Our Candidate's.
In our issue of last tveek, we statcl that
the Chicago Convention had nominated
Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and
Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, as the
ller.uLlican candidates l'r President and
Vice President of the United States.
Now, that we have inseiil-cd their names
upon our banner, and enlisted for the
eami.tii-a, we propose to say a few words
in relation to Cue men who will this fall
lead us to victory.
Abraham Lincoln was horn in liar- I
dm county, Kentucky, February 1 1', ISO'.),
and is therefore 51 years old. 11 is .;iron4s
were of Quaker stock, that migrated from
Pennsylvania to Virginia, from which
place his irraadfatht r removed in ITS 1-2
to Kentucky, where ho was killed by In
dians while working on his ckarm- He
left his family poor ; and his so.; aho died
prematurely, leaving a widow and se.ral
children, including Abraham, then six
years old. Soon after, the family removed
to southern Indiana, where Abraham
grew to the stature of si fcct and some
inches. In both these places, however,
his opportunities for instruction were but
poor ; and it is probable that mx months
of the rudest sort of schooling compre
hend. the whole of his technical educa
tion. He was in turn a farm laborer, a
common workman in a saw-mill, and a
boatman on the Wabash and Mississippi
rivers.
About thirty years since, he removed to j
lllitiois, liingahvcy? near and for some
years past in Springfield, (he capital of;
tfcat "State. Ilk firit yC.::r in IJIiuoiV, he
worked on a farm as a hired man ; the
nest year, he was a ckrk in a store; then
served in the Black Hawk war, being
captain cf a company; the next year lie
waa an 4insuccessful candidate for the Leg
islature ; was chosen the next, and served
with distinction for four sessions; studied
law in the meantime, and was admitted to
the bar; became a strong advocate of
Y'hig principle;', and a warm friend cf
Ileiirv Clav : was a candidate for Llector
in nearly every Presidential contest from
1.00 to 1S52; was elected a member of
J the XXXth Congress in 1S4G, and served
to its close, but declined a re-election ;
and in 1S51 he became the Whig candi
date for U. S. Senator, but bis friends in
the Legislature being in a minority, he
withdrew, and at Lis rc.iuest, lhc-y sup
ported Judge Trumbull, the Anti-Nebraska
candidate, who was thereby elected.
In the 1 'residential campaign of IS.oG,
Mr. Lincoln's name beaded the Premont
Llectoral Ticket of Illinois, and he was
one of that candidate's warmest suppor
ters. But it was bis memorable contest
with Stephen A. Douglas, for the lTnitcd
States Seuatorship, that gave him a na
tional reputation. All remember with
what ability, logic, art, eloquence and good
nature he canvassed the State of Illinois
against the little champion of Squatter
Sovereignty; and although Douglas se
cured a predominance in the Legislature
and was elected, yet it must not be for
gotten that Lincoln had the popular vote
in his favor, and counted his majority by
thousands.
A self-made man in the true sense of
the term one who is what he is, in vir
tue of his own genius and the energy of
his character one who may be ranked
alike with the hardy sons of toil, and with
the greatest living statesmen cue who is
the very embodiment of true 1'epublicau
principles and sentiments the nomina
tion of Abraham Lincoln, by the Chi
... 1 . i
eago eoiiM'iitiun, was anu is "a noimna
tion eminently fit to made." A man of
unbending integrity, upright iu every act
and purpose, and with a moral character
without spot or blemish, he has long been
well and worthily known as "honest old
Abe."' As such, the masses who always
love honesty w ill .rally round his stand
ard, with the sure prospect of a glorious
victory. That he will be elected, tri
umphantly elected, is just as certain as that
he has been nominated.
Hannibal Hamlin our candidate for
the second office in the gift of the people
was born in the town of Paris, Oxford
county, Maine, Augu.-t.L'Tth, S()0, and
is therefore a few months younger than
his associate upon the ticket. He is by
profession a lawyer, though for the last
twenty f.-ur years he has been most of
his time in political life. From ls;G to
1S40, he was a member of the Legislature
of Maine, and for three of those years
was Speaker of its House of Representa
tives. In lsl'.i, he was elected a mem
ber of Congress, and re-elected for the
following term. He was returned to the
State Legislature iu IS 17, and in the fol
lowing year was elected to the United
States Senate, to fill the; unexpired term
of Hon. John Fairfield, whose death had
caused the vacancy. At the expiration
of the term, in 151, he was re-elected for
six years, and served until 157, when ho
was called to the gubernatorial chair of
Maine. About a month after his inaugu
ration as Governor, ho was again elected
to the L'nited States Senate for six years,
winch cflice he accepted, resigning the
'ovcrnorslnp. lie is still -a member of
the Senate. Jhe positions of honor and
trust which almost seem to have been
thrust upon him, are a fit index to the
confidence and esteem in which he is held
by his fellow citizens in Maine.
Fn in the time of his Grst appearance
on tne political stage till the passage of
the Kansas-Nebraska act, Mr. Hamlin
always voted and acted with the Loco-Fo-co
party. Dut when that party abandoned
the policy of its earlier leaders, and fol
lowed in the tracks of that arch political
trickier, Stephen A. Douglas; when, for
the wicked purpose of extending the area
of Human Shivery, it trampled upon a
Compromise which time had rendered mi.
cred thea indeed Mr. Hamlin could no
longer be with or of it. With thousands
of other members of that party, he dis
covered the hypocrNyand rascality which
luiked under the name of "Democracy,"
and thenceforward he determined to yield
his support to the Republican cause
Since then he has been a faithful and
d.stinouished leader of our party ; :Uld the
revolution iu Maine, which is in great
measure attributable to his ability and in
fluence, has astonished the whole country,
and doubtless led to the nomination which
has been so worthily bestowed upon him.
Such. then, nix the nan v.hvin the L'hi-
cago Convention Las presented for the two
highest offices in the world. Like the
platform upou which they have been
placed, they embody tho hopes and tho
dcsivc3 of a largo majority of the Ptoi'LE.
of this great country, and they are unob
jectionable to every man who is opposed
to corruption in high places; to spreading
the curse of Human Bondage; or to any
of the one thousand and one other wicked
thmg3 of which. Loco-Focoism is guiltv.

