Let the' People3Knov.i!'! That there remained in the National Con vention at Baltimore, after every disorgani zing Rebel had seceded, 436 regularly ap pointed delegates, entitled, under the rule; to cast 218 votes-16 MORE than TWO TIERDs of a Full Convention. Let them know that, on the second ballot, STEPHEN A. Dc•uot..ks, received 181 k votes of the 218, over FORTY more than TWO-THIRDS of the whole vote present. And then, to clinch all, let them know, that the resolution declaring STEPHEN A. DOHCLAS to be the unanimous choice of the Convention, passed without a single dissenting voice; so that Stephen A. Douglas actually received 218 votes—SIX TEEN votes more, than two-thirds of a full Convention Let the People know, too, that the Seceders' Convention which nominated Breckinridge and Lane had no authority from any constit uency to sit at Baltimore outside of the regu lar Convention—that it did not contain more than eighty or ninety delegates who had even a shadow of authority from the people to act —that it cast in all but 105 votes—not one of them properly authorized, or binding on any body—let them know this, and let them decide which was the Regular and which was the Disorganizers' Convention, and which of the nominees, Douglas or Breckinridge, is enti tled to the undivided support of the National Democracy. Hoaxed. Somebody has been hoaxing the editor of the Bedford Inquirer by telling him that a man in this place has been boasting that he would spend $20,000 to defeat Wharton and elect Scott, and the poor dupe has been green enough not only to listen to it but to publish it. Why everybody here knows that half the amount would be considered " a good thing" by the Col., and if he was wanted off, that much would soon " fetch him." We have heard of the Moon being made of green cheese. What kind of green stuff is that editor made of ? ler' From every section of the county we have good news of the strength of our county ticket. The good men of the Opposition feel that they deserve defeat with the ticket forced upon them by the Wharton managers. The best men should always he selected for im portant positions of trust. If both parties will not nominate such men, the party failing should be punished by defeating its candidates. ,fly A gentleman who lives in 'Montgom ery, Alabama, and who is a client of Mr. Yancey, states that Alabama will give ten thousand majority for Douglas. ATTACTI'T EXECUTIONS, EXECUTIONS, The Huntingdon Journal and American, and John Scott It seems to be awkward work for our neighbors of the Journal and American to find something to urge against John Scott the Democratic candidate for Senate. They admit he is "a good lawyer and an upright citizen." The contrast between him and his competitor might be shown in both these re spects by republishing the articles upon the character of Col. Wharton which appeared in the Journal three years ago when ho was a candidate, when his party revolted at the idea of supporting such a nominee, and when one of the present editors of the Journal and American had control of that paper. These articles might show what rep utation the Col. has succeeded in making at the bar in thirty years, and might also show why it was that Andrew Friodly ran so many votes in Walker township when the Cu!. was a candidate. But that work has been done by his own party friends and we may give them the benefit of it. But our neighbors say that Mr. Scott is a salaried officer of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and that be is unpopular for sev eral reasons. He has been the counsel of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for several years, and we suppose this fact is mentioned because it-is thought by those editors that his conduct as a legislator would be influenced by that relation. We can see no other reason for it. Now there are jurors all over Hun tingdon county who will remember that Mr. Scott's voice has been heard often in our Court sustaining the rights of individuals against this Company, and if anything could be argued from professional relations, it would be as fair to - say that his feelings are against the Company as for it. 'His employment by that Company to try their eases is a high trib ute to his standing and ability as a lawyer, but those who know Mr. Scott, know that no st. , •h relation could influence his action upon a measure of public policy. If it could it would be hard to tell what his opinions are, for we suppose his clients have been of every creed and every party : He is possessed of a bold and manly independence, and we know that when any party seeks to influence his ac tion by any other consideration than a sense of right, he will find bow far he has mistaken the man. There is also a low unprincipled insinua tion that Mr. Scott despises laboring men. A more unfounded inuendo never found its way into types, and this we think the labor ing men of the county will show at the elec tion. The intelligent honest laboring men know who are their true friends, and appeals to their prejudices will not answer in these days. Mr. Scott himself has Veen a laboring man all his life. He commenced his busi ness life in this county and there are hun dreds who know that from the day he took charge of his father's business, and worked at it himself, down to the present, whether it was in the shop, or the office, he has been the industrious hard:working:man. If there is a man in the county who respects and treats as a gentleman the industrious honest