A Kit 11 Cy7=*The public have been put in possession of the important fact that the Know Nothings of Bedford County held a delegate convention in this place, in "Temperance Hall," one day week be'.ore iast, at which the following extraordinary resolutions wen adopted : Resolved, That the subject of Temperance did not enter into, and was not contemplated in, the elec tion la-t fall; and that, being more a mora! than po litical question, it ought not to enter into politics ai all, but should be left to the legally expressed will of the people—untrammelled by any other consideration whatever. Resolved, That the Legislators who passed the Liquor Law at the late session of the Pennsylvania Legislature, "took tlie responsibility,"!_aiul should themselves bear it: and that t ie American organiza tion never intended, and does not intend, to range it self" on either side of this question, as a party. Cool, decidedly. Now, "that the subject of Tem perance" was the prominent element "in the election last fall," is well known to every man, woman and child in the county—and, although the people, by a decisive vote, declared against a Prohibitory Law, a Know Nothing Legislature passed such a Bill, in its most odious form, and a Know Nothing Governor ap proved it—and now the people are officially notified that the Know Nothing organization doe-"not intend to range itself on either side" ol fins question I I ni ls a capital way ol meeting a subject which has a lotised ttie indignation of the tax-payers from the centre to the circumference of the commonwealth —and exhibits a species of DODGING well worthy the party from which it emanates. '1 he voters, however, will have something to say tonchmgthe matter, and, with their verdict, we #huil rest satisfi ed. The names of the delegates to this Convention were not appended to these resolutions, not even those of the chairman arid secretary, thus evading the usual forms, although it is alleged that their meeting was public. True, they give the HONO RABLE Fr. Jordan a broad, bint, but the "organiza tion" will find them-elves as strongly condemned as he i-.

BUNN, ot hcliellsburg. K7-THE RIGHT COURSE.—Jacob L. Gioss of Lancaster, appeared befoiea late deracrrialic (.oti vention with credentials as a delegate. Mr. Gross was elected last year to the Legislature on the K. N. Ticket. He had previously been a Democrat, and still claimed to be one after his election, promi sing many of his party friends that he would always be found supporting the caucus nominees of the De mocracy'. Mr. Gross forgot a!! this alter he arrived at Rarrisburg, and voted with, and for the Know Nothings on all questions. He had strength enough in his own township to be sent to the t onvention to select delegates to; the -tthol Jul.y State Convention. Upon the presentation, however,of his credentials, it was unanimously adopted that a Know Nothing could not take his seat in a democratic convention, arid they accordingly ousted .Mr. Jacob L. Gross, late K. N. member of the State Legislature. The greatest good that this new order has accomplished U to make the democratic party tnon- lesoiute and less disposed to consult expediency. When its members find a man on their ticket, or in their meetings, false to the party, they cast him out with a boldness that does them infinite credit. Long ago, it we had throw n off a host of false friends, instead of giving them office, the party would at this day have been ntv iticible. Hoclors Differ!

K7*riw ('liambfrshnrg ftrpasitarif titt'l Ifcon tends that Gov. PjDLI.OCk "should not be hold re sponsible for the imper lections of the new License Law," berau-e, in approving that measure, he only carneii out a pledge he had given the people to sanc tion any law enacted by their Representatives in ac cordance with the popular will I Now, we would ask, did the "popular will" declare in favor of a measure like this, or any thing approaching it ? On the oth er hand, was not the question of a Prohibitory Liquor Law submitted to the freemen of the Common wealth, and did they not, by a fair and decided majority, proclaim themselves opposed to AM PRO HIBITORY LAW, thus instructing their Represen tatives in language so plain as to admit ol no mis understanding and yet, in the very lace o! this in struction, placed upon'record in the proper Depart ment at Harrisburg, a Know Nothing Legislature parsed a Prohibitory Law which is a burlesque upon common sense and common decency, and an outrage upon every feature of the Constitution ot the land; and Gov. POLLOCK approved and signed it with the full knowledge that he was trampling beneath bis feet the legally expressed will of the people, l!, un der those circumstances, Gov. Pollock is "not to he held responsible for the imperfections ' of the anti- License Law, titan the office of Governor is the sheer est humbug in the world, and is the mere automaton of any corrupt and designing set of men who may happen tox-ontrol the Stale Legislature. Heretofore, the great conservative power of the Commonwealth rested with the People's CHIEb MAGISTRATE, an officer sworn to see that tio laws are passed inconsistent with the t'ONSilll. 