The following incontrovertable factsought to be sufficient to convince any man of the ne cessity of checking, in soma m anner, the pro miscuous emigration pouring upon our shores. The Guardians of the Poor in Philadelphia report, for the month ending 30th of April, 1355, the inmates of the Alms house to be 1, 655. Of these 252 are Americana, and 1,303 are Foreigners ! Since January the 1st, there were lodged in the Bethlehani Station House, Northampton county, two hundred and ten paupers, ell for eigners but two ! In the Kings county Alms house, (New York) the whole number is 4 9, all foreigners tut 41! In the Hospital, at the same place, the whole number is 475, of which 134 are na tives, and S41 foreigners!

At the Jersey City Station house, iu the last four months, SGI persons have been accommo dated, of whom 137 were Americans, and 727 Tureigiiers. Can the Americas Tax -payer red this list, and not acknowledge the necessity of some restriction upon the present promiscuous em igration of foreigners! LEGISLATIVE. The Legislature having determined to ad journ finally on the 8th of May, we presume it is no longer in session. On Monday the . Senate passed finally the Bill to incorporate :sc Mushannon Coal and Iron Company, and the bill to charter the Alleghany and Bald Ea gle Railroad Company. In the Ilouse the Ap propriation Bill passed finally. Oa Tuesday the Senate voted down the bill to repeal the "Act to restrain the sale of in toxicating liquors." The House passed final ly the "Act to iucorate the Marietta Pier Com pany." AIso,"Aa Act for the relief of John W. "Wright, late Treasurer of Clearfield county' Ca Wednesday, the Senate were engaged ia considering the bill for the sale of the Main Line of the Public Works. The House pass ed finally the bill fixing the compensation of Members of the Legislature at $500, by a vote of 17 to 42. On Thursday the Senate passed finally, with . amendments, the Appropriation Bill. The House passed finally the bill extending the charter of the Bank of Commerce. Also the Act to authorize Courts to alter and amend charters in certain cases. Oa Friday the Senate passed finally the bill for the Sale of the Main Line, fixing the min imum price at $8,000,000. The bill fixing the salary of members of the Legislature at $500 a session, was passed finally. It is now before the Governor for his approval. The House passed finally ..he supplement to the General Appropriation Bill. Having received no daily papers since Satur day, wo have no news later than Friday. The present Post Office arrangements are enough to make n angel swear. ANOTHER EXPOSURE. The Pittsburg Gazette contains another "Know Nothing" Exposition, which it says -'is the first development of which we have felt sure that it is unquestionably genuine.' It certainly looks a little more sensible than te splendid production which emanated from the prolific brain of the immortal MahafTey, and if it be true, is just such an institution as every true lover of his country and its insti tutions ought to join. So far from swearing to "perjure themselves in a Court of Justice," and conspiring to overthrow the Constitution and liberties of their country, the members taie the following oath "You do hereby solemnly declare yourdevo tion to the Union of these States; that in the discharge of your duties as American citizens, you will uphold, maintain and defend it; that you will discourage and discountenance any and every attempt coming from any and every quarter, which you believe to be designed or calculated to destroy, or subvert it, or to weak en its bonds ; and that yon will use your influ ence, as fr as in your power, in endeavoring to procure an amicable and equitable adjust ment of ail political discontents or differences, which may threaten its injury or overthrow." " Yet strange to say, this eminsntly patriotic seatlment,eppear3 to be the only ground of ob jection taken by the editor of the Gazette, who happens to be a rabid. Abolitionist, and we sup pose, to carry out his principlas, would be wil . ling to sacrifice the union of these States. What true Democrat, would hesitate for a moment to adopt such a crede ! Is it not the very doc trine that tho party calling itself by that name. b3s preached, on every occasion, and if tiacere ia their professions, why should they liesiiaie to bind themselves to the support of the prin ciple by an oath? If this is Know Nothing ism, then uay we truly gloi-y ia the name. The preservation of the Ameieaa Union, and tao amicable and equitable adjustment of all discontents or . differences that may threaten iit overthrow, axe objects well worthy an or- ?snictio4 f-ut4v born America freemen. THE LATE LICENSE LAW. It is exceedingly impolitic, to say the least, for public journals to denounce a law, having for its object a great moral reform, and thus prejudice public opinion against it, before it goes into operation. ' We Lave no doubt the late License Law has some defects, nor is it, viewed in its most favorable aspect, such a law as temperance men desire, or as will effec tually restrain the sale of intoxicating liquors. But will