"Whig Ticket.—The Henry Clay Whigs of this county assembled in County Convention, in the Court-house, in this borough, on Monday last, and placed iu nomination the following County ticket: .yisseniMi/ Hon. Fred’s;. Watts, Hknrt Rdpp. .Cqpmiaiiojjer—Col. Wm. M. Urndehson, N. Middleton. Treasurer—Wh. S. Codean, Esq., West Pcnnsboro 1 . J). of Poor — David Lesukr. Hopewell. Auditor — Geo. Lkb, Dickinson. Coroner—JonK Dunfee, Ncwrinc. Beyond question this is the strongest and beat ticket ever presented to thepcoploof Cum berland county by the Whigs, and will certain ly command the respect of honest men of all parties. Against such men as compose this ticket wo beg leave to say—nothing. Lire Them.—When the Whigs of the two wards of this borough met on Saturday cvc- to elect Delegates to their County Convention, they were intruded upon by a par ty of Know-Nothings, who, no doubt, had been deputed by the lodge to overawe and vote down the Whigs. But the Whigs had spirit enough to resist this impudentintcrfcrcnce, and refused the votes of the K. N’s., and thus disappoint ed them in their project. This conduct on the part of the Know-Nothings was certainly un manly and dishonorable, and is not such busi ness as a irve American would engage in. York RumiLiCAN. — Tho etlitor ol a paper 'U'TiO' can, without remorse of conscience, sit down and misrepresent the writings of & politi co! opponent, is certainly a bad-hearted man, if not a confirmed villain. Tho York Repub lican, of last week, takes up an editorial that appeared in the Volunteer several weeks since, and, by taking out a few words in one part of the article and a few in another part, and adding several words of its own. gives it an in sertion, and then calls attention to tho “libels,” as the editor calls them, that we publish “ against American freemen.” We deny ever Imving written the extract attributed to us by the Republican —we deny that such an extract ever appeared in our columns, and before a Court of justice we might sustain a suit for libel and forgery against tho Republican. The editor wrote part of that article himself, and, like a base scoundrel, as he is, attempts to hold us responsible for his own “ libels.” None other than a man steeped to the cyo-lida in degradation, could be guilty of such despicable conduct- Such a wretch is scarcely worthy tho contempt of an honorable man. We never in our life stigmatized the Knqw- Nothlng party " n God-forsaken and God-defy ing set of wretches.” In speaking of those wild acted as the leaders of tho Louisville mur derers, wc used this language, and we reiterate it; but we never, as the Republican well knows, applied these words to the K. N. party; and when the editor of that pestiferous sheet asserts t,ho contrary, we feel warranted in pro nouncing him a falsifier and a scoundrel. We have, on many occasions, admitted that many good and patriotic men belonged to the Know- Nothing organization, and we say so now. These gentlemen, wo have tho charity to be lieve, have been deceived by Iho representations of interested demagogues—those who gamble in politics—and they (the honest and good men of the Order) arc fast leaving it. In tho or ganization w? number many of the warmest personal friends we have on earth, and it is not likely wo would stigmatize them “Qod-for saken wrcUhts.” No, Sir. Republican— when ytfu.attrilmtcd this language to us. you wil- Billy and. deliberately falsified. Lying, how ever, is tho business of K. N. editors, and tho Repuhliban is running a race with the Harris liuijg Telegraph in this line of Us business. Newspaper Consolidation. —The first No. of tho Harrisburg Patriot and Union com bined; has been .rocdvcd. Under the efficient editorial nianogcmonfc of Andrew Hopkins. Etyjl, wo'have no doubt the consolidation of tho two papers will meet with tho happiest re* suits. Its columns display much vigor and and will, ho doubt, ably uphold the in terests of tho party in that quarter. * fK7*,Tho Know-Nothings of South Carolina have also abolished .the Catholic, test. „ r , KNOW-NOTHING NOMINATIONS. The die is cost! After a great deal of “ noise and confusion,” the ,Know-Nothings of Cum berland county, have knocked tho barsYrom tlitir lodge doors, and announced their, nomina tions for county officers. The following is their ticket: • i ' AssefhbUj, Valentine Feeman, Jacob, Bomderobr.' Sheriff. — William Rilke, of Carlisle. Treasurer.— Joan Q. Williams, of. Car lisle. Commissioner. — C. Eabrly, East,, Pimnsbo. rough. D. of Poor.— Jacob Hemmingeu, Dickin son. Coroner.