COMMUNICATIONS. Mr EDITOR. :—You will confer a favor by allowing me a small space in your columns, to make a few remarks in reply to charges naade against me by the present Tournal edi tor in his last issue, and on one occasion pre vious. I had thought I would no more en gage in newspaper controversies, and had settled myself down at an humble, quiet oc cupation to secure a livelihood for my fami ly ; but an individual is sometimes forced in to-positions in which it becomes him to de fend himself' through public print, from the false and malicious attacks of contemptible blackguards and slanderers, always infesting a peaceable and law-abiding cornmanity.-- Such, is my position now. Last spring, soon after Brewster got hold of the establishment, and I had moved to the Factory in Hill Valley, a friend of mine di rected my attention to an editorial published in the Journal, charging me with having col lented, or having tried to collect money due Brewster, on the books of the office for ad vertising and subscription. - I passed the mat ter over unttl I had occasion to visit Hunting don. I took with me Mr. Joseph Rickets now of Shilleysburg,lor the purpose of hear ing and bearing testimony as to what Brews ter Would say on the subject, and went into his office where were at work Messrs. John (foreman,) Samuel Smith and Jo seph Campfield. In the presence of these gentlemen and Mr. Rickets, I genteelly and peaceably asked the Doctor from whom I had collected or tried to collect money due him on the books of the office 7 He gave me no satisfaction, as the gentlemen above can tes tify.. I then, thinking it was my right, after such charges, to know from whom I had col lected or tried" tocollect money due him on the books, and having received no satisfac tion, told the Doctor that he had lied in ref erence,to the matter, and that his publication in the Journal was a malicious slander. The matter rested quietly, at least so far as my knowledge extends, until lately, when 'an individual from Huntingdon in whom I have confidence, informed me that Brewster had endeavored to collect some money from the County Commissioners for publishing "Court Affairs" which is lawfully and justly coming to me. In consequence, I put a notice in the Shirleysburg .Herald two weeks ago, which by request was copied into the Globe of last week, as the readers of that paper can see. in order that those indebted to the Journal office, for advertisihg, &c., done during my editorial career, might know to whom pay ment of the same should be made. Now if I have been trying to collect his dues. would it be reasonable to suppose that I would have got such an advertisement inserted ? Last week Brewster inserted a notice in his paper which in substance is precisely the same as mine, as the readers of the Globe, Herald and Journal can see , but he states further that he has been well informed that I have been collecting and am still trying to collect mon ey due him on the books. This is slanderous and maliciously false, and the man who ut ters it lies in the face of God and man. I have never collected, nor have I ever tried to collect any money due Brewster, since he has had hold of the Journal. If I have done so, or even tried to do so, contrary to the rule of division of advertisements &c., as published in the Globe and Journal of last week, by. both him and myself, let.the man from whom I have collected or been trying to collect, speak for himself. The Journal man's no-' tice contained in his last issue, I have no doubt, was called forth by his observing rny notice in the Shirleysburg Herald the week before. They both, as I have said, are the r i same in substance. Then why, if Brewster is an honest meaning man, and without any of that fiendish maliciousness in his heart, did he not copy mine so far as it refers to the division of advertisements &c. No, that would be stooping too low—that vicious and ; devlish disposition, to do a neighbor a wrong so deeply seated in his soul, would not allow him. I-le had to add some comments of slan der and falsehood. That I have erred in many instances in my life, like Brewster, and all other imperfect creatures, 1 am well aware ; but in the instance in question, as God knows, so far as I have any knowledge of my own transactions, I am innocent.— What benefit it confers on a man like Doctor Brewster to be publishing such slandei one and malicious articles about his neighbors, I cannot for the life of me conceive, unless it is for the mere gratification of those vicious passions which some men have unfortenate ly imbibed and cultivated to such an extent that unless they pare obeying their dictates they think they are not doing God's service. There are some men who constantly feed on islander, and take pleasure in abusing and ly ing about somebody. The Doctor should en deavor through the grace of God to correct those evil passions of his, for he should re member that slanderers and liars have no part, in the kingdom of Heaven. Instead of ttrying to increase the number of his numer ous personal enemies, he should endeavor to reconcile them, because I can assure him whether he will believe me or not, that their name is Legion in this community. He could be much better employed by- .rying to redeem the character of his paper, by pub lishing matter interesting to the general read er, because the Journal in this locality is as low in reputation as any paper need be. The general impression here is that it is a worth less shed and that there is no man at the bead of it who can make it anything else. I have nothing personally against the edi tor, but when he through malice attacks me publicly without a just cause, to the extent he has, I feel bound to defend myself and shall continue to do so, until he learns to