As our rcader3 are well aware, the Loco
Foco State Convention which assembled at
Reading, on the 29th ult., nominated Hon.
Henry D. Foster, of Westmoreland county,
for Governor. Thus the State campaign is
now fairly opened, and full opportunity is
given to the political press to discuss the
merit and demerits of the men who aspire
to gubernatorial preferment. We trust
this may bo dune freely and fairly on both
sides, and that the political sentiments en
tertained and avowed by the rival candi
dates, as well as their personal qualifications-,
may be duly considered and set
forth. If the truth thus brought out
happen to injure any candidate or any
rartv. there can be no iust cause of com
plaint. Those who do the voting should
vote understandingly ; and if they do so
vote, we have no fears its to the result in
the contest of October.
Against the private character of Ilcnry
D. Foster we will not say one word. We
could not if we would ; we would not if
we could. Prudence, if nothing else,
would prompt us to pursue this course.
Here where he is known, we should have
but little to gain by a personal attack upon
Henry I). Foster. Politics aside, he is a
general favorite with our citizens, and his
tituess for the office for which he has been
nominated, is unquestioned. Rut while
we concede to him many good qualities,
we must not forget to take a slight peep
at his political principles. For it is not
Henry D. Foster the man, but Henry 1).
Foster the politician, that we have to deal
with in the campaign in which we have
engaged. And here let us say, that in
politics he is in very bad company. Ever
tincc we have known him, he has been
an active, working, prominent, uncompro
mising member of the Loco-Foco Party ;
a fact which, standing by itself, is suffi
cient to damn him in the estimation of
every sincere and enlightened patriot.
It may bo that, at times, his conscience
has checked him, and he has refused to
endorse the conduct of those who would
force Slavery upon an unwilling people
So much the worse for him now, when he
consents to be their champion ; so much
the worse for Lim now, when, as their
standard-bearer, ho endeavors to rally that
old party which, upon that very issue, was
rent into fragments. As the nominee of
the Loco-Foco State Convnfion, he is
placed upon no platform for the Conven
tion made none for him. Utit in accept
ing the nomination, he takes down Loeo
Focoisni at a gulp. Ho winks at ex
ecutive usurpation, shuts his eyes to
Kansas outrage?, connives at fraud aud
corruption, and bends his neck to Southern
domination. "Who will vote for such a
man ! Nobody but a Lcco-Fccrt.
It is tirged by certain Loco-Poeos, tliat
beeause lie is well known here, Henry D.
Foster will run a large vote tit the coming
election. This is a magnificent mistake.
If the gubernatorial question were the only
one in the present campaign, it would not
be true. The members of the People's
Party have a man of their own to support;
a man who is not only equal to Henry Pa
Foster in everything but Loeo-Pocoism,
but who in almost every respect is hi.s
superior. That mau is Andrew G. Curtin ;
a man whoso record is clear and whose
principles are right. Around his standard
all the members of the People's Party of
Cambria County will rally, and if any
votes are lost in the canvass, he will assu
redly gain them. Xo one but a Loco-Foeo
will throw away his vote by supporting
Henry 1). Foster. Ever' member of cur
glorious Party feels the importance of elect
ing Andrew (J. Curtin, not merely because
of his pualiueations, his merits or his prin
ciples, but because upou that event may
turn the election of a Republican President.
Hon. S. S. IHuir.
We, in common with many others, have
had the pleasure during the present week
of taking by the hand our able and worthy
Representative in Congress, Hon. S. S.
Rlair, who has been in attendance at our
Courts. Although the present is the first
session that Mr. Ulair has been in Congress,
yet it is conceded upon all hands, that he is
one of the most active and most useful mem
bers in that body. The Standing Commit
tee upon which he has been placed is one
of great importance, and involves duties
which, in their performance, are exceed
ingly laborious. In addition to this, he
ha3 been appointed a member of the Pacif
ic Rail Road Committee, a position which
he is admirably qualified to fill, and one
which is of no small moment to the people
of our Iron District. We rest satisfied,
that in this as well as every other matter
relating to the common weal, 3Ir. Rlair
will discharge his duties with acceptance
to his constituents and credit to himself.