1 ION arid the WILL OK THE PEOPLE—and now, lor ; the first time in the hi-tory of the "Old Keystone," j we are told "ZD/ Authority ," that the Executive l)e- j partment considers itself bound to carry out the will of THE LEGISLATURE, no matter how revolting j their act, simply becau-e its members are the lirpre- j xeuiuiv* of the People, if formef Governors had j pursued this disgraceful policy, Ruin, Misery, ami J Bondage would have been the portion ol the yeoman- j ry of Pennsylvania! The candidate for Governor j who will give a pledge 1o approve any hill the Le- ; gisiatnre may choose to pass, is more fit to he inves- • ted with a straight-jacket than Executive honors. What! a GOVERNOR not responsible for the pas- j saga of infaitious and imperfect Laws, whilst invest- ; ed with Constitutional power To prevent them from j going into existeiWe ! Whoever heretofore heard of ; -uch monstrous doctrine as this > But (iov. Pollock contends that this Liquor Law i comes " WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE CON-: STITLJTION," whilst nearly every Law Judge in the State has pronounced it a bundle of contradic tions and nonsense, meaning any thing and nothing; and no two of them have construed its provisions i alike. V.'e say, let it be REPEALED —not leaving , a line or word of it from '-Re it enacted, ' down to and including the Governor's signature, an issue we j are prepared to discuss hoth in the Gazette and on the stump, without dodging or equivocation —and, in making this declaration, we fee! warranted in avert ing that our temperance principles are as sound as j tho-e of any other man upon the face of the Giobe. j 'i'he difference between us and FANATICS on this subject is, that they want to force every man to fol- . low their peculiar notions, whilst we concede the . right to every responsible human being to think and ; act lor himself as to what he shall eat and what he shall drink. Sometimes vou find the most rabid , Temperance Lecturers tbe veriest slaves to 10BAI - CO—denouncing rum with a long toby or a handful! of rotten weed in their mouths, emitting a stench quiie as offensive, and decidedly more filthy than the fumes emanating from the swallowing of Whiskey. If people, generally, would mend their own ways in stead of setting themselves up as dictators for the iest of mankind, the morals of the world would soon improve. "Let him that is without sin throw the fust stone." After the people decided against a Prohibitory Law, the Legislature liatJ no ru nt to pass such a 1' H, nor the Governor to sign it, until the "popular will " hail again been consulted. "If we mistake not," says the Repository ami Whig, the " lied ford GazrtU was the paper that vouched for Gov. BiGLEU, on the authority ola celebrated minister, being as good a Temperance man as Gov. Pollock, and willing aUo to sign any restrictive law that the Legislature might pass—just what Gov. POLLOCK, prorr.ised, and what he has performed. Will The Gazette explain?" Now, the Gaarite not only vouched for Gov. Big ler being "as good" a Temperance man as Gov. Pol lock, bat a far hr.tln one. Did any man ever see or hear of Gov. I'igler using intoxicating liquors as a beverage—and has not hi Lie exhibited the character of a 'Vc-mprratiee man in the fullest sen>e ol the term? Can this much be said of Mr. Pollock? The ''celebrated Minister"'* allulled to, (Rev. JOHN CHAMBERS.) made no such declaration as that at tributed to him by the Whig. He defended Gov. Rigler as a sincere friend of Temperance, and .-aid he felt warranted in declaring That he would sign any CONSTITUTIONAL J.iquor Law framed in accor dance with the WILL OF THE PEOPLE as ex pressed through the ballot-box. The Rev. gentle mad (one ol the ablest advocates of Temperance in he Nation,) deprecated the idea of passing any tem leiiince Law against the voice of the people. Gov. Uigler never pledged himself "to sign any restrictive law that the Legislature might pass." He distinctly proclaimed to the world that he would give no pledge on this subject in advance of the ac tion of the Legislature—that he would consider i! a gross violation of his oath of office to do so—that be would be governed in his conduct by the character of the act presented lor his signature. He did not perpetrate the enormity of saying he would sign auv restrictive bill the Legislature would pass —and we venture to assert that his VE TO of the anti-License JUG law of last session would have been one of the clearest and ablest papers that ever emanated from his pen. In passing this law, says the Fastou Argus, the Legislature committed an outrage on the rights and interests of the citizens ol Pennsylvania, which they alone have the power to resent. If their voice was not to be respected, what ifse was there in taking a vote 7 If it had been pie-determined to disregard the will of the majority! what necessity was there for the expenditure