The Black Republicans have brought the
Know Nothing party to a premature death
The Americans that they placed upon guard
have deserted them and connected them
selves with either democratic party, or the
miserable factions of tories and hessians-
descendants Of King Georges Cow boys of
'76-known as Black Republicans. Even
the President of the Know Nothing Nation
al Convention, has deserted their sinking
ship, and gone over to the Reps. They are
absorbed by the niger worshippers in the
north, and are not sufficiently numerous in
the south to secure single electoral vote.
| 1t is fact, which the result OF the election
Will demonstrate, that the Know Nothing
party are not more numerous in the United
States now than was the Birney party in
Al, or the Van Buren party in As. This is
felt, known and admitted throughout the
Atlantic world Fillmore has no electoral
/ ticket in many of the northern States, and
yet the Fillmore press of California, have
the hardihood and unblushing impudence to
blow about their nationality, and their glo-
rious prospects in the Atlantic States, with
the faint hope that they can induce the in
telligent voters of California, TO elect Know
Nothings enough to the Legislature to ena

Infamous and wholesale lies with regard to
Fillmore's prospects, in the Atlantic States,
and that papers are dropping Buchanan and

According to the Sacramento American,
and the Marysvile Inquirer, Mr. Fillmor's
prospects have been growing brighter for
the last six months. We have never believ-

gard to it. These papers rectntly stated
that the Monroe (Michigan) Commercial had
dropped Buchanan and gone over to Fre-

leaves the hopeless cause OF Fillmore, and
joins the Republican ranks, these Know
Nothing organs seek to make cupital for
their party in California, by pervesion OF
facts. But to return to the "brightening
prospects of Millard Fillmore" The Editors
Of the American and the Inquirer have
blowed so long and so hard about the cleo
ton of Mr.. Fillmore, that we feel like ask
ing them how many States Mr. Fillmore
will carry in November Eexi; As we ask
with view to investment, we should be
pleased to have them designate the States
that are going to cast sufficient number of
electoral votes for Mr.. Fillmore to place him
