We supposed, as a matter of course, that the bumbuggery he preached while upon the stump, for the purpose of catching votes, would be quietly 'laid aside when he mowed the robes of office In this, we say, we have been disappointed. The Inaugural partakes of all the charaCteristics of the demagogue candidate There is thesame flouri.h about •'Nebraska - -the same nonsense about "Rivers and Harbors"—the same hypocritical cant about the "Missouri Compro mise"—and the &tine disrcpu'able attempt to sarry Religious and political dogmas into the arena of polities. True, the Governor says "the rights of conscience, and the freedom of worship, are the birth right and the boast of the American citizen," bat does not the Governor know, does tidt every reflecting man know, that if the intol tempt doctrines of the secret cabal, of which he is the head, are earned out, this "birth-right" about which he prates, will be but a ntPre.‘bimat:" And the..., although no "royal edict, uo pontiG• soil decree, can restrain or destroy them," the "edict" and the "decree' .

Nay, hirthw; the ostensible aims and object* of Know No thingisin are wrong in theory, and would be in jurious in practice. They are oPP3"d to the principles upon which our republican hesitations are founded, and hence should not be tolerated by the people. Still we cannot shut our eyes to facts, or close our ears to truth; and thereat. foots we see, and truth we hew, that maga= us SONO and more in the belief that to their own bldillOtte• tion, adopted citizens may trsoe:much of the strength of the Know Nothing crusade against them In a word, by their own folly and mad ness, are the Councils of the Know Nothings fill ed with recruits. We have been long tempted to "free our mind," as they say at "clams meet ing," upon this point, and have oaly been deter red because we thought we might be misconstru ed, as well as used to bolster up the !edifies! for tout% of the Know Nothing conspirators. But, as the saying is, "murder will out," besides we are out sure that silence is the best way to cor rect so evil. To illustrate what we are driving at, we quote from the remarks of one of the speakere at a meeting the people held in New York last week, to take into consideration the "had fate" of the starring poor in that metro polis "Mr. Roedel here proceeded to address the German portion of the scalene* substantiall as followc—Brethren--For the first time I spea k in an assembly like this. We have not all the same language, but our feelings are the same; they unite us her with the American people. For the advancement of these sentiments, we must not only unite with them in speeches, but also in acts In our country we have fought for liberty and many of us have lost in battle our fathers brothers, or 1101:14. Here we are free, but not free enough; we want the liberty of living. ((Ap plause) We have fought in Germany for liber ty of speech and the liberty of press. The Ger man press is against us in that movement, but we need not care what those papers say; we must act on our own hook. Here we have social liber.y, liberty of speech, and liberty of the press; sod when we want anything that is _just, we are bound to obtain it. (Applause.) If you dont know your rights yet, hanger will teach them to you You don't get bread nor wood, and there is plenty of them. At our revolution in June we lobtained three months credit, and when we had no bread we soon obtained it, because we were 200,000 bayonets strong I have nothing further to say then to advise you to put in panties the ' principle.* of these social republics.

Can we wonder, when such doctrine as this is preached and listened to with approbation by our adopted citizens, that the unthinking among our population become the dupes of the political harpies who oontrol and manage the Know No- thing movement; and that, with this food tide ftrushiog to their standard, Know Nothing Tinto- ries are achieved: Those whom this movement rippela-soneerrarilkolfsvcisey mould IMMO thedi Jocobian notions--their likes sod their dislikes —upon the other side of the Atlantic, and come among tut free from the prejudices and passions that fille4 their breasts in Europe. A FORTUNE roa Tanis Dorcas.—We in vite the attention of our readers to the rare chance to invest the little sum of $3, set forth in the ad vertisement of the "Presque Isle Steamboat Cow pany,"in another column. We know all about this scheme, and hence can MUM those disposed to "go in" that the whole thing is 0. K.

Your bumble correspondent pays this pour tribute to her simply for the reason that fur some uses plained but truly merciful cause it has beams the fciatioe to be charitable. It has by tura been the fashion to be almost every thing bat that, and the new pliaselis ipeidedly the best ev er yet adopted. Fashion'sdevotees are therefore busily intent upon the good work she has devised for them, and the destitute condition of the pour er classes gives ample scope to all their energies. Benevolent Associations of ill kinds are constant ly being formed, and funds are thus obtained to furnish food and clothing for the suffering poor. The carriages of the proud and rich are often sees wandering down narrow and dirty lanes and al leys, bearing fair occupants on missions of mercy and relief. After all, there is no business like that of doing good for others, and judicious char ity blesses both the giver and the receiver. I see that a lady in the leading circlet of New York uppertendom has hit upon the novel expedient of sending out some 500 invitations to a grand party a'es, is about to give, every lady being re quested to appear on the occasion in a cake dress, which dress is to be sent to her house the next day for transmission to the destitute at the Five Points. This whimsical but really charita ble design is but an i!lustratioo of the spirit pre vailing here in Fashion's realm, and no fashion ever yet invented, better deserted to be faithfully followed. An interesting seine took pleas to-day is the old Girard Bank. Owing to some mismanage ment of the powers that be, the school teae'wors have for some time past been unable to obtain any portion of their salaries, but the matter hav ing recently been arranged, about three hundred lady teachers presented their claims for the small and hard earned pittance that is allowed them as a salary. The smiles of satisfaction which adorn ed their pleasant faces as they tipped down the steps of the Bank were delightful to behold, and each went on her way rejoicing with a light heart that, for her the "hard times" were, at least for the present, over.

