Congress.
No Speaker yet. The Know Nothings and
Abolitionists are in the majority, and are
taking care of the people's interests with
about as much honesty of purpose as they
did last winter in our State Legislature.
Pennsylvania Legislature.
The Pennsylvania Legislature will assem
ble on Tuesday next. The Senate " will be
Democratic by one majority—the House by a
large majority. The first business will be
the organization of both Houses by the elec
tion of Democratic officers, and we hope
none but honest, competent, and dyed-in-the
wool deserving Democrats may be selected.
The Governor's message will be laid before
our readers as soon after received as possible.
A HANDSOME PaEs.r.NT.—Yesterday morn
ing we received from Messrs. .TAYLOR &
CREMER, a handsome Christmas present in
the shape of about a peck of very fine apples,
the same that took premiums at our county
fair. If any of our country friends want good
fruit they should secure trees from the nur
series of these gentlemen. They have our
thanks for the.very handsome present.
STILL THEY COAIE.—Our kind friends are
keeping us pretty well supplied with' gong
meat.' Since our last issue we have receiv
ed from -Mrs. SARAH Nast', a few feet of
pudding and sausage, and from Mrs. CATHA•
RINE GWIN a few feet of sausage. They will
please accept our thanks.
EIC7We have been informed that one of the
ladies we named last week as having sent us
a few feet of sausage, was surprised and felt
like giving us fits when she found her name
in print. Can't help it—we always acknowl
edge publicly snch friendly gifts. But to
ccmpromise, we'll agree .to 'never mention
it' if she will send us a few more feet.
Map of Huntingdon County
By refference to an advertisement in anoth
er column it wilf be seen that WILLIAM
CHRIST; Esq., late County Surveyor, in
tends, if sufficient encouragement can be ob
tained, to publish a map of this county.—
That the publication of a correct map of the
county will meet with a sufficiently liberal
encouragement there can be no doubt; and
as Mr. CHRISTY'S qualifications for getting
up such a map are well known to our readers
we feel certain they will give his project an
early consideration.
THE CONVENTION OF KNOW NOTHING,
ABOLITION, FREE LOVE, ANTI-DEMOCRATIC
EDITORS.—The Convention of Editors adver
tised to assemble in this place un the 19th,
was nowhere to be found by the reporters
we had engaged for the occasion. We have
made inquiry, but we have not been able to
learn whether the Convention was held or
not. We have been informed however, that
Rev. Stephen Miller, editor of the Harrisburg
Telegraph, Rev. Keys of the Tyrone Era,
and Rev. Jones of the Hollidaysburg Register
were in town on that day. Cant say where
they held forth, as our "American" neigh
bors refused to associate with them for fear
of having their morals. corrupted.
o:7Because we have exposed the LYING
contents of a Circular issued by the editors
of the Journal, THEY say we have, as Post
Master, "committed an open violation of
duty, one which requires investigation."—
We invite an investigation, Mr. Editors—but
be careful that you confine yourselves to the
truth, or you may find it necessary a second
time to get upon your-knees to save the coun
ty the cost of boarding you on Greenland's
icy mountain.
The Journal "institushun," with fif
teen hundred subscribers (over the left) and
only eleven hundred readers, commenced the
year with a half sheet and ended it with a
half sheet.. A flourishing 4 institushun" that,

Fighting the Isms on his own Book.
T. B. Stevenson, of Kentucky, an influen
tial Whig,' has written a forcible letter, in
which he declares that he shall fight, "on his
own hook," "the amalgamated fanaticism
and treason of Abolitionism and Know Noll-
Ingism." He thus writes of Know-Nothing
ism : . .
"I cannot subscribe to such doctrine or
policy, and until I forget God, renounce the
laws of Moses and Jesus, ignore Republican
ism, repudiate the Constitution, and despise
the policy, peace, prosperity and glory of the
country, I shall not cease to resist them by
whatever appropriate means a good and loyal
citizen may [awfully oppose to such outland
ish heathenism ; for certain it is that such
doctrines could not originate in this land of
civil and religious liberty, but were excogita
ted by the arch enemy of mankind, and first
promulgated in the - dark ages of the uncivili
zed and unchristianized people of some dis
tant lands. It is a burlesque to attempt to
dignify such doctrines with the name of
"American."
DISGRACEFUL—the conduct of the b'hoys,
for a week past. The 'Jug Law' is about as
popular with them as the grogeries used to
be. Have we no borough officers ?
Know-Nothing Consistency
If the total want of all principle which per
vades the Know-Nothing party in Pennsylva
nia, needed any new conformation, it is given
in the votes of our Congressmen for Speaker.
