We refer to the report of. the proceedings of the Whig and Democratic County Conventions, which met here and selected the peoples ticket ; they will be read with delight by A-vary patriotic citizen, and will dispel the clouds of anxiety and uneasiness that have so long hung over our political horizon, because that the people can now look forward to a glorious and assured victory. .' ; '.':'.' ' , The Conventions had no ordinary task before them; it was a matter of extreme delicacy to take up the subject of a Fusion and carry it to a suc cessful termination, in the situation in .which things found themselves at this time. : Both par lies had their candidates in the field ; feeling had been excited ; men were already pledged to the support of this or that candidate, the emissaries of the secret order were active in the bosom of each party, laboring with the energy of - despera tion, to sow discord and confusion, to throw cold water on every tendency to anion, exciting the prejudices of candidates and their friends : it was incessantly dinned in the ears of either party, that they would bo sold and sold cheap. The prospect waa gloomy ; tte election was drawing near ; and Know-Nothing triumph seemed inevitable. All that numerous tribe of smart, keen-sighted poli ticians, who would certainly be brought out of their boots in the event of a Fusion, felt secure ; thev shook their heads portentously whenever it was mentioned, it wouhl'nt do," "was too late," and were rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of a devilish muss. , These cute gentlemen had overlooked one thing: they had forgotten that the People have a rouh mode of their own of sweeping away all such small fry and their cobweb machinery of petty intrigues. The people were in this case thoroughly aroused ; their instinctive sagacity demanded a consolidation of forces ; they were determined upon a Fusion, and all the difficulties in the way disappeared be fore their strong will like frost work in the morn ing sun. ' : ' ' " ' ' No other power but that of the people could have carried the deliberations of the Convention so harmoniously through. ,Nq other power but theirs could have produced such, unanimity in making the selections. The union, the ticket is the work of the people, and they will finish thoir work by electing it by triumphant majorities. The Fusion" so much ridiculed and sneered at, has been accomplished in the face of every difficulty it is now a fixed fact, and we would si vise the enemy to stand from under ; when the resistless columns of the people move to the charge, they will . stand no more chance than a fishing sack against a seventy-four. Let them come out from among the foul party, and once again meet ' their' neighbors and friends, openly and In the light of day.' They must now, be aware of the danger in which they stand.'' Even should they succeed, our county would be thrown into a state of anarchy, of social war, and should they be conquered, as they unquestionably : must be, their organization will bo crushed so low tb.it the na of resurrection will never reach U.'' CO-It is officially announced that it is a penal offence to deposite in any post office, to be con voyed in the mail, any envelope or packet con taining letters addressed ; to" different persons. The law upon which , the above is based is fre quently violated " by persons who are, perhaps, not aware of its existence. The thirteenth sec tion of tlte act approved March 8, 1847, reads that every .'person oflendiiig m the manner indi cuted above shall forfeit the sum of '. ten dollars, $u bo recovered, by action qui turn, one-half for the use of the informer and one half for th e urc of the Fost Office; Department." -There is or.e ex ception, however, and that is in the case of letters addressed to foreign countries.

" - - ' . . - No charges of trenchery, wire working or conui-" vauce can be brought agajust these nominations; They were made openly, and above iboard; they were made ..with unanimity and entliusiasm, and above all, they were made by the petjle. -, It was a refreshing and encouraging sight to' see those who bad so long been -political enemies, who had for long years stood arrayed in opposite hostile ranks, at this -time standing shoulder to shoulder, all animated by the one sentiment love of the institutions of their country and all ready to forget past quarrels, and ready to sacrifice, for the good of the country, every personal feeling. We never saw people so determined, or resolved; there was no excitement oi fuss; each man seemed to feel that he had a solemn duty to perform, and that he was responsible for the performance of it. f The vote in the Democratic Convention, on the adoption of the report of the Committee of Confer ence, which was 28 in favor and 5 against, shows how overwhelming was the popular feeling, and how determined to make a union at all hazards, were the delegates. , They knew that, the people were for it, and that they dare not go home with out making it. -. . . . Such being the feeling of the people, the pros pect for the ticket is most brilliant : - of - the suc cess of it there can be no doubt ; in fact we would not be sarprised to see the entire body of Know Nothing candidates decline. We can not think that they have reckless audacity enough to stand up against all Cambria county.' - '; ; A Challenge. " " ' '" In case that the Know-Nothing canuiJatos re main in the field, we think that it would be right and proper for them to come out before the people and tell them upon what grounds they claim an election. If they have any principles at all, out with them. Let us have a chance to judge of their good or bad teudency. If they are found to be good,: we will praise, and if bad will censure them. . The people would "like to" hear what you Know-Nothings have got to say lor yourselves. It is true that the people have already made up their minds about you, aud have decided what they will do with you, but as even the harshest Judge will always give a prisoner found guilty au opportunity to say something in exculpation, and will ask him if he has anything to say why sen tence of death should not be pronounced upon him, so the people will give you an opportunity to make what excuses you can, before they sweep your party out of existence. We will make you an fier. The candidates on the peoples ticket will meet your candidates at any time and place that you may select in Cambria counly before the election, for the pur pose of discussion. . , " ' - We will make you another offer. As meetings wlH probably be railed where our candidates "rill be present and will be called by their friends, we hereby invite you to attend them ; one of you or all of you you can either-appear yourselves or you can appear by champion we will treat you with every possible courtesy, and give you every chanco to be heard ; and will only ask of you to come In daylight, and to meet us in a public place, as it is inconvenient to be always chasing you around with ladders and lanterns. : , .There gentlemen is the best that we can do for you : the offers are certainly fair ; they cannot be misunderstood. . If it will not suit you to come to our meetings fix your time aud place ; we will meet you anywhere ; in town or in the country, inside of a house or outside of a house, on the street, in the woods, in a lane, in a fenco corner, in a birds nest, or vp a ladder. . ' , Exit Bowman.- . , The Ishmailite down street has doused his glim. After a nine months existence on half rations, he has come to the conclusion that the thing will not pay, and the " Allcghanian" tins week affords a striking proof that " (he vagrj of tints death." We are not disposed to exult over a fallen foe, and therefore our good bye to John shall be in few words ; in fact we had thought at one time to say nothing in relation to the demise of the lamented deceased, but inasmuch as . we have been travel ling so lovingly togother for some weeks back as we have been seeing him through, it would dis play an entire want of feeling not to make our appearance on ' , .,. - , . : M the last scene of all ' ' . Which ends this strange eventful history." We have too keen a relish for sport not to be in at the death ; it may be expected of us to say something funny on the occasion, but let the pub lic consider our " phelinx !" "We have really met with a loss ; Bowman was a good subject j we ex pected to have a great deal of fun out of him, but just as we had got him fairly opened up," Death came knocking at the door : doubtless John feels that it is like the story of the boys and the frogs it may have been fun for us, but it was death to himJ 1 ' . ' We must say that -he makes an exceedingly awkward "bo Wat leaving ; the way in which he tries to - kick out behind, is distressing; we did thiuk that we were getting him licked into some kind of shape, and had taught him grace and po liteness, but we must sorrowfully confess that he and good manners are " as widely sundered as the earth from the equator !" if we muy be allowed to quote his ' last, best, good thing. So " git cout" John, you are not sucn a bad fellow unturally, and had 300 been let alone, to la your own man, you would have made a good citiwn. - When you shake off your vicious asso ciates he-re. and go out into the world we cau re, commend yo:i as a jilly compauion, " with good uatural capacity for being a " human, and as willing to kneel at tlie slirine of Bacchus as the next man. .
