Combining within himself all the elements of popularity, confident of his strict integrity and great worth, Cambria county pie peats his name under the conclusive belief that, ,if nominated, he can and vr511 receive an unpre cedented majority from the people ef the county. . For the Legislature, Thomas Collixs, Esq., of Summitville, was re-nominated, having dis charged his duties with so much satisfaction to hia constituency uuri"nr the last session, its in .merit and receive this additional testimonial of esteem from Lis admiring fellow democrats. He .is of the manor born, and his wishes and feel .iegs are so inseparable from the interests of his native county, as to warrant a faithful adhe rence to ber welfare and concern in the discharge of every official duty. Competent and deserv ing of the station, of ucniistakeabie honesty and tfirm adherence to the principles of the party, he .wUl make an useful and vigilant member of As sembly. The experience cf one session in the Legislature, from which he was enabled to gain entire kuowledge of ell things pertaining to the ."tiffice, prompts us to state that he will make "a valuable and influential member, careful to use every honorable effort tending to further the happiness of his constituency and the progress eS the State. - He will be elected by a larger majority than he received last year. -.- For District Attorney, TneoPHinrs L.

For Treasurer, ,V Rhbt. of Ebsnsburg, was nominated. ..'.. -, . ; For County Commissioner, we have Jons H, Douglass, Esq., of Clearfield township, who is an excellent selection for this office. He is a sbrewdj safo, good business man, one who will bestow every attention to the county affairs, and demonstrate bis peculiar fitness to take charge of her increasing resources. " f For Auditor, Joseph Hogue, Esq., of Carrol, township, is our candidate. He is an estimable young man, peculiarly qualified to audit the county accounts, and will be careful that noth ing over which he exercises a supervision bu will receive a thorough and complete examina tion. For County Surveyor, Thomas M'Connell, Esq., of Summerhill township, a skilful and ex perienced surveyor, than whom a better man could not have been nominated. These then are the nominees of our County Convention, and we trust that that cordial and enthusiastic support will be given, to which their merits so justly entitle them. Numbers there were, who preferred others, equally as deserv ing of support as those nominated, but their pre ferences are, for the present, merged in the will of the majority, that will being expressed in an honorable manner. In the late campaign the hardy democracy of Cambria vied with each oth er in their devotion to party ; may we not hope that the spirit of '52 is again abroad, urging us on to as glorious a victory in October '53, as we gained over our opponents last fall.

The New Stamped Envelopes are out, says the Pittsburgh Despatch, but it appears that great dissatisfaction has been expressed with regard to them. Not with the envelopes themselves, but with the use which the contract or has made of them as an advertising medium. The bnc"k of pach of them bears the card of Mr. Nesbitt a clever and enterprising man, doubt less, but in this inst tree guilty of a piece of im pertinence which oug'it not to have been sanc tioned by the authorities. Why not, on the same principle, double the size of the " postage stamps, and announce a portion of the space ns available for advertising purposes. , There are hundreds of enterprising business men who would pay liberally for such a privilege and perhaps it wouldn't look like a "small potato" affair on the part of the government ! If Mr. NesniTis to have the privilege on the envelopes, let all have who will pay liberally for it. The New York Tribune says that many heavy commercial houses are so disgusted with the affair, that they have deciddU not to use tne envelops, and that the general feeling is, that the Postmaster General ought to cancel the entire stock, and procure a new supply without the objectionable appen dage. - .
