Doctor we enjoy some f his hits with peculiar
gusto. Dr. Dixon possesses, as the reader
will perceive by the cut, a remarkable resem
blance to Louis Napoleon ; btit we sec do re
semblance in character to account for the
likeness in features. Dr. D. is much taller
ami more erect, having a far- more Military
bearing than Louis I n moral cfia acter there
is a difference that all who know Dr. Dixon
will at once recognize. Craft forms no part
cf his nature; you might as well attempt to
harness the lightning or the wiud as to prevent
him from abruptly expressing his opinion.
He is utterly devoid of moral fear, and a most
-unselfish man. We will: venture to assert
that when vou have once seen hin, you will
acknowledge that you have found the most
serious yet playful specimen of Lis protean

WEDNESDAY MORNING::::::::::::::-JUNE IS.
A Glance at the Times.
Let us take a glance at this beloved country of
ours, and see how it mast appear to the thinking
portion of mankind, at this particular time- Be
ginning at the East, we find Neal Dow engaged
in a cruel and unrelenting war with tho citizens
of Portland, in the State of Maine.. A war between
fanatics and drunkards, by which they have sent
one man to the other woild, and prepared seven
others to follow in a few days, "beyond the hopes
of recovery. Cad aa the drunkard is, (and in all
conscience he is bad enough) still, he is not such
a wretch as the fanatic. The drunkard is gener
ally a good man, when in sobriety, or in lucid
intervals, but never can the fanaticbe a good
man; he has no head to think, nor heart to feel,
nor ear to hear, nor eye to smile; nothing, but the
one idea of dreary desolation to the wino-bibber,
the publican, and sinner. Such is Neal Dow, and
from what we can learn, there was no necessity
for him to shed human blood, the exigency of the
case demanded it not. If we go to the far West,
we find in Kansas, the tents of the pro and anti
slavery parties pitched there, and a war as hostile
and as deadly, as the war of the bottles in Tort-
land, waged and carried on with vigor on both
sides. Several men have already lost their lives,
and more will follow in a short time." The Mis-
sourians swear by all the Gods in the heathen
mythology, if the Kansas Emigration Society do
not cease their agitation, and keep the peace, they
will settle them by the most effectual of all admo
nitions, the rifle bullet On the other hand,
Massachusetts, that land of fanaticism, bigotry,
bibles, and bed bugs, are busy in the shipment of
Bowie knives. Minnie rifles, revolvers and Aboli
tionists to the scene of action. What the result
will be, we cannot tell, but we will'sit quietly by
and look on. One thing certain they have enough
to do in these localities, to keep their minds diver
ted from Know-Nothingism. for the time being.
In New York, too, they have partially forgotten
the Pope and the foreigner, and are preparing for
the deadly fight of the whiskey struggle. . In
Pennsylvania, too, the whiskey and fanaticism,
may occupy more space in the politics of the next
fall election, than is generally supposed at the
present time. . Our opinion is that Neal Dow in
lis blood thirsty fanaticism has done the cause of
temperance more liarm, than all the money of all
the liquor dealers in the United States could do.
In Washington City the Kaow-Nothings are tur
bulently writhing under the castigation they have
received at the hands of the Democracy of Vir
ginia, by the election of Henry A. Wise. Glory,
honor and praise be to that true hearted democ
racy, it has never faltered in the hour of adver
sity. , Surrounded as that State has been, by ev
ery recollection of our country's grandeur, in men,
in arms, and in intellect, it was meet that her
democracy should be the first to stem the torrent
of the dark lantern marauders, ller democracy
is like the pine of Clan Alpin,
"Moored in the rifted rock,; ' '
Proof to the tempest shock,
Firmer it roots in, the ruder it blows."
" Away in the Utah Territory, Brigham Young
is preaching to his brethren, his wives and chil
dren, glory to the great Jehovah on high, and
peace on earth to men of good will, telling them
that they are the little Joseph of the family of this
Union. That they loved their patriarchal parent
with a devoted filial affection, and that their pa
rent sat dozing . in an old arm chair, while their
brethren were persecuting them and endeavoring
to sell them into slavery; and now, that they have
been driven to the Egypt of the Union, may one
day be able to take their father and their brethren
out of as hard a difficulty, as Joseph the. son of
Jacob did.
In our own county, (last week being Court
week) a battle was fought between the temper
ance men, armed with the Buckalew law, and
the grand Jury, armed with honesty and common
sense; in the contest the Jury were victorious, and
drove the leaders of their antagonists into durance
vile, there to admire the beauties of creation
through the ten of diamonds.
These reflections would lead us to suppose that
our country is travelling fast into the regions of
corruption, decay, and desolation, and such will
be the case, if the pure unsullied democracy of the
country do not arise in the majesty of their power,
and save the country, as they have often done be
fore, from utter annihilation ' ; .
' The Virginia Election. .... . . '.
The RichmonJ Enquirer, in common ting on"
the fact that some of the Know Nothing papers
attribute the election of Wise to the " foreign"
vote,; although they are not ignorant of the cir
cumstance that his majority largely exceeds the
entire foreign vote of the State," says : " It is
known that a considerable jjroporticn of the " for
eign" vote was cast agaiust the Democratic can
didates. A correspondent of the Dallimore Sun
savg an examination of , the polls ia Alexandria
has ikvtloped the surprising fact that a large
mujiber of foreign-born citizens supported the
Kf-v-Nothing ticket. There i : another fact
which settles this dispute beyond controversy.
In the cities, aud iu : the counties through which
works cf internal improvement are progressing
iu lliehmond, in Petersburg, in Norfolk, in Alex
andria, in Wheeling, in Fredcricsburg, in Augus

