private Conversations their papers entirely silent
the subject. We do not wish to do Judge Poll
injustice, and, not the charge preferred a
gainst him in the pointed terms in which il is, we
should certainly not aid in giving II currency. The
Argus, il will be seen, fixes the time and the place
when and where he joined, and the Editors assert
that they have abutdaAtand coa0inciag proof of the
fact. We herewith suboin the article from the
Argus 10 which allude. 1t speaks for ITSELF
James Pollock a member Of the "NnoW
NOthingS."
BiGLER REJECTED BY THE s.hNow NoTHINGs''-s
The Washington Commonwealth learns from PhiIael
pha that Governor BlgIer applied for admission into
the society Of Know Nothlnss, but was rejected
Meas.
This of course is fabrication OF the most silly
character. 1t will deceive one. Governor Blgier
known TO be opposed 10 this secret political rrll
glous society and all proper occasions has deuoun
ced il attempt TO tnugle the bitterness OF re-
ilEious preludlces IN our political canFasses The
Wings and their allies must tax their ingenuity for
plausible invention, they Will loose their old
and we-estabished character Tor aerotuess In
ulacturlng 1alsehoods for all occasions.

These are the facts with relation To Mr.. Pollock
Il III
the most abundant and convincing proof. The time,
the place, the circumstances In connection with the
admission! of Mr.. Pollock all known IN this city,
The members of the Known Nohing organiza ton
claim hfn their cauddate and member of
their order, full communion with all its proscri2-
tive ideas. II Mr.. Pollock is elected ustead OF the
State Government being conducted on the broad,
open, basis of the Constitution, and the equality OF
all under that sacred instrument, the directing
hand VIII be controlled by the oah socieg
proscnptlVe IN Its character, and based upon the
bodes and most ultra doctrine OF religions Fersecit-
ton. Mr. Pollock is sworn 10 deprive portion OF
our fellowcltzens OF their equality OF rights because
they do not worship in The that he does;
another, because they were not bonn upon the soil OF
tins couutry; and still anoiher because their fathers
We've not native to the country, may have been
believers particular religious faith. This is
doctrine 10 be- preached or the soil OF old Pennsyl-
Vania and attempted 10 be forced her citizens by
means OF sworn secret society. Hoe+ylll the hon
oil
TO make aliens o their children and ostracIse them
from the benefits of civil and religious liberty? The
Star-chambeT OF England, and the lnqulsoral nstl
tntloDs oil other countteS are Justly repTobated by
all lovers OF the rights OF conscience but how do they
differ in practical consequences from the order of
hnow-Nothugs. 1o be sure, they deprive OF
life we'll as liberty. That was d feature of the
barbarous aye IN which their organization exis
ted. The spirit that leads TO take
oath TO prescribe another account OF his religious
faith, will induce BIN TO burn him at the stake, aud
the know-Nohnglsni, OF 1851, of which Mr.. Pol
lock is member, is Identical in all its features with
The most baTbarous crusaders of the middle ages.
For the purpose OF conrtng success, the Wing par
ty and lis candidate, Mr.. Pollock, have affiliated
wih this society, and bound haHd and fool to
| bloody Car Ar. Dar>ie, the Wing nominee for Ca
nal Commissioner, IS not Native OF this country
and hence he IS 10 be superseded by Mr. @Spicer of
the Native American State ticket, and member OF
the Known othings. In this the ticket is 10
be prepared for the allied forces. The question:
therefore, for the citizens of Pennsylvania 10 decide
Isl shall the fire of religious persecution be lighted
/ IN this old Commonwealth, and It's laws subjected
TO the bghtiug influence of sworn secret order -
Shall the ballot box and the jury ROOM be polluted by
the presence OF spirit alien 10 the genius OF our free
institutions, and PaTalySng 10 all the best and dear
est interests OF offreemeH4-Sha our Legislative Halls
be converted into Star Chambers where the rrigi-
opinions of portion of citizens viii subject
them 10 the o0to de je of Know-Nothing vengeance
Shall the Supreme Bench be invaded by this demon,
and line administration OF our laws subjected 10 its
fell and pestlentia purposes? All these questions
are attempted 10 be senced on the part OF Wings
with the cry OF Antl-NebTaSka and the advance Of
slavery by the establishment OF the principle OF self
government IN the Territorial governments OF Kan
saS and Nebraska
This, however, win not satisfy the people. They
ask from the Wing candidates. Mr. Pollock an ad-
mission denial of the fact OF his attachment the
/ Know Nothing organization. Cor. Bigier Is not a
eenfber, nor d/d he nuke appiicvhon. Mr.. Poi
lock IS memJer. We have given the time and place
| OF his admssion-the oaths taken by him, which are
openly al variance with the Constitution of the Uni-
ted States and that OF the State of Pennsylvania and
we ask the citizens of the Commonwealth of Peuna.
