0:7" Notice by Dr. M. A. Henderson
.The," . ..Toninel,". and ITS Consistency.
We have at last succeeded waking up
the hypocritical addle-heads of the llienting
don Journal, and promise to keep them awake
for some time. To show the . consistency of
the Journal we will give a fell/ extracts from
-that gaper;
Betore the - late General eleCtion the .I:our
itat gav_its opinion of Know i iNtothingism in
.thefollow.ing words :
• 'its it not brit' a plan for - office hiinters to
raise thernselve;s to posts which have long eln
decl:th'eir grasp ? Is it not a secret. as'socia
tion' avowedly for political purposes, AND
TX-h.REPO-RD WORSE THAN ANY OF THE SE
CRET ASSOCX,ATIO,NS IN THEM WORST DAYS'?"
After the result of the — election became
known we find the following in tile:Journal:
"We have the proud gratification of an
nouncing to our friends a glorious triumph of
American (Know Nothing) principles thro%
out ,theState.?'
With the.permission of the hiznimal of the
Journal, We will state how it happened that
he got himself into such a split :stick. He
was very anxious to be with the big crowd of
his party, but his: ears being in the tray he
- could not see to the right and left at the same
time, so he informed his friends in, Shirleys
bUrg that as:soon as he could discover which'
faction of his .party was the strongeSt the
Journal would speak out in favor of the most
nurrierons, faction. As the Whig party had
..been in the majority in the county for years,
n old,liner suggested to the hanimal that it
must continue so, and straightway he gives
his opinion of Know Nothingism as quoted
above. But the result of the election showed
that the Whig party was no where, and pres
to, change ! the Journal was the organ of "a
secret association avoyedly for political purpo
ses, and therefore . Wo.B.SE, - than any' .of the
secret associations in their WORST days."
But again. In the Journal of last weeCive .
find the' following truly rich .moisel of the
Journal's hypocricy, to say nothing of its on
sistency: - -Speaking of the Know Not hity , s'
"supple jack" refusing to,.acknowlrdge the'
Globe the organ of his party, the Journal says:
"Such being the case, we deem it superflu
ous to notice anything which it (the
,Globe)
might see- proper, to say, if We did not think
it to he a duty we owe to the great and glori
ous Whig party, the principles of which we
hold dearer than life; and to whose interests
we would be willing to sacrifice our.all !"
Is the "great and glorious Whig . part)"
and Know Nothingisrri one 'in principles as
the great ;Whig, patty "used to was'!" Have
the old line Whigs of Huntingdon county who
refuse to join "a secret association Worse than
any of - the secret associations in their worst
days," got an organ in the county ? That is
the question for the Journal and , the Whigs
to answer.
Some few individuals, including the
addle-headed editors 'of the Huntingdon Jour
nal, who are employed to do the dirty' work
for the bigoted leaders of the Know Nothing
• Order, have lately been very industriously
engaged in circulating - that we-are a Catholic.
We can inform all who have any desire to
kricrw, that we never have been a Catholic—
neither are we a hypocritical professor in any
other church. Can the addle-heads of the
Journal, and others who appear to be peculi
arly interested, Mak an honest community
in the lace and say the same 1
We have a friendly feeling towards Chris
tians of all churches,—we are tolerant in our
opinions—and we believe a good Catholic
must be an honest man, and as such, if he be
an American citizen, is entitled to the enjoy
• rent of the same privileges claimed by wor
shippers In any other church. In this county,
many of its oldest citizens are Catholics, and
they have always beer. considered as respec
t *table and as good citizens as their neighbors.
'" s ` A majority of them have always acted with
the Whigs, and maybe doing so still—but if
they posseiis good .common sense they will
not lung be found acting with their - former
friends, who are now secretely sworn to
per
secute them to the "bitter end.",
- - Township Elections.
We lave received returns but from three or
four townships.
In Unior, M. F. Campbell, K. N., was de
feated for Justice of the Peace, by J. J. •Pos
tlethwait, Dem.
In Walker, Abram States, Dem., was elect
ed Justice of the Peace - over A. Fraker, K. N.
Barret, went anti-Know Nothing.-
Jackson went for the Know Nothings.
We suppose in most of the townships the
Know Nothings were successful, as there ap
peared to be but little or -no effort made to
defeat them.
117 — .A. - correspandent of the United States
Gazette, writing from Harrisburg, hopes the
Know-Nothing party Will be spared the fatal
results the election of Gen. Cameron would
bring upon them. If that's so, we say Si
mon "point up !"
