The Delegate Elections The primary meetings for the election of delegates in the several wards, boroughs and townships of the County, will take place on Saturday nest, at the usual time and places for holding such elections. See call of County Committee. The -County Committee were divided in opinion as to the expediency of settling a reg ular Democratic ticket—hence a majority of the body thought it best to issue a call for a Convention, and thus referthe subject direct ly to the people. The delegates will come to gether with a full knowledge of public senti ment iu their respective districts—and they will, therefore, be prepared to decide the ques tion i 4 such a way as a majority of the party may direct—either by nominating a full tick et, a part of a ticket, or no ticket at all. In view of their great :importance at this particulniuncture, we hope our Democratic friends will turn out in their full strength at the elections on Saturday, and elect such del egates as will faithfully and honestly carry out their wishes on the subject. It is all-im portant to the Deinocratic party that nothing should be done by which its present flattering prospects in this County would be blighted.— It is for the people themselves, through in structions to their delegates, to determine the question in the premises. Their will is our law in relation to the matter. Judge Black's Letter. The Democratic candidate for the Supreme Bench, IL.n. JEREMIAH S. BLACK, with that stern and lofty independence and integrity which have always marked his character, has declined answering the question put to him by the State Temperance Convention, asking his opinion of the constitutionality of the Maine Liquor Law. lie says, among other reasons fcir his refusal, that the law having been declared unconstitutional by the Judges of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, and ,the eight Judges in Michigan being equally ' divided on thequestion, he cannoticonsistent ly with his sworn duties, prejudge the case, by giving an opinion until after the arguments of the objectors shall have been heard. He says further, that if he were obliged to answer this ' question, he might, with the same pro priety, be asked to pledge himself in advance in all suits concerning cities, corporations or individuals. The Judge thus concludes his able and satisfactory letter: I acknowledge the obligation of a candidate for political or representative office to make his opinions known. But it is the duty of a Judge to keep himself uncommitted until he hears all that can be said on both sides. I will promise nothing at present, except to decide it honestly and according to my best judgme at, when it arises. If I should be elected, I will take a solemn affirmation (equivalent, by the laws of Pennsylvania, to an oath) that I will support the Constitution. This vow I mean to keep; and that I may keep it the better, I will make no other, which can, by any possibility, interfere with it. The Truth well Spoken I Unfortunately for the American cause, there are too many men advocating it who are totally destitute of honesty and patriotism.— Self aggrandizement and advancement is all they care about. To accomplish this, they re sort to any means, however dishonorable, or however destructive they may be to the furth erance of American principles. To them prin ciple is nothing—a great moral and political cause is nothing—the permanency and per petuity of free institutions are worthless, in comparison with their personal vanity, inter est and ambition.—American Citizen. ma... Verily, this is the honest truth, every word of it; but we little expected it from the quarter it emanates. We always believed the leaders in the Know Nothing crusade to be, a set of broken down political hacks who had lost all influence in the party to which they re spectively adhered, wl. , ose only motive was to grasp the spoils of office through this secret po litical machinery; but we did not anticipate a confession of the kind from the `:.American Citiaeri, the Know Nothingorganof this city. It into be hoped, now that the "Citizen" has madea clean breast of it, that thiS band of conspirators against the. Constitutions of the State ankNation, will be unable, any longer, to deceive.their know nothing and simple mind ed folloWers. kir The following communication is from the pen of one of the most intelligent, sato .

