Auti-Know-Nothing Meeting.

We find that the suggestion contained in our
last issue in relation to the above meeting. meets
with general appreciation. 1t is to be held in re-
ference to the one subject alone; men of both po-
lticai parties will unite in one overwhelming ex-
preston of opinion against Know Nothingism.-
The meeting will be called for that purpose and
for no other. The anti-Krow- Nothing issue is
one which is above all mere party politics. 1t
involves the question of civil and religious liberty,
and possibly of existence itself. 1tmay become a
question of life death to U.S. 1t is so in other
parts Of our country; we have no warrant that it
may not take that turn here
Wesay to the citizens, turn out. Let there be
a show of hands. Let us see who is for US. and
who is against us.

The Know-Nothing Party, and the next
Presidency.

In observing this famous party from the Bay Of
Funday to the Bay of San Francisco, we find it
assumes various shapes, and has as many sides to
it rolling pin. 1t is pro-slavery and anti
slavery, pro-foreigner and ant-foregner, pro-tar
lift and anttariff, pro-catholic and anti-catholc,
pro-office hunting and anti-office hunting, pro-
and Nebraska legislation. Obedience to the laws
and the constitution of the country is put forth in
their platform, and in their acts total disregard
of all laws human and divine. In South Carroll
ma, Tennessee, and Kentucky, the design of the
order is to defend and perpetuate slavery. and in
their national council they agreed to let slavery
alone as it is. In the Eastern States and part of
Pennsylvania, the all absorbing tenet of the order
is Abolitionism. Can this party then agree
this branch of their creed, and nominate Presi-
dent2 In California the whole order is in favor of
the immigration and citizenship of foreigners. and
in Massachusetts, and several other States, large
portion of the order is in favor of admitting prot
estant foreigners to participation in their rites
and ceremonies. In most of the other States of
the Union, all foreigners are excluded from this
party, and in Louisville they are excluded from
the polls by FIRE, and bullet, and halter. Can
this party then agree this branch of their creed,
and nominate President2 In Pennsylvania,
and in some other States of the Union, this party
seems to favor high protective tariff, whilst in
the South they are for "a free trade and sailors
rights" Can this party then agree on this branch
of their creed, and nominate President2 In
California and in Maryland, Catholics are not
prescribed, and in Louisiana many catholics be-
long to the order. and they have nominated and
are now running a catholic for Governor of that
State. In most of the other States no member of
the order can vote for catholic. No catholic can
become member, nor can he be initiated if he
have catholic wife, Can they agree on this
branch of their creed, and nominate President
La the Philadelphia platform they endorsed the
Kanzas and Nebraska bill, and the greater part
of the Northern States are for its repeal and the
restoration of the Missouri compromise Can they
agree ON this branch of their creed, and nominate
President In their national platform they ex-
hibit disgust for the wild hunt for Office, which
characterizes the age, yet the broken down rene
gales of all parties 60 into their order to hunt af
ter Office. Such is the discrepancy of this her
maphrodite party. as sworn to in their lodges in
the different localities Of the Union. They agree
in no one question Of national policy. The only
thing they do agree In is, their hatred to the De-
mncrstic party. They detest that party and they
can give no reason for it. We suppose it is to-

This is one Of the most crushing blows that Sam

evidence that the old Wings are determined to be
revenged on the men who betrayed and cheated

we will venture to ask one little question: we

no idea of forfeiting sefrespect, by the adop-
ticn Of Janus-faced policy-being one thing to
the North of the county and another to the South.

idea with the Know Nothing portion Of our citi-

Under such circumstances we at once resolved
to comply in good faith with the acts of the Con-
vention. We have placed oursef upon the plat
form it adoptsd. and upon that platform we in
tend to stand.

Democracy, VS.. Know-Nothingism.

The importance of securing an immediate and
thorough organization of the Democratic party in
this County, cannot be easily overrated. Itmust
not be said that Know Nothingism, unaided and
alone, can triumph on the soil of little Cambria.
The Know-Nothings are now busly at work, not
only here, but everywhere throughout the State,
in their subterranean retreats, at the hour when
scoundres love to congregate, preparing and drill
ling their forces for the approaching campaign.
They are aware that they are inferior to the DEM
ocracy in point of numbers, but they hope through
dissensions in our ranks, to secure sufficient
number of Democratic votes to enable them to
ing this hope, the result on the second Tuesday
of next October must determine. We do not
presume to speak for others, but for ourselves,
we are fully, firmly determined to goat once
into the contest, with the settled and honest in
tention, to contribute our utmost towards crush
ing Know Nothingism, and to labor zeale,Isly to
secure the election of every man on the Demo-
cratic ticket, from Canal Commissioners to Auditor.
We confidently anticipate, that the dark lantern
gentry who steal away at the hour of midnight
into alleys, byways and outhouses, where they
feef tnat tney secure from Lne gaze oi HontSt
men, and there devise ways and means to deprive
their neighbors Of their inalenaLle rights, will
find that they are mistaken, in supposing that
the Mountain Democracy viii not give united
and enthusiastic support to their ticket. Our
candidates were all fairly and honestly nominated
they are all sincere Democrats; they are all hon
est men, and well qualified for dscharging the
duties Of the several offices for which they have
been nominated, and surely no sincere Democrat
or friend Of republican institutions viii allow HIM
self to be induced through personal OF private
feelings, to refuse any or all Of them his support
and thereby assist 10 securing the triumph Of a
band of midnight conspirators.
Never did we feel so deep an interest in the
result of a political contest, the present. In
laboring to secure the triumph of the Democratic
ticket we feel that at the same time we are la
boring in defence of the rights Of man, and con-
tributing our utmost TO secure the perpetuity al
our free institutions; and although we know our
course will not meet with the appreciation of
demagogues and bigots, now that issue is found
between Democracy and KNOW Ao<hfngisns. be-
tween the enemies and friends Of religious intoler