He is emphatically a Representative, and
as we have reason to know whether he
be met at home or at the Capitol of the
Nation, he is a gentleman.

CHAPTER III.
General Description.
A very incorrect impression prevails in
regard to the soil of Cambria county. All
the books upon the subject state that -'.the
soil along the streams is unproductive;
and elsewhere rugged and cold." The re
verse of this is actually tho ease. A large
portion of our upland is equal to that of
the valley of the Juniata, producing
wheat, corn, and particularly buckwheat,
oats, aud potatoes, iu the greatest abun
dance; while the vicinity of the streams
is wet and cold, being much better adap
ted for pasturage than for grain. The
agricultural productions of the county do
not supply its inhabitants, though in some
particular articles, such as potatoes and
butter, the supply exceeds the demand.
The storms of winter, which arc here ex
perienced in the greatest violence, strip
the fields cf their coat of snow, and expose
the wheat to the action of the frost; and
this important grain is; to use a familiar
term, 4frozeu out."
The best wheat-growing portions of the
county are the ''Ornish" and "Goughuour"
hills in Conemaugh, the table lauds on
both sides of the Conemaugh creek in
SummcihUl, the dividing ridge between
Concmatigh and Chest in Cambria and
Allegheny townships, the Chest Hill iu
Clearfield township, and the ''Glasgo" set
tlement in White township. Thebc-dcorn
is produced in the Southern portion of the
count". The other productions are equally
abundant wherever the soil has been equal
ly tested.
The CLIMATE of Cambria county is much
more severe than that of the counties East
or West in the same degree of latitude.
Vegetation is at least two weeks later than
in the neighborhood of Ilollidaysburg,
twenty miles farther East. The winter
season usually sets in about the middle of
November, and continues with almost un
abated fury till the middle of March. Du
ring this season the aspect of the country
is dreary and unprepossessing ; but the
merry jingle of the fcleigh-bells, aud the
shouts of the mountain 4'sledders," while
they take advantage of the snow to get
their produce or lumber to market, give
evidence that business and pleasure are
not. neglected during this unhospituble
season.
Rut if the winter is rugged, the summer
season is healthy and invigorating in an
eminent degree ; indeed, such is the rep
utation of our mountain climate, that in
valids from our Eastern and Western
-i i
metropolis, in lame numbers, spend a
portiou of the summer season in our midst
That interval peculiar to American sea
sons, known as "Indian summer,' is of
peculiar grandeur and beauty, as well as a
period of great interest to our produce
beinr used by them in eollecnn'r their
crops and preparing the winter provision.
The principal mineral resources of the
county cous.ist in bituminous coal, iron
and limestone.
Immense veins of bituminous coal are
to be found in almost every portion of the
county, it abounds in Conemaugh, ash-
ington, Allegheny, Summerhiil, Cambria,
Carroll and Rlaeklick. A Ion: the line of
public improvements, and principally in
Washington township, it is worked very
extensively, and exported to the Eastern
markets. The coal mined in this neigh
borhood is of a hard and firm texture.
That mined in the Western portion of the
count- more nearly resembles the Pitts
burg coal, -containing more bitumen than
that found nearer the summit of the
mountain. The coal found near Ebeus
burg is not quite so pure as either of the
other varieties, but partakes of the nature
of both.
A very extensive bed of what is believed
to be cannel coal has been discovered on
the land of Joseph Rurkhart, seven miles
West of Ebcnsburg. Should this prove
to be the case, a new vein of mineral
wealth has been opened, of great impor
tance to the community.
Iron ore has been found in large quan
tities in Conemaugh, Allegheny, and Rlaek
lick, and perhaps in other townships.
It has been worked very extensively in
Conemaugh township, where quite a num
ber of furnaces has been erected, which
shall be described more particularly under
the head of Conemaugh township. The
Iron mines of Allegheny township and
of Rlaeklick township have been aban
doned. There are, doubtless, immense beds of
this mineral in our hills, which must soon
er or later see the light of day, aud add to
the wealth of our county.
Limestone, too, exists in considerable
quantities ; but in general, it lies too deep
to be worked to any great advantage
Still it greatly enhances the productive- j
ncss of the soil wherever found.
