In a speech, delivered a short time since in New York, by John Van KuREN.Lesaid that although Fremont feats of horsemanship in California were somewhat remarkable, if tru?, he thought it would be a difficult tak for him, to ride tiro hor ses, on heo platforms, at the same time. Hazard ous aa the undertaking would seem to be, the self oustitct&d conqueror of California, is now ira king a l..ld and vigorous effort to accompli h it. When the Know-Nothing pa:ty commenced its trlld and reckless career, the prominent planks in ts platform, were opposition to all foreigners ; and intension of the naturalization laws to a period of hctnty one years and uncompromising hostility to Vie members of a certain religious denomination. These fanatical and auti-repullican doctrines, constituted the ShiiMdh, of that unsanctified band of political Traitors. Their hypocritical c?.ut, about none but Americans ruling America, waj merely a tub thrown out to the popular whale inasmuch, as no one but a fool, believes that Auv-rica ever has been or evrr will be governed by aiy other than Americans. When the Dutch take Holland, and not before, we may perhaps he rallel upon to vote fur a German or an Irish President. We say then, that this unholy cru sade against foreigners and Catholics, was the very marrow the sublimated essence of Know Nothingism. It was eo in the day of its trium phal march, when :t strode, ginnt like over the Republic, ar.d it is so new, in the sore and yellow leaf, of its gradual but certain decay. The Na tional Know-Nothing Convention, which assent J Jed in New York last June, a?id nomiuateil John C Fremont fir President and William F. Johnslon for Vice Pretideut, was composed of men profess ing theso doctrines. Each one of its nivmlers, wlicn he entered ti e dark portals of a Know Nothing I. jdge, bound himself with the solemnity of au oath. 1. That ho will never vote or gi7e his iniliH-nce f..r any man for any office, unless he be a born ottion. '2. Toat he wil never vote orgWehi infiure fur any man for ny ofiiw who is iloman Cath olic. S. That he will, when ejected or appointed to any official station, remove all foreigners, aliens, or Roman Catholics frouiomce or place. 4. That in all political matters he will comply with the will of the majority of this order. 5. That in all political matters, and for all po litical office, he will support meinbrs of this or Wr in preference to all other persons. Can it be that any man but a Know Nothing, in " gc-od itaflwg," cr one who dors not syn pathise and act with them, could have received a noruinarij.ii at the Lands jf a convention consti ruted as that was? would that convention eo rompleKly iMtuUify itself, and place in nomina tion any man, who was not " bone of it bone nmd flesh of its flush," and who would not, in his ftdtuintarriti n of the sfiis of tl government, rrv out it wiiL.-j und ii:i-1 hfcvimif d'.HTS? Lock at Flemonts colleague, WMUim F. Johnston. Although he is the son of an honest, patriotic, county Tyrone Irishman, be ;e nevertheless, a Lining light in the -Know-Nothing temple. lie can denounce the Dutch a"nd Irish, with as much viiidictiveness 3 Xed Buntline, , and declaim against the S'cjtc, with all the vehemence and bit terness of Joe Barker. Independent of Fremonts nomination by the New York Convention, as con di.ti.ivo evidence of his Know-Nothing proclivi ties, yet if there ever -was any doubt on the trW ject, it has been entirely removed by a Lrte letter from George Law; the head and front of that fac tion in New York, in wLLh he distinctly states, that Freinonl is a Utter American (Know-Notb-ing) than Fulore, that lie lias done more to promUe the scccess of the order than Fillmore, and that he, Law, will support Fremont, with all She r.oa4 nd ewrrgy in his pow er. This is an en dorsement, Tiot to be mistaken or misconstrued now, that the naturalized voters of the country, have discoTorad the treachery, and are swelling the ranks of the Buchanan column, Fremont has made a ladt and desperate effort, to conciliate the " rich Irish hrogve " "and ' the sweet German accent." To eSTect this object, he has recently inserted the following new plank in the Know Not Ling platform. The New York Free T'rtst, a Fremont paper of August ISth says: " (A-lone-I Fremont has pledged to the E.I i tor of the Criminal ZexXung, his sacrtAword, nottonup port, if elected, any attempt of the federal legis lature and not to approve of any resolution of the same, by winch tlie term, for naturalization of emigrants wouTd be prolongated, and emigra tion moisted. or impaired in any way whatso ever. The article in the Criminal Zeitung also a 2 re tnont journal, to which the Free Fress refer, was published in that papr on the 16th of