Weekly Post is only $1 per year.
THE KNOW NOTHING TICKET .
The Journal does not like the ticket nomi
nated on Wednesday. It says it " knows h.ll
the men nominated," but that the " Conven
tion did not decide as we would have done."
We have not a doubt of it. I'. J. Bighorn,
editor of the Journal, \vas a candidate for
State Senate, and received b votes out of Pit,
un the first ballot, and none on the second.
In this matter, the convention certainly did
not decide as Mr. Bighaw would have dune.
But men will differ in their estimation of the
personal and political merits of candidates
for official honors. The Jourual does not
swallow the whole ticket, however, for i
omits the name of Mr. McKnight, the eat.
didate for Congress in the 22d district alto
gether. What's in the wind?
The Gazette places the ticket at its mast
head. It had'nt time to make any remarks
as the Convention adjourned at a late hour.
Not one of its editors had the heart to speak
under the circumstances. It is going to
speak however, and we will not judge of the
manliness of its course until it has spoken.
It closes some remarks introducing the ticket
with the following paragraph :
We subjoin the list of nominations made ;
and regret that the late hour to which the bal
loting was prolonged, prevents us from indulg
ing in any remarks upon the nominees. We
shall give opinions to-morrow, frankly, and
without reservation."
The public will look with curiosity and anx
iety for the "frank and unreserved" opinions
of the old Gazette upon this Know-Nothing
Ticket. There was a time when it would
have spoken out in thunder tones against the
chicanery, the deception, and the buying and
selling which nominated that ticket.
"o 1 you and I have heard our fathers say
There Waif a Brutus once that would hive brucked
The eternal devil to keep his state to room as easily as a
Icing."
Is there anything of the old Roman spirit
left in the Gazette? Or will it fall int') line,
and uncomplainingly obey the behests of the
dark lantern party. We shall see.
Of the ten county officers upon the ticket,
the nominations for five are made from the
city, and one from Allegheny. Some sections
of the county have been altogether disregard
ed in the allottment of candidates. The elegy.

The New Orleans Wee.
The• telegraph announces an unpleasant
state of affairs in the Southern Commercial
Emporium. The cause of this assumption of
power by the peorie in opposition to the con
stituted authorities, we are well assured from
the tone of the New Orleans press, has had
its origin in Know-Nothingism. We have no
time for comments this morning, but refer
our readers to the telegraphic column for fnll
particulars of the threatening condition of
affairs in the Cresant City.
During the month of May, 2250 emigrants
passed over the Pennsylvania Railroad, must
of whom were destinied for points west of
Pittsburgh. Of the whole number, 1258 were
those who landed from emigrant ships arriv
ing at view York, but preferred the Penn
sylvania route for reaching their destination
to the far West. These taking passage from
New - ‘4..ork had with them 40,7230 pounds of
extra aggage, and 992 from this city 20,682
pounds. Only 78 of the entire number stop•
ped at points east of Pittsburgh. About 400
went to Kansas for the purpose of purchas
ing terms. From this city passengers are
conveyed to any part of Kansas bordering on
the Missouri river for from MI to 16 for
each passage.. Since the Ist of .January, 10,.
210 emigrant passengers have passed over,
whicli is 1831 more than there were trans
ported during the same period in 1857.
The increased number of persons seekinl
their: fortunes in the Western wilds has in
duced the DiActors of the Pennsylvania Rail
road to increase their facilities for the, trans
portation of emigrant pasenger trains. New
and comfortable cars have been added, and
by a recent arrangement of the time-table,
passengers are conveyed to the most distant
points in much less time than by any other
emigrant train in this country running from
our great seaboard. The passengers that
come by the way of New York are princi:
pally those who have been but a few days
in the United States, while those who take
passage in this city have resided from one to
two years in the country, and after trying
the various vexations of city life, seek the
Western country, where land is cheap, and a
living is afforded to all who are willing to
work.

GEO. W. GRIER, ESQ.
His numerous friends in Pittsburgh will
read with pleasure the following article, corn.
plimentary in the highest degree to Mr. Grier,
which we find in the last number of the Al.
toona Tribune. It is all well deserved.
Many of our readers are, no doubt, aware of
the promotion of George W. Grier, E-q., late i
Foreman the Pittsburgh Shops, to the reopen
sible position of "Master of Machinery," over
the entire line of the Pennsylvania Railroad.—
This appointment necessarily involved his re
moval to this place, and dissolved, in a partial
manner, his connection with the Engineers and
Firemen of the Western Division, many of whom
had drawn the first throttle and thrown the first
stick of wood under his administration, and who
could not suffer the relations which had so long
and s•ltisfactorily l,.iween thorn, to be
dissolved without testifying, in a suitable man
ner, the high estimation in which be was held
by them, as an officer and a gentleman. Ac
-1 cordiugly the pre..eni of a gold watch and
chain was decided upon, in pursuance of which
a committee, consisting of William Wills, repre-
I stinting the Passenger Engineers--James Smith,
rei. - r2seniing the Freight Engineers, and John
NS. Shiley, representing the Firemen, arrived in
this place by the Express Train, on Monday
morning, and having called Mr Grier into his
office, Mr. Wills presented the token, accompa
nied by a few appr' rriate remarks He assured
Mr G , that wherever his lot might be cast in
the future, the well-wishes of the entire Divis
ion would accompany him and that so long as
his connection with the Pennsylvania Central
. . _
continued—which they hope would be to the end
of his railroad career—he could calculate upon
their sustaining him as one wan; confident that
he—a working man and one :9 ho had justly ris
en from their ranks solely by his own untiring
exertions and acknowledged abilities—would
properly appreciate a faithful discharge of duty
on their part, and at the same Time ask nothing
at their hTinds which the b.ri interests et the
company and the men did not alike deman.l
Mr. Grier cot being aware of the intended
demon , tratien was eltoettier taken by surprise.
He said they all knew that he, even it prepared,
could uetzexprese himself in manner to do
justice to his feelings, and he hoped, therefore,
that they would excuse him from attempting an
extemporaneous iiddrese. Mr. Grier was evi
dently much affected by the affair, and remarked
that, much as he prized !lie token just received.
the sentiments which accompanied it were of
much more value to him. Being perfectly satis
fied that no officer can satisfac'orily discharge
his dut'es unless he enjoys the confidence and
respect of the men under his charge as well as
that of the officers placed over hum, he had al
ways endeavored to secure this, and was pleased
to know that he had to some extent succeeded ;
that his course in the future, iu the perform
ance of the duties of his new office, would be
directed to the same end, and he hoped with a
like result. Mr. G. again thanked the gentle
men for their elegant present he had-received at
their hands, advising theni to continue to per
form their duties in a satisfactory manner so
long as they remained in the service of the Cora
party, and assuring them that by endeavoring to
promote its interests, they would certainly pro
mote their own.
The committee then withdrew, evidently much
pleased with the interview and interchange of
friendly feelings.
It always gives us pleasure to record evidences
of good will existing between employers and
empleyees, but in this case we haveia peculiar
gratification. Mr. Grier is emphatically a
working, as well as a self taught mats, and is
always ready to put his shoulder to the wheel
when neoessity requires. From a poo , ap
prentice boy, he has risen, by his own exer
tions, to the foremost rank in his profession-
Having commenced at the foot of the ladder,
and gradually ascended to his present position,
he can fully appreciate the situation of those
under his charge, void it is therefore not surpris
ing that he has succeeded in securing the good
will.
We congratulate the company upon having.
secured the services of one so well qualified to
promote the interest of the Road, and also the
men under him, that one of their number, who
knows their trials and can appreciate a faithful
discharge of duty, has been placed over them.
The Position of the !Mormons
It may now be considered as a settled fact, that
:he Mormons will no longer be suffered or be
able to defy the ,uthority of the United States.
It has already colt our Government millions of
dollars, and may pos-ibly cost millions more to
render tine an actual and accomplished meaqure.
But that it will be don., there can he no doubt.
They must either submit cheerfully zo the au
thority of the United States Courts, or have their
rebellious sr idlers uestr.77l ir
tn „,„,
.h .
ey ave tried Lo
and religiousliber
t ti: is . been exposed, is still their
!PIN -l 'ufqendence t.) awaken popular division
and sympathy. As well might the Thugs of In
dia claim the liberty to settle down upon those
plains and murthr and rib the unsuspecting
travelers to and from California. But they did
for fifty years live thus unknown, however, in
British India, and they claimed, when discover
ed, to be a religious sect. They were a set of as
sincere fanatics as ever existed in the world, the
Mormons not excepted It was a part of their
deepest and most religious belief, that it was a
good and holy thing to apply the bowstring to
the necks of whole companies of innocent trav
elers, and they did it. They watched the dying
struggles of their victims with a real pleasure,
and the same inward sense of satisfaction as if
they had performed some difficult but honorable
and noble deed, or some religious observance
sanctioned by the approbation of Heaven. More
than this certainly cannot and will not be claim-.
ed in behalf of the Mormons, whose destroying
angels are in fact American Thugs. The ques
tion, then, simply lettuces itself to this ; shall
any and every crime be tolerated and sanctioned
by law, when it can claim to be a religious opin
ion ? Shall temples dedicated to Venus and Di
ana be a sufficient protection from the visite of
the police, while all the abominations of ancient
heathen prostitution are re established, because
done under the cover of religion
There are certain great truths and principles
that belong to men, as man, and without any
special revelation--truths of universal religion ;
and these, so far from being ignored by our gov
ernment, are of such a nature that all human
laws and governments are just, and true, and
lawful only in the exact plc:portion in which they
rest upon these as a basis, and reflect the appli
cation of them to the circumstances of actual
and daily life. But will the Mormons claim that
polygamy is not opposed to any of these great
natural and universal principles of morality and
religion ? If they do, it is simply in ignorance
of some of the most clearly demonstrated truths
of the natural and political history of our race.
As the number of men and women in the world
is about equal, polygamy robs the poor of their
wives and daughters, to till the harems of men
like Brigham Young, who, by force and fraud,
end " destroying angels," become the wealthy
despots and tyrants of communiti"s. It cuts at
the root of domestic education, degrades wernau
immeasurably, leiving to her alone often that
duty and care of bringing up the children which
should be equally silared by both the parents.
But the most hopeless and wretched feature of
the system is, that it wrongs and degrades the
children increasingly in each succeeding genera
tion They are not and cannot be properly edu
cated. Hence no community can be permanently
free except in exact proportion as the education
of the children is committed to the double and
, qually moulding influence of both parents.
Tire alone can take place under the law of mono
gamy.
When the ancient customs and virtues of the
Romans died out in this matter, the seeds of de-
day rapidly beca c 4i9lbie iu that, empire, and
so It has been in every other, before and since.—
The imbecility of Turkey, at this moment, is
owing, more visibly than anything else, to t1:06
hareems of the sultans and all the chiefs of the
Mohammedans. The difficulties of governing
France, and the impossibility of establishing a
free government in it, is owing to the vast pro
portion of children who grow up without the
Care and control of their fathers, without love
and veneration for home, without family ties apd
connections. In the case of the Mormons, all
this is far worse and more dangerous, because so
large a proportion of what ideas and principles
they have are already utterly alien and foreign
to those of the United States. In fact, they are
sword subjects of Brigham Young, and Ismael
ites to all the rest of mankind. 'A hile, there
fore, our Government will take all possible
me ins to promote the peaceful solution of this
o.uspiraoy, it will not shrink from any necessary
amount of force to maintain its authority.

Brit l•h Sepoylem
For the atrocities of the Sepoys, charity might
plead the brutalizing influences of ignorance,
superstition and a thirst for vengeance But,
the British people claim to be a civilized and
Christian race, and the indignation which they
affected at the spectacle of Sepoy outrages
shows that they are not insensible to the right
of humanity.
Yet, if we are to accept the authority of the
correspondents of the London papers, the bar
barity of Sepoy assassins was surpassed by the
bloody work of British soldiers in the sack of
Lnoknow.
