A large portion of to-day's paper is oc cupied by the proceedings of the People's County Convention which had its session in Ebensburg, on Monday last. We have not now room to notice the various nomi nees in detail, but shall attend to that matter at an early d iy. The Convention wa3 one of the most respectable and or derly bodies that has ever assembled in Cambtia county. The ticket was fairly nominated and fairly distributed, and as such deserves the support of every member of our Party. We nail it to our mast head, aud will labor tor the success ef every man on it. -County Supeiititentlcncy The State Superintendent having de cided that Maj. Thomas A. Maguire had not forfeited his citizenship and domical in this countv bv his four months' resi deuce in Iowa, a commission has bctn is sued to him, and he has already entered npon his duties as County Superintendent. The Major will make an excellent officer. li is said, hov. ever, that his right to hold the fjuimi'km will be tested before the Court. S.hu oln lull. Our friend. J. P.

However much I may feel disposed to yield with all deference to the opinion of my l'rieuds, (and I assure you that it is with feel ings of gratitude to them for their good opin ion of my feeble services,) yet my judgment remains as it has been that it would be im politic for our party to run me a third time, neither can I do it, having ever opposed anv and all persons of whatsoever party running before the peopla for a third time.

The Committee on Resolutions having returned, their chairman reported the following Resolutions, which, being read, were, on motion, unanimously adopted : Rcsoh-cil, That each returning campaign makes more abiding our faith in the Peo ple's Party, aud the purity of the purposes of its organization, and that we are unal terably opposed to every form and species of Loco-Focoism. HesoIvciJ, That" we congratulate the people of the whole country upon the fact that Loco-Foco misrule must speedih' come to an end. For the last eight years the so-called Democratic Party has swayed the reins of government, and the evils which it has entailed upon the people have be come intolerable. The spread of Human Bondage has been its leading object; that wise economy which does the greatest good to the greatest number has beer: stu diously disregarded ; the Federal Consti tution has been perverted into an engine for the extension of slavery; domestic peace and harmony have been bartered away for sectional discord and fraternal strife; fraud and corruption have tainted almost every department of the general government, from the highest to the low est; industry has been prostrated, com merce paralyzed, and our treasury made bankrupt. The administration of James Buchanan, by its utter disregard of the just claims of the whole country, and by its shameless profligacy and wickedness, has forfeited the confidence and respect of the people, and brought upon us national dishonor and disgrace. It is well that a day of retribution will come on the second Tuesday of November. JiesoUeil, That we contemn the absurd dogma that the master has the right to take his slaves into the territories belonsr ing to this Confederacy, and have them protected there under the Federal Con stitution. That it is a doctrine directly autugonistic to the explicit provisions of the instrument itself, is at war with leg islative and judicial precedent, and is wholly inconsistent with the sifnius and and spirit of Republican institutions. That it is a doctrine fit only to be pro mulged by a pro-slavery Supreme Court, and to be made a plank iu the platform of a pro-slavery party. Hcxohcd, That it is not the purpose of the Opposition, nor would it be wise, to seek the abolition of Slaver' in the States where it now exists; nor do we intend in anywise to interfere with any of the insti tutions pertaining to such States. That, on the contrary, duly respecting the com promises of the Constitution, and desirous of maintaining all the reserved rights of the States, we acknowledge, in its true sense, the right of the people of each State to regulate aud control their domestic af iairs in their own way. Rrsohfl, That we duly recognize and appreciate the dignity and the rights of Free Labor; that all experience has shown that Free White Labor cannot prosper upon the same soil with Slave Labor, and that, regarding as we do the institution of Human Slavery as an element of political weakness, and a great social and moral evil, we hereby declare our uncompromi sing hostility to its extension into territory now free, or which may hereafter be ac quired by an' action of the general gov ernment. JxtKoieJ, That our National Congress being vested by the Constitution with the right and power of making all needful rules and regulations respecting the terri rorics belonging to the United States, we claim for that branch of government the right, and we believe it to be its duty, to take such legislative action as shall ex clude Slavery from such territories, and secure to the people thereof that progress in arts, improvements and enterprise which has so signally characterized all the Free States of our Republic. Ji solved, 1 hat we look upon the African Slave Trade as a relic of barbarism ; that all attempts to re-open the same should be indignantly frowned upon by every friend of Humanity and Progress; and that all violations of the laws now in force against it should be promptly ferreted out and punished with the utmost severity. JiesolveJ, That we are now, as we ever have been, firm in our devotion to the policy of protecting our Home Industry against the depressing influence of Forei"u Capital and Foreign Labor. That we believe the commercial prosperity and indepen dence of our state and nation can in no other way be so well attained and subserved as by adopting and adhering to a policy which will secure to our farmers and planters, remunerating prices f jr . their products; to our mechanics and manufac turers, a fair recompense for their skill and enterprise; and to our laboring men liberal wages lor their toil. ' ; Jtesolvat, That the recent defeat, by the ' Senate of the Uuited States, of that wise mcure of refornV. known Morrill' 1 Tariff Bill, is proof strong as holy writ, tlial, noiwiinstaui.i:ii u; boasting of some of its members, the Loco Foco party is in favor of British Free Trade, aud opposed to protecting the In dustrial Interests of our country. Resolved, That we arc highly in favor of the construction of a Railroad to the Pacific, by the general government, if the same can "bo accomplished without incur- rin a serious national utui, auu vtimuui icoura-in- corruption and speculation trimentai'to our country. encour: deti Raol-vcd, That it would be rirht and proper, and attended with good results, for the General Government to donate a homestead to every actual settler upon the 7 i j rri. . ...:1. , .... ., !

