First Meeting of the Campaign.
The Democracy Fully Aroused.
Largeand Enthusiastic Outpouring!
Able and Eloquent Spoeolio.
SENATOR TT A LL A C?s" It EM A RK S ENTIRE.
A large ond enthusiastic meeting of the
Democracy of Cambtia county was be!J in
the Court House on last Monday evening.
The entire success of the meeting is conclu
sive proof that the -frosty sons of thunder"
of Dsrr.ocratic Cambria are fully alive to-the
vast importance of the approaching Ptate
and county election, slnd that they wUl per
form their full aud entire duty. The meet
ing wasorganized by calling Jons TI. DoUO
lass, Es-q., of Oaifield townthip. to the
Chair, eKcting a Vice President from each
election district in the county, and choosin
P. J Litti.k. &q.. of Allegheny township,
and four other gentlemen as Secretaries.
The meeting was then addressed ia a very
aWe and eloquent manner by Hon. Wm. A.
Wallace, our candidate for Slate Senator,
a full report of whose temarks wo append
below, and earnestly commend to the care
ful perusal of our readers. The former -war
horse" of the Democracy of Cambria. Dr.

shall ever tetray the trust i.i ct:fiJence these
things evince. You and be j-)p!e of Clear
field have many intrrctts in common; many of
the streams that find their source here, traverse
in greater s'rength the county oi my home,
and in their nnr.uil frebl.tts bear to market
the products of your forests and of ours. Side
by side the sturdy lumbermen of both navigate
their crafts with skill among the natural im
pediments and the artificial obstructions that a
mistaken State pollicy has a'.ljwid to remain
and has peimitted to accumulate and render
h.tzardoiis the conduct of a business, the annu
al value wlu reol f:ir exceeds the much boasted
iron wealth of the State: the sloyts of the Alle
ghenie and their foothills, both in your county
and In ours, teem with burled wealth, and
hundreds of busy miners grapple with rugged
nature in the recesses ot the uiino, exposed to
dagger and ti.l Jeath. In the pursuit of their labo
rious calling, this cl-ss of your people and ol
mirs suffer common deprivations, ensure com
mon dangers and eke out a like precarious ex
istence. The raw material bedded beneath the
surface is valueless without their aid; and an
enlightened public policy, as well as the inter
ests ol the employer, demand that the business
shall be foettred nnd those who conduct it be
protected frotn danger and from death. Ia ad
vancing and maintaining the good of these two
great interests, common to the whole ot our
people. I have beea and shall be earnest and
watchful, and in the effort to advance every
material interest in the district, I trust ever
to 1e found vigiUnt and faithful. The first
duly of a representative is to his own const t
uents, to ad vance their good, to protect them
Irom ill. I now turn to the buimss of tbe
hour.
t-AITSLFSS adminmetration.
We charge upon the Republican organization
repeated violations ol its plighted laith, wan
ton disregard of the oHk-ul oaths of its rulers,
abuse ot powtt in de fit nee of the Constitution,
devruction of the elementary piluciples of re
publican government in the euactment of op
prrsaive laws end in practical administration;
invasion of the rights of the States and the
people; unnecessary oppression in the iiupisi
lion of the public burdens; reckless extrnva
gance in governmental expenditure and iiepo
lism, negfois.fn, immorality and corrup ion in
the daily routine of civil administration. All
of the s-.irplus earnings of the people are wrung
from them by the anuu.il expenditure ol over
four hundred millions of dollars, when the
sum of to hundred and fifty millions is suffi
cient to conduct the government, pay all its
pensions and interests and reduce the debt an
nually by at least thirty millions. In this enor
mous expenditure ami in the high rate of inter
est paid upon the pnblic debt is found "the
fruitiul Fource of hard times, individuil in
debtedness and personal bankruptcy." Hordes
of unnecessary officials and rings of corrupt
and reckless men infest every department of
the Federal Government aud swarm at all its
seats of rower, and thee gangs of plunderers
are made licit by the enormous sums of money
taken annually from the hand ol labor.
SHALL FEK ISSTITt'TlONS BE OVLRTIIBOWN?
At the entrance into this campaign these
Crcnt questions of governmental policy inifrht
well receive calm consideration and close ecru
tiny, but far overshadowiag these, and above
and beyond every question of mere adminis
tration, 13 THE VITAL ISSUB OF THE LIFE OH DEaTIl
ok itrrr a Lie a v institltiojs. This irxportant
and essential proposition is now formally pre
sentcd to the A merienn people iu the deliber
ate enactment of the Ku Klu.t and bayonet
bills. By them a government of law is de
stroyed and a tyranny is enthroned ;' a govern
ment of fcTce is substituted for the leigu of
the people ; dictatorial power is vested in one
roan and the civil power is subordinated to that
of the bayonet. These infamous laws are
practically the destruction oi local self govern
ment, and their mischievous tendencies and
dangerous powers ore themes that should
arouse the ardor and inspire tbe eloquence of
every lover of free institutions. Mf the people
endorse them, they sonnd the death knell of
their own liberties.
The ultimate design and present purpose ol
these outrageous laws is the election of Grunt
in lb2. Force and fraud under tho forms of
unconstitutional euactments, and the unscru
pulous use of the bayonet, if need be, are the
means to be employed in the coming contest,
and if the people of the Korthj iu these elec
tions, shall r.ot emphatically tepudiate the ini
quitous statutes, the Presidential contest of
l?72 wil" be settled by bloodshed and carnage.
"Forewarned is forearmed. "
A clique of corrupt men control yonr State
government, manage and control the finances
of the Commonwealth and run her Treasury
in their own interest and to the creat prejudice
of the r.nrv!o 1 J
of the people.

