a so•called "liberal policy" could allow, should
serve to warn us'of the danger to which we
are exposed. The imitation of their example
will inevitably lead us to the same evil results,
be it sooner or later. But the action of the

ing, for its own safety, and for the protection
of the people. and which Democratic Clover•

be abandoned by the present Administration—

people of Pennsylvania will be fated to learn
a hitter lesson of tho fully of seeking a change

a fair proportion of old-line Whigs were upon

over again the battle between open organiza
tion and midnight conclaves? "Their, 'organi
zation is broken—their threes scattered—they
cannot make a successful rally. Yet the desti
nies of Pennsylvania, for yearit, may hang von
their decision. If they unite their forces with
the Democracy. Know•Nothingismwill be
swept out of existence—for if once defeated, the
discordant elements of which it is composed
will be scattered, and can never again re-unite.
If they form a distinct Whig ticket, free from
all taint of the order, and adhere to it faithful
ly, possibly the same result may be aocom
plished. Here are two courses, either of which
they may honorably pursne.—There is yet
another course—a dark and dismal path, be
set with plague and-leprosy and nil manner of
uncleanliness, where evil birds croak hoarsely,
and venomous reptiles coil themselves 44 id hiss
out their fetid and poisonous breath—this-path,
from which • honest men should shrink with
horror, lends to the secret dens of the Know-
Nothings, where men pretending to be just
and upright Americans and friends of freedom, I
swear in the name of the most high God, to
practice falsehood and deceit. for the purpose
of carrying out successfully their nefarious de-'
signs against the constitutional rights and lib
erties'of this r eopte. This path is open to the
Whigs—they may tread it if they please—they
may embrace the foul and ugly witch—they
may hug to their bosoms the "secret, black
and midnight hag," in the vain hope that sonic
of the crumbs that Nil from her table will he,
allotted to thent = tliey may prolong, her reign,
and, in the tree spirit of Vandalism, aid her
in defacing and, proslrating the beautiful tem
ples erected to freedom by the fathers of the
republic—they may do all this. and more if
they choose—yet amid the darkness and de
vastation t,urrounding IWO), there at ill still
be found a compact, unterrilied pha4anx of no

One, t
Keeping in view the heretofore decided Whig
character of the county, the Democrats have
abundant reason_ to be gratified with the re
sult, take it all in all. The Know Nothings
would have the public to brlieve that they are
elated with it, but in reality they are not.
They expected to do vastly better. Democrats
are not so gullible as they anticipated, how
ever. The Democratic townships remain true
to their ancient faith.

enough of both. The Legislature has_ been in'
session more than two months, and only one•

is wasted in. useless adjournments, in or tier to
enable members to travel off to other places on'

; nest postniasters must place postage stamps
upon all prepaid letters upon which sirch stamps
may not have been placed by the writers, or
which may not be enclosed in stamped vire
' lopes.
; From and after the Ist of .9pril, 1855. the
postage to he charged an each single letter for
any distance in the United States not exceed
ing
3,000 miles is three cents.
