The truths he predicc ea were such as Liet the hearty endor.setnent of the entire de ntin:lacy, and coinmended themselves to the respectfal consideration Of all.. Not so with the speech of Mr. Robison. Many of his warmest Whig. friends were dis appointed and diSsitisfied. and it is frankly ad mitted by many Whigs here that if hoili candi dates had travelled and spoken together, the high priest of Know _Nothingism would have been annihilated, or to use their own words— •`llirouei the Mr. Reilly's speech is conceded by all to have - been one of the — best ever delivered in .

For thu Cumpiler To the Editor of the "Star." EAR SIR :-I have a, few words more to say to you concerning your "Encyclical Letter' l 4 I the 22nd ultimo. addressed to your "Catholic Friends." when I shat! dismiss you. at least for the present, on this important subject. The hope that you received my last in that good will and well intended spirit that perva ' ded the breast of your }nimble servant while - he penned and put forth the same, has given me the assurance of a ddre :sing you •another of 'tl►e same sort :'' while your antecedents ar • sutTicient guarantee that it will meet with a like reception and a simile! fate at your gen ' erous hands. .0" In the cth ¶ of your letter already referred to, and which is the snhject batter of my com munications. among other important and im pertinent revelations and importunities 'you put forth, you caution your Catholic Friends "Of one thin; to be assured, and to take warn ing from the assurance--the deadliest foes they and their church have to deal with, are. those same reckless. unprinciph d political gamblers, who conic to them lordly proclaiming love for them and their religion, and blandly begging their votes." It ivould seem by this that you make no pre tosions or professions of much love for the persons or the religion of those whom you designate and address as your Catholic Friends —and me thinks never did 11,1111 speak ords more truly sincere and n p propos. Dow you could bring to your aid the modesty or ;,"u- _ nee to make this avowal, is truly amazing ; and most be but down as. one of the natural curiosities of the day, and the wonder and ad miration of the age. Before this unexpected edict assumed the form'of a standing, visible and expressed fact, the more sanguine and impetuous ofyour Cath olic Friends held out lustily that you had re cently made loud and repeated professions of love for them and their rel igion, in strode y ar ticles published in the last three numbers of the 6.7ar. And they pretended to prove the truth of this assertion, by the -illustration of the logi cal rule adopted . by Itcqy o'.l lore, in the ex planation - and interpretation of Kathleen's "dhrames"—"by conlltrarieN, nrtrdertr!" This novel suggestion of your —conservative and OCCUSfOR/Cir friends in duced 11 e to lose no time in the institution of an exainination of the - numbers in quesnon - -. and then only did [tie logic and the aptness of Rory's tide appear evident —together 'with the necessity of apply ing-it to your case, in order to inake any'shmi (irsemblance or love on your pa Mr the reli gion of those yon term your "Catholic Friends." And that you may be inure fully convinced and consoled with the truth of these negative and "contrary" proofs of love towards your "Cath olic Friends," pertniCtne to draw your partic ular attention to the articles already hinted at. TO the Star of Bth of last month you favor the public with n synOpsis of the Newark Riot, in %vhich you - compliment your - -Ca Fric_ndsl' of that place with a striking and "conthrary" illustration of the love you bear ibr them and their religion, in the following "bland" man-. tier and style: —According to the Newark papers the celebration passed off pl eas mnly, until near the close of the day, when as the procession was passing the Catholic church, where a large crowd,,o.l Irish Ca Opines NV:IS as- Sent bled, a stone was throw fi.-se"e-erely wound ing It member of one of the Associations.

What a contrast is pre sented between Governor BIGLER nnd JAxtEs 'While the former is before the people - in an address, which - will commend it- self to every intelligent man, for candor and lair dealing, the latter is visiting remote parts of the State, stating one thing in one place and :mother thing in i daerent place. Can it be doubted which will succeed ? Coe. is well known, was taken ill in th e town of Wave r ly, on the N e w York State line, and for sonic dap; his lite was des -paired of. A vigoions constitution, together with the tubst assidionvi care and attention be stowed on him by the people in that section, enah!ed . him to triumph over the disease. Thus prevented from appearing befOre his fel low citizens and telling them fan to face his opinions on all questions concerning their in terests, he was n'evertheless determined, that ,if he should be beaten in this campaign, it should be done with a perfect knowdedge and ' understanding, of his position. This is right. If the people decide against a candidate lot it be done from principle, and not from a misera ble connection with isms which have 11Cilir principle or justice in their composi-ti We are glad Gov. BIGLER has issued this ad dress. hereafter there can lie. no .eavilling about dos-triues, and interested politicians can not misconstrue his language or misrepresent his position.

