dered the country side. A general 6 - attere
was announced to come off. Several head
were shot down, more wounded, and some
taken. Seven or eight escaped. "Now and
again we see announced that they leave their
marks in several places. The tither day a
miner succeeded in killing one, and some one
else succeeded in wounding another. The
press speaks of the proceedings as if it were
relating a bear hunt." We are told that the
month has been prolific in the following
crimes :—murders, duels, robberies, burgla
ties, assaults with deadly . weapons, larceny,
rape, and other minor offences." Our corres
pondent admits that Judge Lynch has been
on circuit a little more frequently of late, for
during the month, nine men—that is all—
have been put to death by the people. One
case only seems to strike upon his imagina
tion as somewhat remarkable, and we will
call attention to it in his own words :
"An American named Brown, was found
guilty, after a legal trial, of mural., and con• '
demned to be hung on the same day with a I
Californian,•also legally condemned for anoth- •
er murder. Brown's execu don was ordered by I
the Supreme Court of the State, to be stayed on I
'an appeal, on the ground of a flaw in the m
dictment, which would probably have given I
him a new trial. The people, however, deter
mined that both criminals, should have even
handed justice meted out to them, and after
the Californian had been executed by the !
constituted authorities, a mob broke open the
prison doors and hanged Brown. The May
or, after he had performed his part at the
legal execution of the Californian, resigned
his office, to enable him consistently to assist
in his private capacity, in the lynching of
Brown. At' last accounts he was a candidate
for his former office, with every prospect of
success. No doubt BroWn was guilty, and, •
as Los Angeles has long been the scene of
murders and other horrible crimes, the peo
ple determined to make a salutary example -
by an act of stern impartiality. The three
men hanged at Turner's Ferry were guilty of
cattle-stealing--a crime which has of late
been carried to such an extent as to have re
quired a striking example to put a stop to it.
There are several horse-stealers in custody,
who were rescued from mobs just as they •
were preparing to execute summary justice
upon them."
The incident of the mayor who throws him
self upon the constituency—just like Lord
John after having accepted the colonies—
strikes one as peculiarly racy and illustrative'
of life in California.
The Methodist Church'
From the true American, the Know- Noth
ing Organ ; puplished at Trenton, we clip the •
following onslaught upon the Methodist
Church. It will be seen that the extract ful
ly confirms what we have frequently asser
ted that the leaders of the Know-Nothings
would not hesitate to make the same war up
on any religious sect, that they have been
making upon the Catholics, whenever they
might see that they could make political cap- •
ital thereby. And it is so. Already they
pretend to have discovered that there exists
in the Methodist Church a great central pow
er, in the hands of the Bishops, and they
have seized hold of this to rouse the prejudi
ces of all other sects. If any christian man
can read the extract and not feel alarmed for
the safety and purity of religious, toleration,
so vital in its preservation, he must be much
of a stoic in feeling.
In our condemnation of the Know-Noth
ings we have been governed by no preferen
ces for the Catholtc faith, and no sympathy
for its creed. It is the principle of tolera
tion, guaranteed to all sects, by the Constitu
tion of the country, which we have defend
ed. We would give to every man his rights
of conscience, and resist any attempt to
bring the religious element of the country, or
any church, into the political arena. We
are protestant in all our opinions and educa- •
iion, and we have contemplated with alarm
this attempt to bring Catholicism into poli
tics, for we saw that it must eventuate, soon
er or later, in political persecutions against
Protestant sects. It has:; come sooner than .
we anticipated. The Know Nothing organ
at Trenton has raised the war cry against the
Methodist Church. and thenceforth that
Church is to be put on the same category
with the Catholics, as dangerous to the gov
ernment. and its members as dangerous citi
yens. Every attempt will be made to in
flame the other protestant sects against this,
to arouse all the old prejudices and bigotries
which have been inculcated against it by oth
er denominations.
