If you owe us, reader, and we fear j'ou do. remember that the coming session of Court will affi rd you the opportunity to pay up. In another column will be found the letter of George II. Pendleton accepting the nomi nation as the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor of Ohio. Like everything coming from the pen or lips of Mr. Pendleton, it is an able, straight forward and manly document, and will command general approval. The concluding sentence, coming from such a source, is peculiarly significant : "Of the re sult in October we need have no fears." The radicals in Tennessee have abandoned all expectation of defeating Andrew John son's election to the United States Senate. The following Washington despatch of a very recent date, to the New York Tribune, would seem to render the election of the 'great impeached" a forgone conclusion : "Private advices from Tennessee, received hereto-day, give rise to the belief that ex Pres ident Johnson's prospects for election to the United States Senate are increasing. It id well-known that his most formidable opponent up to this time has been lion. Bailie Peyton, who has now withdrawn from the contest, and is a warm supporter of Air. Johnson. In referring to the fact that Gov. Geary acted in 1860 as census taker in two or three townships in Westmoreland county, the Har ri8turg Patriot of Saturday last does what we conceive to be an act of injustice to Jas. G. Campbell, Esq., the then acting Marshal of the Western District of Pennsylvania, when it says that he refused to appoint any but avowed friends of Breckinridge. The editor of this paper was appointed census taker for the southern district of this county by Mr. Campbell, and he was not only an earnest, though humble, advocate of the election of Stephen A. Douglas, but at least one of the prominent friends who aided him in obtaining tho appointment must have been known to Mr. Campbell himself as a faithful worker in the cffjrt to elect the "Little Giant." If credit is due Mr. Camp bell for this act, it should not be withheld from him. and we deem it onr duty to bear tes timony to the facts as we have stated them. W e invite the attention of our readers to an article in this week's issue from the Ge nius of Liberty, published in Uniontown, Fayette county, on the subject of John W. Geary and the soldiers of the Mexican war. A meeting of precisely the same character was held in the Court House in this place about the same time, and resolutions quite as strong as those of the Uniontown meeting were adopted. We have been unable to pro cure a file of the paper which was published here at that time, but many of the citizens of this place have a lively recollection of the meeting and of the proceedings attending it. Geary having gone from this county to Mex ico, as the captain of a company of Cambria county volunteers, and having subsequently become Colonel of the Second Pennsylvania Regiment, the indignation manifested against him by the volunteers from Cambria, on their return home, was reearded at the time as especially damaging to his military as well as to his personal reputation. We never heard the slightest denial v the truth of the grave and serious allegations which were then publicly made against him by those who served under him, and who may fairly be presumed to have best known his Mexi can career. Forney Rebuked, No radical newspaper in the State has been so presistent io its efforts to depreciate the professional reputation of Cyrus L. Per shing, Esq., as the Philadelphia Press The false and villainous attacks upon Mr. Pershing, which daily disgrace its pages, usually find a prominent place in the col umns of the Johnstown Tribune. We per ceive, with pleasure, that while the editor of the Alleahanian. the Republican organ of - this portion of the county, defends the principles and policy of his party with zeal and ability, he will neither dishonor himself nor prostitute his paper by aiding the Press and the Tribune in their disreputable at temDts. to belittle Mr. Pershins, or to g , . filch from him bis fair name and reputation The editor of the AUeghanian has known Mr. Tershing's reputation as a lawyer for years, and in the last number of his paper bears the following just and honorable tes timony to the high character of that "County Squire" : We observe with pain that the Philadelphia Press and a host of imitators are busily en gaged day by day and week by week in the dirty work of attempting to blacken the per sonal and professional character of Hon. O. L. Pershing, . the Democrat! 3 nominee for Su preme Judge. "County Squire," "Perabiu aiid not Perishing," "a lawyer of no learning and no ability," "a country loot" -these are some of the epithets thrown at Mr. Pershing. We thought the day for this species of polUi. eal warfare was gone. Mr. Pershing is a man of undoubted ability as a lawyer, has made a murk hi"h upon tho reeoro as a politician, ana id withal a Christian gentleman We believe our organs will do infinitely better service for our party oy auacK Pershing's poli ti ll r. Pershing as an indi- ci pnnoipics va vfvmfp vidiul. Itleadc and Packer. On Thursday, 19th, inst., a complimentary banquet was given to the Farmers' Club of Philadelphia by Asa Packer, at the Mansion House in Mauch Chunk, in which place Mr. Packer resides. The Carbon Democrat gave a graphic account of the interesting occasion, and from that account the following is ex tracted : "Ammig the distinguished guests present were George W. Child, of the Philadelphia Ledger, Gen. Robert Patterson. S. W. Cuurell, l W PttPiann. James Patterson. Gen. Geo. G. Meade. S. V. Merrick, W. II. Drayton, H. Ooppee, F. A. Comley. William H