KRLLER, Warwick CORONER CLARK PHILLIPS, DnLillore ABSOCILA.TE LAW JUDGE NEWTON LIGHTNER, Pity. Know.NothingisM . The Pennsylvanian, of Friday last, exposes in toto the proceedings of the Grand State Council of Know-Nothings, which held their session, in Philadelphia, on ,the Tuesday and Wednesday previous. The President of the Council or Convention, it appears, was Profes, sor TIFFANY, of Dickinson College, Carlisle— a Preacher in the Methodilt Church, and a bitter and uncompromising Whig at that.— We have known him for alnumber of years, and therefore do not speak at random. The Pennsylvanian contains a full report of the speeches and proceedings of the Conven tion, notwithstanding they sat with closed doors, and had taken every precaution, as they supposed, to prevent any-thing from leaking out. By this report we learn that there are, or were 635 Lodges in the State, and that the members in good standing number 80,000, of whom 62,000 are Whigs and 18,000 Democrats —but. it was feared by some of the speakers that many of the Democrats would resign or be expelled before the dayi of the election.— Within•the last two weeks 30,000 resignations and expulsions hail taken place. In York county alone the number had decreased from 2700 to 700! and elsewher; in the State the same condition of things existed. The President and several of the speakers further stated, that should ;the proceedings of the Grand Council he exposed by the Penn sylvanian, as the proceedings of the Order heretofore had been by that paper, they would at once, with all their friehds, withdraw from the concern; and further predicted that, in case of an exposure, nothing could prevent the election of Governor , BIGLER by 15,000 majority. The reason giten for this opinion was that the Whig party throughout the State is disorganized, and that dearly all the Demo - crats who have joined the Lodges, finding it incumbent upon them, in compliance with their oaths, to vote for P4LOCK, have with drawn. ' : A resolutnn was offered by WILLIAM D BAKER, Esq., a Whig meniber of Philadelphia and adopted,. requesting the members of the Order to go armed to the Polls and SEIZE UPON TIIE BALLOT-BOXES wherever it may be deemed necessary!! This exposure of the action of the Grand Council, and their treasonable designs against the purity of the elective franchise and the ballot boxes, we .think must put a finishing stroke to Know-NOthingism. This second edi tion of " Buckshot and Ball" tactics, will open the eyes of every Democrat, who yet adherep to the Order, to the real designs of the leading conspirators, allof whom are Whigs, and in duce him at once to retrace his steps into the ranks of his old party, and assist in saving the Constitution and laws of the country from the dangers which now menace them. _ Day i■ Breaking ! From nearly every portion of this county we have cheering political tidings. Our dem ocialic friends ate fully aware of the nature and condition of the opposition they have to meet and they have determined to meet it firmly, AND TO HELP PUT DOWN BY A CON TROLLING MAJORITY; the secret conspir acy with 'Which some foolish men have eon nived_and calculated to defeat Gov. Bigler. DAY IS BREAKING ! The masses of the Tee ple are awakening to the true issue - placed be fore them. They know and they feel that it is OUR SACRED CONSTITUTION against which the first blow is aimed. WITHOUT A CHANGE OF OUR CONSTITUTION ALL KNOW-NOTHING SUCCESSES ARE VAIN. It is, therefore, TO THE DEFENCE OF THE CONSTITUTION -that the people will rally. Judge Pollock and his brother Know-Nothings will go down like rushes be fore the battle-cry. Not- Democrats alone but Whigs, and all true patriots will join to swell the tide of denunCiation with which the con demnation of the country will be spoken. Ur Now then, for the onset TO-DAY -lea Be Firm---Be 'United! The Democratic party can always be relied upon in times of danger. It is the nation's right hand in time of "War, and her refuge of safety in Peace! 'Denio,cra;ts! contemplate the - history• of the Past.

"UNION, HARMONY & VTCTORY." k ELECTION TO-DAY-OCTOBER 10TH. Farmers', "Mechanics', Workingmen's Democratic Republican State and County Exposed TO DAY decides the great contest in Penn sylvania, and upon its result depends the im portant question whether the Constitution and its sacred obligations are to be respected and perpetuated, by the re-election of WILLIAM BIGLER to the Gubernatorial chair he has so ably and faithfully filled for the last three years, or whether that sacred instrument is to be'rampled under foot, and the reign of in tolerance and proscription commenced by the elevation of Mr. PotLocx, the Whig and Know-Nothing candidate. This day's decis ion will also determine the question as to whether the economical policy pursued by the present Executive,is to be continued which has enabled him to pay off nearly one MILLION of DOLLARS of the Public Debt, notwithstanding the large amount necessaailY expended to complete new works commenced by the preceding adminis tration; or whether a new policy, such as characterized the extravagance and wasteftil expenditure of the Ritner and Johnston dy nasties, shall again be introduced, by which millions will be added to the present debt of the State. This day will also decide the ques tion whether the present healthful state of the Currency shall be continued under the wise and sagacious policy of Governor BIGLER; or whether a new batch of more than forty BANKS is to be created, and the Common wealth again flooded, with a deluge of rotten paper trash, such as followed the creation of the forty Banks chartered against the wish of Simon Snyder, and which brought ruin and desolation upon the people of Pennsylvania— or the more recent crash that occurred in 1837 wider the administration of Joseph Ritner. Citizens of Lancaster county! THIS DAY will decide -these great questions, so important to yourselves and your children. Choose be tween the candidates now before you. We have discharged our duty to the best of our feeble abilities—now, then, do your duty. DEMOCRATS !