Ma EDITOR :—As .an old Democrat permit , met ay, through the columns of your jour nal, that an experience of five and twenty years in the politics of Lancaster county, abundantly satisfies my mind that we have much to lose and nothing to gain by settling a full Democratic ticket in the present cam paign. Indeed, the hietory of the last twenty years proves that it is, a suicidal policy, and only calculated to enure to the benefit of our opponents. The Whig party is at the present time torn and convulsed with dissensions from the centre , to the circumference . of the county —and hundreds, aye thousands of them are in open revolt against their city leaders and dictators. The shameless bargaining and ,cor ruption manifest in their recent County Con vention have opened the eyes of the honest portion4f-the party to the necessity of putting a check to such profligacy—and multitudes are now anxious . to see an Independent Tick et, composed of good and pure men of both parties, Whig and Democratic, brought into the field, for the purpose of breaking down the corrupt system referred to. This feeling is not confined to one branch of the Whig party, . but is largely participated in by both, as any one can find if he takes the. trouble to travel through the County. What, then, Mr. Editor, is the true policy of the Democratic party ? Clearly not to set- tle a full Democratic ticket=in fact, to settle no ticket at all ; but to meet that portion of the Whig party above referred to, in a spirit of compromise, and unite upon an Independent Ticket, made up of good and honest men of both parties. Should this be done, and car ried out in good faith at the polls, such a tick et will undoubtedly be elected, and thus our Democratic friends will get a portion of the offices from which they have been unjustly ex cluded, with one exception, for a quarter of a century. But should the County Convention, which is to assemble next week, nominate an out and out Democratic ticket, it will be looked unn as an unkind act by our Whig friends—as a disposition to have every thing or nothing— and must necessarily have the effect of at once driving them back into the ranks of their own party. Such a course will result in certain defeat to the Democratic County ticket, and will also seriously weaken our vote on the State ticket—while it will serve to again con solidate and strengthen the Whig party in the County. ' Ido sincerely hope, Mr. Editor, that our Democratic friends throughout the county will look at this matter in its true light; if so, I have no doubt they will instruct their dele gates to the,County Convention to oppose the settling of a ticket at all, in whole or in part, which is the TRUE POLICY. RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE.—It is seldoln we find anything in the New York Tri bune, so much to the point as the fol lowing. The Editor is speaking of the ri diculous warfare which a new and dangerous organization in this country, is trying to fo ment between Protestants and Catholics—and the _pretended fear Which some profess, that Catholicism and Republican Governments are antagonistical. He says: ‘"rruth compels us to add that the oldest Republic now existing; is that of San Marino, not only Catholic, but wholly surrounded by the especial dominion of the Popes, who might have crushed it like an egg-shell at any time these last thousand years—but they didn't. The only Republic we ever traveled in beside our own, is Switzerland, half of its cantons or States entirely Catholic, yet never that we have heard of unfaithful the cause of freedom. They were nearly all Roman Catholics, from the southern cantons of Switzerland, whom Austria so ruthlessly expelled from Lombardy after the suppression of the last revoltin Milan, accounting -them natural-born Republicans and Revolutionists; and we suppose Austria is not a Know Nothing on this point. We never heard the Catholics of Hungary accused of backwardness in the late glorious struggle of their country for freedom, though its lead ors were Protestants, fighting against a lead ing Catholic power avowedly in favor of Reli gious ar well as Civil Liberty. And chivalric, unhappy Poland, almost wholly Catholic, has made as gallant struggles for freedom as any other nation, while of the three despotism that crushed her, but one was Catholic. We do not hope to stop the crusade of intolerance and violence now setting against the Catholics, calling for 'their disfranchisement, and threat ening their temporary exclusion from all pub lic trusts. Epidemics of this sort must have their course; and this one has some truth and a large amount of honest bigotty, on which to base its operations. Quite a number whose religion never till now did them much good or harm, will ride into office on the back of their resonant Protestanism, and that will be the end of.the matter. The Naturalization Laws will remain essentially as they are; and Know Nothingism will give place to some new fashion in politics, perhaps equallyfacti -dons, after a few changes of the moon." US— The Whigs—we mean that faltiorrwho blindly follow the lead of the City dictators— are just now in a quandary about a candidate for Judge. Their County Committee, which met last week, requested the nominee settled upon the ticket, Mr. BROWN, to decline, for the reason that it was considered a nomination "not fit to be made." And the Examiner, their organ, a day or two afterwards, announced that he had declined. But this announcement, it ap pears, was premature and without authority. Mr. BROWN has not yet declined—not evincing any willingness to be thus unceremoniously thrust aside to gratify the whims or caprices of the gentlemen at the head of the party— and it is not certain that he will authorize his name to be taken frbm the ticket, and thug forego the chance of robing himself in the ju dicial ermine. At all events, there is trouble in the whig-wam, and there is no telling at this stage of the game what may grow out of it. Mr. BROWN, we believe, was fairly nomi nated,—at least as fairly as could be expect ed in such a trading, corrupt convention—and he and his friends will hardly submit in a graceful and docile manner to be thus ostra cised. There is evidently fun ahead. FORCE OF PUBLIC OPINION.—The School Di rectors of the 16th Ward, Philadelphia, have re-ihstated the teachers whom they removed from the public schools, on account of their religious opinions! The people of that City have had quite a surfeit of Whig Know Noth ing intolerance and proscription, and pub lic opinion is setting in so strongly against it, that even those proscriptive Directors have been forced to remedy the grievous wrong they had committed. lE.

