The Southern organs Of the Know Nothing party
which advocate a union Of the opposition against
the National Democracy, knowing that the Black
Republican party will constitute the largest pro-
portion Of the new organization, have devoted much
Of their time to Whi,eWashiug their woody head F."
brethren at the North to render them acceptable
allies to the Southern wing of the opposition. These

Of the who will lead and control the opposition

These are the statements of men with whom the
Know Nothings of the South are invited to affiliate
These are the leaders of the party which cur Know
Nothing Press prefer to the Northern Democracy.
We will now contrast these gems of Black Repub-
Icsn patriotism with
The Sentiments of the Northern De"
mOcraCys
We will not refer to the action of that party for
the last thirty years. during all of which time it has
acted with the South on the subject of Slavery We
will not quote from their platforms and speeches
during the presidential canvass We will cODfne
rself to the cOnteRts of a single number of the
Boston Post containing account Of Democratic
meeting held in that hot bed Of sbOitiOnism on the
Iltb of October, 1858 The following are some Of
the resolutions adopted on the occasion.
ResolUsd, That the national of the city of
Boston aud Suffolk county holding the policy Of the
present national administration 10 be IN strict acoor
dance with the maxtms of Thomas Jtferson, which
enjlin 'The sum Of good government" "equal
aud exact justice 10 all men, Of Wharever state or
persuasion, religious poiueal;" 'peace,
meTce and honest friendship with all nations,
tauqnR alliances with nOne;' 1.-THE support Of the
state governments in all their rights, as the most
competent administrations OF our domestic concerns,
and the bulWarks against anti republican
tendencies" and pr servstioD Of the general gov
eminent in It's whole oOusit lricnal vigor, as the

do hereby accord 70 that administration our sp-
provsl and support y
ResoiUed, That we cannot approve Of the policy Of
the present ADMINISTRATION, which is distin
gushed by reckless disregard of the interests and
good faith of Massachusetts, manifested in
senseess aud hypocriica agitation OF questions
tirely foreign the duties Of state government;
and we feel bound TO hold up to public condemna-
ton the leading measures Of that administration in
the unconstitutional removal from Office, of an up
right and faithful judge, simply for the reason that
he had honestly discharged sworn duty under the
oonsut tuition Of he United States For these, among
other causes, we hold the Banks party IS unworthy
of support in its policy is of being follow

general government.
RssoiUsd That the present is an opportuue period
for redeeming the state Of Massachusetts from the
control Of the unprincipled sectional party which
now holds her In bondage at home, and peTverts her
influence in the national councils; and democrats
of Suffolk county, having these objects in view

merit success. And call upon all true national
men among us, who love the Uuion and desire to see
Massachusetts arrayed the side of lis supporters
