THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &C. Associated with the name of Mr. Buchan an in this contest, is that of John C. Breek inridge—a man who at a youthful age has shown talents of the highest order, and an ardent and able advocacy of popular princi ples. To me he is a familiar friend. We en tered public life together, when I met him for the first time in the National Capitol, one of the Representatives of that lovely State which the - Indian resigned with the keenest regret, and which still bears the memory of his struggles in its name of "the dark and bloody ground." He came from that district of Kentucky so long represented by Henry Clay, who illustrated the largeness of his pa triotism in embracing all classes of his fel low citizens, by declaring upon one occasion that "Kentucky was the Ireland of America." Our candidates are worthy of our cause, and the cause worthy of our most strenuous e±Thrts. It is the cause of the Constitution and the Union, and all of our most valued institutions—of our very liberties and nation al existence. Let us be true to that cause, and. victory cannot fail to be the reward of our services. REMARKS -OF HON. JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE, -AT TILE Tippecanoe Battle Ground Convention. After being introduced to the vast assem blage by the President of the Convention, lion. John Pettit, Mr. Breckinridge spoke in substance as follows : He said he never, in the whole course of his life, felt more regret at being unable, upon this occasion, to address his fellow-citizens, who had met in friendly communion for the Union upon ground so sacred. On his way hither, he had been called upon so frequently to address the people, that his voice had been rendered extremely hoarse. Ile was totally incompetent to make himself heard by the vast assemblage present, and could not do more than to address those within the sound of his voice, intending, in a few earnest words, to speak of our common country and. its in terests. • He said there were present to-day thousands of Kentuckians, who felt that they had the right to assemble upon that blood-bought ground, where their fathers had united before with their Indian brothers, in defence of our country from a foreign and a savage foe.— That man must be blind, indeed, who did not consider this Confederacy in danger. The animosity, vindictiveness and ill-will shown toward the Southern portion of it and its peo ple by a new party, might do it between two nations at war with one another, but as be tween brethren of our common country it was reprehensible. and if persisted in would lead to disunion. The geographical line feared by Washington had been drawn, and it was a portentious omen of evil. The difference was not between individuals but a difference between one community of men against another—an array of States zgainst States. This was no time to deceive. He would express his convictions that fifteen States believe that the Republican party was making most persistent efforts to create vin dictive feeling in the minds of the people of the other portion of the Union, against the South. To create this unnatural prejudice it had been charged that it was the design of the South to be aggressive upon the North— to use the federal powers of the government to propogate slavery. This was not true. To whatever extent he might be authorized to speak for the Southern States he pronounced it untrue. He was connected with no political organization which desired to extend slavery ; nor was he connected with one that opposed the free expression of the voice of new com munities upon this and all other domestic questions. The Democratic party had en-_ dorsed the principle of leaving the people of the Territories free to say for themselves wile-. flier they should have slavery or not. He was in Congress when the Kansas-Nebraska bill became a law, and if it had proscribed the North, he would not have voted for it.— Had it proscribed the South he would not have sanctioned it. The Democratic party in endorsing the principle of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, had, from its very nature, to take that position.— It was not a pro-slavery or an anti-slavery party, but a Constitutional party. One rea son why the Democratic party had remained a united party, was because of its adherence to a few plain, simple truths, embodied in the Constitution of our country. The Demo cratic party, adhering to the plain precepts of the common bond of union, had been com pelled, in justice to itself, to oppose a United States Bank, a Protective Tariff, and when the new organization called American, or Know-Nothing, arose, ti was likewise compel led to oppose it, if true to its principles. But those questions had passed, and he had no motive to bring up what was gone. In refer ence to the organization of which he had spo ken, he would only say that the fever had abated, the delirium was over, and the patient was sane again. The Democratic party had not now under taken to legislate slavery into Territories no more than it did when New Mexico and Utah were made territories—the same principle governed in both : that of leaving the people thereof perfectly free to establish their domes tic institutions, in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the Union. Ile spoke of the Democratic party in its federal rela tions. If the citizens