B. rainier, Esq., New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. JtsSy We hope every Democrat in the county will READ the ADDRESS of the County Com mittee, published in this week's paper. We do earnestly desire UNION of the whole party here and in a short time, will submit a fair and hon orable proposition to accomplish it. Tlic Reading Convention. Three weeks since wc stated our views as to (he duties to be performed by this Convention, and since then our opinions have undergone no change. It meets at Reading on next Wednes day; June 4th, and assembles for a specific pur pose to place in nomination candidates for the offices of Governor and Canal Commissioner, to be supported by the democratic party next Oc tober. For that object have the delegates been appointed, and to its fulfilment they should confine themselves. It has been asserted that an effort would be made, there, to have an ex pression concerning the choice of the Keystone State for the Fresidcncy, but as this matter was not made an issue at the time of the election of delegates, and their appointment was not based upon the supposition as to who they were in favor of, or opposed to, for this important office, it would be a question beyond their legitimate duties, and can certainly meet with no favor from the radical democracy and well wishers of the party throughout the State. Such a course if persisted in might lead to consequences inju rious to the democratic party and we hope the Presidential question will remain as it now is, until the proper time arrives, when the people can have an opportunity of expressing their preference. Col. Wm. Bjglli:, of ricai field county, whom wc designate as the "wheel horse"' of democra cy in this State, in that Convention will be nom inated for Governor. The voice of the people in the State speaks for him almost unanimous ly, and a better and a more deserving democrat could not be found. With Bigler as our candi date the party, next fall, will be victorious. Hid many virtues, hi;i true devotion to demo cratic measures and men, his honesty and in tegrity will place him in the Gubernatorial chair 'y a real Jackson majority. V1. SAMttL W. Black, ot Pittsburg, will have m.uiy friends and a number of delegates in that Convention, and wc would be much pleased to see him receive a vote, that would, while it was intended no leta nn a compliment to himself, his talent--, and hi coinage, than to the gailant democrats of the west who support J.im, place him in a conspicuous portion before the people for the nomination at a future day. For the office of Canal Commissioner four -cntkmcn have been named, viz: Wm! S. t'anipbcll, of Cambria; John P.. Bratton, of Cumberland, Gen. Scth Clover, of Clarion; and Wm. Scaright, of Fayette. Wm. S. Cajii uell is a citizen and resident of our own Cambria, was last year Superintendent t u,c 1 oitagc Railroad, and this year Supervi- .01 01 nepairs on the same. He is eminently qualified for the "office, is an excellent business man, and in the .litharge of thc duties of his cvcral appointments, has conducted thc busi ness in a satisfactory manner and most econom ically. He is perfectly familiar with the wants of our public iinptovemcnts, having had much rxptrknee, and would be a valuable "acquisition lo thc Canal Board. lie is n resident of our own county, a good democrat, fully competent, and as Cambria has never had one of her citi zens in any important office, he is our first hoice. John B. Brattox, Eo q , of Cumberland, is Uic efficient editor of thc Carlisle "Volunteer," i.d lu,3 been .luring ,i3 life an able advocate and defender of thc doctrines and men of thc party. He is both competent and deserving, and next to Mr. Campbell there is no man in the State whom wc would sooner support for thc nomination. Gen. Clov;k, of Clarion, will be supported hi.i numerous friends in a creditable manner, nd although wc know )ut i(t!o cniiccrij;ng 1'nn, wc inU-r from thc tone of Ihc press in his action of the Stale, that he would, if nomina te I, make an excellent and worthy officer. (',A 't Ar':'T, of Fayette, is Fai l to be an tiKTgctio and business-like man. For pome .yea. he bet., the President of thc Nation hoad Company.