The t rn Oted fro L :na - the Klelnmynd..Exaniin sr, lets reader yet farthez*ito secrete; organization.— TheSe publications prove that the two Cardi nal points of their faith are bitter and unre lenting hostility to all, Foreignefs, and Catho lics, naturalized as well as unnaturalized. If any facts were wanting to confirm the truth of this exposition, it would be found - in the action of the Know Nothing Mayor of Phija delphia in lefusiMg to _appoint any, foreign beam citizen to office no matter how worthy he may haire been; nor what may be his religious opinions—and in the additional evidence fur nished more recently, of excluding all Catho- lic teachers, female as well as male, from the public schools of Philadelphia; indeed, 'so far luiS this system of proicription been carried, that even those who are known to have Cath olic relatives have also been requested to seek other situations. Thus begins the war of sects in the United. States ; and while infideli- ty is permitted to occupy high places andpour its poison'upon the public ear, the believers in a particular form of religion are ostracised from every office under the government.— Where is such a conflict to end? and who can foretell the disasters - which may befall Amer ican liberties, civil and religious, if such anti republican doctrines once prevail in the poli tics of the country. Rut to the article from the Richmond Ex aminer : ABSTRACT OF THE OATHS AND PI INCIPLES OP THE MYSTERIOUS ORDER OP KNOW NOTHINGS. The candidate is first proposed by a mem ber of the order, to .the council, without his knowledge. Three negative ivotes black-ball him. if elected, he is secretly requested to present himself in the ante-room of the coun cil, when an officer appears from within and administers to him the following oath: "I, —,ll do solemnly swear° upon this se 6red volume (or cross) before Almighty God; and these witnesses,ll that I will not divulge any question proposed to me hered whether 1 become a memberil of this order or not;il and that I will never,ll under any circumstances whatever,lj mention the name of any personil 1 may see presentll during any of the meet ings, or. that I know any such order to be in existence,ll and that I will a true answer make to every' question asked of me, II so help me God. Which being seriously taken by the .candi date, the officer proceeds to propound the fol lowing interrogatories, before reporting to the council his fitness for initiation : "1. What is your name? 2. 'What is your age? 3. Where is your ,residence? 4. In your religious belief are you a Roman Catho lic ? 5. Where were your parents born ? 6. Where were you born? 7. Where were your grand parents born ? 8. Did either of your ancestors take part in the Ameri can Revolution ? 9. Are you willing to use all the influence you possess in favor of native-born American citizens for all offices of honor, trust or profit in the gift of the people; and do you promise to vote for them to the exclusion of all aliens and foreigners, and .Ro man Catholics in particular, for all local, State or Government offices? 10. Who invited you to be present' on this occasion ? If the candidate's answers are satisfactory to these questions, he is taken into the Coun cil by two officers, led up to the President of the Council, • who administer& the following oath'in„the First Degree: voluntarily and freely do solfmnly promise.and swear, before Almighty God and these witnesses around me assembled, that 1 Will not, under any Circumstances whatever, divulge or make known to any person or per sons, either directly or indirectly,- or to any human being other than those I shall know to be good and true members of this Order, the name, secrets, mysteries, or objects of the same, or cause or allow the same to be done by others, if within my power to prevent the same; binding myself under the no less penal ty than that of being excommunicated from the Order, and having my name posted and circulated throughout the different eouncilsi of the Order, as a traitor and perjurer to both my God and country, and as being unworthy to be employed, entrusted, countenanced or supported in any business transaction what ever, and as a person totally unworthy of the confidence of all good men, and one at whom the finger of scorn shall ever be pointed. 