We were visited, on Friday last, with a
severe storm of wind accompanied with rain
- and hail. One span of the new Railroad
bridge being erected for the Huntingdon and
, (.c.A3road Top Company over the Juniata at this
"• t place, was blown down—the loss is estima,

unroofed and the gable ends blown down.
':.A slip of timber adjacent Co the house was
blown down—it has the appearance of being
all cut and felled toward the river. Several
' :fruit trees were also prostrated. In Little

down to the threshing floor, was blown away.
East of this we hear of several barns having
been blown down, and many frnit and

ANOTHER NEW PRESS.—The materials
have been purchased for a new paper to be
published in this place. Mr. JOHN A. NASH,
a practical printer and an industrious and
worthy young man is to be the publisher and
editor. Of its politics we can know nothing
until the first number is issued.
The Know-Nothing press class all
who voted for Pollock as Know-Nothing or
favoring the intolerance of that order. We
know of at least a few Whigs in this county
who were deceived into the support of Pol
lock,—they will not be caught in the same
company a second time.
ppeaking out in Meeting
The corruption and profikacy.of the presr
ent know-nothing legislature of Pennsylva
nia is becoming apparent to every mart in
the State; but still we did not think the edi
tors of that pure new party were so willing
to acknowledge it. Yet such is the fact, as
evinced by the following, clipped from
the Harrisburg Item, one of "Sam's" or,
gans.,
"The fact is, legislation has fallen into
bad hands. A set of political scoundrels
took advantage of the late revolution in polit
ical sentiment,' and, where they dirt not hon
estly snceeed, fraud was resorted to in order
to accomplish the object. The legislation of
this session, its glaring absurdities and vil
lany, to make use of the mildest terms, will
be execrated by emery honest man in the
Commonwealth. The honor of the State is
bartered and sold by a secret conclave, as if
they had no masters, nor in any way respon
sible to public opinion, Banks are chartered
amid boisterous merriment, and foreign rail
„joad capitalists are the 'lions who worship-
Mped at the shrine of Mammon. When will
Moses descend from the mount and cast down
the golden calf?”
The Know-nothing majority in the legisla
ture may well p:claim, " . Sage Trl e from my

K. N. State Council
~ The Lancaster Examiner, an old line whig
paper, gives a sketch of the proceedings of
State Council of Know Nothings recently
litdd in that place. it appears that the right
MEN-Governor JonlisToN to a seat was
warmly contested- He was finally admitted
by a vote of 37 to Prof. To-F4.tiv was
on hand, of course. He presided ,nyer the
Council and delivered ,a. brief address, of
which the Examiner furnishes the following
sketch. It says:
"Presiclen,t Tiffany arose, and ,delivered
rather pa eloquent but tart and unpalatable
address. He argued no success Lathe Order,
but rather its rapid declension and ultimate
downfall, from the fact ; that not one tenth of
the subordinate councils in the State were
\ \ represented. That even those that were
represented, were distracted by dissensions
and want of harmony, which boded no good.
He had since the last general election visi
ted many parts of the State, and truth and
justice compelled him So spy, that. the Order
was fast sinking by its own weight .o-f.cor
ruption. The acts of the present Legislature
were characterized by such a degree of stu
pidity, venality and recklessness, that the
, only wonder_ with him, was, that the people
had tolerated it as long as they have done.—
,4
kyle hoped, however, that now, with all these
things before them, the rock on-which they
will surely split full view, that they would
betake themselves to the proper remedy in
titne,—that all would pass out of that hall
more firmly resolved than ever to be true to
•
the onNIEa and - their OATHS."

The , Democratic. Party
The Washington Union truly , remarks-that
'" every other. patty has retired from the strug
gle with intolerance and-bigotry, or has yield
ed itself captive to this- combination of fac
tions, save and except: ;he dernocracy.--,_
Throughout the entire field, the only flag that
waves in proud defiance of this cem,bination
is that of the democracy. Nor axe the nUM-.
hers-that gather under this flag unworthy of
the cause to which they have dedicated them
selves. The rank and file rernein ; the he
roes of many bard-fought conflicts have not
deserted. A few corrupt leaders have gone
—"a good tickla,nce to, them ;" but the great
body of the progressive party is as full of en
ergy and hope as ever it was, and- but little
shorn of its noble proportions. From the day
that the flag of proscription unfurled its dark
wing, we hailed•a real future of success to
the democratic party, and of service to, the
country by that party, to which all its.past
victories and all its past services will prove
to be as nothing. The political fusions and
confusions of the day will soon realize the
truth of this prophecy to their bitter coat.