We appeal to christian men and ask, is it
not time to pause, reflect and then act,—act
with determination and zeal? If you love
your holy religion, and value your privilege
to enjoy it, is it not time to arise and rebuke
that fell spirit of ambition, which seeks to
gain the honors of the government over the
prostrate body of the Religion of Christ,—by
trampling its principles in the, 7 dost, and
using the prejudices of different sects as the
instrument of its destruction _
Around the humble alters of the Methodist
Church, gather many reminiscence of youth
ful training, and youthful devotion.—We
have love its simplicity, honored the single
hearted devotion of its members, and republi
can tendencies of its organization. But all
these cannot shield it from the modern mach
inations of the Evi' One, who seeks now to
bind the Church in the fetters of darkness
and destruction by involving its different
sects in a cruel and relentless persecution
against each other. Religion or Know-Noth
ingism must fall in this country. Which
shall it be? Here is the extract. Read—re
fleet :
The very organization of the Methodist
Episcopal church is dangerous to the liber
ties of a free people. Supposin2 a crisis to
arise in a political action, in which the hie
rarchy of the Methodist Church is interested.
From the independence of all the parts on
one great central power, it is easy to perceive
how the suffrages of most of the members
may be controlled by the Bishops. Let the
Bishops suggest to the presiding elders that
the interest of their ecclesiastical despotism
will be subverted by the election of a cer
tain set of men to office;—the presiding el
ders use their influence over the preachers,
the preachers over the class leaders, and the
class leaders over the class members, and
thus the balance of power in a political con
test may rest in the hands of seven Methodist
Bishops. There is
. as much danger of this,
as there is of Romantsm accomplishing a sim
ilar result; provided the occasion requires it.
'CI have thus briefly shown that Episcopal
Methodism is Anti-American, in its spirit
and tendency, and that it is a danger
ous foe to republicanism. I have shown that
it had its origion in usurpation,—that it s
very organization provides for the support
and extension of assumed power, and that
this power may be expressly exercised with
out restriction. I have shown that Metho
dist I Fpiscopacy containsin itself the very ele
'rents of an absolute despotism, and therefore
must ultimately unless checked, subver t and
destroy our republican institutions."
Satan's Kingdom Tumbling Down.
The Know-Nothing party which sprung
up in a day, is likely to. wither in an hour.- -
Already throughout the length and breadth
of the land we hear of members withdrawn,
lodges breaking up—one in Somerset county.
recently closed the door, burned their consti
tution and obligations, and voted their funds
to the poor. The Time has come when men
have bea.t,n to reflect, and reflection leads
many of them to withdraw from the embrace
of the midnight hag. We verily believe that
the day is not far distant when persons who
now belong to that order will be held up to
the public as nn worthy of political character,
and will be shunned by their fellowmen, as
if afflicted with a loathsome disease.
That Know-Nothingiam is destined to a
speedy fall is evident to every candid mind.
In its own bosom lurks the very poison that
will destroy it; a party composed of the "rag
tag and bobtail" of the country can never
gain a firm hold in . this nation. It may
flourish for a day, but then it will wither
away. Let every observing man look at the
party and see if you don't find the old, re
spectable and religions portion —with few
exceptions—without its folds. • The only
thing that ever induced decent men, who
were not political reprobates to join, was on
account of the Catholics. The founders of
the organization were aware that something
of the kind most be engrafted, in its profes
siones principles to make it a sweet pill to
swallow. But reader remember their great
horror and professed hatred against the Cath
olics is only a catch-trap to draw the unsus
pecting into its folds. Its deeds of darkness
are what those who wish' to join should ex
amine into carefully before they take the
oaths. We are wandering from our starting
subject, but we fell like giving some facts
which we want every intelligent man to
ponder tvell. They are simply these:
Did one ever know of a secret political
oath-hound society ever doing any country the
least good ? On the contrary history informs
us that they have been attended with evil.—
If there is nothing evil about this Know
. Nothing party, why will men positively as
sert that they have no connection with the
order when it is known that they are full
members ? Why will persons enter their
places of meeting clandestinely and in a
sneaking cowardly manner? Because they
do not want to be known; and why; for the
simple reason that they are ashamed to have
the intelligent portion of the community
where they may have their lodge located,
know that they belong to an order that is
founded upon religions intolerance, and its
principles being contrary to the Bible, the
Constitution of our country and everything
holy and sacred.
Thank God the day is already dawning
when the threatened dangers that are hang
ing over our beloved land are beginning to
vanish away. The people have'awakened to
their own interests, to • the interest of our
country, arid the interests of Christianity and
the sirnoon will shortly be checked in its
course of destruction and death.—Miffin

Q :7' We copy the following hit at Gov.
