W- 1t is rumored that Know-N Nothing Council
for the State has been in session in this City during
the present week-the object being TO influence the
Congressional elections in August next. One thing
is certain, many strangers from various portions of
the State have been here and among them we have
recognized number of ld-fashioncd and inveterate
Wings But few Democrats, we believe, have been
seduced into this secret organization.
1t is rumored, we repeat, that midnight caucuses
or consultations have leen held, having in view po-
litical power and control. why all this darkness
Is there not something wrong about it? What says
the Raleigh STAR the organ of this new and myste-
rious order? ayf...r
One thing in this connection deserves considera-
ton, and that is that hear no surprise expressed
when Wings are supposed to have Joined this Know
Nothing organization; but there is always more or
less boasting when Democrat is supposed to have
lined. The Fedcrasts take to it naturally y-or
.ather it is Federalism in new shape; and every
Democrat who is induced to join them is regarded
as so much gained to the cause of Whiggery. Fed
eralism or Whiggery assumes as many shapes to de-
ceiye the people, as Satan did his way from hell
to deceive and ruin our first parents. Beware OF
these midnight councils the object of which is not
benevolence and charity to man. but political Offices
aud power! 'Men choose darkness resher than
lirht. because their deeds are evil. Il 81 as

ENCOURAGING. A friend at Colerain, Bertie, sends
US 81 and the name of a new subscriber, and adds
"When came to this village there was only one
copy of the Standard taken here; now there are
some ten copies"
All true. Colerain has done well, and many 9TH
er places have done likewise We have added more
than two hundred permanent subscribers TO our list
within the last two months. to say nothing of some
three hundred session subscribers. We yet have
room for more.
We return our thanks to our many friends who,
like the one above, have aided us in extending cur

FROM KANSAS TERRITORY.

A friend has handed us letter. from which we
make the following extracts in relation to Kansas
Territory. The fact that Kansas is most likely to
that quarter with interest and Importance to South
ern men. The letter is from native of North Car
olina-a gentleman of intelligence and character
whose statements may be relied upon correct:
81 have been in Kansas viewing the country 1t
is indeed as fine a portion of Gods creation
have yet scen Along the streams, the rich alluvia
bottoms are covered with forests of tall timber con-
sistng mostly Of cotton wood, elm and locust and
walnut. After leaving the river bottoms rocky
bluffs, covered with sort Of scrubby growth Of
hickory and oaks, rise to from sixty to one hundred
feet and then the rich rolling prairie spreads out as
far the eye reach, affordng the best farming
land ever saw. These praries will produce about
fifteen barrels OF to the acre. In fact every
kind of grain is produced in abundance This climate
| think unsurpassed by even the pure mountain
| air of old Surry The water is clear as chrystal,
rppling over rocky beds, and gushing out from un-
failing springs.
When left home thought there never would be
any chance of introducing slavery into Kansas but
since have seen the country am fully convinced
slave labor can be just rs protitably employed in
raising hemp the plains of Kansas it is in cot
ton or sugar planting further South. l have been
very much strengthened in the hope that Kansas
will be slave State by the recent election Of Dele
| gate to Congress. Gen. Whitfied's majority was
over 1900. Hurrah for Kansas! l attended the
election at Harding precinct and must say new
er an election pass off more quietly The truth
is never saw more intelligent looking set Of
! ters any where l. in company with seven other
"boys" from Mount Airy, had the pleasure Of add
ing my mite to swell the majority of Whitfield
| over which have not vet finished my rejoicing"

J KNoW.NoTHNGIsM IS ABoL1r1oN1sM.

KN0W-NOTHINGISM is ABOLITIONISM.
The proofs are thickening that Know Nothingism,
which had is origin in the free States, is not only
old-fashioned John Adams federalism, but Abolition
ism. We have noticed in another place the freesoil
message of the new Governor of Massachusetts,, Mr..
Gardner; and we have to add to this the fact,
that the Know Nothings of the Legislature of that
State have just nominated for United States Senator
by majority of fifty -four, Henry Wilson, notori-
Gus and unadulterated Aboli.ionst. These men,
Gardner and Wilson, are opposed to the Nebraska
act to the fugitive slave law, to the admission Of
slavcholding States and are as vile and as depraved
Aboltionists lived.
We also present synopsis of the message Of the
new Know Nothing Governor of Pennsylvania Gov.
Pollock is Whig, and owes his election to the
Know-Nothings. He is in favor of tariff for pro-
tection in favor of internal improvements by the
federal government, and of the homestead measure,
SO much denounced by the Wings of North Carolina;
and he is likewise an Abolitionst of the same stamp
with Gardner and Wilson,
"Goy. PoILocK's MESSAGE.
HARRIsBURG, Jan. 16.-Gov Pollock was inau-
gurated to-day.
He says in his message that civil and religious
liberty, freedom of speech and press, and freedom
of worship, are the birthright of Americans, which
no pontifcial edict can destroy.
He objected to chartering new banks, but will
re-charter the old ones when sound and needed by
the community.
Is in favor Of the sale of the public works.
Says it is duty of legislature to correct tho-cvils
of intemperance.
On the pardoning power he says that notice
should be published when conviction takes place, of
intended applications for executive clemency.
The repeat Of the Missouri compromise is consid-
cred oiotatiop Of the nations filth and honor, and
| has receiued q stern rebuke.
Advocates protection Of American industry and
improvement of rivers and harbors also judicious
| homestead bill
Also reformation of the naturalization laws and
prevention of the emigration of foreign paupers and
convicts."
What do Southern Know-Nothings think of the
company in which they find themselves?

proved successful. The Pills invariably open
those distractions TO which females are liable

whereby health is restored, and the pale and
denlhly countenance changed tua healthy one.
No female can enjoy good health unless She
is regular, and whenever nm obstruction takes
place whether frpm exposure, cold, or any
other cause, the general health begins imme-
diately to decline. aud the want of such a
remedy has been the cause of so many con-
sumptions among young females. Headache,
pain in the side, palpitaiion Of the heart,
l%oathiDg of food, and disturbed sleep almost
always arise fIom an interruption Of nature !;
and whenever that Is the case, the Pills will
invariably remedy all these evils.