of a large amount of money in having a vote taken on the question? But some de ny that it is a prohibitory Law. This may be true, in general terms, so far as the details ol the law are concerned, but it is nevertheless a law ol the same character, and one that may be regarded as infinitely more objectionable than a prohibitory bill. It is more obnoxious, more unequal, and more unjust in its operations than any prohibitory bill that could have been passed. Let us examine a few of its pro visions : In the first place it is uutqual. It compels Tavern Keepers in Bedford and certain other counties to pay the amount required lor a whole "year's License whilst at allows them to reap the benefits of the Li cense but for five mouths. The Tavern Keepers of BKDFOlil) COUNTY have ail been compelled to pay their usual license, with th" privilege to -e'l ou ly until tiw iii 1 of October, win! t m Franklin n.>>fh- | ty they pay th* same amount with pftiwiniW to sell for a year. i* tlin right - is it HONEST '/ In the seVoiut place, it iriJl injure tin- value of all Tavern Properties!. There are humlreils, and per haps thousands of Motels ill the State that are actually necessary to accommodate the travelling public.— The Proprietors of these houses have erected large and iu many instances expensive building* for this j express purpose. Many of t hem have been leased 011 a term of years, at high rents, and have been expen sively lifted up. The mere profits ol their table w.ll not support them at present prices. One of two things riin-t he done, father raise tlicir prices or have their rents reduced. And this will affect every man who is obliged to travel. When one ol our citi zens re-iding in the country is called to Bedlord as witness or a jury man, receiving 621 cts. or SI a day tor his pay, he w ill he obliged to pay, perhaps, SI 2.) ; or SI , r 0 for his hoard. Tavern keepers cannot en- : tertain people at the prices they are now charging.— They must raise or give up business. 11 Liquors should be sold any where, well regulated Taverns is the place. Whilst this anti-License law will bring about the results designated, it will also greatly de crease the Revenue of the State, and promote DRUNKENNESS to an alarming extent ! The HONORABLE Fr. Jordan is entitled to tKe HONOR ot carrying this Bill through the Senate a 'gninst the positive INSTRUCTION of his ents—and James Pollock is entitled to the honor ot attaching to it his approving signature as Governor j of "he Commonwealth. In Massachusetts the Know Nothings have imposed a heavy line and long impri sonment !i|Miii any man who dares to make CIDER or CURRANT WINE! Could fanaticism go further than this I KKI.EVHIIS IMtiLERANTE. One of the unal tricks resorted to by the members . of the Know-Nothing order, is to deny that proscnp- i tion for religiou- faith is a part of their principles.— They indeed confers that a few of the ultra leaders ; of the organization may act upon such a basis, but at i the same time they most solemnly asseverate that no such rule of conduct is laid down in the order it- j self. The action or the Philadelphia National Conn- j cil, however, shows that Religions intolerance is a primary doctrine of the order ; the exclusion of t fie : Louisiana delegation from the same body demon- ] strates that actual hostility to Roman Catholics is still one of the fundamental principles of Know-No thinsism. One fact should not he forgotten, that the order in Louisana has never arrayed itself in host 11 - ■ ity to any religious denomination. It is based upon the obi Native American pa 1 ty, with the secret prin ciples attached. Some ol its most prominent and ac- i tive members are Catholics; and one of their dele gates to the National Council, Mr. Gayarre, widely ! known as the author of the "History of Louisana," is among the number. The committee on credentials : objected to receiving the Louisiana delegation on ac count of their toleration of the Catholic faith, al though the delegation gave the strongest possible as surances that 'although they would not join in the I proscription of any class of men on account of their religious sentiments, they did not reroicnize. the au thority of the Pope, or of any other spiritual function- \ ary. to interfere in any v'ty, or to any extent icith the performance of the ir cm/ tlnln s. '1 hese assurances, however, were not considered satisfactory ; and the i qne -1 ion of their admission was elaborately argued! in Convention. The great body of the members ; from the Southern States sustained tlie Loui-iana del- ! egation, and urged the necessity of maintaining the ; principles of religious freedom to their fullest ex tent. Mr. Rayner, of North Carolina, the only prominent Southern member who took the opposition groitfflf, insisted that opposition to Catholicism, as inconsis tent with the Republican institutions, was the very corner-stone of the Know-Nothing movement : and that any proceeding which should ignore or be incon sistent with this position, would be fatal to the Or der. In