VIOLATION OF OATHS, II ISATPLICATION OF F0NDS
THE STATE DEBT TOO LARGE.
This issue directly involves tbe management
of tbe State fi-nances. If your Auditor Gen

a chec k upon every department of the govern -
r?iVr.D P".'Ct SafcSuarJ "ginst petty
stealing, embezzlement or robbeFv. In its
pure administration alone can the people find
protect-on for their treasure and speedy pav
ment of the State debt. If the people place
the control of this department in the hands of
a weak cr corrupt man, or give the vast reve
nues of the Commonwealth into the keepin- of

hey w.ll find the sad lessons of the present
hour recur m rapid succession. Stern integ
rity, watchful vigilance, fidelity of the loftiest
ennracter, and implicit obedience to the law as
written, should characterise the incumbent of
this important place. We charge that some
or these vital qualifications have bean found
wauling in those who now manage and control
onr finances. We charge that the Republican
candidate for this office is connected, bv per
sonal interest and political sympathy, with that
ring of the Republican paVty that run. the
State treasury and mismanages its finances.
Wo charge that those who administer the
finances of the State and audit its accounts
have broken their oaths to. support the Consti

misapplied the resets of the Commonwealth

These facts rannottwidenied, nnd they dernon-sti-ate
the lijfiit consideration that a iJepublicnn
otlieial places on his oath of olliee. If to these
lljrures we add the fr'7 ,0t they received from