Gatzmer, Robert E. Patterson, Chnrles Hartshorn and John W. Gillingham. Alter doing ample jus tice to the various viands, the geuial flow of feeling drifted into toasts and speeches. Gen. Koben Patterson led off in quite an eloquent and earnest tribute to Pennsylvania and l ber gifted son who commanded our armies at Get tysburg, winding up with a toast to Gen. Geo. G. Meade. In a few words General Meade re sponded, thanking Genet a 1 Patterson for his words of commendation, and at the same time in very chaste and happy style returning the compliment to the hero of three wars. Gen. Meade then proposed the lollowing, which was received with much enthusiasm : 'Our host, Hon. Asa Packer may his suc cess in the pa' he eclipsed by his successes in the future.'" Here is a plain, unmistakeable endorse ment of Asa Packer's character by a most prominent and distinguished Union General. Not only that, but General Meade expresses the wish that Judge Packer's success in the past may be eclipsed by his successes in the future. Whereupon let all the organs of John W. Geary denounce Meade as a traitor and as one who is willing to sacrifice the glorious results of the war. Can such things be and not excite our special wonder? Surely not. Therefore let Gen. Meade be proclaimed a copperhead and a disloyal man. The very thought of the hero of Gettysburg breaking bread at the same table w itb Asa Packer is certainly too much for radical nerves, and demands at the hands of the "God and morality" party a pointed and emphatic rebuke. This is the same Asa Packer who has been described by the editor of the Johnstown Tribune as a Breckinridge democrat as having oppoeed the war, and with having, while in Europe, consorted for two whole years with rebels. There would seem to be a slight difference of opinion on these questions between the editor of the Tribune and Gen. Meade. It is an old adage, however, that oreat men will sometimes differ. Morton and Pendleton. Because George II. Fendleton is in favor of paying the 6 20 bonds in greenbacks, how manv thousand times has he not been de nounced by the radical press as the open ad vocate of repudiation 1 Ex-Gov. O. P Morton, of Indiana, is the leader of the radicals in the United States Senate, and is the ablest member of his par ty in that body." John Covode, having failed to induce Attorney General Brewster to re sign, in order to "heal existing dissensions; has prevailed on Senator Morton to visit Pittsburgh during the present week and ad dress a redical meeting, for the purpose of nrnnninff ur the failins political fortunes of 1 ri o i John W. Geary. This same Senator Morton made a speech on fiuancial questions in the Senate, on the 6th day of July, 1868, from which we take the following extract : "Mr. President : The Question as to whether the 5-20'a are Davable onlv in coin, or may be paid in leRal-te ider notes, has been brought nrominentlv into this debate. The Chairman of the Committee of Finance (John .-'Hr.RMAJi), who has had much to do with the financial af fairs of this country for 6ix or seven years past, insifts that the Government has a right to pay the 5 20' in existing leeal tenders. "Mr. President, I believe the law and it is to the law we must look in regrd to this ques tion after all is with the Senator from Ohio on this question. When it is asserted that Gov ernment is bound to redeem the 5-20s in coin, I ay it is not only without law, but is m x rarss violation or at least four statutes The law authorizing the 10 4Js declares that principal and interest shall be psil in coin. The several laws creating the 5-20's declare that the interest shall be paid In coin, but are silent as to the principal of the debt, and do not say in what kind of money the principal shall be paid. This silence is very significant." If this is not the doctrine of George II. Pendleton in all its length and breadth, we would like to know to what else it can be compared. It is as much like it as one egg is like another. For utteriug just such sen timents, Pendleton has been unceasingly abused and misrepresented by every radical sheet and every radical stump orator in Pennsylvania, and yet Gov. Morton, who ad vocates precisely the same doctrine, is 6ent for to deliver a political speech to the radi cals of Pittsburgh. With the 6atte political consistency they might have sent for George FT. Pendleton 10 address the bondholders of that intensely radical stronghold. What a contemptible opinion of the radical leaders must the holders of 6-20 bonds in Pittsburgh entertain, after they have ascertained, if they do not already know it, that Scnator'Morton has always stood squarely on the Pendleton platform. Geakt. in his wanderings through the Etstern States, arrived at Concord, N. H on the 25th of August. In response to a speech of welcome from the Mayor of the city, the "second Washington" delivered the following luminous reply : Mr. Mayor : It affords me great pleasure to visit the Granite State aud its capital. It is the first time I have ever been able to be, I be lieve, within its borders, and I regret I cannot make a longer stay among its btautiiul moun tains. Here is a speech as is a speech, in which a President seems to be in doubt as to whether or not he had ever before been in New Hamp shire. During the early history of Illinois a candidate for the Territorial legislature was called upon to address a meeting of his political friends, lie modestly declined up on the ground of his well known want of ability to do so, but proposed a compromise by magnanimously agreeing to hold any man's hat who would undertake the job. We commend that man's example to Grant the next time he is called on to make a speech.

