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. Sunbury and Erta Railroad. On the 25th of August the letting of the contracts of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad, in sections of one mile each, from Farrands ville to the mouth of the Sinnamahoning, was held at Farrandsvilie, about five miles tram the town of Look Haven. The number roprietor contractors present from all parts of the State was large, and much interest was mani- Among the managers of the company pres ent were its industrious and distinguished president, Wm. U. Moorhead, Esq., and Philip M. Price and A. B. Cummings, of 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 ble and responsible contractors, and at ex ceedingly low prices. The following are the allotments COIITRAOTJan. James Deegan S.

Elections are to be held this month in Maine, Vermont and California—the first on the 13th, and the other two on the 7th of the month. In Maine, a Governor, six members of Con gress and members of the Legislature are to be chosen. The Democratic State Convention of Dela ware met at Dover, on Thursday, and nomina ted Dr. Win. Burton, of Kent county, for Governor, and the Hon. Wm. U. Whitely, for Congress. In the First Congressional Districts of Ar kansas, the vote for Hindman was 18,225 ; for his competitor, Crosby, 2,Bs3—Hindman's majority 15,40:2. In the Second District, Rust received 16,302 votes, Jones 3,104, and Drew 3,452. Majority of Rust over both his competitors, 9,743. The Wilmington Daily Herald (Opp.) gives a complete list of the members elected to the new Legislature of North Carolina, which foots up as follows Damqeratic mfjority, 5s Judge Ellis' majority for Governor will exceed 15,500, but will not reach 16,000, un less the official vote materially increases the official returns already rec'3ived. Pittsburgh, Fort 'Wayne, and Chicago Ra.ilroed Company. The semi-annual meeting of the stock holders of this road will he held to-day at the Merchants' Exchange. Much important business will be brought before the meeting. Below we append a list of the Volunteer Companies that have given official notice that they will be present at Camp Susquehanna. Many other Companies, the Adjutant Gener al has been unofficially informed, will be present. Altogether, the encampment will be the most imposing affair of the kind that ever assembled in the State, and notwith standing many untoward circumstances, the display of the volunteer force of the Common wealth will be alike creditable and gratifying to our people. It is the first encampment of the kind ever held in this State, and it will do doubt accomplish much in improving the discipline and efficiency of the military of Pennsylvania. There will be at least forty companies present. The following is the list of those that have reported officially that they will be present, viz: Allegheny county, Duquesne Greys ; Barks county, Rifle Rangers ; Blalr county, Tyrone Artillery ; Centre county, Bellefonte Penoibles ; Clinton county, Lock Haven Artillery, Logan yille Artillery.

Adjutant General Wilson says: I here will also be in attendance many more companies of which I have received unoilloial intelligence, that are not in the above list.— Berke county will vend more companies ; Sohuyl hill will also send some, and perhaps Lancaster, t,od possibly Philadelphia. From the various Divisions and Brigades in the State there will be about two hundred general stall and field officers in attendance. Several general officers from other States will be present.

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 Cuicacio, July 27, 1858 ~ 1:f.i. ,' . : ::. : :''1..'i,.; ..:''-';',!'.:'.:l-',4-IW'-7-'P -.:...i.',--:::'''.:''::...P!!;';...,::::.;'.:..,.1,.'...ii.,:...`6z4p..-i:•,.2.,,:,:. -....:-.::.-'..::-..,..,' ...... - :'i:'.' , •••:-•.•::; - ..:? .'....-..'.,..W:.-:.-:.-,1-:.:-Eo:/: management, - that a continuance at the same rates would soon absorb the whole landed inter est I To prevent so serious a misfortune, pru dent forecast, wisely sugge , .(ted vlargo advanco likely to sell best!

Thus the spirit and intent of the State Govern ment, in conferring this magnificent grant of the: prairies for the benefit of: the Common wealth—has not 6o far been fully and com pletely carried tut by the Company t.) the beet advantage.

One pawl. point 1 prop.,- , tmviug a depressing effect upon this eitierlir 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.

Notwithstanding that General Jerez has given assurances that he Is authorized to make such explanations concerning the course of Nicaragua as will be satisfactory to our government, as a preliminary to his re oepti on to treat on the matters between this and that republic, he has thus far failed to remove the obstacle to his reception in a diplomatic oa pacity. The Adnaini,dratica has not yet made a selec tion of Minister to Paragny from among the sev eral candidates. In addition to the national ves sels ordered to be sent to Paraguay, negotiations are pending for the use and purchase of steamers of light draught owned by private individuals. Officers are constantly being ordered to their 3,,,;ga , ti o d commands. The detachment of ma rines to be sent cut will be far more formidable than Lei etofore annorinoed.
