BIGLER'S ADDRESS. ...
" Ve hope our readers will not fail to read
'our article in another column, in reference to
the recent 'appeal' issued by Gov. Bigler.-
Wc were compelled to write it hastily and im
perfectly, nor could we occupy sufficient space,
to treat the address as its length demanded.
It nevertheless cantains some points, which
will afford matter for reflection.
Remember. That Gov. Bigler is in favor of
the Repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and
that his election will be hailed as a Nebraska
Victory, as an endorsement by Pennsylvania
of this "infamous Bill," which has-been' dc
nounced by every true friend of Freedom.
PHILADELPHIA.
We have news from Philadelphia by which
we are assured that Pollock, will receive, in
the consolidated city, over ten thousand ma
jorityf The attempt to create the impression
that there is any dissatisfaction existing there,
which will affect the State Ticket, is simply
absurd. If the rest of the State doc3 as well
as Philadelphia, Pollock's majority will be
FIFTY THOUSAND Mark the prediction.
"A BIG LIE."
"We are well aware that the most strenuous
efforts have been made, and are still making,
to strengthen the cause of Whiggery in this
County through the agency of Knaw-Notking-lsm.

; DISORGANIZATION IN BERKS.
Let those who think Bigler will get hia usu
al majority In Berks, read the article on our
drst page from the "Berks County Press," the
regular Democratic 'Organ.' "The democracy
are rent and torn dissension and disaffection
prevail." The same thing is true of more
Counties than Berks. The political fate of
Bigler, Campbell, & Co., is sealed, and all the
stumping the Clearfield 'Clique' can do, wont
save them. No,not even the unparalleled elo
quence of the Valliant Captain of the'Chinckle--eanioose'
Rangers,' the illustrious "Corporal,"
and the "learned Judge." They are-"a licked
community," and. sis they are net "Know
Nothings" they Knoie it.
Lancaster all right. Wc have good authori
ty for saying that Bigler will have "six hun
dred" majority in Lancaster County.
Being determi ned to tell as big a lie as possible,
wc hit upon the above. "Democratic Papers'
"And, as usual, you succeeded most admira
bly. Don't think you can be beat at the game
by anybody in "the wild cat district." Guess
you must have been trying the same experi
ment when you alleged that the story was
circulated in this county that Gov. Bigler had
a daughter in a nunnery: or. perhaps you were
thinking of the time when your party circula
ted the same story about General Scott.
You're a posey, ain't you ?
PERSECUTION.
The latest scheme of the Locofoco wire
workers here, is to get up the cry of " Perse
cution" against Gov. Bigler, and for this pur
pose the greatest misrepresentations have
been made, and the lowest means resorted to,
we have ever known to be used in a political
contest. If is ' alleged that "through the la
bors of hired vilifiers,' many of his neighbors
have been led to condemn his conduct, &c."
" Wc don't know exactly what this means, but
if there are any 'hired viliflers' in the couuty,
they must be the 'paid clerks' and other recip
ients of official favors, who, instead of being
At their posts, have been here conducting this
campaign, and dealing in wholesale slanders
against the candidates of the Whig party.
We utterly and entirely deny that one word
has been said, publicly or privately, by a
Whig, as such, against the character of Gov.
Bigler, or any other candidate. On the con
trary," we have said through our paper, and
the whig speakers liave said in the public
meetings that have been held, that we believe
Gov. Bigler to be a gentleman in every re
spect, and the first word has yet to be ' said of
his private character. But," notwithstanding
all this, and the fact ; that they are claily aud
weekly slandering Judge Pollock, these con
sistent gentlemen, would have the people be
lieve that Gov. Bigler is 'vilified' and persecu
ted, as .no other man ever was in Pennsylvania.
This scheme of exciting f sympathy,' is an
old one with the Locofoco party, and has long
Ago been wonUhreadbare. It is, at all events,
a mighty .low businesstoseek to obtain votes
through pity' and all they can get in that wayV

' . GOV. BIGLER'S APPEAL.
. An appeal, some. five or six news-paper - columns
long,-has been issued byGov. Bigler. and thousand
of copies, franked by the officers at llafri.--burg, as
official papers, have been sent all over the State.
