TgjXWe learn w ith sorrow that Thomas Collins Esq., our candidate for the Legislature has been quite ill, at his home on the Summit, with Typhoid Fever, since his return from the west. For some dayshe was considered dangevously ill, but we arc happy to inform oorreaders that he was much better yesterday and his physician entertained the opinion that he will recover. We hope the truth of this opinion may berealized. Egy Gens. Houston and Shields passed over the Portage Road on Friday last, en route for home. We understand that Sam Houston, (fa miliarly speaking) made a speech at the Moun tain House on Thursday night for Pierce and King. Good. Col. Hopkins our candidate for Canal Commissiouer passed over the Road on Thursday last on his way to the Reading Mass Meeting. We came from Tittsburg with him nnd can truly say that he is the man for the of fice. Hon. Geo. W. Woodward passed over the Road on Saturday, on his way to Pittsburgh to attend the sittings of the Supreme court. Legislative Ticket. The conferees from the counties of Cambria, Bedford and Fulton, met at Bedford, on Tues day, August 31st, and nominated Wm. P. Schell Esq., of Fulton, and Thomas Collins Esq., of Cambria for the Legislature. The proceedings will be found in another column. Mr. Schell was one of our representatives in the State Leg islature last year and his re-nomination eviden ces the confidence reposed in him by the Democ racy of the district. He is a young man of tal ent and ability and should receive the united support of the party. His votes while a mem ber were strictly Democratic and gained him much praise at home nnd abroad. We shall look forward to Lis triumphant election and an increased majority over the vote of last fall. Mr. Collins is known to almost every man in Cambria courty. He is admirably qualified in every respect for the duties of Legislature, and when elected will prove himself a true represen tative of the interests of the people of Cambria. He is a young man of a sound discrimination, having a well stored mind, and will prove a val uable member to his constitueney. The ticket is a good one and in every way worthy the sup port of the Cambria Democracy. Let us all unite, therefore, and aid in the election of Col Ens and Schell, two Democrats who will faith fully support the administration of Gov. Bigler and who will be prepared to rmder good ser vice to the peox le- of the district- mi.uMJtin.iii 1111 "i I' nt Itti 1 mi & K"V -i I 1 Ir ENTHUSIASM OF THE DEMOCRACY. In no instance,, since the nomination of Tierce and Kin or, have the Democracy failed to have a tremendous gathering of the people when suffi cient announcement was made. This is an evi dence of the popularity of our nominees with the masses of the people. At all Undemocratic assemblages the crowd has been immense and the enthusiasm unbounded, while the Whigs have signally failed in most instances. The Democratic Mass Meeting at Reading, on Saturday last, was tremendous affair, their be ing 25 to 30,000 Democrats assembled. Hon. James Buchanan was made President of the meeting, assisted by a number of Vice Pres idents and Secretaries. Speeches were made by Hon. James Buchanan ; Hon. S. A. Douglas ; Gov. Lowe, of Maryland ; Hon. Charles J. Faulkner, of Virginia ; Hon. B. F. Hallett, of Massachusetts ; Hon. Judge Legrand, of Balti more ; Hon. Jno. A. Wilcox, of Mississippi ; Hon. R. K. Meade of Virginia ; Hon. John II. Savage, of Tennessee, and others. Sixteen States were represented by distinguished speak ers, all of whom complimented the exertions of the noble Democracy of the Keystone State for their gallant conduct in days gone by, and ho ping they would prove true to Pierce and King in November next. So they Kill. It was a glo rious meeting, one worthy of the State of Berks county, the temple of Pennsylvania democracy. At Tittsburg on Friday evening the Democra cy had the largest political meeting cvei held in that city. The crowd was estimated at from lO to 12,000 ! I Hon. "Wilson McCandless was Tresident of the meeting. The meeting was held in the yard in the rear of the Ameri can Hotel. Gen. Sam Houston, the Hero of San Jacinto, the man who with a handful of men licked Santa Anna, was the first speaker, and right gallantly did he acquit himself. He said he was ajjmocrat ; was born a Democrat ; had lived a Democrat ; and would uie a democrat. He then discussed the principles of