~" The Know Nothinh Safe Convention
VIII Gu met a Cleveland last week showed
very plainly that its leaders in Ohio knew
very we'll that their party was driven to til,
wall. They abandoned all of their old
principles, anil adopted a series OF anything
and every thing for the sake Of catching q
vote set Of resolutions. Know Nothingism
is on its last logs in Ohio. Genuine Democ-
tscy is in the ~ascencancy. Let every hon
est man in the State shout amen and amen.

Death Of a valuable Citizen.

One of our most valuable citizens has de.
parted from amongst us. Mr.. JAMES MEANS
d ed al the residence of Mr.. Kelley, a
relative, in the city Of Philadelphia, at II
o'clock last night, from congestion of the
lungs, aged 62. years. His family received
Information of his illness on yesterday, and
his wife and one of his sons instantly set out
for the purpose Of ministering to his comfort
and wants; they will only arrive in lime to
take charge OF his earthly remains.
Mr. Means was one of our most valuable
citizens, and his loss will be deeply felt by
the community. He commenced here in
early life, poor, reared and educated a
large family, and worked his way to afia
ense with an energy almost wonderful
He was a business man in every sense, and
his word was ever as good as his bond
For the past few years he gave his best ex
ertions to secure the construction of our
Railroad. Few know the extent OF his sac
riGces and exertions in that regard, but
those few most deeply feel his loss. Suf-
fee it that he gave his best exertions as
President Of the Road, for a mere nominal
compensation, and stacked tho earnings Of
a hard and industrious life upon it's success.
He has gone down to the tomb as the OBJ.
jeet of his solicitude and labors was ripen-
49,.
ing into full %fruition; and his sudden de-
mise has cast a dark and troublous shadow
over the community.-Steu. Union, 9th.

a Know Nothing Explanation o
the Virginia Election.

Experience is the teacher of WISDOM
1.-The proof of the pudding is in the eating
thereof" The paper recently established
at Washington, modestly assuming to be
the national organ of the Know Nothings,
thus accounts for The overwhelming defeat
of Sam" in Virginia.
/. All the Irish on the public works vot.
ed for Henry A Wise.
And sure they couldn't be expected to
vote for SAM" who has sworn a solemn
oath to turn every poor devil of a born for.
eigner, and Catholic. native or foreign born,
out of every sort of public situation, and tc
keep him out till doomsday.
2. A large number of democrats Joined
the Order for the purpose of deception.
Shouldn't wonder if they did; and thu
result only showed what stuff aid rubbish
these secret oaths of the lodges are, when
the recipient is disguised with the contract.
ed principles involved in them.
3. The disaffected old liners of the whis
party voted for Wise.
Very likely. A good many old wings ii
Virginia were doubtless indignant at tn
idea Of selling out the party and its princi
pies for a pig in a bag.
In addition we would add, the land o
jefferson has not forgotten the doctrine o
equality in all forms of religion, entertaine'
and promulgated by him.-Dem.

Anti-Slavarv Men. Read.

1t il well kuoWa that the Cincinnati
Times is the leading organ of Know Moth
ingism in the State of Ohio. Its editor,
James D. Taylor was the X. N. candidate
for Mayor, at the recent election in Cinciu.
nad, and is now, We are credibly informed,
secretly fishing for the X. N. nomination
lar Governor. in the event Of a grand smash
up at the 18Th of July convention. This
paper. therefore. (Ihe Times,) may be re-
garded as speaking by authority for the
oath bound order in the State of Ohio. Let
anti slavery men read what it says in regard
to the position of the know nothings on sla-
very.
awe have several times been asked the
question, by letter, whether the know moth
ing party in any manner took part in the
question Of slavery or anti slavery. To this
We have ever male the answer: That these
are questions hat do not now, end never
have, formed part or parcel of the issue in-
volved in the action of the know nothing
party. Thu object Is one as widely different
from that involved 10 the discussion Of
these questions as can well be conceived-
The X. N. party knows no north, nc south,
no east, no west, but the interest and vel.
fare Of the undivided whole. Its object is
of such a nature that, separate and inde-
pendent of all connection with sectional
predjudices, it simply asks a combination a.
gainst an enemy to be feared alike by all,
and by all condemned.
at cannot be difficult to understand how
an object of such importance as that aimed
at by tie X. N. party can rend itself apart
from every minor consideration, and on the
broad ground that Americans should rule
America" make no distinction as to the Pc
culiar opinions men may hold on subjects
entirely foreign to. or at least forming no
essential part of its organization.
at asks no mans opinion Of the future
government of Kansas and Nebraska; ques.
tons no mans right or title to entertain
such opinions on such subjects as may be
thu result Of his judgment"

