' ' Much to our- recret, we have this week been obligedio p'dstpona the publication of our paper; some tjav.ftaji, on.accwnt of .the absolute, injpo:' sibility of procuring paper any sooner. . That ral uabU al tic& has. attained a degree . of rarity un known hitherto to the- oldest inhabitant. If the scarcity should continue, we 'must request our subscribers individually to furnish themselves "with a substantial piece of muslin or linen, 44x36, on which we will weekly "print the latest intelligence, and which by being carefully washed, can be made to last for some 6 or 8 months, lite experiment, we are. credibly informed, was once successfully tried on in the Hoosies State. An enterprising rcntleman having commenced the publication cf a record of events .without types, paper or ink"; being of a whittling turn of mind, he filled his cases from a beech groTe; as each subscriber, un der "previous arrangement, furnished 'his own sheet, he laughed at the idea of paper mills ; and being favorably located on the edge of a swamp, its abundant soft black mud enabled him to snap his fingers at the ink makers. It was, of course. carrying on business on first principles, , but we should not be surprised if we were obliged to re turn to them. . - - . ,'. Appointment by the Postmaster General.

Schnetberg gives un mixed satisfaction io the community in which it is made. The wishes of the people have been carried out. - The Post Master General has shown that he is actuated by a sense of justice, and that he will yield a cheerful compliance to the people's will. , . - TKs jmight be the place to say a word in rela tion to other Tost offices in this county, in which the necessity of Reform has long been evident. From certain localities we every week hear com plaints in regard to the manner in which particu lar Post offices are conducted. Let the people lay tm plain, straight-forward statement of their griev ances before the Department, and they will obtain redress. We feel confident that the Department will not tolerate, for a single hour, the insolence and negligence of certain jacks in office, who seem to think that the offices belong to them and not to the People. . We will add that our columns are always open to any citizens, who wish to make a statement. " . ' ..... - - ?. Uon. 7m. T. Daugherty. ' ' The conduct of our popular Representative at Ilarrisburg is viewed with favor by his constitu ents. In particular, his course during the late Senatorial contest, meets with marked approba tion, Mr. Daugherty "was one of the" Spartan Band who in the, midst of doubt, confusion, and treachery, adhered to the integrity of the'Demo cratic organization. ' His vote is to be found on every ballot recorded for the Democratic nominee Charles R.'Buckalew. We. will not pr6nounce an opinion as to the soundness or expediency of the views of Democratic Representatives who took another course': they may have been right, or they may have been wrong j but one thing is cer tain, the men who sustained the nominee of the Democratic party,; have placed themselves right for time to come- they have rendered a service to that party which cannot be too highly apprecia ted j and we are glad for the sake of the Democ racy 'of bur district, that' their Representative is to be found among the number. : fknuonsicatio&s. Our columns are this week crowded with origi nal matter, communications from citizens among the most esteemed in our community. We regret to say. that an unpleasant controversy is going on here, in relation to'Xhe authorship of aa article which appeared in a late number of the Johnstown "Tribune," (we' beg pardon for mentioning the nam of the. vile sheet) andt which has been attri buted to-' several gentlemen in thia borough. These gentlemen have came out' before the public la tho "Allcghanian" of. this week, and deny most vigorously all knowledge of the article in question. In the communications which we publish they are replied. fo and the. anonymous JakeyVis "put through a course of sprouts," and handled without gloves.

