the Borough of Ebeuburg on Saturduy, the
24th day of August, at 4 o'clock P. M., for

Oh Consistency! Consistent)!
After having seen a large number of af
fidavits, certihcates ifcc, of Thomas. A.
Maguire and others, written and prepared
by himself, the said Thomas A. Maguire,
and published in the Johnstown Echo,
r-howing that the late County Convention
did not appoint a new set of Congression
al Conferees and a Democratic County
Committee, we had thought that he had
persuaded himself that he was telling the
rruth; and that he would not therefore be
in attendance as a member of said County
Committee on Tuesday last. But imagine
on I
disappointment when we seen him in
due attendance upou the call of Jaines
Murray, Chairman of said Committee, ac
compaiucd by his confederate in political
iniquity, James Potts, Esq. We acknowi
edge that we had a better opinion of Thos.
A. .Maguire than to suppose that he would
give the lie to all li is certificates, affidavits,
editorials for the Echo, fcc, and acknowi
cde the justice of the course of the late
County convention by attending as
member of the County Committee which
was appointed after the time which his
certificate stales that it had adjourned.
Even James Kennedy Esq., of afiidavi
notoriety was among the first to assert tha
he was a member of that County Commit
tec which by his solemn oath, was no
appointed until after the Convention had
adjourned. Notwithstanding he swore
that Mich committee had not been ap
pointed, he attended as a member, took
Ins seat as a member aim acted in
conjunction with the rest of the members
of that Committee. And how he can re
concile such conduct with his oath which
was published in the Echo.wc are at a loss
to know. If, however, he can succeed in
settling the matter with his own conscience
we shall be perfectly satisfied.
Jl here is one thing, however, to bo ob
served in this matter, and that is, that the
conduct of these men, Messrs. Maguire,
Potts and Kennedy have given the lie to
all their former assertions and protestations
and by their attendance at tho mee
ting of the County Committee on Tuesday
last have virtually acknowledged that we
were right and they were wrong in the
course that was severally pursued relative
to tho proceedings of the lata County Con
vention. This is all we wanted,.and hav
ing received this acknowledgement, we
. 1
can now pursue tnc eveu tenor oi our
v.ay" perfectly regirdiess of any thin::
that may hereafter be said on the ynjwt.
EBy reference to the proceedings of
the Democratic County Committee on
Tuesday last, and the "Call in to-day's
paper, it will be seen that a mass meeting
of the democracy has been agreed upon
as the means of settling this long contested
question of Congressional Conferees. Va
rious opinions were expressed by the
members of the Committee as. to the best
mode of settling the difficulty, and a mass
meeting was finally agreed upon as being
the best and most satisfactory. Every
man who feels any interest in the matter
will of course attend, and we sincerely
trust that every one that may be in atten-
a
dance will come prepared to act as a
democrat, cooly, deliberately and with an
eye single to the welfare of the party. A
glance at the political condition of the
country will be sufficient to satisfy any
democrat that the duty he owes to his
party ought to be sufficient to induce us
to pursue that course which the import
ance of sustaining our principles requires.
In the present crisis of our national af
fairs it is all important that this district
should be represented in Congress by a
democrat, particularly when we see the
abolitionists of the north and the uhraists
of the south uniting by their factious
movements to endanger the perpetuity of
our glorious Union." That Union under
which wc have grown to our present
state of prosperity and power, and became
jreat people. To the measures and
policy of the democratic party is chiefly
to be ascribed the present state of pros-j
perity of the people of the United States.
In their hands have the affairs of Govern-:
meni been chiefly administered since the
bundation, & whether in war or peace our
affairs have been managed with such skill
nd prudence, as to place the American
.1 !
