THE CONTRAST.
When our forefathers had concluded to
throw off the yoke of kings, they made a dec
laration of independence signed by their own
hands andent it to the world to betcstel, to
stand or fall as public sentiment and courage
night determine. Ever since that day, the
true lovers of our country have thrownout the
banner of freedom publicly to the world and
emblazoned upon its ample fold in characters
that all might read the principles upon which
they hope and expect to conquer.
With this cue, the democratic party have
at all times followed the example set them,
and IN THE OPEN DAY proclaimed their
doctrines, and challenged the opposition of
the land. They have never slumbered nor
feared the light They court investigation. They
dare the scrutinising of the most subtile, to
try them by the most powerful lenses which
argument or even sophistry can bring to bear
on any tenet and the American people have
endorsed them in almost every issue.
The party places itself this fall upon the
same high platform Governor Bigler and
our other candidates have replied to all the
letters of inquiry, on whatever subject,
which have been propounded to them. Their
responses have been bold, open and manly
and nothing has been kept back or concealed.
How has it been with our opponents? They
Yulk from the the daylight. They seek the
shades of secrecy and obscurity. 'As of old,
where their candidates were not allowed to
answer f r themselves, but met all inquirers
with "ask my committee," so now we are re
ferred ta all the isms of the day for their re
plies and compelled to put up silence even
from these. Mr. Pollock did answer the
tcmperancemen.it is true; but lately his
mouth is stopped and now though challenged
again and again to speak, he knows nothing,
and will say IeS3 to the public.
He was to meet Bigler on tlio stump, we
were boastingly told , but no sooner had the

crats, choose whom you will serve.
"IIexry S. Mott, the Democratic candi
date for Canal Commissioner, has been charg
ed with having joined the Know Nothings.
This charge has been repeated over and over
again for the last month, and Mr. Mott has
never denied it. Why is this ? Mr. Mott is
. the nominee of a party that denounces the
Know Nothings, and yet he refuses to answer
the charge. We hope he will contradict the
charge without any further delay; but until
he docs so, we feel bound to believe it."
AUtshanian.
We clip the above paragraph from an edi
torial article in the "Alleghenian" of last
wjek. If the Editor was sincere, in the ex
pression of his hope that Mr. Mott would con
tradict the charge without any further delay,
we presume he has been fully relieved from
all doubt on the subject, by a perusal of Mr.
Mott's letter which we published iu our last
number, and in which he emphatically denies
that he ever had or ever desired to have any
OJnnection with the Jacobinical conclave of
Know-Nothings. If the Editor was so deeply
omcerned about Henry S. Mott's connection
with that society, we hope he will publish his
letter, in order that his readers may have the
full benefit of it.
We are very well satisfied, that the Editor
of the Alleghanian has no manner of sym
pathy with the Know Nothing pirates ; he is
a respectable man, and none such who pro
perly estimates the good opinion of this com
munity, would hazard his fair name and re
putation by even a quasi-endorsement of their
foul and pestilent doctrines ; that he despises
them with a hearty good will we cheerfully
admit and that he foresees the baleful efiects
on society which would result from the suc
oessfull propagation of their infamous creed,
his intelligence as well as his desire tor the
preservation of the political as well as religious
rights of his neighbors fully attest.
The Editor is a whig we may say an
vltn whig, although his Magnus Apollo, Ho
race Greely, his farorite candidate for the
next Presidency, has sadly degenerated, in
these days of whig and abolition fusion, from
the political faith of Henry Clay. It being
conceded then, that the Editor Ls perfectly
sound in his opposition to Know Nothingism
and that le exprcfscd hi true sentiments
when hepcrsucd the -words, ".we hope, he
(Mott) will contradict uiecnurgc ujunu
further delay," bow aoes it cumc iu i"-
he is not equaiiy m, 7 7 c
Pollock deny "without avy further delay,
the very same charge which has been preferred
against him with all due formality, as ta time
and place and with the allegation of its entire
truth, if denied hy the gentleman himself. This
charge has been repeated over ana over agai 1
for alonger period than "the last month" by
the Pcnnsylvanian and Evening Argus in
Philadelphia as well as every other demoera
tie papers in the state, and yet Judge Pollock
preserves a prolound ana ominous silence.