Either way, the cause of truth and of equal. :
ity, of rationalliberty and sound patrietiarn,
must gain. Whether the profligate leaders
of the deluded men Nylict - have gone into these
dens of secret shame fail to carry gut their
pledges, or whether they fulfil them, it will
be all the same in the end--"a wide and gen
eral catastrophe will overtake them. If they
fail to make good their promises, the cheat
will be apparent in all its corruption: If they
go on, their votaries will start before the
long procession of persecutions, follies, and
crimes perpetrated in the name of American
ism. If we loved our country less, we should
say le: these madmen go on. The lesson
would do good through all time if it were
not purchased at too great a cost. Already
an appalling record has been made up. The
spirit of insane innovation has broken out
wherever the phrenzy of intolerance has pen
etrated. It seeks to-interfere with every po
litical right and every social obligation. It
annuls the most sacred obligations without
remorse. It strikes at every security for the
well being of society ; and in the name of re
form it inflicts countless evils upon the coun
try. On the one hand, it forces upon reluc
tant communities sumptuary laws that would
have disgraced the reign of the most disso
lute monarch that ever lived ; on the other,
it nullifies those solemn guarantees which
protect the States in their covenanted rights.
Here, it strikes down an eminent citizen for
his religion ; there, for the place of his birth.
Extravagance in its municipal and State
administrations, and the nomination of base,
ignorant, and corrupt men for office, have
been eonspicnous features in its practice, if
not in its professions. In Massachusetts it
insults weak and helpless women because
they have the hardihood to be Catholics ; in
Ohio it destroys the ballot-boxes, with the
cry of "Americans must rule America," and
retires abashed and penitent before its own
turbulence; in New York it buries a murder
ed bully' with honors, such as were scarcely
bestowed upon a departed Washington ; and
in Pennsylvania it desecrates Independence
Hall by the denunciations of the adopted cit
izens, breathed in wicked contempt of the
memories of the revolutionary struggle. We
say we could wish to see these humiliating
proceedings conducted to the close if the
country had not already "supped full of hor
rors."
It is natural that at such a time all eyes
should be turned to the democratic party,
which, on4wed by majorities, and unseduced
by appeals for aid and comfort, flings its
defiance into the teeth of those bald, bad
men, and dares them to the issue. There is
something sublime in this. Honest and
clear-minded men will see in it an opportu
nity to cut loose from the trammels of the
Whig party. The persecuted will see in the
democratic ranks a refuge and rescue from
their foes. Those derided for their faith will
find in that party a fortress that will laugh .a
siege to scorn. Now, as ever, the democra
cy opens its arms to the oppressed of a:i na
tions; now, as ever, it stands by the teach.,
ings of the past. Not one tenet of its creed
has it yielded ; not one syllable of its pled
ges ; but the more it is Assailed the more
strongly it adheres to its principles. Let fac
tions exult over temporary success ; there is
in store for the democratic party a higher
glory than it has ever yet attained—the glo
ry of rescuing our country from the hands
of the worst conspiracy that has ever been
organized against civilization and freedom
since the foreign foe invaded our happy
shores.

Beware of Foreign Influence
We would especially direct the attention
of our readers to the perusal of the following
article from the New York Evening Post.—
That paper states that it is now, for the first
time, afraid of ti.le foreign influence, and
gives the following_ reasons for it
"tine have ascertained to our entire satis
faction that there is a secret and very numer
ous organization, with mysterious agencies
in nearly every village in the United States,
now actively engaded. in banding together
the people of. foreign hinth. arneng us, and_ in
keeping aliv,e awing them all the national.
