War. A. PORTER, ESQ.—In common with
our citizens generally we were gratified at
the nomination of the above named gentleman
to the important office of City Solicitor by the
late Democratic Convention in Philadelphia.
Mr. Porter is a native of our town, and al
though leaving it while still quite young, yet
he was old enough to give fair promise of the
usefulness and eminence that would signalize
his future life. The expectations then formed
by his friends have been fully realized. His
progress has been marked by that regular and
steady advance that never loses a position
once attained and that is the only certain and
safe road to greatness. A firm and uncom
promising Democrat—a man of eminent abil
ity and sterling integrity, the citizens of Phil
adelphia could not do better than commit
their important legal trusts - le his hands.
13:7'The barns and out-buildings of the Lan..
caster county poor house, together with 36
head of cattle, of which 24 were valuable
cows; four valuable horses, and a large quan
tity of grain, were destroyed by Ere on Thurs
day morning last. It was the work of an in
cendiary. Loss ssooo—no insurance.
A bigoted and clanish writer not very
far distant, with a grand flourish, declares u s
an " invincible ignoramus" because we as
serted that the Franciscan Brothers of Cam
bria county were Laymen. Now, we leave
it to said writer, who asserts that there are
clergymen belonging to said Order of Brothers,
to prove it; and unless he does, the language
he applied to us will fall upon himself with
alvra. art' ruin'. I,urne-mangi
now, and let as have proof that Clergymen
do belong to the Third Order of Franciscan
Brothers. Do it, ye "invincible ignoramus.'
MODERN SCRIPTURE INJUNCTIONS.—"Go
ye" into Kansas, and preach the Gospel ac
cording to Garrison. Let your loins be girt
with the New York Tribune; put on the hel
met of abolition, the breast-plate of know
nothingism, the bowie-knife of Arkansas,
and a Sharpe's rifle—and preach disunion to
every creature.
THE RIFLE COLLECTION IN NEW HAVEN.-
in new Haven, Connecticut, a few Sandays
since, a collection of rifles was taken up un
der the auspices of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
Rev. Mr. Dutton, and Professor Silliman.—
On Monday last a collection of ballots was
taken up in the same city, under the auspices
of the democratic party, which resulted, for
the first time in twenty-one years, in the elec
tion of the democratic candidate for the State
senate. Nobly, triumphantly, have the peo
ple decided between Beecher and the Bible-:
Sharpe's rifles and the ballot-box !
[)The ex-Reverend Keys is anxious to be
come still more notorious as a moral outlaw.
He covets a particular notice at our hands-:
he shall have it.
The citizens of our town will recollect his
advent here as a Know-Nothing lecturer and
a vender of bawdy books. They will recol
lect, too , that after the most vigilant exertions
to procure a white tnan to serve as agent for
the sale of his books, he failed to procure such
an assistant, and finally flourished cheek by
jowl with a negro in that capacity, until the
latter became disgusted and threw up his
agency,
To show his character still further, we in
vite attention to the following attack in his
last paper on the Rev. ISAIAH POTTER, said
to be a most estimable man—a clergyman in
high standing in the United Brethren church,
who, like Bishop Glossbrenner,thinking Keys'
conduct "tat) scandalous to investigate," uni
ted with the Bishop' in throwing him over
board. Read the extract, and you can come
to but one conclusion in regard to the man
who is incessantly attacking the personal
characters of gentlemen whose boots he is
scarcely fit to black :
As to Isaiah Potter, the game would not be
worth the ammunition—couldn't find him with
out the aid of a candle, and when found, his
hide would not ply for the grease and cotton
consumed in the search. * * *
Two years in ai.y place, is all that is neces
sary to render the pigmy giant perfectly harm
less. Two years of acquaintance—and the man
with a seesaw-dodging-forward walk, sharp face,
green eyes, wind-splitting nose and monkeyfied
dignity—becomes as hurtless as a dead skunk
—producing nothing more than an offensive
smell. ".
Determined to prove himself an outlaw, he
should be treated as such, and spit upon and
spurned by every honorable man whose path
he may cross.
The Fathers were not K.now-Nothings.
William Penn, and the that settled of the
Province of Pennsylvania, in the year 1682,
before they left 'England, agreed upon this as
a fundamental law ; that " every inhabitant
in the said province, that pays scot and lot to
the government shall be deemed and account
ed a freeman of the said province; and every
such person shall'and may be capable of elect
ing or being elected representatives of the
people in Provincial Council or General As
sembly.