— Jas. Postlktdwaitb, Carlisle. Auditor. — Fred’e. Mbntzer, Frankford. Such is tho ticket of tho proscriptiouists.' Robert Moore, who had been nominated for: Assembly, at the first meeting of tho Lodges,, declined the honor, for reasons best known to himself.. James Orb, the nominee for Com missioner, also declined; and Robert M’Oart key. who at tho first meeting of the Lodges had the highest number of votes for the office of Sheriff, was chiselled in some way at last, and Mr. Rbilt received tho nomination. The ticket, os a whole, is a weak one, and will most certainly bo defeated if those who are opposed to the political proscriptiouists do their duty. There is one fact to which wo would direct the attention of the people. The entire vote polled by the K. N. lodges of this county, at their first meeting to nominate a County ticket, was 800; at the second meeting of tho lodges the vote was only about 00CT. The whole num ber of sworn men in this county, therefore, cannot exceed some 800 or 1000—about one sixth of tho voters of the county. These 800 or 1000 men proceed to their dark lodges at night, lock and bar their doors, and permit no one to enter but their own sworn members, and then and there nominate a ticket, and modestly turn round and ask those who had no voice In selecting it, to vote for and support it. What presumption is this, for 800 men to deny 5,000 voters tbc right to assist toselcqi a ticket, and yet expect them to countenance their impudent assurance by supporting it. In Cumberland county, then, according to Know-Notning' ethics, there arc only 800 or 1000 men who are “ American freemen" —all tho rest, some 6000, ore "minions of the Pope.” And yet these 1000 K. N.’s expect "aid and comfort” for their pie-bald ticket from the 6000 voters in whoso faces they slammed the doors of their lodges ! Ouc-sixth of the voters of the county form a ticket at tbc hour of midnight, and ask tho remaining five sixths of the voters to elect it for them! We think the followers of Sam have counted with out their host, in making so liberal an offer to tho 6,000 *• minions of the Pope," as they term those who don’t belong to their treasonable and despicable organization; and we predict they' will " meet with troubles and trials on the way,” before they elect their mongrel ticket. AS \n PREDICTED. Wo predicted, some three weeks since, that the Know-Nothings of this county would dis grace Donaldson and! Ckiswbll, by refusing them a re-nomination for Assembly. Our pre diction has been verified, and these gentlemen have been sacrificed, and for no other reason that we could hear, except the sin they com mitted in voting for Gen. Cameron for U. S. Senator, This was the pretext for making “ yearlings’* of them. But, notwithstanding Donaldson and Crisswell have suffered martyrdom because they voted for Cameron, the present nominees of the Know-Nothings, it is well known, are also Cameron men, and just os certain as they are elected will they support him for U. S. Senator! The fact is, the crafty portion of the 800 Know-Nothings of this county are favorable to Cameron's election to the Senate; the General is a man of great wealth, and is by no means penurious when he wants to drive a bargain, lie is just the man to arrest the attention of largo num bers of Know-Nothings; they are attracted by bis gold, as buzzards are attracted to a putrified carcass, and they flock about his standard to receive the wages their infamy earned. “■Well,” asks an old whig, “if the crafty men of the Know-Nothing organization in this county arc favorable to Cameron, why did they discard and disgrace Donaldson and Criswell, who voted for him for U. 8. Sen ator?” For no other reason than to deceive and hood-wink the old-line Whigs, who arc opposed to Oamf.ron. It is well-known that the Whigs of this county arc hostile to Came ron, and will oppose any man who is favorable to him. Last winter, when the news arrived hero that Donaldson and Criswell had sup ported Gen. Cameron for U. S. Senator, they were denounced in tho bitterest terms wo ever heard men denounced, by the Whigs who had supported them. Tho Herald and Slnppcna burg News opened their batteries upon them and branded them “ bribed traitors.” The Know-Nothings well knew that Donaldson and Criswell could not receive tho support of Whigs again, and they, therefore, in their secret midnight lodges, concocted a plan to deceive the Whigs, and at the same time carry out Gen. Cameron’s schemes. They gave it out that Donaldson and Criswell had com mitted the unpardonable sin in supporting Gen. Cameron for the U. S. Senate, and that for this sin they must bo “laid upon the shelf.” This summary process of killing off Donaldson and CuiswellUio K. N.’sthought, would be highly gratifying to the Whigs op posed to Oambuon. And no doubt it was, for we heard one of them say “ now the traitors hove received what they deserved—they have been made “ yearlings” of, and are disgraced. ” But let tho Whigs beware, or they will yet be deceived and disgraced themselves ; for. if they can bo caught in tho K. N. trap that lias been bailed for them, they will bo assisting to elect Cameron to tho Senate. Messrs. Rebuan and Bomdaegeb ore as decided friends of Cam eron as Donaldson and Criswell are, and, in the event of their election, will do all in their power to send tho General to Washing ton. Mark it!