placinjf the same, we find that the State dobt
should have l.-en reduced by at least three and
a half millions more than it is, if the plain poli
cy of tbo amendment of 1S67 had been carried
out .
I set out to prove violation of official oaths
ni.d misapplication of trust assets, and those
facta and tljrurcs are the evidence.
L'poii. tho men who now run the financial nnd
executive branches of the State jrovernment we
cliai'ifo either wanton neirleot of their otlieial
duties, or corrupt connivance in embezzlement
of the public moneys. If either proposition be
just, they ore unfit to fill the places they hold
and they "and those they seek to place in power
should be repudiated by nn outraged public.
"THEM 2t0,(JO0."
The Evans job is too recent and too plain in
its glaring depravity to need detailed explana
tion. That tJl.OOOof tho people's money is now
and has been for months past in the bands of
an employe, pet or partner of State oflicials. or
in the hands of those officials themseltes, is a
fact that they do not attempt to deny. That
they refuse to account for or pay it ovor, is
equally clear. That no lejal riirht or claim or
shadow of claim exists for this is ircnerally ad
niijted.. Tliat until within two months neither
the State Treasurer, the Auditor General nor
the Governor attempted to secure the money
to tho treasury, is undeniable, and is not de
nied. Can hny frood reason bojriven for tho abso
lute silence of the Auditor General and State
Treasurer. Tor four years, in refrartl to tho do
ings of this man Evans, whom they and their
political associates entrtiEt with power over
millions of tho money of the people? Why was
he not cited to settle his accounts lonif since in
tho office of the Auditor General? Why has
the State Treasurer been so lenient with this
larg-o public debtor? Are they in the job. or
nre they simply incompetent tor their places?
Why is it that riril process is issued, with tardy
and leisure-like alacrity, and the debtor warned
before tho process reaches the Slit-ritT V Why is
t'7t a process taken at all? Is it thut the ttate
may compel him to take the insolvent lawsand
she pay tho costs? Is it that, in the tedious
windings of "the law's delays." public opinion
may be blunted and dulled by lapse of titnennd
the debtor and his accomplices both jro free?
Is it that the "short, sharp and decisive" reme
dy of a warrant und indictment for the palpa
ble crriine would expose to the wronged people
the names and places of those who have shared
tho plunder and who planned the robbery?
Why is tho man who has told tho people of tho
wrong done them removed from the place that
earns a livelihood for himself and family? If
his statements be false, confront him with the
criminal and prove him what your cowardly
attack upon bin? asserts him to be. Tho truth
is patent; the ?ob complete; tho ri'u? has
robbed the treasury, ami four years' silenoo nnd
tardy and inellieient action when pressed toth'
wall, demonstrate that tho financial olficers of
the State are either deep in the plot, neglectful
of their plain duties, or incompetent for their
places. They will tie equally comfortable In
either horn of the dilemma.
A re these tbo men possessed of stern integrity,
watchful vigilance, faithful to their trust and
obedient to law, to whom we have entrusted
the finances of the State? Can it be that the
people design to place in the department that
passes and finally adjudicates their own .finan
cial transactions, the pet; protege and nominee
of these men? Who does not know, who so
blind as not to seo, the gross outrages tipoo tho
people that such a combination can, and, judg
ing by tho past, will, perpetrate. Stanton is
the nominee of the ring that runs the treasu
ry, of the men who misapply the assets of tho
State who aid nnd abet embezzlement aud
wrongs upon the people.
Elect him and you initiate a carnival of fraud,
nn era of corruption, such ns this Common
wealth has never seen. Tbe control of vast
financial resources, without direct accountabil
ity, places your seats of honor and of trust
within the grasp of tho very men who have nl
ready dishonored our State, dictated tho nomi
nations of Governors and rorrators, and, with
the monev of the people, controlled elections
by contributing to wholesale fraud therein, by
debauching and manipulating election officer 3
and by tho foulest means maintaining and per
petuating their own power.
what do we gain?
In tho successor the Democracy we find tho
solut Ion of two questions of grave Importance ;
the repeal of that prmfieal denial or the ea
pacitvof the people of Philadelphia for selt
go uriunent, embodied in the registry law for
that cit v. and the settlement of a Congression
al apportionment just to both parties and equi
table in all its details, llesides these we win
the vantaim ground for the great battle of
1S7, iu which we choose a Governor and a 1 res
ident. Victorious now, we are inspired with
count i? o and with hope, and the battle will bo
easily won ngaifist;a despondent and demoral
ised foe r df.t'niited now w ( fuccan uohill con
test with tho prestige of success against us. I
speak plainly, for all thinking men recognize