Pollock from the Philadelphia Ledger.:
We have remonstrated against all inci,:mse
of banking capital in the State, as so much
added to the taxes on our industry ; for what
ever bankers make over legal interest, is, of
course, an extra levy on the producer for the
sole benefit of the speculator. We have
taught that the way to get rid of a bad sys
tem is to let each institution die out, as its
term expires; and thus, quietly, and without
disturbance of existing fashions in finance,
we should be freed from all chartered privi
leges to the few to impose on the many. We
are not quite sure that Governor Pollock, in
his sly way, has not the same object in
view, but adopts a different and much
more objectionable way to accomplish it. In
our prisons they wean the inebriate by les
sening his allowance of grog a little every
day, till - at last "no grog" is the law. In
this way no destructive constitutional distur
bance is created. In the new prison of
Schuylkill county, it was at first the practice
to stop the grog on every bruiser when he
came within its walls. But the morality
was so dreadful from this course, that the ta
pering off system has been substituted with
good results. In Sweden they take Gover
nor Pollock's plan, viz : The rummy is at
once served with gin, (the usual drink there)
without stint, but in the following way : In
his tea and his coffee, in his bread and his
milk, in his water and his gravy, gin is mix
ed. His bed cloths are scented with it—in
short nothing is allowed in his cell that has
not been well scented with gin. By and by
thepoor fellow becomes so disgusted•that the
sm ell of gin ever rate] presents no attraction,
and the man is safe. It is said that our Gov
ernor claims this Swedish precedent in justi
fication of his course and in consistence with
his message doctrine.
The Horrors of War---A Fearful Tra
gedy
The London Times lays before i ts readers
the particulars of a horrible affair, which
recently occurred near the Dutch settlement
of Transvaal, at the Cape of Good Hope and
which can only be paralled in atrocity among
the achievments of modern times, by the ex
ploit of Marchal St Arnaud in Algiers, when
he smoked and burned to death thousands of
his barbarian opponents who had sought
refuge in a deep and spacious cave:
"In the case at the Cape of Good Hope,
the Caffre Indians had murdered, in October
last, under circumstances of great barbarity,
ten or twelve men and women of the Dutch
settlement. Immediately General Pteterious
raised an army of 500 men,
and, accompa
nied by Commander General Potgietter, pro
ceeded on an expedition to revenge the blood
of the victims. After an absence of several
weeks, they reached some remarkable sub
teranean caverns, half a mile in length, and
from three to five hundred feet in width,
where the Caffers had entrenched themselves.
Upon his arrival at this spot, General Prete
rious attempted to blast the rocks above the
caverns, and thereby crush the savages be
neath the ruins. The peculiar character of
the stone, however rendered this scheme im
practicable, and he then stationed his men
around the mouths of the caves, and built np
walls in front of them. After a few days ma
ny of the women and children were driven
by hunger and thurat from their hiding pla
ces, and were allowed to escape, but every
man who come forth was shot dead by their
rifles. On the 17th of November, at the
close of a siege of three weeks, the besiegers
seeing no signs of life, entered the caverns,
and the silence within, together, with the
horrible odor arising from the dead, told how
effectually their object had been accomp!isb
ed. More than nine hundred Callers had
been shot down af;the mouths of the caverns,
and a much greater number had perished by
slow degrees, suffering all the horrors of star
vation in the gloomy recesses within."
From the Sandusky (Ohio) Mirror.
The Scarlet Degree
We have made rapid progress in Know-
Nothingism 7 and are enab?ed to announce
to the world our. introduction in the -"SCAR
LET DEGIt EL'," or Third—which was estab
lished at the recent sitting of the State Coun
cil. Only a selected few are permitted to
become members of this degree, in which
the selections of all candidates for office are
made, and then presented to the members of
the first and second degrees, who are SWORN
to support all nominations made by the order.
This gives the "small fry" no choice what
ever, in selecting the ticket they have to sup
port.
As this degree only extends .to a selected
few—the "aristocracy and the rich and well
born"—the masses cannot possibly ascertain
the work, therefore we have concluded to fur
nish them with the information, that they
may be fully posted on the doings and works
of the order. Here are their instructions,
oaths, grips, pass-words, signs &c. Let our
readers, and especially the members of the
first and second' degrees of the order, make
themselves familiar with the work. The
document can be relied upon as genuine :
NEW DEGREE.
This degree is only to be, given to a por
tion of those who have taken the first and
second of the old work.
