1 lie County Ticket.
It affords us much pleasure to be able to
Btato that the prospects fur the election of
our whole county Ticket are excellent
From every quarter the news is cheering.
There teems to he a general disposition
among the members of our party, who had
preferences for others than those nomina
ted, to lay them aside, and yield cheerfully
to the opinion of the delegates as expressed
in our County Convention. Some were of
course disappointed at the icsult of the
nominations, yet we believe all will con
cede that, on the whole, the selections
were as judicious as could have been made.
The nicinees, wc hesitate not to say, are
til well tried and well known friends of
our cause; and as such they are entitled to,
and will receive, the cordial and hearty
support of every true friend of the People's
Party. Let tur friends new go to work in
earnest, net trusting too much to the pop
ularity of our nomiuecs, or the strength of
our cause. Organize thoroughly in everv
borough aud townhip, tnd voik lor the
ticket until the fce-jiid luesday in Octo
ber, when victory will tcich ut cu all our
. candidates.

AND THE COUNTY TICKET.
IIUZZA FOR CUR SIDE !
According to previous notice, on last
Saturday evening the torchlight proces- I
sionofthe "El ensLurg Lincoln, Hamlin
and Curtin Club" came off. The manner
in which the arrangements fur the uccisiou
had been made, an 1 the entire harmony j
with which everything was conducted, j
artrue well ior the ability and encrirv of !
the Committee into whose hands was en
trusted this task. J
At nine o'clock, V. M., the members of j
the Club together with quite a number ,
of persons who were not member!, but j
who subsequently became such met at i
the Court House. The assemblage was I
... !
called to order by John Williams, K.-q , j
t lie President of the Club, wlni, it) a neat !
speech, explalued the object of the moot
ing. J. II. Campbell, Esq., was then loudly
called u;on for a speech, lie responded
iti a few remarks replete with sound argu
ment and common sense.
William Leavy, of Allegheny, then
came forward, an I in a brief speech
pledged himtelf and his endeavors fur
Lincoln, II;;mlin and Curtin and also
for the Couuty Ticket, pure aud unadul
terated. Peter Kayl-T, Jr., of Munster, also
made some pertinent rematks on the great
issues of the day.
Each of the speakers was frequently in
terrupted by enthusiastic outbursts of ap
plause. After the speeches had been delivered,
the procession was formed, under the su
pervision of Iaac Evan?, Esq., as Mar
shal, and Charles Owens and James Kay-
lor, Esquires, as Assittant Marshals ; j
and, bearing banners, transparencies, mot- j
toes, torches, &c., in their mid.vt, and j
preceded by at) excellent band of music,
they marched through the principal streets,
creating the utmost cuthusia.-ui wherever
they appeared.
'lhe following was the order of the pr
ccssio.i :
TOUCHES.

BAND i'F .VLfclC.
TltANsTAREN CI IS, l'ANM RS, IC.
MLMLLT.S Of Till. CLUB.
C1T1ZKNS.
Some of the transparencies wcie gotten
up in a really tasteful and artistic style.
The Srst iu the orJcr of the precession
was a very large or e, borne on rails by
four sturdy friends of Liberty. On one
side was a representation of the "old pub
lic functionary" leaving the White IIou?c
ou a two-wheeled go-cart drawn at a rapid
rate by a diminutive specimen of the long
tared tribe. On the reverse was the title
of the Club '-The Ebensburg Lincoln,
llamlin and Curtin Club."
Auovher unique and tasteful affair was
the -Ship of State." This was a trans
parcur y gotten up after the form of a ship,
with sails rigged and pennant flying. Ou
its sides weie inscribed the names of the
thirty-three States, and it. side vas a
counterpart of "Uncle Abe," holding the
rudder aud keeping her before the wind.
Another beautiful design was a glube
shaped transj arency. Aiound its ample
circumference was engraved the appropri
ate mottoes ''We know no Noith, no
South, no East, no West, uudcr the Con
stitution ;" 'ihe Union, one in responsi
bility, one in intercut, cue in will, and one
iu action."
Ou another was emblazoned the motto
"Honest Abe Lincoln born in Ken
tucky followed the plow and the path of
j rectitude iu Indiana and mauled rails
i aud Stepheu A. Douglas iu Illinois."
Together with a large number of oth
ers, equally appropriate aud as tastefully
executed.
After the procession had marched thro'
the principal streets, they proceeded to
their rooms, at the Couit House, when,
after three times time for Lin'-oln, Ham
lin, Curtin, and ihe County Ticket, they
aeljoui i.ed.
The whole afiair was well planned and
executed, aud reflects great credit on the
Club. By fcuch turn-outs is enthusiasm
inluitd into the mastes, and a complete
organization cfcctcd. And wheu our for
ces are well drilled and officered, as at
present, victory is ;urc to follow.