E3-The know n~othings hold a National
Convention at Philadelphia on the 5th of
June. The New York Herald says The
convention twill lay down a platform which
will make the know nothing the great Ma
%tional party of the country"
EyrAnd they have adopted just such a
platform as the most ultra slavery propagan-
Gist could desire. ..,.
Eg~At the session of the General Synod
of the Associate Reformed Church, held aS
Pittsburgh, recently, the following resolu-
ton was passed in reference to slavery.
"~Slaveholding, that is the holding of in.
offending human beings in involuntary bon
dage, considering and treating them as
property, and subject to be bought and sold
is a violation ofthe law of God, contrary
both to the letter and the spirit Of Christi
anity. and therefore not to be tolerated in
this church.
They also passed a resolution denun-
ciatory Of secret societies, whether for
political or benevolent purposes. It is as
follows:- sgsgna
IAN associations whether formed for po-
%litical or b~enev VIOLENT purposes, which bind
their members by oath TO obey and Keep
secret laws and principles, the nature and
tendency Of whicA are not known to- them
when they take such oath, are Inconsistent
with the genius and spirit of christianity
and are to be avoided as ensnaring and dan
gorous. John iii, 10, 20, 81; Eph. vgli,

The Virginia Election.

The poor Know Nothings are trying their
bes: to account for their defeat in Virginia.
They are trying to turn il to account with
the snu-slavery folks, pretending to them
that the X. Ms were defeated because Of
their freesoilisml Why, the fact is, the Hin
doc organ in Washington city, and their
papers in Virginia, opposed Wise on the
ground that he favored the Administration,
which favored the ~abolitiouists, AMI would
not remove Governor Reeder, of Kansas, who
also was an abclitionist. This was the
song there before the election.
La addition to this, every Know Nothing
organ in the free states has for months past
been d%enouncing abolitionists. and of late
quite virulently. Why don't the X. Ms
try fair dealing and truth telling? They
have succeeded SO well by falsehooi and
deceit, that they seem inclined to st lex tc
the plan. 1t won't win, though.
The New York Herald thus accounts for
the defeat of the Hindoos in Virginia:

Being unsrlned they thought proper to
retreat. Several Of the citizens imme-
dlatcly armed themselves and started in
pursuit of the conyicts. They overlook
them near Corral Hollow, and fight en-
sued. Mr.. Crump was shot through the
shoulder by ons Of the escaped prisoners.
Col. Patterson shot one Of the conyicts,
broke his leg, and captured him. The
others fed, and hid themselves in the tules
near Slocum's Ferry. The citizens are
turning out there and are surrounding the
tules, SO that none of the convicts may
escape. The convicts are well armed,
having stolen rifles few days since from

No SHOW FOR JoHN CHINAMAN.-I The San
says, an incident occurred on Saturday last at
the blowing up OF the steamer Pearl, which il
lustrates the strong feeling existing in this
State against the Chinese. One of the Johns
named Ia Yah, who was standing oa the bow
OF the Pearl at the time Of the explosion, was
blown into the river, some thirty or fotty
feet, and when he rose to the surface, struggled
nightly to keep his head above the water
A fisherman who had rowcd his boat up to re-
licve the sufferers, saw tie ChiHaman in his
unfortunate position, and Immediately made 20
bis relief He caught the Chinaman by his
tail, and was about helping him in the boat
when some one on shore shouted to him to ''let
the Chinaman &C to HI and save q white
man" who had rose to the surface of the
water just behind him. The man in the boat
obcyed the Instructions almost mechanically
LET John go, and padded up to the white man,
just i'll time to save him from waterv grave
After The rescue, he rowed after John, who
had been carried about forty feet down the
stream in spite Of his exertions, and saved him.
The Chinaman was kept from sinking bv
the coats he had on Two of them were hea4i-
ly wadded with cotton, and made after the
manner they are usually worn. The water
rose beneath them and they acted Is a sort q
