Democratic Ticket.
We have raised the names of the candidates
nominated by the 4th of March Democratic
State Convention to our mast head, and, shall,
hereafter. say something in regard to the mer
its and fitness of each. We should do so now,
- but that we are prevented by want of room,
our columns- being crowded -by the doings of
the Convention. We may say, however, that
the ticket is well received by all lovers of
a wise and ecianoinicat government, and will
triumph handsomely. •
The Convention was one of the most able
and respectable we ever saw assembled at Har
risburg, and good feeling prevailed throughout.
The resolutions, prepared and Offared by that
unflinching Democrat, lion. JNO. L. DAwsoN,
of Fayette, contain true doctrines, such as
must and will he sustained by a Constitution
loving people._ Read the prodeedings. - •

A telegraphic dispatch, dated Baltimore,
March 3, says :

increase in the duty on imports, endorses the
whole Baltimore ) platform, recommends the
Cincinnati Coniention to nominate the candi
date most likely to be elected, denounces the
views and purposes of the American Order,
and endorses the present National Adminis
tration."
The delegates, although uninstructed, are
said to be in favor of Mr. Buchanan.

election in -Hollidnysburg—held on -the-15t

icans were completely routed. The Democrats
and old•line higs elected all the officers
save one, and that, one. barely slipped in by
two majority. Know Nothingism in old Hol

elected by 400 majority; The council stands
four Republicans to five Democrats.
ROCHESTER, Mardi! 4.—At our charter elec

elected Mayor by 2,18 G majority. Mr. An

- "'Know Nothinpstu is not a whit better
now than it was the day Ned Buntline first
gave it existence in some dark cellar in New
York. At thit time it depended' upon false
hood and deception for success, and they are its
main stay still. Sworn as its members are to
the business, and constituting the class of poli
ticians they do, reformation is not.soon to be
expected, if ever.
They tell us that their dark lantern move
ments are abolished. We do not believe a
word of the declaration, if it is intended to apply
equally to the managing, or third degree mem
bers. That they have held several meetings
in, this Borough within the last two weeks
there are good reasons to believe. The testi
mony is infinitely more reliable than the re
peated and apparently candid denials of these
self-constituted managers. We take it that
they Were caught—and so will the reader, when
informed that considerable numbers of them
were seen congregating, in a quiet way, at two
different places, on two different nights, under
aspects c iactly resembling tht;ir original dark
lantern movements. Such are the facts as we
have received them from a truthful quarter,
and the rumors on the street in reference to
the firing of a borough ticket at such caucuses
certainly do not tend to invalidate them.
We say to our friends in town and country
—to all opposed to the trickery of Know
Nothing politicians—he on your guard ! That
they have laid traps to deceive the honest and
unsuspecting at the spring elections there is
every reason to conjecture, nay believe—and
hencc_the necessity for caution. Settle good
tickets, bring out a fair tote. and thus disap
point the dark lantern tricksters.

