THE C'OXTRAST.
An effort Is now b.-ing made throughout this
State, by as unscrupulous a combination of poli
tical bandits as ever dishonored the cause of re
publican Iiliertj', to deprive our adopted citizens
of their constitutional guarantees, and to doom to
political ostracism, every member of a particular
religious faith, who asserts his indcfcasahle right
t worship God according to tho dictates of his
own conscience. This unholy and anti-republican
purpose is not sought to be accomplished by
open and publicly avowed means, but through
the operations of a secret oath-bound association,
whoso members meet like conspirators, in the
dead hour of the night and devise the ways and
means by which their dastardly designs may be
carried into successful execution. In view of this
well known political, religious organization, and
the disastrous consequences to the peace an 1 well
bebig of society, which must result from its tri
umph, we regard tho approaching state election
as the most important one that has ever been sub
mitted to the people of Pennsylvania for their calm
and deliberate decision.
The elevation of this man or that man to the
Executive chair as the representative of certain
well defined political priuciplcs the mere tempo-
.ry triumph of the democratic or the whig par
ty, sinks into utter insignificance hi comparison
with a triumph of Know-NothingLsm,which would
be the utter and complete destruction of the well
recognized rights of our adopted citizens as well
as the demolition of the very pillars upon which
the structure of our religious freedom rests. Hie
one would be a mere triumph of one great politi
cal party over the other,, and like all former sue
cesses of the same kind would soon pass away
and be forgotten in the general aequiscence of the
people. The other would be a triumph of fanatic
ism a triumph of political assassins who com
mune together at tho hour of midnight ; whose
deeds aro evil and hate the light of uay whose
avowed aims arc an insult to our re-olutionary
ancestors and whose success would cause heart
burnings, not only throughout Pennsylvania but
throughout tho Union not easily to be healed or
oon to bo forgotten. . "We speak what we sincerely
believo. We sjtcak from what wo havo seen else
where as the result of the triumph of the faction
to which we. havo referred and" we know that like
auncs always hare and always will produce like
effects.
The principles which govern political parties
can only be ascertained from the public declara
tion of their candidates or the exposi tion of tl.oir
newspaper pros. Ju lgyJ by this standard, how
striking is the contrast between Gov. Bigler and
twd3:njMtic pro.u an I James Pollock and the
Whig press, on tho subject of Know-Nothingism ;
a question which rises superior to all other politi
cal considerations. The democratic candidate f r
Governor, has pul licly in the presenco of the de
mocracy of Susquehanna County, repudiated a'l
connection with it and has denounced it in bold
an! unqualified language; the democratic press
of tho state with one suited voice, from the Alle
gheny to the Delaware, has proclaimed its bitter
nj unceasing hostility to it ; its candidate for
Canal Gnmnissioccr has declared over his own
signature, that he never desired to have nnd has
Kt now any connection with it ; its candidate.!
fr Cjugrs and the State Legislature, in every
ioUne in which they have been interrogated,
have put away from them the unclean thing and
hart planted theraselve vpju the Constitution
and the laws of their country.
There has not Wn a public meeting of the
deajjcvrfr? jVt' 1ft Fc:n.'.lT&ijM. since Knc?-
Nothingism has developed himself, at which re- I
soluticns have not been passed placing its seal
cf condemnation upon it. This is the proud and
noble position occupied by the democracy of
Pennsylvania on this important question.
On the other hand James Pollock has been re
peatedly and distinctly charged by the leading
democratic paper of the state, with being a mem -
ber of this secret order, and the Editor of that
paper has pledged himself to produce the proof of
the charge, and to convict Judge Pollock before
the freemen of Pennsylvania, if it is denied by
that gentleman, or else stand self-convicted of a
falsehood. And yet James Pollock has not seen
proper to say one word on the subject. He has
addressed his political friends in several portions
of the state, but on this subject they are just as
w ise now as when he left home and we predict
that up until the day of the election they will re
main in the same state of glorious uncertainty.
One of his travelling companions from Harris
burg to Altoona, was the notorious Editor of the
Telegraph, the leading organ of Pollock in this
state, Stephen Miller, a man whose vile and in
cendiary writings, whose foul and villainous
abuse adopte 1 citizens ; whose wanton, malici
ous and fiendish attacks on the Catholic religion,
its ministers and members, have made his very
name a by-word and reproach among all decent
and respectable citizens. Such is the man who is
the accredited organ of the Whig candidate for
Governor; such is the political reputation of at
least one of the men in whom 1- delights as a
traveling companion.
