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-

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? Opposition to the principle of
popular sovereignty ; Opposition to the right
of the people of the territories to regulate
their own affairs, and adopt such a constitu
tion as they may deem best calculated to pro

and to. put deadly enmity between the sons of

The "Nigger worshipping" proclivities
of JJlack Republicanism, are well illustrated
the following extract, from an article which

this State: "
"This twaddle about the Union and its
'preservation1 is too silly and sickening for
any good effect. TTe think thnt the liberty of
a single slave is icorth au the. Union s Uod s
universe can hold.
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.

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

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

Aekansas. The late election in this State
J has resulted m the glorious triumph of the
Democracy. Gov. Conway h.s been re-elect

Returns are complete from 24 counties and
thus far Co Democrats and 10 Know-Nothings
are elected to the House, and 120 Demo
crats and 5 Know-Nothings to the Senate.
The legislature will thus be largely democrat

New York.
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.
HesiJied, That we will oppose to the ut
most extent of our ability the election of Mr.
r remont, believing that he is not qualified for
the Presidency of this Union. We firmly
believe his election would increase the mter-
nations secured, and the interests of ajrricul-
ture, commerce and manufactures promoted.
anJ therefore we will labor unitedly and cam-
eBty for uis election.

British Hatred to Democracy.
Our neighbors "over tbe water " take a
deep interest in the succe&s of tbe Black Re
publican party, and urge the election of Fre
mont with ardor. According to them, th
success of that Teufleman would greatly'ben
efit and gratify the cl'hs nf f reat Britain
We have no doubt that such would be the ease
and that the abolitionists of the North would
find powerful allies in the white slave drivers
Si a??bcSaDM,Lo.DdoD- Bi"ingha, and
bheffield. But will toe people of the United
States elect a President to gratify a natioa
which set a price on the head f W,.fv:...
and hIS compatriots? Will they obeth
dictation of British tyranny, and crush tU
Democracy of the New World. The London
thromcle a paper high in the confidence of
the British Government, holds the following
language in reference to our Presidential
struggle :
" We should bc sorry to see Mr. Buchan
an elected, becaup. he is in favor of preserv
ing the obnoxious institutions as thev exist
AND THE UNITY OK TnE STATES.
There is no safety for European monarchal
governments, if the progressive snirit of the
Democracy of the United State? is a'lowed to
succeed. Ei-ECT FREMONT, AND THE
FIRST BLOW TO THE SEPARATION
OF THE UNITED STATES IS EFFECT

Mr. Bcchaxav ix California. We ar
permitted to publish the following extract of
a letter from Hon, Milton S Latham, which
shows the enthusiasm with which the Califor
nia Democracy receive the nomination of Bu
chanan and Breckinridge :
Dear Sir : Buchanan and Breckinridge take
ike wild nre with the people. We will carry
this State by ten thousand majority, without
tail. 1 mtend to participate very actively in
the canvass, and use all my energy to finally
overwhelm aU the isms" of the day.
MILTON S. LATHAM.
Hon. H. S. Storm
now Staxps tub Recorb. In 1810 Vr.
Buchanan addressed a Democratic convention
in Pennsylvania as follows :
" The whig party bad in Mr. Clay a can
didate of whom they might justly be proud
a man of bold and fearless heart, a man of
bold and. commanding eloquence, mud a man
of distinguished ability. Although opposed
to hia political principles, yet I have ever felt
for him the highest regard."
And yet in the face of the above declara
tion, Mr. Buchanan baa been pronounced
"th klandew of Henry Clay."
