The October Election. It is to be fe;;red that in view ot the certain election of Jauks P.i ciianak, to the Presidency, the democracy of Pennsylvania are not as deeply impressed a they should be, with the very great Importance of the October election, as well as the powerful polilVal influence which the result of that election will exerci.-c on the Presidential is hje, not only in this state but throughout the L'niou. It id a well known fact, that whilst there are three Presidential candidates, Buchanan, Fill- ncrc and Fremont there are but hco tickets for yt.ite officers to be voted for at the October elec tion. One of these. Is the Democratic ticket, composed of Jacob Fht, Jr., of Montgomery county for Auditor General, John BowEof Frank I'.n couiity for Surveyor Oencral,. and George Cv'OTT of Columbia county, for Canal Commis f ner. Tlie ether fuktt, headod by Darwin j'r.eltts of Armstrong county, for Auditor Gener al, B. Laporte of Bradford county for Survcjor G .r.cral, and Thomas E. Cochran of York county tor Canal Couitnl-sioner, was originally nominate. 1 by the Black Republicans and subsequently en dorsed by tho Know Nothings, as well as by all tr.a ether factions opposed to the democratic par ty. To a superficial observer f passing Tiolitical movements, it would appear that the landmarks i.f party difference, are as broadly and distinctly drawn between the friends of FiVmore and Fre mont in this Btnte, as they are admitted to be, between the supporters of tlwse two gentlemen aul tho advocates cf Jamis Bi-chasax. The fuends of Fillmore through nil the forms of a State Cmvention, have presented to the people of Penn ejlvania for their suffrages, a full and complete Sectoral ticket, comjicsed of men, who are vcuihed for, as the steadfast and unyielding friends of that gentlcmnn. If this be so, and if, tut Fillmore adherents assert, there is aa ixapass ti!e gulf intervening between them and FVemont, over which they cannot and dare not pass, then t'.e mountain must come to the mole hill, or in r-rif defence, which, is something potent in politi cal warfare, the Black Republicans must n -mi-nata and support their own exclusive electoral ticket. Whether the Fillmore and Fremont lead ers in this state are sincere in their present move ments on the political chess-board, remains yet to be determined one thing is certain that while they differ ss widely as tho poles, as to the merit, strength and capacity of their respective candi dates, they are united as one man, in iupport of :ii m itate ticket, notwithstanding the ad- RIDGE mittcd fact, that each candidate on that ticket, is a Black Republican, of the deepest dye acd is as warm and enthusiastic in his support of Fremont as he is bitter and vindictive in his opposition to Fillmore. . We My then to our democratic friends not only here but elsewhere, that they cannot too highly estimate the vast political importance of the Oc tober election.' To Pennsylvania is ascribed by the eneimWof -James BccuANAN.the same honor able but responsible positinn, heretofore occupied by her, in many awell contested conflict the battle-field of the Union. That battle will be fought not on the fourth day of Nocenwef, but. os the Second Tukshat or October. Shall it be lost or shall it be won? Democrats! you have it in your power to make it a political Aus- terlitz to the combined cohorts of Black Republi canism and . Know-Nothingism. Will you do it ? will you falter in your duty in this hour of peril, when the very existence of the Uuion is shaken from its centre to its utmost cir- cumfcrence ? Shall the news be heralded with lightning speed, over the electric wires after the which it is his duty to pursue Every hon smoke of the battle shall have passed away, that est impulse of his heart roust tell him, that Pennsylrama, under the lead of her gallant ana accomplished sen has faltered 1 that the once im- prcguable fortresa of Democracy is iu possession of the enemy ? . We do not thus appeal to our democratic friends through any well grounded" fear of the result in Octoler, but simply to impress upon them the conviction, that they have a high and important duty to perform. We must fight the battle in J October, as though we were contending against a foe worthy of our steel ; for it is true in politics as well as in war, that to achieve victory, we ou"ht never to underrate the strength of our ad versary. Let us then prepare efficiently and vig- orOUSIV lor IU f:ioocr mmuu ici iiuuuuuj i prevail incur councils let every democrat feel I.a v-iorVir rpsnraisHiihtv that rests uncn Iiim hut above and bevond all. let there be a rfrm a ......j ..r j r - l fixed determination to succeed and the victory is already won.

