A Democratic Executive.
To-morrow, Franklin Piebce will be inaugu
rated President of the United States. Tbe pro
gramme of the affair we publish in another col
:umn. The "fuss and parade" usual on so impor
tant a change, will not, we believe, equal that
heretofore made, but the ceremonies will be
. conducted in an unostentatious and appropriate
. manner. The usual "Inauguration Ball" will
not take place, the "Jackson association" hav
ing very properly, in deference to the feelings
of the President elect, determined to give up i
this enjoyment which generally closed the cer-1
eiuomes of the day. A large number of office
seekers, borers and visitors are iu Washington,
and the crowd continues to increase, consequent
ly there will be no lack of lookers-on.
Gen. Pierce goes to the Executive chair with
the fond hopes and sincere wishes of his party
friends for a successful, economical and praise
worthy administration. His political opponents
ecemto have laid aside the bitterness with which
they assailed him .luring the campaign, and say !
that "he will take hold of the National helm !
with a firm hand, bavins the chart of nreee-
. I
dence, experience and wise counsel before him."
Since his electi n he has by his discreet, pru
dent and wise course of conduct, dispelled the
fears of his most inveterate political enemies,
and given them "assurance doubly sure" that
be is eminently fitted, and admirably qualified,
to discharge the responsible duties of the office
in a manner highly creditable to himself and
honorable to the country.
He is regarded by men of all parties with a
confidence in his incorruptibility, a deep and
abiding fith in his honesty and firmness, that
bespeaks for him an energetic and wise admin
istration. He will prove himself equal to any
emergency, and shrink not from "assuming tbe
responsibility" when the occasion requires it.
He has reached the summit of all earthly great
ness through no agency of his own, by no base
or unworthy means, not having sought the office;
when nominated, he relied upon the good sense
and just discrimination of the American people,
in choosing between him and his opponent, con
fident of the righteousness of their verdict and
"willing to nltirie hy their decision- That deci
sion was largely in his favor, and exhibited the
attachment of the masses to democratic princi
ples. The hopes and welfare of a Nation are
confided to his care ; he has accepted the trust,
and his whole history indicates his peculiar
fitnefs to so discharge it as to increase the hap
piness and prosperity of the country, and still
stronger cement the bonds of Union between
the States.
A Useful Book.
We have examined a work, just published, cal
led "Hay ward's Gazetteer of the United States,"
comprising a general view of the United States,
nnd particular descriptions of the several states,
territories, counties, cities, towns, villages,
mountains, rivers, harbors, lakes, railroad,
canals &c. ; with the governments and literary
ana ottier panne institution ot the country ; to
which are added valuable statistical tables and
a map of the United States. The book contains
8G0 pages, is neatly printed, and well bound.
Tbe price is $3 50. It contains a vast amount
of most important" information for business men
and othrs, whkh cannot be obtained elsewhere,
and as a book of reference is invaluable. The
igent for Cambria county, is Mr. David Irons,
of Jefferson, who will supply the work at tbe
above price.

We received a letter from Phila. to-day, which
tates that Judge CaMPBicLLhis been telegraphed

The canal ha"s not been opened yet.
The Legislature has adjourned until Monday,

The latest news is that there will bean Inau
guration Ball, the ladies having decided that it

On Monday, a thunder storm passed over the
northern portion of this county, Rather unu

thunder.
It i s in contcmpl ition to build a hotel in New
York, capable of accommodating over two thou
sand persons ; the price of board, per day, to be
one dollar, or six dollars a week. The house to
he furnished, not splendidly, but comfortably ;
provided with wholesome, not sumptuous fare
Such a hotel is much needed.
"In your patience ye are strong." So we tho't
upon seeing a man drive a horse and sleigh
through town on Tuesday, the mud being about
four inches deep. He had, no doubt, been on a
journey and was caught away from home in a
bad fix.
On Tuesday the Post Office was removed to
the store of Fred. Kittell, Esq., opposite the
Sentinel Office. While Col. Roberts was Post
master he discharged the duties of his office
well and to the satisfaction of all. For a year
past, on account of the sickness of Col. Roberts,
the business was under control of his assistant,
Mr. R. Tudor, to whom the thanks of the press
and of the citizens are justly due, for his uni
form courtesey and attention. He proved him
self an obliging officer.
C. E. Logan, Esq., familiarly known as "old
Logan." the comedian, died of apoplexy on the
Ohio river, near Wheeling, last week. Sorry to
hear it. Many a time have we enjoyed our
selves, witnessing his admirable personations
of comical characters upon the stage.
The U. S. Mail, 6ince Tuesday, reaches this
from Jefferson, via Plank Road. ' The mail clo
ses at the Ebensburg office at 2 o'clock' in the af
ternoon. Liveried servants says the Home Journal,
are more common in New York than they were
a year ago. This ought not to be in a republi
can country. The wearing of liveries originated
in those times when captives taken in war be
came bondmen. Each chief affixed to his pris
oners some mark or badge, to distinguish them
from those taken by others just as in the South
American plains, every owner brands the horse
or buffalo he has caught, then turns him loose
to mingle for a while with the herd. Livery,
therefore, is a relic of barbarism, the proper
mark of a serf, and should never be seen a
mongst us.
tSfWm. Kittell, Esq., has removed his Law
office to the building on High street, lately oc
cupied as an office by Gen. Jos. McDonald.
t,Atthe election, on Saturday, for officers
of the Ebensburg andSusquehannah Plank Road

there being no opposition : President Geo. J.
Rogers ; Treasurer
Edward Shoemaker, Esq.:

