Tlie Pi ospct t.
The nominations of Abraham Lincoln
and Hannibal Hamlin have, throng hout
all the free States, been received with a
welcome and a response which come di
rectly from the heart3 of the people.
Never did the political heavens look more
auspicious ; never wa the prospect of
victory more bright and cheering to the
ppponcnts of Loco-Foeoism. Hut while
such is the fact, we must not wholly rely
for success upon tho purity of our princi
ples, and the justice of our cause we
must be active, watchful, vigilant we
must work. Distracted and divided as
our opponents may be, it is not to be ex
pected that they will permit us to take
judgment against them by default. It is
not, and never was, their way of doing
busiuess. The power which they have
swayed for tho last eight years, they are
not likely to yield without a desperate ef
fort to retain it. Their appetite for pub
lic plunder is as keen as ever, aud well do
they know that, it our party triumph this
fall, their favorite occupation will be gone.
Influenced by such considerations, and
witnessing the uuion and harmony now
prevailing in our ranks, they will strive
hard to rally their shattered forces for the
great battla iu November.
A great deal will, of course, depend
upon the nation of the Baltimore Conven
tion. If it should terminate as did that
at Charleston break up in a row, and
male no nomination.? we will achieve a
triumph without the enjoyment of even
a tolerable fight. But, however this may
be, we hae in right to expect it. The
fecret of the past success of Loco-Foeoism
has consisted in the fact that its members
were generally united at the ballot-box.
If, therefore, they should, by any possi
bility, become united in the present cam
paign, it may not be amiss to tuke a glance
at the comparative prospects. The total
vote in the Electoral College is 303, as
follows :
Alabama,
Arkansas,
Delaware,
Florida,
Georgia,
Kentucky,
Louisiana,
Maryland,
Mississippi,

Total Electoral Vote, 303
It will require 152 votes to elect; and
admitting all the free States to be carried
for Lincoln and Hamlin, they will be elec
ted, and have 31 votes to spare. On the
other hand, suppose all the slave States to
be carried for the Loco-Foco nominees ;
they will thus have 120 votes in the Elec
toral College. In addition to these they
claim the votes of California aud Oregon,
which, if their claim be well fouuded,
would give them 127 only wanting 25
more to elect their nominees. Thus if the
votes of Pennsylvania could be added to
this number, Loco-l'ocoism would aeain
be successful and it would be success
ful, too, if it could but carry New York
in addition to the slave States.
It is quite apparent that Loco-Foeoism
will use the most desperate efforts to carry
Xew York and Pennsylvania these two
States will indeed be the battle-ground of
the campaign. If we lose either, assu-
j ruing our figures to be truthful, we lose
; our President. It behooves every mem
ber oi our Party, therefore, to do his part
iu the great contest now opening. Xew
York, we have every reason to believe,
will be safe in the hands of her Filaiores
and her Sewards let us see to it that
Pennsylvania be also safe. In 1850, the
Old Keystone was the means of electing
James Buchanan. She Jisgre.ccd herself
by elevating to the Presidency "uu old
public functionary" who has disgraced the
office. A capital opportunity is now pre
sented to Pennsylvania to wipe out her
disgrace. Let her eons of the Opposition
then but do their duty, and it matters
not what Loeo-Foeoisni may do iu Octo
ber next, the gallant Andy Curtiu will
be elected by about 40,000 majority I
And this will be a presager of the major
ity which the Old Keystone will give, one
month later, to Lincoln and Hamlin.
In a Tight Plate.