this he was sustained by a decided rftajority of the rnernhers from the Northern States. It was suggested, hot not formally proposed, that as Mr. Gayarre was the only Catholic its the delegation, the other members might he permitted to take their seats —with the understanding that they would not at tempt to change the ritual of the Order on this sub ject. But they unanimously refused t religious opin ions. The result was, that the Louisiana delegation was exeluded." When the report of this open attack upon religious toleration reached New Orleans, it was looked upon as scarcely possible. The New Orleans Bulletin, a staunch Know-Nothing organ, on the receipt of the telegraph report . aid "that some excitement was cre ated in this city, by the circulation of a report of the exclusion of the Catholic delegation." It add-, "that the report must be a fabrication, for we cannot be lieve that a National Convention, composed of able, enlightened and patriotic men, would no completely stultify itself hopelessly, heyoud the. power of redemp tion, a* to male mere religious opinions a test of polit ical fellowship. It cannot bp, and we shall ntterlv refuse to place the least credit in the rumor till we hnvp the most unquestionable evidence of the fact."' But the report was not a fabrication. It soon passed into reality—a rpality verified by a nparlv two-third vote of the Convention. And yet, when the charge is made that religious intolerance is one of the prin cipal features of the Know-Nothing cru-ade, it is in dignantly denied. The action of the Grain) Council, however, settles the question definitely, and hereaf ter when men are told that it is not the intention of Know-Nothing organizations to legislate upon the question of religions belief, the answer will be, why then did the Grant! Council make a national issue iip on the religious belief of its members? If this is not to be followed by further and more stringent action, the incipient steps would not have been taken. The men who would deliberately exclude delegates from a convention for no other reason .than a difference in leligious faith, are prepared to legislate upon the same matter when once they have the pover to effect that end. What fruits will follow such a course are thus elo quently and truthfully pictured by the able and pious Judge Lon-istreet, President of the Mississippi Uni versity. In his word-, it is a "ino-t desperate and dangerous agitation—churches rending asunder—pas tors and flocks at variance—Christians losing all con fidence in each other—saints and sinners in close em brace—preachers of the same church getting but half congregations and half support—one looking on ap provingly, while another is abused—teachers totter ing—their pupils in midnight cliques—fiiendship sev ering—rage taking the place of love—father against son—brother against brother. These things now are, and they pro!cairn, triirnpet-tongued, what is coming, if the monster be not crushed at once. And all for what ? In honest truth, to get in the outs, anil get out the ins. This is the object of the Order. Well, it must take its course till reason resumes her seat." Philadelphia Argus. NOT IN THE BIU.S.—We are informer! that Gov.

We find in the last number of the .X'nshviile Vnion and J.lmerictm , a letter on this absorbing question, from this distinguished native Ceorgi an, now President of the University of Mississip pi pi. The name of Augustus 15. Longstreei is endeared t>> the people of Ceorgia by many ties in t?;e history of the 'past. It is a name which we were taught to revere in early youth as synonomous with all that was hold and (earless in tbe character of the advocate, with a!! that was parental and dignified in the sage instructor, ami with all that was pure ami honest and up right in the minister of the Gospel. ihe old men of Georgia have been accustomed to love him as a hiotherithe young men, scattered ! throughout the State, who, from hi> lips, have heard the lessons of wisdom, continue to rewie him as a father. There is no man in Georgia who i will dare stand up and s.iv that A. 15. Longslr.et '■ speaks from impure motives. The indignant frowns of an honest people would t aralyze the j sacrilegious effort. Judge Longs!re t has been i forced from his retirement to come out and speak | upon this question ; btit having come out, he has 1 met the issue with that boldness and honesty which characterizes the man. He speaks to the pe.ople in lite voice of warning wisdom, and t•*i Is them to beware of an organization, which must i lead to religions intolerance and persecution. The circumstances which led to tlm publica tion of this letter arose trorn an attack made up on the Judge by the .' !