%Dig D MOCRACV AND KNOW-NOTH
INGISM.
Ever since the secret cabals which, for want
of a better term, have been designated as the
Know Nothing party, had their origin, they
have been steadily and firmly opposed, as a
matter of principle, by the Democratic party.
The enlarged national views and generous
policy of the Democracy in making the coun
try an asylum for the oppressed of all nations,
while at the same time our own nation was
strengthened and enlarged by the speedy
population of new States and territories, was
early adopted by -the sound and far-seeing
Democratic minds of the country. The nar
row minded bigotry which, in the shape of
distinctive Ainerie,anism, endeavored to resist
this liberal and patriotic policy, was founded
upon prejudice, and not principle, and like
most things which have their foundation in
wrong, it was attempted to be established by
political•iniquity of all sorts. Wanting, as
it did, the great essential element of truth in
its composition, the Know Nothing party has
descended to the lowest depths of baseness to
gain its-ends. Its adherents were composed
of two classes—the leaders who were without
principle, and the led, some of whom were
deceived, and others of whom joined it with
evil motives and front pure want of personal
character. These who were deceived have to
a great extent, seen the error of their ways,
and have returned to their former political as
sociations, but those who were the leaders in
this stupendous political fraud upon the peo
ple, as far as the Democracy is concerned,
should be marked men. They have, and cau
have, no sympathy with the Democratic par
ty which they have ever most bitterly oppoe
ed, and all their approaches of friendship t
the Democracy must be looked upon with dis
trust, for almest"to a man their ruling motives
are selfish and for their own personal gain.—
Unless he truly repent and openly acknowl
edge his error, no man who has ever been af
filiated with the Know Nothing organization,
is a safe man for the Democracy to trust.—
The opposition may place such men in nomi
nation, if they choose ; the Democracy seeks
better and purer material for its leaders.—
With the principles of Know Nbthingism, if
they can be called principles, the honest Dem
ocrat can have no fellowship ; the men wbo
have been deceived into a temprary adhere
ence to these principles, we are e i over ready to
I v
receive back into the party, upr acknowl,
edgement of their error, but those who still
are endeavoring to gain political power, and
ride into offiee upon the remnants of Know
Nothingism, are the worst enemies which th e
DemOeratio party has. In this view of the
character of the tendency and principles of
Americanism, so called, we took upon the
nominations of the opposition to the Democ
racy in Allegheuy county, for the present
campaign, as peculiarly obnoxious to every
true hearted and patriotic Democrat. Th 6
Know Nothing element is so prominent in
this ticket, that it ought to drive from its sup
port a large majority of the old Whigs and
Republicans, who still adhere to the party
which nominated it. Those who uphold.
Know Nothingism in any shape will sooner
or later find themselves most grossly deceived.
The character of the ticket nominated by
the opposition, as compared with our own ex
cellent ticket, is one of the chief reasons why
we so deeply regret the course pursued by
our nominating convention in ignoring all
the. great political questions of the day for
the sake of a single local issue. We have no
objection to every Know Nothing of them all
voting the Democratic ticket, if they choose,
but we do object to the course which the Con
vention pursued, in throwing aside the Dem
ocratic creed as a matter of no consequence,
and refusing to acknowledge the services of
our public men. It will not be denied that
the Democracy of Allegheny county are op.
posed to Know Nothingism. In former Con
ventions they have expressed in the strongest
terms their eittet% abhorrence of the foul ten
ets of the Dark Lantern gentry. Yet, with
the dark lantern visible on every f _at ore of
the opposition ticket, our Convention remains
silent, because forsooth, it is supposed a few
Know Nothings may perchance vote with
us on the Anti-Tax Issue. We gain no;
thing except dishonor by such a course. The
quiet but positive invitation to KnowNothing
ism, tor the sake of a few votes, by the Con
vention, is of a piece with the refusal to en
dorse our President and Governor, and to
enunciate the great principles of the party.
The whole course of the convention in this
respect was Anti Democratic and contrary to
`the usages of the party. The only thing tru
ly Democratic, which this Convention did,
was the nomination of a most excellent out
and out Democratic ticket, upon which they
placed the names of some of the best, the
strongest and most available men of the par
ty. This ticket has inherent strength in it
self, and did not need the utter disregard of
the great principles of the party, by the Con
vention, to give it additional strength. The
DeMocratic party has principles, and it should .
under no circumstances be eitlar ashained or
afraid 'to acknowledge them.

Philadelphia, and Gen. D. K. Jackson, of
Lock Haven. There remained but twenty.
one unfinished sections to complete the road
to the Sinnamahoning, a large part of which
had already been graded—in all, a distance
of about forty miles. When this is done, it
will finish, on the eastern division, a distance
of nearly one hundred and twenty miles west
ward from the eastern terminus, at Sunbury.
The sections were allotted to highly respecta

