The Gold Movenment. The receipts of gold from California during the last twelve months have amounted in round numbers to fifty-three.million of dollars.. The export from the port of New York during the . same period has been about thirty six millions and a half : thus leaving a balance in the coun try of sixteen millions and a half: Subtracting from the specie in the New York banks the amount held in the name of Senor Aranjoez, and which ought not to enter into a calculation of this nature, it will be found that the banks hold over a million less, specie now than they did this time last year. The $16,500,000 re tained in the counts has not therefore gone into their hands. It has passed into the Trea sury and been scattered throughout the coun try; a large portion is held in private hands, or hoarded up by wealthy men, or used for the purposes of trade. This amount is considera bly less than the usual annual absoption of gold. From the Ist of January, 1849, to the Ist of January, 1854, the excess of our imports of gold over our exports was $108,000,000 being at the rate of $21,600,000 per annum. The progress of the gradual absorption of gold is shown in the following figures. In 1820, it is estimated_ that all the specie in the country on ly amounted to thirty-seven millions of dollars From that date to the discovery of California the mines yielded about as much again we imparted $252,000,000, and exported $168,000,- 000, leaving some 572,000,000 gain; and thus on the Ist of January, 1849, there was in the country about $122,000,000 of specie. Out of this amount the banks held some fifty millions. From 1849 to the beginning of the present year, the mines yielded *194,3631117, and we import ted $26,508,774. We exported during the same period $112,695,574; thus leaving in the country sm the Ist of January, 1854, $230,589,- 502 in specie, which has since been increased to something like $239,000,000. Of these two hundred and thirty nine millions of dollars, the banks hold about one - fourth. Allowing twelve for the share of New York t .three for Boston, and eight for New Orleans, the other banks in the United States are supposed to contain about thirty - seven millions of specie; giving a total of bank specie of sixty millions of dollars. The national treasury holds some twenty-seven mil lions; and the balance is in private hands, part in money and part in jewels,plate, &c. The Way to do It We consider the defeat of Gov. Bigler a fixed fact. He eat on the fence with reference to then Nebraska infamy and the Prohibitory law, until the people have determined to nail him down to his position, and leave "him alone in his glory," as a warning and example to all fir tore political trimmers. He has ;stained that Lager Bill in his pockets, until the pantaloons and their owner have become odious to the 100. ral and patriotic portion of our community.— He has truckled to political Jesuitism, until Americans, at least, suspect and repudiate him as unfit to govern this glorious Commonwealth. We therefore repeat that his overthrow is cer tain. But hoW is it to be done? We reply, a gain of one hundred and thirty votes in eachcoun ty, as compared with the Gubernatorial vote of 1851, will secure the election of Judge Pollock. If the opponents of Nebraska, Lager Beer, Jes uitism, promiscuous Pardons, Sio., in any coun ty in Pennsylvania don't intend to do this, and more that this, let them send word to Old Dau phin, Greeting ! and we will make up the de ficiency. We gave Gov.Johnaton in 1851, just what he deserved, the largest majority ever given to a candidate for Governor in this coun ty: but our Democratic brethern have conclu ded to punish Gov. Bigler's non-committalism, by asking at least 500 for Judge Pollock, and if the increase should be 1000, we can't help it. But let no county be satisfied with a gain of 135. We can not only elect Judge Pollock, but we can do it by such an overwhelming majority, as to ternly trucklers to Slavery, bad beer and Jesuitism for years totome. Shalt it be done 7—Pennsylvania Telegraph. Know Nothingism in Washington There appears to be some truth in the rumor respecting the establishment of a newspaper in Washington, to advocate American doctrines. It is said that some twenty four of the most in fluential and wealty gentlemen of Washington have agreed to advance $5OO each to put such a paper in operation, an 'that they have offered the editorial, department to a gentleman of political and editorial experience, who has the proposition under consideration. ,The prospec tus of the new paper is not yet published, but it is said it will appear during the coming week and wb are informed that a very extensive pat• ronage has been ensured both as to subicrip tions and advertisements. It is to be called "The American Organ." Whigreand Democrats will unite in its establishment, and a democratic native will be selected as the Editor. In this connection we may add that about one-third of the Senators of the United States, and about eighty members of the House of Representa tives are said to be members of the Know Nothing order, nod that they have resolved to lay aside all other party considerations, and unite in an effort to purify our constitution by means of this organization. Sale of a White Woman. A Sale of a free whintwornan was recently made at Freemausburg, Lehigh county. The parties have been residents of that place for some time, are natives of Germany, and the transaction consisted in a man disposing of his wife to another man for the sum of one dol. lar. The parties were represented as being of intemperate habit..

