TZRRIFFIC SPLIT IN THE RANKS OF YE

THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION UEUASHF.D.
EIGIITEEX DEL KG A TES SECEDE!
4KOTUKR COSVENTIC TO BS CALLED I
In accordaneo with notices previously
blazoned forth in all the Loco-l'oco papers
in the county, the ''harmonious ami un
terrifiod" met in grand conclave at the
Court House, in this borough, on Monday
last, to go through the sham of nomina
ting a county ticket. As it is well known
that this hitherto almost invincible organ
ization is at present divided into two in
tensely bitter factions in this county two
factions who take every opportunity to
war against each other with all the rancor
and animosity which it would be natural
to suppose would be shown by two full
grown half-starved tiger cats considerable
fun was expected. These expectations
were not doomed in the least to disap
pointment. Iudeed, as early a? Saturday
afternoon, when the Delegate Elections
were held, the sport began ; but it was
only brought to a grand climacteric on
Monday.
TTpon the assembling of the Convention,
at 2 P. M., the delegates from the diffcr
oat districts, to the number of fifty-eight,
presented their credentials and took their
FCits. Two setts of delegates from one of
the wards of Johnstown and from this
borough, contested for the honor of seats
in the augnst body ; aud in both cases
were Doagl?f men admitted.
Tho Ccuveution was brought to some
kind order by the ppciatmciit of Dan-
iel M'Laughlin as President; John II. ' called upon for a speech, lie arose and

At about this juncture,the Breckenridge
portion of the Convention to the number

of eighteen ueuates finding that their;
voices were not likely to be listened to :
with any particular attention in the delib- :
cations, and that attempts were being
made by desimin'' political tricksteis to'

express their disgust at, and wash their .

then packed up and

words, sfc-tf'-d. They also entered a reg
ular protest against the Convention and
its nominees. Croat excitement for a time
ensued, aud serious thoughts are enter
tained of issuing a call for a Speeders'

in an article on the late speech of Mr.

It is hardly necessary to say, in conclu

Blacklick Township is bounded by

The Township is broken. The Laurel

for some hundreds of miles, and which is
nearly of equal altitude, loses itself, or to
use a more homely expression, "dies out,"

Township. The regular M.cthodist have
a fine church near Belsano, while the Bap
tists have a venerablj log building, know n
as the Bethel Meeting House.
Blacklick Township was not settled at
fjuite so early a date as some other portions
of Cambria County. .'!ri tilth Rowland
was perhap the earliest settler of the Eas
tern portion of tlie Township; while the
Duncan's made the first opening on the
Vesteru side. William Reed, one of
Ilarrisou's soldiers during the war of
IS 12, immediately after its close, settled
iu the wilderness, and opened the fine
farm on which his aged relict still re
sides. 1 once travelled on horseback ever an
old, abandoned road leading from near the
dividing line on the Reed and George
farms, to the "Stone Turnpike" at Dillon's
laveru. I found an old, delapidatcd
bridge over the Blacklick, so ricketty in
its appearance that I was fain to escape
its dangers by fording the stream. Not
far from this bridge, the road passes thro'
a deCled" a very rugged character; but
what struck me as most singular, an im
mense rock, which had been cloven in
twain by some convulsion, arose on cither
side of the road perpendicular, and some
fifteen feet high, barely leaving space for
a wagon to pass through thefssure. The
day was hot and sultry, yet while passing
through this sitigular gap, 1 fdt s coed
as if in an ice-house. I am not ccrtaiu
whether this is in Blacklick or Jackson
it must be near the l'Se be twecu them.