the truth of these practical propositions, and I
seek to arouse you to earnestness, to energy, to
determined woTk to win this; fight;
CAN WE GOVERN OCltSEI.VES? THE DENIAL. OF
THE AMERICAN PK1NC1PLK THE INFAMOUS
KKUISTUY LAW.
The registry law under which you vote com
mits no wrong upon your people ; it leaves to
you the rreo choice of your election officers in
the manner that ancient usage and. familiar
statutes point out. The neoole with the ballot 1
select their judges and inspector of elections,
tbe party that preponderates is entitled to tho
majority, the fewer in numbers to the minori
ty upon the board. This has come to be recog
nized as a fundamental privilege uu:ous us,
nnd the people of the State would submit to no
law that would take from them tho right to
choose these officers, nnd their. inherent s nso
of justice rvants to the minority their plain
rirht of representation upon these boards.
This is not the law in the great city of Philadel
phia. The people there have no right to vote
lor election officers. They nre disfranchised,
and their power is vested in a board of alder
men elected for an entirely different purpose.
Here the people elect, the assessors and tl ey
make out the registry list aud place upon it.
the names of the voters. There, tho board of
aldermen appoint tho men to make out the
registry lists nnd invariably appoint two le
publicans and one Democrat. Here, the Dem
ocrats elect a Democratic assessor, in a Demo
cratic district. There, the board appoint two
Republicans and one Democrat in erert dis
trict, whether Republican or Democratic, and
the majority controls, t'nder tho dictation of
corrupt and desperate men this power has
grown to be n most fruitful source of impurity
in the elections of Philadelphia. Men arc ap
pointed as canvassers who know no law and
recognize no system of morals, but the success
of their party nnd the attainment of their own
selfish endsaud those of tluir designing lenders.
They without hesitation strike from the regis
try lists th names of voters who ure duly qual
ified, and add thereto tho names of those who
hrve no shadow of right to voto. .
.Vo icjni puwer e.rinta tn i.rcviit 1hf3e intninnnz
One member of the legislature hold
his place because tho names of one hundred
and forty-eight legal voters of his district wore
struck from the registry without authority bt
law ar.d for purely partisan purposes.
Here, in u Democratic district, you elect the
Judge nnd ono f the inspectors, ami the Ke-publir-ins
elect the other. There, the board or
aldermen sHect tho election officers in extent
district, and invariably choor-e the men who do
the bidding and suit the purpose of the Re
publican majority of the boards, and in the se
lection of officer the board of aldermen take
especial care to cluu.no astute and unscrupu
lous Republicans who will do the bidding of
their party friends anil almost invarial.lv se
lect illiterate, weak or corruptible men as
Democratic election otl'cers. In many cases,
indeed, they violate the plain letter of the law
by nppointirg Republicans Instead of Demo
crats. One of tin- officers of the Republican
State convention was a man who bad been ap
pointed and had nctod ns a "Democratic" elec
tion officer at tho last election ! Hy the election
of shrewd and unscrupulous men upon ore
side and of incompetent or corruptible men on
the other the door to fraud nnd wron;r is wide
ly opened nnd the purity of tho ballot is utter
ly destroyed. Such has now come to be the
case in the city of Philadelphia and tho voice
of her people i stilled by tho wiles and machi
nations of lawless men, acting under the forms
of nn unjust statute. Canvass Msts ai-e "doc
tored:" ballot-boxes are stuffed; returns are
iiltcietl, forged and manipulated, and fraud nnd
violence in their worst forms are resorted to
in order to maintain the political supremacy of
desperate and evil men.
The true remedy of these wrong consists in
restoring to tho o.ple the rights taken from
them and in making the general law applicable
to the city of Philadelphia.
In the rec ent session of the legislature we
sought to amend this law by allowing the votes
to be counted in the presence of the judges of
the courts, by giving the courts the power to
put on names left olf the registry bv mistake or
fraud and by giving the uiinoritv of the board
of aldermen the right to select their duo pro
portion of election officers lor each election
district. Under the dictation nf the men who
nre now upon the ticket in Philadelphia this
was refused by the Republican House of Ro
resentntives, and wo now co:ne to the people to
demand the repeal of this unjust law. Itsgross
injustice is so patent that nearly every Repub
lican paper in Philadelphia has condemned It,
but it serves their purposes of fraud and false
counting. So reck less and bo 1 1 have these men
become that 1 hey contemn public opinion and
ooenly proclaim their intention to vomit them-si-.i
in. They reckon without their host if so
during a game he attempted. The D noeracv
of Philadelphia are aroused and determined,
and with public sentiment upon their side, they
will do whatis necessary to secure a fair count.
e nave the votes and we have the nhvsical

