Burglary and Immense Robbery

SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF GOODS
STOLEN
One of the heaviest robberies perpetra-
ted in this city for some time, occurred last
night. The extensive dry goods store of
the Camerons, located on the north side of
Fifth street, between Walnut and Vine,
and opposite the market-house, was enter
ed by burglars, sometime during the night,
who carried off silks, satins, and other
costly goods, to the amount, it is estimated,
of seven thousand dollars. The burglary
was well planned, and executed at extraor-
dinary risk, and from the circumstances,
is is evident that the rogues are familiar
with the premises.
Entrance was effected at the rear of the
store, in which there is one window and
door. At the doorway, an outer door was
secured by an iron bar, and the inner door
by heavy lock. The window was secur-
ed by heavy wooden shutter, fastened by
an iron bar on the outside, which was bolt
ed on the inside. The burglars pried open
the shutter with "jimmies," and in doing
so, forced off portion of the window frame.
They then cut out pane of glass, and
through the hole thus made one of their
number crept through into the building.
He must have been boy or very slim
man. The goods stolen were shelved in
the front of the store, and nothing was dis
turbed in any other part of the building.
They are new goods, but recently received.
The rogues seemed to select with care the
choicest and most costly patterns, and made
off with them through the back door which
was easily opened from the inside.
The most remarkable thing about the
burglary is, that two gentlemen, including
one of the proprietors, slept in the store
last night! They retired about II o'clock;
and occupied beds in a room in the second
story, directly over the spot where the sto-
len goods were shelved. Gentlemen con-
nected with neighboring store slept with
in a few feet of the window pryed open,
and yet none of them were in the least dis
turbed by the movements of the burglars.
1t is supposed that the store was entered
about 3 o'clock, during heavy shower of
rain, and at time when the noise in the
market wovld prevent their movements
from being heard.
The police have no clue whatever to the
burglars. The watchmeu of the beat say
they frequently passed the store duringthe
night, but observed nothing to excite their
suspicion. The robbery was not discover
ed until after daylight this morning, when
the back door and window were found open.

would forthwith call us to account for ou
'proscriptive doctrines What more have we
said, or written, than that the naturalizatiCn n
laws are imperfect and ought to be amend
ed-that foreigners have on some occasions
subjected themselves to just censures-that
the Roman Catholic religion is not based
upon the true Christian creed-that citi-
zenship is boon granted to foreigners by
the liberality of our institutions-that it
cannot be claimed upon the grounds of
natural right-that it is conferred by con-
ventional arrangement,-tha before they
are entitled to this privilege they are bound
to ''surrender their distinctive native ma
tionalities"-this we have held, and still
hold the Catholic portion of our community
to be incapable of doing, SO long as they
maintain fidelity to the church of which
they are members.
Has not the Washington Union said all
this by implication! 1t is our intention
to keep these points before our readers so
long as there are editors and politicians to
be found in the Democratic and Wing ranks
succumbing to Catholics and unAmericani-
zed foreigners, for the sake of patronage.
These questions are too vital in their ma
ture to be ignored by those who feel prop
er interest in the future welfare of our COM
mon country.

MINNEsoTA,-The Legislature Of this
Territory is decidedly anti-Nebraska.
There was the same want of Union in
The election of members as was manifest
in the vote for delegate 10 Congress. In
this stale of affairs, with decided oppos-
ition, it was reasonable to suppose that
the Nebraska party would carry the Leg.
islaure. But such has not been the case.
We find the following statement of the re-
lalive strength of parties in the Legisla-
ture, in the papers, and presume it is
correct: Council-Republican and anti
Nebraska Democrats, | l.; Nebraska, 5.
Observation-Disclosures and anti
Nebraska Democrats %; Nebraska, 10.
Thus, ii appears that more than two
thirds of each body are opposed 10 the
administration on this great leading meas
ure of its policy. That will do for Min
nesota.

Another Foreign Outrage.