name in the high position it now occu
pies. The brief period for which the
whig have occasionally been at the helm
of the Government has proven their utter
ncompetence to guide the ship of State
and this fact has never been so strikingly
manifested as during the past sixteen
months. It would indeed be difficult to
say whether the country has suffered most
by the acts of a blundering administration
n our foreign relations, by the plundering
of a set of Galphins upon the Treasury,
or the dissention's and domestic difficulties
reated at home by the agitation of the
slavery question, and arraying the differ
ent sections of the Union against each
other. In this state of things it will not
do for the democracy of this staunch dis
trict to become distracted, and divided, or
to fritter away its strength upon rival candi-
atcs, & thus add to the chances of the elec
tion of a Whig. It will thus be seen that the
approaching Congressional elections arc
important, and every effort will be made
by the administration now in power to
secure a inaionty in congress, m orucr
that they may be enabled to fasten upon
the country some of their odious federal
measures. Let not the'democracy of this
district, by their private quarrels and dis.
sentions contribute to this result, and we
repeat that we sincerely trust that the
democracy of little Cambria will prove
their attachment to their party and the
sincerity oi their principles, ry auenuing
this Count- meeting as democrats who
j o
feel the importance of success and the
duties devolving unon them in order to
secure it.
m. T. Blorison.
It is gratifying to perceive with what
unanimity the democracy in every section
of the Stale arc uniting in support of our
Farmer-Candidate for Canal Commission
er. As a member of the Legislature his
f a a
straight lorward and democratic course
has endeared him to every member of the
party, and as a citizen his character is
above reproach. Besides this he is known
to be a man of intelligence, intimately ac
quainted with the system of our internal
improvements, and faithful in the dis
charge of Ins duty. It is these qualities
which has endeared to the people, and
which will secure his election by a trium
phant majority. A correspondent in the
Northern Pennylvanian, writes as fol
lows: "In this county, (Susquehanna,)
the Demcratic party is united and firm.
We like the V illiamsport nominations
very much that of Mr. Morison, for Ca
nal Commissioner, is peculiarly gratifying
to us. His stright forward, radical t!
mocracy iu the Legislature has gained for
him public confidence iu this section o
the Slate in an eminent degree, and I think
nay, 1 ara confident that he will poll
heavier vote here than any other candi
date could possibly obtain. Montgomery
county is highly honored in having the
candidate taken from her midst, whilst
Judge Longsteth still hold3 his his seat in
the Board But she lc:enes the honor
for her steadfast devotion to principles, and
the candidate she presents is as sterling
a3 the county he hails from
EPClay's Compromise Bill has been
defeated by one vote, and thus the labor
of eight months has been destroyed. In
consequence the ship of State is again ca
reering among the shoals of abolitionism
and Southern fanaticism, and every thing
about Washington is thrown into confu
sion. It is confidently predicted by many
that the provisions of the Compromise
Bill will be passed in several and separate
bills, and as a precursor of this event, a
bill lias already been introduced relative
to the Texas question which gives satis
faction to the Texan members. The for
mation of a. Territorial Government for
Utah was the only provision in Mr.
Clay's Bill which was sustained.
Next United Statrs Senator.
We observe that the bedford Gazette
strongly urges the claims of Col. He-
Caxdlkss, of this city, for the office of
U. S. Senator. Oiher gentlemen have
been named who would do honor to the
party and service to the people of the
State and country. But we ptesume no
one will question the eminent fitness of
Col. McCandless, for the post and those
who know him as intimatly as we do will
a - . .a .
never hesitate to trust him with the in
terest of the people, for on all subjects
which immediately concern his fellow
citizens, he takes the broad ground upon
which the democratic party now stands.
Should Col. McC. be elected, his speeches,
votes and personal influence will surely
be thrown into the right 6cale. He is a
Radical Democrat, not a Conservative.
The election day is a long way off, but
it is not now too soon to present the
claims of distinguished Pennsylvanians
for a station so high and important as U.
S. Senator. We hope the press of the
State will give the friends of Col. McC.
a fair hearing.
The following is the article ft on the
Bedford Gazette:
Pittsburg Post:
"For United States Senator we are for
Col. Wilson McCandlkfs, of Pittsburg,
and we have no concealment on the sub
let. The West is entitled to the man
all admit this and Pennsylvania has no
one within her borders who would reflect
more credit upon the Commonwealth
han Col. Wilson McCandless. Iliselo-
, I . i
quence as a speaker nis ununng ana
persevering energy in the cause ot De
mocracy his deportment as a gentlemen
neighbor, 'and friend, all conspire to make
urn the man that ought to be chosen.
l"he election of such a noble champion
to the U. . oenate, would give tne
great Keystone State her proper position
as tne arcn mat wines inis giunuus
Union. Let the Democratic parly at once
concentrate upon W. IWcO. let tnem
instruct their Representatives to support
him let us harmonize all differences of
opinion to secure a majority in the next
Legislature and bargaining poticians
will meet the fate they so justly deserve.
