Evans & Watson's Salamander Safes Borough Election The election on Monday last for borough officers wont off very quietly. The vote poll ed was not half as large as it was two weeks ago.

Port. Town Council—R. A. Miller, John A. Nash, Peter N. Marks, Wm. Hoffman, JobS. Morris, Wm. Williams, Wm. I. Steel. High Constable—Samuel Couts. Supervisors—J Murry Simpson and John Bumbough, Sr. Asst. Assessor—Alfred Crewel. 17" We have received a second communi cation from Sam'l. L. Glasgow, in reply to a charge made by the publisher of the Journal that he, Glasgow, had attempted to collect money due Brewster. We must decline, for the present, publishing this second commu nication, for the reason, that we fear, "the greater the truth the greater the libel" it con tains, might sour the gizzard of the beautli of the Journal, and that the hope of gain might influence him to direct his attention to the size of our pile for damages. Brewster rich ly deserves to be chastised in the manlier Glasgow gives evidence he can do it—but we have no desire to see our kind, affection ate and honorable neighbor, kilt quite dead, at this early stage of his opposition to all who dare think for themselves, and who will not bend the knee to Know-Nothingism. On some future day, we may, in self-defence, feel justified in laying before our readers, and the people generally, the facts contained -in Mr. Glasgow's communication, and others promised to be made public by those who are Know-Somethings. A second "Angel Gabriel" come 'to Jugdment. The Journal of last week will satisfy ani• honorable man that its columns are wholly ender the control of blackguards who are fir companions only for "Ned Buntlirt" and the foreign criminal who calls himself "Angel Gabriel." Over a column is filled with as scrttons and attacks upon the characters of some of our most respectable citizens and ourself, which could have been suggested by no other than the most depraved minds.— If the religion the editors profess gives them a free license to slander those who are in no way responsible for anything we may say, we pray God we may have none of it. It is a common saying that there are "black sheep in every flock," and we are strongly of the opinion that the addle-heads of the Journal are the blackest of the black. We shall at another time reply to some of the assertions in the last Journal.. (1:7 We have on file several rich docu ments which shall receive our attention as soon as we get through with the rush of more important business now on hand. One of them gives a life-like likeness of the publisher of the Journal, by "Sam.," who, bitice the decease of the Standing-Stone Ban ?ler, has voluntarily consented to do menial sei vice for a man he then considered the meanest white man living. ''S.A:u" is a rea sonably good looking, and with proper train ing might become a useful young man, but unless he speedily reforms, he will he hope lessly lost. Is there an infidel in the land who could be persuaded to stoop so low ? FIRES.—Early on Monday morning last, the dwelling house on the mill property of Col. S. S. Wharton, at M'Connellstown, was completely destroyed by fire. It took fire on the roof from a burning chimney, and the wind being high the whole building was soon enveloped in flames. There was but little or no furniture destroyed as a new ten ant was just moving in. We understand the house was insured to the amount of $BOO, which it is supposed will come near covering all loss. About 10 o'clock on the same day the sta ble of Dr. Griffith, in this place, also took fire from a burning chimney, but the timely application of a little physical strength by two or three of our active young men pre vented the destruction of at least half of our town, as the wind was very strong at the time. A hole in the roof and the burning of two or three bundleb of stra .v was the extent of the loss. The New Party. It is certainly a most astonishing develop men tof the temper of public opinion at the present time, thit, after the exposures which have been made of the objects and purposes of Know-Nothingism, and of the machinery by which those objects and purposes are sought to be attained, there should be public presses and public men so boldly unscrupu lous—so reckless of social, religious and constitutional obligation—so defiant of that moral popular sentiment which ought to per vade the whole country and actuate every citizen within its boundaries—as to openly, shamelessly and boastingly proclaim adhe sion to the sec.et order, and openly, shame lessly and boastingly justify, commend and essay to sustain its principles, practices and designs. That there are public presses and public men who do this, argues that the public pulse does not beat healthfully. We fully agree with the Detroit Free Press, that, did it beat healthfully—was public opinion sound to the corps and in every ex tremity—had no false morality and philoso phy seized upon the popular mind—did sim ple-hearted devotion to those principles upon which this government is founded, prevail as it should prevail—no public press and no public man would dare to stand up in defence of the iniquitous order which seeks to erect a political and religious despotism upon American soil, more oppressive, more galling and more corrupting than exists in any down trodden monarchy of Europe. It is sometimes humiliating to confess the truth; and especially is it so when, as now, the confession involves the admission that thousands of the American people are the voluutary victims of a transparent conspiracy —a conspiracy at which no honest man and patriot can fail to revolt when he fathoms the length and breadth of its aims, and as to the aims of which no intelligent man can, at this hour, plead ignorance. We can conceive that