Tan cam arm! azzonammDs nom TILE FOUL AND PESTILENTIAL =BRACE Or ESOW-NOTHINGIBM I Glorious Result of last Tuesday's Election t AVERAGE MAJORITY OVER 100 11 The election on Tuesday last, in this City, for 12 School Directors, to , serve for three yenrs, resulted in the complete prostration of Know-Nothingism, as will be seen from the offiicial vote published below. It bi indeed a glorious triumph for the people over the pro scription and intolerance which have been so rampant here for the last twelve months, and the result completely-seals the death warrant of Know-Nothingism in our midst. Last year, at the School election, the people were surprised to learn, after the election was over, flint three gentlemen were elected as K.nbw- Nothings by a majority of nearly 700 votes, over three others. because two of the latter h4pened to hold to a different religious faith, and the other a native of another clime. At the i October election these same Know-Noth ings again carried the City by some 600 votes, and a third time, at the municipal election in February, by between 2 and 300. This was their last victory. The tablesiave now turn ed, and hereafter the old City will be herself again. One gentleman on the anti-Know- Nothing ticket, Mr. STOEK, was defeated by twenty votes through misrepresentations and falsehoods circulated against him. The following is the result. , rEOPLE'S TICKET: KNOW-NOTECCTO TICKET. Dr. F. A. 3luhlenberg, 699 I Mich& Gelger, 595 George M.. Kline, 700 W. W.

'606 No Right.Ehl The majority of the election hoard, being Know-Nothings, and one of them an officer of the Corporation, decided, on Tuesday evening last, that the people•had no right to oversee them whilst counting the tickets. Consequent , ly, they locked the door, closed the windows, and refused even to permit a committee from eachof the p arties tobe present! This was an un heard of proceeding—an unprecedented out rage on the rights and customs of the people, exercised from time immemorial, which none but .Nichts hissers would have been guilty of, And, we are sorry to say, they were encoura ged to this course by a Know. Nothing Magis trate, who, for many years, was fed and fos tered by the Democratic party, and continued in an office f,r which he was totally unfit. The Philadelphia Election An Tuesday last resulted in a drawngame be tween the two parties—each having electedabont an equal number of Councilmen. This all things considered, is a substantial defeat of Knuw-NJthingism in that City, where, less than a twelve month ago, CONRAD was elected Mayor by over 8,000 majority,and nearly every member of the 'Councils was of the same KnTv-Nothing ;tripe. For City Treasurer and,Co:mbisioner the Know-Nothing candi 'dates, Messrs. MORTON and HILL, are an nounced as being elected—the first by 422, and the second by 136 majority. This is close shaving in a poll of nearly 45,000 votes. put, as nearly all the officers of the aection were unscrupelous Know-Nothings, (and Perhans imitated their brethren here in Lan- Caster by counting off the bgllots in secret! ) and for various other good and sufficient rea sons assigned,- the Pennsylvanian believes that gross frauds have been perpetrated, and that so far fom being elected, they were ac tually defeated. That paper says:— "Not a single person conversant with polit ical affairs, believes that such a result was honestly obtained. For our own part—and We know something of the machinery of elec tions, and the scoundrels who live by fraud Perpetrated on the ballot boxes and returns— we are convinced, that a majority has been obtained fo- Dr. Morton and Mr. Hill, SINCE THEY WERE DEFEATED ON TUESDAY LLAST." This is strong language to use, and yet a atronger charge of fraud is made. But the paper in question fortifies its position by facts 'and circumstances, which render it probable —nay almost certain—that, fairly and honest ly, the Know-Nothing candidates were'defeat 'ed at the polls, and that a contrary result has been brought about by corruption and ras cality. The matter should be thoroughly in vestigated. Am Appropriate Remark i The Pennsylvanian of Thursday, in alluding to the result of the elections in this City and Philadelphia, on Tuesday last, quaintly re marks : "San[ had his back broken in Phila delphia. and his neck in Lancaster, on the same day." And adds;—"The unruly rascal has been roughly handled of late, and will soon be known only through the history of his folly, impertinence, cupidity and proscrip tion." Sic transit gloria mundil A. Good Amendment During the discussion of the House bill, rela tive to naturalization of aliens, some two weeks 'ago, Gen. GROSS, one of the members from this county, offered the following amend ment, which was, of course, strongly opposed by many of the Nichts Wissers present : • Provided, That the provisions of this act shall not apply to foreigners resident within the State, prior to the 4th of July, 1855. SA= or THE Mats LINE.