| At their Old Tricks"
| Our sham democratic brethren begin to feel
like drowning men, to judge by the spasmodic
efforts they make to 'catch at straws" They
are just now trying to dig up the miserable car
cass of Know Nothingsm, and fasten it upon
the Republican party as a scare-crow to brighten
our adopted citizens tito the support Of the
Slave power. 1t is evidently concerted
scheme among the slavery extension democrats
throughout the State. Tho Milwaukee Ne,cs
the Madison Argus, the Appleton Crescent, the
Fon du Lac Union, the Racine Democrat, and
others of that stripe, all begin the operation
about the same time. The Argus charges Hon.
l., p Harvey with being Know Nothing. and

Harvey never had anything TO do with the dark
lantern order, but what of that 1t knew also
that there is more truth than poetry in the old

Georgia. while truth was putting on its boots
But it would do to hang caution on for foreign
ers to beware Of Republicans. The Racine
Democrat is Just about as smart in its ATTEMPT.
1t charges the editor ofthe Racine Adrocatc with
being Know Nothing, and when he is told
that so far from being Know Nothing, the ed
tor of that paper is himself foreigner it sagely
remarks that if it was not so, ''he would not
rest under the charge But, mark the con SIS
tency Of the Democrat. 1t winds up its silly
twaddle with these words--"For the credit ofthe
country ace arc glad he sras not born here J." show
ing its own Know Nothing proclivities plainly
enough.
The truth is, ell this clap-trap about Know
Nothingism, is just like the theft crying "stop
thief" A gubernatorial election is to be held
this fall, and the Slavery extension Democracy
IS trying to manufacture little capital for the
campaign. Our adopted citizens are too well ac-
quainted with such tricks to be hoaxed or fright
ened into the support of a party whose sole OBJ
Ject is to strengthen the slave power, which is
the only real Know Nothing element in the
country.
The only strength of the Democrats is at the
South among shareholders, and the main
strength 0! Know Nothingism is at the South
among shareholders. Put these two facts TO-
gethef, and what does it indicate Ii proves Iust
what we Lave always said that the reai Know
Nothing party of the country is the democratic
party And foreigners will find, if ever shan
democracy obtains absolute sway that II is but
one step from prescription On account of color
to prescription an account OF birthplace or re- |
ligion.
