HEEtAID AND EXPOSHOR
GOV. POLLOCK'S LECTURE.
Gov Pollock- delivered the opening lecture
before the Young Men's Christian Association,
of Lancaster, about three weeks . since. His
subject was the "Known and the Unknown in
relation to each other, and to man as a physi
cal, intellectual and moral being." A Lancas
ter paper says that the lecture was " one of
those beautifully complete extempore efforts,
to which the abstract reporter can rarely do
justice." We copy a brief extract :
In contemplating the .wonders of creation,
cm revealed by revelation and science, but one
sentiment should fill our hearts—reverence
'for their Author. We know, anti knowing,
desire to know—for the mind of unto in its
insatiable thirst for knowledge, is never satis
tied ; it is ever progressive ; has no stopping
place in time or eternity—all this proves that
the soul is immortal. Shall •it he said that
Otis exalted desire fur knowledge must perish
—the mitul with the body ? Oh, no The
soul shall live. There is a Goo. llow chill
ed and blighted the heart that d o ubt~ it , All
things around and within us atiest this divine
truth. To know ourselves is to know this.
Then our duty is plain. In our pursuit of
knowledge in the fields of science and litera
ture, let us not forget that higher knowledge
which purifies the heart and sanctifies the
soul.
The book of nature has been opened before
us this evening ; but I would not be true to
myself and those whom I address, did I not
point you to that other Book. The question
was asked of old, and is still asked, What is
truth ? and where can truth be found'.'—
Turn from nature and open the Bible. Truth
can there be found—an emanation from the
living God—there truth is revealed in letters
of living light—there can wan his duty learn.
The speaker concluded by enjoining the.
young men of the Christian Asso,:intion to go
on in the work so auspiciously begun. How
many young men in entering nur large cities
—having lult behind a beloved father and
mother—out upon the open world, without
the compass of their affectionate counsel to
guide them through the shoals of life—have
fallen into the snares of the tempter, which
beset them on every hand, and are lust to
themselves and to society. To " seek and to
save the lust" is the holy mission - of the gos
pel ; but let your aim be to rescue from. dan
ger. ~ .Say not, in the language of guilty
selfishness, " Atn,l my brother's keeper I"'
Be as brothers one to another—act well the
part-otthe good Samaritan. Call to remem
brance, in the mind of wayward " strangers in
a strange land,' the happy scenes of.childhood
—the mother's kiss, the mother's knee, and
the childish prayer they learned to lisp in
confiding accents; with that wart out-gush
ing of a mother's heart, 'God bless my child!'
Hard indeed will you find the heart that Can
not be reached and softened by moral pOten
cies powerful as these.
To encourage you in this noble mission I
am here to-night—having risen from the couch•
of sickness but a week ago—and um illy pre
pared to address an audience like this ; but of
one thing let me assure you, that I am ever
with you, in heart and soul, in all efforts to
promote the literary, social, and moral inter
estests of my fellow•citizens and of the whole
family of man ; and while we devote our ener
gies to these all important interests of time,
let us ever remember that there is within our
reach a " rest which recimineth for the people
of God."
PRESIDENTIAL MOVEMENTS.—Movements
are on foot in various quarters, among the
Democrats. for the Presidency. The friends
"of Mr. Dallas are pushing him; the friends of
Mr. Buchanan are urging him—and last of all
Mr. Wise of Virginia is on the track. In re
lation to the subject Mr. Viso writes :"
can say on the subject, that I mean to
keep the even tenor of my way, without fear,
favor or affection. If the Democracy would
be guided by me, I can find one hundred men
whom I prefer for the presidency to myself.
I can two at least in Virginia Ono you know
of very well. But if the Democracy can again
succeed, and cannot unite upon a better man
than 'I am, and they will unite upon me, I can
only say that will a /a mode Jackson, fervent
1Y and effeettially rule blank republicanism ;
I will rule them ! but the idea of ruling or not
ruling them shall not turn me a hair's breadth
from my own convictions as to ghat- my duty
requires , ris a patriot. I will write, speak, act
as I think right, and leave tho conseauences
to God and the 'country,' without thinking of
the PreSidency.'
There's temptation for you! Pierce's nose
is outof joint for good, and neither Buchanan
nor Doges can shine in the presence of this
Virginia luminary. Ho , 'will rule them.' to
the heart's content of his brother slave breed
ers' and their Northern servitors. Enough
said, Make way-for Gov. Viso, tho Democrat-.
to candidate for, President! .

VEIE\ESDAY, NOVINBER 21 3 1285.5.