Look out for any numberofialse reports On the.day of Election, put in circulation by the Whig Know Nothings, or Whigs and Know Nothings, and all calculated to damage the Democratic candidates. They are already at it, but the beauty of the matter is, that their Triiritiors"are so palpably false and ridiculous as to fallof their own weight. Any candid man acquainted with the gentlemen composing the Democratic ticket, must admit that they are all honest; able and meritorious, against whom slander would hurl its shafts in vain. They have all given their word of honor, over their individual sigma mds, that they are sin cerely opposed to, and are• not connected with, the order of -Ki►ow Nothings," "Sons of the Sires of :76.," ' , United Older of the Star Spangled Banner," or by whatsoever other name it may be called. All reports to the contrary are, therefore, idle, and'of no weight. The Whig and Know Nothing leaders having concluded to splice fortunes, are resolved on winning at every hazard ; and fearing, the strength of the Democratic ticket, they are en deavoring to drag it down to their own level. Hence, they hatch all kinds of rumors, 'to suit ditferentlocalities. In one place this, and in another that, is said, the stories .being vastly conflicting, and as foolish as false. But they won't work —the thing has been too often at empted-befol e. The Democratic ticket has the confidence of the people, and is , admitted to be the best in the field. Let voters remember this at the Polls, and pay no attention - to Whig and KIIONY., Nothing "rumors." -4N HONEST EXECUTIVE. Is Governor BIGGER not entitled to the grati tude of the people for the noble stand which he has taken in defence of the purity of legis lation ? The Executive who watches with sleepless vigilance the interests of the people and so shapes his administration as to promote their prosperity and welfare, is entitled to the favorable consideration of the public. Ob jections may be Made to him because he does not coincide in opinion with this clique or that faction, but the people have no favor for such oltjections. What they want is an Executive who discharges his duty as a faithful and honest public servant, should, anti such an one they have in the person of Governor Tinn.En. Dur ing the whole campaign not a word has been said against the present Stae administration, and even the bitterest enemies the Governor has, dare not impeach his honesty or integrity. Why then „should the people desire a change ? They have no such wish, and the second Tues day of October will show how-well they ap preciate his services in their behalf. ri-TWhat•class of men do we find most anx ious to il c f e a t 13ua.Ea and the Dembera tic Ticket ? Whig. and Know Nothing leader's, who are am) itions of hohiiiiz gdfice, and • who have started into life a new order of fanaticism, to catch up unwary Democrats -6(. heir votes fur Pollock, and then laugh at them t their sleeves, to find out how easily they had been duped. Look around you, observant reader, and you will find this no, exaggeration. 07 7- , It was stated in Mir last, than an effort was Leith; made to induce Col..T.lmEs..l4.;NExfx,' the regular Whig candidate fur the Legislature, to withdraw from the field, and thus give the whole Whig- role to the nonzineeV the Know Convenlionfor . lhat - iSiee. If any one had doubted this information, a few hours of sight-seeing about the Square, in this Borough, on illonday last, would haveclearedup all un certainty. The way the Know Nothings beset th e ('olonel, urging him to withdraw, was a caution-:-/Lut he wouldn't decline, and went on electieneei ing as before. 'Mr. ISAAC NEELY requsis. Ds to say , that he fs no longer a earohdate for Sheriff. Not True. It was stated in the city papers,- a few days ago, that on Sa urday, the 3tith ult., a Know Nothing .Mivor was elected in Louisville, by 950 majority—of course by a.:co.mbination of HKnow Nothings and Whigs. It now turns out that no election at all was held in that city, on that day, and that the hoax was started to have an influence on the Pennsylvania election. This is the lowest kind of tiickery, but the pub lic may look for more of it. P,_76ov. I>i(n.lnt has so far recovered as to allow him to ad..lre , ;s his fellow-citizens on the RUMORS, WHO Ig IT ?

LISTEN NOT TO THE TALES. OF THE Many charges and accusations will, no doubt, be trumped up against the candidates of the Democratic party. It has always been. the last resort of the enemy.

