Tue following resolutions were read and adopted : The Kepublicana of Cambria county, in contention assembled, impressed with the nagnitude of the political issues which the people of the whole country are now called ?oa to decide, make the following declara- ;ja of principles : 1. Resolved, That the recent rebellion of Lf Southern States against the authority of le t cderal Government and the expressed -ill of a rnnjority of the American people, 3 unprovoked and unjust'hable, a ruurder ;3b!ow at the beDign and sacred institutions four fathers, and a monstrous crime against canity itself. I. Resolved, therefore, That we fully and ?artily endorse all the acts cf Congress and ithe martyred Lincoln, which aimed to 'f?rthrow the rebellion and preserve the i-aion, and that we approve with equal hear ''tn all the act3 of Congress which are ''tended to secure the loyal fruit3 ot the war make treason odious Vor all time to come. 3. Resolved, That the persistent and malig nant efforts of President Johnson to defeat the withes of the people, and make the war for the U.iion, in the words of the Chicago llattoria of 1SG4. 'a failure" rloscrro th sevetest, condemnation and the sternest re- fnd ca' loudly for the exercise by the peopes representatives in Congress of the tst TTcrogatire of impeachment and removal t'oci office. .,4- Halved, That the removal by the Pres ynt of Hon. Edwin M. Stanton from the post .f Secretary of War, which he had filled du r:a? the war. and Bubseouentlv. with sicnal "edit to himself and glory to the country, a3 an act of petty spite, prompted solely by Secretary's vigorous measures to carry iu enect, in their true spirit, tue reconstruc tion acts of Congress. 5. Resolved, That the courageous and deter mined course of General Ulysses S. Grant, in resisting the unconstitutional and despotic ffforts of the President to defeat the plain intent of the reconstruction act3 of Congress, commands our enthusiastic approval, and adds to the lasting debt of gratitude which the American people owe to the greatest captain f the ago. 6. Resolved, That the removal by the Pres ent of Generals Philip H. Sheridan and Uaniel E. Sickles from the commands respec tively of the Fifth and Seconi Military Dis tricts, was an act of the basest infamy, which Sieves the hearts of all loyal men and rejoi ns the hearts of all who are disloyal. These Generals had ferved their country with emi ut ability and brilliant success in the blood ieEt nd most desperate ordeal to which it s eTer subjected, and th alacrity with luch the Presddeut ignored those at,.;,.es t tha demand of impenitent rebels, ihowi how utterly lost' Is Andrew Johnson to all sense of shame and all regard for the good opinion of mankind. 7. Resolved, That we especially execrate the malignant order of the President, which com mands General Sheridan to proceed immedi ately to the Western frontier, without grant ing him a single day's rest from the arduous duties he has uninterruptedly been called upon to perform since the commencement of the war, and without affording the people he has served so well the opportunity to express to him in person their approval of his brave, intelligent and eminently just administration of the affairs of the Fifth .Military District. 8. Resolved, That we receive with great satisfaction the assurance from General Grant, expressed in Special Order No. 429, that "commanders of the Military Districts, created under the act of March 2, 1&G7, will make no appointments to civil office of per sons who have been removed by themselves or their predecessors in command" thu3 preventing the restoring to power of such prominent rebels as Mayor Monroe, Governor Wells and Gov. Throckmorton. 9. Resolved, That General Ulysses S. Grant i3 our first, last and only choice for the Pres idency, in 1868. 10. Resolved, That the nomination by the Democratic party of Pennsylvania of George Sharswood for Supreme Judge is an explicit indorsement of that gentleman's famous de cision in the case of Borie vs. Trott, wherein he declared the greenback currency of the country, issued by the Government as a war measure, to be unconstitutional, and therefore not money, but worthless paper. 11. Resolved, That in the language of the Pittsburg Post, the Democratic organ of Wes tern Pennsylvania, the nomination of Hon. Henry W. Williams, the Republican candidate for Supreme J udge, "is a good one," and that he "possesses legal and moral qualifications for the responsible position to which he has been nominated." Commendation such as this from a Democratic source is praise indeed. 12. Resolved, That we indorse the course of Hon. Simon Cameron, the Republican Senator from this State, and the course of Hon. Dan iel J. Morrell. our immediate Representative in the lower House of Congress. 1 3. Resolved, That the State Administration, of which General John W. Geary, for many years our fellow-citizen, is the honored head, is entitled to the confidence of the party which kept Pennsylvania true to the Union when rebel sympathizers within her borders sought to place the great old State in an attitude that would forever have stained her fair fame with disloyalty and dishonor. 14. Resolved, That we unanimously indorse the ticket this day nominated, and pledge to it our earnest support at the ballot-box.