Allentown, Pa. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6,1854. FOR GOVERNOR ' JAMES POLLOCK, Of Northumberland County. FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER GEORGE DARSIE, Of Allegheny County. FOR JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT. DANIEL M. SMYSER, Of Montgomery County. The Agricultural Fair. We are glad to see that much interest is felt in the approaching Fair of the Lehigh county Agricultural Society. Many who offered noth ing last year are preparing to compete for . the premiums this year. Numbers who did not visit the Fair last year intend doing so this year, and everything seems to indicate that there will not only be a full attendance, but that the number of articles entered for premiums will be much larger than it was before. We have seen, ourselves many evidences of the good effects of the last fair and we believe that if all the profitable results flowing from it could be brought together and spread before the people, every body would be astonished at them. Ma ny farmers have been stirred up to improving their lands, to reclaiming their exhausted and worn out fields, and to adopting new systems of farming in advance of the old. The ingen uity and skill of mechanics have been put to the task to turn out the best and most hand some specimens of their handicraft, as well as to Invent new plans for directing their oper ations. We 'anticipate much pleasure in mark ing the advance made at the next Fair. In the mean time, it behooves the citizens of this place to see that the most ample and complete arrangements should be made for the accommodation of those who may wis'a to be present at the Fair. The arrangements at the last Fait were not sufficient, but not so many visitors were expected. Now, we believe, accommodations will be provided for all. At team, we know that oar hotel keepers intend to be prepared to accommodate a much larger •number than they could last year. 4i. If WillianOigler• Should be elected Governor, no new Banks will be created, the currency will be good, and the country will be prosperous and happy, so says the "Hoyiestown Democrat." How will this kind of talk agree with many of our Bank asking Democrats in Allentown? They aell us, howev er, that if we reelect Gov. Bigler, he will prom_ ise to sign a Bank charter f9r s us. Might not our Allentown Democrats have(a "privir letter" from the Governor to that effect, as thEt speak with so much confidence, these "private letters" of the governor and making him trouble. Judge ing however, from the signs of the times, William Bigler will have but little trouble with agning Banksbills next winter, and may'engage his time writing out "manifests" for his raftmen, a post to which he is probably better fitted. Robbers in Catasauqua On Friday night, a burglar was in the act of breaking into the dwelling house, of Mr. Jonas Snyder, in Catasauqua, but was chased away by his sons giving the alarm. About a year ago, this same house was entered by burglars, and thirty dollers in money, and half dozen sil ver spoons stolen, and five weeks since, anoth er attempt was made, which was (metre. ted. This being the third time within a year, that attempts have been made, to v enter Mr. Snyder's dwelling. Lehigh County. The "Doylestown Democrat" says, the gallant Democracy of Lehigh county are united to a man, and are going it with a perfect rush, for Bridges and the Et*, ticket. The "Democrat" heads the proceedings of the late meeting in large and cols. spicuous letters thus: "Great Roar from Le high." "The DOrnocracy moving for Bigler, Mott, Black, Bridges, States Sovereignty and SelfiGovernment." "Speech of Col. Bridges and able Resolutions passed." The JacksonDeinoc. racy broke loose and in Motion !" "Lehigh will do Better." This we call gassing it to some purpose. In. deed the meeting as we were informed by honest Democrats, was the smallest ever held in the county. Nothing but dissatisfaction was appar ent among the few who were present, as will be seen from the proceedings of another meeting of the Democracy, held in another part of the court ty. The only correct sentence in the notice of the meeting is, that , Lehigh will do Better.' Pol, lock will beat Bigler in Lehigh. Mark our words Mr.. Democrat. "A KnoW Nothing."'