gaiIs sitting at the mouth of-the;r cave and il--
effcctnaily gnashing their toothless gums at the
passers-by, is fit emblem OF Pope Bartlett and
his bulls. If we approved of that acay of con-
trolling the votes of freemen under republican
system, we should like it to have at least the
effect of extingnising few of the Northern
Know-nothing abolition FIRE brands; but Kmo,c-
motAimgism has alaoays prored itself poaeerless
creept as pamder TO }amaticism. TO fill the
national House of Representatives with aboli-
tionists-to elect Banks-and to give Fremont
all his prestige, are the sole natural achieve
ments of American Know nothingism.
We copy from the Boston Atlas, the follow
ing report of the reception of the Bull in the
Massachusetts American State Council:
