OIR XOni VEE FOR € O\(,KESS.
On Tuesday of last week, at thesugges- j
tion of the Mifflin Conferees, the Union \
Conference for this Congressional District j
met at Tyrone, Blair county, and organ- j
ized. Cambria, Blair and Mifflin were ,
fully represented, but the Huntingdon
Conferees were not present. The Con- !
ference, after consulting, adjourned to '
meet at Huntingdon the same evening.—
At the adjourned meeting the Hunting
don Conferees presented themselves, and
the Conference at once proceeded to nom
inate a candidate for Congress. On the !
first ballot Cambria and Blair voted for i
Mr. Morrell, Huntingdon for Capt. Brice
X. Blair, and Mifflin for Col. Taylor. On
the second ballot Cambria and Blair, and
Mr. Mendenhall from Mifflin, (7) voted
for Mr. Morrell, Huntingdon (3) for Cap
tain Blair, and Messrs. Woods and Henry
of Mifflin (2) for Col. Taylor. Mr. Mor
rell was then declared the unanimous
choice of the conferees.
The nomination of Mr. Morrell is one
eminently fit to be made, and without in
tendingto detract from the merits of those
who have represented the district, we
think we can safely predict that he will
prove an honor to his constituents. The
floodgates of party vituperation and de
traction will of course be let loose upon
him, and we shall also hear the stale old
cry of "iron nabob," &c.: but in this case
such silly stuff will but react on its au
thors. Our district is emphatically an
iron district, and with that interest our
prosperity is involved to a far greater ex
tent than most people imagine. Mr. Mor
rell's letter to the Iron and Steel Associa
tion, written a year ago when he was no
candidate, which will be found in our pa
per to-day, is so appropos to this subject,
that we commend its perusal to all class
es, and especially to workingmen.
To meet objections which have already
been bruited around, we will state that
Mr. Morrell came to Philadelphia when
but twelve j ears of age and has ever since
been a citizen of Pennsylvania—that
through honesty, probity and untiring in
dustry, he has risen in j>osition to the
head of the largest iron establishment in
the United States, in the management of
which he has secured the good will and
esteem of ninety-nine out of every hund
red persons in his employment, and that
even those who have differed from him
through strikes or other combinations,
have never assailed his motives or integ
rity.
In proof also that what we have said is
neither flattery nor adulation, we may
here state what we have often heard, that
his regard for the welfare of workingmen
has shown itself in acts which reflect the
highest credit upon his kindness and be
nevolence. Among these is the fact that
he advanced means to many of the em
ployees of the Cambria Iron Works to
erect dwellings upon vacant lots they had
bought, and that he only required a pay
ment of ten dollars a mouth upon sums
so advanced, charging no interest what
ever —thus enabling all industrious men
to secure homes of their own by paying a
monthly rent for a few years.
In bringing these matters to public
view, we feel assured we are doing what
Mr. Morrell would decidedly object to;
but as political wireworkers who oppose
him would and will assail any man, how
ever worthy, who may be placed in their
road, we meet assaults in advance, and
challenge contradiction from any authen
tic source.
The Pittsburgh Commercial, in noti
cing the result of the conferee meeting,
says:
A Good Xominafioii. —The nomination
of Daniel J. Morrell, Esq., in the Seven
teenth Congressional District, is eminent
ly one tit to lie made. Mr. Morrell is one
of the most extensive manufacturers in
our country, and understands thoroughly'
the interests of Labor and Capital :is al
fected by legislation. On the tariff ques
tion there are few more earnest or able
advocates for protection for American In
dustry. His personal qualities and his
many undoubted qualifications will com
mand for him an extensive influence, and
open a field of usefulness in the body to
which, although the district is a close one,
we do not question he will he chosen.
The Lock Haven Democrat announces
the following programme for the fall elec
tions :
"In those districts where the strength
of the administration is sufficient to de
mand it, undoubtedly Johnson candidates
for Congress and the State Legislature
may he run, who will receive the support
of democrats. In other districts where
the Republican majority can be overcome
by the adhesion of Johnson men to the
democratic candidates, the friends of the
administration have no other course open
to them than either to support the nomi
nees of the party with whom they sub
stantially agree in principle, or by the in-*
traduction of third candidates into the
field to divert from the Republican force
what strength they can, and lay the found
ation for future operations."
This is precisely what has been going
on in this district; and to show how little
regard is paid to common honesty, truth,
and self-respect, we state the fact that
sundry Johnsonites who are now election
eering for an independent candidate for
the legislature, attended the republican
delegate election, and in answer to the
question whether they would support the
nominees said they would, on which their
votes were taken ! When such unblush
ing and barefaced depravity is exhibited,
what confidence can any democrat or
copperhead place in them, or what securi-
ty will they have that they will not also j
be cheated in the end ?