FOOD FOR Powomt,-7--in our last hatch of
foreign news we gave aodecree. just issued by
the Emperor of Russia, authorizing a new levy
of troops; in the ratio of ten men to every one
thousand souls. This, with the previous lev
ies made during the past two years of the war,
will, it is stated, make an aggregate of fifty
three men levied to every one thousand souls
in Russia, or about two and a half per cent. of
the entire adult population, male and female.
According to the N, Y. Tribune, the average
levy in time of peace is about five men for every
one thousand souls for one half the empire,
the other half furnishing recruits the nextyear
These figures serve to show the gigantic na
ture of the struggle in which Russia is en
gaged. France has also suffered frdn the
seine absorption of her able bodied male pop
ulation, but there is not so much of an evil as
in Russia, in consequence of the redundance of
the French population, Still, as the main
source of supply for the ranks of the allied ar
mies is Freneli,the prolongationor the war must
gradually' convert it into a great drain of the
French as well as of the Russians. Great
Britain, though having the same redundance
of population as France, has in this war, as in
:ill preceding ones, let her continental allies
feed the amities, while the burilien tolls with
comparative lightness upon her own people.
If her game were to play off one of her conti
nental rivals against another, in order to ex
haust both, she could not pursue it with more
Ares% dness than she has done. 'Thus, in the
two years of the pending war, Russia has ab
sorbed into her armies eight hundred and six
ty thousand men, and France into her's three
hundred thousand, while Great Britain has
probably absorbed about fifty thousand.
THE ORDINANCE OF 'B7.—"An inquirer'
wants to know just what is 'the Ordinance of
'B7,' of which he hears so much, in the journ
als.
The Ordinance of 'B7 was an act pnsssd by
the's - last Continental Congress under the old
Confederation for the government of the 'Ter
ritory north west of Ohio'—that is of all the
territory then belonging to the Confederation
In that ordinance the proviso that Slavery or
involuntary servitude, except for crime, should
never be allowed in the Territory, was the
'first time enacted, though it had been drafted
by Thomas Jefferson three years before, That
proviso saved what is now Ohio, Indiana, Illi
nois, Michigan and Wisconsin from the curse
of slave holding—saved them in spite of a pe
tition from all the authorities of Ilniionn ter
ritory (including what is now IllinmAito be dl v
lowed to legalize slavbholding for ti term of,
yenrA owing to the scarcity of labor: - Tlit4e
tition Congress, on the report of a committee
composed of two slave holders out of three,
unanimously refused to grant, leaving them
to get along as well as they could with Free
Labor alone. Such was Topular Sovreignty'
fifty years ago—the sovreignty of the whole
American people over what vitally concerns
them all, and their posterity after them.
A LOVER'S PUBLIC APPEAL—When Sally
Larrabee rends the following, which we find
as an. advertisements in the North Adams
(Mass.) Transcript, we hope she will "conic
along." If not she deserves to die an old
maid; NOTICE.—SaIIy Larrabee can have on
interview with the subscriber by writing to
him where she may be found, or coming to
his residence at Timothy Walters' in Whiting
ham, Vermont, one and a half mile from Jack
sonville. ,I have been at a good deal of
trouble to find her, and have got almost tired
of it, and as I had a good many chances to
get married, and want to got married as anon
as swing opens, I hope she will take no of
fence if I should be obliged to give up the
chase, and have some one else. I should be
very happy to have her come over as quick as
she could, as I cannot bear the thought of for.
getting her forever, and can never love any
body else as well no I do her.„
- DANIEL WAITERS.
STRANGE DEW ELOPESIENT.-A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette writes from Pittsburg
that, when the case of Passmore Williamson
was argued, last summer, at Bedford, on the
motion to bring Williamson out on a writ of
habeas corpus, three of the Judges (Messrs.
Lowrie, Woodward and Knox) were in favor
of granting the writ, and two (Messrs. Black
and Levels) opposed to it. ' When the Court
re assembled in Philadelphia, Judge Kane and
his.frionds had an interview with our.Jtidges,
and communicated to them the fact that the
President had ordered the United States Mar
shal, in case the . Court should direct the writ
to issue, to remove . Williamson from Moya
mousing to the United,States. receiving ship,
and defend him there, with United• States
marines 'and soldiers, against any force the
State might send to takelim. 'The question'
presented to our 4udges.was, whether it WM
prudent to risk the threatened collision ? I
am sorry,to say they thought it, was not,—
They had not the nerve to stand up for State
Rights. Judges Lowrie and Woodward chang- .
ed their opinions, and the.writ of habeas corpses,
was not issued. The. threat—for it was a
throat—should have been an' incentive to its
instekd of the pusillanimous course
adopted; for the question of. State Rights has
got to be settled, .and this was the opportunity
ho needed." •

PROPERTY AND SCANDAL—The New Yon.
