Harrisburg on the 4th inst.,*and said Convert:-
Lion having passed the following resolution :
fteso/erd, That the candidates for nomina

otherwise anti-Republican and anti-Atnerican.
As a citizen of the United States, as a Penn

Tt has been asserted, repeatedly, that the
Know -Nothing organization bound its mem
bers by an oath to support the candidates
ar,reed'upon in secret ciuncil, no matter how
olijectionable these candidates might be. This
assertion has been strenuously denied by the
organs of that party. We have now po s itive
proof of the correctness of this charge, and we
ask the people of the county to ponder well
upon it. Mr. BnowNhow, in hig paper, the
Knoxville Whig, explaining why lie must sup
port a certain candidate, says :
"lArlien we were initiated into the order, we
took tlie fhllowing obligation or oath adminis
tered upon the holy Bible, mid not having w i th
drawn the_oriler, and not intending to do
so, we feel bound% by every consideration of
honor and duty, to support Rodgers :
"You do solemnly 'swear belbre Almighty

gularly dismissed from it.you will, in all thitky,s,
political or .social, so lar as this Order is con
cerned, comply with the will of the majority,
when expressed Ina lawful manner, though it
may conflict with your personal preferences."
"All who are members of the Order, and
contiime to be, have the same obligation rest
ing upon them, and if they have any regard for
thew honor and a solemn duly, they will vote
fur Rodgers, though he may not be their per
sonal preference."

unusually excited state of political feeling in
this city is likely, unless the contending par
ties shall agree upon some plan-to secure order
and quiet on the dayof the approaching elec

the same, to lead to popular disturbance and

to be deprecated by all good citi'•rens, whether
native or foreign born. Know-Nothing, jintri

COMMENOMENT OF TIO: LorisviLLE RIOT.—
P;(,: extract .the following 'from the Louisville
Courier
Captain Thomas., a highly respectable and
intelliovat eitizen'of Madison, desires us to state
that before any difficulty had commenced, he
was passing down Market -street, and . saw
a head of him three decent, genteel appearing.
Irishmen, who turned off at Tenth street.
Reaching Main he observed a man rush out
and knock one of the Irishmen down, while the
others -were chased across the street into a
house, and then the firing commenced from the
windows. Thiz, Capt. Thomas says, was the
conuuencen►ent of the whole trouble, growing
out of an -unprovoked assault upon an Ir•ish
man who was quietly passing along the street.
From t 1? York (azotte
One of the discussions that did not come off.
As We stated last week, an arrangement had
been made for a discussion of the principles (!)
of Know-Nothingisin, to cotne oft on Saturday
last, at Shrewsbury.. Messrs.- Adam Ebaugh
and William 11. Leib, Who were to take the
anti-know-Nothing side in the debate, were on
the ground according to agreement—but the
selected ehainpions-of Know-Nothin,gisni, one
of whom was present, declined the encounter,uo
doubt for reasons entirely satisfactory to thein
selves. A friend who was present informs us
that Mr. Ebaugh publicly imitf d- and urged
Mr. Free. (one of the proposed defenders of the
dark-lanrern foTks,) to come up to the stand,
and not disappoint the expectations of the
crowd assembled to hear the discussion. But
"Sam" was as - silent as an oyster, and his ad
herents were evidently mortified at the inlaid
iating, position in which they found themselves.
The debate, therefore, being shut oft; the
world loses the light that no doubt would have
been shed upon a vt ry dark business if the
Know-Nothing champions had came up to the
scratch with their lanterns. But that part of
the world which was compo , 4ed of the oppo
nents of -Sant" then and there present, were
determined not to lose their "time and travel
altogether. So they organized themselves in
to a Democra tie meeting, with Robert Gemmel,
Esq.. of Hopewell, for President, aid J. A.
Bowman, of Stewartstown, and John E. Ito pp ,
of York Borough, fOr Secretaries. Mr. Ebaugh
then read the correspondence between Messrs.
bbaugh, Free and Snyder, Which had led• to
the appointment of the time and place for the
discussion of litiow-Nothingism. that those as
senibled might judge whether Mr. libaugh had
-backed out" as had been falsely alleged, or
Whether that crab-like manceuvre had been
practiced by his vaunted opponents. Mr.
Leib proceeded to exhibit, in an able.manner,
the inconsistency of persecution for religious
opinion's sake, with the duty, under the con
stitution of the United States, of every true
and honest American citizen. Mr. Ebaugh
then addressed the meeting for considerably
more than an hour, taking his friends by sur
.prise most lgreeably at the force of the blows
which the simple Truth enabled him to inflict
upon a hideous monster now worshipped by
thousands of ouy misguided fellow citizens. lie
was calm, temperate, respectful to - those whose
ideas be coin hatted, and at ninny points elo
iptent indeed—he had provided himself with
documents to sustain anti illustrate hisitiosi
dons—and know-Nothingisin never looked
more mean and pitiful that. it did while his
crushing blows came thundering down upon
her Temple of Error. The meeting was briefly
addressed. in conclusion, by Mr. John Mc.klis
ter, whose leinarks, pertinent and sound, were
favorably received. Frequent and enthusiastic
applause, as the several speakers progressed,
attested the deep interest of their audience in
_the_Surijiiiit - discus,sett_ and_their_apiireei ation_of
the manner of ies„,di:cussion. Every one felt as
-the meeting adjourned, that good had been ac
complished -that seeds had been sown on some
soils that would fructify to the diseanditute of
midnight cabals against constitutional tights.

