STAR OF R. W. WEAVER, EDITOR. tttooreabUTH, Tharsday July 10, 1835. FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER, ARNOLD PLUME R, or VENANGO COUNTY, Ike Colombia Coal and iron Company. At the last session of our Legislature a law was paaaed authorizing t the chartering of a company by the above natno, with a capital pf five hundred thousand dollars, and if deem ed necessary by the members of the compa ny 10 catty out the object of the corporation, r may be increased two hundred and fifty ihou •and dollars more; to hold not exceeding at anyone time three thousand acres ol land in Columbia and Moatour counties. We understand that a portion of the stock baa been taken by reliable capitalists, who expect to organize the Company the present month, and as soon after'as possible, com •meoce making the necessary improvements, to mine and convey to market the coal from M'Cantey mountain. This mountain is located in Beaver to/wit-, -dhip, this county, and contains as m'iclv eoal to the superficial area, as has ever been dis covered elsewhere. The both red and white ash, are esteemed by all who have used nhem, as superior to any either Lehigh or Schuylkill. it will require hnly abont throe miles of railroad to connect the mines with the Catta wisra, Williams port and Erie rail road; and thence the cool can be delivered to the iron manufacturers nnd other consumers ofihis and Montour countios, and in fact to the ex tremity of the West choapcr than from any other coal district In the State. This the Company will bo enabled to do, by the peculiar and advantageous situation f the cool. The vast deposit of codsix'y feci in depth or thickness is oti and near the summit oi tho mountain. A tunnel can be drove in,to the bot tom of the basin, through which the coal can te taken out,l the samo time affording an outlet for any water that may accumulate in the mines, rhus avoiding the outlay for put ling up, end expeuso ol maintaining engines, pumps, &c. "Columbia comity, containing such vast and rich deposits of coal, iton ore and limestone, is dostined, to become ono of tho wealthiest counties i:i the Stale. All we want is capital and enterprise. We aro informed this Com pany possesses both, and wo may congratu late ourselves that there is now a prospect ol our hitherto too much neglected wealth being made available, and tho stockholders of the Company richly reimbursed for any invest ments made. The follow ing if the act of incorporation: AN ACT to Incorporate the Cotumtin Coal ■and Iron Company. Beit enacted, !fc., That Charles B. i'enrone, Lee W. Buffington M. D. and John C. Sims, or a majority of them and their associates, successors, and assigns, be and they aro here by creeled and constituted, a body corporate ■nd politic, by the name, stylo andtiiloofthe Columbia Coal and Icon Company,Tho Cap ital stock of which CompsDy, shall be five hundred thousand dollars; with the privilege of increasing the same, in tho sutT! of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars more ; 30d the said Company may hold not exceed ing throe thousand acres of land at any ono time in (he countios of Columbia and Mon tour, and the said Company shall havo the same powers, liberties, privileges, and immu nities, and bo subject to the same terms and conditions, as are imposed on tho Anlbara cite Iron Company passed the Iwonty-fifth day of May 1839, and the said Company, are hereby further authorized to employ, such portion of their capital as may be necessary, in tnining coal, constructing rail roads, and in transporting to matkst and in vending the produce of their lands, and mines, and in dealing in such articles of personal property as may be necessary tocr.ablo them success fully to cairy on their operations. Provided-. That the said Company shall pay to the Commonwealth a tax of ono half of one per centum, on its capital stock, in fivo annual instalments. The first whereof shall bo paid before this act shall go into effect. Judge Itnlrd. It appears that the Know Nothings woro' "sold" last fall, when they supported Titos. H.

In a rcccnl lettor lo tho l'itlsburgh Dispatch, be disowns all connection with tho order, re marking : "It will give mo great pleasure to act in harmony of purposo with them—as 1 believe the great body of them aro truo Am oi lcans—but I cannot join thoir aocret conclaves, or yield my action, as a citizen, to the con trol of a society, when my political obligation is 10 the whole country.''

However if he gets through tho dog-days we shall still shine, and the Standing Commiiteo will be able to stand it. l'oot fellow! To show how tabid he is it V* only necessary to observe that in his fury anil mental hallucination ho delusively ima gines Daniel Loe the Chairman of the Stand ing Committee, while that gentleman it not anil has not within the yeas been even u member of the Committee. The Colonel is so far gone that the poor fellow actually don't know whom he is fighting; ami visions of our friend Daniel rise in his mom.ory from last j fall's contest and ho lots Vive. Well, an evil conscience is a'.wp.ys troubled with vis ions of its wickc'tin&gs in the past.

