A brief recurrence.to Mr. Wijmot's career as a politician affords abundant evidence of his .

Our present Sate government is the fruit cf the foulest deception, inasmuch-as .it .owes its existence to the industrious propa gation of an incorrect theory respecting the relation of the Sta.. s to the National law Making power. In 1854 men were appointed to make the laws and preside over the de . sti , vies of the Commonwealth, fur the vehemence and ferocitywith which they assailed the •Federal Executive and denounced an enact ment of Congress; theirfitness for_ the sta tions to which they were called was not duly considered du! the inquiry "are they op posed to the Ktinsas-Nebtaska las" was sub stituted for the Jeffersonian test query "ate they honest Vi and capable V' We have of:en adverted to the injustice .and roily of the course then .pursued, but the conviction' that its fatal tendencies cannot - be too forcibly im-. pressed upon the mind of the voter induces us to enumerate once more its bail results, as arguments against the part Mr. Wilmot is now playing, and as proof that the policy of the party which he represents, is both ups reasocable and unwise. We 'appeal to those_ -who struck down Wx. BIGLER with the false allegation that his sympathies and official acts were for slavery, to designate the good effects of their triumph; to show in what respect - the" slave power" has been* crippled, , or the interests of humanity advanced by the action of the present executive of this Com monwealth. Ile has not,iufluenced or abol ished the systepi of dotnestic servitude pe culiar to Hem States of this Union, for the very plain and conclusive reason that he pos sesses no greater centrol over that system than does the humblest inhabitant of Susque hanna County. The institutions of Virginia are beyond the reach of the Pennsylvania elector; the tight to make a gorertfinent tor KansaS does not belong to him. In this view it is quite clear that questions relating tki - the Territories, should hare no weight with the voter when he chooses an administration for the. State in which he re sides. The ballot correctly and abstractly viewed is the index of the elector's will ; it is: the instrument under :cur democratic system, with which be mak es ' the government -con form- to Vii convictions. But' as Lis views lipflti questions out of his jurisdiction can have no :ling to ( h; with the ndjuitmetit of those questions, it is .tieless for him to cast u;; vitt; with-reference to thtm. Our national Consti , tuticm as judiciallrinterpreted wisely reposes ' in the peOple of each political community compo,inz the Union 'the power of deter mining under certain restrictions the eharac- EDITORS. ATE CKIE of his fellow-citizens v because he says-he-is a martyr to principle, and, the Democracy have outlawed him because of the strength of his "back bode." liis record falsifies his pre tensions and publishes- . him as an unscrupe • ous demagogue--a place hunter without one unselfish trait=--an agitator and a fanatic des tilde- of that earnestness and truthfulness of purpose which sometimes .renders that in cendiary tolerable. We .trust that the ,facts we hive enumerated will be seriously weigh ed by every voter before he-deposits his bal lot on the second Tuesday of October next, Let every matt remember that while Wilmot is agitating a question that is not involved in the-choice of a State administration, his re cord demolishes his claim to honesty, of pur pose and stamps him as a hypocrite,—anun, grateful, unreliable and selfish spoils-hunter. /Mr Our political opponents hereabouts, are very fond of disentombing the proceed ings of democratic caucuses; conferences and conventions, held - years ago in this and ad joining Counties. Unable to answer the ar gmtnents advanced in support of the princi ples promulged and advocated by the only National party in the Republic, they try to show that men who now defend just and con servative doctrines, wore formerly identified with the free-soil heresy.. Thus. the Republi : con of last week was embellished with a long dissertation on slavery and the previous action of SOMo of our fellow eiiize . os in relation to that subject ; 'and a spasmodic, unsuccessful effort was made to show that Messrs. Gere and Brown and Brewster and .Bullard and Little are now acting in defiance .of their 'former professions. That these gentlemen supported Mr. Grow for Congress in 1850, is a fact ; and it is also a fact that the majority of those who now support him, opposed him then. Now this statement, which does not admit of successfuLdeniai, plainly indicates that, Mr. Grow has .Changed his politiO, or