More Confusion.

The State Council Of Know No,h ,hngsin which
all the lodges of the State are to be represented
was to meet at Reading, Berks county, yes
terday, to determine whether Ex-Governor
Johnston and those Of his colleagues who seeded
with him from the Know-Nothing convention at
Philadelphia, on the slavery question, shall be
sustained or not or whether the s. platform" adop-
ted at Philadelphia shall be endorsed by the
Know Nothings of Pennsylvania or not. Should
the Philadelphia platform be endorsed, we may
look out for more boiling. and splitting up of the
order, as the abolition wing with the Ex-Governor
at its head positively say that they win not abide
by and maintain the existing laws upon the sub
ject of starey final and coaclusiUe settlement
of that subject in spirit and in substance" Fur
ther agitation upon the slavery question must be
had, the North must be arrayed against the South,
the peace of the Union be dstur bed, OF this band
of fanatics and traitors could not hope to succeed
We shall patiently wait to hear the result of the
proceedings at Reading, and in the mean time
would say to our friends that the day for the re-
demption of the old keystone is not far distant.
There is yet good time coming, and to ensure it
will be an easy task, if the good and patriotic
only unite in the efforts to effectually crush out
the spirit of intolerance and fanaticism which
has spread over some portion of our hitherto hap
py country.

and was modified by substitute. This bigotry
was kept up until the landing of the French fleet

good understanding was cultivated between our

They also saw the Catholic Kingdom Of Poland
represented by Thaddeus Kosciusco. They saw
too that they were fighting against the most or

Every one should feel proud of belonging to that

In speaking Of the enemies of the democratic

with them, and if necessary kill for them the

The Presbytery of Blairsville met in the Pres
bytenan church in this place, on Tuesday the
10th ult., at O'Clock p. NJ, and was opened
with prayer by the Rev. d. Harrison, Moderator.
Owing to the continued rains of Monday and
Tuesday, there were but forty members pres
ent, being about half the usual number in atten-
dance During the sessions discourse was deliv-
cred by the Rev. Alex. Donaldson .sOn the i'm
portance of faithful preaching of the Gospel"
and one by Rev. Carothers :. On Holy living"
A religious conference was also held on these
subjects in which Revds. Forbes, Woodend, Has
tings, Hill, Stevenson. Torrance, McElwain, and
Morton participated.
Mr. Alexander Marshall Theological stu
dent under the Of the Presbytery passed
his examinations, and preached his trial sermon,
which were sustained, and was licensed to preach
the Gospel.
Rev. Leason, and Hon. I'll. Kinkead delegates
to the General Assembly which recently, met at
Nashville, Tennessee, were called upon to report.
swhereupon they gave a short abstract of the pro-
ceedings, and expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the christian hospitality, and kind
ness shown them by the citizens of Nashville
whilst sojouring among them. Adjourn ed at 6
O'Clock P. NJ. on Wednesday evening the Goth

| The different sessions were largely attended by
our citizens who expressed themselves highly
pleased with the christian kindness, and gooc

the Moderator Rev. D. HARRISON, who proved
himself throughout prompt. energetic, and dig

christian gentleman.
Efforts have been made for some years past
and it was with much difficulty that the Presby

more distant for a majority of the members thai

and satisfaction evinced by many of the member
that a proposition to adjourn to meet in Ebens

American Convention.

The National Council of Know -Nothings which
had been in session for several days in Philadel-
phia finally split upon the slavery question, and
delegates representing twelve states seeded an
account of which secession we published last
harmonic upon this subject, and that an end is
at once put to all prospect of organizing upon a
common platform as National party for the
Presidential Election in 1856. The Pro-Slavery
men of the South could not unite with the aboli-
tionists of the North. nor would the latter meet
the former upon any ground of compromise. but
evnced a fixed determination &c oppose the carry
ing out the plain acquisitions of the constitution
and laws of the country at present in existence.
In this condition of affairs the convention adopted
platform which has already been repudiated by
a convention just held at Cleaveland Ohio, and
will be opposed by the order in the New England,
and Western States. Upon the adjournment OF
the convention, a mass meeting was attempted to
be held in Independence Square, where a large
crowd was certainly collected, but it was as sud
denly dispersed by deluge of rain, as if the very
elements were in opposition to the success of this
new order.
| AS part Of the history of the times we shall
endeavor to publish the :. PLATFORM adopted by
estoes of those who seeded, and protested against
! the proceedings. Our readers too viii be better
able to comprehend the full length and breadth oi
| the doctrines of those who desire only to rule
America and they will also see more clearly the
rock upon which this mushroom party has sud
denly split.