—The bill for the sale of the Main Line passed the Senate finally on Friday, by a vote of 22 to 11. The mini mum price is fixed at eight millions. If pur chased by the Pennsylvania Railroad Compa ny, an additional million will be required, in consideration of the repeal of the tonnage tax. The bill to abolish the Board of Canal Com missioners, has been indefinitely postponed in the House sac. The editors of the York Republican complain tliht Dr. JassE ORAN, late of Stras burg, is into them to the amount of Sll. We have a small interest in Jesse, too, to the amount of S 3, which we will dispose of cheap. Who will give us a bid? ANOTHER Smesa.—At an election, held on Monday week, in Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana, theKnow-Nothing candidate received a very handsome dressing at the hands of tbe. Democracy. Last year the Know-Nothings carried the city 'by 200 majority; now they -are beaten by 248, being a gain of 488 in.six °nth!. Political Protestantism. The if.now-Nothing papers object to the in terference of Catholic priesbt. injolitici and elections. So do we. We go further: we ofi ject to.the interference of Itorotestant priests in politics and elections. The Know-Nothings' deprecate political Romanism. Su dowe.— •We go further: we depricate political Protes tantism. The Know-Nothing papers abhor Jesuitism. So do we; but no more Catholic than Protestant Jesuitism. The institutions of this country contemplate a complete separathin of Church and State, in theory and in fact. We are in favor of it. It is one of the best features of the Constitu tion. It will be a / taste of the millenium when priests - of all creeds and sects shall de vote themselves singly to spiritual affairs, and leave-temporal affairs to be managed by - those educated to the business When that day shall have come, there will be far less strife, less contention, less bigotry and less infidelity in the land than now. It will be " the good time come." There is a deal of infidelity abroad, and it is every day Spreading, mainly because there are few counteracting influences. The Chris tian church is not engaged in the same mis sion it once was. Its adherents have not the same faith in the saving grace and efficacy of the Gospel they once had. They no longer appeal to the consciences of men, as they used to do, but appeal to the legislature to make laws to compel men to be good. Its ministers (we speak of the Protestant church) leave the pulpit for the hustings; abandon divinity for politics. They have been known to join Know- Nothing lodges, and to took the fearful, wick ed, damning oaths there administered. The descent is fearful. No wonder that infidelity prevails. We observed, the other day, among the Ames of officers elect of one of our city Christian churches, that of a notoriously prom inent Know-Nothing, but not notorious for pi ety. We make no profession ourselves, but we know what mockery of religion is. No wonder, we say, that infidelity prevails. Things, we suspect, will be mended by and by. Massachusetts has a full fruition of Know-Nothingism. Through the instrumen tality of the Order thirty or forty professed misisters of Christ were sent to the legislature. Those thirty or forty ministers have not exer cised influence enough to save the legislature from disgrace. We do not know that they have tried. They voted for the appointment of the committees whose exploits have been recorded in the public journals, and one of whose members offered •shameful indignities to the Lady Superior of a convent, and anoth er of whom, on the expedition to another con vent, carried with him a disreputrible person of the opposite sex, whose expenses were paid by the State ! These things were enacted, in the name of Protestantism, in Massachusetts, by a - committee of a legislature containing among its members thirty or forty professed ministers of the Gospel. They never will be re-enacted in that State; Massachusetts has had a surfeit of Know Nothingism. Few oth er States will desire to be thus sated. We believe in Protestantism. But_w-e don't believe in political Protestantism. We don't believe in Protestantism that countenances Know-nothingism. We don't believe in the Protestantism which permits its priests to de file their religion. We don't believe in Pro testant inquisitions more than in Catholic in- quisitious—in American inquisitions more than in Spanish inquisitions. The Protes tantism we believe in is that whose weapons are truth, and whose faith is in its efficacy.— This is what Protestantism used to be—what it must be if it would save itself from disgrace and ruin, and the country from infidelity. Know-Nothiugism has done Catholicism no injury yet. What injury has it not done Protestantism ?