The Know-Nothing Ticket.

The Know Nothing and Black Republican
mountain. was seized with the pains of labor at
Jefferson, on last Tuesday and brought forth
political monstrosity, which is neither a mouse
nor yet long tailed rat. The progeny, as our
readers will perceive, is composed of black spirits
and white, blue spirits ard gray.

JOHN PRISGLE is farmer Of aldermanic pro-
portions; as a man and citizen we have nothing
to say against him. He was suspected of being
a democrat, until the advent of Know Nothingism
when he joined the order and is of the lead
ing spirits of that political moloch in Summerhill
township. His services at Harrisburg can be dis
pensed viii. viii ffor the present.
| Moses CASAS, is whig of ancient merit and
| renown, it was rumored last fall, that he joined
| the Know Nothings, but we cannot vouch for its
| age and his amiable disposition.
! STEPHEN LLOYD, is respectable citizen, well
advanced in years-of him it may .ruy be said,
that his democracy never assumed chronic FORM
We predict, that Noses and Stephen are not

CHARLES W. W1SGARD, is decidedly the fastest
young man in politics, in all these parts. In box
! ing the political compass, Tom Marshall of Ken
lucky is perfect fool to him. Although Wing
he proposed short time since, to stump the coun-
ty for Buchanan-being relieved of that task he
can stump it for himself. We would like e
hear Charley on the hustings. We can picture to
ourselves the admiring crowd as they listen to his
ingenious explanation of how man, who wants
office can jump Jim Crow.
And still they gazed and still the wonder grew

HowAnD J. RoBERTs, is personally unexcep
tionable, and is well qualified for the office tt
which he has been nominated. We regret ex
ceedingly to see him in such bad company Bu
he that soweth the whiriwnd must expect to rear
the storm.
! PETER M'CoY, milk and " ater democ, at
until threeaer four years ago. He has always beer
terribly afflicted with wild hunt after office but
as the democracy could never discover Peter,
strong points, he deserted and went over to tn,
Black Republicans. He has made his own bee
and in it he must lay. If the Allegheny Town
ship boys don't give Peter very neat and com
plete skinning, on the 14th of October, we will
be somewhat astonished
OBADIAH WARp.-We know very little Of th
political antecedents of this gentleman, exccp
that he full blooded Know-Nothing, an,

The Congressional Conferccs were instructed Z.
vote for JoHS BRoTHERLINE, ESQ.,. of Blair coun
ty, and the Senatorial Conferees for A. G.. Mullen
Esq, of Cambria.
The ticket is almost exclusively composed O
know-Nothings. If there is any enc candidate
on 1t, has never crossed the threshold of a lodge
bis cowardly fears alone prevented him--his svm
pathies and his votes were always on the side r
the proscriptive order. Democrats of Cambri,
