Congress in the District composed of Clinton.

and will be an honor to the Pennsylvania
Delegation,
,Hon. Henry S. Mott.
We publish in another column two articles
4rm the" Pennsylvanian, in relation to the
'charge brought against our candidate fur
'Canal Commissioner, if being connected with
the' 6o-called order of "Know-Nothings."
When tho charge was made, it naturally ex
" cited soinc' attention and inquiry amoiig the
voters of our county. The charge has been
thoroughly investigated and we nave thesa-
tisfaction of knowing that it is altogethcr'Vith-

We a.sk the voters of Cambria to give the
articles from the Pennsylvanian a careful p
rusal ; they will be found clear and conclu
pive ; our Statj ticket is free from the slight-i-st
stain of suspicion
OE02JBE 3. 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-
. KNOW-NOTHING school.
We have a suspicion that Mr. King will find
thai his friends hare done him honor over much;
he vul be crushed under tfit load of th f ivort
)oijtfd ujxm him.

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.

Secretary of the Navy.
We observe by our Exchange that there is
a likelihood of the election of Hon. J as. C
Dobbin, the r.Vcscnt Secretary of the Navv, to

the names of Messrs. Mallery of Florida,
and Dodge of Iowa are mentioned as candi
dates for the Secratarysdiip, in the event of
Mr. Dobbin s resignation.
We are of opinion that the appointment of
Mr. Mallery would give general satisfaction ;
he evidently possesses a talent and ap'itude
for tho complicated and important duties of
that station, and in his reports to the senate,
on uaval affairs, he baa shown a disposition to
introduce wholesome and much needed re
forms ; in fact we would consider the appoint
ment of Mr. Mallery in itself a reform. That
Department has too often of late years been
confided to men who whfere inexperienced

DEMOCRACY OF
CAMBRIA!!!
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.

while it involves no duty of secrecy, still gives to
it all the certainty of legal proof. Read the pro
posed law to be enacted if the State Legislature
passes into the hands 0 the Knov.-Nothmgs :
Sec. 1. Be it enacted, c., That from and
after the nassace of this act, it shall not be
lawful for any person not born within tne
limits of the United States of America to hoia

or otherwise: in the militia of this Common
wealth, under a penalty of five hundred do!

this Commonwealth.
Sec. 2. Be it enacted, c. That it shall
not be lawful for any person not born within

any other office, place or employment in any

surance Company, or other agency whatso
ever, under the same penalties aB arc pre
scribed in the second section of this act.
Sec. 4. Be it enacted, c, That from and
after the passage of this act, it shall not be
lawful for any person .not born within the
limits of the United States of America, to of
ficiate as a Clergyman, Minister, Jtabbi,
Elder, .Bishop, or any other Ecclesiastical or
other Church office, without having first ob
tained from the Governor of this Common
wealth a license to do and perforin the same.
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.
The principles contained in this Know-Noth

CoL Henry S. 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.

while c.a tje -other hand wo Lav6 Mr. Mott's

will at once institute against it a prosecution

thoroughly investigated. He meets the is