August and is as follows ; This solemn (?) word of Fremont, fthat he would veto any bill, if elected, altering or pro longing the term of naturalization. this declara tion in regard to the principles which woxdd lead him, if elected, in the treahnent of all resolutions of foe Federal Legislature purporting to prolongate the term of naturalization, or to molest in any way emigration, or render it more difficult, has now been given to us. In spite of timid advisers who estimated less the increased support of German-Americans, which would grow out of this confession to our demands, than the loss of votes from the natives that might bo caused by it Mr. Fremont has answered the questions put to him in that straight and manly way which characterizes all his ac tions. This is no forgery ; the testimony is genuine, and the record speaks fr itself. We ask any Hnov -Nothing, how he can vote for Fremont, and reconcile the above declaration, with his accep tance of their nomination by the New York con vention. If Fremont, by any calamity should be elected, either the Know-Nothiugs or the naturalize-! voters who support him, w ill l e wofully cheated. Who will be the dupe ? It docs not require the gift of prophecy, to answ er the ques tion. Let our German democracy beware, for it is especially in their waters, that Fremont has cast his political net. Ilia assumed friendship for them is only calculated to deceive ; it is but a promise to tho ear, to be broken to the hope. Let them firmly ktand by the man and the party, Buchanan and the National Democracy, who have always recognized and supported their rights, and who havo not, at the eleventh hour, hypocriti cally professd to be their steadfast and devoted fiiends. A Speech Eevived. It will be recollected, that John C Fre mont, was first placod in nomination by the National Know Nothing Convention, which assembled in New Yoik last June, William F. Johnston was placed cn the same ticket for Vice President. Just about the time those nominations were made, the Black Re publican Convention met at Philadelphia. The New York Convention, which bad ad journed temporarily, despatched a committee, of which George Luc was chairman, to Phil adelphia, for the purpose of procuring an en dorsement by that Convcution of their own nominee for tho Vice Presidency, William F. Johmton. If George Iaic and his com mittee had accomplished the object of thir mission, Johnston and not Dayton, would have been placed on the ticket wr.h Fremont. The Philadelphia Convention however, indig nantly repudiated the alliance and George Laic was the bearer of the unwelcome news to Lis Know Nothing friends in New York. The Convention reassembled to hear the re port of the committee, after it was read, John Williamson, Ksq , of Huntingdon, who was a delegate, delivered a tpeeck full of wrath and indignation as reported in the New York paper?, it was as ollows: Mr. Williamson, of Pennsylvania, rose He was glad to see the report of the Commit tee so correctly made, and was very sharp upon the treatment tho Committee had re ceived in Philadelphia He denounced the Republican National Convention as a Conven tion of rowdyism, which had betrayed every principle of liberty He charged the men who took part in that Convention with being trait rs to liberty. Ou this floor, he said, he denounced the Convention at Philadelphia as a body composed of traitors to fra Kansas; they cared nothing for Kansas; they cared nothing for American principles; they had in sulted Americans by the last resolution adop ted as a part of their platform. Applause. He denounced Mr. Giddings for moving to lay the communication of the Committee on the table, and proceeded at length to animad vert upon the action of the Republicans: winding up with an earnest exhortation to Lis brethren to take such distinct and definite ac tion as could not bo misunderstood. Ap plause. This ppecch altboegh not long, yet like the widoT Malones 6ong, is very Btrong, and coming from a man of such magnificent pro portions as General Williamson, doubtless produced a deep sensation. We do not know on what platform Gen. Williamson now aland nor is it material at this time to enquire, in as ruuen as be is not a candidate for office, except in exjKdancy. We have merely pub lished bis onslaught on tbe Philadelphia Con vention, for the purpofeo of nbowiug tha friend of Fr-omoitt and Dayton, bat bis opinion was of tbe honesty and patriotism oFtbe men com posing it, Democratic Pole Raising. After th Democratic County CoHvorrtkm ad journed on last Saturday evening, the friends of Buchanan asid Breckinridge, raised two magnifi cent poles between the Hotels of John A. Blair and Mrs. Mary Ann Litzinger Although it was almost dark before the