Oa - The Journal addle-heads *are sorely
troubled because we Presuirtedlto express an
opinion favorable to the selection of Simon
Cameron as United States Senator. It is true
we, have no voice r ic the, Know-Nothing
councils, and solong as the members of that
order acted as one man and supported this
caneus . nornineesive were„cotitent with the
position of a looker-on. But as- soon as we
discovered the glaring evidence that the Whig
and Abolition -politicians, the most sorrupt,
in the State, had been making "hewers of
wood and drawers of water" of the Demo
cratic Know-Nothings for the purpose of hav
ing thernseiveS elevated to all the offices of
honor and profit, we appointed ourself a
committee of one with power to instruct
Gen. Cameron, (as there was Tto possible„
chance for the success of the Democratic
caucus nominee or any other old lino Demo
crat) to continue to point up!" And until
We can see,a. possible chance for the_elec
lion of one of our own -hsusehold' we shall
continue to say - Sinitin "point , up !"—the
braying of -the thing of tho Journal and the
capers of the,"supple jack" to the contrary
notwithstanding:
Borough and Township Election
We give below the full returns of the elec
tion held in this place on Fri:iay last. We
are not certain that all the successful candi
dates'are members of "a secret association
worse than any of the secret associations in
their worit days," and therefore shall' wait .
until we hear from the knowing ones, before
we give them - the political position they_ are
by right entitled to enjoy.-- Those in italics,
have heretofore acted with the Democratic

FROM CALIFOiINIL—The steamship Nol th.
ern Light arriQd at New York on Saturday
even iug. Business in San . Francisco was en
tirely suspended, caused by the suspension of
five•banking houses. There were also ru
mors of heavy failures among the merchants.
Owing to the scarcity of water but little gold
had been taken from the mines. No election
of U. S. Senator had taken place, and the
joint convention had adjourned sine die.
Several large fires had occurred in many of
the cities and towns. The Indian troubles
were on the increase. Flour was selling at
$l5.
The columns of the Globe have been
weekly ladened with libidinous and absurd
articles, concerning the 1Cn01.7-Nothings.--
Journal.
If the Journal editors are not members of
"a secret asssociation worse than any of the
secret associations in their worst days," how
can they know whether our articles are "lib
idinous and absurd," or not. If they are
members of such an association their denial
of the truth of what we publish amounts to
nothing, as they are instructed if not sworn,
to LIE, and know-nothing.
Important to Poptmasters and to the
Public
We are requested to call special attention
to the law just passed by Congress modify
ing the rates of postage, &c., particularly to
those provisions requiring that all letters be
tween places in the United States shall he
prepaid from and after the Ist of April, 1855,
by stamps or otherwise and that, from and
after the first day of January next postmas
ters must place postage stamps upon all pre
paid letters upon which such stamps may
not have been placed by the writers, or which
may not be enclosed in stamped envelopes.
From and after the first of April, 1855,
the postage to be charged on each single let
ter for any distance in the United States not
exceeding 3,000 miles is three cents, and over
3,000 miles ten cents.
The law does not change the existing
rates or regulations in regard to letters to or
from Canada or other foreign countries, nor
does it affect the franking privilege.
Tire provision in retard to .the registration
of valuable' letters will be carried into effect,
and special instructions issued to postmasters
on the subject, as soon as the necessary
blanks can • be prepared and distributed.
We beg to suggest that editors generally
throughout the United States. would render
an essential service to their readers by call
ing attention to this subject. —Washington

PeririSylvania• Legislature,
PAOPESSIONS , yEastrs .PaAcTrce.—Since
the . state government - passed in to the hands
of the anomalous .party now in power, we
have quietly watched the Course •of events
without, thus far, seeing. the fulfilment of
any of the promises made previous , to the
election. . Know-Nothings seeking office are
entirely different from know-nothings in of
fice. Before the election they were eloquent
in depicting existing' evils and promising
effectual remedies. Among the leading
measures to which they pledged-themselves,
arid certainly the most important, Were the
sale of the pnblic improvements anti the ab
olition of the canal-board.. In addition to
these.the time of naturalization was 'to be
extended, politico-religious association's over
thrown, the requirements of the conotitution
strictly obeyed; and economy and reeerm in
troduced into every department of the gov- .
ernmene. Taking them at their word, the
voters of the state, by - e n unprecedented ma
jority, testified their approbation of the'
principles thus distinctly put forth.