■':)! ji.'e ii liable, (Hid lifl- Qi/irer, charging him with pr> achuig Anti- Know-Nothing doctrines. After alluding to the editors of that paper, who have assailed him as the head ol the Missis sippi University, he proceeds to condemn the order in tlie terms to he found in the extracts below. [,et ev-ry Georgian lead them care fully and ponder over them well, whether he be Know-Nothing or Anti-Know-Noliiing ; "In July last 1 had just heard of a new organ ization in the country—secret in its movements, i and going under the name of Know-Nothings. Its principles, I understood to he, opp >sition to Catholics and foreigners, to he planned in the i dark, strengthened by oa!hs and manifested a' the ballot-box. It filled rne with alarm. "1 saw in it'the elements of rapid expansion and awful explosion. 1 exhibited them to the 1 class-that graduated that month, and forwarned them to have nothing to do with it. Had I 1 been inspired, I cquhl hardly have foreshadowed • its history more accurately than I did. Oi my ! prediction nothing remains to ho fulfilled but the outpouring of more blood. My forecast in relation to it ought to insure respect fur my judgment, in and about Oxford at Last ; hut it is that verv forecast which is raising a buzz of discontent against rue in this vicinity now.— This is the sin which brought out against me the recondite presses which I have named above. It is called l dtthUin(r in politics hut its true name is / npalatable Truth ." i his is toe sin for which I am soon, perchance, to :.-e sacrificed. They that stoned the prophets of old are yet alive, and whv should I expect a better fate than theirs 1. Well, I do not know {hat a betu r use could be made of my old carcass, than the nfter ing of* it upon the altar ot this jjt,ie : ic3. To the Editors of Hie Louisville Times : GINTLCMEN :—Many friends, irrespective of party, knowing my views to be op|>o.sed to lite organization and policy of'the Know-Nothings, have warmly urged me to become a candidate for re-election to Congress from this district. [ have stated that I would consider the proposi tion and give them an answer by the first of June. After reflection upon the subject, I do not think T ant the appropriate person to make canvas, and therefore decline the invitation. The old Whig party by which I was elected is disbanded. A new organization, wbic.lt pro poses to introduce questions of religious belief as criterion# for office, and to repeal the naturaliza tion laws under which we have lived from the beginning of our government, with the single exception of the federal interregnum under Adams, when they were extended to fourteen years, lias arrayed itself in the field of politics. In addition, we find that the new party main tains an ominous silence in relation to the rights of the Southern States, which should fill every patriotic heart with fear. I have-ever been and yet am inflexibly opposed to such principles. The regularly nominated Democratic ticket is the only opponent in the lirJd against this new party. It is clear that it cannot achieve success,unless, as in Virginia, by the aid of hon est and fearless southern Whigs, who will not be absorbed in secret fraternities, and who de sire no umbignous alliance with Northern Know Nothings. Their aid has given the first check to this new party and annihilated its prestige of victory. Bui, with these facts before us, it can not.he concealed,. (hat the main body of the op pojjenfs of the Know-Nothings is cofr.poserl <| Democrats. It is natural they should desire their candidate not only to he the representa tive of their set timents npon these topics, in op position to the know-.Not kings, hut also to coin cide with them u|)on the genera! polirv of the Democratic party and to yield acquiescence u|e on the issues of the past. Ido not mean to say that this would be required as the terms of *uj' M port, but I have heard it suggested as requisite to concentrate the full energy of opposition Indeed, it has been intimated that an acquies cence in the policy of the Democratic adminis tration might be necessary to give force ami co herence to the movement. Standing in the at titude I occupy, I could-only consent to make the race as an independent candidate, free from all pledges whatever. Fun these reasons I am convinced that, in or der to achieve success and combine the party ~ it i> better for the Democracy to select a candi date from their own ranks, and entrust to iuui the advocacy of the cause. For my own part, my belief is decided that the Kuow.Notliiin/ movement is as transient as its growth has been sudden. As between the Democracy and itself my choice is quickly made, but I Icel that I best consult mv own dignity, and relieve my se If from all suspicions of unworthy motives, ifj at the same time, that I fiankly avow mv de. termination to support the principles of the par ty, I decline its honors. All that I ask, is the privilege to sustain by my vote, tile wise great, and hoblv liheiai principles upon which I know the Republic is founded, and by the faithful observance of which 1 am profoundly conscious the social repose and political pros perity of the nation can alone be secured. Permit me to let urn my heartfelt thanks to those friends, both Whigs and Democrats, who have so generally offered logive me their waun support. I remain, with r -pert, W. PRESTON. Late*!
