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. M'Al-
lister has sent the Williamsburg Vindicator
an ear of corn measuring 13 inches, upon
which there was 14 rows of corn, averaging
58 grains to the row, ajd making in all 814

Lewistown, have purchased the Clarksburg
W. V.a.) Conservative. The relict of the
late lamented" isiot in London? but in Al
toona, a cable dispatch to the contrary not
withstanding. Mrs. McKin3tree, of Mt.
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. An unoccupied frame house In the
Second Ward, AUoona, was destroyed by
Cre, on Tuesday night week. Supposed in
cendiarism. Messrs. Row & Co. have re
tired from the Scott House, Jobnstow, and
been succeeded by Mr. Huston, of Latrobe.
SnOoTixo Affair. 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.

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. The utmost fairness, can
dor, honesty and truUifulness, shall be exer
cised in every transaction. No overpraising,
puffing vp, or anything bordering upon de
ctption, shall be practiced, in the sale f goods.
Literary. Godey's Lady's Book for Oc
tober has been on our table for several days.
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. Patton Thompson, next door to
Ebensburg Bank. 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. When a man buys a
snit of clothing he ought to bny where he
can get the best at the lowest price, and we
are sure that no dealer in the trade offers
greater inducements to purchasers than do
E. Leopold k Bro., Main street, Johnstown.
The clothing they sell is made of perfect
material,' in perfect style; and sold right for
cash. 2t.

Gone East. Our down-the-street mer
chant friend, Mr. R. R. Davis, is now in the
East purchasing his Fall' stock, and there is
no doubt he will buy the right goods at the
right prices, and sell them right when he
gets them here.; So don't buy your fall out
fits until you see what he brings. "
: Hats ' akd Caps.- Our - friends of the
masculine persuasion will find embraced in
the really magnificent stock of goods just
brought to this market by V. S. Barker, a
full line of hats and caps of tha latest styles
and of all sizes and textures. Get your

"WRITTEN BY PBTROLECM V. HAS BY, JR.
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

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. An immense oufp ur
ing of the true friends of the Union is antici
pated. .
Six young men of this place, namely.
Charles Fink, Joseph Sharp, Henry Glitch,

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

It is said that the Radical Council of this
borough has refunded the nmount of the fine
and costs imposed by our County Court upon
police officer McDowell for his unwarranted
assault upon a qu?et and inoffensive farmer,
named Weaver, in this place some months

candidate for Congress voted in Council for
this iniquitous squandering cf the people's
money.. Is not this offering a prt mium for
