'Facts to rtmenabler.and.irotit
Political gamblers like Wilmot,ip their
struggles for power, usually profess to be . in
flueueed by the most generous and philan
throphie motives. They are adepts in the
sot of deceiving; by their pathetic appeals
and apparently horiest homilies, in' behalf of
the ..ir"—• -,Nti and unfortunate they mislead
rr ^
the voter and plunder him'of ; his property and
rights while he is dreaming of
- their devotion
to liberty and their sacrifices pro bone pub-,
lico. 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,

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

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.

editor of the Herald of Freedom, was a witnesr

Mr. Brown says in his paper ; "The above

the St. Louis Democrat. If 'Mr. G. W.

information Was conveyed to the said G. W.
Brown, hence he was not in a ttendance

said Reilpath stated that "which was not true

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.

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

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

easy. -Can he point to . a time during the
political struggles of our - Country, when the
Cathdlics 'voted in a body, without exception,

Mr. Buchanan, for he was the only candidate
who represented the Constitutional doctrine

So with the Catholics; their eeremoniig are

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. . .
