Circulation---the largest iu the County
We are very grateful for the liberal
increase we are almost daily receiving to our
list of paying subscribers, We have lately
entered the names of several gentlemen who
have been for years active and influential
members of the Whig party, but who now,
rather than be made the tools of the unscru
pulous, corrupt and bigoted hypocrite manag
ing the- affairs of the once great Whig par
ty, - have come out from amongst them, and
will henceforth act with the Democratic par
ty—the only party of correct Principles now
in existence.
Important Foreign Ne*
The steatnship Atlantic arrived at New
York yesterday with Liverpool dates to the
10th inst.
The death of the Czar is confirmed, and
the Emperor Ale.xander the Second ascended
the throne on the 2d inst., having peacefully
sueceded his father. He has issued a mani
festo stating that he will adhere to the policy
of his father.
The confirmation of the news of the death
of Nicholas created the utmost excitement
all over Europe
Hopes were entertained at first that peace
would be the consequence of Alexander's
accession. But these hopes were dampened
by his announcement that he would follow
the course of his father.
There has been more fighting on the Cri
mea. The French stormed a redoubt erect
ed by the Russians during the night, and sev
eral hundred were killed. A dispatch from
Sebastopol stated that 50,000 Russians were
th,reatening the British force at Balaklava,
A strong rumor prevailed that the Grand
Duke Michael was among the wounded at
Sebastopol, and has since died.
Breadstoffs are dull at a decline
Pennsylvania Legislature
A large number of Bank bills have passed
both Houses, but it is hoped the Governor
will apply the "one man power" freely.—
The bill to incorporate the Pottstown Bank
has been vetoed, and the Bill renewing the
charter of the Northampton Bank, vetoed by
Gov. Bigler, has passed both Houses by a
constitutional majority. The Bill repealing
the law granting license to public houses, as
it passed the House, is now under considera'-
tion in the Senate, and it is generally belie
ved that it will pass that body in some
shape. The Bill for the sale of the Main
Line of the pnblic improvements, comes up
to-day for further consideration.
Where is the Whig Party ?
The last Hunting•clon Journal says
"The election in this borough May be safe
ly taken as a criterion of the strength of the
Know-Nothings, not Only in our town, but
throughout the county."
Just as we expected. All the successful
candidates are claimed as Know-. Nothings.
Whether they are, or are not, we will not
swear—as some of thksuccesful candidates
on the day of the election, perhaps only for
the pu:pose of securing votes, openly denied
being in any way connected with the secret
political order. But "Sam" should know,
and we freely concede the victory, over truth
and honor, to the Know-Nothings.
If "the election in this borough may be
safely taken as a criterion of the strength of
the Kno . W-Nothings in thecounty," we ask,
what 'has become of the great Whig
,party ?
Was ''Sam," by order of the Councils, ta
ken it under his care and keeping., that it
may be_more readily molded to suit the pur
pogeg4tr the, aseatest rascals that ever dis
graced our country ? Without waiting for
an answer, we say, the Whig party has been
swallowed up by the secret political order of
Know-Nothings—and as many may be igno
rant of the true character of that order, we
copy from the Journal, the opinion of its ed
itor no doubt honestly expressed, previous to
the last general election. Since then, cir
cumstances, perhaps over which the Doctor
had no control, have made him acquainted
with "Sam." The Doctor then said :
"Is it not but a plan for office hunters to
raise themselves to posts whieh have long elu
ded.their grasp ? Is it not a secret associa
tion avowedly for political purposes, AND
THEREFORE WORSE THAN ANY OF THE SE
CRET ASSOCIATIONS IN THEIR WORST DAYS?"
A Know-NoTurno.-1-Last week we were
made acquainted with a .Know-Nothing such
as the'mass of that Party is composed of. He
had not taken the papers and the only infor
mation of a political character he had receiv.
ed from time to time for a year past, was
from office hunting Know r Noth,ings. He
was positive that the Catholics had taken
Poston and several other large cities, and
that they were murdering the Protestants in
every part of the country. He frequently
went to bed in great fear of being butchered
by the "rascally Catholics" before morning.
After paying in advance for the Globe he
went on his way, rejoicing that he was no
longer the tool of unprincipled Know-Noth
ing office seekers.
In Huntingdon county, including the
borough, the Know-Nothings made a clean
sweep.—Lewistown Gazette.
In character with Know-Nothingism. But
as such falsehoods are only intended for a for- .
eign market, it matters little how strong they
ate made. We publish the item that the
Whigs as well as Democrats may know how
Know-Nothing victories are manufactured.

JAMES POLLOCK.