the parties and proved that the Democratic party had ever been the party of progress, the exponent of equal rights, equal privileges and equal rewards. He said that Frank. Fierce is a plain, aliaWe, up right and gallant man, and his heart is in the riht place. He cited Daniel Webster and other eminent whigs to prove that Tierce is a man of correct principles and sound judgement. He made a lengthy speech and was repeatedly cheered. At the conclusion, cheer followed cheer. Gen. Shields then spoke. The same "allant Irishman from whose breast on the bat tle field of Ccrro Gordo, where he was so danger ouslv wounded, there flowed blood which the Whig party said was spilled in an nnjust, dam ned war. Now he is iu the United States Sen ate ; placed thereby a Democratic constituency He bore testimony to the character of his broth pr nntl citizen soldier. Frank. Pierce. ne knew him to be capable, honest, a gallant sold ier nnd consummate statesman, lie knew Gen to miUtary man but ng a civilian he is found wac.iu.g." Ila was a Demo crat since helandedupon these shores and hoped to continue in the ranks for life. Gen. Shields spoke at considerable length and at the conclu sion of his remarks three cheers were given for "Houston and Shields," and three more for "Tierce and King." Success to the gallant De mocracy of Allegheny county. The right spirit is abroad and the legions of Democracy are in the field. A great and glorious victory awaits us. Col. AVIlIilm Hopkins. This gentleman is tl e nominee cf the Demo cratic party for Canal Commissioner. No mere honest, capable, straight-forward and estimable man could have been selected. No better, more steadfast, unflinching Democrat could have been nominated. He is the man who was the Speak er of the House of Representatives at the time of the famous "Buckshot War, and how gal lantly and patriotically he acquitted himself up on that occasion, history bears testimony. Farmer Hopkins has made himself known and respected by persevering toil and honest indus try, and to a mind well stored with learning he brings a character for truth, sobriety and excel lence that cannot be questioned. He is from the ranks ot the people and when elected his exertions will be for their good, their welfare. We predict his election over little Jakey Hoff man. by a large majority and hope that every Democratic vote in Cambria county will be plac ed in the ballot-box on the second Tuesday of October next, for the man who presents a fair record, wh o is well qualified for the office who has earned., a reputation at the pdough who has distinguished himself in the councils of the State William Hopkins. Gen. Scott. The New York Exjn-ess, a decided and influ ential Whig paper, but opposed to the nomina tion of Gen. Scott, has brought to light the fol lowintr interesting reminiscence. The italics and capitals appear to belong to the Express . From the Albany Evening Journal, March 2a. lSJSn ' "In the character of General Scott there is much, very much to commend and admire. But the mischief is, there is WEAKNESS in all he does or soys about the Presidency. Immedi ately after the close of the campaign of 1840, he wrote a gratuitous letter, making himself a candidate, in which all sorts of unu-ise things were said to 'return and plague? his friends if he should be a candidate. And since that time, with a fa tuity that seizes on men that get bewildered in ga zing vpern the "White House" he has been suffering his pen to dim the glories achieved by his sword." Another Thunderbolt. Geo. R. McKee, the Whig elector of Garrard county, Kentucky, has come out in a strong and powerful speech agaiust Gen. Scott, lie has mounted the stump against the Whig speakers who came into the county ; and from all ac counts makes the fur fly freely. He is at pres ent the Representative in the Legislature from that strong Whig county, Tom Marshal "the changeable," is no touch-to him.. p Pole Raising at Plane 3io. 4. On Saturday last, pursuant to notice, the De mocracy of Washington township, and vicinity to the number of between three and four hundred, assembled at the foot of Plane No. 4, for the pur pose of raising a Pierce and King Pole The com mittee appointed at a previous meeting consisting of Messrs. Richard White, Chas. E. Stewart and Richard Trotter had procured a fine Hickory pole, 127 feet inlcngth, straight as an arrow and of most beautiful proportions. Too