MONTROSE, PA.
Thursday, May 17, 11111935:'
' t+" The intelligent observer of the signs
of the times will not fail to see jhat since the
demoralization of - the old political parties,
great changes are constantly anitYrapiciky tak
ing place, and it is now very difficult to de
fine the position of any party. Especially any
party that claims to be National and
,stitoki
to - unite Northern and Southern men, at _this
time of intense excitement on the slavery
tinestion, must expect teilutve, its every move
ment watched with a - jealous eye- by the
friends of freedorn. Judging from the acts of
the party dined Know Nothings in almost
uniformly supporting Free -Soil candidates,
we have believed that they were for the most
part Free-Soil men, and they , were denotino
fed long and loudly, as such; by the organ of
the National administration at Washington,
and by the presses and orators of the. Sandi.
But now; behold a change! The Southern
ors, seeing the:strength of the new 1 party at
die North, arc said to have lately rushed in
*3 it in great numbers, with
.. the hope' of_con
-trolling its organization, and niakieg it, as the
Democratic party now is, an instrianient for
carrying out the :proo--slavery Schemes of the
South. They have determined to make it a
Southern institution, if possible. To accom
modate it to a Southern latitude, they have
oven gone so far as to knock the chief plank
out of its platform, and have removed the
disability of- Roman Catholic's to become .
Members and to receive their support for of
fice. It is more than probable that they have
gone further and inserted a pro-slavery plank.
It is even asserted (in the New York Tribune)
that the' band of ruffians that invaded Kansas,
under the leidership of the distin'guished De.'m •
ocratießenator,-Atchison, were , know Noth
ings! From Illinois, we learn that die still
more famous Democratic 'Senator, Douglas,
attended at the meeting of the State Council,
.as an outside wire-puller, endeavtiring to
_
duce pro-slavery action' by that body. A
strong effort is undonbtedly making to , place
the Krow Nothings as a party-in a proadav
.eryatt nude--perhaps eventually to effect a bar
-mm-1y faction between them and the National
posz toe t)A merican
Dettioracy. The "t* f- le tl
, f*rgatil, a paper published at Washington, and •
t
which 'claims to be the National orgtin' of the '
- Know Nothiuga, strengthens this suspicion.,
`The t?ne of that paper is intainons--werse et
late, since it has drown off the mask, than
that e l f the Washington Union. While the
whole country is filled with inexpressible in
;dignatien at the late unparalleled _ outrage on
the ribts of the people of Katiti. while the
- whole, press of the North, amla large portion
-of that, of the South,- emphatically condemn
-the ac't, the American Organ daresionphold
it, and to call upon the President to remove
, Govemor Reeder, in eompliance, with the de
'mend of the gang of desper,adois who lave
invaded the Territory and trampled on its
-
It is evident, then, what the Knoav Noth
'
lug party is; and is to be, at the South- 7 -pot
.merely passively but actively pro-slaveri,
~going even beyond
,the Denaivraby, if possi
ble, in subserviency to the Slhve
• Doe , anybody expect that , any considerable
"-body.of,Northern men will ever consent to
.act ith the pro-slavery know Nothings 1-
- We are confident they will not. We , are
assured..that the grit body of the order
at the North are for Free Soil. They would
sootier -again 'repudiate the ties of party thin
(ke their principles. , It is perfiectly idle
ito link they . will submit to -•
make those"con
«cessions to Slavery that the Southerners will
denituid. The attempt to norninate a'Knew
'Noihing Presidential eandidate by the Na
tional Convention to be held at Philadelphia
in June, will pve -abortive, A Southern,
.or at, least a pr o v ery candidate will be
gruel for the next President, who will receive
the isupport ofSouthern Deninerats,. Southern
Whigs, and Southe.rn Know Nothings, and of
Northern Poughfanes, lig the hope of •a
-share-Of the spinis may -Induce to go with

in itheir strength aroimd some - tried and true
anti-Slavery man; and. elect - him, or -Lavery

Ss lost. By the taunts and insults heaped up
on us by the minions of Slavery; by the
wrongs our country has endured in the
: per=
sons of her unofferading citizens in Kansas, by
the dangers that threaten -our liberties, and
bY the memory of our fathers, let every
NOrthern Freeinan at this all-important cri
sis be true to his conVietionsi of right and to
the holy cause of liberty.
