KING. I"h8 long been a subject of complaint with Mr.. King, that he could n A obtain a nomination f rorn his party, for Assembly, Congress or some other equally valuable and responsible situation ; during the last ten' years, his efforts have leen most strenuous, and his complaints at want of success bitter and unceasing. But at length, "things has worked :' "it never rains but it pours," and Mr. King now appears before tho voters of this Representative district with no less than THREE NOMINATIONS ; we will give thra in the chronological order in which they were conferred upon h;m. la June, Mr. King received the nomination of the.Whig County Convention of Cambria; some few. weeks afterwards he received a nomination from trie so-called Temperance Conference, of Cambria, Ijodford and Fulton ; this nomination was made altogether ''upon the sly ;" little or nothing was said about it in Cambria county particularly in the northern townships, in which localities it was feared Mr. King's prospects would bo injured, should this fact come to the knowledg of his party ; now, however, on the tvo of th election, the fact is proclaimed, and tho tickets as truck at the whig offices have the names cfGeorge S. King and Peter Schill upon them ; Mr. S hell has heretofore been a good Loco Fooo, and is v pu tai s unuuua vt uiiiuiisi .tilt oviil ar concerned, p. -.hey .Mr. King received the nomination No. 3 from the "KNOW-NOTHINGS" at he poll of their member in this district, held within the last two weeks; as of course they give tho preference to members of their own body, Mr. King had very littb trouble in making the point ; most candi date are puzzled to put on one good face ; Mr. King has rather an advantage, he can put on three ; a celebrated character known as Judas Iscariot. has been 'damned to everlasting fame' by the epithet .icoac" if Judas lived in ouf days, his time wuuld be 'beat by one,' we.-e he to - come in eoutact with Mr. King or any of the po liticians of the new WUIG-TSMI'ERANCE- .

I nin JAMES J: WILL- We wish to say a wenrd or two in relation to our candidate for Register and Recorder, a worthy young man who Has been vilified and abuteJ fiom the moment of his nomination until the present time : nothing has been left untried by his ene mies, ajrd the enemies uf the Democratic party, to I) lacken bis cLaracter; a persecution has been got up' against him, disgraceful not only to those engaged in it, but even to the community which would allow it to pass uuheeded. Mr. Will is a young man of good business qualifications, industrious, moral, and although not versed in the tricks and manoeuvres of politi cians, will compare advantageously in every re spect with his Whig and "Know Nothing" com petitor, Mr. Barbour. Among the malicious charges which have been so industriously circulated by Mr. Will's enemies, is this: that he is a native American, Know- Nothing, or whatever name they may give them selves : now we know that this charge is absolute ly false : Mr. WiLt has no connection and never had with any set of men professing such prin ciplesprinciples upon which lie in common with the members of his party, looks with detestation. Thin charge lias been grot up and circulated, bnly for the pur pone of dlhtracllngr attention from Darbonr, who Is now positively known to be a member "of the Know-Xothlng order, and to have received the nomination from the Know-Xotli-lngr lodges in this county within the last two weeks when those lodges or councils were polled for the pur pose of selecting1 a county, ticket We say that it is positively known, that Mr. Barbour was selected as the for Re gister andMv.King for Assembly. Yet, these same men shamelessly turn about and fry to make political capital againsj Mr. Wii.l , by charging Lim with being a member of the Anti-American, unconstitutional association to which they themselves belong ! a charge so outrageously, so insanely fake, that it is a matter of astonishment, that 'amy man of common intelligence ever listened to it. This crusade against Mr. Will has produced its natural consequence a reaction in his favor. The J eople of our county are actuated by a sense of justice ; they will not suffer au honest, deserv ing young man to bo tomahawked, to make sport for unpriucip!d politicians! On next Tuesday his friends will be f und at their posts ; we can assure his enemies that they will have a rough time of it. THE FINAL RALLY.