much praise cannot be awarded the committee for their exertions to procure a pole worthy of the indomitable Diinoc- racyof Washington, an emblem of their hearts'! desire. On motion, Capt. Jas. D. Hamilton was unanimously appointed chief Marshal of the "Raising," and all were to be subject to his orders. How well he acquitted himself let the admirable manner in which the pole "went up" bear witness. Every man on the ground endeavored to fie with each other in exertion to elevate the pole without allowing it to slip, "bobb" or "dodge." We ne ver witnessed a more finished andwcrkman'ike business. A white and bine streamer fioatglrcm the top, placed there, ere the pole was raised, by the hands of those "that master even the wisest of us all." Amid the cheers cf the Demccracy the Gag of our country was run up aloft, laving inscribed upon it TIERCE, KING, AND HOPKINS, and as its folds of red, white and blue wire un furled to the breeze, the Jefferson Band crdivened the scene by playing "Star Spangled Banner," "Hail Columbia" and other airs. The flag is the handiwork of Miss Mary Ilegan, Miss Rebecca Robinson and Mrs. R. Stewart, is a beautliul one and creditable to their ready hands and patriotic hearts. God bless the ladies they are nearly all Pierce men. The paintings was executed by Martin of Johnstown in good style. A meeting was then held and the following oSeers afpoint ed : President Da. Wm. A. Smith. Vice-Presidents Capt. 7enry Schnetberg. Robert Stewart, Wm. Lattimore, Augustiu Dur bin Col. Wm. Nead, D. . Boyle, James Bell, Mi chael Smith, John Thornberg, Charles O'Neill, Francis Errdlcy. Secretaries 77. Devine, Abncr Kelly, Vincent Phelps, J. D. JTamilton. A. J. Rhey, Esq., of Ebensburg, was called upon to address the meeting, and proceed to sta! e his reasons why he preferred the New 7amp- shire Volunteer, Frank. Pierce, for the Presiden" cy, over Major Gen. Winfkdd Scott, Cvmmaudcr-j in-chief of the army, lie rdso referred to l'ie vnnous cl.-ai--es nroip;iiC arr.iust i.i-:n. fierce bv ihe whig Guiphinv find viadic.; i.IiJ Uoza their unjust aspersions. - Dr. Win. A. Smith, of EbcnsLurgh, ihen ad dressed the meeting in favor of Democratic prin ciples and democratic candidates. J7e had ex amined the history of Gen. Scott, and discover ed in 1.1 til no requisite qualifications for the Presidency, except military services. IIq was opposed to the election of your mere military hero to the highest office in ihe world, and was prepared to give his assistance to the cilizeu soldier, the statesman, Frank. Tierce. 77enry Ciay had advised the Amcricanpeop'o tekct no merely military man as President, aud.s-ud "ihat he would rather sec war, pestilence and famine sweep over the land, than be afilicted with such a catastrophe." And on this matter the old man was right, and the American people would honor Clay y establishing the truth of his rc- niark, and defeating M infield Scott. 7e spoke at length concerning the candidates for the Vice Tresidency, in favor of 77opkii:s, and the whole county ticket, and hoped that every democrat would in October and November ncit go to the polls and go the whole ticket aud nothing but the ticket. 77o was warmly applauded during his remarks." The meeiing adjourned at sun-set with three times three cheers fo? Tio.co and King. For a township meeting it was the lar gest we ever attended, and a good account may be expected from old TJashington next October and November. Roll on the ball boys. True as lite Gospel. After years of toil in editorial idrnse of Dem ocrats for doubting the merited existence of such a thing as a whig party; and in the hope less task of proving that one did exist in some thing beyond an idle name, the fr fam-d Hor ace Oret ly, but two days ago, "acknowledged the corn, and now caves in like a convcJl a sin ner, and publishes to the world the truth: "That the Whig party lis in fact scarcely "a par ty at all, in the 'strictest sense, bu I simply a loose aggregation of those who feel constrained to resist certa in tendencies and purposes of Vce party which covers itself with the mantle of Democracy '"-y Comment i3 needless. Running tlie tiling into tire Ground. .' Dr. Milo, of Vevny, Indiana, eloped the other day with the wife of Mr. Jacob C. Smith. The proceedings were characterised by the greatest coolness on the part of both the nissing ones. The Doctor borrowing the buggy of Mr. Smith