Il U oWol flings! m Tiiz CaRTiFiGATEi 3Ia2k Toitiblicati Know-NotMngism. Among thi political organizations of 185 J, there was one separate, independent and fully developed, which, in its operations, arrested the retention of the most careless observer, and filled the minds of n!l true men wuh unquiet a-.d dread. That organization was "Know-Xothingism." When i. was f.:3t learned that n secret poll, ical ass)cii:i)n had been formed, the members of which were bound bv solemn oaths and f -arful pledges to do whatever a sot of leaders, no matter how corrupt, should order them; which always met in the daik. ia secret places: ac'ed in the d uk, and 3'abbed ia the dark like the hired assassin, a ihiill of surpiise and terror went through the land like an electric shock. Bold rnrtn trembled, for who could meet the milnight blow? and patriotic 6'atesmen, tiied and true, of all former parties, who 1 ad their countrv's jrood first and foremost in their minds, cried, with uplif ed l.niids: "God save our countrv fiom tho machinations cf such a party!" ; And when the honest i:.dign:i:ion of some j ti ne men, who had boon entrapped into j their 1 dges. and who had repudiated them !

shall

an Ij heir piinciples'ns dishonest, traitorous once be known. But they deny it: Time and unholy, had burst out and made, pub-1 & again did Schuyler Colfax on the stump, lie tho wicked principle and traitorous J deny that he was or ever had been a mcmcaths by which V-.oy are bound together, j ber of tho Know Nothing order. And and upon which they organized, from ihe j Westervelt, Thompson, & Co., and the dens-; f rrcs:s of Maine to the everglades j other lesser Republican lights who for of Fl .ii la from the shoie of the blue At- j years have been trying to get a dip at the 1 thtic to ti e snow-capped Roeky Mountains public crib have stoudy maintained that

one voice of honest cxt-cration and indi rati ;!i wis heard denouncing, in thunder tones, euch unholy practices. And when tho leaders and members of Know-Nothing Lodges, were pointed out, they were hissed in tho streets; and the very name has become a by-word and a scorn among the people. And snon the officers, members and leaders betamü ashamed of themselves, even; nnd sought, by every means, to hide from the puhlic their connection wi.h.cr participation in, that detested orgmiz.v.fon. But no matter how black, how hellish, nor how traitorous may hn tho principles and designs cf any secret society, it will always find adherents; And strange to say, (alas poor human niture!) Know Nothingiam found many, and though its principles sip tho very foundation of our government, and arc subversive of the holiest principles of our constitution, there are yet men, who for the love of a paltry political office, will shut their eyes to everything but their own selfish ends, and rush Hindly forrord nd try by every means in

iheir power to advance find propagate, to sustain and build upon the unholy doctrines of Know Nolhingism. And who are Know Nothings, and what are their principles and doctrines? What are the measures of this dark lantern, by-lane, Jail-room party, which cause it to be so thoroughly detested by the pure-minded common sense portion of communi.y? Fist, an inpious oath to Know Xoihing but the will of their leaders. .Second, religious bigotry, persecution and intolerance, and war to the knife wLh anyone who worsliip3 God in a manner difFerently from themselves and lastly "down with the Irish, down with the Germans," down to the dust wi.h every sacred light of conscience and free cuienship, except the right to be mobbed and butchered at the Ballot Box! First thev swear with one hand upon the holy word of God, and the other laised to heaven as a token of their sincerity to do just as they are told to do by the controlling powers of the Lodge, vote as they are told to vote, fight as they are told to fi-ht, and in fact become men

machines in the hands of unprincipled lead- Ho Lafayette, supported one entire regier: then swear hos ili:y to the people of' ment at his own expense; and then Isold every nation except their own, and never to their hands, to heaven and shout: vote for any foreigner for any office in the "down with the Catholics?" Can they

fust of the people.and . disfranchisement of , all foreign born citizens who have not resiled wiJiiu our borders for twenty-one years, and lastly down wi.h the Catholics! iSuch are the men, and such are the piinciplea, and max ins of that secret poli.ical socieiy. To the support of them every Know Xothing pledges himself by the most solemn oath that can be imposed upon a man. And have we any sucdi among us? Can ' j it be that there is, within the limits of our Country any man who has so far forgotten his fathers nativity, and the country of his blood, as to subsciibe ard swear to such principles and such an organization?

Read it!!! State of Indiana. Marshall County.) We, the undersigned, hereby certify, that within the last eighteen months there ' has been a "Know-Xothing" organization, J and a Know-Xothing Lodge, in the town j jof Plymouth in said county; and that II. R. Persuing, ihe Republican candidate for county Treasurer, was an ac; ing member of - r.ublican candidate for Sh.oiff un. ,1,. n I 1 w " ""f k 7nfr: tliC Repll and that John L. Westertelt, publican nominee for Commissioner f the 2d dtstrict of said county, was the President of said Lodge, and ho was the one who administered the oath to persons being admitted; also, G. P. Cherrv was at that lime a member. And we also certify that SciiuriXR Colfax was a memb -r of the Know-Nothing organization in the year 1C5L Thes things we certify, not from hearsay, but from our own personal knowledge, for we have met those persons in the Lodge Room. And also, that the place of meeting was, for a long time, the large room, up stairs , in tho Jail of &aid county, and in the storo of J. L. Westervelt. n. Mclaughlin, S A. FRANCIS, DAVID HOW, CHAS.