Business affairs are beginning to wear a bright er aspect, and the impression prevails that the worst is over Our financiers have for some time pest been exercising commendsbe caution and prudence in their operations. Compared with other large cities, the number of failures here has been remarkably small. Not a single Philadel phia broker has failed to meet all his obligations, and, with perhaps one or two exceptions they all still stand upon an excellent footing, and poems their credit untarnished. Our merchants, too, have held their own remarkably well. The Commissioners appointed by the Governor of this State to obtain contributors for the world's fair to be held in Paris in may next, have just issued a circular presenting the conditions upon which articles may be sent over to be submitted to the inspection of Johnny Crappeau. The goods should be salt to Paris by the 15th of Marsh, although some articles will be received as late as the 15th of April. Goods will be stored here gie of expense, and will also be sent from the sea port. in France, at which they land, to Paris without charge. Pennsylvanians wishing to become contributors must do so through the oommissonen whose chairman is Dr. A. L. Ken nedy of this City. All productions of human in dimity, except those of extravagant site, living animals and plants, substances liable to become putrid, &a., are admiasable. If Pennsylvania is ¶o participate in this exhibition at all, she should do so in a creditable manner, and her ar tisans, manufasturere and miners should at ones prepare their choicest specimens for the ceoaeion.

Mayor Wood has issued an annual message which pi °miens very well indeed. One thing which will give great satisfaction, if carried out, is the restriction of the frauds which are daily practised upon the emigrants landing at this port. There is a chain of organised bands of sharpers, extending from New York to the most distant points of emigra tion in the West, who regard every unfortunate foreigner as a lamb far the slaughter, or rather as a sheep to be sheared. The German and Swiss emigrants are the especial objects of their favor, as these generally come well stocked with money. The litish are too poor to pay for looking after, arriving, as they do, mere bundles of rage and filth, reedy for the poor-house.

All the arsenals and foundries belonging to the goverment, as well as all the private foundries and machine-shops, are in full operation, day and night, manufacturing large canon, small arms, marine steam-engine, &c. In fact, the minds of the Rossians are engrossed in the war: they think. of nothing elite, talk of nothing else; they are aroused, and determined to prosecute the war to the full extent of their resources, with all their - energy No doujt the allies will find a more tbrmidable foe than they anticipated, bat they will not yield until they accomplish their object." FOUND Dup.—We learn that m Saturday last a man was found dend in the woods in Plum township, a short distanee from the Crawford county line, by a person who was. out gunning. The body was not identified, but itis supposed to be that of a man seen about Christmas, in that neighborhood, evidently insane. He was lying upon his face, and be had no doubt perished from the oold. The insane person referred to was accompanied by a dog, and traces of one having lain against the dead body were visible. There was nothing found with the body by which it eould be ascertained who he was or where became from. He was near mix feet in height, fair hair, and apparentlyt about thirty years of age. Since the stole° was in type, we have received a more minute description of the ideating, *c,, from W. W. Davifon, &sq., and have also bow handed a printed circular from Mason Debris, of Usedilla, Cater county, N. Y. who wishes information relative to his ion, Clark Deforist, who left home, insane, last August.—On eau paring the two descriptions before us, we have no doubt they are of ones and the same person.

The interests of our great otwasereial emporium should receive the oessiderate attention of the Legislature. Her manufactures, trade and commerce, are of great and in creasing importance, and Philadelphia, as consolidated, in population, wealth, enterpriee and Intelligent e, ranks and nests the first cities of the Union. To Realms her the first among the cities of oar country, should be the pride of every Pennsylvania. Her interests are so identified with the interests of the State, that they cannot be *operated without injury to both. A prudent and liberal system of legislation, appropriate to her real wawa would promote her own and the interests of the Commonwealth. A sound currency is essential to the prosperity of a com mercial people. All classes of society, and every branch of industry, in their varied interests and •OuOuiliicai rela tions, are interested in securing and maintaining a safe circulating medium. To accomplish this result, wise and prudent legislation is necessary. The creation of a weal regulated, and carefully guarded system of banking. Is not only sound policy, but beneficial 0, toe legitimate trade and commerce of the country; and aids in des eloping her great natural and industrial resources. Our present syste.o of banking. with the limitations, reatrlcuons and liabiht.es, individual and otherwise, imposed by law on these institu tions. has become the bottled policy of the Mate The checks and guards thrown around them should oat oc lce need or removed.

This policy, honestly metaled upon and pursued, would protect the country front the dtasitrous ouneequences ot improvident banking. An extraordinary and unnecessary berease of Becks and banking facilities, in seasons of great pliant prosperity, leads to entravagarit and ruinous spec ulation.