IJamlin, as the nominees ol our 1 arty lor j i i i t: i . ,r 1 o..,l : ... , -, . -. i fctatcs. f itly do thc-y represent the vital issues involved in the coming struggle. In "Honest Old Abe'' we recognize a man wnoso nio, puonc as wen i jnuir, is without spot or blemish. His efforts have been untiring in behalf of Free Labor; and he has ever been the able and eloquent advocate of those true principles of govern ment which our Party reveres and incul cates. When placed in the Presidential chair which is as certain as that the suu shines in the heavens he will n-.-lore to i i u .. : . .. : . our glorious Republic that tranquility, and prosperity, and honor, of which the so-cad- ed Democracy have robbed it. And the life and puLdic career ol Hannibal Haimm afford an ample guaranty that he will do i hi Ti:nt in "-r.'-it wiii-lr f.f l!cP.iri,i I which is to be accomplished. ReA'Acc.l, That in Col. Andrew Gregt: Curtin, our nominee for Governor, we have a man, who, in virtue of his enlarged : ..ii- jv - ... l : . l-i experience in puoiic uiia:rs, liis in iiuoiic aua:rs, ins ihltu moral character, ana his nrm a-J lien; nee to the Right, is eminently and justly tjualified aud entitled to till the guberna torial chair of this great Commonwealth. His long aud proved devotion to the protection of American Iidutry ; his steady opposition to the extension of Slavery; and his unwavering fidelity t the interests of our State, have endeared him to the people and made his name a tower of strength. We cordially recom mend him to the voters of Cambria Conn- ! ty, feeling well assured the will do their part in achieving the glorious victory which awaits him in October. Resolved, That iu Hon. Samuel S. Blair, our member of Congress, we recognize a mau and a representative of whom Ave have reason to be proud. His labors in behalf of Protection and in favor of a Pacific Railway, have clc-ar'y demonstra ted that he is emphatically the man to jiuard the in'erests of this great Iron District. His record and career in Con gress furnish the best evidence that h-j was and is worthy the eonience repos ed in him two ears ago, as attested by the tremendous majority he received at the polls. We present him to-day as the unanimous choice of the People's Party of Cambria County ; and we ask his re nomination at the hands of the District Conference. Resohed, That convention take I pleasure in presenting to their constituen cy .the names of A.C. Mullin. for Assembly, E. F. Lytic, for Register and Recorder, James Cooper, for Commissioner, William Douglass, for Poor House Director, ;;ud Thomas J. Nelson, for Auditor; because the gentlemen are not only honest, pure and trood men. and faithful and t.-i..l members of our Party, Lut they also ros- i . . . iw- .- - , - - i: sess those qualifications for their resveeiive offices which should bring to them a firm ana an unwavering, and a cordial sui,;.ort.