It will be seen on looking over the different
'ballotings, that on many of them every Know-
Nothing. from this State, except Broome,
Miliward and Fuller, voted for N. P. Banks,
of Massachusetts, a notorious abolition free
trader. The Daily News, a K. N. paper of
Philadelphia, gives its brethren a terrible cas
tigation for deserting Fuller and voting for
Banks. It says - of the latter :
"He is one of those men, in the last Con
gress, who united with the Southern Free
Traders, in the attempt to strike down the
coal and iron interests of Pennsylvania, by
engrafting the obnoxions section for that pur
pose on the Civil and Diplomatic Appropria
tion Bill, and which but for the persevering
and active efforts of our Senators, would now
be the law of the land."
Mr. Banks last session was the leader in
the movement to admit railroad iron free of
duty, and went so far as to advocate the re
funding of duties to Railroad Companies
which had already been paid into the Treasu
ry. His recorded votes and speeches prove
this. And yet the Know• Nothing delegation
from Pennsylvania labor to elevate this ene•
my of Pennsylvania's vital interests to the
Speakership of the Congress of the United
States ! Place Mr. Banks in that position,
with the control of the Committees, and his
influence would be exerted with increased
power against our State. The Know-Noth
ings at the North are reduced to a mere abo
lition faction, and Niggerism is nearer their
hearts than our furnaces and rolling mills.—
Itly John R. Edie will defend his vote for
Banks, we are at a loss to comprehend.—
When a candidate in this District, Tariff !
Tariff ! ! Tariff ! ! ! was the burden of his song.
His mournful diatribes on this subject were
listened to by every Know-Nothing Council
in the District, and were often given to the
public. Representing the Iron District, how
can he vote for a free trader' His consti
tuents are anxious to h.lar from Mr. Edie on
this subject.—Johnstown Echo.
Christianity anQ Know-Nothingism
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7, 1855.
To the Editors of the Washington Union:
To the unconverted portion of anti-know
nothings it is a mystery how Christians—
true Christians—men possessing love toward
God, and charity, in accordance with the
commandments, towards all mankind—can
become know-nothings. It is true, that
many men who make considerable preten
tious display of their Evangelism undertake
to explain how completely reconcilable their
warfare is against the Romish Church' with
the plain teachings of Christ and his Apos
tles; but they invariably fail to impress any
with the soundness of their reasoning, save
those who areas bigoted as themselves, and
who believe with them. Much less can I
see how a tree Presbyterian can become a
member of the dark-lantern and midnight
party, if he possesses the first shade of fealty
to the confession of faith of the Presbyterian
Church.
The following extracts are from the .pub
lished creed of that large and flourishing de
nomination of Christians in the United States
whose prosperity is, doubtless, deducible from
the charitable and Christian tone of its doctri
nal faith as promulgated. What we quote I
have found in . the book of the Presbyterian
"Confession of Faith" and "Constitution of
the Presbyterian Church, as amended in
1833, front 1821." It wily be seen that, up
on all poiniVwherc precision is essential, it is
explicit, and in no particular gives large
margin for construction. Aad what makes
the authority better is, that, with every point
laid down, the Bible is appealed to, by notes,
as the basis of its foundation—See pages 127,
128, 129, and 130:
Constitution of the Presbyterian Ciao ch, as
amended in 1833, from 1821
H. It is lawful for Christians to accept and
execute the office of a magistrate when call
ed thereunto; in the managing whereof, as
they ought especially to maintain piety,
justice, and peace, according to the whole
some laws of Commonwealth, so, for that end
they may lawfully, each now under the New
Testament, wage war upon just and necessa
ry occasions.
111. Civil magistrates may not assume to
themselves the administration of the word and
sacraments; or the power of the keys of the
kingdom of Heaven; or, in the least, interfere
in matters of faith. Yet, as nursing fathers,
it is the duty of civil magistrates to protect
the church of our common, Lord, without giv
ing the preference to any denomination of
Christians above the rest, in such a manner
that all ecclesiastical persons whatever shall
enjoy the full, free, and unquestioned liberty
of discharging every part of their sacred func
tions without violence or danger. And as
Jesus Christ hath, appointed a regular govern
ment and discipline in his church, no law of
any Commonwealth should interfere with, let,
or hinder the due exercise thereof among the
voluntary members of ANY denomination of
Christians, according to their Own profession
and belief. It is the duty of civil magistra
tes to protect the person and good name of
all their people in such an effectual manner
as that no person,be suffered, either upon pre
tence of religion or infidelity to offer any in
dignity, violence, abuse, or injury to any
other person whatsoever; and to take order
that all religious and ecclesiastical assemblies
be held without molestation or disturbance.
IV. It is the duty of the people to pray for
magistrates, to honor their persons, to pay
them tribute and other dues,- to obey their
lawful commandi, and to be subject to their
authority, for conscience sake. Infidelity or
indifference in religion cloth not make void the
magistrate's just and ledal authority, nor free
the people 'from their due obedience to him;
from which ecclesiastical persons are not ex
empted; much, less hath, the Pope any power or
jurisdiction over them sit their dominions, or
over any of their people; and, least of all, to
deprive them of their dominions or lives, if
he shall judge them to be heretics, or upon any
other pretence whatsoever.
