We wish it tole distinctly understood
that Pater.t Medicine and Jack advertise

any.price. The well 'established character
of .the Journal, gives
.it a claim to all such
patronage, and we hope we may not again be
troubled with the offer of it.

very great—but still there are more of the

have already called with us this week, and
given evidence in the shape of rocks, that we

.Journal spoke of some days ago, are nowhere

"Rough dding.'_'
The present publisher of the journal, Dr.
1 - 4ewster,, and its late editor, Mr. Glasgow,
are into each other just now about a feet, a
feet and a half, and some say ten feet. Un
til we are satisfied that not more than half
that is being told-by Glasgow is true, we can
not stoop to notice any of the balderbash that
has or may appear in the journal.

George Washington's Opinion
The following letter we commend tip the
serious reflection of many of our readers,
with an ardent hue that it may be of some
service to them. COuld the Journal editor
be induced to place this.opiaion side by side
with the opinionsof Ned Buntline and the
Angel Gabriel which appear to have lately
swallowed up his whole attention, his readers
might see more clearly the true character of
that paper:
To the General Committee, representing the
United Baptist Churches
GENTLEMEN.-If I could have entertained
the slightest apprehension. that the Constitu
tion framed by the Convention where I had
the bonort.e preside might possibly endanger
the religious rights of A.NY' ecclesiastical so
ciety, certainly I would never have placed
my signature to it ; and if I could. not-con—
ceive that the general . governmont..might
even be so administered as to render the lib
erty of conscience insecure, 1 beg you will be
persuaded that no one would be more zealous
than myself to establish .effectual barriers
against the horrors of : spiritual .tyr a nny, and
every species of religious 'persecution. For
you doubtless remember I have often expres
sed my .sentiments that any man conducting
himself as . a good citizen . ,,and,being account
able to God alone for his religious opinions,
ought to be protected in worshiping the Deity
according to the dictates of .has own con
science.
I am, gentlemen, your most ob 7 t servant
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
U The Jack advertisement in the'Journal
adding quite a number of subscribers to
ithat paper—over the left.
Court
Hear Him
The editor of the Lebanon Courier, the
only whig paper in that county, it appears
from the following, is not very friendly to
Know-rothingism. Indeed, it is gratifying
to know that all Whigs have not been swam,
ped in the miry pool of intolerance. Our
neighbor of the Journal, at one time, spoke
out in equally as .strong language, but since
then he ha's been swamped in the miry pool,
and now says, that what he said then, was
not the "real sentiments of his heart."--
But, hear what the editor of the Courier
says:
"They are bound together by secret obliga
gations of the most binding characler, and
they stop at no means to- accomplish their
ends. And this is an aristocratic coterie too.
They permit no plebeians to scent the air of
their secret machinations. The ranks and file
must be mere blind followers, swallowing
the pills prescribed, without asking ques
tions. The true democracy Of Lebanon coun
ty, or of any other county, can have no part
or lot with such—they have no common in,
terests or sympathy with them. and it is im
possible that, when men feel the dignity of
their American nationality, they will permit
themselves to be mere cats-paws in the
hands of men who intrigue• in - exclusive- .
ness."-
Strange and Dangerous
In these times a man need olot have slept
a Jonah of the time that Rip Yantvinkle did
to find strange and more wonderful changes
than did that old fellow. A Whig six years,
ago', would now find himself without a party,_
Without a principle and without a name.—
SIX years ago, there was 'in that party some
respect for the. Constitution; some attachment
for the Union, somg confidence in truth, .and
some principles by which the Whig party
were governed, But now all these things
are gone; corruption, rottenness, degrading
prostitution of truth, flagitious violation of
sacred law—all mingle in one common cal
dron, and boil, and blubber, and fuse, until
they stink in the nostrils of all who have any
respect for honesty.
We thought that the log-cabin, hard cuter
and coon-skin times of 1840, were the cli
max of political Quixotism, that in that cam
paign folly rose to her maximum, and that
men slink themselves to the lowest depth of
political prostitution; but we were mistaken.'
There was "a lower deep." Federalism--
now Know.Nothiogisrn—has found and now
occupies that lower deep.
and,the negro-loVing"abolitionists: the
slandering traducer of the foreigner ; the or
ganized band of secret conspiratirs against
religious freedom; the intolerant prOsecutors
of all religions ; the pious. whining, - canting,
professed-disciples of Protestantism and
Christianity; the disaff4cted grumbler at ev
erything, and the mousing unprincipled dem
agogue ; all—all united to put down the
ancient Democratic party, to usurp the gov
ernment, and make negroes free and white
men slaves. This contest has no parallel in
ancient or modern times. The confusion of
Babel was not more incongruous, the over
throw of Rome by the Goths was not more
completely a prostitution of things sacred,
than will be the withering and annihilating
effect which the success of this vile and
venal fusion will produce upon our happy
country.
Let the man of principle—no matter to
which patty he has heretofore belonged—
gird on his armor and prepare to resist this
foul and unnatural conspiracy; this iniquitous
and vile botch potch of political and moral
infidelity ,Tiarrish ur Union.
Freed.oni of •Thouglii: and Action. vs
Perjury.
A Know-Nothing was asked to vote for
the anti-Know-nothing candidate for Justice
of the Peace of this borough on Friday last.
His reply was—"l would rather ten times
over, vote for ,him than any the Council conld
nominate—but I dare not, and cannot do it,
unless I would commit Perjury?" What
can any honest man think of such anprgani
zation, or any man who professes to be a
Christian, who enters such a sacrilegious and
despotic institution? The Reverend gentle
men of the countyywho are; members, are no
doubt highly delighted with their brethren
in Tt is a notorious face that the
leaders of that organization in this county,
are composed 'of drunkards, gamblers, sab
bath , breakers an& infidels , who whilst
swaggering around the streets, boastfully
swear that there are no such places as heav
en and hell, and they repair to the Councils
and there presumtuously undertake to•correct
the religious errors of•achriatian denomina
tion! !1
It is amazing that such scoundvlism and
hypocrisy does not call down the wrath of
Heaven, and render the authors thereof - more
accursed than ancient Herod; but the aven
ging hour will come, and terrible will be the
consequences thereof.—Somerset Democrat.
Cannibalism. in New York
At the trial of a butcher named Jenkins, in
Brooklyn ; for selling - "plated veal," a wit
ness named -Pessinger • testified as folloWs;
"I can produce a woman in Williamsburgh
that cooked.steaks cgs from the thigh of the
pirate Gibbs, who was hung, and people ate
and pronounced them the ''finest they ~ever
ate, being under the impression amt it was
the flesh of an.anirnal."
Mr. Pessinger, in explanation of the broil
ing of a portion of the flesh of Gibbs, said
it was at a hotel in the Bowery, kept by the
husband of the woman referred to, at an af
fair called a "Tackle," in' , which every -per
son participating contributed sonic- article of
food to be prepared for the dinner Ohis place
was a resort for medical, students, and the
body of Gibbs having been handed over to
the medical faculty fO,- dissection, a wag of
a student conceived . Ilie;'idea',of playing off
a Joke upori',Serne . lof the' participants at the'
"Tackle accoOingly. procured 's. - Orrie
slices of the remains of the pirate, : Which
were cooked and, passed oil' as the flesh, of
some animal ; those who partook, pronoun
ced it most delicieds.
Pes,ainger attended, one of those " Tackles,"
in his earlier days, where part of a-dog .I.vas
nicely cooked and served up; the meat was
highly praised by all who partook, and it
set nicely upon the stomach .until the joke
leaked out, and then it would not stay down.
[=--• The Cincinnati gazette (Know-Noth
ings) closes" some comments on the recent
defeat of its party, thus:
"Why is this ? Why has the American
party suffered this paralysis? Why has it
dwarfed to a pigmy in a few months in this
great city ?"