There is a (Jerman paper published in
Johnstown which we never read because
we can't. But we find in the Middlebur"-
o
Tribune a translation cf cc.'C of its articles,
which, if it be correct, shows conclusively
the light in which its author regards the
action of neighbor Smith, of the Echo,
whilst a delegate at the Charleston Con
vention. For the benefit of all whom it
may concern, aud especially our neighbor
of the UeztocrHt d Xcntiiml who may not
have seen it, and who, like ourself, is "not
so much of a scholar" as to be able to
read the original we hereby publish the
article as translated :
In a Ti;nT Place. Captain George Nelson
Smith, who was appointed as a Delegate to
the Democratic National Convention at Read
ing, is i l a tight place. Smith has in the
paper publi.-hed by him (the Kehn) the name
of John Breckenbridge hoisted as a suitable
candidate for the Presidency, but voted in the
Charleston Convention for Douglas. The
Buchanan men are, on account of his conduct
in. this respect, highly exasperated and heap
upon him all kind of denunciations. Amoii"
the Douglas men Smith is not admired, in
spite of his vote for Douglas, because he has
ever adhered blindly to the present corrupt
Adminis'i.tion, which is a desperate onemv
to Dough. 3. Smith has, as the Democratic
Buchanun Organ emphatically remarks (Dem
ocrat ,j- Sentinel) often positively declared pre
vious to the meeting of the Charleston Con
vention, that he would not vote for Douglas
on any condition. While we rejoice that
Smith at least expressed the voice of a deci
ded majority of the Democratic party, we can
in no wise praise the position he occupies.
The ornament of a true Democrat is candor
this gics him character. Away with your
double faced Politicians. Show your color;
if Snnth is for Dowgltti, let him remove the
mime of IJrcckcnhridj.c from the head of the
columns of his paper. The people of this
district are for Dough;?, und it is the duty of
Mr. Smith to labor for his nomination.
It is here to be remarked, that S. is a prom
inent candidate for Legislature, which fact
illustrates his dubious positiou to some ex
tent. The next Legislature will elec t a Uni
ted States Senator, and on that account ex
traordinary chances will present therare.vcs.
We may remark that, up to the latest
accounts, the name of "John Brecken
bridge" still floats at the Fcho's mast-head,
"as a suitable candidate for the Presiden
cy ;" but whether or not neighbor Smith
ill give him the cold shoulder at Balti-
more, as he did at Charleston that is a
matter which remains to be seen. If he
does, "John Breckenbridge" can only suck
consolation from the happy reflection, thai
editors don't always do as editors say.
Morris' Sentence.
In tho case of. the Commonwealth vs.
James Morris, in which the defendant
was convicted the first week of court of the
crime of rape upon the person of Catharine
Shira, A. Kopeliu, Esq., of counsel for the
prisoner, stated to the Court on Monday,
12th iust., that it was the prisoner's desire
to be relieved from anxiety by having sen
tence pronounced. Whereupon, the priso
ner was brought into court, aud, after his
counsel, Messrs. Fenlon and Kopeliu, were
heard in his behalf, Jt'UGK Taylor ad
dressod him, and passed the sentence of
the law, substantially as follows :
'James Mounts : You stand before the Court
convicted by the verdict of n jury of your
choice, and after having been zealously de
fended by learned und able counsel, of the
crane of rape, to receive the sentence of the
law.
It is a duty always unpleasant to a Judge to
pass sentence, and mete out punishment, to
those convicted of high crimes. In your case,
we confess, iu view of your age, intelligence,
aud the unsullied character you had previous
ly borne, aud of the measure of punishment
which a sense of duty in view of the heiuous
ness of your crime compels us to intlict, it is
especially painful. To fiud any one sunken
to that depth of depravity which prompted, or
permitted, the diabolical deed, could not fail
to excite feelings of commiseration. But we
have a duty to perform, and cannot shrink
from its performance.
The verdict of the jury fixes your guilt.