Who will back us in a concentrated oftort
to throw the vote of the State upon a
true Democrat in the West, and thus
save the party from odium and disgrace?
Meeting of the County Committee
In pursuance of the notice published in
the Mountain Sentinel, the members of
the Democratic County Committee assem
bled in the Court House on Tuesday last
to decide upon the manner of selecting
three Congressional Conferees to meet
like Conferees from Bedford and West
moreland. James Murrav, Esq.. being

delegates to be chosen by the democracy
of their respective election districts on
Saturday the 17th of August inst., to meet
at Ebensburg on the Tuesday following,
to appoint three Congressional Conferees
to meet the Conferees from Bedford and
Westmoreland counties.
John C. O'Neill moved to amend the
resolution as follows:
Strike out all after word Resolved, and
insert The Chairman of this County Com
mittee be reouested to call a meeting of
the Democracy of this county to meet at
Ebensburg on such day as he may desig
nate, and at four o'clock in the afternoon
of said day, to appoint three Congression
al Conferees to meet the Conferees of
Bedford and Westmoreland at such time
and place as may be hereafter agreed upon
for the purpose of placing in nomination
a democratic candidate for Congress.
Thomas A. Maguire moved to amend
the amendment by the following resolu
tion. 0
Resolved, That the Crawford county
system be adopted in obtaining an expres
sion of the democracy of Cambria county
in the choice of a candidate for Congress,
and that the Chairman be directed to give
the necessary notice for carrying out this
object, and that the individual having the
largest number of votes lor Congress b
authorized to appoint three Conferees to
advocate his nomination.
After considerable discussion on these
several projects, in which Messrs. J. C.
O'Neill, Maguire, Potts, P. Shiels, and
others took part, a vote was taken upon
Mr. Maguire's amendment to the amend
ment and lost. The question was then
upon Mr. O'Neill's amendment, which was
carried, and a mass meeting was agreed
upon.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
JAMES MURRAY, Chairman.
Matthias Harr, Secretary.
For the Mountain Sentinel.
Dear Sir: Since your last paper, I
have the pleasure to announce to your
numerous readers and the public generally,
that very extensive preparations are being
made to fit up the ground and erect spien
did and commodious buildings at the Sul
nhur Springs adjoining the town of Eb
ensburg. The quality of the water for
medicinal purposes is not excelled any
where in the United States, as has been
fully and satisfactorily made manifest by
Professor Campbell in his late investiga
tion. Nothing, therefore, remains but the
investment of capital by the proprietor to
hand his name down to posterity as a
public benefactor of the human race.
I have been informed that contracts are
already made with T. J. Rodgers & Co.,
to put up a building of size and dimen
x . i . i i i i
sions to accommodate one nunureu auu
seventy-five visitors, besides splendid bath
houses, saloons and other houses equally
necessary to render pleasure and comfort
to all who may make it a place of resort.
Our citizens are busily engaged in taking
stock to construct a plank road from town
to trjp springs, distance about three quar
ters of a mile, which will be made on the
most approved plan. The grading and
laving of this road, I am informed, has
been contracted for by J. T. Fresh & Co.,
who have been engaged in that business
for many years on the borders of the New
York line.
The whole improyements will be com
pleted "early next spring. In the mean
time, 1 woula here say, that our town
furnishes Hotels to the number of four,
not surpassed in any inland town of Penn
sylvania; the climate unequalled in the
world; her inhabitants proverbial lor their
kindness, hospitality and social feeling.
In fact, this place is destined both by na
ture and nature's God to be the great
place of resort, both for the fashionable
and the sick; the former will find an un
bounded field for his ambitious exercise,
and the latter, the wholesome retreat,
where their drooping spirits and aching
bones will receive a comforter that knows
no end and" seeks no reward, other than
the labor honestly conferred to restore to
perfection the system prostrated by mis
guided notions, called folly and vice.
