Not caring whether our Know Nothtngism pletiei tho Council' or not, we continue our review of the platform that his been cobbled up for Know Nothings to stand on. And, in doing to, we are but reiterating the entimeits we frequently advanced, during the canvass last summer, and from time to time, beforo and since, and we now allude to them more for the benefit of our numerous new readers, than for any other purpose. Finding in the ceremonies of initiation to the bated secret order, some expressions that we thought inconsistent with these views, we stopped the grand pow-wow, for explanation, and we were assured that tho order contemplated nothing more than a correction of the abuses we have alluded to, and hence we "pitched in" and wo are ready to pitch out whenever it changes its platform or purposes. We will never allow any set of man in secret or publio caucuses, to raako a platform for our adoption no, never, and we shall constantly teach all men this abhorrenco of parting with personal rights. But to tho platform: Fifth. Wo ihal! maintain tho doctrine that no one ot li e States has the right to admit to thr enjoyment ofrr ivjrage any person of foreign birth, who has not been jtrif made a citizen of the United States, according to the "uniform rule" of naturalization prescribed by Congress, under the pro visions of the constitution. That suits ui exactly. It is sound to the core. We believe that if there was any way of appealing tho Constitutlon of Indiana, it would bo found unconstitutional. Give us a "uniform rule" rigidly enforced, tnd wo do not think the lentrth of probation need be iacreued. Let ui try tho rule, at all event, before lengthening the term of probation. Sixth: We shall oppose, now and hereafter, arr "union of Church and Slate." no matter what class of rcli gioniata shall seek to bring about such Dahl We can't help thinking a man is a iooi or a anare wno incorporatcs such an article in his political creea. lie inignt jusi as wen say ha Is opposedto the adoption ol aheitditary monarchy.

This article of faith is indtspensible to the latitude of Washington, but it never can be assented to among freemen. Thoso who are leading in the true Know Nothing movement in the North, are believers in the "higher law" doctrine. It is a love of this higher law that gate the movement birth. It was to retain the bible in our schools, that first aroused protes tant Americanism. When a whole party was ready to sacrifice our free school system, anu oiaita vom u me creat charter of human liberty, the Americans wno love tueir country ana their bibles, said they would hence forth act with'and for Americans. t nW for alaverv oroDa gandisU to attempt to siezo upon the present movement to strengthen their cause, or weaken the caui5 of tlieir opponeuts.

We ah all maintain aud dofend the constitution as it standi, the Union as it exists, and tho right t of the Slates, without diminution a guaranteed thereby: opposing at all times, and to the extent of our ability and influence, all who may assail them, or any of them. M Eltvint,., We shall oppose no man, and sustain do man, on the ground of his opposition to, or his support of Democratic measures, or Whig measure; Lut we shall oppose those who oppose our doctrines, and thoso who susUia our doctrines. T:tjth. And lastly, wc i hall use our utmost exertions to builJ up an "American party," whoso maxim shall be: Amiricans shall rile them COCNTRT. We consent to these, except tho

formation of a "party." As wo understand the word, wo are opposed to it. o belong to no party never will belong to any. We most heartily subscribo to tho doctrino that Ameri cans shall rule their country. But when we say Americans shall rule their country, wo do not say native Americans. Many of our adopted fellow citizens aro as truly American in heart as men can be. Dut wo do say that henceforth and forever, wo shall opposo all rut n who seek tobe elected by courting the votes of foreigners, at euch. Moreover, tho roan who courts such a vote is himself no American, let him be born where ho may. Neither docs ho desire to be elected by American. The ve.-y fact that lie appeals to foreigners for their support, because he is friendly to them us foreigners, is proof that he has not personal merit to sustain him, and that ho is in favor of some- anti-American sentiments that they nsun-Amr-icanized men yet favor. Docs nny demagogue ever approach the Wynne, tho Daibours, Qcorgo Dickson, Jonathan Hart, or tho McClures, or She ras, or O'Bjrncs for support becauso he is a friend to foreigners? Ncvcrl Thcso men, though born in foreign Unds, aro Americans of the truest blood. They love the land of their adoption. They lore its laws and in stitutions, and tho man who would appeal to them for support, because he loves foreigners, would be spurned They want to vote for Americans for offico they want American laws to prevail On the other hand, the demagogues against whom Know Nothingisra is directed, over whom it must and triumph, go to unnaturalized and un-Aracricanized foreigners. They ß to tho German who, though he m7 1)0 intelligent in his own language, knows but Utile of ours, and conc quent'y knowi but littlo of our instituUons. They appeal to tho passions of the Irishman on our public works, Lnj b7 ove 0f whisky, and lovo of Ireland, and lovo of popery, they deLjr0 loinhis vote. Against such demagogues our hands is raised, and wo appeal to all honest men of all pa-tiea to aid us in Americanizing the politics of America. It can bo done, jt vm j, jonet jn ,r,(0 0f th bowlings of men in power, who nro likely to bo ousted by tho movement.