TJie C'Sa'cag-o Con eition.
The Republican national Convention
which assembled at Chicago on Wednes
day, the 10th inst., was one of the largest,
most enthusiastic, and most intelligent
bodies ever assembled in this country.
The Wigwam, erected especially for the
occasion, was lilled, holding ten thousand
people, whilst the number outside was es
timated at twenty thousand. Hon. David
Wilmot, of Pennsylvania, was temporary
chairman until a permanent organization
was effected, when Hon. (Jeorge Ashman,
of Massachusetts, presided. Delegates were
present from twenty-five States ; the Slave
States represented being Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, and
Texas.
On Thursday there was juite an anima
ted discussion as to the vote that should be
allowed certain States the delegates from
Maryland, Kentucky and Kansas, protest
ing against any rule that would not admit
them on an equality with the delegates
from other States. The question was
finally settled by admitting the delegates
from such States, with the privilege of
casting one vote for each delegate present.
The Committee on Resolutions, which
consisted of one member from each State,
made a report which, after considerable
discussion, was adopted. We regret that
we have not room to publish, this week,
tha Platform of Principles. It will appear
in our next. Its principal features are,
the Union of the States; State Rights;
Non-extension of Slavery ; and adequate
Protection to Home Industry.
The nominations were made on Friday,
the 18th inst., and the whole number of
votes iu Convention was 40"). The various
candidates for 1 'resident being announced,
the ballots resulted as follows:

Hannibal Hamlin, of 3!aine, having
received a clear majority on the second
ballot, was declared unanimously nomina
ted as the caudidate for Vice President.
The announcement of the nominations
was the signal for demonstrations of en
thusiasm. A salute of 100 guns was fired
and the Wigwam and the streets ofChica-
t,-,.va .,1 :.l i ,1 i-i i.
go weic vocal with the cheers which went

up from the multitude. Bonfires, proces- j
sions, torchlights, illuminations, fireworks j
and salutes were the order of the evening; i
and all, save the Loco-Focos, were iubilant
over the result.
Most nobly did the Convention do its
work. The Platform and the candidates
which it put forth augur well for the suc
cess of our Paity in October mid Novem
ber. Our exchanges of tlie Opposition,
iiom all parts of the State, arc filled with
expressions of satisfaction. A campaign
has opened which bids fair to rival that of
1840 a campaign as full of excitement,
and in its results as glorious to the oppo
nents of Loco-Focoism. Friends! off with
your coats! up with your sleeves! and to
work. to work for Lincoln, Hamlin
and Cl'utin! Do your dutv. :md V iftf iTM'

