Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1857-09-09
Col. NJ. Hasson,

a few know-Nothings who are extremely
anxious to figure in politics, have been very
active during the present week. in election
eerng among the persons attending Court,
against Colonel Hasson the Democratic car
didatc for Register and Recorder Accord
cording to their representations. nothing but
the election OF Mr. Zahm, can or will save
the country. We have no desire to curb the
commcndable desire of tn sc Apostles ofKnow-
Nothingism, to take their +" light from under
bushel and let it shine before men," but rs
friends we beg leave to assure them, that
when they undertake to disorganize the Dem
ocratic party and elect Mr.. Zahm, they are
going into a . very large field, with ghty

There are few reasons why every Demo-
crat in the county should vote for Colonel
Hasson, which our Know \ othing neighbors
will doubtless regard as triies, light as air,
but which we are confident will have no little
influence among the % unterrifcd" on the sec
ond Tuesday of next October. For the benefit
of Known Nothing -would-be politicians, We
will state them Because be is the regularly
nominated candidate Of the party for Regis
ter and Recorder. That he was fairly and
honestly nominated, eyen the meanest Know
! Nothing in the county will not deny. Because
he is we'll qualified for discharging the duties
of the office, and win make prompt and
obliging officer. In the language of Mr..
Zahm, if elected he will discharge tho du-
ties of the Office promptly and satisfactorily. p
Because be is and always has been, an active
and efficient Democrat, faithful alike through
good and evil report. in sunshine and in
storm. Because his defeat would tend to
disorganize the party, aud enable the Know
J Nothirgs TO boast that they had triumphcd
in the Democratic banner county of Western
Pennsylvania. And finally. because his OPP
ponent, George e. X. zahu. although pro-
Tossing to bca volunteer, is reaiyit'.e candi-
date Of the combined forces of K,top-Noth-
ingism and Black Republicanisna, and they
are the " Independent voters" on whom be