of Indiana ought to abolish capital punishment in their State, the citizens of Kentucky had no right to oppose them, and so of the question of slavery and of all other local questions. This was the Dem ocratic principle, and the difference between Democracy and so-called Republicanism, was that the former refuse to employ the Federal Constitution to propagate any local question or any fanaticism of the day. These were matters to be determined by the internal reg ulations of each State, by themselves. The beauty of the• American system of govern ment was that in external affairs we present ed a unit, whilst in local affairs we were a community governed by the interests of dis tinct localities. To the world a nation, to ourselves a confederacy. Perfect equality was given to all who compose the nation. It was no betrayal of this principle, in practice, if outrages for the moment had been commit ted. These were the accidents of the princi ple. It could not be charged that one system of government was a failure because the peo ple of Rhode Island had been at war with one another as to the form of State Consti tution they should live under; or, that be cause in California the powers of government had been transferred (he would, not stop to say whether rightfully or not) to an irrespon sible association. Our government was not a failure because of disturbances engendered by folly or ambition. kie asked, when 'these territories come to be admitted into the Union, what principle would govern the Democratic, Whig, Union, Constitutional party ? That they should come in, each, as sisters. All of the thirteen colonies were slave-holding States once—at the time the Constitution was framed, twelve were so. Because this was so, would they have done right to have refused the admis sion into the Union of free States ? Clearly not. The disturbances in Kansas were but the pretext for ulterior deigns. An angel from heaven could not satisfy the sectionalists, whose designs were to get up a arty in this Union to make war upon the South. The boldest of them avow it—the more candid de mand universal emancipation everywhere.-- In their platform they declare that the Dec laration of Independence, with its whole ab- , stract truths, is embodied in the Constitution of the United States. That portion which guarantees life, liberty and happiness, is claimed to all persons, without distinction of color, and the federal powers of the govern ment are construed to give them power to control and regulate the domestic institutions of the States. If this doctrine prevail, he asked, can such a party be expected to ad minister the government under a limited con . stitution ? Powers were construed by them sufficient to dissolve the Union. To accom plish this, one half of the Union was to be arrayed against the other. It was in vain to tell the people that the Republican was not a sectional. party. In formation, purposes, objects, boundaries, it leaves out one half of the Union. It cuts the country in two and declares its purpose as a Northern party to take possession of the gov ernment in a manner most insulting to the South. What was the condition of affairs ? State was being arrayed against State, the Northern frontier was the scene of bloody strife, and all the appliances of money and systematic effort, in and out of Congress, used to array the people of the two sections one against the other. Language of bitter ness, obloquy and hatred was uttered against the people of one portion of the Union by this sectional party. This government was composed of people and States. How would, he asked, fifteen States feel ostracised from the Confederacy ? Could not the fulminators of this strife pause long enough to see the consequences? it was claimed by them that they sought the control of the government to promote the "general welfare" of the country. If the southern States were in the majority, and were to take exclusive possession of the government, would it promote the "general welfare ?" Would it tend to "form a more perfect Union?"— The genius of discord was abroad in the land, and the day predicted by Washington was upon us. The meaning of this sectional movement was, that the States shall not live as our fathers lived together, in peace, har mony and union. The triumph of this par ty would ostracise the South, from participa tion in the affairs of the government. Who believes, he said, that this Union can survive when the affections of the people are sealed up. When. the woodman entered the forest, he belted the tree, and when girdled, the sap which kept it alive ceased to flow, and decay ,ed gradually, until death finally ensued. So with the Union. He referred to the language of Washington in his farewell address, and said that this new organization was born under the condemna tion of the Father of his Conntry. The day he predicted was at hand. His warning and solemn admonition to beware of geographi cal parties had not been heeded. With what terrible distinctness had he depicted this sec tional party. He believed this party had sit for the portrait, and that Washington had painted it in colors that would never fade. He referred to the memories of Clay and Jackson ; quoting their language in evidence of the fact that they had' always discounte nanced sectionalism. Search the roll of pa triotic dead, said he, and look at the illustri ous living, and your would find their names all on the record against this movement.