The Old Line Whigs.
'The "Old Lino Whigs" of Philadelphia
have recently held a meeting at whtoh reso
lutions were passed-expressing a Jetermina-
tion to cut themselves loose from those dis
graceful conspirators, the "Know-Nothings,"
It is said that a thorough organization 13 now
being made in every county of the Common
wealth by the "Old Line Whigs" that a
State Convention will eoon be called by them
to take tctjon in "this present momentous cri
sis," that questions will there be propound
ed to Judge Pollock in reference to secret
political organizations, and that unless he will
repudiate all such organizations, they will re
pudiate him, and nominate some other Whig,
& their candidate for Governor. This has
been caused by the threats of the ' Know
Nothings," to throw over board the present
Whig member of Congress from tho city
Joseph K. Chandler, merely because he is a
catholic, Mr. Chandler is one of the most
able men in the Pennsylvania Delegation in
Congress, haa represented the city for some
years, and his old censiityents do not now
eeem willing to lose his sarvfces, merely to
gratify a set cf intolerant a?d prescriptive
"Know Nothings." There is futt ahad, and
"we ehall see, what we shall see," we Ad
vise our Whig brethren to look ottt for
breakers.
Address of the Central Committee.
We publish on our first page the third ad
dress of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee. Like those, which have preceded it,
it will bo found full, elaborate and to the point.
It treats of the principles of popular sovereign
ty as applied to the Nebraska and Kanzas
bill, and id a perfect vindication of the ac
tion of the general government and the
principles of the Democratic party. We
hope our readers will give it an attentive
perusal, and feel satisfied that from it they
will derive much instruction.
Jnde Black's Letter.
We call the attention of our readers to the let
ter of this gentleman addressed to the President of
tho Proliibitory State Convention, which will 1
found in our present number. It is able, digni
fied and to the point. The idea that a Judge may
pronounce? a law constitutional or otherwise in re
ference to Prohibition or any other great public
questu -TJ-frt the. hiw has been enacted and before
iU jrocisions can be Lwsirn, ii eimply ridiculous.
The proceeding Is a novel one, nevor having lxen
attempted before. Wc tmst tho other Judges of
the Supreme Court will imitate Judge Tdack and
li likewise. When the question is fairly present
ed to that Court we have no doubt they will
xscientjonsJy discharge their duty,
Consistency.
Tho Whigs are very loud just now in their
opposition to rjtho." organization of the ter-.
ritories of Nebraska and Kanz.ns, and appear
to be. very fearful least they may become
tdave states. If they are to be believed this
is only to be prevented by defeating Gov.
Uigler and elec ting James I'ollock. Theso
same whigs were opposed to the annexation of
Texas, and denounce-i every man who voted
for its admission as aVlave state; and although
James Pollock's vote stand recorded upon
the Journals of Conirrc.'-s in favour of its a 1-
mission. Vet tliey now bespatter him with

JAMES POLLOCK AND THE KNOW
NOTHINGS.
When the freemen of Pennsylvania crushed cut
Native Americanism through the ballot box, tlc
friends of pence and order in society, had good
reason to believe, that no political-religious com
bination ofmenwoull ever be orgauized in our
midst, whoso aims are even more odious and anti
republican, tlian were those of their illustrious
predecessors. It was supposed that the days of
bigotry and proscription had passed away and
that the old order of things in political warfare had
been mtorcd. It s tems, however, tliat not only
in this state, but in others, there has recently
sprung into existence a new sect of political re
formers under the unmeaning title of Knoic-Xo-thiius.
They are a secret oath bound society,
whose founder is said to be a notorious New York
libertine, who in his day and generation, has suc
cessfully tested the virtues and strength of a few
yards of hemp in Tennessee, lie possesses a mind
capacious for such tilings and the means and ends
of tl.e.c modern political eriwadcis, pre traceable
to a fitting and appropriate paternity. They
profess to be the peculiar guardians of the insti
tutions of their country ; they swear eternal host
ility to all foreigners and the sons of foreigners,
and vow to oppose " to the bitter end" the. right
of a Catholic to hold office. TH-, - uiulcr
staud, is their platform and they modestly ask
amcrican citizens, the jxirents, and at Icaet one
yrand jarcnt of whom, were "to tho manor born"
to step up and stand on it along with them.
