The foreigners for whom he now pretends so much regard will, therefore, know how much confidence to place in the professions of the Protestant Jesuite," who can change his principles as often as it suits his purpose. Many of our citizens will remember the renegade Italian priest, Guistimam, who published in Philadelphia, about ten years ago, a stupid slander against the religion which, on account of bis lewdness, he was no longer permitted to teach.

On Saturday evening last, as M'Kin- tion. It appears that r. Edwin II. Brookway, the candidate for Clerk of the Sessions, as is usual with the party leaders in this county, "fixed a ticket," to be run by the faithful, which he of course expected to have chosen without opposition. On counting the votes, however, Brockway and his clique were thunderstruck to find that two of their men were defeated, and the third within an ace of falling behind, also, by another ticket which had been run without the knowledge or consent of the leaders.

It was at firt determined to oust them, but upon ascertaining that at least one-tnird of the whole number of Jhlegates were of the Name clan, tho lender concluded itwn bent to keep quiet. A result precisely similar to that of ilernville, occurred at tho Ioco Delegate Election in Friedcnsburg. ltegulars were defeated and Know-Nothings carried the day and so in several other townships and boroughs. At Womelsdorf, report says, there was a glorious row in the party, occasioned by the running of Know-Nothing Delegates. The "Order" seems to be in great favor with the Country Democracy.

The Heading Press says further, that Mr. Paul Hungcrford, a standing candidate of the Schreckenszeiten Locos in Spruce Ward, came within tour votes of being defeated, last Saturday, by Mr. Franklin Till, who is supposed to have been brought out by the Know-Nothings. It is said that a majority of Democrats in Spruce belong to the organization, and that Hunger-ford could have been handsomely defeated it they had chosen to make the effort. J.

A large number of persons were present, and the business was proceeded with at once. Judge Graham charged the grand jury in a very able manner and length, relative to the business which would come before them. He dwelt upon the law of murder, defining its various grades.

Iocu Foco Dishonesty. Were the Loco Foco leaders honest in their denunciations of secret political associations, and apply the test to their own candidates which they appeal to Whigs to apply to theirs, we might have some respect for their professions, and admire their conduct. But, so lone to as they show by their conduct that they are not. honest, they are entitled to no other such consideration.

Thus, at their recent Convention in Schuylkill county, they gravely, and irrpudently resolved that Judge Pollock is not worthy the Bupport of freemen, because, as they lege, he is supposed to be a Know Nothing; nd yet they at the same time extolled to the -kies, as a good Democrat, Henry S.

The Whig party is made up of material that is the spontaneous g-owth of a freehearted American people, and its friends are the advocates of pure Republican Institutions in every hamlet, villiage and city of the land. The Whig party first landed on the Plymouth Rock to escape the Old World oppression it fought and bled nt Lexington and Bunker Hill for the freedom it now enjoys, and it is as vigorous to maintain right to day against age res-sion as it was the first hours of its triumph. Because an issue has been forced upon it by the Slave power of the South, that, pjr the time, bids fair to merge a large proportion of other parties with it, all acting in concert for the general good, there is no reason to suppose its identity has been lost. Those who have persuaded themselves into this belief wilt discover their mistake at the polls, where the Whig party will be found in more than its original strength and with unfaltering courage doing battle for the cause of liberty.