1 furthermore promise that if I should hereafter be expelled from, or voluntarily leave this Or der, 1 will consider this obligation as binding out of it as in it. All of which foregoing voluntarily and freely subscribe to, so help me God !" The candidate is then led to an officer called he Judge Advocate, who harangues him after this manner : (There is generally half a dozen or more initiated together.) "My BROTHERS : The Order which has now ' received you as members may with all propri ety be considered a secret organization. Itis so secret in fact, that if you were placed Pe fore a legal tribunal, and there sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, you could not for ytair lives reveal the name of that band of brothers among whom your names now stand enrolled; and further than this, when you retire from this meeting, you Will return to your families and friends as ignorant as when you came, as far as the name of this Order is concerned. "In common with ourselves, you 'Know No thing,' and let it be your stern resolve through life to 'Know Nothing' that will at all conflict with the high and exalted duty you owe to your God, your country, and yourselves, so far as regards the preservation of American liberty, which can alone be secured to our selves and our children by the entire and ab solute exclusion of all foreign influence in those matters which appertain to our govern ment policy." After the delivery of this patriotic address, the candidate is reterred to the Instructor, who teaches him the signs and grips, and in what Manner to obtain entrance into the Council. He is then master of the first degree, and signs his name to the register. If he behaves well two weeks, and it is conceded that he will do to become a full-blooded Know Noth ing—abstains from all blab outside 'the coun cil—his friends propose him fur the second degree. After election to that degree, he and others are brought in and take the following oath s "I , do solemnly promise and swear, before Almighty God and these witnesses,that I will not, under any -circumstances, divulge or make known the name of this Order or its objects, to any person or persons in the world, unless to those whom I may know to belong to this Order, in good and regular standing. "And I furthermore promise and swear that I will neither write, print, paint, cut, carve, engrave, emboss, stump, stain or mark any secrets of this Order on anything moveable or immoveable on the earth or sea whereby said secrets, or any part thereof; the name of the Order, its operations, the. names of its officers, or the names of its members, or its place ot meeting may become known to those who have not received the first and second degrees of this Order in due form: nor will cause or permit the same to be done, if within my power to prevent the same." "And I furthermore promise and swear that I will always conform to the will of the ma jority of the members of this Order, in the se lection of candidates to fill every office of hon or, profit or trust, within the gift of the people provided such candidates shall have been burn of American parents, on American soil, and shall have been educated in American institu tions, and that I will use all the influence I may posses to elect all such candidates whom I may know to be opposed to all foreign influ ence, Popery, Jesuitism and Catholicism, with out any hesitation on my part whatever." "And I furthermore promise and swear that I will strictly conform to and abide by the oath I have now taken, and that I will strict obedience pay to the constitution, laws, rules, ritual and edicts of the honorable Grand Coun cil of this Order, of the State of —, and to the by-laws of Council No. —, to which 1 now belong, or to those of any other Grand or Subordinate Council, from which I may hereafter hail, binding myself under the no less penalties than are attached or belong to those who violate the oath of the • first de gree of this order. All the foregoing I volun tarily and freely subscribe to of my own free will and accord, so help me God 1" This candidate is also led off to the Judge Advocate, and afterwards to the Instructor; but theiir speeches and lectures are not inserted here for want of space. OBLIGATION OF THE THIRD DECREE , kneeling before God, my maker, mytleft,,hand upraised ittiward heaven, nix zotghand grasping the - flag of My native *IA of my own free will and accor d, do soli and sincerely promise; declare* sweat that I will neivit:_tecirirratah*te trity•nt I tht‘suicrets of this degree : M*9r Perscia, orpeir , 4torirs, hi the world, except wftlan the liody nta . legally organized Council Of"tliis Or*, or* a k itilawn brother of this 'egtee, and not nrite themtnitil.l. am well assured tlu#: - fitepam juleind upright brethren; who are l egally titled toyeceive the same.