LEFEVER, the Democratic candidate, has declined. There is not a word of truth in the story. It is a downright, unmitiga ted falsehood. Mr. LEFEVER has not, and will not decline ;—on the contrary, as the candidate of the party, he expects to receive the vote of every Democrat in the County. Conestoga Awake!

Governor Bigler Under this caption,the Philadelp.ia Crisis, (a Clay Whig paper opposed to 1 . ow-Noth ingism,) has the following remarks l! about the Democratic candidate: li "The great interests in the present contest turn upon the question who shall he our Gov ernor for the next three years. If llthis office falls into the hands of is member of: the Know- Nothing order, It will be used as CONitAD uses his in this city, and as the School Directors have used their's. It is fortunate for the friends of constitutional liberty that Mr. Bic- LER is a man of irreproachable anorals, of great talents, and of elevated views' of states manship. His efforts have been unceasing to keep the State from being overridden,by mon eyed corporations; to prevent the Creation of fresh debts; to insure an economical adminis tration; and ,to stop the passage of "omnibus, bills," whereby the most nefariot.s schemes are realized at the close of the seqsion. The finances of the,Sttte have been so !ably man aged, that we may now fairly be said to be recovering from the incubus that hies weighed upon the energies of the State for so many years past. The saving this year Will amount to THREE QUARTERS OF A , A i IILLION ; and a perseverance in our present, bourse will place us upon the pinnacle of prosperity. * * But it is as the Defender of the Constitu tion, that we wish to present tht claims of Governor BILLER. Among the ear iest in the State to take a decided stand against the pro scription and intolerance of the 'new party, his efforts have been unceasing in the good work. The letter which he wrote while con valescent from a serious sickness; ; is the best f [i exposure extant of the dangero s- tenden cies of Know-Nothingism; and he s the first to have perceived and made dead apparent that to carry out the designs o the Order involve the establishmenp of a State church."

Elder, Abolition, 60 Scattering, JUDGE POLLOCK A's AN ORATOR.—Yesterday evening we had the pleasure of listening to the Whig candidate for Governor, who ad dressed a large crowd in the rear of the Ameri can Hotel. 'By this we do not mean that we heard all he said. That was quite out of the question, in as much as the Judge's undulat ory style of oratory only allows the audience , to catch his sentences at the crest, when a violent emphasis on "Church and State," "school fund," "sale of the main line," "pol luting step of slavery," gives them an idea of what he is talking about. He, however, in formed the people that there. was a time when he could have been heard in his lowest whis per, but it only demonstrated that he had seen his best days. As a speaker, Judge POLLOCK will not bear a .comparison either with Governor BIGLER, for with the man that BIGLER beat, in the last campaign. He has neither the fanciful humor neces sary to amuse, nor the power of consecu tive, condensed thought essential to produce conviction. He may safely be set down as a very common lawyer, and will probably find his superior in every bar in the country. In personal appearance he is also as much infer ior to his present competitor as to his rival in the Whig Convention, General LARIMER.— Pittsburih Union Sept. 12. Old Berks Fore.er! An immense Democratic meeting (as we learn from the Gazette) was held in Centre Square, in the City of Reading, on Thursday evening—which was addressed by Governor BIGLER for upwards of an hour. The Gazette says: He gave a faithful account of the acts of his administration—made some eloquent remarks upon the general principles of Democracy— and exposed the dangerous and unconstitution al tendencies of Know-Nothingism with con vincing force. The Governor's speech was pronounced by all who heard it, an able and unanswerable effort, and made him many new friends among those who, had heretofore been misled in regard to his true position.