In this county it has been freely; and extensively
, circulated, so that, wo piesunie, all of our readers
have been furnished with a copy of the -modal'
document, and can refer., to it and seo whether, in
what we have to say, we "misrepresent" its con
tents or not.
He begins by a most contemptible and undignifi
ed fling at Judge Pollock, which, even if it was
true, he should never have mentioned. We should
be sorry to accuse him of falsehood, and shall,
therefore, charitably presume he has been misin
formed, when he says that during the three weeks
he was confined to his room, - "the canvass was ac
tively pursued by Lis opponent " .With a gener
osity, which Eig!r himself was far from exhibit
ing, J ndge Pollock, ceased his labors in the west
ern part of the Commonwealth, when he heard of
Uov; Bigler's illne.M, and leaving the fctato, went
to Buffalo, where he remained until news came
that the Governor was better. For the truth of
this we can refer to Col. A. G. Ccrtiv, and other
distinguished gentlemen who accompanied him.
But, how was it with Gov. Bigler? . At the begin
ing of the campaign, it was announced in all the
Whig papers that Judge Pollock would stump the
State, after the farmers would get in their grain.
and tho proper time would arrive. This was well
understood, by all parties. But when the time
came, Judge Pollock was lying extremely ill at
his homein Milton. Then, and not till then, Gov
Bigler issued a Proclamation that be would canvass
tho State, and started off on his expedition, while
Judge Pollock was still unable to leave his couch.
Immediately all the democratic paper?, began to
crow over the' fact, and alleged that Judge Pol
lock was afraid to meet Bigler before tho people !
So much for Governor Bigler's generosity and mag
nanimity, in politics. ;
' The next point in the address is that :lthe finan
ces of the State were never in a more wholesome
condition." and this with a public debt of over
Forty six millions, or Out thousand Jive hundred
and eighty-one tons! A debt thatit would require
"03 wagons and four thousand horses to haul, and
every year being increased ! Such is the 'whole
some' condition of our State finances.
The next question which ia alluded to in the ad
dress, is tho Sale of tho Public Works, which ho re
gards simply as 'a business transaction.' He occu
pies hi3 usual non-committal, or whip-the-devil-rnund-the-stnrop
position, and talks about the
'compensation" for them, Ac , just as he did in hi3
annual message, and just as those members of tho
Legislature did who loaded the Bill, last winter.
with reslriciona and conditio ifor tho oxpress
purposo of defeating it. Notwithstandingthis mea
sure is demanded by the people, Gov Eigler is ev
idently opposed to it, and will do all he ean, to
gether with tho leaders of his party w ho are in
debted to them for their bread and butter, to pre
vent their sale.
JIo next descants upon the banking qucstion,but
forgets to tell how it happened that, while he ve
toed some bank bill', ho approved others contain
ing exactly similar provisions! There is no other
question (always excepting tho Liquor Law) upon
which the Gov. occupies a more "straddle-legs"
position than on bis profcssel opposition to corpo
ration! and monopolie.
The next snbjoct of importance that receives his
august attention, is tho School Question, upon
which he has at last been forcc-l to express an opin
ion. But he does not coma out freely and openly,
like Judge Pollock, and say "if my church, or any
church, chooses to enter the political arena, cows
WITH it!"
From tho School Question, he gets to the Prohib-
atory Law, on which he Btands precisely in the
saino position as he did before the Stato Conven
tion, when his letter was declared 'unsatisfactory.'
lie would desire to leavo the impression that he is
in favor of tho Law, but hear the Ilarrisburg Un
ion, his organ at the Capitol : . .
"Up democratic guards of Dauphin, and charge
f r victory. Up for Bigler, Black, and Mott !
Route the 2Iainr Isciv: fanitics, the Whigs, the
Know Nothings, Ac."
It is not diQ:ult to seo who are running him as
their candidate- He also p-dmiU in this address
that he has vetoed tho Lager Beer Bill, passed last
session, thus proving most conclusively that ho is
the Anti-rrohibatory candidate.