"I also promise and swear that whenever I may vote at any election, that vote shall in all eases be given for native born Ameriban cifc zeru3 only, and that I will ever seek' the Po litical advancement of those men wholtre good add trite members of this Order. "I also promise and swear that this and all other obligations which :I have previously ta ken in this Order shall be kept through-life sacred and inviolate. I also promise and swear. that whenever I may hear the sign or see the signal of distress given by any brdther of this order, I will hasten at once , to his immediate relief at the peril of my own life. "I also promise and swear that It will ever contribute my means, in such sums' as I can spare without personal inconvenience, to the advancement of our views and to the extension of . American principles through the medium of the Grand Council of the State of -. , "I also promise and swear that I will never permit a spurious or clandestine member of this Order to, participate in any of the benefitsl or the advantages thereof, and that I will nei,, , - er encourage; countenance, uphold, recognirel or support a spurious or clandestine council of this Order. "To all these and those I do most sinceretyl promise, declare and swear,bindingmyselfun-i der no less a penalty than that of having m grave trampled on by foreigners, and to hovel my memory cursed by my children and my children's children, as a traitor to their welfare! to my country and to my. God. So help inel God, and witness my obligation." The Judge Advocate then addresses the new ly initiated brethren in this degree as followSq 'My Brothers : The different obligationsyou have taken in this Order, through its different degrees, must have convinced you that all who claim to be American citizens have cer tain important duties to perform toward thetil selves and to society at large, which duties can in no instance be set aside or annulled with-f out a palpable violation of the dearest rights ] and privileges which, as an admirer of iepu , lican freedom, each and every member of our organization would wish to enjoy. The peculiar formatiOn of our order is Such,: and - its designs so accord with the wishes of; its members, that by a system of concerted acH tion onthe part of our brotherhood,we can bring, about a series of practical, results in ourgovern mental policy that would in . any otherlight be' deemed wholly impracticable. Simplyand alone' it is in vain to contend against the hydra-heail- , ed monster of Jesuitism and Catholicism, hot, united in one common , cause, determined to' secure the liberties of our native land at alli hazards, or perish in the attempt, we cannOtl fail of success. Our cause is a righteous one, the motives which actuate us are of no ordina4 ry character, and we trust that no brothei, among us will ever be found absent from his: post in the hour of danger." The candidate is then again taken to the in structor, who gives him the signs, passwords and grips of this degree. He pays a dime to the Secretary at the ini tiation of each degree, and fifty cents on first entering the ante-room for examination. After the third degree has beeti thus administered, the Secretary gives him a travelling card like this: icamoyn, Virginia, August 1, 1654. JOHN SMITH is a member in good stand ing of MOLLY STARE Council, No. 40, of the State of Virginia. Jona STILES, Secretary. 'Moll!Molly ntara. Connell,' y 10.[*]Richmond, 1 Virginia. This card is carried in the pocket-book, and admits a member into any Council in the State. From the Pennsylvanian we also copy the following which is given as the substance the oath first taken and which correspond6' with the foregoing : First Oath taken by Pollock, on entering the Ante-Room of the Order. "You do swear by Almighty God, the search er of all hearth, that you will not reveal or di vulge any of the secrets of this order which you shall hear or see, and. so you shall itri ewer to God at the great day." . Late from Europe The steamship Asia, which arrived at N . e* York, from Liverpoolfan'Thursday last, brir4 news from Europe three days later than pre- viously received. Cotton has declined—but flour and grain I preserve their former prices. The first 14 of French troops, 3,000 men, are reported M have landed at Perecrop, on the isthmus which connects the Crimea with the main land. The same number of French troops are reportefl also to have landed near Bomarsund, in :the Baltic, to commence operations against thqt place. Russia