Wilmot, Millward, and Lewis, have en listed no enthusiasm 'on the part of the peo ple. On the contrary, their principles are held in abhorrence by a vast majority of the voters of Pennsylvania, and from present ap pearances, We should not be surprised if the Democratic State ticket succeeds by at least fifty thousand majority. The honest yeoman ry of the old Keystone have always been as averse to Abolitionism, , a. 9 they have been loyal to the Constitution and the Union. They are slow to follow after strange gods, and prefer traveling in the goe old fashion;. ed Democratic path marked out for them by their revolutionary ancestors. They' may have occasionally erred in other respects—but never when the question•of union or.disunion —the integrity of the Constitution or its de stroctien, was in issue. • In all this they have been trite as tlie - needle to the pole, nei ther looking to the right or to the left, but pressing forward with steady step, and flag, flying, to the music of the Union. Xor_ar they alone (remarks the Lancaster Interne:en eer) in their devotion to our glorious institu tions. , There are thousandS of patriotic men in the Commonwealth, heretofore known as members of the Whig party, who will cheer fully and gallantly act with theni when such inimense issues are 'involved. Many men were with us in the late Presidential contest, and many more will join the Democratic col umn, for the purpose of assisting to crush out the fell fiends of Abolitionism and Know Not) i ngi sm, no* that the -ringleader -in tin. work of mischief and disunion is in the field seeking for Gubernatorial honors. • We anticipate for Gen. Packer, our noble standard bearer, tn easy and triumphant vic tory over his competitoi.. All the sfiphistry and special pleading of Wilmot, whether on or off the stump, will avail him but little, when he comes to encounter the giant blows of his sturdy Democratic antagonist. The doom of Black Itepublicunis►n and Know Nothingism is already sealed; the hand wri ting is on the wall ; and the second Tuesday of October next will effectually and forever settle its conde . mnation at the ballot-box.

The billing and cooing that has been going on for some time between the Ahrodm and patches of the opposition materials. in the Northern and. Elistiirn "States, indicates a 'union between the Black Republicans awl Know Nothings—the basis of which will he the dissenting opinions of Justices McLean and Curtis in the Dred Scutt case. The Bos ton Courier, formerly one' of - the most bit ter opponents of the Black Republican par ty, edges up to them in the following style: The great mistake inade• by the Republi cans and the chief cause of their defeat, v; their want of moderation. They went„ too far; they demanded too much ; they alarmed the timid and outdo the judicious pause. 14 order to bring up the popular mind to the electioneering heat:a strain of reckless decla mation was indulged in, which produced its, natural reaction . muting men who represent the reason of the country aft Opposed to its passionS. This judgmen-, of -Judge Curtis' embodies those sound constitutional ant-sla very doctrines which are consistent with a national patriotism ; it omits nothing and oh trunks nothing ; it fortifies every point by a p.)werful array of historical prooland legal reasoning; there is nothing to be added tour taken away front it. Upon the ground of this opinion the whole anti-slavery sentiment of the North may firmly plant itself. And if so it will be sure to prevail in the long run.— But if it - goes further, and insists on more, it will hull in the future as it has in °the past.

