"THE NEW PARTY.
Under the above caption, the last Dem
ocratic paper of this borough, devotes a
considerable portion of its apace to a tirade
of abuse of those persons who have em
braced the American Party's principles.
We care not what societies may be formed
in our country, or how numerous they
may become, so long as they do not con
flict with our liberties or come in contact
with our constitution. Indeed, it is a
great, if not a fundamental principle of
our government, to allow to the citizens
of our free and happy land the privilege
of expressing themselves in relation to
whatever subject they may see proper : in
other words, to allow them the liberty pf_
speech. The Globe asserts that "tit
sands"—mark that generosity—"beco .
the willing members of this iniquitous or
der." If thousands of our fellow-citizens
"freely and voluntarily" subscribe to the
doctrines of Know Nothingism, without
any compulsory efforts on the part of any
lone to force them to do it, is it in all con
science any matter to the Huntingdon
Globe, or any other prying, peering, Ro-
I mish newspaper? We believe that our
fellow-citizens have a right to form any
society they may deem proper, if it does
not conflict with our governmental ar
rangements, and that without the consent
of foreigners, Catholics, Popes, Archbish
ops, Jesuits or the tools of any of the
I above named abominations. Now will
I the Globe permit us to attempt to answer
lits objections to the "New Party" and its
principles.
First.—Do you object on account of se
crecy ? Why then does the editor of the
Globe encourage secret organizations "
Why then does he uphold the principles
of a politico-religious party, as secret and
deadly in its purposes, actions and designs,
as secrecy can be made ? A party, which
but wants the tine to effect the complete
overthrow of our civil and religious insti
tutions, or prostitute them to the same base
level with those of the ruined countries,
where the contaminating and demoralizing
doctrines of papacy are preached and sus
tained. Our answer to this objection
would be—to overcome popery requires
that it should be fought with its own weap
ons, and one of the most powerful weapons
used by Roman Catholicism, is—accreey.
Or, is it because it would exclude for
eigners from the offices of our country ?
Is it just that we should, after clothing the
beggar, the pauper, the convict, or the
adventurer, and after having done every
thing for such characters that humanity
or Christianity teaches us to do, would it
be justice to our country to elevate them
to those stations which should only be fill
ed by those who are at heatt and soul the
lovers of the doctrines they would ex
pound to others ? Common Sense, will
answer no. Foreigners can never become
fully Americanized. Their proclivities are
for the land of their birth. Hence, they
cannot become impartial republicans; and
cannot—for which we cannot consistently
blame theta—become wholly, truly, sin
cerely and devotedly American in princi
ple.
Perhaps our neighbor objects to the
"New Party" on account of its hostility
to Catholicism. If such be the case, we
deplore his judgment. We had here
tofore not a word to say against Roman
Catholicism as a religion, but opposed it
solely on account of its political character
or tendencies. We done this, because
we considered it in a political point of
view as antagonistic to that portion of our
constitution which forbids the unity of
church and state, and, consequently per
nicious. But, since the late high-handed
and outrages proceedings of the Grand
Council of Bishops, &c., at Rome, under
the sanction and by order of the Pope—
the avowed head of the Catholic Church
over the world—by which, the doctrine
of the Immaculate Conception is announced
to the Christian world as the leading prin
ciple of Catholicism, hereafter, we deem
it the duty of every true believer in the
first commandment .of Almighty God, to
discountenance and war against the so
called rellgi'on itself. The doctrine now
held by Catholics, is that the Virgin Mau
should receive equal if not greater praise
than the Son of God ! This is the doc
trine of the so called Immaculate Concep•
tion. Is it a wholesome one ? Is it one
you us an American Protestant can con
, sistently with your profession permit to
gain a foot hold on this fair land, conse
crated by the blood of patriots, worshipers
of the true God? Can you, consistently
with the duty you owe to that God and
Country remain inactive, and by that in
activity lend encouragement and assistance
to the promulgators of this outrage upon
reason ? Yttr discountenance infidelity
and what is the religion of those who pro
fess a belief in the Immaculate eonception
but infidelity idolatry and superstition?
You believe in God—the Trinity—and yet
seek to discountenance the very movement
which reason and justice tell you is for the