THE REPUBLICAN CONTENTION, AS OUH OWN BFP0BTEB SAW IT. Editor 'Freeman The Cnmbria Couuty Republican Convention met in tho Court House, Ebenfburg, on Tuesday of last week. The reason it did not meet on Monday, which has heretofore been tho day, was owing to the fact that the Pa. R. R. schedule would have required the Johnstown delegation to take the train at 5 o'clock, a.m., and lie over at Cresson about three hours; whereas on Tuesday they could start at 8 o'clock and make close connection with the Ebensburg train at Cresson. . And here let me remaiK that as the aforesaid delegates belong to the Gotl and morality" party, and as Cresson abounds with ten pin, billiard and otner sa loons, they could not bear the idea of wait ing three mortal hours at mat immoral re sort. . . . There must have been fully thirty dele gates present, varying m comp.exion irom the milk and water, the mnoiy conservative and the slightly bronzed to the blackest of black republicans. The Uonvention was called to order by Alex. Kennedy, of Johns town, the then Chairman of the Co. Com mittee, who delivered the following address to the Convention : G entlem em As was once remarked by Cato . the elder, there is nothing like leather. But that was long, long go, berore raiiroaas ana steamboats were thought of. My private opin ion is there is nothing like lumber and shooks, and therefore 1 move that Hon. A. A. Barker, ot Ebensburg, lormerly a Congressman, but more recently a member or the htate Central Committee.act as Chairman of this Convention. Which was of course agreed to amid much enthusiasm. - . i 1 Cyrus Elder, of Johnstown, wno writes poetrv. and C. T. Roberts, 01 x.oensourg. who don't or can't read mucn 01 it, were ap pointed Secretaries. Hon. A. A. Barker, after being conducted to the chair with considerable pomp, spoke as follows ; Mes asp Breathkixg I am much obliged to you for the honor you have conferred on me in choosing me to preside over your delibera tions. I am the oldest "republican present, and ever since I come from "deown to Maine I have fit drefful hard for the republican party, and I shall coniinue to do so until I die! Won't l.D.O.t Of course I will! And, gen tlemen of the Convention, if I do say it myself who hadn't orter to say it. I think you have not only done me but yourselves honor in se lecting me as Chairman. The Convention is now ready for business and the country is in danger. Gentlemen of the Convention, when I uv this crest republic is in dancer 1 mt&n that the Cuban war still continues, and conse quently the demand for "shook" grows smaller by degrees and beautifully less every aay, ana 1 also mean that the "wuisKy ring' continues in increase aud multiply at an alarming ratio, This convention is tbe'first temperance con vention we hire ever had in Cambria county. Therefore, centlemen. as Rome was saved by the cackling of eeee. mav we not hope that like causes will produce like results on this mo mentous occasion? This Convention is now rcadv for business. It any body has any mo tion to make let bim make it, or forever here after hold hii peace. God save the Common wealth and this honorable assemblage. Mr. Campbell of Johnstown I move that we proceed with haste, and yet with digni ty, to nominate a candidate tor ltegister ana Recorder. . Mr. Elder of Johnstown (formerly of Som erset) Is that motion amendable, and 11 so. how much 7 Chairman I think so ; that is, I guess so ; that is. I should judge so ; that is. yes if vou will take one pint of gibger pop.; , Mr. Elder Thauk vou. I don't drink; but I now move that Tbo6. McKernan, of Johns town, be recognized by this convention as the workinemen's candidate for Register and Recorder, and that we pledge him our sup port at the October election. . C. T. Roberts of Ebeusburg Mr. Chair man, I object to the poetical pressure in fa vor of Mr. McKernan, or "any other man." I rise to a uoint of order, and that is that " poetry is