PEOPLE 02/PENNSYLVANIA, COME TO THE RESCUE! A bill is now befbre the House of Repre sentatives for the sale of the Main Line of the Public Works, which is drawn so unfairly and nrjustly against the interests of the Com monwealth, and the passage of which would inflict so lasting a blow at the prosperity of our State, that we felt ouipelled to issue au extra, on Saturday, culling public attention to it. This bill proposes to sell the Main Line for $7,500,000, or, if the Pennsylvania Railroad Company becothen the purchaser, the price is to be $9,000,000, and for this consideration the State is to relinquish the tonnage tax, and the ,tax on corporation stocks, now paid by the Pennsylvania Central and Ilarrisburg and Lancaster railroad companies. Mortgage bonds are to be given for the amount at which the line i mold, bearing five per mania inter. est ; one-t 7th of which is to fall dne in Ivo, and the cinder in ten equal pay ments aft r that time. All the rolling stock, land, build ingmovater power, etc.,now owned by the State, are tit lie transferred to the compa nypurchasing. Such are the prominent pro= visions of this bill. Let us now consider how it will affect the interests of the Common wealth. In the first place, then, the State derives no *Befit from the sale of this line for a period of thirtythree years, save the interest of five per vent. on the purchase money. For this she relinquishes the profits to be derived from these works, 'which, last year, amounted to $302,590 42 The tonnage tax on •the Harris burg and Lancaster and Penn sylvania Central railroads a mounting, last year, to 249,021 42 And the tux on the stock of the two Companies, estimated 100.000 00 Making a total of '5741,618 84 Awl in return she will receive in • -the shape of interest annually $450,000 00 Showing a yearly loss of $291,617 84 In this calculation, which is made from offi cial records, we do not take into considera tion the yearly increase in value of the ton nage tax. which would undoubtedly make the Loss to the State much greater. This minual loss to the treasury of $291,617 84 of re\ tome would, in thirty-three years, amount, without Calculating the intercst,tos9,623,3BB 72: more than the purchasers are required to pay for the Main Lino. The State is, therefore, ask ed, by the" friends of this _bill, to sarrifice these works to company, and rob her treas ury to unable that company to,pay fiir them. It would bettor for the State to give the Main Line away,. and retain th e tonnage tax, than sell it under the- provisions of this, bill. Another outrageous feature of 'this bill is contained ion the banal section, which pro vides that, if other parties than the Pennsyl vania rivartiad company purchase it, such pun -ehaSers Shall within ten days to - t - he Givernor. for the use of the Cianhionwertlth, bonds of the 'State of l'ininsylvania,-'or the city of Philadelphia, to the ammint of $3,- 000,000, or in lieu thereof, a like :maim of mortgage bonds of duo 2ennsylvania Railroad coat rosy ; and meat of the pri , keipai of such purchase Money shall lie made in certifi cates of 101111 of the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania at par or in cash, and of the in terest 111 (Nish semi-annually." The meaning of this section, in plain English, is that 110 party, save the Pelllisylvania Railroad Com pany, shall be permitted to buy the Main Line under this bill. -Can our Legislature consummate such an - outrage - as this'.' halve thus hastily referred to some of 'the provisions of the hill. : There are many other. objectionable features in it, which, did our sp tee permit, we would expose to tfie public, but we think we have said etningh to convince every reasonable man that the bill is all we have characterized it, mid should, under no contingency, become a law. We do not look u'pon this as 5, party (loos tion„ When the interests of our Common wealth are attacked, it is Lie duty of men of all parties to defend • her, am! there is patriotism and honor enough among 'the suns of Pennsylvania to reward her faithful servants and pueistt her traitorous enemies.— It , rrisqolro l' , ll riot.

'We annex the apportionment bill as it pass ed the Senate on .londay, supported by the vote of but a solitary - Democratic Senator. It is unfair throughout, and may be truly char acterized, one of the most unprincipled- gerry• manders ever attempted. Why the venerable Senator from Alleg,lleny voted liar it, is more than we can imagine ; but we consider it a great mistake on hi...! part, and trust that no Democrat in the House may commit a similar error. According to the arrangement of the hill there is no thane° at all left to the De• itineracy, in either House, without counting very largely upon Philadelphia, a thing which, under ordinary circumstances, it is unsafe to do. In the Senate we cannot see how, in any event, the Democrats can, under the bill, elect more than fifteen members— with a very smart chance 'of getting only herb?. It makes the Senate hopelessly oppo sition by annexing, in districts, such comities as Dauphin and Cumberland, Washington and Beat er, Westmoreland and Indiana, and others equally unfair, and cutting down the representation wherever it can be done against the Democracy. In the house the ease is no Letter—the toivantages are all decidedly and unnaturally against us. It is needless to say more. We have now—or ought to have—a DeMocratic majority in the House, and we invoke them to let no bill pass which "does' not do at least simple justice to our party.