The Revolution on the Rio Grande.
A SEVERNBrnwnsvilieHag,
.of the Ist, has reevivid the (Alicia! account of
the light which took place at Saltillo. Mexico,
on the 22d and 23d ultimo, between the-gov
ernment troops and imurgents, in which the
former were defeated, and thus speaks of it
and other matters in connection with it :
It does not give the number' of troops en
gaged on either side. but states that the fight
commenced by an attack on the plaza:mil:Of
past 8 o'clock on the morning of the 22d. which
lasted all that day, most of thenight and all
the morning of the 2:ld, which resulted in tak
ing two pieces of artillery, and putting to flight
the entire division of the regular forces, wbo
were being pursued by the insurgents. With
the hope of capturing some $60,000 which the
defeated -Generals bore with them in their re.
treat. The engagement is said to have been
obstinate and bloody. The loss on the side of
the insurgents is given at 100. in killed and.
wounded.
Gen. Vidauri has published a proelatnation
to his followers, which is also before us, dated
at Saltillo on the 24th ultimo, in which he re
minds them of their victories; and points to
the comparative ease with which they' have
taken the naturally strong towns of Saltillo
and Monterey. though guaided by the flower
of the army of their oppressor. He tells them
that the God of Battles is with them, and they
have only to persevere to secure their lost lib
erties. The greatest enthusiasm is evident
among the Liberators, and everything premises
success. Garza, Caplstrau and B:vasare still
in the vicinity of Matamoros, with a force va
rionsly,estimated at from six to twelve hun
dred men. It is not probable, how:ever. that
Matamoras will be attacked before the expira.
tion of Some weeks yet. We are informed,
from good authority, that the entire insurgent
army will unite for that purpose, and it will
necessarily consume some weeks in accomplish
ing' that end.
In 'he meantime Gen. Woll, we arc told, is
making preparation for their reception. lie
has commenced clearing away the woods and
shanties around the city, and otherwise pre
paring to receive his enemies.

Sir Charles Napier, in his speech at the
Southwark :election,' the day before the steam
er sailed, remarked, that "It had been said -
Sevastopol must be taken, although he knew
that our men would march up to anything,
and do all that was in the power of 'man to •
effect." The declaration, though . mde in the
midst of a large and popular assembly, excited
cheers, instead of murmurs, and all due al';
lowance being made for kind feelings towards
the gallant speaker, the opinion itself was
manifestly in pretty good accord with the se
rious judgment and expectation of the auditory.