It is not the habit of British writers to ea
agge. ate the misdeeds of their nation. They
are rather disposed to mitigate the effect of a
faithful narrative of actual occerrenoes. But,
despite the partial recitenoe of the correspondents
from India, enough is revealed of the exploits
at Lucknow to satisfy the world that the ferooi
ties of Cawnpore have been rivalled by the
achievements of a British army.
We have no wish to rehearse the incidents of
the capture of Lucknow. Suffice to say, that
the city was delivered into the hands of a brutal
soldiery, with an official warrant to indulge in
every excess of rapine and violence This
simple statement will satisfy all who are familliar
with British achievements in work of carnage
and plunder. To those who desire a more oir
cumscantial story of the sack of Lucknow, we
recommend a perusal of Russell's letter to the
London Times. In this vivid narrative they will
learn with what success British soldiers retalia
ted the barbarities of their Sepoy foe. Upon
the same page the reader will find an instruct
ive illustration of the spirit of British philan-
I thropy.—Richmond South.

THIRTY-PIFTH CONGRUBS
FIRST SESSION
Ye day'c Proceedings.
DIEM
Mr. Douglas, of Illinois, introduced a bill to revive
and put in force the act of March 1839, in rela
tion to the Northwestern boundary, with such modi
ifications as to make it applicaple to the present
controversy in regard to the right of search and
visitation. _ .
. .
Mr. Clay, of Alabama, from the Committee on
Commerce, reported adversely on the petition of citi
zens of New York asking for an appropriation of
$1,000,000 to aid in the erection of a bridge over the
East river.
The miscellaneous appropriotion bill was then
taken up and various amendments were discussed.
TLo
amendment
Mr. Seward again made an unsuccessful amend
ment to postpone the sale of Kansas lands for a year
from November, the vote being 16 yeas to 29 nays.
An amendment, by Mr. Mason, from the Commit..
tee on Foreign Affairs, to allow Consuls and Diplo
matists while under instruction and while proceed.
ing to and from their posts of duty, was agreed to.
The bill was then passed by a vote of 35 yeas to 13
nays. The nays were : Messrs. Cameron, Chandler,
Doolittle, Durkee, Hamlin, Harlan, Johnson of Ten,
nessee, King, Pugh, Seward, Trumbull, Wade and
Wilson.
The Naval Appropriation bill was then taken up.
Mr. Mallory offered a resolution asking tho Secre
tary of War to inquire into the expediency of put
ting the fortifications at Key West, on the Florida
coast, in a defensible condition. Agreed to.
The Senate received, but did not act on, the House
proposal to adjourn on the 10th inst.
The Senate then went into an executive session,
and subsequently adjourned, having rescinded the
order for an evening session.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, asked leave to introduce
a preamble setting forth that the visitation of Ameri•
can merchantmen, exercised in the Gulf of Mexico
and ports of Cuba by the British war steamers, is in
direct violation of international law, and in the
course of which illegal conduct a man liar been
killed; concluding with a resolution that the Presi
dent is required to give instructions to our navy to
arrest all offending vessels until ample reparation be
made by the British government and guarantees
given for the future exemption from visitation.
Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, said that the Committee
on Foreign Affairs expect to make a report as soon as
they can procure a confirmation of the telegraphic
report that an American vessel had been fired into
and a man killed off Pensacola.
Mr. Harris, of Illinois, said that he would vote for
the resolution if Mr. Davie would strike out about
the man being killed. The despatch comes from the
interior portion of the country, and is, therefore, not
entirely reliable.
Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina, said that if the ob
ject was to put the resolution on its passage, he should
object to its admission.
Mr. Crawford, of lleorgia—l would vote for its
passage now.
Various members said they would do the same
thing.
The rules were then suspended ; yeas Ib4, nays 43.
.0n motion of Mr. Davis the resolution was 'referred
to the Committee on Foreign on Foreign Affairs.
The House concurred in the bill as returned from
the Senate, authorizing the Postmaster General, Sec
retary of the Treasury, and Attorney General to
make arrangements for accommodations for courts,
post office and custom house in Philadelphia, and
passed the Senate bill to continue half-pay to certain
widows and orphans of officers and soldiers, as pro
vided by the not of February, 1853.