he influ enced and actuated by better passions and motives than those of personal enmity and malicious falsehood. He must learn that those who live in glass houses should be care ful how they throw stones. I-liave much more which I have no doubt would sound harshly on the Doctor's ears, that I would like to mention, hut I shall defer it until I have heard his reply in answer to what I have here said. Since the matter has commenced I will give the Doctor his satisfaction, if he feels disposed .to continue the controversy. S. L. GLASGOW birleysburg, March 16, 1555. PETERsBURG, March 22, 1855. Mr. EDITOR :—A signal triumph was gain ed over Know-Nothingism in our borough on Tuesday last. The people met as usual on the morning of the election, in regard to se lecting suitable persons to fill the various offices for the ensuing year, when convincing proof was furnished that the oath bound po litical society had taken the whole matter in hand . as is their custom. A ticket was form ed by the one party at 10 o'clock on the morning of the election—by the other at the :hour of Midnight a short time previous. The Know-Nothings brought out for two of the offices, their_ strongest men, who but recently were elected to the highest honors in their Council. The canvass was animated, but it was evident by 2 o'clock that Sarnival was breaking down, not being used to operate in the light of nay. When the polls closed the victory was complete, and the peoples' tick et elected entire by a handsome majority.— The newly elected board of officers, to rid themselves of the last vestige of Know-Noth ingism, resolved at once to oust a high func tionary of the secret order who holds by ap pointment the only lucrative office in the bor ough. 0. K. The Voice of an Honest Vllaig The Lewisburg (Va.) Chronicle, an old and influential organ of the Whig party of Virginia, in speaking of the no ,v-Nothings, holds the following language : "Their principles are kept concealed from you, while a bastard platform is published, to which youcan have but little objection. By this deception, or two sets of principles, they expect to seduce and deceive the Whigs and to rout the Democrats in Virginia. To this despicable trick you are to lend your influence We would beat the Democrats in Virginia if we con Id do it fait ly and on the square; but a victory under such circumstances as would attend the putting of Know-Nothingism into power would - redound nothing to our advan tage as Whigs. We place a party in power whose principles, to our mind, are vastly more objectionable than those of the Democ racy, and with whom we can never act in concert, because they conceal from us their intentions and movements. They act in se cret, arid exclude us from all participation in the benefits of the victory. Unless we place a better party in power, patriotism requires that we should let the Democrats rule yet a while. They act boldly and above-board, and we can understand them and perhaps de feat them in many things. But it is different with Know-Nothingism. It concocts every thing in secret, and jumps before we are pre pared to act. This is one reason of its suc cess, and a strong objection with us to the order. "If the Whigs, then, can form no alliance with this party—and it must be confessed that such a thing is impossible—they should be cautious about elevating it to power. We should oppose an alliance, even if it was possible to effect ono, and to those Whigs who are so keen to defeat the Democrats that they would join with almost any party to effect their object, we would venture a word of advice. You are opposed to Demo cratic principles, and wish to see your own party in rower and yonr own principles put into laws. In this feeling we are with you heart and soul. But we must consider wheth er we can effect this object through Know- Nothingisrn. We think we cannot. Neith er can we effect- it through the Democratic party. How, then, can we effect it? By preserving our own organization, by remain ing neutral, and by casting our votes for the men whose iuternAl-improvement principles are the most acceptable. Know-Nothiogism once in power may be more difficult to oust than the Democracy. Not knowing any thing about it, are we willing to place it in power "Its principles may be worse than those of the Democracy, and it may be more difficult to remove from office. Will you, then, as Whigs, place it in power in the face of these facts ? 4Ve can hardly believe it possible. If the Whig party is dead, never to be revi ved, Whigs will have to choose between De mocracy and Know-Nothingism. In making this choice, we should not allow our party prejudices to influence us in the least. Let us make our choice patriotically, and with a view purely to our country's good. Know- Nothlurrism may get the ascendency, and re tain it for awhile ; but we believe the people will ultimately fall back to the love of their fathers and their father's institutions. The present popularity of that order should not affect our choice in selecting between it and Democracy, or locofocoisni, if you please.