q. n. Smith and the New County

The article which we copy below from the
Johnstown Echo" shows the position of our
candidate for Assembly, in relation to a vexed
question, in light so clear and proper, and con-
tans SO much plain truth that we publish it, feel
ing assured that it will prove more acceptable to
our readers than any thing that we could say up
ON the subject.
Our Position-The Issue.
For the last three weeks we have been unable
to attend to our editorial duties. We were pros
trated for fifteen days with severe illness, from
the effects of which are still suffering, but
hope soon to be oursef again.
During our confinement, nomination and
our position the all absorbing topic of conver-
sation, in which every body appeared to indulge
and many, we regret to say, in such manner as to
not be in accordance with strict propriety.
Weeks previous to the assembling of the late
County Convention, it being at that time under
stood that we would be the choice of the Democ-
racy of the Southern portion of the county for the
nomination for Assembly, the leaders Of the 's dark
lantern'' gang, expressed their decided hostility
TO our nomination, declaring that they would OPP
pose us at the sacrifice of every individual and lo
cal interest that if we were nominated defeat
was to them paramount to every other question.
Many of our citizens were heard to say that they
did not . care d-d for The nesc county thai

Immediately upon the arrival Of the tidings Of
our nomination, before any knowledge was bad OF

the same ruling spirits of the Secret Lodges
reiterated with the greatest vehemence, their pre-
vious declarations, and called upon the citizens to
forget all private piques and local interests, to
unite in an unialtering opposition TO the Demo
cratic nominations.
A. this time we were ignorant Of what the Con-
yention had done, further than the nominations
made. When we agreed that our name should be
submitted to the Convention, honorable
man. we resolved 70 abide its instructions de-

The Time is Near.

two months till the election! Are you preparing
for the contest? If not, go to work at once. The
enemy is now busily and secretly at work, form
ing plans for the defeat of the great American
party. Let our friends complete the most perfect
organization. Let the Township Council meet
ings be regularly held and well attended Initi-

the order. Reject no rotcr! Be not afraid of ex-
posure, it will not hurt party. If there
are some who do not wish to go to the Council,
put them through" at their own homes, or at
your own house, or anywhere else. The time has
come that all enmties or prejudices should be
thrown aside and all taken into our party! When
ever wishes to join, initiate him if he wishes
it, on the instant. Friends. attend to this, and
all will be we'll. Go to work at once. for in sew

1t is not honesty, integrity, high-mindelncss,
that they wish to be intiated-it is voters. 1t is
not principle they require-t is voters. It is not
the welfare of the country they wish to be atten-
ded to-they want voters, voters. 1t makes not
difference what their belief may be, nor from
what country they sprung, nor what their color
is, nor what their precedents are. So they have
votes, initiate them; "put them through'-take
all, all, SO they have votes. This taIlies we'll with

pose that the whole ow-Nothing party is COM
posed of scoundrels we believe many good men
have became initiated under tie impression that
the specious promises they held out of reform,
were sincere; many who believed that was the
only method Of doing away with the corruptions
which were supposed to exist in the old parties /;
many who allowed their better Judgement TO be
clouded by the false pratings of the dctestably
foul demagogues who control that party; wholook
upon the honest masses the tools with which
they are to, work their way to distinction who
despise at the same time the honest simplicity
which lends itself to their base purposes. To such
honest men who have been thus beguled we
would say read the above, ponder on it; see how
it agrees with every act Of the men whom you
have assisted to put in power compare it with
the actions of the last Legislature, ard weigh well

privileges, by electing men who have proved recre-
ant to every honest principle and noble impulse OF
the human heart.

Mai. Isaac Teeter.

Below will be found the pledge of our candi-
date for Coroner. Mr.. Teeter's nomination was a
deserved compliment to good and worthy Dem
ocrat, and was also proof of the harmony and
good feeling which prevailed in the Convention,
for although Maj. Teeter made a strong fight for,
and was very active in behalf of what he called
the rights of one portion of the county, yet so
much credit was given to him for honesty and
sincerity of purpose, that his nomination was
made by acciamation.
Candidates being considered public property, it
is taken for granted that every body has right
to pitch in and abuse and vilify to their hearts
content. We see that Maj Toter will not escape
his share. The K Ms have been trying it on,
and after much toll and tribulation, they have
been able to find nothing against him, further
than the supposition that some IL years ago, he
voted an anti Masonic ticket. That was dis
covery. We think that our candidate will sur
vive it. Suppose that fact is so; it just proves
that II years ago Maj. Teeter opposed secret po-
litical organizations, and we know that he stands
upon the same platform to-day. They will have
to give him credit for more consistency than can
be claimed by those old anti -Masons who after
shouting Justify for years against all secret organ
izations, have finished themselves by becoming
members of the most unholy secret Organization
that ever existed.
The slang and cowardly insinuations Of X. n.
organs, are calculated to make friends to Major
Teeter.
Having been nominated by tie Democratic
County Convention as candidate for Coroner, in
compliance with resolution adopted by said
Convention do hereby pledoe myself to the
County Committee. that have not been, am not
now, and do not intend to become a member of
any secret political organization, whether known
by the name of Know Nothings or that of any
other and that will not vote for, or support any
person who is known or even suspected, of being
member of such secret political organization.
Further, that have not been the advocate Of the
election Of Simon Cameron to the United States
Senate, since the publication of the kirkpatrick
letter." and give my adhesion to the resolutions
adopted by the Convention.