— The testimony of the dead and the position of the living were against this movement.— He meant no offence to those who differed with him, but this was his - honest conviction, and he held to no sentiment that he was not willing to utter in any quarter of tho coun try-. If the Union was to be scarred by fanati cal hands, shall Kentucky and Indiana be separated ? He would recall the time when these States were closely united together— when they stood with arms locked in frater nal brotherhood. Together they had defen ded this soil against a foreign and savage foe. Kentucky, though her people were few and scattered never turned a deaf ear to the calls of her country. In all the limits of your State not a battle field could he found which had not been the receptacle of the blood and bones of Kentuckians. And, to-day, we stood upon the ashes of her dead, where eve ry turf was a soldier's sepulchre. We want, said he, to share with you the blessings of this government, and will Indiana join with any sectional party which seeks to prevent us from enjoying so priceless a boon? He had no fear of it. The old men and the young around him, the matrons in the dignity of womanhood, and the maidens in the prime of beauty, tell me, in a language that cannot be mistaken, that you will not. (Cries of nev er, never, never l) It was full time that you were aroused for the safety of the Union—the peril is upon you. Then let your exultant shouts be that you will cling to that Constitution and that Union under which we have heretofore lived so happily; and record a vow, never to be broken, to never unite with sectional parties to divide the Union with sectional lines. Frown down disunion and disunionists. The beautiful Ohio, then, will continue only an imaginary boundary between a community of brothers. [After the conclusion of his address, Mr. Breckinridge was greeted with rounds of cheers and applause.' Buchanan's Popularity The Delaware Gazette very truly remarks: " Nothing proves more clearly the populari ty of Mr. Buchanan than the fact that mem bers of both the opposite factions assert a pref erence for his election. It is therefore a very common occurrence to see a Know Nothing and a Republican meet and separate—the one declaring that he would prefer Buchanan to Fillmore, and the other swearing Fremont is an Abolitionist, opposed to the Union, and that he would vote for Buchanan in prefer ence. The reason of this is in the fact that each of these parties know Mr. Buchanan to be a great and wise man, in whose keeping all the interests of the government will be entirely secure." THE GLOBE.

DAwsox contained in this paper, to the candid perusal of every vo ter into whose hands it may fall. Since the commencement of the present contest—big, as it is, and as it must result, with weal or wo to our country—we have devoted our pa per almost entirely to political affairs. We have eschewed everything of an abusive char acter calculated to do - violence to the feelings of the honest portion of our political oppo nents. 'We have, however, spoken the truth, freely and fearlessly, and this we shall con tinue to do, however much others may: seem to differ. 'We have given many able speeches and documents exposing the recklessness and folly of the opposition parties, but none more so than the speech of Mr. Dawson. In a calm, dignified, and eloquent manner, he re views the state of the parties and the issues now before the people, and exhibits in light clear as day the result that Must follow the success of the fanatical a,bolitiopsisrs who are supporting John C. Fremont. Mr. Dawson is one of the ablest champions of democracy in the old Keystone—a man of unimpeachable honor and integrity, and respected for his hon esty in political as well as private life. Read the speech, and then give it to your neighbor and ask him to read it. We also give a sketch of the remarks of lion. JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE, the Democratic candidate for Vice President, in Indiana. It is a clear exposition of the issues involved in the present Presidential contest. JouN R, EDlE,—This unscrupulous political demagogue has received the Know-Nothing nomination for Congress. By his chicanery he received the nomination by the . ',Whigs at the last Congressional election, although_ he was at the same time the secret nominee of the Know-Nothings, and when, during the contest this charge was made against him, he solOnnly denied it, and thus the Whigs were duped into his support. lie came before the people with a falsehood :upon his lips, by which he secured the votes of many of those whom he had sworn to proscribe. Since his election his time has been almost constantly engaged in attending Know-Nothing Coun cils. It remains to be seen whether Mister Edie has sworn friends enough to give him another seat in Congress. We think not. 11Ve would again urge the necessity of our friends going immediately to the Ambro type Gallery of GEO. 11. AUXER, and obtain one or more of those superior Likenesses, for they are decidedly the best pictures ever taken in Huntingdon. Booms in the Court llouse, where he may be found during this and nest week. The time intervening between the present and the day on which the freemen of Penn- - sylvania shall exercise the elective franchise, is rapidly shortening. The mighty engine of political power, public sentiment, is aroused; and the people, our only fightfid sovereigns, are ready and willing to investigate the abil ity and integrity of those to whom it is pro posed to commit the charge of their official stations. Both the friends and the opponents of the present national administration, in this Commonwealth, have presented candidates for the several elective offices. On the Dem ocratic banner, which has been unfurled in every political contest, since the days of Jef ferson, we find inscribed the names of GEO. SCOTT, of Columbia county, for Canal Com missioner; JACOB Fxr, Jr., of Montgomery county, for Auditor General ; and JOHN ROWE, of Franklin county, for Surveyor General.