duty as public journalists, for we owed it to
the Democracy TO give them the information,
a. n matter Of news, which that call contain
ed, and the most common courtesy demand
ell that we should comply with the request
of the numerous signers TO the call. Had
the journal been free press it would also
have published this call, and given its Know
Nothing readers the benefit of the publica-
ton. But the Journal is fearful that this
movement of the FILLMORE men may cause
breach between the Know Nothings and
the AbolitionistS in the State and thereby
lessen the strength of FREMONT. Onr neigh
Dor need not fear that the Ssntind will be-