— A communication over this signature ap pears in our columns to-day. It is, as will be seen, addressed to our neighbor of the "Demo. crat," and we cannot imagine why it was sent to us, unless our friend refused to publish it, add the author thinking we would give it the light, it deserved. The writer is evidently "A Know Something" in regard to the Constitution of his country. His references to that glorious instru• ment, its framers and defenders, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Sm., and argile ments appear to be well founded upon facts Well he shall be heard, so that our unknown friend may see the good sense he writes, al• though dealt out in a sort of playful way. • A New Borough—On Wednesday last, upon the petition of a number of citizens of Freemans. burg, the Judges of the Court, in this county, incorporated said town into a Borough, under tc t) the name, e le & title of the "Borough of Free mansburg," nferring upon du! citizens there. thereof all the ri lte and prireleges pertaining thereto. We co ratulate our neighbors in their aspirations e their tarn may some day be as large as Easton now is.--Easton Sen. Great Dissatisfaction Our paper to-day contains the proceedings of a large and respectable meeting of Democratic citizens of Lehigh county, held at the House of Henry S. Bush, in the Borough of Ca'asauqua, this county, on the 26th of August, 1854. From the proceedings we are led to judge, that the Democracy of Lehigh are not united to a man" as the Doylestown Democrat would have it. That'hot one word is said in favor of either Bigler or Bridges. The would.be leaders of the party, are charged with resmodeling the resolu tions passed at the meeting on the 19th of Au gust, to suit their purpose. They are alio charg ed with striking from the series, a resolution denouncing the order of "Know Nothings" as a 'secret, rotten, corrupt,unconstitutional and dan gerous society' and cautions all Democrats from joining. We are not at•all surprised at this for we have reason to believe that the Democra cy at the present day principally are ruled by "Know Nothings." Who struck out the 'Know Nothing' resolution passed at the Demo; cratic County Meeting, is now the question? Candidates Withdrawn A Free Democratic Convention was held at Harrisburg on Wednesday, composed of dele gates from various sections of this State. It was determined to withdraw Mr. Potts as their candidate for Governor, and resolutions endorsing Judge Pollock's views on the Slave ry and Temperance questions, as satisfactory, and recommending him to the support of the friends of Freedom and Prohibition, were adopted. The Business of a Newspaper. The New York Evening Post lays down the following correct rules for the management of a new,epaper, which are doubtless the deduce tions of long experience. They were called forth by certain strictures of a correspondent upon the alledged impropriety of spreading be fore the public the daily details of crime.— Such complaints are by no means rare. They comes from one division of the numerous tribe of newspaper censors, who are as diversified in their tastes and inclinations, as they are in their minds and understandings. One set thinks this should not be published, another that; and so on to the end of the ehapte:. But every ed itor knows full well that his duties to the pub lic are not to be squared 5y any such uncer tain and impossible standard. His experience will teach him to agree with the Post, that 'the first business of a newspaper is to publish the news," let it be good or bad—reflecting the bright side of human rhsture, or revealing its darkshades of vice and crime. Without this, our newspapers would louse the greater part of their interest and utility. "The first business of a newspaper is to pub lished the news; the second duty is to com ment appropriately on public matters. For the character of the news ; the second duty is to comment appropriately on public matters. For the character of the news, the public—the au thors of the acts recorded—are responsible. the views of public questions which are taken . —for the principles and measures advocated in the editorial columns—the journal is justly held accountable to the judgment of the coma munity. "We consider that the public have a right to the news of the day; and that it is an implied condition of the subscription to a newspaper, that the paper shall contain all the interesting news which it is practicable to