They also agreed, at the same time, that
"all persons living in the province, who con
fess and acknowledge God, and that told
themselves obliged in conscience to live peace
ably and justly in civil society, shall in no
way be molested or prejudiced for their reli
gious persuasion or practice in matters of
faith and worship."
The Evening Argus says that in the year
1683, at Philadelphia, William Penn, in the
third year of his Government, under • his
" band and broad seal," published what is
calle \ d \s " A Frame of the Government of the
Province of Pennsylvania" and a "Charter
of Liberties." In the twenty-first article
thereof, he " gives and grants" that if any
alien shall die before he can well be natural
ized, his property shall descend as free and
amply as if he had been naturalized. Ile
makes this provision, he declares, "for the
satisfaction and encouragement of all aliens"
—in other words, to promote immigration
and naturalization. This "encouragement"
to aliens was expressly, in the same words
re-passed under Governor Markham in 1696;
The re-enacting Instrument also provided
that any "Inhabitant of this Province," who)
( with other qualifications of no account in this
connection) had " been resident within this
Government for the space of two years,"
should have the right of "electing or being
elected" to office.
With this policy of encouragement of aliens
and speedy naturalization, the infant Province
has grown into the great Keystone State.—
Did our benevolent Founder ever dream, that
when his City and his State became so grand
and mighty, as to exceed all his serene vis
ions, that, in the day of power and safety,
any Philadelphian or Pennsylvanian would
fall into a booby terror of these same "aliens,"
and try to bolster his fears with religious in
tolerance, and a Chinese exclusiveness 1 By
all the common sense that ever dawned upon
the commonest mind, if Immigration did not
harm our experimental Infancy, how can it
hurt our established Manhood 'I The broad
brim and benign liberality of old Father Penn,
so wise in its conception, and so glorious in
its results, palpably opposes and rebukes the
stupendous stupidity
Know
modern Know -Noth
ingrsm. The Know Nothings often talk
about " the Fathers." Just as a peacock
spreads an overwhelming tail, the Know-No
things used to dub themselves " Sons of the
Sires of '76." This Loo Choo title was far
more alliterative than truthful. The "Sires
of '76" were too brave to get scared at any
foreigners, too big-hearted to refuse welcome
to the poor travellers that sought refuge, rest,
and happiness on this Continent, too generous
ly proud of their institutions-and their liber
ties to grudge them to adopted citizens, too
thoroughly imbued with the spirit of right
and equality to allow any religious proscrip
tion.
Fancy the majestic form of George Wash
ington, about twelve o'clock at night, skulk
ing and jirking into a Know-Nothing Lodge !
Fancy old Anthony Wayne dodging home
from an " initiation," and diving below the
suspicions of some questioner, by puckering
up his martial mouth, and smoothly asserting
that he CC don't know" anything of an Order
called Know- , Nothings ! Fancy stern old
Samuel Adams, and rough Dan Morgan, and
bluff Israel Putnam, twisting their fingers
into crooks, and sticking them into their but
ton holes, and thus acting like the deaf and
dumb, instead of speaking right out like men !
Fancy elegant John Hancock, and chivalrous
Edward Randolph, and fiery Patrick Henry,
with pointed digits, mumbling over some
prosy oath, recited for them by some nasal
Uriah Heap of a fugleman ! Fancy Alexander
Hamilton and James Madison, with folded
hands meekly listening to the precious initi
atory disquisitions about "Popery" and
" Furriners," doled out by soma wiseacre of
an Instructor ! Fancy Thomas Jefferson or
ganizing Know-Nothing Councils to kill off
General Lafayette or Charles Carroll ! Fancy
some officious satellite spooking Henry Clay
or Andrew Jackson, around corners, and
through allleys, and up dark stairs, into a
Hindoo Council, and offering to swear them,
on a cross and Bible, to proscribe Irishmen
and Catholics ! Shades of departed worth
and patriotism, forgive us the bare imagina
tion of such preposterous anachronism !
As MIGHT HAVE BEEN EXPECTED. —A Rev.
Mr. Sparry, who has been lecturing against
"the Pope" in this city, (says the New Ha
ven Register ; ) and who desecrated the Sab
bath by noisy and lying political harangues,
left town suddenly between Sunday night
and Monday morning, without waking up
the landlord. Just as might have been ex
ected of such a fellow.