Know-Nothingism Routed
The spring elections afford the most grati

idly regaining their ascendency in Ohiu.—
The following - cities and large towns have
gone against the Know-Nothings. and in
favor of the Democrats; by a

Look at the. pyramid :
AKRON, •
CHILLICOTHE,
GUYAHOGA FALU,
DAYTON, NEW RICHIVIOND,
MEDINA, TOLEDO, SA-NDUSKY,
HAMILTON, CINCINNATI, FREMONT,
These places gave large Know-Nothing
majorities last fall. In Columbus and Cleve
land the bigoted and proscriptive order only
succeeded by meager majorities. The Dem,
comic ship has righted up, and we have
every indication that we will politically
sweep the State in October next ! Speaking
of the result of the, election in Dayton, the,
Empire says
"The result of the election in this city
Yesterday proves the truth of what we have
all along contended for—"that the people
can" if they will, defeat the Know-Nothings
at every election. The vote yesterday pro
ved another declaration which we recently
made—"that the bottom had been knocked
out of the Know-Nothing kettle, and that
the institution was, at least in Montgomery
County,, virtually dead ." We presuine that
all will now agree with us on this question.
By reference to the returns, be seen
that Know-Nothingism has been badly bea
ten in Dayton. When the Know-Nothing
vote of last fall is compared' with the vote
of the few who succeeded yesterday, the
conviction cannot be resisted, that the
'sorder" has met with a decisive, humiliating'
defeat in every ward in the city. The ex- ‘
ceeding meagerness of the Know-Nothing
majorities fully indicate the pitiable condi
tion of the organization, and we now. predict,
with the certainty which unmistakable signs I
inspires, that a Know-Nothing ticket, as
such, will never be offered to the people of
Dayton again !"—Cincinnati Euquirer' 4 , 1 5.
Great Victory in Indiana
To the Editors of the Cincinnati Enquirer :
At the city and township eleetion'in Au
rora.. Dearborn County, Indiana, the Democ
racy came 'out victorious, electing every man
on their ticket except one Councilman.—
This was considered, one of the strongholds
of the K. N.'s in the State, and, indeed, they
were more bitter and proscriptive than any
where else; but the democracy hunted them
down, and, before the election, the leaders of
the "Inquisition" begged for quarters. At
the election last fall the Cayenness received
a majority of fonAteen ; now the tables are
turned, and the Democracy roll up a majori
ty averaging one hundred and fifty. The
boyes aie in good humor. 'Glory enough
for one day I" The iniquitous order of
Know-Nothingism has been ignored in the
'Hoosier-State.' 2

"The genuineness of its sentiments, its per

of the day.
"Our readers have heard of an oasis in a des
ert—well, Nelly Bracken is the oasis of the
dreary desert of American female literature of
the present day.—lVew York Courier and In

"Unless we very much misjudge the value, it
is destined to no mean rank a:mong,the original
works of American fiction."
"It is a first effort, and is one full of promise
of yet greater excellence."---Boston Atlas.
The authoress of Nclly Bracken is with us a

tance. We have in our library, those more uo 7

aside Annie Chambers Bradford, it matterslittle
whether she be "sweet sixteen" or the shady