That verdict, however, it is proper here to
say, receives our entire approval. Your guilt
was proven with a degree of distinctness and
certainty not common. The narrative of the
child, Catharine, which it was apparent she
could not have invented, and which she had
no conceivable motive to fabricate a tale the
thought of which could not have entered her
mind il it had not a ioumtntion in tact was
given from the stand with nil the truthful
simplicity of s:n innocent, artless child that
had not learned to lie, aud which forced con
viction on the minds of all who heard it. The
facts adduced in corroboration of her state
ment, proven by her little playmates with that
artlessness and candor, aud by other witnes
ses w ho had no conceivable motive to prevar
icate, with the testimony of Catharine, proved
your guilt, not merely cf an attempt, but of
the consummated crime, beyond the possibil
ity of mistake. There cannot linger ia any
mind a doubt of your guilt.
Thus before the court, what punishment
does duty call upon us to inflict? Formerly,
at eommou law. the penally of your crime was
doaih. It is still so when committed upon the
hih sea, sr.d within the jurisdiction of the
courts of the Ui.ited States. By our statute
of 1 7 ! j -1 , the penalty was imprisonment in tho
penitentiary not less than ten nor more than
twenty-one years for the tirst offence. By the
actof April, 1821, the timeof imprisonment was
fixed at not less than two nor more than twelve
years. Under these statutes, the punishment
was imprisonment within the specified limits,
graduated according to the circumstances
which extenuated or aggravated the offence,
iu addition to the imposition of the costs and
a nominal fee. Bv the revised criminal code.
apj. roved the 31st of March last, a, luonthat'ter
you committed this crime, and now the law
of the State with regard to all crimes commit
ted since its euactmeat, rape is to be punished
by a fine not exceeding 1000. and imprison
ment in the penitentiary not exceeding fifteen
years.
You are to be sentenced under the act of
18211 the most lenient of all these statutes.
Our discretion is to be exercised between i!ie
limits of two and twehe years, the latter be
ing the extreme penaltj- applicable to a case
of extreme heinousness and aggravation and
what less is your crime? When it is remem
bered that your victim is a child, a child not
only in years, but in physical and mental de
velopment, a chibl, moreover, in iuuocence
and purity, and whose mind had never been
polluted by au impure- thought; and who had,
we doubt not. no conception of what you were
attempting; when it .s remembered, lurther,
that she was your pupil, and you her teacher;
her person and her purity, all that was pre
cious to her and her parents, committed to
your care ; that you sustained to her for the
time the relation of a parent: when it is re
membered, further, that you possess the intel
ligence which that relation implies : when
all these elements of aggravation are brought
into the account, we r.re utterly at u loss to
conceive what would be an extreme case, if
yours is not. We are unable to imagine anv
tiling which could add a shade to your guilt.
One of the objects of punishment, moreover,
being the prevention of crime by deterring
from its commission, since your case shows it
to be possible, w hat we could else scarcely
think possible, that in our public schools, u
child committed by its parents to the care
and guardianship of a teacher, may be, tbro'
his brutality, the victim of an outrage like
this it is a duty, we feel, to make your case
an example, nnd your fate a warning, to all
such monsters of depravity, if such others
there be. And, in view of everything con
nected with your case, although we pity you,
we are constrained by un imperative sense of
duty to treat your case as one of extreme
puilt. meet to be punished by the extreme
penalty of the law."
The prisoner was accordingly sentenced
to undergo an imprisonment in solitary
eonCncineut at labor in the western peni-
teutiary for twelve years.

B3, The Peoples Party of Blair coun
ty, at their late Convention, unanimously
declared themselves in favor of the nomi
nation of Hon. S. S. Blair
for Congress.
For Congress : Ferdlnaud Xew
. kirk. 's .' "
To the EJUor of The Allejhaniani "
The time ''isn't so very far off" when.the
people's partT of this district Muaf select a
candidate for Congress.. Blair, Huntingdon
and Somerset have each been represented by
a man of their own ; therefore, we think in all
justice (and we may add, equity) Cambria i3
entitled to be represented by a man of her
own ; and more especially does the propri
etv of this manifest itself, fcince the next elec
tion will be the last to be held uuder the
present Congressional apportionment. Under
all probability, the district will be so changed
as to favor the election of some British Free
Trade Democrat. Should Cambria be repre
sented by a mail of that stripe, surely uo good
can come out of Nazareth.