( -- Like the Reverend blackguard of the
Tyrone Era, who was lately ex-communica
ted from the United Brethren church without
a hearing, on the ground affirmed by Bishop
Glossbrenner, that "his conduct was too scan
dalous to be investicrated." Whether he left
Lancaster county be c tween two days, we are
not informed, but as he has in the excess of
his impudence, which "comes of ignorance,"
extended ns his charity, we will suggest to
him the
. propriety of withdrawing it and ex
tending it to his numerous acquaintances in
that county who are inquiring pf his where
abouts.

The Old-Line Whigs.
The noble, patriotic stand taken at the
present political crisis by so many, of the
most distinguished and influential members
of the old-line Whig party ha's not only -cal
led forth the warmest expressions of admira
tion and respect from the Democratic press,
but it has inspired throughout the Union a
feeling of confidence in their love of country
and abiding devotion to its true interests
which cannot fora moment be weakened by
a recollection of past differences- of'tpinion
is regard to the merits of men or the-expedi
ency of measures. As an evidence , =of this
state of feeling, we make room for the -sub
joined resolution, which was unanithously
adopted at a large and erthusiastic fteriniorat
in meeting held in Lawrence county tGeo. )
on the Ist of March last :
Resolved, That the old-line Whigs of Law
rence county, who are actuated with the same
principles of Stephens and Toombs of Geor
gia, Jones of Tennessee, Dixon of Kentucky,
James B. Clay, son of the immortal' Henry
Clay, and a host of other old-line Whigs' and
who, like those patriots, step upon the great
Democratic platform and make war
. upon
Know Nothingism, be invited to participate
in this and all other Democratic Conventions
held in the county, and that we recognize
them as brother laborers in the great cause of
human rights."
The whole country are largely indebted to
Hon. Samuel Caruthers, of Missouri, - an old
line Whig formerly, but now by profession
and practice a Democrat, for the bold, elo
fquent, and unanswerable letter addressed by

Know-Nothincr questions. It has been os
tensively read and sought after in the South
as well as in the North, and our Democratic
cotemporaries are warm in their commenda
tions of its rare merits. The Fedeial Union,
published at Milledgeville, Georgia, says:—
" We feel a peculiar pleasure and pride in
publishing the bold, able and eloquent letter
of Hon. S. Caruthers, of Missouri, to his 'con
stituents, defending his acts and votes in
Congress against th attacks of certain per--
sons in that State formerly Whig, now Know-
Nothing. Read it, Georgians—Southerners';
whether your fortunes and affections have
been linked with the Democratic or the Whig
party in the past, you will find in it much to
aid and confirm present convictions. How
grateful to Democrats to see the flower and
chivalry from the ranks of their late political
antagonists testifying to the conseivatism and
nationality of their principles and r4tices—
how the fires of patriotism and honor - glow
and burn in the bosoms of these stern 'defen
ders of the right against all the •pleasant
memories and hallowed associations of• the
past ! Where is the Democrat in the broad
sunny South that does not feel honored by
the association of such rising statesmen and
patriots as Caruthers and Oliver, Missouri ;
Preston, of Kentucky ; Benjamin, of Louisi
ana; Kerr, of North Carolina; Toombs and
Stephens, of Goorgia We confess that our
confidence in the correctness of our princi
ples, and their unprecedented triumph in the
approaching struggle, is' greatly strengthen-•
ed by the assurance that these puarerful lead
ers of the old Whig army will co-operate with
us in the fortunes of the day."—Washingt on

The Pregent Session of Congress.7--An
Example of Anti-Democratic lt,nle.
Four lone months have passed away - since
the present Congress convened at Washing
ton. Sufficient time has elapsed, had it been
improved, to have about despatched lhe ne
cessary business of the session, and to ;have
been ready for an adjournment. The oppo
nents of the democracy have a preponderance
of two to one in the more popular branch,
and were abundantly able to put everything
through that House had they possessed the
disposition so to do. They were pledged in
the most solemn manner to the introduction
of some great reforms, and their partisans
confidently expected them at their hands ;
but they have literally done nothing towards
carrying them out. Indeed, they have trans
acted no business whatever of any character.
It took the allied black republicans and know
nothings, who together counted one hundred
and fifty-odd members out of the two hun
dred and thirty, nine weeks to perfect an or
aanization—a matter which is generally t.dis
posed of in three days; but, so far as useful
measures of legislation are concerned, it
would have been quite as well if the House
had not organized until this time.