No doubt tho Colonel would put Daniel I and the Star in the lion's den or the fiery far nace—if he could. In his severe mania du ring last year's dog-dujs tho spirit of evil prompted him to boar false lostimony—rav ing that his neighbor had joinod the Know- Nolhiugs in Philadelphia at a time when the man was in Bloomtburg, and which proved to be Sunday! The Know-Nothings woro shocked at die blunder of thoir tool and we know ono of them who sworo '• that non-/ sense must be stopped." " No wonder tho Colonel don't like the op- | orations of the Democratic patty in this coun ty. Hp could not make it go for Hubloy and ' Cameron at Willismsport, although ho (lung ■ out the Ilublcy flag to ibo breeze with a tri- ' urn pliant shout, lio could not prevouyjie ' Standing Committee from sending Mr. Rout j to the Stato Convonlion in 1851, when tho ' Colonel ktul his aids raised the famous con- j venlion of seven to butcher poor Roat, and , that convention Llowcd itself up, while a sub sequent /id/convention of tho people endorsed and confirmed tho appointment of Mr. Roat j by the Standing Committee, and he took his ' teat in the Stale Convention. That was a timo 1 too when Judges of the Supreme Court and ! other officers of importance were to ho nom- 1 inated, and when a Canal Commissioner had j some power and influence. Tho Main Lino was not then, as now, to be sold, nor tho North Branch Extension taken from the Ca nal Board. But the party of the county did not go for tho Colonel for Canal Commissioner, nor lor Revenue Commissioner, nor for delegato to tho Slate Convention, nor allowed him to control tho formation of die county tickets, and thcrcforo he determines it shall have a 1 general blowing up—i( ho can do it. He | begins at tho Standing Committee, beeauso the whole party is rather to much for even his military valor to attack at once. What, he a Democrat ! A man who don't know who is Chairman of die Democratic Standing Committee—who twice within the past two years opposed tho Democratic tick et—two years ago supported the Whig can didate and last year the Know-Nothing vol unteers ! A pre'ty Democrat truly! Why Simon Cameron himself is a belter one.— yVd warrant Simon kr.ows who is the Chair- : man o( 'ho Standing Commiiteo both in bis county atli! in.'"' No wonder we lately caught n Whig lawyer hf ihe Prothonotary's ofltco coaxing a client who "fid he intended to advertise in the STAR to £'" ve advertise ment not to a "d—d Loco-tod" ' hut to the j man of the Democrat who waa"ntJ '.odp-joco to hurt." Wo shall try to deserve all sf'th I compliments. For the past years the Demo-I crat has done all the dirty work of tho Whigs j and Know-Nothings, which they were asha- ' mod to do themselves; and it deserves its ! pay from them But by tho time their load- j eri suffer ns much from Its malicious and ' Uiercena-y propensities as the Democrats 1 have tht'y will be like the Frenchman who j won the elephant at a raffle—they wontj know whet to do with tho aniulul. If tho S'unding Committee had appointed llio Colonel as delegato tvery thing would no doubt havo been right— except that he woulJ hnvc ben voted out of the Stato Con vention along with Ferrco and Reel for hav ing supported Know-Nothing'landirintes and opposed Democratic nominees. They wore voted out for having supported one —ho had gone for three; nnd in tho hot campaign of last fail, when Bigler and Wright were struck down, he never said or printed a word against the now parly. No doubt tho Know-Nothings would havo boon delighted if tho Standing Commiiteo had called a county convention, and are very cross because no cbsnco was given them lo instigate strilo and division in the Democrat-, to ranks. Tho Democrat proves that fact.— Its masters aro mad. They wanted to find a number of defeated and disappointed dele gates in the several townships whom they could lap on the shoulder and convince how badly they had been treated in the DTFB- cratic ranks, with the offer of better they would turn lo be Know-Nothings. They were ready to practice tho art of tho old spir it of evil who tempted for homage with tho promise of the whole world when the poor devil had not a foot of it to giro. It wohUI have been a fine field for mischief, and tbe Standing Committee, after full consultation with best Democrats of the county, did like the Commitioe of last year, when there was no complaint at such action, and when thore was even a Governor to bo nominated. They did like Iho Standing Committees of Mon tour, Luzerne, end in fact onq half tbe coun ties of tho Stato this year, and disappointed the instigators ol mischief. Lei these rave who are M.

