The Black Republican Meeting.
A meeting of the combined forces of Know
Nothingism and Black Republicanism, was held
In the Court House on Wednesday evening,
about one half of the crowd was composed of
democrats. TLe meeting was addressed by S. S.
LLtir, Esq., of Uollidaysburg, Judge Spalding of
Ohio and Mr. Howard, of Titt&burg. The "Kan
sas outrage" formed the staple of the respective
speeches, and which were merely a rehash of the
shrielt for freedom, which daily appear in the
New York Tribune. Mr. Blair made about as
strong a defence of free niggerism as could be ex
pected. Judge Spalding hails from Cleaveland.
lie has been a rampant abolitionist of the Gid
dings school since 1848. We believe he was a
delegate to the Philadelphia Convention that
comiuated John C. Fremont. In one of his trea
sonable harangues before that body, or in a
peech after its adjournment, he made use of the
following language:
"In the case of the alternative being presen
ted, of the-continuance of Slavery or a dissolution
of the Union, lam for dissolution, and I care not
how qaickly it comss."
Standing on such a platform, we leave those
who heard htm to decide what .nanner of man he
is, and whether he is not a fit colaborer in the
dirty work of Sumner, Grecly, Burlinqame, Banks
and others of that school, who are in favor of
"Ittiing tiie Uuion slide."
Mr. Howard was originally a Know Nothing
be ropented, and for a short time played the
part of a bogus democrat and in order to secure
a nomination for Congress from Allegheny coun
ty, became an active Republican; but the Conven
tion put their veto on his political aspirations.
He is exceedingly full of stale, common place an
ecdotes, and is much better calculated to amuse
a crowd ia Dau Rice's Circus, or to play a prom
inent part at a nigger boe down, than to enlight
en a Cambria county audience. The next time
Le visits Ebensburg, we advise him to bring his
Banjo along with him we guarantee him a full
hou;t; one that will more than pay expenses.
THE SPEAKERS.
Our space will not allow us to-day to describe
as we would wish the Orations of the different
jentiemcn who addressed our citizens on last
Wednesday afternoon and night. To say that
the addresses of Messrs. Stokes, CofTey, Black,
Wilson, Tthcy and Perching, were argumentative,
logical, persuasive, abounding in historical facts
and illustrations, flashing with wit and brilliant
declamation, but feebly expresses the sentiment
of admiration which prevails in our community.
We only wish that they could be heard in every
district in the Commrnwealtb. Our citizens were
delighted, and aroused. - The effect of these
speeches will bo evident in the utter destruction
wkich awaits fanatci?tn ami sectionalism in onr
r.rfw thfs fall.
Old Washington Movlnr.
It will be seen by reference to another column,
that the friends of the Constitution and Union in
Washington township, formed a Buchanan and
Breckinridge Club, on last Saturday, and are
going to work in earnest. They have elected as
President of their Club, Pual George, one of the
oldest and most respected citizens of the county
a man whose character is without speck or stain,
he has hitherto been a member of the old line
Whig party, but in common with the thousands
of true hearted Whigs who have already dclared
themselves, he cannot stand by with folded arms
and see fanatics dismember and cut up onr glo
rious Ur.ion to gratify their own reckless and sel
fish ambition.
Another old line Whig, Samuel II. Gray, wai
elected Secretary of the Club. lie is an indus
trious mechanic, a man of intelligence and infor
mation, lie mado quite a neat address when
called upon by the Club which we commend to
the notice of those whohave hitherto acted against
us. These changes and their examples will not
be without their effect and influence, throughout
the county, and as regards the township, we will
roll up a majority in October and November that
will satisfy every body that the patriotic spirit of
the county is excited.
TnETIblES OF EBENSBURG.
The Democracy owe a conspliment to the La
dies of our borough. They presented, on last
Tuesday, a magnificent Bmquetof thechoisest
and most splendid flowers, to each of the Orators,
who spoke at the Democratic meeting. It was
decidedly the most beautiful and interesting inci
dent of the occasion.
Miss Margaret Rhey, on behalf of the ladies of
Ebensburg, also presented to the Delegation from
Washington township, a glorious Bouquet cer
tainly the choice one. The present, and the
kindness with which it was presented, went to
the hearts of the gallant Mountaineers, as was
evinced by the rapturous cheers with which it
was received. It was refresh:ng and encouraging o
observe that while the gentlemen of Ebensburg
seemed to have forgotten the common, every day
civilities of human intercourse, the ladies were ac
tive to manifest their appreciation of patriotic
effort and exertion.
"Honor to woman to her it is given
To garden the earth with the roses of heaven,
All blessed she linketh t lie love in their choir
In the veil of the graces her beauties concealing.
She tends on each altar that's hallowed to feeling,
And keeps ever liring the fire."