working man of every calling, that man is John Scott. He may not pander to the vices or whims of some people about this town'who would wish to be called working men, but who put in their time lounging on boxes or corners or in worse places" He would not do it to secure his election ; besides he has not time to follow that business, as some others do, but is em ployed in attending to the real business which the farmers, working and business men of this county hitte so largely entrusted to his hands. A few more such low insinuation of falsehood will only tend to arouse Mr. Scott's friends to action. Anything else contained in the article referred to is unworthy of no tice. His popularity will be subjected to a better test than the opinion of the editors of the Journal and American, and to that we commit it. Foster's Election Certain The editor of the Ebensburg Monntainecr says the election of General Foster is now rendered certain. Even the Republicans, at length, can deny it no longer, and admit the fact. Mr. Kopelin, in his speech at the Re publican meeting admitted that the Bell and Evertett vote would be cast for General Fos ter, which must secure his election by a tri umphant majority. • And why should he not be ? He is known and admitted to combine in his person every virtue that adorns and dignifies human na ture. Pure, honest, and unpretending, his name will shed honor upon the future history of the Keystone and his administration will revive the purest and best days of the Com monwealth. His political record is equally pure.— Wherever the course of party has driven oth ers,Gen. Foster - has always stood firm for the interests of Pennsylvania, and the advance ment of her honor, His Tar ff speech, which was made when he was never thought of for Governor, was one of the most able and elo quent efforts in behalf of our interests ever delivered in Congress. And in the present campaign we find him visiting Congress and using all his influence to procure a law giving adequate protection, while Curtin is strolling over the State mak ing corrupt bargains and begging votes. HON. W3I. ScnEt.r..—This gentleman has received the unanimous nomination for Con gress in the District composed of the counties of Bedford, Fulton, Franklin, Adams and Juniata. We hope he may be elected. SIV - Everybody and all their relations will be in town next week. Congressional Conference. The Democratic Congressional Conference for this Congressional District, met at the Foster House in Johnstown, on Monday the 11th inst., and its proceedings were as fol lows : Messrs. T. L. Murray, Theophilus Snyder and 0. A. Tram& produced credentials as representatives from Blair. Messrs. T. Cal lan, J. C. Noon and George Cupp from Cam bria ; Messrs. J. S. Miller, J. C. Seebler and Wm. Lewis from Huntingdon, and Lewis Liaity, 0; A. Heffley and H. G. Baer, from Somerset. On motion of Mr. Snyder, J. C. Sechler was elected President and Messrs. Licbty of Somerset, and Noon, of Cambria county Sec retaries. The Convention then on motion proceeded to nominate a candidate for Congress. Mr. Snyder nominated Mr. Archibald ,'Allister, of Blair county, and Mr. Noon nominated Gen. A. H. Coffroth, of Somerset, when Mr. Lichty of Somerset, presented the following letter from Gen. Coffroth declining a nomination which on motion was incorpo rated in the proceedings SOMERSET, Sept, Bth, 1860. To the Democratic Conferees of the 18th Congressional District : GENTLEMEN:—The Democratic County Con vention which assembled in this place on the 27th ult., placed me in nomination for Con gress. The action of the Democracy of Som erset county has met with an approving re sponse from many Democrats in the District. This mark of esteem places me under renewed obligations to my friends in this Congression al Destrict. While lam deeply indepted to them for this kindness, you will oblige me very much to withdraW my name from your consideration, and to nominate some other person as the candidate for Congress. In taking this step I am not influenced by a lack of zeal for any of the nominees, nor a deviating devotion to the great truths and un dying principles of the Democratic party.— But I decline that I may not occupy the posi tion of a candidate, but free to battle, and nerve the arms and cheer the hearts of the gallant men who are enlisted and engaged in the great struggle for the perpetuity of this Union, and the triumph of Democracy over Sectionalism and disunion. We have section alism in the North and disunion in the South. The ultimate result of this, will he the bring ing about of the " geographical discrimina tions," against which the people were warned by Washington in his farewell address. Then it is our duty as Democrats to unite and do all in our power to avert the threatening ca tastrophe. The triumph of the Dem6cracy will restore peace and harmony tope country, and the North and the South Ail renew the bonds of fellowship with indissoluble ties. The nominee of your conference will receive my cordial support. We will all go to work with a determination . to elect him. Yours Truly &c., A. 11. COFFROTII. The Convention then unanimously nomi nated Archibald M'Allister for Congress.— mress. Gen. Cuffroth being in town was unan imously requested to address the meeting and a committee appointed to wait upon him.