The Know-Nothing Ticket. Tho Know-Nothing and Black Republican mountain, was seized with the pains of labor at Jefferson, on last Tuesday and brought foi th a political monstrosity, which is neither a mouse nor yet a long tailed rat. The progeny, as our readers will perceive, is compo.e;l of black spirits and white, blue spirits and gray Assembly John Tringle ; Associate Judges Moses Canan, Stephen Lloyd ; District Attor- ,y Charles V. Wingard; Prothonotary How- ard J. Roberts; County Commissioner Peter McCoy; 7'oor House Director Obadiah Ward; Auditors Abraham Good, John Van Scyock ; Senatorial Conftrees .lames D. Hamilton, How ard J. Roberts, W. W. Harris; Congressional Coriftrrees-Ecury Ely, J ames S. Clarke, J. W. Campbell. Joirs Pringle is a farmer of aldermanic pro portions ; as a man and a citizen we have nothing to say agau st him. He was suspected of being a democrat, until the advent of Know-Nothingism when he joined the order and is one of the lead ing spirits of that political moloch in Summerhill township, nis services at Harrisburg can be dis- j pensfd v.ith for the present. Moses Casak, is a whig of ancient merit and renown, it was rumored last fall, that he joined the Know-Nothings, but we cannot vouch for its truth. If he did v.e regret it, on account of his age and his amiable disposition. Stephes Lloyd, is a respectable citizen, well advanced in years of him it may truly be said, that his democracy never assumed a chronic form. We predict, that Moses and Stephen are not " destin-ed for till rise,1" judicially, CnARi.ES W. Wingard, is decidedly the fastest young man in politics, in oil these parts. In box ing the political compass, Tom Marshall of Ken tucky is a perfect fool to him. Although a Whig he proposed a short time since, to stump the coun ty for Buchanan being relieved of that task, he can now stump it for himself. We would like to hear Charley on the hustings. We can picture to ourselves the admiring crowd as they listen to his ingenious explanation of how a man, who wants office can jump Jim Crow And still they gazed and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew Charles can tarry at Jericho, until his beard grows longer. HowAnD J. Roberts, is personally unexcep tionaMe, and is well qualified for the office to which lie has been nominated. We regret ex ceedinglj' to see him m such bad company. But he that so wet h the whirlwind must expect to reap the storm. 1'i.Ti r M'Coy, was a milk and water democi at, until threowr four years ago. He has always been terribly afflicted with a wild hunt after office, but as the democracy could never discover Peter's sr.ng points, he deserted and went over to the Black Republicans. Ue has made his own bed and in it he must lay. If the Allegheny Town- ship boys dont give Peter a very neat and com- plete skinning, on the 14th of October, we will bc somewhat astonished. Obaptah Warp. We know very little of the political antecedents of this gentleman, except that he is a full blooded Know-Nothing, and therefore odious to the people of this county. The same may I said of Abraham Good and Jous Van Scyock they are all tarred with the same stick; The Congressional Conferees were instructed to vote for Johh Broth fbmse, Esq.; of Blair coun ty, and the Senatorial Conferees for A. C. Mullen, li.sq., of Cambria. The ticket is almost exclusively composed of Know-Nothings. If there is any one candidate on it, has never crossed the threshold of a lodge, his cowardly fears alone prevented him his svm- pathii-s and his votes were always on the side of the proscriptive order. Democrats of Cambria, the enemy is now fairly in the field watch his morerm-rds carefully and let the democratic pa,s word bo, V end T uedrnj of October." How Goes the Fight 1 Are the friends of the Union and Constitu tion in 4 Little Cambria" performing their duty, their whole doty, in the present cam paign? The time for action has arrived. Now'a the day and now's the hour." We therefore, sincerely invoke, every true patriot j within the limits of the County, to at once buckle on his armor for the contest, if he has not done so already, and battle manfully for the right, until the glorious banner, inscribed with the names of Buchanan and Brcckin- ridge floats in tnnmph. Buchanan can, and carrv this County by one thousand of a maj0rity,if his friends in the county bo will ?f Aftcr reviewing the position, principles and objects of the three different parties, that bare now their " candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency in the field, we think no true patriot can hesitate with regard to the course jamcs Buchanan. is the only candidate in the . - presi(lencv "that stands on a thoroughly national platform, and to whose charge the destinies of this mighty Republic, can be safely entrusted. :,v 7 What are the principles of the Black Re publicans?

