Revival of Know Nothing ism.

chicago, ard the consequent CSIedS u
NvM II. SEWARD, the KnN Nothings are
again looking up. This prHc riptivs organ
ization, the most dangeroak and iIlibersl
that has ever mingled in Il political MIS-
tory of our nation, after having been ap
parently overwhelmed, and buried past
the hope Of a political resurrection, By the
firm and unswerying opposition Of the
Democratic party throughout the Union,
and the inveterste hostility Of the friends
Of Gov. SEWARD in New York, have once
again, under the leadership of Honest old
Abe, succeeded in killing off one Of their
ablest and most formidable opponents and
are beginning to show their heads above
the political waters, and are every where
organizing Vide Awlhe Clubs for the pur-
pose Of getting up the greatest amount Of
enthusiasm for their leader, and to obtain
for him next November the greatest num-
Der of votes It will be recollected that
lin 1851 So, when the Know Nothing par
ty was in the height Of their prosperity
ere the defeat Of FREMoNr-,hat the
Know Nothings assumed the name Of
Vide dpakcs, and wore peculiar style
Of hat known as a Vide Awahe, By the
wearing Of which they were well known to
each other, though otherwise strangers,
and these hats soon became known to 9TH
ers as the badge Of the Dark Lantern par
! ty.
According to our recollection, the
Know Nothings of Chicsgo were the first
to adopt the name and badge Of Vide
AuaIes, and it is peculiarly suitable that
the followers Of ABE LGNCOLN-the crea-
ture Of tie Chicago Convention-shouId
adopt the name SO popular with that wing
Of the party whose bitter hostility to Sew
ARD, united to great talents for political
intrigus, became the source Of LISCoLN's
almost accidental nomination.
When our readers see or hear anything
Of the Vide Auohse, they may know it is
bat another name for Know Nothings.

TIE CATTLE DIsEAsE.-The Massachu-
sets Commissioners have slaughtered G42
head of cattle, and allowed therefor $40,
1872. Notwithstanding this wholesale
slaughter, the disease seems to be on the
increase. and the people ar9 greatly excl
ted about it. Trof CLARE, of Amherst
College, gentleman WHO has paid co"sid-
cradle attention to tie subject, objects to
this wholesale slaughter Of tie infected an
pals, aud IS circulating petitions to lie
Legislature to that effect. lie thinks
that many OF The animals would recover,
and The extirpation Of the disease can be
Just as well accomplished by isolating the
infected herds, as by slaughtering them
The disease is assuming national i'm
Importance. It haa already appeared il
Eew Hampshire, whittier many cattle have
been driven from the infected districts il
Mass echusetts AMI also in Now jersey
whence some Of the unfortunate importe,
stock had been introduced Should tn,
disease become general in the States, Il,
magri,uIe Of thu Calamity cannot b
appreciated. The subject should receiv,
ths immediate attention Of Congress.