— These gentlemen are true and tried Demo crats, and as such, we expect to record their triumphant election. The opposition to this great national party, consists of the remnant of the old Whig organization, the Know Nothings, and the Black Republicans—three parties holding to antagonistic principles, which, by artful political manoeuvres, have been brought to the support of a single tick et, headed by THOS. E. CoeunAN, of York, for Canal Commissioner; Dialwas Punta's, of Armstrong, for Auditor General; and B. LA PORTE, of Bradford, for Surveyor General.— It is now generally conceded, that each of these candidates are supporters of Fremont, or advocates of the principles of the Repub lican movement. The congressional conference, for the dis trict composed of Huntingdon, Blair, Cam bria and Somerset, have presented CYRUS L. PERSHING, Esq., of Cambria, a gentleman of fine intellectual ability, and a pleasant spea ker, as our nominee. If elected, Mr. P. can and will represent the 18th district in the lower branch of the national Legislature, with honor to himself and credit to his con stituency. His unostentatious and courteous deportment, will contribute to his ability in adorning that position. Give him your votes. For the Senate, JOHN CRESSIVELL, Jr., of Hollidaysburg, is again before the people.— He is comparatively a young man ; yet, that the citizens of the district have confidence in his honesty and qualifications to take charge of their interests in that branch of the Penn sylvania Legislature, is abundantly evidenced by the flattering vote and triumphant elec tion he received three years ago. For the House of Representatives, JOHN H. LIGHTNER, of Shirleyshurg, and Dr. R. W. 'CHRISTY, of Blair county, are presented.— Dr; Christy comes recommended by the Dem ocratic Delegate Convention of his county, and combines the necessary qualifications for that post. John H. Lightner, put in nomina tion last night, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the declination of Mr. Nicholas Cresswell, is a young man of fine talents, a true Demo crat, and an honest man. WM Col. GRAFFITS MILLER, of 'Huntingdon, is the nominee for Sheriff. The Col. has always been a consistent member of the Democratic party, always ready and ever willing to aid in the election of "its candidates and advance ment of its principles. Always zealous in the advocacy of the cherished doctrines of the party to which he adheres, his course has ever been courteous toward opponents. Should he succeed in being elected, of which we en tertain no apprehension, we arc free to say that the duties of that office will be discharg ed faithfully, and to the satisfaction of the public. For the dignified and important station of Associate Judge, JOHN LONG, of Shirleysburg, and Col. JOHN CRESSWELL, of Petersburg, were selected. Mr. Long, has, for a number of years, been engaged in the mercantile bu siness. Col. Cresswell has filled the positions of Justice of the Peace, Commissioner, and Prothonotary, with dignity and credit. Both these gentlemen would officiate in this capa city, in such a manner, as to meet the appro val of the great body of their fellow citizens. The post of County Commissioner, demands the services of an honest, intelligent citizen, one who is acquainted with the wants of the people of the county, and who will sedulous ly guard the appropriation of the county fund, and study and practice economy in its expenditures. Believing that HENRY ZIM MERMAN, Esq., of Hopewell, will fully meet these requirements, he was selected as our candidate. DAVID BAnurcK, an intelligent farmer of Democratic Barree, is presented for Director of the Poor. His business qualifications and experience are such as to render him a fit person to take charge of the interest of the tax payers in the poor department of our county. For the post of Auditor, by no mezns un important, as too many are prone to regard it, we have Ao - ausTINE L. GRIM, of Hunting don, a young mechanic, of fine natural abili ties, yet modest and. unassuming in deport ment. Should he be elected, the duties of that office, will, on his part be performed. with fidelity. The ticket thus composed, is passed to our fellow citizens of Huntingdon County for their decree. The undivided vote of the Democracy of the county, will be, cast in its favor, together with the suffrages of many independent voters who are not recognized as Democrats, yet who are unwilling to fol low the phantoms of sordid political leaders. Progressing—The work of organization.