(•'en. Bowman:
Dear Sir;—l notice in your valuable paper ol
la*t week a kind olTei to defend tn- trio- and reliable
Democrats of Cambria county in their honest con
victions ol" duty, consequently I take the liberty ol
enclosing to you the follow ing copy of a notice which
was handed to the "Echo" of this place for publica
tion, but which has been considered unworthy a
place in its columns.
For the Echo.
T notice that my name is used as on" of the ol'icers .
oi a certain meeting held in Froribeiser's Hall on the
tfGth ihst. and as I do not approve of said meeting
you will oblige me by inserting this in your paper.
' JAMES 11. MITCHELL.
January 31, IS-'.;.
Cy The above Card speaks for it-ell", and will
shew to the people that the meetings got up in Cam
bria and Westmoreland, to sustain the recreant j
members liom these counties, do riot express the
sentiments of the democratic party. Men are made
cdicers of their contemptible meetings without
then knowledge and against their consent, and,
when they desire to have the matter corrected, then
communications are denied a place in the columns ol '
papers heretofore recognized a* the exponents of ho
nest principles. This substantiates the facts set
forth in the letter we published m reference to the
meeting referred to by .Mr. Mitchell, in which itwa
pjsitively declared that the resolutions published n
the "Echo" as having been were voted tiowr.
by a decisive majority ; and that, too, in a meeting
expressly packed for the purpose of sustaining Air.
i-orith in the perpetration of a gross wrong upon the
party which elected liirn. l'y some wonderful
l.leans all the papers in Westmorland and Cumbria
-peak as with one voice on this subject. The aboli
tion Presses are in rxtacy with the "independence'"
manifested by the Traitors in what they term their
'•rebuke of the President elect."' and lire Democra
tic Press rc-echo the sentiment with all possible joy '
The honest Democrats, therefore, being destitute o.
an organ at home through winch to de. lare their
real sentiments, will have to Take the bold stand as
sumed by their brethren at Summitville, and teach
1 ise renegades a lesson such as will deter other men
Ironi following in their footsteps! The Democrats
of Cambria cannot stand upon the same Platform !
occupied by the K. N. Abolitionists. Dick White,
<l. Nelson, Michael Dan, Fer.lon, and Johnson may,
but Democrats from principle cannot—no, NEVER! i
The GreeusJiurg Farce!
CJ*A billions apology for a Democratic meeting I
was held in the town oi' Green-burg on the evening
of the lGth inst. for the purpose of uy; fur ling a lit
tle faction elected as Democrats for violating one of
the dearest usages of the party to which they pro
fessed attachment. They did not eulogize the creii- ;
•nres who voted for Cameron direct, but their criti- j
ism upon their conduct is of a very equivocal cha
racter, almost amounting to justification! The
proceedings look little—are little—u. iact the most
sickly effort to sustain a rotten cause that we have
ever seen put upon record. The rs.-oliitions express
nothing—mean less—areas flat as dish-water—and
a burlesque even upon those they attempt to sustain
and justify. The result of tins motley meeting must
-atisfy every intelligent man that the mass oi the
Democracy of Westmoreland repudiate the conduct
of their representatives, as well as that of the papers
they have heretofore looked to for an hone.-t and
fair defence of their principles, and we think the
time is not distant when they will follow the digni
* i
lied example set them by the noble hearted Demo
cracy of Jefferson. The paper heretofore recogniz
ed in that county as the democratic organ undertook
to justify the apostates, w hen the party met in mass
meeting and unanimously repudiated the y;per as
well as the hol'ers. One of the Greensburg resolu
tions avers that the Reading (.1 rz<lf and the Hunt
ingdon Globe have not said one word i:i delegation of
the course pursued by Foster and in- friends. Now.
it we are not greatly mistaken, or.e of the friends of
Mr. 1 oster in the Legislature cut a grant splurge in
reviewing an article .n the Reading Gazette on the I
subject of these disorganizes, alleging "that it cou
pled them with Manear, Wagon-tiler and Leho ! —j
We tlo not exchange with the Huntingdon Giuhe. If!
it has said nothing against the conduct of the recre
ants, it has failed to perform a plain duty, and is a
nother evidence of the humiliating fact that too ma
i . men have control of democratic papers who!
look upon every species of political gambling with a
favorable eye.
Alex. AlcKinney, the man who voted clone in the
Democratic Statu Convention against the re-uoniina
tion of Gov. Bigler was found at the tail-end of this
pitiable larce, a lit position i'or his genius.
C "We publish on the page a neat little I'oem

