The Horse Contractors again Waked
Up,
Our notice last week of the

meat of Democratic Delegates to the
next Democratic State Convention to
put in nomination a candidate for Gov
crhor has set the hounds of the Moni
tor office to yelping again more fiercely
than ever. They think we have no
right to interfere in their attempt to
control the Democratic party of the
county to their own pecuniary inter
est S-r-to their own
,selfish purposes.—
We have not yet abandoned the Dent-,
()erotic party to the care and keeping
of men who have never had the confi
dence of the party. And' whether we
support the nomineesof the party or
not, wo shall at all times feel it our
duty to keep the voters advised of the
sneaking trickery of the,corrupt men
who aspire 'to 1)e their leaders. The
- loaders of the Republican party may
also expect that we Will give their
movements the same careful attention.
We are no party organ—N}'o have no
one party to serve. The times de-,
Mond an independent paper=a paper
not under the control of party leaders
---ta paper that dare expose the-alMses
dtpOrty—a, paper with open columns
fo`the people thrOugh which they can
demand their .rights. The Monitor
clique need not, feel uneasy for fear we
may want to take part'in their "Dem
ocratic" Conventions. The Democrat
ic party of the county will have to
change its leaders before we could be
expected to support its decrees. Too
Many of them stink too strong of se

...No, no; . 1.17, Monitor, you need
no - t- bo-ofroi..l _xvo oono__ nelz Poo -o

soon think of joining Alie Rebel army,
as of following such ,leaders—and we
know there are hundreds of Democrats
in the county who have the same opin
ion of the 'Monitor " Domoe'racy " we
have, and it is for them to act—to act
boldly and save their party from sink
ing under the weight of corruption and
treason that is now pressing it down.
What should be the first Step to 'ho
taken by the Democracy of the coun
ty , They have been advised of the
fitbt - that the Democratic County Corn-
mittee has appointid two delegates to
go to Harrisburg next 'spring to nomi
nate a candidate 'for Governor ! Del
egates for such a puirpose have never
before been appointed by a Committee.
The - men who Managed the action of
the Committee knew they were not
carrying out the usage of the party,
but' hey wanted to be the Delegates
for ayailicular put pose, and they'were
not willinu to trust to the action of a
County Convention—and they will not
allow; the ,Chairman of the County
Committee to call, a Convention in
January to elect Delegates. Then
What „,course should the Democracy,
Who are not willing to be ruled by dis
honest political tricksters, pursue ?

" IVnY single out men who never
harmed you, and persecute THEn be
cause WE," &c.—Albert Owen.
The plan adoptid by the cut-throats
who were instrumental in establishing
the Monitor offlee*,,.doiappear to,
work to their entire satisfaction.—
They had been Working secretly .
throughout - the countrY against us for
some years (some of them not as long
as others, for they are not very old in
the party), supposing we were igno
rant of their mean, cowardly conduct.
They finally determined, after we
would not defend their conduct in the
horse speculation, to establish the Ilron
itor, through which they could circu
late their fidsehoods and attempt to
cover up their rascality. No one of
the interested party would venture to
expose himself by taking the position
of editor. Albert Owen, always am=
bitiOns for notoriety, offered his servi
ces and was accepted. Albert bad
nothing to loose, politically or other
wise, so he was not running a risk of
losing very much. Albert jest suited a
majority of the party employing him,
for, like them, he had worked faith
fully for the advancement of the Know
Nothing party, having come to this
county with all the necessary docu
ments, instructions and authority for
opening Know Nothing lodges. Know
Nothingism fell through, and we next
find Albert acting as Agent for the
New York Day Book, and from his
daily conversation, no one doubted his
willingness to serve the rebels faith
fully. Albert was the man for the po
sition of editor. Ile agreed to father
all articles published in the ..lronitor as
editorial, and this was an arrangement
that just suited his masters, as .they
could escape responsibility for articles
they might write. But Albert, like
Bigler, is afflicted with the weakness
of the knees, and in the absence of one
of his masters, gave way under a hea
vy pressure which seriously damaged
his character as a bold, daring man.—
" WE " was no longer Albert On-en—
lie had lot the big tout cat out of the
bag, and " WE" was David Caldwell,
!ESQ., We will givu,thc °ll:lc:nee that
" WE " in the Hoakr is not at 'all
times Albert Owen. The Monitor
published an editorial article attack
ing the reputation of the Jackson
House and its proprietor, Col. Grafflus
Miller, simply because he would not
support Caldwell for Sheriff. When
Owen was called upon by Mr. Miller
for an explattation, he replied that he
was not the only editor of the paper,
that ho did not write the article, and
promised to give up the name of the
writer of the editorial. Two days af
ter, OW en handed Mr. Miller the fol

