The fall of Bomarsund is confirmed by this

leaving only garrison of two thousand, and
that it was intended to evacuate and destroy
the works entirely, but the attack of the allies
prevented this intention from being carried

Fifteen sail of the line of which four ships

THE CONTRAST.

When our forefathers had concluded to
throw off the yoke of kings, they made a dec
laration of independence signed by their own
hands and sent it to the world to be tested, to
stand or fall as public sentiment and courage
might determine. Ever since that day, the
true lovers of our country have thrownout the
banner of freedom publicly to the world and
emblazoned upon its ample fold in characters
that all might read the principles upon which
they hope and expect to conquer.
With this cue, the democratic party have
at all times followed the example set them,
and IN THE OPEN DAY proclaimed their
doctrines, and challenged the opposition of
the land. They have never slumbered nor
feared the light They court investigation. They
dare the scrutinising of the most subtitle, to
try them by the most powerful lenses which
argument or even sophistry can bring to bear
on any tenet and the American people have
endorsed them in almost every issue.
The party places itself this fall upon the
same high platform Governor Bigler and
our other candidates have replied to all the
letters of inquiry, on whatever subject,
which have been propounded to them. Their
responses have been bold, open and manly
and nothing has been kept back or concealed.
How has it been with our opponents? They
skulk from the the daylight They seek the
shades of secrecy and obscurity AS of old,
where their candidates were not allowed to
answer fr themselves, but met all inquirers
with TASK my committee" so now we are re-
ferred to all the isms of the day for their re-
plies and compelled to put up silence even
from these. NIr. Pollock did answer the
temperance men, it is true; but lately his
mouth is stopped and now though challenged
again and again to speak, he knows nothing
and will say less to the public.
He was to meet Bigler on the stump, Wt
were boastingly told but no sooner had the
raftsman tied up his craft to meet him thar
he took the water and has not been seen a.
yet in the forum. Freemen, citizens, demo

date for Canal Commissioner, has been charg-
ed with having joined the Know Nothings.
This charge has been repeated over and over
again for the last month, and Mr.. Mott has
never denied it. Why is this? Mr. Mott is
the nominee of party that denounces the
Know Nothings, and yet he refuses to answer
the charge. We hope he will contradict the
charge without any further delay;-but until
he does so, We feel bound to believe it."
AUeghanian.
We clip the above paragraph from an edi-
tDrial article in the ''Alleghenian'' of last
week. If the Editor was sincere, in the ex-
preston of his hope that Mr. Mott would con-
tradict the charge acithOm any further delay,
we presume he has been fully relieved from
all doubt on the subject, by perusal of Mr..
Motifs letter which We published in our last
number and in which he emphatically denies
that he ever had or ever desired to have any
connection with the Jacobinical conclave of
Know Nothings. If the Editor was so deeply
o,ncerned about Henry S. Motifs connection
with that society We hope he will publish his
letter, in order that his readers may have the
full benefit oft
We are very well satisfied, that the Editor
of the Alleghanian has no manner of sym
pathy with the Know Nothing pirates he is
o respectable man, and none such who pro-
perly estimates the good opinion of this COM
munity, would hazard his fair name and re-
prtation by even a quasi-endorsement of their
foul and pestilent doctrines tina. he despises
them with hearty good will we cheerfully
admit and that he foresees the baleful effects
on society which would result from the sue
oessfull propagation of their infamous creed,
his intelligence as well as his desire tor the
preservation of the political as well as religious
rights of his neighbors fully attest.
The Editor is whig-we may say an
ultra .ohig, although his Magnus Apollo, Ho-
race Greely, his fayorite candidate for the
next Presidency, has sadly degenerated, in
these days of whig and abolition fusion, from
the political faith of Henry Clay. 1t being
conceded then, that the Editor is perfectly
sound in his opposition to Know Nothingism
aud that he expressed his true sentiments