Tell me the kind of company you keep and I
will tell you what kind of a man you are, is an
old, and very true Spanish proverb. The Whig
press throughout the state, with two or three
honorable exceptions, the Alleghenian being one,
has tacitly connived at the base purposes of these
Pennsylvania Jacobins, and not one of them has
openly declare! by authority of James Pollock,
that he is not a member of the order. Not one of
their candidates for office, in any one county of
the state, Las had the courage publicly to de
uounce it; in not one of their'political meetings
has a resolution been passed repudiating i, nor
has one of their orators, all of whom in the days
of Anti-masonry were so eloquent in their de
nunciations of all secret political societies, ever
yet raised his voice against it. Such is the Whi
party of Pennsylvania and such the humiliating
attitude it now occupies beforo the people.
Let us now for a moment look at home. Did
John R. Edie, the Whig candidate for Congress in
this" District, hold the Know-Nothings up to the
scorn and contempt of his hearers at the Whig
meeting l:cl 1 on Court week ? Did M. I). Mage
han, the once rabid dcclaimer against Masonry,
lash them in a style peculiar to himself? No!
They be'aboured the Kansas and Nebraska bill
and to say the least of it were the silent apologists
of the Know Nothings. Not so with Gen. Dod
and Judge Shannon at the democratic meeting.
They bddly and like national democrats, advo
cated the political and religious right of all and
their eloquent appeals were responded to by the
shouts of au approving democracy.
But at the whig meeting aforesaid, an Edvcard,
a irreater than a Daniel, came to judgment. The
first resolution offered by the committee of whi.'h
Edward Hutchinson was the Chairman, falsely
and impudently styles the "Locofoco" party an
"Anti-American" organization ; that was very
modest in the Chairman, when every one who has
ever read the political history of th; United States,
knows that the democratic party has always been
the steadfast supporter of the UW-rties of the
country as well as the bold defender of the rights
of her citizens whether at home or abroad. The
chairman at the conclusion of the resolution speaks
of the "conservative doctrine" of Clay, Webster
and Scott as a sure guaranty that the institutions
of our country are safe. Has he ftrgottcn how in
1852, the General loved to hear the "rich Irish
brogue" and the "street German accent." If that
was conservative in Scott, the Whig party now is
destructive, in as much as its ally, its prop and its
hope, the Know Nothings, would a soon listen to
the unintelligible jargon of a South Sea Islander
as to the "rich brogue" of an Irishman or the
"sweet accent" of a German. But why pursue
this subject ; the people are honest and intelli
gent ; they read and reflect and are not to be
humbugged by such senseless glorifies tion of the
"conservative doctrines" of Clay, Webster and
Scott, all of which arc obsolete and will continue
to lie so, as long as the Whig party maintains its
present organization. Men of Cambria! it is
for you to decide which of the candidates is wor
thy of your support and in deciding, bear in mind,
that you decide for your posterity as well as your
selves. THE STATE DEBT REDUCED.
Our readers will, no doubt, 1 e pleased to hear
that, under the administration of our present able
Executive, the State debt has been largely reduced
during Lis present term of office. The Commis
sioners of the Sinking Fund have made a report
of their operations during the last three years,
from which we learn that there has Veen paid and
extinguished of the public debt of the Common
wealth five hundred and eleven thousand, one
hundred and fifty-nine dollars and thirty-one
cents, and the certificates of stock representing
that sum have been cancelled. In addition to
this, tho sum of two hundred and sixty-four
thousand one hundred and forty-two dollars e.f
relief notes have also been cancelled and destroy
ed. Laving a balance in the hands of the State
Treasurer, applicable to the samo purpose, of one
hundred and twenty-eight thousand six hundred
and forty-eight dollars and eighty-four cents,
making, in all, a reduction of nine hundred and
three thousand nine hundred and fifty dtilirs and
fifteen cents of the public debt. Think of this,
ye tax-payers, when you come to cast your votes
on the second Tuesday of October. The State
debt reduced nearly one mi'lion of dollars! The
Whigs have been endeavoring to create tho im
pirssion that' Governor Bigler had increased tho
public debt. What will they say now, in the face
of an official statement, showing that it has been
so largely reduced ? By an' economical adminis
tration of tho government, Governor Bigler has
been enabled to wipe out of existence this large
amount of indebtedness, and does he not elescrvo
the plaudit, "Well done, thou good and faithful
servant V
O-FIour is one dollar higher in New York
than in England, and wunowbat higher tlin
it is In California.
"It won't do. The letter of Henry S.
Mott won't do. . The Democrats Know that

see the new organization make such fearful
inroads among them. AUeghanian.
