Democratic Coanty Convention,
The Democracy of Cambria county are re
quested to meet in their several, election dis
tricts, on Saturday Vte 29ft day cf June, in
&zu, for the purpose of -selecting delegates
to represent said districts in a. Democratic
County Convention to be held at the Court
House in Ebensburg, on.Monday the 1st day
cf June next, to nominate ' a Democratic
County Ticket. y GEO:C.K. ZAUM,

Democratic County Convention.
The Democracy of Cambria county are
called upon to assemble in their respective
townships, wards and boroughs, on Sat
urday pext, to choose two delegates to the
nominatincr Convention,' to be held on the
Monday following, at the Court House in
Ebensburg for the purpose of placing be
fore the 'people a county ticket ; ";
-The aiies.iccuxabent on the people
ehould be carefully discharged, The demo
cratic organization is older than the cen
tury in wliich we live. It marshalled its
forces in the political field wben its oppo
nents first attempted to tyrannize over the
people by the alien and sedition laws of
the elder Adams. From that period until
Korthem fanaticism and Southern folly
plunged us into civil war, her men and
her measures conducted the country steadi
ly 'and. peacefully to her present proud
position; and if the blessings of our gov
ernment are to be banded down to posteri
ty, it must be done by the success of the
Democratic party. ; .
1 The reason of the long successful career
oHhe Democratic party may be found in
the fact that, while its principles com-
mendad themselves to the. intelligence of
the people, its supporters always mani
fested a proper interest in its success.
Democrats had realized the importance of
the maxim of their great apostle, J efferson,
that "Eternal vigilance is the price of
Ubcrty,-.and thus felt themselves
Klirrat inna in ntfprxl tn their rh
obligations to attend to their pinifjj
meetings, and see that candidates who are
honest and capable are , placed before the
people. V: . . : '1 . " '
On the present occasion we can only
'say that it is the duty of all citizens who
believe that the best interests of the coun
try will be promoted by the success of
democratic men and democratic measures,
to attend the primary elections, assert their
preference honestly ' and fearlessly, vote
for those delegate who wilt enforce their
sentiments, and trust the rest to the nomi
nating Convention."
- i We know it is the; practice of some
democrats to fold their arms and take no
part until after the nominations are made,
and then criticise the conduct of others,
and charge unfairness upon the Conven
tion, v This is. all wrong. y Now. i3T the
time to speak, and if the people do speak
in their majesty, a Convention, so consti
tuted, wilf give the Democracy a ticket
which will incrcaso tho Democratic ma
jority of the county over that of any pre
ceding year; ' ' j . '"
A JUMSIii: OF IDEAS.
The Johnstown Tribune, a fair paper
'generally, takes a singular view of "the
Jeffi Davis difficulty. It insists that the
radical Underwood is right in discharging
Davis now, but that the conservative John
son should have hung him long ago. ' We
think the Tribune is radically wrong. ji
' The Republican Supremo Court have
decided that it would bo murder to hang
JefH Davis by martial law ; and permit
ting the radicab to murder Mrs. Surratt
(vide Butler) is perhaps as much of fiuit
kind of law as President Johnson want3.
To have executed Jeff. Davis at any
time, without a trial and conviction under
the Constitution and laws, no matter how
deep his treason, would have been rnur
'Czr. The President could have pardoned
Jeff. Davis at any time", but he had no
power to hang him. lie did not pardon
himi. . Judge Underwood might have tried
liim, but he discha