we puonsn ior mo ucncni oi our reauers. Dut wo would servo tho bereaved or happy lnends right, to throw them or happy friends right, to throw them away, and let them send the notices to tha city Dollar papers. A. a general thing wo do not publih nv rnmmumrütion from tnnsn hsu any communication irora tnose "ho patronize city papers to the txelusion of homo papers. Let them try their cheap papers with their com munications, and they will find that unless the subject matter is interest,rt .t,:,. .,1. .v.. A O 7 er hear from them again. .1 rt-- 1 .V. vne reason, anu iue cmei reason why our paper is worth twice as much to any intelligent citizen of this coun ty as a city dollar paper, is that those are but the reissue of the stale matter taken from their dailies and which is got up for the taites and interests of city aubscribers. It is like eating the cold scraps at the second table, for whica the landlord only charges half price, These cold scraps may satisfy hunger, - but they go down with poor relish. Our paper is a paper of news home news as well as loreign, and we can doi get it ui iur icaa mau uunai year, and we don't intend to try. e respecuuu unti wen mmcu - communications on all subjects home interest, from our patrons, - those who can borrow conveniently ... and rezularlv: but correspondents that live in neighborhoods that are so mean tbat they have to send five cents in orrtoMtiDctD at their reductions would do better to send to the Dollar Weeklies.

How it Can be Done. Every man who undertakes to conduct an independenr paper, must face ono difficulty, thatin a pecuniary point of tho view, will terrify most persons. A party ppcr receives tho support of tho party, and persons who aspire to oflico nnd honor feel an interest in its existence. Not unfreriujntly they will tako from two to ten copies, nnd they labor to get others to take it. Dut nn independent paper may not bo relied upon to bo at tho service of any man or any cliquo in a political contest, and hence such aspirants, take but little interest in it. Its patrons love to read it, but ordinarily they tale but littlo fur her interests in iln welfare. Dut when an independent paper, takes a feat less and firm stand on suck questions rs aro now before tho people, without asking whom it pleases or displeases, it will have friends. Even its enemies will patronize it, for they love open and consistent opponents. We havo been led to these remarks, by a few letters, we havo received lately, concerning our paper. Ono man in l'nyetto county, sends us six nanv;s, saying. "I have obtained

theso names with but littlo trouble.

Wo are happy to announce that this prtper now exchange. We were anxious for an exchange, not only for the reasons g'ven last week, but because we regard it ns the roost reliable exponent of old-lineism now published in the State. Mr. Robinson is deci dedly tho most talented editor at tho head of an old lino paper published in Indiana, and then his official position gives his articles the force of at least b Bcnii'oui1:!! uocuuieuis. no i9 not only in tho confidence of the Pmi ucni, out, e is a bjicvihi uieuu nuu ol confident of lion. J. V. might, the or Vice-President. In view of these facts, we attatca more importance . . . the v cws and positions cf the Jaciso nian than to any other paper on that side of the question. And then we think he is morally and socially well fitted to be chief among the leaders ' that party.

McClure Library Fund. Some twelve or fifteen years hince, a Mr. McCluro of New Harmony, Indiana, died, leaving property to tho amount of nearly half it million, which, by tho terms of his will wanbequcnlhed in sums of five hundred dollar, to associations of mechanics and laboring men, and thoso "who earn their living by the sweat of their brow" (so tho will reads,) for the purchase of Libralies. Any such association having n lecture room, and ono hundred dollars' worth of books, is entitled to the benefits of tho will. Dy somo means the caso was taken into tho courts, whero it was pending for ft number of years. Recently, the matter was decided by the Supreme Court, and Judge Alvin P. Ilovey, administrator with tho will annexed, i now complying with tho protisions of tho will. Tho administrator would prefer that the entire amount of the bequest bo expended in this State, but associations out of the Stato are not precluded from its benefits. In Iosey county, we understand, Bonw ten or twelve associations havo been formed, and have each received their five hundred dollar.