Much credit is due to the worthy propri
etor for this manifestation of public spirit,
which will add so much to benefit our
town and give to the county that character
which she so long has been deprived.
With the aid of the enterprising contract
ors whose names are a passport to the
most lively anticipations of a well done
job, we can promise our friends through
out the country one ot the most pleasant
and delightful retreats in the country.
VIATOR.
Bolters.
The Oxford (Maine) Democrat speak
ing of the attempt, for sometime unsuc
cessful, to elect a U. S. Senator in that
State, says:
"Suppose, however, that you preler
another man, and consequently "bolt,"
what do you gain for the interest of your
, a a
party i W uy, you give tne opposition me
advantage, and perhaps gain defeat, which
shows that you think more of gratifying
your will, than of promoting the principles
of the party to which you belong, and pro
fessedly approve, l ou are a Democrat,
and because you are opposed to the indi
vidual nominated by a large majority of
the Democratic party, you vote for some
other man of the same party, what do you
gsin in favor of Democracy? Nothing; for
the Whigs never lend their aid m promo
ting Democratic principles. They take
advantage of your position and expect to
make capital oui of it But suppose you
like the Whig candidate, as a man, better
than the candidate of your own party, and
vote the Whig ticket? .What then? Why
you throw your influence on the side of
federalism, and show that you have more
regard for men, or for gratifying, like Ar
nold, a revengelul spirit, than lor the prin
ciples of Democracy? Such a course is
treacherous, for the following may be the
result. For instance, you vote the federal
ticket for representative to Congress, and
your vote with the votes of those you draw
off with you is the means of electing him.
He goes to Congress; by his vote a feder
al measure is 'carried, disastrous to. the
prosperity of the people, and of course op
posed to the principles of democracy.
All this may be the result of "bolting,
and the man who will thus place himself
in a position to aid in bringing about such
a result, is unworthy the confidence of the
Democratic party; and thanks to the intet
iigence anu integrity oi tne people, lie
never receives it. What has been the fate
of all factions and seceders from the Dem
ocratic ranks? They have almost invari-
auiy ueen iosi in me logy oi leueraiism,
alias Whiggery, or hung up between the
neavens ana earth (the Democratic and
federal parlies) as fit for neither. Let all
"bolters" Jake warning. Stick to "the
Democratic party and your country, right
or wrong not to encourage wrong, but
in case they err, to set them right."
c nyhowcrr weather, this.
From the San Francisco Herald June lb.
The Great Fire at San Franeiseo.
We have scarcely courage or spirit to
attempt calmly to record this last and most
terrible disaster to our apparently doomed
city. We know not how to sufficiently
collect our thoughts or our energies under
this stunning blow. In a little more than
three hours, at least two-thirds of the
weathiest portion of the city have been
consumed. The property of the heaviest
houses in town the hard earnings of
years of successful industry have been
swept away. Gloom and desolation have
settled on many a stout heart. Many a
man in easy circumstances has been
brought to the verge of rum. The com
mercial greatness of this fair city has re
ceived a shock from which it will not re-
cover lor many a montn to come, it is
the will of God we bow with humility to
this a wuu dispensation of an all-wise
Providence.
The fire originated in a back building
attached to the Sacramento House, be
tween Sacramento and Clay streets. It
occurred a little before 8 o'clock A. M.,
and as the wind was high at the time, it
communicated quickly to the adjoining
buildings. When we arrived at the scene
of conflagration, the flames were moving
a o -
in an immense volume lrom the direction
of Sacramento street to the corner of Mont
gomery and Clay. The Mayor and all
the principal citizens were promptly on
the ground.but the supply of water being
limited, no effort was of any avail to arrest
its piogress short of Clay street. Here a
determined stand was made, but notwith
standing the most active and ceaseles ex
ertions, the flames spread to the north side,
and extended as far as Mr. Naglee's unfin
ished building on Montgomery street.
The banking house of Mr. James King,
of Wm., was torn down, and this enabled
the citizens to arrest the progress of the fire
at this point. Mr. Naglee's loss was com
paratively trifling.
