In our Paper to-day we copy from the
Richmond 13 1 74, with the comments of the
Del:noon:del Union, shoa - ing that the'Whig
cad ors aims through the ; instrumentality of
the Know-Nothings to se4uce• enough Dem
°chits into their party - to give them the pow
er, and then to revive their old policy and
principles. i Til l ey thus hope by deception
to foist upon the people principles which they
have ever condemned. .
- As corroborative of this 'we notice that the

out in favoriof another United Statei Bank,
and the Buffalo Expreii,t_another Whig,

- Certain it 4as the Organ claims, that the
