TO TIIC DEMOCRACY OV CA31-
The democrats of Cumbria county are re
tpcctively requested to meet iu the various
townships, at an early perio'l, to effect an or
ganization for the approaching campaign.
Tbe county nominations of the democracy
have to be sustained, and the necessity of this
proceeding is -preliminary to every collateral
question.
We cannot forget that we are the organs of
the democracy of Cambria county, under ap
pj'nttncnt, and are bound to urge ou you the
neccessity of early and active arganization and
energetic vigilance for the whole state and
county ticket.
We shall address you atlength in next week's
paper. M. Hasson, Chairman co. com.
fiy A Camp Meeting will be held at Bclsano,
(nine miles west of this on the Indiana turnpike.)
commencing Fridav-, September 12th.
$2F The Show will be in town next Tuesday.
Come iu and see it, and bring your children
along to see the animals.
Honor fo Wliom Honor is duo.
In looking over a file of the "Mountain Senti
nel," of the year 1813, then under the control
of our esteemed predecessor, Lieut. Julin G.
Given, we find the following article iu reference
to the Sinking Fund project of Col. Wm. Bir.LEn,
written from Hamburg, under dale of February
11, 1816, by tho correspondent of this pnp-r. It
conclusively proves that all the efforts now Win-
made by the Whig party to induce the people to
believe that to Gov. Johnston, as the originator of a
Sinking Fund, the honor is due, arc alike ridicu
lous and absurd. Col. Biglee, at the time, was
Senator of the district composed of the Counties
of Clearfield, Cambria, Indiana and Armstrong,
while W m. F. Johnston was living in KittannLng,
practising law, and was not elected a member of
the Senate until the fall of 1817. The letter
hvs :
There i another hichly imtokiim measure
which has claimed a good j-hare of public atten
tion for some weeks back. I mean the BILL
introduced into the Senate by tbe Chairman of I
the Committo on Finance, Col. Wm. Bigler, our I
own Representative. This bill has not been ful-jof
iy unaersiooa, ana such is its great inijortance
that it ought to be carefully studied and proper
ty understood by every tax-puycr in tbe Com
monwealth.
This bill looks to the accomplishment of one
f the most desirable ends that can well engage
the attention of a rcr.nsylvanian, namely, the
OB A DUAL AND ULTIMATE F.XTIXOt 1SHMENT OF THE
STATE DEBT. Col. Bigler, in framing this bill,
has shoun a degree of forethought, sound smse, and
statesmanlike sagacity, that but few van can
boast of.
It in enough to overwhelm almost any ordinary
intellect to contemplate a project which can, in
the remotest degree, effect the payment of our
debt, without being a burden and a curse to the
people. In Col. Bigler'a bill, however, will be
found the means which, if adopted, will effect
the object in view, in a way that will neither
oppress the farmer, mechanic, merchant or Inbo-
rc-r, in the coruniuuiiv.
THE PRESIDENCY.
The Counties of Allegheny, Westmoreland,
Northampton, Lehigh, McKcan, and several
others, have passed resolutions in favor of
Hon. James Buchanan, as their choice for the
Presidency. It is now reduced to a certainty
that Mr. Buchanan is the choice of the Keystone
State for this important station, and we do
think that those persons who have advocated
the claims of other distinguished democrats
should submit to the will of the majority so
unequivocally expressed.
We have not been, nor are we now, the pecu
liar champion of Mr. Buchanan, or any other
man. v e nave on several occasions, as a rei
erence to our paper will demonstrate, deprecated
the course pursued towards Mr. Buchanan by
the Philadelphia Statesman and its compeers.
Under date of May 1st, 1851, we wrote that the
contemptible and dishonorable course pursued
by such papers was an injury to the cause they
purported to advocate, would drag down to
degradation all persons in any manner connected
with them, at the same time advising au honor
able course towards those members of the party
with whom they differed on slight questions.
