Douglas Know Nothing Fusion-ssSsm''
and stcPhen Yoked side by side.
II ia a most notorious fact thai
Know Notlipgism had about be.
como extinct, not being able to carry
oven respectable county election
until the Douglas party set it upor
it's tottering legs, by giving /. til,
Influence OF that fragment OF th,
Democratic party--by voting for III
candidates, and by furnishing i
matcrlaI AID in every respect. Thii
party that goes in for "American'
ruling America" that advocates tn,
extension OF the period Of naturaliza
ton to twenty.one years, has sue
cecded In electing its candidate
Combs, IL Kentucky, state hereto
iorp strongly Democratic, mainly
through the support givon by the
Douglastes. This same Combs
comes out in n letter, and makes his
acknowledgements as follows:
"LExiSoroN, August 8. 1860.

THE PATRIOTIC Ma ATIONAL UNION

WITH Us MOST MANFULLY AND WE
MUST HEREAFTER CONSIDER THEM
rs BRETHREN
Adopted citizens will recollect the
bloody Know Nothing riots at Lou
isville, during which German cili.
zrns were driven from the polls. and
shot down, in cold blood, in the
streets of that city. Well, the Doug
las men joined forces with thcsc
very Know Nothings, at the late
election in Kentucky, and helped
these proacrip,ionists to elect to Office
the very man who was a flo leader o.
the party at that time. In Louis
vile, the stronghold OF Douglasisu
in Kentucky, and the scene Of thes,
bloody riots, the Douglasites wen
over to the Know Nothing party il
body, and supported its nominee
there being only 3Sl votes cast 70

over 5 900. Over the Know Nothin,

AS matter of curiosity, we cop
the following from the Uanc0c
Courier, OF some few years since, bt
fore a partnership was formed be
tween the Democracy and Kno,
: Nothngs, and when they did ne
"coDsider them as brethren:"

Shall wlther before the contempt of publ
opinion aud hide itself in shame, then thes
bloody riots will cease, and community wi
no longer be outraged by such hdrous spec
taclts as have been witnessed in LouisvlIl,
Cincinnati, Columbus, aud other clti,
: where Know NothlngiSm has become bol
and defiant enough TO show its blood
hands."-t Hancock Courier
! Here we find q dreadful picture {
tho "dark lantern" PATTY, who's
; entire overthrow seemed once tn
leading aim OF tho Democracy. =
Now, however, these very "blood
, Know Nothings" in Louisville, an
, elsewhere, are taken into the keepin
. OF the Douglas men, and are halle
[ as brethren. With these very Gu

, and Baltimore; yes, with these regu

; mission it has been, for years,
murder and Danish adopted citizen,
with these fellows, have the Doug
las MEN formed an alliance, an
have thus aided in rev:ving this pro
@crlptivc order, and in giving it lif
when it was jnst ready to die out. -
Know Nothingism is again begin
ming to ho'd up its head, and boa,

the final triumph OF its peculia
principles. Who is responsible TO