has announced to Austria that both Moldavia and Wallachia will be evacua ted immediately by the Russian troops, and this seems to be actually going en. There:tale now 80,000 Turkish troops in the Principali ties. Austria has again countermanded 'ae orders for the advance of her forces into Wal lachia, but has formally agreed with Englaqd and France to demand' better terms befoe agreeing to peace, and to require also material guarantees for its preservation. Prussia still preserves her neutrality. The King of Saxony has been killed by ;tli.e overturning of a carriage, and his brother :ha.s succeeded to the throne. In Spain, the Qqeqn Mother, Christiana, was about to depart with her family, when she was detained at the d - mand of the populace, who insist that 'She sl4l be tried before the Cortes for high treason.t This was acceded to by the Ministers. A sharp correspondence on Central Anierm can affairs has taken place between; Mr. 1- CHANAN and Lord CLARENDON, the latter Mai - tamping ultra British pretensions, while Mr. BUCHANAN maintains with great ability: the position of the United States as immoveably. opposed to the British protectorate in Cept#Ll America. PLAIN TALK.—The "AMERICAN BANNFII," the organ of the Native American party, pub lished at Philadelphia, thus retorts in the alle gation of the Sun newspaper, that JAMES PL- Locs. can be elected Governor :—"IVa 4eily that Mr. Pollock can be elected, either as an American or as aWhig, while BENJAMIN Ru i su BRADFORD remains the standard bearer, of the American party; and that he will abide the t issue as the nominee of , the Americamf.lonv n tion, we know. He cannot be bought off or scared off ; and it is folly to build upon- finch expectations. Therefore the conditional !"if" of the Sun amounts to nothing; for should Mr. Pollock fully endorse American principlei4at least so far as to claim the support of 446- cans—the onlyassurance hecan give of thhin cerity of hisconversiOn, will be an immediate resignation as the Whig candidate, and a'',pab lie avowal to support the legal representiltive of those principles, Mr. Bradford. This would be the only honest test of his motives. ! i Fnirs.—On Monday night the 21st init., two tobacco factories, at Richmond, Va., fwere destroyed by fire. Loss $15,000.

My recollect/1M is, that I urged iia„ the people present on that occasion the import..*ice of the temperance reform generally, and: exheirt eathem to vote for a prohibitory diquor law'at the next election. I expressed the belief that the whole question was involved' in the reso hithin allowing the people to vote for and against a prohibitory law, and that the real friends of tempekance should direct their atten tion to that point and that only I:declared my belief that if the law was demanded in this way, by the voice of the people; it mattered but little who filled the office of Governor—the law would be sanctioned—that no.meri would set himself against the will of the people. I said then, as I repeat now, thatl believe either of the distinguished gentlemen would carry out that will ifput in a form consistent with the terms of the Constitution. I did say that Governor Bigler was too good a Democrat to resist the will of the people,and that I had every confidence,besitill in his de sire to do any reasonable and proper thing to arrest the vice of intemperance; that I kew from correspondence and personal intercourse with him, that he held the doctrine that the will of the people should be binding so far as related to'the policy of the measure, but that he would not yield-Xs right to judge of the constitutionality and justice of a law when it came before him—he _would not so far forget the dignity of his station or the obligations of his oath. But Governor Bigler has written to me no letter inconsistent with his manly let ter to the Temperance Convention. I felt more at liberty to say what I did of Govenor Bigler, because I-believe an attempt had been made to prostitute the sacred cause of temperance to mere partizan: ends, and to turn its influence against his re-election. I did not hesitate, as I shall not, to rebuke this at tempt, and I intend go to do whenever and wherever I may meet it, and this is the true •ind real cause of the ~ complaints which, have been preferred against my Bedford address. I also, at the same meeting in Bedford, referred to a secret sworn political organiza tion, whose object, so far as is made known, is to disfranchise every adopted citizen of this glorious