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.

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.

the fjuimi'km will be tested before the
Court.

Iowa, July 18, I860.
A. C. Mcllis, E?)-, and others Sir: Yours
of the 13th inst. is received, nnd I hasten to an
swer. 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. And inor
than this, 1 have made my business arrange
ments of such a character that it is utterl
impossible for me to go before the people the
enduing fall.

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.

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