WllUOUt ever siuipiuir, cicu iui a mu- tr e meet, to calculate the blessings of that union, which they are laboring to destroy. Actuated by the spirit of false philanthrophy, they are constantly endeavoring to draw on themselves and their children, the horrors of a civil war, and to. put deadly enmity between the sons of sires, who fought side by side, and shoulder to shoulder, in a common cause the holy cause of American Independence. The "Nigger worshipping" proclivities of JJlack Republicanism, are well illustrated the following extract, from an article which recentlv apt)cared in the V True American," mnnt or)Tftn w.Ushod :n Er:e colmtv ;n - - e r j this State: " "This twaddle about the Union and its 'preservation1 is too silly and sickening for any good effect.

So, according to the teachings of this Apos tle of Black Republicanism, the Union of the States, cemented by the blood of American freemen, which flowed at Iiunkerbill, Sarato ga, Urandywine, Trenton, Eutaw and York- town, during the struggle that "tried the souls of men," placed on a firm and equitable basis, by the labors of Washington, Madison, Franklin, and kindred spirits, and which has made us a great, free and happy people, is nothing when compared "with the liberty of a single slave." True, the dissolution of tbe union would ring the death knell of the last free government on earth, true, anarchy and confusion would reign triumphant over the land, but all these things are as nothing, when compared with " the liberty of a single slave ; better that the Uuion should be torn into thousand fragments, than that the principles of "false philanthropy," should not be car ried out. Freemen of Cambria, are you prepared to sanction the dangerous, the treasonable, the fanatical punciples of Jilack Republicanism t I If you are not, then your course is a plain one. dive your votes ana influence to James Buchanan, the statesman and pure patriot, the candidate of the " party, that carries the flag, and keeps step to the music of the Union." Huntingdon County. The war between the Fillmore and Fremont branches of the opposition appears to be waxing warm in this county. The following account of the Conveution' of the Fillmorcitcs we copy from the last Huntingdon Clnbe j Tub Excitement is Tows Yesterday. The Know-Nothing Delegate County Convention met yesterday afternoon, and after organizing, turned out every delegate who refused to pledge himself for Fillmore and Dontlson. The Fremont dtle- gates and applicants for office were all thrown overboard, and the following ticket put in no.ni- nation : Senator, J. Sewell Stewart; Assembly, Dr. Win trode ; Associate Judges, Bcnj. F. Patton and Benedict Stevens : Sheriff. Rem Lvtlo. : Pros- ecuting Attorney, Theo. II. Cremor : Commission- er, John Flcnner; Director of tho Poor, Henry Hudson ; Auditor, Joseph Gibbouey. All good and true, died in the wool Know-Nothings. Iu the evening both factions held forth one at the Court House and the other in the Diamond. Speakers addrcs-.ed both meetings. And consid erable oppositition towards each other stuck out about a feet, a feet and a half, and perhaps two feet, beforo they adjourned. At the F.llmore meeting, the ticket was ratified. At the Fremont meeting, notice was given that a County Conven- titn Fremont Delegates would be held in three weilts for te rurposo of putting in nomination another county ticket. Tue Globe also says that the Democracy are nP a"d doing, ready for action, and animated witl1 tbe strongest hopes of success. : fc- A pair of military companies are about be- organized in Johmtown. " Charley Moore, the fair thine. It is said in one of Shakeapeares plays, " The Tempest," that " misery makes a man acquaint ed with many strange lwd-fellows." Political as sociations, especially when controlled by a morbid appetite for office, usually produce a like result. A short time after the adjournment of the Cincm- nati Convention, the democrats of this place met at the Court House for the purpose of forming a Buchanan and Breckinridge Club. The preseuf candidate of the Know-Nothings and Black lie- not to be outdone by their brethren