give, unless some good and valid reason exists against its publication. "We believe that a false impression of the true condition of the world, and the consequent necessities of the times, may be as easily pro duced by omitting the'publication of important events, As by the publication of actual false hoods." "The Great and Beautiful in Catholicism." Dr. Schoji; in his letter frdm Europe, as pub lished in the "German Reformed a.r.....4-,e4 - • of Auuest rms, mays, that "for the great and beautiful in Catholicism, the Scotchman, train• ed up in Calvinistic strictness, has no taste whatever." It is manifest -from this letter that by the word "Catholicism," Dr. Schaff means Popery. And hero we have a man clairninvo be a professor and teacher of Prot estant theology, speaking of and admiring the great and beautiful of this mystery of iniquity ! Does he mean the great and beautiful Pope, in his scarlet Vatican, assuming titles of blasphe. my, while grasping at the prerogatives of the Deity ? Does he mean the great and beauti. ful skulls and crosses, saints and sacraments, and all the corrupt doctrines and wild formali• ties of that unhallowed mother of Romish ty, rants? Does he mean the great and beautiful deeds of which Popery has been the origin, disgracing the human race, and staining the pages of Its history—deeds which dyed the streets of Paris with Protestant blood, forged the guillotine, kindled the fires of Smithfield, and raised the scaffold on Tower Hill ; deeds which strewed the Alpine snows with the crai dies of murdered infants, and raised the cairns which now mark the martyr's graves through the hills and glens of Western Europe? Or is it the great and beautiful Jesuitical efforts now put forth in this . free land of America,lo sup press the truth and trample under foot, as dead bodies, the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, God's two living witnesses in the world, and to contaminate the politics and Protestantism of this great Republic? if these are the great and beautiful things of Popery— and we know of none other—which Dr. Schaff ,appreciates and glories in, every true Ameri. can will say, away with such heretical "chat fism," for no lover of republican liberty and true Protestantism can have a taste or relish for acything so common and unclean.—Phil. adelphia Sun.

To the Editor of the Democrat : Sin :—I have been a member of the illustrious Order of Know Nothings ever since I was born. I received my title as an inheritance from my ancestors, as Kings receive theirs, "Lei gratia"—by the grace of God. lam not a member of the political Know Notbings—my -word should be received my friends as soon as yours, both of us disavow. ing any connection with that organization. You have seen proper to make your journal the ve hicle of abuse of the Know Nothings, without a particle of testimony to substantiate what you assert. Why, man alive, don't you know you are attacking the very founders of our g overnt ment, when you write as you do I Geo. Wash. ington, TOM. Jefferson, the Magnus Apollo of the democratic party—(l won't say locofoco, as they didn't belong to that stock, and beside, the word seems to hurt you mightily)—and all the old Fathers of the Republic were the rankest sort of Know Nothings ! If you don't believe it, turn back the•pages of history and read where the Know Ncthings of 1787 established as an unalterable rule, that no man should be a candi date much less electcd, President of the United States, unless he was born in the United States ! Dont you call this full'blooded "Know Nothing. ism?" You may find it in the Constitution of the United States, art. 2', sfction sth, and reads as follows: • ~ N o person, except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President, neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have at tained the age of thirty.five years, and been (already) fourteen years within the United States." Now, sir, you profess to be a strict construe. tionist, and we defy you to gainsay if the Know Nothings of the presetft day are not carrying out the principles cf the Know Nothings of 1787, of which Washington and Jefferson were the Path, ers and prime movers. If you don't like the Constitution of the I.T.pited States, say so, and go in for a change, but stop your silly rantings about those who go for the Constitution as it is—it is good enough forms knericans. Now don't fly into a passion, bat hold on till I read:lrou one or two clauses more from the Constitution of the United States, the charter and text•book of the Know Nothings, in the hope of enlightening you that a certain obscure individ ual, sometimes found in old books, called George Washington, was the princr of Know Nothings, for he put his name, as Prhident of the United States, to the articles I am going to read, as well as to the one I have read you above: Art. 1 sec. 2.