The d'ays of secrecy n the operations of, the
Know No - thing Order have passed. That plan
which was indiapensably necessary to perfect
its orgatiizatiOn, and crush the old and cor
rupt political bodies of the quay, y, is now ob
solete:and useless. In every section the doors
of 'the Lodges have been thrown open, and
the ianciples of the Order, areas well known
—as familiar to all, as the Constitution of di6
Union. I This is well. It affords those citi
zens, whit were heretofore frightened by its re
portedi
proseriptive ten d en ci e s , to examine
Closely into the merits of the organization, and
apprechite feature hitherto hidden frotheir,
viewibif the -veil of secrecy, now with wn.,
The disderning arid intelligent adopted as ' 11
in ki\e
as native citizen, cannot but be cognizant of 1
the fact,lthat the American party, as it exists,
• welcomes into its ranks every citizen, whether
foreign err native born,- whaterr his religion,- I
if the basis of ..thecitizen's.prerate and politi,
cal feelings, is, love for our institutions, and
respect f or the laws under which he lives.
Although it has been asserted that we were
a met:fiber of the Know Nothingerganization,
in the days of its secrecy, we can truly assert
that we l have never been a member of, and
Would not consent to ally ourselves - to a secret
political l body, of any description. We have
however, strenuously defended and advocated
many of the principles of the Know .Nothing
• organization, believing as we did, and do yet,
that they are destined to effect a much desired
political revolution in our midst. While . we
haveted l vecated arid still advocate those prin
ciple's of the .Amierican organization which
are the lifeblood pure Republicanism, we
have ever objected to one'Tfeature introduced
into the principlesof the : Know Nothiegs.
That feature was, proscription without distinc- '
tion, of. good, worthy ad lied citizens. There
is a marked distinction and we are really glad
that it is so genemllylrecognized, between
certain classes 'of adOpied citizens in our
midst. We iuust say; in all truth, that we
have yet to 'perceive anti-American combina
tions as a body, on the part of the mass of the
English, Gernian, Scothh, and Welsh citizens
of the country. As regards the German pop
ulation, we of course separate the order-loving,
• Sabbath-observing portion, from the, in fi del,
lawless members of that community, who
would disgrace by their presence, any Civilized
country. But as a mass, we recognize the•
worth, intelligence and true American senti
ments possessed by the peculiar classes of
adopted citizens we have named. They ac
quiesce, generally, with a spirit equal in patri
: titian' and true feeling to that-of the native
born, in the enforcement of laws, Local, State
and National; and reverence those cherished
institutions, under:the perpetuation of which
their Children will, reap benefits coequal with
the offspring of the. American born citizen.
The proscription of . citizens of this charactee
has been the printipal reason why we hare
never allied ourselves to the Know Nothing
Order: • As the American party now exists,
and expresses its sentiments, adopted citizens
who occupy the position we allude to, are not
-proscribed.; nor will they lose those inestima
ble political privileges, dear to every freeman,
by allying themselves to that party. Let
them unhesitatingly join that organization,
and they will readily perceive, that spite of
.the assertions of polittcal anti-American pa
pers and demagogues, that there ,is no pro
scription on .the part of Americans towards
them, and that their worth will be fully recog
nized by. those whom they are led erroneously
to believe are their` bitterest political enemies.
"We come here to live—not to rule l ' was in
scribed upon ti.banner in conspicuous charac
ters,' And 'carried by a party of Germans re
cently, in an Americanprecession. in a West
ern city. This is the sentiment of every good
adopted citizen, and were all inclined to adopt
that motto as their rule here, there would be
but little uie of Know Nothing organizations
to check the flood of Jesuitism, foreign pau
perism,' and infidelity, which at, one *time
surged upon our shores, threatening to sweep
from existence every laud-mark of Repubp-
canism
To the adopted as well as.native born citi
zen, has the era of Know Nothingism proved:i
beneficial, placing each in a position to un-
derstlind the merits of ( the other. The Amer
lean Cathilic L owing no allegiance to a for
eign potentate, and spurning the r insidious '
wiles of. Jesuitism ; the English -German,
Welsh and Scotch adopted citizens can shoal
der to shoulder, join with the_native born, in
.the work which lies before thein, of Republi
canising America. ) . The time has arrived,
and we feel confident that the American party
appreciate the _fact, when a fraternal .feeling
should be encouraged between that party, and
the worthy adapted citizen's who reside in our
midst. Their interests are identified; and
with the entire absence of proscription in
their case, on the part of the American party,
we feel assured that the warmest defenders of
the institution of our country, and supporters
of the principles of Anierieanism, will he found
in the . worthy class of adopted citizens refer
red to. •
Limited time forbids further comment on
this itnportatit matter this week. In our next,
we will consider the subject of religious toler
ation and political rights.