—Detroit Free Press. WANTED-AMERICA:CS TO TAKE SEBASTOPOL. —The London Times has an article strongly squinting towards American recruits, and which concludes as follows: "We should hare little difficulty in raising 50,000 men for the year 1858, but they are wanted forthe year 1855. As thecausein which we are fighting is a common one, there can he no reason why we should not accept the co operution of others ithereve: it can be biwful ly obtained, and, if the Americans can show us the way to take Sebastopol, we should be quite ready to learn, and give them every credit ; for the lesson." The above short paragraph contains a world of meaning, and affords food for much and important reflection. It is a virtual admis sion on the part of the leading government papers of London, that the attempt of the al lies to take Sebastopol will prove, as it has already proved, a decided failure, growing out of the difficulty, if not utter impossibility of raising a sufficient number of soldiers in Great Britain to accomplish the object—to say noth ing of the gentle hint thrown out of the want of skill on the part of the officers of the allied army. But there is an admission of still greater importance in the closing sentence of the paragraph, and we have italicised it :for the purpose of arresting the attention of our readers. "If the Americans can show us the way to take 'Sebastopol, we should be quite ready to learn, and give them every credit for the lesson." How long is it since the English press and statesmen contemptuously derided the Americans for want of skill and bravery ? But their tune is changed. The Mexican war opened their eyes; and now, after admitting their own inability to take Sebastopol, they are reluctantly compelled to admit (as is vir tually done in the above extract) that if they had an army of Americans there, it could be taken ! We thank the London Times for the ad mission. It was doubtless reluctantly drawn from its leading editor, only after a conviction that the Crimean expedition, under its present management, has proved, and will continue to prove, a decided failure. An honest con fession is said to be "good for the soul"—and we have no doubt the • English people will "breathe freer and deeper," now that they are willing to acknowledge, in this public manner, that Americans are no longer to be treated with contempt and indifference. LIQUOR.-OPERATIONS OF THE LIQUOR LAW. -It will be seen by a communication from Mr. Udolpho Wolfe, the proprietor of the "Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps," that the Prohibitory Liquor act, in his view of the case, is not likely to interfere with the sale of that article for medicinal purposes. 'To such purposes he urges now, as he has urged heretofore, that it be exclusively confined. His interpretation of the Ist and 22d sections of the law has strong arguments .in its sup port; and it is quite likely thd no attempt will be made to prevent him from doing busi ness under them. There is much force in his remark that the pernicious effects produced by the use of adulterated liquor, are among . the leading causes which have led to the enactment of the present law ; and although he does not exactly endorse the measure-as it stands, he admits, as all conscientious men admit; that restrictions on the sale of liquor much more stringent than those now in oper ation, were imperatively needed.—New York Daly Times, April 218 t. syir The joint committee appointed to in vestigate the charges of bribery made in the legislature, touching the election for 11. S. Senator, reported on Friday week, exonerating the legislature from the charges, and also the several candidates for Senator, with the excep tion of Dr. JAY re. The report and testimony are quite voluminous. Senators Bnownz and Joanen do not concur with the majority of the committee'in exonerating Gen. CAMERON, and desire the testimony of certain witnesses to be published, without expressing an opin ion as to its bearing. Opinion of an Floneit We clip the following article from the last number of the Lancaster' Examiner, the Whi„g orgau_ of this co: l .mq , -. Mr- Darlington desryes credit for thus plainly and pointedly expressing . ..his disapprobstka of Gov course in making his appointments, and five hop!: he will deal in the same -Way with some of his measures: TEE. GOvEason's AePonvneerrs.