InS ..,...,' i"S US lls ,no,;aL -'I'l'ort
and popular voice, and we would be worse
than fools to permit a gang of desoerate knaves
to count us out. Fraud, false counting, for
gery of return's, riot, bloodshed and murder,
all and each in turn, have been perpetrated at
the command of the lawless men who run tho
Republican organization in that city, lift puli
lic patience is at last exhausted nnd those who
respect order and love law ure upon our side
and will give us their support and encourage
ment in thdr preservation: In the perform
ance of a jus't act or iu the preventien of a gross
wrong, public opinion sanctifies the means em
ployed. To repeal this vile law, nna give those people
the rights that yciu posse ss, will tie one of the
first fruits of the victory to which wo invite
you. To re-endorso this fundamental princi
ple and to vindicate the right of the people to
govern themselves in every locality, will be an
achievement that wf!l reflect, honor upon all
who aid in its accomplishment.
THE CONCIfKSSIONAL G Kit It YM AND EH.
The struggle of last session for a just legisla
tive apportionment warns us that we will lie
mercilessly treated by our antagonists in the
event, of their success, in tho matter of a Con
gressional apportionment, and to those who
aspire to Congressional honors, or love fair
play, this adds an additional argument lor zeal
in the contest.
Under tho famous gerrymander .of lsre, we
have been disfranchised and outraged. Its
practical workings during the last four terms,
when reduced touu average, demonstrate that
it required 3.e0T vote to elect 11 Democratic
Congressman, while 17.S00 votes were enough to
elect a Republican. Tiie difference !et ween the
parties in the ulmlc rote j. .. at thene ejections
has been but about 31,000 votes, yet during
these four terms sixty-four Republicans hive
been sent to Congress whilst but thirty-one
Dcmoctats have filled the place.
Can I adduce any more potent argument for
the necessity for work thnn these figures ehow?
NO NEW l'EI'ARTl'KE.
Our enemy plumes himself uyon our alleged
distractions and divisions and argues hence nn
easy victory. Let me tell him to "lay not this
fluttering unction too near his soul." The so
called distractions and divisions of the Democ
racy are settled in their own ratiks nnd in their
own way. They will bring neither aid nor coin
fort to the enemy. That which they nre pleased
to call a "new departure" i.s a simple recogni
tion ot the; doctrine they havealways maintain
ed : to obey that which has the forms and sanc
tion of constituted authorityuntil relieved from
their obligation to obey by the constitution
al tribunal or the power tha"t enacted the law.
In this we differ now, ns wo always;ha ve.ditrer
cd, with our antagonists; ve obey law ; -the
nullify their obligations and preach a higher
law. We have made no departure from our
universally received and recognized doctrine,
that the control of tho question of suffrage
within the States ought to belong to tho States
and tin? people, nor does cither onr practice or
our theory warrant the charge that we would
nullify any enactment by fraud or violence.
The principles we advocate aro those upon
which the government grew to greatness and
to power, and which the Democracy has always
enunciated and maintained : obedience to law,
the right of local self government, the souud
practice of constitutional government, econo
my in public expenditure, and the ust rights
of the Slates and of the people. Tlio Denioc- L
racy ot Pennsylvania have closed up their
ranks and will come? to the polls with unbroken
front, buoynnt with hope and inspired with
confidence, proud of their candidate. who be
long to no ring and have 110 ittfiliHrion with
corrupt cliques, whose personal, civil and mili
tary record are above reproach, whose? gallant
ry has been tested on many battle fields, where
they were trusted lenedrs in a fighting corps
that has been and will be tho pride of every
true Pennsylvaniao. The Democracy will be
at tTfo polls an harmonious, united and deter,
mined party, ready to meet an. effete, corrupt
and degraded organization, whose chief boast
is thnt thety have mado tho negro their equal,
whose groat power is the corrupt use of tho
pitblic moneys, whose most trusted leaders are
disgusted and recalcitrant, whoso present lead
ers nre mainly federal officials and whoso or
ganization, in almost every leading Hcp'ubhcan
county !n the Ptiite, ia broken into fragineuts,
cliques ond sections. It is a shell full of emp
tiness and rottenness, nnd It, will collapse and
stink when punctured and broken by the ser
ried ranks of a victorious Democracy.