Johkstqwn, Sept. 2, 1867. To the Editor of The Alltghanian : An exciting foot race came off at Woodvale on last Saturday, between Rob ert 13ruce, alias It. B. Way, of Alleghany city, and David C. Davis, the champion runner of this place. Distance, 100 yards ; stakes, 200. The result was a victory for "Way. Another race came off at the same place the same day between Thomas Parfit and Hendy. Distance, 100 yards ; stakes, 20. Parfitt came in the winner by some ten or fifteen feet. The pic-nic of the Grand Army of the Republic came o2 on Saturday at Wood vale grove. All those in attendance re turned home well satisfied with the day's amusement. A convention of delegates representing the Pittsburg district of the Turners As sociation will assemble here to-day. The societies of Johnstown, Pittsburg, Alle ghany, Cleveland anjd Wheeling will be represented. To-morrow, they will hold a grand pic-nic at Luenen's grove, at which prizes will be given to the most skillful in turning. A match game of base ball was played here on Saturday between the Junior Ju niatas of Hollidaysburg and the Junior Independents of this place. The latter club was waxed to the tune of 70 to 15. The Iron base ball club of this place intend taking a tour eastward next week. Their intention, I believe, is to play in Huntingdon on Monday, in Altoona with the Mountains on Tuesday, in Hollidays burg with the Juniatas on Wednesday, and in Ebensburg with the Mountaineers on Thursday.

Evan9, of OH City, is in town on a visit. Though he lays claim to the title of invalid, it is the unanimors verdict all around that he never looked better than now The Hollidaysburg Register asks, with reference to the return game of base ball between the "Mountaineers" of this place and the "Juniatas" of Hollidays burg, whether we can give aoy tidings of our club.

A public meeting was held in Homer on the 2Gth ultimo, favorable to the construction of a line of railroad from that point to Cherry Tree. One hundred thousand dollars' worth of stock was subscribed for. Mr. George Barrett was selected as chief engineer, and was instructed to commence an exper imental survey forthwith. We hear everybody saying and what everybody says must bo true that the largest, best selected and decidedly the cheapest stock of goods to be found in this or any other town, is to be found at J. M. Thompson's. Call and examine his goods before purchasing elsewhere. Refitted. Prominent among the many improvements now being made in our town, is the addition being made by C. T. Roberts to his jewelry store. His storeroom is now one of the largest in town, and is filled with an excellent selec tion of clocks, watches, jewelry, &c. N E W GOODS ! NEW GOODS 1 1 The general impression at the present time in regard to the selling of cheap goods is that V. S. Barker sells cheaper than the cheapest. Strangers in attend ance at court will do well to make, a note of this, as he has just received new goods. It is a natural result for people in need of any kind of goods to go where they can purchase the cheapest, and of course they go to A. A. Barker's. Crowds of custo mers, continually going and coming, bear testimony to his low prices. Removed. Messrs. Mills & Davis last week moved their stock in trade to their new storeroom, two doors west of the Post Office, where they will be pleased to haver their friends call and examine their new supply of goods. Pic-nic Mr. Richard Detling will give a grand pic-nic at Lily station on Monday, ICth ins:. Oceans of fun may be expected, and everybody is invited. Court is well attended this week. No business of importance has yet been trans acted. We will give an abstract of the proceedings in our next issue. Lost 1 On Tuesday, a silver breastpin with the initials "K. Z." engraved thereon The finder will confr a favor by returning it to this office. . GREAT ATTRACTIONS IN SUMMER GOODSt JUST OPENING AT T. S. BARKER'S CHEAP CASH STORE! Ebixsburq-, Pa.