No denial "By Authority" has ever yet ap
peared in a whig paper, mnch less a contra
diction from Judg Pollock himself. If con
sistent as regards Ilonry S. Motts connection
with the society, hi hope that Mr. Mott will
deny the charge, is a tacit admission on the
part of the Editor, that to be a Know No
thing is degrading and disreputable that is
the meaning and the only meaning of the pa
ragraph at the head of this article.
''To be or not to be" a Know Nothing is
now the question which more than any other
agitates tho political cauldron in Pcnnsyl-
vania. ne result 01 uiu tumiug i-iccuuu win
settle, at least for a time, the truth and vi
tality of the great principle for which Washing
ton, Malison, Morris Pinckney and their co
labcrers nobly and successfully contended for
in the formation of the great charter of our
liberties. The question will then be decid
ed at the ballot box, whether a foreigner or
the son of a foreigner and especially a Catho
lic, although honest and competent, is eligible
iu an office. He cannot be, if the monstrou?
and absurd doctrines of the Know Nothings,
so revolting to human reason, prevail and

MEETING IN EBENSBURG.
A large ami enthusiastic meetins: of the Democ
racy of the Mountains, was held at the Court
House in Ebensburg, on Tuesday evening, Sept.
5th. The meeting was organized by the selection
of the following officers:
President, M. Hassox Esq.
Vice Presidents, Wm. Palmer Esq., Col .
John McGough and Johk Sinof.r, Esqrs.
Secretaries, Montgomery Douglass and A.
J. Rhey.
Gen. McDonald, in a few brief remarks, stated
that the meeting had been assembled to hear sev
eral distinguished Democrats upon the political
questions of the day, and introduced to the ns
scmblage Hon. A. C. Podge, U. S. Senator from
Iowa, whose presence was hailed with the liveli
est demonstrations cf applause.
Gen. Dodge said he was proud of the occasion
to address the democracy of Cambria. His visit
here was accidental; fur a few days he had been
detained in or.e portion of the Cjunty on account
of sickness in his family. Upon being notified at
a late hour of the afternoon to m' et his fellow
democrats at the county seat, he had determined
to be with them to give Lis humble aid in behalf
of that party which has advanced the country to
its present greatness. He hoped the democracy,
whether they caught fish on the banks of the St.
John, or raise! cotton on the fields of Louisiana,
would al ways meet at a common point, here or
elsewhere, as brothers. The democracy of the
Keystone State had assisted to place in the Presi
dential chair Fkaxklin PiEncE; he has becu true
to the principles that elevated him and you will
never desert him or the party whose faithful rep
resentative be is. It was not to be expected that
President Tierce could .sail the vessel of State
without meeting in his course strong opposition.
The press upon him for office had been severe,
and disappointment was the fate of many. Ran
dolph and others deserted Jefferson when they
discovered they could not dictate to him what
Course of policy he should pursue. Pennsylvania
and her people never faltered but gloriously sus
tained him. Jetiersoii sought to administer the
government for the greatest good of the greatest
number and his successor, now in office, will vig
ilantly adhere to that doctrine. When the ene
mies of "Old nickory" did not hesitate to pre
sent the assassin's pistol at his patriotic breast,
how is It to be expected that Franklin Pierce can
escare
calumnv ami '?tCt'on -But he like his
I illustrious predecessor will be sustained Dv
voices of the democratic thousands, who in ail
times fear not to applaud good and meritorious
actions. It is one of the difficulties, most annoy
ing to those in power, when they have to disap
point the politicians, but in so doing materially
aid the welfare and happiness of the people. The
stars and stripes of our country have not been in
sulted b' any foreign power, under the present
administration. Their lustre is undimmed, their
magic power is unbroken. Will the future histo
rian believe that because Pier ce signed, and the
democratic, party ap roved, tho rights of the
peop7e to firm the laws for governing themselves,
as contained iu the bill for the organization of the
territories of Kansas and Nebraska that the demo
cracy are false to liberty ? By no rrn?ans. That
organic law which would forbid Washington or
Jefferson, if the' were living, or Jeff. Davis, our
patriotic secretary of war, from emigrating into a
territory, which is part and parcel of the wealth
an 1 property of the whole nation, would bo un
j ist and unfair. Is it for the passage of such
law, wherehythe territory is thrown open to com
petition from a!l the states, that Pierce is arraign
ed ? Yes, and by that party which would con
tinue in existence a geographical line, of the evil
tendency of which Washington warned his coun
trymen ? The honorable gentleman spoke for
some time upon the principles of the Nebraska
bill, nn l prove I on jlas.vely that it Was b. t the
w-es'ablisl.m nt of the prineipl s a? contained in
the Gmproinise of 1 850, whereby the people of
the territories have the constitutional right to re
g date their own d( m?stic policy.