PIATT. Read it again! twice over! Who are these men? Why, they arc every one of them Republican Candidates f r officv. Is the Republican party a Know Nothing Party? A donkey is known by its ears, and a party bv its Kaders, aud though it may hide i.self beneath the lion skin of "human freedom" the ears will stick out, and the true nature of the animal at th contaminating torch of Know Nothin"- . I ism had never come in contact with their broadcloth. Why do they so earnestly deny themielvesl are they ashamed of what they have done? If they are, why do they not come out boldly and renounce their connection with 60 iniquitous a thing? Have they over done so? No. But like Schuyler Colfax they, on tho stump dony their connection with it, and then come down and give tho Know Nothing grip to some goo2 brother, to let him know that they ar a3 great demagogues as ever. Are such the men we want to fill our pub lic offices? Men who aro bound by oaths and pledges to favor a particular 60. of associates, no matter how much the public may suffer from feuch favori.ism. Will j-ou, citizens of Marshall County, and the Ninth District, vote for principles which flout your fathers in the face, and drive them from tho polls? Can any man read the burning pages of our Country's History upon which are recorded, in letters of living light, th heroic deed f tho gnlUnt

Frenchmen, and chivalrous Polanders, of the brave Germans and impetuous Irish; who so freely poured out their life blood for us in the direful strahle for on i Nation's freedom, and then swear, with one hand upon the b'.ble, now tluV we arc great and powerful, that the children and descendants of those to whom we owe so much of our prosper! :y, shrill not be welcomed to our shores as brothers? Do thev in their pride of heart, forget that without tho help of those who were not Americans, there would never have been "Americans to rule America," nor an America for Americans to rule. And now, rolling in their luxury, would they deny to the downtrodden and oppressed ofthat Old World beyond the waters from whence so many blesings have flown to us, the privilege of of a home in the land of promiso their sires helped to give to us? Can they read in that same history, that every ba'tln-fiield of our Revolution, from Saratoga to Savannah, was dyed with Catholic blood; that Catholic money clothed the shivering sick atid frcezi:ig soldiers at Valley Forge; that a Catho-

read the article in the Constitu ion of our State which says 'Xo religious test shall be required as a qualification for any oJ?i:e of trust or profit" and then swear that he who bows the head and bends the knee in humble adoration and praise to the Great Giver of all Good, beneath the emblem of the Cross, shall be disfranchised, and tho dearest rights of ci.izenship taken from him? How can such men swear to support the Constitution of the State- of Indi ana, as every man when qualified for any office under that Constitution must? What would their oath be worth should they take it, when set off against their former KnowXothing oath? And when a man's oath is worthless, what is the man good for? Felluw citizens, these are the principles and the men ihe Republicans ask you to i ' - vote lor! 1'ause tor a moment ere you do it, and think of the conequonccs which must follow the propagation of them, to County, State ,and Country! We, as democrats who are guided by no higher law than our own Constitution in the adminis tration of public affairs, earnestly invite! you to consider well the step you are about to bike, and by your vote on Tuesday next, tell to the world that you have not -ct forgotten "for what your father's l'ou rht and fell." Thö followimr 1 r-nnwifl fi-,rvi tin r ... 'orus. wun tne Klerk's Ueruhcaro atinched thereto. Various reports have been circulated in reference to the part that T. B. Thompson, the Republican candidate for! Sheriff, acted in nidi g Jack to escape jus-1 lice; in order to place him in his trm col- j ors before the public, we give place to the I certified statement of the Clerk State of Indiana Marshall coustv J Marshall Circuit Court, August Term, 1856. State of Indiana, vs. John W. Jack. Grand Larceny. We, J. W. Jack, and T. B. Thompson. owo the State of Indiana seven hundred dollars, lo hi levied of our property. The oondi.ion of tho above is, that the said J. W. Jack sh ill person illy be and appear before the Marshall Circuit Court on the first dav of the next term thereof, to answer a charge of Grand Larceny, and abide the order of the Court, and not depart thence without loavc; then this recognizance 6hall be void else to remain in full force. JOHN W. JACK. T. B. THOMPSON. Taken and approved by mo this March the 19, 1855. J. L. Thompson-, S. M. C. And afterwards, on the third day of the August term, 1855, the following proceedings were had in said case: State of Indiana, j vs. John W. Jack. Grand Larceny. No ,v comes Thomas B. Thompson, the surety on recognizance, and pays into the hands of the Clerk of this Court, the sum of seven hundred d.dlars, the amount of said recognizance; and upon the motion of M. II. Weir, Prosecuting Attorney, it is ordered by the Court, that the said Thompson be released from all further liability on sail recognizance. I, Newton R. Packard. Clerk of the Marshall Circuit Court in and for said county, hereby certify, that the foreoin" is a true copy of proceedings had in the above entitled cause: also, that T. B. Thompson was deputy Sheriff at that time. In witness of which, I hereunto set my k hand and affix tho seal of j q4I ) said Court, at Plvmouth, this 1 f 3Jth day of September, A. D. 1855. NEWTON R. PACKARD, Clerk. DON'T FORGET! That John L. Westervelt, who asks your votes to elcit him county Commissioner, in a speech which he made at the Court House, some two weeks ago, ho said that the Democratic party was composed of. Horse thieves, murderers, gamblers, Ballot Box stuffrs, and criminals generally; and, yet he requires Democratic votes to elect him. DON'T FORGET! That he, and Thomas B. Thompson, aro both on the same ticket; the latter forSher iff, and that the latter, while Deputy Sheriff, l.ist yar, had charge ih j.iil r?d

