the 23th insi. Bishop L. Scott preached
the dedicatory sermon: subject the work
of God. Ho showed most conclusively
that the M. E. Church is the work of
God, a child of Providence and Grace.
It was a sermon of sterling worth aud
very appropriate to the occasion. At the
close of the sermon, tho II jv. D. W. Bar
tine, made a brief statement of the wants
of the Church, followed by an appeal to
the christim liberality and benevolence
of the people, in his usual pleasant and
j pathetic style. The congregation respond

civing in cash and pledges in less than
half an hour, SI 300.
The Rev. Dr. Ca tie preached in the
aftcrnaon (3 o'clock) a finished sermon :
subject, the message and meengers of
God in tlic salvation of the world. It
was a sermon full of life and power ; at
the close of the sermon a collection and
subscription was lifted, amounting to
8300, making in all 81600.
The chuch was open for sen ices in the
evening, when the Kev. Mr. Bartinc de
livered a luo.t dcli-'htful sermon. Sub-
ject the glory of Ghri.-ls go-pel and its
power to change the hu.u;:u heart an,i

The day passed off most delightfully,

which had been creeled throuirli the i$H

Is Henry S. Hott a Know-Kbtbiisg.
We made a respectful inquiry, some
days since, of our Loco Foco neighbors of
the Pennsylvania! and Liming Argus,
wluther llenrv S. Molt, the Loco Focc
candidate for Canal Commissioner, is not
a member of the so-called Order of Know
Nothings, v. horn they so violently and bit
terly denounce as a set of conspirators a-
'ainst the rights and liberties of the poo
pie. In doing so, we took occasion to
warn them to cxerci.-e the precaution uot
to attempt to speak for him without ex
press .authority, nor to undertake to deuj
the charge that he is a Know Nothing,
lest they might place themselves in the
embarrassing position of having their
voracity impeached and their assertion
contradicted by some of the knowing ones.
Taking the hint thus thrown out to them
by us, and being evidently determined to
profit by it," both those journal-, though
loud in their denunciaiiu.s of the Order,
:md extravigant in their charges again-,
the Whigs as sympathizing with it. have
acted upon the principle that "discretion
is the better part of valor," and remained
quiet as death in relation to the inquiry
made of them by us. Acting upon the
same theory which they have adopted in
their couduct towards the Whig candidate
for Governor, that of being ju-tificd ia
denouncing him a Know Nothing, and in
voking opposition to his election from all
those opposed to the Order, because lie
has not contradicted the charge that he
is a member, we are justified in pronoun
cing Henry S. Mott, their candidate for
Canal Commissioner, a memder of the
the Order so much denounced and abused
by them. Having failed to answer our
respectful inquiry, we shall not be con
tent with any denial on their part here
after. The only way the charge can now
be put at re?t is by an open and public
denial by Mr. Mott himself. Let him
publish such denial under his signature,
if he dare, and if he fails to do so let the
editors of the FeansylvanUm and the Ar
gus hide their face. and forever after
wards remain silent on the subject oi
Know Nothingisrn.
The Democratic Union, ut ilarriaburg,
a Bigler organ, makes a lame and bung
ling attcicpt to whitewash Mr. Mott, but
in doing so neither attempts to dcuy the
charge mr to di'guise the fact that the
support of the Know Nothings for him is
expected. Tho following U its article on
the subject :
"It .Won't Do. The Philadelphia
News and other Whig journals, confoun
ded at tho disclo-urea in relation to Pol
lock's connection with the secret order o?
Know Nothings, herniates that Henry S
Mott. the Democratic candid -ate for Ca
nal Commissioner, is a member of the or
ganization. Other Dapers
all

that
Gov. Bigler made application for adm"
doUjbuu was r-jncted. Theo stories arr
tvitho.it foundadion, manufactured out o
whole cloth, as an oEf-.vt to the w-ll-ai-eertained
and uncontratict ed fact that
Jama Pollock joined the society after hi
nomination, and is now a member in good
sanding. The Know Nothing- may vote
for Mr. Mott. but it will be on the ground
that George D.ir.-ie, his opponent, is not a
native of the United States. Believing
Mr. Mott to be a sound Democrat, we
venture to assert that he is not, never was,
and never will be a Know Nothing."
'Believing Mr Mott to be a sound Dem
ocrat," quoth the Union , "we venture to
assert that he is not, never was. and nev
er will be a Know Nothing.'' Such a
denial amounts to nothing, and the reason
givt-n why the Know Nothing vote i-? ex
pected for him, is too flimsy to 1)3 very
sati.-factory. Tho Linccisterian, another
Loco Foco journal, and a little more hon
e.-t an 1 oitipoken than the Unhn, WW

