The Fusion Programme
The Fusionists have marked cut their plan
az action in the coming contest Another
general ~amalganatios Of isms is intended,
snd every artihce IS to be resorted to, to
sgsin organize 8 majority against the DemOe-
raoy. 10 SGT Of principles bind thom to-
ssther no questions Of National or State
roicy govern their conduct. They viii at
tempt cohesion uati after the election, and
then explode again, as they did in 1851
% they can procure Office and is emolu-
uaents, they viii have attained the great OBJ
jects Of their leaders.
The first public movement IS the Temper.
sncs Convention Of the ed February. 1t
win assemble aud pass is resolutions, ae-
sording to order. After it shall have adjourn
al. probably some one Of the other factions
nay in Ike manner assemble aud dilate
upon the Nebraska question aud its c~orrela-
h7es. The order has already gone forth,
shat a reorganization Of the Know Nothing
order Is to be bad in every county OF the
s.Ats. They are TO be instructed, drilled,
sad directed in all their duties by their chiefs
aud travelling missionaries and emissariss, IN
the selection of candidates for office at the
October election, and for the Senatorial seats
u<rnxin be vacant at Washington city,
ttese managers are now travsrs-
ing the State, arranging these matters to suit
their individual cases. They will all be ar
ranged and cut and dried in the dark lantern
halls, long before the meetiag of the general
Fusion convention Of the 1st Of May.
When tho misealled Peoples convention
shaTl convene at Indianapolis, It has an easy
and well -undsrstood task to psrforn. It viii
,rocsed 70 indorss all that the Temperance
convention may have adopted in the shape
Of sentiments, resolutions, etc. Next the
nti-Eebraska Abolitisn doctrine, as present.
sd by Senator Wusoy Of Massachusetts, will
he incorporated, and all other ssnH and FAC
,lons will be encouraged and courted. Reli-
sious intolerance will again be invoked and
f~,nsical prejudice stirred up. The grand t.
rals will bs tue ratif alton Of the nomina-
4 OrS WHICH lhNS 6tt-6Gg -
Tnow EothIngs, aud two-thirds OF the sim
,le-mindsd Tusiouists will be made to be-
iisve that they have controlled and settled
tbs business Of the convention and nominal
,,d Fl, candidates, when, In reality, they were
cply confirming in public what had been Sc
eretlv determined bsGoro by the sous OF IN
visible sam.
These ars the designs of the Frsionists to
.usta,u themselves. but they will most sig
rsIlv fail. They viii not be able again to
snlrap tbs psople into their Know Nothing
alliances. They forget that the public have
s.eu "Sanp in all Of his scenes Of not, arson
Iloodshed and murder. They forget that
raany really sincerely Pious and christian
raen who were misled By thOir trades against
catholic influences, and foreign domination
have dissipated the veil that for awhile OBJ
.cured the correctness Of their vision they
forget that 4 very large number OF National
Wings. who abhor their doctrines OF Adolf
ton disuuion viii never again act with then
politically. They must fail in their efforts tc
delude Temperance Democrats by their ont
cry against tho moral feelings Of the democ'
racy. The prestige Of their success has van
ishsd. The elections throughout the State
have given the strongest proof that the peo-
lie ara again aroused to a vigorous defence OF
their rights. and that the democracy are in
,lch a majority as to leave no doubt OF It'll
,nceess when the doy OF trial shall come. !
" the duty of the people to watch with vigi
lance, tho Vaccinations and stratagems o
their enemies, and to stand firm in support
Of correct principles.