removal of every vintage of false worship
which exists in our midst. We doubt
your sincerity—yea, we have no faith in
your profession if you can refuse to co
operate with those who we verily believe
have for their sole object the destruction
of Bable Rome, whose cup of iniquity is
now running over.
• Already we do hear following in the
footsteps of this American Protestant
Movement, the joyous shout, that "Baby
the gr ,- -at is falko, i fahou." Lo
"THAT INTELLECTUAL EUNUCH.'' '
If we mny judge of matter by the mind,
we cannot . or need not ask why so many
iudi: ideals are their own heirs. The Eu
nuch of the Glebe, because his efforts
answer our statements have proven com
plete failures, endeavors to cast opprobrium
upon a gentleman of this borough, in no
way connected with the public press, and
who is thus debarred the privilege of an
swering his insinuations. This is not on
ly ungentlemanly but it is cowardly con
duct. Therefore, to this scribbling, self
sold, soul hired, second Iscariot, we will
only confer a passing notice. It will no
doubt be recollected that the editor of the
Globe had kindly given notice that he in
„tended to keep us in employment for some
time to come. By this expression, we
presume, the editor intended to convey
the idea that we were to be entirely "kilt”
by his powerful leaders. But his tune has
somewhat changed in " these latter days,"
and now, he shows an evident disposition
to " cave in," " acknowledge the corn,"
and " gub it up," as a bad job. Be now
endeavors to flee from the snares which
his ignorance and folly have placed around
him, and which threaten most assuredly to
" slick him up." Alack ! alas ! poor Bil k
ly. Don't give up the ship, but
"Immortal hero all thy foes o'ereotue,
For ever reign—the rival of Tom Thumb l"
The laurels won by ancient bards, critics
or reviewers, fade into utter insignificance
and lose their beauty or worth contrasted
with the chaplet of glory, which Billy's
editorial career promises to place upon his
brow. Oh the worth, the depth, and the
glory of the Immaculate Conceptiona
beauty of the Globe. Will not some one
.hold him, for if 'he still continues his
mighty efforts,
The babe unborn thy dread intent may rue:
God help thee' silly one) thy readers too."
. _
In the last Globe the editor accuses us
of denouncing "some of our best citizens,
in a vile and uncalled for manner"--This
is simply; untrue. We never have and
never will say, a single word of disrespect
publically of any of our citizens,—and
further, we will never wlack an indl
victual who has not an opportunity of an
-BUnring us en the . same manner we attack
him. God forbid that we should in our
present disagreement with the Globe,
"Despatch a courier to a wizard's grave
And fight with honest men to shield a knave."
But, when we are attacked by individu
als whose names are veiled from the pub
lic sight, and who cowardly refuse to use
the weapons of honesty and truth, could
we be blamed or held responsible if we
would give these conquerors of common
sense the reward due their iniquitous and
villinous behaviour ?
The Globe hos embraced the doctrine
of those who do not fear to lie because it
seems a sharper hit, and do not shrink
from blasphemy because it may appear
smart. Thu weekly leader of the Globe,
remind us very much of smooth, garnish
ed monuments of mental agony, or the
petrifactions of a plodding brain. Olit,
wonder-working Lewis! Hail conjurer
of ten thousand visions. Health to thee,
great Mogul. But indeed we cannot but
think that this race which you have began
in your fully, will end in your disgrace.—
You must know that ere we have finished
and completed the worlc of reformation we
have began upon you, you must feel the
lush that virtue must apply.
We do not seek neither would we wish
to enter into controversy with every
"Monthly scribbler of some low lampoon,"
who is bought to furbish falsehood for ev
ery eight by-tenor in our country. We
do, however, sincerely desire that ere the
editor of the Globe shall be gathered to
his grandmothers he shall have shared in
- the promise of one who has said, some
where, that he would
"Make bad men better, or at least ashamed.'
In conclusion, as we have most un-
doubtedly proven that the editor of the
Globe, or his minions, are made of "pen-
etrable stuff;" having torn the veil away
which hid them from the public gaze, we
can only say
" Cheer on the pack."
The editor of the Globe verily ehotild talk
of training. He physically, a libel on
mankind, intellectually a eunuch; with
just enough of learning to misquote. Out
upon such graceless, senseless and con
temptible whelpism. We would advise
Billy to never venture beyond a "pull"
for some "doggery," or "cobbling" at three
line items, or tinkering at copper bottomed
worms for Baccus.
ger A scoundrel named J. C. Horning,
living in the upper end of the county, lest