Now, whether this venerable creed has
been changed to suit the times, I know not;
it is to be hoped, however, that this promulg
ed faith of one of the most respectable sects
in the land remains the same—charitable,
Christian—and that those belonging to that
church who have joined the bigoted crusade
against a contemporaneous church—the moth
er of all churches—are only wanderers from
the path laid out by the fathers of that church
"long, long ago,” who may, at no distant
period, return to the path trodden by them.
Respectfully, yours, AN ELDER.
Our Opponents.
The last Valley Spirit says :—With an
overwhelming majority in Congress,, procur
ed by incendiary appeals to the passions of
fanatics in all sections of the Union, ')ut more
particularly in the North-east, our opponents
thus far have been unable to effect an organi
zation of the House. When the Congres
sional elections were pending, the opposition
leaders professed to have but one - object in
view—the repeal of the "iniquitous" meas
ures adopted by the Democratic, Congress and
sanctioned by the Democratic President,—
Their clamor was successful in obtaining for
them a majority in Congress, and what is the
spectacle that is now presented to our view 1
Instead of organizing in all haste and proceed
ing to undo the "iniquities" of the last Con
gressa,,they are fighting for the spoils ! They
consider the offices of greater value than the
Missouri Compromise, else why do they
squabble over the spoils instead of proceeding
to restore that Compromise 1 Tens of thou
sands of dollars have already been squander
ed in this fight of the opposition factions, and
the probability is that the public treasury
will be made to bleed for some time to come.

[COMMUNICATED.)
DEATH OF WILLIAM P. BROWN
A. deep veil of sadness has been thrown
around our community by the news of the death
of WILLIA AI P. BROWN, formerly of this county
—.recently of Grass Valley, California. The
circumstances attending his death are painful
indeed. Mr. BnowN and his partner were en.
gaged in mining on their claim, on Poor Man's
Creek, Saturday Nov. 3d, 1855. bey had min,
dcrmined the bank along the creek, for some
mining purpose, when a large portion of rock
and ground, disengaged itself frem the bank
over their heads, and was suddenly precipitated
upon them, entirely bUrying Mr. BnowN beneath
it and causing instant death. His partner bare
ly escaped with his life. Mr. BitowN's skull
was fractured and his body otherwise mutilated.
His remains were taken to the little town of
Washington in Nevada country and littered in
the Village Grave Yard.
Mr. BROWN, whilst here, was extensively
known as a first class school teacher, and was
eminently successful in that vocation. He ever
manifested a deep interest in the cause of edu
cation, and was an ardent admirer and advo
cate of the Common School System. He was
one of the number of teachers, who assembled
in -Huntingdon ,in the winter f '52 to organize I
and hold the first Teacher's Institute ever held
in Huntingdon county, and was an active and
distinguished member of that body. Mr. BROWN
was esteemed and beloved by all who knew him.
His honesty and integrity of character, were
proverbial. He left the home of his childhood
fOr California, April I.st, 1853, and up to the
time of his death, was actively and variously
employed—first as the proprietor of a book
store in Grass Valley—next as a co.editor ofthe
Grass Valley Telegraph—and more recently in
mining. From the testimony of several indi
viduals in Grass Valley and vicinity, it would
appear, that amidst all the allurements and
temptations to vice and dishonesty, incident to
life in California. be preserved his integrity,
unshaken, and that his intelligence and noble
bearing had drawn around him many friends in
his new home. Above all we have .most ample
testimony that he was truly a christian—a
meek and lowly follower of Jesus.
The following is an extract from a latter of J.
Curry Foster, of Grass Valley, formerly of this
county, and an intimate friend of the deceased:
"I was up to see him about 20th of October. I
remained three days with him. I found him
more than usually solemn and religiously in
clined. He spoke much about home, and of his
dear mother whom he was very desirous to see
—and more especially was lie solemn on the
evening preceding his death, While in con
versation with a friend, he spoke of the uncer.
tainty of life and the necessity of a preparation
for death, and also repeated the Dirge of Croly:
"Earth to earth and dust to dust," &c. He had
lived almost the whole summer alone—he told
me he onjoyed it much. He spent all his leisure
in reading his Bible, and other good books. I
can bear witness that all his business transac
tions, conversations and acts were those of a
christian—and though called away suddenly,
we have every reason to hope all is well with
him.. I - deeply deplore his loss- He was my
first friend in Grass Valley and beat while liv.
ing. M "
r. BnowN had intended returning home
sometime during the approaching summer. His
loss here will be deeply felt, and his influence
and memory will long survive him. Though
he died in a foreign land—far from the scenes of
his childhood, with no mother, or brothers, or
sisters, or'familiar friends of his early years to
pay the last mournful rites of sepulture—
though- he was buried by the hand of the stran
ger—and his grave is made far away,_ 'midst
the Siera Novadas,
"He sleeps well !
0 sirs the good die first,
"While those whose hearts are dry as summer's
dust,
"Burn to the socket !"