You will have in your conncil a large
cross, a mitre and crown, all made of paper,
laid on the floor in the centre of the room.
The candidates will each put their right foot
on these emblems and face to the President,
the right hand on the breast, the left hand in
dex finger will point down to the "embleins of
Rome under their feet. Then obligate
them.
OBLIGATION

and not unto him or them until after strict
trial and examination, I find them entitled to
the same, I also swear that I will due obedi

of Ohio, and to the laws and edicts of the
National Council of North America, they be

Council of this Order of which I may be a
member. I also swear that I will not vote,
nor give my influence to any member of the
Roman Catholic Church or faith, orany for

I will remove all such from office or place.
I also swear that I will vote only for mem
bers of this Order for any office or place at
elections, `State or National also swear
that when I see the sign or hear the sig

relief of a brother of this degree at -the peril
of my own life. ' To do this, I - most 'solemn
ly promise, declare' and swear, binding my
self under no less penalty of being expelled
from the Order, and having my name posted
through the United States as a traitor 'and
perjurer to my God and country.
Candidate answers do. 1;
There is a lecture follows this, to be given
by the Vice President. I will not copy it, as
you can do without it till you get the books.
The sign of this dagree is made by cros

A Clerical Scamp.
The Cincinnati Enquirer of Wednesday
contains the following piece of villainy of
the Rev. John Howard Wilson. This gentle
man, under the sacred cover of his clerical
habiliaments, has committed such acts as
cannot fail to bespot the holy calling of a fol
lower and expounder of Christ's teachings :
We beard yesterday of a series of villain
ies perpetrated recently by a wolf in sheep's
clothing, of a character to bring the reverend
impostor, if caught, to the penitentiary. His
name is John Howard Wilson, and he has
been preaching for some time past at Che
viot. Being endowed with a soft, oily
tongue, and a sleek appearance, he tried his
killing accomplishments indiscriminately
with the unmarried belles of that suburban
village with such success, that he engaged
himself to be maried to no less than eleven,
some of whom he borrowed money from, up
on pretence of making the necessary arrange
ments toward housekeeping. Of one young
lady he obtained $5O, which he laid between
the leaves of a Bible in her parlor, to be used
the day previous to the wedding ;but when,
upon hearing of the pranks of the sanctimo
nious Lothario, she looked in the hiding
place, the bank bills were non est. ,
The manner which led to the discovery of
his multifarious engagements was, that a cou
ple of the betrothed met by accident in a fash
ionabre dry goods establishment in this city.
After mutual recognition, they proceeded to
examinc„yarious fabrics and make purchases
for the approachinc , nuptials. In the course
of conversation, they made mutual confes
sions of the contemplated marriages, and dis
covered they were engaged to the same man.
A fainting exhibition of course followed. The
disconsolate damsels returned without their
purchases to the quiet village, where they
speedily proclaimed the villainy of the ras
cally pastor, who, getting wind that all was
discovered, made tracks between two days
during the past week.
Since his exit it has been discovered that
he sometime ago forged a draft on Mr. Elliot,
of the Methodist Book Concern, which was
honored, No tidings have been heard of him
since his absquatulation, but we presume he
will turn up under another name, when he
can discover a convenient field to reap a har
vest by playing upon credulity of the suscep
tible feminines who have a penclia;zl for Jove
and sanctity.
The American Party.
The time is rapidly approaching when
the potency of the despotic discipline practi
sed by the Know Nothing or American party
must pass an ordeal of no common severity.
Thus far but few obstacles, and those of a
comparatively trivial character, have interpo
sed to test the wisdom of a secret, oath
bound political organization, and those who
confidently assume that the experiment has
been successfully made, and that a harmoni
ous and brilliant future is in store for the
American party, as at present constituted,
know little of human nature, and less of that
instinctive political freedom
_that is so emi
nently characteristic of the American people.
In this instance, the brief past that has a re
cord of the Know Nothing organization, is no
safe criterion by which to judge of the future.
The institution is yet an experiment,—it is
yet a stranger to the many embarrassing cir
cumstances which aim with crushing power
at the supremacy of all discipline, and which
no human tactics ever yet successfully defi
ed. Its path has thus far been one of singu
lar ease and maddening success. Holding at
its will the balance of power between the
old political organizations, it has had but to
decide where its strength should be manifes
ted, and an easy victory was achieved. But
such cannot long be its position. It must
now assume a standing as one of the inde
pendent organizations of the day, and rely
upon the merits of its measures to sustain it.