But we ask for a momentV-bearinfii -It will be recollected,- that a small .number of Democrats, among whom was Mr. Crew well, did not partici pate in the proceedings of tbe Caucus which re sulted in the nomination of Mr. Buckalew, as the Democratic candidate for Senator. Mr. Cress well's mind was tin Jer 'the1 conviction that an election would be made and that the Democratic party would be safer with Gen. Cameron,' than with any Other member of the Know Nothing party ; he wished to be in a position to cast his vote for him from the first ; he therefore did not go into Caucus. The policy which dictated the nomination of Mr. Buck slew, -was, as the result has shown, in comparably, the wisest; yet it will be. admitted that the conduct of Mr. Cresswell stands in favor able contrast to that of the gentlemen, who, in the heat of the engagement, struck' their colors and went over to the enemy who, after voting on two ballots for Mr. Buckalew, lft him on the 3d, 4th, and 6th. and went over to " Simon'." . Mr. Cresswell is a Democrat by conviction ; be has ever .been faithful member of that .partrv and we teat, certain that at this time nothing is farther from "his intention, than to , yield one inch to the Powers of Darkness who threaten the peace and social well being of our people. ;,-. For ourselves, we' have known Mr. Cresswell long and -well ; we ar satisfied of the purity of his motives, and that the errors he may have com mitted are those of judgement and not of inten tion of the head and not of the heart.; We be- lieve that he honestly Intended to act for the best interests of the Democratic party.; We hare care fully observed his course ; and although tU.true that we are attached to him by the bonds of inti mate friendship, yet we have endeavored ..calmly to weigh his actions, unswayed by- personal par tiality, and we think that we do not ask-too much, when we claim for him the justice which should be meted out to rectitude of intention and consis tency of conduct; ; " ' " " f "'-. ' Rome, it is said, .was once saved by the cackling of geese,: and if we are not mistaken, tbe future historian of Concmaugh county, may be called on to record an event somewhat similar in her annals, with the advantage, not enjoyed by - his-predeces sor, of discovering that the numbers ' and the names of the defenders of this modern citadel, are more numerous and better preserved than their ancient prototypes, who saved the mistress of the world from the northern barbarians. To this con clusion hare we been led, by the great fluttering and noise, which, within a few days, has filled the air in and about Johnstown. A stranger, igno rant of the causes of this great commotion, might have been led to believe that: the flock had been alarmed by " Gorgons, Hydras and Chimaeras dire ;" but great would be his surprise when he learned, that all the cackling and tnmultuous alarm was caused, by a little county to be called Conemaugh, and a few resolutions passed in the insignificant village of "Xbensburg. Still more ould he be astonished to find, that the great cause of Conemaugh could only be defended and advanced by abusing its opponents, insulting old men, sneering at the nationality of others, and ridiculing a few, who,; having tried to render their country some service, did not think it would be cast upon them afterwards, as a reproach. He would exclaim What ! not one single argument advanced in support of this glorious cause ! not one good reason assigned why. their prayer should be granted ! no reply made to the charges of du plicity and treachery urged against the champions of Conemaugh ! The only reply abuse and nothing but abuse 1 Nay, more than this- that, not ha ing poisoned arrows enough in their own quivers, they would make the world believe they had found k Judas here mean enough to slander his own fellow-citizens.' -Truly, would he say, the citizens of Johnstown arertcr be pitied, when compelled to rely upon such means to sustain their cause. But.. charitably disposed, we cannot for one moment believe that a majority of them are so dead to all the sentiments of honor and self respect, as to approve of the contemptible course pursued by a few of their number. ' They cannot surely censure us, for expressing, openly and honestly, our opin ions on a measure we consider unjust and uo ne cessary. ' We have done no more than they claim the right to do. True our meetings may not have been as large and respectable as Johnstown can afford, but this is easily accounted for. Our peo ple are not as numerous, nor have we as many who are willing to neglect their own business for the purpose ot serving their country. But we can say, without- fear of contradiction that aT our proceedings were conducted publicly ; and our meetings, however small, composed of good old citizens of Cambria county, who tor years identified -with her true interests, are neither ashamed or afraid to let it be known, that .they are opposed to Conemaugh county. Neither their officers or resolutions were got up to order in private room or a lawyers office, as we well know was the case with th last resolutions of the Johns town genius, which were immediately posted off with rail road speed to Ilarrisburg, in tbe pocket of their author, to be presented as the sentiments of a large and respectable meeting! Nor do we manufacture preambles and resolutions for town ship meetings, and send them forth as the senti ments of those who never saw or heard of them. Our preambles and resolutions contain no charges which we knotty to be false. They speak out plainly and cannot be misunderstood by thoee alluded to, though they may seek to screen them selves under tbe noisy babble of their obsequious mends. Neither -would we publish to the world pledges made prior to the election by an honora ble meinber of the Legislature, even if true, for the. purpose of subserving any purpose "however desirable. No such mt-ans. have wc resorted to, nor wi4,wo. But abve all, would we scorn to forge a letter, - full of venom' and vituperation gainst any of our fellow-citizen, and endeavor to palm it off on the world ss the production of a citizen of Ebensburg. We cannot believe that anything so mean can exist outside of that chosen band which of late has been heaping its filthy abuse upon ir Mlcnv citizens.