The repeated outrages by foreigners up
on American meetings and American citi-
zens, and their desperate and bloody strug-
giles to gain political ascendency in this
country, are the very strongest arguments
that can be advanced in favor of"Americans
ruling America" But a week or two ago,
Americans were assaulted and driven from
the polls in Baltimore, by gang of armed
Irish Roman Catholics Last week pro-
cesson of Americans in New York was
attacked and dispersed, the American flag
trailed in the dirt, and hundreds of Ameri-
can lives endangered, and the assailants
were Irish Roman Catholics And we
have now another outrage to chronicle,
which shows the proscriptive and bloody
designs of these foreign rufians and mur-
derers. Recently during the passage of q
Democratic and Foreign procession in front
of the Baltimore Clipper office, no less than
five bullets were fired through the windows
driving the compostors from their cases
and nearly wounding one of them! And
why these bloody assaults upon American
born citizens! Simply because they con-
tend for the RIGHT of ruling "their own,
their native land" Scenes of this charac-
ter are daily enacted in our large Cities
American meetings are broken up, the
American Flag trampled in the dust by the
unhallowed feet of the Pope's foreign mill
ions. American citizens are fired at in
their own houses, and shot down in the
streets in cold blood ,-and yet the Patriot
and Union, and other Locofoco organs Of
the same stripe, would have us believe that
there is no danger from Foreign influence
These very locofoco editors know to the
contrary, they daily see and feel the per-
nicous influence of foreignism, and the
dangers that threaten our country and in
stitutlons,-but for political purposes, and
to retain the Catholic vote, they basely
pander to the passions and prejudices OIL
the foreign rabble, and encourage them in
their lawless violence and murderous as.
saults upon American citizens. The in,
creasing insolence and repeated outrages o
the Irish Catholics and Red Republican
Germans, show that there is danger to bt
apprehended from foreign influence, al
ready the Temple of Liberty has been sha
ken to its centre, by the foreign anarchist
who have laid unholy hands upon it. 1t is
therefore, not only the RIGHT, but the sacre'
DUTY of the "sons of the soil" to band to
gether for the dsbandment of the Foreigl
Battalions, and for the preservation of thei
liberties and institutions. In the languag
of the venerated Jackson, Americans Gas
for nothing but what isright, and will sub
nit to nothing that is wrong; Theirs
the "nght' to "rule Americas" and tina
right will bc maintained and exercised a
, every hazard.-lpenn. Telegraph.

THE MORALITIES OF TRADE,
WE see il announced in our EXCHANGE

We see il announced in our exchanges
that store is TO be opened in Boston,
with a capital of $3.50, 600, as an agency
for the sale of flour at Western prices,
with the addition OF the cost of transnor-
taion and incidental expenses. This
movement has grown out of the extortion
fpraciiced by the traders or midd!e-men.-
They stand between the farmer and con-
sumer, reducing the profits of the former,
increasing the expenses of the latter, and
monopollzing inordinate gains. By es-
tablishing agencies like that just mention
ed, the consumer and producer are again
brought close together, exchanges are ef.
fected at legitimate rates, and the immor.
alities of trade are at least circumscribed.
But how is the widespread evil of
adulteration to be remedied! There is
scarcely necessary of life that reaches
us in pure state. The art of effecting
changes in articles of consumption, so as
10 enhance the gains of the trader, has
grown into an institution among the mid
die men. Everything is adulterated that
can be, without the least regard TO the
right or wrong of the matter. An enter
prising, but conscientious friend, in a re-
cent letter to us, remarked that, having
got in order some mills for grinding spi-
ces, etc., lie was led to look into the man
ner of conducting the business. Il found
he said, that it was a system Of the gros-
sest fraud. Indian meal forms the basis
of most of the mustard, cinnamon, pimen-
to, ETC., rye meal, that of pepper. Many
OF the mixtures are no doubt poisonous;
if nothing but meal were used, it would
be although fraud, not hurlful. Spent
tan bark is frequently used with casSia.-
Sooner than enter into any such business,
| would work on the highway. Two of
our mills, therefore, have been running 10
waste for nearly year. The press ought
10 turn its attention 10 the subject. The
States prison is quite as favorable place
for young mans morals, as some of our
grocery establishments. fear they are
not alone. Our whole system of trade is
rotten. We send to Jail poor devil who
steals, it may be bread, to keep his chill
dren from starving and hold in high hon
or those who grow rich by systematic
fraud. The stupendous rascal is a shrewd
man the poor thief arouscs our virtuous
Indignation" "-We Era.