— The Gen. in a neat speech earnestly recom mended the nominee and pledged himself to his support. The Convention then on motion adjourned, with three cheers for Gen. Cuff roth and three for the nominee. J. C. SECIILER, Pres LEWIS LIUHTY, t Secretaries. J. 0. NOON, Hear Hon. John L. Dawson ion. John L. Dawson, of Fayette county, was chairman of the Pennsylvania delegation in the Charleston and Baltimore Conventions —he continued to oppose the nomination of Douglas until he (Douglas) was nominated by a 'unanimous vote of the Convention, when Mr. Dawson declared it to be his duty as well as that of every other Democrat to give Doug las a united support. In a speech delivered by Mr. Dawson on the Ist inst., he says : I hold Judge Douglas by the default of the South, to have obtained the nomination of the Democratic party. As such nominee I support him. Throughout the whole strug gle which resulted in his nomination, I acted with the South, I recognized their constitu tional demands, but a portion of the South made common cause with a man who alone caused the trouble at Charleston, and whose purpose is charged to have been the dismem berment of the Union. Judge Douglas personally, and from the general character of the services rendered to his party and to the country, is eminently worthy of the high position for which he has been nominated. In the career of few pub lic men of this generation has been more thoroughly illustrated the noble quality of our free institutions. Sprung from the com mon ranks of life, he early exhibited a force of genius, an energy of character, and a cath olicity of heart, which won for him the con fidence of his fellow-citizens. A living com mentary upon the excellence of our institu tions, and the architect of his own splendid career, let us be true to him and to ourselves, by uniting cordially in his'support, inside of the party organization. Is He an Abolitionist ? The Republicans are constantly denying that Lincoln is tinctured with the bane of Abolitionism; but here is the testimony of one who appears to speak with understand ing. A correspondent of the New York State League, says : " Gerrit Smith spent an hour with me the other day, and among other things commen datory of Mr. Lincoln, said he was a pure Abolitionist at heart, and he was very anx ious that he should be elected. I, too, am an Abolitionist, of the old school ; and shall not 'only vote for Lincoln, but agree with Mr. Smith that every good man should desire his election. If Mr. Smith does not vote for Mr. Lincoln, he assured he will not vote against him ; for, though his potions are somewhat peculiar in the matter of voting, he will nev er vote against the ardent wishes of his heart." CAMERON COUNTY.—The seat of justice of this county, named after Gen. Simon Came ron, has been located at Shippen, by the Commissioners appointed by the Governor. Our Nominee for Congress. [From the Johnstown Echo.] ARCHIBALD MCALLISTBR, ESQ.—The Demo cratic Conferees of this Congressional district, met in this place on Monday and unanimous ly nominated the gentleman whose name heads this article. Our ticket is now full and complete, and all we have to do, is to go to work vigorously and elect every man on it. That Mr. McAllister is the proper man to present to the Democracy of Somerset, Cam bria, Blair and Huntingdon at this particular juncture, is manifest from the fact that he was the first and only choice of every Confer ee in the district. No man in the district could have been selected, who is so well cal culated to break in upon the Republican ranks. Mr. McAllister is well and favorably known. He is a gentleman of fine personal appear ance and decided ability, and is with all a true and thorough tariff man, and as such is entitled to the vote of every Democrat, and every man of every other party who is hon estly in favor of a tariff to protect the iron in terests of Pennsylvania. It is confidently be lieved that Mr. McAllister will beat Mr. Blair in his own county, and if Cambria, Somerset and Huntingdon go to work manfully in Mr. McAllister support, there can be no doubt abont his triumphant election. [From the Ebensburg Mountaineer.] CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEE.—The Democratic Congressional conference met at Johnstown, in pursuance of the published arrangement, on Monday last. Archibald McAllister, Esq., of Blair county, was unanimously nominated for Congress. 'Blair county was entitled to the candidate, and we feel certain that no better nomination could have been made. Mr. MCA. has, we believe, for many years been in the iron business, and is, of course, in favor of a protective tariff. eis a gen tleman of honesty, energy and fine business qualifications- We congratulate the democ racy in having so worthy a standard bearer. With the proper kind of efforts we feel assu red that Mr Mc A. can be elected. [From the Hollidaysburg Democratic Standard.] iteirWe have the gratifying fact to an nounce that Col. Archibald McAllister was unanimously nominated for Congress by the Democratic Conference of this District, which met at Johnstown on Monday last. Our opin ion of Col. McAllister's popularity has been expressed before ; but when we witness the enthusiasm that prevailed among the repre sentatives from the different counties, we were doubly satisfied that the choice of Blair coun ty was the man for the occasion, and the one entirely acceptable to the people. To the people of the district we would say, you now have a man before you who is every thing you want, "P -itch in" and elect him l [From the Hollidaysburg Register, Opposition.] Aer ARCIIIDA.LII MC ALLISTER, Esq., of Springfield Furnace in this county, has been nominated by the Democrats of the District as their candidate for Congress. Mr. McAl lister is a clever man, and a gentleman, and a thorough going Iron I♦'laster. Our Senatorial Nominee. [From tlicy Jobbstown Echo.] How. JonN SCOTT.