Address J. A. Cooper, Edinboro, Erie Co., Pa. The Campajgx. The political meetings held throughout the northern part of the county last week were, for the most part, complete successes, although the weather was most unpropitious for such gatherings, and it could not have been expected that people would turn out in any great numbers, however much they might have desired to listen to the discussion of the important is sues involved in the present campaign. The present week, so far, has been ex tremely favorable for out-ooor meetings, and the gatherings have improved in numbers accordingly. The meeting at Hemlock, on Monday afternoon and evening, we are in formed, was one of the largest and most en thusiastic which has ever assembled in Washington township. It was addressed bv Messrs. Linton. Rose. Scanlan. Oatman. Shoemaker- and Tierney, and was in all re spects a glorious success. Two splendid hickory poles were raised without the least accident or mibbap, and the unterrified De mocracy of ever faithful Washington have expressed their determination to pot up an other one after the Radicals have raised the one they propose to erect on Monday next. They are bound to "tee them and go two Letter." At Wilmore, on Tuesday evening, another g'orious rally was held, and the utmost good reeling and a firm determination to work for the great and important cause for which all Democrats should be laboring was manifest ed by every participant. The speakers on the occasion were Meesrs. Oatman, Shoema ker, Johnston and Sechler. of this place, and splendid music was furnished by the cele brated Newry silver cornet band, and every thing passed off gloriously. No districts in the county will give better accounts of them pelves than Wilmore and Summerhill on elec tion day. Outside our own county the good work in progressing nobly, and nowhere have the democracy entered into the contest with a letter will than in the neighboring county of Indiana. On Saturday latt a hickory pole 150 feet long abovo ground, was sue-' ces-sfullv raised at Strongstown, and the largest meeting ever witnessed in that re gion assembled on the occasion. Excellept speeches were delivered by Messrs. Thomp son and Clark of Indiana, and were received with the most unbounded enthusiasm. The editor of the Freeman was expected to be jprejent and address this meeting, but other .appointments prevented. The election of jon. Foster to Congress in place of Gvode 3ias been determined upon by the Democracy of his district, and Indiana county is Lound to do hrr part in furtherance of that com roendable object. With such energetic men ai Thomns C;sswell, Esq., of Strongstown, t work in that Radical ttronghold,'much may be expected of the Democracy of Indi ana, and hence wo look for an unprecedented reduction in the Radical maj rity there at the coming election. Brief Mention. The articles in the lasl A'deghanian and Hoilidaysburg Register will probably receive attention, if deemed wor thy, when the editor again repots for duty. See the great Zingara Bitters advertise ment in ano'her oolumn. Two valuable cows were killed by a freight pusher, near Wilmore, on Monday morning. Mr. Pat'k Conwell, of Derry township, Westmoreland county, bad both legs broken, jc Thursday week, in consequence of a heavy piece of timber falling cpon them from a barn he was helping to raise. One leg had to be ampu tated. The Democratic Mass Convention at Greensburg, on Tuesday next, it is confi lntly expected, will -equal if not exceed in numbers any like demonstration ever held in Western Pennsylvania. Hons. Geo. II. Ten Ueton, Richard Vaux, Wm. F. Johnston, J. B. Jeup. Edgar Cowan and II. D. Foster are the speakers announced. Hon. A.

Union, was struck on the head by a backing grave! train, a few days ago, and seriously injured. We were shown two potatoes, the product of one stalk, grown in the lot of Mr. J hn Dongherty, of this place, which together weighed thirty ounces. A phea sant alighted on a dead tree in front of Mrs. Hutchinson's residence, in this place, on Tuesday evening last, and remained there fully fifteen minutes, or until frightened away by a stone thrown at it. Considering that the pheasant is an untameable bird, this iit is a somewhat singular one. Wm. F.lder, whi'.e engaged in making some repairs at the hoisting machine of the Ilolli daysburg Farnace, on Saturday la6t, was accidentally precipitated down the machine, a distance of fifty-five feet, and so seriously injured that be died on the following morn ing.

