By and by. when ;this Know Nothing mania shall have paned from oil his brain,. we may hope alike for an im , proventont in taste and in manners" it maybe well, however, to have a brief resume of the argument as it now stands. in reply to the ..Compiler's" oft-repeated• assertions that the Know Nothing organi sation:was a• Whig movement, with which the Democracy have no connection—we tif iirmed that so far from this being true, the obnoxious organization had its origin in Lo cofocoism, and that prominent active went. bets of the opposite party wore leading spirits in the new order. In confirmation of this, we -alluded to the fact that the Know Nothing Council iu this place was instituted by- a Democrat—that several of its officers aro Democrats—that a large proportion of the Demooracyof the Bor-, ough are, members of it=and that at least two demociats huvejoined the order for ev ery ono that has left. Under a general de nial of our statement, the "Compiler" do. mended that wo bo more "exact," and we accordingly' assigned 57 as the present re gistered 'Democratic membership, and 17. as the number who had withdrawn.— These statements we gave upon what !re deemed Mitt ble informationwo believed them to be factsand as feats we submit ted them. To all this the '.Compiler" re spends bniving the "lie" direct--charg ing us with wilful, deliberate "falsehood," and cooly informing the reader that the "Star" has been "nicely caught in a false; hood"and similar equally cogent and gentlemanly arguuient. Whether nor not our 'neighbor has succeeded in satifying his own exclusive readers, : we cannot of course knowr-whether or, not he has met our argument, we submit to the judgmentl of such as have access to both papers.— And here we leave the matter. "If it be true ' however, that neither of the editors of the "Star' are Know Noth ings. how came it that one of them allow ed himself to bo seen at Know Nothing meetings in this Borough 1 1 —Compiler. IrrThe abovo is the '.Compiler's" an. ewer to our denial of the charge that the editors of tho "Star" aro members of the ,Know Nothjng org,anization.

Tho great battle has been fought, and victory perches upon the ban ners of "Old Fogyism," not, however, without some Sharp firing between the hostile factions that deserves a chronicling ; and in the absence of an official reporter, we presume wo may be privileged a hasty glance at the field of battle and some minor incidents of the combat. For weeka,lthe din and note of preparation by the rival factions bold be distinctly heard on all. sides. li6e "Old Fogies," writhing ender the partial discomfiture sustained in their unexpected encounter with the "Young Democracy," last year, made np their minds to restore their tarnished glory by making such an example of their "stripling rivals" as should be a warning in all time to come to those who should dare to call I in question their rightful claim to imperial sway. The first skirmish—ominous, in its result, of the fate of the "Young Daum raey,"—cluse.off on Saturday night at tho delegate election. The "Young Democra cy"_ turned out in foreq.flushed with hope, and confident of victory. But what was their consternation, on reaching the scene Of action, to find the ground in the exclu sive occupancy of 'their rivals, whci had mustered in unprecedented and unexpected strength. And such a muster I From I all must Falstar.s famous regiment must seriously have suffered in comparison with the motley host of recruits which" Old Fogyism" had gathered together on that occasion A wag of a Democrat, peering into tiro room and not exactly compre hending the complexion of the meeting, made inqticiry from a brother Democrat as to the fringunge....iturthich-thettleliberations' of the meeting were to be conducted—Ger man or English!. Thu borough; we believe, did mitltirnish field enough for the recruit i ug sergeants, the surrounding townships be- drawwriporii- rind-even -Whigitair being put under contribution, to make.up the re-I quired . quota ! To Make doubly sure, it is alleged the meeting was organized and officered before the hour arrived ; and worse than all—there, in the midst of the motley host of “old Fogyism," stood the fivorito chieftain of the "Young . Democ-1 racy," Wh? had led them in battle but a year before, andfor whoin they had -bat tled, nobly and bravely. little dreaming that in the hour of need, they would ,find themselves and their cause so .ingloriously betrayed. .Somewhat dismayed,' yet full of pluck, the "Young Democracy" prepa red for fight, and demanded that the bal lot systetni.le adopted in the ekction of delegates. ; The Chairman, however, de cided the motion lost , and the meetiug pr.). , cceded to oittork for delegates under the eyes of the leaders who for the time had fratentited,%and the coasequence was of •couraetke election of IIon.IIIOSitSM'CLEAN and Hon. Jon. DI D.txnen. as .dclegates to the Lim' ofoco County Convention—the "Young Democracy" generally refusing to vote. • Similar Scenes, we understand, transpi red at the delegate elections iu some half doses townships--especially townships --especially at Petersburg, wherethe! , Young Democracy" gave • their rivals a bid beat, driving their leader clear off the' field—but we hive not space to notice them. The Convention assembled on Monday at the Court-house, the seats of six dele gates being contested, . The "Old Fogies" hid it all their own way—the officers of the Cenvention—Committee on Reiteln lions; ite., being all of their own making. Theg•Young "Democracy" were shown no quarters--their delegates from Petersburg, Union, and Germany being kicked out of Convention 'without ceremony. After cirganiaation,' the delegates adjourned to the Grand Jury room to hold a secret cau cus, where they spent an hour or more in arranging matters for the public eye. All being in readiness, the doors were again thrown open, and the Convention went through the forms of nominating the an nexed ticket—the main features of which, it is well known, had all been arranged by a certain caucus in the borough before single delegate made his appearance from the country: Assembly—Moses &Mean. Gettysburg. Commissioner—John Duttera, Union. Director—John Flout; Franklin. Auditor--Thos. A. Marshall, Hamiltonban, Coroner—J. W. Hendrix, exkird. • Sberiff—Henry Thomas, Meehan: Prothonotary—Robert M'Conly, Cumberland. Register--n m. F. Walter, Butler. Clerk--Jacob Bushy, Hamilton. A motion was made to nominate viva vote, but the ballot system prevailed, both the Borough delegates voting for the lat ter, although it was denounced by both of them as anti-democratic at the delegate meeting on Saturday night. The ticket, on the whole, is composed of good names; bat the agency by which its nomination was secured, must inevitably sink it. The no-1 mination for Assembly was unexpetted, it having been generally understood that War. B. WasoN, Esq.. of Mcnallen, was the favorite candidate of the Democracy. But we understand it was deemed advisa ble to have a candidate who could "poll the entire CatholiC vote," and Mr. M'CLEaw's position on the School question and other topift pointed him out as the man. Mr. Wirsort's name was before the Conven tion and received 13 votes, notwithstand iog the previous arrangement of the lead ers ; but it was subsequently announced to the Convention by one of the delegates that the use of his name was not by his au thority—that he was an "independent," candidate—that be had not solicited the nomination, and did not wish to be preju diced by the mistake of his friends. Messrs. M'CI.vAN, DA.NNEB 7 Rm.; and ono or two others, were - appointed a Cons.. .mittee to picporc Resolutions. The Com mitten reported the anal Resolves, togeth er .with'& oriagent, 'anti-Know Nothing pledge' to be 'subseribed by the candidates, the Chairman of the Committee support ing the resolutions in a bitter denunciation of Know Nothingism. Messrs. DANNER, STAIILE, and &MY ocK were appointed to administer the pledge to all the candidates, which was done the same evening. This, of course, is intended to catch 'the entire Catholio and Foreign vote.— The sincerity of the movement can be judg ed. of when the reader is assured that one of the Committee which reported the reso lutions, within the last four weeks, told a respectable Democrat of the Borough that' "all Democrats are Know Nothings at heart, but that it was not policy to make it known," while ono of the Committee which administered the pledge, within the same I time, has declared that ho "approved of the Know Nothing organisation—its prin ciples were right—it was high time A merica was Amerieinized."