Our advice, however, was unheeded ; and the
result shows that their efforts to advance the
prospects of a favored candidate by villifying
the fair name of a gentleman whose devotion to
the party cannot be questioned, have recoiled
upon their own heads. We can safely say that
their malignant and anti-democratic abuse,
conceived in a spirit of ingratitude and revenge,
injured materially- the prospects of their own
and our candidate, done more real good to
Mr. Buchanan than his most zealous friends
could have effected, aroused the kind and gen
erous feelings of the people in favor of a slan
dered man, enkindled a feeling of State pride
towards one "to the manor born," and has re
sulted in his favor.
We preferred Gen. Cass, knowing him to be
a radical and enthusiastic democrat and states
man, whose honesty of purpose, brilliant qual
ifications, and purity of character, no man dare
say aught against. We also thought Pennsyl
vania could now muke him reparation for the
loss of the State in 1848, caused, not by any
want of confidence in him or the principles of
the party, but owing entirely to the no-party
platform erected by the Philadelphia Conven
tion, and the military reputation of Gen. Tat-
j LoK. The doctrine that we, as one of the ad
j vocatcs of Gen. Cass, should suffer for the folly
(and imprudence of his unwise friends, we hold
to be incorrect he has not been the first niar
I tyr to the cause, nor is it to be presumed he
will be the last. Our feelings are unchanged.
our opinions are the same as formerly; but we
submit to the wishes of an overwhelming ma
jority, so far as this State is concerned, and as
it appears to be the voice of the many, let it be
unanimous to render it useful and effective.
County Nomination.
The Democracy of Philadelphia city and coun
ty, on Monday last, nominated the following
ticket: Senator Washington J. Jackson; Rejre-
sentatnes Solomon Deniers, Thomas McDon-
ough, Isaac Leech, Jr., William Goodwin, Smith
... . ., u.. Wra
II. Souder, Jacob S. Painter, Henry Huplet and
Aiidrew Hague; County Treasurer John Kline;
Recorder of Deeds Samuel C. Thompson; Pro
thonotary of District Court Levi Foulkrod. Such
a ticket deserves the support of the Dcmocracy
of Philadelphia city and county and should re
ceive it. Mr. Jackson was a member of the last
House of Representatives, and nobly deserves
the honor conferred upon him. Messrs. Souder,
.Skinner, Demers, Goodwin, Hague and Iluplct,
were also members of the last Legislature, and
their merits entitled them to renomination. The
balance of the ticket are good men and souud
democrats and justly popular. We enjoy the
acquaintance of Messrs. Leech, McDonough,
Kline and Thompson, and esteem them no less
for their many gentlemanly qualifications than
for their strict devotion to the doctrines of the
democratic party, and we look forward with
pleasure to their election by a large majority,
and for a similar good fortune to all those asso
ciated with them on the ticket.
The Democracy of Pittsburg and Allegheny
county have nominated a ticket that w ill compel
the abolition whigs of that section to be wide
awake, or they will receive what they richly de
serve, a sound political drubbing. The ticket is
as follows: 'resident Judge of the District Couft
"oseu iiepourn; distant Judge
ir,.. ti ii it i . .
uon. cnaries fciialcr; President Judoe of the
Common Pleas James S. Craft; Associates
Wm. Kerr and James Watson ; Assembly Alex

worth.
lresileiit Judge.
Huntingdon County has appointed Conferees
I to meet the Conferees from Cambria nnd r.li
counties to place in nomination a candidate for
President Judge of this district. We are in favor
the nomination of any good Democrat, fully
qualified for the station, honest and capable,
even though there is nothing to gain from it more
than to keep up the organization of tho party.
Blair county will appoint Conferees on the 9th of
September, and we suggest the 10th of Septem
ber as the time, and Hollidaysburg as the place,
for holding the Conference.
C Uli .l.