Jot "('. A Sturm. Our village was visited on Thursday evening Inst, with a tremendous hail storm, accompa nied with a severe wind, thunder and lightning. It lasted but a few minutes and the ground was white as winter with hail. : The hail ' generally was as large as a hickory nut, but wc noticed many as large as a walnut, some of thorn weio-h- ing four ounces. x No damage in town except to several windows. The storm extended for seven miles North and North-East, and in that section unroofed several barns, uprooted trees, tore down fences and pelted the cattle most un mercifully. A farmer had four calves knocked down. In Lorctto, the windows suffered very much from it. The grain is material injured in the north. South and cast of this, there was no hail worth notice. Ceo. Thompson. This personage, the associate of Garrison, Quincy, Abby Kelly, and their clique, the same man who prates so much of the freedom of speech in this country, once, in Scotland, inci ted Rev. Alexander Campbell, of Virginia, the founder of the Campbellitcs, to a controversy, which he accepted, and when Mr. C., complete ly worsted him, Thompson placed him in prison for exposing his villiany. After such a course it. ill-becomes him to charge the Americans with denj irig-to'Shim the liberty of speech. Thomp son said in Pic 'a a few days since, that no minister in;, a& CQtatry preached the truth from the pulpit, rr an'led them all knaves, lie is in every r ,. tla deep and designing villian, an emissary fMcat Britain, landed here to cre ate sectional dinerenccs and animosities in our midst, and docs not, and never can receive any countenance from the true and loyal friends of our glorious country. Wc read with regret that a few higher law men at Norristown, Pa., have invited him there to speak, but wc hope that the Keystone State may never be polluted by the tread of such a slanderer and rcviler of our country and our country's laws, as George Thompson. Mayor Geary Declines. Col. John W. Geary, formerly of this county, and at present Mayor of the City of San Fran cisco, California, was solicited, by letter, dated April 1th, addressed to him by a large number of the merchants and citizens of that city, with out distinction of party, to become a candidate for re-election, but in his reply he states that "duty to himself and family requires me to de vote my whole time to my private interests. cannot, therefore, be a candidate for re-election. 1ST The Locusts have made their appearance in the eastern part of the State, also in Mary land. They arc of the 17 year Fpccies, and their presence fully verifies the prediction made by Dr. Smith of Baltimore. There are none to be seen in this section, yet. XS" Wc return our thanks to Col. Geary, and D. A. Magchan, Esq., of San Francisco, for copies of the California papers, bringing news from that country up to April 12. fciTCoI. D. K. Mart-Land, editor of the Grecnsburg Republican, lias been recommended as a candidate for the office of County Treasur er. Wc hope the Col. may be nominated. In Westmoreland it is customary for persons desi ring office, to advertise through the papers, and wc think it might be done here, so as the pc.'pb may know who will be in the field. f-7Sevcral public meetings have been held ill Wpstrnnvrl-irnI .... tu l U1C ,1UCS Hull I H (llVISlon r.f MiO nAnntr I.. a?

"He who runs may read," but it sometimes happens that he who reads may run. So it has been with him ur regard to -his course on this subject He has read the article, cannot answer it, and runs away from it. We ASK him to meet our charges, nay, wc DEMAND an answer to our assertions. He charged the democracy with a plunder of the public treasury, wemcttheques tion and turned the tables upon him, and now want him to disprove the following and give us the figures. Come on Major, and if you smart under it, dispute it like a man. Docs not the present Whig administration in a time of peace, expend annually, $SOO.OOO more than the democrats did under Polk's ad ministration, when the country had all the ex penses of a war with Mexico to provide for? Has there not been an increase in the ordinary expenses of the Government, under Whig rule, of $12,000,000 yearly, over the expendi tures of the late Democratic Administration?

