The editor of the New York Tribune still insists upon the fact that the whig party is no where, notwithstanding the attempts of newspaper and factious office seekers to establish a contrary be lief. The present grcat4dol of whiggery liefore which they are falling, called "Know Nothings," the said distinguished editor persists is a renegade ephemeral and will at most only serve as a hobby on which base aspirant's may ride into office. We must give the great Ireesoiler credit for candor in this. Certainly a more intolerant, an tirepublican and unconstitutional means was never devised or dreamed of in this country, to accom plish the election of men, than that which is dis guised by the aforesaid idle name. We could wish all the citizens of these states, to take our common constitution in their hands, to look over the signers of the Declaration of Inde pendence and with thought and conscience awake, ask themselves, csp we in the spirit of these arti cles and sections and of these men subscribe to the principles promulgated by this sect ? That it is a visionary and fanatical crusade against the spirit of our free government, must be the deduction of any reasonable mind. That it will pass away into merited, ignominious, unpo pularity is equally certain. But if Democrats will shut their eyes to the light and the right, result may ensue which will jar the wheels of harmonious republican government, to an extent that the exertions1 and repentance of years will hardly adjnst them. Be not deceived. Remember the tempter is no Jess distinctive because he comes clad in the habi limcnts of American Natives. A whig is as much whig, once in office, as the Indian who shot our sentinels in the revolutionary war, was an Indian, though wrapped in a hogskin and going on all fours. ONWARD! We must congratulate our friend Traugh of the "Standard" on his laudable efforts to arouse the Democracy of Blair County to an organization That county avrea much to the 'Standard' for the present prospects of our party there, indeed we might say vjilwui much injustice, it owes all to it. We cordially join in urging upon our friends every where la the state to orjunize. Our present excellent representative in the state enata owes his proud position, ad we owe our ood fortune in having such a representation to organization. There are many prts of tl state wmcn are obliged to contend against majorities znucn more disheartening than that which encum bers Blair county. Up and at 'em, little neighbor, Cambria will see you through. Organize in full. A MUSS. The Whig Convention for Huntingdon County met on last Tuesday. Mr. McGuire was re-nominated for Legislature.

An abstract from the principles of the order. When James Pollock, the Whig candidate for Governor of the free and Independent State of Pennsylvania, in the presence of Robert T. Con rad and Sheriff Allen joined the Know-Nothing order on the loth day of June last, at the North east corner of Ninth and Arch streets, he was lec tured in the following terms by the Instructor of the lodge : "My Brother ! "The order which has now received you as a member, may with all propriety be considered a secret organization. "It is so secret in fact, that if yon were placed before a legal tribunal ami there sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, an I nothing but the truth, you could not, for your life, reveal the name, or objects, or the secrets of that, bind of brothers among whom your name now stands enrolled ; and further than this, when you retire from this meeting, you must return to your families and friends as ignorant as when you came, so far as the name of this order is concerned. "In common with ourselves .you 'know nothing,' and let it be your stern resolution through life, to 'know nothing.' "The high and exalted duties which you owe to your God, to your Country, and to yourselves, for the purpose of the preservation of American Liberty, requires that you should observe the oath, which you have this night taken above all other obligation. For the laws of no land are of higher importance to yourselves and your children than is that obligation, which you have just take, to preserve American institutions by the entire and absolute exclusion of all foreigners and of all who are not Protestants, from control or participation in the affairs of your country." To this instruction the candidate, Mr. Pollock, bowed his absent. Mr. Conrad did the same on a previous occasion. Now, what would lie the condition of Mr. rol lick, or of the wise f? head of our city gov ernment, if he should be called into Court to tes tify Against one or more cf that "band of brothers Olwerve there is no qualification to this oath. It must lie olieyed whether the objects b-3 legal or not whether the acts and doings as that "band of brothers" bo in conformity to, or in violation of the law. Is it not a shanilcss outrage that a man should lie at the head of a beautiful and thriv ing city, who thus stands pledged to screen the violators of the law 1 Is it not a worse outrage to attempt to place in the guliernatorial chair of a Commonwealth, whose political, religious and so cial liberty is based upon the most unrestricted principles of tolerance, a time-serving demagogue, who, for the sake of a paltry mess of pottage, would sell his freedom, and pledge himself before God and man to violate the law of the land, and perjure himself in a court of justice 1 Again, we say, Mr. Pollock, if you don't belong to this order, take issue and plead "not guilt-." We stand prepared to convict you before the free men of Pennsylvania. Pennsylv. Argus. &J-The Platform. This is the title of a new democratic campaign paper published at Harris burg by A. B. Hamilton, Esq. We have received the three first numbers, and find its appearance not only creditable, but its editorials sound and racy.