On next Tuesday, you will be called upon to discharge the niost sacred and important right belonging to you as citizens of a free Commonwealth; the privilege of depositing in the ballot-box a ' silent but decisive ex pression of your judgment in reference to the official conduct of Gov. Bigler. The Demo cratic party presents him to you for your suff rages for a second term. Three years ago you endorsed his devotion to the great prin ciples of the democratic faith his integrity as a man and his capacity and fitness for a faithful discharge of the responsible duties of Chief Magistrate of the Commonwealth. If he has discharged those duties ably and with an eye single to the best interests of the State, he deserves and will receive your cor dial support ; if he has failed to do so, you, in the exercise of a right enjoyed only by freemen, will wrest from him the power which you aided to confer and transfer it to another. lias Gov. Bigles proved recreant to the high trust reposed in him ? Has he shown want of capacity or lacked in steadfast devotion to the cherished rights and dearest interests of our citizens ? Let his official acta answer and to them we confidently appeal He may have committed errors, for that is one of the frail ties of humanity, but we claim, and his poli tical enemies dare not deny its justice, that in all things, he has proven himself the fa-sl friend of the people the fearless and elo quent advocate of liberty in its largest and most comprehensive meaning a democrat in principle as well aa in action. He seeks not your votes by. baaely pandering to the steaUhy efforts of a mitlnight secret association, whose base purpose It is to rob a portion of you of your political as well as your natural rights He is no bigot. He will not aid in erecting a sta.ke a which to immolate his neighbour because he does not worship at the same altar with himself; nor will he attempt to degrade and dishonor a m whose misfortune it is not to have first beheld the ligb of the sun on American soil. He can look beyond the narrow walls of hi own Church, and far be yond the limits of his own country and meet the exile from foreign oppression as a true American oHght to meet him, with a welcome haid to a peaceful and hospitable home not with fanatical grasp to a political grave. He will neither strike down the adherents of a particular faith, nor the helpless and unfortu nate, who fleeing from tyranny and thanking God that his feet have at last touched the soil of freedom, finds to his dismay that the spirit of persecution, is before as well as be hind him and ' 'meets with a scourge when he the olive branch of neace the sword and dan ger of relentless bigotry." If his opponent James Pollock is not grossly slandered he is a member of this detestable order. It has been charged upon him by the democratic press troni one end of the btate to the other not a vague and uncertain accusation based upon mere rumor but a told, distinct and. i pointed declaration of its truth but it has called forth no denial from the Whig cjidi date nor from any of his friends.

Sec. 4.

Sec. 5. Be it enacted, c, That from and after the passage of this act, it shall not be lawful fr any person not born within the limita of the Uulted States of America, to travel within this Commonwealth without having first obtained a passport, .to be granted by the Secretary of the Commonwealth, (if he should deem it proper,) containing therein a full and accurate description of his or her person, age, birthplace and occupation, which must be shown if required, to. do so by any mayor, alderman, magistrate t justice of the peace, constable, police officer, railroad con ductor or agent, stage driver or captain of any canal boat, under the same penalties as are prescribed in the second section of this act. Here is a f At and faithful exhibit of the real intentions of this secrej order with which the De mocracy is contending. Not only are certain ci tizous to be deprived of all political power and rights guaranteed to them by the. Constitution, but their civil and business rights are. -to , be at tacked and destroyed, if Jtho majority of th Lei gisiature is with the Know-Nothingr in their anti republican measures. No man who is not a Na tive, can bold or exercise any office in the militia of the State, or in any hanking, railroad, coal or manufacturing company. This Is the proposition in the two first sections of the proposed law. Is not this a step further than our sober, reflecting citizens are willing to follow the lead of a secret order in thisfrec land 1 Can it bo possible that the civil rights of a large port'., -n of industrious, intelligent, meritorious citizens are to be broken up, and, themselves reduced to a condition lower than the serfs of Russia or they can purchase their civil freedom a "boon which is to hfl dtaied American citizens by this proposed act of Know Nutldng despotism. But this attack does not terminate with civil and s ocial liberty. The bitter spirit of re'igiuus animosity is seen in the 4th section, which pro ioses to mnke a .direct union of Church and State, by prohibiting any man, not b$rn in the United States, from exercising rhe holy calling of a mi nister of the gospel, without first having obtaiaed a license from the Governor of the Commonwealth. What does tliis mean but mingling the affairs of the ??te with those of the church ? Jf all the ministers oi gospel who weie not born iu tLL country, are to bow to t&e Governor of the Com monwealth for the liberty to preach, look where it will end M'tsrs. Cliambers and Newton, and tho dsands of other pious and patriotic clergymen vyill be daily at the mercy of the Governor. lie caa exercise a censorship over the pulpit of the most despotic character. One dash of his pen and hundreds of congregations in the State will be deprived. We need uot argue this point ; it is plain to every man of sense, that this proposition af the Know Nothing order is a direct effort to bring abous a union of Church and State. The 5th section is designed to establish in this State that system of espionago hit tiw affairs of every man not born, on the soil, which is so much detested in Europe. No adopted citizt-n of the Un"tt:d States, by the provisions of this section, can travel in this State, without first having pro cured a passport fcom the Secretary of the Com momveulth, and then he is to be subjectex1. to the prying ee and petty ofEcioUniiess of every under agent of the different localities through which, he may pass, for the lines cf communication used in traveling. . What effect will this have upon the business of this Commonwealth, to say nothing of the monstrous attempt to introduce a feature of T I .lorvitism into this fre coutrv ? Docs hoi every Kne tw the r,5Sa2e of i.uch a law wou ld I I cause this State to be shunned although a pesti lence lingered in each valley and walked with free foot upon tho mountain tops? No man will subject himself to the trouble of procuring pass port, and then to the into erant exactions of a Know-Nothing officials. Tho tide of trade and tr.ivcl will be turned aside, and men will seek in J 0tb...-r States markets for their produce, and a mart at whbh to make their purchases. The J great lines of internal improvement which now bring the capital of other States to us, wi;i ce cooperatively useless under the operation of such a law as that proposed to be enactted by the Know-Nothings.