Senator D xlgo th. n referred to tho importance
of our gubernatorial flection. He spoke of the
well known character of Gov. Bigler, and the
manly and decided stand he had taken for the
peoples rights. He condemned as a great evil the
existence of a secret organization for political pur
poses, the formation of which in this free and en
lightened country there could be no possible ex
cuse for, and said that the Democratic party were
now prepared to fight the battles for religious li
berty with the same ardor and enthusiasm that
it has contended against the monster of alwlitio
nism. In denouncing the prescriptive spirit rais
ed against foreigners, who became citizens of our
country, who iu peace or war maintain tho honor
of our flag and arc faithful toour laws, he said that
the foreign population have been the bone and
sin ew of Iowa, the means of developing the resour
ce s of that youthful but promising State, and but
for their industry and perseverance much of the
o il would not now teeming with the rich pro
d nets which rult from the hand of labor. He
referred to the manly manner in which Henrv S.
Mott denied the charge of '-Know Nothingism"
and said that though Judge Pollock had been
identified with that secret, midnight, oth-bound
association, the time, place and date of his joining
being given, he bad not as yet denied the charge.
In the speaker's opinion Judc P. should meet the
charge by a bold and iu nly denial, and pub'ish
his opinions, so that tlic ie-.ple. whose right it is to
know the rules which govern candidates, could act
understanding!-. In Conclusion, the honorable
gentleman stated, that if, during the course of his
remarks, he had in any manner tftendcvl his whig
friends, it any or them were present, he would in
all kindness withdraw any expression calculated
to wound their feelings, uot desiring intentionally
to injure his fellow man. With an expression of
thanks fur the generous attention of Ins audience,
Senator Dodge concluded his remarks, having
been greeted at numerous times during the deliv
ery eif his speech with most unbounded applause.
The Democ racy of Cambria gave him three hear
ty cheers. '
-Hon. P. C. Shannon, of Pittsburg, was called
upon to address the meeting and responded in his
usualcloquent and masterly style. lie called the
attention of those present to the time, when two
j-earsago, he had the pleasure to address the De
mocracy of Cimbria in Elx;nsburg, ami of his con
fidence tlien in the ultimate victories cf October
and September, and said that he was as confident
now that old Pennsylvania would proclaim to the
Union an overwhelming victory for our party in
October next. In 1852 the whig party appealed
in behalf of their candidate ta the votes of those
who had the "sweet German accent and the rich
Irish brogue,", and attempted as my friend from
Iowa says to. "twaddle" the people but they did
not succeed. Now the opposition is on the other
tack. There is n ) love now f.r the 'brogue' and
the 'accent,' but recourse is had to the opponents
of our foreign population and Whigs, Natives and
Know Nothings join hands together in this cru
sade against the constitutional rights of those who
possess the qualities so much praised in 1852. A
mighty change came over the spirit of the dreams
of the Whig party. But let the whigs resort to
what means thej may, let them employ all the
stratagems they can, the people are sound and
intelligent and will rebuke them and their candi
dates. In 1852 the whigs applied, as tlcy hal r.)

A 1 ,

ble. oppressed, down trodden man, who crosses
old Ocean and seeks here an asvlum, where he
can'live with his family in peace and be relieved
from the band of despotism that crushes bis en
ergies and fetters and er:sl ivcs his freedom-loving
spirit, is not fit to become a participator iu our free
institutions.