Illinois Central flit Stroud.
Below we give a very interesting and instruc
tive article relative to the management of tins
great enterprise. It is too often the case that a
desire to grasp too much endangers the wh'le.
The liberal polioy pursued towards the hardy
settlers of a new country, by those who them
selves have received suoh munificent donations
from the people, does not comport well with the
manner in which they have been treated, neither
will they find it so beneficial in the end, as a
high minded liberality corresponding with what
they have received:
-
DEAIL Sta :—Yours of the 51h, is received ask
ing my opinion of the position and prospects of
the Illinois Central Railroad Company. You are
complimentary enough so say that my experi
ence in railroad and canal management should
entitle my opinions to consideration, and may be
of servici to the stook and bondholders of that
Company. In reply to your favor, I will say,
that although it will afford me pleasure to ex
press my views on a few points whioh may seem
to need improvement, yet in so doing, I wish it
understood, that I have no disposition to ques•
Lion or discuss the management of resident t.,ffi
chile, who, I doubt not, faithfully, carry out the
polioy dictated to them.
The policy of railroad corporations, is inaugu
rated and directed by the management—by the
advice and guidance of its President. That
officer is presumed to have railroad experience,
practical common sense, and a general knowl
edge of the road, its officers and of the people,
who are brought into bueineee relations with it
—to be able to guard the management from fall
ing into gross errors of policy. This is particu
larly the case with respect to the Illinois Central
Railroad, whose managers it iu the city of New
York--many of whom have never been iu the
State, and all of them ignorant, from personal
observation, of the reqlrements of the road, and
the necessities of buyers of their lands. 1 do
not doubt that these gentlemen, are able, Intell
gent and praotieal men, with a full knowledge of
their responsibility to the property holders, but
from the want of proper guidance by their chief
administrative officer, they have unfortunately
fallen into errors of policy, which is having a
serious bearing on the prosperity of the Com
pany.
In opening the sales of land, I did not fail to
urge upon the directors, the necessity of draw
ing a population as rapidly as possible on them.
The great necessity of this corporation, seemed
to me to be to people the sparsely settled praries
as fast as ingenuity could plan and devise. The
road equipment and working force, were kept
up at a large annual expenditure—to meet in
terest, repairs and operating services. It was
in my opinion, essentially requisite to open as
quickly as could be done, in order to offset the
expenses of so costly a road in so new a coun
try, every avenue to increased traffic. The wild
uncultivated praries, were of no benefit to the
road, without people, Whose activity and wants
would create passenger travel, and the transpor
tation of material for living and improvement to
the lands, and the product of the soil to market
from them.
The price at whiob these lands were to be sold,
I mantained to be comparatively, a secondary
object. A few dcllare more per acre a year or
two hence, would be uo compensation for traffic
lost in keeping the laude unsettled, while waiting
for the increased value. I endeavored to act
upon this principle by selling nearly $5,000,000
of lands during Oaten months in 1866 in which
I had charge of that department of the business.
I had made the enterprise widely and favorably
known by copious" advertising, and flattered my
self, with each a beginning, $10,000,0000f lands
would have been sold in 1850 and $16,000,000
in 1857. Had these expectations been fulfilled
there would have been $30,000,000 of land notes
In the treasury of the company at the end of
the year 1857, instead of $15,500,000 as proved
to be the aggreate at the end of that year. There
would have been what I conceive of greater mo
ment thaneven the sale of landed interest—Mere
would have been doubk the population scattered
over the lands, to furnish the roads will) an
im
mediate traffic for the enormous outlay of ma•
ebinery and men provided and kept daily run
ning in anticipation of a large business. More
compact neighborhoods would have resulted, af
fording better facilities for living and performing
agricultural labor, and consequently insuring
more reliability and , certainty of payment of the
land notes, which must depend upon the increas
ing value of the lands.
This policy, / regret to say, does not seem to
have been continued by the management after
my resignation. I judge from the fact, that a
total of only $10,000,000 lands were sold in the
following two years. The activity used La mak
ing the first ten months' sales, seems to have
treated the alarming apprehension with the

rates would soon absorb the whole landed inter

likely to sell best! The management now ho 3
the happiness to sea its sagacity and comprehen
siveness crowned with success equal to its most
sanguine expectations. A large proportion of
the emigration which pressed upon them in . 1856
and 1857, and which came from the east ea pre, s
ly to buy lands cf the ct,mpaby, were cotnpell , d
reluctantly to 000trsst thei- lauds Rod pricos

the: prairies for the benefit of: the Common

the road has been opened, there have bocci run
ning each way two through r end on:
freight train every twenty-four hours, b. side
some local trains. One passenger trmn eaoh way
every twenty four hours, with a passenger ear
attached to the daily freight train, it e.leale to
me, would give satifaction, and all the no.c , 2h.9Ary
accommodation to the public, at least, nuttl the
country becomes more compactly settle .1 to net
a supporting traffic, and the finances of the lead
are in a more prosperous condition. it is certain
that if all the passenger travel was transported
In one train every twenty-four hours, it iv, old
not, from its magnitude, be likely to endanger
the proper working of the engine.
Two passenger care each way daily would pro,
bably be sufficient to contain it. It this basis is
correct, as the road is 704 miles long, then the
management is running one uneless trip of 1,108
miles per day. It is generally assumed th..t
trains are run at the cost of $1 per mile. In
the west that sum is generally more exceeded
than reduced. This would then be a useless ex
pellee of fourteen hundred and , eight dollars per
day, or $440,000 per annum of 313 working
days. An economy, if footed up from the begin
ning of the enterprise, sufficient to have gone
far to save the Company from the mortification
of it humiliating assignment. In conclusion,
have to say that the projection and completion of
this great enterprise is worthy of the gentlemen
who have been connected with it. I have nc dis
position to be arrayed against it. Its prosperity
la identified with the State, and near to the inter
est of every property holder in it.
In pointing out what I conceive to be errors of
management, It is plain that they are such aQ any
non-resident board would be likely to fall into, if
not guarded by an able, experienced and practi
cal resident chief administrative officer. If oth
er defects er.;at, they may bo traced directly to
the management, who have, I think, yet to beam
that a long line of railroad, with a. mat ti- ent