—No person shall be a Repre. sentative (in Congress) who shall not have at tained to the age of twenty.ftve years, and been seven years a citizen of the United States." What an ignorant, bigoted, illiberal set of fel. lows the Know Nothings of 1787 must have been to•be-sure! But listen again. how they proscribe the pure, good, enlighened, true republican fig eigners, one of whom, very, near your court, has said "ii is an honor to America that he, and such as he, have come to live in it !" "Art. I. sec. Il.—No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age of thirty years, and been nine years a citizen of the Uni ted States," &c. What a stupid set of Know Nothings they must have been. But . again. 'Art. 1, sec. B.—The Congress shall have pow , er to establish a uniform rule of naturaliza. Sce. 0! the heretics! and Know• Nothings. lint again "Art. 1, sec. 9.—The migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohib ited by the Congress, prior to the year one thou, sand eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importation, not ex ceeding ten dollars for each person." What a set of cracked•bra; ic . __netor•Nt.thitsgs George Washington, Tom. Jefferson, and "them tother fellers" must have been. 'wow, sir, allow me to give you a little whole• some advice, with the hope that you may profit withal : Remember this, sir, that man is not the greatest apostle of liberty who most bitterly de, flounces a society about which he says he 'knows nothing" except from hear say, for the sake of the pay he will get. If you "know nothing," why do you presume to open your mouth against men who are trying to preserve our Constitution free from, and our escutcheon unblurred by, the hands of demagogues, who -would trample our stars and stripes under foot, for the sake of pan. dering le vandal foreigners, jesuits and jacobins, in order to secure their co•uperation at the bal lot box 7 • If you are the patriot and constitution-loving man you profess, in less than three years you will be found acting and voting with this very "midnight association," as you have seen proper to term it. So I tell you, beware. , "Least said is soonest mended"—and the least said now, the less you'll have to take back and repent over then. So I part with you, by singing the line of the old song— "Don't be foolish, Jo." If you are still incorrigible, you shall hear again from A KNOW NOTHING. The Design of the Swindle Henry A. Wise, who has just been nomina ted as the Democratic candidate for Governor of Virginia, says he is in favor of the Nebraska bill because it "repeals the Missouri Compro. mice and fortifies Slavery." That was the kg pose of the swindle, and for that reasoyfide serves and is receiving the execpiti‘n of the people. Nevertheless its ultimate effect may be very different from what its authors design ed. if Kansas shall be 'saved to Freedom ]- as it may be—and if Nebraska shall, as is quite probable, become ,a Free State by general con sent, Slavery will have been but miserably "fortified" by this outrageous enactment. The encouragement of free emigration to Kansas is now the great leading practical duty of the North. If this duty is effectually discharged the discomfitted propagandists will howl with rage in less than twelve month.

He has a certain natural delicacy in the midst of his coarseness, which contrasts very favorably with the beer.drinking rudeness of the labourer of some countries nearer the meridian of Green wich, and a remembrance of gootl, treatment, which ensures his master against "strikes," as long as he does not strike first.

Demooiatto Meeting. At a public meeting of the Democrats of Le; high couniy,lield at the house of Henry IL Bush; in Catesauqua, on the Saturd4 evening,the 26th of August, on motion the following . gentlemen were elected officers of the meeting, Dainties NULP, President, 'William Biery, Augustus W.