Democracy ,utiin the .greatest loss. On. ; the
other hand, in; the remote Southweit and on the
South title, where nobody ever sees a Catholic or
a foreigner, the l)emoeTay made the largest gain.

Shall Democracy Triumph in the Coming"
-; -Contest?
The time is fast approaching when the above
question must be answered, and we rejoice to per
ceive that the Democracy in every section of the
State, are determined that it shall be answered in
the affirmative. We sincerely hope the Democ
racy ot little Cambria, will not allow her to be
behind her sister counties in coming to the rescue.
She has always been faithful heretofore, even in
the hour of gloom and disaster, and .we are confi
dent her Democracy are ready and willing to go
heart and soul into the present contest, if those
selected as their standard bearers, are men who
arc devotedly attached to the principles or Jeffer
son and Jackson, ami willing to stand by them,
through good and evil report.
It has frequently been suggested to its of late,
that . the nomination of a ' fusion ticket," com
posed partly of Democrats, and partly of old line
Wnigs would insure the defeat of Know-Noth-iugism
in this county next fall, and that if this
course is not adopted Know-Nothingism will most
assuredly triumph. This may be all correct, but
we are inclined to think otherwise. , But a small
portion of the midnight conspirators in this county,
consist of deserters ftom the democratic ranks. -They
are made up, almost entirely of men who
were formerly members of tle Whig party, but
who no longer retain any remembrance of their
first love. ; We grant, there are a number of old
line Whigs remaining in tho cotmty, who still
adhere to first principles, but they are like Angel
visits, " few aud far between.". The truth is the
"party has lost its vitality, and is totally incapable
of accomplishing anything. - By far the larger
portion of its memlxrs are now secretly arrayed
under the banner of Samuel, while the Democratic
party remains " full of. its original spirit," as
mighty and powerful as when it hurled federalism
from power more than half a century ago, ready
and willing to do battle against the enemies of oxir
free institutions. Under these circumstances it is
preposterous to suppose that a " fusion ticket,"
would give satisfaction to, or promote harmony
among the rank and file of the Democratic party,'
in this county , Let us then steadily adhere to
the established principles and usages of tho party;
let us carefully exclude Know-Nothing delegates
from our convention; let us nominate a ticket
composed of honest and sincere democrats, who
are willing if required, to declare under the sacred
obligations of an oath, ' that they are not. never
have been, and never intend to be, members of a
secret oath-bound society or order, for political
purposes, and we are confident we will be sustain
ed by every enemy of bigotry ' and intolerance,
without regard to party, within the limits of the
county.";;, ; , . . .
: We do not pretend to say th;it there are not
several counties in the State, where it would be
advisable for Democrats and Whigs to unite, and
form union tickets for the purpose of crushing the
common enemy, but Cambria does not belong to
the number. Our only hope of success lies in
placing no man on our county ticket who is. taint
ed with Know-Nothingism, and in going into the
contest arrayed under the toil-worn and invincible
banner of Democracy, determined to fall, if fall
we must, ' with our faces to heaven and our feet
to the foe." ". . : -
' Shall Democracy triumph in the coming con
test? Kemember - Democrats, that the battle is
not always to the strong, and that the founder of
our party has warned us, that tie price of lib-
erty is eternal vigilance." Let us all then go at
once to work, determined to do our utmost to-
waids redeeming our noble old State, and repla-.
cing her in the proud position of Keystone of the
Federal Arch. ...
&In another column we publUh an interesting
letter from Robert Carmon, in vindication of his
character for truth, regarding a statement he had
made in a previous letter to this paper. Mr.
Cannon's statements would be always taken for
truth while he resided here. ; :.
CO" We perceive by the Alleghanian, that Gid
eon Marlett, Esq., is a candidate for Sheriff, sub
ject to the decision of the Whig Convention-
Gideon is a clever fellow, but he will have no
Whig Convention to nominate him, it will be
composed of Know Nothing?. A man depending
on the Whig party would be about as well off,
as the man that was fed on the soup boiled from
the shadow of a starved crow. ' ' ' 1 '