We learn that a young man named Jones was shot in the face, and slightly injured, on Thursday last, by Nicholas Nagle, constable of Carroll town ship. Mr. Nagle had a warrant for the ar rest of young Jones, who was charged with assault and battery and using threatening language, and was attempting to capture him, but Jones refused to be taken and start ed to run. The officer called on him to halt, and fired a shot in the air to intimidate bim, but Jones still paid no attention to the sl m inons. Nagle then Informed him that he would certainly shoot bim if he did not give himself up, but Jones continued his flight, whereupon the officer fired a second shot, ?bicb entered Jones cheek and passed out jnear tha mouth, causing a slight but painful flesh woQnd, -. v Hu.iiors Exercises Closed The Tri duum, or three days' devotion; which was commenced, m the Catholic Church here on Sunday morning last, closed at nine o'clock this (Wednesday ) morning. The exercises throughout were of a most solemn and im pressive character, and the members of the congregation generally availed themselves of the opportunity afforded for approachlne the sacraments and participating in the other exercises peculiar to this time of grace. The resident pastor was aided by Revs. Brown, of Loretto, Crjstoph, of Carrolltown, Mc Govern, of Bellefonte. and Farrcn, of Ty rone, and several fine sermons were preached during the progress of the exercises. A Vehehablk Servant. A correspond ent of the New York Tablet, writing from Elizabeth, N. J, under date of Sept. !5th, 1868. speaks thus of the venerable Father Lemke. a priest well known and greatly be loved among his co-religionists on the Alle- ghenies, as indeed he was by all classes with whom he came in contact : About six yearg ago we Elizabethans became aware of a notable looking stranger pacing quietly through our streets. The children called him Santa Clans, because be had a long white beard, and the older people thought he had stepped out of some painting oi the olden times, some St. Peter or oi. Jerome. One of our most valued citizens. 6ince then happily a Catholic, was one day induced by curiosity, for he had not the slightest interest in our religion, to step into the "little barn of a church," where, nuraen ed with his predecessor's debts, the Rev. Father Henry Lemke had been so recently placed; "and there I saw," said he, "the dress that was worn eighteen hundred years ago ; I heard a language that was spoken eigkteen hundred years ago, the same principles that were given to the world eighteen hundred years ago, and saw a priest officiating who looked as if he might have lived and preach ed all that time." Besides all this the sick soon becan to know him. both as priest and physician, and the most bigoted Protestants and let me assure jou we have that delec table article in all its glory here honor him, and speak of him now, "as the priest who works miracles." So he does, for he cures the sick when all others have despaired of them, and more miraculous still, has lived on hermit's fare and quietly freed his people from this debt, brought down some Benedic tine nuns, who have won all our hearts, built them first a small house, and now has just completed a large Convent for them, where in about two weeks they will receive board ers and day scholars, and if they make gen tle, earnest, unaffected women, after their own pattern, they will be a blessing to the country. Now for the first time since it is no longer for himself, but for others Father Henry throws open his doors and permits the public to come and help, which means there is u fair going on in the school house at the corner of Spring and Magnolia streets, which will close on September 12tb, I be lieve. We have had one week of rain. Won't the good people in . Elizabeth who read youi paper, and they are not a few. give us one week, or half a week, of that other kind of shower we like so much? Let them recall that Father Henry has asked nothing of them before ; that he has suffer ed innumerable piivations, that he has labor ed with the old fashioned missionary spirit among us, and we all know has walked many a weary milo in rain, and mud, and dark and cold, far beyond the limits of his pamb, to attend to our sick. The Irish have grateful hearts, we are told, and are in capable of envy. Let them prove it and j- in hands with the Germans in helping Father Henry now. There will como a day God grattt it is far off when the venerable old priest, with his inevitable cane, and his constant little companions, whom we. see capering around him, his pet dogs, will no more bring romance into our prosaic streets. Let us lay up for ourselves the comfort of remembering we have given him one great pleasure. And now is the time. S. M. B." If thf.be is any thing an honest farmer likes it is plain dealing. It is hi own way of doing things, and he will never do bu incss if be knows it, with any one who is even disposed to take advantage of him. When he is dealing in corn and wheat, he isn't afraid of any man getting ahead of him. but when he goes to town to buy things with which he is less famililar, then he wants first of all an honest man to deal with. All visitors to Oak Hall, are struck with the "Instructions to Salesmen" posted on the wall, and signed by the proprietors Wana makei & Brown. This is one, item : No misstatement shall ever be made about the material, quality, value. Jit or in ANY particular as to the character of an article offered for sale.