many well meaning people, through motives of curiosity, • and under deceptive influences, might have placed their names upon the roll of the order in the early stages of its rise; but we cannot conceive how that citizen who is riot an enemy of the principles of civ il and religious liberty which are the crown ing glory of this republic, can sustain his connection with it after he has full knowl edge of the demands of the order upon all its members, to which he must succumb, and to succumb to which reduces him to the condi tion of a very slave—crushes his manliness, and converts him into the merest machine. To confess the truth that thousands of the American people are members of such an or der,' is, we say, humiliating. We had believ ed that we lived in more enlightened, liber al and patriotic times. We had entertained , the hope, that the dark ages of bigotry, and superstition, and religious oppression had passed. We had supposed that the accident of birth-place did not add to or take from any man's mei it in this country. We had imagined that the boast that this Union is the refuge of the oppressed of all nations, was something more than empty declamation.— But it appears not. We have been mistaken. We have labored under a hallucination. All that has been saidand written and published for the last fifty years about civil and reli gious toleration, has been sound and fury, signifying nothing—that is, if the "new American party" does not libel the Ameri- can name Es it not strange?—strange, we mean, that men should submit their necks to such a yoke as Know-Nothingism imposes. By its rules, all candidates for political offices are select ed by the higher councils of the order, as sembled in the most secret conclave ; and, when selected, every member is required to support them, or in the language of the oath he takes, "submit to no less a penalty than that of being excommunicated from the or der, and having my name posted and circu lated throughout the councils of the order, as a traitor and perjurer to my God and country, as being unworthy to be employed, entrusted, countenanced, or suppot ted in any business transaction whatever, and as a person totally unworthy the confidence of all good men, and one :tt whom the finger of scorn shall ever be pointed. All of which foregoing I volun tarily and freely subscribe to, so help me God !" Is there not something rotten in Denmark —is not public opinion unsound—is not the popular mind seized with strange phantasies —when such a political organization can ap pear in the field, and win at elections?—when public men and public presses become cham pions of doctrines so loathsome and perni cious as those which comprise the platform of the "new American party ?" From the Crimea. The accounts from Sebastopol state that the allies had resumed their firing upon the town. Letters received to the first of March explain the discrepancy between the French and Russian accounts of the storming of the re doubt on the night of the 23d February. The French did storm and capture two Russian redoubts, but finding them untenable, from the murderous fire from the walled batteries of the enemy, blew up the redoubts and re tired, with the lois of 100 killed and 300 wounded. 0::7' In Siam the penalty for lying is to have the mouth sewed up. If such a law were in force in this place the addle-heads of the Journal and not a few of their brother know-nothings would not be able to open I heir mouths. On Thursday morning last a serious accident occurred on the Penn'a Railroad in Jack's Narrows, eight or nine miles below this place. The western passenger train came in contact with a large rock which had tolled down from the hill-side upon the track, which throw the engine off the track with terrific violence, breaking and smashing the locomotive, tender and baggage car very much. The engineer, Mr. Louis Peebles, of Harrisburg, a very fine young man, was fa tally injured—he died on Saturday. Th fireman was also seriously injured, and it i feared, fatally. The first and second passen ger cars were more or less shattered, and some twelve passengers slightly injured by the steam escaping from the engine. Cheering News from Virginia A despatch from Harper's Ferry, to a gen tleman in Washington city, states that the el oquent and argumentative speeches or Hon. Charles J. Faulkner in that part of his dis trict have produced a perfect stampede among the know-nothings of that vicinity. On Sat urday evening a week last, eighty members withdrew from the know-nothing lodge at Harper's Ferry, and openly expressed their determination to vote for the entire democrat ic ticket. At the same time seventy-five more members stated that they would with draw from the order at the next meeting of the lodge. This is but the commencement of the great reactionary movement in the Old Dominion. Hear how Stephen Miller of the Har risburg Telegraph, a Whig and Know-Noth ing sheet, talks to the members of the Re form Legislature . "Gentlemen of the Legislature—the people of Pennsylvania are unber the .impression that you have accomplished about as much mischief "as the law allows" to a single ses sion, and they earnestly desire the speedy passage of a few necessary and important measures, and your early return to "the peac ful shades of private life." Too much of your tune has been wasted in manufacturing banks and a United States Senator, and it is high time that your energies were directed to other measures. We are intimately ac quainted with many of your constituents, and depend upon it, the sooner uur advice be taken, the greater the probability of your re turn." A Farce.—Pennsylvania legislation. There's more gas than brains about the capi tol.