The TJ. S. Senator Question.
The question as to how or by whom Pennsyl
vania shall be represented in the Senate of" the
United States, is one which must be met by the
next Legislature, inasmuch aa the last one failed
to elect. The people should bear this in mind in
making their nominations for the Asscrobly du
ring the present summer and ensuing fall, if they
desire to see the Old Keystone occupy the com
manding position m that body which her emi
nence in the Confederacy of States justly " entitles
her to. If we wish to be respected in that exal-J
ted Jtxxly ol legislators, and have an honorable
name and a place in the councifs of the Na tion,
we must select from tho many able men we have
amongst us, that one who by his talents and vir
tues will shed most lustre upon the station, and
thus secure for himself and his State tie esteem
and confidence of others. Above all, we must
select an honest man honest in politics as well
as in every thing else if wo wish to keep up
the . credit of our honest old Commonwealth.
No mousing, corrupt politician, such as some of
those who are aspiring to a seat iu that body,
should for one moment be thought of. No petty
bank cashier, whose highest exhibition of talents
has been to corrupt the morals and purchase the
votes of venal legislators -no patent medicine
vender, who has grown immensely rich by plun-
deriivg the pockets of his infatuated dupes to pay
for his filthy nostrums, should be a representative
of the great State of Pennsylvania. ' :
Will our Democratic friends throughout the
State sec to this matter in time. The season fr
making nominations lor the Legislature is rapidly
approaching and we have no doubt that trick
cry and stratagem, deception and rascality are al
ready at work to accomplish their nefarious pur
pose. These things ro not done openly, in the
light of day; but stealthily and underhandedly
for thi is the onlypossiblc way by which dishon
est men can hope to obtain power. By means of
their unprincipled creatures in the uffercnt coun
ties especially Mhe Democratic counties they
succeed sometimes in packing Conventions, " and
get their ' miserable tools nominated, and thus
force the people to vote for them because they
are the nominees of the party, no matter how un
worthy or undeserving they are of their suffra
ges. : - :J : :- " ' v. -
There is but one proper way to prevent such a
state of things and that is for the people to at
tend tho delegate elections, and select such men,
aud none other, . as arc known to be horejt, and
who, will faithfully, reflect their will when they
meet in the County or nominating Conventions.
We hope tur.brethft-n of. the press, throughout
the ,State, will lose no time in directing tftS attcn
tion of the people to this important subject.--
Zanrastcr Intelligencer. V '
Manufacture of Cider Prohibited.
The Rev. M. Lovejov, speaking of the late law
passed by the Massachusetts Legislature, on the
subject of liquor, holds the following language
." "A man who manufactures a barrel of cider, is
fined under this law $50; and imprisonment from
three to six months for the offense; $200 and im
prisonment for six months for the second offense.
and $200-and imprisonment for twelve months
for the third offense! - If you make one gallon of
wme, squeezed grom the currants that grow in
your garden,- and give away or sell a glass of it,
that act entitles you to imprisonment for twelve
months, and this in the old Commonwealth of
Massachuset ts, m the year of our Lord, J855 !"
There . is a. truth in the above, which cannot
but strike the human mind with peculiar force,
We have often said, the result of all such laws is
to lead to a dangerous extreme,, and. produce a
state of society in this country of the most fearful
character. Although we considered the last Mas
