Many oth ers hear a great deal about fraternity and brotherhood, and appreciating these eleva ted sentiments with a heart more warm than the head is clear, fotm thH new connection without ever asking themselves what they' intend by it. So far as its oharacter is developed this association has not in it either ilia benefi cial features of Odd Fellowship or the high moral and intellectual proposes of Masonry.. Its aim is only political, and it) that it is il liberal, suspicious and unrepublican. < It is illiberal because it proposes to nar- , row and restsict the rights of suffrage and elsjibijiiy to office, and to confine these lights lot pellicular class of citizens. It is suspicious, because it marks for pro- j f-ription the class of foreign born and Cath olic American citizen* before tbey have as such class given any cause to believe that they are less devoted than any other men to our republican institutions. In the whole history of America, nq Catholics ever pre sumed to interferrrso far in their religious • haracter with the political affairs of the re public a* those NcW England Protestant clergymen who protested before the Amer ican Congress "iu the name of Almighty God." The roan who becomes an Ameri can citizen from choice and conviction is not to be presumed a worse republican than he who becomes such by birth. It is unrepublicac., because it refuses e quahty of political rights, without basing ■hat distinction or inequality upon the char acter or conduct ol tho citizens to enjoy them, but upon the accident of Birth and th* creed of religion. In a republic of ftee Speech and free press es there exists no necessity for steel political associations. Open and manly discussion is tbe basis of republicanism, and a Jesuitical Know-Nothing society seema more proper to the age when 'hire king could do no wrong," when men dared not hate a politi cal faith, and the Pope was infallible, than to the age of fight and the )and of freedom When mind is free to think and lodgvte as free to speak, only those whose deads are evil need love (he darkness rather than the tight. ' v,> - -r HP" In Tioga county only six merchants are assessed as selling liquor. .. 'r. 1 ■ y- a— ■ They agree that a prohibitory liquor law woold not Be unconstitutional because U tsat prohibitory j and neither of thorn would re fuee to eitß.it on that eeeeoet U passed by the legislature. Both agree that a vonaof tho people could not impair the eosAilmionatity lh . B . lsw makin Power w . Certainly if the legislature has aright to rutricl, h has a right to prohibit the sale of ifcjunr. If the pnblio welfare justifies one act it may also the other. By natural right all men may sell liquor; and if the necess*- itv of civil society can take this right from all batten men' in a county it certainly can take II from tnOse ten. But there is one point in the letter of Gov ernor Bigler which is especially commend able In this age of demagogueism. He says he will not object to a prohibitory law be cause it it prohibitory, but that, before he can grant or w ilhhold his asset)! from the delaih of any bill he must first see what that law is. This is manly and frank ; and if Judge Pollock means to go further then this, or if hid interpreters design to color his letter end meke it mean that he .would if elected, sign any prohibitory law without asking anything about its detail* or provisions except that it was a prohibitory liquor law, we say he and his friends go 100 far and leap in thedaik It that is their construction it is mote like a hid for votes than the enuueiation of princi ples. i A Governor may be willing to sign laws chartering corporations, but he will not sign tliern with such provisions and details as shall be oiearlv unconsthutional or provoking fraud upon the public from the institution so char tered. Nor can ha be asked in fairness to say before be sees these laws whether be will s them or net. He can enly speak in adyance as to the geueral principle. The quesuou of a prohibitory law is be fore the people for a vote in October. That vote will decide the issue, and the friends of prohibition are confident of success. It is to be regretted that when assembled in State Convention they did nol "perfect their bill, and then the candidates might have been in terrogated to the point, and could have known what law it was they were question ed about.

HABIID.BURU, June 6 1854 GENTLEMEN J have been honored by | the receipt of your communication of the 18th ult., propouudingto raecertain questions touching tbe subject of a I'rohibitojy Liquor Lttw. To your first inquiry I reply that the Su ! preme Court of the State have repeatedly held, and 1 can ooncor in the dpulrine, (hat the Legislature can exercise all law-making power riot expressly forbidden by the State or Federal Constitution. Under'this con. strnetion, I believe the legislature have au thority to control the manufacture and sale of spirituoua liquors, but to the use of that power, it must be obvious that a law might be passed, which, in its details, would be a manifest violation of Ihe Conalitutian, and hence the impoasibility of answering your question distinctly, without saeiug the exact terms of the proposed law. I Aa to the second point in the inquiry, it must be very clear that tbe law, constitu tional in itself, would not be rendered oth erwise by allowing the people to decide by : vote whether tha Legislature should repeal it or not, no matter what that vote might be. ! To your second inqury I answer that IF sincerely deplore the evils of Intern pennies, and am now willing, as I been, to sanction any proper measure tw mitigate, and, if possible, to entirely remove the vioe btit I cannot pledge myself td sanction a law the details of, which I hive not seen. — The tends of the Constitution and oath of | office would seem to forbid this course' ON the part of the Executive.

Character of Russian Soldier*.— An Aus trian officer of rank, who had many oppot lunilies of seeing the Russians in action, speaks in the highest possible terms of the sloioal courage which they display. One great fault of their system, however, is, that' little or no discretionary power is left to the subordinate commanders, and the oon se quence is, that innumerable itves are unne cessarily sacrificed during a campaign, aim ; ply because the instructions issued must be i executed (q tire vary letter.