— Between the two, though we are Whigs all over, and every inch an American, and a friend of American institutions, we infinitely prefer the principles and organization of the iCtentocracw to those of Know-Notk,ingism." Another Know-Nothing Victory The Pottstown (Montgomery county) Ledger, neutral in politics, after giving a list of the borough officers elected says: All the above officers received the nomina tion of the secret party, excepting the two first named on the Council. There was a partial contest on the Council Ticket, be tween the so-called Know Nothings and out siders. There were about 200 votes polled, of wich the secret association east about 1'2.5 votes, the actual majority being attained by the use of side tickets and personal acquaint anceships of the individuals. The contest showed the case of organization) and man ac,erneut. "Sam" had his party of. 125 votes (not varying 10 one way or the other,) bound by solemn oblications to support their ticket, but it was necessary to secure enough votes outside, hence a party of electioneerers were set to work to catch them from those who were not members of the secret political par ty. This is easily done as long as party lines are riot drawn as tightly on the one side as the other,— that not being the case at present. Such a display of prevarication and de ception as we observed in this petty election, has no parallel in the history of politics in our day. Heaven save us from such reform as can delude men into the belief that it is not an immorality to use efforts to pass themselves off for what they are not, and if possible hoodwink and deceive their nearest neighbors and friends, for their votes. This feature of "Amedeanism" is an insult to American morality and teligion Jest! uctive to integrity of character, and we call upon the professors of religion and moralists in the organization, to repudiate it, for their own sakes and the public good. A victory gained by subh' means is barren .of glory. We have not been deceived. We voted for members of the secret order because of their fitness for the stations, although we felt at the same time that were we a candidate for any position, we would not ezcpect a Om, ilar treatment, if an American ticket were in the field, under its present organization. We have labored for years to break down a prejudice that leads men to carry their par tisanship into the election of local officers, voting for a xcan Inferior ir, qualifications to his opponent, simply because he belonged to his party. For a few years past partisan ship was entirely forgotten and overlooked in the election of Council and some other ofli cers. All good men rejoiced in the change. Lo! now springs up a party which, if the old one possessed a devil, the new one con tains his spirit ten times multiplied in draw ing the line of exclusiveness, in voting only for the members of their organization, and what is ten times worse, conducting all their operations in secret, and securing votes by the most manifest adroit system of prevari cation and deception. If the new party- is to save the country simply from the dangers of the foreign influ ence, let it confine its operations to that end, and we shall bid it God sped in all the ad vantages it may secure to the public. As soon as we can conceive dangers to exist as to require a remedy of such a desperate char acter, we shall endorse the method and co operate. We can immagine how an-oppres sed people under monarchical and tyrannical governments of Europe may find it necessa ry to resort to secret associations, to secure their rights without exposing their heads to the guillotine, 2nd be justified, but by what process of reasoning, liberty and justice is to be promoted in a' republic like our own, where the heart is educated to-appreciate the rights of manhood, and the intellect enlight ened to understand and reward the open honest laborer in the field of truth, through the instrumentality of secret and solemnly bound proscriptive organization, we are at a loss to comprehend. NVe say proscriptive because we have reason to believe that its members at our late charter election, voted almost entirely for their secret nominees, from top to bottom. Not so with the citi zens at large. Each one was at liberty to use his individual judgement as to individual fitness, without regard to party. A Party of Vitality Our flier - Lis behold clearly now what ma ny of them saw but darkly before. Except the Democratic party, there is no public po litical organization in Michigan of any vital ity.—Detroit Advertiser ,Such is the confession of the Detroit Ad vertiser (Whig) in an article concerning the recent charter election in Detroit, at which the Democratic ticket was elected over a "fusion" of all other political elements.— The admission of the Advertiser that "ex cept the Democratic party, there is no public political organization in Michigan of any vitality," is equally true in its application to most of the other States of the Union.— The Whig party exists in fragmentary sec tions in some parts of the country, but it is so hopelessly distracted, and in different States holds to such diverse views, and is to such an extent merged - in other organizations and isms, that it cannot be said to have any "vitality." There has been during the last six or eight months an attempt to form a new party, under.the cognomen of Republi can," based_on the anti-slavery element, and composed of the Whigs, the Abolitionists, and such Democrats as could be seduced into "fusion," but we hardly think it can be said to have "any vitality" now, although it showed some signs of life_ during the fall campaign. The Know Nothings constitute the only party except the. Democratic, which can now be said to be really alive "and kicking."— But their is a sort of spasmodic "vitality," which has no element of life to sustain it permanently, and which, however lively and active it may .-be for a time, must with no .great delay expire. The Democratic party has the "vitality" of full developed, vigorous manhood. It rests upon principles sound and enduring, and embracing the whole country in their scope. It can rally its followers throughout the length and breadth of the land, animated by a common purpose, and co-operating in support of doctrines equally cherished by all. The Detroit papers speak with great troth and discernment in denominating it the on ly "public political organization of any vi tality."--illbany Ar•gus.