country, and that too, in the face cf guaranties of the Constitution of the United Stare , , as well as of our own beloved Common wealth, both of which recognize the adopted citizen on the same broad platform of civil and religious liberty, with the native born. Doui, tless thep" the head and front of my offend Mg" in the eyes of some of the unkpown and nknowing ones, is my strong and uncompro mishig opposition to Jesuitism whether Protes tant or Papal, and with these men the same objection rests against Governor Bigler, be cause of his fixed determination not to violate the Constitution and laws of the laud, by dis franchising athipted citizens either on account of their religion or their place of birth. There are in my own church, and in every other church ;in this "Land of the free and home of the Wive," men of foreign birth as pure patriots, and as good men as ever breath ed the air of freedom men, who, to the letter, obey the Constitution and laws of the country of their adoption. Are these men to he dis franchised and stricken down like felons, by a secret sworn band of petty despots? Every true hearted Constitution and law-loving and law-abiding American Christian and patriot will answer no! But if the men who have em igrated from I Scotland, England, Ireland, \Vales, Germany, France and elsewhere, and made this the land of their adoption, citizens by choice and not by accident, and among whom are to be found our best citizens, are to be turned out of political society and treated like serfs, solely because they were born out of the United States, let those who are secret ly sVrorn thus to treat them, follow the exam ple of the Mayor of Philadelphia, and boldly avow their purpose, and not hide themselves or their actions from the light - of day. It will be much more in accordance with the true American character. So far as regards the bald and wear Inven tion that I was stumping the State for Gover nor Bigler, and the vulgar and childish clamor fur "that Letter," I can afford, so far as I am. concerned myself, to treat them with merited contempt, and to let them pass me as the idle winds. I have a higher, holier, better object in view, the passage of ft, prohibitory Law, and am therefore not alarmed by these Tempests in Penny. TeapOts, neither will they prevent me" from urging upon every friend of humani ty in the State to 'vote for a Prohibitory Liquor Law without fail, and for Governor for whomever they please. As it regards my own vote, I will say that Governor Bigler, nor no other man shall have my vote for the Office of Governor, unless he is willing to submit to the will- ofthe people on this great and all-iinportant question—nor will I vote for a member of either branch of the Legislature on any other, ground. Nor will ever vote for a member of any Jespit Associa tion, Protestantor Catholic, having good reason to believe him such. How could I vote for men who are sworn to disfranchise my father, my uncle, my brother, and some of the best neighbors and dearest friends that I have, and some of the best men in my church? Yours, &c., I JOHN CHAMBERS. . The School Fund The late Whig Address, by the State Cen tral Committee,•is one of its own kind. Among the issues presented, says the address, is the Division of the Common School Fund, and it adds:—Representing, as we do, that party in the Commonwealth which. never has had. sympathy with such designs, and has never countenanced,them, we warn the voters of the State of the danger -which is impending, and callon them for a united and resolute effort to avert it." ' Our readers will observe, in this declaration„ the usual amount of truth generally contain ed in the assertions of the Whig party, and no more. Unfortunately for that party, the record of former acts prove conclusively, the very reverse of the foregoing statements. Let us go back a few years, and see where we find the. Whig party then. Examine the re cord, and we find that in 1836, when Joseph Ritner was Governor, and Mr, Burro Wes was Superintendent, of Common Schools, the latter recommended, and had introduced in a bill to the Legislature, a section providing for an appropriation of the common. School Fund to such schools as may thereafter be endowed. The bill was passed, was signed by Joseph Ritner, and became a law. Was this "coun tenancing" a division of the School Fund? Was this showing sympathy? Perhaps not. What, then, was it? _ _ But agpin: In 1838, the same party holding the reins of Government, another bill