 Stepping-Stone es from one Ism to the other.
 HENRY M. FULLER came to Congress upon the antN ebraSki- Kansas excitement, defeating HENDRICKS B. WRIGHT, one of the most na- tional men of the north, who had staked his fate upon this measure of justice to the south. BANKS, the abolition member of Congress from Massachusetts, got there upon the same furor.
 FULLER was taken up by the Know Noth- ngs as their candidate for speaker FULLER voted for PENNINGTON and PENNINGTON for BANKS
 HAVEN, of New York, Mir. FILLMoRE's law partner, and representative in Congress, and personal and political confidant and adviser, and who voted to restore the Missouri compro- mise, voted awhile for FULLER and then voted for the notorious aboitionist LEWIS D. CAMP BELL, of Ohio.
 When FILLMORE was nominated, the same LEWIS D. CAMPBELL attended a ratification meeting in Washington arm-n- arm with Mir. CR1TTENDEN. The American Organ at Wash lngton applauded and complimented Mir. CAMP BELL. The Organ is vouched for by southern Know Nothing members of Congress, as the authorized" exponent of their party princ- pies.
 The Organ and the Louisville Journal de- nounced the repeal of the Missouri compro- mise line and demanded its restoration. The New York Tribune and all the black republi- can papers, do the same thing The Know Nothing convention at Phiade- phla denounced the administration for the re- peal of the Missouri line. The black republi- can convention, sitting at Pittsburg at that time, did the same thing.
 The negro worshipping papers are charging that the southerners have invaded Kansas by armed hordes and driven out, by force, the peaceabe free State citizens of that territory. Southern Know Nothing journals have raised the same cry.
 The black republicans are appealing to all sections to unite in crushing out the slave democracy, in order to bring the government bach'' to its original stand point. The Know Nothlngs are doing the same through their pa- pers and their public speakers
 The Know Nothings in their Philadelphia convention assailed the democrats, but whis- pered not syllable against black republicans. The black republicans in their Pittsburg con- ventlon assailed the democrats, but said not a word against the Know Nothinss.
 In the Ohio Legislature, the Know Nothinas went to the aid of the black republicans and assisted them in electng their candidate for the United States Senate over the national de- mOcrat. Tn the recent Connecticut Legislature, upon the suggestion of HORACE GREELEY, the black republicans went to the rescue of the Know Nothngs and enabled them to defeat Senator IoUcY, one of the best friends the south ever had from the north.
 The Know Nothings have been strong in the north; so have the black republicans The black republicans find foot hold in but two slave holding States-Maryla and Kentucky. The Know Nothings have carried but two Slare-holding States n Mary land and Ken lucky.
 Black repubcanism has excited dangerous fanatlclsm among the preachers Know Notn- ngism has resulted in the same thing. Each have carried politics into the pulpit Each have banded men together by secrecy and oaths. Both are violent, proscriptive and dangerous One has had its mobs and riots, and the other Its rebellion and civil war
 Such is the striking similarity, the evident congeniality, the close proximity and the easy gradation from the one dangerous ism to the other. Let the welt meaning men of both ol- ders reflect and take warning, ere the day and the hour come upon them when 1t will be too late to repent.