His wife Is supposed to have committed tho deed, as she was in (ho habit of getting drunk and beating him. Ho was a quiet mao, and sel dom struck back. Democrats,' Come Back I Tho following remarks by our neighbor’' of the Democrat,, arc seasonable, and must find a. response in the breast! of fevery sincere Demo crat: . ; i ■ ’ i , i Democrats who have forsaken the Democrat ic party j and. connected thfirafcclves 'with 'the Know-Nothings or any other political- organi zation, are invited to return—to come bade .to the fold and renew their fealty to the cause of Democracy;. It is neither just nor politic lo denounce such persons, nor is there a disposit ion to do so except by a few indiscreet individ uals. Democracy inculcates the spirit 1 of char ity, of toleration and of forgiveness. No doubt the great majority of those who have gone as tray from our ranks, werc.in so doing, actuated by honest motives—som6 from furiosity. • Blit they were mistaken. Error, wo grant, will sometimes crccp into the best of parties. Bad men do, occasionally, pbtain a temporary as cendency and bring disgrace iipon the party.— But, tho Corrective of all'this is the people, tho sovereign people, whose power and virtue arc adequate to redress all political wrongs. The Democratic, party is, and always has been, freer of nbuse : and than*Any other party in the country; whilst Us principles arc better adapted than those of any other to the prosper ity of the people and tho perpetuity of, our re publican institutions, It is the party for the adopted as well as the,native born citlv.cn—tho party for the high and' tho low, the rich hhd the poor, for all who cherish the rights of man individually, and the welfare of mankind mnl vcrsally. Come back, then, and again enroll yourselves under tho glorious old banner. ICT’Tho American of Inst week, after fling ing a great deal 1 of rubbish at us, intimates Its willingness to bring the controversy that has existed between us to a close. Very well —we‘ did not commence it, nor can its continuance afford us any gratification. If the American is serious, therefore, and'makes no additional attack upon us, the controvcrcy is ended. Before dismissing this subject, we consider it our duty to address a few words to the editor of the American. Because we charged that yqu arc not the real author of your ostensible pro ductions, you vainly hoped to lessen your pre sumption in the eyes of the community, by charging us with not being the author of ours, and under this flimsy and silly pretence, you 1 and those associated with you to gratify your malevolence, by assailing; with impunity, the characters of those whose only, offence has been a silent contempt for your con duct. Now, in justice to the innocent, rather than in defence to ourself—for wo need’none— we here, once for all, declare ourself the author of every article that has appeared in our paper during this controversy. To dcprivc.you even of the shadow of an excuse for attacking other men, we now express our willingness, tliat you shall interrogate the workmen in our office as to the authorship of our defence against yonr unprovoked attacks ; and for this purpose, we hereby dissolve the obligation to secrecy im posed by tho rules of a printing office upon those in tho employ of the editor. Nay, more, wo arc willing ourself to go before any Magis trate in the Borough that you may designate, and swc&r, and to have those In our employ also taken before him and sworn, as to the author- ' ship of every article, paragraph and line, that ; , has appeared against you and those connected ‘ iu business withyou. /We wrote those articles , upon the spur of tho moment, without receiving i even a suggestion from any one under the . can opy of heaven. . This ckcbjpalion of .all others might be thought sufficient to deter you from yoiir at tacks upon them, were it not notorious that you do not even trouble yourself about an ex cuse when any of you wish to assail a man whom you think may not fiafve an opportunity of answering you. Th»s is illustrated by ydur unexpected assault upon an innocent person through tho columns of tho American last week. As you appear insensible to justice, Wc must appeal to a stronger motive in your breast. This is your second attack upon that roan. If you value your own pence of mind— and we hope you do—hit if be your last. We arc not your friend—politically speaking, at least—but this is friendly advice. If you dis regard it, wc will be constrained, by a sense of justice, to give nn insertion to his reply, which lies on our table, and