We proclaim 10 the world the following,
PRINCIPLES OF THE AMERICAN
PARTY or OHIO

I. The unlimited freedom of Religion dis.
connected with politcs-hostility to ecclesias.
tical influences upon the affairs Of government
equality Of rights all naluralized Emf.
grants who are thoroughly Americanized, and
owe no temporal allegiance, by reason of their
religion higher than that 10 the Constitution.
H. No Interference with the rights of cti-
zenship aleady acquired by Foreigners, and
the protection of law to all who honestly emf
CRATE from love of liberty but the exclusion of
foreign paupers and felons, and refusal to
extend the right of suffrage to all who come
hereafter until they shall have resided 81 years
in the United States and complied with the
naturalization Laws.
III. Opposition to all political organizations
composed exclusively Of Foreigners, and to
Foreign Military Companies, aud to all attempts
to exclude the Bible from Schools supported by
the government"
". Slavery is local-not national we Cd
pose its extension in any of our territories, and
the increase of its political power by the ad-
mission into the Union of any Slave State or
otherwise; and we demand of the General Gov.
cnment an immediate redress of the great
wrongs which have been inflicted upon the
cause of Freedom and the American character
by the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise, and
me introduction OF Slavery into Kansas in vio-
lation OF laws by the force of arms, and the de.
struclion of the elective franchise.
V. In humble imitation of the wisdom of
Washington, we oppose all intervention in the
affairs of Foreign States yet on all proper oc.
casion, we will not withhold our sympathy
from any people aspiring to be free
vi. We support American Industry and ge-
MUS against the adverse policy of Foreign ma
tlons and facilities TO internal and external
commerce by the improvement of rivers and
harbors and the construction of national roads
uniting the various sections of the Union.
VII The Union of these States should be
made perpetual by faithful allegiance to the
Constitution.
VIII, In State policy We zealously advocate
Retrenchment and Reform--a modification of
the present oppressive system of Taxation and
liberal system OF Public Schools.

Temporal Power Of the Pope.

Some months ago, DR.. M'Clintock pre-
pared a review of Mr.. Chandler's speech
on "the Temporal Power OF the Pope"
which was published in most. of the prOm-
nent journals throughout the Union. This
review has since been expanded into vol
ume, which has elected, from Roman Cath
oic writers, the severest criticism. Strange
as it may seem, however, the highest au-
thorities in the periodical press of that
Church, both in Europe and America, en-
dorse DIR. M'Clintock and repudiate Mr..
Chandler. They not only admit "thc Tenn
poral Power of the Pope," but rebnke Mr..
Chandler for attempting to explain away a
doctrine of the church which "the weight
of Catholicity" abundantly sustains. The
trnth of the matter seems to be, that they
find it will not do, in this age, to attempt
to hoodwink the American people on this
subject as they have done heretofore; and
they have concluded to assume the odious
doctrine which Mr.. Chandler dscloimed
with SO much holy horror, and to stand OIL
fall by it. The Boston Pilot, prominent
organ of the Roman Catholic Church, al
luding to DR.. M'Clintock's reply to Mr.
Chandler's defence of that Church, says
"We cannot but admit that DIR. M'Clintocl
has the best of the argument" and adds

The FOREIGN News. The points of
importance are,-not so much the war;
which, in the Crimea, seems to be ap-
preaching another crisis-but, in the mon
ey markets Of England and France, where
a panic is prevailing. lst. Both the
Banks of England and of France, are again
running their rates of interest up, to check
the loss of bullion. More gold will have
10 90 from the United States tn supply
the vacuum. I'd. As breadslufrs go up
again, cotton goes down again. Thus
what we gain in our cereas,-a loss OF a
gain, by the way, in The enhanted prices
of breadstuff;s here,-we lose on what is
not eaiable, cotton. Sd. The Turks alone,
whip the Russians as at Silstria and Kars
now. On the Goth of September, the
Turks at Kars repulsed the Russians af-
ter a seven hour conflict, with loss of
$500 killed, and twice that number wOun.
ded. When the Turks are in company
with the French and British, they do not
seem to amount to much, but alone, they
achieve brilliant victories. 4th. The cap
mre of Kilburn, by the allies, is of some
general importance. 5th. Alledged A.
merican sympathy for Russia occupies a
good deal of the attention of the British
Press, and much freis it. Our sympathy
with England and France is best shown
in our stock market, tile high price OF
bread, and the general fright here in mon
ey circles, when there is fright in Eng
land and France. Peace is what we want,
and Il plague on your wars. 9th. Rus
sia appears to be making desperate efforts
to carry on the war. The levies are in
creasing in severity. BY an imperial
ukase the militia in the provinces of Orcn'
burg and Samara is to be embodied in the
proportion of23 to every 1000 souls, TO
fll up the losses which disease and death
are daily making in the imperial ranks
