arising out of the same cause. Thice i teachers have, within a shor.t time, been dis missed, against whom there was not the slight- est ciiai coin uuict or incompetency uui they were members of the Catholic church. These are some of the first fiuits of knoi Nothing intolerance- Let the reader pause and reflect. If the burning of churches, the destroying of lives, the demolition of houses, and the turning out oi employment, ui pooi helpless females, because they prefer to serve their Creator accordim: to the tenets of a par ticular church, are anions the first fruits of an intolerant secret political association, what may be expected in the future Religious toleration has been among the greatest blessings of thib country, but if it is once destroyed there is no telling what the result will be. Those of one religious faith may be the subjects of persecution to-day those of another to-morrow, and no one can tell which may fol bir 111 the tram, so suuden do Chan' low often each other.

Let the people think of these things, lor all are interested, oeiore tne' countenance blindly an association, which may strike, as interest dictates, to-uay at one anu to-morrow at another, and which docs strike at the very peace and welfare of our country tho -N'orristoivu Register Principles Let Democrats he Warned. Mr. Editor I told you on a former occa sion that was not in the habit of writing for papers, but under the present circumstances of things cannot help encroacning a nine upon your time and space. I feel it a duty to again admomsn teilow ciemocrats to in ciples and to warn them of the attempts that are made to defeat them. The way in which this is attempted to be done is by the means ot JS.no Aothmg-ism.

The plan is this, to push these intolerant political associations into all the towns and dis-tiicts of the State and then to get as many democrats into them as possible, the calculation being that if they can succeed in getting a few in each district, they can turn thein over to James Pollock, the Whig and Know Nothing candidate for Governor, and thereby defeat Bigler. That these purposes can be the better secured, effort is made to find out those democrats who may have become dissatisfied for any reason, and then that they in turn will be able to influetice a sufficient number of others. I have been told of an instance in which a democrat was waited on by a person with a little book, and urged to give his name to join this association. I say, democrats should keep a sharp lookout. The whole thing of Know Nothing-ism is a trap with which to catch democratic votes, to be turned over to the Whig aud Know Nothing candidate for Governor.

iow many democrats of Montgomery will be trapped in this way Let them be admonished in time, and adhere as they always have done to the principles of JEFFERSON.

The know-nothings have counted on a large accession from the democratic ranks, but they have discovered that but a very few have been verdant enougn to desert their post lor the purpose of uniting themselves to such a contempt ible mi as the know-nothins: society, to be vied to secure the election of Pollock. Some six: or eight weeks ago, money was raised by rue wmgb, mm wun me assistance ot two Ihice whig politicians from Philadelphia, as ciety was organized here, with the high priest oi uie ueiunct anti-masonic party ot tne town at its head and for a week or two their so ciety worked many changes from the whig party, and some six or eight from the democratic party.

But they now labor with but poor success, as they cannot And any more democrats swimming in shallow water. The society have now turned their attention to the country, and if democrats can be found willing to swallow the bait, the whigs of Huntingdon will organize societies in every election district in the county. Last week two of the most prominent whigs ot our town went to Shirieysbnrg lor the purpose of organizing a society of know-nothings there, but the reception they received satisfied them that the democrats in that neighborhood could not be caught with the know-nothing Humbug, in alt other districts in the county we feel very sure the democrats will give ail know -nothing emissaries the same flattering reception. Huntingdon Globe. Know-JYotMng- Oaths.

A correspondent of the Richmond Examiner furnishes that paper with a number of the oaths andlectures of the Know Nothings, which he says came to his knowledge by accident, and he has the strongest reasons to believe that they are genuine. Indeed, he has not a doubt on the point. He remarks "Know Nothing-ism is opposed to the sentiments which, by the aid of yonr Jeffeison. and all your revolutionary sires, brought these States outof servitude to independence and asks, '-what can come of ic but alienation of brotherly love, prostration of all fraternal feeling, civil war in all our cities, feuds in our villages, battles on our public works, discord, anarchy, overthrow of republicanism, and arrest of progress He further sa3'S that Know Nothing Councils make nominations directly, when strong e-nough to elect officers and I heir system ramifies into every business and relation ot life, their members swearing to support a brother before all others." Upon enterintr the ante-room of the. Council, the applicant for admission is sworn to secrccv" he is to pretend not even to know of the existence of such an Order.

The officer then propounds to him the following inquiries -'1. What is your name? 2. What is your age? 3. Where is your residence? -A. Tn your religious belief are you a'Roman Catholic 5.

Where were you born 6- Where were your parents born i 7. Where were your grand-parents born S. Did either of vour ancestors lake apart in the American-Revolution 9.

Ir.s friends may propose him for the second degree, in which he promises "always to conform to the wuT of the majority of the members of the Order, in the selection of candidates to fill every office of honor, profit or trust within the gift of the people. Ln the tmrcl degree, wtnen is quite lengthy, the candidate, -'kneeling before God. with his hand upraised toward heaven." swears that he will keep the secrets of the degreethat he will always vote for members of the Order that iie will contribute of his means to advance their creed and -hinds himself under no less a penally than that of having his grave trampled upon by foreigners, and to have, his memory cursed by his children and his children's children.

So help him God and witness his obligation." From the oath of the second degree it will be seen how easily the are to control the whole machinery of the Order. They compose nearly all the members, and of course will regulate the nomination to tfuit themselves.