EDITOR : I perceive by the last Star that its usually affable, amiable and polite editor has worked himself into another fit of passion and "politico-religious" frenzy, in consequence of the fact that an unruly boy had actually taken french leave of his "Alma Mater," of Mount St. Mary's, and taken up holgings with ex-sheriff Benjamin, of the "Junction House." ---- It is a thousand pities that these little boyish freaks now and then occur, because, simple — as they are, they are well calculated to stir up the religious rancor of the at other times calm and conservative editor of the Star. Ever since the defeat of Mr. Wilson in 1854, Mr. Buehler has been billow: on any subject that calls in question Catholics, or that per tAins to their religion or creed. •At the time already mentioned, this Mr. Editor endeavor ed to perform what had previously been con sidered as impossible and preposterous—that is, of traversing at one and the same time two 'opposite points of the compass,—and,of course, failed in the attempt, and thereby exposed his hypocrisy and 1:911y. This unfortunate and unsuccessful effort naturally placed him in a ridiculous and un enviable position, to cover which, and to re trieve the' past, he seems to have considered it necessary to change his ground, and to con vert his former neutral iburnal into a sort of a "Clipper," to feed and be fed by the bigoted and illiberal portion of mankind, that can he found in all parties and creeds. By this change of sail ho no doubt expected to, repair the losses which resulted from the hetrayel of Col. Neely and his friends, by ef fectually appealiny to the religious passions of as many belonging to the Democratic party. to this end no fanatic history, however pro fane and intolerant, was left unnoticed and undisturbed; while the most unnatural, and absurd stories, reflecting on the character of Catholic pen, women anti children, were pro iscuousl)t recalled mid reverted to, with as much zeal . and apparent solemnity, as if they wore so many Gospel truths, :La . ,' charitable and neee. , csary revelations. All this having failed to extricate him from the' dilemma,' in which his rashness and byThicrisy had placed him. he now seems to grow desperate, and considers every lsaly and every - thing Jesuit, that ibies trot conform to. the word and work of Know Nuthingistn.— Ile sotheth»es cannot even record the per formance of a simple corporal work of mercy, such as is placed to the everlasting credit of the good Stunaritaa, without prefacing the same wars gratuitous oilmen calculated to d a mpen - or obscure the merits of the giver ur recipient, of the most divine favors. A loss of patronace, and the change of the. moldy, may perhaps, have something to do _with his- late-course,- and while;-his-recitingS awl revelations continue to be responded to by the sober second thinking people of the coun ty, as they have been at, the late elections, so i on:!: I suppose we must "grin and bear" them in patience and in peace.