Its contents, as usual, are rich and varied. "First time at Church," a rarely excellent steel engraving, is its frontispiece, while the Refreshing Drink," is an exceedingly fine picture of its kind. The fashion plates are unusually elaborate, and upon the whole, this uuraber compares favorably with any of its predecessors. Ballou's Monthly MagaEine for October contains a number of excellent papers. We commend this magazine to our readers as furnishing a large amount of valuable read ing, for a very moderate price. Multcm ix Parvo is Latin for "much in little." but the expiession is applicable in only one sense to the fine establishment of C. T. Roberts, which has the "mnch" much ly, but nothing "little" in the store, stock, proprietor, or aught else, save the many useful little things kept there and the little price asked for all articles offered for sale. If yoa want "little" or "much" in his line, Cham is the man to buy from. A Constant Stream. Almost every day brings something new to the extensive store of J.

The proprietor is all the time in the city, and when his eye rests on any style of goods which would be likely to please the tastes of his customers he buys and forwards it. So his stock is always complete and always cheap. . Widespread. The reputationof Mayer's fancy dry goods and millinery establishment, in Parke's new building. Johnstown, is every day becoming more widespread among the Indies of Cambria county, and few think of buying a large bill of goods anywhere else. An immense and splendid assortment is at all times offered very cheap for cash at this popular emporium. But thr Best.

Mister Editor The election 's comin close up, and I want yon tew beseech all the -loil" tew be at the poles. . oome oi uur iei lers here think that we abolishunists can carry Cambria county. Sez I, "Yer mite as well try tew carry this county literally as piUilicallj, but if we hold all our camp meet ins we can skeer all the democrats out to the eleckshun, which will be doin' a good thing." Th- clerk of the "Inner circle," who rites all the kongresshunal speeches, congratula ted me heartily. Sez he, "Nasby, you are a pointed writer, and if we don't carry this county it's not your fault." Sez he, "I wrote a hul book of poetry, and there's not as many idees in it ali as there is in your little notis of Gov. Geary." This tickled my vanity, and sez I, "I can make speeches tew." As soon as the "niggers" and "diggers" heard this they all hollered simultaneously at once for "Nasby! Nasby!" till the wigwam rung with applaws. -Then I riz and sed, "Fellow Diggers and Niggers You don't understand the policy of the party you belong tew. I've belonged tew the party for forty years, and my father belonged. tew it for forty years before that." Sez 1, "We might be called the 'Never-mean-what we-say' party. We hollers peace when we mean var. We al ways preach one thing and practice another. This we have done for a hundred years. Bosting used to be the center of the slave trade, and all Eastern men who are now rich got their money by selling slaves. Our Pil grim Fathers took ships tew Africa, stole Diggers and filled their ships with them, and then fetched them here and Bold them tew Southern planters who were just boginnin' tew raise cotton. I have seed gangs of nig gers, bound two by two, goin Sooth, a quar ter nv a mile long, drove by Bostonians and other saints of Massachusetts, till Congress passed a law against tradin' in slaves, and then they sold their ships, abolished the slave traffick, got religion, and began tew preach that slavery was a crime. Beccher, and Greeley, and Sumner, are now livin' on the money that their forefathers made by stealin' and seilin' niggers. Then was 'the times that tried men's souls.' Bymby we got cot ton manufactories built, and when we want ed cotton the South made us pay a good price fur it, so the Lord put it into our minds to get possesshun nv the cotton lands our selves. But we couldn't do this without preachin' abolishun. Then the war com menced, and it was us commenced it. We got to sendin' xnseiulary pamphlets and schule masters and marms down South to preach treason and Higher Law. We got underground railroads to Canada, to run nig ger slaves away on the same niggers we sold a year or two before and we got such fellows as Passmore WiilFamson for conduc tors. We stole sixty thousand niggers in one year. Then we got up 'Emigrant Aid Societies and sent insendary men to Kan sas with Bibles in