that both his old friends and old enetu'es have changed theirs. The rational presump tion is that Grow is die guilty party ; that as he found it, both pleasant and profitable to, occupy a seat in'Congress, ho went over to' the enemy so soon as ho discovered that the Democracy, ou the principle of rotation, had determined'to let him rusticate at Glenwood for a time. In 1852 Grow and the gentle men who are accused by the. Republican of inconsistency, voted for Pierce and the Bal timore Platform. The doctrine of that plat fornttouching slavery, was non-intervention. Grow advocated the democratic cause in the canvass preceding Nree's election ; and em ployed all his rhetorie, and ingenuity .to con• viuce the people of the justice and propriety of the. compromise mea s ures oCSO, including the Fugitive Stave Law. .The basis of those Measures was ti c. , l.i•intervention; the very doctrine reprwente4 and defended' by party in the. last canvass. Now • Grow repudiates non-intervention, and advocates Congrer,ional sovereignty—a doctrine in de fiance of the Constitution, hS interpreted by the highest judicial tribunal in the land.— ....ghe4antle.men,assaulted the Rep . nblicon defend now, as to - -64;• rto.._rizbt of the bona _tide 'inhabitants. of the •Territories to make their own government. They act in obedience to law and refuse to resist the authorities. Grow attacks the fun damental law and the power created to de fine it. • We also find re.olutions paraded in the columns of the Republican, purporting to have been passed at an imnromptu gathering of our citizens, to denounce the. Fugitive S!ave Law.' With reference to this law we have only to say that it was enacted in pur suance of unmistakable constitutional re quirements; it is substantially .the same as an enactment which received the signature of WASHINGTON in 1.793 ; that black Republi can judge, John .If7Lcan, of Ohio, has pro nounced it constitutional ; it was endorsed by the Whig and Democratic platforms in 1852, and every State in the Union sanction ed it by a popular rote. The present black Republican party does not demand its re peal and it is not therefore an issue in any of our political . struggles. It does not look well Mr. -Republican, to condemn men for sus taining measures sour party does `not. pro pose to abolish. If. the Fugitive Slave Law is wrong and popular sovereignty a heresy, exert your reason to prove them so. t The editors of the Republiana call the Democrat the "dough-face organ"—the advocate of a " Sbamocratic, pro-slavery or ganization," and other opprobrious names, in re-ponce to the arguments we advance in vin dication of our parts and its principles. If "dongbface" means a capacity to turn polit cal summersets; to denounce to-day the measures we eulogized yesterday, we decline ,accepting the epithet as descriptive of the character of our paper ; and recommend -- those who fling their stale billingsgate at us so frequently,to look over their files and plead guilty to the charge of " - doughfaceism" iu the first degree. Their journal is the feeble represen tative of a party that Lou been on all sides of all questions—a party famous for its swilling 'tress to fuse with any faction, and cpmmit any fraud fur the advanceme,t of the ofes sional office seekers who" carry it Si sec tional flag. Its orators denounced ve ry mnd the Fugitive Slave law; sa i d'; to forcibly illustrate their insincerity, voted for Fillmore. In one locality it cour ts the for eign and Catholic vote ;• in another it asserts drat" Americans muss. rule America." In a temperance community it believes in total abstinence and prohibition ; where - beer drinkers are the majority. it. brands Maine Laws as " sumptuary," and legislation to re strain appetite as tyrannical. It teaches its fAllowers to regard SIMON CAMERON as cor rupt and , pro-slavery, and calls his election to the United States Senate* " trinuipir• of free dom." It accuses the Democracy 'of truck ling to the 4 foreign power," and it nominates O'Neal, the foreigner, for a vounty Its disciples peach one doctrine to-day and practice its opposite tomorrow. They are a pretty crew -to - accuse• their opponents of "doughfaceism,"andAconsistencies. Don't you think so, reader? Repeal et the Nattiratization Laws. A friend has kindly futnisbed us with an extract from that sterling Democratic paper, the Chicago - Times, containing the followirg 'clasification of the rote in Congress on the proposition of Humphrey -Marshall of Kentucky to amend the Naturalintion Laws -so as Co require the man of foreign birth to reside in the United States twenty-one years before acquiring any rights of citizens Lip.