Mr. Clay asked, and was excused from serving on
the Committee on Foreign Affairs. He said he had
repeatedly sought, but was refused leave, as a mem.
ber of the Committee, to introduce a bill in regard to
the recent outrages on the American flag, while the
privilege this morning, was granted to another gen
tleman.
The Speaker remarked that when Mr. Clay asked
consent, a single objection was sufficient to prevent
it, and the introduction of Mr. Davis' resolution was
under a suspension of the rules.
Mr. Clay replied that he had repeatedly asked for
a suspension of the rules, but he wished to congrat
ulate the oountry, and was happy that the subject of
the outrages on the American flag, had been at last
sent to the Committee.
The House amended the Senate resolution for the
extension of the session by substituting Thursday
next, and passed it by 139 against 64.
Business of no special public importance was then
transacted, and the House adjourned.
From Washington.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 3.—The Northeastern
Boundary Act, for the revival of which Senator
Douglas to-day introduced a bill, puts at the disposal
of the President, to be used when necessary to resist
the claims of Great Britain, the naval and military
forces and the militia of the United States; author
ins him to call into service fifty thousand volun
teers, and also puts at his disposal ten million dol
lars, with the right to borrow the same; and also,
if he deems necessary, to send a special ambassador
to Great Britain. The act is to continue in force
for Sixty days after the next meeting of Congress.
The bill confers the powers on the precise language
of the act of 1839, except that it strikes oat the word
boundary and inserts visitation and the right of
search with a few other verbal alterations, conferring,
in fact, the same power on Mr. Buchanan as was
conferred on Mr. Van Buren.
The Government has received no despatches what
ever concerning the statement of an American vessel
having been fired into off Pensacola, and one man
killed.

peace and the preservation of property, and the Vigi.
lance Committee will, therefore, provisionally sot in
their stead, administering to each and every malefac
tor the punishment due to his crimes, without heat,
prejudice, or political bias. All citizens who have
sympathies with this movement, and who think the
time has come when New Orleans shall be preserved
like all other welt ordered and civilized communities,
will report themselves, without delay, at the princi
pal office, where the character of this movement will
be explained, and the determination of the people
more fully made known. All has been done noise

our streets in the gore of unoffending citizens, and
spread terror among the peaceable, orderly and well.
disposed, must leave or perish. So the people have
determined.

TREE DELTA,-EXTRA.—From seven to eight hun
dred are under arms now-10 o'clock. Several ar
rests have been made. It is reported that opposition
will be made, in which case there will be a covert
battle. Certain volunteers are still crowding up.
Eleven O'ciock.—Gen. Tracy's division of militia
have been ordered out by the Mayor.
Eleven and a half O'clock.—Tho Comma Council
is in secret session; considerable confusion provails
amongst them. There is great excitement ie the
street. The Council got possession of the first dis
trict armory. They have only ten rounds of emmu- I
nition. A battle is expected this afternoon. More
arrests have been made.
One o'clock, P. M.—The Mayor and Council have
gone to the Vigilance Committee head-quarters to
read the riot act. Two companies of militia are en
gaged in making cartridges. The Vigilance Com
mittee have established sign tie; three guns are to
be tired from the Arsenal, and all supporters are in
vited to repair to the Arsenal to resist attacks.
Three o'clock, P. ..11.—Tho Vigilance Committee is
still triumphant. There has been no fight yet. ,Cot
ton bales have been used for barricades, and the
streets torn up. The city forces are au unarmed rab
ble, with no organization or head. The Mayor issued
an order to take arms wherever they could be towed.
Acting upon the order, the rabble broke opoa and
seized the weapons in Kittridge's store. R a il ex
pected that the Vigilance Committee will siege the
City Hall to-morrow. Bands of armed ruffians are
parading the streets. The stores were closed this
afternoon. The Vigilance Committee is supported
by respectable citizens, and the municipal authorities
must succumb.
LATER.—A fight is expected to-night; an immense
gathering has assembled around the Vigilance dead.