in our i tal, and the fracture almost too small to be seen,
i yet the mishap Would most likely lose the poor
Collier his situation. It is only by resting the se
'ow i vercet responsibility on each and every individual
who descends the mines, that the occurrence of
dangerous accidents( is ensured against. , Rules
and notices to the Wortmen infringement o which
to the sniallesteitent, renders the traceless one lia
ble to. fines, instant discharge, or even judicial
penalties, are Pained up throug hout the Wo . rks.=
These rules are twenty-seven in number, and one;
or two of them it May be iriterestiog to specify.—
Rule 23, rubs thesli "That every miner or work
man shall, out of his earnirgs, leave in the bands
'of the Company, as his contrihution to the Mi
ners' Accident Society, established en the works,
three pence per fOrtilight for himself, and three
pence (6 eti.) foriettch drawer employed by him:
Thu SocietA shall he conducted by a Committee,
cuusisting 4 the 1 Underlookere of the Company,
and an equal number of miners appointed by the
Pitmen, to 'which 'Committee the Company shall
hand over the . meiney so left in their 'hands., The
Committee shall hive the.sole distribution of the,
funds, and the Company 'shall subscribe five per
cenL on the amount cuntributesi by the workmen."
Though sotnewhathrbitrary and t Maine-law-like in
its provisions, thii'inle has been found to prove
extremely beneficial. Should any workmen be in
jured, $1 be per week is paid him whilst linable to
work, for the time 'of one year: sifter that it is
discietionary with the Society whether or not to
continue the benefit: Rule 18 is very much com
plained of by the 'Colliers ' and does seem rather
unjust. It provides-that i f pay miner sends up a
cart of Coal or Cannel,.containing stone or dirt in
it, or short of measure, (6 cwt.,) he shall receive
n., wages for the same. A rule, relating to safety
lamps, may contain news for those who. are labor
ing under the impression that Sir Humphrey Da
vy s great invention is a, complete safeguard
against accidents from! explosions: "That as the
Davy lamp is a source of danger, it' used in a
strung explosive current, wherever any danger is
apprehended &ore:fire-damp, the safety tamp shall
not be exposed to sash a current, neither shall it
be suddenly removed in the presence of explosive
gas, hut gently and prudently extinguished by
turning down the wicks." Most of the minor of-:
fences tire punishable by gees, which are added to
the funds of the-Provident Society before referred
to. The rank offenders, such for instance to are
found smoking in the mine, or exposing a naked
light by taking tiff the lamp telt, or entering. the
:nine without .having their latop-gauze examined
by the firemen, are discharged and taken before
the Magistrates. ', Such are the - regulations by
which over one thousand, two hundred men are
worked, in the midst of gas, which a bare spark
may render no fatal to them ns it would were they
over a powder magazine—a gas rendered harmless,
only by a complicated process of ventilation,
wheel' the carelessness of a little trappereneglect
ities to shut his ghte, may entirely disarrangej.-- e
Irnfortueately, in Spite - of al the excellent prove
stuns against the occurrences of these accidents,
casualties that are painful to record have - many
times taken place. It was only two.years ago,
that in the "Arley mine," of g reat depth and ex
tent, a terrible explosion of fire-damp occurred,
- which scorched to' cinders many of the workmen,
whose belies could hardly be recognized on bein is
taken out. whilst h greater number were suffocate d
by the still mrire fearful choke-damp or carbonic
acid gas, which fills up the mine after. an explo
sion has ridden it of the, atmospheric airs Be
tween fifty and sixty lived were lost, mostly y-sung
teen in the Kline of life, ur boys, -Parliament
immediately instituted a Commission to inquire
into the cause! of tne.aeuident, but nothing WOB
elicited, I believe; further than the Eilmlotiition of
some of the workmen that a sudden burst of gas
had ignited fromtt shot or Lliist, which was being
sot off et theespot:where the accident occurred.—
None of those directly concerned had lived to tell
the tale. The result of the House of Commons
inquiry, however; is Keen in the krelter.stringetiey
of the rules and discipline,' as Well here as in .all
the English Collieries since its appointment
The 'Camel' mine which was the first of the
Ineehall Collieries I descended, is 6510 feet ill
depth' and iletnipies an nudergt:ound area of
nearly Sen atres,!extending in round nuinbers.two.-
miles in length North and South, and three-fourths
of a mile in Ineadth East and West. There nro
three shafts; two' for the raising of Coal which is
effected by a 60 hertie poiver engine on top and for
the descent of fresh air—the third is an upeast
one for theepurpeiso of -ventilatiott alone.