Huntingdon, Oct. 31, 1562.
Graflius Esq :—The article in
the last " Xonitor,' headed " Short
Catechism," was written by David
Caldwell, Esq., and published contrary
to my advice.
Very Respectfully,
ALBERT OWEN,
:Editor of the 3/onit,i»
P. S.—lt is expected you , will not
use this information through the news
papers. A. OWEN.
Here is the evidence that Albert
Owen is not " WE " of the Monitor.=
And as further evidence that he has
not control of the editorial columns of
that paper, ho promised that justice
should be done Mr. Miller in the next
issue, but to this day no retraction has
been made. Ca/dwell & Co. would not
allow it to be done, and now Mr. Miller
is justified in permitting us to publish
Owen's note, which of itself convicts
him of being nothing more than a
mere machine, and a poor ono at that,
in the hands of as cowardly a set of
scamps as ever disgraced any party or
community.
" Tho idea' of calling a new Conven
tion for the sole purpose of choosing
delegates to a State Convention, when
there is a regular committee appoint.
ed to attend to the business of the
party—is simply and utterly ridicu
lous."—Monitor.
- It is simply and utterly ridiculous,
is, it, for the party to ask for tho cal
ling of a Convention to elect delegates?
County Committees are not appointed
to' attend to all the buSiness of a par
ty. :Their most important business is
to call' Conve4lons, and that duty has
nevel• been neglected by any conimit
tee, during the last twenty years when
delegates were to ho chosen to , refire ,
sent the party in a State 'o:invention
to nominate, a candidate for Governor.
Why . ohject,, - Mr.2fonitor, to a Conven
tion at January Court ? Ave you
afraid that Convention night imstruct
for some „man not tho.choleo . of your
faction—for some man who would not
stoop to'buy his nomination ? Be hon
est 'with your party. Direct the
Chairman or your County Committed
to call a Convention. You need not
be afraid the Convention will not bo,
full. There are a hundred Democrats
in the, dimity who would*, willing to
accept the honor of being electi`d
dele
gates to tho newt State Convention,—
men;quitens honest, and as-competent
as those appointed by the Committee.
Give your party a chance to be heard,
and you will Very soon ascertain that
although you• May think it "simply
and utterly ridiculous" to call a Con
vention, your party will, not think so.

GEN. CASS has 'written a letter to
the President, conveying his fullest
approval of the removal of Gen. Mc-
Clellan.
EZ3ESEES
TILE Monitor faction should know by
this time that they -can not an us
down. gotrie of tto old slang-whang
ers have been ertgliged in the same bu
siness for se' eral years, but they have
met, With but trifling success. All
their talk., about , us having been
"bought and sold as often as we have
fingers and toes," amounts to nothing,
as they cannot sustain the charge in a
single, instance. We do not deny,
however, that efforts have been made
to buy us. Some years ago, at the
time of the last " big break" in the
canal above town, "Little Mifflin "
played a conspicuous part in plunder
ing the State. We denounced the
thieves. Gen... P. Wilson, Attorney
for, or partner in the plundering firm,
did attempt to buy us to " whitewash "
the rascality of the firm. He failed in
his attempt, and ever since then he
has been fighting the Globe. At an
other time, Win. Colon offered us $2O
to support Porter for Supreme Judge,
but we continued to oppose Porter to
the day of election. President Bu
chanan, through Jeremiah S. Black,
offered to continue us in the Post Of
fice if we would cease advocating the
sale of the Public Works of the State.
We continued to advocate thesale, and
lost the Post Office, worth to us SSOO
a year. A year ago ono of the horse
contractors, who is now ono of the ed
itors and principal stockholders of the
..lionitor, offered to buy us to re his
blind, spavined, aged and wind-broken
horses, Our record will show that the
honest contractor did not succeed in
buying us. All the efforts ever made
to buy or bell us, have been made by
men now connected with the Monitor
faction, and because they have discov
ered that we can neither be bought nor
sold to answer their purposes, they
have determined to crush us out, if
possible. Time will tell what influence
such men as now control the " Deino
cratic organ" have in this county.
The Committee acted according to
the usage of the party in former years.
Give us the:evidence, Irfr. ..11ottifor.—
When was there a delegate appointed
by i County Committee to attend a
State Convention called for the pur
pose of putting in nomination a candi
date foe Governor? As you, Albert
Owen, have but lately came into the
party, you had better consult some
older member who will be able to re
member back beyond the time whop
you were a prominent leader in Know
Nothingism. Your assertion may pull
the wool over the eyes of a few of your
readers who htive no will of their own,
but it cannot deceive men who hare
given some attention to their political
rights. Give us the evidence that the
Committee acted according to the
usage of the party.
" Why abuse and traduce citizeiTh•
who have no connection with any p
per, or means of defence.—Monitor.
This is a pretty question for the ed-:
itors of the humbug Monitor to put to
us. We have not abused any friend
of that sheet who is not part owner of
the establishment, and who can be
heard at any time through the editori
al columns of that paper. Its editors
are numerous, including men of every
political character, Know Nothing, Ab
olitionist, Secessionist, and blind-of-an
eye Democrats. Such men should not
attempt to control Democrats—to ad
vise them as to what course they
should pursue to save the Democratic
party. Will honest DemoCrats take
the trouble to inquire into the political
character of the men who own and
control the Monitor establishment?—
They aro a set of speculators who
would sell the inlay at any time for a
fat Government contract. -
TIIa ..lioniter says. we are " always
dying, yet never dead." That's so.—
Some years ago, the same faction pre
dicted that we were certainly dying,
and they wore so sure wo woulil go
dead, that they went to the, expense of
establishing The Union to take our
place. We lived, and The. Union went
dead. They have again started an
organ to kill us off, and already they
discover that there is a possibility of us
outliving the Monitor. They hare us
"always 'dying," yet they never find
us dead. As the health of the Globe
is now, better than it ever has been,
we won't die to please the dirtifaction.
r.llitotlau, of the Hollidaysburg Stan
dard, got his mad up last week and
pitched into our sour-trout tub with a
will. Because ire are fond of sour
crout he thinks we should - not under

