The Washington Union says, we had
supposed that Know Nothing*" was
one., , e , lt.he exploded humbugs of the
Any ; that condemned, as it has been,
by the American people, its odious doe-
trii,es would never again find an open
advocacy on American soil; and that
the so-called,,,American party, defeated
upon every field and driven from all
its positions, would never attempt a
reorganization of its broken and scat
tered forces. It seems, kiwi/ever, that
we have been mistaken. "The Know
Nothings of Kentucky have actnally
called a convention to meet at Frank
fort, in that State. and some of them,
lit seems, still indulge the delusion that
they have a party. The Louisville
Journal is one of the most hopeful,
in a long article in its issue of the-19th
ult., urges upon the faithful few to put
their heads together at Frankfort and
contrive a way to restore their fallen
fortunes. Among other things, the
Jourual says:
" The Republican party in the North
is in the last stage of decay. Its occu
pation is gone. Its most ardent friends
and supporters are compelled to admit
that in its origin it was the growth
, of a sudden emergency, but it has now
uo platform or distinct creed, and the
necessity for it has passed away.' Its
• demolition as a distinct politics' organ
, izatiou is certain. It will necessarily
be resolved into its original elements,
and the masses who have composed
it will naturally seek affiliations with
the party that presents the platform
of principles which contain the most
t vitality and essential conservatism."
The scheme of the Journal, then, is
to unite the Black Republicans of the
North and the Know Nothings of the
!South into one organization, and therby
form & great conservative Union party.
This is not a now idea, but only an old
one revived. The experiment was tried
three years ago; and for a time suc
ceeded admirably. Abolitionism seized
upon the machinery of Know Nuthing
ism, and through its agency broke
down for a time the Democratic party
at the North and same near breaking
down the government. We• do not
think it can succeed again; for weolinve
too much confidence in the good sense
and patriotism of the people, both
North and South, to suppose that they
; will a second time be led blindfolded by
such men as control the two organiza
tions.
Gov. Packer ea die Kum§ iliatestions.
Some anixety has been manifested by
the pb lic in regard to Gov. Packer's
views on the' Kansas question. The
inaugural, we think, with the Lancas
ter Intelligencer, is explicit upon that
issue: It holds that "when elections
are so frequent, and the right of sat
frago so liberal, as in this country, it is
peculiarly the duty of a good citizen to
obey existing authorities, and even objec
tionable laws, knowing that the former
can . be changed, and the latter modified
and repealed, within a very brief pe
riod." And in alluding to the difficul
ties attending this peculiar ease, the
Governor says " it is to be hoped, that
Congress will make each provisions
for other Territones that the present
difficulty will have no repetition in the
future:"
If we are not mistaken to our con
struction of the above extracts from the
inaugural address, then it is clear that
Gov. Packer takes precisely the same
view of the case, as that taken by Pres
ident Buchanan in his annual message.
They both enjoin the necessity of
obeying " existing authorities, and even
objectionable laws," and, further, they
both recommend that, in facture, such
provision will be made by Congress, for
other Territories, as that the present
difficulties may be avoided; in other
words, that, hereafter, constitutions
formed by conventions in a Territory,
shall be submitted to the people prior
to their tratnission to Congress.
This is the doctrine of the annual mes
sage, and of the inaugural—and it is
also sound Democratic doctrine. But,
so far as Kansas is concerned, both
President and Governor are evidently
in favor oNts admission into the Limon
a~ a sovereign State under existing laws,
and this, too, is tho wish of a large
majority of the people of Pennsylvania.

We him always : been of the opinion
that there Ras move knavery than hoc' s '
eety in the agitation a the slavery
question, 'and particularly that branch
of it which re/ates to Kansas. That
question - hes been seized upon by de- , 1
signing politicians as a meats by which
they can get into and keep themselves
in power, and not through any love or
respect for principle. All the recent
developments on this subject hare been
calculated to strengthen our convictions
in this respect; and we give below an
extract from the Kansas Daily Ledger,
a free State paper, which, it seems tq
us, ought to convince all who have
ever doubted as to the real cause of that
controversy. The Ledger says :
" Siggers is not the great bone
_of,
contention in Kansas, kind those who
cry out most lustily for 'nigger ' oc,' no;
nigger,' hav'nt money enough, as a gen
era! thing, to buy a 'plug of tobacco,
with.' The real bone of contootioa is
power and the spoils; and the poo.•'
ger is made to bond and bow to suit trio '
purposes of these political demagogues,
that they may ride into power and ob
tain some of the spoils—and that's all.l
The free State party nor the pro-slave-,
ry party of Kansas care anything about,
the moral condition of the ruggers, but
they must have a text to prosch from,
and the 'poor nigger' has been proach.l
ed in all his aspects throughout our' ,
land."