out of place in this convention. Chairman I don't see the point, but as you have raised it -it must be all right. don't like poetry myself, and decide it out of order, ... Mr. Roberts Then, sir, I move to lay Mr Elder's motion, Mr. Elder's pcetry, and, for that matter, Mr. Elder himself, ou the table. Which was agreed to unanimously. D. O. Evans of Ebensburg I nominate Samuel W. Davis, of Ebensburg, for Regis ter and Recorder. I had a speech written out ou the subiect. but as my worthy col league, Mr. Barker, has been unexpectedly chosen chairman, he borrowed it to read as his inaugural. Geo. Huntley, of Ebensburg, seconded the nomination in a very chaste speech, dilating at some length on washing machines, use ful for cleansing dirty (political as well as personal) linen. patent locks and cheese knives. Mr. Evans I move the nominations now close. - Mr. nuntley I second the motion. Mr. Davis was then almost unanimously nominated." - Mr. Porto-rico of Suxquehanna township Mr. B , I mean Mr. Chairman, I move that yes I do that Chairman Mr Porto-rico is out of order that is, I guess so. Mr. F. 1 am not. out of order. : 1 never was in better order ( Query did he mean for a fight? in my life. I now nomi nate Chairman I now nominate yon into your seat, and want you to stay there. Mr. P. I won't do it. I nomi Cries of "Put him out !" "Kick him out !" "Give him some ginger pop !" Mr. P. I defy any man to put me out I'll not drink any ginger pop. so I won't I stand upon the immutable principles of justice, life, uoerty and the pursuit of well yes, I do ; 1 11 be darned if I don't. - The obstreperous delegate was here seized by about one dozen of lobbyist?, who pro ceeded to eject him from the convention, he yelling all the while, "You can't put me out!" "Ill vote the whole democratic tic ket!" "I won't drink ginger pop !" "Shook won't take in Cuba!" "Ill fight it out on this line!" The republican convention, chair man and all. can go to and be darned to them !" After quiet had been restored the chair man arose with calm dignity and said : "God save the country ! this is drefful business.' To which D. O. E. responded : Amen so be it!" At this juncture your reporter was called out on important business, and did not get back until the convention had adjourned. St;ll he has something more to say on the subject, and you will bear from him soon again. Sly Coos. Time brings its sweet revenges. After four years of terrible war in which the gallant Colonel Forney did not see fit to participate; and four more years of recon struction, he has bad revenge at last on big rebel enemies.

In due time I hope to be so far re covered as to be able to take part in the great debate. Governor Hays in his speech at Wilming ton, forgot to allude to the Fifteenth Amend ment and his views on that important ques tion. In discussing the finances, he stid, "We are in the midst of a profound peace, yet money is scarce and business is depressed. Ho might have added that employment is difficult to obtain ; that labor is badly re warded : that industrial pursuits are all hampered; that enterprising men engaged in business are standing on the very verge of bankruptcy that interest is enormously hi2h that the tariff is most oppressive that the internal taxation is most unequal. unjust and ODerous that dead capital io ex empted, and active capital and labor are weighed down and then warming with the picture, be might have also said that for eight years the Republican party had been in absolute possession of the Government : that a Republican Secretary of the Treasury has now control of the money market of the ccuctry, and that he uses his power only still further to contract the currency; to in crease the ''hard times," and to buy over due bonds at one hundred and twenty dollars, which by law he is entitled to buy at par, thereby taking twenty dollars for every hundred from the tax- payer and giV' ing it to the bondholder.

