TIE Democratse a.d Knoso Sofhing F~
rio..--We have vestila,ed the fasion OF the
Douglas wing Of the Democracy OF tbs S'a'e.
With the Belleseretites, BY referring TO the
pas. opinions of The leaders OF the democracy
ia regard to ,h. charaeters of the latter. We
have shown tina, they styled the American
PARTY: .murierers, /" 'cut-throass. coao-
drels," smideight assassins" xc-, for the
purpose Of exhibiting 10 tn fns'ng parsies
the strange ASSOCIATION thus thrown together
so that they can see themselves as Others
see Them We are truly sorry that our
neighbor ofthe yeffersonian should so far have
mistaken cur objec', rs to sttr'bu,eto us RE
veng, ful' feelings in our efforts to hold the
mirror up to nature :" or that grief in con-
sequence sloald so excessively" weigh down
his spirits! We have wondered, in the clas-
sic language If former writer OF editor iass
for the jeff. with whose style the present
editor Of that paper is iarniliar,) at the 'spon-
taneous gush VI sentiment in favor Of uni
ting parties Il such anupodal proPeusitles IS
the past history of these two show. tba. flows
from his pen! Why only look at tie ''gish:
I'VE like the Bell and Everett men because
they are god fellows. noble feiiows. pasriosic
fellows. who stand upon the bread PLATFORM

Notwithstanding the Indiana State SEMI

that difference Of opinion on the question
of naturalization still exists between The De
mocrats and Know No,hing>-,h"t question

great democr ratio party will again take up tn
natural weapons of abuse, it used with sue
volubllty against the Fillmore party, in orde
to excite the wrath Of our foreign born cit

night assassins;" but who are now such 5000
fellows! noble fellows!! patriotic fellows! !!
J Our neighbor differs with the Sentinel; b
says that GALL the questions involved in III
Know Nothing party have long since bee
settled by the almost unanimous voice Of IL
people of this Republic vet he publiShe
and endorsed the Sentinel's article on fusiol
only few weeks ago, in which the emphat
i inquiry is made, followed by an argument tina
] was deemed 10 be a incher, which we agai
publish In order to refresh our neighbor
memory:
"WAaf IS there d.,
honest and corrupting IN THE UNIOl
OF KNOW NOrHINGS AND DEMO
Gratis in this contest!
must be manifest to the simplest mine
i that for these parties to permit difference
upon PAST ISSUES to serer them noe. en-.
thus defeat their common ,cishes, r0xld
to commit an obstinate and suicidal act.''

sentiment had been expressed in favor Of tn