Tried by this political test, we venture to pay,
thst in the town of El ensburg and it vicinity
containing a population of near me thousand,
there are not ttcenty-fice voters who would be per
mitted to stand on the platform.
The first -victory of any magnitude achieved
by this infamous secret organization, was the
election of Robert T. Conrad to the office of
Ma-or of the city of Philadelphia, in June last.
This was accomplished by a union with the wLigs,
similar to the coalition that took placo between
the whigs aud natives in 1841 in as much as Con
rad was the nominee of both parties and received
their votes. It is said that in an evil hour James
Pollock, the whig candidate for Governor, fnlly
appreciating the importance of this new political
movement, as well as the necessity c f securing
their votes, repaired to Philadelphia, a few days
after Conrad's election,and there, regularly and in
due form, became a member of one of their lodges.
The Editor of the Pcnnsylvanian has repeatedly
char.-e 1 Mr. Pollock with having dono sp he has
named the month, the day of the month and the cor-
ner rflicj streets in Pk&ilJjthix tchcre Judge
r.3ic7c teas dull initiated into its scent mysteries
and asserts, in language not to be mistaken, that
he can and irill jrw-e the truth of the charge, pro-
tided J udyeFullock vciU publicly deny it. We readily
admit that as a general rule, candidates for ofiice. !
are not expected to deny everycharge that may be
preferred against them by their political much
less their personal adversaries; but the case of
Judge Tollock constitutes an exception to this
general rule! If he ever connected himself with
a Know-Nothing society, and the oaths of that
society were administered to him, as the rcnnsyl
vanian says, tl.oy were, he is utterly unfit to dis
charge the high and resposiblo duties of Governor
in accordance with the oath he would be required
ta take on the day of his Inauguration. Tie can
not serve two masters. So far as Judge Pollock's
reputation is concerned as a man and a citizen,
we havo no imputation to make no charge toprcfer;
even if we had" the disposition to do so, the
truth would not justify ns. But when he
appears before the people of the state soliciting
their suffrages for a lugh public trust, a prompt
denial of so serious a charge ij most certairdy
demanded by every sense of justice. If it is not
true lie can easily say so, and then the Pennsyl
vania!! will be put to the prof f, an ordeal through
which the editor of that paper says ho is ready
and willing to pass. If he cannot and does not
Irnisli the evidence, he stands lxfre the pvqie of
Pcnn",liCi'nia 8elf -concietd of falsehood. Will
Jude Pooci deny it ? If he does not, there is
but one conct'sioT to arrivo at, and that is, that
it is true. The ue 'J Judge Pollock's pen and
ink in h's own hand few moments can settle
the controversy so far la t as he is concerned.
Gov. Iiiglcr has been chafed by tome cf the
whig papers with having maiO application to be
admitted a member of the Know Nothing society
and having been rejected. IIknr S. Mott,
the democratic candidate for Canal Comiu issi'ner,
has also been charged by the same papers" wii.h
being a member of the same order. Now, if aiv
whig editor in Pennsylvania, will take the same
position in this matter with reference to Gov. rtig
ler and Henry S. Mo'.t, that the editor of tho
Pennsylvanian takes with Pollock and propose
to prove the truth of the accusation, provided Big
Ict and Molt will publish their denial of it over
their own signature, and if they n fuse to do so,
and that rery prcrwptly, wo, as the editors of a do
nvcratic journal, will not only, not vote for them,
but will erase their names from the head of our
paper, and call upon the State Central Cominittee
to reassemble the State Convention, and nomi
nate candidates for Governor and Canal Commis
sioner, whose total disconnection in any sliape,
manner or form tcith Kwnc-KnUtingiam is not oiJy
clear, but even alove sufjn'cion.
We seek political succoos in honorable and open
warfare, aud would consider a victory achieved by
any other means, not e.y dishonorable, but ut
terly fruitless, a victory with a barren sceptre. .