This ventiletiee is effected as usual by the rare
faction of air, li:enlaced from a large furnace.
burning five or six tons of Coal per day of 21
hours, and situated under the upeast shaft. From
110 to 120,000 cabie feet of air per min ute,are by this
mearis supplied bi the mine, and the current travels
from where it enters fresh at the foot of the two
'downcast shafts through the passages and wind
iugs at the rate of four miles an beer blithe place
'of its exit at the: furnace.. A steam jet, is also
constructed near the furnace to be used in case of
' danger, when a iMperabundance of fresh air is re
(piked or when ~the furnace is out. The jet is
supplied with enema from large boilers close by,
which work two :":10 horse power engines located
near the bottom Of the pits and engaged in drag
ging up by ropeS; the loaded Coal trains from the
lower workings (the bed of coal having a dip of
about lin 7). The rope which leads from the
windlass wheel lef the engine to -alio bottom of
these I broughs' Where it is attached to the loaded
ears, is over three-fourths of a mile in length.-1
The relative effect of ventilating by steam jet or
furnace, was stated before the Parliamentary Com-
Mitteo to be in favor of the former; and as ro
ger& cost, the flirt can produce an exhaustion of
MAO cubic feet per minute with an original
• taiday of e slsoo,eand an annual expense of $10110:
whilst the last, to produce an equal effect, neces
sitates an outlayeof only $BOO, but a cost per en
core of over $1290. Of course, the heat of. the
two boilers aids the furnace in its duty of supply.
ing the mine under consideration with air to a
considerable extent. This is a very . fiery mine,
and it-is only bOho utmost care and watchfulness
on the part of the manager that explosions are
'guarded against; One should see the men de

DEAR EDITOR .1-1 left yiet In my last when on
the point of aitending a Collier's meeting, assent- I
bled in Bolton, to redress Some grievances which
they couceived themselves to have suffered from I
the illiberality or carelessness of the toasters.—
The assemblage appeared to Le composed of dope.:
ties from the various mines of. I,aucashire, who
desired to take some incline to ensure themselves':
'against the effects of accidents which proper ox.:
penso and pains taken on the part of the mestere '
,
to ventilate the ivory thiiruughly, might easily
render of rare occurrence. s They also proposed to
consider the much mootcul)subject of wages, and 1
the loss or . benefit that would accrue to them from I
"holding out"-against these employers who would
nut pay the higher figure. The degree of taleut
manifested by the speakerif in their calm dispas
sionate appeals to their fellow workmen on a sub
ject of so much importance to them, gave me
high opinion of the intelligence and acuteness of.
the mining population: Quo young man iu par
ticular, stating in a euolinr,, ,, ,ninentative manner,

which were stiseeptibleOf improvenient, and

to theiii the fatherly care exercised by the French
Government over those who pierced' the earth Wel
her mineral treasures, antk.lfie strierresponsibility
for the lives of the , employees to which the em
ployers are held—and then in contrast instanced a
terrible accident from fire-damp which 'had not
long 'since taken place in his neighborhood, fur;
which the masters were held to no 'account, and
into which only a slight Investigation was made ;
by Government. The bath and change of dress!
which the French Collier ieeceives immediately on

"trosted with the walk home in the dirty pit clothes,
tired as their wearers must, be, with the severe la
bars of the day, which is ;he English practice.—
lie wanted the proprietors to take more interest in ,
the lives and conditions o r those who were hourly
perilling themselves fur, his advantage. "In Bel
gium"' he said, "the rare of mortality amongst
Coal miners is but 'lin '282, whilst wit of every
177 of you in England, oil' e man must he killed
annually."
1 . gathered from the proceedings ' which were
marked by a degree of forbearance rant intelli- ,
gence unusual, that two; of their number have
been sent as deputies to i'arliatnent, to endeavor
to got such provisions fur/heir well being as they ,
considered necessary, made into a stringent Itiw,
and that they were likely 10 be entirely successful.'