which enables as fully to uudert"tud th

Wo seldom, if ever, believe an

inees by Whig print, knowing that in

a special purpose. Tho Philadelphia

nominee for Canal Commissioner, with

date of that Order for the office for which
ho was nominated by th Democrat State.
Convention. We would have left this
charge against him pass as unworthy of
notice, were it not that Blanche's Sunday
Press a Know Nothing paper has U
name at its mast head, and advocates hi
election. Wc have also been informed,
that at a State Convention of the Know
Nothings held in Philadelphia, on the 3d
inst., it was determined to support him
in connection with Pollock for Governor,
and Baird for Judge, thus taking one can
didate from each of the State ticketr in
the field."
"Wc would suggest to the State Cen
tral Committee, that they procure from
him a letter "defining his position." Let
him come out manfully, aud "show hi
color.-." If he refuse to do so, we su g
gest that his name be taken from the Tic
ket, and another placed upon it. He
i hull not receive our support unless he de
nies the accusations which have been
made against him, with at lea.-t some
show of truth, f he is to be supported
by the Know Nothings, we want to know
whether it is with his knowledge and con
sent and whether ho has made any pled
ges to them in reference to the appoint
ments he may be called upon to make?
Ho must "face the mu-.ic !"

The Demooratic Address.
That able and Independent paper, the
Philadelphia Register, contains, in a late
number, a review of the address of the
State Central DemocraticCommittce.from
which we make the following extract:
"The enemy to be overwhelmed by the
committco is the new opinion commonly
designated "Know Nothing." Setting
nnt with nn fiasumntion that a coalition
exists, between this opinion and the j
Whigs, tho committee charges the coal-1
ition with having "espoused the doctrine
of proscription against all citizens not na
tive born of whatever religious faith;"
and with being "in close alliance with a
secret aud oath-bound association which
purposes to punish men for conscience
sake"
Wa propose to consider these charges
. .i
in tueir oiucr.
1. Is it proposed by any one to pro
scribe naturalized citizens ? Certainly,
no body of men has proposed to deprive
that class of the elective franchise; or to
expel them from the States or to exclude
their children from the public Miliool-; or
tax them more heavily; or to prevent
them from entering the profesMon, or ac
quiring real estate; or to impose upon
them any burdens not born by their fcl-
What then does the Democratic Com
mittee mean when it talks of "proscrip
tion " and of taking "from citizens the
ciwl rights which they have already ac
quired under the Constitution?" We
-hall let it answer.
If is an attempt," says the Committee,"
to settle a policy not recognized in any
law of this country, that hereafter no man
born out of the country shall hold a civil
office under the government." If thi
means anything, it is that tho right ac
quired by a naturalized foreigner is the
right to hold office. Wo are inclined to
think that this right depends entirely on
tho prior right of the people to elect
whom they choose. A newly made citi
zen has the right to hold an office, if he
can get it; and not without.
The Democratic Committee assumes
that if a foreigner is a candidate, the vo
ters have nothing ele for it, but to put
his name on their ballots, under pennlt
of high treason to the Constitution. But
the Committee fails to point out the clau-e
in that instrument which secures to for
eigners the offices of thecountry. It-;
whole reasoning on this p(nnt is wretched
sophii-try, addressed to the passions oi
the class mo-t interested and the ncruple.
of the conscientious ignorant. The cry
of proscription raised by a defeated can
didate is ridiculous. The majority will
vote for its own men, and if a candidate
happens to be of tjie majority so much
the better for him.
The true inquiry is whether tho gener
al rule ia in the main reasonable. If the
political condition of tho country is such
that the election of iiy man of a certain
class would be taken as an endorsement
ot certain improper movements on th.
part of that class, it woaid bo a natriotie
duty to vote for his opponent.
For similar reasons, Americans may
decline, in the present condition of the
country, voting for any foreigner. And
this without any hate to foreigners a.-
.-.uch, but from a sense of the patriotic ob
ligation to break ud tho dangerous com
bination cxiiling in that class to support
their own men for omces. Ave alluue to
facts well known. There u not a niem -
ber of the Democratic party who is not a -
ware tha' his party is dictated to by its
naturalized members who as the price ol
their support, 3-;raand anenormom share
of tho spoils. There is not a politician
who does uot know that wherever the
Democratic party has acquired a majori
ty in a Northern State, it has Keen by a
coalitiou with the compaet foreign force
moving under the general-hip of bishop
and prosts. The only efieetual metho I
of breaking up this coalition, is for evcr
ry good citizen to vote so as to deprive
the foreign clique of the advantage
promised it by bargaining politics.
A sa whole, the democratic address may
bo pronounced a wordy, ad captandum
aud a conclusive document.