elsewhere, publican parties, for District Attorney, was pre- but to open the campaign with a demonstra sent at the meeting and aided in its organization; tion that will be only an evidence of what r 71 v V V 5 v pany naa a local habitation and a name, but when Know- ti : . . , . . , . , i Nothmgism rose triumphant on its rums, he sym- pathised with and voted for its candidates. Since .1 " w tuuu,J W1" euuvur w aiieuu' the organization of the Club, he has frequently 80 as to ald In stemS the torrent of fanati declared that Fremont wa unfit for President c,sm now roIling over the country, and which that he was a Buchanan manthat he would vote for him, believing him to be the man I for the crisis nay, that he would ttump the tchole county for Aint, and yet this pure and im- maculate patriot, has sought, and received a nom- ination for District Attorney, at the hands of the mongrel Know-Nothing and Black Republican Convention which assembled at Jefferson on last Tuesday. We congratulate the Democracy on the result, for the accession of any considerable number of such disinterested politicians to the Democratic ranks would have proved most dis astrous, we venture to say, that with him the second Tuesday of October, will be a day, long but not pleasantly to be remembered. A "Fillmnri HTnvinimt On Tuesday last, fourteen knights of the dark iontr.. frr fhA Biiti.m anr-arM!rn wFiEhinB of the county, met in council at the Court House, n what capacity they assembled, whether as reg- 1 ular delegates for a definite object, or as outside j barbarians acting on their own hook, we are not j informed. V e understand that an oath to sup port Fillmore, was the test of orthodoxy that nine of the aforesaid fourteen swore themselves through, and that the remaining five refused to do so and retired in disgust. The whole affair ap peared to be under the special care and supervi sion of AbraJtam Kopetin, Esq., of Johnstown. Abraham is a very clever young man, and is a perfect trump in the Know-Nothing lodges he entered the Know-Nothing cavern at a very late day, and now that his party is broken up and des- troyed, be seems determined to make up for lost time. He is the bead and front of the Fillmore party in this county and for this he deserves crcd- it. It is an evidence that he prefers a candidate, who to say the least, is national in his views, to Fremont, who, besides his total incapacity, is ex clusively the candidate of the northern abolition ists and fanatics. From the statements of one of the seccders, a great deal of " noise and covfuswu, prevailed in the meeting. After a protracted session, the con- clave adjourned. The only result of their labors was the appointment of Congressional and Sena- torial conferees, with instructions to the former to ort Kopelin. This is the beginning of a very interesting political fight. Congress. In pursuance of the joint resolution previ ously adopted, Congress adjourned at twelve o'clock on Monday last. The session will be a memorable one, not only on account of the sectional feelings ex hibited in the election of a Speaker at its or ganization, but for the fanatical and revolu tionary course pursued by the Black Repub lican and Know-Nothing majority, i.i refusing to pass necessary appropriation bills for the defence of the country, unless capital could be made for " bleeding Kanzas." for tho little legislation they accomplished for the country, nal strife, tho party he represents reing in and for their swindling operations by which sP'.rit sectional, and inevitably tending to dis thcy voted thousands of dollars into their own "" That in the election of .Millard pockets.

The Whigs of this State held a State Conven tion at Albany on the 14th inst., which was well attended. Hon. Francis Granger presided, and also addressed the Convention. He siH.kein the warmest manner of Mr. Fillmore and a series of resolutions were adopted, in favor of Mr. Fillmore, but not endorsing the Know-Nothing platform. The expression of the Convention was decidedly opposed to Fremost, as the following resolutions will show, and indicates the course to be pursued by the Whigs in that state.
