The Philadelphia Buiiotia gives the follow
ing account of a secret Irish political associa-
ton in that city -
"What does the SIN and Ne,es mean by
Molly Mcguire !; is aqueston asked Just now
in POLITICAL circles. We believe that Molly
is an Irish Democratic POLITICAL association,
secret and oath bound like the Know Moth
ing order, which under the regular open name
of the American Union Benevolent Associa-
ton, exercises a controlling influence in Dem
ocratic nominating conventions. We do not
know how the members are distinguished, but
] is understood that the two green lanterns
which hung over the platform at the rally in
Independence Square ON Thursday evening,
were the signals of the order. The officers
were all lrshmen, and the prominent members
are among the most conspicious wire-workers
in the party The confusion at the late Con
vonton at Spring Garden Hall, was OCCASION
ed by the fight between the 'Mollys' and the
American Democrats, both factions having
candidates for nominations in the field. Many
of the order hold office under the Federal
administration in this city. Last Sunday the
Rev. Mr.. Cantwell the pastor Of the Catholic
Church of st. Philip de Nori, created consid-
cradle CONSERVATION among his flock by de-
nouncng the order and declaring that he
would cxcomunicote any of them who bclon-
ged TO it, if he could find them out. As the
order is entirely Catholic affair, we imagine
that there will be trouble in the ranks of the
untcrriicd we hear growing even now from
American Democrats, to the effect that the
'Mollys hold too many offices already

From Kansas.

BY a private letter, says the Caroliuian,
welearn that there will be no fight in Kansas.
The Lawrence people have given up to Gov.
Walker, and the force of law and order sup
ported by Dragons. Our correspondent
states that tho pro-slarcry party had given up
the contest for slavery before the arrival of
Gov. Walker-that the country is not suited
for slaves-that Judge Elmoro's negroes had
most of them been frost-bttcn during the win
tcr-that the cold winds from the Rocky
Mountains sweeping over tic land, with no
wood to keep the negroes as warm as they re-
qu're, render the country unsuited to them.
We learn from the best authority of friends
who have just visited Kansas, that this infor-
nation is correct.
