Congressional orator brought the grdates - t dis

Be - spoke simply of

paid the usual sad tribute of whig croakers -to
the poor !-LVehraslerr irviquily"—and ,avowed
his detertnination, if elected, to vote fur their
repeal.
En beautiful Contrast with this was the re
ception and speecifes of WiesoN ESQ.
Everywhere upon 4,he way he was greeted with
cordial approbation by the People, and 06 :Mon

Tuesday morning it was determined 'that he
should be heard in Bedford in the evening. and
withotat resorting, to the assistance of out riders,
or flaming handbills for a week, the -Court

was a proud everting fur Wilson Reilly.
Tho Ugh not personally known to the people of
the county, his reputation had gone heave him
and all were anxious to hear. Ills appearance

which, at intervals, continued throughout the
evening. Lris speech:.of more than an hour's
length, was thorough and complete —abounding
in argument and glowing with vlognence, and

to convince the judgment and persuade the --
-heart. The truths he predicc ea were such as
Liet the hearty endor.setnent of the entire de

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 . Betßird, and has been
effective in drawing more closely around hint
admirers and numerous fri - ends.
The Democracy of Bedfiad will do their
whole ditty—the watchmen are awake upon

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. Al
the ,w.tme time &Tent! ahols were fi* irons the
church"
We would attach but little blame to this
version of the affair as given to the public
through your columns at the time, had you had
the manliness afterwatds. when the bile facts
of the - ca - se were leWilly and fully established,
to contradict the impression that your hasty
and one sided and bigotted remit' ks were well
calculated it' not intended to make on the pilb
lie mind, to the detriment — Of your Catholic
F r i en l i . Wh en it cons folly proven that no
"shots were tired from the church," an d that
the assaulting and riddling of the sank was
done without the slightest provocation. that
was your time to show yourself the friend; not
only of the Catholic, btu of truth. of justice
ail of charity. But dun, alas. your mouth
was closed oh he subject and now. von are
in
. .our appeals to your Catholic
Friends- ti consider those their enemies who
pro;ess to be their friends.—llere

In your next you refl.r to the letter of your
"Catholic Friend." Bronns4.n. in a most, sus

Governor Bigler's Address.
Let every Voter in the- Cornmonweillth rend
theArtily, excellent and candid address-of Gov
fina.Ett to the people of Pennsylvania, which
we issue in the shape of an extra. It is truly
a gratifying fact for the Democratic party to
know, that they haven candidate for Governor
who has moral honesty unougl(to declare to
the people his opinions on the - s - uhjects touch
ing their interests. 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. The address is a plain gtraight
fi)rivard document, which is easily understood
and comprehended. We commend it to public
attention.

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.

to withdraw from the field, and thus give the

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

caution-:-/Lut he wouldn't decline, and went on

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.

that the above is denied by the Whigs and.
Know Nothings' when speaking with Deinti-'

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.

. -"THE DAY IS BREAKING."
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.