Thft A'oluntarv Confession of Ellenor
Lawrence formly of Kill county, State
of Pennsylvania, now of Alioghenj
City, taken before William Adam.-,
Mayor of said city, July 7th, A. D.
185-i.
Tim said Ellenor Lawrence doth of her
own free will aud accord, confess and de
clare, that she is fourteen years of age;
that her mother died when .-die was three
years of age; that her father, Wrn. Law
rence, kept a housekeeper until he died,
which occurred in July, A. D. 1351. At
my lather's death, ho left me heir to five
'thousand dollars in money, and one hun
dred and fifty-six acres of land in Elk
county. I have a brother whose name
h John, to w hom niy father left one hun
dred dollars. My father appointed Mr.
Thomas McConnell, of said county my
guardian; which said McConnell sent me
to Bishop O'Connor; the Bishop sent me
to the Sisters in Birmingham where I re
mained about two years, until last March,
at which time the Bishop sent for me to
come and live in his palace; since which
time, (except six week.-- I remained in
his paiace, except such times as he sent
me over to the Sisters in Birmingham,
.vhere I would stay sometimes a week or
more, and then come back to the palace,
j ti -1. as the Bishop required.
About one or two o'clock, on a certain
day,
I cannot now remember the exact
day, but it was in the month of August
last, the Bishop rang his uell, which the
servant girl answered; he said it was not
her he wanted it was Eilcnor Lawrence.
I then went, because the commands of the
Bishop was imperative. When I went
up I found him in hi bed room. When
I came in, he caught me in his arms and
threw mo on the bed, and co nmenced an
mipr.'pur iniimaey, by palling up nn
clothe. I eoiiiiiu need to cry and halloo,
with ali my might, when he put his hand
on my mouih and breast, and tjll mc I
must not rei-t a Bi-diop or a Pri-jst; be
cause if I did not, 1 would git a good i -ward
in the oilier world, and escape tht
torn-cuts of Purgatory. But I-tiii iesit
ed, ami when he could not accomplish hi.-
purpose, ho then took my hand and rub
bed it over hi.- person. At another time
he called me up to his room to show me
some pictures, aud when there, he made
J - ome improper advauces, I picked up a
; pair of tonga and threw at him, and start
ed to rundown stairs, thinking I could
outrun him; but ho caught mc and pulled
me on his knees, and told me if I ever
lid the like again that Sister Margaret
would have to kill me. On a day of the
retreat of the Catholic Priest-1, some o!
whom were in Allegheny with the Bishop.
L took the opport'init toe-cape from th
P
ialaee, (for the girls in the palace nevtir
ot out, only in the back yard.) in the.
oilowiug manner : I rang the Bi-hon s
lOiiowiiig manner : l rang tlie ii-liop
bell, the servant came up and asked i'
tho Bishop had got home. I sai l ye-
and then pulled the wire that loads, from
the front door to the Bi-hop's room, and
ran down to tlie front door, as if to an
swer tho call, when I opened the door
and ran into the street, and met a ladv,
(who afterwards informed mc she wii.
Mrs. B.,) and asked her if she was a
Catholic; she said no, aud asked mc wh
1 wanted to know. 1 told her I had ju-t
run away from the palace, and wanted
her to find mo a place. She took me to
Aud row Martin's where I remained two
week, when Mrs. Martin's mother took
me to Mr. Miller's in Allegheny city.
One day during tho time I was at the
palace, the servant girl and I were going
through the subterranean passage leading
Irom the palace to the church, where
there is a trap door, which we both got
at and lifted a little; it was so heavy We
could not lift it entirely up. When wc
lifted it, tho smell of stench that cann
out was terrible I asked the servant
girl, who-e name was B. 11., what made
-ueh a smell. She told mo it was old
meat; but I told her I did not believe it,
but insisted on knowing what it was; she
then said it was tho Sister's dead babies
that were thrown in there, and the priests
were tho fathers of them. When I would
cry to this girl, aud say I was afraid o!
the Bishop, ou that account, she said that
was nothing, as she slept with Father
McMahan all the time at night, and that
Bishop O Connor had to do with her iu
in the library. For this reason I ran a
way. her
