.. a THE END IS NOT YET. We have opposed the Anti- American organizations called Know Nothings, says ike Trenton American, on the ground that the tendency was against the political and rejigious rights of man, and threatening to overthrow the government of the country. In the rccent elections, Know Nothingism brought to its aid all the prejudicies against the Catholic Church, and indeed required in its initiations, the most 6olemn oath against this particular religion. We opposea this feature because it was against the ^letter and spirit of our National State Constitution. It requires no very extensive amount of human reason to see that Know rNothingism will not slop at the disfranchise.tnent of the members of the Catholic church.

Members of other churches we fear will not only find their religious sentiments and formulas laughed to scorn by this new organisation, but they will learn to their chagrin that efforts will be made to bring in question their own rights of conscience. For Vfnstance, a pamphlet has already been writblis

Fourth. "Episcopal Methodism is AntiAmerican in its direct tendency to suppress -^freedom of speech and of the press." After Know Nothingism demolishes the Methottist and Catholic churches in the country, what next will be marked out for vindictive ond intolerant Juggernaut! "Coming events cast their shadows before them."

MANIFESTO.

By the Grace of God, We, Nicholas the First, Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russians, occ., fcc., fec., malce known:—

The causes of the war, that still lasts, are well understood by our beloved Russia. The eountry knows that neither ambitious views, nor the desire to obtain new advan-

•calamities inseperable from war, we aro eon stantly witnessing brilliant examples and proofs of this feeling as well as of the courage that it inspires.

Such aro the defeats more than once indicted on the enemy's troops on the other side of the Caucausus, notwithstanding a great disparity of force, which was the unequal conflict sustained with success by the defenders of the coasts of Finland, of the convent of Solovetsky, and of the port of Petropaulowsky in Kamschatka. Such, above all, is the heroic defence of Sevastopol, signalized by so many exploits of invincible courage, and of indefatigable activity, as to be admired and done justice to by our enemies themselves.

Beholding, with humblo gratitude to* wards God, the toils, the bravery, the selfdenial of our forces both by land and sea, and also the general outburst of devotion that animates all ranks of the empire, we venture to recognize therein the pledge and augury of a happier future.

Penetrated with our duty as a Christian, we cannot desire a prolonged effusion of blood, and certainly we 6hall not repulse any offers and conditions of peace that are compatible with the dignity of our empire, and the interests of our well beloved subjects. But another and no less sacred duty commands us, in this obstinate struggle, to keep ourselves prepared for efforts and sacrifices proportioned to the means of action directed against us.

Have not the Jews as good a right to petition the Council to enforce the observance of their Sabbath, and other denominations that rest on other days, using every day in the week for a Sabbath? Each and every sect have or ought to have the same right, and every good Christian will certainly admit the fact. The Methodist should have the right to enforce their own members (if they all agree) to a better observance of their Sabbath, if they act wrongly on that day but if they mean to apply their "force" (what a word for loving Christians to use) to other professions who have equal rights with themselves, their aim is nothing short of despotism, and the Council have no bu-

The immediate advantages that Russia would obtain would be the co-operation of a Persian army against the Turks, in Armenia, and the power of harrassiag our Indian army by stirring up, and uniting agianstus, the tribes of the Indian frontier, who are said to be in tho Punjaub able to bring at least 100,000 fighting men into the field. It is true that these are altogether unable to cope with our regular troops in the plains, but by a well organized system of incessant inroads into our territories, they would compel us to keep up a very much larger force on the frontier than is necessary at present.

The most formidable results of the success of the present Russian policy in Central Asia would be the complete alienation of the two Mussulmdl powers most interested in repelling a Russian aggression, and the establishment of a base of operation at Herat and Cabul for a future attack in British India whenever an opportunity should offer.

their armies exceed our own in number about a third. It is true that their troops are ill commanded and wocse disciplined, but, on the ouhcr hand, the English in India are only 40,000 aliens, among a native population of 140,000,000. A few years of Russian intrigue, assisted by the reasonable prospect of emancipation held out by the prior establishment of a Russian forcc at the gates of India, would stir up all the hostile elements afloat against us, and might cause revolts which would fully employ our army, and leave our frontier open.