—The selection of Mr. Henry Davis as Leather In spector, completes the State appointments of the present executive. We have no know ledge of Mr. Davis's claims or qualifications, 'put an exposure ontained in the Daily News of last Saturday, is not calculated to impress one very highly in hisjaver. It is perhaps as difficult a task is could• be undertaken, to select a score out of the hundreds of applicants for the offices in the gift of the Governor at_each change - of an administration. More or less dissatisfaction will always exist, with or without sufficient cause. We are compelled to say, however, in all candor, that Gov. Pollock has been singu larly unfortunate in has selections to what are considered the lucrative stations. The successful applicants—so far as we know them—are the hangers on of party; camp followers, who hover on the outskirts of every army, not for battle but for booty ; who plunder the dead and butcher the wounded ; desert the unprosperous and betray the daring. The men who have summered and wintered with the Whig party—never sneaking off in adversity, to return only when a prospect of plunder invited them—have not been favored to the extent we had hoped fur. Their ex clusion indicates the adoption of a wrong principle in the distribution of patronage— the neglect of old and tried friends in the hope of making new ones—and acting on a bad principle, in the long run, always proves to be bad policy. We propose to make a brief.examination into the merits of the prominent appointments. The selection for Bark Inspector is Wm. D. Baker, of Philadelphia, a practising law yer, who couldn't have told ground bark from saw dust if his appointment had depended on that much knowledge of matters pertain ing to the office. He is an inveterate office hunter, having, been out for some office at every election that has been held in Philadel phia for the last ten years. Last year he ran twice—in June for City Attorney and in Oc tober for Prothonotary. As it is not often ' that office comes in the way of tanners—while lawyers always have their "platters right side up" when any crumbs of patronage are about to fall—this one would seem to belong of right to the trade, and there are many members who would doubtless have been glad to receive it. The Whiskey Inspector is Doctor John H. Seltzer, of Berks county,—another interlop ing professional man running away with an office which would seem properly to belong to a distiller. The doctor figured at a k. n. State convention, last August, at which he boasted that he had secured the appointment of k. n's on the committee appointed to re ceive Gov. Bigler, on his contemplated visit to Reading. It was arranged that when the Governor arrived, he would fall into the hands of men smiling friendship to his face, but sworn in secret to destroy him—Joab-like in quiring "art thou in health, my brother ?" while their daggers were at his back. To have picked the Governor's pocket would have been a more venial offence, tried in a court of honor, if not in law. The man who could boast of such double-distilled meanness, would better grace a penitentiary cell, than a lucrative office. The excuse advanced by the doctor'sfriends is, that he is only two degrees better than an idiot, and is not to be held ac countable to the ordinary standard by which honorable men are governed. The Flour Inspector is Stephen Miller, of the Harrisburg Telegraph. Mr. M,ller had been twice elected prothonotary of Dauphin county, and had a year of office unexpired, when he was appointed to this station. He was evidently born under a lucky sta.?, as it falls to the lot of few to have two lucrative offices at the same time. He boasts in his paper, that he nominated Gov. Pollock for President, at ten o'clock on the night of the last election. The next morning he announced himself a candidate for flour Inspector ! Not in vain has he learned To crook the pregniint hinges of the knee, That thrift may follow fawning, The Tekiroph 1. a ouidea paper, and fur a year past, has had a sort of mania-apotu insanity, on the subject of Catholics and for eigners:—all sham, of course, for the editor has been compelled to admit that he voted for James Campbell, for the Supreme Court,— and we have always understood that he voted for Gov. Bigler, at the same election. It is the central organ of the k. n's, and very properly so. We know nothing about the other appoint ments, nor shall we inquire. If they . should chance to be of the same sort," our readers will not want to have anything more on the subject. Their Doom Foreseen: The knowing ones at the head of the secret, oath-bound Order of Proscriptionists, ,impu dently styling itself the "American party," are beginning to see the hand-writing on the wall, and read their own doom. Amongst these is the Editor of the American Standard; published at Uniontown, in this State. Un like many of his coadjutors in the dirty and disreputable work of fomenting religious mad ness, and engendering hitter strifes in our hitherto happy country, he takes a common sense view of what must be the end of the whole mitten He frankly and plainly tells the miscalled American party that their day of power is a very short one, and that they had better improve every moment of their time.— In his leader of the 25th ultimo, in a long and able article on the subject of electing a U. S. Senator, he gives his co-workers in iniquity the following pointed and significant pars.