We have seen Know Nothings protesting their devotion to the ChM' stitntion, and, at the moment of this writing, the rajority, thrown by a mistaken imptrlse into the popular brine!) of Congress,' is sub divided into cliques, -gull under different leader, and all because no sufficient number 'can be brought together on constitutional principles to organize that body. MOlMOille the Democracy s tand calmly arid firmly by their stainhird, and behold the omens of coming triumph in these unconscious testi monials to the principles inscribed upon their banner. Who, in ,t he ,anti • Demoera tic opposi• tion: Would have supposed that such a spec tacle Would have been presented, after the alto. cessiVe advantages achieved by the northern fusion? While Oreeley and his crew were as sailing the National Democracy for their stead fast adherence to national principles, they lit tle thought the time was so near at h and when that Democracy would prove potent enough to put its adversaries to shame by the force of the very 'national principles so derided and de holineed• Even those who claim to have been sound on those principles when they united themselves with the Midnight Order, were not prepared to be balled so speedily to an ac count, and .to find. when the hour arrived which they had anticipated as the fruition of nil their hopes, tlnt they could make no min-. bination4ithout 'yielding to the force of the Democratic example. The great ttutli appa rent in all these demonstrations is. that no par ty of men can permanently maintain an organi zation in this, eountry . unless they are united "by a common and a ilia! creed. Every real compromise must be based upon' this senti ment. Thuslfasititi way - maintain itself for the btief period of a popular election; but W hen ever that fusion wanes to execute the trusts confided to it, by the people, it inevititbly halls to pieces, unless those ;On compuse it not to gether upon coed principles.' A remarkable instance of this was presented of the tendency of the opposition to yield to expediency :when they placed Jolts Twin in nomination -for the vice presidency in 1640. He-agreed with them In opposition to Mr. Vitze Beaux, and this was the idea which induced ,them to confer upon him the nomination : but .they forgot he differcd from them in referenee to great truths, and accordingly, when the time came that was to test his identity with them upon .pernianent questions, they were confounded at the fact that ho had not aban doned his devotion to the Constitution. and the . result was' their speedy disorganization and defeat.

But it seems as if the enemies of the Democratic party would never profit by the lessons of experience. Even while they arc admitting the strength of the national principle. and conscious that this principle is certain to triumph in the election of 1856, they are strug gling to keep up to their fusion of expediency, and presenting the spectacle to the country of a majority in Congresi trying to legislate upon the gravest questions , of public policy by ignor [C7'insel Phelps, Democrat.

We notice, rays the Pennsylvanian, that a large number of our Democratic exchange pa pers have either hoisted the name of JAMES I3ccuAN-AN at Cieir head, fir the Presidency,"or expiessed their preference for him in very de cided terms. Among them, we ~ find the Waynesburg Messenger, the Westmoreland Dot mocrat, the Jersey, Shore News Letter, the Reading, Gazette, the Washington, Pa.. Exam iner, the Erie Observer, the Tuscarora Register and Juniat% Inquirer, the Clarion Democrat, the Montrose Densoorat,_the Democratic Sena lie!, Ebensburg, the Brookville Jeffersonian, the Pittsburgh Past . , the Norristown Register, the Star of , the Noah, arid many others. Rut this marked preference is not confined to Pennsylvania. We find the same feeling iu the Weat and South also, The St. Louis correspondent or the Lancaster Intelligence' . and Laneasterian says: "The glorious old West is begiunitw„ to show its prefelence for the next Presidential candi date, and that preference .seems to be "Penn sylvania's Favorite Son." as every day be is growing in public favor, if we may judge from the signs al the times.

BILLS.—The Baltimore Sun of Wednesday last says : Several $2O notes, purporting to be on the Bank of Gettysburg, Pa., have been pub in circulation in this city, wilbitro a few days. On Monday evening a stranger called at the office of Dr. Prentiss, on the corner of Biddle and Monument streets, and made a purchase. of seine niedicine, and in payment tendered a twenty dollar note ors the "Bank- of Gettys burg." The Doctor, wi'hout suspecting any thing wrong, or even examining it very closely, stepped out to• make change, and happened to I meet with Mr. Toltn: Zell„formerly an efficient I officer, to w horn he exhibited-It. • Mr. Zell im ,. Vnediately pronounced it to be spurious, and accompanied the doctor back to his office, where the stranger was in waiting. .In. reply to a question he stated that he resided. in Pop pleton street, and that his name was "John Smith" alias Clarke. As Mr.. Zell had no• doubt of the note being a spuri-ous one he took the said "Jan Smith" into custody, and he. was committed to jail, to• await a• further ex mininution, by Justice Hayward: Three or• 1 four individuals who had taken similar bills, -within-a day or two,-made-known their losses yesterday, and there are probably other suffer ars—Me p guard. The bills have no dou-bb been. altered. from those of some broken or other bank, by inserting the Ni ords "Bank of Gettysburg," rather clumsily,. as the plate appears to be well finished. The Barn of Mr. J. WATSON BAR, in Mount joy township, was detroyed by fire; with nearly all its contents, on We.duesday last, about noon. Mr. Bar and his hired help were away from home hauling lime, and there being, no men about the premises, but little was saved. Some 1400 bushels of corn, with a large quantity of other grain, was lost. There was no live stock in the building at the time, which was fortunate. No inmirance. It is not known how the fire•originated ; but some suppose that it was the work of a careless straggler who passed there smoking a pipe shortly before. - Such a luxuriant covering of the richest green, as now beautifies the greater part of the grain fields, has been, seldom, if ever seen at. this perioil of tho year. The remarkably ''growing full," has even brought forward those fields Tuit in unusually late, owing to de lays occasioned by the excessive amount of lain, in such a manner as to enable the young grain to stand the severity of the winter. 142.683 135.683 107,400 41403 r — r The "Cosmopolitan Art Association" offers for distribution a large collection of rare works oftitcrature and Art.