H. Pendleton Fatal Accident. On Tuesday morning last. Mrs. McQuade, wife of James Mc- Quade, of Snyder township, met with a ter rible accident which resulted in her death the same evening. The particulars, so far as we have received them from a reliable source, are as follows : Mr. McQuade, about a week ago, left hone to attend to some bu siness in rittsburg, intending to remain a few days. On Monday evening, Mrs. Mc Quade beard a sound resembling Borne one falling, but failed to ascertain the cause.- On Tuesday morning the sound was repeated in such a manner as to alarm her. Fearing that it was a token indicative of some acci dent having happened to her husband, she became alarmed and saddled a horse to ride to Tyrone, about two miles and a half, to ascertain whether anything had occurred. Havinrf proceeded some distance the horse friebtencd and threw her. She then walk ed the balance of the distance. While at Tyrone she was standing on the main track and stepped off on a siding to allow the lo cal freight to pass and while standing on the siding, was knocked down by a freight train being shifted, five or six cars running over ber, crushing both legs about the knees in "a horrible manner. A messenger was despatched to this city to ascertain whether Mr. McQuade had arrived here, and met him, he having returned on the Cincinnati Express at 6:45 p. m. Both left here on the Cincinnati, and Mr. McQuade reached Tyrono just as Lis wife was dying. The de ceased was an estimable lady and her death and the circumstances surrounding it, have caused a general gloom in the entire comma ty.Blair County Radica.

Geary procured bis election oy a mere plurality of votes by FALKUUUU and DtUEr'riU.N. wmione wan prummug w give Company H the privilege of electing their own officers, according to the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, he, the said Geary, bargained with other for votes, promising and giving appointment in said Company H to men from other companies who might anBwer his peculiar purposes. The law of Congress of the 13th of Maj, 1846, calling for volunteers for the war with Mexico, has this provision : Srr. 5. And be it further enacted, that the said Volunteers so offering their services shall be accepted by the President, In companies, batallions, equadrons and regiments, whose of ficers Bhall be appointed in tne manner pre scribed bv law in the several States and Terri tories to" which such companies, batallions, squadrons and regiments shall respectfully belong. The said Geary, while he availed himself of this law to get himself into a high office. refused the same right to Company U. which legally and properly belonged to them. Therefore, Resolved. That we, the remaining mem bers of the Fayette County Volunteers, view the conduct of the said John w. ueary to wards Company U as an OUTRAGE upon their just rights, as secured to them by the aws of Pennsylvania as well as the laws oi Congress. The whole course and conduct of the said Geary being INCONSISTENT with THE CHARACTER OF A GENTLEMAN OR MAN OF HONOR it was treating us as a set of men who did not know their rights, and who could net appreciate them it was UUKUUt'T and filtLliCJKi n all its bearings, characteristic of a L.UV AND GROVELING CREATURE, hunting and seeking popularity for courage and pa triotism THAT UK JMEVfcU KAUJNfcLr, Dy bargaining with supple tools and mercen aries, one of whom at least was a notorious blackleg.

(issued by diiection of Governor Shunk.) directing him to fill all vacancies iu the 2nd R-giment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, by election tak ing advantage of his STOLEN authority to cover up his WORSE and BASE MOTIVES, and to injure the hard earned fame of a brave and gal'ant flicer. On motion of Peter A. Johns, it was Resolved, That all the barm we. wish Colonel Geary, is, THAT HIS DISGRACE MAY FOLLOW HIM THRO' ALL THE LANES and AVENUES OF LIFE. AND THAT HE MAY NEVER DIE OR GET OLD. John W. Geary is now the candidate of the Republican party for Governor of Penn sylvania. Read the foregoiDg proceedings carefully, and eay whether he is a proper person to fill that high office, and whether he is entitled to your support. Remember, at the time the above proceedings were adopted. Col. Geary was acting with the Democratic party, and the Fayette county Volunteers were nearly all Democrats, kc that the 6aid proceedings are entirely ' free from any charge of having been instigated through political motives.

There is a proposition in Cincinnati to consolidate the Catholic and the Public schools, which has met the approbation of Rev. Edward Purcell. who represents the Catholic authority.

It is said that prior to h is departure Toney was offered a position by Judge Advocate General Holt, but refused to accept. The Philadelphia Ledger attributes the unusual healtbfulness of that city the pres ent season to the abundance and cheapness of fruits of all kinds. It says that some days recently good peaches were as low as twen ty to thirty cents per basket, and five and six cents per half peck. The city has not been so well supplied with fruits and vege tables for many years. Melons sell at one-, third of the price of last year. In Washington county, Alabama, a few evenings since, Miss Hill, a niece of the ex-rebel General A. P. Hill, of Virginia, was accidentally shot dead by her brother-in-law, Mr. G. W. Skinner. .