- graph : "But it is nottoo . late toremedy the evil and forefend the fate which awaits us, if this ques tion of the United States Senatorship shall be thrust into the next general election. If the American party does not elect its Senator be fore. the 2d Tuesday of October, it will not do it afterwards. If this Legislature do: not elect an American, the next one will elect a Demo crat." Yes, the American Standard virtually tells its party—you have now the Legislature and can elect a Senator, but if you fail to use the, opportunity, your day of grace is past, and the chance is rest forever. You must do the work now, for'your tactics will not again avail you, and you are doomed to an irretrievable defeat at the next election in this State. This is the warning voice of one of their own organs; and betokens a consciousness among themselves of the speedy dissolution of that most disgrace ful party. ..9SASSINS AMONG THE POLICEMEN.—On Tffesday evening, at an election poll in t'ne Fourth Ward, James M'Donough was as h all. ed by two of the Mayor's policemen, ar i d so severely stabbed in the abdomen, that he is not expected to live. His condition is very critical. The policemen, with two o ther per eons who aided them, were arrested yesterday, and committed to prison to await the result of the wound. Bail was refused. The names of the policemen are Hirst and Marshall. The latter inflicted the wound. ser We clip the above from the Pennsyl vanian of Thursday, to show off some of the beauties of Know-Nothing rule in Philadel phia. It has come to a pretty pass indeed when peaceeble citizens, in the enjoyment of their political rights, are to be assailed at the polls by ruffian policemen, and cut with knives until they are left for dead. This interference at the polls has not yet progressed to the same length in Lancaster ; but it has gone a little farther than the law allows it, or than duty requires. Certain of ficials here, "dressed up in a little brief authority," are disposed to tyrannize over their neighbors, and it is about time that they "haul in their horns," or, it may be, the people will teach them a lesson not at all to their liking.

Democrats of '4B, and honest men of all parties, and of no party, listen to the calm voice of an aged patriot? Detroit, March 15, 1855. DEAR Ste :—lt is now more than two years since I have attended a public festival, and the same afflicting circumstances which led me to adopt this course, yet operate to render me indisposed to change tt. Tide, therefore, I thank you and those associated with you, fur the invitation to attend the, celebration of St. Patrick's day on the 17th, I beg leave to be excused for declining its :acceptance. But, thOugh L shall not be 'with you on that interesting occasion, yet I can realize and appreciate the feeling with which you will assemble to recall the glories of the land of your birth or descent, in this land of your hopes and your homes; and to do Winer to the memory of the Apostle of Christianity, who first carried the Gospel of Jesus to the Pagan inhabitants of Ireland. Obeying the injunc tion of the Scriptures, he "added knowledge to virtue," though in these latter _days we are called upon to glory in ignorance, and to found our claims to confidence upon know- ing n.othing. Your illustrious missionary be longed to the great Order of know somethings —to that class of it indeed which knows a great deal, and he deserves the gratitude of mankind fur imparting what he knew to others, instead of endeavoring to "darken counsel by words without knowledge." Honor therefore to one of the benefactors of ,the human race, and let us render it the more freely now, when local and sectarian prejudices are striving to create a distinction among us, as unjust as they are unconstitutional. But we have nothing eventually to fear from error or oppression, while, as Mr. Jederson well said, “reason is left, free to combat it. That free dom is a portion of our heritage and it will triumph over this delusion as it has triumhed over many a one heretofore, and will triumph over many a one hereafter ;. those who have participated in it will awaken to the convic tion that the worth of an American citizen does not depend upon the place of his birth, nor his claim to confidence upon his religious faith, and upon the mode in which he wor ships that God, who is equally the God of the catholic and of the Protestant— who guided and protected our fathers in the days of their troubles and trials and will we humbly hope, guide and protect us and our children whenever troubles and trials shall beset our National path. There I is no danger, it we only appreciate the bles sings we enjoy in a spirit of mutual concilia tion and tbrbearance, and with thankfullness to him who gave them, and may take them away.