Under these obligations the present legis
lature assembled and the new administration
took up the reins of power. After a lapse of
more than two months , nothing has been
done evincing a serious intention of putting
in practical form a single - measure to which
they staml.pledged before the world. - Their
promised economy and reform • have been
exemplified in numerous adjournments, trav
elling toward all points of the compass, un
less. waste of time, and providine , for an ex
tra session.. Serious duties, anti, important
legislation have been almost entirely neglec
ted-under frivolous pretexts or-A. reckless .dis
regard of even seeming excuses.
Are this trifling and• inaction to continue
to the - end I Was - the programme of the
campaign, - solemnly presented to the people
before the last election, intended' to end in a
farce at the expense of their disappointed
hopes and depleted treasury ? Is the history
of the present Legislature Co continue to its
close what it is up to the present time--a
history of broken Prothises, unredeemed
pledges, neglect - of constitutional duty, child
ish travelling and unnecessary expenditures?
Should it turn out thus, it will be consoling to
reflect that there will .not be another 'like it
during the present century.-
e Notwithstanding the worst is to be appre
hended from past indications, there are some
among' their,confiding constituents who'still
hope for. better Things—that reflection and an
awakened sense of duty will torn their rep-,
resentatives from a career of folly to a labo
rious discharge of their official obligations.—
We ebnfrss we see but little ground for such
a.lope. Suspicious movements already por
tend that no fair and effectual steps will be ta
ken to carry out
,any salutary measure, or
Any of the measures promised before the
election. Especially' is, this the Case in re
tard to the. momentous movement for the
sale of the piiblic works, the promise of
which carried away more democratic coon
ties and democratic voters to swell the dorni- I
nant majority than all other causes combified.
Bills for selling the different divisions will
probably pass, hampered with terms and
conditions to defeat their operation; specious
ly framed to be a seeming compliance with
an unqualified pledge. But that any provis
ion will be made intended in good faith to
effect the sale, there is little reason to bed
lieve.
And - so it is with all their promises and
their dealings with all the public interests.
Finesse, fol:y and chicane are in the ascend
ant, and duplicity and• recklessness the order
of the day. Thebusiness to which they ad
dress themselves most earnestly is the man
ufacture of banks, thus shoWing a wonderful
perspicacity in discovering the most potent
method of doing evil within their reach, and
an equal wonderful proclivity to its exercise.
Without the slightest pretence of necessity
the State is threatened with a litter of these
currency *corrupters more numerous than
that stifled by Simon Snyder, Even the so
nility of the Senate, from whose long expe
rience better things were looked for, urges
the increase of our bank-capital on the ground
that other states have more than we have,
thus putting to a base use the very reason
why we have a - sounder currency and less
monetary difficulties than - they. We shall
have more to say hereafter.—llarrisburg-
Kewstone.
Extract of a letter dated H arrisburg March
1131
The House holds afternoon sessions daily
—evincing at least a show of doing business
—but lam sorry to say, it ends there. Al
though the legislature has, been in session
about two months and a half—that body has
just posse(' three public bills—a state of
thinvs which I will venture to say is without
a paralell in the history of Pennsylvania
legislation.—At the present rate of doing
business by the legislature, it will take that
body till next October, to finish the public
business. So much for the ever to be re
membered legislature of Pennsylvania far
the year 1855. But after all, the members
ate not td blame. the fault lies at the doors
of the people who sent them here. They
came here fresh from the ranks of the people,
as professed Know-Nothings, and most admi
rably are they fulfilling their high calling,—
The people are at fault in this instance, and
it is for them to apply the remedy.
Know-Nothing Hypocrisy..
It is a well known fact that whilst the ReV.
STEPHEN MILLER, editor .of the .Harrisburg
Telegraph, boasts of ministering to the spir
itual wants of four hundred and forty-four
communicants, and affects publicly to be hor
ror stricken at the dangerous tendencies of
Catholicism and foreign influence, privately - ,
among intimate friends, he laughs in his
sleeve at the cities who obey his nefarious
behests. He has frequently acknowledged,
with a monky-like grin on his saintly coun
tenance, that "Catholics were as good citi
zens and as republican in feeling as any oth
er class of professing christians ;" yet, for
the sake of power and plunder—for the sake
of being recognized as one of the "meek and
lowly," he would persecute with fiend-like
ferocity, poor, innocent men, women and
children, and gloat over the misfortunes and
ignorance of his fellow-man. May God in
His wisdom have mercy on his soull—Har