crowd commenced raising the second pole, the hard fisted democracy went to work with a hearty good will, and in a short time, placed it in positition, amidst the enthusi astic cheers of the crowd, acccmpa'aied Avth -soul stirriag music of the and drum. Between the two poles Is suspended the American flag, the flag of our Union, con tanig ihirtyone stars, in glorioiu contrast w'i'tn the banner of Black Re publicanism, which iu some sections of the north displays on!y sixteen. After the flag was flung to the breeze, the crowd was briefly and eloquently addressed by Dr. Wm A. Smith, M. D. Magehan, Esq., C. D. Murray, Esq., and John S. Rhey, Esq. Great credit is due to Capt. John A. Blair, for his promptness and energy in piocuring th poles and delivering them on the ground. The Prospect ia Camhria. Wo had an opportunity on last Saturday, of conversing with the delegates to the County Convention, which re-asscmbled on that day, for tbe purpose of nominating a candidate for Prothonotary. From all of them, we received the most encouraging and gratifyiug reports James Buchanan, is stronger in the affections of tbe peopla of this county, than be ever was before, and tbe result in November will prove it to a demonstration. The Democracy, are determined to bury Know-Nothingism and Black Republicanism, in an ignominious grave. As they have been lovely ia their lives, so in death, they shall not be separated. Dhatii of Harrison Wrioiit. We deep ly regret to announce the decease of Harrison r ngui, j-.mi., uicmocr oi tue iast Jvecisia- ture from Luzerne county. lie died in Wilkcs barre on Monday, after a very brief illness. He was a gentleman of fine abilities, of much experience in public affairs, and as a member of tbe Legislature bis clear judgement and foresight gave bim a wide and very marked influence. Tbe people of Luzerne lose in bim a proniiaerit &r;d worthy citizen, and the Com-! mouweahh, one tf the most promibing of her rising statesmen. Appointment. Gov. Pollock Iraa appoint ed Howard J. Roberts Esq. Prothonotary &c of Cambria county, to fill the vacancy occa sioned by the death of Milton Roberts Esq. Tbe commission runs until the first day of December next, and in the meantime a new Prothonotary will be elected at tho next gen eral election in October. A Trio. We learn from the Cambria Tribune that the notorious Rurlingame, and Ex-Gov. Pord spent last Sunday at Cresson with the abusive Sumner. What a trio! Burliogarne, Ford and Sumner. Is there any new treason afoot, or do they only intend if they cannot succeed in parahysing the govern ment," to revolutionize Washington Town ship? Assembly Ticket. The Know-Nothings of Fulton county have nominated W. W. Sel lers of Fulton co., for Assembly. As their brethren in this county under the garb of ''Union men" Lad previously nominated Mr John Pringle of Cambria, we Euppose that their ticket may now bm fairly considered in the field. The Democracy have but to do thtir duty, and theie will not be much danger of Cambria, Bedford, and Fulton being rep resented in the next Legislature by such Know-Nothing worthies as Messr?. Pringle and Sellers. Gzorgs Engelbacu. This gentleman i doing good servicain the Democratic cause. He delivered an address in the German lan guage at a Mass Meeting in Ilollidaysburg last week, and booked as one of the speakers at a meeting of the Altoona Democracy on to-morrow. George is one of tho Demo crats we read about, and is entirely compe tent to strip Black Republicanism of its as sumed mask and expose it in all its deformity U bis fellow German Citizens. Let bim cry aloud and spare not. Democratic 3Ikitino at Galitzin. Tbe Democracy of Allegheny Tewnship held a large and enthusiastic meeting in the village of Galitzin on Friday evening last. The tueetiug was organized by calling Philip Smith to the chair, assisted by a cumber of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. The meeting was addressed by G . N. Smith, G R Stewart. C L. Perching and others. The meeting is said to have been one of the largest ever held in the township. .Allegheny will do her duty Court. Our County Court commences on next Monday, at which time we expect a num ber of our patrons to call on us and square their accounts, or at least a part Our ex penses are heavy, and without prompt pay ment we are unable to keep business going. Quito a number promised to liquidate their indebtedness from time to time, we expect to see them fulfill their promises at this Court if they do not they may expect us to pursue our course, and that without fail. II. D. Decker, Eq. This gentleman has cloeed bis Dancing School in this place. The scholars under bis care regret bis leaving, and all bear testimony as to bis fitness as a teacher. Mr. D.. while