Fee the Complier Some of the papers have published an ac count of a young' woman's running away from the Convent School r at Nazareth, Kv. She herself, or somebody for her, published a long rigmarole of a letter in the newspapers, charging the nuns with interfering with her religiun, persecuting her, and preventing her from having access to or writing to her friends. She speaks in her letter of "the corruptions" which only the great day will reveal, or something to that effect. This let ter was published in some of our St. Louis papers. Everybody . "rho knows anything of Con vent-Schools in this country, formed a judg ment of this young person at the moment of reading her letter, and, set her down as no better than she should be, only wondering how she ever gotin the Convent. A gentle. man of this city has received the following letter on the subject : "Dear Friend:—Your short note has just come to hand, and iu compliance With vont. request I send you an account of the "Naza reth affair," published in the Bardstown 'Gazette. You can judge for yourself us to the character of the case. I have it from a gen tleman (a reliable man) who lives at Mt. Washington, that she is anything but a proper young lady. She has-now been living with Mr. Hall, the tavern-keeper of the place, for about one month or more, and he is very anxi ous to get her off his hands, but no person has vet arrived who claims any knowledge of her. Moreover Mr. Hall himself has seen his error in so readily acting as. her guardian in the case ; fur, he will not even allow his daughter to associate with : and the girls of the vil lage shun her. This gentleman also states, that she seems to be very intimate with the stage drivers who stop at the tavern. ,As to the letter, purported to have been written by her, it is 3s fabrication of some male genius of the Know Nothing school of which Mt. Wash ington has several, who stand pre-eminent in worrying their empty heads with something to strike terror into the poor Catholics and foreigners. But the letters of the Mother Superior and of the girls of the Academy, are sufficient to show what the nature of the case is." The Banistown Gazette contains, however, =eh fuller particulars, comprising a letter from the Superior, and one from the Protes tant young ladies of the school, touching the history and character of Miss Miller. The letter of the Protestant young ladies of the school is too long for insertion entire:— They seem very indignant at-the-insinuations of Miss Mary Miller, whom they plainly inti mate to be an ignoramus, a liar, and a vul garian. It is rather a school-girlishletter, but hatter evidence for that : • • - "Not wishing to be prolix. ice will refer on ly as far back asJanuary 17th, 18313, at which time Mary E. B. Miller became a pupil at Nazareth. It was remarked at the time, by the youngladies who are prone_to_t • •, comments ; that her wardrobe was scantily supplied, though we hear ; since she left -of a , splendid assortment of &c., that has been retained herb : Sfe entered' the least advanced classes. wiiere she if-email:it:- ed, and 'Was ever noted fbr her -indolence and unholy-like bearing, to u•Le the mildest ex•: - pressimt. From the stium her brother left Nazareth, the faculty of this Distitution were unable to obtain the least reliable information of him or any one else whom she claimed to be her relative, although inquiries were fre quently made to that effect, as the Sisters as well as the girls were anxious to have her removed from . the school. Far from her let ters being intercepted. as she states. it IV4IB desired that they-should reach, their destina tion, in hopes that some clue to 'her friends might be proeured. - In the regulations of Nazareth we find no rule prohibiting unrestrained correspondence between the young ludic-; and their relatives; on the contrary, each pupil is required to srite every two weeks to some member of her NM ly, and we unhesitatingly pronounce the ftd lowing assertion of Mary E. B. Miller to be unfounde I in truth: "Their regulations are such that no letter written by Me could in form my friends of my condition." _ . . I We are ignorant of the instructions left by !, her brother relative to what religion she j should practice : but the 'following passage i extracted from her letter, we positively, affirm Ito bona in:wife:4 untruth : "I have been re peatedly confined in a room two, three, and once five days at wtime, deprived of my allow ance of food, for no other reason than that of refusing to Nazareth, to confession." During our long stay at :Nazareth, we have never known, an instanee where the least attempt has been made by the Sisters to proselyte those enter taining religious principles at -variance with' their OWII, nor a punishment inflicted to in duce them to change their religion. As to the heinous penance spoken Of by Mary E. B. Miller, namely, continementin a room and deprivation of food, we unhesita tingly deny that any such punishment was inflicted on her or any one else. We remeak ber on o ne occasion that she voluntarily ab sented herself from the table, for three or tour i days. refusinglng to eat, through ill temper, in ) consequence of not being pleased with the Isat assigned