But row wo come to tho great burthen of his
song, the "Know Nothings ' Wc havo no particu
lar love for secret societies, nor do we desire to be
come their peculiar. apologists. But we have a re
gard for tho Constitution, and Republican Institu
tions of oar Country, and while that Coostitntion
guarantees to every man the right to worship God
according to the dictates of his own conscience, it
also secures to every American citizen, the rigit
to vote for whom ho may see propor, and for what
reasons ho may soa proper. If therefore,-tie
hold a different religious creed from a certain ean
cUdato, and on that ground atom, sec proper to
vote against him, we are only exercising that right
as guaranteed to us by the Constitution. And if
wc pledge ourself to vdc for no one holding that
creed, whether publicly or privately, we most cer
tainly viola to no word, phraso, or clan so .of tho
Constitutiou. If therefore, a portion of our citi
zens, seo proper to form an organization, whether
open or eecret, and mutually pledge themselves
not to voto for individuals holding a different re
ligious or political creed, we cannot see how it
conflicts with, or "violates" "the "guarantees and
immunities" secured to us by the Constitution. ; It
is precisely the same privilego which Gov. Bigler
claims for himself, yet denounces in others. . Will
he vote for a Whig, Free Soiler, or Native Ameri
can? And why?, Simply because they hold dif
ferent principles from the party to which ho be
longs. Will he vote for a Mormon, a Deist, or an
Infidel ? We presume not, and for the same rea
son. Now if we happen to hold the doctrine that
the tenets of a particular church are inimical to
our form of goverrment, that iU teachings arc
directly contrary to tho spirit of all our Institu
tions, and to republican liberty, havo we not tho
saw right, to vote against an individual that holds
such a ereed, as he has to voto against a Whig, a
Native, or a Mormon 1 .
But, says Gov. Bigler, the Constitution declares
that "no religious teat shall ever be required as a
qualification for oflice." True, but Gov. Bigler
utterly fails to show that the Know Nothings ad
vocate the adoption of a religious test as a quali
fication for office.- So far as we. know anything
about the organization, as wo have been able to
gather it from the. public prints, they . expressly
declare that it is their great object to leep religion
out of politics. They merely say that "for certain
reasons we will not voto for certain individuals."
Now what are their reasons? -Why because "they
are members of a church which we believe haa en
tered th political arena and ia inimical to our in
stitutions.'. Havo they not the tight it do this,
under th Constitution? We do not thiol Gv.
from them that high privilego of an American
citizen !.'.
But : he denounces them also, becausa he says
they proscribo American citizens, for "an accident
of birth," Well, we don't intend to defend them
for this, but wo would merely call Gov. Bigler's at
tention to the opinion of Tuos. Jbffersox on this
subject, -whoso orthodoxy, we presume, no Demo
crat will doubt, which he will find in his "YoetS
o?i the State of nrgi'iiir'," pago 69. It i3 as fol
lows:
"Every species of government has its specific
principles. Ours perhaps are more peculiar than
any other in the universe. It is a composition of
the freest principles of the English constitution,
with others derived from natural right, and natu
ral reason. lo tneso nothing can be more oppos
ed than tho maxims of absolute monarchies. Vet
rrom sack we are to expect tho greatest number of
fc.UlGKAiUS. They . will brine, with them the
principles imbibed in their youth ; or, if able to
tnrow mem on. it wilt be in exchange for on un
bounded licentiousness, passing, as usual, from one
extreme to the other. These principles with their
Language," they will transnit to their children.
In proportion to their numbers, they will share
with us in the legislation. : They will infuse into
it their spirit, wurp and bias its directions, and
render it a HETEROGENEOUS, IKCOIIEKKNT,
AND D1STE.ACTED . MAS." .
But this organization also find its principles en
dorsed by the Father of- his Country. Washing
ton says :; : ' . ': .
"Against tho insiduous wiles of Foreign Influ
ence, the jeaousey of a free people oinrht to bo
constantly awako. IT IS ONI Of Tlffc MOST
BAXEFL-L FOES OF A REPUBLICAN GOV
ERNMENT." . :
But admitting that "Know NothingUm" is tho
monster which Gov. Ligler and his parly rcprescn
it, to whom docs it owe its origin ? Why, to Gov.
Bigler himself. He is its very god-father in Penn
sylvania. Yeft, verily, "he conceived and brought
it forth," by the appointment of James Campboll
Attorney General! It was the hostility to that ap
pointment, in tho rank3 of Gov. Bigler's own par
ty, that originated "Know Nothingism" ia Penn
sylvania. And now Gov. Eigler would disown his
offspring! He would denounce tho produc
tion of his own party, for tnoro than cue third of
the democratic party of . tho State are members of
that Order, as .will be proven by the result of ihe
election! It is Democratic in its origin, democrat
ic in its features, democratic in its workings.and one
of the fe iff good consequences that have resulted
from Pigler's Administration.
