KNOW-NOTHING PLATFORM IN PNSYLVA
NIA
We publish below a letter of Simon Came
ron. esq., of Pennsylvania, containing as loath.
some an abolition creed as could well be gotten
tp. It will be borne in mind that Mr. Cameron
Is the candidate of the Know-nothing party of
Pennsylvania, for thu United States Senate. It
will also be borne in mind that the Southern
Know-nothings have been boasting of his sound
ness-on the slavery question, and holding him
up to the country as evidencing the sound and
orthodox views of their brethren of Pennsylva
nia. That the Southern Know-nothings may
understand the character and designs of their
Northern allies, we spread before them the creed
of the Pennsylvania Know-nothing abolition
candidate for Senator:
HARRTSBURG, Feb. 9, 1855.
DEAR Sin: I have, at 12 o'clock, received
your letter of this morning, and reply to it im
mediately.
To your first interr6gatory.
THave you ever, at any time been, or are you
now, or will you ever be, in favor of the so
,called Kansas-Nebraska bill, passed by Congress
at its last session ?"
Answer.-From the day it was introduced in
the Senate to this time, I have been opposed to
the hill, nor shall I ever favor it.
2d." Would you, if elected to the Senate of
the United States. use all honorable and fair
means to effect the restoration of the so-called
Missouri Compromise, which was literally and
virtually abrogated by the passage of the afore.
said Kansas-Nebraska bill!"
In answer-I would.
3d. " Would you, if elected to the Senate of
the United States, use all honorable and fait
means in your power, to effect a repeal of what
is commonly known as the "Fugitive Slave
Law?"
Answer.-The passage of the Compromise
Measures was acquiesced in by the North, and
I had hoped the questions growing out of it
had been settled, but as the South has been the
first to violate it, I hold the bill subject to revi.
sion, and will act with the North upon this and
all questions connected with the subject of slave
ry. I answer-I will.
4th. " Do you recognize the right of Congress,
and if so, would you act upon auch right, and
use your vote :nd influence to legislate for all
territories now belonging, or which may hereaf
ter be acquired by the United States, to the
utter and entire exclusion of slavery or invol
untary servit ude in said Territories ?"
Mv answer is, that I recognize the right and
would so legi-lbite. -
5th. -"Wou!d you oppose by all and every
honorable and fair mears in your power, the
extension of slavery and involuntary servitude
over territory now free, or anywhere or any
time, now or hereafter, wherever, or whenever,
it imav be endeavored, by its friends to intro
dure itT"
For an answer to thi<, I could readily refer
to my senatorial course-especially my vote on
the Wilmot Proviso; but that there may be no
misunderstanding, 1 emphatically answer in the
affirmative.
6th. " Would you at all times, and upon all
occasions, protect and preserve inviolate in this
respect, :as in all others, the rights, immunities,
and privileges of the North. as guaranteed to
them by our Constitutions and laws, against any
and all'encroachments of our sister States, com
prisiAg and composing the Southern part of our
National Confederacy 1"
Answer. A Northern man who would not
proleet and preserve the rights of the North is
unworthy of the respect (if any honorable man,
and for those rights I would battle until the last,
either iii a public or private station.
7m. Are yomu in favor of and would you vote,
.c,. :,nd use voir influtence in favor of such a
syteml ; public rates and duties, as would
tiost effectually, and btyond all doubt, guard
our home industry and manufacture against
foreign competition and pauper labor?
Answ er.-M2y principles have always been in
favor ofI the & Americani system." I have never
doubted as to what was the true policy of the
country, and I aniswer your interrogatory itt the
afti:mtuatute.
8th. De you still, in this respect, adhere to
anid abide by the sentiments and doctrines con
tainaed in lihe speech delivered by you in the
Senaite of the United States on the 19th dayv of
July, 1846 ?
inswer.-1 most certainly do.
9th. Do you recognize the right of Congress
to legishttre atnd make appropriations for the
improvemetnt of~ our rivers and harbors?
I do recognize rte right-greatly de'plore the
executive vetoes on this subject, and will use
every mteatns in my power for the passage of
bills for the improvement of the rivers and liar
bors.
10th. A re you itt favor of such a change in
our national latws, pertaining to the natur:'lizat
tie'n of tioreign citizens as will compel all of
the-i arriving in this country, after the passage
of sneh an act, to remain in this country at least
twe'nty-one years before being* entitled to the
rights oif suffrage as they now possess them,
aid will yotu use your vote and influence to ac
cimp ish eich change ?
~1This. your last interrogatory, I answer in the
affirtmat ive.
It was noon when I received your letter.
Visitors and frhnds have crowded rmy room
sinice I coemmenced writing, or I should have
written m're in detail. Your inquiries were
direct and to the point. Still I must regret
that I had not time to elaborate them more fully.
Very respectfully yours, &c.,'
SIMON CAMERON.

