struggle next fall. The Tyrone Star and
several other Know Nothing Papers, have al
ready stated in language not to be misun-
derstood, that they are not willing that they
and.their party shall be made to play "sec-
ond fiddle" to the Black Republicans during
the Presidential contest. They are unwilling
to sustain the fanatical principles of Black
Repubiicanism, while..their principles are ig
nored. The Republican leaders will proba-
bly, find ere the campaign is over, that San,

The indications are, that he will soon be alive

on the sympathizers of the Murderer John
Brown, and repudiates the ''irrepressible con-
fict doctrine of Senator Seward" 1t also
contends that the Republican party is not in
favor of extending adequate protection to
American industry. which is strictly true, and
susceptible of the clearest proof.

In New York the party has refused to unite
with the Black Republicans, and we think it
will act in an equally independent and spirit
ed manner in this State. We never had, we
confess, much confidence in the patriotism of
Sam and his followers. Their bigoted prin-

ments of pure and enlightened patriotism to
find place within their breasts. But por-

The Black Republican Orators and Editors