But this talk of "violating the constitution"
comes with a very bad grace from Gov. Bigler, a3
the exponent of 1'emocrcy in its modern 6ecso.' A
party that cou'.d violate one of its most sacrod
compromises, which was formed upon the ordinance
of 1737, as framed by the authors of that sacred
instrument themselves, should have very little to
say about iLs violation by others. By the way,
Gov. Bigler in his vituperation against tho Know
Nothings, very singularly, as wc may suppose, has
entirely overlooked this all absorbing qnestion.
and prominent issuo of this campaign. He has
not one word to say on the Nebraska Hill, though
hia party acknowledge itasono of the most prom
inent features of this contest.' If it is not, why
did they pump, the candidato for Congress in this
district for some two hours, on the question, and
then succeeded in getting nothing out of him. As
usual, Gov. Bigler, has 'dodged' it, well knowing
that as the hea l of tho party ia Pennsylvania, he j
must support the leading measure of tho Admin
istration if ho comes out on the question at all,
and yet fully aware of its unpopularity. Dut he
cannot escape in that way. lis is tho Nebraska can
didate, and cau bo regarded in no other light? He
rcaat thoreforo boar the burthen which Pierce,
Douglass t Co., have east npon his thonlders. If ho
is elected, it will he claimed r.s a Nebraska vic
tory as an endorsement of tho present weak, in
efficient, and corrupt national administration. He
is insepcrably linked with them, and 'dodging
the question won't release him. Ho may bs
ashamed of it. and no doubt is,but he had the power,
when th resolutions on the subject wore before
our Legislature, to hive prevented its passage, and
failed to use it. For this sin of omijfion ho must
now bear tho responsibility. -
Oar articlo is already longer than wo intended,
and we aro compcllod, from want of room, to. cut
it short. Gov. Biglor's address is a Ingthy docu
ment, and requires a long article to give it even a
cursory review. Wo advise our friondj all to
read it, as it will servo as a modal electioneering
document, should any of them have occasion to use
one. It is a most pittiful begging for votes, that
must disgust every inlependant reader. Iu the
language of tho Sun, it reminds us, froru its .spe
cial pleading and ingenious sophisms, of the
speeches made when the judge asks a man what
he has to say why sentence of death should not bo
pronounced upon Li m
"A FEW "WORDS TO THE THINKING AND
JBDICI0I73 V0TEB3 or PENNSYLVANIA."
; The locofoco leaders of the Campaign have
issued a hundred thousand copies of a pamph
let under the above "title, containing tho false
and contemptible articles, originally publish
ed in tho -Pennsijlcanian, about the "Know
Nothings," and malicious attacks on Judge
Pollock. Theso documents, franked by tho
public officers at ILui isburg, have been secret
ly distributed all over the State, and our own
county is fairly flooded with them. But their
labor has been in vain, for no man of ordina
ry intelligence, can read it, aid give it the least
degree of credit. It is a collection of base
slanders and malicious lies, that found their
origin in the prolific imagination of the hired
slanderer who presides over the columns of the
drivelling Pennylcanian. :
The only thing they havo been able tosay
against Judge Pollock, and which this pamph
let re-echoes, is that he belongs to tho Knov
Nothings." ' Against his character as a man,
acitizen, and a statesman, they havo netdividual who sought to use thafPubltc Work,"
yot been able to say one word. He represcnT?j i
cd his District in Congress, during throe ex
citing sessions, aud in all that time there is
not a single vote, speech or 'act with which
they have found fault. ,Thcy have searched
and re-searched, but in every instance they
found him right upon the record. Unable, then,
to say anything else, they make the foolish
and absurd charge that he is a "Know Noth-
mg." - .