Salt-wTclls have been bored on the Clear
field, Susquehanna and Rlaeklick creeks ;
but the reasonable expectations of the ad
venturers were disappointed, and the en
terprise abandoned iu each case. Nor is
it probable that it will be renewed.
In Geology, Cambria county belongs
to that range of counties known as the
the secondary formation.
The Pursuits of the citizens of Cam
bria county are agriculture, lumbering,
mining, and manufacturing.
A majority of the people are engaged
more or less, in the science of agriculture.
The principal agricultural townships are
Conemaugh, Jackson, llichlaud, Summer
hill, Cambria,, Allegheny, White, and
Clearfield. Jackson, Conemaugh, and
Richland, being generally populated by
Pennsylvauia Germans-r-a people noted
for their industry and thriftiness contain
may excellent farms. The emigrants from
AVales, who settled Cambria township,
were remarkable for their patient endu
rance of labor, and their economy of liv
ing which quality they have transmitted
to their descendants. The subsist princi
pally from the products of the farm and
the diary. The German emigrants, who
compose the majority of Carroll township,
adopt the frugality of the "fatherland,'"
aud raise large crops off small farms. The
highly cultived farms of Allegheny aud
Clearfield townships point out a population
advancing to luxury.
Rut Lumbering is scarcely a less gen
eral or less lucrative pursuit than farming.
This business absorbs every other iu White
aud Susquehanna townships during the
winter and spring. The skiow of winter
is the season for lolling the timber, man
ufacturing the lumber, and netting it to
the river; and the rains of spring, by tre
ating a "freshet," or "Hood," as it is cal
led, afford the means of getting the fruits
of their labor to market. This lumber
generally consists of pine timber, some
times in lugs ready for sawing, sometimes
iu spars for vessels, and sometimes in man
ufactured boards. Iu the other portions
of the county, a large business is dune on
the public improvements iu Cherry and
Poplar lumber.
Mining for coal is mostly pursued iu
Washington township, and even here not
so extensively as the importance of the
business would seem to demand. Mining
for iron is pursued to a large extent iu
Conemaugh township.
The most extensive manufacture in the
count- is that of iron, or rather the metal
from which iron is manufactured. There
are in the county six furnaces for the
manufacture of pig metal, four of them
(all in Conemaugh township) in blast, and
.- :.. ii.! i: ,i. ,..,.i.....;,. U!,,,,!,,,-
(.Hit III IJldtMKIV) vjiiu 111 1. 1 1. lit : I ,
not iii blast. There are also several foun
dries for the manufacture ed castings.
There is also an extensive manufactory of
stone-ware in Johnstow n.
The principal productions of the county
are lumber, coal, iron, horses, cattle, but
ter, oats, and potatoes. Of the first three
of these, I have spoken alieady.
The trade in horses seems to be a lucra
tive and increasing business with our
farmers. They have exhibited a praise
worthy desire to improve their stock, and
their efforts have been appreciated by
Eastern purchasers. The mountain hor
ses have, besides, a character for hardiness
and endurauce which procures for them a
ready sale. Large numbers of cattle are
also taken eastward anuually by our dro
vers ; and butter of a very superior quali
ty is shipped in large quantities by our
merchants. The oats produced by our
farmers finds a ready sale on the public
works.
In the size and quality of her potatoes,
Cambria stands unrivalled among her sis
ter counties in this valuable edible con
testing the palm even with the State cf
Maine. Epicures pronounce our potatoes
at least equal to those of the boundary
State.

The Increase of tiie African Slave
Trade. The correspondent of the New
York Times, at St. Paul de Loaudo pro
nounces the slave 'trade treaty between
the United States and England a dead let
ter, and says the facility with which ves
sels arc cleared, even if captured, causes
the treaty to be virtually inco-opcrative
for the suppression of the trade. 'I he
trade has increased for years beyond meas
ure. A few months' experience has con
vinced us "that the

we may say, lined with slavers, who are
generally from New York, cleared from

flourishing on the African coast, and that
the competition between English and Amer
ican Merchants is eager, are wholly false.
There are very few or no English vessels
engaged in the palm oil trade ; during
eight months, hut one English vessel was
seen, and dozens of American oil traders.
The oil is scarce., and at Ambriz, to v.LieS