ore difficult problem has taken its place
a t...ts_Antericanismlr _ i_strange
s the Washington Union, that. in ti coun-
where all are Americans, no one can be
found we can tell "who is an American."—
Every locality has its peculiar notions on the
subject, and when the vailous conflicting'opin
ions are compared, they are found to be almost
as numerous as the States of the Union.
Three national councils have been held by
delegates, all of whom claimed to understand.
the subject thoroughly: but on each occasion,
when they came to compare notes. each man
had cause to doubt his own identity as an
American, or to regard his brother delegates
as impostors.
The two first councils were acknowledged
failures, leaving the question as unsettled as
before. The delegates to the last council Were
so eager to have this matter settled satisfactori
ly that they anticipated their regular day of
meeting. and spent four days in a most labori
ous effort to - ascertain who they were and what
they were ; in other words, who were "Ameri
cans" and what was ‘ , ‘Americanism." The
result was an abrogation and - repudiation of all
their former - charts and fooleries- and tomfoole
ries, and the adoption of fifteen new planks as
the true tests of "Americanism," and conse
quently it is now to be understood that who
ever can stand on all these planks is a genuine
Simon-Pure "American :" "Provided, neverthe
less, (in the language of the 14th plank.) That
a majority of those members present at any
meeting of a local council when" an applicant
applies for membership in theArbericah party.
may, for any reason by them deemed sufficient,
deny admission to such applicant."
It would. look, from- this, like the question
was still open, and, after all, that it is to de
pend upon' the vote of a majority of each local
council "who are Americans." This is bring
ing the privilege of "Americanism" to a new
and a'strange test. A native-born citizen, de
voted to the constitution, scarred all over with
wounds in defence of his country, prepare'd to
subscribe to the fifteen articles of the last creed.
may be told that he cannot be an "American"
unless five out of nine of his neighbors who
constitute the majority of the council present,
no one of whom ever aspired higher in the ser - -
vice of his country than to claim a lion's share
of the spoils and to distinguish hiutself in de-
seif, shall consent that be may enjoy the privi
leges of "Itinericanisna" and bear the name of
an "American."
It will be observed that the applicant may
"openly avow the opinions and principles"
laid down in the platform and may "subscriUe
his name"_ to it, but this council of inquisitors
has the right, “for any reason by Them deemed
sufficient," to exclude him froni*the party.
If the majority of the council present happen
to have prejudices against long noses, or red
heads, or large feet, no long-nosed, red-haired,
arge - - - footed man can an "American.
If the majority happen to have. special nse
for all the spoils within their locality, and de
sire no competitors from without, they can
readily exclude every dangerous applicant as a
barbarian not fit to be an “American."
. If the majority happen to -be men having no
special sympathy with honesty, they may shut
the. door.against an honest applicant, and 'de
cide him unworthy, on account of_his honesty,
to be an "American.'.'
On the other hand, the majority at the next
meeting may be on the other side of the several
questions indicated, and they may exclude all
snub-nosed, black-haired, small-footed appli
cants; and so on, reversing the test of "Ameri
canism" at each successive meeting, according
to the accidental whims, caprices, or prejudices
of the majority present And let it not be for
-1 gotten that every "locl council" throughout
.nion is vested with this singular power
Ordetermining who shall and who shall not be
Americans. We apprehend that the last na
tional council has proved as complete a failure
as its predeces . sors in their effort to define
Americanism, and to determine who are
Americans.
FILLMORE A KNOW NOTIIINO.—In the New

art----ever an opponent and reviler of "Old
llmkory"--"where would Gen. Jackson be, if
alive. In the present contest ?" The repliof
Donelson, of course, was, "With the American
(Know-Nothing) party"! A base slander.
But the assertion of Gen. Wean, that Major ,
Donelson had been the adviser of Gen. Jack- I
sonAuri - nwtilradministration, calls for an ex-
planation. If he means thereby, - that any of
the measures which distinguished the adminis
tration of the old patriot. hero and statesman,
were proposed by Donelson, we must be al
lowed
to deny the statement ; because the only
case publicly known, in which he dared to in;
terfere with the General's judgment and ac
tion,
is recorded by John U. fives, Esq., as
.fulloWs
The message of President Jackson, which
referred to the French Indemnity, was softened
in its language by Donelson and others, who
wanted the nerve and judgment of the Presi
dent. Mr. Rives brought it back in print, and
it was read to the General. "Stop, Donelson,"
said Jackson ; "That is not as I put it ; how
is this ?" -Why, General," replied Donelson;
in 1,11 eatconfusion ; "the Cabinet had a meet- ,
ing, and thought' ihe language was a little too
strong, and they concluded to soften it a little.,"
"I don't care fur the Cabinet," rejoined the
Piesident ; "this is my message—not theirs ;"
and turning to Mr. Rives, observed—" Please
restore the original language." This was
done, and the event justified the sagacity of
the old stateman. France paid the money.
The war that was to be, ended in 'smoke.
This incident shows what reliance Gem Jack
son placed upon Donelson's advice, and how !
fat' he was accustomed to 'follow it. As to the . l
General being'in the Know-Nothing ranks, if
alive, there is not a true friend of his, in the
United States, that believes the foul slander.
The Know -Nothing candidate for the. Vice
Presidency is -NOT the ado tea son of Old
Hickory. let Know Nothings falsify about it as
they will. • The adopted son of Gimeral Jack
son bears his own name, and now occupies the
Hermitage. This is the truth, as we can
rit.o—but the dark lanterniteS will ,not ac
knowledge the fact as long as they can help it,
their game being an unblushing systetdof lying
and deception.
