MoYEMENTS oF THE KNOW .NoTHINGs.

We learn that Mr.. j. T. Headley, literary and
political romancer of the now-nothng dispensation
residing in the Empire State, has joined hands with
Mr. Greeley in an effort to induce the republicans to
receive himself and a few of his associates into the
abolition ranks We trust Mr.. Headley will be
cessful. He will then have grand field upon which
to display his Imagination, perhaps producing
work to be entitled 'Greeley and Generals, inclu-
ding pretty sketch of the life and services of Thur
low Weed, VIM. Lloyd Garrison, Fred. Douglass and
others of that type. We anticipate good many
capital things to spring from Mr.. J. T. Headley's
pen should the republicans consent to receive him
into their ranks. He has been a great wanderer
and book of political travels could not fail to at
tract the eye of the public. Mr.. Headley has had
his cups and downs, having experienced recently
sad reverse in the result of the Kentucky cleo
tons AN he is understood to have been one
Of that sagacious party who got up in June
last the Great Peoples Movement looking to
the election of Mr. Senator Crittenden to the
presidency in 1860 The somewhat sudden and
very disastrous termination of that affair to man
less buoyant and hopeful than Mr. Headley would
have been regarded absolutely fatal. Not 3d.
however, with Mr.. j. I. Headley. His business is
to get in with strong party, and he is not 80 fool
sh as to vex himself about matters of princi-
pie. The know-nothing organization is gone, and
Mr.. Headley has no idea Of playing the game of the
"old-line whigs, sitting the grave of the defmct
concern and swearing an eternal widowerhood. The
August elections indicated pretty conclusivey that
Mr.. Headey's party had ''run out, and he applied
at once to Mr. Greeley for admission in the rcpubli-
can church.
This may be regarded as the beginning the coun-
try viii take notice that Mr.. Headley's has been
disposed Of He has been duly installed as repub-
lican. All the republicans will at once pronounce
him patriot of the first water
What tickle and changing world is this 1t was
only two years ago that Mr.. Headey, proud in the
might and majesty of power, hurled thunderbolts of
destruction into the republican ranks, and invoked
all the people to quickly into the folds of the
great allconquering know-nothing party. How are
the mighty fallen

Col Curtiss one Of the black-republican members
of Congress from the State of Iowa. is candidate
for reelection. In speech recently made at Des
Moines, this gentleman preached an idea which he
will doubtless endeavor to elevate to the dignity of
political issue He declares it to be the duty of the
administration 'to purchase the Fraser river coun-
try, Puget Sound, &C., of the British government
Tt should be tried, at least The Iowa State Jour
nal suggests that the Colonel should be immediately
despatched to England to buy this territory. Eng
land is not much in the habit of selling territory
but as the Colonel ia the originator of this idea of
purchasing the Fraser river mines he should have
the opportunity of managing the negotiations. The
circumstance that creates the most astonisment in
this connexion is that politician belonging to a
party always opposed to the acquisition of territory
should raise new issue looking to the annexation of
gold mines But such changes among the politicians
Of the opposition are now becoming common. Even
Horace Greeley admits that properlyconstituted
slave State cannot be refused admission into the
Union and this, too, in the face of the Philadelphia
platform of 1856.

A LITTLE PoLTICAL ARrTHMErrc.--It is not given
to man to look into the future and disclose with alb
soute certainty the coming events of hfe There are
even in matters Of human prophecy is far moro of
a skeptic than philosopher. For instance, we start
with the proposition that the democratic party are
largely and will remain for years to come largely in
the ascendant in sixteen of the thirty-one States of
the Union. Sixteen States, it will be conceded is
very large political capital to operate upon and
when it is remembered that they are controlled by
an honest, manly, patriotic and energetic party
they become absolutely formidable we should think
to the vagrant opposition. Well then, with sixteen
democratic States, we enter the great struggle of
1860 under many advantages. They are not enough
to elect President We have sixteen more to choose
from and as niggerism is the basis Of all opposi-
ton in the latter, and as that sublime humbuc is
fairly played out, including Kansas and Mr. Seward
contest between free and slave labor we may
reasonably calculate upon carrying at least half these
for the democratic party.
Ii is well for tho opposition factions to look these
matters fully and squarcly In the face If they have
particular favorites to from defeat they had
each better nominate somebody else for the pres;-
dency IT. on the contrary, it is their design merely
to distinguish their with nominations, they can
accomplish this more satisfactorily by remaining as
distinct factions, thus widening tho way of pre-
ferment Know-nothingsm having fairly gone by
the board, and negroism disgraoed, VIC do not see
what can be done for the factions