—Raftsmaids Journal. Nearly every exchange we pick up contains a hit akin to the above at our present legisla ture. Now, we believe the present legisla ture is just as wise, and intelligent and com petent as any the Know-Nothings could pos sibly make up. The fact is, it is an exceed ingly-rare thing to find a man of towering intellect, expansive ideas, brilliant genius, and patriotic views, who belongs to or will have anything to do with the proscriptive order of Know-Nothings. Generally, the or der is composed first of boys and young men, who have joined more on account of the nov elty of the thing than from a conviction that the principles are right; second, 'of rickety politicians, possessing small brains and large aspirations, who, knowing they stand no chance if their pretensions are laid before the people, hope, by this secret combination, which forces men by oaths to support its candidates, to be elected to offices of trust and profit; this 3, of religious fanatics and bigots, who imagine they are doing their Maker good service by persecuting and tram pling down the members of the Roman Cath olic chureh ; and fourth, by hot-headed Whigs, whose prejudices against the Demo cratic party are so strong that they go for any party, whether right or wrong, that will go against the Democracy. True there may be honest and well disposed men in too—men who try to follow the precepts of our Sav iour and to walk uprightly in his ways—but these are generally men whose habits and education are such, that they have bnt a lim ited knowledge of the philosophy of the American government, and still less of the true character of the Catholic Churcn, and consequently were led into the order by the sophistry and false representations of the active spirits of the order, and, are probably now kept in by the threats of the same active spirits. We repeat, of all the good and true men who have graced the halls of Congress—men of gigantic intellects and patriotic impulses --men who, although ambitious, will not bend the convictions of their judgments for the paltry honors of office—we know not one who has endorsed the proscliptive doc trines of this order. Such men as Cass, Douglass, Seward, Chandler, Badger and Breckenridge, although heretofore _differing very materially upon subjects of political economy, now all occupy the same platform iti regard to the principles of Know-Nothing ism. And among these names we might also add that of Gen. Sam Houston, who by many has been supposed to be the veritable "Sam" of whom we read so much, and who is at present the favorite of many of the Know-Nothing organs as a candidate for the next Presidency. Although for some reason or other Gen. Houston maintained a studied silence upon the subject of Know-Nothing ism for a long time, when brought to the pinch, and closely interrogated, he acknowl edged himself opposed to the proscriptive doc trines of the order. In a debate which took place some time in February, in the United States Senate, the following conversation be tween Mr. allory, of Florida, and Gen. Sam Houston, occurred: Mr. Mallory. Will the Senator from Tex as allow me to ask him one question. Mr. Houston. With pleasure. Mr. Mallory. As tho subject of Know- Nothingism, as it is called, has been brought here— Mr. Houston. 1. have not introduced it, and am not going to comment on it. Mr. Mallory. Precisely so, the Senator has not introduced the subject, and perhaps he is not responsible for its introduction; but he is undertaking to say what he him self thinks upon it. Now, as he is speaking upon the subject. I should like to understand distinctly whether he approves or does not approve of so much of the creed attributed to the Know-Nothings as would make those who profess the Roman Catholic religion in eligible to office?, Mr. Houston. 1 would vote for no such law. Mr. Mallory. I asked the gentleman whether he approved that or not—not wheth er he would vote for it. Mr. Houston. No, sir, I could not ap prove of such a law .—Lewistown Democrat. The People Moving At a meeting of citizens of industry town ship, Beaver county, without distinction of party, the following resolutions were unani mously adopted. We hope their example will be followed by the people of other diftrictithioughout the Commonwealth : Resolved That we have fallen upon strange te4not alarfiring tiles, when men proudly hiling themselves American. citizens, meet coward-like in the dark, and under the bind ing obligations of the mast fearful oaths, blindly agree to obey the command of their secret master, and thus show to the world that they are traitors to their country, rebels to their God, and infidels to the cause of civ il and religious liberty. Resolved, That all secret oath-bound orga nizations, for political purposes, are contrary to our institutions and dangerous to the lib erty of the people, and in strict violation of republicanism; and that it is the duty of all citizens that are attached to our government. whether native born or adopted, to use all honorable means to protect the Constitution. Resolved, That our principles are equal rights and equal laws to all citizens. Resolved, That we are opposed to religious proscription, and that it is the privilege of all persons to worship God according to the dic tates for their own consciences. Q We understand that the Grand Coun cil of the Lino vv-Nothings have under consid eration the propriety of altering one clause in the Declaration of Independence so as to read thus :—All men are created free and equal, (except Irishmen,) and are endowed with cer tain inalienable rights, amongst which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of office and for eigners ! PHILADELPHIA MARKETS IVIoNnAr, April 2.—Cloverseed is more in. quired after—about 400 bushels good new sold at $6,20, and some old at $6 per 641bs.
