Know nottingham and Black Repub
liCarfsn


10 looking over our exchanges, since the
nominations Of the opposition State Conyen-
ton Of May 1St, we notice that every Know
Nothing journal Of this State, with single
exception, which flies at lbs masthead the
names OF FILLMORE and DoNELsoS, supports
the Black Republican Ticket for State OFF,
GERS. This fact is of but little significance any
farther than il affords indubitable evidence of
the truth of the charge put forth in the card
OF GEo. w. JULIAN, that Know Nothingism
figures largely as an element of the Black
Republican party-that the HiEdoos had
much to do in clicking into shape" the ticket
nominated by our opponents for State Off
GERS The two factions whose political ac-
ron Is at war with every principle of patriot
ism and love of the Union, are in fit CON-
panionship in their attempts to bling into dis
grace the American name and Character
The uncompromising sectionalism of the one,
b fair and equitable offset to the bigoted
intolerance Of the other. The ragged points
Of their character being thus equalized, each
one Of the afiiliating parties is protected
against the assaults of the other, on the ground
that those who have defects themselves are
bot little inclined to remark about those of
oSbsrs. Hence it is that Know Nothingism
and Black Republication go on so swim
pingly together in their common warfare
against the Democracy of Indiana. All quar-
pels are postponed for the present. so as not
to interfere with those delightful littlAplans
by which the twin factions so confidently ex-
pset to secure 'tLs spoils'' of victory. Were
there any possible danger of their joint eff
forts being crowned with success, we might
reasonably promise ourselves feast over
the rich scenes that wonld be enacted at the
very threshhold Of their housekeeping
operations under union based upon consid-
erstions 30 mereenary and heartless. 1t
would be worth the contents of moderate
iy filed sheepskin wallet to ''circle round"
and see the fight that would 90 on through
the whole government domicil, from cellar
to garrett
But we do not anticipate that oppor-
tunity for any such exhibition will be given
70 the "Fusionists," by the people of Inii-
ana. Phey have signifed their fixed deter
mioation to block the game Of these political
mssqueradets, most effectually, at the ballot
hon. in October. TO the proscriptive policy
Of the Know Nothinss they have most in
vincibIe hatred. No power of persuasion
could induce them, for q moment, to lend
their aid, direct or indirect, to a faction
whose creed is a libel upon the institutions
Of our country. Nor are the fanatical and
misehievous designs Of the Abolition wing
Of the opposition any more palatable to the
Usat mass Of the voters Of this State, than
sss the illiberal snd bigoted sentiments Of
their allies, the Know Nothings. If we
we're inclined TO doubt this fact, the evidence
that IS pouring in upon US, from day to day
from all parts of the State, would soon dis
ppl that doubt. From present appear,
snces. we feel safe in predicting for Indi-
zna, m fhs present campaign, one of the
sAost sweeping and decisive Democratic VIE
tories that it has ever been her fortune TO
