-'Fourth of July. From present indications
the approaching anniversary of our independence
will le serei ally celebrated throughout the coun
ty. In this place the citizens have cot made any
arrangements for a celebration here, but, many
conteaiplaio uniting with those in other parts of
the county. The scholars in the Sunday Schools
of the dilTtreDt churches will have a procession,
appropriate exercises at the churches, and a din
ner. In the evening a cotillion party will be
ivtn at Litzinger's Hotel, w hich vill no doubt
be well attended.
At the Summit there will be a general turn out
to the pic nic. Gen. M 'Donald will deliver the
oratit n. At Hemlock the Washington Iiifle.
will celebrate the day, and where several persons
we understand, have been invited to attend and
address the assemblage. At Johnstown the day
will be celebrated by the "Odd Fellows" and
citizens. It is expected that the procession of
' Odd Fellows will be large, as quite a number of
lodges in this region cf the State have been invi
ted to attend.
There will also be a large celebration at the
Cherry Tree, so that all whether m the North or
South of the county, will not be at a loss whf.re
to go. and can again have an opportunity of cel
ebrating the anniversary of our National icdepen

The interests and rights of tho South are at

uniting with the Democracy, we wiil do less
injustice to our principles as Whigs, than we
should have to do in giving' our, aid to-the
Know Nothing party since Democracy f a
yors more of Whiggery than Know Nothing
ism docs, besides the advantages of one being

For the Democrat and Sentinel
State Senator. .-.
The ascendency of the democratic party in
the next Legislature will, in alllikelihood. de
pend . on the result of the conteit for State
Senator in this district next fall; consequent
ly, the importance qf securing the nomination
cf a talented, popular and reliable man as the
Democratic candidate, cannot easily bo over
rated. Permit me to call the attention of tho
people of the district, through the : column?
of your paper, to a Democratic citizen of this
County, who has often been tried and never
found wantirjg, and who ia, every way quali
fied to represent them with marked ability in
the State Senate," in a word, to your fellow
townsman Dr. WILLIAM A. SMITH.-
Dr. Smith is well and favorably "known to
the people nf the district, and has always
beeu a favorite with the democracy of Cam
bria, He was a member of the House of
representatives of this.State, during the ses
sion of 1850, and was universally regarded
by his constituents as an able and efficient
representative He is'evidently the man for
the crisis and inasmuch as Cambria county is
clearly entitled to the candidate. I have no
doubt, that if her democracy declare him to
be their choice, the Democracy of the district
will cheerfully place him in nomination and
extend him a willing and efficient support.

We will let the "former editor of the Post be
heard to-day, by transferring from the Mt.
Vernon 'Banner the following remarks:.
Old Line Whigs for Buchanan. - ''
One f the -most pleasing things connected
wita tue present campaign, is the fact that so
many of the prominent Old Line Whigs are
out zealou.-Iy for the election cf James Buch
anan to the Presidency. Thee men are wed
ded to the Union as it is, aud opposed .to ab
olitionism, fanaticism, treason aud disunion,
which are the leading characteristics of the
epponr-nfs of Democracy.
Amongst the many changes of this kind we
have recently noticed arc the following :
Senator B enjauiiv, of Louisiana, a leadiug
Whig of that State, and one of th-3 most elo
quent, popular and influential orators in the
South, has joined the. Democratic ranks, and
is now doing good service for the Constitution
and Laws. . -
Mr. Preston, of Louisville, one of the most
conspicuous Whigs iu Kentucky, and a bosom
frieml 'of Hcnrv Clav. was a delegate to the
late Cincmuati Convention, and is now exer
ting his fiue talents for . the success of the
Democratic party. .
Josiah Randall, a leading lawyer of Phila
delphia a man of wealth, in3uence and in
tellectwho has heretofore beeu one of the
most prominent Whigs in the country, was at
Cincinnati during the Convention, wot king
with all his energies to insure the nomination
of Mr, Buchanan. - , . '." - - ,
Win, B. Reo-d and James M - Schofield, w ho,
in former times,' were among the most promi
uout Whigs of Philadelphia, addressed the
Democracy at tLe great ratification meeting at
tliat city, a feWdays ago. - .
and influential Whig, and au eloquent speak
er at tnebar and ou the bturnp, addressed the
Democratic ratification meeting at DaytOD, pa
Saturday. Ifc ia now doing yoomnn'a service