Evening Poet notices, a suit involving property
and scandal in the Roman Catholic Church,
which is now before J. M. Van Colt, Referee :
This suit, as novel in its character us it is
important, is brought by the widow of one
,Charles Smith, a Catholic priest, deceased in
1851, to recover her dower in certain lauds
conveyed by her husband, in the alienation of
Which she did not join him. The lands in
question consist of two lots in Jay street,
Brooklyn, now valued at $lO,OOO, of which in
1848 Charles Smith was seized, and which in
the same year ho conveyed in fee to Arch•
bishop llughes,for the sum of $l6OO. They
are opposite - St. James' Church, of which
Smith was the pastor, and the defendant
Laughlin, who is the Roman Catholic bishop
of Brooklyn, is now in possession of the pro
perty as tenant. The plaintiff claims to Intro
been the wife of Charles Smith at the time of
the conveyance of the property, and for many
years previous, and to have lout two children
by him. who are both living The defendant
denies that the plantiff was the wife of Smith,
and sets up that the property was purchased,
held and conveyed by. him in a fiduciary capa
city.
CA It BLOWN OVER ur A II i•IMICA NE. —The
Tribune gives a full account of the accident on
the Batlem Railway, near "Boston Four Cor
ners," on Monday evening in which a hurri
cane turned over a train of four cars They
all rolled down an enbankment some 30 feet
in height, making four complete summersets.
Two men were killed and fifteen men, women
and children injured, some of them seriously,
if not fatally. Only thirty passengers were on
the train, and it appears a wonder that any of
them escaped. This accident is the most re
workable one on record, when we consider the
Cause to which it is ascribed. All reports
agree, that the overturning was enacted
by a gust of wind, and yet it is stated that the
cars weighed from twelve to fifteen tons.
THE WAR OF 1812 —National Con'vention.—
The lion. J. 11 Sutherland, president of the
convention held in 1855„ has issued a call for
the defenders of the country in the war of 1812
who met last January in the city of Washing
ton, to assemble there again on the approach
ing anniversary of the battle of New Orleans,
pursuant to the resolution adopted at their
last session, to which time and place the con
vention adjourned. As many of the delegates
have gone to their last account since the ad•
journment, it is recommended that
. aditional
'delegates tie chosen. Many important propo
sitions will be presented to the consideration
of the convention.
MummkaY.—The people of Valpraiso on the
18th of September, were edified with the spec
tacle of the Romish priesthood blessing a lot
of new locomotives, for a railroad that has just
been completed there ! The iron horses were
profusely sprinkled with holy water by the
good Bishop of Juliopolis. Whether the 'steam
devils' had the manners to return a puff or
two from its chimney, by way of response,
the newspapers have forgotten to mention.
THE RIOTS Is BATH, Me.—Rev. Mr. Mc-
Laughlin, the Catholic priest of Bath Me. has
issued a card to the people of that city in re
gard to the recent disgraceful riot in thafeity,
by which the Catholics were prevented from
laying the corns stone of a new Church. He
says the Catholics of that city throw them
selves, without, reserve on the protection of
their Protestant brethern.' from the violence of
a licentious mob,.composed of hut a few of the
population of the city.
CASE OF CAPTAIN U. P. LEN)i,—The Char
lottsville Jeffersonian publishes a correspon
dence between Captain U P. Levy, one of the
'dropped naval officers, and Secretary Dobbin.
Captain L. remonstrates against the gross in
justice and tyrany of the course pursued a
gainst, him. The Secretary's answer is brief,
informing him that the charges made against
bum- were made prior to his captaincy, and
that since that time the Secretary has not
thought fit to assign him any duty, though ho
had frequently applied - for-the same.
SmittiEss IN Onto.—Several parts of Ohio
are said to be afflicted with sickness unparall
eled in the history of the State. It •is not
confined to particular localities, but appears
to be general—on Oho hills as well as in the
valleys, in towns as well ns in the country.—
In Central'Ohlo, where the chills
,were never
before known, they have •been shaking the
people most cordially.
' A WIIOGtI .FAMILY SWEPT AWAY.—The
Pittsburg Pod tells of a family, consisting of
a husband, . a wife, and throe children, who

STILL LATER FROM EUROPE
WAIL PANIC IN EibLAND).--''
Peace Negotiations Reported.