Mott We are gratified to learn that the otter falsitj of the charge which has been vaguely made against this gentleman of a connection with the order commonly called Know-Nothings is nqw generally understood. We know Mr, Mott well. lie is a Democrat from sincere conviction, warmly attached to the principles of our party, and we do -not be lieve he would prostitute himself by joining such an organization to be elected to any of fice in the nation. He is made of sterner stun, and with those who know him intimately and know how ardently and sincerity he has ever been attached to, and how ' thoroughly hia whole nature is imbued with. Democratic- sen timents, any such allegation againzt him is simply ridiculous. The charge was never sincerely made by the Whig press, but mere ly aa a foil to the true accusation against Judge Pollock. If any whig editor possessed positive information upon which to base such a charge, he must necessarily Lave been enabled to have ascertained from, the same source,- when and where Mr. M. joined - their order, but no one has ever attempted to make any such specific allegation;- for the treason that its utter falsity would promptly be shewn; Independent of Mr. Mott's unequivocal denial of the charge in his letter, he haa repeatedly done so in private circles in a manner which carried conviction to the minds of every one, and which would satisfy the most skeptical man in the univers. But in addition to this, we have hia own personal authority, not only for declaring in the most positive terms that he Defer joiped their organization, but that he haa never been officially iuformed of their determination to make him their candidate. We desire further to state, that we think, we have Siven our readers, during the last few months, conclusive evidence of our abili ty to ascertain the -secret movements of the Know-Nothings, and to lay bare their most hidden operations. And we most emphatical ly declare, that we have unequivocally learn ed from the same sources which have furnish ed us with tho information we have publish ed heretofore, that Col. Mott does not belong to their order. The wellrinformod portiou of the Know Nothings are perfectly aware of this fact; although some ox them may be mis informed in regard to it. If the Know-Nothings support Col. Mott, it will be solely because Mr. Darsie was born in Scotland, and their oaths require them to prevent his election, if they can. It is, with them, a choice of evils between Jbtt, a De mocrat who has no connection whatever, with their order, and Darsie, a nembr of -the class they are sworn to proscribe. . We think we haye done our fnll 6hare in exposing Know-NotLingLsui to public odium. and we have not the subtest disposition to shield any man, be ho Democrat or Whig, who has joined their unholy coHtbinatjon from th? eandemnation ne justly mens. But knaw- ine as we do, r, Jott s entire innocence of any such connection, we trttst that no Demo crat will allow an unjust and groundless sus picion to deter bin: from giving his support to a man iu everv way worthy 01 it, ana a man who is eminently well qualified for the faith ful discharge of the duties of the office for which he has been nominated. Col." Henry S. Kott The LieT Ecfirted- A chance for a law suit is now offered to any Whig editor who wants one. From our personal acquaintance with Col. Mott, we have no doubt he will keep his word as pro mised in the I cnnsyiranian of the "Mil ult., from which we make the following extract. It is rather long, but wc ask our readers to read the whole of it. It proves beyond a doubt that the eharge that Mr. Mott is a Know-Nothing, is a base lie: "That Col. Mott never joined and is not new a member of their organization and that he has nO sympathy with their principles, is a fact as well known to the well informed por tion of the Know-Nothings as it is to our selves. The following resolutions of the De mocracy of Pike county, the home of Mr Mott, at the recent county meeting, fully show the sentiments of the party in that re- gion, and bow they view the charge that has been made against him : Resolved, That Henry S. Mott, our nomi nee for Canal Commissioner, is in every re- stect Qualified for the oflice, and will carry into onr Canal Board a sound economical practscal policy, and an unyielding hostility in iTtravaimt exTvnditurcs upon our 1 uhlic Works, which will be highly benencial to the State ; that this Democracy is vouched for by us as Pike county Democracy, which is alike unshaken by abolitionism or xvnow-i othing conspiracies.