was introduced, passed by the Legislature, and signed by the Whig Governor, Joseph Ritner, not only "countenancing," but actual ly providing for the Payment to schools estab lished by a religious society, for the support of such school, money not exceeding the rateable share of the taxable inhabitants whose children or ' apprentices should be taught therein. In 1838, a draft of a new bill was sent by Mr. Burrows to the Legislature, providing for the same di.visions; and he spoke of them, in his report,) as having "been found beneficial in practice." And yet the Whigs tell us that they "never had sympithy with such designs, and haVe never countenanced them." In 1848, the Whigs again had the ascend ency in the State,• and again for the third time, a section providing for •the very division againstwhich the Whig Addresssays the Whig party has always contended, was inserted in the school law at the time of its being remodelled. If, in the history of the Whig party of this State, nothing tenable can be found upon which to boast of the consistency of thO Whig party than their oppositiim to such Division of the School Fund, thehi case is indeed hope less. Finding themselves unable to meet the issues presented by the Democratic party, they attempt to create one that never existed. Happily it , is written—"By their fruits ye shall know them.,'— West.

On Sunday morning a ver dict of guilty was rendered—but the sentence was not pro nounced at the time our paper went to press on yesterday afternoon .a motion for a new trial being made. Lehigh County The Democyacy of Lehigh had an immense County Meeting on the 19th inst. The fol lowing excellent resolutions, amongst others, were unanimously adopted: 6. Resolved, That we have the highest re gard for our present Governox Wm. BIGLER, whom the people with wonderful unanimity have nominated for re-election. In his admin istration we see every thing to admire and no thing to condemn. Elected to the important office of Governor three years ago, and to suc ceed the administration. of a designing dema gogue, he had all the evils of a corrupt admin istration to correct, and from that till now, though tried as no other man was ever tried, he has proved tofriend and foe that nothing has prompted him to do any act other than his convictions of right. 7. Resolved, That in the letter of Governor BIGLER to the Temperance convention, as all others ; coming from him, we see the bold man liness that has characterized his whole life and instead of begging for the office at the.oxpense of honesty and fairness he takes ground that shows him to be the true patriot, the able ex ecutive, and withal the noblest work of God, an honest man. 8. Resolved, That in the Whig candidate for Governor, JAIIES Pom,ocx, we have presented to the people a man who is the sworn foe of the foreigner, the proscriptive, intriguing fawn ing suppliant tool of a reckless rotten party, a man who has pledged himself to sign a bill whether constitutional or not, and the true embodiment of the opponents of the democrat ic party. 10. Resolved, That in our nominees for Judge of the Supreme. Court, Judge BLAcx and for Canal Commissioner, Col. Morn, we have men beyond the power or even the disposition of our opponents. to say aught against ; that in the hand of such men the judiciary and the interests of the people will be well cared for. PRE-EMPTION RIGHTS.—The Washington Union pUblishes the Attorney General's opin ion on pre-emption rights in Kansas and Ne braska. Mr. Cushing says the act of congress , gives pre-emption only in such of the lands ceded by the Indians as are - not required first to be. offered at public sale ; that the lands ce ded under the condition of being first offered at public sale, are no more open to pre-emp tion by act of congress, than was the military reservation at Fort Leavenworth; that those, lands"cannot be taken up by settlers under . claim,of pre-emption, and that such cl& will be void in law, and:will confer no righ on which a demand fora patent can be mad from the commissioner of public lands. Mor: over, it will be the ddty of the President maintain by force the plighted faith of t. • United States in thiematter. • NOWPILMPTON CouNry.—The: Democra c county meeting , held at Easton on Mond: • week, was largely attended and very harmou ious. Strong resolutions were passed in favor of the State and National Administrations, so in favor of the Kansas and Nebraska bill. The meeting was addressed by Senator Broad head, sov.