And upon the adMission of Xaneas
into the Union under the. Lecomp
ton Constitution, the same paper says :
"Let Congress attend to their own
business, and let us attend to ours. We
have something more to accomplish be
sides the admission of Kaqsas into the
Union. Wo want railroads, telegraphs,
churches, common schools, and a most
of other things of minor importance,
but, paramount to all these, we want
peace."
And again :
" They [the people of Kansas) are
heartily sick and tired of this infernal
nigger agitation ; they have had a sur
feit of it; it injures their business,
blasts their prospects, and keeps up a
continual Let Kansas be ad
mitted into the Union somehow or
other, and with some kind of a consti
tution, that wo may have peace."
These extracts show, what we have
always believed and insisted was the
case, that it is for power and the spoils
that the Republicans of the North, who
have got up and kept alive this contro
versy, are contending ; and that the
people of _Kansas themselves, no matter
what others may say or do, are sick
and tired of agitation, and anxious that
it should be settled in the only way it
can be settled—by the prompt and un
conditional admission of the Territory
as a State under the Lecompton consti
tution.— Washington Union.
wirLet the result of the election in
Kansas on the 4th be what it may, it
can be no triumph of the Topekaites—
the Lanes, Robinsons and their associ
ates, but a positive retluke of their fac
tious designs. The so-called Free State
tiara was in a large measure made np
of men who have never acted with Lane
and Robinson, but have recognized
throughout the Territorial authority,
and repudiated the Topeka Constitu
tion from the beginning. Some of them,
moreover, are Free State Democrats,
and they were all nominated by a Con
vention which bolted from and defied
the leadership and trammels of Black
Republicanism, receiving therefor the
most scurrilous abase from all the Lane
and Robinson journala in the Tetritury.
Many of the candidates were men of
high character, and itelected have ben
elected by Free State Democratic votes
because of their approval of the policy
of the National Administration, and
their condemnation of the Topeka re
bellion. In no case, can Black Republi
canism, in Kansas or out of it, step in
and claim the result a triumph. So far
from it, it is an endorsement of the poli
cy of the Administration by the people
of Kansas—a recognition of the Le
compton Constitution, and the very
act that of all others was necessary to
the settlement of the Kansas difficulty.
For the future of Kansas we have no
fears. She will be as Democratic as is
our own great State of Pannsylyania.
So says the Pennsylvanian.
Decision of tAe Kentucky Court of Ap
peals on the Naturalization Laws.—lt
will be remembered that Judge Goodloe,
of the Fayette Circuit Court, of Ken
tucky, decided in the case of Morgan vs.
Dudley, that naturalization by the State
courts was not valid. The case was
carried up and the Court of Appeals
has reversed the decision. The follow
ing propositions were unanimously de
cided by the west, : lst—A voter may
sue the judges of election for illegally
and corruptly refusing to permit him to
rote. 2d—Natnratization in a State
court in pursuance of the act of Con
gress is valid and confers citizenship.
3d—That the Lexington City Court is
thorized by the act of Congress to
naturalize aliens. 4th—That accord
ing to the constitution of Kentucky a
naturalized citizen having the other
qualifications of a voter is authorized•to
rote as soon as naturalized.