A. C. MULLIN, EiSQ.
The nomination of this gentleman, as the sena
torial candidate of the opposition in this District,
has greatly offended the nice political sensibilities
of the editor of the Blair County Whig. It is a
family quarrel, in the result of which we feel very
little interest. In the last number of his paper,
Maj Raymond was delivered of the following
blood and thunder mauifesto :
' The Senatorial Conference for this District,
belonging to the American party, met at Altoona,
on Thursday last, and on the first ballot, nomina
ted Alex.C. Mullin, of Cambria Coumy, for State
beuator w c leel sorry tor tlie sake of the Dis
trict, the character of the party which nominated
him, the interests of the people of Peunsj Ivania,
and the certainty of throwing the District into the
hoods ff ttiv Lcf--s, tlt tircj- TrTFiiiiiau-U this
man Mulliu. If bargains of this kind are to be
made by candidates in the several Counties in or
der to promote the treat and obnoxious of the par
ty, the people will repudiate them.
Wc may as well state it now as in the future, that
the Blair County Whig will in no way prostitute
itself oy aiding in the election of Alex. C. Mulliu.
Any man of character in the District would have
received our unqualified suppoi t, but in the pres
ent crisis, we hope the Republicans will select a
man and go into the contest against Locofocoism,
ami endeavor to succeed.
It is only necessary to say that he was one of
the men who, three v-ears ago, were connected
with the Alleghenian, at Ebcnsburg, a sheet that
was purchased by the Locofocos, and Mullin to
stand for its dirty work against ti e Whig candi
date for Senator at that time. To dwell on this sub
ject, because it is a fruitful theme, misht lead us
again into the meshes of the Itw, at the instance
of a pitiful creature like Mcllin.
We repeat it, that we are extremely sorry that
wiser councils did not prevail in the Conference.
The.e were some good men in that Canference.
but theii judgment must have been overreached
in order to get a candidate for Congros in the field
from this County, who is equally if not more ob
jectionable than Mullin. We "hwe fallen upon
evil times.
Choate'8 Letter.
We publish in this week's paper an admi
rable letter from Hon, Rufus CuoATE.of Bos
ton, to the Maine Whig State Convention.
Mi. Choate is, by universal assent, one of the
great men of America. As a scholar he baa
few superiors as a lawyer, he ttands pre-eminent
as a statesman he is "sound, practical
and enlightened as a patriot we may claim
for him an exalted rank among the best and
purest in the land. He was the bosom friend
of Wcbster.and stood by that illustrious states
man in all his battles for the Constitution; ami
when mere politicians and weak minded fana
tics deserted the great Massachusetts Senator
in 1850, because he supported the Compro
mise measures, Rcfus Ciioatb adhered to hiui,
advocated the man and the measures, and by
the force of his mighty mind and burning elo
quence silenced the legions of howling fana
tics who were crying out crucify him ! cru
cify him !" Such is the man who now steps
forward in this hour of gloom and peril, to re
buke, once more, the1 demagogues and traitors
who have raised their parricidal hands against
the Constitution and Union of their country.
Nor is he alone in this honorable and patriot
ic effort In all sections of the country emi
nent Whigs who. in other days, fought gal
lantly under the banners of Clay and Web
ster, and stuck by their party while it had an
existence, have arrayed themselves with the
Democratic party in defence of souud national
principles.
It is rumored that the National Intelli
gencer, one of the oldest and most influential
old line Whig papers in the United States is
about to declare its determination to sunnorr.

news is not too good to be true.

burg, and one of the most popular public mi.m.v-Ar
ia the State rs on for Buchanan
Charles Sumner.
We Lave hitherto refrained from saying
anything in reference to this gentlemrn who
we believe, is still sojourning at Cresson, in
this county. Whether bis health is as deli
cate, as some of bis friends and admirers rep
resent it to be, must be determined by those
who have seen and conversed with him. If,
on the other hand, as is alleged, the object of
his visit to Pennsylvania is for the purpose of
creating political sympathy for the party with
which he acts, and thereby bolstering up the
waning fortunes of Fremont; he has sadly mis
taken the field of his operations The " frosty
sons of thunder" do not desire to hear any of
his wild and rampant denunciations of the
South and her institutions ; they do not wish
to hear disunion talked about as familiarlv as
at
household words; but infinitely rather, the
patriotic sentiment of his predecessor, Web

either in favor of Mr. Sumner as a man, or
his sentiments as a politician :
" This martyr to Free Kansas, Free Speech
and Free Niggers, as we stated in our last, is.
or lately has been, rusticating at the house of
Dr. Jackson, of Cresfon. Since his arrival,
what little sympathy was manifested for him
in this neighborhood has entirely ghen way
to feelings of deep disgust. There is nothing
whatever the matter with him. He is hale
ami hearty, has a good appetite, and talks pol
itics with all the bitter vindictiveness that a
Yankee fauatic can command.