Trough, has always professed to be a
strong jntrty man, right or 'wrong, but
a certain influence:staggered him dar
ing the late campaign, and - he found
himself and his strong party friends
all opposing the Democratic candidate
for the State Senate. It is not like
ly that Trough will have the impu
dence hereafter to lecture Democrats
for ..not sticking to their ticket. If
they should follow tho example, he has
sot theth, and should oven vote for Si
mon Cameron for United States Sena

mouth, for he favored the election of a
candidate who would have voted for
Simon. Poor Trough has got himself

3f:dor-General Ambrose Everett
Burnside, at present comMander of
the Army of the Potomac, was born
in Liberty, a small town in Union co.,
Ind., Slay 23, 1824. Re entered the
Military Academy in 1842, and gradu
ated No. 18 in a class of thirty-eight,
1847, taking brevet rank and pay of a
2il Lieutenant in the 2d U. S. Artille
ry. September, 1847, Lieutenant
Burnside was promoted to a full sec
ond lieutenancy in Company C, 3d
Artillery, since rendered famous as
" Bragg's Battery," Bragg himself be
ing then Captain of it. With this bat
tery, Lieut. Burnside marched in Gen.
Patterson's Division to the city ofMex
ice, and remained there until the close I
of the Mexican war. At the outbreak of
the rebellion, at the request of Gov.
Sprague, he assumed the Coloneley of
the Ist Rhode, Island Volunteers.—
This regiment did good service in the
first battle of Bull Bun, its colonel act
ing as a brigadier general of the sec
ond brigade, the second division. Af
ter this, he was appointed brigadier
general of volunteers, his commission
being dated Gth of August, 1861. Of
the celebrated "Burnside Expedition "
to North Carolina, nothing need be
said. At the battle of Antietam, in
September last, Gen. Buruside's corps
d'armce performed a highly important
part, and gained new laurels. He is
regarded as one of the best officers in
the service, and will no doubt give sat
isfitetion in the new and important po
sition to which he has been called.
Tin: Secretary of War has ordered
the release of all political prisoners,
except such as have been in arms
against the Government, or have of
fered resistance to the draft for mili
tia. This order will be received with
satisfaction. Many of the persons con
fined in the forts and other military
prisons, are harmless. Some of the
arrests have been made use of by politi
cians, who wished to damage the Gov
ernment, and who declared that they
were arbitrary and despotic. The
facts hare been magnified and distort
ed, and in that shape have been made
the texts for some °Nile most violent
diatribes of the - English press against
our Government. Moreover, the eon
dition of the country is such that trai
tors among us have bat little power to
do They can still be watch
ed, while at iurge, and the Government
is saved the expens2 of supporting
them, while it deprives them of,those
silly claims to a crown of martyrdom,
which some of them and their friends