WHIG CONFERENCE.
The whig conferees from this district met at
Johnstown, on last Friday, and on the ninety ninth
ballot nominated Col. Johx R. Edie of Somerset
as their candidate for Congress, to succeed ' Dr.
M'Culloeh, the present incumbent. In as much
as the district is thoroughly whig, we have but
little to say on the subject. Speaking politically,
Somerset is a peculiarly fortunate county, owing
perhaps to the fact, that she produces more than
An average crop of great men. . In -view of this
nomination, the question, which has been discus

cither going into Somerset or coming out of it, "-c
forget which, our people supposed that their long
v hcrished hopes of congressional honors were about
to be fully realized. But unfortunately, the Ge
neral discovered in the sequel, that crossing
"Stoney Creek" to him the Pennsylvania Cayuga
Bridgo, under the pressure of the aforesaid "four
teen hundred majority," was a much harder road
to travel than ever Jordan was, and so our bread
again fell ou the "buttered side." There is a
good time coming, however, izt wc learn that
C 1, Edie is distinctly pledged not to ask a rcno
niiuation. This, then, as far, as heard from , is a
"one term distiict." Dr. M'Culloch is made, a
one term mum by the action of the conference and
Col. Edie, being a "modest man" and in favor of
"safe precedents," will be satisfied with the sarffc
limited tenure. "Wc therefore suggest that the re
maining "four years" of the ten, "Iks specially
set apart for the benefit of Cambria."
This arrangement would '.dmplify"mattcrs ex
ceedingly, and if concurred in by our whig friends
in the other counties of the district, will be an
epoch in the political annals of tliis county, long
and gratefully to bo remembered. A live con
gressman from Cambria county would produec'as
great a sensation i pJitical circles at "Washing
ton as the advent of the first representative from
the Sandwich Islands.
Gov. Bigler in Fulton.
The Fulton Democrat gives a cheering account
of the great meeting of the democracy, held at-
M'Connellsburg on the 7th instant. Gov. Bigler
was received with "cheers that 6hook the court
house," and his spcecjuto tho assembled multi
tude," was received Vnth hearty aud long con
tinued applause." ,
For the gratification and information of every
democratic reader, wo transfer to our columns the
remarks of the "Dcin,ocrat" in relation to the elo
quent and effective remarks of our distinguished
Governor.
Tho "Democrat" says, we shall no attempt to
givo even a slight sketch of the governor's re
marks ; suffice it to say that he spoke in a manly
and open manner, without any attempt at con
cealment on all the great questions of the day.
His opinions were given in such a plain and un
varnished way, that no one could misunderstood
them. There was no "dodging" of any question
which is now before, the tinopl "J" prosperity
and high position of Pennsylvania was dilated
Upon in te rms that must satisfy the most incredu
lous that the governor has at heart the best "and
deerest interests of the Keystone State.
Tho finances public improvements local and
special legislation the banks national politics
the Nebraska bill and Know-Nothingism each
claimed and received a share of the Governor's at
tention and his remarks on all these questions,
showed, in the expressive language of n old de
mocrat, that he was as "sound as a dollar."
lie closed his remarks with an eloquence that
astonished even his friends and gave tha whigs a
fore taste of what their candidate might expect he
appeared before the people with so able a cham
pion of democratic principles.IIis remarks through
out were listened to with deep attention, and gave
great satisfaction to tho masses, who were pre
sent, Even the whigs, many of them at least,
were pleased with his speech and gave the gover
nor credit for good intentions and an honot desire
to advance the glorious old Commonwealth, over
which he so able resides.
It is due to Gov. Bigler to say, that this was
his first political speech he had made ance his
election in 1851, and that it was delivered with
rut any previous preparation. This effort proves
him to be an apt, earnest and graceful speaker,
and a statesman of enlarged and liberal vk'ws.
Greeley on Eaiow-Nothingism.