Congressional
Senate.—Mr. Seward's resolution to extetA the
session of Congress till the 21st instant, was vote 1
on an carried, yeas 33, nays 20, but Mr. Hamlin's
amendment, to terminate the session on the 14th, was
then voted on and adopted, yeas 39, nays 17. Mr.
Johnson, of Arkansas, moved to reconsider, but tile
vote being taken on the adoption of the resolution
as amended, it was confirmed, yeas 32, nays 21, cot •

House.—The [louse resumed the considera:ion
he report of the Committee on 'Elections eunc,rail.:
he right of Mr. Kingsbury to a seat as a delegate
rom the territory outside of the State limits Si . MiT..
Mr. Harris said that Mr. TiTingsTim 14,,,s iavtod
under the forms of law, and fur Mr. Ptielps to claim
a seat as a delegate from Dati,..tati, when no suc, ter
ritory was recognized as such, ws.s a place pre
sumption and impertinence which ought nut be
tolerated for a moment.
Mr. Washburn°, of Maine, remarked that the quo,-
tion was whether there was an existing territory of
Minnesota. If not absorbed or destroyed by the
admission of the State of that name, titen Mr. Kings
bury was entitled to a seat.
The House, by 22 majority, settled the question
by the adoption of Mr. Hughes' resolution declaring
that the admission of Minnesota into the Union op
erates as a dissolution of the territorial organii stioti
of Minnesota, and that so much of the late territory
as lies without the limits of that State is without any
distinct and legally organized government, and that
the people thereof are not entitled to a delegate in
the House until that right is conferred upon thorn
by the statute.
ST. Louts, June 2.—A despatch from Leaven
worth the 31st, says that no further outbreak
occurred at Fort Scott. A detachment of troops is
now there, to be replaced by companies of the
Second Infantry, and the fourth column under Col.
Morrison. They marched this morning. The fifth
and sixth columns are in readiness to move and will
be pushed forward immediately. It is understood
that Gen. Harney and staff will take the field about
the 10th of June.
A despatch from Leavenworth to the Ist, says that
intelligence from Camp Scott to the 6th of May has
been received et the Fort. On that day, two Mor
mons came into camp from the city, having des
patches from Gov. Cumming for Secretary Cass. The
troops were expected to move towards the valley, by
the end of May. Nothing was known at camp at
this date of auy proceedings within the city. The
foregoing came by mail to the Fort. The express
man who brought it supplies the following additional
particulars: He left Laramie on the 18th inst. At
Fort Kearney the commanding officer directed him
to inform Col. Monroe that he had information that
Governor Cumming had been expelled from Salt
Lake City; that the Mormons were in arms, deter
mined to resist the army to tho last, and requesting
Col. Monroe to push on as speedily as possible. This
communication, it is understood, was received at
Fort Kearney through the mail brought by the mes
senger, to whom it was communicated vernally fur
lack of time.
Col. Hoffman's oommand was met seventy-five
miles beyond Fort Laramie; they had encountered
snow from two to three feet deep ; they lost many
animals. All the streams are very high.
The Peace Commissioners had passed Laramie and
were obliged to swim the Platte at the latter post.
It is reported that the troop at Camp Scott are
living on mule meat. No official information has
been received at the fort, but the authority of the
foregoing intelligence is regarded as unquestionable.
From Washington.
WASHINGTON CITY, Juno 3.—Attorney-General
Black, in an answer to the Secretary of the Interior,
says that it has never been doubted, as a general
principle, that the Virginia land warrants ought to be
settled and adjudicated according to the laws of Vir
ginia, by such tribunals as she may see proper to
charge with that duty. What each soldier is entitled
to, is a question of law, and the Secretary therefore
cannot go behind the adjudication of the Governor
and Council, which is in the nature of a judicial ex
position of the law, and therefore binding.
It is understood that, however much the President
may desire to visit the West during the recess of
Congress—which, it has been reported, was his in
tention—the pressure of public business will prevent
him from so doing.
Trial of G.n. Walker
NEW ORLEANS, Jane 3.—Gen. Walker's trial is