The vivid descriptions of Niagara Falls fur-
nished by j our correspondents put mc to dream-
ing of this great wonder, and made me visit the
"tails" too. I took the route that Col. Wa-h- '
ington took when he went out nsagent for Gov.
Dinwiddie of Virginia to tho Governor of Can
ada to negotiate a lon:i for the 1 ii st National
IHhiU of the United States. Tho great li.nnhor
of derricks nnd oil well:-, that I saw coi:Cinecd
me thut I had either missed Washington's path
or else that be was entirely retb'cnt on thesi:t
ject of petroleum. I left the battle ground of
Ruena Vista. t tho loft and Waterloo to the
right, and si cored direct lor I.umly's Lane,
where I liad a pleasant interview with Gotiehil
Scott. At Ciinoo-plHee 1 wits furnished iv.'th a
canoe, ond the ghosts of Wolfe ami Montcalm
and myself started over the lake for the Kails.
The day was perfectly clear, but as we nearcd
Ghat Island our canoe tipp'd a little. nnl in fif
teen minuti'S we were enveloped in a dense fog.
In fifteen minutes more we touched the surlace
of the water below, when our canoe began to
gyrate at the rate of a thousand revolution
per second. The ghosts, being spiritual in their
natures, went up with the mists and the rain
bows, and I was left alone "to puddle my own
canoe." Having remJ philosophy, und knowing
something of thepressureof the fog, I reasoned
thus: that the canoe would not upset. So 1
stood up and grabbed for the Canada line,
which runs near the centre of the river. I suc
ceeded in throwing a ioc;er handkerchief
across it. and by bard pulling I got out of the
fearful eddy, but the canoe then struck a bee
lino down Ice river, striking a scveu-hundrcd-ton
took, which it split into fragments, without
any injurs" to the canoe. Suddenly my craft
was metamorphosed into a balloon, end when I
awoke I was going ip with fragments of rain
bows nnd other delusions. 1. may he going on
yet for aught I know. Rut this is "what 1 know
about the Falls of Niagara."
There Is some talk hereabout elect ing Judges
and other officers for the District Court. It is
evident that we have? a District Court, because
the act oft ho Legislature which created it never
was repealed. It is also evident that the Judges
of the Court of Cambria county cannot sit
here, for the Supreme Court has so ruled. The
only thing that can tie clone is to elect Judges
according to the constitution nnd the law cre
ating tho District Court. This would obviate
all the difficulties under which we now labor.
A District Court hero would save a vast amount
of useless expense in trifling oases, that should
never be sent up, nnd it would bo much more
convenient for witnesses and parties.
Tho M. K. Church is holding 11 camp-meeting

power of our water works, a temporary hose
attached to a fire plug soon quenched the flames.

(Mo.) True Democrat of Aug. ltlth devotes
epwards of a column and a half to the ex
posure of the "ways that nre dark and tricks
that are vain" of a certa'n John T. Batemun,
a man (if it is proper to so designate such a
creature) who was born and reared, and married
his first wife in Ebensbnrgh, and who has re
cently I'bandoned his second wife and child
(born since his departure), besides leaving
several confiding creditors in that place in the
lurch for various suras of ..money which iu his
hurry he forgot to pay. Bateni in, as we have
Slid, was married to his first wife !u this pUce,
and by this marriage became connected with
s me of the most respectable people in this
vicinity. It i many years ago, however,
since ho left this country for the country's
good, and none but residenlers of nearly two
decades standing will remember to h.-ive known
him while in our midst. His prescut wherea
