Democratic nartv. The order is believed to I
have originated in Boston. Inside, it is sup
posed they are known as the Blue Ribbon men,
and associated together under the name of TJ
nion Benevolent Association. Brownson, the
renowned Jesuit and editor of the Roman Ca
tholic Review, justifies this politico-religious
organization in a recent article, in which he I
says the Catholics have heretofore taken
their politics from one or another of the par
ties which divide the country, and have suf
fered the enemies of their religion to impose
their doctrines upon them, but it is time for
them to teach the country itself those moral
and political doctrines which flow from the
teachings of their own church." Here we get
an insight into the objects and aims of the
Molly'Maguire order, and the force that gives
it motion. Stripped of all disguise, its pur
pose is to acquire Political Power, and to se
cure offices and influen.ee in the government.
It is by such Jesuitical means the Roman
church is endeavoring to obtain a controlling
foothold in our country. And this viper,
the venom of whose bite would subvert and
endanger our free, Protestant institutions,
is lovingly embraced by the Democracy. In
future, any one of that party who wishes to
be elected to a State or Federal office, will
have to give Molly a hug, if he desires to se
cure the assistance of her minions.
- Ko Flisching. Our neighbor of the Belle
fonte Whig is laboring under a wrong impres
sion if he thinks we are despairing at the re
sult of the recent election. We are not in the
least discouraged, and we trust no other Op
ponent of Slavery Extension and Friend of
Protection to American Industry and of a Pro
testant .Nationality, will flinch a single inch
from his position. What's the use "crying
over spilled milk" that wont help matters.
Somebody had to be whipped, and we only
"acknowledged the corn." It is true, if our
friends had turned out at the recent election,
the result would have been different to what it
is. The vote was 97,000 short in the State,
55,000 of which were of the Opposition. It
is, therefore, plaiu that the inaction of our
own friends caused our defeat. So, you ob
serve, there is nothing specially discouraging
in the result, and we shall continue our hum
ble efforts against the Sham Democracy, and
their Molly Magutre and Slave-driving allies.
Tue Relief Bill, passed at the extra session
of the Legislature, it is thought is not answer

The banks are slow about accepting its provi

notes they put in circulation six mouths be-
lore they can compel their debtors to pay
the time fixed in the bill for the banks to re
sume specie payment, being in April, whilst
the collection of debts is postponed untH Oc
tober. The bank legislation, which will be
asked of our Legislature at the approaching
session, will be looked forward to with an uu
usual degree of interest, as upon its action
will depend in a great measure the continu
ance or settling of the present embarrassing
derangement of our currency.
Missesota. It is yet doubtful who is Gov
ernor of Minnesota, although the latest ac
counts favor the Republican candidate, Ram
say having 13,429 votes to Sibley's 12,735.
The Minnesota papers give accounts of gross
frauds perpetrated by the Democrats. Pem
bina county has a voting population of less
than a hundred, yet by setting drunken In
dians and starved-out lr sbmen to voting, a
Democratic majority of six hundred was re
turned. In McLeod county, 100 indians, wear
ing their blankets, voted. At Mankato, 75 In
dians, "glorying in paint and dirt, breech
cloth, leggins and all, were marched up to the
polls, and 'put through' according to the most
appioved Gorman style." By such means the
Democracy tried to carry the election in Min
nesota, and it is not yet certain but that they
have succeeded:
The Philadelphia Times has been merged

publisher of the Sun desires country subscri

which is published daily at $-4, and weekly at

Col. L. L. Tate, of the Columbia Democrat,

were pleased to make Lis acquaintance. He
Is almost as hand some a man as our brother
Brower, of the Montour American, who, we
understand, drew a premium for "good looks,"
at the late Editorial Convention. The only
objection we have to the Col. is, that he is
such a confirmed Democrat.

foreign countries. It is largely transhipped
from Liverpool to London, thence to France,
Germany, and other parts of Europe, to be