Democrats of Bedford county, you achieved a
noble and an honest triumph la-t fail, defeating all '
the factions and fag end of factions, arrayed against j
.is. Don't lose what you then gained by inattention j
or lukewarmitess at the Spring Election which will ;
soon he upon you. This is a good and auspicious j
time to organize for the great contest of next fall, j
Meet and perfect your organization. Let no demo- I
crat consider this election too small a matter to com- j
mand his attention, but let every man do his whole i
duty in the selection of Borough and Township olii- j
i cers. Throw aside that policy which has heretofore j
induced democrats to place their most bitter enemies j
in office, thus giving them power to exert an influ
ence again-t us they could not otherwise exercise.
If our opponents, the Abolitionists, bring out candi
dates to appeal to our SYMPATHIES, let us tell
; them that we will bestow charity in any other way
| than by a sacrifice of our cherished principles. Look
at men who have thus been elevated lor years, and
who move about from morning till night ;n sowing
the seeds of opposition to the Democracy, and you"
! can then see how erroneous it is for Democrats to
vote for foes, and especially when they now unluri
the incendiary Flag, "ANY THING to heat the par
ty that lias given to the country all the greatness
and pro-perity we now enjoy a- a people. Give mo
j ney to real purposes of charity, but never prostitute
your VOTES in this way.

House for taking and employing money to carry the
most startling Bills for plundering the Government

CLySince the great "BUZZARD FEAST" at Har- j
risburg, any thing in the ranks of the amalgamated |

■ opposition is considered good enough for Governor i
o. Pennsylvania! Even Fr. JORDAN, the man who i
; solemnly declared, in an official paper, that he could
not "vole for Cameron without viola'ing hi-oath,
| throwing away his self-respect, and disgracing his
I State"—who played off the mean and contemptible
fraud upon hi- own party of pretending to be for Fil
more at the very time that he had pledged himself j
in a letter to Gibbous to go ior Freeaiont—even he 1
has -uccceded in getting some toady to write a com- !
munication recommending hirn tor Governor, with-!
ihe fact staring him in the face, and well known to
the public, that he could not get the delegates in a j
single county in the Commonwealth. In tfi.s Sena
torial district he would be disgracefully deleated,
were he a candidate ior any office to be vot
, eil for by the freemen who inhabit these counties. '
Feeling how deeply he ha- sunk himself even in the

Sopor! ci the fnoHaittef of Corruption.
E i truor Unary Effort of Black Republicans
lo Screen the Purl its Implicated!!!
The 1 louse of Representatives was thrown
into extraordinary excitement yesterday hv the
announcement of Mr. Davis, of Maryland, that
the special committee on c irigressional corrup
tion was ready to make their report. At the !
very threshold ol the proceeding, and even be
fore the report was read, Air. Bennett, of New
. V >rk, objected to its reception, ami entered up- :
on a labored and excited course of argument <i
gairist the proceedings and action of the com
; mittee. It was surprising that he should un
dertake to induce the house to refuse the recep-
I lion of a report before the House had heard it
read: vet such was Ids anxiety to screen his i
political friends whose conduct is implicated, ;
that he labored zealously, but very indiscreetly, I
to prevent even the reading of the report. He ;
was sustained in his strangely impolitic opposi
tion to the reception of the repott by Mr. Grow, !
who arraigned the special committee with acri- ;
! monious imputations, and manifested a degree
j of ardor and sensitiveness which indicated ex
, treme solicitude for the fate of his black-republi
can friends implicated. Those two gentlemen
spoke as if they were fully apprized ot the char- i
, acter of the report, and as if they had prepared i
: themselves with deliberation, if not with con- !
j cert, to shield themselves against (he trial to
: which the committee proposed to subject them. :
j Looking upon Messrs. Bennett and Grow a-; the j
' leaders in this proceeding, the impression made i
. upon our mind was, that the republicans in the ;
House had determined to screen the implicated
parties at ail hazards and at every step of the
; proceedings. It will be seen hereafter whether i
i these gentlemen were not the representatives I
j and exponents oi their party in the House.
When the investigation was instituted, we ;
applauded the members of all parties for their
! promptness in determining to relieve the House
from the foul suspicions cast upon Ihe entire
j body, hut it never occurred to ns that so extra
| ordinal v an attempt would ever he made to sup
f pre- 1 : suits of the i:iv .tigat: u so ordered.
We did not daubt thai lite investigation would
remove ai! suspicion from the democrats of the .
House, and we are gratified that our anticipa
tions in this respect have been fully realized. It ;
was to he hoped, and we did earnestly hope,
that the result would prove that the whole
charge of corruption was a hae and baseless
caluinnv on the House, and eacTi member of it.
The Speaker discharged his duty nobly in
the selection of the committee, and the whole
conntrv accorded to the Gentlemen selected the ;
highest qualifications for their duties. Tlwy
have labored assiduously, night and day, in ex
cution of their commission, and when limy
came forward to announce the result of their
labors thev were net hv the extraordinary op
position and censure to which we have referred.
Without waiting to hear the report or the proof,
but upon the mere knowledge ti at the conduct
of four republicans were implicated, two ol tb-ir
prominent political friends undertake to make
an issue with tlm committee, and to cast dis
credit upon their conclusions. In this matter
tlie party z<-ai of those gentlemen ran tar ahead
of'their di-cri tion. They have involved the re
publican partv in an issue which will scatter
its forces into fragments. No party organiza
tion can stand before the country upon the
grounds on which Messrs. Hennett and Grow
undertake to screen the parties charged by the
report of the committee.
The reports were finally received and ordered
to be printed. Four members are charged with
conduct which induced the committee to re
commend their immediate expulsion viz:
Messrs. Gilbert, Matleson, and Edwards, ot
New York, and Mr. Welch, of Connecticut —
all being* members of the Republican party- —
The resolutions proposed bv the committee will
lie found in the proceedings, and they show the
conduct of each member dunged on which the
lecornniendation of expulsion is based. The
subject is postponed wnti! Wednesday next, at
which time it will lie s-en whether the repub
lican party will add another plank to their plat
form by identifying itself with the cause c>| the
members involved in the grave charges speci
fied in the repoit and the r>solutions.