sachusetts Legislature capable of anything, we
scarcely b lieved a point in legislation would be
rcacheJ : so . supremely : ridiculous. Who ever
dreamed that the year 1855 would witness the
enactment of a law by a sovereign State of this
Union, prohibiting the farmer from " making a
barrel of cider f . Who tver supposed a law would
be passed to imprison a farmer for six mouths, if
he dared manufacture a barrel cf cider ?1& it
any wonder that the common senso of the people
is beginning to revolt at this outrageous hum-
buggery 1 The peoplo may be called rum-suckers
and rum-sellers, by those whose sense of jus
tice and right has been eaten out by fanaticism ;
but the time is coming when truth and geniune
morality will prevail, and laws which are but the
result of a miserable catering to fanatics bhall lie
wiped from the statue books. Democratic Union.
' ' " The Liquor Law!
The people seem to be moving in "every
quarter for the repeal of tho inquitous Jug
Law passed by the laistK. N. Legislature, and
approved by a K. N. Governor. That it
will be swept out of existence by the popular
voice of next October, no man in his senses
can doubt. We have no hesitation in pro
claiming ourselves in favor of it3 speedy re

Benedict Arnold, the First " Know-Nothing."
" Fact are clticTs tliat winna diuej.
' And dor na be disputed. '
' Tub conspirators of the present day, arc f rav
er parading their historical pedigree, and a pixtfy
piece of patch-work it is. But their true parent
age which.vis historical enough has not jet
.been accurately traced. Without fee or reward
we have dug to the root of their genealogical tree,
and found it deep in New England soil, springing
straight up from the blaek heart of Brigadier
Gexehal Bexemct Arnold.
General Arnold had all the qualilicatit ns re
quired by his imitators of the present conspiracy.
He could boast two generations of native ances
tors, previous to the year 1740, when he first
saw the light in Connecticut. He had served in
tho revolution ; his wife was no Catholic nor yet
Jesuit; and his scutiments, as we shall show,
were quite worthy of Ullman, Barker, Flouruoy,
and Conrad.
Chief Justice Maislial (Life of Washington,
Vol, ,p, 49) accounts Ibr the tiilure of Wash
ington's plan of getting Canada into the confed
eracy, partly by the Know-Nothing condnct of
Arnold, "After Montgomery's death," says the
Chief Justice, " the priests were very injudicious
ly neglected;" "even General Arnold," he adds,
(p CO) was disposed to consider himself in the
presence of an enemy ;" t". e. the Catholic Cana
dians. Iu Dodsley'o Anmud RryLitix for 1781 (pp.
47 S) is given in Arnold's address to " the inhab
itants of America," after his treason an I ape,
and another proclamation i f his to " th ofiiecr.s
and soldiers of the Continental Army."
In the Address, he denounces the alliance with
France, and France herse-lf in the stroni-ht terms.
"He laments that the grt-:t iiitr-rts .f the
country were dangcrouidy saeri fired to the parti
al views of a proud, ancient aftl crafty fw, re
gards her as too feeble to establish their irulopcn
dence ; charges her rciili being cn eurwy if the
Protestant faith, &c., &c, &c."
In the Proclamation he dec-hues himi-elf in the
very spirit jf the present conspirators
" He wished to lead a chosen band of AMERI
CANS to the attainment of k.-;u-p, liberty aud
safety, and with them to sh.-ire iu the lry of
rescuuig their JSA11 v K country fu'iu the .rap
iuar hand of Fruuce, as well as from the auditions
and interested views of a deupcrate purly (that of
Washington anil Congress) am ng themselves,
who had aheady brought the cohinies to tho very
brink of destruction. 5
He further asked what America was now but
a land of widows, orphans, anl leggars ? Kent

