GOT. POLLOCh AGAIN.


GErhe Chambersburg Wig s.mpposes" Cover
ner Pollock to be a member OF the Know Nothing
Party, bat denies that heis ssntoleran. iliberal,
proscrptive, either in politics religion" That
Gov. Pollock is not man OF this disposition, natn
rally we have always believed, and said SO both be-
fore and after has eeetion--but having assumed the
dreadful obligations ofthe Order, he is much ac
conntabe the propagation OF the .revolfins fea-
lures Of Know-Nothinsism any man connected
with the Chambersburg or any other Lodge-aad the
only possible way relieve himself from the deep
odun which hangs to his skirts is follow the ex-
ample set by Alr. BAIRD, by publicly denying his
connection with this pestlential combination against
the Constitution and the best interests OF civilized
life. Let him adopt the language OF the Wig, and
boldly proclaim to the world that no good citizen
ought TO act with party where s:are diae<-gHarfs
oa,l oreyrle as many hunred respectable mr9f," and
he will receive credit for sincerity when he is an
nounced as being hostile intolerance and proscrip-
ton! Know Nothngism in Franklin county is no
more revolving than Know-Nothingism in any other
part Of the State, and the man who, Governor Of
this great Commonwealth quietly acquiesces in their
midnight conspiraces By declining 10 aid IN expo
sing them, is justly more censurable than those who
lock endorse the policy Of the Mig in its manly OPP
position 10 this dark lantern osarchy? Ii he does
and will make the fact appear, we Will cordially JOIN
that Journal in rendering him the highest encomums
due to true Patriotism. But so long Gov. Pollock
ma aInains his membership in the Order, The f'feeHet
of Pennsylvania will hold him accountable for aid
Ing and abettng in upholdng all the lniqnity charg-
ed upon the Know -Nothings OF Chambersburg. Mr..
BAIRD, who their candidate for justice of the
Supreme Court has pubIished letter declaring that
'She never has been, and he, knoT-No-
thing" notwithstanding he was soiemnly declared
such, by the Executive Committee, before the cleo
toni Them If Gov. Pollock does not favor its enor
mites, why does he not speak out like man Why
does he not lend the influence his position gives him
to strike dorm monster he helped to create, and
which seeks to suhvert everything thut is dear 10
freemen Can the Whig give any good reason why
the Governor ( aeDs5rc Of tie Orier,) should no re-
pudate its gross violations of all that pertains TO de-
ceucy and right, if he does not sanction them! Is
not this due the Constitutions to his oah Of oice,
and the people whose interests he is TO pro
tect? We have no desire to do Injustice to Governor
Pollock, and in asking these questions, trust the
Whig will not consider us ''censorous,' but give the
alluded to. We say, in the sincerity of our heart,
that if any proinnent Democrat would refuse 10 girc
his opinioA on this exciting question, would hold
him just as guilty as II he had subscribed 10 their
oaths and cordially sanctioned all their acts-and if
Democratic State Convention, the DeDsoeratie
Press, would even lend their to build up
a secret oath-bound political association, we would
denounce them fully aud empbaticalIy as we
have denounced The present organization, regaressof
,rLoa, 1t di,pleased. Hence, we cannot but admire
the bold aud manly pursued BY the edi-
tor Of the Wing.

faith, and were driven from it by the dreadful out