ltives.
Ax a imEtrzENT WEsTER.N REFUBLTe.-A
let ter.fre'm San Francisco artnou nces-what is
impiortanbt, if true-that an extensive secret
scheme is ad'vacing :here, to form a ntew repub
.ic, 4:onsistitng at first uif ten States, three to be
-caprised wihin the present limits oif the S-ate
of California, three in Oregon Territory, two in

basis is to be a confederated government, and
the P'resident, Cabinet, Senators atnd Represen
taives. are to be .chosen by the direct vote of
the people. Five of the States are to recognize
sivery. :and the Sandwich Islands are to be
g.urainied their independence. At least, so
says rue letter; but all its statements require
onfirmationa.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1855.
Read and take warning!
WE are now sending our accounts to all who are
indebted to us for subscription to the Advertiser,
residing out of the limits of this State, with the
earnest hope that all who may receive s. id notice
of their indebtedness, will remit the amount as soon
as possible.
W Those who do not comply with the nbcve
i-cquest by the first day of April next, will POSI
TIVELY be placed upon our " Black List," for
publication as a warning to other Publishers, and
their names immediately erased from our subscrip
tion books.
gV We are in earnest, gentlemen-send on
your dimes promptly and don't compel us to deal
harshly with you.
Terrific Fires.
Oua District has been visited, for the last week, by
most extensive and destructive conflagrations. Every
neighborhood has suffered, more or less. Houses,
fences, fodder-stacks, and, in some instances, sheep
and calves have been destroyed by the devastating
element. To enumerate the losses sustained would
fill a column. Neither would it be an agreeable task.
We therefore beg our readers to content themselves
with a bare statement, in general, of these alarming
visitations. The heaviest loss in the District is that
of our friends, Messrs. B. BETTs and B. H. MILLER,
which is estimated at some eight thousand dollars.
Our sympathies are with the sufferers, one and-all.
The calamity has come at a most inconvenient time
and may, we fear, materially affect the farming opera
tions of the present year. But believing firmly, as we
do, that it is "an ill wind which blows no good," we
trustft'lly hope that such may prove to be the case
with the wind of Friday, the 9th instant.
Lightning Condnetors.
TitosE of our citizens, who desire to protect their
houses. barns, &c., from lightning, would do well to
try OTIS' Inproved Patent Lightning Conductors. By
application to Mr. S. S. BoYcE, Agent, at this place,
they can procure these rods and all necessary fixtures,
and, what is more, have ti-em well put up, all at
moderate charges. These Conductors have been
placed over our Court House and Jail by the Com
missioners of Public Buildings. They are the best,
decidedly, yet invented.
Medical College Catalogtne.
WE are Indebted to Dr. Tuos. J. LirSCOMBE for a
copy of the " Catalogue of the Faculty and Students
of the Medical College of South Caronma." The total
number of students in attendance during the past win
ter was 194. Th- Faculty numbers nine Professors,
most of whon have high reputation. The graduates
fur Edgefield are Drs. L. i5. WEVER and T. J. Lir
SCOMBE.
Glenn Springs.
IT is doubtless a matter of general congratulation
in South Carolina that these admirable medicinal
Springs are to be again offered to the public as a
Watering Place. The House is to he kept by that
prince of landlords, JANNEY, and will be opened very
early in the coming season. We really hope the en
terprize will be libeially sustained by the people of
our State. We need a home resort of the kind, kept
on a scale of some munificence. The watersat Glenn
are unquestionably of high character, the place is
easily accessible to all parts of the State, the health
fulness of the immediate locality has hitherto proven
safe for visitors during the most sickly seasons, and it
is surrounded by a good provision country. With
JANNEY at the helm, we cannot see why a fine hotel
at Glenn's should fall short of complete success. And
afinc hotel is said to be the only kind of one JANNEY
ever kept or ever proposes to keep.