I was pained to see in thaeenyoc.ation of Lancas
ter miners, such a loud testimony to the peculiar
hardships and- unhealthiZMss of the life which
earns-tor them their dailytbread, in the bad shapes,
Fallow, pale complexions,iind deformed; warn-out'
look, which they 'almost universally exhibited,— •
These all spoke tif the crouching, confined position
which, their labor necessitated; of the .breathing
air exhausted-of oxygen, by a circuit of miles thro''
galleries where others worked and .breathed, and
contaminated by contact:with gas which it was
necessary
. to 'dilute to,riinder harmless; . of the
want of wholesome sunshine and the light of Ilea
yen and regarding then' one could understand
the • distressing.. fact. which the army-enlisting
sheets - have recently disalused, that in the'
Vert:Mod of 'Liege, out of every 100 Colliers drawn
for the militia, no less than 42:5 were rejected fur
physical • reasons—this proportion being Jloubld
idiot of the weavers, and i 16.6 per. cent, above the.
`average of alt trades. Really, knowing this, come
thing ought to be dobe br Government to render
their life of toil and hazard, as' little hazardous

•
F. W. Edmonds, Cashier of the Mechanics' Bank,
who is ;univerialli admitted ,to be the best officer 1
and financier's the street.' Much wonderment
was mimed thereby,, and- many were the surmises ' I
—rumor was shre that a man of such decided abil-, I,
Ries would never hayo been allowed to leave with-1
out aurae cogent reason. The truth of the matter
seems to have settled down into the fact- that the
Cashier appropriated, to his own pocket various
enioluments of, the Mink, in'the way of interest on I
special and call luani, concerning the right to dui
which a various opinion existed. . 1
Mr. Edmonds -held the responsible situation of;
City Chamberlain—the custodian of the people's
money', from Which post he received, in addition 1
to a salary, twii antra half per cent. on the depus- ,'
• its, which is quite a respectable . Ell'o3, when we,
consider the fact that some sis millions of dollars
are annually received to entry male City Govern- ,/'
• went. Mayor; Wood has, removed the gentleman ; ,
from his post ;In the serVietz of the city, end ; has i
. tendered the station to Robert Kelley, a director
of the 31f:chunks' Bauk;and a well known citizen.'
If he accepts the tender, the institution will still!
remain the regipleet of the deposits, quito an item
in its way also. i
Apropos of tlitaneial matters, two now hanks are ,
under process of organization in our city—ono of
which 'under the name of he Imp) 'ter,' and "i'ra-;
dere, is desighed to serve that very large and t
wealthy class 'of our merchants, who deal , chiefly '
in Europe, and who have foreign securities con- 1
shindy on hand to offer for their accommodation;
—a collateral which is at present with difficulty i
made available.!
Great dissatisfaltion is evinced in New York ae',
the way in which the tenses has teen taken, as it'
Las evideutlyl beep prepared_ very earelesily—in
many places Laving liana_ the results of absolute;
guesswork. 3iltiny cases are cited where Whole:
blocks have never been visited at all by the Mar , r;
shuts. No bOter: proof of 'the truth of such Wile- 1
gation - need he mentioned,.than that-several wards'
in our dity haYe been reported its 'Considerably de-
creased tvithiit the past five years, when every..!
body knows that the reverse to a large 0 degree, is
I
the feet. • J . I.
Since the transformation of our old resort, ball
room,' concert hall, and reception saloon, Castle -
.Garden, into an Emigration .Depot, we have had'
extra - ordinary excitement among certain classes,
which has found ,vent for itself in several mass
meetings, with the'usual conctmitant.s of speech-•
making, torches,banners and processions. Great,
stress has boon id upon' the introduction of pes
tilence, 4,e., as the orators say, into our midst, but
the truth of the matter is that the wholo Struggle
arises among; the runners and emigrant , agents,
who behold the prey which they have plundered
mercilessly for years, slipping from their clutches, ;
and being placed in the hands of proper and care
fully constituted authorities. -The arrangements!
are such that the great lines of travel to the west; ;
take their pit!ssongers from ,the Castle itself, and
the etnigrant, if so disposed, need not set foot in
New York eit'. 'Officers are there stationed, who,
give all inforMation necessary, and offices arc open'
for the sale of all' kinds of tickets for the west.:-=-;
Maths and every means of health . and cleanliness I
ate plentifully }provided.
some apprehensions are entertained is our city'
that we may! be visited with the yellow fever,
which is no raging with great 'and increasing
violence in Virginia. The infected ports are de
dared under quarantine, and our steamers
. hove
ceased rtinniog to those places; but as long ',as
they continue their.trips to towns only live miles
distant, and . receivo full cargoes,' of freight and
passengers frjdn the infected cities, and while rail- •
road ! eomintinication is direct awl daily frMn
thence to New York, rill efforts at quarantine 'fire
useless. ,The health of our city is now excellent,
and medical friend told us a few days since that
the duct. ,re were never so near starving as at Ile
sent:- Lung may. they continuo so. . .
