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.
