and abadoned it. A portion of its
doctrines originated in the religious
prosecutions, centuries ago; but the
hatred which the Know-Nothings ex-
hibit towards the Irish, was inherited
from John Bull. AS early as the
reign of Henry W., the British gov
ernment passed an act entitled
"What sort of Irishmen may come to
dwell in England" tits not strange
that such di!apidated fogyism of Old
England should be repudiated by re-
publican and enlightened America in
this progressive age. The only thing
remarkable is the fact that the British
Government repealed their statutory
law against Irishmen, at the same
time that the intelligent freemen of
America repudiated and spat upon
acknowledgement. That the cob
webbed brains of England's Parlia-
ment should act in harmony with the
public opinion of America is GER
tainly remarkable coincidence

The antiquarian, in search Of

The antiquarian, in search Of
word-lore, would doubtless find the
derivation and meaning Of many
words and odd names applicable to
men and things of the present time.
Now we of the present generation,
when two political parties, opposed
to each other in principles, unite for
the purpose Of securing the spoils of
Office, call it ''fusion." The anti
quarian would express the same
meaning by using the term 'Hoghen-
Moghen" which was the name given
to the different factions which united
in opposing the government of James
III. The term was of Dutch origin,
and has been corrupted to "Hugger-
Muggcr-" Now, when the Fillmore
men are in search of new party
name, and are desirous of uniting all
opposition to the democracy, we COM
mend this maine to their attention.
1t would admit of further corrup-
ton, to facilitate pronunciation and
express the exact meaning required,
and may be rendered ''Hug-a-Nig-

WHIsKEY AND WATER.-A divert
ing scene took place yesterday on
Myers street, in which a drunken
Irishman played a very conspicuous
part. He had applied i'll rather bois-
ferrous manner at the bar OF The "Min-
ers Hotel and Deutches Cast Haus"
for drink, and upon being refused :,
kicked up rumpus, and with blow
on the "smellcr" aud sundry kicks
was finally elected therefrom. His
friends endeavored to force his retire
ment from the seat Of war, but be broke
from them. aud "took water" by wad-
ing through the big puddle standing in
front OF the house, and pulling his shirt
over his head, placed himselfin fight
ing attitude, and declared himself 'able
for any man, After several ineffcctu-
al attempts to recapture the defeated
warrior, his friends finally took him
prisoner, and by main force dragged
him from the bloodless field.

The LIQUOR Question.

The legislature have not yet settled this vexed
question. Early in the session the members OF
the HOUSE fresh from the people, passed bill in
conformity to their wishes, repealing the obnoxi-
GUS law of last winter which had been placed
upon the statute book by the Know Nothings in
defiance of the popular viii as previously expires
sed at the polls. The SENATE substituted what
is familiarly known as Browns bill, and sent it
back to the House. where it was amended, and re-
turned to the Senate. In the amendments of the
House the Senate refused to concur, and commit
tees of conference were accordingly appointed by
both houses to settle the points of difference be-
tween them. The committee on the part of the
Senate were Messrs. Brown, Jordan and Whcrry,
and on that of the House Messrs Wright, (of
Luzerne,) Getz, and Hunsecker. The committee
were unable to agree, and the bill was likely to
be lost, but a resolution has been passed author
ising the appointment of two additional members
to the committee from each house. The Senate
have accordingly appointed Messrs. Buckalew, and
Flenniken, and the House Messrs. Hill, of West
nloreland, and Edinger, of Monroe.
Whether this increase of the committee will
enable it to settle the difficulties between the two
branches of the legislature remains to be seen.
If not, a new bill will have to be started which
will authorize the licensing of well regulated hotels
so as to accommodate the travelling public, and
conform to the wishes of the people.
a number of the members it is said have ex-
pressed determination not to adjourn until the
question is settled by the passage of satisfactory
bill, and they may possibly tack it ON to the
appropriation bilt' as means of raising rev.
enue. few days more will decide the fate ol
the present bill.

Fillmore at Rome.

AItbough our Know Nothing friends are con-
siderable exercised about matters generally per-
tanning to their unprecedented position before the
pubc, vet the most troublesome fly in their
whiskey, appears to be the fact th.s while they
have selected Mr.. Fillmore to be their candidate,
and lead off in exterminating Catholics, that gen
tleman at this present speaking, finds himself at
Rome, check by jowl not only with his Holiness
the Pore, but, oh, Horror of Horrors on terms
of intimate friendship with the General of the
Jesuitsi
Now this is bad. The matter may be consid-
cred from two points of view, from Eeither of
which general Know-Nothing can derive any
consolation. We have also, looked at the thing
in both lights. and have come to the conclusion,
that those gentlemen would soon have to select
another leader. The simple fact Of an associa-
ton with that concentration of iniquity, the Gen
eral of the Jesuits, ought of course to unfit any
man for being the candidate of a virtuous, puri-
fed party, like the falsely called American, or
Know Nothing Party, this we lake for granted.
But Mr. Fillmore is exposed to considerable per
sonal danger. 1t is well known that the Pope
has in his Palace, constantly sharpencd and ready
for use, a Patent Sausage Machine, invented, it
pains us to say, by cute gentleman of the Yam
kee persuasion. This machine is well known
is kept for the purpose of converting into sausage,
all those refractory heretics who presume to differ
with his Holiness. Now suppose that while Mr..
Fillmore is kissing the Pope's toe as Of course he
will have to do somebody should whisper in the
ear of his Holiness. that the gentleman before him
was the anti Catholic candidate for President of
the United States! Imagine the scenel The
Know-Nothing candidate would be converted into
=" BOlOgna's," in fifteen minutes. We say" q" Bo-
logRa's," as it is well known that the sausages
manufactured in the Roman States, bear that
designation. Should Mr.. Fillmore be among the
missing, It will be highly important for the Know
Nothing's to make strict examination of all sau-
sages imported into the United States, they may
find their candidate returned to them neatly put
up in small packages.