'TROUBLE IN THE KNOW-NOTHING CAMP.—
We find the following in the Harrisburg/Mi
lli Item, a Native American paper :
"From the present indication of affairs the
great so-called American party is greatly on
the wane. The objects of the organization,
at the time of its commencement, were cal
culated to do great good, but designing men
entered its ranks and the seed sown by them
is fast germinating into full fruition. Peace
and harmony has given way to .discord and
confusion. Men who were thought to be be
yond doubt honest and virtuous in their in
tentions when they joined the organization
have turned out worse than ARNOLDS and
worthy to be classed as JUDAS ISCARIOTS.
Is Gov. Pollock aware that the course he is
now pursuing not only brings upon him the
anathemas of his fellow men, but the wrath
of God ! Does he not remember the ever
memorable night of the '2sth of May ?
But, without the fear of God, no scheme is
too low for a politician to resort to.
. All our merchants are fi.T . sing . up to
give the people an agreeable surprise.—
They will speak for themselves; in oar next
issue..
A. WHIG Meeting
Having quite a number of old line Whig
subscribers ; and hundreds of Whig readers,
we will occasionally let them hear through
the columns of the Globe, what course is be
ing pursued by their political friends . in other
parts of the State. The• Journal, of course,
now that it is.closely wedded to the princi
ples 0) of Know-Nothingism, can not be ex
pected to give any "aid and comfort" to the
old liners of the once "great Whig pay i ty."
At a meeting of the independent Whigs of
the city of Philadelphia, held at the Court
House l in that city, on Saturday the 24th inst.,
the following resolutions were unanimously
adopte'd
ii. ESOLUTIONS
The Whig Delegates who at last felt it
their duty to separate from the Convention
which assembled on Tuesday last, feel it to
be equally their duty to justify their course,
and having called this Town Meeting of
their Whig friends—of those who acknowl
edge no allegiance to any other than the Whig
party and Whig principles, it is
Resolved, That the new element of secret
political organization is incompatible with
manliness and fairness of political purpose—
and the more,so, if it be combined, as is al
leged, with proscription for opinion's sake.
ResofVed, That the progress of this ele
ment in the Commonwealth has corrupted
the integrity of political action, by substitu
ting responsibility to secret combination—for
responsibility to . public opinion and
War will openly expressed. That it has Se
riously impaired the confidence between those
who profess the same opinions, saps the foun
dation of personal and national morality, and
degrades its adherents by unworthy subter
fuges and evasions—and that its fruits have
been the worst Municipal and State Legisla
tion with which, for many years, we have
been afflicted.
Resolved, That the conduct of the present
Legislature, elected by the same secret influ
ence, in increasing the Banking Capital of
the Commonwealth, and exposing tht-_ , com
munity• to the inevitable danger of an infla
ted paper currency, deserves, and now re
ceives, our earnest reprobation.
Resolved. That with deep. humiliation we
are compelled to trace the same influence
and effect in our Municipal Government,—
increased and increasing expenditure with
accumulating debts as its first fruit—heavier
taxation—a systeni of pecuniary jobs with
out restraint, and a course of personal z.nd
efficial conduct, as exhibited in weekly re
cbrds, having the necessary effect of destroy
ing public confidence and respect.
Resolved,- That if injustice be done to the
secret political organization by attributin ,-, to
its ascendency these results, there can be but
one mode of disproving it ; an i that is by
withdrawing the veil• of secrecy in which
their proceedings are shrouded, and vindica
ting the great principle cf Americanism by
letting the world see that Americans are not
ashamed of what they are doing.
Resolved, That what we understand by
Americanism such as Washington taught, and
the Whig party has sought to maintain, is
Fidelity to the Constitution in its letter and
spirit—religious toleration in its broadest
sense—welcome to the, honest and industri
ous man that asks a home and community of
right, and Protection to our Industry—the
industry which works in the soil and - under
the laws of the Republic, and to, this Ameri
canism \‘' (3 are riot ashamed to profess our
faith.
[G 7 '''The Reading Gazette in speaking of
the election held in that city on Friday week
last, says :
"As we generally expected, the Know-
Nothings have made a clean sweep, electing
all their eandidates by considerable majori
ties. They were not victorious, however,
in a fair and open fight, but resorted to the
disguise of professed "Independent" candi
dates,-by which means they obtained almost
the entire Whig, vote, some Democratic votes
and—marvellous to relate,—not a few for
eigners --votes, in addition to the pure Know-
Nothing support. Although a fair proportion.
of old-Euelffehigs were upon the .Anti-Know-
Nothing ticket, WE no NOT BELLEVE IT RE
CEIVED IN THE ‘VIIOLE CITY FIFTY WHIG.
VOTES—another evidence tha.t the Whigs
who are not Know-Nothings, are yet with
them at heart, and rejoice at their success, if
for no other reason,. because it involves the
defeat of the Democratic--party._
The vote for Mayor stood : For Samuel L.
Young, (Fusion) 840; William M. Baird,
(Know-Nothing) 1544,
The whole vote for Mayor was 2384., being
489 more than the whole vote of last year.
Mr Bairtrs majority is 704.
