,Wo. trust our democratic friends will not consi
der us as premature, in calling their attention to
the importance of effecting an immediate and Uwr-r
oagh organization of the party, in every election
district in the Commonwealth, for the purpose of
rallying our forces for the approaching campaign,
fo that we may be fully prepared to take the first
step at the General . Election next fait, towards
redeeming the " Old Keystone," from the grasp
of the demagogues and bigots who now lord it over
ber. If we succeed at that time in securing a D(v
mocratic majority in both branches of the Legis
lature, and it will be our own fault if we do not,
the law making power 'will once more be vested
in honest anil patriotic hands. Our Know-Nothr
ing Governor will be rendered powerless for evil
and at the expiration of his terra of office, the
reign of intolerance on the soil of Pennsylvania
will cease forever. ' ." ' . L
We can see no good . reason why we should be
cast down or discouraged at the recollection of our
defeat last fall. It was by no means a fair test of
the relative strength of Democracy, and Know
Notbingism, for thousands of honest and patriotic
Whigs who cast their votes for Mr. Pollock, would
never have done so, had they known that thereby
they were securing the election of a traitor that
had basely betrayed them, and the triumph of a
band of midnight conspirators ; and now that they
perceive the fraud that was practiced, upon them,
they are ready to assist us in ousting the traitor
and his adherents from power, and in placing the
reina of government in safe and. honest hands. -.?
The result of the late municipal election in Piil
adelphia, tlie scene of the earliest triumph of
Knrtw-Kothmgism,1 shows that the day is break
ing, that "fanaticism and wild excitement are be-1
ginning to give way before calm reason, and that
the people are thoroughly convinced of the folly of
placing their rights at the disposal of a secret oath-
broken down politicians, whose principal tenet is,
that freedom to worship God in the manner that
his centcieuce tails him is right, is not one of the
inalienable rights of wan.' - . :
' But we must not forget, that if we would regain
our former ascendancy in. tkia'stafc, wo rnut be
up aud doing, and' that if we are not united, ac-r
tivp, and vigilant during the contest, if our can
didates ari not men who are known to have never,
tampered with Know-Nothingisin; and; who scorn
to hare' anything to do with it either, directly or
indirectly, we will, most assuredly, suffer ah igno
minious and overwhelming defeat. Every Demo
erat should remember that the time for action has
arrived, that he has a part to perform in the good
work of redeeming Pennsylvania from Know-Nothing
misrule, and that if he . would perform it
well, he. must at ,once "put his shoulder to the
wheel, pray to God for, success, and push on the
column;" r. ;., . , : --..i.';. ,
"' . " Death' of Judge Longstreth. ;
It is always a mournful duty to record the
death of a good man; but , still the sadness is
not unalloyed with pleasure. . We grieve for
departed worth, but at the same time rejoice
to know, that humanity has vindicated, the ob
ject of its creation, in presenting an upright
being. In the death pf .Morris Longstreth
society has lost one of her best citizens, his fam
ily a devoted father and his friends a compan

noblest character, because they were as unob
trusive as they were sincere and free from self
ishness. "For many years he wa3 an active
member of the Democratic iparty, and was hon

which he filled with the greatest credit to him
self and the people. 1 Subsequently, he became

ppected and esteemed. V In him all the virtues
so gently mingled, that even his fiercest polit

Connected with the Roman Catholic faith from
the deepest conviction; he shamed his assailants
on this ground by a life of purity, and a spirit
of Christian forgiveness. lib heart was as ex