— Let it be ca.rried on with energy ! Our Ticket Snow-Nothing Candidate for the Senate, Contrary to the advice given by us to the Know-Nothing party last Spring, that party has committed the folly of placing a candidate in the field for State Senator ! They have nominated Alex. C. Mullin, of Cambria coun ty, a young man whose prominent qualifica tion appears to be that he is a member of the " Sublime Order of Know Nothings I" All other qualifications, if he has any, seem to be "hid under a busher—covered with the mask of secrecy ! Yet there is no secrecy attached to the fact that he was last fall the nominee of the Know Nothing party of his county for County Treas urer, and was defeated by a majority of six or seven hundred against him. A similar fate awaits Mr. Mullin at the coming elec tion! It will also be recollected that during the last Senatorial contest A. C. Mullin was the editor of the "Alleghenian," a paper started in Ebensburg for the purpose of making mo ney, and that on the nomination of Alex. M. White, by the Whigs, Mr. Mullin refused to support the nominee of the party unless he would give the proper paper pledginghimself to give said Mullin so many hundred dollars, and to secure, in addition, three hundred sub scribers to the "Alleghenian," and for this he agreed to .compromise his objections to Mr. White and support him as the Whig can didate for State Senator ! But Mr. White refused to comply with the demand—and very properly, too—and for this refusal Mr. White was opposed by Alex. C. Mullin. These statements were made by Mr. White himself and published over the signatures of Major John Thompson, of Ebensburg, and Colonel John Piper, of Hollidaysburg. It was then rumored that the personal enemies of Mr. White had in the meantime stepped in and made up a purse of $lOOO for the editors of the Alleghanian. This statement was boldly made by the "Blair County Whig," and whe ther true or false, the editor of the Whig was indicted, tried and convicted (under the old law) of Libel in the Court of Cambria coun ty. These, then, with the fact that Mr. Mul lin is a Know Nothing, constitute his claims to the suffrages of the intelligent voters of this district for the State Senate. Are they valid? Are they sufficient? Let the Democ racy and Old Line Whigs of Huntingdon county answer by rolling up a majority of three hundred against him. Auction ! ; Auction ! Auction ! The Huntingdon Journal and the two or three unscrupulous leaders who manage that establishment, are determined to have apo litical auction. For some time past the Jour nal has been denouncing the Know Nothing party, which it supported a year ago, as be ing as bad, or even worse than the "Locofo cos," and now, in the face of this fact, has raised to its mast-head, the names of John Edie, for Congress, and Alex. C. Mullin, for Senator, both nominees of the Know Noth ing party—both regularly initiated, out-and out Know Nothings ! I Are the Republicans of Huntingdon county, many of whom, to our own knowledge, openly and bitterly con demn the proscriptiveness of Know Nothing ism, to be deceived into its and their support? —to be sold like horses at an Auction? If they have independence and moral and poli tical integrity, let them answer like "free men." Auction! Auction ! Auction! Terms of sale to be made known after the election "The Huntingdon Globe with all its assumed courage and effrontery has never yet published the Republican platform. It does not dare to publish it."--Jountai. By referring to the Globe of July 2nd the Abolitionists of the Journal will discover that they again lie—under a mistake. We also published the "planks" and "shingles" in our paper of the 3rd inst., and the sentiments therein contained are pregnant with treason —and had their authors uttered them fifty years ago they would have been "hanged" as traitors. They are without a single feature to recommend them to the countenance and support of the American people; they may, however, be considered as sound as the gold by which the Abolitionist allies of England are supported, but the demoCracy being the guardian of Constitutional Liberty and Con stitutional Rights cannot do otherwise than oppose them and their traitor authors to the last extremity. Down with the Arnolds I Ricrs.---Several serious riots occurred at Baltimore last week, which. were attended with bloodshed and loss of life. It would seem that' the "reign of terror" is not yet over, And that the scenes which occurred at Louisville last summer, are to be re-enac ted. by the fanatical and violent opponents of the Democratic party. Next week we will piiblish the accounts given of the riots by several Know-Nothing papers, laying the blame upon those to whom it belongs. The Republican Party, Here is a rich thing from Wra`tDELL PHIL- Lips, a leading Abolition disunionist, We commend it to the attention of all those who are anxious to know the real tendency of Black Republicanism. When that party is endorsed by GARRIsozy and PHILLIPS, all true patriots should pause long and reflect serious ly before they cast their votes for Fremont. PHILLIPS says : " There is merit in the Republican party. It is this : It is the first sectional party ever organized in this country. * * It is not national, it is sectional. It is the North ax rayed against the South. * * The first crack in the iceberg is visible : you will yet hear it go with a crack through the centre." r.