prisoners; a:id that under his charge the notorious Dick Eno made his escape and no effort was made to catch him; that tho notorious John W. Jack wa3 bailed out of Jail, by T. B. Tho mp son.that Jack gave Thompson ihn gold, and Thompson became bail, and then lent the money to said Westervelt, and H. B. Pershing, and got the interest for over rive months; that Jack f rfeited his bail, and that Thompson instead of paying the gold which Jack gave him, bought Bank Paper to pay oil' his bond, and a part of i: uncurreut at that. DON'T FORGET! That if you elect Westervelt, the merchant, as commissioner; Pershing, the di-uist. as Treasurer; and Thompson, the derelict officer, as Sheriff, that the county funds can be used, by Westervelt, Peishing, and Thompson as well as deposited bail money has been used by them, at a profit to themselves, and that men whom they stylo Drunkards, gamblers, horsethieves, ignoramuses, will have votes to enable them to do so, and pay the taxes, v.hich they can

use for their own benefit ci.izens instead of maraudingseoundiels; is lhiV urn Rniil tr l? lli 1 1. I.' . votes.

county is out of debt. They charge, a!s, that the Auditor and Treasurer have so arranged their books that ors' returns, it will be seen that the entries on the Auditor's and Treasurer's books are correct; which proves that the charge is false, groundless and nnlicious; and we shall brand those who make it, as liars until they prove it trua. When the campaign opened in this county, wo hoped, so fir as the county candidates were concerned, that all personal matters would be laid aside; but no sooner had the Democrats made their nominations, than the opposition commenced a series of attacks upon tho private character of some of our candidates; have i ciliated the most palpable and iraiisp4ien. filsehoods, even going so far as to bring tY.vxr families into tlie political arena. We have, ia this connection, particular reference to the course pursucu toward our candidate fjrSherid. They have circulated reports in distant parts of the county against Mr. Van Valkenuurgii, they dare not circulate where he is known. It is unnecessary to state the character of these falsehoods, as there are men in every neighborhood who know the facts in the case, and will present them to the people. Mr. Vax Valkenhuugh has been a citizen with us about three years; during that lime ho has conducted himself in his business transactions as to merit respect of all whose respect is worth seeking for. Being physically incapacitated for manual labor, (having almost entirely lost tho use of his right hand.) a good citizen, well qualified, and deserving of the office, the Democrats tendered him tho nomination for Sheriff. Prior to his nomination, there was not one word said against his character as a jjood citizen; but the oppod'iou,fls c00n fi? it, ws known that he

tne can put a Handsome sum into their j bled r. the street. He responded in a short like a caul ot fat over tlie mtes ines of a ; j;1 Indiana, held at In li t:, ipol s. on W.vlown packets.

A pole with a hickory butt and ash top spliced with withes had been prepared for the Republicans, about 75 feet in hciglh. A Hag had been sent up "from do Sou f," by Mr. Burbank (brother-in-lawof Mr. Morton,) which was certainly unique. It was square red and white stripe with a cross in ono corner, garnished with stars, and along the middle between the stripes was a line of letters lookinr like a miscellaneous lot of shoemaker's o . , lasts on end which on near approach spelled out "0.

Since the suspension cf .he Coinaiiitee the popular mind has reg-iined its accustomed repose, and affairs How on in their ordinary channel once, more, leaving us no very striking incidents or movements to chr-m-icle at present. The politicians are endea-; voting to supply subjects lor koepmg up the excitement, growing out of the action of the Committee, but as yet wc believe, with indifiirent success. Partizm speakers and papers are exerting themselves with great ze d to yet up an excitement, but thus far the popular mind does not seem to have sympathized vety warmly with the effort. Violent harran.jues from the stump, and stirring appeals thiough the press, are common enough, and yet there is but livtle enthusiasm amotig the mso. The fact is the people of California are too independent to become very zealous p.u titans and too deeply engrossed with their pi ivati af fairs to bestow much attention upon thos
