Will HE DEFINE EIS POSITION ? A great number of Mr. Lemuel Todd’s con stituents viould like to know where he stands upon the Presidential question— they would like to know Who ho is in favor of— FillMorb or Fremont. The Presidential election is near | at hand, and it is both right and proper that * 1 man who aspires to a seat in Congress should 1 define his position. The Democratic candidate. Dr. Awl. is not afraid to define his—he is not afraid to announce himself the uncompromising friend of James Buchanan, and opposed to the schemers who arc plotting a dissolution of the Union. Will Mr. Todd, dare he, avow himself in the same open manner 1 Wo trow not.— Dv playing the game of “fast and loose I ' —by professing all things to all men—he hopes agotn to impose upon the credulity of the vo ters of this distript. lie is the nominee of the various factions m the district for Congress, and yet has not the manliness to avow his choice for President. What consummate cow ardice. Can the friends of Mr. Fij.lmork sup port him? Can even the friends of Col. Fue uont vote for a man who prides himself on his ability to carry water on both shoulders? If they can, it is another evidence that there is “nothing new under the sun.” That this Congressional district will give Mr. Buchanan a majority of over two thousand, is admitted by every fair and unprejudiced man. We appeal to his friends, then—to those men who believe in the political principles of the sage of Wheatland —to rally, ns one mdn, to the support of the Democratic candidate for Congress, Dr. John A. Ahl. No man in the Stale is more anxious for the election of Dr. Am. than is Mr. Buchanan himself. The decree lias gone forth llmt old Bixk is to be our next President, but what can he do for the country if & majority in Congress are Black Republicans, like Mr. Todd? What mcasurs can he carry out?—wliat. policy pur-_ sue ? ' Cook at the doings of the last Congress 1 The House of Representatives was under the 1 control of our opponents, the Black Rcpubli ! cans, and before they organized, (by the elec , lion of a Speaker.) they squandered over two ' lII'S’DIIKn AND FIFTY TTIOOSASD DOU.AKS of tlie people's money! The remainder of the session was occupied in a factious and mean opposition to (lie President; every suggest ion he mode, no difference how fair or how necessa ry, met the fierce opposition of a majority in the House. This Black Republican majority, as an excuse for thcir’opposllion to the Execu tive, professed to be very hostile to what they called “the infamous laws of the Kansas Leg islature,” but no sooner did they discover that President Pi Kites was in favor of repealing wiping out those “infamous laws,” than they opposed their repeal, and refused to pass the Senate bill, which abrogated all the obnoxious laws complained of ! Such was the course of Mr. Todd and (Jp: other Black Republican members of the House. Will the people ex cuse such conduct ?—will they palliate such bareness ? No. they will not! The men who thus betrays the trust confided to them, should I be, and trill be. hurled from their seals in dis grace. and be made to feel the contempt in 1 which they arc held by those they misrepre sented and deceived. Wc have said that the Black Republican members of the House squandered ?250.000 of the public money before they organized. This was the amount that.lho election of that nrch Abolitionist and free-trader, |spcat fer^Ba%'Sfl, cost the people, Mr. Banka, as our readers arc aware, is the same gentleman who, In n re- cent speech, declared that ho was in favor of I "letting the Untun shde / ” and it was because I of his known hostility to our Chiron (hat Mr Tont) and the majority In (he House were w ll ling to spend two or three hundred thousand dollars of the people’s money, rather than he ihould be defeated! But, not content with spending this amount of the public funds in their quarrel about the Speakership, the same majority occupied the lime of the House to the amount of over rixtt thousand nou.Aiis in nn eflorl to elect a pria ler lo their body. And. to cap the climax of their impudence and extravagance, the majori ty voted themselves four hundred thousand col.i.a us extra pay ! each mcml>er, instead of receiving 68 a day. (the amount due him under the former compensation law,) paid himself at the rale of SIXTEEN DOLLARS A DAY 1 Was ever such dishonesty |>aclised upon the people before 1 Did therebefore assemble at the National capilol a Uiralflir hotly of men ? It was a (it conclusion of their labors that these Black Republican members of Congress--these desperate political adventurers —should atUmpt to dtshand the American army, and stop the wheels of government. It was fit. we wy. that this should be the eap-slnne of their sidicions and dishonest transactions. lint, the day of nlribulion has arrived ; several of those very members of Congress who thus acted—and Mr Tonn is one of them —ore up for rc-elerlion. , and the people will embrace the opportunity in wieak their vengeance upon them.