To the KdllorofTle Allryhanivn :
I have a few words, in reply to Mr. Canr.u'g
nnicles in several of the County papers ot last
week, that I ask ou to insert iu your columns.
The main object of the pentk-nian uppc-s-.r
to be to caricature mj s-taterunt of two wetks
ago; but I pa3 this all by, because I tonsiui-r
tlir source from which it emanates, and know
that it cannot injure me. His threats about
revealing something startling in my politic:. 1
history, that may have occurred In-ni the yti r
1S54 down to this present time, gives use no
alarm. His attacks on null members of the
People's I arty, as the Hon W. E. Frazer and
Jacob M. Campbell, E.-'i , are in very bad taste.
1 ft hey wish, they are able to defend themselves
against even such an able opponent.
In my letter of two weeks i'go, I asserted
that f'J'n-i'icc delegates were prest-nt iu the late
convention, and ttiat tvry delegate voted on
the first bal ot lor Register aud Becoidir. I
say so again, and defy Mr. C , cr any other
man, to produce one single ui-.lc-;alt in that
convention, who did not vote for Register and
Recorder on the tirx' and retry ballot. Until
this is done. I have proved that fifty-five oteS
were cast. Now, Mr. ( a lan claims u tit.'y-.itcu
votes on the first ballot ; and this is all lie
claims. All he claims would not nominate
hitu: and nn'ilbecan find tiro delegates in that
convention that did not vote on tin. t ballot,
his tunily-xean w 11 not eltct lie cannot fii.d
ttrv, nor ev n one. Let him be c: ndid, ui.u
confess his error it may io his soul good.
His charge that I expected to become a cuK
promist caii. lid:. te tor the cilice of Register
and Recorder is untrue. I to.d ut lcaat one
doze n of the delegates, on the dry of the con
vention, th. ;t I joniivey would not accept (;;'
nomination. 'i his stoiy is all an imagiii..t!or
on the part of Mr c, and it siiows how m
drowning mn will graf-p at straws "
I wish t inform the gentleman that I, alone.
Mil the author of the lette r that was published,
in the 'Alleghaiiian" two weeks vo: M.ditis
very unkind in him to charge au ini.ccer.t na -ty
with writing so '"poorly gotten up an arti
cle." as it appeals to him to be
lu conclusion, I say that I do not want a
controversy with the gen tic-ma n, nor did I
when I wrote the first letter; but my sole ob
ject was to let the people of my native coun
ty" know how the ballotings were conducted,
Had that I did not cheat e.r defraud this un
lucky aspirant for nomination.
1 in sorry to trespass upon yon and your
readers witu these articles ; but 1 tuist that
I will have uo occasion to do so verv soon
again. HOWAlCD J. ROBERTS.

To The Eoitoi; of The Alleciiaxias :
We see by the Johnstow n Tribune of the'.e.ih
iust., that J: mis Potts. E.-ei.. has got on h.s
htibby horse, for the purpose of trying to riue
into the legislature, lie has been training h.in
lor many days, and now p its him on the i.ci k
and says, now i.;y pony is the time to go it, lLr
here are three of us (brethren) on the road
trying the race, but I have the advantage over
tat-in both, for they will enily get A of the par
ty each, and not that in this e nd ct the county,
lor 1 wiil get tlu in and the l.ej.ubiican.i l.crt
in lhe bargain. tOr lLe-y are nireeus to hae
Johiutown for a county seat M. jor Potts ap
pears to be very modest, as if it as at the oi
sire of lhe people, that he eomes out as a can
didate, but the truth e.f it is that he himself
siij;yested it to tin rn first s me months past,
lie ci:mcs out with a very o:ly mouth, to lhe
j.eoplt of Jeilerson, viz: upon the distinctive
ground cf the removal of the county scat from
Lbcn.hurg to a convenieut point, to suit the
just rights of the people of the county, or u
division of the county H.r that purpose." But
his object, in truth, is to hte a new county
struck olf. so that Johtisiowu will be its couu
ty seat, lie and thos1 signers in the Tribune
are not working for the good of the people, as
they pretend, but, in reality, it, is then- own
interest, and not the people's, that they are
seeking, fur every sensible man knows that
Cambria is nearly the smallest county in the
State, and that Liu usl.i: i g is in the center of
the cuuniy, and has good roads leading to it
from every direction.

My reason for putting down Illinois and
Ohio is bicausejou say Lincoln is great at
splitting. Now, ii' his w e.:te will o.'.ly kee p
the splits open as they are now, he will get
both States ; but if those splits should close
before November, including Pi nnsyl vmi;.,
then he is a gone goose. Breckiuriuge w ill
carry all the sh.ve States, tegetl.er with Indi
ana, aud Caliloiuia, and I think Pierce will
carry New Hampshire fur him. L'ut all tins
won t e;uite reaeli. As to Douglas, he is out
of the (jut'stion. I go for Breckinridge, Lane,
Foster, uud Mapel.au too. Between you and
I aud the post, 1 don't think lha't Douglas will
get a single State. At all events, 1 will bet
an oyster supper for six that he does not get
as many votes as Gen. Scott had in '52 say
42. And as for G. X. Smith, he is Lou nd to go
the same road. If you can't beat him. M ich i l

He then adjusted two legs e.f
the chair on the cable, and again seated
himself. Coming nearer to the American

then got up and stood in the chair. When