BEOWNSOU AND KDIKEL
Political Souanuts 4 German Inidelst :
P
Our readers i well know, how earnest " we
have been in denouncing the Know Nothing
order. -It is nn-Christian, because it seeks
to revive that which our Saviour' came to
break down, the ancient and odious . national
egotism which made Jew, and Greek, and
Roman, look upon each other with . haughti
uess and disdain. It is un-Democratic, ; be
cause it strives to destroy that equality of
rights and privileges, which is the foundation
of all. Republicanism, and which withholds
nothing from virtue and talent, beneath what
ever sun or sky they may have originated ur
matured. . It is despotic, because it works not
in the open day, but beneath the cover of mid
night, and binds the conscience of its adhe
rents with fearful and illegal oaths. .Never
theless while thus: denouncing the Know
Nothing fanaticism, it equally devolves upon
us to vindicate ourselves from the ; charge of
supporting either Political Romanism, or Po
litical Infidelity. . -. . . ' . ' ',. . .
Of the Political Romanists, such men as
BroWKSON, of the Quarterly, and Rakewril,
of the late Sfiepard of the Valley, are tho rep
resentative men "'" They are renegades - from
their early creed, and like all other renegades,
preach with the utmost seal the extremest doc
trines of their present faith. They talk and
act like men of the Middle Ages, born out of
due ' season, into the nineteenth century.
Their ideal of the Church is that of the days
of Hildebrand when the barefooted Henry
stood a suppliant at his gate, for three days in
the winter's cold. ' They take pride in preach,
ing the. temporal supremacy of the Pope.
They curse these degenerate days, when such
claims are not recognized, as devoid of rever
ence and faith. They are opposed to popular
enlightenment. -'They teach that the common
people should not be taught to read and think.
The Church should be their sole instructress.
Freedom of thought and inquiry among the
masses, might lead them to deny her- divine
authority,1 and so cause 1 their- damnation.
They are opposed to the union of Church and
State, because, say they, the Church should
be supreme over the State. . It should rule
the State. . The Pope has a divine right to
absolve subjects from their oath of allegiance,
and to depose Kings, Emperors, and Presi
dents. .. " " ; j
, IIow many Catholice believe in these insane
ravings? Not one in ten thousand, we com
pute. ' Their creed contains no such articles.
Here and there a Catholic periodical, such as
the Catholic Mirror, of Baltimore, protests
against them. And there are. hundreds of
thousands of good and true men, such as Jo
seph R. Chasdleh. who only need an oppor
tunity, such as he had in Congress, to declare
that if the Pope were to land an army upon
our shores, they would be the first in arms to
oppose him. It is the same way . in Europe.
No Catholic nation there, acknowledges the
temporal supremacy of the Pope. '. Even in
the most Catholic times, the most Catholic
countries, such as England and France, asser
ted fiercely the independence of their National
Churches. . The old English statute books'
prior to the Reformatian, are full of acts Par-'
liainec., restraining the power of the Fcpe's
legates. And the , Gallican Church fought
long and fiercely, until it obtained a concession
o f lia 1 iavt ff . , .
- Such men as , Bkowxson and ; Baekwell,
have done the Catholic Church in America,
incalculable injury. .They have done it the
more, because they. have written .under high
ecohciastical sanction; and because they have
the Catholic pres3 chiefly in their, bands.:
Tby: have Etirrcd up bitter enniity against
millions of their innocent brethern, who would
rather die than aid - to carry into execution
such doctrines. - Such fanatics do by bo means
express the belief of the Catholic millions.
They acknowledge the Pope as their spiritual
head, while we feel assured they would -: be a
mong the foremost to rebel any aggression of
the Papal Power npon our beloved land.. . , ;
- Our German 'American citizens are - in like
manner cursed with a set of men - who assume
to be their organs only to misrepresent the
vjews of an infinite majority of them. ? They
are principally men who have found Ger-i
many too hot to hold them, since the re-action
which succeeded the' Revolution o1848.
They have come to this country, ; cherishing
the most leveling' ideas. Because an unjust
government has opposed them,- therefore all
gOvermente are odious iu their eyeg. : r Be
cause the laws have unjustly condemned them
therefore ail laws should b.' abrogated. - Be
causeKings and Priests have ; unjustly des
Spoiled them, they affirm there is no right of
property," and that ' all property, is robbery.
Because they have lived under a corrupt form
of Christianity, therefore all religion is a shaia
and a delusion. " Atheists, without a God; or
Pantheists, holding themselves to as Gods,
they deny all moral - accountability.- i. They
go for the abnegation of all government, all
law, all religion, and all social .institutions.
They wish no rule, save that of the individual
will. What is all this, but a relapse into bar
barian savagery, where - tho strongest rules,