Buchanan-is Ouio The, nomination of
Buchanan and. Breckinridge is enthusiastical
ly received ia Obioj The papers .are unusu
ally cordial and jubilant. in i.heir notices of the
event, while ratification meetings of the peo
ple are being beld in every city or. considera
ble loqulity.rj Not only is the old guard of De

good, old, caus. ,,,Unk-ss -all. indications are

oarry the State by a bandsomp majority,;
T C"Ano a. Anting which you ha vi? not
J san.es Btct.ax.an cn the Know-Kctticg
Question- .
On the 7tb day of October, 1S52, Jatnrs
Buchanan delivered a speech m Greensturg,
Westmoreland county, Pa., in advocacy of
the Democratic cause. Ia that' epeech be
thus eloquently alluded to the anti-American
principles of those who would persecute the
foreign born citizen on account of his birth or
difference of religious views.. We call the
especial attention of the friends of civil and
religious liberty to his pointed denunciation
of the principles that are now at the basis of
the .Know-Nothing organization. .., Said Mr.
Buchanan : .
From my eoul I abhor the practice of ming
ling up religion with politics. The doctrine
of all our Constitutions, both Federal and
State, le, that every man has an indefeasible
right to worship his God according to the dic
tates of his. own conscience. " He is loth a
bigot and a tyraut who would interfere with
that sacred right. When a caudidate ia be
fore the people for office, the inquiry ought
never to be made, what form of religious faith
he possesses, but ouly, in the language cf Mr.
Jefferson " Ii he honest; is he capable:"
"Democratic Americans 1" What a name
for a Native American party ! When all the
records of bur past history prove that Ameri
can Democrats have ever opened wide their
arms to receive fuiitigiu-is living from orr,res-
sion in their native land, and have always be-
stowed upon them tho rights of American !
citizens after a brief residence in thi:? country.
The Democratic party have always gloried in
this policy, and itsfrui's have been to increase
our population and our power, with unexam
pled rapidity, and to furnish our country with
vast numbers cf .industrious, patriotic and
useful citizens. Surely the name of Dem
ocratic 'Americans " waa a unfortunate de3
ignation for the Native American party.
The Native American party au ""A 'eri
ca n excellence," and the glory of its founder,
ship, belongs to George Waslmi"jn ! No,

i'j . 1-..1 i-.ix: a.i.vtu tinuiruiu iiie uieiiiorv ox j
hat il!ustnrr!s man from such an imputation.
As 1-tJg as thi recent, memory cf cur revolu
tionary struggle remained vividIy'i'uipreVsJ
on the hearts of cur country uk;i, n: such
party could have existed. The recelberion
of Montgomery, -Lafayette, De Ka!h, K sci-u.-ko.
and a long list of foreigner?, both offi
cers and soldiers who freely thed their blood
to secure our liberties would have rendered
such ingratitc.de impossible. Our revolution
ary a;uiy was !Ic:d with the brave and patri
otic natives of their lands; and George Wasa-inirtou-
was tu.;r. Commander-in-Chief.
Would- he have ever closed the door against
the adtniss-ion vf foreigners to the rights of
American citizens? Let his uefs speak fur
themselves. '
' So early as the 20th of M:.rh. 1700, Gen.
Washing tin, as Pr-eldt cf tie United Srales
approved the liitt law wtiu-h ever passed Ccn
gresji on the su.bjv.ci, of naturalization t and
this only required a residence. of two years
previous to the adoption of a foreigner as au
American citizen. On the liOrh of January.
170"), the U-rm cf residen: e was fitended
by Congress to live years, aud thus it remain
ed throughout General Waoliiugtou's admin
istration; and until the accession of John
Adams to the Presidency. In his administra
tion, which wiil ever be known in history as

"We will try to answer Because it is the
party of the constitution ; because it is the
party which has at all times resisted and batT
led the designs of those who, whether insidi
ously or openly, made war against its wise
provisions; because it is the party which
would preserve this Union by preserving the
constitution upon which-this Union rests; be
cause it is the party which defends the equal
rights of the citizen and makes no war upou
his religious belief; because it is the party
whose policy alone has beea earned into the
practical legislation of the government, and
proved by loug experience to be wise and beu
eficial ; t ccaus? ifis the party which repealed
the alien and sedition laws ; because it is the
party 'which crushed the powec of the United

because it is the party which recommended
and enacted that wise finaaciil - Treasure, tho

because it is .the party .which enacted the rev

whieh, though ever opposed , by those who
now constitute the Knov-N"tbiug party, and