Editors: The concluding stanza of the production of your correspondent "S. C. W.," on the "Little Negro Boy" is well calculated to biing back to our minds the days of early youth, those days of innocence where life was to us a continual gala-day. Yet in those days sometimes a plaj-inate would be suddenly called from our midst, over whose un timely death we would mourn as children only can mourn. Who has not went over the crave of the "noor little boy?" Ofoe such little boy I thought, while reading the production of above alluded to The author is unknown to me, but be he whom he may, never man spoke more truly than he did in the lines : "When Archangel voice shall rouse the world, Troudheads would fain sleep on for age!" Voltaire and his followers taught or pretended to teach that "death is an eternal sleep." This teaching thousands would wish to believe, and so would thousands believe, were it not for that still small voice, continually admonishing them that 'the body alone is not all of man,' within each-bo- dy dwells a spirit are alive from the "Deity, that like its author must live eternally. It is well to know ourselves, and yet, how hard the task ! Our proud natives refuse to look at the dark side of the picture. The bright side is always pleasant to look upon and thus it Is, that poor vain presumptious man, ever grasping at worldly pleasures, runs on in a career of vice, advancing step by step in that career till he will at last brave everything for the gratification of rus passiuns, and literally "rush upon the neck of 1 1 . . denovan.anu ujion tte thick bosses of his buck lers."

I admit the language of "Truth" is bold and explicit enough, but I humbly confess I canuot understand what he is driving at. Docs he mean, that the religious of every denomination are to be deprived of the right of so educating their children, that they may not only understand their privilege as citizens and at the same time be taught their duty to their heavenly father, or how shall they worship God ? I cannot understand the force of his argument will the writer please state whether or not he is willing to enter into a discussion upon moral or religious grounds of the merits of his fa vorite Common School System 1 Let "Truth" answer. JUSTICE. Forthe ''Democrat and Sentinel Messrs. Editors : A description of this part of the old Key stone may not be wholly devoid of interest to your readers. That portion of the West Branch Valley, commonly known as the Mun cy Valley, is about six miles square, the southern part of which is level, then rising abruptly, something like two miles irom the river, are a chain of hills, the soil of which is thin, and does not repay the husbandman very well ; for his time and labour, the most of whom are Germans from the "Fatherland" or their decendaats. But by hard labor, and frugality, they seem to be improving their lands, and adding something to their worldly possessions. The land lying between the hills and the Alleghany mountain, is about the 6amo quality as the land contiguous to your borough, but not quite so uneven. The southern part, bordering on the Susquehanna river, is very fertile, being a sandy loam, adopted to raising all kinds of grain common to the middle states but wheat and corn are the most profit able ; an average crop of the farmer is about 20 bushels per acre, and the latter 50 bushels, but in some particular instances fifty per cent may be added to the average crop. But the wheat crop of the present season will not be more than one fifth of a common crop, owing to injury from the weevil, fly and rust. In deed the wheat crop is so near a failure that nuantitiea of flour are beincr shinned to this place from Baltimore, to supply the home de mand occasioned by the Lumber trade, which is one cf the principal branches of induttry.'in many of the adjoinine districts. The amount of lumber manufactured in this section of the country, and sent to market from this place, and a landing a few miles above, on the canal. is estimated by some of our most intelligent dealers m the article, at about twenty five millions of feet annually, which requires quite a number of operatives in the lumbering bu siness. Many of whom are Yankees hailing from Bangor, Maine, &c. The lumber trade gives quite a healthy tone to business gene rally, as it furnishes a market for produce, gives employment to many and also brings into the country large amounts of cash, which through the operatives, becomes distributed into all the different channels of trade and traffic. There is a large amount of lumber on the wharves at this place, which I do not think, will be materially diminished this sea son, as boating is so much retarded by breaks and jams on the canal, that it will not be ship ped faster than it is delivered here, freights trom this, and neighboring places along the line are very high. The lumber trade must continue good for years to come, for there are forests of Hem lock and no small quantity of Pine in the mountains, and along the streams, within rea sonable hauling distance, that will require time and sharp cutting to exhaust The Sunbury and Kne It.

The uproar and excitement created by the whigs after the Mayor's Election in Philadelphia, have subsided, and men have resumed their reason The "Know-Nothings" like all, other ephe meral factions, have had their dav, and are now regarded among the unprincipled things that were. Democrats feel ashamed to think, that they ever doubted the justice and integril ty of the people, or that they could bo led astray so far as to discard a faithful public servant. The administration of Gov. Bigler has been conscious for the many weighty and important questions that have arisen, and which have been settled in a manner that shows that there is a strong arm at the elm, and per fectly satisfactory to the great mass of the people. In this county the mass of the people appreciate the worth of such a Governor, and in this town alone we can count many votes he will get in October next from persons who never voted for a democratic governor before.