The question now arises, Who shall be our
standard-bearer iu the approaching campaign?
Thij we look upon as the question. Compared
with it, ull other questions the goose ques
tion included dwindle down into compara
tive insignificance. He should be a man not
identified with either of the political factious
existing in our party in this county, (for,
painful as it may seem, there are such fac
tions,) but a mau isolated upon an inaccessi
ble pinnacle having a clean record and a
clean face and with nothing less in view
than the extreme tip of his nasal organ, and
the union, harmony and prosperity of -the
party upon which depend the honor and char
acter of our government, lie should also
possess the qualifications necessary to fulfil
the duties of the oflice with honor and credit,
qualifications which some people think
they have w hen they haven't.
The citizens of Summerhill (and a portion
of Croyle aud liichland) arealniost unanimous
in delaring FERDINAND NKWKIKK, Esq., of
Wilmore Borough, to be the man of their
choice. With regard to his fitnes3 for the
office, there cannot be a doubt ia the mind of
any mau not blinded by prejudice or malice.
Add to ell this the fact that he has a counte
nance quite as prominent as any individual
limned, or likely to be named, in connection
with the otiice. Whether he was a Whig by
early training or not ; or whether, fiuce tho
dissolution of that party, he bus been aa ac
tive or passive member of the American Re
publican organization or not, makes no par
ticular difference ; he is the uiiiu for the times
any how. We hope therefore that our County
Convention when it meets will at least give
him a show. WILMORE.

To t;:e Editou of The Allf.riuxi.vs:
Since my last communication, with the ex
ception of the visit of the Japanese Embassy,
our city has been without much excitement.
On that occasion, it appeared as if everybody
and all his friends had turned out to see the
sights. The streets through which the pro
cession passed was crowded with masses of
iiuiuuu beings, and the windows and house
tops were also iiiied. The diitiii" uished vis
itors were received by the city authorities in
the large hall of the Maryland Institute, and
after passing t!' rough a number of streets,
were conveyed to the Gihuor House, where
dinner was se rved in very liaiiJoumc si le.
After dinner there was an exhibition of the
Steam Fire Department, with which they were
much pleased, as it was the first opportuuitv
thry have had of seeing its operation. At
night there was a grand exhibition of Fire
Works, which concluded the evening's enter
tainment. The arrangements were satisfacto
rily carried out by the Committee und noth
ing unpleasant occurred to mar the reception.
The Delegates to the Adjourned Charleston
Convention, to be held in this city to-morrow,
have nearly all arrived, or are in Washington,
preparatory to the grand struggle, or itrur.ylt.
The question that greets vou on every side is
Who is to be the nominee? and echo an
swers. Who? The Convention will sit in the
Front St. Theater, which has been renovated
and improved to adapt it to their convenience.
No one will be admitted to the floor but dele
gates, aud the public will be admitted to the
galleries by tickets. Several of the delega
tions have full bands of music with them, and
last evening the citizens in Monument Square
in the vicinity of Barnaul's Uotel and the
tlilmor House, were enlivened by the most
delightful strains, proceeding alternately from
the bands stationed on the verandahs of the
two hotels. After the music, an improptu
meeting was held, and addresses were deliv
ered by several gentlemen of ability, which
were listeued to attentively by a large con
course of persons. Our hotels are all full,
but strangers in the city cau be accommoda
ted with all they want to supply the iniur or
outer Man, as well as a place to lay their
heads.
The several bands have united aud will
give a grand Sacred Concert this evening, in
Monument Square at G o'clock. The Key
stone Club from Philadelphia, will arrive here
to-morrow morning. The New York Delega
tion will also have a large number. They all
have accommodations engaged at the different
hotels. In my next, I hope to be able to give
you the names of the candidates.
Baltimokl, June 17, ItiCO. W.