Not a Democrat has disgraced himself by placing his name in the list. • Falsehood Systematized. The Kansas letter writers, seem to have no regard for truth whatever. They manufac ture falsehoods tegardless of consequences. If they are caught in one, they pay no regard to it, but add another, still moie glaring and absurd, for well they know that those papers that give currency to their yaws will not retract them. We have prevd shown the character of Phillips the is ''cittl" cor respondent of the. N. Y. Tribune, and we n Ake tt.at one James Redpath who writes for the St. Ltois Democrat (from which many of the telegraphic despatches for the East are taken) is equally regardless of truth, We give two instances of' his falsehoods, as we find them in the Kansas Herald of Freedom, edited by G. W. Brown formerly of this State. ANOTHER. .LIE NAILED.-" Mr. G. W. Brown, editor of the Herald of Freedom, was a witnesr for the prosecution, but his evidence was Dot produced." Mr. Brown says in his paper ; "The above paragraph is from one of Ittidpath's letters to the St. Louis Democrat. If 'Mr. G. W. Brown was a witness' in the prosecution against ftobinsolche should have been leirel ly made acquainted with the fact. No such information Was conveyed to the said G. W. Brown, hence he was not in a ttendance . at Leeompton at any time during the month the Court for the trial of Chas.

Terrible Split.- An awful "split" hasocturred in the free State party in Kansas - ,in consequence of the resolution to vote at the Octobtr electiein. The. free people of Kansas are on one aide, the . let• to writers on the other ! The effect of this 'split' in Kansas remains to be seen, the ef fect in' the States has been to "disappoint the long-cherished hopes of those would-be-die tatorsi who desire to use Kansas at a chess- I board upon which - to play a false game. It will be remembered that those Fremont pa pers; ihat dared advocate the .voting policy, have heretofore been road out'of the party, and denonnend as being hostile to the cause of freedom, by the Greeley class. It is well that the free State party has thrown off the galling yoke of Greeleyism, , it has worn it too long already. For the Demociat. Stuns. Entzonat—ht 's our paper of July_ 3d I saw a letter addressed to the Know Noth ing State Council, over the signature of D. Wiltnot..l Was surprised at the position tak en and the language employed with reference to the naturalized citizen, and the maviho, in pursuance - of his convictions of duty. adopts the Catholic form of worship. The Writer of the letter in question assents in 'sub stance that naturalized citizens cannot com plain if the; are excluded from holding any official stations in this Commoner°glth. -I differ with thejudge in this respect, materi: ally. The coriCtitution recognizes the natur alized and mii.ve barn citizen as political equals; to tht in - trument they yield' a .com mon obetlieoetg; i affords them equal pr.. tection and holckthe• right of the natural ized in as high estimation, and - as Accred as the rlght of him been on the soil. The place of a . man's birth is not regarded by the con stitution as affecting his qualifications - for a public trust, and it is not, only the grossest intolerance, buts direct assault on the letter and spirit t.f the fundamental law of the land to withhold from the naturalized - citizenwny of the incidents- of citizenship, because I.e happened to be born in Ireland or Germany.. Who is this man that Mr. Wilmot denounces awl is wiling to poscril e for the purpose of securing the support of the Know Nothing party I What has he done to f.rfeit the rights guaranteel to him •by The AmeriCan COn.titutinn 1 He )ias taken in oath to sup port that Constittitiol . ; his ititii-,...ri, in C e absence of higher and moreT'Patriotic im pulses; prompts him to maintain it inviolate ; his security against the machinations of. the into:et:lnt .0 , -...1:ar. lies in the enforce ment- of all its eminently Itnou.a and lust provisions. . - As Lafayette, Montgomery, SAlivan, De Kalb, B wry, and their compeers heartily co operated' with Wa..lington, 'and shed their blood and expended their treasure in the, suc cessful effort to give to America 'liberty and a place among the nations, so, to-Jar, the nst urrdized citizcu would vie with his brother freeman of native birth, in defending the in terest'and honor of the Republic. " Worth makes the man ;" let that remain the only passport to public confidence and offfzial . sta. tion as the Constitution contemplated, and we are content. This wholesale