Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1854-09-21

Sothingism has developed himself, at which re-
solutions have not been passed placing its seal
cf condemnation upon it. This is the proud and
noble position occupied by the democracy OF
Pennsylvania on this important question.
On the other hand James Pollock has been re-
peatelly and distinctly charged by the leading
democratic paper of the state, with being mem
Der of this secret order, and the Editor of that /
paper has pledged himself to produce the proof of
the charge, and to convict Judge Pollock before |
the freemen of Pennsylvania, if it is denied by |!
that gentleman, else stand self-convicted OF a
falsehood. And yet James Pollock has not seen
proper to say one word on the subject He has
addressed his political friends in several portions
of the state, but on this subject they just as
wise now as when he left home and we predict
that up until the day of the election they will re-
main in the same state of glorious uncertainty.
One of his travelling companions from Harris
burg TO Altoona, was the notorious Editor of the
Telegraph, the leading organ of Pollock in this
state, Stephen Miller, man whose vile and in
cendiary writngs,-whose foul and villanous
abuse 81 adopted citizens; whose wanton, malici-
| GUS and fendish attacks the Catholic religion,
its ministers and members, have made his very
! name by-word and reproach among all decent
and respectable citizens.-Such is the man who Is
the accredited organ of the Wing candidate for
Governor; such is the political reputation OF at
least one of the men in whom lie delights as
travelling companion
Tell me the kind of company you keep and l
! will tell YOU what kind of you are, is an
old and very true Spanish proverb. The Wing

honorable exceptions, the 4AHeghenian being one,
has tacily connived at the base purposes OF these
! Pcnnsylvania Jacobins, and not one of them has
| openly declared by authority of James Pollock,
| that he is not member of the order.-Not one of
their candidates for Office, in any one county OF
the state, has had the courage publicly to de
uounce it in not of their.political meetings
! has a resolution been passed repudiating il, nor
has one of their orators, all of whom in the days
of Anti masonry eloquent in their de-
nunciations of all secret political societies,
yet raised his voice against t.-Such is the Wing
party of Pennsylvania and such the humilatng
attitude it now occupies before the people.
Let IL, now for moment look at home.-Did
John R. Edie, the Wing candidate for Congress in
| this District, hold the Know-Nothings up to the
scorn and contempt of his hearers at the Whig
meeting held on Court week 4? Did NJ. d. Mage
han. the once rabid decaimer against Masonry,
lash them in style peculiar to himself? No !
| They be'aboured the Kansas and Nebraska bill
and to say the least of it were the silent apologsts
| of the Know Nothings. Not with Gen. Dodge
! and Judge Shannon at the democratic melting
They boldly and like national democrats, adyC-
Gated the political and religious rights of all and
their eloquent appeals responded to by the
shouts Of an approving democracy
But at the whg meeting aforesaid, an Edward,
a greater than Danie, came to judgment. The
first resolution offered by the committee of which
| Edward Hutchinson the Chairman, falsely
and impudcntly styles the ''Locofoco'' party All
'sAah- 4merican' organization that was very
modest in the Chairman, when every one who has
ever read the political history of the United States
knows that the democratic party has always been
the steadfast supporter of the liberties of the
country well as the bold defender of the rights
of her citizens whether at home or abroad. The
chairman the conclusion of the resolution speaks
of the ''conserratre doctrines' of Clay, Webster
and Scott as a sure guaranty that the institutions
of our country safe. Has he forgotten how in
1852, the General loved to hear the '.rich Irish
Jrogue" and the ''sreet German accent" If that
was conservative in Scott, the Wing party now is
desructire, in much its ally, its prop and its
hope, the Know Nothings, would soon listen to
the unntelligible jargon of South Sea Islander
Us to the "rich brogue" of an Irishman the
''stCeet accent of German.-But why pursue
this subject the people are honest and intelli-
gent they read and reflect and not to be
humbugged by such senseless glorificaton of the
conservative doctrines of Clay, Webster and
Scott, al of which are obsolete and will continue
to be so, as long tie Wing party maintains its
present organization. Men of Cambriai it is
for you to decide which of the candidates is wor
thy of your support and in deciding. bear in mind
that you decide for your posteriy well as your
selves
THE STATE DEBT REDUCED.