which, perhaps, your last brutal attack upon him would even nbw jus tify. But we have refused to do so at present, and wo hope wc shall have no cause to change our mind and agree to give it # a place in our columns. Wc have had hard things said of us, and we have said hard things of others, in re ply—amongst them, of yourself—but wc recoil from the publication of this without first giving you warning. J/cst you may not appreciate our forbearance, bo assured it speaks of you in a way, compared with which our stylo of speak ing was but mercy and compassion. It dis closes, among other things, a fact, which, if you place any value upon what most men hold dearer than life itself, would make your blood run chill. Wo arc astonished at your te merity. Consult your friends, and they may tell you that you hold your happiness but by the sufferance of those you have wronged—a slight tenure. Again wo say, beware! Another rcasop for our refusing, at this lime, to publish the reply of our friend, is, that ho directs Ins arrows at tho wrong man. We know you are not the author—only tho publisher.' It is os certainly tho production of one who has felt olir whip,’ on several occasions, ns if his own name were at the bottom, lie wrote tho first attack upon us, and lie wrote this attack upon the gentleman wo have been speaking of, and it is folly for lift American to attempt to, screen him, by asserting.that lie js.not tho au thor. Ho ri jlic author, and wo know it. But, enough. "As wesald in tho commence ment, wo have os little dcairo as the American for a continuance of this controversy. Other and more important matters . should occupy our. liriio just now—yet, notwithstanding wo are for peace, will, on all occaeiqhs’nhd all tipcs, JborcQdy to defend ourself when 'as sailed. ;• i< Countv.— -The Democratic Con vention of Dauphin county mot at Harrisburg on Monday last, and placed tho following tick ct in nomination:' Assembly, John’lloldoman arid Henry Diumnti: Prblhonotaryi George Slate; Register, William D- Boas; .County Treasurer, Samuel Singer; County Commis sioner, 1 ’ Peter Hooker; Director of 1 llio.

MU; JACOB GOWM. i Trindi.b Spring, Sept. 3, ’55. Mr. Editor-rein the American of last week, is an article attacking, in a most vulgar man* character of Moj. Bowman, tho Demo cratic nominee for Sheriff. In the first plfltjc tho writer showS his weakness, by asserting whatis a palpable-falsehood ; for Mr. B6wman did not appear before the convention jmtil after the whole ticket was made, and then it was at his own request, in order that he, might stale Eubllcly what'he had never denied, viz—that c had f .at bpq time, been seduced intda Know- Nothing lodge. it is for this simple state ment of tho truth,, that the editor of tho Ameri can undertakes to defame Mr. B’s. character, and hold him tho public qs; a man who is unworthy .pf confidence. Says tho A mcrican, ho has ‘♦violated the obligations which the order impoSedf on him!" It is not, hnd will not, however,'bo said that Mr.’B. stated anything before tjie convention that was false. This being so; pfay'.what obligation did ho vio late ? Will it be said the obligations of Knpw- I Nolbinglstii bind men to act contrary to their convictions of what is’right in politics?. If this be so, then it was Mr. Bowman’s as well, ns every other honest man’s dutyto disregard such obligations. Such bos been Mr. B’s. course, and it gives , evidence of commendable moral courage and political honesty in him thus to act. But the American docs not perceive that In thus arraigning Moj, Bowman ho admits as true one of the worst charges that is brought ogdinkl this odious organization, viz—that it seeks, by means of oaths , to take away from men the fight of exercising' their otrn judg ment. If, however, it bo denied that the order imposes such'obligations, then Mr. B. violated none, and the chargd brought against him .by tho American is anicnS'/lander intended to in jure him. As to Mr. Bowman bclng.a “rene gade,” it« utterly false, for’aftlrough ho was entangled in tho meshes of KnoW-Nolhinglsm, never for an hour did ho leave the - Democratic party, but acted consistently within? political convictions, notwithstanding the attempt? of a tyrannical organization to force him into ai dif ferent course. But! can assure the edit-ob Of tho American that all his efforts to defame the character of Maj. Bowman, : will prove harm less to him with the people of the county ; his character is too well established for upright-’ ness to be injuriously affected by tho dcnuncin-1 tion of a mercinary slanderer.