We publish this week the full accounts from
Cuba, by which it will be seen that fifty priso
ners, taken by the Spanish officials, have been
shot. Forty of them were Americans. Among
the number is Col. W. S. Crittenden, of Ky., who
some years ago was in this neighborhood a few
days and made many friends. Mass meetings
have been held in New York and Philadelphia,
at which resolutions, condemning the cruelty and
barbarity of the Spanish Government, and cal
ling upon the President to rrotrr ...
pni,
; were unanimously passer.

and so far as the Compromise can be regarded
as a test in the elections, the victory obtained
by the whig candidate for Governor is fully off

for the National Legislature.
Powell, (dem.) is elected Governor of old
whig Kentucky, by 800 majority.
Glorious results !
The Plank Road
Books will be opened at the EbensburgIIotel,
on Monday next, for subscriptions to the Ebens
burg and Susquehanna Plank Road. We hope
every person of this village and the surrounding
country will subscribe as much as they can for
this good work, and there is no doubt but it will
then be made. On Monday, 8th September, the
books will be opened at the Hotel of J. P. Urban,
Carrolltou, so as to afford persons in that section
a chance of subscribing.
A new Post Office has been established
at Messrs. Kane & Moore's Store, called BehTaao,
with Mr. James Kane as Postmaster.
Efforts are being made to have a Post Office
established in Jackson township at Charles Dil
lon's Hotel. It is much needed, and if proper
exertion is made success will follow. Call ft
Rager by all means.
The Ilollidaysburg Whig protests against
the assertion we made, last week, that Gov.
Johnston w as unpopular in Blair county, and
calls it a slander. We say the greater the truth
the greater the slander. Gov. Johnston nomina
ted Judge Gardner and now the Whigs repudiate
the selection by nominating another man in his
stead. Does this not conclusively prove that
they have no confidence in Johnston, and that
in throwing Gardner they have thrown Johnston.
We cannot for the life of us look at it in any
other light.
JgsiSf" On Wednesday last, a Scott meeting was
held in Pittsburg, at which Gov. Johnston and
John Strohm. honest, unfortunate, Mexican John,)
were present and made Fpeeche?. Perhaps
honest (1) John attempted to explain his conduct,
to the Scott meeting, while in Congress, when he
voted against giving the gallant General and the
Pennsylvania Volunteers, who were with him,
their " daily bread."
E AT EST.
The news by last night's mail is that Lopez
and all his followers have been captured by the
Spaniards. Hut one battle has been fonght, in
which the Spanish los was )otween four and
five hundred. The capture of Lopez is doubted
by the Phila. papers.
BFThe stages having disappeared, we car.
inform all persons at a distance that they will
experience no difficulty in reaching this place,
as hacks leave the Summit every evening, and
return every morning.
DEMOCRATIC 'mEETEVU.
A meeting of the democratic citizens of Cam
bria County was held in the Borough of Ebens
burg, on Monday evening, August 25th, for the
purpose of adopting measures preparatory to
the next election. The meeting was organized
by appointing Dr. Wm. A. Smith, President,
Capt. James Murray, James Myers, Charles
Litzinger, and George llarncame, Vice Presi
dents, Edward J. Mills, and Daniel C. Zahni,
Secretaries.
The object of the meeting having been stated
by the President, the following resolutions were
submitted by Mr. George C. K. Zahm, and upon
being read, unanimously adopted.
Whereas it is the right as well as the duty of
Freemen to assemble and express their opinions
upon important occasions, and regarding as we
do the approaching election in Pennsylvania as
one of the most im portant that has ever occurred
in our State, not only on account of the number
and importance of the State offices to be filled,
but the bearing its results may have upon the
future welfare of the Union, wc feel it incum
bent upon us to organize for the campaign.
Therefore,
Resolved, That wc heartily rcspoud to the
nominations made by the State Conventions re
cently assembled at Reading and Harrisburg,
and that whilst we shall yield them a cheerful
and united support, we look forward with pleas
ure to their triumphant election on the second
Tuesday of October next, and the redemption
of the Keystone State from tho misrule of Fed
eral and Abolition Whiggery.