William Kittell, Ezekiel Hughes, Esqrs., and
Rev. P. II. Lempke. These are excellent selec

Quite a difference. The Holliday6burg
Whig says:
"General Pierce was waited on by Committees
from both houses of Congress and notified of his
election, when he informed the gentlemen that
he would accept the office I
Major Raymond was not waited upon by any
committee of the present Pennsylvania Senate,
and ..notified of his election as Transcribing
clerk ; therefore, was saved the trouble of ac
cepting the office !
A meeting will be held at the house of Col. P.
Shie's, in Loretto, on Saturday next at 2 o'clock
P. M., to adopt measures for the construction
of a turnpike or Plank Road from Loretto to the
Summit. Such a road is badly needed between
the two plates, and we hope the meeting on Sat
urday will provide the ways and means for the
accomplishment of their efforts. A better road

Allegheny Valley Railroad. '
The bids for the work on this road, 'the Pitts
burg American says,) have been characterised
by a 6ingle uniformity of rates. About one
hundred bids for work, for the first forty-two
miles, were precisely the same in price. The
bids (three in number,) by heavy companies for
the u-hnle line, amounting to over three ami
half millions, did not vary fifteen thousand dol
lars. The two lowest bidders were D. Letch &
Co., (Samuel Jones and James Fenlon,) and Jo
seph Chamberlain & Bro., of Ohio, to whom the
contract has been awarded, with an understan
ding that a New York Company, the third bidr
ders, be associated with them. The company
will organize in a few days, and sublet a portion
of the road. The entire stock of the road is now
taken, and the stock-book closed, the company
having no more to offer. The contract awarded
is for the building of the road entire with the
exception of finding the rails, chairs and spikes.
The route decided upon is on the Eastern side
of the Allegheny, thus avoiding two bridges over
that road.
We learn, that on tbe part of the road between

Washisstow, February 20. The Union is
severe upon the Whig Clerks, in the various de
partments, who have sold out their offices " to
Democrats, and says the purchasers will not be
permitted to' retain their their bought places by
the incoming Administration. . The prices at
which Clerkships are held here may not be un
interesting to applicants : An active Whig, who.
was receiving a salary of $1200. sold out his
office for $200 ; another Clerk, receiving -$1400,
holds his berth at $oOO a year. Ihe market is

An occurrence took place at the Treasury de
partment to-day, between Colonel Creecy, a
clerk in the Solicitors' Office, and Mr. Thomr -eon,
a lawyer- of this city, which has caused
considerable talk. Mr. Thompson called at the
office of Creecy, in regard to a letter which the
latter had written to him in reply to some de
mand touching the settlement of a debt.
Thompson told Creecy that his letter was insul
ting, and demanded satisfaction, saying, "you
must kill me or I will kill you." Creecy said,
shoot me now, and at the same instant, he
struck Thompson with a rule. Thompson drew
a heavy pistol and inflicted several severe blows
upon Creecy's head, which caused him to cry
murder, which attracted the attention of sever
al in the vicinity, who separated them. Both
were arrested and bound over to keep the
peace.
Washington, Feb. 23. Major Daniel H. Mc

The visit of the President of the United

other distinguished gentlemen, to the caloric
ship Ericsson, at Alexandria, on Thursday, was

It has already been stated that while Gen.

The following dispatch was received at 50

Collusion against the New Administration.
The New Hampshire Patriot, the organ of
Gen. Pierce, in N. II. speaks of a trick set on
foot by certain cunning Whigs of that State, and
aided by a few half hearted Democrats, to em
barrass the administration of Gen. Pierce and
the Democratic party. The Patriot thus treats
the subject :
"Collusion. We learn that the Federal and
Abolition managers in this State, with the aid
of their representatives at Washington, are prac
rising a game with respect to the Post offices in
this state, by which they expect to make troubltv
in our ranks and to retain a portion of the pol
itical benefits arising from the potfMon oi
those places The game is this: The Whig or
Abolition Post master is in luced t re-sign pri
vately, ami to recommend the appointment of a
nominal Democrat, such a one as they know
would not be the choice of the Democrats of the
place for the office. Tiiij recommendation,
backed by a few who are iit fh secret, is sent
to Tuck or Hale, and on their representation
the appointment is made. This is done in the
expectation that the fishy" Democrats thus ap
pointed will not be removed by the new admin
istration, and for the purpose of making diih
cu'ty among Democrats in regard to the office
in question. These men are well aware that
persons thus appointed by collusions with them
will incur the opposition of a great majority of
the Democrats, who are thus deprived of an op
portunity of having their views and wishes con
sulted in relation to tbe matter; and that quar
rels and divisions among our friends will cer
tainly result therefrom. Which will weaken tin
Democracy nnd afford aid and comfort to the en
emy. Now. we advise Democrats not to become
parties to any such coll nsions. True and sound
men will not do so; and we venture to say thnt
no such "base bargains" will be sanctioned by
the new administration. We do not believe that
any man who thus secures an office will be al
lowed to hold it. We do not Wlieve the friends
of the present administration will thus be allow,
ed to select offic ts for the incoming Democrat
ic administration, even though they may take