prejudices and preferenc ,- s, political, social
and religious,, which they may have brought :
with. them to our shores. 'lt seems.to be the
principal object of this. know-nothing organi
zation to, prevent, alien resitients from: becom
ing interested in and, identified with the
American institutions and. people, and from
parting with-their allegiance to the govern
rnenis under which they were born. In ac
complishing this result, they neglect no.op
portunity of fomenting the most malignant
antipathies. a f rid• jealousies in the• breasts of
alien residents ; they induce them to believe
that they will be deprived of employment,
that their lives and. property are insecure
and that their churches will be wrested from
them by the courts, or perhaps burned by
mobs. The secret instruments of this know
nothing organization have secured prominent
positions in our legislative assemblies:: mea-,
sures of their devising occupy a very consid
erable share of the time of our representa
tives; its members exert a powerful, and of
ten a controlling, influence at our political
meetings; and there are those among them
who do not disguise their expectation of ele
vating one of their order in the presidency at
the next election;
"But all their plans, as we have before sta
ted, contemplate a separation of feeling and
of interest bet Ween our native and foreign
born population, and in furtherance of this
object they have recently procured the intro
duction of a bill into the United States Senate
which is designed to limit the privilegeof citi
zenship to persons tiho have resided in the
country for a period of at least twenty-one
years. This insidious proposition is advoca
ted upon grounds of pretended patriotism ;
but no one who reflects upon its operattens
for a single moment can fail to see the dark
er purpose which lies behind it, to bring the
foreigners together by, the ties of a common
injustice and a common privation, and at the
same time to diminish, if not to destroy, all
interest in the prosperity of their adopted
country. They reason correctly, that if the
half million of emigrants from the old coun
try who annually seek a home in the United
States were required to wait twenty-one
years before they were allowed any influ
ence in making the laws to which they were
required to submit, or in expending the rev
enues towards which they were required to
contribute, in a very few years their numbers
would become so great as to, create a mighty
nation in our midst, disgusted by our intoler 7
ante, unfriendly to our institutions, indispo
sed to mingle with our people, andready to
unite with our enemies, whether internal or
external, at a Moment's notice.
"This intolerant organization, we have
good reason for believing, already numbers
several hundred thousand members. What
renders it the more dangerous, as well as
disgraceful, is the fact that each member is
admitted, under the most solemn and impres
sive oaths, to conceal not only its objects
and doings but the names of all who belong
to it.
"We presume what we have disclosed of
their proceedings will satisfy our readers that,
whatever their purposes may be ; the results
which they are laboring to accomplish are
most mischievous; that they are at war with
the spirit of our institutions, and with the
true interests of our country, which depend
in a very great degree upon the contrabu
tions of imported labor and capital.
Allegheny Democratic County Conven-
That the Democracy of this county may
not be ignorant of the course being pursued
by the Democracy of other counties, we this
week give the proceedings of the Allegheuy
Democratic County Convention held in Pitts
burg on the 18th just:
"A committee on resolutions was appoint
erf; and during the absence of the committee
W. W. Irwin addressed the meeting. He
spoke with much force. Irse was in favor
of united action. If the members of any of
the other political parties wished to join with
the Democratic organization in upholding
the .constitution and laws of the country
against the wiles of a secret enemy, he was
willing to extend to them the right hand of
fellowship. All minor or local considera
tions should be forgotten in the one grand ef
fort to crush the foes of equal rights. The i
Democratic party had a duty to perform of
higher importance than the elevation of A.
B. and C. to-office. The institutions of our
country were to be upheld—the principles of
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackson
were to be carried out—those glorious princi
ples which declared that this land should be
the asylum of the oppressed of all nations—
that it should be emphatically "the land of
the free and the home of the brave." To
show the tendencies of Know-Nothingisrn,
he stated that but the other day a law was
passed by the Legislature of this Stale, ,enti
tled "A. Prohibitory License Law," which
violated the constitution of the United 6tates.
There was one section of it which precluded
the Courts from granting license to any but
those who were citizens of America. We
have treaties with all the civilized powers
of the earth, he continued, in which we con
cede to their subjects the same privileges
with ourselves to carry on trade and com
merce; yet the Legislature of Penneylyania
stulifies itself by passing an act in direct op-
position to those treaties. It is intended as
a slap in the face of our German population
-it is intended ,to create a cast in society—
it is intended to degrade those of foreign
birth. It is anti-republican ! and I contend
that the Democratic .party is bound by its;
faith to resist such oppression. The Demo
crat who asserts that a foreigner should not
be entitled to the same measure of freedom
accorded to the American born is not worthy
to bear the name pf Democrat.
committee here returned, and Mr.
Irwin concluded. Col. Black, chairman,
presented the following resolutions, stating
that they reflected the unanimous sentiment
of the ,committee.
Resolved, Thatibis convention, represent
ing the Democratic prty of Allegheny coup ;
ty, doth unanimously declare its attachment
and devotion to the principles, the faith and
the practice professed and followed by the
national Democracy of our country.
tion
Resolved, That we condemn and abhor any
system or sentiment which singles out to pro
scribe and smite any man or set of men
whose only crime is a birth place about
which they were not consulted, or a religion
and forrt of worship. not approved by a por
tion of the American pubic, Tally of whom
have no, religion at all.
Resolved:That no man i entitled to a
seat in this convention, who is connected.,
with any secret political society of whatev
er name; and we respectfully Tequest any .
person adhering. to the order or association
commonly called, "Know-Nothings," to re-.
frain from, interfering with our deliberations.