Missouri would be called upon to disavow all sympathy with these boider ruffians ; and if she refused, the South would be called updn to discountenance her. If the South refused, the solemn duty would deVolve upon the North to take up the matter, so that the rights of her sons, who have settled in Kansas on the faith of solemn compacts, shall be vindicated and sustained. lle declared that the accounts of the fierce outrages and wild violences perpetrated at the late election in Kansas, as published in the Northern papers, were not exaggerated, and he concluded by saying that Kansas was now a conquered country—conquered by force of arias ; but the citizens were resolved never to yield their rights, and be relied upon the North to aid them by demonstrations of public senti m6t and all other legal means, till they shall be fully and triumphantly vindicated. THE ANTI-LICENSE LAW.—That there may be no dispute in the future, respecting the pa terhity of the recent law enacted to restrain thp consumption of liquor by the gill and to encourage the jug traffic, we now enter on re cord a classification of the votes given in its favor. If there is any credit due, gpod or bad, for the passage of this illy-constructed, mystified, and uncalled fur law, it ought to rest on the right shoulders. The entire vote on its final passage we published in the "4dvertiser" of the 18th inst., and by refer ence thereto it will be found that in the San the vote in its favor stood as follws; ! Senate.—For the Bill. Democrats.—Mesers. Brown, Hamlin, Jamison, Wherry. 4 Traitors to the Democrats.—Mesasre. Platt, Hoge, Quiggle. . . -. 0 Whigs.—Messrs. Darsie and Price. . 2 Know-Nothings.--Messrs. Crabb; Flenniken, Fetzer, Jordan, Lewis, Taggart. 6 (Or, 9 Know-Nothings, 4 Democrats, and 2 Whigs. In the House.—For the Bill. Democrats.—Messrs. Baker, McLean, Thomp son, 3 • Whigs.—Mr. Chamberlain. 1 Know-Nothings.--Messrs. Allegood, Avery, Ball, Boall, Bowman, Caldwell, Clapp, Clover, Cresswell, Cummins, (of Somerset ,) Cummings, (of Philadelphia,) Downing, Eyster, Fearon, Fletcher, Foust, Foster, Guy, (Ginner, Harrison, Hodgson, Holcomb, Hubbs, Kirkpatrick, Krepps, Lane, Laporte, Lathrop, Lees, Lott, McCalmot, McConnell, McCullough, Maddock, Muse, Morri son, Morris, Page, Pennypacker, Powell, Ross, Simpson, Smith, (of Allegheny,) Smith, (of Blair,) St;eel, Stewart, Sturdevant, Waterhouse, Wood and Strong, (Speaker.) 51 Titus we have, in all, GO Know-Nothings, 7 Democrats, and 3 Whigs, in favor of the bill. The above classification is a true one, and Will bear examination. For the political com plexion of members, (excepting Mesb73. Piatt, (-loge and Quiggle, who, apparently, were true Democrats then, and did not throw oil the cloak until the U. S. Senatorship elec tion,) we have taken the vote for officers of the session. principally for Speaker. Mr. Allegood was sick attheopening of the session, but soon when he took his seat, proved himself orthod)x on the goose question. In addition to the above a Know-Nothing Governor signed the bill, which makes it al- Most entirely and exclusively a Know-Nothing measure. We trust they will never disown the child.—Lehanon Advertiser. COMMISSIONER MAN'YPENNY AND GOVERNOR REEDER.—Thb Baltimore American states that Commissioner Manypenny having referred to recent sales'of laud in Kansas, in which it now appears Governor Reeder was concerned, as disreputable attempts of certain official func tionaries to speculate in lands, Governor Reed er replies to the allegation in a tart letter, denying the insinuations of the COMMiS sioner, and in conclusion submitting the fol .. wring proposition: Your report on these contracts makes, is I have shown, fierce charges of fraud. If true, I am a dishonest.man ; if false you are a sland erer. One of us, then, disgraces the office he holds, and it is time to know which is the man. In view of this, I propose t you, Sir, a com- Oact, that if you shall, before the first day of ctober next, make good these charges to the Satisfaction of the President, he shall at once remove me from office; and if you fail, the same penalty shall be meted out, to you. You have sown your gratituous, inexcusable cal- Amny broadcast over the Union, and now I Solicit, I challenge, I defy you to this test.— "•It there is a spark ( f manliness in your com ,position, you will not shrink from it. -• rdesire to goad you to its acceptance. Office, in my estimation, is of little value—reputation is priceless; and my only fear that you will de cline this offer is based upon the cogent evi ; dente that your estimate of these commodities is in an inverse ratio to mine." THE OLDEST POST MASTER IN THE U. STATES.