If tlie'citiaeris of Johnstown look upon the tx-Speakei1 U friend ly to their cause, his zeal surely must b stimula ted by being called a drunken gcntleriian ' But the hostility of the ex-member of Parliament, is not likely to bo cowed down by being reminded, that he was. born on a foeign:soili without.being previously consulted -a matter .he cannot very much regret, when he finds such productions of American soil as the editor and his "Jakey.- ' - All this scurrility and blackguardism, however, could be looked upon as the filthy excrement of the putrid mind of low blackguards, and: treated with contempt bnt when the sanctity of men's. homes is violated when a scoundrel low enough can be found in the county of Cambria, willing, through a public press, to insult and. outrage the feelings of one of her citizens, by dragging before the world his misfortunes, and is able to find an editor, vile enough to give publicity 4$ he out pourings of his rotten heart, we think it becomes the duty of every man, through whose veins cour ses one drop cf warm, honest," manly blood; to ex press his indignation, and assist in dragging forth this vile pair, from the dark and filthy kennel in which they attempt to bury themselves. il Has it then come to this that a man's . poverty, in this country, is to be considerec. a crime, and he and his family, on that ' account, ' afford food for the mockery and scorn of every low wretch, who chooses to insult them with .it. God. knows the reality is bitter enough, without making it a re proach to the .sufferer, and the man whd coidd, f for any purpose, coolly sneer at anothcrspovcrty, would " peep and botanize upon his imothers grave," and sell his sisters bones for filthy lucre.' The boot of every honest man should1e used to remove these mangy curs from our midland send them howling .: over our borders ; unices the con scimiszers of haying written and published that letter be considered, as we think if mjght be, in itself sufficient punishment. Of the victim of their malice, who seems to hare offended a f$w of their number by spcakirg rather harshly of Ahem, per mit us to say, that a warmer heart than, his never beat under the ribs of man; that though' cons ider ed poor by his traducers, he never hasryet earned hi bread by slandering his fellow citizens, and then ! egging their money to keep soul and body together ; and though " few crumbs may fall from his table, he is still able to divide a crust with a friend, and even gfve a cup of water to an enemy. But enough of this. . In conclusion let .ps.ask the citizens of Johnstown, whether they expect to car ry their county by auch low vulgarity; billings gate, and blackguardism, as lately emanated from their press f ' Have they no other weapons ?4 Arc they unable to furbish any other arguments t Are they afraid to discuss temperately and Calmly the merits of their project? We cannot believe it. There must be some at least who blush jwith shame when they see their fellow citizens of . Jibensburg, however they may differ with tbcnVjiju opinion, traduced by their dirty hireling scrilfblers, and their charactera -assailed by the lowestrulgarity.

What, suppose the men of substance and character in Johnstown, don't want a new county? They are behind the age, they never dived into the subterranean abodes to get enlightened and isee SamueL What though it may be said that bread and beef is more wanted there, than a new county, that a soup society would be more desira ble than a court, and that morality and decency would be a greater distinction to the inhabitants, than to Tba-enrolled among the catalogue of coun ties. : Still if the lazaroni want it, they should have it. It is not right when they ask for bread to give them stones, or when they ask for fish, to give them scorpions. ! Now they simply ask a new conntv.'why not art'ty - The leading spirits who ask this county are men of extraordinary capacity, and it is a pity to keep them undistinguished in a rural village, whose only public building would be no great convenience for a sow and six pigs. Had the immortal author of the celebrated. Bran bag speech, or those legal gentlemen who are his admirers: and adherents, been living in a county seat, or city, instead of a rural village, the former would not have been put off-with member of Congress, or Superintency of a Railroad, nor would the latter be left " unwept unhonored and unsung." No sir, they would have stood high in the councils of the Nation. Well may they repeat the lines of that sweet poet " Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, .sp. .V. . .11 . . ..

