Grand Fusion Of Democrats and
EnOyy-EOTiaings ia Ohio

grand Fusion Of Democrats and
E.noyy-Norilings ia Ohio.
We perceive by several Of our exchan-
ges, t rat the Know Nothings are making
a PEI feet fusion with the Democrats IN
IOhio. In GAINESVILLE, the K. n. county
Iconvt ntion abandoned their own and de-
clare for the Democratic state ticket, IN
return for which the Democrats give them
half the county officers. In Madison coun-
ty th, K. Ms and Democrats support one
ticket In Columbus, similar union has
been made on the county ticket. The
|leade Of the Administration forces at the
Icapitt |, is Gen. Jas. H. Geiger, who, as the
State Joaunal observes:
Al Is heretofore been one Of the most
active and influential members efihe know
nothil Q order, AMI who, two years ago, and
last ar, in the Fillmore campaign, spoke
Of the ignorant Dutch andi the low Irish,
in pre- eselv the same terms that he now
speak of The .niggess.' If we are not
misla zen, in some Of bis speeches then, he
gave he preference to the negroes voting
over lie foreigners. Now, this gentleman,
with out having recanted-without having
taken back one single word Of denuncia-
ior and abuse Of the id Dutch and the
.bl 3olv furriner,' is taken into full com
munion with the locofoco church, and Is
Immediately made a political exhorter for
he benefit Of the miserable stuff they cali
democracy"
At Marietta, in the same State the
Know Notllings in convention passed a
resolution the effect that if the Ameri-
can state central committee thought teSt
to with draw Col. Van Trump they would
cheerfu!ly give the vote of 'old Washing
Iiagton' for Hon. Henry B. Paine, the Dem
ocratic nominee.
The effects of this union has been to
lrive the Germans from the party. Thus
in Columbus, fifty Germans who never yo
ted the Republican ticket are out for
Chase. In Cleveland, tour hamdred have
pledged themselves to oppose hereafter the
Democratic organization. In Cincinnati
over a thousand have taken the same
course And so it goes all over the state.
| The Columbus Germans make the follow
ing plucky pledge:
ave, the undersigned, naturalized citi-
zens Of Columbus, have heretofore cheer
/ fmh supported the democratic ticket, from
the fact that we were innocent enough to
suppose that the party was liberal in its
views, and opposed to know nothingistn
but fom recent developments, we are sat
i>fed the party only wishes to use us mere
| ly as 'hewers Of wood and drawers of wa
ter treating us kindly before election and
kicking US aftcrward. We have therefore
pledged ourselves to abstain from support
ling the democratic ticket at the coming
election, for the following reasons:
"lst A majority of the officers holding
office under our democratic President, are
know-nothings.
''2d. Several individuals on our state
ticket, belong TO the order.
"3d. A majority Of our city officers, e.
lected as democrats belong TO the order
awe have heretofore, by our votes, built
mp the democratic party, and in return for
our SURFACES, we have received nothing but
contumely and insult.
ave leave then, therefore, in the Ian
guage of Harrison, to do their own voting
and their own fighting"
A NATIONAL PARTY.-Our readers will
geta good an idea what the Nationalisn,
of the Democratic party consists of from
the following extract as from any other
possible source. They will see that it is
simply to sustain Southern rights and
southern interests, and to recognize the
South and its Institutions as prominent and
dominant in all things: 9'
Governor Walker is Southern man !;
he has been sent out by an administration
pledged to the defense of. Southern rights:
lie is surrounded by a corps Of officers,
most of them from the South, and every
one of them sound National men; he was
instructed to regard the Territorial author
Iiues as legal, and sustain them against the
rebellion Of The Topeka aboIilioal,ts; he is
acting in concert with the friends of the
South, and gallantly fighting their enc
mics. We cannot help but think that
such man, SO sent, so instructed, so sur
rounded, and so acting, is entitled to sym
pa;hy, comfort, and aid from the Sout i,
whenever they can be given with con
IscienIious regard to truth. With such a
battle raging in bis front, it was ungracious
TO open this fire on his rear, Washington
Union, Aug. Z.
COMPLIMENT 10 GOVERNOR BAsHFoRD.
The following resolution was offered in
The State Convention by Mr.. Booth, and
unanimously adopted, doing honor to our
present Republican Executive:
Resolved, That the warmest thanks Of
the Republican party of Wisconsin are due