—The Baltimore Sun gives a list of, the oldes Post Masters in the United States, at the head of which stands the name of John Bickel, of Jonestown, Lebanon county, Pa. In a letter to the Post Office Department, he speaks of his appointment as follows : "My father's name was John Bickel, and I was commissioned 'John Bickel, Jr.' My father was in the revolutionary war, and . lived to be eighty-nine years old. He died about nine years ago. I was appointed post master under Jefferson's administration, by Gideon Granger, on the 23d of September, 1802, so that I have held the office fifty three years next September, I am now eighty two years old, and do all my business myself." When rotation in office has become a cardi nal tenet with both parties, it certainly speaks loudly for the man's integrity and capacity, who remains in office over half a century, through every change and under all parties. CATTLE DYING.—St. Louis, April 14, 1855. —ln this State, in Illinois and Kentucky, cat tle, sheep and hogs, have been dy ingduring the last four weeks by hundredsfrom sheer starva tion, and diseases produced by scanty food, and the severe and protracted cold of the past winter. A gentleman from Central and Southern Ill inois, told me last week, that in some neigh borhoods the prairies were almost literally covered with dead ana dying stock. In Ken tucky the scarcity of grain and fodder fur cat tle was still greater, and such Trines ruled the Market that few men could afford to' buy even when loud could be had. THE ANTI-LICENSE law.—The editor of an exchange paper, speaking of the recent anti license law, uses the-following language "The law, for it'is so now, we regard as a mass of confusion—a miserable hotch-potch— a weak and imbecile production of a weak imbecile brain—a,poor attenuated, sickly 'idi otic and feeble-minded child, whose advent into the moral world was a failure, and whose departure from it will be .regarded as &god send and relief to community. , The act, in tead of being entitled "An Act to repeal the License Laws," should have been christened, "An Act to make drunkards by the whole sale;" for, in our opinion, the Legislature of this 'State could not have passed an act better calculated to accomplish such a purpose;" NEW YORK, May 3.—Miss Bunkley an escaped nun from Bnnetsinirg, has applied to the U.

COLUMBIA AND OCTORARO RAILROAD.—The survey of thii road has been rapidly pushed forward, and the final or locating survey is about being commenced.

DOWN WITH THE PRlCES.—Potatoes have seen the top of the ladder; and they must now descend, rundle by rundle, until they shall reach a reasonable price. There has nut only a conspiracy been discovered among Jersey farmers and. others to keep up the price of potatoes in Philadelphia—a conspiracy so, base, we learn, that it was to be investigated by Councils on the 24th; but many ship loads of potatoes from Nova Scotia, and from Ireland, are now on their way to the United States. Some f;Jur thousand bushels have already reached Bo too from Nova Scotia, and many thousand bushels more may be daily expected: These facts must have a telling effect upon prices, and with the fall of po• - tames, breadstuff's, beef, &c., will almost 'certainly follow. The idea that there can be a scarcity in this country under existing circumstances, is simply preposterous.—Gcr -111(17d0W11 Telegraph. DISCHARGED.—WiIIiam Bear who was ar rested in Fulton township about two weeks ago, on suspicion of having caused the death or his fiLther-in-law,-- Lutman, had a hear- ing on Friday, before Alderman Carpenter, andmo evidence appearing to implicate the prisoner in any way with the death of Lot man, the evidence all going to show that he came to his death by accidentally fallingover a precipice and striking his head against a stone, where his body was found. lie was dischar ged from custody. Mr. Patterson, Distric At torney, appeared for the commonwealth ; 0. J. Dickey, for the prisoner. DROWSED.—A man named Miller Keetch, was drowned at Columbia, in the outlet lock, on Friday night! and a boy, name unknown, from Muncy, was drowned at the same place on Saturday night. For the lutelligencer. Mr. Editor have at present, very little time to devote to the history and consideration of my amiable friends the Thugs, •of our place, and its de- lightful preoineta. Ido not, however, intend .to slight them, not I indeed, they shall be occasionally served up, to suit the most fastidicnii palate. A finer lot for public exhibition, it seldom falls to the lot of a man to find,—there, you eee I am in luck, and i would be but an act of the extremest cruelty, not to . be thought of, to allow the people to suffer tor want of fun, where the raw material exista,in such wild: profusion. The long faces, and woe-begone looks, of the 89ss.qie9, consequent upon the result of the late elections in the cities of Pniladelphla and Lan-, caster, awake, I must confess in me, a kind of sym- , pathy for them—such as one feels, for a poor fellow about to be executed. Now I know that they will . _ not appreciate my