Fourth ofJulv.

This day heing the anniversary Of our National
Independence, it viii be celebrated at several
places throughout the county. Its annual return
never fails to excite patriotic emotions IN the
breast Of every true American, and at the present
time arc glad to see so general disposition to
celebrate it, when fanatics are endeavoring TO set
at naught the principles contained in the Declar-
alton Of Independence, and to disregard the Con-
stitution and laws of the country
The several Sunday Schools Of this place have
united to celebrate together which from the ar
rangements being made will no doubt crafty both
old and young who may participate in it. Sever
al private parties will also leave town to celebrate
the day in their own way, to whom we wish much
pleasure. Those who are fond of good eating and
g lets of fun" We would direct to Col P. Shels's

been made we understand to commemorate the
day as it should be. In this general manifesto
tion of joy at the continued growth and prosperity
of our country Independent nation, we hope
it will not be without its effect to stimulate all to
renew their obligations to perpetuate the liberties
we enjoy, and with fixed determination resolve
to sustain those institutions and laws which have
made us a great and prosperous people.

Singular Marriage of q Prfest.

The Chicago Tribune, contains the report Of q
recent case that occurred in the courts of that city,
A Catholic priest had married a German girl with
whom he lived. He was married by another
priest by the name of KRAMER. The marriage
was kept quiet for long time. After season
the wife tired of her new state and left her hus-
band. The priest being afterwards dcposed.
brought an action to recover the person OF bis
wife. The girl stated in court. that she did nos
consider the marriage legal binding, because
her husband was a priest; that She had left her
husband 0: her own accord; and that she wished
now to go with her parents and stay with them.
and not so with her husband that the reason she
wished TO leave her husband was that she had
been educated in the belief that she could never
go to heaven if she lived in marriage with priest
but that no threats whatever had been made to
her by her parents, by the priests, OF by the
Bishop. -
Tie Court held that the marriage, by the laws
of Illinois, perfectly legal and valid, but that
the husband not to nee any force in compel
ling her TO 90 with him. The girl declined going
with her husband. and returned To her father.

Chest Springs Parade.

TIE annual Parade of the Cambria County vol
tnteers came off at the village of Chest Springs,
on Tuesday the 10th ult Although the weather
was exceedingly disagreable, yet the turn out was
very creditable to the companies who took part in
the display. The following named companies app
peared the Cambria Guards, commanded by Lit.
Blair, the Clearfeld Rangers, Capt. Mills, the
Washington Rifles. commanded by Lit. Sharp.
In the afternoon, after performing various man.
unvres under the direction efLt. Col. McDermitt,
the Battalion was inspected by the Brigade Iu-
spector, and reviewed by the Brigader General,
after which they were dismissed. Many returned
to their homes in the evening, but by far the grea-
ter number remained until morning, and enjoyed
the hospitality of the kind hearted citizens of Chest
Springs and vicinity; from reliable accounts we
judge that they must have had high old time ::
the jag La,c went into full operation under its
benifcent workings, smiles were the order of the
day; original packages were abundant, and went
off freely from first hands; everybody was social
and gay, and the calm of the evening was enliv-
ened by tho sweet strains of music and the joyous
hurrahs of those engaged in following the wind
iDgs of the never-to- be- forgotten Rattlesnake
Dance. The next morning, upon leaving, three
cheers were given for the hospitable citizens of
Chest Springs, and the line of march was taken
up through the romantic vilageof Lorctto, where
a halt ofhalf an hour was called, which was spent
in agreeable intercourse with the spirited citizens
there.
1t is hoped that the spirit and zeal manifested
upon this occasion. will stimulate the young men
of Cambria county, to the formation of new COM
panies.