—This gentleman has been nominated as a candidate for Senate by the Democracy of the Bedford, Somerset and Huntingdon Senatorial District. There are few more able men in Pennsylvania than Mr. Scott. We rejoice to hear of his nomi nation, and trust he may be elected, as he will be an honor to the party and his dis trict. [From tho Tyrone Star.] JOIIN SCOTT, Esq., of Huntingdon, has been nominated for the State Senate by the Democrats of the Bedford Senatorial Dis trict. Ile was nominated by declamation.— His personal popularity is very great, his in tegrity proverbial, and in capacity he stands confessedly without a rival. Stranger things than his election have happened. [From the Ebensburg Mountaineer.] par Jon 24 SCOTT, Esq., has been nomina ted as the Democratic candidate for State Senator in the Iluntingdon and Bedford dis trict., Mr. Scott is a distinguished lawyer, a thorough gentleman, and a true Democrat.— We sincerely hope that he may be elected. Keep it Before the People People of Pennsylvania Union-loving people of the old Keystone State—we desire to keep before you the sentiments of the Black Republican party— the sentiments which will govern the Administration,should Abraham Lincoln be elected President of the United States. Hear what Wm. H. Seward said in a speech delivered by him at Boston, • only a few days ago : "What a commentary upon the wisdom of man is given in this single fact, that fifteen years only after the death of John Quincy Adams, the people of the United States, who hurled him from power and from place, are calling to the head of the nation, to the very seat from which he was expelled, Abraham, Lincoln—[enthusiastic cheers] —whose claim, to that seat is that he confesses the obligations of that higher law—[applause]—which. the Sage of Quincy proclaimed,and that he avows himself, for weal or woe, for life or death, a soldier on the side of freedom in the irrepres sible conflict between lei-eedom, and Slavery. [Prolonged cheering.] 1 tell you fellow-cit izens, that with this victory conies the end of the power of Slavery in the United States." Says the Cincinnati Enquirer " This is unmitigated Abolitionism—an Abolitionism that contemns and repudiates the Constitution of the United States, and is governed by a higher law than that instru ment. Seward vouches for Lincoln. He knows him, and declares that his election will destroy slavery and precipitate upon the country four millions of free negroes. Dar Col. J. R. Hurd, the Democratic can didate for Register and Recorder in Hunting don county, is an old typo, a deuced clever fellow, and would make a most capital officer. If the good wishes of his hosts of friends up here could elect him, ho would "go in" by a thundering majority.—Hollidaysburg Stand. tar There is a single farm in Byram township, Sussex county, New Jersey, which has sent to the New York and Newark mar kets, the past year, five thousand pounds of butter ! 11 The average yield of oats in Somer set county, Pa., this season, is set down at SO bushels to the acre, and the weight forty five pounds to the bushel. z%.• A canary bird eighteen years old, died in Patterson, N. J., on Wednesday last. GREAT DEMOCRATIC BARBECUE 30;000 People in Council The New York papers are filled with ac counts of the great Democratic barbecue at Jones' Woods, New York, on Wednesday of last week. Stephen A. Dom;las and Herschel V. Johnson, and other distinguished Demo crats, addressed the immense crowd from several stands. We make room to-day for but a small por tion of the speech of Judge Douglas. In the course of his remarks the Judge said : Whenever any one of these Abolition States set up their unconstitutional laws as an excuse for resisting the Federal authorities, we will hang them higher than Haman for treason.— And, my fellow-citizens, it will not do for the Abolitionists to set up the plea that we are making war on the sovereignty of any State of this Union, merely because we are carry ing into execution in good faith, the Consti tution and laws of our country. So on the other hand, when the State of South Caroli na, in 1832, attempted to resist the laws of the United States for the collection of the public revenue, Old Hickory told them that they must and they should obey. [Tremen dons applause.] I wish to God we had Old Hickory now alive—[loud cheers]—in order that he might hang Northern and Southern traitors on the same gallows. [A scene of great confusion here followed. Hundreds of Democratic voices shrieked for three cheers for Stephen A. Douglas, our next President.] They have' determined to make the election of a Black Republican President that pretext and hence the real Disunionists favor the election of Lincoln, so that they may accom plish the dissolution of the Union. If Lin coln is elected it will be brought about by the agency of those who are now opposing the regular Democratic party. [Cheers.] In other words, his election will be brought about by the influence of those who seceded at Charleston, and again at Baltimore. Now, my fellow-citizens, I was about say ing to you that there is a scheme to break up this glorious Union. A Voice.