To the hakior of human nature it is Iron that all men are over-credulous to }ho honied and seduoing word* of promise in man. Tho evanescont strength of Know-Nothiogism laid in this trado upon the credulity and generos ity of frail human nature. Whatever evils men complained of in society theso men promised lo remedy. Whatovor wrongs there waro in the public policy they promised to : reform. They offered as certain cures for all | ailmonts of the body politic as tho vender of patent pills offers for the ills of tho human system. Mwn who thought all men an hon i est as themselves bought—and were sold. Others fell into the net from itching ambi tion; and like Themistocles ol old betrayed the causo of the people ; but when the time came fo: arming against the good old causo and leading on the fray the weapon foil from the nerveless grasp; and the Persians must lead themselves if Greece is to bo attacked. Wo remember right well the shout of joy that went op all overlhe Stato when BENJA MIN H. BREWSTER was welcomed as an apos tate by his old enemy, and how the revenues of three provinces were sot apart for him— when they should once ho taken. He was tempted with the promise of the United States Senalorship. He had been disappointed in his aspirations in the Democratic party, and had seen demagogues in some of its high places. He was brilliant, enthusiastic and ambitious—ho was sorely tempted and ho fell. Yet has ho not been lost. Ho has scon how the painted liesh pots in tho Soerot Coun cil were filled only with husks, and ho comes back in tho spirit of troe repentance to warn tho brethren of his father's household and of ( his early faith. Ho was invited by the KnowNothiiigs to address them at Reading on the past lth of July, and in answer sent tho following matt- | ly and ruodert letter ol declination: SATURDAY EVESINC 23d June, 1855. j t York Buildings, Walnut st., I'hil'a. j MY DEAR Sm ; —I rccoived your letter to day. I cannot accept your invitation—l do sire to tako no aclivw part in politics. Be sides, I feel obliged lo say, that I do not sub scribe lo the doctrines ol the American Par ty, as they havo been pronouncod by the Convention. As I havo before this said, it will be well to correct tho abuses of tho Nat uralization Laws, secure their proper admin istration, ami amend their defect*—further than this lam not prepared to go. To do more would be lo do evil, and tho end is per seculion. It has been the hopo of alt men who valued the right and duty of sufliage, lo correct tho errors of our two great parlies, with relorenco to tho naturalized voters.— But ovils, which af'.or all in a country like this can on'.y bo transient, should not bo remedi ed by subverting tho very foundations of re publican democracy. We must not attempt to check tho abuse of a great principle by trampling the principle itself under foot. Suf frage is a political right, hut as we have hith erto taught and practised, it is a human right due lo a man, bocauso of his manhood. Be ing governed by society, ho may say how lie shall be governed. To regulate this right, would be proper—to abridge ami wholly re. fuse it, would be wrong. To frown down and punish demagogues, who would combine bodies of Naturalized Voters to corrupt and demoralize the Democratic parly, and aluiso the Democratic principle of suffrage, would bo right and just. To prevent by law, the recurrence of those pernicious conspiracies is all that should bo asked—more than that would bo lo make slaves of those men who were prescribed, Btrip them of their manhood, and degrado a republic of Domocrats into a popular despotism. For my part, I never havo thought, and 1 can never bolieve, that it is either wire or jnst lo enurt laws and en courage opinions, that will result in religious or even political intolerance. It is hard enough from tho very infirmities of our na tures, to suffer our individual judgments to be tainted with prejudices arising from differ ences of opinion ; but let us not corrupt our la' v 8 or our political organizations, with the polloD etf roligiotls or political persecution. Such thlilg'A "-""d in tyranny, degrading alike to iho ruler ana (hs rulod—whether the ruler bo n great popular par'v or s monarch, or iho ruled bo a miserable of a wretch ed beaicn down minority, ft is ?■' '"hu man. J Two hundred years og, in tho fury ano i confusion of the Great Rebellion, Milton, that | old blind republican, thus proclaimed the j simpld upon which all rational, all ! legal liberty 1 " ffl'JM depend—" No man who j knows aught, can be so Stupid asm deny that I all men naturally were lorn fict, bemg tho I imago and resemblance ol God himself,"— ' Let us not in our resentment at thnso who j have abused thoir freodom and hurt us, do | that which would violato " religion, liberty, ' honor, safety, all concernments,- divine or human."