Meantime the wind carried the flames
down with resisdess fury to the water's
edge, sweeping in its progress the whole
of the blocks from Clay street on the north
to the north side of California street inclu
sive, and from Kearney street, with but
the exception of a few houses, to the wa
ter. It is owing to the noble and manly
exertions af Gregory YaLe, Esq., assisted
by several citzens, that the shipping in the
harbor was saved from destruction. Mr.
Yale was deputed by the Mayor to pro
ceed to this point and to use all means ne
cessary to arrest the progress of the con
flagration. He remained until he was
pressed so hard by the flames that he was
obliged to escape in a boat.
If any man more particularly than all
others deserves the thanks of the commu
nity, it is Col. Jack Hays. We know no
terms of commendation sufficiently strong
to express our admiration of the conduct
of this gallant officer. But for his noble
exertions the whole of the block bounded
by the north side of Clay street, and from
Montgomery street to the water, would
have been sacrificed. He formed a line
from the Artesian well in the building
known as the Pacific Baths, in Montgom
ery street, to Clay street, and by the most
untiring efforts kept the fire at bay. Sev-
eral times he was obliged to descend from
the ladder, reeling under the scorching heat;
but even after the fire had been partially
subdued, he remained on guard till 4 o'
clock in the afternoon.
The banking-house of Burgoyne t Co.
is again unscathed by the flames being
the third time this establishment has pass
ed the fiery ordeal. The community have
begun to regard it as a sort of salamander
concern that cannot be burned up. While
the conflagration was raging most fiercely
the neighonng bankers, the collector of
customs, and many of our principal mer
chants deposited their large amounts of
treasure. Connected with the building is
a powerful force pump with hose, by
means of which water was conducted to
some of the neighboring buildings; which
rendered very great service.
The entire loss is estimated at from three
to four millions of dollars.
It is worthy of note that a vast amount
of property was saved by constant supply
of water from the artesian well belonging
to the Pacific Baths in Montgomery street
The proprietois of this establishment are
entitled to warm praise. Their house was
thrown open to refresh the exhausted la
bors at the fire, and with the readiest gen
erosity they volunteered the use oi their
inexhaustible supply ot water. The whole
block on which our office stands was saved
by this artisian well.'
W e deeply regret to learn that the pro
prietors of the Journal of Commerce are
severe loosers by the fire. They saved
nothing but the forms and a small quantity
of their type besides.
Our own loss is comparatively trifling
We have lost none of our property by the
fire, having bv the aid of the best friends
ever any establishment had, succeeded in
saving our building.
The Canada's News-
"We glean some additional scraps of the
one week later news, per Canada, from the
Boftojifpaners of yesterday:
fiaynau had been dismissed in disgrace
from the government of Hungary. The
immediate cause of his dismissal, is owing
to his having set at liberty Bezeraday,
confidential friend of Kossuth. The gov
ernment would gladly dismiss Radetsky,
too, from his Italian command, but he is
too powerful in his commeud. The chol
era is less violent at Vienna.
The news of the revolt in Turkey con
tinues conflicting. Letters from Seralin
of the 3d announce that the Bulgarians
had taken the. city of Begrave, alter an
obstinate rc?it3ncc, and had captured
eight cannon. The force of the Bulgarian!
amounts to 19,000 men. Theie is reason
to believe that the revolt is- of a serious
character.
DENMARK AND THE DL'CIirES.
Lilllc doubt exists but that hostilities
have ere this, actually recommenced be
tween Denmark and the Duchies. If so
important results are likely to ensue, as
large Russian fleet is off the coast, for the
avowed purpose of giving the Danes all
the assistance they may require.
Dates from Hamburgh to the 15th, state
that a hostile movement on the part of
Denmark has been made. She had placed
her troops across the frontier of the Duch
ies, in a decisive manner. Holstein is
supported by Brunswick, Hanover, and a
few of the German Confederated State?,
w hile Denmark has the firm support of a
Russian Fleet of about eighteen Sail of the
Line.
