The Know, Nothings and their Sainted Msr.
tyr, bill Poole


| From the d. Y. Freeman's Journal
Tie band o. conspirators against America,
prntiplez, who plot in the dark, have certainly
outvifted themselves by trying to push on this
community 20 scenes of riot on the head Of the
recent cowardIy murder of their champion, " BIZ
Poole,v by some of his own class and former asso-
ciates and friends. Whether be made use on his
death-bed of the language attributed 10 him about
being killed 'sby set of Irish, /" is now very
doubtful. If he did, ii is now known that the
expressiopska as untrue as welIas incspdiafy. The
Coroner s jury have brought in their verdict. Tho
principals in the murder are declared 20 be Lewis
Baker, James Turner, and Patrick, or Psudeen
Mclaughlin OF these, Baker is of Welsh paren-
tage, but is now said 10 have been born IN New
York. Turner is also an American !; and Nc
Laughlin, notwithstanding his Irish name, turns
out to have ibeenfborn at Cofoes in, the State Of
New York. OF the five who have been declared
accessories before the fact Van Peit and Linn the
only ones yet interrogated, prove also to have
been New Workers by birth, and OF heotherth three,
Morrissey is the only one that seems TO have been
Irish by birth Perhaps it may turn out at least
that he, tools American-born, as he is certainly
New York bred. Whether or not,sitis now clear
ly understood that no class Of Irishmen are at all
im plicated in the atrocities Of Stanwix Hall.
The g sober second thoughf1 Of Americans has
done its work even among those that were molnen-
tariIy excited Sby the first incendiary reports of
the midnight Know-No Nothingisln was already on
the wane, and their hasty canonisatior as a Know
Nothing saint, Of ruffian who came to his un-
timely end in brawl with his own associates and
former friends, comes not inopportuDely, toreyolt
and disgust even those who had wished to show
sympathy Tor the organized conspiracy, SO long
as it preserved any faint semblance of beng other
than it has proved itself.
Baker, at whose hand Poole met his death, is
stiIl at large The Mayor and the Chief of Police
have used every effort for his detection and arrest;
They have proceeded as men. in earnest would do,
quietly and without publishing the steps they
were taking. 1t is the impression among those
best qualified Judge, that their efforts have been
defeated mainly by the extraordinary course of
Mr.. Stuart, the City Jmlge, who deserted the
bench TO assume the role Of a policeman, aud has
seemed to perform the latter function principally
by advertising his movements day by day through
the daily papers. Had Judge Stuart been bound
to Baker by the closest ties Of secret association be
could not have better aided that criminal to
cape.

Conemaugh County.

i The bill fol. the dismernbermeut of Cambria,
and. the erection Of Conemaugh with Johnstcwn
asits county scat, has at length passed the Louise
and is nowi the hands Of the Senate. During
its progress it was warmly opposed by Dir. Nc
Conneltof Indiana, who succeeded when it was
before the House on the 18th fast, in. getting
whsat6cid township, Indiana county, stricken
from the bill by vote Of Yeas, ss, Nays, 81
This vote was reconsdered when the bill was
again before the House on Wednesday the 2lst
inst, and Mr.. McConnel's motion to strike out
Wheatfeld township, was lost by Yeas 20, Nays
Al. The bill finally passed the House by Yeas
As, Nays %. To this bin the citizens of Cambria
are decidedly opposed, as has been evinced by
their numerous petitions, and rcmonstrances for
warded to the Legislature, and the numerous meet
ings which have been held to express their disap-
probation of the project. Both Of the members
from this district voted for it, whilst the members
from Indiana, Westmoreland, and Somerset voted
against it. as parts of those counties are embraced
within the bounds of the proposed new county.
The bill was urged through the House by Mr.
King, Of Johnstown, In defiance of the pledges
made by him to his party friends previous to the
election, and in consequence of which he secured
the Whig vote in the Northern part Of the county.
That such pledges were given, has been openly
published by the resolutions adopted at several of
the township meetings, and which as yet Mr.
King has not publicly denied. That Judge
Daugherty should have pursued the course he did
upon this question has taken all by surprise, and
called down upon him much censure from those
who so warmly supported him at the polls 1t

STARTING or THE EXPEDITION. We are at

correspondent that the United States Expedi-
ton against the Southern Camanches has
started from Fort Chadbourn. Ii is headed
by the brave and worthy Captain Patrick Cali

second dragons and three companies of ran
gers. The men are well equipped and in
excellent condition to meet the Indians. A
trainaccompanied the expedition numbering
sixty three government wagons, laden with
supplies. When last seen beyond Phantom
Hill, the expedition was making fine progress
and had as yet experienced no difficulties.
Our correspondent says that the Camanches
viii meet with rough reception if they en-