,Ve do not hesitate to charge the two clas
ses' we ' have'dclineated.'ag the Political Ro

rwponsible for the rise and progress of Know
Nothing'sm. ' Our German citizens are judged
by tbe bombastie'rant of Kinkel; and our
Catholic citizens by the half treasonable tenets
oflifiOWNgox, . . ' i
From all sympathy' with such men nd such
doctrines, we absolve ourselves. ' But wrong
as they are, we would not willingly see a just
right taken from them.;1 And we are opposed

Before my letter reaches you, you will prob
ably have received, intelligence of a loss "that
will spread a gloomy veil over all Russia;, for
the death of such a man 5s a blow that not only
strikes his own country but resounds from the
Bhores of the whole world. In my last letter
I did not dare openly declare .what; we were
expecting from day to day, for we wero un
willing to accustom our hearts to anjdea which
our minds were incapable : of .conceiving.
The last days of the Czar are a whole century
in the history of Russia, and will never be for
gotten by those who witnessed them. Do not
imaging that ihe was exasperated with his
foes. . Quite to the contrary ! i Impartially,
like a prophet, he gazed upon the present sit
uation of the different European powers, and
predicted the future with the accuracy of one
who looks far beyond the present. . ; ; V f .
England" said he, " has reached her cul
minating point either for life or death. There
is no middle point for her to pursue..;. Onoj
thing alone may save her and that is, a free
confession, not only by the government, - but
by the -whole aristocracy, made to the people;
that the Crown is unable any longer to main
tain its power ; and that the people must rise
and unite together as one man to save the
honor and preserve the. independence of the
country. A candid acknowledgement of the
truth may even now save England if her cor
rupt aristocracy can be brought to the stool of
confession. France, on the contrary; can
maintain herself only by falshood and -deception.
The Emperor may proclaim to his sub
jects that he governs and influences the affairs
of all Europe, and that not a shot can be fired
without his permission, and that: France is
the first power. in Europe; but a single shock,
one speech of a demagogue; . may overthrow
him and darken the star of Napoleon forever,

conciliation but he refused it. lie wishes to

sia, they would not now exist if I had not
saved them when they crouched at my - feet

is left to me in the midst of all this ingratitude
and villany-and that is; the silent sympathy
of that high-hearted people on the other side
of the Atlantic, the only hearts in which I
hear an echo of my struggles against united
Europe. Never have I forgotten the smallest
kindness shown me by the least of my subjects.
Let my children never forget what we owe to
America; and if ever an hour of danger dark
ens around tho Union, let her find a faithful
ally in my family.' ,. :.j , V, . ; ;
These words may be of interest to you, my
friend, because you are now living amongst
the Americans : and I mention them know

foreign bind nearly half a century.: One learns
to recognise his true friends in the hour of
danger, and you -may rely upon it that as long
as a Romanoff sits on . Russia's throne, , the
the America States will never need a friend.

