"THE HUNTINGDON AMERICAN."—ThiS is
the name of the new paper just commenced
In this place. The first number is before us
-Josh A Ntstr,, publisher ; and JOHN A.
NASH &J. S. BARR, editors. The paper pre
.sentia very respectable typographical ap
pearance,=in politics is "new party," ad
vocating Know Nothingism: As "live and
let live" is °Wt. 'motto, barring the politics of
the American; wiS Aope the enterprise may
meet with' sOccesS. : -
111 - The Know -Nothings are an ungrateful
set of dogs. In every city and county in the
State they hold out - inducements to,the Whig
press to advecate
,their deeds, of darkness,
and as soon as such presses accomplish a
complete disorganization of the Whig party,
they desert them and establish new presses
to be.wholly under, their control.
Look at the position of the —Tournat, once
the organ of the great Whig c , party in this
county. Last fall, up to the day of election,
it was radically %I/1 - dg hut the result of the
election showed that Know-Nothingism had
diseased the body of that party, and fearing
its sudden decease, the editor was persuaded
to desert it, aifti.noW in 'turn the Know-Noth
ings desert himyand - establigh a ril'etv 'Paper,
"l'he Huntingdon, American;"' which is: to
be supported its the organ of the "new par
ty,•'' and the Journal denounced as subservi
ant to the-"haitgeri on" of the Whig.. pasty.
This Know-Nothing trick successfully prac
ticed upon the Journal, has destroyed all
confidence high minded and honorable Whigs
ever had'in it and any, effort it may ,mnke
to occupy its former position in the - Whig
'raultsiniust make it still more deserving the
scorn and contempt of all men of correct
principles.

Extract from Mr. Clay?s celebrated speech, in
defense cif' the American system, delivered
•in the Senate of the United States, Febru
'ary 3, 1882.
'The honest, patient,: and industrious Ger
man readily unites with our , people, estab
lishes himself upon some of our fat lands, fills
capacious barns, and' enjoys in • tranquility
the abundant fruits which his diligence gath
ers-around him, alivays ready to fly to the
standaril of his adopted country, or of its
laws, when called by ,the duties of patriotism.
The gay, the versatile. the philosophical'
Frenchman, accommodating himself cheer-'
fully to all the vicissitudes of life, incorpo
rates himself without difficulty in our socie
ty. But, of all foreigners, none amalgamate
themselves so quickly with Our people as the
natives of the Emerald Isle. In some of the
visions which have passed through my ima
gination, I have supposed that Ireland was
originally part and parcel of this continent,
and that, by some extraordinary convulsion
of nature, it was torn from America, and,
drifting across the ocean, it was. placed in
the unfortunate vicinity of Great Britain.
.The same open-heartedness, the same gener
ous hospitality, the same careless and un
calculating indifference about, :human -life,
_characterized the inhabitants, of both coun
tries. Kentucky has been sometimes called
the Ireland of America, and I have no doubt
that, if the current of emigration were re
versed and set•frOm- America upon the shores
of Europe, instead of bearing from Europe
to America, every' American emigrant to Ire
land would' there find, as every Irish emi
grant here finds, a hearty welcome,and a
happy home."
"It'seems to be the American destiny, the
mission which has been entrusted to us here
on this shore of the Atlantic, the great con
ception and the great duty to which we are
born, to show that all sects, - and all denomi
nations, professing reverence for the authori
ty of the author of our-being, and belief in
his revelations r may be safely tolerated with
out prejudice, either to our religion . or our
liberties.
We are Protestants, generally. speaking;
but you all know that
,there presides at the
bead of the Supreme Judicature of the Uni
ted States,-a Roman Catholic; and no man,
I suppose, through the whole, United States
immagines that the judicature is less safe ;
that the administration of public justice is
less respectable or less secure, because the
Chief Justice of the United States has been,
and is, a firm adher'ent of that religion. .A.nd,
so it is with every department •of society
among us.-
'l'n both houses of Congress, in all public,'
offices Vat proceed on 'the idea that a man's
religious belief is a matter above human .
law; that it is a question to be settled be
tween him and his Maker, because he is re
sponsible to none but his Maker for adopting
or rejecting revealed truth.
And here is the grer4 distinction which is
sometimes overiciotzed, and which I am afraid
is now too often overlooked in New Eng.
land, the glorious inheritance of the sons of
Pilgrims.,
' Men, for their , religions sentiments, are
accountable to God, and God only.