Opposed by the Abo litionists, the Mainectes and all the other isms, which have afflicted New England since the days of the Hartford Convention, the gallant Democracy of Maine have been overborne. BENNETT and GREELEY howl in chorus over this result, and the party which was the first to raise the banner of sixteen stars over the head of 'FREMONT shouts in glory. Happily, however, New England is not the Union.— There are States left even in that region, which will steadily breast the mad torrent of fanaticism now threatening to overrun that quarter of the country ; while in every other part of the Union National men will behold the peril that now threatens the Republic in these arrogant advances of the worstsection alism we have ever known, and will act ac cordingly. Those who have doubted that a geographical party could survive may see in the result in Maine the danger of such a. movement. The Republican fathers, after the Constitution was framed, and after the revolution had been decided, saw but one ob stacle in the way of the success of the Re publican experiment s and that was the very geographical party which exists in our midst. WASHINGTON, JEFFERSON, and MADISON, all pleaded against this party. Their warning words still live in our memories, and speak to us from the pages of impartial history.— The gigantic peril which they apprehended is upon us, and all rational men who have doubted before can now see what path they should take, and what course they should pursue. We are proud to say that this result, so far from disheartening the gallant Democracy of Pennsylvania, of Illinois, of Indiana, and of other free States, should strengthen them to renewed exertions, and should inspire them with a re-invigorated determination to be up and. doing. Let us remember when in 1840 Maine declared for General llAm uses, at her September election, her voice was indicative of triumph North and South; but now when fanaticism has succeeded in swerving her masses from Constitutional principles, she speaks only in favor of a geographical organ ization limited to the North, and pledged to incessant warfare upon our brethren of the South. For the first time in our history we are called upon to meet this geographical par ty in Pennsylvania, and we are glad to assure our friends at a distance that at no period have the Democracy and the friends of the Constitution in this State been better organ ized, more self-reliant, more confident and more harmonious than at the present day.— They hear the result in Maine only to feel. that their own responsibility is the greater, that the glory of the certain success which awaits them in October will be more endur ing, because that State has given way, and that as before they will stem the torrent and uphold the principles of the Federal Consti tution. WITAT DOES IT MEAN ?—The Know Nothing paper in Blair county, supports A. C. 101uL.- lAN, for the State Senate, and the Black Re publican paper denounces him. In Hunting don county, the Know Nothing paper de nounces, and the Black Republican paper supports him. Which party is to be sold?— That's a fair question. Who'll answer? The Republicans Frightened ! The leading paper of the Black Republi can party of New York, the Morning Couri er and Enquirer, in a long and beseeching article, seemingly addressed to its Black Re publican contemporaries, confesses that Mr. Buchanan - will get in the South one hundred and twenty electoral votes; that he will, also, certainly get California; and thaeit is "only necessary to give him the twenty-seven elec toral votes of the honest old free State of Pennsylvania, and he is the next President of the United States." Pennsylvania (says the Union) will insure her vote for her native and favorite son by twenty thousand majority. The Black Re publicans may well fear that they are run ning down hill. A few more weeks, and we shall see where the revolutionary blows struck by the Black Republicans against the Con stitution and the Union will place their par ty. Pennsylvania is truly an "honest" and patriotic State. She is proud of the name she bears amongst her sister States. She is the keystone that will assist to save the Union in this contest by such a triumphant vote for Buchanan on the 4th of November, that Black Republicanism will forever hide its diminish ed head. If ever known again, it will be un der some other name and some other leader. Our Candidate for Congress. In another column of our paper will be found the proceedings of the Democratic Con gressional Conference, which met at Johns town on Friday the sth instant. As was very generally anticipated, Cynus L. PERsEr iNc, Eso., of Johnstown, received the nomi nation. The selection is eminently a fit one and is well calculated to inspire our friends throughout the District with a confident hope of success. Mr. Pershing is well and favor ably known as a gentleman of undoubted ability and irreproachable character. He is, and always has been, a firm and steadfast Democrat, and if elected, as he will be, if our friends do their duty, he will prove an honor to the District. His political escutch eon is neither polluted with Know-Nothing ism, nor soiled with the foul touch of Black Republicanism. He comes before the peo ple with clean hands and an honest heart ; his tongue is not forked, for it speaks mod estly, but with unerring certainty, what ho intends to perform. It is refreshing, in these days of political degeneracy, to enter the lista in defence of such a candulate.—Ebensburg Democrat,