Fenn, the founder of our powerful state, has
rendered its name immortaL by the promulgation,
in 1C82, of "religious tolera'.i- n and rijdit of con
science to man." You may tenrch the page of
history from the most remote ago and where will
you find words so richly and truly eloquent -upon
that subject? The Constitution of this state gua
ranteesto each and every man full and entire free
dom of conscience, and safety from all religious
persecution. The Constitution of the United
States, framed by men whose equals the world
has never produced, grants to all citizens full, per
fect and free liberty of conscience. Upon the con
stitution of the state and of the o mntry the
democracy stand and they are determined to pre
serve that sacred bond n twithstan lingthe ass-anlt
made upon it by those who desire to produce a
state of things," despotic, prescriptive and antago
nistic to the free principles an 1 eternal truths con
tained within it. Judge S. denounced in empha
tic terms the Know Nothing party, and in allud
ing to it said, if we lived under a monarchy, a
despotism or czardom, we might probably uot
complain of the aggressive ,despieal le spirit of such
an organization, but living as we do, in a land
sacred to lilerty, where liberty is a consecrated
thing to the heart of man, we cannot hut express
our emphatic disapprobation ef the measures of
that midnight assex-iation whoso deeds fear the
light of truth. He spoke of Judge Pollock evad
ing an answer to the charge made against him
that he belonged to such society, and doubted if
Judge P. would deny the charge in his speech to
be made in Pittsburg to night. Ho referred at
length to the Nebraska question and stated that
Judge P. in his Sullivan county letter terms po-
pi'lar sovereignty "a false pretense." Should not,
in the words of the speaker, the dozen or more of
men, who emigrate to Kansas or Nebraska from
Ebcnsburgh to morrow, or next month, have
the right to form their own laws? The people
there have the right to form institutk ns for them
selves, under which they shall exist as a sovereign
and independent state ; the people of Massachu
setts or Pennsylvania have no right to extend the
strong arm of their authority over the western
pioneer and make the sons of the forest live under
the laws which we at a distance shall dictate to
them ns the best for their happiness and comfort.
Judge P. further referred to other questions which
divide parties, and towards the conclusion of his
speech in an eloquent ami impressive manner ap
pealed to the Cambria Democracy to stand firm
in support of the candidates of the party and those
principles which are the sure foundation of the
future greatness and power of the country. ne
was " P.nnly ?.pj.!'V'1,d during the delivery of his
remarks, after which he proptwi three hiarty
cheers for Bigler, Black and Mott, to which the
meeting loudly responded.
Gen. McDoxai.d, of Ca:nbria, on behalf of the
democracy tlumked the distinguished sjKakers for
their eh xjucnt and soul-stirring addretscs and then
proceeded at some length to address the meeting
in an able anl power tl speech upon the prin
ciples of our party. He was listened to with gre.it
attention, an l during his remarks was frequently
interrupted by the loud applause of his bearers.
He discusaed the principle of what the whigs call
the "Nebraska iniquity," ; nd simplified an 1 re
duced the opcrationsof that measure of self-government
so that all could well understand. He spike
of the slate' and county tickets and hoped that the
demtjcracy of Cambria would give to each a hearty
support, all the candidates being entitled to our
confidence and united action.
J so. C. O'Neill, Esq., offered the following re
solutions, which were unanimously adopted :
Resolved. That the democracy of Cambria
have full and unbounded confidence in the ad
ministration of Fraxklix Pierce, and ratify
and approve its policy. Our President has
proved hin-S If true to the interests of the coun
try and firm and faithful in his course to the
principles of las party.
Resolred That the right of the people to
govern themselves, and frame their own laws,
a principle re-established by the passage of
the act to organize the territories of Kansas and
Nebraska, meets ou r cordial approbation, and
we declare our determination to adhere to such
principle no matter what miserable subterfuge
our enemies may invent to cloak their opposi
tion to it.
Resolved. That the manly, consistent and
determined democracy of Gov. Bigler en
titles him and tho State ticket to an increased
majority in little Cambria.
Resdccd. That the eminent ability and
unchangeable democracy of Hon. J.S. Black,
our candidate for the Supreme Bench, and
the competent character andfaithful principles
of Hon. II. S. -Mott, our candidate for Canal
Commissioner, deserve at our hands a cordial
and united endorsement which we will give
them in October next.
