Our candidate for Governor, the gallant
Andrew Gitv.oa Ct itxiN, in his speech
before the State Convention which placed
him in nomination, declared that he would
"take the standard of the Party, and plant
it unon the shores of Lake Erie, and carry
it to the Delaware." The promise tints
made, he is now fulfilling; and most nobly
is he doinghis work. Under appointments
made by the Central Committee, he is now
canvassing the State, and addressing the
-'
masses upon all the vital questions involved
in the campaign. His personal poyularity
is 60 wide spread, and his ability as a tub
lie speaker is so well known, that the
people assemble by thousands at every
point where he is announced to appear.
All are anxious to hear this most noble
champion of our righteous cause; al!
arc eager to get a glimpse of the next
Governor of Pennsylvania. Ere the close
of the canvass, Col. Curtin will address the
People of Cambria county; and 'of the time
and place we will endeavor to gi'fo our
readers due notice. When he comes, he
will be greeted in a manner worthy of the
"frosty sons of thunder."
What a contrast is thus presented be
tween the course of our candidate, and that
pursued by the Loco-Foco nominee for
Governor. When Gen. Poster was nomi-
cated by the Reading Convention, his
friends here and elsewhere were loud iu
boasting that they too had a candidate who
could and who would go before the People
on the issues cf the day. But, with the
exception cf a speech or t.vo made ! v him
thortly cfttr his nomination, Foalc? has
L.fct once raised his voice ia the campaign.
And be it remembered, these exceptions
occurred prior to the Presidential nomina
tions Sloce the doings at Baltimore, the
tonguo cf tho eloquent Foster has becu
paralysed and silent as the -grave. Ills
fiieada attempt to explain this silence, by
eaying that he & lands upon the Platform
adopted by the Conveutloj which noiuinx
ted him, and that Li ha nothing to
mth national issues or naiiofial tanUiJatei.

The truth is, Gen
Foster ia ia an awk

ad'.oeate the cause of Douglas, without
uivimx offence to the fiieilM of Bie-ckiu-ridge,
and vice vtrfrt j whUst the studied
silence he maintains 13 killing him by
inches. It is quite likely he will play
mum throughout the campaign, and thus
endeavor to perform a great and unrivalled
equestrian feat, by riding into the Guber
natorial chair on two Democratic horses.
Our private impression is, that one ot the
horses we don't say which will slip
from under him on the second Tuesday of
October, and the General will get a full.

breasts four weeks ago perianal and section-

are to-day animated by a magnanimous
and earnest e'esire to elevate tho cuuc

ph:s to 7nm, to make all 1-jcu! and transi-
tory issues subservient to the welfare of
the great party which seeks to enhance
the prosperity and make more lustrous
the glory of the iSafcand ATr.iwn. Person
ally, Mr. Mullia is a clever gentleman
and abundantly competent to discharge all
the duties of a legislator and representa
tive. He has hosts of friends, to, who
have heretofore shown their appreciation
of his many manly qualities anJ bis fine
intellectual endowments by procuring his
nomination for several of the mo;t impor-
taut offices in the gift of the people of
this county. True, he has his enemies,
but what young m in whose talents audsu -

ber of cur party doubts the fidelity of Mr.
Mnllin to its principles, nor have any
forgotten the efficient services he has at
much personal sacrifice rendered that par-

Mont fortunate, therefore, was our County
Convention in nominating Edward F.
Lytic, K-q., for the portion. Ono of
tli-j most agreeable and affable of men ;
attentive and obliging in the intercourse
cf business ; a uood scholar and withal
an expert penman, his election will secure
to tho poop'e of Cambria county, the ser
vices of-a tirst-cdass oiaeor. We have en
joyed 3Jr. Lytl.'s acquaintance for u num
ber of years, and have often had cause to
admire him for his many good qualities of
head and heart, and for the manly and
active part he has uniformly played for the
success of our principles and our candidate.-.
No man has done more for the People's
Party of our county than Frank Lytic, and
the second Tuesday of October next will
bo a fitting occasion to prove to him, that
our political organization at least is not
ungrateful. His election of which we
have no doubt a ill be a just reward for
past services, and place the office for which
he is a candidate, in safe and competent

sene and judgment in the nomination of

he will make a faithful guardian of the
J interests of the people, while at the same
j time a friend and protector of the poor
and the unfoituuate placed in his charge,
there can be no doubt. A scat in the
Board of Directors of the Poor of our
county is an important post. In view of
the large amount of money disbursed at
the Poor House, under the supervision of
the Directors, taxpayers should be careful
to entrust the position to none but the ca-
j pable, the honest, and the worthy. Mr.
J Douglass combines all these qualifications
j n an eminent degree. Let him be tri-
j umphantly elected,
County Auditor.
j Our nominee for County Auditor is
j Thomas J. Nelson, Esq., of Clearfield
j township. The office in question, though
' the lowest on the list, is nevertheless one
of the greatest importance. While the
j people are interested in the faithful dis-
J bursemcnt of their funds by tho Comniis-
': of the taxpayer that these officers should
be veil qualified for the discharge of their
dutici. In .Mr. Xebon we have an excel
lent accountant ; a Crst-class citizen ; aud
an honest man. The Convention acted
wb-ely in placing him ia Domination, and
the People will act wisely in electing him.