As tho time i.s rapidly approaching
when tho Loeo-lVico National Convention
will meet at Baltimore, the question bc
toiucs interesting as to what manner of
man if any body at all will bo -turned
out 63 the opponent of Abraham Lincoln.
The friends of Stephen A. Douglas arc
not without hope that he may be nomina
ted. They urge that, because he received
a majority of" the vote cast in the Charles
ton Convention, he is entitled to the
nomination, notwithstanding the fact that
. ,
it takes two-thirds of the whole vote to
, , . . , ,
make a choice. The friends of the ad
ministration, on the other hand, are strain
ing every nerve to defeat Douglas ; and
as they are not likely to succed iu any
other way, it is quite certain they will
strictly adhere to the two-thirds rule.
Their opposition to "the little giant" has
become chronic, and they are determined
that he shall not have the nomination if
it is in the pins to prevent it. How this
family quarrel may terminate it is difli
cult to foresee.
While we do not expect that Douglas
will be nominated "according to Democrat
ic usage," w e are free to say that we would
as willingly see him the candidate as any
one we know of and we say this, too, with
a elue appreciation of the fuss that his
peculiar friends are all the while making
about his popularity. Lincoln met and
conquered him before the people of Illinois,
in the contest for the United States Seua
torship; for, although Douglas secured a
majority in the Legislature and was elected,
Lincoln had the popular vote of the State
largely in his favor. It the two are pitted
against each other in the present campaign,
we shall witness a similar result with
this slight difference, that this time Doug
las will not happen to be elected. The
people of this country have seen enough
of his dodges; and they will naturally
prefer to bestow the highest office in their
gift upon "honest old Abe" a man w hom
they know to be more than a head and
shoulders above "the little giant," in size,
in intellect, iu statesmanship, and in capa
bility. But no matter who may be the
nominee of the Baltimore Convention, he
will be badly beaten by the man "who is
good at splitting rails and mauling Dem
ocrats." Jlanl limes in Jvansas. The entire
failure of the wheat crop, owing to the
prevailing unprecedented drouth, lias east
a shadow of gloom over the farming pop
ulation of the territory. The loss is in
deed a severe one. Large numbers who
had used up all their available means, du
ring the protracted troubles of our earlier
history, were looking confidently to the
wheat crop of this season for relief. A
much larger breadth than ever before had
been sown, and had there been even an
ordinary crop, Kaus:i would have raised
not only all ot her own bread, but would
have had juite a surplus to spare. As it
is, however, our flour will have to be im
ported. This will be a heav- drain upon
me resources oi me territory. Jiut we
fear that the mass of the people are utter
ly unable to buy flour for a year and a
half to come. 3Ioney is a very scarce ar
ticle among our farmers, from the fact
that they have been unable to dispose of
what surplus products they may have, lor
cash. There is a large quantity of last
year's com still on hand, but there is no
cash market for it.
A friend who has just returned from an
extensive trip in Southern Kansas, stop
ping throughout his entire journey with
the farmers, informs us that, in his opin
ion, there is not one family in twenty,
south of the Kansas valley, in which a
pound of flour can now be found, or where
any is likely to be seen for a year to come.
This is a hard state of things, and we do
not wonder, as lie says, that the people
feel very much dispirited. Laicnncc A'c

CHAPTER XIV.
In 1800 there were ono hundred and
one free schools, ono hundred and three
teachers, and four thousand and seventy
scholars, in Cambria county. The taxa
tion for school purposes the same year
amounted to $3.0-0, the amount drawn
from the Commonwealth Sl,S4t ; from
other sources 40; making a total free
school fund of $10,403.
The number of pupils in the free schools
of the county may" now be computed at
5,000, with a corresponding increase in
the number of teachers. In addition to
these there is a female seminary in Johns-
town, a select school in Ebensburg under
the auspices of the Presbyterian Congrc-
uation, select Boman Catholic schools,
' , , p i - t . a i ;
male and female, m Loretto ; and a classi-

are besides about 50 students from Cam-