to go, as he said to the Rising Sun. Mr. S. kindly gave hini the vehicle, and walked himseW: iuto Vevay for the purpose of presiding at a court. Oh his return he found an affectionate letter from his wife, stating that "he had al ways treated her better than she deserved ; 6he begged him to take care of little R.uth, and be as happy as he could." She took one of her children with her. To steal a man's wife, i3 bad enough but to borrow the husband's buggy to carry her off in, is certainly "adding insult to injury." Mr. Smith has since had no ti dings of his friend, the Doctor, his wifo or his buggy. A Fnlsehootl Exposed. Whig politicians, not satisfied with their at tempts to traduce the character of Franklin I Tierce by applying all manner of epithets to ; him, are also guilty of stating that which is i FALSE. At the whig meeting in the Ebens ' burg Court House, on Monday evening, a per son 6tated "that Franklin Pierce had never j made a speech in favor of the repeal of the odi ' ous "Religious Test," while he was a member of the convention of the State of" New Hamps hire to amend the constitution." To disprove so reckless an assertion, we publish below the speech delivered by General Tierce in the con vention after the remarks of Hon. Levi Wood bury, (also a Democrat,) and we challenge any whig or any whig organ to disprove a word of it. How despairing must be the whig party when it has to resort to FALSEHOOD to prom ote its ends. A desperate cause needs mad assertions. GES. PIERCE'S SPEECH. "Mr. Tierce, of Concord, said that he could concur heartily in ALL that the gentleman from Tortsmotith had uttered, except his last reniaik, It was quite obvious that, so far from having taxed the patience of the committee, his speech es upon both the great subjects embraced in the resolutions under consideration had been listened to with unqualified gratification. Not because he threw the weight of his high charac ter and the power of his arguments into the scale on the side of right in a case where there i was no hesitancy where the judgment of mem-j bers wa3 not definitely formed where there was a thade of doubt as to the result; but be cause it was desirable that the grounds en which we proceed in matters of such grave import should be stated, as they had been, with singu lar force cf reasoning and beauty of illustration It was also a service well rendered, not less in vindication of the past than the present. The motives of the fathers of the present constitu-) tion and of the people in 1792 had been placed in their true light. So much was due to them. It was also due to this convention, and the peo ple whom they represent, and due to the repu tation of the State abroad, that it be well under stood tha t "jolh cf the provisions the religious (test and ill : property qualifications had been a dead lett r, at least as long as the chairman (Mr. Sawyer) had participated to any extent in J the councils of the .State. Tljey had been prac tically inoperative from Mr. T 's earliest recol lection. The chairman would remember that many years ago, at a time of high party excite ment, it was suggested that a member of the House of Representatives occupied his seat vitLout the requisite property qualifications. But two objections at once occurred to any ac tion upon the subject ; the first was that inves tigation and action, instead of rejecting one member, might probably vacate twenty scats; the second was, that no member could probably .e found to move in a matter so UTTERLY RE JpCGNANT TO PUBLIC SENTIMENT. Tlie religious test in the constitution had i tlnjci);ui,iv teetl a STIGMA upon the State, at home and abroad. It had been repeatedly nam e l to him, c O'ico at 'rr.st in a foreicm land' l as unworthy thcHnteiligcnt nnd liberal spirit of our countrymen. Although he had at times felt keenly the reproach, he had uniformlyrefcrrcd, as lie had no doubt other gentlemen had done, to other parts of the constitution as illustrating the true and free f-pirit of our fathers, and to these as, at levst for many years, a blank. The great question of religious toleration was prac tically settled, and settled in a manner never to be reversed while we retain our present fcrra of government, mere than thirty years ago. The provisions now niri-r tha ctter.cn of the ( committee could hard'y be eaid to involve an o- pen question. They had been the subject of j discussion in