denunciation and ridicule make the matter any better 1 Will it not, upon the con trary, be productive of the most serious inju ry? It maybe true that many of those who now drink at rum shops will lay in a "jug" for drinking at home, but this is no argument against the law, or any other restriction up on the liquor traffic that will lesson the evils of intemperance. If the law be only partiall enforced, it will prevent much evil. For al though it will not prevent the laying in of a stock for "home consumption," it will pre vent those who have not the ready means to purchase a "stock" to "lay in," from buying liquor at every corner at three cents a glass. This will reduce the "drunkards at home" to those whose present means are sufficient to prevent their wives and children from starving and freezing under their intemperance. It will, in a great measure, protect the poor, who labor for daily wages, from the temptation to drink at every corner, and whose wives and children suffer for the bread, clothing, and fuel thct might have been bought with the money thus expended for liquor. A man with a wife and six children works for seventy-five cents daily, spends 12J cents of it for liquor, goes home drunk nightly, is ill-natured, ty rannical, and abuses those whom he is bound to protect. His annual receipts are only $231, and of those $39 are expended in liquor; an expenditure which not only robs his children of many necessaries, out makes him a tyrant at his own hearth. But as his intemperance inevitably increases, his income diminishes through time lost in debauchery, and through its consequent sickness, while more of that scanty income is expended in liquor. How much 'stock' can this poor man lay in from his scanty daily wages- And if he can find it j only at some store distant from his Lome and his work, where he dare not drink it, but must carry it away, how often will he step aside to procure it! There is a very great difference between this,and openly meeting him at every corner with the temptation to drink. Let the law keep it out of his daily way, and he will sooner renounce it than encounter difficulty and disgrace ia seeking it. But shall we make a distinction between the rich and the poor? Enact a law which the rich can evade because they are rich, and which the poor must obey because they are poor? This is not democratic. Wc answer that it is J eminently democratic, because it enables the poor to improve their condition, by removing from their reach what inevitably makes their condition worse; and that we make r.o legal distinction between the rich and the poor, by a law which equally commands all. The rich make the distinction to their own injury. If the law car.noi effectually prever.t that, tho cause must be saught in the insufficien cy of any law to change the moral characters and dispositions of men. Law can merely restrain acts. It can terrify bad men from crime, Lut cannot eradicate their desire to commit it. If this be anti-democratic, we should like a little more of such aris tocracy, for it protects the poor from vice, poverty and suffering, and dots not so protect the rich, not because it would not, but because they will not be so protected. Let us then give the law a fair trial, and if it be found practically impossible, or injurious, why, repeal or amend it. We cannot but be lieve that defective as it is, it will be produc tive of a vast deal of good. There are many men now who drink at the splendidly decora ted bar of the tavern, that will scorn carrying the soul destroying beverage to their homes by the "jug" full, and will soon rejoice in the compulsion that makes them temperate. And there are others also, who cannot resist the temptation that meets them at every step who will rejoice in this compulsory deliverance. And if there are those who will lay in their ''jugs" and thus provide means for maintain ing a hell at their own firesides, wives and mothers, may have sufficient sense of respon sibility to both husband and children to break the jugs. And we presume that men fit to bo husbands and fathers, however they may storm and rave when drunk, will thank their wives when sober for preventing them and their off spring from rushing headlong to the drunk ards hell. Any wife could make her home too hot to hold one of her own sex, to whom she thought her husband a little too partial, could she not raise as much thunder and lightning over, and exercise as much address in getting rid of the jug? But this opposition, say the rumsellers, would disturb domestic tranquility. The jug' don't disturb it though! Not a bit of it! ELECTION IN PHILADELPHIA. During last week the opponents of Ameri canism were standing about our corners "crow ing" over what they termed the "Know Noth ing defeat" in Philadelphia, but the mail on Saturday evening, bringing the official returns, rather knocked tho wind out of them. Their tune changed, and they began to laugh "out of the wrong side of the mouth." The Amer icans have not only elected their City Trea surer and Commissioner over tho "fusionists" mat have a majority in, both the select and Common Councils.

