DRYTowN, Aug. 25th, 1856.
Eos LEDGER.-If there ever was a par
ty which could boast of greater pretentions
with more inconsistencies than any other
that is the Know Nothing party.
1t is poor compliment to the intelligence
Of the people to attempt to palm off on them
such flaming stuff as are their pretended
principles, as being good, sound American
doctrine 1t was by these same pretentions
that they succeeded in last falls election in
this State; but the people, having been once
gulled, they are too wise to be caught by
chat second time. They pretend that
they are in favor of Pacific Railroad; so
do some people pretend that the moon is
made of green cheese There is not an act
a word an intimation of any kind in the
proceedings of the party in the Atlantic
States, that would indicate that they ever
even dreamed of making appropriations for
such a purpose, should they come into pow
err
True the great-little-giant-pigmy--I am |,
if | am not l. who the devil am I--Senator
Foote, says, the Know Nothing party is in
favor of the road, and gives this as a reason
that, 1--WE have a man that we all know and
can rely upon," which, he says lis worth a
thousand platforms by the Democratic par
ty, although nothing is advanced by the Phil
adelphia Convention or their nominee, Milard
Fillmore, in favor of the road; still, this Won
derful Foote, this would-be Senator, from
California, says that their silence is far more
expressive of their determination to push the
measure through, than the almost unani-
mously expressed opinion favoring its speedy
completion, by the Democratic Convention at
Cincinnati Wonderful discovery The Hon
gentleman is undoubtedly about to introduce
a new system Of logic By this logic he can
prove that because Fillmore has had an OPP
portunity within the last year to kiss the
Pope's toe, he is therefore qualified to be
President; or some Republican may prove
that because Fremont captured wolly horse
on the Rocky Mountains, he should be sent
to the White House.
Had that party any intention of building
Pacific Railroad, why did they not say so
in convention; for they certainly could not
have been ignorant Of the interest felt by the
whole people, one way or the other in the
subject 1t evidently was because they sup
posed a majority of the people in the Allan
tic States were opposed to it, and that it
would be an unpopular measure there; they
supposed it safer to run the risk of loosing
California than to jeopardize their immagin-
ed popularity in many other States They
thought too, that there was a possibility of
gulling the people Of this State into the be

The Democratic Battle Hymn.

DEDICATED TO THE KEYSTONE CLUB.
AIR--"Marseilles Hymn"
Behold the furious storm is rolling,
Which traitor-fends confederate raise:
The hounds of woe let loose are bowling.
And soon our brothers home will blaze;
And shall we calmly view the ruin,
While bloody force, with lawless stride
Spreads desolation far and wide.
This happy land in blood imbruing?
Arise, arise, ye brave!
And let our war cry be
Our God, our Union. and our flag,
Our creed, and victory.
Oh, blessed Union we will ne'er resign thee,
Nor fail to bow before thy glorious name,
While madmen rail and knaves malign thee,
Shall we be recreant 10 thy fame
NO by the Constitution bending DER usl
No! by the revolutions sacred dead
No by the peals past and fed
mol by the destiny before US
Awakel awake! brave hearts
Put down the traitor clan
Who would our Union rend in parts,
The last best hope of man.
And bark the popular shout is waking
In every breast generous flame;
And Treason, in his den is quaking,
And shuddering at his death of shame
And where our starry banner cleaning,
The patriot Buchanan stands.
Supported by our hearts and hands,
Triumph above and around him beamng
From the Constitutions rock,
With God our hearts to see,
We dare the traitors direct shock.
And wait for victory.
Do not despair ye millions pining
In bloody fetters DER the sea
The orb ye watch is not declining,
Tho sorely clouded it may be.
On this fair shore we will reserve yc
shelter from the despot's frown
A refuge from the peltng storm.
And blessed Union we will preserve thee
Yes! for the God above us
Has made and kept us free
And from the skies beyond us
He points to victory

VALUE OF A LAWYERS OPINION.
how tie public put low estimate upon the
value of the declarations of some attorneys
as to peoples character. Whether this arises
from the freedom with which such declara-
tions are made, or from what other mo-
tive we will not say. Mr.. --i is one of our
best lawyers. He possesses a good share of
legal acumen and cunning But like many
Others, he has great aptitude to speak
harshly of parties and witnesses opposed to
him And he does this so frequently that he
does not rrcollect all that he has heretofore
said
On Tuesday last Mr.. - defended eli
ent at the police court upon charge of petit
larceny One of his witnesses 'swore so
stoutly' that the prosecution sought to inn
peach him. The first witness called to sup
port the Impeachment, made out a strong
case of credulity. Mr.. - took him up on
the cross-eEannation.

of Dwight is bad?'