This charge is scarcely worth contradiction,
for if it be true, it is no objection to Judge
Pollock, or any other man, as : we understand
this secret organization from all we have been
able to learn on the subject. If ho as a mem
ber, wq have only to say, he seems to have
good company, and plenty of it. But wheth
er he is a member or not, if he stands before
the peoplo a high minded and honorablo man,
capable of discharging the duties of the office,
of projecting the interests of th. Common- j
w ealth, iu favor of the Sale of the . Public
Works.opposed to the extension ofSfa very over
free territory, and. thV candidate of Freedom,
Retrenchment, - Economy, and Reform, he
should be supported by every true Pennsylva
nian, who has at heart tho best interests of his
Native State' r-.;:
Rally then around the standard 6t v JAMES
POLLOCK, whose intelligence, fidelity, and
availability, whose long public services, patri
otism and experience, eminently fit him to
preside over the affairs of our noble old Com
monwealth. Support him as the AMERICAN
CANDIDATE, and rest assured his , election
will be an AMERICAN VICTORY. L , ,
- - ,.-. THE STU.nPEIlS. -.
The Locofoco leaders here have determined
to stump the County. Accordingly all hands
have set to work at the bellows, - and the way
they make wind Is a caution to all outsiders. :
The performance commenced at tho Mount
Joy School House on Saturd-ty night, a descrip
tion of which, will be found in another column.
Tho ball opened by reading thcAppeal of Gov..
Bigler, which we understand required the uni
ted exertions of the whole 'trio' to get through
with. R. J. Wallace,'a veteran of sixteen sum
mers," then proceeded to enlighten the good
people-of that region on the principles of de
mocracy, by repeating the stale assertion that
one of the whig speakers on Court Week, pro
nounced "popular Sovereignty" a ''magnitl
ccnt humbug." As Robert has been assisting
the 'Corporal' in his laborious search after the
"Know-Nothings," wc must make due allow
ance for the elasticity of his imagination, to
the exuberonce of which, we must credit the
assertion. Master Robert is a young gentle
raan in whom wo feel great interest, and we
a-e sorry to sec him waste -the time lie should
be devoting to Blackstone in dictating to bis
elders how they should vote-at the comming
election. .
This precocious youth was followed by the
renowned 'Corporal,' whoso wind 'apparatus
was in excellent . order, but for some time- it
was difficult to tell which end was in 'operation.
The 'Corporal' Mowed away at a terrible rate,
and fears were entertained for the safety of the
building. He was ridirig his great hobby; th-j
"Know-Nothings," and it is said ho was per
fectly at borne on the sulject. His speech
was conclusive evidence thus he ought .to un
derstand them. lie wa3 initiated ft birth; '
The 'Corporal' took his seat amidst tho most
uprorious applause, and was followed by the
IIon.'G. R, Barn-t, who, in his usual style,
ripped away at tho "Know-Nothiugs," until
some of his hearers feared that there would be
a '.vpontaneons 'combustion." The "Ioarnod
Judge" answered very-well for a 'stomach'
pump' during Court week, and in all probabil
ity, a.s was suggested by.one of his Democratic
hearers, he would answer equally as wtll for a
"gasometer." They might use hiin ia lic-u of
gus-works, when they get the R.diiu.id. .With
the Judge's speech the 'fizzle ended at Mount
Joy.
On Monday evening another 'bust up' was
had at Centre School I!ci;se'. There were sorno
thirty or forty persons r.resatit, about two
thirds of whom won Whigs and Natives.
The party' had received an addition in the per
son of a Mr. Sacketts, who' made tho astound
ing discovery that "Americans was born with
monarchical instincts, and furv;gi;crs with
Democratic or republican instincts!" Verily,
wo hope h-j'l! go over the whole county.
The "learned Judge" was replaced by Mr.
J.B.McEnaliy who enlightened thaunterrfifed'
of that region on tho United States Dank, etc.
Th3"Corporal" then attempted to"l!ow out,"
Lnt h:s comicalities took the audience by Horni,
and the loud noise from hi3 wind apparatus,
was entirely drowned in the cri -s, hisses and
yells of the crowd. The audience had already
heard a history of tho adventures of this sec
ond Don Quixotto De'La Mancha, nnd of ;hi.H
Squire Robert, through the alleys, lanes, and
(isoft places" ia search of tho "Know-Nothings,"
and their uprorious reception so dis
comfited the 'Corporal' that he "backed wa
ter," and retreated. ' The meeting adjourned,
and a Native meeting was announced for the
next evening, at the same place. .