If a Know-Nothing has obtained a place
here, and retains it, we denounce hiin
guilty of deception, falsehood and fraud. -
Resolved, That we entertain and cherish .
one American sentiment which is, very old,
yet always fresh in the democratic party.—
We prefer our own country to any country
and all countries on the globe. We love - our
institutions because they are liberal, in all
things, and free. We are prepared and eager
to take the side of our country against the ag-.
gressions and insult , of any "foreign party and
its abettors."
Therefore Resolved, That in the difEpul
ties and forth-coming conflict between our
own country and the .gov,:einment of Spain,.
we are very American;, that we like the prom-.
ise of the conflict all the better because the
Allied Powers of France and England have
already disclosed their purpose and design
in regard to the regulation of American of
fairs; any we can safely pledge the Demo-.
cratic party of Permsylyania; of which we
are proud, in theie dark days, to be a portion,
that it will stand by and sustain the General
Administration to the uttermost. in the adog
tion of extreme and signal measures for in
stant and full redress "of all our wrongs.—
qur adeount is large, of long standing l and
daily jncreasing. The true Americans de
mand a speedy and final settlement.
Resolved, That the existence of a secret
political erganization, should "admonish all
classes of our citizens who are opposed to
such profligate and proscriptive combinations,
to cast aside all minor considerations in a
united effort to save our country from the dis
grace which has been inflicted upon every
community where Know-Nothingism has
been successful.
Resolved, Tnat in the election of county
officers there is no political principle at pres 7
ent involved; all therefore can Unite in the
elevation of good men to administer our
county affairs, without doing violence to any
abstract political feeling pr principle which
they may entertain.
Resolved, That in order to bring about a
triumph of the people in the next fall's elec
tion, the chairman of this convention be an
thoriz.eci to appoint a county committee of
correspondence with authority to form such
a ticket as will unite in its behalf all who
are favorable to open, independent political
action, in opposition to secret, irresponsible
. ,
and unlawful combinations.'
Resolved, That when the desperate and
disappointed of all parties unite under oath ;
to monopoliqe all places of honor and profit
in the gift of the people, it is the duty of
honest - men to loin in preventing such se
cret arrangements fram being successful.
The following resolutions was offered by
Mr. Peter Ivory,:a.nd passed.
Resolved, That we hold the principles of
the present Democratic party to be a contin
uance of the doctrine laid down as a guide
for our future prosperity by the immortal
Washington, and more recently adopted by
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, anti,
thus far, through the Administration of
Franklin Pierce, believing it to be the only
safeguard from all corruption, monopoly, and
disunion of this our noble Republic through
future ages.
After the reading of the resolutions, which
were adopted without a dissenting voice, Mr.
Bailey moved that Col. Black be requested to
address the convention. A vote being taken,
the motion was passed unanimously. The
know-nothingentlemen scored the organi
zation in a withering manner. He spoke on
the resolutions at some length. lie said that
as sure as the sun set there would be trouble
between the United States on one side, and
England, 1; ranee and Spain an the other,
and we wppld then see whether the members
of the secret order would swill the test—the
true test—and whether those who were pre
scribed would not be among the foremost in
the defense of our country. "The Hindoos
proscribe not only those who are born on a for
eign soil, or who profess a particular religious
creed," he centif,ued, "but proscribe all who
fail to think as they do. They proscribe me,
although I was born and raised here, and al
though I um the son of a minister of the Cov
enanter faith.
Judge Shannon being loudly called for, he
arose and stated that he had never attended a
convention in which so much unanimity of
feeling prevailed. He said the Democrats
had nothing to do but to follow the acknowl
edged principles of the party. Every mem
ber should go forth from the convention with
the determination to uphold those principles.
He knew there was a party in our midst who
would proscribe him to a greater degree than
the learned gentlemen who had preceded
him—bir. Black. But he did not care. It
was well known that a foreign party .could
never attain the ascendancy in this county.—
As to the fear of a certain religious sect, it
was groundless. They stood as one to twen
ty-four. They had not a single representa
tion in the legislature. When,ce, he asked,
does this fear spring g Nowhere. If in the
order ofGod's providence they strip me of
the right to vote, I shall not change rrxy sen
timents. Let them do with me as They
please: I will still bend my knee and pray
for the perpetuity of American institutions.
It was the most harmonious meeting we
have witnessed. Every Democrat present
seemed satisfied with the proceedings.—
Know-Nothings were a scarce commodity.--
The place didn't suit them.
