The Thugs.

The Thugs Of Iindostan are are association
who believe that it is their duty to externnate
all who do not belong to their own Order. They
meet in secret lodges, and are sworn with solemn
oaths They lie in wait for unsuspecting passers-
by, and, attacking them suddenly and without
warming, strangle them. The higher the position
and character of tie victim, the more mertorious
the act. The Thug who stranglcs the largest
number of victims in the course of a year, is re
warded with the title of Grand Thug of the Coun-
ell, and invested with despotic power. If auy
Thug refuses to yield unquestioning and implicit
confidence to the commands of the Grand Thug,
they make an image or effigy of him, which they
burn, at the same time stoning and cursing it.
This is supposed to visit him with all manner of
misfortunes. After this, any Thug who meets
him is bound to stab Lim to the heart, provided
he can do so without risk of detection Every
member Of the Order is sworn to deny his connec7.
ton with it, and, when interfogated, to say he
knows nothing about it. When apprehended
and brought to justice, they claim to be persons
of the greatest morality and virtue, and justify
their acts by saying that they only wish to estab-
lish the true religion, (viz. their own,) and to
prevent foreigners, (vz.: all who are not Thugs,)
from getting control of the country.
Hence, in the Eastern cities the Know Nothinss
are called Thugs, or HinGoos Democratic On
ion.

its full share of satire, but we can assure the
Doctor we enjoy some of his hits with peculiar
gusto. Dr. Dixon possesses, as the reader
will perceive by the cut, remarkable rcsem-
blance to Louis Napoleon; bnt We sec no re-
semblance In character to account for the
likeness in features Dr. ID. is much taller
and more erect, having far more military
bearing than Louis In. moral cha acter there
is difference that all who know DIR. Dixon
will at once recognize. Craft forms no part
of his nature; you might as well attempt to
harness the lightning or the wind as to prevent
him from abruptly expressing his opinion
lie is utterly devoid of moral fear, and a most
a,1nselfsr man. We will venture to assert
that when you have once seen hi'n, you will
acknowledge that you have found the most
serious yet playful specimen of his protean
profession.

The Virginia Election.

The Richmond Enquirer, in commenting /. on
the fact that some of the Know Nothing papers
attribute the election of Wise to the !" foreign
vote, although they are not ignorant of the cir
curpstance that his majority largely exceeds the
entire foreign vote of the State, says 80 1t is
known that considerable proportion of the for
eignn vote was cast against the Democratic cam
didates. A correspondent of the baltimore Sa's
says an examination of the polls in Alexandria
has. developed the surprising fact that large
number of foreign-born citizens supported the
Kww- Nothing ticket There is another fact
winch settles this dispute beyond controversy.
In the cities, aud in the counties through which
works Of internal improvement are progressing
in Richmond, in Petersburg, in Norfolk, in Alex
andria, in Wheeling, in Fredericksburg, in Angus
t,., and in Issudouf-in. short, just where the
:. foreign vote is strongest, just there did the
Democracy sustain the greatest loss. On the
other hand, in the remote Southwest and on the
South side, where nobody ever sees Catholic or
foreigner. the Democracy made the largest gain.
These are facts which the Know Nothing papers
can no more dispute, than they can make them
conform to their fantastic theory, that the cleo
ton Of wiseNas the work Of Catlty.!Ss aid for
eigners.D

The % s. senator Question.

The question as to how or by whom Pennsyl-
vauia shall be represented in the Senate of the
United States, is one which must be met by the
next Legislature, inasmuch as the last one failed
to elect The people should bear this in mind in
making their nominations for the Assembly du-
ring the present summer and ensuing fall, if they
desire to see the Old Keystone occupy the COM
manding position m that body which her emi-
nence in the Confederacy of States justly entities
her to. If we wish to be respected in that exal-
ted body of legislators, and have honorable
name and place in the councils of the Ma ton,
we must select from the many able men we have
amongst us, that one who by his talents and vir-
tues will shed most lustre upon the station, and
thus secure for himself and his State the esteem
and confidence of others. Above all, we must
select am honest man-honest in politics as well
as in every thing else-if we wish to keep up
the credit of our honest old Commonwealth
No mousing, corrupt politician, such as some of
those who are aspiring to seat in that body,
should for one moment be thought of.-No petty
bank cashier, whose highest exhibition of talents
has been to corrupt the morals and purchase the
votes of venal legislators-no patent medicine
vender, who has grown immensely rich by plum
dering the pockets of his infatuated dupes to pay
for his filthy nostrums should be representative
of the great State Of Pennsylvania.
Will our Democratic friends throughout the
State see to this matter in time. The season for
making nominations for the Legislature is rapidly
approaching we have doubt that trick
cry and strataSem, deception and rascality are al
ready at work to accomplish their nefarious pur-
pose These things not done openly, in the
light Of day; but stealthiy and Fundamentally
for this is the onlypossible way by which dshon-
est men can hope to obtain power By means of
their unprinepled creatures in the different coun-
ties-especially the Democratic ceunties-they
succeed sometimes in packing Conventions, and
get their miserable tools nominated, and thus
force the people to vote for them because they
are the nominees of the party, no matter how un-
worthy or undeserving they of their sufira-
ges.
There is but one proper way to prevent such
state of thngs-and that is for the people to at
tend the delegate elections, and select such men,
and none other. known to be horest, and
who will faithfully reflect their will when they
meet in the County or nominating Conventions
We hope our brethren of the press, throughout
the State, viii lose time in directing the atten-
tion of the people to this important subject