denunciation of men born in a foreign country, when they have ziolemuly sworn to uphold the establish ed institutions and authorities of the land cif their adoption, and renounced all allegiance to every foreign prince and potentate, is as unreasonable as it is ungenerous, unmanly, and unjust. It would be as sensible to brand all Americans as treacherous, because of Arnold's perfidy, as it is to recommend the proscription of all persons of foreign birth, because of the ignorance or evil purposes of one of that class. If Mr. Wilmot supposes that the naturalized citizen left the land of his nativity for 'the sole pnrpose of - reclaiming the Swamps and Mountains of America, be is mistaken. The liberality of the American government-attracts the oppressed quite as much as the:cheapness and fertility of the American acres. We ask not to rule, or to en joy that which your fundamental laws does not promise us.; but we protest tainst that illib eral spirit which would practically enslave us by denying to us the exercise of the Amer ican freeman's dearest privilege. Place no obstruction in the road to preferment, Mr. Wilmot, and then the naturalize! citizen will not complain whether he tread it or not.. ' Judge Wilmot says, " doubtless our nat. uralization laws could be so amended as to aid in securing purity and fairness in our elections." Here is an intimation that the naturalized citizens of our country are guilty of perpetrating all the frauds yvhich have dis graced, at times in the large cities, our popu lar elections. The Judge cowardly insinu ates the falsehood, because he lacks the cour age to utter it boldly. Don't he know_ that the intolerant party whose favor le courts in the letter before referred to; has signalized its brief, but dishonorable career, by the most wanton outrages upon ttaSballot-box, and a reckless disregard of the freeman's con stitutional privileges Where was this de fender.of the "purity of elections," when the press teemed with the bloody details of a riot incited and presided over by _ll Know Noth ing mob in Louisville reaeeable citizens were butchered:in the -streets, or burned in their own houses, - that.

With reference to Mr. Wihnot's._ abuse of the Catholic Church, it is enough to say that his charges are all false, and 'evince on the part of the author, gross ignorance of the subject he attempts to discoss, ora Malicious and criminal spirit. The .allegation that the friends of Catholicism are. controlled has by their religious instructors,haa been disproved frequently heretofore ; and " Lad :Mr. Wilmot read the speech made in' Con gress, a few'yeari since, by lion. , Joseph IL Chandler, of Philadelphia, he would not have revived the stale imputation.

In self-defence they voted for Mr. Buchanan, for he was the only candidate who represented the Constitutional doctrine of Religious Toleration.

Silver Lake, Sept. 10, - 1 851. , ' WROUGHT Ittos'eAits.—We lemii loth the officers of the Hudson River Railroad, .that ,the direCtors have ordered four wrought iron pas.enger cars:for the use of the road: Th e iroli cars referred to; are got up on the mod del patented. by . Dr. J. 13. La Moutte, of New York, The frame work of the wrought iron is in effect an extremely strong and .stiff, vet elastic basket, each joint cr interscc•ion strngthened by rivets, and the whole be ing farther protrcted,. by making tLe entire platforin . at each end, one strong wino- of week. If the car runs off the track, falls down a precipice, or comes into .colliAon with an other, in such - a manner that the springs at each end cannot absorb the shock, the car itself will spring, collapse, - twist, or crumple uki but cannot break and crush its contents with its fragments. One of the greate,t, dan ifets in -collisions, Ate., arises from the dispo.: anion of ordinary ears to penetrate each oth er. with their timbers, or to shut together like the • parts of a telescope, and ano her arises frotu the facility with which the tops and sides; the' Seats &c., separate from the more substantialtfloors, and are precipitated forward with, the passengers. Neither of thse, nor many other minor evils; could arise from violence to this style of ear, which is also much lighter than iolie • wooden ones; and•tbus will absorb far less power in hauling . it. The car is constructed of strips, so . con nected as to be practically without joints— Should.the iron car prove successful on the Hudson River road, and we do not seeliow it can•do otherwise, we may expect to s,ee other-first class roads, going into the sane operation. . .
