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. Think of the Alien and Sedition
Laws, and the immortal Jefferson—of the,
United States Bank and the•glorious Jack
son. Then think of 'the vulgar proscrip
tive Know-Nothing tyrants, and resolve as
one man to crush them. AW ART ' A

your votes solid for WILLIAM BIGLER, and

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 ! Look out for ly
ing telegraphic reports to-day, about
MOBS, RIOTS, &c., in the larger cities,

Beware of Whig Falsehoods S
The friends of one or both of the Whig
candidates for Congress have started and
circulated a report in this City, and doubt
less throughout the County, that JOSEPH
S. 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!
A very large and enthusiastic meeting of
the Democracy of Conestoga and the adjoining
township, was held at the public house of
JOBS . ROLF, Esq., in Safe Harbor, Saturday
evening. ADAM KENDIG, Esq., presided as
sisted by Messrss. John Dailey, Edward Brady,
John IVladdon, Benj'm. Middleton, John Rob

Vice Presidents—and Amos Sourbeer,S3creta

Much enthusiasms prevailed, and the'meet
ing was ably and eloquentl addressed by
JAMES L. REYNOLDS and LoT WATSON Esqrs.,
of this City.
More Aid to the Democracy!
The following ticket for State Officers and
Congressmen has been agreed upon by a Con
vention of the Clay Whigs of Philadelphia :
Governor—William Bigler.
Canal Commissioner--George Dania.
Judge Supreme Court—Jeremiah S. Black.
Congress—Thomas B. Florence—let die.
Joseph R. Chandler-2d do.
James Landy-3d do. •
Henry M. Phillips-4th do.
John Cadwalader-sth do.
gEg- Look out for an immense vote for Gov
ernor BIGLER, in Philadelphia, to-day. The
K now-Nothing candidate, JAMES POI.,LOCK, will
be so badly used up there, that he will hardly
know what hurt him, after the election.,
Look Well at your Ticketu i
Our Democratic friends should examine well
their tickets before voting to-day. Every kind
of mixed and spurious tickets are in circula
tion, and it will require the greatest care on
the part of our friends to guard against im
position. Again we say, EXAMINE WELL
YOUR TICKET, and see that the right names
are upon it, and all in the right place, not on
ly for State, but also for County Moen.

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." ' i
Democratic Know-Nothige.
Some of our Democratic friend's . have been
enticed into the ranks of this secret society, un
der the delusion that some great good is to . b 9
done by an order. that dare not work openly.
Let them now remember that the very first
act required of them is to vote for a Whi l i
Governor. Can they be deceived ' So easily ?r.
Can they he sold so soon? Is it 4ot all a de;
ception; a Whig trap into which they have
fallen? ' But let them further ren tuber that.lie
the oaths they have taken are ; n no sense
binding. They bind neither the conscience;
the honor, nor the act of any man.,
We are told thaf many of the Democrats hi
the State have discovered the fraud, and are
resolved to retritct in time. In Philadelphia;
York county and other places, the defection
t
and re-action are well known, n twithstand
ing all falsehoods to the contra . No one
can fail to see that it is a fraud; Il i ere contr-i
vance to elect a Whig Governor, it possible.-L
-1
What possible good can be gains by that, ex
cept to the. Whig office seekers . Shall the
Democratic party be stricken do n for that
purpose? And will Democrat themselves
help to do it ? We trust not ? I
Will the; threats of vengeance which the
Know-Nothing demagogues make, prevent
h i
any honest man from leaving th it ranks?—
We trust no Democrats have yet alien so low
as to be influenced by such f ars. Those
threats come from men who hay large-sums
of money bet on the election. lust Demo

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.—

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. The
meeting adjourned with nine hearty cheers
for BIGLER and DemocracyL,

Leavenworth city Ls situated on the Missouri river, about '
three miles below the fort of that name, upon a high bold
bluff. The site covers three hundred and twenty acres,
and Is owned by a company of thirty-two enterprising gen:
Human who have already expended I:2500 incpreparing
the ground and removing the brush and undergroWth': 1
and they have still a large number of men employed cut
ting out and improving the street. .
There is already a steam 5a.... toad In operation, and one
house finished, in which the Kansas /Jerald, a demoeratic
paper is published; several business houses are being erect
ed., and almoit every steamer tint comes up the Missouri
brings us the frame work of dwelling houses ready to put
together. 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. Ile can note the
pleasant groves, that skirt the various streams, and chequer
the.fair surface of the "Queen of the Prairies:' Under the
roots of the rising bluff, numerous springs issue forth, and
invite the weary traveller to come and quench his thirst.—
Rocks are seen jutting out into the river, which give per
manency to the bluff. and affords a good protection
against the current of the Missouri river. Already the
spirit of man is fully awakened by the glowtng prospect of
the place, and his capital, and laborers are engaged in erect
ittg 'workshops and forges. The hand of enterprise is fast
removing the stately oak and llowly shrub, preparatory to
.he erection of dwellings and ; busiuess houses. Soon the

To me this appears to be the point at which must be
done the heavy, shipping, re.shipping, and mercantile bus
h:less of the whole territory north of the Kansas river, as
well as for a portion of country south of It. Thoso who
have been living In this country for some time and who
are acquainted with Its resources, say Una it will be the
most important town on the river. Our people are anxious.

arbiter of the rights and interests of• the peo
ple.
Resolved, That we believe Henry S. MOT;
our candidate for Canal Commissioner, to be

Resolved, That in the present, organized
political band termed Know-Nothiugs, we re

THE HARVEST IN GREAT BarrAlN.—The :har
vest in Great Britain is reported to be unusu
ally abundant. 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.
There is an astonishing reaction:in-his favor
in Philadelphia, and our friends there are ma
fidently calculatingAn sending him out of the
Consolidated City with a handsothe majority

exercise the must,grievous Spiritual bondage. Its oijeet is

left Westport on last Monday, in company with a friend
for the "Kansas Basin." 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,

treaty, everylShawneo is allowed two hundred acres of laud

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. Many of 0101.11 had scarcely
money enough to bring them here, and 'ere spring will see

located in the village of Churchtowni Lancaster county, in
the midst of one of the most beautiful and healthy die

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

dash rapidly over its rocky bed, or meander softly through ,
the verdant meadows. Ap the Welsh mountain rises ab
