ON KNVWItoTUJLIKiISM.
It is but a few years etnce (he Anti-Ma.
sonic organization iff Pennsylvania found
its beat lriend and absorbing all/ in tbe
Whig party, and hostility to secret political
societies formed a part of the practical Whig
faith, lfother tmafi parlies based on or.e idea
had not been in the same manner swallow
ed op by the Opposition party of the country (
we might have found some natural affinity
between the Conservative party of the re
public and that smair faction which was
very nervously afraid of „those secret political
associations Which were supposed to be
modeled after tiie revolutionary Jacobin
Clubs of France.
Censerrativism Is afraid of every thing
which appeals' to the mass of the people,
and would exeite, agitate or revolutionize.
The sriatocats of Europe have ir. the past
century spent more treasure than would buy
a kingdom, and sacrificed more men than
would be needed to defend a hundred hon
est republics, (o prevent agitation and keep
in check the "turbulent masses."
But in this day we find that the ortly se
cret political association which ex isl* in the
republic supf-oste the candidates of the Whig
party I And now that Apposition which
was lately so boisterone against Free Ma
sons, forma a congenial alliance with the.
"Know-Nothings." But his the fate of an
Opposition parly to be inconsistent, for its
province is not to captivate by (he enuncia
tion of correct politicaL principle*, •or the
wise and economical management of the
public business ; but too ppost whatever may
be proposed and whoever may be in power.
Its province is not to create, to beautify er to
ereol; but to deface, defame and destroy-
And as practice makes perfect, the long ex
eroiseof tbe opposition has made its follow
ers proficient in their vocation. An admin
istrative party must have its policy and its
principles, while an Opposition may be, and
most generally is, made up of discordant
elements, who agree only in the one point of
opposing ; and would fall to pieces the mo
ment it come into power and was required
to propose and adopt measure* of public
pulley. The Opposition then may link to
itself any faction or party, and srgo the
" Know Nothings."
This association owe* its origen to Ned
Huntline and George LipparJ, and professes
no other than political purposes ; such, of
course, as we may suppose them to have
entertained, for it is ttcrtl and we can only
judge the tree by its fruit. A secret associ
ation like this ha* always in its novelty and
mystery an attraction to inexperienced young
men, and many enter it without reflection,
arid without foreseeing the effect ot such a
*>ep npott their political views. 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,> - <!•..* -.•-y „ v ,w t

are assessed as selling liquor.

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.

that is to makto government rafuod duties

ry to see theWhJ^ry. highest men in
our country a few years ago, are u) the head
of tit is ungenerous, Ind io nie; dfdh onorab le
and uujustiflaße set. There are several hx-
Governorahnd : Ex-member* of Coop rase
who are paid y Railroad companies large
sum* in advance for homing, and should
they soctfeed In their purpose, then each
company is tot pay them five per cent, on all
duties remitted—the worst of tbe business is
that these borers ate all Wbigs. It would
seem the boot is now on l' other log. This
can be explained in following way; a few
yhars ago when poliuos ran mad, we were
told that unlers we elect a Whig Governor,
and to Whig Congressman, the country
would sure as fate be Kruinsiand in
deed once a jVrar, just before the election it |
was—provided you believe lliem, actually j
"rutnrd." These men are now Railroad I
■Stock Speculators, tehees hue and cry (boa f
was ruin. They had nothing to do with j
Railroad Stock at that lime, but at this they j
have discovered the lower the tariff the bet,
ter for them, because they can make mora
in dabbling in Stock Speculations, than fol
lowing a fair and a legitimate business. 1 t
heard since I am here, thai one man made i
tn one year, over five hundred thousand doi- j
lars out of these stocks ; and others of the j
same sort spent thirty thousand dollars to se- !
cure a seat iu this House. j
There ia but Otoe way in my opinion to |
aatch these chaps, that is, when they stab at )
os we must defend ourselves, by moving in
a body and endeavor to pot upon the free
hst, sugar; syrup of sogar, rioe, &e. We
have cooled them off several times in this
way. Rich men don't want aid from the
Government; it ia Ihe poor who want Legis
lation. If therefore you take the duly off of
Iron, it is not only treating Pennsylvania
■•justly, but yau RKke the rich richer,
whilst you add nothing to the comforts of
the poor. But when you reduce the duly on
the necessaries of life you assist those who
need, assistance, for every man, woman attd
child in the country use them both as uec- '
cessaries of life. 1 would If driven to it in
aell-defenqe, but only in self-defence, go fur
iher. I would strike a blow at the cotton in
terests. "Wlist is Sauce for the Goose is
Sauce for the Gander." "You kill my 'Dug'
I'll kill your 'Cat," are all worn out proverbs
—kiff, nevertheless, applicable hate. 1 for
got when speekiug about Sugar to say that
some $15,QU0,000 annually is the duty paid
on it by the people of the United States j
most of which conies out of tbe puckers of I
the poorer classes. I have iu my possession 1
documents to prove that the capital invested t
in tha manufacture of this article, produces j

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. He shonld be
freh lo TO judge of the constitutionality and !
wisdom of N proposed law after haviog FOL- !
ly examined and considered its provisions. -
Yery respectfully, your ob't.

MILTON, May 30, 1854, <
' Gentlemen— Your communication in ref- ,
1 erence to • prohibitory Law has been tecei- .
ved, and in reply, I say that the constitution
' ality of a prohibitory Law similar in iu es- J
seniial features to the one referred to in your I
inierrogatoriet, haviug received a judicial
determination by the highest Court* of suv.
oral of our sister Stales, and the principle
1 having been recognized by the Supreme
I Court of tbe United Slates, I am relieved
| from the responsibility of a first decision. —
These Contra having affirmed the conttiiu-
I lionahly of a prohibitory law, aud being of
j the highest authority, 1 believe upon princi
. pie and authority, such a law to be JO outfit U
tiona); and its constitutional! ty, in my opin
ion, would not be affcciD by E submission
of its repeal to A vote of the people.
Every measure of moral or political re
form, sanctioned by the representatives of
the people, within the limite of tne' Consti
tution, should receive nty official sanction,
| The expediency and propriety of such laws j
i are for the people, though their representa
' live* ; and their will constitutionally declar
cd,should be respected by the Executive, —.
If Ihe people deuiaud, and their represeuta
live enact such a law, their will should no l
I be resisted by the exercise of tbe veto pow
-1 er—A power purely conservative and only to
be exercised in cases clearly constitutional
or exhibiting indubitable evidence of hasty, ■
injurious anl imperfeot legislation. Such!
1 being my views ol official duty in the prem

al exponents ol popular will, enact such a J

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. During the war
in 1819, a Russian regiment Iras exposed to
. a most murderous fire from a Hungarian
battery which might have a'together avoid

right, whera tha ground waa lower.. Tha
circumstance was pointed out to lite colonel,