Indiana Clay Pike. This important
thoroughfare, we arc sorry to say, is at
present in a dilapidated and almost im
passible condition. Scarcely a bridge on
tho road is safe, from lack of a single
plank perhaps ; and irt some cases the
entire superstructure is almost worn out.
A6 wc understand that the road is now in
the hands of the courts, and as no one has
control over it, we think it would be noth
ing more than right to throw it over to
the respective township"s"through which
it passes, and have something done in the
premises right speedily.
EST A supply of paper which we had
ordered failing to come to hand in time,
we were unable to issue the Alleghanian
last week. We did our best to come up
to the mark, but failed, much to our un
uoyance. We trust it like omission will
not occur soon again.
3Iaj. Raymond, of the UV.iy, Col.
Bowman, of Tribune, and C. Barrett, Esq.,
of the Elk County A thocate, have all been

Court. Come again, gentlemen; we're
always glad to see jou.

Thi3 village," the oldest ia the county,
was founded by Rev. D Ji. Gallitzin, as

divine ud to the tieriod of his death. It

is pleasantly situated on the springs of
Clearfield creek and consists mainly of two
streets running nearly north and south
for the distance of a half mile. These two
streets ure lined on either side with neat
and comfortable dwellings, and the whole
village is a model of cleanliness and neat
ness. ' ' ,
In 1850, Loretto contained a population
of 193, of whom 3 were white males, i)0
white females, and 1 colored female. At
the same time, the number of dwelling
houses were SO, and the number of fami
lies, 40. Of this number there were :

the air of solemn Btillnessthat reignsaiound
" him ; broken only by the hourly chime cf
the convent bell, or the deep tolliug of the
church bell calling the devotees to main
tins and vespers; and when, iu addition
to this, he sees not uufrequently, in the
street, the veiled figure of a sitter of Mer
cy, on some errand of charity, or some
labor of love, he feels that he is surround
ed by the institutions and members of the
liomau Catholic Church.
Loretto is not fortunately located for
business, not having the advantage of any
of the thoroughfares for the purpose of trade.
Still she has recently put forth her ener
gies iu such a manner as must make her
the centre of considerable business. And
when the plank road from Loretto to Lau
rel swamp, and that from Loretto to Car
rolltown shall have been finished, she will
become a formidable rival to her sister vil
lages. The name, Loretto, was bestowed upon
the village by ltev. Gallitzin from a town
of the same name in the marquisate of
Ancona, in Italy. Tradition avers that
the cathedral of this town contains the
C'tia Santa or Holy house iu which the
Yinrin Mary lived ut Nazareth.
Aud here while speaking of Loretto, it
may not be considered inappropriate to
say a few words of her illustrious foun
der. Demetrius Augustine de Gallitzin was
born at the Hague in Holland on the 22d
December, 1770. His father, prince de
Gallitzin was at that time Russian Ambas
sador to the Court of Holland. Of course
his titles and his fortunes were prince-
All these, however, he abjured, emigra
ted to the United States, and not long af
ter, in 1789, he sought the bleak and bar
ren summit of the Alleghanies, and estab
lished himself as a missionary iu the cause
of Jesus Christ. A rude log cabin suffi
ced for the wants of him whoso youth had
been spent iu the halls of kiugs and prin
ces; and here he labored without any re
laxation of his energies, until the period
of his death, which occurred on the 0th
May, 18 40. The hardships aud privations
of this pastor during this lung period are
almost incredible. As a Missionary priest,
(the only one then iu Western Pennsylva
nia, except Mr. Brauers, at Youngstown,)
his life was a coutiuued endurance of ev
ery hardship. In the language of one of
his eulogists, "his bed was the bare floor,
his pillow the saddle of his horse, and
most forbidding fare constituted his repast."
"His fare was often some black bread and
a few vegetables ; coffee and tea were un
known luxuries in those times. Hi3 cloth
ing was home-made aud of the most home
ly description, his mansion was a misera-
