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 !