The steamship Pacific arrived at New York
on•^'fhursday lust, with news from. Europe
seven days later than previous advices\
WAR EXCITEMENT IN ENGLAND.
An extrinrdinary excitement prevailed
throughout England, amounting to almost a
panic, on thO subject of a war with the United
States. The London Times, in a series of ma
'Nous editorials, started 'the subject, which,
exaggerated by he proOincial press; speedily
obtained such dimensions that extras were is
weal announcing that the American Minister
bad demanded his passports. General aston
ishment and • regret were excited by this an
nouncement and energetic protests were made
against the the Government forcing the coun
try into a dangerous war. Our Liverpool ngt.
telegraphed to Mr. Buchanan; who promptly
And courteously sent him the following explicit
contradiction : • ,
NO. 12.
"London, Frifiv Night, Nov. 2, 1855.—1 t
is not true that the American Minister 7 bas de-.
minded his passports from the British Govern.
ment, and there is no foundation for snob a re
port."
Notwithstanding this denial, ari uneasy feel
ing remains upon the public mind.
The intelligence from the Crimea brings no
stirring events. The Allies have returned
from their late advance to their previous po
sitions, and were in expectations of an attack
from the Russians. It is nethertheless, very
unlikely that any further operations will take
place this, season. NO armies are preparing
for the winter. ° Some trilling success have
been gained by the fleets. which have now
sailed towards the Gulf of Perekop. Gee.
Cordington has been appointed to the command
of the BritiA troops in.the Crimea.
A despatch received at St. Petersburg states
that all the liners of the fleet off Kinburn had
proceeded seaward, and that the allies had at
tempted nothing new. Prince Gortschakoff
telegraphed to St. Petersburg, ou Thursday,
that there was no new movement in the Cri
mea. '
RUMORS OF PEACE.
A correspondent of the Cologne Gazette,
writing from Berlin, alludes to rumors of peace,
'but they arc looked upon in diplomatic circles
not only merely because Russia has resorted to
a fresh levy of conscripts, . but bee:-use eveay
- communication from that empire discounten
ances the, belief that Russia will make minces
sins to the demands of the Western Powers.—
On the other hand all the letters from Vienna
dlude to rumors of peace. The corresponce
of the Daily News, declares ihat Russia posi..
:ivaly intimated at both the Courts of the
Courts of the Great German Powers, her will
ingness to Negotiate alone upon the basis of
the four points, and that of the Allies of De
cember 2d. They are disinclined to resume a
diplomatic conierence, although the Western
Powers have at the same time declared that
I that they can only consent to such a step when
there is a sure prospect of attaining a satis
factory result. It is added, that Pursia is
very far from declining the co-opperation of
Prussia.
The Prussian Gazette of October 30th affirms
that this very moment the French Govern•
moot intimates at Vienna its readiness to ne•
gociate with Russia on the basis of the four
points, adding that it was resolved to continue
the war, and recommence Military - operations
next spring, with redoubled energy, should
peace not be ooucluded in the interim.
KANSAS EMIGILANTS.—The Kansas Herald,
published at Lawrence, of October 27th, states
that " seventy-nine wagons, loaded with pion
eers-from lowa and other Western states, pas
sed Kansas city between Sunday and Wednes
day of last week, destined for Nersho."
AN INJUDICIOUS MOVEMENT.—The Pennsyl
vanian, of Monday, contained in its advertis
ing columns a very injudicious and incendiary
appeal, addressed 'To the Irishmen in Pennsyl
vania,' the object of which wits to urge Irish
men in the various counties to form associa
tions, ..with a view to an organization of a
Filltbuster movement direct against Ireland.
The appeal was signed by several, individuals
as Presidents of several Irish clubs now exist
ing in Philadelphia. It was further stated,
that "a National qouvention of Irishmee
would soon be held;k which would .furnish the
local organizations 'all insu notions necessary
fur future operations. The Pennsylvanian, in
an editorial article, condemns the movement,
and very properly adds:
"We deny the _right of Irishmen, Germans,
or any other people of foreign birth, after they
have been naturalized, to organize , nniler any
other name than that of American citizens,
and condemn the policy with our storuest op
position They are in truth and iu fact
American citizens, and any attempt to ignore
the title, places them in a position to be op
posed by citizens of native birth. If they
organize as foreigners, they must expect
Americans to counteract their power by or
ganizations among theincelves."
Theoitract we hate quoted contained the
whelo . gist of the' recent American movement
in this country. The American party waa
ganiied, in ielPlefence, against just such or
ganizations as are here condemned.—Reading