the article referred to does gross injustice
to one of our most respected citizens, we
can hardly find terms properly to express
our indignation of the miscreant whose
malice prompted him to malign the up
right and good, by imposing on our credu

say on the subject next week.

8. L. GLASGOW, AGAIN.
Much no we dislike newspaper contro
versy with even decent and honorable
men (much more with men of manifestly
(no principle at all,) we nevertheless do
not feel disposed to pass in entire silence
and with that contempt which the above
named gentleman's communication, in the
last Shirleysburg Herald, deserves. It is
our opinion, and we have the concurrence
of the'most honorable and respectable cit
izens in the community, that a more gross
and scurrilloui article was never laid be
fore a people enjoying the least degree of
respectability. Of course we cannot pros
titute our columns to so degrading an office
as to answer such miserable ribaldry.—
Our conscience forbids it. The respecta
bility of our readers forbids it. The mor
al sense of the community forbids it.—
The respect we owe to the purity and
moral training of the youth who read our
paper forbids it. The teaching of the
ble forbids it, which says, "Answer not a
fool according to his folly lest thou be like
him."
For the sake of those respectable
Lions which he, by his deceptive manage.
merit and serpentine subtilty, formed, we
shall say nothing about the money with
which he was entrusted as treasurer of a
Literary Society while vt school at Gettys
burg, and which
_he refused to pay his
successor in office—nor do we wish to say
anything about cheating the landlord with
whom he boarded in Huntingdon, out of
a large sum for boarding—nor yet of his
purchasing furniture in I'hila., under false
pretences—and sundry other nefarious and
fraudulent tricks which we do not wish
for the above reason to disclose; but with
respect to his assertions and appeals to
heaven concerning collecting or not collect
ing money due us, we must say something,
though it does bring to light the odious
and corrupt character and principles of
the man. Besides the case already pub
lished in the Joternal with regard to his
attempt to collect money from the Pheas•
ant Estate—an act which he makes an awk
ward attempt to deity, we will refer to an
other case of a similar nature, which as
little truth as he has in him, he must also
admit, we refer to the caseof Henry Bum
gartner, whose subscription due us, he had
the effrontery to collect, by law, before ,
D. Clarkson, Esq., of Cassville, and after
all appeals to the omniscient God for the
uprightness of Ms conduct—poor fallen
human nature !
With respect to his hints and innuendoes
concerning our character end course while '
residing in Cnssville and leaving of that !
place, we are willing he should say of it,
just what his unholy, and execrable dis•
position may prompt, or ns it respects our
character at any other place, we are nt
his defiance. For the sake of our own
credit, and the expressed wishes of our
most respectable friends, we do not feel
disposed to pay any further attention to the
low, vulgar, contemptible, effusions of S.

Locofocoism going to Pieces.
If anything, in addition to the terrible
defeats that everywhere come upon the
Locofoco party, were wanting to assure
of the utter prostration of that party, it
can be found in their humiliating . nppeuls
for Whig aid. The leaders of that party
always professed to believe that the Whigs
were about the worst class of men any
government or country could produce, and
such terms as traitor, &c., they freely ap
plied to them. Now however, the tune
is changed; the Whigs would be a very
clever set of fellows if they would only
turn in and arrest the flood that is sweep
ing Locolocoism from political existence.
But who is weak enough to suppose that
Whigs are sufficiently verdant to be caught
by these lachrymose appeals? Every
groan of expiring bocofocoism falls upon
Whigs like the most grateful music ; and
the death of that party will twine the lau- .
rel, rather than the cypress around the
patriotic brow of the Whigs of the coun
try. Its grave will draw the spirit of joy
and congratulation, rather than the tear of
pity or sympathy ; for when the "lion and
the lamb can lie down together," then may
the Whigs be willing to shake hands with
their bitter enemy, Locofocoism, and not
before.
The True American's Manual for 1858.
Messrs De Witt & Davenport of New
York have been so clever as to send ua a
copy of the Know.Noihing Almanac or
True American's Manuel. It is got up in
the best of style, it c intains about 70 pa
ges of matter, the calculations are adapted
to copal or clock time, it gives all the cus
tomary astronomical table, &c. But as a
book of reference is is inavailable.
It is often the case that a Native, Amer.
icon, an American Democrat, a Whig of
'76, or a Know-Nothing, desires to en.
lighten a friend, on the subject of Ameri
canism versus foreignism, and to such we
would suggest this volume of facts, as a
Auitable gift to be sent to friends at a dis
tance. We hope our American friends
will use their influence in extending the
usefulness of a work published in their
name. We would advise friends of the
order to send for a quantity.