August 2, 1806 : 1
f'. S. Grout, General, Washington, D. C.: j
The more information I obtain'of the:
affair of the 30th, in this city, the more j
revolting it becomes. It was not riot: it j
was an absolute massacre by the police, i
which was not excelled in murderous
cruelty by that of Fort Pillow. It was a
murder which the Mayor and police of j
the city perpetrated without the shadow
of a necessity. Furthermore, I believe it :
was premeditated, and every indication !
points to this. I recommend the remov- j
ing of this bad man. I believe it would I
be hailed with the sincerest gratification j
by two-thirds of the population of the
city. There has been a feeling of iusecu- j
rity on the part of the people here, on ac
count of this man, which is now so much i
increased, that the safety of life and prop- j
erty does not rest with the civil authori- j

An important discovery of a species of
darkly variegated MAKBLK has been made

of a rich mahogany color, and suscepti
ble of the finest polish, can lie obtained
from the quarry. There is a fine field for
enterprise in this business, and if, as is
said, it exists in large quantities, such a
quarry would be worth more than an oil

THE NEW PARTY MEETING.— There
is no longer any democratic party in Mif
flin county, the wireworkers having so
managed it that they no longer call meet
ings under its old name, and are thus
gradually merging the democracy into
Johnsonism, just as the old whig party
lost itself in Know-Nothingism. Well,
good-by old fellows —we are sorry for you;
but cannot help saying you have sold
yourselves dog cheap, as one or two may
get a bone to pick or a shank to gnaw,
but all offices worth having are to go into
the hands of those convenient gentlemen
who can cry "amen" to anything the
"tinderman" at Washington may say or
do. The honest portion will of course cut
loose from such unblushing political pros
titution. and finding a party that stood
by the country through good and evil re
port in the late trying times, with a
platform just to all sections, will vote
with that party. We shall welcome them
to it; though they may find Union Re
publicans have hangers-on, camp-follow
ers, office-hunters, &<•., like the democra
cy that was, yet the mass are honest, true
and patriotic, just as was the mass of de
mocracy until false leaders and ambitious
men misled them. The last shameless
move in attempting to sell them to John
sonism will we hope remove the scales,
and enable them to see that their leaders
are carrying them forward to another
Southern rebellion, just as they did under
Buchanan.
This new party held a meeting in the
Town Hall on Monday evening, and af
ter a vast amount of drumming, button
holing, soft-soap and palaver, organized
by appointing Samuel Aurand President,
James Burns, Judge Coplin and other
fledgelings Vice Presidents, Ac. Joseph
Alexander, Esq., was called upon to ex
plain the object of the meeting, but in the
midst of it had to give way to E. D. Par
ker, Esq., of Mifflintown, who with a
slight change of names delivered nearly
the same cockalorum speech he made in
the diamond in 1864, when he said two
millions of men would not submit to the
re-election of Abraham Lincoln. Now,
as then, he apologized for traitors and
treason; now, as then, he advocated
southern rights; now, as then, he de
nounced the men and measures which
put down the rebellion ; now, as then, he
inculcated the idea that the North was
wrong and the South right; now, as then,
talked of blood and carnage in the future
as glibly as did the canaille of St. An
toine in Paris in 1792; now, as then, f
miliarized his hearers to the destruction
ot' law and order, as though our govern
ment could withstand the teachings of
history ami not fall PIO anarchy and con
fusion if those elements are once let loose.
Against Gen. Geary he had wisely noth
ing to say, probably feeling that to laud
a Vallandigliam copperhead like Clymer
and disparage a noble soldier, might car
ry his assaults too far. The best thing he
did was to rea 1 the Constitutional Amend
ments, and though lie desired to make it
appear that southern traitors would lie
craven to submit to them, lie fade ! to sat
isfy a single sensible man thai lliey were
not right. just to all white men, and len
ient ami magnanimous to those guilty of
the high crime of treason. He was fol
lowed by Messrs. Dotv and I'ttley in
some small potato remarks, when the
meeting adjourned about as wise as when
they went there.