FIFTY OR SIXTY PERSONS WOUNDED. A frightful and rtwlully fatal accident occur red on the Camrfen and Amboy railroad,.on Wednesday morning, near Burlington,’by which twenty-five persons were killed, and nearly six ty seriously injured. The Ledger of Thursday, gave the following'particulars'; The train-of-oars which left Philadelphia at 10 o’clock,consisting of five passengcrcars,bag gage oar and locomotive, had reached Burling ton just before 11 o’clock. -It then stopped, walllrjg for the arrival of tho 8 o’clock New York train, from Jersey City, which passes at this place. After waiting for from five.to ten minutes, and tho New York train not appear ing, thd Philadelphia train went forward slow ly, watching lor tho approach of the downward train. It had gone forward about two miles, when the Now York train came in sight. The whistle for tho breaks and to reverse the en gine, was blown, and the Philadelphia train commenced backing, and soon got under rapid headway for Burlington again. In this reverse movement, 1 tho pdsscngcr cars,'usually placed behind and Conimg after the locomotive,.were now in front, and pushed forward by tho loco motive. ‘ The enginnecr being with the locomo tive, of course hud not the advantage of seeing what was ahead of the backward going train, lie had run-but a mile from Burlington, when the first passenger car came in collision with n light Wagon, driven by Dr. Hanckin, of Col utnbus.N. J., who attempted to cross the track in front of the cars. l ' J The wrigon 1 contained besides Dr. Tlanclcm, » his wife, his wife's. fatherond two children.— 1 Th’o leathern curtainsof the wagon wore down, to keep out the dust and it is stated that ho is hard.of hearing, rind by this infirmity caused an accident nearly similar, but not W fatal, near Beverly,, about a year ago.. The ;doctor had seen the cars pass as ho was driving down the road, and supposing all safe neglected to keep a proper look-out. : The first passenger car struck the two horses in the wagon, just os they were crossing the track, killed them in stantly, and threw one thirty feet on one side of the track, and the other forty yards on the other side; ’ The wagon was turned round and upset, nope of its inmates being.injured, except in slight bruises. The front car (A) after strik ing the horses, ran forward, and oft’ the track, about one hundred yards, and over a small cm emoankment. The second car (B) was thrown directly across the track. The third car (C) went through car B and slopped diagonally across the road, the fourth followed and ran into car 0. The fifth passenger car and the baggage car slopped without leaving the track. The two latter were not injured, but three of the other passenger cars were knocked to pieces, hnd many of their occupants were killed, wounded, and maimed.' It la Impossible to describe the horrible scene that ensued. The-cars were piled upon each other, and numbers of human beings were ly ing among the ruins—some dead, some dying, some shrieking from pain. Those saved in the train, anti the passengers on the dowh train, aided by citizens of Burlington, who were quickly informed of the terrible accident, went to work to rescue the wounded and dying from the ruins. As soon ns taken out they were conveyed to Burlington, where many private houses, as well as Agnc\v|s and Kelly’s. tav erns, were thrown open tQ lhe admission of. tpe woundiulwhile tho Lyceum was appropriated for the reception of ifio dead. . Some had been crushed to death instantly, leaving scorcelyn trace to recognize them by; some had been torn limb from-limb by tho splinters, benches and lloors, and their remains scattered m every direction. Tho scene was a hedrUsiokening one; but amid all its terrors there were noble instances of resignation* a self-sacrificing spirit from the eullcrcrs, which' honored, human na- turc -.', ■ ,•..

