at makes very little difference who the
Democrats may nomiaatr," say our boasiing
Know Nothing oppon-nis. True ior lei the
Democratic nominee b. James Buchanan, Pres
ldent Pierce, or any other good and true natiou-
al man, his election is sure positively certain.
He viii sweep the Union, north, east, west and
south, leaving the kuow Nothing and Black
Republican opponent 50 deep in The "siough OF
de spond," that the hand Of resurrection can new
er reach him. 1t is utterly impossible for the
discordant material composing the Know Moth
ing party to even make respectable show Of
opposition 20 the Democratic party-the only
znatinaal party aowsin existence. As an evl-
dencr Of want Of harmony in that faction,
may point TO the long st9nggie in Congress
10 elect Speaker, and tbs, bitter animosty that
existed, and still! exists, between the Soufh-
AmericanS and .Norfh-Americans This re-
lrnli1Ss war occupied two months OF the session
Of Congress, and cost the people between two
and three hundred thousand dollars. The con
test ended in the election of Banks. an av0wed
AboIitionist, and the Soufh-Americans were
foorrd. Indeed, Know Nothngsm in the
Northern States is at this time nothing more
nor less than AboHinnisir, and hence ii is that
we find the Know Nothing members of our
State Legislature making public appeal 10 the
Black Republicans to join hands with them in
t'oGe grand effort TO defeat The Damocracv.--
They tried that game last fall in this State. in
the attempt 10 unite on candidate tor Canal
Commissioner, bat 'sthp bargain and sale" was
rppudated by the prorlp and Nicholson was
defeated, and Arnold plnnes, true Democrat,
and ardent supporter ot ;hr National Admins
tration, was elected. SO viii Il he again. The
attpmp, to unite The AboIitipnistS, Know Moth
ings and old line Wings, may be suggested bv
willy drmagoeues who gamble in politics, bnt
the thing is impractica5le. IN the North, it is
true. the Know Nothlngs and AboIitionists NAV
pull together, with the understanding that the
spoiiS are 10 b. equally divided. but the old line
Wings, who venerate tip laws and The ConSi-
tuition, and who cannot forget The teachings of
their late leaders, Clav and Webster. viii rrcoil
at the base proposition, and Fnsh from them, as
they would a purified cartass, the foul mass OF
corruption that tie Know NothingS and Aboli-
tionSts desire to present 10 them. The old line
Wings, we say, can never malgamate with Alb
olitonisn and Know NothnaSm, and will, in
sri-defenct, join the Democracy, to put down
the factions and iSins that now disturb The peace
of the country.
j is evident, then, that ait makes very little
difference who the Democrats may nominate
for the Presidency, for his triumphant election
is a ''tixed fact" The factions may rave and
show their teeth, but they cannot avert the re-
suIt. The people have sworn in their hearts
that all enemies to the Constitution must and
shall be put down, and kept down, and they
will carry ont this determination at thr polls.
