We have published the proceedings had

Of Fusion editors held in this city an the. 18th

determined upon re-enacting the platform
which served its purnoso the former year,
when the Planks were fresh and new, bui
which ttmblsd daun alssr sx posed 10 the Gle

wondered at that an elifce constructed of
such materials should 50 soon have crumbled
to dust. The only astoniShment is, that our
opponents. after the experience they have
had in platform building. should endeavor to
patch M another e.iifce from the old. worn
ont and rotten plank instead Of looking about
them for more durable material

or the Black Republican party to fight, but
a coalition or fusion Of the two, together with
such ether scattering isms as may have an
axe to grind and for whom the Democratic
party will no; turn the srindsione. A few ed

If these editors sver really believed what
they wero constantly pouring into The ears Of
their readers. We eresums they are by this
time undeceived, bat we doubt very much
whether they win undeosive those who de-
pend upon them for political information.
When the Fusion editors GOT together it
was found that aboIitionism was zone too
many for Know Notl.ingism-thata although
they might hate the Germans and Irish a
great deal they hated the people ofthe South
and their institutions good deal more. The
idea of ignoring the Slavery question and
fighting the next battle in Indiana on National
principles, or ot.selying upon the Know Moth
ing mummery aud nonsense for success, was
laughed b scOrn by these editors.
Those. therefore, who have clung to the
lingering hope that they might be able 10 CO.
operate with party entertaining national
views without attaching themselves to the
Democratic organization and voting for
Its candidates, will find themselves disap-
pointed. Blood stained Know Nothiugism