Tho Kentucky Stalosman says that : a great Interest was manifested to he*r the ! fim! politics! speeoh of the son of so renown j ed an orator as Ilchry Clay, and a very largo coflcotirso of citizens attended the meeting. 'J'tio speech is given as loilows : • The next gentleman who took the stand was Mr. James 11. Clay, who as we havo al ready remarked, is tho son of the great states man, and has succeeded to the paternal es tate of Ashland. Mr. Clay said that this was his first effort at a public speech, and nothing less than the profound interest which bo fell in the great queatiuns at iseuo, could induce him to ap pear on ibis occasion. Nover before had such extraordinary, such alarming, such nov el questions beon presented for the political consideration of the American people, llis apprehensions were aroused in view of them, and he sometimes trembled fur the fate of tho country,,. The idea that this government was to bo taken into the keeping of a secret, political, oath-bound organization, which set up unconstitutional tcstoutbs, and tho mem bers of which were bound to each other by tho most tcrriblo obligations, was to him most alarming, aud should, in his judgment, arouso tho apprehensions of every patriotic man in tho wholocountry. Mr. Clay denied that the platform put forth by tho lato Know Nothing Convention at Philadelphia, was tho real platlorm of tbe parly—parly did I call them, said he : no, they ate not a party in any proper acceptation of tho term. Parties have heretofore been open, public ar.d above boatd ; but this is a secret, oath-bound, political organization, which is seeking after Iho political power ol iho country, by ways and mentis unknown ! to the law, and in palpablo disregard of thn long-established usages of the peoplo and tho history of tho Government. Il sought political power, not by open and fair moans, but by secret plotting*, by cabalistio pass wotds, by signs and grips, unknown to the people at largo, ami in palpable violation of the wholo spirit aud genius of the Govern ment. No, said he, the true platform of this ex traordinary organization is to bo found in their oaths and ritual. There wero to bo found iho things which they wero sworn to do and to carry out, and looking into theso oaths and the ritual, ho found that their ob jects were to strike at the citizen ot foreign birth, at the immigrants from other countries, to disfranchise, degrade and disgrace them, by depriving them not only of the right to Americanize themselves, hut by rutting them off from the rights of hospitality and human ity. They also sought to disfranchise and Jogrado another class of our citizens, wheth er native born orToreign, on account ofiheir religions opinions, iu plain violation of tho Con.-titntion of the country, and regaidloss of tho plainest dictates of justice-and human' Mr. Cl.iy said thai, rather than submit any extended remarks o( hir ownxm Ibcso sub jects, ho had chosen to collate tho expressed atid authentic opinions of tlur old fathers of I the republic ; and he read extensively from the wrrbgs of Washington, of Jefferson, of i Madison, ol Jackson, of Quincy and others. I Me concluded his happy effort by saying | that, though the old whig parly, with which j lie had always acted, was broken and dis | perscd, yet ho appeared there a3 one of the eld rear guard of that onco powerful and great party ; and iu that capacity he protest oil against this pew organization, as fraught with dangor to his country and its liberties; and ho called upon all tho old liners of the whig party to join him in the protest. Iho Portland It tut. Tho Portland Advertiser contains iho ver dict of tho jury in the case of tho second in quosl on the body ot John Bobbins, shot du j ring tho lute riot in Portland. The jury find that Bobbins camo by his death from a mus | kit ball, fired uithor by a niombor of tho Ri- I tie Guard or soma person aciing as a volun teer, by order and command of Ncal Dow, Mayor of the city ; dial the Rifle Guards were 01,1 under a precept signed by the Stale, ai.J wholly void ; that although the Mayor and sonio J>l 'ho Aldcrmou had reason in tho easly pail 01 Iho to appre hend a disturbance, thoy took no raeens to prevent the assemblage ; and that, in the ear ly stage of the proceedings, a few policemen, aciing in concert, could easily hava dispersed it, and tint tho military, when,they discharg ed their muskets, wore wholly out of sight of tho crowd upon whom they firod,'and who appear to havo had no provions. notice of their proscncaor designs. Tho jury say no proof was furnished of any exigency o.xist ing requiring a resort to such extreme meas ures, and that tho act is without any legal justification or excuse. John Bobbins, they decide, died by felony, and not by mis chanco ; but whether his death was a mur der or a homicide, they leave for Iho State tribunal to decide. We suppose, therefore, thai Dow will be indicted and tried.— Ledger.

The Battles In the Crimen. Since the time of tho battle of Waterloo, Juno 18, 1815, to the late general attack on iho Redan and Malakoff works, in the south ern division of Sebastopol, Juno 18, 1855, just forty yoars afterwards, an English army has met with so severo a loss in the fiolJ as is reported in the last battle. The Boston Courier says : The great Afghan loss which the East In dian army sustained was not in action. At Iho battle of Waterloo, Wellington had under his orders about 68,000 mon ; a moiety of theso only wore British troops. Tho Prus sians, under Bluchcr, camo up late iu tho day—tlioy aro not iuoludetl in this estimate. Wellington's total loss was less than 11,000 men from his army of 68,000. By far the hcaviost portion of this fell upon tho British troops, as all the troops under htm on that day wcro not engaged in action. Neither -the numbers of the French nor English who took part in tho assault on Iho Redan and the Malakoff ate given, but the front of the wholo attack is less than half a mile, and it is not probable that moro than 8,000 Eng lish could havo taken part in it, out of which 3,700 is lite smallest number given in any j English paper as their loss alone, one paper | estimating it at from 4 to 5,000.
