IL MNn's Pay.

Some of the black Republicans are discover
ing that the advice put forth by Greeley and
re echoed by the editor of the Cadiz Republican
and other aoeqk affairs, for the Free State men
in Kansas not to vote at the coming election in
that territory for Delegates to frame Constitu-

are endeavorng to change the position of the
party by advising the Free State men to vote
to recognize the territorial laws, &c, as the
Free State party done at the late election in
Lcavenworth City. Among the number who
are opposed to Greeley's advice, and think that
it will not pay is the National Era and the
Ohio State Journal 1t is supposed that oul
neighbor, Mr.. Hatton, will have to change his
position; although he will be in a straight whe.

meeting Of the clique that controls his paper
will have to be held to decide the matter fol
him. Whatever they decide will be his opinion
We shall await the result of the cliques decis

opinion thus
In view of this state of things, the question is
asked what ought the Free State men to do?-
The New York Tribune, and other leading Re-
publican papers, advise them to do nothing, to
abstain from all participation in the fraud, and
let the Slave State men vote their Slave State
tickets without molestation. We do not regard
this unwlse counsel; we do not think il even po-
litic. Our advice would be for every Free State
man to vote on the day of election.

all our readers will carefully examine this law,

Vhc t,hiuese KNOW Nothimws.

Late accounts from China tell us that the ma
tiyes there are down on foreigners. They have
adopted some pretty severe measures to clear
out the ''barbarians," as they term the English
and Americans. Indeed, they do not stand back
for triles, in furthering their ''natite projects
but have gone even so far as to poison the bread
and water in those places where any foreigners
reside. Those Chinese make splendid Know
Nothings! They carry their hatred of all that
is foreign to an extreme which throws our mod
ern X Ms far into the back ground. Altho'
much violence and blooshel have attended the
advent of the 'natiye party in our country,
yet, the native Chinese have split rivers ofblood
where our ''natives' have shed drops. The
fact is, the system iscarried on to perfection in
that country--here, we have only miniature
edition. 1t is true, that fora start, the Amer-
can X. Ms. created quite an amount ofmischief
but they must acknowledge that the Chinese
beat them "all hollow" and stand before the
world as the completest set of Know Nothings
extant. They deserve all the glory that car
possibly follow a course of prescription again
anything foreign to their native soil--fom the
roasting of a missionary to the poisoning of hun
dreds of their own citizens in order to get rid
Of few 'barharans." However, the "Ameri
can party need not feel discouraged at being

Col. George w. NEcCook.

A correspondent of the New Lisbon Patriot
under date of "Washington City, April 25
1857 speaks thus truthfully of that able
champion of Democratic principles, Col. George
w. McCook:-
"During recent visit to Southern Ohio,
was much pleased to see the interest already
manifested by the Democracy Of that section
as regards the next falls campaign, and the
high hopes entertained as to the result. Among
the many prominent names spoken of in con
ncction with the the Democratic nomination for
Governor was that of Col. GEo. w. McCooK
of Jefferson county. Without wishing to dis
parasc any of the others (for they are all wor-
thy and good Democrats,) | must say that
know of no man in the State who would make
a better standard bearer, both as regards quail
fications and expediency, for the Ohio Democ-
racy, than Col McCook. A young man, full Of
life and energy, an eloquent and convincing
debater, and q Democrat who always has been
found ready for the contest his nomination wo'd
create an enthusiasm especially among the
young Democracy, which would be the sure
precursor of a Democratic triumph. Place hin
on the stump, and he has but few, if any supe
riors, either as regards soundness of argument
or eloquence