Qitr city was the scene, yesterday, of a sud
. den and terrible catastrophe, by which, in addi
i li'n to tlie destruction of much property, three !
i persons lost their lives, one < f whom was one :
' i.f the oldest and most respectable farmers ol
St. Louis county. M -t ol our citizens are ac
quainted with a block of two story houses on
j Chesnilt str-et, jnst tieJcrw Fourth, ill one of
which was formerly the rioted barbershop and
Maths of the (' la morgans. About two o'clock
! yesterday afternoon, the whole block fell in si
j mtiltaneous'y, without a premonition of any
! Kind. !n the various establishments in the first
story were the proprietors, (heir employees, and
in some instances their customers. In the up
per rooms were lodgers, and persons having
offices there. In all there wefp twenty-five or
thirty persons in the three buildings that fell,
only two of whom were killed. Tbe third was
Major Wrn. Gardner a wealthy farmer of this
county, aged -about seventy-three years, who
was passing through the alley by the south side
of the building when n fell.
Two bodies only were exhumed, both of!
whom were discovered to have perished by the ;
tire. Their faces were hurried off, so that re
cognition was impossible. They wer- both !
German tailors, and one of them is supposed to j
have been John Jordan. The name of lim oilier !
one could not be ascertained. Reside these,
there were several persons badly hurt. Mr.
Theodore Papin, who was in tile barber shop
getting shaved, received a severe wound on the
bead, as did also the colored barber, named
Bnrch, who was shaving him. Another person,
whose name c mid not b*learned, was so badly
hurt tha r he will probably die. He was. taken

Disaster on I'r■ Chicago and Rock Island ti
ll,—Jl Train Plunged into the Rivet.
The Missouri. Hcpvbl+eun, ot the 10th, con*-
tains the fdlowing particulars ola disaster,
which has been bruily anh muted by Tele
graph :
The recent heavy rain?, washing away em- i
bankments, occasioning slides, un.iermi ;iiigli"s.
and sweeping away bridges, ha ve been tin-cans
delays, and much hard swearing, ot failures to
make connections, and d tenti-iis ol the minis, j
and a general deiang.■merit ol.the lail and lilies
in Illinois and Missouri. If this wet" all we
should he glad. On the Chicago and Rock Is
land Road, as it crosses tile De Page nv.T, five
miles from Juliet, the heavy rains ol Friday had
swollen the river till i! owiflowed its bunks,
coveted tin- bottom and subim rged the track on
both siiles ol ttie bridge.
A freight train, consisting of the locomotive,
tender a'nd seven cars loaded with horses, ap
proached this river on Saturday. The engi
neer, ignorant cf auv obstruction, and confident
in the. firmness arid safety of the road, though
covered with water, field on his way, plough- !
irig through a streeni two feet deep guided by
the iron track, until he reached the bridge,
when the appalling fact was revealed that the
swollen river had not only submerged the
! bridge, but swept it away! Locomotive, ten
der, seven cars with their (might ol horses, one
al t"r another, disappeared beneath the surface of
i tfie stream, deep enough, by reason of the tiesh

Brooklyn, wtlere we understand he acquired j
some money in tfoe manufacture of milk t r trm
Brooklyn and .Ww York markets—in which
calling some of his family are now engaged.—
Mis reputation was that of an *asv, everv-dav, •
hanl-vvot king sort of a man, tail >aid to have {
been too easy as to the moral trait ing of bis |
family. Emma Augusta Hempstead, in h-r ;
youth, was rem.likable chiefly for a v.. il devel

powers of fascination. She drew within Iter
coils Alt. George D. Ctiiininghant, w ho finally,
some years ago, abandone.t his legal spouse,

himsell with Miss Hempstead. Air. Cunning
ham was a large, robust man, and a fast liver, a j
tree (honker, ami "a good fellow generally,"
among his particular associates. Euiv in his
career lie was engaged as a distiller on Water
