,Thel.4e are the facts with regard to Mr. Pol
lock. Will he dare ' deny 'them I ' They are
susceptible of abundant and convincing
proof. The time, the' place, the circumstanc
es in connection with the admission of Mr.
Pollock are all known in this city. The,
members 'of the Know-Nothing organization
clairn him es theireandidate, and as a mem
ber of their order, in full - :communion with all
-its proscriptive ideas. If . Mr. Pollock is elect--
ed,- instead of the State government heing -
-conducted on the broad, open basis of . the- .
Constitution, and the equality of men under
that; sacred instrument, the '
•directing hand
will !be .controlled by the oath of a secret so- ,
eiety4roscriptive in its character, and based
upon the boldest and most ultra doctrine of re-,
, ligious persecution. : Mr. Pollock is sworn to
deprive one portion of ear l fellow-citizens of
their equality of rights because - they do not
worship God in the same . manner that he
does; another, because they. were not born
. upon the soil of this'country ; and still anoth
- er r because their fathers were not native to the
eountry, or may have been believers in a par
ticular religious faith. This is new doctrine
to be preached on the soil of old "Pennsylva
nia, and attempted to be forced .on her citi
zens- by means of a sworn secret society. How
will the honest yeomanry of the interior rel-,. Is'
ish such - an attempt to make aliens of their
- children, and ostracise them from the benefits ,
.of civil and religions liberty I The Star-_ I
' chamber of England, and the Inquisitorial in- S
slitutions of other countries, are justly • repro- p
' bated by all lovers of the rights of Conscience ;
but how do they differ 'in practic conse
quences from the order of Know-Nothings—
To be. sure; they deprive:la man of life as well as
liberty. That was .a feature of the same bar- I fol
barons age in which their organizations ex
isted. The same spirit that leads a man to
take an oath to proscribe annther.on account
of his religious faith, will induce him to burn
him at the stake, and the 'Know-Nothingism
of 1854, of which Mr. Pollock is a member,
is identical in all its features with the most
barbarous crusaders of the middle ages.
For the purpose of courting success, the
Whig party and its candidate, Mr. Pollock,
have atfillatedwith this society, and are bound
hand and foot to its' bloody car, Mr. Darsie,
the Whig nominee for Canal Commissioner,
is not a native of-this country, rind hence he
is to be superceded by Mr. Spicer, of the
- Native American State ticket, and n membei
' ofithe Knew-Nothings. In this manner the
facet is to be pn+paardlot the allied forces.

This, however, will not ratiify the_ people.

.Occupying. the position which we volunta
rily assumed from the moment the clause, re
pealing the, :Missouri Compromise \ restriction,
was introduced : into the Nebraska territorial
Bill, we hate eVerything to lose - by any pop

emit the 01111ot-box. ;lllence, personal con
iderationsi' saying - nothing of,principle,would
lead us. to resist, in aillts_ahapes, all attempts
to procure from the popular will of Pennsyl
vania, at the!approaching : election, a fievora-;
ble. expression fer that repeal. On its final
passage in tlte . House! of .Repr es entatives, a
majority of i the northern - Democrattf voted
against it, and in everyelection ! since held in
a northern ,. tate, the repeal has :nietlt,he most
decideer : diiproval by the ,people. We take
it that. the friends of 'the Bill itti all quarters
have now cone to the!conelusion., that all at
tempts to Wring from; the -sentiinent of the .
north an esdersementf Of the measure, will
eventuate in disaster and ruin. !Certainly un
less. total blindness to 'events and their 'causes , 1
darkens the judgment; no man can now be

will ever 's stain that pin as it passed Con
gress and beeame a lair: -

there be, they- cannot iemuitt decethyd much