The -Coming Crops
_ .
: It is perhaps rat her . parly, to speak positive
ly of the 'agricultural' prospect .in the United
States during the coming summer ; but with
wheat, corn and potatoes at ahnost starva
tion prices, people 'may be excused for 'look
ing a little
-further ahead than 'they ordinari
ly 'do. The — reports that we receive from
Pennsylvania ; New Jersey, New York, the
West and
.the South are,of the
. most encour
aging Character. A vast -ilea! more wheat
has been soweclthau in. any former year, and
the fields of winter wheat all . look_ unusually
ivell. 'Even if 'the' season should .be unfa
vorable, the amount, of grain produced
be larger than ever
- known before,. But the
season has been very favorable, and we learn
that.the yield per acre will probably be much
above an average in.every•part of the Union.
Corn and potatoes will 'fate be' produced_iii
immense quantities, and the prospect is that
I he. agricultural productions of 1855 . will- be
enough, not 'Only to: feed America, but to•
supply the deficienCies -of Europe, and that
at a very moderate' rate..„ .The equilibrium
of trade, disturbed by - the wretched, 'wasteful,
inglorious war in EuroPe,, bids fair - to be re
established 'by the ''peaceful laborEl 'of the
American farmers,.

exertions to, profit. hy, the present appearance

now. The people's harvest will come in the

Another withdrawal from a K214^07:-
Nothing Lodge.
The Rev. J. • Ho. Tackitt, a clergyman o
the Methodist Episcopal church of Forest
ville,
Chautauque county, Ne-w. York,. has.
publicly withdrawn from the know-nothing
order in a card, which appears in the. Fredo
nia Censor,
,and which wears so markedly
the Stamp of good faith. and uprightness of
purpose that we give it a place ;
To the President and Council at Forestville ;
Chautauque, New York
, When I '.joined -this council, joined in
obod faith, and have,acted
-according." - to the
obligations of the order since,• as:l:under
stand them,-that is, that we are to. vote for
second-degree members for office, - if we judg
ed it best for the American cause ;and, as I
judged it not for the best interest of the Amer
ican cause to vote for Mr. :I[lllrita.n for:gover
nor of the State of New . York, under the cir
cumstances under, tilaidh he was nominated,
1 therefore voted for Mr. Myron H. Clark
for'c-overnor, and for second-degree members
of the order for all' other offices, as I deemed
them proper persons to fill sush,offices, and
have acted upOn this principle ever since I
belonged."
But recently learning - from some of,the
members" of the council that the obligations
of the order are construed by this council
so as to bind us to, vote for, second-degree
members, and those only, and that if we vo
ted for, any. others ; and pot .such - as nomina r
ted by' the cOu'nci4 - and Carrie to the knol.vl
- Of the -council, - we must be expelled;
and I have seen documents from the supreme
council of .the order construing 'the obliga;"
tions the 'same way ; and as I, with many
others ; joined before such construction was
given, of which We 'had any knowledge, by
oat supreme council, and such construc
tion operates upon us an ex post fapto law,
making an act a crime and punishable which
was cortimitted before such a law existed,
and as in a free government. no person can
be subjected to punishment. by an ex post
facto law, which is making as act puniSha
ble in a manner in which it was not punish
able at the time it was committed; and as
such a law is contrary to the constitution of
the United States and every State in the
Union, I therefore do hereby" most 'respecful-•
ly withdraw from this order that I may ex
ercise my elective franchise constitutionally,
and according to the dictates of my own con
science and judgment, untrammelled by the
dictation of any man or set of men.