Thc United Service Journal, thc recognized organ of thc army and navy, has the following severe thrust at Gen. Scott, which wc recom mend to the favorable consideration of certain Scott papers in thc country, that imagine the mere military character of a man is sufficient to raise him to thc highest office in thc gift of thc people.. It is, in our opinion, thc truth iu its fullest sense. "Thc choice of our people having recently fallen on generals for Presidents, is likely to exert a fearful influence 011 the destinies of this nation. Arc we soon to sheer into the fatal vortex that swallowed up the great Roman Republic? What! arc our people so easily be reft of their reason and sound judgment, that instead of seeking out a citizen of experience to guide the helm .of State one whose great intellectual qualifications, vast civil abilities, profound love of country, deep erudition, un questionable integrity, firmness of mind, one incapable of being swayed iy flattery, they arc willing now to take none but a general from thc army ? "Thc present General-in-Chief is no' in the political arena, an I on a political tour. Thc appropriations for the Quartermaster's Depart ment have been neglected; and, it is said, that department has not funds enough to transport a single regiment to thc lines; more, that two of thc Light Artillery Batteries have been dis mounted, and the horses sold, and other enact ments made highly prejudicial to the service. Is not this humiliating? When thc poor Mexi can borders, and our own people arc looking to us for protection, thc army is rendered impo- r . - i-a o j of affording assistance."'

Beattv, two of Butler county's no blest men, now sleep thc sleep that knows no waking. Their loss to Butler is indeed a sad one. The character of Judge Bredix was above reproach, above suspicion. His private, social, and religious life was one of unblemished in tegrity. His political life was honest, consistent and pure, lie was President Judge for a num ber of years of thc district composed of thc counties of Butler, Beaver, Lawrence and Mer cer, and discharged his duties faithfully and satisfactorily, lie was, at thc time of his dc- ing hand of a friend; I found in Judge Brcdin one, on whom I could always rely. 1 was devo lcdly attached to him. loved him as a json loved an affectionate father.

Last Thursday evening a large meeting was held at thc Chinese Museum in Philadelphia to condemn thc course pursued by Collector Lewis of that city. Thc speakers and audience were Whigs, and resolutions were offered denouncing tho language used by thc Collector against the mechanics of that city, and requesting the I resident to remove him. Much confusion en sued, huzzaing, hissing, and cries of "put out thc gecsc." Thc resolutions, it is said, were not adopted. Thc meeting broke up in a row It is supposed 10,000 persons were present. So much for thc unanimity of thc Whig party.- Three cheers were given for Clat, but not a word said a'jout Scott. The Whig party in that city is sadly divided. F. K.

The New York Herald publishes thc following challenge of Tom Kenney to Tom Hyer, which designates thc Summit of the Allegheny Mountains as the place where this brutal prize fight is to take place. Wc can say to them if the summit in this county is referred to that, it is not an obscure place, and they will meet with a peck of trouble if they attempt to do battle with their fists in this county, for no one desires thc universal green of our moun tains dyed red with thc blood of cither of these pugnacious ruffians. Tom Kenney, or OIl Kent tick, to Tom Hyer, or JVew York. Locisville, Ky., May 5, 1851. Feiexd Bennett YouT will oblige mc by giving space to the following lines : Tom Hycr's challenge to thc world will be accepted for one thousand dollars, five hundred of which I will deposit in the hamls of Robert Flanagan, of Philadelphia, at Ilyer's notice. I will fight him in a ring of forty feet. I will give him his choice of time, but will require of him to ob serve thc twelfth rule of thc ring, to wit: a stand up fight. If Tom Hyer accepts my chal lenge, he will address me through the Herald, and then, as I am a poor man, we shall settle by note. I would prefer the summit of the Allegheny Mountains for thc contest, as it is obscure, and likely wc should not be troubled. I shall await his reply, and remain, with res pect, yours, TOM KENNEY. Col. Wm. Uiglcr. The Daily American, the organ of Governor Johnston, at Harrisburg, exibits rather a ner vous sensibility at thc signal unanimity mani fested in thc Democratic ranks in favor of the nomination of Col Bigler, and cxausts an entire column of empty words in thc vain attempts to show that there may still be disaffection in our ranks. Thc scriptural admonition to "first cast out thc beam out of thine own eye and then shalt thou sec clearly to cast out the moat out of thy brother's eye" might be profitbly consul ted by the American. If tlic editor will first re move the mountains in the way of