Resolved, That in the selection of our fellow
citizen and neighbor, Col. William Biglcr, of
Clearfield, as the candidate for Governor, we
recognize a democrat of sterling integrity, with
whose history we are familiar, and to whose
support we can rally with cheerfulness. As the
the representative of this county for six years
in the State Senate we know him well, and
whose public career proves him to be warmly
attached to the interests of his native State, a
statesman of enlarged views, and to whose
hauds the helm of State may be safely confided.
Resolved, That the bold and manly stand taken
by Col. Bigler to sustain all the compromise
measures passed by the last Congress, to give
stability to the Union, secure "the rights of
the States, and the union of the States," meets
our warm approbation, and should receive the
support of every democrat. That his course on
these questions stands out in strong contrast
with that of Wm. F. Johnston, whose shuffling
and double-dealing so as to secure the votes of
abolitionists and Natives, fchow Lim to be a
demagogue unworthy to preside over the desti
nies of the Keystone State.
llesolved. That Gen. Seth Clover, of Clarion
County, is entitled to our warm support for tho
office of Canal Commissioner, believing him to
be honest and capi ble, and although sneered at
by our opponents as " only a common man " wo
retard it as a part of the sama totia .r unma
iio nave hcretolorc derided the qualifications !

xn the learning, ability, and integrity of the
, , ,lc,nommees lor the fcuPrme Court
and that thev merit and shall receive our iini-
that they merit and shall receive our uni
ted support. I
Resolved, That we will oppose the election of
John Strohm, the whig candidate for Canal
Commissioner, who, by his votes in Congress,
refused supplies to our suffering soldiers in
Mexico, welcoming them to "hospitable graves,"
and ought never to be sustained by the patri
otic citizens of Cambria.
Resolved, That we would urge upon the dem
ocrats of the different townships a thorough
organization, feeling satisfied if we do our duty
we will roll up a majority of COO for the whole
State ticket.
Resolved, That this meeting cheerfully concur
in the resolution adopted by a late County Con
vention, expressing their approbation of the
patriotic course pursued by Gen. Lewis Cass in
restoring harmony to our country by the passage
in the last Congress of the Compromise bills,
and whilst we would again cheerfully support
him in the event of his nomination for the
Presidency, yet the first choice of Cambria
County is now as it has heretofore been for
Pennsylvania's favorite son, James Buchanan.
Resolved, That in James Buchanan we possess
a candidate every way worthy of that exalted
station, whose purity of private character,
eminent abilities, and patriotism, evinced in a
long public career in the service of his country,
has even forced from our political opponents an
acknowledgment of his trancendent abilities,
and whose elevation would not only reflect
credit upon the station, but upon our State, the
democracy of which have always been ready to
do battle in defence of republican men and
measures.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet
ing be signed by the officers, and published in
the Sentinel, Bedford Gazette, Penns3'lvanian,
Pittsburg Post, Carlisle Volunteer, and Harris
burs: Union.

THE LANDING OF LOPEZ THE TATTLE
THE EXECUTION.
The New York papers, of Friday, furnish
us with full details of the important news from
Cuba.
The Landing or Lor-EZ Officers or the
Expedition. Key West, Aug. 17. The steamer
Pampero, Capt. Lewis, with Gen. Narcisco Lo
pez, and four hundred and fifty followers, came
through the North West Fass, and anchored off
our light-house on Sunday last at 5 P. M. She
communicated with the shore and left again at
10 P. M. It is understood that the Hungarian
General Prag:iy, with several other distinguished
foreign officers, were on board, with Cols. Chase,
Crittenden, Downer, and many other American
gentlemen of standing and character. The
night was perfectly calm, and the moon shone
brightly when the left her anchorage for the
shores of Cuba, and all hands appeared to be
in glorious spirits and gave three hearty cheers.
