The Turner Jubilee.

The Turnerbund had grand picnic at
Lemon Hill yesterday. Besides the Turner's
and their ladies' an immense number OF others
attended to witness the sport. The quantity
of lager beer swallowed was astonishing, and
the eymnastic exercises and the dancing con-
tributed is the interest of the occasion There
were about 80 officers of the MarshaPs police
on the ground, and 1t was thought they would
be able to preserve the peace. They lid so
up till about o'clock, just before it was pro-
posed to end the fun. Suddenly, there was
a scuffle observed on the dancing platform,
and it was evident that fight had commenced.
Lieutenant White assembled a small party of
the police, to subdue the row. The turner's
then ceased fighting among themselves; the
leaders blew their horns, and the men tore up
the railing around the platform, to furnish
themselves with clubs. 4 general row then
ensued as the Turner's. in as regular order
as if they had been drilled, rushed to attack
the officers, and prevent any arrests. The of
fcers drew their billies and revolvers, and
blazed away, but without avail The Turn
ers came rushing on, using their clubs, mis-
siles of various kinds, and knives, with ter
rible effect and the officers were compelled to
fly for their lives. Nearly every oficerin the
party received a blow, and some were very
badly beaten. Watchman Samuel Mansfield
was stabbed in the back, and very dangerous
ly woun1ed Officer VIM. Myers was knoc-
ked speechless. Lieutenant White was struck
on the back of the head and officer John H.
Parker was terribly cut about the head. FL
nally, about twenty of the Turner's were ar
rested and conveyed to the nearest lookup.
Watchman Mansfield and the other wounded
officers were conveyed to their residences The
condition of the watchman was very preca-
rious We saw his vest at the station-house.
1t was fairly saturated with blood, and the
place where the knife entered, was clearly
marked The weapon used appears to have
been a dirk of considerable length.

Mormonism-The DeIusion in England.

The Mormon delusion is on the increase
not only in the United States but in Europe.
The avowal of polygamy as one ofthe doctrines
of the saints, seems to have had no effect
whatever in checking the infatuation, and this,
too, in this age of literature, knowledge, and
civilization. We confess that we are puzzled
to understand this matter. The founder of
Mormonism was an illiterate adventurer, and
the master-spirits of the present day are little
better. They have grated upon their system
a most icentious feature, and yet converts con-
tinue to pour in, and these, too, from the in
dustrious, thriving and, generally speaking,
moral portion of the population. On recent
occasion in England, Mr.. Richards was ex-
amined by the Select Committee on emigrant
ships
''He describes himself as PRECEDENT OF the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
Great Britain, and agent and passenger bro
ker In this course of his evidence he said:
We have about sixty thousand members of
our community in this country, including
children. The country is divided into districts
each with its president, and the work of pros
leytism is proceeding quite satisfactorily Our
converts are more from dissenting bodies than
from the Church of England.
'' 1t is not condition of conversion that
they should leave this country within GER
tain time, but it is authoritatively advised
that they should emigrate, and gather to the
main body in Utah, where our numbers are
between forty and fifty thousand, l engage

Great Meeting in Bedford.

The Democracy of Bedford County met in
the town of Bedford, on Monday, and adopt
ed a series of resolutions endorsing the State
and National administrations, rcpudiatlng
Know Nothingism.
The following reasons were given for oppo-
sition to Judge Pollock
1st. Because he is member of the secret
sworn combination denominated KNOW
Nothings"
2nd Because he has sworn not to vote for
or appoint to Office any man who was not born
in this country.
Bird. Because he has sworn that he would
not vote for or appoint to office any man who
believed in the doctrines of the CatholicChurch
whether born in this country or not
4th Because he has sworn, not to appoint
to office any man, whose father was not
born in this country, and believer in the
Protestant Religion.
5th. Because he has pledged himself to
sign any Prohibitory Liquor Law the Le-
gislature may pass, thus casting away the
great provision in the Constitution which
requires him to decide upon the merits of
Law, should he be elected Governor.
9th. Because he stands pledged to the doc
trines of '.Free Trade and has abandoned
all the old issues for which the Whig party
have heretofore contended.
9TH Because he has refused to meet our
candidate, VIM. Bigler, face to face before
the people, thus exhibiting a disposition to
conceal his real sentiments from public scru-
tiny, a course of conduct repugnant to every
principle of an American Freeman.
For these, and many other reasons which
we might adduce, we deem it duty we owe
to ourselves, to our families, to the Constitut-
ion of the Commonwealth, and to posterity,
to oppose the election of james Pollock; and
we accordingly pledge ourselves, individually
and collectively, to carry out the spirit ofthis
resolution.

JUDGE POLLOCK.

1t is a remarkable fact that not single wing
paper, published in the city of Philadelphia, has
vet denied the charges of the ''Pennsylvanian and
Argls'' about Judge Pollock's connection with
the Know Nothings-- 1t is said that he joined the
lodge in their very midst, and if not true, they
ought to know something about it. 1t may be
as the Alleghanan says, that Sheriff Allen has
denied that he was present at the time and place
mentioned by the Pennsylvania, when and where
Judge Pollock was initiated. But all that does
not prove the falsity of the charge. Why does
Judge Pollock's other friend, Mayor Conrad, re
main silent 50 long? If he will publish over his
own signature that he was not present, and then
if Mr. Pollock will publicly deny it, as he ought
to do if it FALSE the editor of the Pennsylvanian
is bound before the people ofPennsylvania to mako
good his charge. He has sought the issue him
elf and he cannot avoid its responsibility.
At very early day in the campaign Judge
Pollock proclaimed his hostility. to the passage OF
the Nebraska BILL and yet up to this time he and
his friends permit the grave and serious charge of
KNOWN Nothingism against him, to remain unan-
swered, uncontradicted. We hope that Judge
Pollock will screw his courage up to the sticking
point and deny it it viii settle very interesting
controversy and VIII place the wing can
ditiate where he ought to be, and where his party
has always been, in deadly hostility IN all "Sofct
political societies.

Secret Political Societies.

Secret political societies are not the natural
productions of American soil They .ro
noxious exoties, transplanted from the 10.
houses of European despotism. Our institn-
tions, the genius of our people, the very at.
mosphere of our climate are hostile to ,bo;.
growth. There is nothing in the system of
our government which justifes any portion
of our citizens in going steathily to work un-
der cloak of secret organization, to alter
our laws or to affect their administrator
Freedom of speech is guaranteed to all bv
the organic laws of the country. No govern
mental censorship of the press, the pulpit Or
the bar, the S, s,nate. or the hustings is autbo
rized or asserted, and every man may a,
his pleasure promulgate his sentiments upop
whatever subject, free from all interference
or restraint. The people may meet together
when and where they will. and discuss all
questions of public or local concern, without
the presence of an insolent soldiery or a vexa
tious policy to watch their actions What
plea, then, can any American citizen possibly
offer for attaching himself to body of men
who are pursuing course Of political con-
duct which they are unwilling their fellow
citizens should see and Judge of 1t may do
in Europe, rotten with the accumulated cor
ruption of thousand years, but upon our viz
gin soil, beneath our genial climate, and uu-
der our free laws we have no need to resort
to this desperate expedient of an enslavsd
people 20 free their necks from the yoke of a
tyrant and despot.