Arc Know-,Nothings Free ! It has been'asserted, repeatedly, that the; Know-Nothing organization bound its members! by ah oath to support thi ’candidates'.agreed Upon in secret,council, no matter , bovy ,objoc-f tionablc tlicsc candidates might bo. This as- 1 sertion has, been strenuously denied by the or-; gaps of that party. '. Wo have now positive proof of tho correctness of this charge/and! we ask the people of the county to ponder well 1 upon it. Mr. Brownlow, in his paper, the Knoxville irAtg, explaining why liomwit sup port a certain candidate, says; “ When we were initiated into the order, woi took the following obligation or path, adininis-i tered upon tho Holy Bible, - and ho't havingi withdrawn from the order, and not intending 1 to’do so, wo feel bound, by every consideration of honor and duty, to support Rodgers: “You do solemnly swear, before Almighty God and these witnesses, that so long ns you are connected with this Organization,.if,not regularly dismissed from it, you will, in all thiii'gs, political or social, so far ns this Order is concerned, comply with the will of the ma jority, when expressed in 4 lawful.manner, though it,may conflict with your personal pre ferences." /‘All who nro members of the Order, and continue to be, have the same obligation rest ing uponthoin ; ,and, if they have; any regard for their honor! and a solemn duty, they will vote for’Rodgers, though he may not be their personal preference. ” Gkn‘. Cass ox the Kno w-Noxni n*q,Party. —Gen. Cass repels an assertion in the letter of Gen. Houston, of Texas, that he (Gen. C.j ap proved of the platform of the American Order. . as proclaimed in the Philadelphia Convention. Gen. Cass denies this, and refers to his remarks in the Senate last February, when he expressed his abhorrence of the attempt to-organize po litical and religious intolerance “ in a country founded upon emigration, and grown prosper ous and powerful by toleration.” Ho anounccd in the same speech his utter repugnance to tho now parlies and other combinations of the ene mies of the Democracy, to fasten their odious and often rejected policy upon tho country. “We want no new parties—no new platforms.” he said, “no new organizations—and the sooner those dangerous efforts arc abandoned, the better will it bo for us, and those who arc to follow" us in this heritage of freedom. Tie reiterates these.views. Ho relinquishes none of his opposition to tho secret*order and its prin ciples, and ho regards the Democracy ns the only end true American party.” Wipo Movements in Philadelphia. —The County Convention of the “ Old Lino Whigs,” or those who repudiate Know-Nolbmgism. met at the County Court House, at 3 P.

Twenty-pne members of this section ot the party were placed on general nomination for Assembly,- arid the Convention adjourned (o meet on next Tuesday.week, at 3 Xho “ regular Whig City Convention’' met in the District Court room, at the same honr as the above Convention. After some discussion they adopted a series of resolutions, denounc ing “ all secret political associations £ in favor of “Americanizing the National government, and restricting tho naturalization of foreign ers urging the duty of give us a protective tnrift*; denouncing tho*kanzas- Nebraska bill, and asking for tho Restoration ; of the Missouri Compromise, and repudiating all tho “so-called efforts to reorganize the .Whig parly.” Tho Convention adjourned with' put making any nominations.

Tub Yellow Fever at Portsmouth, Va.— By a letter from a Philadelphia physician, now at Norfolk, Va.. ministering to the comfort of the sick and afflicted, we learn there were five hundred and thirty eases of yellow fever in that city on Saturday, in n population of frbm eight to nine thousand. So great is the panic that there arc a great ninny families who are veiy well off in this world's goods, who ore entirely dependent on the Howard Assosiulion for their bread and meat. ,Wo are further ji] formed that '* The city indeed presents a lamentable as pect.