Let all who do not wish to be handed over into the opposition, bear in mind, that Know Nothingistu is-onlyan An ti-Mascnic Whig trap, • to catch unsus-,secting Democrats. Tt is true that the above is denied by the Whigs and. Know Nothings' when speaking with Deinti-' crats, but when Anti-Masonry was on the car- ; pct they acted precisely the same"way. They declared that they only opposed the , Masons, and had nothing to do with politics. • Yet in a year or two, the whole Anti-Masonic party was over with the Whigs. So it is intended to be now. They make opposition to foreigners and Catholics the groundwork of their organization. and expect to catch the unwary by this means; but in . 4the end the Whig party is to have the benefit of the 'movement. Mark what we say. The only safe course for all lovers of Democracy and the Constitution is to stand by and vote for the regular candidates of the Dem ocratic party. A Know Nothing Government. Mayor Conrad, of Philadelphia, is claimed to have been elected by the Know Nothings. and his government, so far, it is well known, has been conducted in accordance ?kith their principles. By a fair logical deduction, it may be.said that the government -of Philadelphia is a know Nothing government. Let us see., then, what it is. Already, and the election only took' place in June last, the debt of the city has been enormously increased. The whole debt of the city now amounts to nearly, or about Twenty Ali//funs of dollars, or about one half of the State 'debt of Pennsylvania. Offices of large salaries have been constituted in great numbers. and the greatest extrava gance has taken place,—so much so that the citizens are already becoming weary of consol idation. A writer in the Germantown Tele graph, shows that the taxes have increased nearly 50 per cent., a: fually 48 per cent., within the last year. "By their fruits ye shall know them," and if you judge a Know 'Nothing Government by its fruits, in Philadelphia, what will they be when applied to the government of Pennsylvania. The public debt of Pennsyl vania is about Final' Mir,r.toNs or Dom-tits at this time. and the taxes arc heavy. If it and they would IR-increased in the same ratio, what would they amount to in a short time under a Know Nothing government-? It will be well to make the calculation, and to remetn: Ina that James Pollock is a Know Nothing. State Debt. The proclamation issued by the Governor in relation to the amount appropriated towards the liquidation of -the State debt, shows the _gratifying fact that during the three years of Governor Bigler:s administration, nine hundred and three thousand nine hundred and fifly dol lars and fifteen cents of the State indebtedness has been paid. If we take into consideration the fact that nearly- Four Millions of Dollars of the people's money had to be taken to finish works which were commenced under the Whig administration of Governor Johnston, the amount of debt paid is certainly a strong and convincing proof, that the present State administration is governed by the most rigid economy.

Such was the inscription on a banner carried: by one of the delegations to the -great mass. meeting held. in Inrdependenee square in the city of Philadelphia, onthe evening of the 18th ult. How significant it is of the result of this. political campaign. Fort weeks and months. have the clouds of groom and despondency hung over the Democratic party, and threaten ed a disastrous defeit, but, as the banner said,. -The day is breaking"—the cligadS are being dispelled by the warm and. invigorating rays of the sun, of Democracy, and all now looks well. On the - 17th ult., our gallant Chief . Magistrate, on the northern borders of this. State, was lying pFostrate on a bed or sickness. —wrestling with the power bf death ; and ota the same day he overcame the enemy, and through the interposition of a kind Providence. triumphed. On the 18th ult., a few• bows of the people of. Philadelphia, at a m.eet ing to proclaim attachment to the eerie:lds prin- • ciples of the Constitution, were greetedwith the exclamation, The clay is- breaking 1" Holy true. The Democratic party has been for time wrestling with a disease which,. brought on by the disaffection of a fewwho sumed to be ,its guardians, threatened. death, yet it will triumph, nay it has, if we may judg i p.- from the signs of the times, triumphed, an& once more is "the day breaking." Then, with this cheering reffection,iet all go to work, and give one more pull for the good cause of Democracy. The enemy has ex hausted its power, and a sound and vigorous constitution will triumph over diseaSe., Shoul der to shoulder, let us all stand, like a band of brothers, and contend for that which is right. In after days we shall look upon our efforts now as worthy of citizens of a free republic. 1: - "Governor BIGLKII. has .administered the - public affairs of this State faithfully and well..