compassion, as they most un questionably should; but I find consolation in a knowlodge of the fact, that the world is ungrateful —e,onfonndly ungrateful ! Cogitating. thus, I hug myself, in self gratulation, and continue to thins myself, in spite of their opinion, a rather good-heart ed fellow. I have a great mind to write a letter of condolence to the ad nted tribe—but as they might ... doubt my sincerity, you see there might be a ire mendous waste of very pretty sentiment, and so forth.t I think I shall save the material. A good thing, is the fact, that the "ass•qqins" are taking new ground. A short time ago, the most brazen impudence, and audacious swagger, marked their coulee: They had donned. the Lion's skin—it proved too short—and now they would "eke it out with the fez." Unfortunately lot them, the ears of the original animal protrude, "Boca magnis auribus" —at which, Mr. Editor, such mischievous dews as I, find rap fun in pecking. Now don't misunder stand me, and go jumping at the conclusion that defeat- 7 ignominious defeat—has made this rare tribe actually humbled—! No Sir! not by any means ; it is only sham—"playing possum." The "snake is only scotch'd, not killed,' it watches an opportunity to raise its crest ;to spring from its crouching attitude, to exert with more hellish malice its power. • By the way, have you seen an article, in the rest number of Putnam's Magizene ' upon Thug gism ? The writer takes hold of his slimy subject with a muter hand. Every Thug who reads the article will be forced to admit that he is there proven a fool,—and every fool that he ought at once become a Thug. The honest reader will thank God, that he has been preserved from contact with til -1 luny, and take care that even its odor soil not his garments. Our Thugs are still wriggling. That's a good word —so truly applicable to Thuggism—it wriggles ! "Daniel" still finds time—between hair-dresings—to devote the furtherance of Thug rascality—a business for which he is by nature peculiarly fitted. A full history of this little fellow would be interesting, and no doubt command attention. Full of incident and accident, it would, I think, warrant the taking out of a copy-right—but of that, you may be more able to judge when I give you the samples. Daniel came here some years since from the classic precincts of Kensington, where he was known as one of those who "run wid der masheen." Coming here, he dropped some of his habits, disclaimed his relatives, and by the assumption of '.'morality," and high heeled boots, thought to wriggle himself into society He embarked fiercely into the Temperance cause, and exerted for a time considerable influence over some ten or twelve—little boys—from 'six to tan years of age. Ills speeches to them are said to have been remarkable for depth of thought, and highly ornamental' rhetoric—every alternate word having' been a—pun We next find him at his old business —a fireman. He became such in order to have op-, portunities to display his oratory, which he did upon several occasions at the imminent risk of breaking —short off—his vertebral column. This was owing, to a way he has of spitting out his words, with a comical kind of gasp and snap. His next essay at rising, was a bold stroke in the matrimonial line—an attempt to get a wife and—money.. This was de fasted by the discretion of a "Papa," who saw thro'• "Daniel," saved his' daughter from misery, and his money bags from Daniel's rapacity. Down he went to his wax again. He is now , a 'Thug. What pro gress he shall make with them, depends, I think, upon circumstances. He is the "Uriati Heep" of 'the conspiracy. His "umbleness" will in all probability land him where he may be set up as a Second edition of a very interesting penitent. He appears to be extremely fend of aristocratic associations, and in the gratification of this taste is often seen in the "cod fish" circle. His passion for military glory is' is not, quite.so great, as that of our friend, the man who has been hunting "Honor," but there are other traits common to both, which bind them fast friends. Daniel delights in. resorting to the aides - of Thug magistrates, where he is frequently to be found crouched in some sinner, like a toad in the hole,,lis telling, and gathering materials for gossip. Hellas been tolerated by the learned Justices for some, no doubt, very good and sufficient reasons, and the public need be under no very great allphendoe that thell"private business, with such plaoeb will' be printed—though it may be talked - of. Besides, it is necessary, that the History of the world should be complete, and I should like to know how .that can be,'if the minutia of every day life should bei:ne gloated. Daniel will take care of this matter. • : I last week thrown& a question witliregard tOthe fines collected in certain cases, 'for 'violation of;.loil cense and other laws.