harmony in thc whig ranks he will then, perhaps, sec more clearly, and more correctly estimate the magni tude and inportance of the mole hill that ob structs thc harmony of democracy. He but illy conceals his feeling and belligerant inclinations towards Col. Bigler, in all that refers to thc Gu bernatorial question. Wc hope thc "organ" will keep cool. In due time it shall understand the position of thc democratic candidate; and if it insists on it, in the contest, as it is now evi dently inclined to do, it can have quite as much of a belligerant quality to take care of as it may desire. Thc Democracy ask no favors on this point. It is our wisTi to treat Gov. Johnston with fairness and candor; but it is evident that this is not thc inclination of thc "organ" towards Col. Bigler, and as it seems determined to take thc lead in every thing, it can very readily give to thc canvass thc elements of violence and in vective. Wc have the proud satisfaction to know that our candidate would come out of such an ordeal unscathed, and that his charac ter, personal and political, will proudly compare with his opponent. Thc A merican takes thc advantage of a remark of thc Pennaylcanian to draw a picture of Col. Bigler on thc stump. If at some future day we should use this effort of thc editor's imagina tion, as applicable to Gov. Johnston, hope we may not be deemed liable to the charge of pla giarism. Col. Biglcr may appear before his fellow citizens during the contest, or he may not. He will, however, thc American mav rest assured, be prepared for any emergency, and be ready to perform any labor which the cause of justice, and truth, and Democracy may re quire at his hands. In "another flight and figure of thc "organ," wc think we can sec very clearly the fate of a certain man who once built a gallows for his rival, and unfortunately got on it himself. It is always dangerous to stick down stakes with out knowing who is to run against them. But wc have no disposition to talk to the American in parables. At the proper time wc will endea vor to be very explicit. Clearfield Republican. Will? Contempt ror Laboring 3Icn. Mr. William D. Lewis, the Whig Collector of tho port of Philadelphia, says thc Reading Gazette, in a letter to thc President, upon the subject of thc charges preferred against him, remarked that laboring men ''are well enough in their sphere, but by no means among the most re spectable and influential of our citizens." This is pretty language, indeed, for a man holding office under a government which has marked out no "sphere" for the workingman different from that of any other citizen, but consider all upon a perfect equality. But it expresses the real sentiments of nine-tenths of the Whig par ty, however carefully they may seek to conceal them. Mr. Lewis doubtless thought there was no danger in showing his true colors in Whig company; nay, he probably considered that a little cxhibitionof aristocratic pretentions would all thc more readily secure him the sympathy of "the powers that be." Wc may be certain that he never intended this opinion of the la beling men to see the light; but the follies of politicians, like murder, "will out," and so Mr. Lewis will have to pay thc penalty of speaking his mind too freely. Wc hope that thc large and influential body of citizens upon whom this contemptuous aspersion was cast, will bear it in mind and not suffer themselves to be decei ved any longer by Whig professions of regard for the mechanic and laborer, which arc gencr ally made in great profusion about election times and forgotten immediately after. 00 ' Later advices from Mississippi con firm the report that thc Hon. II. S. Footc has been nominated as thc Union candidate for Governor. General Quitman will no doubt be taken up by thc other side. Thc contest 13 likely to be one of thc most animate'd that has ever occurred in that state. Its result will be looked for with intense interest, in consequence of thc impov t-iTit principles and coniiqurnccs involved. County Committee. ' In obedience to thc call of the Chairman, a meeting of the County Committee was held at the Court House in the Borough of Ebensburg, on Tuesday, 27th inst. In the absence of the chairman, M. S. Ilarr was appointed Chairman pro tern, and Stephen Lloyd Jr., Secretary. On motion of J. C. O'Neill, the following res olutions were unanimously adopted. Resolved, That thc Chairman of the Commit tee be authorised and requested to issue the usual call for thc election of delegates by the democrats of thc several boroughs and townships in thc county, on Saturday thc 28th day of June next, to meet in county convention at Ebens burg, on Tuesday the 1st day of July, next, for the purpose of forming a county ticket. Resolved, That we would recommend thc next County Convention, to take into consideration the propriety of adopting Rules and Regulations for the government of the party, hereafter, in making nominations, appointing conferees, del egates to State conventions, &c, so as to