. Resolved, That the candidates of our coun
ty ticket are of true and tried democracy and
acknowledged capacity, and they shall have
our undivided support.
Resolved ,-Tha.t we congratulate tie district
upon the selection of C'-d. Jno. Cxesswell
Jr., State Senator. Our confidence in hinl
is unabated our admiration of his purely de
mocratic course in the Senate unchanged.
Hesdred, That we witness with painful
feeling the formation of a secretpolitic&l orga
nization in this Union under the name of
'Know Nothings' or 'Sons of the sirei of
'7G,' whose principles no far as we can judge,
being antagonistic to the liberal principles of
the democratic party, and, if carried out,
subversive of the constitution of the country,
merit and receive our unqualified condemna
tion. Jie&lted, That the heartfelt thanks of this
meeting are hereby expressed to Hon. A. C.
Dodge, Hop. I". C. Shannon, and Gen. Jos.
McDonald, for the eloquent manner in which
they have defended the interests of the de
mocratic party and elucidated its principles.
Resulted, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the papers of
tho district.
Adjourned.
Democratic Meeting1.
A spirited meeting of the sterling demo
cracy of this county was held opposite Mrs.
!,Litzinger's Hotel, in this place, on Monday
evening last. Being Court-week it was of
course a gathering from every quarter oftbe
county. We were never more gratified than
on this occasion. Wc are often tauntingly
told by federalists, that the democratic party
is losing its fire its vitality its unity, its
organization. This, anl similar demonstrations
threw out the entire state, prove those charges
to be as false as malicious It was a cheer
ingly enthusiastic gathering. It proved in
evidence not to be otcn that the pulsa
tions of the unterrified dercocracr cf itlz
Cambria, still beat in unison with the great
heart, of the national party of the union and
that the pure spirit of democracy, burns in
them with the same vigor, and urdemi niflhed
lustre, as in the days of Jiffmon, of Jackson
anlofiVA-.
We are glad to see so healthy a feeling
manifested our country, fellow-citizens, are
sound to the core. They have no feeliLgs in
unison with the prescriptive or disorganizing
isms of the day The prospects of a glorious
victory over the numerous "isms" that con
stitutes the cohorts of federalism, grow brighter
every day. From every quarter of the state,
we have the cheerinjr intelligence, that the
sterling democracy is prepai ing to fight the
battle of the second Tuesday of October next,
with unsurpassed energy and zeal
' The meeting was organized by the election
of the following officers :
President: John II. Douglass, Esq , of
Clearfield ;
T7cc Presidents : Col. Jno Singer, of Jack
son ; luomas Jones, Jiisq., ot Jackson : J ..cob
R. Stall, Esq., of Richland; John Dougher

Wm. O'Keiff, of Cambria; Jas. Carroll, of
Carroll; Michael Noon, of Cambria; John
Flick, ofCarroll.
Secretaries: Christian Harrison, of Jack
son; Augustan Weakland, of Clearfield.
After i-he organization Gen. Joseph McDo
nald was loudly called on to address the
audience. He responded in tones of stormy
eloquence. He was listened to with atten
tion, and his remarks received the hearty
aprobation of the audience. After the Gene
ral concluded the follow resolutions were
read and unanimously adopted.
Resolced That in the administration of
Gen. Pierce we repose the utmost confidence
and that its high toned and thoroughly na
tional character is well calculated to eive us
character abroad and security and confidence
at home
Resolved that we most heartily approve
of the administration of Gov. Bigler, and
that as he has proven himself to be a demo
crat of the genuine Shunk and Jackson school,
the democracy of little Cambria are determin
ed to endo.se the measures Ot ma administra
tion, by giving him on the second Tuesday of
October next a majority ot at least J-oU
l'esohed That in our nominee for the
Judsre of the Supreme Court, Judge Black,
we have a man not only pure but above suspi
cion, one whose ability and integrity amply
qualify him to discharge the duties of that
important oihee ;
Rewired that we will support our worthy
candidate for the office of Canal Commis
sioner ;
Resolved That we will enter heartily into
the support of our Count- ticket, believing
that there is nothing to gain by permitting a
wlii" to fill even the most unimportant Coun
ty office. We are determined to
vote the
whole democratic ticket and use ad houorable
means to secure its triumph
NEWS PER TELEGRAPH.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC.