only within the last two years. it can already count a

The Home Journal.
Tuits is the best family paper without exception in
the United States. For the last two years we htave
been receivitng it as on indtvidual subscriher; or, per
hps we shouid say, to speak more correctly, that it
has been sent for that length of time to our " better
half." Often attd over again have we flhoated through
its columns, in our drezamy hours of leisure, revellitng
amid its rarities and varieties. It has not been upon
the exchange list of the Advertiser.--whay, we cannot
tell, unless it be that the proffer was never made on
eiter side. But this circumstance does not prevent
our giving real merit its just dute. And we hereby
recommend to our lady friends, and to outr literary
readers generally, the " Home Journal," of New
York, edited by MOIoaS & WILLIS, as the purest,
Ithe raciest, the most high-toned, end altogether, the
most charming literary weekly now extant on our side
of the Atlantic.
Southern Homse Gazette.
WE have received the first number of thie paper
NEW SaEs, under the editorial control of IMessrs.
I MYTHIE & RoAcs, Augu-ta, Ga. Our readers re
meaber the "Gazette" as it was in poor WHtYTE's
time. After his death it was changed into the "South

faction to a good many' subscribers. Mr. SaY-rnEz has
thought best to restore it to its originaal style. Mr.
S. offers to sell a half-interest in the " Ga:ette'-a
g~od opportunity for any young gentlemani who n ish
es to start out upon a catreer of literary speculations.
For one, we are glad to see this publication in its old
form. With the single exception that wye regard its
general appearance a titul tuo haeasvy and solid f'or a
mere literary weekly, the "Southern Home Ga:ette"
numbers us among its applauders and well-wishzers.

IB'ut there is scarcely a necessity faor dropping a word
of caution on this subject in Edgefield. If the party
numbers a Corporal's guard in the District, it excee ds
our estimate.
The Gardiner Frauad.
Tstts case, as the world knows, has gone out and
out against the GARDntNERs attd all concerned with
them. It is nlot known whether the Counsel, whose
pockets were so handsomely lined by the Defendants,
will turn out a clean inside on the occasion. The
Government, it in said, wit' make the cflfort to recover
the whole sum. Hard, if it is fair!
Only think of it:
A LA-rE Census of theo Town of Newberry shows
the population of that place to be nearly fourteen hun
dred, not conting Hslena, a shanty hamlet in the
neighborhood which numbers two hundred souls.
Again, the Town of Greenville, has gone on so far
in the way of progress, that her citizens are nwac
ally clamoring for a " Town Clock."

We have had time barly to glance atseveral of the

to he 9ne of unusual interest.
The appearance of the " Rcvicto" is evidently infe
rior to what it haa been. The reading matter is less
in amount and the material used not so substantial and
respectable-looking as formerly. The " Critical No
tices" too seem to be growing slim. We publish the
following card, by the Publisher, " To the Public."
" We were unable to issue this number at an earlier
period, in consequence of the destruction of our office
by the late fire in Columbia, S. C. The Books of the
concern are so much mutilated that we find it impos
sible to make out a full list of our subscribers, names
and places of residence. We therefore request those
of otr subscribers that have paid in advance, to give
notice to us in Charleston, S. C., if they do not receive
the January number in due time, in order that we may
promptly supply the omission. We shall no longer
send the Review to those indebted to us. Hereafter,
subscriptions tt the Southern Quarterly Review must
be paid in advance, or the work will not be sent.

The Know Nothing Humbug.
A late number of the Richmond (Va.) Enquirer
reveals the ritual and constitution of this new order
Prefatory to the publication of these documents, the
Enquirer discourses thus:
" To-day we present the people of Virginia with a
full and accurate explanation of the mystery of Know
nothingism. In its ritual and constitution, of %, hich
we give an exact and literal copy, not only
are the objects and princilles of the order dis
tinctly set forth, hut its cypher, formulas, signs, grips,
and oilher scccrt work are clearly and completely dis
closed. The mask is torn from Know-nothingism ; and
it is exposed to the indianation (of the country in all
the repulsive aspects of its vile anti hideous nature.
" N- doubt there are members df the orderwho will
attempt to hide themselves from the blasting gaxe of
the public, and to cover up their shatne and guilt
froin popular execration, by disputing the authentteity
of these docutnents. Bound by the obligation of the
most horrible oaths, and pricked only on by fear of
the most dreadful penalties, to deny and conceal even
the existence of the torder, its members will not hes
tate to resor* to every expedient of equivocation and
misrepresentation to break the force of these reve'a
tions. Butt Know-not hingism canriot evade this blow.
Ifany respectable person in the State questions the
aithenticity of these puhlications, we pledge ourselves
to establish their genuineness to his satisfaction. If
any Know-nolting charges that 'hey are a fahrication,
we will convict him o; falsehood before the country.
We throw out the defiance; let any Know-nothing
whso dares accept the challenge.
' It is possitle that in consequence of this discsure,
the grips and sigtns, may he the cypher too, of the
*der, have since heent changed ; but the essential na
ture and operations of the thing are not affected by a
chance of the svmhls-l of the or-ler. The secret is out
and cannot he iecalled. Know-nothingism is unveil
ed to ithe public gaze, and everybody may read and
understand Is mystery and its meaning."
MZaj. Perry, on the Patriarchs.
WE observe that the " Due West Telescope" has
taken laj. PERRY of the "Patriot" to task, fr speak
ing of the Patriarchs and Mormntits in thte same breath,
-or w% hiclh is pretty much one thirig tiith an editotr,
wricittg of them in the same sentence. The Major, it
seens, went so far as to brand Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, or some of their cu-tempor.tries and immediate
desc.endants, with the term "savage." Whereupon
the - Tclescopc" b-comes slightly savage upon the
Major. At the last accounts, the Major had notreplied
to the " Telescope's" strictures, which is of course an
admission that he "stands corrected."
Wont be Guarded.
TttE Pee Dec Times gives the result of a municipal
election recently held in Georgetown, in which the
only question was, whether the Town should be pro