The New York Tribune, the leading and most
influential Whig paper in the country, lias taken
a bold and decided stand against the monstrous
order of the Know-Nothtngs, fr which its editor
deserves infinite credit. This, however, was to be
expected, for what ever peculiarities Greeley may
have as an editor and however objectionable some
of his doctrines may be, he has always been .the
uncompromising foe of fanaticism the defender
of liberal and constitutional governments whether
the blow for its achievement bo struck in Ireland,
France, Germany or Hungary. He has no sym
pathy for tyrants and despises Louis Napoleon as
heastily as Lc docs the Emperor Joseph. A short
J'nic since he received a coiumuuicatkjn from a
Knv1v'-Nothing, defending that portion of their
doctrir: which denies to a catholic the right to
hold office- We publish below his reply to tho
communication which is not only a just and
well merited rcLu.kc to his bigottcd and narrow
minded Know-Noilnhng correspondent but also a
complete vindication of tho truth of history.
a
(From the JVew Ycrl: Tribune.
Wc print in another column, for whatever
tt may be worth in the eyes of its readers, a
communication upon the aims et the Society
of Know-Nothings. In our view, tiiis oqbosit
ion is precious niainby as an avowal of lvnow
Nothiug purposes and plans ' Truth compels
us to add that the oldest Republic nowexeist
ing is that of San Marino, not only Catholic
but wholly surrounded by the especial domin
ion of the Popes, who might have crushed it
like an cgg-tdicll at any time these hist thou
sand years but they did n't: The only Re
public we ever traveled in beside our own is
Switzerland, half of its cantons or States en
tirety Catholic, yet never that we have heard
of unfaithful to the caus of Freedom, They
were nearly all .Roman Catholics, from the
southern cantons of Switzerland, whom Aus
tria so ruthlessly expelled fromLoiulfardy af
ter the suppression of tho last revolt in Milan,
accounting them natural-born Republicans
and Revolutionists; and wc suppose Austrais
not a Know-Nothing on this point. We never
heard the Catholics of Hungary accused of
baekwardacss in the late glorious etrurrglc of
their country for freedom, though though its
leaders were Protestants, fighting against a
leading Catholic Power a-owedly in favor of
Religions as well as Civil Liberty. And ch'f
valtric, unhappy Poland, almost wholly Catho
lic, has made as gallant struggles for Freedom
os any other nation, while of te three despo
tisms that crushed her but one was Catholic.
Hut enough. Wc do. not hope to stop the
crusade of intolerance and violence now pet
ting against the Catholics, railing for their
disfranchisement, and threatening their tem
porary exclusion from all public trusts. Epi
demics of this sort must havo their course; and
this one has some truth and a large amount
of honest bigotry on which to base its opera
tions. Quiteanumberwho.se religion never
till now did them much good or harm, will
ride into office on the back of their resonant
Protestantism, anil that will Jjo tho end of the
matter. The Naturalization Laws will remain
essentially as they arc; and Know-Nothingism
will give place to some new fashion in politics,
perhaps equally factitious, after a few changes
of the moon. We only desire to bo clai-sed,
now and evermore, among those who are in
favor of the infusion into our current Politics
of the largest possible measure of practical
Religion, and therefore averse to interming
ling therewith the least trace of polemical
Theology.
The Difficulty at Greytcwa.
It is a favorite theory with certain prints
which sympathize with the Uritifch in their
desire to maintain a protectorate over Grey
town, that the Secretary of Yrar ought to have
repiesented the facts to the Nicarragua Go
vernment. If our flag is insulted, or our citi
zens maltreated by the so-called Republic
of Central Anieiica, no notice is to be taken
of tUo oooTirrences by the United States until
redress is asked for irom tho fountain heal.