pro mote more effectually the union and harmony of thc party, and thereby avoid the disputes and eliflicultics which have heretofore existed upon these questions. ' Thc-following ADDRESS was then submitted, read, and on motion of J. M. Riffle, unanimous ly adopted, and ordered to be published with thc proceedings. On motion of J. Burk, thc Committee then adjourned. ADDRESS. TO THE DEMOCRATS OF CAMBRIA COUNTY. Fellow Citizexs: Thc County Committee upon having been called together for thc purpose of transacting some important business, and to adopt such preliminary measures as thc welfare of the party might demand, upon thc opening of thc ensuing campaign, deem it also but prop er before separating to address you briefly. It is well known that difficulties have existed in the party in this county for some time past, and thc mortifying spectacle has been presented of seeing the party united" in support of thc State ticket, giving it a majority of hundreds, whilst some of our best men placed upon the county ticket have occasionally been defeated, merely to gratify thc personal or local feelings of different factions which have existed. This course if continued must place the party in the county in a humiliating condition. In stead of its energies being directed to uphold thc principles, measures, and policy of the party, to unite in thc support of our candidates at home as well as abroad in the support of men who would faithfully endeavor to advance thc interests of thc party wc should see those energies wasted in the contentions of rival fac tions. Our contests instead of being based upon thc support of particular principles, must de generate into mere local or sectional quarrels, or the party be ' forced to take sides with indi viduals who may be actuated by personal or vindictive feelings, and by thus abandoning all p-rinciplc our elections would result in a mere scramble between men, to the entire destruction of all party organization. This state of things wc desire to arrest, and if possible endeavor again to restore union and harmony to the party. Thc results of thc past wc refer to with regret, but the lessons we have received ought to admonish us sufficiently to induce every democrat to calmly reflect upon thc present state of affairs in our county, and induce him to aid in preventing their recurrence. Our county is decidedly democratic, as is proven by thc larsc majority which is annually civen to thc State ticket. Occasionally some mem bers of thc county ticket have been defeated, owing to our dissentions, much to the gratifica tion of our opponents, who well know that it is only by keeping thc party distracted and divided that they can succeed. It must also be admitted that these tlisscntions have in some measure been fomented and kept up by them, well knowing that the result must redound to their advantage. The approaching election will be one of the most important that has ever occurred in our Commonwealth. Thc republican principle of an elective Judiciary has been adopted by the people, and for thc first time they will be called upon to select Judges of thc Supreme Court for thc whole State, as well as President Judges iu thc several judicial districts, and Associate Judges for the respective counties. Thc selec tion of candidates for these several stations will require no ordinary care, and when we reflect that thc interests, property, and even thc lives of thc citizens of every county of thc Common wealth may be entrusted in thc hands of the highest tribunal of thc State, thc selection of good and competent men to discharge thc duties of this high judicial station becomes one of no ordinary interest. The, selection of competent men "learned in the law" to preside in thc several judicial dis tricts, and of their Associates to attend to the local affairs of the different counties, will be more immediately felt by thc people, and ought to induce them to calmly reflect in selecting their agents by whom these nominations are to be made, as the interests of a whole community arc involved in the selection of good Judges, and it is well known that partial or incompetent men upon the bench arc a curse to all whose property or lives arc entrusted to their care. The election of a Governor and Canal Com missioncr will also have to be made this fall, and thc tlemocracy have only to be united in our own, as well as every other county of thc Com monwealth, to enable them to achieve a glorious victory, wrest the government of the good old Keystone State from the hands of the present whig and abolition rulers, and secure tho as cendency of democratic principles and measures Wc have no fears of the result, thc people have already in their primary meetings thro out tho length and breadth of thc State, with extraordinary unanimity nominated Col. Wm Bigler as their standard bearer, and the Read ing Convention which will shortly assemble will only go through thc form of ratifying his nom hulicn To sustain a democratic administration of th