A LESSON.

The result in Pennsylvania isanoth-
er illustration Of a truth we have been
vainly endeavoring to force upon the
Democratic press, viz: that the more
the Know Notbings are villiied and
abused, the stronger they become. We
have seen a good deal Of party invec-
tive in our days. but not even the ter
rifle onslaughts once Ievellet at Henry
Clay were equal to the foul calumnies,
virulent vituperation and loathsome
diatrIbes hurled upon the Know No
things, by that delectable organ of the
administration - the Pennsylvania.
That journal was daily receptacle of
foul and filthy TRADES. No epithet in
the vocabulary of bestial language seem.
ed too vulgar for its purposes. Itsre-
pertory Of slang was fairly exhausted
after stripping our copious vernacular
of all vilest words. it proceeded COOL y
and deliberately to entertain its read
ers for several days before the election
with the most transparent SANDERS and
inventions respecting an order. OF
whose resolves and acts it was neces-
sarily ignorant.
Our democratic brethren have had a
sad and solemn truth to learn. and per-
haps Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana
may impress it on their understands
ings. unless they are stricken with ju-
di.ial blindness. That truth is sins
ply this: that "Iies, like chickens, all
ways come home to rOost." Let our
democratic brethren combat Know NJ
thingism, if they please. Let them
disprove its doctrines, if they can. Let
the issue be fairly made up, and pre-
scented to ths Amerran people. In

STEPHEN A. DouoLAs.-This filibus-
ter and arch demagogue is canvassing
the State of lllinois making speeches.
He justiiies his action on the Nebraska
question by claiming that the act will
have the effect to ssextend the area Of
Freedom" From late accounts We see
he has been kicking up quite Breese.
In other words, ex-senator Breese has
felt himself called upon to expose the
hypocrisy and double-dealing of Doug

the Presidency. the ,lispensation of the
patronage of Illinois was entrusted to
the hands Of MI. Douglas. Instead Of
recommending the appointment of the

NoRrH cARoLlSA.-No State in the
Union can boast better soil and eli
mate. ar more Intelligent. indastri-
Gus and Law abiding people than North
Carolina. Removed equally from the
severe winters Of the North and the
burning summers or the South. she is
never seoursged with the terrible cpl
denies which annually sweep millions
to the tomb. The productions Of the
North and the fruits and flowers Of the
Tropics spring spontaneously from her
valleys and maintains, and deep below
her surface is found inexhaustible guam
titles Of gold, lead. iron. silver and
copper.
North Carolina is blessed not only
with material. but with moral and in
tellectual riches. Her taxes are light
er, her laws are milder and better exc
cuted, and her institutions Of learning
are equal to any State in the Union
Here mubs are unknown, and the cold
blooded murders. which the Press dai
ly records in other regions. here sell
dom occur.
North Carolina was once considered
the best State in the Union to moyy
from. She was then neither appreciat
ed at home or respected abroad. Tha
day we hope has passed away forever

her daughters and the talents Of hel
sons long continue to form a moral an,
political bulwark. impregnable alik,

This was the single act u iakunanity
I saw perpetrated by this army flushed
with victory aud animated By angry

nv had unqaestisnably endangered
their lives Of feroeioHs folly.
Many Of the Russians had small eros
ses and chains fastened round their
necks. Several were found with Ko-
rams in their knapsaeks-most probably
recruits frsm the Kansas Tariars. Ma
ny Of the officers had portraits Of wives
or mistresses, of mothers or sisters, in
side their coats.
The prisates wore the little money
they possessed in purses fastened be-
low their left knees. and the men. ia
their eager search after money. often
caused the wounded painful apprehen-
sions that they were about TO destroy
them. Lastnight all these poor wretch
es lay in their agony nothing could
be done to help them. The groans,
the yells, the cries of despair and suf-
fering. were mournful commentary
ON the crultation Of the victors and on
the joy which reigned along the BIZ

markable. The prisoners are general