Thc Sea-Wagon.
ONE BULTros,of New Jlersey, has invented what lie
calls a " Sea-Wagoin," and is about to take ohut a
patent for his handi-work. It is nothing more nor less
than a steam-ship, to be propelled onswheels or rollers,
which are to revolve on the water ins ead of under it.
These wheels are air-tight cylinders, the buoyancy of
whic' is to be effected by an air-pump. The myth
of old Neptune's chariot used to impress our childish
fatmcy withI astioishiment ande admiration. IEhe pic

god with the dashing accompaniments of his power'

hoped that wve shall " all take a ride."
The Thirty-third Congress.
"IlON" of the Baltimore Sun, now celebrated as the
first political letter writer of the day, uses the follow
ing cocmplimentary latnguage in regard to the Con
gress which has just gone ont:
"The present Congres', nciw soon to come tn the

The Peace Prospect.
PEarAPs it; is hardly correct to put " The Peace
Prospect" as a caption, when we mean to copy be
neath it an article declaring that " there is no peace."
But we follow the example of others, supposing that
they justify themselves on the principle of " lucus a
non lucendo." The following is from the Paris cor
respondent of the National Intelligenccr, who is said
to be a reliable news-monger:
Despatches from Berlin and Vienna inform us that
the Emperor of Russia, in view of the probable exi
gencies of the war, has just ordered " a general arm.
ing throughout the whole extent of his empire." This
does not rook much like an expectation on his part
that peace will grow out of the late and coming con
ferences at Vienna. In fact nobody now looks for
this; and the date of the opening the conferences, and
eve , the opening of them at all. is considered as more
than problematical. The interpretation of the
third point is understood to be the great stuimblng
block which neither of the parties belligerent and ne
gotiatin can get past in order to meet the other upon
acceptable terms. Carthago de.enda eat is the irrevo
cable sentence pronounced by the allies against the
Russian stronghold in the Black Sea, Sebas!opol.
French writers pretend to believe and strive to per
suade Austria that the levy en masse said to have
been just ordered by the Czar can only e intended
for I e invasion of Germany, and Prussia is inconti
nently advised to rush forthwith into the arms of the
allies.
The immense preparations of the allies for the ap
proach ing campaign seem to me n the contrary, to
be altogether of a nature to justi the bringing up.to
the contest of all the resources that his vast empire
can place at his disposition. The allies continue, it
seems, to be knocking at the doors of all the petty
dukes in Europe for their co-alliance and contingents
against the Czar. In addition to the second and third
rate States mentioned in my last, Tuscany and even
Parma and Modena, are now enumerated as likely to
join this Holy Alliance as it is represented to be. I
shall probably in my next have to inform you that the
Republic of San Marino, and the ex-sovereign of
Monacoi, and perhaps his Majesty Soulouque of St.
Domingo, have been called on for their contingents.
" Every little helps" is evidently the motto upon
which the Western powers are proceeding. It must
be gratifying as well as amusing to the Czar to see
the importunity of the allies, with regard to th- small
powers, in order to make the campaign of 1855 more
successful than that of 1854.
Notice this, you Rascal.
WE happen to know who are the, fnal recepients
of our tutkies, which were stolen from, or rather lost