On Thursday last, the Pampero returned, re
mained a few minutes in the harbor, and left
again for parts unknown ; it is supposed, for
another party of filibustcros. It is understood
that she took a pilot out of a Spauish vessel off
Havana, and landed her people at ten o'clock,
P. M., on Tuesday last, about twelve miles
eastward of Bahia Honda, where they were im
mediately joined by the people of the surround
ing country. The Pampero left at seven o'clock
on the next morning, and Lopez was to march
at ten o'clock against the nearest military post.
A company of volunteers for Cuba, armed and
equipped efficiently, left here privately within
the last few days.
This expedition seems to have been planned
with a good deal of skill ; and there appears to
be a determination, among those engaged in it,
to Eink or swim, survive or perish, iu the cause.
The following are the names of most of the
leading men who are supposed to have landed
at Cubanos from the Pampero :
Gen. Narcisco Lopez, the leader of the expedi
tion.
Col. J. Tragay, late of the Hungarian army,
formerly Adjutaut General to General Klapka,
and second in command at Comorn, when that
place capitulated. He goes second in command
to Gen. Lopez.
Col. Crittenden, late of the U. S. Army, and
nephew of the Attorney General of the L'nited
States. He has the immediate command of the
artillery.
Colonel Dollman, of Georgia, who served
through the Mexican war.
Colonel Chase.
Major J. A. Kelly, who served in the Florida
and Mexican war, and was once a leading whig
editor in Louisiana.
Captain W. Scott Hayncs.
Captain A. J. Dailey.
Captain Ellis, late of the Hungarian Army.
Captain Victor Kerr, late of the Hungarian
Army. V. 11 Ilerald.
Spanish Taoors Killed A Battle and Cap
ture of Invaders Their Execution. Ha
vana, August 16, 10 A. M. Intelligence reached
Havana, last week, that four hundred picked
men had been sent out into the mountains of
Coscoro by General Lemery, who was maile to
believe that a very small number of the insur
gents remained and could be easily captured.
Tho result was, that tbe troops were led into
ambush, when a large force of the patriots, un
der Don Augustin Aguero y Aguero, rushed upon
them, and killed some fifty on the spot. The
rest of the Spaniards retreated to Principe, as
well as they could, in the greatest disorder.
Scarcely had the government recovered from
this shock, when their attention was called to
the still more serious fact, that a largo number
of sympathisers, under Gen. Lopez, had effected
a landing at Flayitas, a few miles to the west
ward of Bahia Honda, which took place at 4 A.
M.t on the 13th inst. Lopez is decidedly a brave
man brave almost to rashness. It is positive
ly believed here, and I believe it to be true,
that the steamer signalled from tho Moro Castle,
on lue e'ening oi me x-m, was tne same which
.. . . .1 .
; conveyed General Lopez and his iricuds to theee
shores. Such a daring act of audacity, beard
ing as it were, the lion in his den, is most ex
traordinary. It appears that, close into the entrance of this
harbor, Lopez fell in with a schooner, from
which he took out the captain and mate,- to
serve him as pilots on the coast of Bahia Honda,
the navigation of which is very intricate. They
arrived off Bahia Honda, about 9 P. M., when
they immediately commenced making signals to
the shore by means of rockets, &c, which pro
bably had been previously agreed upon between
the liberators and those on shore. Gen. Lopet
did not effect a landing with his men until 4 A
M.; but the debarkation was done in so master
ly a style, that before sunrise he had not only
landed his men, with all their munitions of war,
but was on his march to Las Posas, a town a
few miles distant from the coast, where he im
mediately commenced intrenching himself.
In the meanwhile, here, in Havana, reigned
the greatest excitement. The Pizarro, laden
with troops, under the command of General
Enna, (who is next in command to the Captain
General,) and with him the Admiral, left about
8 A. M. for Bahia Honda, one thousand men
having previously been sent by the railway
cars.
It must be borne in mind, that such was the
state of confusion and alarm into which the go
vernment was thrown, that they had no distinct
idea as to whether Bahia Honda or Muriel were
the points to which the liberators had come.
