of the secret Order have exhibited the most hcll'sh intolerance, domineering and insuiting every one who opposed them.— Among its members could be counted pen niless fops, lounging vagabonds, old bro-ken-down, spavined and wind-broken politicians who had been kickcd years ago out of the Whig and Democratic parties.— There was indeed some few good clcvcr fellows who had by false representations been inveigled into the fouT don.

THE RIOTERS AGAIN.

On last Thursday night while the Na tional Democratic party were holding the usual jollification of victory in the streets, this Know Nothing mob again showed itself. We have always contended that what they are unable to accomplish by fair and lawful means, they are sworn to carry out by violations of law. This is the course they pursued at Washington City, at Philadelphia, at Rochester, at Chicago, and at Louisville.

They have always denied it, but now the citizens of the good town of Crawfordsville have seen for themselves. Their policy always has been to put down free speech, and to obstruct free thought. Every man who has joined the Order has lost his liberty of thinking for himself, because he is tram meled with oaths and obligations, and he is only a machine to execute the plans and the wishes of a few mad leaders, and those they are unable to entice into their conclaves where these muzzling obligations are imposed, they endeavor to control by mob and brute force.

This was attempted here last Thursday night, in front of the Temple of Justice itself. B. W. Hanna, Esq., was called upon by the assembled Democracy that were present, to address them, and while doing so was rudely assaulted by members of this Know Nothing Order and we have reason to believe with the sanction of the Order. They threw fire balls at him and eveiy thing they could do to put him down was done but they failed, he breasted their howls and their hate, and flung back their disgrace upon them.

In fact they seemed desperately anxious to get up a riot. We arc for peace and shall do all we can to counsel and preserve it, but there must be an end of this plan of operating.

Now let every man, every good man look at it. This is the Christian political order that makes such vaunting claims for the cause of liberty and the cause of Christ.— IIow can any civilized people uphold such a party. Is there not virtue enough, is there not intelligence enough to put it down now after such a demonstration here in our own streets forever.

Let the people now learn that religious intolerance and political proscription in this COUP try will not do. This same thing was once tried in France and what were the results? The frosts of Almighty God stung and withered that beautiful land to ashes. The holy religion was abandoned for infidelity, death was pronounced an eternal sleep, and what then followed? Liberty, virtue, and all that is noble and good were swept away together. "Men drank themselves drunk on blood to vomit crime."— This is the history of France during the Know Nothing reign there, and may the God of our fathers avert such results from us. It has been the same thing1 over again

O

here so far as it has gone, they have tried to put down free speech, the press has been assailed, the ballot-box has been blockaded, riot, arson and blood have been their track wherever they have gone. Booted and spurred on by their leaders the ruffian gang rough shod and steel corked have

But there is an end of this thing, and it dates from last Tuesday. Know Nothingism in this county is sunk, sunk, sunk forever. One hundred guns for old Montgomery!!! One hundred guns for the Constitution!!! One hundred guns for the Union!!!

PROSCRIPTION!

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Oct. 11th, 1855. MR. EDITOR:—You will do me a favor by publishing the following communication in your paper:

Five years ago I landed in the United States whither I had fled from the despotism of the old world. I was born In Italy, in the city of Vercelli, and from my infancy up to the time of my departure to the States, suffered in common with my coun­

trymen the tyranny of despots. To escape the scaffold, the scourge and dungeon, implements of Austrian rule, I fled my native land to seek an asylum in yours, where I might enjoy the blessing of civil and religious liberty. Under the leadership of the gallant Garribaldi I struggled to free my country, but French bayonets overpowered us, and liberty went down in a sea of blood. Tt was then I became an exile, and after braving the storms and perils of the wide Atlantic, landed among you. I have but one purpose, and that is to enjoy your blessings and prosperity and share in your vicissitudes and misfortunes. I have made this my home, and I expect never to see my fair Italia again. No, I bid farewell to the land of song. Her bright elysian fields and luxuriant vineyards will no more greet my eyes, but here in this mighty confederation of free and sovereign States I shall breathe the pure air of civil and religious liberty, ready at all times to respond with prompt alacrity the call of my adopted country to defend her shores from an invading host. I have lived eighteen months in your State, a good part of which time I have resided in Crawfordsville, being employed during the last four months by Mr. Alvin Ramey, whom I have served faithfully, but who on last Tuesday morning dismissed me from his service for acting the part of a freeman. He inquired of me "hoio I intended to vote." I told him that I should vote the National Democratic ticket, when he replied that "he would have nothing more to do with me For acting as my judgment best dictated I was thrown out of employment. Such an act would even make the tyrant Francis Joseph blush.— He would never stoop to so low a scale of petty and malignant proscription. But thank God the world is wide, and with strong arms and a clear conscience I can battle successfully with a common humanity in the great sea of life, inspired as I shall be with the golden principles of your glorious Constitution, and the blazing meO O teoric stars of liberty that gleam from the proud ensign of your republic.

GLORIOUS NEWS FROM ORANGE! By a letter from a gentleman at Orleans we learn that, so far as heard from, the Democratic majority is 55C-. The townships remain to be heard from, which will increase the majority to about 600. The Democratic majority in Orleans township is from 17 to 22. The usual Democratic majority is about 300. It will thus be seen that the base calumnies of the abolition Maine Law Know Nothings in the county officers have availed them nothing.

The Democrats of Putnam have elected their whole ticket by about ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY majority. Last year the abolition Know Nothings carried the county by four hundred. Democratic gain over five hundred!

SAMUEL C. HAMMER.

KOSSUTH ON THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. Kossuth writes that he considers the fall of Sebastopol only the beginning of the war. He says:—

The taking of Sebastopol decides nothing, solves no auestion, and brings nothing to an end. Quite the reverse. Success at

will rather inaugurate a real and protracted war- That will be the veritable beginning of the end.

He adds that only the South of Sebastopol is taken—or rather destroyed and "that the north remains to be invested and that to do this the basis of operations upon Kamiesch and Ealaklava has to be abandoned and a new one secured. A winter campaign in the Crimea is still the prospect.— The Allies suceess would be followed by "a war of blockade." In that case, he intimates, our Government must look to its rights, particularly to the doctrine of "free ships, free goods," which we in common with the Forthern powers have declared.,