every lyceum, every academy, de- j baling club, every town; and there was perhaps no subject on which public opinion and public ; feeling was so uniform and decisive. The sub stance, if substance they ever had, having long, sinco passed away, he rejoiced that THE TRO-i PER OCCASION HAD AT LENGTH ARRI VED to dispense with the form." Gen. Scott's Portrait ly n "Vliljf The following "live sketch" of General Scott as a politician, is from a whig paper. If you believe what they ray about him, in his own party, democrats will not need to speak upon the subject. Read it: "He has been almost forty years prominently before the country, and in that time has done and said many silly things, which, in themselves are harmless, slumber in silence, nnd are cover ed beneath the rubbish of time. But let him only come before the public for political favors where he has no sort of business all his fool ish deeds and Fpeeches will be roused from their slumber disrobed of their winding sheet, and will be used to a terrible effect, especial ly at the South? None but the most discreet men that ever lived standing in the focus of the public gaze for forty years, and having to move in the midst of all manner of factions nnd in terests, could avoid saying some foolish things, now much more then, would the life of Gen. Scott's weakness, vanity nnd pride, be spotted all over with nets that ought to be obliterated forever, and that ought never to have occurred, nis improper use of public moneys in his caily days in the army his quarrel with General Jackson, in which he came off second lst his bad treatment of Gov. Clinton his unsuccess ful quarrel nnd controversy with Gen. Gaines his contest with Gov. Marcy, in which begot the worst of the fight his more recent contest with Gen. Tillow, in which to say the least of it he made nothing and, finally, his base treat ment of Mr. Clay in 1S40 all these, and more, would come up in judgment against him, if once brought before the country as a candidate for the Tresidency. His notorious vanity, which is more than equal to Lis military ability, has been the faithful mother of his indiscreet acts, has given birth to a progeny of hateful and silly speeches and deeds, as numerous as the school of little fishes that inhabit the waters of Egypt.' Tlie'AVliis Demonstration, From the flaming hand-bills pested around town on Monday, calling for a "Grand Rally," "Kindle your watcLfircsi "Distinguished Spea kers to be present," "Dr. Jvhn McCullough our candidate for Congress will be here," nnd other movements, we did think that the whig-s would have a good turn-out. But about five or six o'clock in the afternoon the whigs "gin to feel kind of onkomfortable" as Zeke Spooncr tays, because the people were all leaving town and they began to think that "them boys as have bn' a makin' transparencies and picters of Teerce faintin, rnd General Skot en a big boss, would be sort a' beat "konsidcrably." And so it happened. Evening came and with it long faces, no grand rally, no Dr. McCullough, no dislinguished Fpeakcrs, no watchfircs kindled. Nine boys, Leaded by several othe r boys march ed through town after dark carrying the enor mous number of nine transparencies, and were followed up street and down street and over to the Court House by about a dozen men of the whig rank and file the distinguished individuals not being 'on hands.' " Michael Dan Magellan was made President of the mcctirg. He diges. ted "the venom of his spleen" against General Tierce in a foul, obscene, filthy, coarse, loath some speech, worthy of himself, or his compeer in scurrility, Joe Barker. T. J. Coffey Esq., of Indiana was then called upon and the most of his speech was such a one as any Democrat could listen to nnd not be of. fended. He did not seem to be well posted up when he stated that Gen. Scott had gained the battle of Queenstown Heights, as the true history of that affair is that Gen. Scctt surren dered hi? command to the British Con. Shcaffe. No Democrat blames Scott for having done so but history must not be contradicted. Mr. C said "ihat Gen. Tierce might be a respectable man in private life and he believed he was but that he (Tierce) was not known to the people when Le was nominated that he was known only around the purlieus and among the corrtij' tions cf Washington city." That is, a man is a respectable man and at the same time a viliian Wcll these t-.re nice words to be used by the vhig party, a party claiming "all the decency" end "all the iLtdligence." Mr. Coffey thought Gen. Ticiee nominated as "the tool of the South'" a sharp edged too vdll Le prove to be to the whig party next November. 