However, the following morning, we are in
formed that General Enna had come up with
the pirates, as they are termed by the govern
ment, and had fought with them at Las Posas,
in which he regrets the loss of some of his men
and others wounded.
In this engagement the Spaniards were com
manded by General Enna in person, who had his
horse shot from under him ; Colonel Radal and
seven officers, and about seventy-eight men
were killed.
So unerring and deadly was the fire of the
liberators that General Enna was three times
repulsed with loss. At this moment the Lieu
tenant Governor of Mariel, Colonel Gurrea,
came up, with about two hundred men more,
when the Colonel received a shot through his
leg, and his men such a check, that General
Enna (as he states in his official communication
to the Captain General, dated half-past three
o'clock on the 11th,) saw the uselessuess of at
tempting anything further against the pirates
without more artillery, as it would be only ex
posing his men to certain death, without any
result; consequently he demanded further rein
forcements. Accordingly, two steamers, the
Habanero and the Almendares, left that day
with more troops, to the number of fourteen
hundred, so that according to their own account,
with those who have been concentrating from
the other districts, they have got upwards ot
8,000 men, including cavalry, and up till this
moment they have made only three captives,
who, as they say in the official bulletin, they
instantly put to death. Two of these persons
were sailors belonging to the steamer Pampero,
who, after landing Lopez, had gone into a tav
ern and got drunk ; the other poor fellow was
found in a hut, unable to move, from a fracture
he received when landing.
On the lith, it was known that the liberators,
who have been joined in large numbers by the
people of the country, made a move iu the di
rection ot Diego de Nunez, and Cabanas, with
the intention of possessing themselves of the
fort at the latter place, when, unfortunately,
some forty or fifty of them, who had, in the
most daring manner, endeavored to get there by
sea in four launches, with the intention of ta
king the Spaniards in the fort by surprise, were
themselves, after a most desperate resistance,
captured by the Spanish Admiral, who, with his
steamer and an immense number of men, suc
ceeded in taking them, after a fight of four
hours.
It is computed that there were no less than
329 soldiers and sailors engaged in the capture
of these fifty brave Americans.
Elated with his success, Admiral Bustillos
hastened with his prize to Havana, where he
arrived this morning at 1.30 A. M.
Of the fifty or fifty-two who w ere to have been
shot this morning at the Fort Atares, forty-six
were of the flower of the Mississippi yeomanry.
The Execution. One of the most horrible
executions ever witnessed in a civilized world
has taken place near Havana.
Below will be found a list of fifty men who
were shot on the public road in Havana, on
Saturday morning, Aug. 10th, at fifteen minutes
past eleven o'clock.
At the least calculation there were at least
twenty thousand spectators present to witness
the brutal, bloody scene.
The men were taken off a place called Bahia
Honda, forty miles west of Havana, by the
steamer Habcrno. They were in four boats,
unarmed, and report says they were steering
for New Orleans.
They were brought to Havana by the Haber-
no, on Saturday morning, at 1 o'clock, A. M.,
on the 16th of August, and placed on board a
Spanish frigate laying in port.
After they were shot, they were dragged by
the feet by negroes, and then left to the mob,
who commenced stripping them of their clo
thing, and carrying it on sticks through the
streets, yelling like so many demons.
Many of the passengers of the Cherokee who
were on the spot of the execution, were pointed
at with a sneer of contempt, and many of them
were stopped in the streets and insulted, the
Spaniards telling them " they were one of the
same party that they were Americans, and
ere long they would be in the same situation !"
At night it was dangerous for an American
to be in the streets alone.
The U. S. sloop of war, Albany, was in port
when the Cherokee left.
She passed the steamer Empire City going in.
The names of those shot were as follows:
Col. W. S. Crittenden, Capt. Victor Kerr,
Lieut. Jas. Brandt, Thos. C. James, Dr. K. A.

capture we have only the official report as jtt

o'clock they were shot at the foot of the Fort

The saddest portion of the Liitory which I
have to relate, is the indifference of the Ameri