Upwards or 80 deaths had taken place at last no counts. The citizens were much alarmed, business of all kinds being suspended, and full one•half of the population having left the place: Some of the victims wore seiz ed suddenly while walking the streets, and died in a few hours arterwards. ' The cause of the disease is attributed by many to the impure water with which the town is sup plied from the river, the low stage of the Susquehanna, being equalled, only by the low water of 1863.

COUNCIL.— The Paris "Univers" states that a grand council of &MALI Catholic Bishops from all parts of the world is to assemble at Rnmeat ihe end of Octolair, to deliberate on the,question of the immaculate , concep tion of the niost holy Virgin,.and it is ho ped finally to settle what is , the tFuedegma of the Roman Church on that point. The "Univers" says that "it is probable that the Bth of December of this year will wit ness the accomplishment of the universal .wish, and thavklary will bo proclaimed by the itifalible voice of th 6 Church, immacu late-in her conception. It is known that the saints of centuries now past and genii. ral opinion expect this definition;' the peace of the world and the triumph of the church must bo the recompense of this supremo honor decreed to the Queen of. Virgins." VERMONT.—The Anti-Nobraska tory, in Vermont is overwholining—Judge Boyce's majority fur Governor being over ten thousand, while that for Gen. Fletcher for Lieut. Governor, and Mr. Bates for State Treasurer, exceed twelve thousand. Thisfris an immense majority for a'small State, where tho Whigs have often failed to elect a Governor by the popular vote. The Senate is almost entirely anti-Nebras ka; and the flouso is ,tho same way by -a boa, one hundred majority, securing a U. S. Senator . of the'iight stamp.

This calutn niation,l am informed by good authority, was tho work of a set of men in bur party, who note only pretend to be the advocates of Democratio principles, but also the con ciliators of the; arty. • This intrigue, which I doubt not is eor 'root, has already destroyed a curtain pot-, tion aif the petteo and harmony of the par ty, as as tho contideoco hitherto repo- sed in the pretended leaders-of the sumo, in the Borough. I would therefore, through your jour:• nal, mitke a public denial of the allegations, which are-not onlyviudictive;but.palpahle falsehoods. Neither of the Wooded del egates belong to the secre t political associ ation known us Know Nothings.