We hopu nt least one such associal'on ench township in this county, M'1'" m ooks uo bought, or donated, and inform Judge Hovey of it Iiis addicsi. is Mt. Vrernon, Ind.

Higher Law. Our readers will remember that Senator Seward, in hid epeech on the Fugitive Slave Law, announced his belief in a Higher Law, than human enactments. For this ho hat bf in branded as a traitor to his country, and a repudiation of Higher Law ism, has been i cardinal article t f faith, in the purty that U devoted to tho extension of slavery, because tho Law of God rebukes shivery. But a new issue has arisen which makes a revision of this doctrine necessary. The attention of American protectants has been called to lho alarming fact, that the votes of Itoman Catholic, are to be courted at tho expense of American Protestants, though they constitute but cno nineteenth of tho population of tho country. Those who re

sist this procedure allege, a one ob jection, to being thus ruled by Human ists, who constitute so small a minority ol tho votes of thit Itepubllc, that whatever oath of allegiance they take, their religious failh binds them to hupremo allegiance to a foreign d:spot, tho Popo. At first an effort wnsmade to deny this, but, the canons of the church, aro too well known to ndrnUof such dvtiiitl. llenco tl.u t.iclics of party havo changed and their allegiance to the pop., is justified on the ground of the supremeey of tho Higher Law. In a speech of .Mr. Hunter, of Virginin, it prubitblu old-liius Kluvery-ex-tending, catholic loing, candidate for tho 'presidency, delivered at Petersburgh, Vn., just beforo tho late election, he said: "Fellow citizens, such a distinction does not in truth exist. The Catholic of the present day no more admits tlx? supremacy of the Churchill temporal matters than ihn Protestant; their deference is in regard to spiritual concerns. The Protestant maintains tho right of private judgement in mutters of conScience; the Catholic believes that in spiritual allVirs ihu decisions of the Church ought to ovt i rulu lho individual judgement. Hut Protestants nnd embolics, all Christian Churches and individuals believe that the allegiance which they owe to Gud i higher than any obligation to man; and that in a conflict bcttecen Human and Divine Low you must serve Hod rather than vian." There it is, fellow citizens. It is all right for catholics to bj believers in the Higher Law, but it is tie tsou in a Protestant. Docs any sensible man, wonder ut the just indignation that has arisen-against the demagogues, who thus court catholic votes?

jTiTThc Danville (Ky.) Tribune

of tho Ißth inst., contains the follow ing article by a fruit grower of cxperienccexplaining what the writer under stand to be the cause of the double and triple peaches this year: Cause of the Double Peaches. "All the varieties of the peach, nectarine and other fruit, have been stunted in their growth of the last two summers, so that they could cot make their regular growth. Now vegetation recommences with the . tpring of tho second year and the rclurn of warm weather. Tho uppermost and perhaps tome other buds, which were formed the previous yeor, gradually unfolded and pump up sp from the stock remaining in store about them. The olace of the aap ao removed is instantly supplied by that which is next. An impulse is thus given to tho fluids from the summit to the root. New sap is absorbed from the earth, and sent upwards througk the ood of last year, and the phenomenon called tho llow of the sap is fully completed to continue with greater or less velocity till lho return of winter. The nxefc of the bud elongates tipwards, forming leaves nnd buds in the same way as tho parent hoot. In like manner also, each bud sends down its roots in the form of fibres within the baik, nnd above the wood f the hoot from which it sprang, thus forming on the one hand anew layer of wood, and on the other a fresh deposit of baik. In order to facilitate this last operation, the old bark and wood are seprated in lhe pring by lho exudation from both of them of the glul'nous, slimy substances called cambium, which appears lobe expressly intended in tlutirst instance lo facilitate the descent of the subcortical fibres of tho growing buds, and in the second place lo generate the cellular tissue by which the h rrirmtal dila tation ot the axes is caused, and which iiaintitins it communication between the bark and the centre of the axes. Theo lines of communication have by lho second year become sufficiently developed. This is tho reason of so sirango a ihing in lho peach, as. there was no wood made last year but bearing wood, and so it happened that double buds camo forth on each shoot ( which is reasonable. This is the wKole causo of it, and lhe sudden flow of lhe sap rising in each bud. Boti.k Oaro :ns, May t 1C55. Tiik Frkk Bank Mektinu.