Foreign News.
The steamship Baltic arrived at
New York on the Pith inst bringing later
news from Europe. At the seat of war
Lord Ragland had sent a messenger to
Sevastopol, to announce the death of the
Emperor Nicholas, and at Eupatoria,
Omar Pacha had also sent a messenger to
announce the same event to Prince Radzivil,
the Russian commander in that quarter.
A continual fire was kept up at Sevasto
pol, hetween the French and Russians,
but the French have not renewed their at
tack on the Russian works near the Mal
akoff tower, which are, therefore, nearly
completed. The Russians have greatly
strengthened their works opposite the
main points of the allied attack, and some
of their works in progress are in such a
position that it is thought the allied Gene
rals will be obliged to order an attack. At
a council of war, held by the allied com
manders on the (butt, it was resolved to
commence active operatidns. The health
of the troops was satisfactory. Reinforce.
ments have reached the Russians. Ad
vices, from Odessea bring a report that
Prince Menchilcoff has died of typhus fe
ver. A french hospital has been destroy.
ed by fire, but no lives were lost in it.—
Lord Raglan will not return unless recal
led. 40,000 French troops arc to be en
camped at Constantinople. Poland is fil
led with troops, every village having its
garrison. In Prussia, a Motion for an
address to the King, censuring the minis•
serial policy on the Eastern question, has
been rejected. At the Vienna Conferen
ces the first of the four points has been
adopted by all the negotiators. It pro•
vides for a joint protectorate of all the four
great powers over the l'rincipalities, in
stead of the previous single protectorate
of Russia. According to the London
Morning Advertiser; Lord Dundonald's
plan for destroying Cronstadt has been ac
cepted by the British government, and
will be put to the test in June or July.—
The Turkish government is said to be op
posed to the first point of the - negotiatines,
and has endeavored to get Prussia into the
I negotiations.
The Steamship Illinois arrived at New
York on Saturday the 7th inst from Aspinal
bringing California ad vices to March 16th,
one week later than previous dates, and
$710,000 in gold. There is nothing ape

A vessel has sailed from Honolulu with
two American 'merchants and a cargo of
merchandise for the port of Bazkodai, in
Japan, where they intend to establish

Adams es- Co. having got to Oregon by
land, several days in advance of the reg

warded the news secured themselves
against loss. When the steamer arrived
she bore nn order fr)rn a California Court
Ito the person in charge of the Oregon
branch to hold the assets, subject. to the
further order of the California receiver for
the benefit of the California creditors, but
this was disregarded, and on assignment
made at once for the beneht of the Oregon
creditors. The Snake Indians, who com
mitted the Fort Boise massacre, are now
quiet, and are now endeavoring to repro

