This intelligence reaches us through alelia blesouree—throngh one who has become more and more disgusted with the hollow and hypo critical pretentifms of those who have forced themselves into the lead of dark-lanternism.

But day will come, that's sure. r s 2 - Every_conceivahle device is resorted to ,by the unprincipled leaders of Know Nothing ism, to injure the Democratic candidates. As one instance : Ln any neighborhood where they suppose the strict integrity, high . sense of honor, and true Democracy of our candithites is not well known, they insinuate quietry . ,"that they have been told it is rumored, that there is a Know Nothing or two on the De moan tio ticket.!' They do not believe a word of the story themselves but that is of no consequence to then!, so they can impose upon the credulous' 'and destroy confidence in the gentlemen whom they-thus sneakingly and assassin-like assail.

Here it is again: Toe undrOSigned, this day nominated for the office of —, by the Democratic Con vention of Adam; county, hereby pledges his sacrod!word of honor, thathe has no connec tion whatever with , the secret political organ ization commonly called Know Nothings, and that he will not nt any time connect hinic!elf therewith—that he has' no .sympathy with Such organization, its principles or intentions `—and that the only political party to which he belongs is the Democratic party, with which alone he desires-or intends to'act. The Prospect. From all parts of the county we have the cheering intelligence, that the Demecratie `ticket is received with die` highest degree of satisfaction.

The tidings of their victory: flying now on the lightning wires, will give joy to every true patriot in the Union. As' the Bus ton Post well observes, this result is no tirdina ry one ; and one destined to have no common effect. It is a vietory4f the right sort, and at the right time, and in the right place.

We are gratified to witness the enthusiastic spirit that preloninuttes in the Democratic party thronghout the State. Everywhere—says the Carlisle Democrat—the press assures us that .the party are ocgattizing for the coming elec tion, with an earnestness that promises the most glorious results on the second Tuesday .of October. And why ? —the present cam paign is one of the uttuostimportauce—issues are involved which urge every Democrat, eve ry hover of his country, and every friend of civil and religios7l liberty. no matter of what party faith he may have heretofore been, to ,strain every nerve and exert all his influence to the perpetuity of those blessings transmitted by our predecessors.

The candidate for Commissioner was a Whig —sometimes dissatisfied because his party did not esteem him sufficiently high to give him ofilee,—but that he- is now one of the most consistent Know Nothings need not be doubted. How Mr. Wierman could leave the Demo cratic party. is to us mysterious. What foul spirit has Urged him to the deed, is beyond our ken. Visions of ijite must, have bewitched the: man. and impaired his judgment. We regret to see him in such bad political company, be cause we think he has allowed himself to be cheated. Is he willing to be kept in blindness by a nomination for the Directorship? We know little or nothing about the candi date for Auditor, Mr. Young, but suppose he has done his full share at roaming about the country atFlie ;night decoy into K. N. dens. Coming down to the nominee for TreaSnrer, we are impelled to ask, as we did a year ago, for the nittne of "the lending and iqincotia/ Democrat" who was opening till the K. N. Councils in the county.