This is about the "coolest" we have yet
seen. The editor is continually twitting
Mr. Mott for his supposed connection with
Know-Nothingism, the whigs being the ac
cuscrs. It is all iwaginatic
of the editor. His wish is father
thought. If he will produce a number of the
Pennsylvanian, in which the editor of that
paper ever threatened to expose Henry S.
Jott, for the cause stated by tte AUeghanian,
w-3 will agree to vote an open ticket for
George Darsir, who has been thrown over
board by the Know Nothings because he was
born in Scotland, and was only six months
old when his mother brought him to this
country
"Do you pledge your faith as men and
editors that Henry S. Mott is not a Know
Nothing? Does his letter satisfy you that he is not a
member of that order l--Allcghanian.
We answer lo'.h questions as follows,
when a respectable man, and such we take
Henry S. Mott to be, is nominated for an ofr
fice, and a charge affecting either his moral
or political integrity is preferred against him,
and he publicly contradicts it, we are bound
by every principle of fair dealing to believe
him, until the truth of the accusation is
made out. If the editor of the 'Alleghenian'
was a candidate for office, and if a committee
of his fellow-citizens were to ask bim whether
he is a Know-Nothing, and he would contra
dict it over his own signature, we are ejuite
certain he would hold at a very low estimate
that mans intelligence who would question
his sincerity or the truth of what he said,
as long as it remained uncontradicted.
$r-The speech of Governor Bigler, at Mont
rose, Susquehanna county, will be found on onr
first page. We ask for it an attentive perusal.
The Governor has planted himself firmly on the
Democratic platform, and all the signs of the
times clearly indicate that he will be abundantly
sustained.by the people. What a different posi
tion eloes his Know-Nothing Whig competitor oc
cupy, and how little does the course of the latter
merit the favor of the honest portion of his own
party.

Our friend Gen. Bowman recently had occasion
to visit Meadville for the purpose of inspecting
the State arsenal located there, and in passing
through the city of Erie was warmly received.
The following notice of his visit we clip from the
Erie O'jsercer, and his address to the military
speaks for itself. All who have read the Bedford
Gazette we'd know the zeal with which he has for
years advocated the principles of the Democratic
party, and we are gratified to perceive that his
zeal in the present contest is not abated. We feel
well assured that either in a jxJitical or military
way he will still continue to fearlessly discharge
his duty.
A Military visit-
We were very much gratified the past week
by a visit from our esteemed cotemporary,
Gen. Bowman, of the Bedford Gazette, who,
in addition to editing one of the best Democ
ratic papers in the State, holds the responsib
le post of Adjutant General of the common
wealth. He was on route for Meadville, to in
spect the State Arsenal there. Politically,
the General is as enthusiastic as ever. He says,
and we have no doubt of the fact, that the
Gubernatorial question is already settled
that the only point yet uncertain is how large
Bigler's majority shall be This is conced
ed, he avers by the politicians of the various
parties who have visited Bedford Springs dur
ing the past few weeks. It is not, however,
of the political aspect of affairs that we were
about to speak; but of the enthusiastic and
gratifying reception our Gciman military
friends exten led to the Gen. upon his return
from Meadville, on Saturday. Soon after it
was ascertained the General bad arrived, the
Battalion formed upon the Public Square in
military order, and sei;t in a deputation of
officers to request the pleasure of an introduct
ion. The General promptly complied, and
was introduced by Gen Killpatrick. In
reply to the enthusiastic greeting with which
he was received, he said that it was as unex
pected as it was gratifying that he appeared
before that Battalion, which he was proud to
see, was one of the most soldier like and best 1
drilled in the State. My business, continued
the General, in visiting Pennsylvania's lake
city, is not for the purpose of meeting officers
either military or political; neither is it to in
spect soldiers or congratulate citizens. He
was merely returning from the State Arsenal
in an adjoining county where his official duty
had called him. Nevertheless, he continued,
such a demonstration, so entirely unexpected,
upon this his first visit to the consecrated
ground of Perry, he was free to say was high
ly gratifyiug. He had reviewed and inspected
troops, Jie said, in various parts of the State,
when they were leaving to defend the honor of
of their country in Mexico he had also per
formed the same duty wit'i these who had just
returned from the field of glory and from the
soldierly bearing of those he was then address
ing, he had no doubt that if their country re
quirel th?ir services, they would be the first
to volunteer to go, and the lxst to leave where
danger lurked. Like the gallant Capt. Bin
der's company, every man of whom spoke in
that "sweet German accent" so relished by the
gallant Scott, and who fought with unexamp
led bravery from Vera Cruz to the Gates of
Mexico, he had no doubt those who then stool
before him, would not stop to enquire, before
they obeyed the orders of their commander in
chief, what were his political affinities, or the
namerof the temple wherein he knelt before the
God of battles Neither would their Cora
midcr in Chk'f ?k thm wb;re tbv ww
born, or under what sectarian creed they ;
worshiped. Tho experience of '76, said be,
the war of 1812, and our war with Mexico,,
has settled the question that those who have
fled from the tyranny and oppression of the
world, and have made their homes in the "
land of the free," have as strong arms and as
brave hearts have as much veneration and
love for the land that has given them a shel
ter as though they were born upon the soil;
and hence, let me assure you all, whether nat-
on the parfn'e oradopted, that neither your Commander
. I in Chh-f, nor bis Adjutant General, will have
ither to tlje M. , , t.i , j;a,;m:f.