Ma. EDITOR:—I do not wish to give you too
windy a letter, but I do wish to let you know
of the perfect simoon we have had here. The
streets, notwithstanding the good sweepings
they have had, are filled with dust. Dust
blows into your eyes, your nose, your mouth,
and your ears, almost making you deaf, dumb,
and blind. You leave your house in the mor•
ning for your office, with fresh linen ; before
you accomplish half the distance, you look like
a respectable ash man• It is useless to try to
keep clean. You have a plenty of real estate
on your hands, but it is not very valuable, as
you cannot get it off. ladies go gasping along
trying in vain to protect themselves from the
interminable dust, by thick, green veils. Gen.
demon's black whiskers, and the hair, coming
below the hat, and fifteen minuets' walk in
Broadway, assume somewhat the appearance
of the wigs of the old English judges. In fact
there is dust above, below, and around.—
Should any one doubt that we were made of
dust, if he were to come here, he would be
convicted that dust would coca become one of
the composite parts of our being,—if this
high wind continues.
The Atlantic arrived on the 27th inst., being
seventeen days on the patussage. Sense people
wonder a little that all of a sudden the Allan.
tic Ocean should have become so stormy, and
the winds so contrary. The steamers are now
about twelve or thirteentlays crossing, whereas
they formerly were but eleven or twelve at
most. 'We have our own private impression
that the non•nppropriation by Congress of the
sum to Mr. Collins, has something to do with
the matter. We think that Mr. Collins, finding
that he has got all sot of the government which
he will be likely to, has concluded to ccono•
mite in coal, and not to take extra poi''s to
arrive a day or so earlier. It makes a vast
difference its the expenses of a trip from Liv.
erpool, wheather they ere a slay longer or shot..
ter. For instance, it will take aeertain amount
of coal to drive the vestal twelve miles an
hour. To drive it thirteen miles an bola, it
requires twice as muchn and PO increeses in
about the same ratio. Besides this the Cunard
line has taken off the passage, so there is no
competition to hasten Mr. Collins' lino along.
We think, therefore, that the average time fur
a passage, will now he about thirteen days.
The Asia has arrived at lining, after a
passage of thirteen days. She does not bring
very important news. The Allies have reopen•
ed their fire on Sevastopol, and it is said with
some success. A manifesto from the new Em.
peror of linssia ta his army Is thought to

A NEW POTATO is CIMINO Ocxl—Professor
Maps has received a new California potato
brought thence by Mr. C. V. Mundy, of Now
Brunswick. weighing ftweepounds seven oun.
cos. Its apearance gives indication of being
a good keeper, and of excellent quality. The
eyes protrude like those of the Bermud a pa
tato. The gentleman who brought it from
California remarked at the Farmers' Club,
New York, that those potatoes were grown at
the rate of 700 bushels to the acre; also that
the mammoth tuber referred to will be planted
on the farm of Prof. Maps, who will report on
its merits or demerits, as the case ma be,
hereafter. Next fall there will probablybe as

The Election Riots in Cinoinnatti.
Ten or heelre P0'80713 reported killed or mor
tally wounded— Allegations of Frand—The
result undecided,
CINCINNATTI, April 3.
The result of yest erday'e election is still un•
decided. It is alleged that fraud has been dis
covered in the Twclft Is Ward, whirl) gave Far.
rem, (Dem,) for Mayor, about 500 majority,
and it is now proposed to throw out the entire
vote. If this is done, Taylor, the Know Noth
ing candidate, will have about 100 majority ;
but if the vote of this ward is continued, Far
ren will have from 400 to 500 majority. The
Eleventh Ward, the ballot boxes of which
were destroyed by the mob, is supposed to
have given Farren, (Dein.,) from 500 to 700
majority; and had the entire vote of the city
been counted, the whole Democratic ticket
would have been elected by from 600 to 1000
majority.
There was no more rioting l as t n i g ht, The
excitement is still very great. It is suing's.'
that ten or twelve persons have been killed or
mortally wounded. Pistols were discharged
indiscriminately, and tho only wonder is, that
the destruction of lifo was not greater. It was
altogether, the most disgraceful election-day
ever experienced in Cincinnati.

The Result Changed.
CINCINNATI, April 3-7 P. M.
It was ascertained upon an investigation of
the ballot boxes in the Twelfth Ward, that
they contained fifty-five mare tickets than there
were names on the poll•books, and one of the
Judges of the election insisted upon throwing
out the entire vote, but the other would not
agree to the proposition. While the Judges
were counting the votes a body of the men for
ced theirwav into the rooms, and seizing the
boxes containing the tickets, curried them, to
gether with the tally sheets, into theopen street,
and horned them in the presence of the crowd,
The votes of the 11th awl 12th words nre
thus destroyed. The votes of the remaining
wards give Taylor, the Know-Nothing candi.
date for Mayor, 477 majority. The Know•Nuth
ings contend that there was a largeillegal vote
polled in all the wards.
It is reported that Mr. Taylor will not nrrept
the office of Mayor under these circumstnw
