The BLACK Democracy" of Ohio. hav
ing no hope of carrying the State this fall
on their own strength. are making desper-
ate efforts 10 "fuse" with the "Ameri-
cans for the purpose of defeating the Re
publicans. The Americans of CincipnaLi
having met and denounced the Republi-
cans in the most approved style. the
Democracy thought they saw a.chance to
make capital, and instantly the name of
j. Scott Harrison, the head and soul of
the Know Nothing party in Ohio, was an
nounced as democratic" candidate for
Governor. The Cincinnati Enquirer"
iLdorses the movement i'll the following
manner
"HoN. j. SCoTT HARRISON FOR Gov.
ERNoR AT the request of an old and
steadast Democrat OF the county, we
publish this morning a communication
from him suggesting the Hon. j. Scott
Harrison as proper person to be nomina-
ted by the Democratic State Convention,
for Governor"
Would not that be nice arrangement?
Instead of running separate candidate
with the hope of dividing the opposition
SO as to let in the Democrats, the scheme
now seems to be to nominate the leader of
the Know Nothings by the Democratic
Convention, and so unite the forces of the
two parties who are equally opposed to
the doctrine of "equal rights to all men"
as held by the Republicans.
We doubt whether the scheme can be
made to win; but The bargain is one emf
nently fit to be made. Both parties equally
deny the fundamental doctrines of our
Government and the principles OF our
Revolutionary fathers, and both equally
hate the Republicans for upholdng those
doctrines. Why, then, should there not
be a perfect fusion? The contest will
hardly be interesting if the Republicans
have to fight these two parties separately,
as usual, whereas, if they were both in
corporated into one, they might make
some show Of fight Let the fusion be
perfected!

Queer.

Early in the session Of the late Legisla-
ture, Mr.. Ralph Leet, tie Democratic
Representative from Lawrence county, in.
tioduced into that body series of joint
resolutions on the subject of Federal con-
solidation. These resolutions were re.
feIred, by vote of the House, to a select
Committee The Democratic Speaker
appointed on that Committee, Mr.. G. W
Andrews, the leader eff the party in the
House, with the author OF the resolutions,
Mr.. Leet No Republican was appointed
on the Committee.
In due time the Committee made their
report, which was printed and laid upon
the table of the members, where it re.
NAMED until near the close of the session,
when it was taken up, and after full dis
cussion by the author, 10 Republican
speaking on The subject, the Democratic
House ordered three thousand extra COP
tes to be printed al tie eepenSe of tie State
for circulation. In this action the Demo
cratic Senate promptly corcurred, and the
celebrated documents, done up in blue and
yellow covers, were distributed to the
members for public circulation. We have
few Of them which we will be happy to
hand over TO any lover Of yellow covered
literature"
But now comes the funny part of the
business. The double dyed, pro-slavery,
dough faced editors of the party, have dis
covered that The Committee have told
some very pointed trathS in their report

to the taste Of tie dough- faces aforesaid,

nounceS the document as ''illagitimate"-

of many willy Republicans and aposiate

Ry-A bargain is said to have been
agreed upon by the various factions Of the
Democratic party, headed by BUCHANAN
DOUGLAS, HUNTER, SLIDELL, BRowN, DA-
Wis and others. BY the terms of this
treaty, it is thought the fallen fortunes of
the party can be retrieved, and the Presi-
dental election carried in 1860.
A platform has been agreed upon which
will take the Dred Scott Decision as a
firality on which all are to stand, while
the leaders are TO explain it to suit the
purposes of the several factions, and the
local prejudices of the people. Douglas
and his followers in the North will man
tain that under that Decision "popular
sovereignty' is to settle the question OF
slavery in all the Territories. The Hun
ter faction will maintain that under the
Decision neither Congress SIS nor the people
can interfere in any way to establish or
prohibit slavery in the Territories. but
that the Federal Courts must protect it
therein, and that the President must use
the Army and Navy to carry out their
DEGREES. Davis and his followers viii!
maintain that it is the duty of Congress
to pass a code Of slave laws for the Terri
tories; while other wings and sections OF
the party are to play into the prejudices OF
the people as may best promise local sue
cess. The offices are of course to be di-
vided among the leaders as a reward foI
their services in this scheme Of deception
and political swindling.
OF course it is perfectly understood
that the most extreme proslavery action
will mark the Administration thus elected
if the plan succeeds. And in the contest
we will have the extreme disunion- slave
traders plotting for the legalization of pi-
racy, that they may flood the country with
savage negroes from Africa, while "cheeh

sumo risks except at very high rates.