Russian Roads.
IT will not do to say that Russia is behir.d the other
enlightened nationsof the earth in everything. How
ever horrible the despotic sway of the Czars may appear
at a distance, it is certainly redeemed in many in
stan:es by works of singular usefulness. The effici
ency, too, of the means exerted to carry out these
works is attributable entirely to the essential nature
of an absolute despotism. Where a Representative
Guvernmer t would wrangle and disagree for years on
any great scheme for the public weal, the despot has
but to issue his mandate and the thing is decided.
This one man power appears to be exercised by the
present Czar in a manner worthy of the civilization
of the age. We have been impressed with this fact
in regarding the magnificent scal of improvements
adopted by him for the promotion of Railroads and Pub
lic Highways. We instance his grand Railway from
St. Petersburg to Moscow, which is thus alluded to
and commented upon by an American of high intelli
gence:
" I have with others, admired the progress made in
velocit- on railroads up to even one hundred miles an
hour on straight rails, which has been done in Eng
land. But I enterta n views of railroad veloeir y far
beyond Any yet ventured to he expressed. The Em
peror of Russia has taken the first great step towards
aiat I deem the ultimatum of railroad travel.
" Instead of cutting a narrow alley through the
country, or going around everything in the way of a
straight line-he has cut a broad way five hundred
miles, from St. Petersburg to Moscow-lie has made
it all the way two hundredfeet wide, so that the engi
neer sees everyt hing that comes on the road !
" Such is part uif the future; the railroad from point
to point a mathemaical line; the rails ten times stron
er than any now used; the locomotives on wheels of
far greater diameter, say twelve or fifteen feet; the
guage of a relative breadth; the signals arid times
perfectly settled ; the road, walled on both sirdes, du
ring thre transit of trains having the gates of the walls
nil closed. Then, instead 'if onejzundred miles an
hour! we shall more sar fely travel ice hundred miles
an hour!
Again. we ap~pend a brief account, given by a trav
eller of the " Roads to Cronstad t,"a series of works
conceived in the true spirit of liublic benefaction:
" The Russian Government has this year hadt con
strutcied in thre Gulf of Finland berween St. Pe ters
burg and Consrtdt, a w de cause way, bordered on
each side at every t wenty paces with young firs cut
in ste neigh' oringr forests, and fixed in ice and snrow
so as to form an even'ne. Every 1100 yards are also
fixed pousts. rouighly Fsquared arid painted in the nation
rat colors. with little flags on their tnps. Every mile
and a quarter there arc huts made of wnodt planking,
where good fire:, a-e kept up for the use of travellers.
To light up te r at night above these huts are
powerful reflectors which project the light a considera
ble distance, and a bell which in foggy weather is
rung w ithtout ceasing, to indicate the route to sucan as
have strayed.
"Half-way along the road there is also an enor
mous batrrac k of wood planiking, which serves as an
irnn, and whter -. there is tea, coflee, brandy, bread,
meat, beer arid fire.'-in fact, every hing nece.-sary
for warming and refreshing the body. Immense sta
bles, well furnished with forage and corn, are attach
ed to this establishment, where there are horses for
t ire to supply the place of stich as the frost may have
killed. A similar road hans been established between
Peterhoff, Grienbaum, and Cronstadi.

Tu following interlocutory specimen is what a re

day at eleven o'clock A. 3., the 33d Congress ad'
journed. Be not alarmed, Christian reader! This is

THE LAST OUTRAGE AT SAN JUAN.
WASHINGTON, March 7.
The party of Americans who were arrested
at Greytown by the people on the San Juan
River, were not fillibusters, ns the correspondent
of the New York Times hints, but American
citizens engaged in a lawful and peaceable en.
terprise. The commander of the party, Julius
de Brisset, Esq., is well known in New York
and New Orleans as the late commander of the
Mail Steamship Company's steamer El Dorado.
Captain De Brisset was bound to Ecuador,
being largely interested in the Gallipagos pro
ject, and selcted the Costa Rica route as the
shortest imid best.
His riends were gentlemen who were desi
rons of travelling in that country, with an eye
to a future location there. It is rumored that
Fabens, our Consul to San Juan, who is in the
city, has brought on depositions sworn to by
the most respectably people in that neighbor
hood, fully corroboating these statements.
We also know that Col. Kinney and Mr Fab
ens have conferred together upon the state of
affairs on the Miusquito coast, and that no ob
stacle exists there to an immediate pursuance
of the Kinney enterprise, and the expedition is
now a fixed fact and will start now that the
road is clear.