KANSAS AFFAIRS.
Last week we gave an account of the exten
election frauds in the Oxford precinct, in
Johnson county, Kansas. . These frauds were
so palpable that Gov. Walker, alter visiting
the precinct in person, ordered the returns
from there to be thrown out altogether. On
his return from Oxford, tie halted at Lawrence,
and taking out of his portfolio a large roll of
paper, said to the crowd that be would show
them a curiosity, if they promised not to de
stroy it. He then unrolled the returns of the
precinct of Oxford, which contained sixteen
hundred and one names, all written in the
same hand-writing, and all of which, except
120, were copied from "Williams' Cincinnati
Directory," in the same order in which they
appear upon the pages of the book.
As fast, however, as one fraud is disposed
of, another makes its appearance. Lvery mail
brino-s us some new development. The l'ro-

A
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune thus
tells how additions are to be made to their
numbers . in counties heretofore set down as
depidedly Free State
'Yesterday returns reached Lecoropton from
5cGee County, a very thinly populated dis-
tMct Jn tIle Southern part of Kansas, and lying
on the Missouri border. It is one of the fit-
teen counties that were formed into one dis
trict. It contains probably one hundred vo
ters, mostly pro-slavery. Yet lrom the three
precincts, twelve hundred and two votes are re
turned, all pro-slaverv. This counterbalances
the vote of all the other counties on Ileprcsen
tatives. and elects the Ruffian candid ltes. It
remains to be seen whetner Stanton will throw
them out. The same objections nrged against
the Oxford vote can bo urged against the MC
Gee returns.
"Marshall County has elected a pro-slavery
Representative. Marvsville, in this county, is
the i.l.ica where, on the memorable dOth ot
March. 1855. fifteen men cast six hundred
votes by marchinjj around the house all . day
and votinar eacli time. The same game has
been re-enacted.
"These two, with Leavenworth and Atchi

that nearly all the precincts in Linn and Lyk

are to be thrown out on account of informality
in the proceedings. Should this be done
will elect two more Rufhans, and make seven
teen members for them in the lower House.
"The Doniphan Council District, which com
prises Doniphan. Xetnaha, Brown, Pottawata-
mie, Riley and Marshall counties and Luttato
is yet to be. heard from. It elects three. The
usurpation will make strenuous efforts to car
ry it by the returns, and I inniK wm succeed.
"Fottawatamie and Kiley counties have not
been heard from, and the Ruffians will bring
in false returns enough to carry them. Ihey
will move heaven, earth and hell to carry a
bare majority of the Legislature. If the swin
dle succeeds, the coming winter will witness
some illustrations of the doctrine of mdividu
al responsibility."
Excitement is Baltimore. At the late mu
nicipal election in Baltimore city, Maryland,
there was a serious riot, caused by a parcel of
foreigners of the eighth ward firing upon the
policemen and killing one. To-day will be
held the State election, and though the city is
quiet and orderly, yet Gov. Ligon, of that
State, has issued a proclamation declaring in
advance that Baltimore is under martial law,
and has ordered out a volunteer force of some
"000 men. A public mejting was called, and
a large number of citizens have "asked the Go
vernor to withdraw his proclamation. Theof
ficers of the military had called on him and
made known their design not to obey his or
ders; but the enrollment of a special military
force, pursuant to his orders, was still pro
gressing. Meantime, the Mayor has been pre
paring his arrangements. The Governor has
manifestly transcended his authority and com
mitted a gross and aggravated error. It is ev
idently an unwarranted usurpation of power,
for a Governor, in time of peace, to assume
jurisdiction ojrer, at.d set at defiance all mu
nicipal authority.
X. B. By the last mail we learn that Gov
Ligon has backed out, leaving the Mayor to
t.tkc care of the city.
A dispatch from Washington city under date
if C'ct. GO, says : Previous to the election in
Kansas, Gov. Walker received specific instruc
tions from the administration relative to his
duty on that subject, and which precluded him
lrom purging me poll, as lie recently did in
rejecting the return of Oxford precinct. Act
ing without the authority lrom ashington,
and clearly contrary to instructions, his con
duct is, emphatically condemned, there is
reason for lielief that both Gov. v alker and
Secretary Stanton will be removed, unless
they snail choose to resign.
Hard Mosey. The Democracy, every time
there is a monetary pressure, attribute it to a
paper circulation, and bawl out lustily for a
"hard money currency." Now, as they have
frequently had heretofore, they have the Na
tional and a majority of the State govern
ments under their control. If, therefore, they
are sincere in their advocacy of a "hard mo
ney currency," tbey will give it to us now.