7e retired amidst thunders of applause from the boys. Edward TTutcLinsoii Esq., Slates Attorney for this couuty, next spoke. 77e said he had r.l. ways been a w hig, had always stood in the front ranks (tall men you know always in the front platoon) that he Lad generally (not always) supported the rcmination, and that Scott had been his choice since 1SI1. 77e was for making Gen. Scott Tresident and of pure gratitude for his services in war, (forgot to say however that the whigs opp osed the war) and Le was in favor of such a great man, (six foot four.) 77e did not state any objections to Pierce more than that Pierce had once spelt tbc word "but" for his father, r.nd bought a stick of candy for a boy which cost him a cent, (the same cent we sup pose which Gen. Scott rcfusf d to subscribe te (lie Jack p en 'jncuMncr-t.) The speaker said ;l-at after Gen. Taylor Lad captmo' Montorey he foil Lack on Bucua Vista pud awaited the legions of Santa Anna, and there w hipped him Our recollection of the topography of that coun try, places Bucna Vista in advance of Montery. We almost fainted at ihe "von grand mistake. Mr. 77. wound up by exhorting all lukewarm Democrats to come into the Scott ranks some one at our elbow said "brethren let us pray." lie was followed by Geo. M. Reed, Esq., of this village, wh't arprehended that he was not going into detail. He f.prehcr.dcd that he need not cuter into detail of Gen. Scott's military and civil services, but would nicrc'y take a bop-ste-p-nnd-juuip view of thc!C. W ell he did. He hop ped at the military services, and in n flight of fancy stepped over the "roaring cataract of Ni agara," aud jumped sr over "the snow-capped hills of Mexico, that are to last as long as Gen. Scott's n.:me shall be cherished by the A rncrican people," that we fear lie has been irre trievably lost. Being in favor of a 77ero, States man, Sage and Senator, ho was therefore for Scott, but neglected stating when Gen. Scott was Senator. We should like to be informed. All the speakers atten.ptcel to pa eve Ccn. Scott a statesman, but on this subject they all "wired in and wired out, And le-ft tl; people ftiil in doubt, AY he ih er the snake that made the track AVas going south or coming back." Charles Albright, Esq., of Ebensburg, was the next orator. 77e did not intend to say much sir, about Gen. S-ott, sir, as the gentleiueu, sir, who preceded him, sir, has said sufficient, sir, (so we thought.) but ho would speak about the county ticket, sir. The speaker's actions at this juncture reminded ns of Booth's performance- of the dying scene iu the tragedy of Rich are 111. The spe.-.kcr hadn't much to say a raiust Farmer 7o'jkins, he thought perhaps he I was a good man, of course he is, but 7op kius is a democrat, and, if elected would have to do as he was told. Over the left. The whig candidate, 77olfi!iau. he knew, .Jakey of Berks, as the djir.ocjts tl him, to be a good man, a lawyer, and to iae practical knowledge of the improvements. Improving a bill of indictment- perhaps. The speaker was aware that Berks was the stronghold of Locofocoism and ignorance. A native of Berks county, himself, we suppose he judged from experience. The speaker hoped the whigs would support the slate and county ticket as he was in for them strong e then took a chair amid thunders of applause. The meeting, after hearing two songs, adjour ned, and the procession of nine boys w ith trans parencies, two in front, and the aforesaid twelve whicrs, marched to the main street, dispersed, nmTaftcrwords relired to bed, to dream of can nons, muskets, blood and thunder, bayonets, and all "the pride, pomp and circumstance," of that GOD-ABIIUKRED Mexican AVar!! T. S. Toor Scott. AYhigs being scarce in the meeting a democrat was requested to act as one of The Secretaries, but declined. One transparency had on it three faces, intenaing to r...Wnt. ns we supposed. Gen. Scott's Native meticau face, his Abolition face and his South ern face Another had on it Scott's words, "I ni ,!;. in mv robes." Goodness gracious, when was Gen. Scott a Roman Senator that lie was ...i,.,.i 9 ft.iieti &d,e? Not a word was said in the mee-tin" about the whig candidate fur the Vice Presidency, Wm. A. Gn.ham. The pre sumption U that th'ie who spoke do not know .t, Mr fJrahami. Tho whigs all pretend to i-n,w nothinc about Frank. Pierce, but never mind gentlemen, you'll find out. Tle Xorlli Carolina Kellgtou Tej The whigs say a great deal about rrai-k Tierce and the religious test law of NcW H lnn shire, and now express great pympatliv witliti' Catholic population of this country, for the fir. time. These whig worthies ask Catholic b'eui ocrats to vote for Scott and Graham Lecau'. Frank. Tierce happens to live in New IhE shire. So Le docs. The evidence shows, Lov-t-ver, that Tierce has exerted himself to rcj.