The new-born zeal that now pervades its
ranks is but the thing of a day, and unless
based upon enduring and defensible princi
ples, must soon sicken its victim and recoil
with terrible effect alike upon the men and
measures which called it into existence.
The American party has never yet been
the party of power. It has heralded its vic
tories by the score and claimed triumph upon
triumph, but it has yet to assert its supre
macy, and more than all, has vet to display
its skill in maintaining it. For its success
in controlling and directing its actions, it re
lies mainly upon the extraordinary party ob
ligations its members assume, and many of
its recognized leaders vainly think insubor
dination and disaffection impossible, under
any circumstances, because to refuse impli
cit obedience to the mandates of the organi
zation, is to invite disgrace. Here is the
rock on which the new party must evident
ly break, unless wise counsels interpose
speedily to arrest the impending disaster.—
It is not to be concealed that even now, with
the party still in its infancy and but an aux
iliary to the victories it so lustily boasts, the
sentiment is widening and deepening through
out its members that its platform must be
shorn of its intolerant features; that its sys
tem of government must be liberalized so as
to ignore its extra-judicial oaths and ridicu
lous penalties, and that it must in all essen
tial features be popularized to conform to the
imperative demands of public sentiment, or
it must run a brief career and be-swept from
existence by the returning wave of popular
opinion. We do not indulge in vain specu
lations based upon Common rumor or imagi
nation. It is a notorious truth that an ear
nest struggle is now progressing in the new
order, the aim of which is to effect an open
organization on a liberal American platform,
and go before the world in defense of it.---
This wise reform -has enlisted in its interest
the great mass of disinterested Americans,
who look beyond personal preferment to the
general welfare, while it is sternly resisted
by every demagogue who hopes to gain pow
er in defiance. of the popular will, and by
every new-fledged leader who fears the loss
of his presumed importance. Thus far the
latter class has prevailed, and it. is well un
derstood that at the late Know Nothing State
Convention at Lancaster, it formally estab
lished its supremacy, and gave the expres
sion of the party in Pennsylvania in favor of
a continuance of its present proscriptive,
anti-republican and justly odious system of
government.—Chambersburg Whig.
The Whig Party Under its New title,
It sometimes happens, when a theatrical
company gets "short of hands," that "one
actor, in his time, plays many parts." It is
no uncommon thing to see a character kil
led off in one act reappearing in the next,
and finally dying a second time in thefine/e.
This custom has often reminded us of the va
rious uses to which the whig party is put.—
Within a short period of time—a period fa
miliar to our youngest voters—we have seen
them whigs, abolitionists ; native-Americans ;
and in favor of religious toleration and more
liberal naturalization laws; and now we see
the name of whig utterly discarded, and a
new name assumed—the name of know-noth
ings! In the capacious maw of this greedy
organization, abolition ; protective-Clay whig
gery, Webster whiggery, and southern whig
gbry have disappeared, the only one of these
ingredients, that shows itself more powerful
than ever under the new name, being that of
abolition. We should not wonder if these
frequent changes and disguises would be
most wearisome to the old-fashioned whigs.
We are told, however, that they rather like
it ; and it would seem as if this were so, from
the silence of the soi-disant whig press.
What renders this propensity of the whig
leaders in demanding these sacrifices at the
hands of the rank and file of tht party the
more extraordinary, is the fact--apart from
the wearing and wasting process it imposes
—that these doublings and twistings never
succeed. Each transformation is but anoth
er disgrace. Each new name covers a new
inmmy, Let the whigs look back, and see
how they lost caste and power by their com
plicity with the natives before the presiden
tial election in 1844—how then. their know
nothing investment aided in their total over
throw. Let them remember how their bank
rupt bill bankrupted them; how their anti
war course was avenged ; and, finally, how
their leaders Galphinized and Gardinerized
them when power came after prostitution.—
These tricks never avail ; and thousands of
whigs no doubtieel that it is so; and yet
there is no voice to echo their resentments—
not one ! They Are, instead. offered a new
indignity and commanded to bear it, and yet
their protest slumbers unspoken in their bo
soms. Will they go to the polls and register
this new and degrading decree ?—Washing
ton Union.
