K. G.. G..

These three words mean secret politl-
cal csbal-the KNIGHTS OF THE IoLDEN
CIRCLE. The PhH1d Daily -Ners is
giving a history of the whole concern.
1t was established by friends of John G.
Calhoun, Immediately after the failure OF
Modification. IL was designed to destroy
the American Union, and to establish a
Slave Empire in the South, Ii ius;igated
the Mobs against Ant-Slavery Societies in
1885 and '36-it engineered the scheme
to re-establsh Slavery throughout Texas
it encouraged the Filiibustering and
Cuba. seizing raids-it aided 20 elect Pierce
and Buchanan-it divided the great
American churches, aud the Wing, Amer
can and Democratic parties, on the Slavery
issue-it managed to precipitate Secession
into being-and it now seeks, By prcjudi-
cling the people against the Administration,
to overthrow our Republican Government,
and plant slave O!igsrchy on its ruins
Such is the K 6. G., whose secret en-
issaries control the Democratic presses,
and seek to make the nominations, and
frame the Platforms Of that party.
Berks county endorses it.
Tuesday last, full Democratic meet
ing was held in the Berks county Court
House, and controlled by such men as
Congressman Ancona, Hester Clymer,
and j. Clancy Jones. Among the reso-
lutions adopted is the following:
"Resoloed, That secret societies, l,oltti-
cal or otleruise, are not an themselves az
violation Of the Constitution and the taps,
aud that whenever a free people see pro-
per to organizs themselves, IN secret or in
public, they have a right to protection,
and if the government, for political pur-
poses, fails to render that protection, zee
pledge ourselves to furnish It to the e.ctem Of
our poner."
This resolution approves of SECRET
POLITICAL ORGANIZAFIoNs-such as
have already been proven to exist IN that
county, as full of treason as is South
Carolina itself, but which the Sellers and
other honest men are getting out OF upon
learning its real nature.
1Tbe following, from recent city
paper, is another proof of the internal
secret league, which threads our State,
ready to betray it into the hands Of the
slave power

Look at the Figures.

Taxpayers. we ask your attention to
the fearful exhibition Of figures, which
show the increasing debt brought upon
the country by the Abolition party. The
expenses Of the war are set down at
THREE MILLroNs PER DAY and the war
has lasted nearly one thousand days,
which. at that rate, amounts to the enOr-
NOUS sum of THREE Billions of dol
lars Now, Pennsylvania quota has
been officially fixed at one sixth of the
whole, which is $5OO,OOO, 900! 1t is
upon this that the following apportion-
ment of debt and interest is based.
In the same way the quota for each
township, in Cambria County, can be as
certained, which will amount to far more
than all the property in the county would
bring at public sale. Just think of it
taxpayers and consider whether you will
vote for a continuance Of this state Of
things. Remember that EVERY DOLLAR
OF THIS MONEY MUST BE RAISED BY
TAXATION. If you desire this species
of servitude. and are tired of liberty, all
you have to do, in order TO increase your
misery. is to vote for Andy Curtin.

ing. Hon. c. L. Pe2shing was called

together peacefully, to discuss the polit-

coming when Democrat would not be
allowed to speak. He would fearlessIy
resist the encroachments upon the guar

had desired a change and they were now
experiencing it. If they wanted to con-
tlnue this state of things-if they wanted
to aggravate their condition. all they had
to do was to vote for Andrew G. Curtin
but if they desired to amcliorate their
condition and to preserve their Tbcr-
ties, they must vote the Democratic

Curtin's administration and referred to the
base frauds practiced on our soldiers by