her, although she had request ed a'cliange of place. At length she return ed, and made a kind of apology for her mis demeanor, by saying that she had once done ,'it with her uncle because he told her she was eating too much. ,Ilie.remark_of the presid ing Sister was, that ••you have punished your self far more than I could have 'done." 1 To our certain knowledge she was never subjected to anything more severe than that usually imposed on idlers, viz : to prepare iand recite the neglected lesson—and of course 1 she did su in a _room apart from that in 1 which the young ladies were amusing them ! selves. A Sister is generally in the room , (which is the study hall or a class room) with 1 those• who are, as we say, punished ; though sometimes, when called away, to_ attend to something, shedoCs 7 loalfie door. - TliTh all understand to be done to prevent interrup tion from others : so much so that we often request a Sister, when we wish to be uninter rupted in a room, to lock the door, as we would not like to refuse opening it for our companions. From the time she entered school all the efforts of her teachers to inspire her with the love of study, and to obtain from her such deportment as is becoming in a pupil, proved abortive. Her conduct often elicited from the girls the remark, that the sisters ought to send her from School ; hut they, with their wonted Christian forbearance, were unwilling to send her out into the world without prop er protection, though they would gladly have been relieved of their onerous responsibility. On one occasion when chided for not pre paring her Arithmetic, she vented her wrath by throwing the book at the Sister's head; so you see the "poor unprotected girl" was not so unprotected after all, since the mighty bump of combativeneSs was so fully develop ed. Other instances might be mentioned il lustrative of her pugilistic disposition ; but we think oven this will suffice to show that that "poor unprotected girl" was sufficiently endowed by nature for self-defence. Her inventive genius was well known while at Nazareth, and her ,knowledge of persons who never existed was proverbial even among the smaller girls. Hence, we are not aston ished at, the ;taring tissue of falsehoods which Tram the St. Louis Leader The Nazareth Runaway. "Loutsvrt,LE, March 20th, 1857 she has sent forth to the world. The circus ! stance of her being lock up the day she left Nazareth is an entire fabrication ; t'or she wad ' certainly with the young ladies who took a long walk that afternoon, and was with them throughout the whole day. Two Men "Hanged by Mobs in lowa. On Saturday, the lith inst., Eli 4riturd, half breed, was hung by a mob , in 'Jackson county, lowa, for killing John Ingalls.. On the same day a mob at Bellevue, lowa,.forei bly entered the jail' there, and tpking a pri soner, charged him with murder and'Otiiiiiter felting, and hung him. Great. excitement prevails in the vicinity. , It appears that Orifford, when bewas forci bly seized by the mob, (who broke into the jail,) declared his innocence, bet .where he found that they were determined upon . bang ing him, and there was no probability, of es cape, he made a clean breast of it, confessing that he shot Ingalls in the woods where his body was found. The weapon used *as the rifle, and he approached has victim from be hind to within fifteen feet, and shot him in the head, the ball passing through and lodg ing against the skull over the left L eye„,,lle further stated that he, was instigated to the murder and paid for doing it by his uncle, a man named Jarrett, and another named David McDonald, neighbor of Ingalls. Griffordalso confessed that he had attempted to kill two other persons in;the swim vicinity—one a - man, at whom he shot three times, - and the other a woman. . When told the fatamement was approach ing, he acknowledged the justice of his pun ishment,butsaidhis"uncle should suffer also." From 300 to 500. persons witnessed the hang ing. A prayer was offered up by a Methodist clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Babcock, the guilty wretch kneeling and bowing himself, the surrounding crowd standing in respectful si lence. When the last moment arrived, the leader of the party tied a handkerchief over the eyes of Oriffurd, who remained standing, and twenty-four men took hold of the rope.— At a signal they pulled upon the rope together, suspending him in the air, about eight feet from the earth. ;As soon as the execution was over, two men•were disnatched in pursuit of Jarrett, the uncle ; and Mi!Donald, his ac 'n complice,'and it is sail fto he the determi tiott to hang,them both if taken.,,;'.4lriffurd w s a native of Missouri., , , - -::.-:, .

It seems, however, that - at the time the ap pointment was made, the doctrine of polyga my was not avowed by the Mormons, and that if they practiced it they did so and con cealed the fact from the world. They have since incorporated it in their creed as one of their leading articles, and' have openly de fended it, anti hence the jast indignation which has everywhere been expressed through out the country. It is further stated that Brigham's nomination was c(infirrned by the U. S. Senate without the slightest • opposi tion.