STMKAEY OF NEWS.
A drover while lately crossing the Great
Plains, .unnecessarily killed a woman and
child, of the Snake Indians, and fired at a war
chief of the tribe. In consequence these In
dians are incensed. As they have heretofore
been on remarkably good terms with the
whites, and steadjly refused to take part with
the Mormons, the fear is they may now depart
from their friendly policy. The Interior De
partment will at once take measures to repair,
if possible, the mischief thus occasioned.

were adopted strongly condemnatory of the
action of Messrs. Walker and Stanton, in" re

and Secretary is characterized as highhanded
and illegal, and a usurpation of the power
belonging only to the Legislature.

WHAT ABE FABTY NAMES 1
Since the palmy days of the Old Whig Par
ty there has been no permanent consolidated
opposition to Locofocoism.
1 he broken fragments ot tnat once great
national party which was buried in the graves
of Clay and of Webster have been divided.
Its btrength as a unit was gone. Its powerful
leaders had passed away, andN tugs. who found
tnt.mseiv-es without a party organization were.
compelled to seek associations in politics but
little congenial to their true sentiments, and
often in direct violation of the principles they
professed.
.Now there is a great party in this country to
which every true Old Whig can go and unite
himself. It is the party which holds to all the
cardinal principles of Henry Clay.; It is the
party that hails under the name that was nrst
given to the- Whigs, and which is identified
with the government itself. It is the party
which protests againt the ruinous rule of Lo
cofocoism ; which proclaims everywhere the
doctrine of protection to the free white labor
of America ; which calls upon the government
to give us a tariff that will protect our own
manufacturers and workingmen against the ten
cent labor of Great Britain : which asserts the
rights of the white man to our territories;
which denies to the slaveholder any power un
der the Constitution tr the laws to carry his
slave beyond the jurisdiction of the State that
tolerates his favorite institution: which says
to him, keep your negroes where they belong,
but yon shall not bring them in competition
with our industrious citizen, to degrade his la
bor and destroy his s.lf-respect. It is the
partv which opposes the r ree 1 rade l'ro-blave-
ry dictation of Southern Locofocoism, and will
not consent that the Lnion and the Constitu
tion shall be put in jeopardy by a sectional
Southern party who now control our Govern-
mett,and who are determined to"rule or rum."
Despising all fanaticism and sectionalism
whether it be Pro-Slavery Free Tradeism on
the one hand, or Abolitionism on the other it
stands by the principles of freedom, of pro
tection to American interests, of the rights of
the poor man everywhere, of eternal opposi
tion to the treasonable conspiracy of Molly Ma-
guircism against our constitutional unetiy.
and in support of the "Constitution and the
Union, one and inseparable, now and forever."
This party is at this moment Mronger in its
defeit than its enemies in their success. It
must both' overruling power in politics. It
is built upon a rock. Its strength is in its e
qual rights, in its morality, its justice, truth
and its noble Christian principles. Governed
by these motives, the friends of this party arc
content to stand fast and bide their time.
They may call themselves Reptiblicans.Whigs,
Democrats or American Republicans, they are
ail striving for the great principles ivc all hold
dear, and there is a determination now to
work together in one party organization m
union and in harmony that shall accomplish in
tho eud our future triumph. Phil'a Sun.

power has turned to an older friend for aid
and comfort. Judge Cato has issued a writ
commanding the Governor and Secretary to

bly attended Judge Cato's procedings, he
dispatched the paper by an officer who was
fundus officio, the sheriff under nhom he had
been deputy having been superseded and his
successor sworn in, on the previous day. Gov.