Bush, Aaron Lambert, Aaron Bast, Vice President and Esaias Behreg, Sec. retary. The object of the meeting having been stated,. the following gentleman were appointed a tom" mime to draft resolutions expressive of the sen timent of the meeting to Wit: William Gross, G. Washington Bough, John Gross, S o l omon , fiery and John W. Knouss. Said Committee after full and deliberate consultation reported the following preamble and resolutions, which we're unanimously adopted., WinosAs a county meeting of the Democrats of Lehigh County, was called on Saturday are 19th day of August last, at the Public House of Simon Moyer, in South Whitehall, township, and whereas in our opinion, the proceedings of said meeting were unjust, unfair and contrary to the usages of the Democratic. party. Therefore be it by the true Democratic citizens of the County of Lehigh, in public meeting assembled, at the House of Henry H. Bush, in the Borough of Cat. asauqua, unanimousli. Resolved,—That the proceedings of said Colin, ty meeting are contrary to the principals of the Democratic party, that a foul and premeditated wrong has been commitied upon the able and worthy Representatives lion. Wm. Fry and Da` vid Laury Esq., by said county meeting not pas. sing the usual resolutions approving of their course during the last session of the Legislature. Reso/eed,—That we rejoice that said wrong was not committed by the Democrats of the County of Lehigh, but by certain office seekers and office holders, residing at Allentown, who claim to be democrats and who came to the County meeting with numbers large enough to carry a majority for any resolution they might propose. Rem/ea.—That we deprecate, despise and in. terly repudiate (as any part of the custom of the Democratic party) the method pursued by cep' twin persons, of packing said meeting and dril• ling and turning out their forceS privately, so as to carry out their own selfish ends, that Allen ton is not Lehigh county, and that the democrats of Allentown are not the whole Democratic par. ty of the County of Lehigh, and that had the Democratic party of the county of Lehigh been aware of their•ohject they would have turned out in their might and given them a signal defeat. Resolved,—That we heartily approve of the course pursued by our able Representative lion. %Vin. Fry, and David Lauri Esq , that we deem the course pursued by them, honorable and con. sistant, and such as strict honestly and•inlegrity and a true Democratic regard for their oaths as Legislature would dictate, and that they are Cu. titled to the thanks of the Democratic party. Resolecd,—That the proceedings of the Demo. cretin party, in county alerting assembled.ought to be such that no Democrat should be ashamed or afraid to make public, that certain resolution were passed at said meeting calling the society of "Know Nothings" a rotten,corrupt,secret on• constitutional and dangerous association, and warning all true Democrats, to be on their guard against them, that other resolution were passed and among them one directing the resolutions of said meeting to be Published in all the Demo^ cratic papers of the county. That said resolu. tion against the •`Know Nothings" and others passed by said meeting have been suppressed and not published, that the said resolution against the ..Know Nothings" meets with our hearty ap• proval and comments, and we call aeon the of. liners of said meeting to inform us by what- au thority, and for what reason said resolution and others were not published, and whether the ac. tion of a Democratic county meeting, is to be re vised, and if so, whether it is at the option of the printers, to publish just such portions of the ac... tions or a Democratic meeting as may salt their own views. Resolved ,—T ha t these resolutions ,be publish ed in tha.Allentown Democrat, Friedensbote and Independent Republican. kits Renato, Secretary. August 25th, 1834. . Wonderful Preservolion.—A writer in the Dos. ton Recorder, as an illustration of Providential care, relates the following marvellous incident, and vouches for it as authentic: ELIAH BOCDINOT, founder of the American Hi.. ble Society, was returning in his chaise to his home late in a dark night from a court he had been attending many days. He did not know that a. recent freshet had carried away all the planks from the long bridge that lay in his ac., customed path. Therefore he drove right on as though there were a bridge there, and reach.. ed home safely. His friends inquired by what road he came. •The usual road," he replied.— "Impossible," said they, "there are no planks on the bridge." -He persiated, and they, trembr ling for his sanity, eagerly went with him next morning early to survey. When arrived they found the very tracks of the carriage at either end of the bridge and on the sleepers, and the very footprints of his horse on a central sleep er. There was no more to be said ; sanity sod veracity were both safe. Some power had pre. sided over the instinct of that horse. had ordain ed the correspondence of those wheels withkept h the sleepers over which they passed, and man in ignorance of his danger. Was that pow er fate or chance I Severe.—The Bradford Reporter is quite severe on the third address of the. democratic state cen tral committee. We were afraid that nothing would'be gained by the mild tone of the address in the northern counties, but we did not antici pate that any democratic papers there would as sail the chairman and the addres s as the Repot.. to has done. We are %sorry thaSa difference of opinion should exist, in our ranks, in relatiois to the Nebraska bill; such however seems to be the case ; but surely there is nothing In the tone or t'fie temper 61 6 the address that should offend a. demod"rat in any section alba state.--Democrag ie Union.
