The ChambersbRrg Wing.

% During the late campaign, this paper
took the most strong and unequivocal ground d.
gainst know-aothingi even denouncng them
more harshly than most of the Democratic press.
In view of this fact, we felt pleasure IN accord
ing TO Col M'CLURE, (the editor,) great degree
occasion 10 applaud his course as manly, inde-
pendent, and honest. But we find, oc1h regret,
that we entirely misconstrued the real character
OF the man. An article in his paper of Oct.
81, shows the cloven foot too plainly to be mis-
understood even by the sway fariag man,
He now deprecates the idea ofthe old line Wing
press lampooniag the know-nothings, Of which
he has been chief, and calls for a brotberig u
nioa between them and all the other elements
that stand opposed TO the Democracy! The
Colonel himself goes for the Coiored FoMs.
and proclaims his intention 10 unlurl the incen-
diary Flag of ABOLITIONIsN, which is the
t,ein-brother TO Know-Notbingism and equally
as dangerous to the true interests of the coun-
try. Whenever our opponents unfuFI this
BLACK FLAG, promulgating doctrine in
tended, eventually, TO place the NEGRO upon
full equality with the white mana doctrine
calculated to desoate the entire South, and
crimson its soil with the blood of as chvalrous
set Of people as ever inhabited the earth-we
say, whenever the molly crew Of Kno'e-yNoth-
ings and Republicans unite upon this infamous
platform, The yeomanry of Pennsylvania are
ready to meet and overwhelm them by such
majority as was never before given in the gIor-
Gus old keystone State. We say, then, unfurl
your Banner, and the Democracy will charge
upon you with force and determination such
as you have never before felt, He who al
teinpts TO unite the two races can be- considered
in no other light than traitor to his country
and the Constitution under which we live, and
aboltloHism, tallas ''Republicanism,' points
Enthusiastically TO this state of affairs, let its ad-
vocates say what they may
But to come back to our friend Col. Mcclure. /
''nuIlifier" ntbe fullest acceptaton Of the /
term-we are truly sorry to have TO say, from
the tenor OF the article just alluded TO, that his
opposition TO know noihngism seems TO have
been based entirely upon selfish motive, the /
rneanest and most reprehensbe that can GOV
ern the character of man A paper called the /
transcript" devoted to the especial and exclu- .
slve cause OF the midnight coaspirators against
both tar and 8aor0ls, was started in Chambers
burg. This Journal bid fair TO divide the pa
tronage OF the County with the Whg-and, in
order 10 break ii do'cn, COL Mcclure very pa
triOtically used bis best efforts to break down
the Know Nothing Party, in which we are free
TO admit, he done good service, although his mo-
hUe turns out TO have been a very bad one
The Colonel holds an office under the State
Executive worth ga thousand" year, and be
now conceiyes it necessary 10 unde ccery thing
10 re-elect Gov Pollock, and thus secure his
own bacon, but we can assure him IN advance,
that the fate OF the enemies of Democracy, is
written IN characters not 10 be misunderstood
and the next Governor will be Democrat Just as
certainly as the day Of election arrives, SO that
our neighbor can prepare to walk spanish {
Col. Mcclure intends, perhaps, to find some
way to ''nullify" the voice of the people, as
he has attempted TO do that Of the Supreme
CouFt, but he will find The one about as effective
IS tbe other.