Hut these journals soem to forget, or do not
know, that with these countries, for the past,
even when that bo obtained, is no security for
the future. The people of those ports care no
thing for their Governments how mnchthey
pay, how much they are punished, or how
meanly they apologi so, ho long as the real
perpetrators of the oilonco go free from personal
chastiscmemt. Hut the case of Sau Juan or
Greytownwill Ftill more forcibly illustrate
the folly of such a course allies. To what go
vernment would the United States have ap
pealed for redress? Not to that of Nicaragua,
for tho Greytown authorities did not recogn
ize that as binding. Not to the drunken sav
age who elaiiii.s dominion over the place, fvr
he would have sheltered hiuiIf behind the
British protectorate. Not to the English go
vernment, for their claim is repudiated by all,
save the Whig journals and their allies, both
in this country and in England. How then,
could the United States government have
made a representation of the fact"! to any res
ponsible party. It could not have beca done,
and the sugestiva isuaplj one of tho tricks
resorted to uv the enemies of the administra
tion md the country, to embarrass the one,
and insult the honor of the other.
Mr Rice, formerly Consul at Acapulco, has
contributed an article to the Saeo (Me) De
mocrat, upoa this subject, which is deserving
of attention Mr. Rice had a pretty extensive
experience under those irresponsible govern
ments of which ho writes, and has suffered
not a little from that class of persons whom
Capt. Ilollins chastised, in Slexico. lie.
therefore, speaks forcibly upon the subject,
but we have no doubt truthfully. At any
rate, we consider his testimony of sufficient
weight on such a question to overbalance a
thousand such tirades as those indulged by the
whig journals and their sympathisers. After
summing up the whole facts, Mr. Rice comes
to the conclusion that the only way to deal
with such fellows ia to bring tho punishment
directly home to the authors of the outrage, a
la Secretary Marey tind Capt. Ilollins and we
feel very much inclined to coincide with this
opinion Mr. Rice then continues:
"The bombardment of Greytown is bring
ing down the general anathemas of the press
against the administration. It is natural it
should. Very few editors have had the felici
ty of a prolonged residence in the ports of the
little rascally miscalled republics and depen
dencies on this and the southern portion of the
coutintent. Very few of them havo been ba
yonetted by black soldiers, because they re
fused to submit to extortions, or been locked
up in calabooses with fleas and drunken ne
groes, because they would not submit to be
robbed by African alcaldes ; and breechcsless
Indian officials. A year's residence among
some of these communities, would be a sad
damper upon their sympathizing hearts. The
principal plea made for Greytown is that she
is weak, that she hadn't a sword or gun .to
defend herself with. Of course the hadn't.
Hut when they happen to catch you without
a sword or a gun look out for them! A com
munity of bigger rascals never existed than
the Jamaica-negro community of Nicaragua.
As General Jackson eloquently remarked
in his first message, in regard to the modern
Greeks. ' ' It would be a large economy in God
to save the like." Hut seriously, this doctrine
that you must let weak nations insult you and
impose upon you, merely because they are
weak, is getting to be a bore. They presume
too much upon such an immunity, Wo do not-
agree with the New lork Courier and L.n
quiter, when it asserts that we take no notice
of insults heaped upon us by powerful nations,
while we are ready to grind to powder weaker
ones. A sligbtiusult or outrage from England,
France or Austria sets up a cry of vengeance
throughout the land.
We all hear of it and talk about it, because
it comes from a powerful, proud people, and
is geneaally a .calculated, premeditated cou
rage; and we generally get satisfaction for it
either in money or apologies. ' Hut weak nat
ions, having no money, and ready to commit
again the same offence as soon as they have
apologized for it; wc let it pass. No glory can
be gained in thrashing them; national jealous
ies and national pride is not evoked, and so
we generally conclude to forgive thcin.. We
think this punishment inflicted upon will have
a healthy influence in those parts.
. C3-That Gov. Bigler will be re-elected,
there is now no question! We confess that a
few weeks after the Philadelphia election, the
chances loohed somewhat blue to ns; but a
reaction has taken place, which is becoming
more powerful every day. There the Nebras
ka humbug, which our opponents attempted
to ride, has been " run into the ground." so
that now scarcely a plank islefu to stand up
on. At first the people did not understand the
matter, the whigs and Free Soilers made z'ai'h
a clamor over the bill, but the "POuCf second
thought" has come, and w;Ju it a conviction
that there can be litJie honesty in their pro
fusions of Iqto Tor tho Missouri Compromise,
after having for twenty years denounced it.