among us won many friends, owing to bis gentlemanly deportment wo hope, wherever he may pitch his tent, he may meet with many warm and devoted friend A. C. Mullin, Esq. This gentleman has received tbe nomination for State Senator for this District. Mr. Mullin is an active mem ber of the Know Nothing party, and as far as this comity is concerned he will receive a smaller Vote for the office of Senator than be did for the effice of County Treasurer last fall. Tbe District is certain for the Democ racy. ' Mass - Meeting at the Summit. A Mass Meeting of the Democracy will bu held at tbe Summit on Saturday the Gth of September In that region, where Fremont men are as scarce as white trowj n large crowd can be assembled. A Buchanan Pole will be raised, J et the Democracy go to work and unfurl the staijp and ttrip.s cn the very Summit of the Allegbcnies. Ocr Nominee for Protuonotart. By reference to tbe proceedings of the County Convention, St will be seen that Gen. Joseph McDonald, "was nominated by acelaru ation for the office of Prothonotary of this county, made vacant by th death of Col Milton Roberts. It is unnecessary for us to say that it will add very materially to the strength of the county ticket. ; The entire ticket is a strong one. and will be elected by very strong majority. GoDKv'a Lady's Boor We are in receipt of tbe September number of Godey. This number richly abounds with useful and in structive reading matter together with its engravings fashion plates &a., makes it one of the most attractive numbers for tho present year. Fatal Accident. On Friday, tbe 22nd inst., Major John Hill, an old and respected citizen of Fairfield township, Westmoreland county, left borne in a buegy to go to mill.. While on the way, one of the wheels came off, the horse ran away, and he was thrown out upon tbe jrrovind. When found be was insen sible, and lived but a short time. Maj. Hill bad presided at a Democratic meeting in Greensburg. a few evenings previously, and on taking the Chair, paid : "I am an old man now. I have almost reached my three score and ten the allotted acre of man, and have at most but a short time left me. My fellow-citizens have, at different times, honored me with office, i am thankful for it. Bnt my day of holding office is over.

We haTe perused with pleasure and profit, the oration pronounced before the Literary gaieties of Washington College, oa June 16th, by the elo quent statesman whose name heads this notice. It is characterized throughout by that practical eloquence, for which Mr. Dawson is distiugnislied. His ardent derotiori to lrfs country never fails to display itself on every proper occasion. We sub join an extract from tho oraRoiv, which is peculiar ly eloquent on this subject. Public opinion is everywhere, and Inevitably, tending to freedom. A knowledge of the rights of th individual, and a sense of bis importance cannot but be the result of the hurrying to and fro of the nations, and their meeting and ming ling in friendly intercourse in the great marts of mankind. All this is familiar reflection, and doubtless ther is much justice in its conclusions. I cannot, however, leave this topic without revert ing, for a moment to one prominent circumstance in our history. Who can have failed to note in the consideration of this subject, how far ab)vc the petty sectional and party questions of the day stand the purposes and motives which origi nated this Umon. Did not the same sectional causes of difference exist then, as now 1 How did the mtn of '7G and '89 deal with them 1 Did they consider them of such paramount impor tance to outweigh the Union ? you know that on the contrary, no other question ws regarded as of any importance, except as secondary to its pre servation. How comes it, my yourg friends, that the Union is now held so cheap! that we seem intent on stretching rery cord that holds it tegether, as if to test how much they will War without snapping! Is it net because, elated with prosperity, our minds are diverted from the illus trious examples of our conscript Fathers? Lt us not forget the greatness of the trust reposed in us! Let us remember that the permanency of the Union is the experiment which w e are making! Ix-t us be sensible of t! superior imp-ortaTice, aWc all other questions and considerations, of preserving its integrity! The peculiar institu tions of a portion of the country, are evils of a subordinate degree, and no pretensions to states manship ran be admitted which do not embrace this as the primary dement. Time, interest and advancing civilisation will carry that peculiar race into the distant South, preparatory to their return to tl eir oripinal home, just as certainly a ihc waters f tre M:s:Sppi are rained into