Wo understand it is tho intention of this
'splendid troupe' of performers, to give exhi
bitions in every township in the county. We
advise "all the world aud the rest of mankind
"if they have an opportunity, not to fail see
iug the "Mvr.ley Show." ' .'( .'
: TO DEMOCRATS.
Democrats remember that Gov. Bigler ap
pointed JAMES CAMPBELL his Attorney
General, and subsequently used his influence
to have him raised to a seat in the Cabinet of
President Pierce, after YOU, by your votes,
had repudiated and rejected him.".
Remember that Gov. Bigler was elected as
the great opponant of Banks and monopolies,
and that while he vetoed somo bank bills, "ho
approved othors exactly similar in their pro
visions. Remember that a contract was entered into
with Messrs. Bingham & Dock, by which they
were granted the exclusive privilege of carry
ing passengers over tho Columbia Railroad,1
while tho cars of every other company or in-
were driven from the ro id !
Remember that Gov. Bigl-r in hia conduct
and appointments, has truckled to tho influ
ence of a particular Sect, thus dragging Re
liOou into Politics, which he professes so
much ftrdeprecate. In proof of this wc refer
to tho appointment of James Campbell, of the
Lazzaretto Physician at Philadelphia, and of
the Flour Inspector at Pittsburg.
Remember that Gov. Bigler has abused the
pardoning power, and has turned looso felon
after felon, notwithstanding they had been
convicted after long, arduous, and extended
trials, and were sentenced by the Court, thus
usurping the prerogatives of the Judge and
Jury ! In proof of this we point to the pardon
of Alberti tho notorious Kidnapper, to the
Chester County prize-fighters, to the two fold
pardon of Copenhaver of Huntingdon, to the
Alleghany Conspiritora, to Lachononr of Eaa.
ton, and a hnt of others, equally notorious.
Biltlew'-oTdiiT readers have not heard , since
the commencement "of this campaign . and be
fore It, Native Americanism, and Know-Noth-ingism,
denounced as a "Whig Gull Trap
This h been ; the constant cry ofLocofoco
fism throughout the( whole .contest. They
knew that the-1 Whig party svaa ' the. only great
Amesica.v party of the country, and that con
sequently, some of its tenets and principles
bore a slight reicmblancc to the doctr incs
professed by tho Natives, and they seized
hold of this hobby for the purpose of securing
the catholic and foreign vote, whilo they
madeNativeAmericanism and Know-Nothing-ism,
in more senses than one, -another step
ping stone to power.
In proof of this fact, one need only point to
the Locofoco papers, every ouo of which, is
taking especial pains to publish to the world a
letter,' purporting to bo written by the Native
candidate for Govenor, declaring that he
will not decline. In addition to this, the Lo
cofoco leaders are buisily engaged distribu
ting Bradford tickets in all tho disaffected
districts in the county !' Docs this resemble a
"nidgGull Trap." And what is their object?
Why simply to prevent the dissatisfied demo
crats from voting for POLLOCK, and to get
as many Whigs as possible to vote for Brad
ford! They well know that every democratic
vote for Bradford is one saved to Bigler, and
every "Whig vcte thus cast, ia' one' lost' to
POLLOCK. ' '
"' But it is not only a Locofoco "gull-trap" in
this respect. The democrat.? who have all
along I-en loudly professing Nativeism, arc
new turning traitor to the Whigs whom they keve
succeeded in draving into th:ir rrnks, r.nd are
going- bade, 'body and breeches' to Bigler, just
as -we predicted they would, from the begin
ning. -This is not a racro naked a.s?rtion,but
we can PROVE it, by the most conclusive ev
idence', and the Locofoco loaders arc glonfi-ng
over it on the street confers. Latt week, they
reccived a letter from ono of the former Na
tive. American leaders in ' Bradford township,
who, to prove his allegiance to the Locofoco
party, 'betrayed his brethern with a kiss, and
exposed to the wircworkers hero all the pri-privat-j
; movements an 1 disign3 of the party
with which he had been acting!
Now will-any whig permit himself to be
thus bamboozled out of his vote? And what is
to Ix! thought of a'party:;who will stoop to
the use of such means to ride : tato ofiiw ? With
one hand they are holding out tho bait to Cath
olics and foreigner, and with tho other dis
tributing Bradford tickets! Any and every
means to -accomplish thoir designs. Thera is
uothingj however low and con'emptible , to
which they will not stoop for success. Will
Whigs and ' true. Native Americans permit
themse-Ws to ho thus hembugged. Let tbcm
answer at the ballot box. I - .,
JUDOi; POLLOCK. . . .