State government it is also necessary that the party in this legislative district should be uni ted so as to ensure success, and that we should not again by our dissentions,' notwithstanding our large majority in the district, permit tint democratic candidates for the Legislature to le sacrificed, or that Cambria bhouli "again le represented by a whig. This question assume! more importance when we also reflect that upon the next Legislature will devolve the duty 0f apportioning the State into Congressional dis tricts, and our own interests as well as those of thc democratic party throughout the whol State, call loudly upon us to secure the return of two democratic members of the Legislature from this district. In thc county wc shall have an important ticket to elect. A Prothonotary, &c, Countv Treasurer, County Commissioner, and Audita, will also have to be chosen, and these are an offices in which thc people arc intere3u.l n seeing selected faithful and competent person, and that the duties of each should be well &s. charged and the welfaro of the county promoted. The triumph of the democratic party next fall in our State and County tickets, will giv to it strength and confidence, and ensure the success of its candidate for the Presidency iu thc fall of 1S-32, for it is wen known that ... goes Pennsylvania, so goes thc Union." We also regard this as a most auspicious to ... to unite the democratic party in thc countv. S. many important offices are to be filled at the next election, that all interests, and every Por tion of thc county can be conciliated. It u time that the party should he aroused to the importance of preserving its organization, and of preventing in future all factious feelings en dangering its success. Let the acts and errors of the past be forgotten, let a spirit of "conci liation, concession, and compromise" be culti vated by thc democracy towards each other, let them reflect calmly upon the important issues involved in thc next contest, and the result will be thc formation of a ticket that will not only now, but hereafter lead them to union and victory ! Thc call for thc election of delegates to the next County Convention will soon be issued, in thc mean time we would urge upon thc pcop'e the importance of attending these primary meetings, and securing the election of pr" J nt and discreet members as delegates, andtfjfW ensure thc formation of a ticket, around which all would rally with alacrity, &o as to ensure success. If this is done all feeling will be al layed, and every democrat should consider it his duty to aid in reconciling all past difficulties, and to preserve thc time honored principles of thc party, made sacred by thc memories of Jefferson, Jackson, and Tolk, from being sacri ficed upon the altar of personal feeling, or tho spirit of faction. By order of thc County Committee, M. S. HARR, Chairman pro. tern. Step-hex Llovd, Jr., Secretary. Arrival or tlie Winfleltl Scott. New Vokk, May 22. The steamship Winfield Scott arrived here this morning in six days and six hours from New Orleans, bringing news two days in ad vance of the Mail. We take from the New Orleans papers the following items A block of Marble for the Washington Mon ument was received in New Orleans on the 14th inst, from the Cherokee Nation. The brig Pcdraza had arrived from Nassau, having on boord 120 passengers of the wrecked ship Cato. The ricayune has dates from Vera Crui U May 1st, from the Mexican Capital, to April 2Cftb, and from Tanipico to May 4th. Tbe Mexican IIoiu of Representatives had appro ved of the Senate's resolution to grant cHitr days respite to the committees of both branches to try to effect arrangements of coiupr in:.? with the public creditors. It was stated that a proposition was to be of fered to try and negotiate a loan from the United States Government. General La Vega, instead of proceeding iw mediately to Yucatan, to carry on the v against the Indians, has irone tn thi ritv of Mexico for fresh instructions. It was stated that many of thc streets of Mexico had been abandoned on account of the robberies recently committed. The Legislature has passed n bill agaui gambling. There are smic later advices Lm Tchuante- pcc. llie reports of the surveying parties aie favorable to the feasibility of thc road. A letter from Major Barnard says that thc survey is nearly completed, and all parties will be able to leave thc Isthmus by the 20th of May. He en tertains no doubt that the railroad can be con structed at a moderate cost, and says that thc land included in the grant is very valuable. It appears that passengers from California b) the Gold Hunter, landing at Tehuantepec, wen detained to await orders from the city of Mexi co, for disposing of them. A letter from the chairman of the permanent committee of th--Tehuantepec railroad company denies that ti bill to declare null the Garay grant which ti' company have acquired, is before the Mexico Congress. The Winfield Scott brings 15,000 in spcf Among her passengers is A.