This indiv idual was arraigned and tried
for the ofTence of rape at June Sessions,
and . acquitted. . A verdict ...of not guilty
usually ends a case, but it seems he is to
be tried over again in the newspapers.
vv The ' AUeghanian appears to think that
Ilayes ought to have been convicted of
something, but teems to forget that he was
only tried for rape, and could not be con
victed of anything else. And no legal
mind that heard the case tried, however
much his sympathies may have been with
the unfortunate girl, could for'a moment
have, believed - that the -offence -charged
iri" the indictment "was ; made,' out. iJTor
was the evidence of adultery any stronger
than that of rape." The testimony of ;tho
girl, if believed, was sufficient to . convict
of either, but neither courts nor jurors,
,who were sworn to do justice, could convict
under all the circumstances. . ' '?
The assertion that "the prisoner's coun
sel did not offer . to deny" that he was
guilty of adultery, is entirely false. They
denied the probability of the prosecutrix
statement throughout and if Mr. Hutchin
son had been in the Court Houso when
the case was tried, he. Would have not
done them the injustice to say so. No
doubt he believed he was telling tho truth,
but he got hi3 reports from some one who
either knew or cared little for the truth.
. We agree "that good character is no an
swer to clearly proven crime, but where
the story is improbable and contradictory
-only sworn to by a single witness, under
circumstances of great doubt -it ought to
have the same . influence with a jury as
any other fact.
We agree with the Alleghxnian that the
fact of Mr. Hayes being a radical preacher
was a suspicious circumstance, . but i we
don't think that this fact alone ehould be
sufficient to convicfriiim of rape.

Having glanced at' the' Executive and
Judicial departments of the Government
it might be proper to dwell upon the
"third estate," as it has been termed
the Congress of the United States. This
branch has facetiously been called a 'grave,

deliberative body, but you would be puz
its deliberations amount to little but do
liberate folly. Its labors are very great,
for in addition to its general and ordinary
duties, it undertakes to "run the rnachirie"
for the Executive and Judicial depart
ments' also. I propose giving you a sketch
of a few of its members, and shall com
mence with the late and present members
from your district. ""
. HON.' A. A. BARKER. . .' : '
Mr. Barker is entirely a self-made man
and made very large at that. He re
moved to .your county about 1854, and
since that time has been very actively en
gaged in shook making," lumbering, and
in merchandising' generally. V From his
advent there until the present time his
business transactions have been unusually
prosperous ; and whild prospering himself,
he has greatly enhanced the prosperity of
those with whom he bad business relations.
Indeed, very many of t your citizens in the
northern portion of Cambria county regard
him as a public benefactor,.; ..
Mr. Barker, I need scarcely add,' is a
politician, extremely radical in hi3 views,
but honest in his convictions. In the for
mer division of parties into Democrat and
Whig, he eschewed both of these organiza
tions, and connected himself '.with .what
were known as the Abolitionists proper,
or the Liberty party, then insignificant in
point of numbers, but which, under the
name of Republican, has since swallowed
up the Whig party. ... .y ;
tit. B was a candidate for the Con
gressionai nomination in iisoz, Dut was
defeated by lion. S. S. Blair, who . was
nominated, but defeated by McAllister.
He again presented himself in 1864, and
though opposed by nearly all the leading
poiuicians in ine . uisirici, succecaea m
making the nomination : and was elected
j the array vote. As a member Mr.
Barker, though extreme in his views, gave
the strictest attention to the local interests
of his district, Especially were . the in
terests cf the soldiers, their parents, wid
ows, and families cared for by .Mr. B. ,
whose industry in their behalf knew no
limits..-: . " ; - v .: " -; , ? ' .. ;
Mr. : Barker was, a candidate for 're
nomination, but wa3 defeated by :Mr.
Morrell, the present incumbent, after 'a
sevsre contest in the primary proceedings.
In person Mr, Barker u literally an able
man over six feet in hciIit, and of .a
robust and povverrul formation. His per
sonal strength, where physical force is re
quired, is a. subject of remark among those
who have seen it tried. IIi3 personal
reputation is without blemish, and he re
fers, not without pride, to the strictness
of h"i3 temperance principles, beirfg ons of
the very, few who nver, at any time in
his life, indulged in the use cf intoxicating

the successor of Mr. Barker, is; like him,
a native of the State of Maine, so that the
radical machine for your district i3 now
run Mainelj by that State. r Mr. Mon-cll's
Congressional experience is short,- and his
future success as a politician cannot be
conjectured. - He lifted himself into "some
notice by a finance measure, introduced by
him, possessing some, plausible features,
but philosopher Greeley "gobbled" it up,
and it became "a thing of the past."
Mr. Morrell, as a politician, is a man
of more moderate views than his predeces
sor. .: Before his election he wa3 a Fenian