WIUT HAS BECOME OP THE KROW-fIOTH: i ■irq rim ? Of late, we have frequently been asket the , question, “ What has the Ki i >w- Nothing party ?” and in answer we have, ijecn constrained to admit 'Hint', wo. really did not know. Two years ago, that fac-' lion was at tire height of its power,.and, no-, cording to the predictions of its members, was destined to work a revolution in the feelings and sentiments of the people of this country. Foreigners were to bo prevented from landing upon our shores; those already here, if per mitted to remain, were to be excluded from all participation in the affairs of government; and, failing that, a residence of twenty-one years was to be required in order to entitle the emi grant to exercise the elective frunchizc. The Catholic church, too, was to be shorn of its power, its influence and.Us its members, whether native or adopted citizens, were to be deprived ol the right of holding of fice. Those were the hnlycon days of Know- Nothingiam—those were the days of its might and its power —and it was boldly proclaimed that “ None but Americans should rule Amer ica!” Then that corrupt faction seemed 16 bo everywhere in the ascendant 5 its audacity was in proportion to its strength, and its proscrlp tivencss was withoutjiouiid.s. Even one short ycaVhgo, the Know-Nothings, in point of number, constituted a very respect able party in this county. Last fall they pla-! ced in the field a full and strong ticket, com- | posed exclusively of their own parly Triends, and at the lime, so confident were suc cess, that their leaders scorned an alliance with either the Whigs or the Abolitionists. These parlies wore sneeringly invited to fall into their ranks and help to elect their ticket, but were contemptuously refused nnj' of the honors or emoluments of office. The Know-Nothings entered .upon the canvass flushed with viclory: their watchword was, “ Put none but Ameri cans on guard to-night!” and wo were told that “Sain was about.” “Sum” was to revo lutionize llie two old corrupt political parties, the Whig and Democratic; he was to correct and refoim all abuses a Inch had crept into the i body politic, and on every corner we were tauntingly asked if we had “seen Sam 1" Well, the election came and went, and these exclusive guardians of the interests of the na tive born population—these men who would proscribe and disfranchize so many thousands of our native and adopted citizens—were igno mlniously defeated at the .ballot-box. Every man upon their ticket was made (o bite the dust, ami the useful, though bitter lissnn was taught them, that the people of (his county will always, sooner or later, proscribe proscrip tion. Since that election, our Know-Nothing 1 friends have been more modest in their preten sions and more courteous in their demeanor ; and. mindful of the well-merited castigation they then received, appear disposed to seek aid from other sources. They have, in a great measurc.gi.'cn up their distinctive organization; their feathers have been lowered, and their dark lanterns have been hid away in secret re cesses. " Sam’s” name is now rarely mention ’d. his glory and sceptre have both departed, there now remains but few so poor as to do him rcvcYenc*. . But “what has become of the Know*Nothing party]” is still the question. Do its members yet continue to meet in secret council, or has its organization been, abandoned, ami htfa it become merged in the “Woolly head” faction ? , We know not whether any of that corrupt and I pioscriptire onlcr remain banded together, act- I’wg as a distinct /»arty ; but we do know that 1 a vast majority of its members, including near* 1 ly leaders, have joined jibblels with the Black Republicans, and may now bo found Hhrickmg for “Fremont, Free Kansas, and I Freedom,” as lustily as any woolly head in 1 the country. Instead ol now lending the van in the 'conflict, they arc content to fall in the rear I of those whom they formerly despised, and sing hosannas to their candidates and to their mea sures and principles. Although having, osten- candidates of their own in the Held for the Presidium- and Vice Presidency, when Ihe proper lime arrives they will, without the least compunctions, betray and desert them, and support the Mariposa candidates of the Black Republicans. Instead of being tho lenders of a powerful parly, they have become “ hewers of wood anil drawers of water,” and they who were once iiuuleix have fallen so low as to be come tci ru 11/5. Thus is a just retribution me ted out to the unprincipled demagogues who have striven, with a lierce vindictiveness, to proscribe and disfranchize a large and respect able portion of the American people. In their lust for place and power, they overleaped tfte bounds n| justice and prudence, and hereafter they will be despised by all parlies and dusted 1 by none. The fnte of the Know-Nothing party and its leaders should tcacli a salutary lesson to those aspniug demagogues who seek to ride into power by deceiving and betraying the people Though they may sow the whirlwind, they have not the nhiliiy to direct (he storm ; and when the end of the delusion comes, as assured ly it will come, they fall never to rise again.— The leaders of the Black Republican faction, those who would proscribe the people of one portion of the Union, might take a lesson from the fate of the Know-Nothings, and avoid the rock upon which they split.