He meets the is sue in a manly spirit, and we here now chal lenge any paper in this State to make the charge in the manner we have done against Judge Pollock, and assure them aud our read ers that it will at once result in a strict legal investigation of the whole subject, and prove with all the satisfactory clearness of a judicial examination the utter and entire falsity of this base and unfounded accusation ajai:i.t Col Mott. So far aa the action of the Know- Nothings is concerned, Mr Mott has never been officially iuformed of their determina tion to make him. their candidate, nor has ha in any way made any exertions or pledges to cure such action on their part, nor in any secure such action on their part, nor in any manner whatever compromised his character as a Democrat by forming entangling allian ces with any organization outside of our The Pittsburgh Union sayg : "It is aeldom we find anything La the New York Tribune, so much to the point M the following.

They were nearly all Romao Catholics, from the southern cantons of Swit zerland, whom Austria so ruthlessly expelled from Lombardy after the suppression of the last revolt in Milan, accounting them natural born Republicans and Revolutionists; and we suppose Austria is not a Know-Nothing en this point. We never heard the Catholic of Hungary accused of backwardness in the Uts glorious fctruggle of their oountry for freedom, though iU leaders were Protestant, fighting against a leading Catholic power avowedly ja favor of religious as well aa Civil liberty And chivalric unhappy Poland almost whoUj. Catholic, has made as gallant struggles for freedom as any other nation whild of the thre despotisms that crushed her, but one wae Catholic. We do not hope to stop the cru sade of intolerance and violence now setting against the Catholics, calling for their disfran chisement, and threottning their temporary exclusion from all public trusts. Epidemiol of this sort must have their course and thia one has some truth and a large amount of honest bigotry, on which to base its opera tions. Quite a number whose religion uever till now did them much good or harm will ride into office on the back of their resonant Protestantism-, and that will be the end of the matter The Naturalization Laws will remain essentially as they are ; and Know-Nothing-ism will give place to some new fashion Iu polkio1, perhaps equally factitious, after a few chrnges cf the moon." THE DEMOCRACY AROUSED ! Meeting In Surutoertilll Tonniblp. The Democracy of Summerhill and the ad joining townships, assembled iu council at th house of James D.

Patrick Bracken, of Conemaugh, Caspar Diniond, of Sommer- hill, Michael Stewart, of Conemaugh borough. aud L. !?chrott, of Carroll, V ice Presidents, and William Palmer and B. R.

The friends of the Constitution in Summerhill are thoroughly a.-vused, and wi.l 1 m . t . i give a good account oi themselves on the secind 1 uesday of Uctober The following Preamble and roolution were offered by C.