Their civil and criminal jurisprudence is very important and greatly neglected. ' Their eivil business consists of appeals from Justice of the Peace, and the most unimportant of them -.amounts to five dollars and thirty-three cents, and many of them a great deal more; and their lawyers are compelled to go to a distance of eighteen miles and . make four hours speeches on these cases, before they are concluded, and then two hours speech fnofe in a motion for a new trial. Nor is their criminal calendar less unpleasant, they have a vigilant set of officers, who will not permit the laws to be trampled on except by them selves. Their s offenders who are prosecuted", are classified in grades, from those who steal three chickens up to a barrel of whiskey, and the officers of Johnstown witii their guards and assistants, are compelled to take' them to a distant Jail, and get nothing for it but the mere pittance that the law allows. Whereas if they had a Jail at home the greater part of these offenders could go into it when the navigation would close, and those offi cers would not be compelled to go to a distance to testify against them. Owing to the great dis tance and trouble in criminal prosecutions, they have only thirteen in the Western Penitentiary at the present time from Johnstown, whereas if there was greater facility in obtaining Justice, there might be three times that amount of their citizens there. Looking at the matter in any point of view' in which I can, I am sincerely of opinion from the reasons set forth that Conemaugh county should be erected. A Fabiczx or J a ex box Township. A Card. . Messrs.' "Editoes : I wish to know why it is that Judge Kinkead and myself have been selected out of more than fifty citizens of Ebensburg, who have all held and. expressed the same belief we did, and many of whom still entertain tbe same C wviction, that R. L. Johnston is the author of a scurrillous article over the signature of " Truth," that appeared in the " Cambria Tribune" of the 24th ult. . - - Now. if Mr. Johnston wishes to buckle on his harness like a gallant knight, and get up a news paper fight with me, he has mistaken his man. After Mr. Johnston had asserted in a public meeting, at the same time, calling God to witness what he said, that he was not the author of the article alluded to, it is in my opinion strange passing strange, that Mr. Johnston should thrust in my face and in the face of Judge Kinkead, a reiteration ox his former assertion, when it is known that I pu licly exonerated him from the charge, at our late Ccfunty Meeting. ; To the FEoruc I will give the reasons that in duced myself, in common with a large majority of my fellow citizens, to believe Mr. Johnston was the author. First, because of the peculiar style in which it was written : and secondly, because Mr. J. carefully abstained from appearing at any meeting called and held by the people of Cambria county on the subject of a division of our county and thirdly and lastly, because it is extremely doubtful that his opinions on the subject of a new county " at all times and in all places have been the same." . But it appears from his article that there is another crime Judge Kinkead and I are guilty of another atrocity, in bis opinion. The Judge worships God under the creed of Geneva, I, un der that of Rome, each of us, I believe, consci entiously. ' Jn a matter of such vital importance as this, 1 nave reason to think it matters not which is"right or which is wrong. Either and both of us are, in my opinion, in a safer road than s man who can openly boast that be is an " out sider!" - In the language of Chandler, "any kind of Christianity is better than Infidelity." MICHAEL DAN MAGXHAN. Ebensburg, March 2, 1855. . ' " Messrs. Editors; It seems that the' world cannot get along without R. L. Johnston, M.' D, Magehan, and my bumble self. I care not for fhc assertions of a man that can boast that he belongs to no church. I only asserted what was the com mon talk of our town ; stating that I believed Mr. Johnston was the author of the article oyer the signature of" Truth" in the " Cambria Tribune" of the 24 tb ultimo, judging from the stylo. IT frequently happens that men attach too much importance to thehMelvea. Mr. Johnston may possibly have been guilty of this weakness. But let it all pass. " I shall not chare a contest in which I have nothing to gain and may lose much. Let our neighbors judge of our merits, if any we have. II. KINKEAD. March 2,1856. . THE PEOPLE IIOVHTG !