Leavenworth is located upon the lands of the Delaware Indians. In tha treaty with them It was agreed that thelr land should be surveyed and sold to the high est bidder; that after thif expenses of the survey were paid the balance should go to the Indians, which of course pm. ' eludes the pre-emption by the settlers. With this treaty our people are dissatiefied,as the Delaware land is the best in the territory, and the recommendation of the Superins dent of Indian Affairs at St. Louts, that these lauds when surveyed shall be sold at St. Louis =dottier cities, with6ut settle eats the roach of settle eats with general disapprobation. This course Ivo d throw the land speculators and shy, locks, who wo d not let it go for less than their prices, and would for a long time keep the country from being settled up. Ido not believe that it is the intention nor the wish of the government that they shall pass from the hands of the settlers, and it is to be hoped that, in accor dance with the wishes of stir people, a new treaty will be made with them. On Friday last the first number of the frames Herald was published: The foreman in the office is a Lancluteilin Mr. Henry Smith; he learned the printing business in the old Lancaster EidtAfreiaid office, twenty years ago.. The type was .set' uuder au elm tree, and the editorials written in a tent, the Editor setting on the ground -with a big shingle on his knee for a table." Truly ours is a profes. sive age. Formerly in the settlement of a town a 'doss was the last thing thought of; now his the first. -Young America is in the ascendant, and old eigyista need not show its face in Kansas. Leavenworth will be the metropolis, and doubtless the temporary capital of the territory. The Dispatch publish. ed at Independence (Mo.) speaking of it says: The locality otthe city is on a high bluff, that skirts the river for several miles. Standing on the site, one can gaze upon the prairie which gradually rises in undulating waves, and stretches far to the westward.

All the leading journals are full of glowing accounts in relation to it.— The subject, indeed, is one of universal rejoi cing. The Londorf Times states that the dif ference_ in the price of • wheat, compared with that in the previous twelve month, will be at least 20s. a quarter in favor of theuublic, which on the whole consumption will amount to a boon of £25,000,000 to that pub lic on wheat alone, besides a corresponding relief on other grain. Col. Webb, of the New York , Courier, who is now in London, also writes: • "I have never before visited the rural die-. tricts of England during harvest time, and I have arrived at the conclusion .from all I can learn from the, oldest inhabitants that the 'wheal, crop, now being rapidly secured, with out the slightest injury from the occasional showers which have fallen in several districts and slightly retarded the work, is not only the greatest in extent, but the most productiveper acre that has ever been produced in the Uni ted - Kingdom. February, lilarel4.and April were the dryest months rememlfied to have occurred in this country, and, during this pie riod more acres were sown with wheat, and it was altogether better sown and got in, than any previous year. A good growing season fol lowed, and now there are thoudands of acres lying contiguous to each other which will yield upwards of sixty bushels to the acre.— This greatly astonished me, but in certain dis tricts this is not an unusual yield here. lt is unusual, however, that this great yield should cover so great an 'extent of country as it does this year. The average per acre thistirear is estimated at thirty-three bushels and upwards for England." * We had the pleasure, on Tuesday evening last, of listening to, a clear and luoid address from Governor 181011 R aan immense meeting of the Demobracy held at the cornbr of Market and Broad streets, Philadelphia„ The Governor was populist:ly happy in his re marks, and great enthusiasm prevtuled.

The first day we made Wahka mesa Creek, the line which divides the reservation from the territory lac/aired by treaty from the Shawnees. We were handsomely entertained by Floury Blue Jacket, a half breed Shawnee, a man of Much intelligence, and ono of the principal men In the trlbti. The Blue Jacket flintily com mand much influence among the Shawnees, and the three brothers wore of the eight tent to Washington City [outdo, the treaty. Henry Is the eldest, and Is comfortably situa ted, having Li tine dwelling and au excellent tarn. By the treaty, everylShawneo is allowed two hundred acres of laud for himself, and a.like aumunt for his *l5, and each of his children; and white men laving married Shawnee wives before its ratification are placed upon au equal footing with them. Six miles west of Wahliaroosa we struck - Back Bone ltidge " a reeky ridge which has been selected by the Alit, litiou?sts seat here by the "New England Transis,rtation Society," aliss Aid Socletyl, as their town site. They have not us yet erected their canoe but are living ID tents, and the new recruits just arrived have caused them to believe that Kausasis already abalitionixed, and their mission ac complished. i They are surrounded by Western men—men from the surrounding States, free as well as slave, by whom they are despised for the sentiments they entertain and the doctrines they preach.

On the Ist day oflast May the Cieniarvon parochial Acad emy was first opened for 'the reception of students. It LW located in the village of Churchtowni Lancaster county, in the midst of one of the most beautiful and healthy die tricts of the county. A convenient and handsome edifice, sufficient to accommodate eighty students, has been erect ed on an cuiluence commending an extensive view of the surrounding valley. A tower has been built upon It tor. a cluck audibell, and front this tower, is seen one of the most lovely , latuiscapes on which the eye could wish to rest. For many mlles around you is spread out at your feet, one of our 'richest vallieit, through which the Conestoga winds its serpentine course; sometimes expending into the form of a lake, to-give the power of its waters to the for'e man's haminer, and sometimes contrasting its borders to dash rapidly over its rocky bed, or meander softly through , the verdant meadows. Ap the Welsh mountain rises ab ruptlY, end winds around you, you find yourself in a beautiful amphitheatre, in which the dark shadows of the dense and lofty forest are strikingly' contrasted with the smiling verdure of the valley.