The true effect of any great political move ment is by testing it in all its bearings upon the government and the various social rela tions of life. If in carrying to its fullest ex tent and system of govemamental policy, we find it oppressive in its tendencies upon any respectable class of citizens, our law makers should hesitate and seriously deliberate before they assume a position which in its bearings upon society, may become untenable and bur densome. This has been mot strikingly ex emplified in the recent attempt of some of the subordinate councils of the sons of the sires of '7G," usually known, as "Know-Nothings," to exclude from the rights of full citizenship a large and respectable portion of the inhabit ants of Pennsylvania, who themselves or whose fathers or grandfathers have voluntari ly made this the land of their abode. What would the true friends of our free and liberal institutions think, if they were told, that a committee of those men who have been discarded from all political power and in fluence by both of the great parties of the State, and who to build up their broken politi cal fortunes have organized a secret order for the purpose of subverting the free character of our government, had waited on the Rev. John W. Mekaskey, late a member of the Philadelphia Bar, and now the devoted, pious and consistent preacher of the Western Me thodist Episcopal Church in this city, and said to him that not having the Know-Nothing re quirements he is no longer considered as a fit person to stand in the high place he does in the church as the teacher of American youth, and must, therefore, resign his post for some one whose grand parents were born on this side of the Atlantic. However absurd such a roqi:-st may seem it is not improbable that if the objects of the Know-Knotliing order are to be carried out, something of the sort may take place, and that the following dialogue will tran.-pire bet ween the Know-Nothing Committee :md the leading t iler of the Western Methodist Epis copal Church. Know Nothing Committee. Wc hnvc called to sec you in relation to the impropriety of keeping at the head of your Church and Sunday School a man whose far ther was not born in this country. Icilhig Elder. Gentlemen, you have taken me ouite by surprise, in the abruptness with which you have introduced the subject of enquiry. I should like to know by what a uthority three persons like yourselves, two of whom I am sure not long since belonged to the gang of lawless depredators known in this section of the city as Schuylkill Rangers, should under case 10 control uie internal anans ot our Church or Sunday School? Know Kothing Committee. That question is easily answered Did we not carry at the late election the whole city of Philadelphia liy the ehiction of Bob Conrad for Mayor who is one of of us ? and lias not the "Sun" said within a few days, that the majority, when they get into power, have a right to control everj-thing. Now, listen' to us, until we explain our whole object and in tention. Our order expressly undertakes to control the institutions of this country, andto dictate terms to both the old great political parties of the State. In an especial manner have we determined to have the management of the education of the children of the land, and although we are free to admit that we never had any education ourselves, yet we are determined to see that the present eeneration are educated according to the notions of our secret order. The very first principle of that order is, that no person, not born iu this coun try and whose father and grand father were not born in this country, shall have any in fluence in our political or literary institutions. Your minister does not come within our re quirements, and whether he be a Whig or Democrat, he must not hold his present posi tion. Leading Elder.. But gentlemen, you are unreasonable. Mr. Mekasket is a most devoted and exemplary christian a meek, bumble and consistent fol lower of the Savior of mankind; our people love him, and are devoted to his interests, and are satisfied that his place- could not lie filled by one more acceptable to the neighborhood. It is true, his father, Andrew Mkkaskey, was not born here, but in the north of Ire land. Nevertheless, he was an able man, a good citizen, a devoted christian, and a pros perous merchant. His uncle, too, the Rev. Jokn Mkkaskey, now residing in Pittsburgh, was also of foreign birth, but where is the man who ever whispered aught against his devotion to American institutions, and his warm desire for the lasting prosperity of this the land of his choice and adoption. Two liet termen were never born in this State, and if one half the dissipated and abandoned crea tures who have become members of your se cret cabal against our good citizens could only show as fair a record as our present pas tor, his son, it would lie well for the iieace of society and the prosperity of this nation. Be sides this matter is not entirely within our contral. The conference which we conscien tiously believe is the constitutional legisla ture of our church ha appointed this rood young man as our cpiritual adviser, and we niu.st as good christian rvsi.vt our disci pline. A'. .A". Cum.mittct. Our order is as powerful as your conference and if your discipline requires you to obey any rule which would send amongst us in a Sun day school, a teacher whose grandfather was not lorn in this