The idle balloting in which it was engaged
was fully as profitable as the trashy and un
necessary political discussions that,have-en
sued since upon the negro question. In its
culpable disregard of the public interest,
its wanton consumption of time and money,
the present Congress has gained unparalleled
renown in our political history. It hati very
far surpassed all its predecessors in those re
spects. Most clearly and satisfactorily have
the opposition demonstrated their utter inca
pacity to administer the affairs of this great,
nation. Without• nationality—split up into
embittered and sectional factions, who think.
more of the interests of three millions of ne
groes than they do of twenty-four millions of
whites- - -destitute of any particular platform
of public , policy-4h°. opposition has broken
down by its o'wn weight and the mere force
of circumstances which it could not sur
mount. -Its ascendency in- the House is a
calamity to the country, for, while it is pow
erless for good, the narrow, sectional aims of
a large proportion of its members, and their
bigotry, passion, and prejudice in legislation,
are extremely injurious to its interests. '
In one respect good may arise out of the
fusion ascendency in the House. It will
serve as a warning, by its incompetency and
imbecility, towards intrusting the factions
intrusting the factions which elected it with
the other departments of the government.--
The people have seen the utter heartlessness
and insincerity of the black-republican and
know-nothing professions of reform, and they
will act upon that principle in future. We
are pretty sure that it will be a long time be
fore a House of a similar political complexion
assembles at the seat of government.
The Self-Styled State of Kansas.
There are givings-out by some of the news
caterers that the Black Republicans propose
to shift the issue on the slavery question
once more. Having the control of the Com
mittee on Territories in the House, the plan
is said to be to have a bill reported from that
committee for the immediate admission of
Kansas as a state with the constitution lately
adopted by the revolutionary party, and on
this question to go into the presidential elec
tion. This will be only an apparent shifting
of the issue. It is an appeal to Congress to
sanction a proceeding not only without law,
but directly against law. To admit Kansas
as a State under the circumstances will be to
decide that a party consisting of only a por
tion of a political community may organize
to resist /he constituted authorities, and, in
defiance of the laws of the Territory, may
claim to have their illegal proceedings sanc
tioned by' admission- into the Union as a
State.
It will be observed that the claim for ad
mission involves either an opon rebellion
against the government provided for the Ter
ritory by Congress, or that the government
so provided, and the laws passed by it, are
absolutely null and void. To admit the self
styled State on the first.ground is to sanction
rebellion. To admit it on the second ground
is to concede that a part of a community may
assume to nullify its government and its laws,
and upon that assumption found a valid claim
to a place in the Union as a State.. The prop
osition to admit Kansas now made is without
precedent and against law. If the Black Re
publicans choose to stand upon this issue they
will find the Democracy as firmly united for
their overthrow as on any other phase of the
Kansas question that they may adopt. Kan
sas can never be a State except in accordance
with law, and with a constitution fairly adop t ,
ted by a vote of all the inhabitants of the Ter
ritory.
It will be fully developed in the future dire
cussion of the subject that the Black Repub
licans are now seeking to appropriate for
their objects the doctrine of popular sover
eignty in Kansas, against which they have
Warred until the evidences show that further
resistance is fruitless. Hence it is that with
more of adroitness than honesty they desire
to make this doctrine available in securing
the immediate admission of Kansas as a State.
Their effort is a fraud upon the real principle
or paperer sovereignty , n is - an attempt to
substitute for it a disreg ard for law and order,
and, under the pretext o carrying out the pop
ular will, to consummate a scheme to resist
successfully the constituted authorities. The
principle of constitutional popular sovereign
ty recognizes and sanctions no such resort to
rebellion, but acts in strict conformity with
the government provided by Congress for
the Territory. this false 'principle of popu
lar sovereignty which is now sought to be
enforced is no better than mob law or rebel
lion, or treason, as the case may be. It bears
the same relation to true popular sovereignty
that Pharisaism does to genuine religion—as
counterfeit to genuine coin.—Washington

SOME OF THE EFFECTS OF KNOW-NOTHING
RIOTS AND MURDERS.—The Louisville Dem
ocrat says that that city is in a happy condi
tion
; that "she is out of funds, has no fire
department, no work to do, property ready
for sale, but no bidders; plenty of room in
vacant houses, with but few to occupy them.
Multitudes of the foreign horde are gone ; and
know-nothings gone after them, finding no
work to do here."