Joe Smith.—lt is suited that the son
of the original Joe Smith, tho prophet,
founder of the Mormons, now resides
at Nativoo. lie is shout 24 years of
age. A correspondent of the St. Louis
Republican is very positive that Joseph
intends to assume the leadership of tho
church next spring, and, as a method
of solving the Mormon problem, sug
gests that oar government should en

The recent difficulty at the College
near Enamitsburg has given rise to ma
ny idle and ridiculous ° rumors. The
main facts, as we have rebtady gather- 1
ed thqm, ate, that the authorities of the
College, having undoubted information
that some immoral and obscene books
were secretly kept and circulated with
in theinstitution, ordorcd,as they have
always done on such occasions, search
to bo made for the offensive books, and
they Were found. This was in accord- .
ance with the rules and usages of the
College frOm the beginning. On the
evening following, some thirty of the
students left the study hall in an im
proper manner, went to the President's'
room, and presented protest, or some
thing of that nature,, in regard to the
search of the day pefore, which ho
treated with very little ceremony, at
the same time tiesuring them that each
one was always welcome to see bin on
businesa-z-that each ono, if he had any
cause of complaint, should state it free
ly, and he would guarantee redress
whenever it was justly asked ; but that
conspiting together was not the way to
attain piny good end,
, and would never
be successful. Ito then bade them to
go q+tly to the study ball, but it
seems that. instead of doing so, they
got together outside. of the building,
and bound themselves to make common
cause With each other. Soon after, at
night prayers, the President addressed
them on the impropriety of their con
duct, and appealed to the better feel
ings oftheir natures, to persuade them
to reflect and obey—again inviting
them, if they had grievances, to pre
sent them. Nono were presented.
On the next afternoon, the leaders in
the affair loft the College, shouting and
cheeril,g, and many (nearly all the stu
dents being at the time in the grounds
in front of the College) joined them,
scarcely knowing what they were a
bout. Before they had gone many
rods, nearly all wished to return, but
three or fear of the leaders urged them
on ; again and again a majority- wished
to retrace their steps, but lacking a due
degree of moral courage, could not re
sist the threats and taunts of those who
had started the difficulty, and hence
' continued with them. Fifty-eight in

The reader of tho message of Acting
Governor Denver to the Territorial
Legislature of Kansas will have observ
ed a paragraph relating to the oxisJ
tence of a most extraordinary organize.
tion in that Territory, similar to that of
the Danites in Utah. lie alleges that
the members are bound by the most
solemn oaths and obligations to resist
the laws, take the lives of their fellow

violence that may be directed by their
leaders; and to the existence of this
band he attributes certain assassina
tions that have been recently perpetra
ted in the Territory. 'tumors to the
same purport have also found their
way into the newspapers, implying a
complete complicity between the dis
turbers of the pose° in Kansas and the
traitors in Utah. A St. Louis paper
of late date mentions the fact as a mat
ter of news, that " Lane wee still em
ployed with his Danites in driving citi
zens out of the Territory."
Similar rumors have already reached
us alleging that a man by the name of
Eldridge, the accredited agent for
the Emigrant 'Aid Society, in Kansas,
is a Mormon. The fact is believed to be
susceptible of proof. If it bo establish
ed, it will show conclusively a connex
ion between the movements in Kansas
and Utah. If Young, through his min
ions in Kansas, had been able to embroil
the pcoblo of that Territory in a civil
war with the general government, he
would have averted the dangers hang
ing over his own head. Perhaps the
necessity of retaining the• Utah expedi
tion in Kansas during the past summer
may have been ere'ated by his agents ;
and, as a consequence, ho was thus en
abled to maintain his power at Great
Salt Lake City a year longer.
One curious fact has been ascertained
in this connexion. Last summer, Brig
ham Young forwarded an express, di
rect from Utah, with extribirdinary
dispatch, through Kansas to Boston.—
Was this to communicate with the Aid
Society ? It is believed, also, that
" bogus " dispatches . concerning the
the condition and progress of the
military expedition against Utah.
which generally reach hero in two or
three days in advance of the more reli
able informatioft, are furnished by this
Mormon agent in Kansas. It is a re
markable circumstance that an account
stating the slaughter of one hundred
and eighty men of the Utah expedition
by the Mormons, should have reached
this city almost simultaneOusly by way
of Oregon and through St. Louis. The
former was known to be derived from
the Mormons themselves, through the
Oregon Indians; the latter must have
come from the. same . source. The re
semblance between Lane's gang and
the Mormon Danites is striking, indeed.
Can it be that the Black Republican
leaders at the North, and in Congress,
have been used by Brigham Young to
protect the treason of the Mormons,
and that, in endeavoring to keep alive
the slavery agitation in Kansas, they
were unwittingly subserving his pur
poses ?