country, wc shall adopt some means of eventually checking its evil tenden cies. Your itinerant system at any rate is bad It sends too many of just such foreigners as Mr. Mekaskev amonirst our people, and bv so doing, you are endangering the stability of the Government and by imjdieition setting mc marh. oi approbation upon a set of men whom we are sworn ly the mo.st solemn oaths and obligations to disfranchise. le ading Elder. But, gentlemen, look to what disastrous consequences your order would lead, if we were to consent to your proposition. Wearede.sir ous, many of us, of sustaining the Whi can didate for Governor, and intend voting for him if he be a Whisr, but if it be true that b has joined such an order as you speak of, how can you expect as to give him our support? We have amongst us, manr men who would be excluded under these solemn bindings and oaths of which you tpeak. If Pollock is bound to do .this and disfranchise us, because our grand parents or parents, or even oursel ves, have chosen this as our permanent abode, how can he expect us to vote for him? A". AT. Committee. So far as that is concerned, we do not care for your support. Pollock has in all proba bility become a member of our order, and has subscribed the oaths required in the three de grees which he has. taken, and as such is bound to exclude from all political communion your pastor and all others in his condition and we are satisfied he does not care for your support he eschews all such throughout the state. He will have enough gullible Whigs to elect him, but we will control him after he is elected. Leading Elder. But if -ou apply this doctrine to our pas tor, what will you do with many thousand others who are similarly situated and who are influential and respeeted members of our chu rch and of fiur society, but who have not the "Know Nothing requirements," as you cnll it. Such men, I mean, as Thomas Taskks, of the firm of Tasker & Morris, who was a mc thodist preacher and lorn in England; Rev. William Baknks, also a methodi st preacher, born in Ireland, Rev. Jon.v Caldwell, al.10 born in Ireland, and one of our best local preachers; Rev. Geokok W Baktox, also born in Ireland; Professor M Clintock, of Carlisle College, an Irishman; Rev. Mr. McIIenrv, and a host of others. What would you do with all these? A' A1 Committee. What would we do wilh them ? How can any American ask that? We would do with them just what our order proscribes should be done with them exclude them from all power and influence, and aliovc all things wc will, as soon as we get sufficient power, excommuni cate them as teachers in any of our schools, cither religious or secular. Leading Elder. Well, gentlemen, my answer is most empha tic; your object is a dishonest and sinister one, and for one, I never shall agree to join in any such movement. I am sure you never can suc ceed, and above all, I know you never ought to. . A A'. Committee. As to suerrga, ire do neA. ourneh rs expert to (xist reru Ion a, for here is something so totcer- fvl in the jtrinciples and doctrines of trie l)c mocratic jirty something so sincere and con sistent in its jrnl icy, that tee must acknowledge the people are captivated by its licanties; and permanently UtdtJ reat them, is an utter im possilility, evtu by a secret oath-bovnd order, with all its energies directed against them. Hut ichether successful or not, we tell you if yon do not reject such men as yon hare men tioned, ire icill bring tiairn the anathemas of our order against all irhose sustained them. Phil. Etening Argus. Indignity to the President of the UnitedStatea W ashikgton, Aug. 9. Immediately after the adjournment of the Senate, as the Presi dent of theUnited States was leaving the Capi tol at the northern door, he was followed out and addressed by James Jeffards, of Charles ton, houth Carolina. J effards was considerably intoxicated at the time, and was in company with J. S. Duke, of St. Louis, and J. P. Ilig gins, of New York, all of whom had been drin king. The President shook hands with him, and Jeffards asked the President to take a drink, which he declined, and turned to enter his carriage. As he was doing so, his hat was knocked off by a hard boiled egg, and Jeffards returned into the Capitol, saying the- Presi dent was "a damned fool." The President spoke to one of the Police, asking if they had authority to make an arrest. Captain Dunnington and officer Wailes shortly after arrested Jeffards, who denied throwing the egg. An examination was then had before Captain Duntington. One witness saw him an egg in his hand a few minutes previous to the assault. Another testified that he saw him throw in the direction of the President, and another testified that he saw him throw an egg at and hit the President. The justice decided to hold him to bail, when the accused sent for Senator Evans, who declined becoming bail. He then sent for an other. In the meantime, becoming more sober, he cried bitterly, declaring that if sent to jail, he would not be living. He took out a small knife and stabbed himself in the leg just above the knee, saying he was determined to bleed to death The wound bleeding profusely, how ever, he appeared to be alarmed, and allowed it be examined. The Attorney General at this juncture com municated to Captain Dunnington the desire of the President that the prisoner be not prose cuted, and he was discharged. The Expenses of the Government.