Use Of Torture in British India.

The miss government of the British in Ind
has long been proverbial. But even tho.
persons in Earope or America who have en-
tertained the worst opinions of English mis-
rule in Hindoztan have had no idea of the
lengths to which this oppression has been car
ried
1t seems, for example, that the use Of tor
ture in the collection of she revenue has long
been common Men and even women have
been whipped; have been hung up by the
arms to tree !; have had their hands, their
ears, their thighs, and other still more sensi-
tive parts of the body squeezed betweea
boards, till blood came or the sufferer tainted
Some have been tied in the most painful pos
lures, and compelled to remain thus for hours.
in broiling sun, tormented by thirst and
venomous insects. Others have been sub
jected to modes Of torture which decency
forbids us to name. Not few have been
manned for life Death has even sometimes
been the result Nor have these things been
done in a corner, or visited only on defaulters
of the deepest dye. They have taken place
with the knowledge, if not connivance Of
English officials, and the victims have often
been miserable, half starved peasants, who
were but few shillings in arrears
We say that these tortures have been in
fcted with tho knowledge, if not the conni-
vance of the British officials The Prcsi-
dency of Madras, in which this system Of
torture is carried on most extensively, has a
land system to itself. The whole soil is own
ed by the government, that is, by the East
IDdia Company, and the holdings are parcel
led out to the peasants as mere tenants at will.
The guilty ator is at the mercy of the govern
ment for the amount of his rent and the per-
mancncy of his tenure. The collector, whom
the government employs. virtually holds the
peasant at his mercy He is generally ma
tive, and left to manage affairs as he chooses;
and it is this Indifference, on the part of the
government, which has led to the use of tor
ture. Nobody has cared to interfere, both
because it is nobody's especial business, and
because residence in India soon renders
Englishmcn callouS to the treatment of the
Hindoos. Thus, year after year. this nefa-
rious system of torture has been carried on,
with the general knowledge of the British
residents in Madras, and under the direct
responsibility of the government yet no one
has cared to interfere. At last, to its honor,
the British Parliament has interfered. The
knowledge of the mode and extent of the
torture employed, we owe in fact, TO COM

The way in which the Known Nothings just now
are pitching into the Republicans is quite anu

where the fight between the friends of Fillmore
and Seward wakes warm. A Ratification meet

The State Ticket.

The Democratic State ticket, nominated by the
late convention, is one in every respect worthy of
the support of the party-indeed of the people,
irrespective of party considerations.
GEORGE SCOTT, candidate for Canal Commits
sioner, was Democratic representative in the
Assembly in 1854, from the counties of Co
lumbia and Moutour, and was one of the most
popular and intelligent members of that body
enlightened in his views, aud firm in the perfor-
nance of his public duties. He has had large
experience in every thing connected with the pub
lie improvements-has been a railroad and canal
contractor, and conducted himself in all the pub
lie relations of life with ability and spotless integ
rity. He is native of Bradford county, but has
been for many years a citizen of Coumba-''the
Star of the North" He is favorably known
throughout the Northeastern counties, and his
vote in that quarter will demonstrate the conf
dence with which he is regarded. We think the
Convention acted wisely and well in placing him
in nomination as the candidate of the party.
JACOB Fry, Jr., the nominee for Auditor Gen
eral, is too well and favoraby known to require
any special notice from us. He is citizen of
Montgomery county-served two terms in Con-
gress from that district with credit to himself and
entire satisfaction to his constituency, and last
winter as a leading member of the Assembly He
is gentleman of more than ordinary ability and
of the most unquestioned integrity. His popu-
larity at home, and his good name throughout the
State, make him a formidable candidate
TIMOTHY IVES, Sr., the nominee for Surveyor
General, halls from Potter county. He has serv-
ed with credit in the State Senate, has held many
positions under the Government, and has had
much experience in public affairs. We believe
him to be sound Democrat, and have no doubt
that he will fill the Office for which he has been
selected with ability and usefulness to the State
With such ticket, and the prestige of success
which we derive from the numbers, character
intelligence and unanimity of the Convention,
we enter upon the contest of 1856 with moral
certainty of fsuccess.-Ha,ris6uyy Patriot.