For the Journal. LOCOFOCO FROSELY'TIStt. The American party is, at present, in the flood tide of fortune. The principles it pro fesses to promulgate, have their foundation in an enlightened patriotism, and commend them selves, with irresistible strength, to the people. They are not novel dogmaa, as ephemeral as worthless ; they are not empty dreams of phil osophy; they are not specious theories of uni versal brotherhood, or of such democracy as was preached by Anacharsis Clcotz, and Marat. The principles of the American party have their foundation in the great ideas of self-preservation and self-government. The principles of the locofoco party if those may be called principles which exist up on an utter want of principle are rapine, the lust of aggrandizement, devotion to our for eign population, a truckling subservience to Southern interests, and spoils. In support cf such noble ends, the leaders of the party are ready to sanction any means, even the most atrocious and revolting. To promote their views, the country is forever distracted by in ternal dissensions, and threatened with th? miseries of ioreign war. The miscreants who constitute the locofoco smhedrim are eternal ly tampering with the Constitution, and set ting at defiance all morality ami all law, in the hope of discovering some plausible device, to engage for the moment, the sympathies of the people. Let the scene be too transparent to delude even the weakest, they shift the odium, with unblushing effrontery, upon their oppo nents ; let it for a space succeed, all opposi tion to it is denounced as traitorous, and sub versive of the constitution. Thus they preach, and thus they practice. Every now and then, the people unmask their villainy, and drive them with indignant cries from the high places they have disgraced ; but the lust of office, and the ingenuity of unscru pulous demagogucism, soon bring back the broken phalanx in very decent order of battle. The science of vchipping-in is well understood in their camp. Within the last two years the locofoco lead ers have ventured several audacious moves. These have failed of success. The great detn ocraHc party has, like the distinguished Mr. Soule, been retired from office, although in kis case, the retirement was voluntary. Govern ors, legislators, senators and representatives in Congress, el id omne gcna, who profess the locofoco credo, are few and far between. Nor is this all. The propect is as threatening as the retrospect. Even the strongholds of the South arc wavering. In Virginia, Mr. Wise, the renegade Whig, his at last discovered that SAM is ubiquitous. The untiring vigilance of Americans will no more sleep in the South, than it has slept in the North, and it is not pre sumptuous to prophesy that, with the single exception of South Carolina, we abandon her, as hopelessly locofoco, every So?:thern and Western State will give in their adhesion to the principles, and their support to tvie or ganization of the great American p'irty. Just now, it is amusing to observe the t vf ics of the locofoco organs. The shock of ' feat has been so sudden and so paralyzing, tin: the bear-leaders have scarcely yet had tit.- : to mould their antagonism into a consi-'-.-nt shape, and to give the proper cue to the to use a Scotticism, of which they are '.?: mouth-piece. The natural consequence !.-. that a multitude of plans, a strange variety ; f crude, inconsistent, experimental tricks are resorted to. The vocabulary of Eillinisgate has been exhausted in opprobrious declama tions. The resources of rhetoric (of the high falu'in sty 1 seem inadequate to express the devotion of the Iocofocos to the Constitution, and their terror, lest the K. N. conspiracy should undermine that palladium of our liber ties. The language of g;ntle reproach, exhor tations of the pathetic kind, breathing "more of sorrow than of anger," are the medium by which it is hoped to woo back to the beneficent arms of Democracy, those children of the faith who have gone over to the enemy. And stranger than all, seductive as 'the voice of the charmer, charm he never so wisely is the tone of 'respectful consideration,' employe ! towards those members of the old Whig party, who have as yet declined to unite with the American organization. This last performance is rather too bare-faced. The insolence of such sympathy of such mock sentimental consolations of such aspirations to brotherhood in misfortune, rises even above the ordinary pitch of locofoco ef frontery. We can scarcely credit it, even white wc hold tho proofs before or.r eyes. To see the consistent, unfaltering, unscrupulous, malignant calumniators ever since the com mencement of their political existence, in tho attitude of fawning adulators of the Whigs, is almost enough to make us, "doubt truth to be a liar." Do these sagacious journalists and orators imagine that a few soft words, a batch of in genious compliments, a profuse application of what Sam Slick calls "soft sawder," can atone for the slanders and the injuries of a Thirty Years War 1 Do they fancy that the whigs, who have always resisted locofoco dominion, who have always denounced locofoco partisans, and torn the veil from their criminal designs, in the midst of locofoco triumphs, and under the frown of locofoco power, will now, when their enemy is routed "horse, foot, and dragoons-," when the weapons which have hereto fore been resistless, are struck powerless from their hands; when in the despair of anticipated dissolution, they are wildly looking round for some help in their time of trouble, for some friend to ward off the impending blow; do they fancy that the whigs will step forward to their aid ? We commend them to a devout application to the comfort contained in the ad ditional beatitude of Professor Julius Ciesar Hannibal : "Blessed are' they who expect nothing, for they shall not be disappointed." There 'undoubtedly is aomo diversity of opinion among the whigj, as to the expediency of amalgamating, inform, with a party, which, wbJIe It teems to be new one, yet sustains 1 and professes t promulgate principlesVlways advocated by the Whigs. But nothing can be more decided, as to the point of sympathy be tween the Whigs and the Americans, than", the known, open, energetic co-operation of an im mense majority of the oil whig partizans, with the movement, which in the campaigns of the" last year, has given the coup de grace to loco focoism. And nothing can be more conspicu ous, than the contemptuous disdain with which all true Whigs, whether allied with Aniericar. ism in form, or not, receive all approaches to amity, or union with their natural foes the Iocofocos. A few, it is likely, who have occasionally called themselves whigs, have turned the summersault, and now profess to believe im plicitly in the locofoco faith. The exception proves the rule. It is never very prudent, at least very charitable, to seek to penetrate to the motives which induce the course familiar ly known as "rang." It is, moreover, a great waste of ammunition to fire artillery up on rats. They are not worth the powder it would take to Kill them. If any their be, who ever were really whigs, among the late prose lytes of the Iocofocos their name cannot be Legion we wish them joy of their conversion. Wc advise them carefully to hoard up the compliments tln;ir new friends will lavish upon the ir noble conduct. We recommend them to put their noses down to the grindstone, without a murmur, and if, after a seven years' probation, the Rachel of their affections shall be accorded in tho shape of a fat office, or an henorary title, we shall then applaud their dis cretion, and rejoice in their good fortune. A WHIG. O VEapos kd. Th? outrageous display of in solence and ovcrserism made by the people of Northern Missouri at the recent election in Kansas, was rather too strong a dose for the sjnsible portion of the slaveholders them selves. They see that it must react to the ut ter discomfiture of the slave influence among even the most contemptible of Northern doughfaces, and that the wave must now be stayed, by some show of disapproval from the Southern prosl.ivery organs. One of the most rabid of these, as we have observed, - is the Louisville DetrocraX. a thorough Fierce and Douglass advocate yet we find the following in that piper of Saturday. Speaking of the destruction of the Parkville Luminary, at t !i :j suggestion of tho Platte Jrcus. and the most outrageous invasion of Kansas by the Mis souri ins, t h i Democrat thus speaks: "We believe that the people of Missouri and of Kansas had good reason to feci excited with the conduct of the emigrating societies of the East, and their aiders and aWttors in 5Iissouri, but still wc cannot find it in our na ture to do otherwise than to express our con demnation of the outrage." "It would be well perhaps for Missouri, and Kansas, also, if the press of that country was conducted by responsible and reasonable men. The .irgtit has shown Itself little bet ter than tho Luminary it so fiercely denoun ced." Considering the fact that the Democrat would seek by every means to palliate the in solent conduct of the Missouri ruffians, the above paragraphs are very significant. That Kansas business, in the long run. will result more injuriously to the Slave Power than would the circulation of a million Ant is'.avery documents. The dullest dolt can ee in that outrage the Southern doctrine of Southern rishts. Indian Raftsmen. We have been frequent ly puzzled to account for the large proportion of Indians among the raftsmen who appear with the opening of tho lumbering season on the Allegheny. Some of them are fine broad shouldered, athletic fellows, who habile a sweep with great energy and endurance of the severe to:l of managing those immense rafts. Others are quite neat, gentlemanly looking men when oifduty, but too many are sad tip plers. We, indeed, saw one old fellow, a half