Yesterday (Tuesday) morning, Mr. Wilson and
M. I. Thomas, constable, provided with a war-'
rant, started down the canal to arrest the wife of
Hubbard, whom late development rendered it
highly probable that she was an accomplice in the
murder of Boyles. They succeeded to Mr. Gardi
ner's works, five miles weit of town, where they
found the women and arrested her.'. Mr. Loveland
suggested to Mr Wilson that suspicions were
entertained that the Hubbard's Lad murdered a
whole family last f;UL. ... , , ?
As socni as Mr. Wilson heard, this; lie, in com
pany with Mr. Lovelaud, went to the house of Mr.
Fisher, where tlicy ascertaintxl that some time in
September last, this Hubbard family went to board
with a family by the name of French, who then
lived in the cabin since occupied by the II ubbai da.
This trench family consisted of seven persons, the
father, mother - and five children. They were a
very poor family that Lad been li ring in the
neighborhood six or seven years, and were well
known by the neighbors. During last summer,
the old man French had raised a small patch of j
corn and some garden ttufl', the whole of which,
together with the furniture was not worth over fifty
dollars.. . Sometim in October, Mr. Lewis, near
neighbor went to the cabin of French to purchare
his corn. lie as met at tlie fence in front of the
cabin by the Hubbards,and was told that the night
before, Mr. Frehche's . brother Lad come along
with a wagon, and had taken Mr. Frenchc's wl.ole
family away with him, and had started for'Illi-'
nois, and that they Lad purchased all thfirthingH
including tlie com; garden and fumitnre. : A day
or two afterwards, Mr. Strarnes Fisher-, went over
to inquire, if the French; needed any assistance,
and was met in the same way . by the Hubbards,
and was told the same story. .... .
: No suspicions were entertained at the time that
foul play had been used and nothing occurred
until after the body of Boylcs had been found and
the llubbards were arrested. It then began to be
thought these monsters had murdered the whole
family. On hearing these statements, Mr. Wilson
determined to go and search the premises. He
then went down to Gardiner's works, and procur
red a shovel and pick and tried to get some one to
go witt him. JNoone, however bclievea tne storya
and so no one volunteered to go. While they were
talkiug, Mr. Thomas came up, and he and Mr.'
Wilson proceeded to Ilubbanls,' and found th e
door locked. They drew the staple with the pick,
and entered the house. They found the floor rais
ed, and some dirt removed. Mr. Miles Morgan,
constable, had been there a short time previous
searching, and Lad discovered a piece of skull
bone and gone away. They then proceeded to
dig away the dirt, and soon discovered the body
of an infant, very much decaj-cd. Thej- immedi
ately left; and came up to town and got the
Coroner, who summoned a jury, consisting of
Stearnes Fishor, J. Lewis, D. ttrooks, F. .love
laud, M. W. fctober, and Dr. J. W. Jellicion, who
at once proceeded to the place, which they reach
ed about seven o'clock last evening. .
In the presence of a large company, tLey pro
ceeded to examine' the place where the infant
had been discovered, and," horrible to Tflate,
found seven bodies, consisting of the entire French
family I Their skull were all broken in, and
the lgs of th old man French and Lis wife were
broken, so that they could be doubbxl up and
forced into the hole, which was three or four feet
deep. " They were laid in a heap, the father and
motheat the bottom, and the children on lop.
Tho babe was about fifteen months old, and the
r.l'Wt child about fifteen vears old. There were
three' girls and two boys. The children were
much decayed, but the parents -rere still sound,
and were easily recognized by thoso who had
known them. ' : , - ?
There is not the least doubt but what the llub
bards are guilty of this wholesale and damping
murder.. It is almost loo horrible fur Lt:!iT, but
the facts are as above stated, and the conclusion
is irresistible. The llubbards are all in jail." Mrs.
Hubbard wiH be examined to-day ; There seem
to bave been no other motive than the obtaining
what' few worldly goods this poor family possess
ed, which were not worth over fifty lctltrt.

" The election passed off as a genernl thing, " ery'
peaceably, a result principally attributable to our

any one poll. A few fracases occurred however

Doings of the Legislature.
It generally takes eome time after an - ad
journment, to know what each legislature
has done. The doings of our present lawma
kers, however. Lid fair to become well known
long before they take up their line of march
homeward; never more to return, in the pres
ent capacity, to Uarrisburg. ;
As a general answer to the inquiry, ' TTbat
has the Legislature done?" we state, for the
information of the public, that it first spent
week after week, at an expense of peruaps
over $20,000, in a vain and fruitless attempt :
to electa U. S. Senator; that it has passed
an innumerable quantity of Bank bills; that
it has enacted a licence law, which, for stupid
uncertainty and ill defined provisions, could '
not be excelled by the muddiest and most
thick beaded school boy of twelve years of age
in the State ; that it bas repealed the tonnage
tax on coal and lumber, passing over the
Penna. It. K. ; that it proposes to create the
office of Guano Inspector, with a large salary,
to tax farmers, and those who use that article ;
that it bas undertaken to vote each member
an increase of pay ; and finally, as a fit clowng
scene to so disreputable a drama, a resolution
is actually passed, by one body, to remove the
State Capitol to Philadelphia I If this is cer
tainly n ot enough of dishonor for any one act
of men, we know not what is.