CAPTURE OF BOMERSCXD CONFIRMED.
The TJ S. Mail Steamer Pacific arrived at
New York jTesterday morning, with Liverpool
dates to the morning of the 23 ult. The Af
rica arrived out at Ci A. M. on tbe 20th
The fall of liomarsund is confirmed by this
arrival. It appears that a considerable part
of the garrison had retired before the attack
leaving only a garrison of two thousand, and
that it was intended to evacuate and destroy
the works entirely, but the attack of the allies
prevented this intention from being carried
out. The attacking force amounted to twelve
thousand, mostly French, and the fleet, or a
portion of it, seems also to have fired upon
the works.
Fifteen sail of the line, of which four ships
and four steamers were Freuch, are stated to
have lain within range of the works during
the fight, and probably a part of them, at
least, participated iu it. The credit of the
victory, such as it is, is given to the French.
The loss was not great, the French having
about 120 killed, and the Rrit'wh only three
or four.
The detached forts Tzee and Nottich were
first taken They were garrisoned by about
120 men each. Fort Tzee was attacked by the
French and of its defenders, seventy were
killed or wounded, leaving only thirty-five cap
tured unhurt. Fort Nottich seems to have
made less resistance, as 115 prisoners were
taken in it.
The attack on the main fortress then com
menced. Ouc account says it was bombarded
from 5 A. M. on the 15th, to 2 P. M. on the
ICth, and that part of the works were blown
up before proposals were made to surrender.
About 1500 prisoners were taken, who were
embarked oil board the allied fleets. The ca
pitulation is said by one account, to have taken
place at 12.30 P. M onthelGth. The allies
claim to have captured a hundred pieces of
cannon. Gen. Baraguay D'Hilliers, command
ing the land forces, had a narrow escape, a
cannon ball having passed between him and
the aid-de-camp with whom he was convers
ing Admiral Napier had warned all neutral ves
sels to leave Riga before Aug. 10th It was
supposed that place would be next attached.
The Pinch tSea and Danube.
The Russian steemer, Wladimir, has again
distinguished herself, by calling at the coaling
station of Kosloo, where she coaled, destroyed
two Turkish brigs, and pnt to sea in safety.
She is now said to have been on her way from
the United States to Sebastopol.
The Crimean expedition is said to be tempo
rarily deferred, on account of cholera and fever
among the troops. It is asserted that 7,000
Fr. nch and 500 English have died of cholera
at Varna.
Bucharest is quiet in the occupation of the
Turks. The Austrians have not yet entered
Wallachia, but it is again reported that orders
for their march bad been insured.
England.
A collision had occured on the South East
ern and Brighton railway, by which two or
three persons were killed and over a hundred
badly injured.
Madrid is comparatively quiet. An impor
tant piece of news is however, published by the
aris 1 alrte, to the lollowmg eliect :
On the 13th, a deputation composed of the
eadcrs of the barricades and of the clubs, wait
ed on Espartero to request him to suppress the
article in the decree convoking; the Cortes,
which lays down that the dynastic question
cannot be discussed by the new Constituent
Assembly Espartero at first replied to the de.
putation that they ought either to share the"
confidence reposed in him by the nation, cr
else govern in his place.
A long and warm discussion ensued, at the
end of which Espartero, in taking leave of the
deputation, recommended them to address their
petition to the Council of Ministers. I he dele
gates withdrew m great excitement. Notwith
standing tnese dangerous symptoms, the gov
ernment is thought to be strong enough to carry
out its policy.
M:sctWjn-ru.
Considerable excitement existed at Berlin,
from the circumstance that boats from the al-
ied fleet ha 1 be;n discovered taking the sounn-
r:gs f the Prussian port of Memel.
Aiie French government has made contracts
at Danzic for w. titer supplies for the French
fleet in the Baltic. This indicates the expecta
tion of a protracted campaign.

King Ohio is again becoming contumacious
He now refuses to disband the irregular troops.