breed, yesterday, with a glowing red face ami a perfectly Baldolphiatr nose a genuine guz zler. Standing c1;sj leside him was a gen teel looking well-dressed Indian, apparently of middle age, and unmixed blood, lie spoke good English, and talked intelligently. We learned from him that he and a number of oth er Indians with him were taking passage on the steamer Diurnal, to Wellsville, to go home to the Allegheny Reservation, via Cleveland and Dunkirk. He informed us that he and those then with him were of the Cornplanter tribe, but ir,a:iy of the Indian raftsuien are from the tribes located in New York, whose number wo found to be much larger than we bad imagined. lie says there are numerous excellent schools aniosg the tribes, and most of the young Indians learn to speak, rea l and write English. They are no longer ruled by their own chiefs, but governed entirely by the State laws. The Cornplanter tribe are loca ted in Pennsylvania, on the Allegheny Reser vation. There are remnants of live other tribes in Western New York. Ho estimates the Cornplanters at 900 to 1000; the Oavugas at 5')0 to COO; the Oneidas at GOO to 7W; the Onondagas about 1200; the Tuscaroras 1000; the Mohawks 1-300. Altogether G000. Fills. Despatch. Mr. Wise taken Adack. We have very good authority for the correctness of the fol lowing anecdote: Mr: Wise, the Accomac Pilgrim, was addressing a large assemblage somewhere in Virginia the other day, and iu his characteristic style abusing the Know Nothings. 'Ls there one of that secret trai torous clan here present," he exclaimed, "if so let biai show bis l ice." No one rose. Vociferous cheering and shouting. Mr. Wise gathering fresh vigor and vehemence, "If there's a Know Nothing in--the - room 1 chal lenge him to stand up like a man 1" Congre gation remain seated. Tremendous applause and vociferation. Mr. Wise brim full of gall and bitterness charging rounds 'Stund up, ye lousy, godless, christless set, stand up, I defy ye, if there be one here present!" An old gentlemen in the rear of the room slowly rises, and blandly remarks, "Sam ! get up!" whereupon two-thirds of the assem' ly spring to their feet. It is said that Mr Wise was so confounded by this unexpected result that he did not resume his speech.-- Wilming ton (.V. C.) JleralJ.

The Newark Eagle, formerly one of the most ultra Democratic journals in the country, holds the following language in reference to the American Party: We think, and have so thought for a long time past, that the time has arrived when eve ry man of patriotic impulses should unite his fortunes with the American party. We had hoped to see the Democratic party adopt the leading principles of the former, but whether it do so or not, we do not hesitate to declare our preference for the American creed, as now advanced and maintained in the State of Vir gin; i, the birth-place of the father of j3meri i an Democracy Thomas Jefferson w ho wish ed that there was an ocean of fire between this country and Europe. - In taking" this posit.on we are not awcrethat we are severing-the chain that has hitherto bound us to the Democratic party. If the con stituted organs of that jwrty will not heed the voice of the people as heard in thunber tones through the ballot-box, they must not blamo the American portion of their Democratic readers, if they refuse to be longer guided by their advice or influenced their reasoning.

His vessel, the Thali i, immediately hoist ed her colors and fell to the lee of the cruiser. this being, he says, a customary mane of cour tesy towards a man-of-war. The compliment thus paid was politely answered, and the Thalia permitted to pass on. Th writer then adds: The Hickman, of Boston, next came within hail of the Spaniard ; and instead of doing as we did, hoist his bunting, that it might bo seen that he belonged to a civilized country, he doggedly attempted to move awjy, not dis posed to tell his country. The Spaniard (not knowing but the schooner might bo a pirate, or a 'fiUibtister,') fired a blank shot across his bow to bring him to bis senses. This had no effect. A second shot was fired across the stern of tin.; schooner; and as these two hintsdid not produce any effect, the Spaniard pitched a bail towards the hull of the Hickman. This bro't the schooner up. The vessel was overhauled, and suffered to depart after the officer who went on board found out she was a legitimate trader. Listeia.

Viewing It as an experimental eilort to civilize and christianize the natives cf Africa, and to improve their political and social con dition, the colonization system, as adopted by the people of the United .States, has been em inently successful."

Secret societies, aiming at tho political independence of the Colonics, have t een formed throughout the provinces. The Commissioners of Crown Lauds intro duced in the Provincial Parliment a bill to render the Legislative Council elective, and being thus a government measure it will, no doubt, pass.