In short, tho ' sober second thought of the
people is ever right, and always efficient," as
th re-election of Bigler will most iucontegti
bly prove. Eric Observer.

COEEESPONDENCE.
Messrs. Ediiors :
In your last issue some individual over the
signature of "Justice," throws out a challenge
to "Truth in the following words:"
"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 favorite Common School System ? Let
"Truth" answer.
To the above interrogatory "Truth" an
swereth.that be i anxious for a discussion not
only on moral and religious grounds, but also
upon legal grounds. I am no "higher law"
man however. As a citizen I recognize no
thing above our Constitution. Mr. Justice
can commence a "discussion" upon the follow
ing terms
1st. That I am assured that my competitor
is a gentleman, and that gentlemanly language
alone will be used.
2d. That should a position be asfiumcd by
"Justice," that could have no bearing upon
our Common School System. I shall not be
expected to answer orrefafcj su'di position.
3d. That, before any "discussion" on mv
part is entered into "Justice" shall answer at
least one of the facts set forth in my articl c of
10th inst.
On these terms I shall enter the lists. Still
I fear my efforts to enlighten a "genius," that
says: "The language of 'Truth' is bold and
explicit enough, and in the same sentence
says, he cannot understand, what I am "driv
ing at," will be fruitless. Justice has always
been represented a3 being blind. I fear your
correspondent who writes over that signature,
will yet demonstrate that this is literally true
when applied to Mr. Justice, the enemy of
our Common School System
I will not, however, despair of convincing
my 'opponent ha id in error : yet, what a Her
culean task to attempt to convince one who
has the presumption to write Heavenly Father
with a little "h" and a little "f." I foar he
will consider argument abuse and logio non
sense. I shall see.
In connection with tho projoscd discussion
I will discuss the necessity of introducing the
Bible into our Common Schools. I go for
Common Schools and the Bible in every
School. TRUTH.
fcj-TiiE Social Revolution is Ireland.
The Western Star has the following remarks in
reference to the progress of the "Saxon invasion"
of the 19th century:
"That there are hosts of adventurous capitalists
lured by the alleged cheapness of lan 1 in the west
of Ireland, continually passing over tho country
in search of investments, is one of the greatest
anomalies in tho social history of the British em
pire. Wo have been frequently visited by per
sons from the sister i.-le, seeking correct informa
tion respecting localities in which land may 1h to
sell. Not only from the more agricultural districts
of Scotland, but even from the central and south
ern counties of England, the lan Jseekers are flock
ing in surpris'ng numbers. Most of tho smaller
capitalists, with whom we conversed, arodeeplv
impressed with the importance cf title in their
purchases ; a parliamentary title they seem anxious
for, were it but for the smallest farm. During
the 1 ist six months itwoiild amaze one even to
estimate the numbers who have settled in Gal
way and the neighboring counties. The revolu
tion steals onward. The invasion though not so
warlike as that of Strongbow, is still as complete,
and the lapse of seven centuries has rather in
creased than lessened the desire i n the part of tho
Scott andSaxon to obtain the possession of land in
Ireland. The cry is still 'they come ! they come!
Be it so j the change may not bo for the worse.
GO Tho duties of the cmplover and the employ
ed are fixed and certain. While the employer
should ne t refuse to pay'the laborer his hire, it
is equally the duty of the employed in all cases
to perform his labors diligently, and to protec t
his employer's interests and property. If tiie
laborer fails to perforin these duties, he robs his
employer, just as much as if ho were to tako mo
ney from Ids desk.
Tile Iron' foundries of Pittsburg. It is
said that there are now in Pittsburg 38 iron
foundries, of which nine are almost exclusive
ly employed in the manufacture of steam en

various kinds of hollow ware, machinery. &c.
The foundries whicli are employed in the ma
nufactory of steam engines, yearly 3,200 tons
of wrought iron 9,200 of pig, employ G10
men, and produce 120 steam engines every
year. Their net capital is 510,000. The

dries is the Fort Pitt Works. At this esta
