FIRST GUN OFTHE CAMPAIGN?
A Glorious Meeting in oia Wash
ington. The Democracy of Washington township as
sembled at the foot of Plane No. 4, ou Saturday
afternoon last. A large crewvd was in atten
dance and the oect of the meeting was to form
a "Bigler Club." Solonu-u McCullcugh, Esq.,
was appointed President of the meeting, assist
ed by John R. Black and Daniel Walters as
Vice Presidents, and John G. Given, Esq., as
Secretary. The editor of this paper being
called upon, addressed the meeting at some
length, but is willing that those who heard him
should pronounce upou its merits, being, himself.
too ruodcFt a man to ilu . XT co roil.aij
John W. Shugart, Esq., a member of the Legis
lature from Venango county, who made an ex
cellent speech. He said that all the former
divisions of the party had been healed, and that
not a Democratic vote would be lost. He put
down Clariou good for 1000 for Bigler and Clo
ver; Venango, GOO; arren, 500; Crawford,
COO; Butler, 150; Jefferson, 400 ; and Mercer
150. He had known Bigler from a printer's
boy up, and that in all his difficulties with for
tune, like Coriolanas of old, he had not forgotten
his mother, whom he reveres, and who is his
companion in his travels, east and west. He
was followed by Capt. John C. Wynne, former
ly of Pittsburg, who proved himself to be a
ready debater and a good speaker. He gave
the coons a complete raking and was peculiarly
happy in his remarks, when he alluded to the
evils attending the re-election of Johnston as
Governor, namely the loss of all the confidence
of the Southern States and in the end a dissolu
tion of our glorious Union. He was followed
by Cyrus L. Pershing. Esq., of Ebensburg, a
gentleman of known ability and superior quali
fications. His speech was Democratic to the
full, and in a masterly maimer he exposed the
hypocrisy of Gov. Johnston, he compared his
present position with hia position in 188 and
fully demonstrated his various chameleon-like
changes. He vindicated the whole State Judi
cial ticket from the assaults and inuendoes of
their Whig enemies, and in fact gave the Wh'gs
a sound drubbing and done it too in a cent and
chaste style.
Last, though not least, came Samuel C. Win
gnrd, Esq., a gentleman of talent, ready address,
and has at his comjiand a perfect fund of wit
and humor. He made a lengthy speech and
was listened to with attention and admiration.
He told the people all about Gov. Johnston's
Sinking Fund, the accidental manner in which
he became Governor, his fraternizing with the
abolitionists and his unworthiness to hold his
present office. He entered into the details and
acquitted himself handsomely.
By all the speakers Mexican John Strohm was
denounced in no unmeasured terms. By all tLe
speakers was Thomas P. Campbell, Esq., our
candidate for President Judge, highly eulogized,
and by them all were the nominations of Wm.
Schell and Col. Kean, our candidates for As
sembly, and all the candidates for county offi
ces nobly sustained. A number of resolutions
were passed, which have not yet been sent us.
endorsing the State and county nominations
and in favor of Hon. Jamls Eucuanan for the
Presidency, a sentiment prominent in the heart
cf tire almost entire Democracy of this county.
Robbers Jirrcsted.
Within the past three weeks a number of
Bingham's c.irs at Johnstown have been broken
open, aud valuable goods stolen therefrom. On
Sund ty evening last, officer Cohick, (to whom
we could pay no better compliment than to say
he is the Hague of our county,) assisted by
II. A. Boggs, Esq., the ageut of Mr. Bingham,
Mr. Giphart, Mr. Shoemaker and others, suc
ceeded in arresting two of the supposed rob
bers, in a coal bank, near Jchnstown, whilst
they were attempting to carry away a bed-tick
containing part of the goods. The arrest took
place a little while after dark, and one of the
robbers resisted tho officers, aad fired at Mr.
anoeniatCT, with a revolver, twice. Luckily,
however, he did not hit him, but supposing he
had done 60, he immediately informed offic tr
Cohick that there were others concerned, and
gave him their names and place of rendezvous.
Since then he has captured six more, and the
entire party are now in jail at this pUce, w here
they will remain until their trial takes place at
Court week, commencing 6th October. It is
likely that more arrests will be made and this
gang of thieves brought to justice. There are
now sixteen prisoners in our county jail, a lar
ger number at one time than we ever recollect
of.
Col. Tho. IV. DuOlcUI.
This gentleman has heretofore been an effi
cient and energetic advocate of the Whig cause.
He hails from Philadelphia county and is known
throughout the Commonwealth as a gentleman
of acknowledged ability. There are many in
Cambria who have cultivated his acquaintance
anu who can bear testimony to his worth. Tbe
vile slanders of the pensioned Press which has
assailed him, from Harrisburg, will meet with
no response where Col. Duffield is known.

