even if our sc;our WAS to
would be defeated much less an angel Thew are bound
their idols, let them alone EIz Gtu Ssnt;nsI "
Why then, gentlemen, if you believe this do YOU
persist in begging Democrats to vote for Mr.. Fill
more! We will tell you what we wiu do and what
we wouM do. We soW vote for James Buchanan
because he is national candidate, and sound on the
question OF slavery; and because he stands by far
the best chance to defeat John c. Fremont In the
south, tie friends of Mr.. Buchanan have to meet
the hnow Nothings, and in the North they have to
meet the Know Nothings and black Republicans. in
TWO brigades, for Fillmore and the other for Free

worthy letter, that it the duty of the "Ameicann
party % unite Tor the time being with any organiza

1eat the Democrats and we have no doubt that both
the Register and Sentinel concur with that gentle
man.

The Fusion in Pennsylvania.

The Fusion in Penmsylvania. sssg
The people of Pennsylvania voted on the 18th in
slant, for Canal Commissioner and other State off,
GERS, and for members Of Congress
Inc Democrats have had to meet, sngle-handed
and alone, both the Fillmore and the fremont fac.
tons, together with all the isms which act society
IN the free States. The following Geographic dis
patch is final and conclusive as to the uphallowed
coalition in Pennsylvania:
PHILADELPHIA, Oct 9.-Ihe americans and Rep,bzeons
ysssa on TIE assembly tickets in this city, also all the
he~y IS the Republican candidate.
We have before US, in the Philadelphia Times, a
Fremont paper, the proof of the fusion in Philadel-
phia-a portion Of the candidates being Fillmore
and portion Fremont men. The Fillmore men
were required to sign pledge to support the black
Republican doctrines; and the pledge, thus signed,
is published in the Times. The fusion in Pennsyl.
vania between Fillmoresm and Demonism is com.
plete. No one can deny it-every one sees it. and
admits it to be So Still, the Knoso NOTHING presses
Of the South aoiU attempt to conceal 1t from. aei,
Teaders and if this fusion have prevailed, they will
exuit as far and as openly as they dare exut over
the defeat of the national Democracy.
1t the Buchanan party should be defeated in
Pennsylvania on the l4th," is the appeal of South
ern Know Nothings to Southern Democrats, "you
must then abandon Mr.. Buchanan and 20 for Mr..
Fillmore, as the only hope of beating Fremont y
Nhat!-after this open and notorious fusion? Mr..
Fillmores friends combine with the black Republi.
cans to beat down Mr.. Buchanan and the national
Democracy; and after the Infamous coalition has
succeeded, We are asked to go to Mr. Fillmore to de-
feat the black Republicans! Never never !-nev-
er! We intend to stand or fall with James Buchanan.
Mr. Fillmore has witnessed this fusion, and has ut.
tered no word of remonstrance against it. His
Southern friends have it, and now see it, and
by their silence they have approved it. They are,
therefore, parties to it and with such men We have
no arrangements, no compromises to make We
rely upon the Democratic power of the country to
save the country. 1t has done it up 10 this hour,
and it will do it again the 4th of November,
whatever may have been the result in Pennsylvania
on the 18th. James Buchanan is stronger, by &C..
600 votes, in Pennsylvania, than any combination
that can be formed against him; and the result in
November will prove the truth of the assertion
"Never despair of the Republic"

FILLMORE ELECToR FOR BUCHANAN.-The Hon.

Gentlemen in Virginia respect the nfrnties of nature.
Richmond Enquirer
That is it-let Bolts and his black Republican fol-
lowers alone. Do not hurt them-only shun, de-
nounce and despise them. They are mere hand
ful, hardly enough to keep up constantly the sounds
from the drum of treason. If there be black Re.
publcans here, in Virginia, do not harm their
persons-let them 60, like the lepers of DID, from
amongst our habitatons, amid the pity and the
loathing of all. God may have mercy upon the
wretch who tramples on the federal Constitution,
ard betrays his native land; but man is weak, and
he 0iU detest and avoid, though he may not scourge
the traitor.