one hand ai.d Sharp's ri fles in the other, crying 'Peace! Peaca!!' when there was no peace, just as we are doin' now. Lincoln sed thete was nobody hurt,' when Chandler was sayin' 'there must be a little blood lettin'.' We got John Brown to take Harper's Ferry with spears and prunin' hooks, and we called it peace. In Congress we called the Southern members liars.thieves, chivalry, cut-throats, and called it peace. Thus vrcjit on, callin' for peace and makin' war, till we got a war the bloodiest war on record all for peace. Thousands of sjI diers bled and died to satiate the ambishun uv a few Dantons, and Robcspicrres, and Marats, in the North, who wanted the South ern people spoons, pianos and cotton. Now the war 's over, but we are tryiu' to get up another, and, to deceive the people, we mast cry peace ! always preachin one thing and praciisin' another. We cried 'Union !' when we was dissolvin' the Union, and we cry 'Peace! when we mean war. Do you sun- pose all this stir of lamps and Grant whiskey means peace 1 No, it means war, 'and, I repeat it, let it comet Better that we all die for the Union than that the Union dies for us!" (Cheers.) Sez I, "We got up all kinds of 'cock and bull stories' about nigger wenches Lein' stuck in hoi lor trees, and roasted with fire till the trees busted and the to.r wenches flew away into a pine grove and traveled seventy-five miles on a rail fence, over a swamp, till they came onto a neighborin' town, and was taken in for the purpose of carryin' the eleckshun by appeal io' to sympathy ; but while we are preachin' this we are practising cruelty ourselves onto the poor white trash deown South. This is our policy. We must preach one thing and practise another till we carry the eleckshun, if it can be carried. Them's our principles, and uf any man's got any konshunce he can't belong tew our party." When I sat down the Fourth Lieutenant moved to censure "Na.-by" by a vote of thanks, which was done by tremenjus cheerin'. This was on Saturday evenin just before we started for Wilmore. We then lit our tin lamps and started for Wilmore town, 6ingin' John Brown. Some feller sed we looked for all the world like a string of lightnin' bugs, and when our coat-tails would fly up a phospho rescent light was emitted, just like that wich coaiea off uv decayin' vegetable matter. This might have been true. Well, we went to Wilmore town and held a meetin' for the bones and sinews of Sum merhill township, the same immortal three hundred, or all that was sober enuff. "Into the jaws of death went the three hundred." Well, goin' up along, we was talkin' about the war that's comin'. Sez I, "We must preach peace at Wilmore, but war 's a good thing. . It kills off the bad boys and purifies society, and Lord knows ef the hul creashuo is as bad as our tanner's society it needs pu rificashun." When we got out uv the ac commodashun car, which accommodated us for one hundred dollars, paid in advance, Mr. Miller, from the committee on ways and means, presented us with a punkin, which, he said, was emblematical of our growth. That punkin, he sed, had growed since Grant was nominated, and so did our fcociety. The Fifth Lieutenant was goin to receive the punkin, when Mr. Boggs rose to a point of order. He said he didn't think it was proper for one punkin to receive another, and left it for the head centre tew decide. Sez I, "Mr. Boggs is right as tew the punkin, but it would be no violation of the rule for a squash to receive a pnnkin, and I suggest Mr. Boggs himself as a fit personage to re ceive it. This gentleman then arose and said, "My friends, I can't do justice to this subject till the punkin is cooked." This made the boys laff trcmenjusly. We then had some Grant whiskey, a "nigger" 6ong and a "digger" dance, all tew once, the dig gers goin' round in a circle and singin' ugh! ugh ! ugh! every step they took, while the niggers sung, " 'Possum up a gum stump cooaey in the holle.,, . . Yours, in the wool, ; Nasby, Jr. : Not a Beite, which is take notis When we was at Wilmore town there was no one to speak but Mr. Hunt, and he couldn't talk, so the meetin' was of short jurashun, and we scattered round and done purty much as we pleased. We did not respect private rights nor private property. Our boss tells us to take all the whiskey we can get, and to go into any house we please and abuse men, wimraen and children. Tanners may get drunk, and swear, and blaspheme, and go tew church tho next Sunday and nothin' iid. We