the Gulf. It is imnoMilile 5u the nsti.rr of tl.irf that two distinct races can for any great period eo-exist on this continent. With the landing of the Pile-rims, and the earliest S"ttlmrnt on the James Tiiver, began the gradual disappearance rf the Indian ; and as settlement and rivilir.aticn ad vanced, his trnrk has been from bis native bunt ing grounds toward tho setting sun. In the ex cess of their prosperity, both New England and the South, are pioue to undervalue the Union. and to suppose they should flourish as well with out it. They are committing a great and lamw.t sble mistake. They would be shorn of their con sideration among the nations of the world, nnd their power too would consequently be gne. T.et them decide whether the insignificant evils under which they now complain, are at all com parable to those which tbry should then be rail ed upon to endure. , If they c.mnot now adjust their sectional differences wf'hin the Un:on. what probability is there that they will have better suc cess, when split intoadoyfp rettv slates, where tbe causes of disunion will be multiplied indefi nitely, from the exclusivness rf local systems, and the absence of a common ti. Tt depends. I W'ieve, above all h( r things, under Providence, upon the education or training which is given to the young, how lonp shall be the duration of this grand and beautiful fabric. I allude not so much to the mere training of the school or recitation room, though this is a preat and essential portion, but to that larger and still more useful education which is conducted at home, and in society. It is all important that the young mind should be secured from the contagion of evil example, Juvenal's admonition is as perti nent now as when first uttered. It is all impor tant that it should learn a docile suhmissk n to wholesome discipline. That it should be accus tomed from the earliest years to contemplate the best examples rf excellence; that it should thns be brought to tho comprehension of the social and relative duties; to the understanding of justice and a love of its exercise ; and to feel deep rev erence for law, This, with proper instruction in the history, the foundation, and practical work ing of our government, and with such accom plishments of speech and of writing as shall ena ble you best tx explain and to defend the truth, would seem tv form the best preparation for the future citizen. With this training and with the knowledge which it is permitted 3-011 to acquire within these walls, you may emerge into the world and aspire, with well founded hope, to the high places of so ciety, and a full fchare of the honors and prizes of life. November is the Time to Drive Them Rev. Dr. Betbune, in bis address at tbe Inau guration of tbe statuate of Washington, spoke as follows of the Father of bis country, our Union, and of those who would tear it asun der: God made him, and gave him to us, in him self the type of what our Republic should be, in all his elcmccts great, even consistent each vigorous in its own action, yet all held inhar monous ballaoce by tbe unity of a single pur pose No wonder his work survived bim. Survived bim? No. He still lives, though his mortal frame has long been dust. God who gave, keep that life with us, when that spirit is lost, when our elements revolt from their enemies, and. like the maniac among the tombs, whose devils were legion, we cut and tear ourselves, this fair confederacy will soon lie beneath tbe heavens the most mangled, loathsome corpse that ever polluted the breath of humanity with its purification. Some of the devils are in us now. O, for the God of our fathers to drive them out and down into the sea of an infamous oblivion I" STThe Democratic gain in North Caroli na this year is over 8,000.

In consequence of the failure tf Conrrrs, at its recent session, to make provision for tfi support of tbe Army, it became imperatively incumbent on me to exercise the power which the Constitution confers tm the Executive for extraordinary wCasioE and promptly to con vene the two Htrases, in order to afford them an opportunity of reconsidering a subject tf such vital interest to the welfare f the nation With the exception of a partial authbfitv vceted by law in the Secretary of War, to con tract for the supply of clothing and eubiis tencc, the army is wholly dependent on the appropriations anually made by CongreFs.

I confidently trnst that these considerations and others appertaining ro the domestic peaca of the country, which cannot fail to suggest themselves to every patriotic mind, wilf, on reflection, be duly appreciated by both Houses of Congress, and induce the enactment of tho requisite provisions of law for tha support cf the army of the United States.