Clark, Abram Jones, Esq., Daniel O. Ovans, John 11. Murphy, David W. Jones, and George Wilson, who subsequently reported the following preamble and resolutions through the Chairman. Whebeas, The convictions of the people of tbe county of Cambria, in the aggregate, are favor able to the continuance of the County upon its present geographical limits,' and are opposed to any measure calculated to abridge her Territory ; Therefore. Resolved, That n considerations of public interest, none of sectional duty, nor any which look to the disruption of Cambria County. can have an endorsement here. We stand in the Hall of Justice, ' built and paid for before the mountebanks who strut their brief hour " had a local habitation, or a name.-" When the river rises they will go off in the flood. At any rate their transient establishment-gives them no right to " lecture or to " Hector' honest men. Resolved, That the communication which ap peared in the Cambria Tribune newspaper, print ed in Johnstown, Hgned " Truth'' as emanating from this place, is a fit tor production for the Five l'oihta of New York, than for the purposes for which it was intended and the person who pen ned said communication should he set up in a pil lory for our town boys to burn in effigy. During the absence of the committee the meet ing was ably addressed by M. D. Magehan, Esq., R. L. Johnston, Esq., E. HFTcnissoN,Esq.,.nd Dr. Wm. A. Smith. On motion, the proceedings were directed to be signed by the officers, and published in the "Democrat & Sentinel" and ' Alleghanian." On motien, adjourned. . Meeting' at Carrolltown. At a meeting of the citizens of Carrolltown and vicinity, held at the Carroll town H9use, on motion JOHN FLICK was called to the chair ; Dominic Ager, Joseph Behe, Samuel Weakland, Jaoob Shawbanch, William Singer and Americus Ben der, were appointed Vice Presidents ; Henry Kirk- patrick, Peter Strittmatter, Samuel C Shaw and Simeon Schroth, wore appointed Secretaries. The object of the meeting was thea stated by Peter Kaj-lor, Jr. On motion, the following gentlemen were ap pointed a committee to draft resolutions : Ilenry Scanlan, Martin Schroth, J. Maocher, XL D., John Kepler, Simeon Litzinger, Jacob Bender, John Shawbauch,, Martin Flick and Gordon Sinclair, who reported the following resolutions : Resolved, That the citizens of Carroll township, are now. and ever will be, utterly opposed to any dismemberment of Cambria county, as altogether unnecessary ; knowing, as they do, that it will be unjust and oppressive towards the citizens of Cambria, and only advantageous to a few indi viduals at the propose! new county seats. Resolved, That we oppose the erection of the proposed county of Conemaugh, because we be lieve it to be a project got up by a few lawyers and property holders in Johnstown, who not content with the great advantages already possessed by them through tbe public improvements, over their fellow-citizens, are now trying to enforce this measure through the Legislature by fraudulent representations, and against the wishes of the citizens of the old counties to be effected by it. Resolved, That we are satisfied with Cambria county as it is now, and that we consider our lives, liberty and property perfectly safe in the hands of our present Judges, Commissioners, Sheriffs, and other ouicers. w e therefore ask the legisia ture to let us alone, and ak that body to prevent an increase of our burdens, already heavy enough. Resolved, That we consider the course pursued by citizens of Johnstown towards our fellow citi zens of Ebensburg. as highly degrading and dis honorable, and should satisfy the members of the Legislature that they are unworthy of the boon they ask at their hands. Resolved. That we utterly deny that George S. King was elected from this county as favorable to the proiect of the proposed county of Conemaugh. That the votes he obtained in Cambria county were given under the belief that be would sustain the interests of the whole county, and never thought that he would use the influence of his office to cut up our territory. Whilst the committee was out a remonstrance was handed in and received the signatures of over fifty of the citizens of Carroll township. On motion of J. Kepler, the proceedings were directed to be signed bj the officers and published in the Ebensburg papers. On motion adjourned. " Signed by the Officers. . Anti-DiTiiion Heetxu? at ZXtmster. The citizens of Munster township, met at Mini ster on Thursday evening, March, 1, and organized by appointing DANIEL FARREN. President; Henry O'Harra, John Myers and Joseph Noel.Yice Presidents ; Wm. Glass and Patrick Bradley, Sec-, retaries. , . The object of the meeting being stated, on mo tion, the following committe were app'd to draft resolutions: Daniel Bradley, John Cameron, Wm. Diver, Jas. Farrcn and Edward Farren, who re ported tho following, which, were unanimously adopted. Whebeas, It is the duty of every community, when their territory is about to be invaded or dis membered, to remonstrate against it, and to give their voice against U, by the most legitimate means in their power ; Therefore, T , - Resolved, That the people of Munster township do solemnly protest against any division of Cam bria county, either north or south, for the reasons that the territory of this county is already among the smallest . hi the commonweal th , and that the population even now Is too sparse to entitle it to a separate representation in the Legislature of the State.