are the "devil's pets," and don't do tew others as we would have them do tew us. Twenty nv us tried tew lick three cop perheads, but we couldn't do it till we got a re info: cement of twenty more. That made us brave and manly, and forty nv us licked three fellers tremenjusly. Then we broke into a whiskey shop and all got drank, every one of us, and came home figbtin' and hoi lerin' all the way. Our boss said it was all right to invade private property, stab and whip folks, and get drunk about eleckshun times. He says it will skeer the copperheads from the poles. A few more secb meetins as that uv Wilmore town ought to make us otes among the "God and Morrellity" par ty. N. Johnstown, Sept. 28, 18G8. Dear Freeman The excitement incident to the near approach of the election is grow ing intense. Both parties are straining every nerve in view of the close contest for Con gress in this district. The Republicans are spending considerable money and using every other influence to carry the district. Meet ings are being held every night in the week at some point or other, and the clap-trap and gaudy displays of tanners, wearing caps and capes and bearing flaming torches, is being made use of to sugar-coat the radical pill, which otherwise would be too nauseous for the stomachs cf the "dear people" whose votes are so important to keep in power and place the cormorants who have grown fat upon the misfortunes and miseries of our common country. On the other hand, the Democrats are working hopefully and ear nestly, for they know that upon the result of the election in this State depends in a great measure the future welfare of this once united, prosperous and happy people. Let every Democrat in the county, theu, go to work and do his duty manfully, and in Oc tober little Cambria will roll up such a ma jority for Colonel Linton and the whole tic ket as will carry Terror and consternation in to the radical ranks and inspire with renew ed zeal and hope the heart of every true Union man in the country. Herman Schroder, Esq.. of New York, an able and eloquent German speaker, address ed the Democracy of this place, in the Club room on Clinton street, on Friday night last. His speech elicited frequent applause, and, considering the inclemency of the weather and the short notice given, was listened to by a large concourse of Democrats. On the following evening the regular week ly meeting of the Club was held, at which there was a very large attendance. Mr. N. Uorne was the first speaker on this occasion, and his address, which was delivered In his usual forcible and convincing style, was loudly applauded. Capt. II. D. Wodruff followed in a few encouraging remarks rela tive to the progress of the campaign in North ern Cambria, from which section he had just returned, after which the meeting adjourned with three cheers for the speakers and three more for the entire Democratic ticket. Preparations are in progress for an im meuse Democratic meeting on the Public Square in this place, on Wednesday evening next, and it is expected that a large turn out of Democratic and Conservative citizens will assemble at the time and place indicated, notwithstanding the fact that no , brilliant display of flaming lamps nor other childish device will be made use of to attract them. Hon. Charles A. Eldridge. of Wisconsin, one of the most eloquent of the many eloquent orators now laboring in benalf of the Dem ocratic cause, and other eminent speakers, will address this meeting. S.'J. Meany, Esq., of New York, the cel brated Irish orator, will address the people of Johnstown, on Thursday evening, Oct. 1. Mr. Meany has the reputation of being one of the most eloquent orators in this country. A grand mass meeting of the Democracy is on the tapis for Saturday, Oct. 10th, af ternooD and evening. It is to be held on the Public Square, and will be addressed by Gen, Richard Coulter, ("Fighting Dick,") of Westmoreland county, and othci speakers not yet announcod.

Charles Fink, Joseph Sharp, Henry Glitch, Charies Moses, Edward Fronheiser and Wes ley Cover, sons of some of the most respect able'parents in this community, left on Tues day last to attend the Lutheran College at Gettysburg, where, I believe, they intend to study for the ministry. May the blessings of a benificent Providence attend them in their efftrts. Mr. John Brady, proprietor of the Frank lin House, has returned to his homo after a sojourn of several months' duration in his his native Green Isle.