—They can't do it. The pretext for doing so is to be the elec tion of Mr. Lincoln, and those who are genu ine disunionists desire his election. [Uproar and cheers.] But silence, my friends, if you please. Ido not charge all the Breckinridge men in the United States with being Dis unionists. [Cries of " Good," " Good."] I do not charge Mr. Beckinridge himself with being a Disunionist, but I do express my firm conviction that there is not a Dis unionist in America who is not a Breckin ridge man. [Applause.] And now, permit me to inquire of them that while they put these questions to me, whether the election of Lincoln would be a good cause, of disunion, why do nut they propound the same questions to their candidate ? My answers to these in terrogatories at Ntirfolk, Va., were published in Kentucky, and Mr. Breckinridge 's special attention must fall to them six or eight days before his Lexington speech. In that speech he answered the charge that he was in favor of pardoning John Brown. [lronical cheers and laughter.] He answered the charge that he was in favor of self-government in the Terri tories. lie professed great attachment to the Constitution and the Union. But I have yet been unable to learn whether or not he would enforce the laws against those who would at tempt to break up the Government. It is not satisfactory to me that a man says he is in favor of the Union. I have heard Barn well Rhett make the same declaration. I have heard W.L..Yancey declare his devotion to the Union. I have heard all the leaders of the Disunion party make the same protes tation, but they all admit that while — they are favorable to the Union, yet there is a " contingency" upon which they would dis solve. Now, I desire to know of Major Breckinridgo whether the "contingency" stated by his electoral friends in Vtrginia their inquiries to me, is the one upon which he would dissolve the Union. I am in favor of a cordial union of every Union man, very constitutional man, every man who desires the preservation of the Union and the Constitution and the enforcement of the laws in every and all contingencies.— [Loud cheers.] If Major Brockinridge is in favor of enforcing the laws against Disuni on ists, seceders, Abolitionists, and all other classes of men, in the event the election does ' not result to suit him, then I am willing— [great applause]—but I tell you that I am utterly opposed to any union or any fusion with any man or any party who will not en force the laws, maintain the Constitution, and preserve the Union in all contingencies. Now, if my excitable friend wishes to know whether his man Breckinridge is inside of the church, he must get an answer from that gentleman himself through the Norfolk ques tions. [Renewed laughter.] When be an swers, and pledges himself to enforce the laws in the contingencies named in the Norfolk in terrogatories to me, it will be time enough to talk about he and I. fusing or eoaleseing.— [Three cheers.] Believing that this Union is in danger, I will make any personal sacri fice to preserve it. ICries of "Good," and three cheers] If the withdrawal of my name would tend to defeat Mr. Lincoln I would this moment withdraw it [Voices—"you shall not do it l" "NoI" " Never 11 more especially if such an act of mine would insure the election of a man pledged to the Consti tution, the Union, and the enforcement of the laws. [Cheers.] The Democratic party is a great political party. Its proud achievements will be found recorded on every page of American history, and every great reform introduced into our civil policy has been mainly owing to its power and efforts. Every extension of our territory has been a Democratic measure, and all those great commercial enterprises for which the U. States have becameso renowned are Democratic triumphs. But still I ad here to the old Democratic party, within whose bosom I was born, more for its capa city to do good in the future than for its great achievements in the past. I believe that this Union can only be main- i tained by putting down all sectional parties. It is not enough if you put down Northern Abolitionism, unless you crush out and bury in the same grave Southern Disunion. ["Good" and cheers.] The great political question now involved is that of intervention and non intervention by Congress with slavery in the Territories. The Northern interventionists demand that Congress shall prohibit slavery wherever the people want it; . the Southern Secessionists demand that Congress shallpass laws to maintain and protect slavery wher ever the people do not want it. Thus you find that both of them are advocates of Congres sional intervention--the one in favor of the South, n the other in favor of the North ; the one for slavery, the other against it. They agree in principle, but they differ only in the application- of that principle.. pGOD SAVE THE Con lONWEALTIL ROC LAMATION.-NOTICE OF GENERAL ELECTION.--Pursuant to an act of the Gen eral Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, entitled "An Act relating to the Elections of this Com monwealth." approved the second day of July,lBso, I, JOHN C, 'WATSON, High Sheriff of the county of Hun tingdon, in the State of Pennsylvania, do hereby make known and give public notice to the electors of the said county of Huntingdon, that an election will be held in the said county on the SECOND TUESDAY, (and 9th• day) of OCTOBER, 1659, at which time, State and County officers, as follows, will be elected, to wit : One person to'fill the office.of Governor, of the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania.