On Friday lest, 12th inst., the Summit was
the scene of more than crJiuary excitement.
Ihe various military companies composing the
Cambria Lngade were assembled for the purpose
of insnortion nr,,l ti

T i r i '
1UUU uuarus, tapt. Stewart
and Quitman
Ouards, Capt. Alexander. The officers and sol
diers looked well and conducted themselves in
an admirable manner. Since their appearance
in Ebensburg, in June hist, they have vastly
improved in military tactics, and there seems to
be a determination on the part of all to make
themselves true and skillful soldiers. The pa
rade took place in Mr. M'Ginlcy's large field and
the battallion was received by Brigade Inspector
Linton, Lieut. Col. Heyer and Adjutant G. W.
Todd. Col. Heyer drilled them in the best man
ner and we think that he will yet make the bri
gade equal, if not superior, to any in the State.
The new flag for the Allegheny Infantry was
presented to the company by Cnpt. ScLnetberg,
early in the mcrnirg, at Mr. Dillon's Hotel. Al.
though not present, we hTe it from an eye wit
ness that he made a cpteeh alike creditable to
himself as a gentleman and a soldier and was
repeatedly cheered.

The Whig County Convention that assembled
at the Court House in Ebensburg, Sth July
last, passed the following resolution:
Resolved That our w. rthy President, MIL
LARD FILLMORE, for his f.arless and manly
advocacy of the doctrine t ; protection to Ameri
can industry, is er.t.-!.,! to the gratitude of
true nearica l er.nsj. ivnni.tn.
The resolution was ccr; un!y not intended for
a compliment iritis s.rtled beyond dispute
that President Fillmore is a moderate tariff
man, and, as the Whig prty 0f this region are
not posted up about hie, opinions on the euhject.,
we take the following extract from his annual
message and commend ifto their serious con
sideration, as it knocks their great hobby, the
lann oi ioij, into a three cocked hat. Mr.
Fillmore said :
" A high tariff cun never be permanent. It will

clude competition, and thereby inr-i, tho in

and, we venture to say, will receive an enthu
siastic and wariU support from the men of their

Terrible Outrage.
On Thursday last a terrible tragedy was en
acted at Christiana, Lancaster county, Pa. The
particulars are these : A Mr. Edward Gorsuch,
of Baltimore, was in search of a fugitive slave.
He procured the necessary documents, and ac
companied by his son, Mr Dickinson Gorsuch,
his nephew, Mr. Earl, two deputy Marshals
and two Constables, proceeded to a place called
Gap Hills, near Christiana, for the purpose of
making the arrest. The house where the fugi
tive was secreted was discovered, and the slave
Pinekney was told to surrender. Instead of
this, he fired upon Mr. Gorsuch, the owner,
who immediately fell dead. The son then fired
upon the slave, who was running away, and
wounded him near the hip. At this moment a
i , ,
noru was oiowu, a number ot colored persons
sprang out from ambush, and the party in search
of the fugitive were completely overwhelmed.
The younger Gorsuch was shot down and beaten
with clubs, and is not expected to live. Several
others were wounded severely. The Sheriff of
Lancaster county is reported wounded. The U.
S. District Attorney, John W. Ashmead, and
the U. S. Commissioner, E. D. Ingruham, were
on the ground on Saturday, endeavoring to ar

would not have been tainted by this deed of
blood. We are not the friend of Slavery nor
are we one of its defenders. We regret its ex
istence in this Union but we are also in favor of
granting to the South their just rights those
rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution
of the United States, an instrument sacred and
dear to every American heart. The fourth ar
ticle of the Constitution says that "No person
held to service or labor in one State, under the
laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in
consequence of any law or regulation therein,
be discharged from such service or labor, but
shall be delivered up on claim of the party to
whom such service or labor may be due." Such
men as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin,
Thomas MifHin, Alexander Haimltou and Jnme?

and necessary law, and it must be respected and
fully carried out to preserve the Union of these