It is reported that the Prussians have
made a retrogade movement from Schle2
wig, and that the Danish Quartermaster
has sent orders on as far as Fleursburg, to
have quarters prepared for a large body of
troops to be placed in occupation there.
Several of the German and Prussian offi
cers have joined the Holstein Army with
a view to active service. In addition to
the 8 sail of Russians, it is said that ad
ditional vessels have been since off Ros-
tick. The correspondent of the London
Herald says "The greatest anxiety is
now manifested to ascertain how far the
Russian Government will interfere to put
a slop to any further intervention. The
Hanoverian Chamber has expressed the
greatest sense of dissatisfaction at the con
clusion of the Peace; and it is likely that
the Chamber will force the Government
to render all the protection it can to the
cause of the Stadt Hoidrate against Den
mark, in which case there is much reason
to apprehend war, and one in which Eng
land will be more or less mixed up."
Another correspondent writing on the
evening of the 15th, says: "I have no rea
sonable question that a couple of battalions
of Holstein Infantry have entered the
Duchy of Schleswig." Intelligence has
been received and posted in the Borsen-
halle, to the effect that the head-quarters
of the Schleswig Holstein Army were to
be, and are this day in the town of Schles
wig. Consequently, the war may be said
to have commenced. Six Danish and
Russian ships of war have been cruising
since yesterday before the harbor of Kiel.
THE GERMAN" EMPIRE.
The College of Princes has been held.
but nothing definite has been effected m
the settlement of the affairs of Germanv.
The late correspondence between Prussia
and Austria, on the construcjion of an In
terior Central Government of Germany,
has failed to produce any result: still.
Prussia does not abandon the hope that an
agreement will eventually be made, and to
effect which, she proposes to prolong the
present organization of the Union for three
months longer, to which most of the States
have assented. The Zollverain Congress
is being held at Eapel. It is considered
certain, that the Prussian propositions for
an increase of protection to the manufactu
rers will not pass.
Terrible State of Affairs on the Rio Grande.
By arrivals at New Orleans, dates from
Brownsville to the 17th ult. have been
received.
The Sentinel says: We learn, bv an
arrival from the Upper Rio Grande, that
the crops, this side of the Rio Graude
City, have been materially injured bv ths
late freshet.
Mr. H. G. Stilwell arrived at Browns
ville on the 16th. His house, nine miles
on the other side of the Rio Colorado,
containing his family and four Mexicans,
was attacked on the 10th inst. by eleven
Indians, who surrounded the premises
and kept up a constant fire for about half
an hour, without doing any other injury
than killing two horses that were tied at
the door. One of the party then came
forward, at what he no doubt considered
a safe distance, as if to challenge, when
Mr. Stilwell shot him dead. The party
then left, taking away three horses, and
made towards Brownsville. A Mr. Hol
brook, one of Stilwell's part', was sur
rounded, while in the woods, by a party
of Indians, and murdered.
In Brownsville, on the 16ih inst., while
two Mexicans were playing cards togeth
er, one of them, named Francisco Flores,
drew a pistol and fired it full in the face
of the other. One shot took effect in the
shoulder of the intended victim, and an
other lodged in the neck of one Delesforo
Lirendo, causing his death in a few hours.
Flores attempted to escape by swimming
across the river, but was taken by the in
furiated populace and hanged.
Capt. John Brennan was murdered at
Brownsville, on the night of the 10th inst,
by a notorious desperado, named Bill
Hardy. Both parties were recently from
Galveston. Hatdy, it is said, was former
ly in the navy, and was also an associate
of Captain Glanton who was recently
killed by the Yumas Indians, at the junc
tion of the Colorado and the Gila. The
Flag gives the following particulars of the
murder:
From the facts elicited on the coroner's
inquest, it appears that the above two,
with a number of others, were at one of
the fandango houses, where they remained
till between l and 2 o clock in the morn
ing, when Captain Brennan left for his
place of lodging. He had not proceeded
far, when he was overtaken by Hardy,
who, without any previous warning, drew
his knife and thrust it to the hilt in Bren
nan' s left breast. Seeing Hardy's move
ments, he threw up his hands and ex
claimed, "Bill don'l cut me." It was too
late: (fie fatal stab came too quick and tot