no UlIlvliM LI Ui 1119 ptSUJIAJU ttl ua uimliuiiuir
ing against any man or sect of men on account
of their birth place or their religion! For thisr
continued he, is the country where merit alone
must continue to give value to the man, or
the blood of those who achieved the liberties
we enjoy, has been shed in vain. It is the
country where God is worshiped according to
the dictates of the conscience of those who
bow in His presence: the country where er
ror of religion or politics may be tolerated if
truth be left free to combat it; the country,
in short, where the life of fanaticism is short,
and religious intolerance, whether practiced
by Protestant or Catholic, falls by its own
hand, and is despised as soon as dead. The
General concluded by thanking his military
friends kindly for the flatterin" notice taken
of him, and then escorted by the Band, the
committee of reception, and a few personal
friends, retired to his Hotel. When he re
tired, the Battalion crave three cheers for the
rCommander in Chief, and three for his elo
quent Adjutant General, and then after fir
ing thirteen rounds, in honor of our glorious
old commonwealth, disbanded.
Upon the whole the affair was one of much
interest, and calculated to have a m jst happy
effect upon the military spirit of our citizen
soldiers. In connection wiih this, we have
the pleasure of announcing that after due ex
amination of the matter, the Adjutant Gen
eral has concluded to grant the application of
our muitarv. made sometime since, for a full
ml ' '
battery of artillery.
Things to be Remembered.
During Gen. Washington's administration
a law was enacted by Congress, with his ap
probation, granting the rights of naturaliza
tion and citizenship to Foreigners after a re
sidence of two years in the country. This
was altered by the Federal administration of
the elder Adams, who succeeded Washington,
to fourteen years I But when Mr. Jefferson,
the great Apostle of Democracy, came into
power in 1801, the time of probation was re
duced to five years, where it has ever since
remained In his first Message to Congress,
Mr. Jefferson said :
I cannot omit recommending a revisal of
the laws on the subject of naturalization Con
sidering the ordinary chances of human life,
a denial of citizenship under a residence of
fourteen years is a denial to a great portion
of those who ask it, and controls a policy
pursued from their first settlement by many
of these States, and still believed of conse
quence to their posterity. And shall we re
fuse the unhappy fugitive from distress that
hospitality which the savages of the wilder
ness extended to our fathers, arriving in this
land ? Shall oppressed humanity find' no asy
lum on this globe? The Constitution, in
deed, has wisely provided that, for admission
to certain offices of important trust, a resi
dence shall be required sufficient to develop
character and design. But might not the
general character and capabilities of a citizen
be safely-communicated to every one mani
festing a bona fide purpose of embarking his
life and fortunes permanently witti us.
On this great and broad Democratic plat
form the country has securely rested and pros
pered for fifty years and now, after the
lapse of half a century, are the prescriptive,
intolerant Federal doctrines of old John
Adams sought to be revived in all their hated
and bloated deformity, by a batch of corrupt,
unprincipled demagogues, who would, if they
had the power, trample the Constitution of the
Republic under foot, ifsobethat, upon its
ruins, they might crawl into power.
James Pollock, the Whig and Know-Nothing
candidate for Governor, is one of these
miserable, rovelling demagogues and it is
for the people of Pennsylvania to pronounce
their verdict of condemnation upon him at
the ballot boxes on the second Tuesday of
October. That they will do so, no reasonable
man can doubt for a moment. They turned
their backs upon the elder Adams with loathing
and disgust, and they will do the same with
the contemptible demagogue who is following
in his footsteps.
(fcj-It will be seen by an advertisement in an
other column that Dr. B. M. Gilde'a has pur
chased the good will and fixtures of the office
lately occupied by Dr. S. Bclford in Hollidays-
burg. Dr. G. is lately from liarrisburg; no comes