Our Sepoys, though superior to anything that could be brought agaiust them by the native princes of the low country, were unable to cope with the hardier races with which the extension of our empire had brought us into the collision in Nepaul and Afghanistan and no one who has had an opportunity of comparing the vastly superior physique and the independent bearing

When these photographs are carefelly taken on proper bank note paper, they defy detection either by the naked eye or by microscope inspection

One of these photographs, from a SlO bill, was deposited by Mr. F. with other bills, in the Life and Trust Company, and was received without suspicion. He then informed them that ther« was a bad bill among them the money was re-inspected, and he was positively assured that it was all good, and requested to point out the defective bill he did so, and after a general examination by the officers present, the bill was again pronounced good. Another trial was made by presenting a photographic copy of a bill at the principal Banking Houses. At the Banks of Smead, Collard ic Hughes, Gregory & Ingalsbee, and some others, the photograph was received, and after careful inspection, was pronounced a good bill. A still more rigid test was made by presenting photographs and genuine bills to Mr. Booth, and other bank-note engravers. After the most careful inspection, they were unable to detect the photograpic counterfeit, for, as I have observed, the minutest details are perfect under microscope scrutiny.

I thiuk it obvious from theso facts that our paper money currency is in a dangerous condition, and that it is necessary to give tho widest publicity to these alarming developments. If any good master of photography, .can in a short time, and at a trifling expense, flood the country with spurious money, which even cashiers, presidents and experts of every grade are unable to detect, we have no security in our paper currency.

It is not only our currency that is assailed by this art, but everything depending on the human pen '.s liable to counterfeiting.

0£rKnow Nothingism it seems is showing its hydra-head, in Missouri politics. A few days since the Whig members of the Legislature of Missouri met in caucus to nominate Bank Directors on the part of the State and it appears from the remarks of Mr. Zeigler, a Whig member of the House of Representatives from the county of St. Genevieve, that there was a cheating around the board, and that Know Nothingism attempted to control the action of the caucus, which Mr. Zeigler took exceptions to. The following which we take from the Jefferson City correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, is a portion of the remarks of Mr. Z., before 1he Legislature went into an election for Bank officers:

Mr. Zeigler responded to Mr. Rannels with considerable warmth, and boldly charged fraud upon the part of most of those Bank offices. He went there as a "Whig he!

Mr. President:—The committee to which was referred the address to the Democrats of Indiana which was read at the last meeting of this Association, report back said address and offer the following as a substitute therefor. The Committee considered that the length was too great, and it being impossible to curtail it without injury, it was thought best to prepare a new one. The general sentiments of said address are such as they concur in, and havo in the main reproduced in the substitute.

IXDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26, 1855.

DEMOCRATS OF INDIANA.—'Whatever be the purposes which men are endeavoring to accomplish, the first requisite of success is organization. The church, the armv, the charitable or commercial association have, in all age3, recognized this patent truth.— Unflinching courage exalted by a good cause and directed by a cordial union, have enabled small bands of men in many epochs of the world's history to astonish mankind by wonderful successes. Our own State in the dark days when Whiggery ruled it, furnished an example for Democrats of the present, and for the millions yet unborn.— The Democratic party, though greatly outnumbered in 1843, by united action gained A Waterloo victory, and raised Indiana to the first class among her sister States.— They struck the dead corpse of public credit, and it sprang into life. They breathed activity and strength into the slumbering energies of a giant State. They gave her people a wise administration, and every branch of business awoke as by an electric shock. Principle pointed the way, but united energy and unflinching determination bore the standard to victory.

Once again, Democrats, of Indiana, you are defeated. You had grown inactive by success. Victory had made you careless. You had found like Hannibal an inglorious Cannae. You were trusting too much to

To counteract the plots of these midnight traitors, to preserve the rights of man, to preserve your federal Union and your State constitution, to preserve your own liberties, we invite you to form associations similar to this whose constitution we send you.— Let there be an Association in every township of every county. Let it be open as the day light. Let all men listen to its deliberations. Let those deliberations have no object in view except the furtherance of Democratic principles. The Association should be subsidiary to the Democratic party. It is not to make nominations. It is to require no oath. It is a deliberative, and not a legislative body. Let every Democrat enroll his name and meet with his brethren. You are to listen to Democratic addresses, to publish documents, to disseminate information, to labor harmoniously as men on whom the greatness and the glory of your eountry depends. Let National men who are opposed to eecrct dictation, and the lowers of. the Union, however they