(.r the odious law ; shows that he has ever becatl'e fiiend of religious freedom and toleration. But let us look upon the other iJe (,f ,j , picture the dark side. How is it vitli tl' whig party and its candidate? Suiae po-. arc good at seeing notes in the eyes of et!ier but never find any in their own. The v.L;'-' find fault with Gen.

Graham, the whig candidate f.r the A'ice Tresidency, resides in the state of Carolina. In North Carolina there is coi.tuim-j in the constitution a religious test law, the very same as iu New Hampshire. AVe sLuulJ i;;,e u know if Mr. Graham ever exerted himself to have said infamous test repealed, er if he ever made a speech to that effect. Perhaps k. n.e Cambria whig can inform us. Will the Ihil'i daysburg Whig or Johnstow n Camlrim enlight en us upon this subject? Notwithstan-i-T!-Gen. Pierce labored to cij-ungt the test fr ;::i t;,t.

Large fleeting lit Jolintlowii. The Democracy of John.-tow n an J vicinity had a large meeting on Saturday night. Trcu fear to five hundred Democrats paraded the streets, many bearing torches nnd transparen cies. The procession marched to the "Tierce aud King Hall" where the crowd was nddrcsse! by Hon. Geo. R. McFarlane, of HouidaysLurjr. Judge McFarlane' s speech is highly spoken of by those who listened to its delivery. He ex amined the principles and origin of both par ties, at length and the effects which democrat ic or whig rule had upon the country, conclu sively proving that we have been made what ve are under Democratic principles and cannet be what we should be unless they nre perpetua ted. He made a lengthy speech whica wasrsf lurously applauded by Lis audience'. The mee ting was one of the largest m.d most spirited et cr held in Johnstown and argues well for our prospects in that section. The whigs held a meeting the same night but could not raise a crowd, although a gentleman from Gettysburg was announced ns the crator. It proved a grand fizzle. The wh:r earnsot raise an ex citement. Democratic Mrrlingln Somerset. A large meeting of the Democracy of Somer set county was held in the Court House in Som erset, on the evening of August 23. Our friend Daniel AYeyand Esq., presided assisted by a number of A'ice Presidents and Secretaries. From the VisiVor we copy the following ccn l.n sed report of the proceedings: "J. D. Roddy stated the object of the meet ing and introduced Col. T. L. Heytr of Jelrs town, formerly a whig, but now an enthusiastic supporter of Pierce and King. The address if Col. Ileyei was rapturously received by the au dience, he had served under Scott in Mexico, but proved conclusively that he is entirely dis qualified for the Presidency. Able addresses were delivered by Messrs. Ceffroth, Weyanl and Hugus, the utmost enthusiasm, and gX"l feeling prevailed throughout the mccng. The contrast between that meeting anJ the meetings of the Democracy offoimtr days, is well calculated to inspire them to renewed ex ertions in the good cause. A few more such demonstrations, and the huge majority of our opponents will begin to melt before the truth, as a snow drift before the sun." Milton Crgs and the Iriili. Tae editor of the Madisoidan tays: "V learn that Milton Gregg, in Lis-fpeeeh at t Court House, on Saturday evening, fcneeringly alluded to the fact of our being an Iri.-hnian ly birth, and threatened that we would be compli ed to fly back to our own "Green Isle of the 0 ccan." There is something omnious in th.s threat of Mr. Gregg. Taking into consideration the suggestions of Gen. Scott, in his celebrated Native American letter, Ts it not fair to presume that, if Gen. Scott is elected, an effort will be made TO DRIVE THE FORLICvERS OUT OF THIS COUNTRY BACK UPON THE GL1TTLL ING BAYOXETSOF MERCENARY SOLUl ERY !