.. Here we have the very Mens, in almoat the
very words, of the present so-called "American
party." The same appeals to nativity and to
Puritanism, the same instigations to exclusive
associations and anti-Constitutional opposition to
the Federal authorities, are as clearly expressed
by Arnold, as they could bo by B-irkerpr Con

warning, strangle them. The higher the position
and character of the victim, the more meritorious
the act. The Thug who strangles the largest
number of victims in the course of a year, is re
warded with the title of Grand Thug of the Coun

Thug refuses to yield unqucstioiu'ng and implicit
confidence to tho commauds of the Grand Thug,
they make an image or cfligy of him. which they
burn, at the same time stoning and cursing it.

him is bound to stab Lim to the heart, provided
he can do go "without risk of dctectiou. Every

their acts by saying that they only wish to estab

Gen. Wilson, who obtained an election to
he United States Senate from the " Know-
Nothing party in Massachusetts, . recently
made a speech to the "Order," at Brattlebo
ro,' Vermont; On that occasion he told his
hearers: i - . : -' :
' lie had no sympathy with that, narrow,
bigoted, intolerant spirit that would make war
upon a race ot men because tney uappeneu to
be born in other lands a dastardly spirit that
would repel from our ; shores tho men who
sought homes here under our institutions.
Such a spirit was anti-Amercan, devilish; ho
loathed it from the bottom of his heart."
" He further said : J ' '; . ' . 5 .
He regretted to say there were some mem
bers of the American party in favor of ex
cluding by constitutional amend ments, all
adopted citixens from office. He deeply de
plored the action of the Legislature of Massa
chusetts in proposing an amendment to tae
Constitution euiooaymg uiis uutmue. ,
hoped gentlemen who had given . their' votes
for this proposition a proposition that would
not permit Prof."" Agassis , one of the first sci
entific men of the age, to fill, under State ap
pointment, an office even of a scientific character-would
see their error and retreat at once
from a position which justice, reason and re
ligion condemned. ".What little influence he
possessed would bo given with a hearty good
will to defeat this proposition. :

nominations, and take a firm stand again

.When, last week, we priuted the EUisworth -tragedy
from the Bangor Journal, we Lad suppo
sed that nothing worse could possibly come out
of new England. A day or two undeceived me,
as the following extract from the Lotion DaSg
Advertiser, of may ICth, will also undeceive any
of our readers, who may have formed a similar
conclusion :
'Yesterday morning there sailed from this port

banished, were, we are told, mo-t piteous, and
such as to cause the accidental witnesses of tL
scene to burn with indignation.
Tho ofience of this unfortunate woman, for
which she. was thus violently and ignomiuiously
expelled from Massachusetts, was the fact that
slie was born iu Ireland, and is called a jxivper.