Asa profound , lawyer, reliable statesmen,

iu:it speaker, a. patriotic and true-hearted
Pcnnsylvacian. Of bis um-xcjpticnible pri
vate character and moral worth, lo better evi

. We understand the Locofoco leaders hen
aro getting up what purports to be an exposi.
tionof the "Know-Nothings," with a list of
the names of those persons7 in this town and
vicinity, whom they believe to belong to them.
Remember that it is on tho eve of the election,
and that it will, perhaps, be impossible to con
tradict what they may say. We believe "Know
Nothingism" to be a Locofoco gull-trap, and
one of tho means by which they make it effec
tive is by representing its members to consist
of Whigs. Remember that the Whig party
have no alliance with "Know-Nothingism"
whether it be good, bad, or indifferent, and that
our candidates stand upon the good old plat
form, on which we fought wider a ILvhkison, a
Taylor and a Scott. ' We are the advocates
now as ever, of -the restriction of slavery
within its present limits, of tho Sale of the
public works, of Retrenchment and Reform
in all tho departments of the G overnment, aud
of the Common School System in its present
form, without alteration or addition. If these
are the principles of the Catholics and foreign
born citizens they can vote for our candidates.
If they are the principles of the Know-Nothing,
they can vote for them. But they are the
principles of the groat AMERICAN WHIG
PARTY, and no man who has ever enlisted
under its banner will refuse to sustain them. .

Bigler and the Honor of the State.
Tho Governor and his friends aro boasting of
his spirited conduct in the case rf McCreary,
the kidnapper!.' ' ' '" -
"Mark how a plain t ile puts them down."
Rachel Parker, a free borne citizen of Penn
sylvania, was kidnapped by certain Baltimore
slave-dealers,' hurried oil" to that city, and
thrust iuto a slave pen.; Several citizons of ":
tho vicinity went to Maryland, in pursuit of.
the stolen girl, and gave testimony in Balti
more to the effect that she was free and had '
been kidnapped: of which one of their fc'iinbeiy :
Joseph Miller, a respectable citizen of Chester
county, was brutally murdered before he left
Maryland. Thomas McCreary, of Baltimore '
a notorious scoundrel, who had for years been :
committing .depredations o:i .Pennsylvania
soil and escaping into Maryland for Bafety,
was afterwards indicted by a Chester ' county
Grand Jury;"-and this (rue; bill was taken to -Govenor
Bigler, and he was called upon to do .:
his duty and bring the wretch to trial, but Mai
duty was never discharged. - It is true he made
tho requisition on the Governor of Maryland.
which his duty as a public oflicer compelled ,
him to do; but Gov. Lowe, in defiance of our
constitutional right?, refused to deliver up
the criminal. Thereupon, Gov. . Bigler writes
Gov. Lowe a letter, and there the matter drops; .
and McCreary walks abroad unpunished for .;
his crimes. At this open and almost unprece
dented insult to our State, does the Gover
nor show a proper degree of spirit, or does lioi."
meanly truckle to an outside iniluencel".
He tamely pockets the insult, and permits this
Jesuit Governor of Maryland to trample on our
constitutional rights, without another word, :
eve-n of remonstrance, on Uu. subject...., His
next message after the outrage passes over the
subject in silence, as unworthy of attention.
But ho did more than tamely submit. As if
to show his subserviency to slavery, and his
disregard for the rights of the Common
wealth, the very next Legislature, overflowing
with Bigler's friends, passed a rcsolntion, in
viting this same abettor of crime, this Lowe,
and other Stato cflScers, to visit Ilarrisburg as
tho honored guests of the State. Tho invita
tion was accepted, and' tho Maryland slave
holders, who may have thought hard of Peon- -sylvaniana
for asking the surrender of a man
as a criminal, when ho was only a kidnapper,
were conciliated at an expense to the tax-pay- '
era of this State, of something like six thousand
dollar. That is a specimen of the manner in
which Gov. Bigler has maintained the boner
aud dlgcitv of the State. Share, whre Is