One day last week," Col. D. II. nofius, an
old line Whig, and J. Blair Moore, Demo
crat, of this place, and Col J. J. Patterson,
Republican, one of the editors of the Ilarris
burg Herald, visited Cresson. Iu company
with a man named Gemmil, at the invitation
of Dr. Jackson, tooy called upon Mr. Sum
ner, who received them very cordially. He
soon asked Mr. Ilofius how Mr Ford had suc
ceeded here. The Colonel told him frankly
that he did not succeed very well that his
meetiag was composed of Democrats aud Fill
aiore men that very few Fremont were pres
ent, in consequence of thi re being but few in
the place.
This frank, avowal irritated the gentleman
with the soft brain, and lie poured forth a per
fect torrent of invectives against Pennsylva
nians. While emptying his vials of Black
Republican wrath, he declared that the Whigs
and Democrats of Pennsylvania were white
slaves, and that he should glory in seeintr
them brought to the block, aud disposed of
unuer tne auctioneers hammer.
This unqualified assertion of the Yankee
tanatic did not fail te arouse the indignation
of the Pennsylvanians, and Col Ilofius made
some tart reply, which ouly aggravated the
matter the more, and he showered abuse of
the foulest kind upon Pennsylvania indescrim
inatcly, aDd when the party attempted to vin
dicate their State, the dignified Yankee Abo.
litionist cooly opened a Boston paper and com
inenced reading. The party came away coni-
plAMly xllBflMlcd, and tJi-l. IIOUUS, who .ic-
viously felt great sympathy for the man be-
tore lie uttered such atrocious sentimei.ts, de
dares openly that his honor earned a great
many caniugs ttian tie lias ever received.
Hon. Lynn Boyd.
We observe, in a number of papers, a state
ment that this gentleman, in a political d is
cussion at Dresden, Tennessee on the 5.h of
August, shot a certain Mr. Blakely, one ot
the I-remont electors for the state of Ken
tucky. We knew that the rumor was unfoun
ded, from the fact that there is no Fremont
electoral ticket, either in Kentucky or any
any other slave holding Ftate. We are infor
med, however, that a letter was received iu
this place last week from Mr Boyd's wife to
her relatives here, in which she states that the
report is without any foundation whatever.
Mr. Boyd was at bis home in Kentucky at
the time the difficulty is alleged to have taken
place.
Merited Rebuke.
Hon Wm II. Witte, while recently ad
dressing a meeting of the Norristown Central
Buchanan Club, was interrupted by Gause,
the editor of the Olice Branch; and, after the
adjournment, Rev. Samuel Aaron made his
way through the crowd to the speaker and
challenged him to a discussion. No t-ir."
said Mr Witte, "and I will give you my rea
sons :
A proper respect for my character as a
Democrat, entirely forbids a discussion with
a so-called Minister of the Gospel who has de
secrated the pulpit, and soiled the sacred robes
of his office by dragging them in the slimy
pool of party politics, and proved himself a
traitor to his ..od, his country and the Consti
tution. - ........
A rebuke which we trust may prove bene
ficial to others, if it should not to the madman
to whom it was so properly administered.
The Glorious Trio.
Whilst Sumner, Ford, and Burlingame are
concocting treason at Cresson, which is situatel
in Washington township in our county, the pat
riotic citizens of tnat township are taking active
measures to counteract their schemes, as will
13 seen by our columns to-day. It will be
seen that they have entered the fhld, and that no
set of men are more active in the movements
there, thau the old line Whigs, the disciples of
""! J TIT l .
w.ayaua v ei.ster, tho men whom Sumner and
his two " bowers" are trj ing to humbug, but who
are the very men who repudiate and despise him,
his treachery aud his associates. It will be seen
by our paper to-day, that the Whigs of old Wash
ington, the Georges, the Sharps, the Grays, and
many others, are not deceived by Sumner and
his " Yankee notions." Pass it round.
Congressional and Senatorial Conferences.
We understand the Congressional noT.V
from this District will meet at JohnBfown n
next Friday, and that the Senatorial Confer
ees will meet at Uollidaysburg, on next SaU
urday. , The result of their respective dclib
erationi will appear in oar paper of next week.
Swindling1
Two years ago a Know Nothing tornado
swept over the couutry, and by which a large
number of the disciples of " Sam" suddenly
found themselves elevated to the halls of our
state legishture, and of Congress. How they
exercised their brief authority in the "Kev
stone" the people of our good old state will
long remember, and the obnoxious laws then
passed pointed to as monuments of their fanat
icism and folly. Some of them have since
been repealed, but the law providing for an
increase of their pay and by which they voted
five hundred dollars into each of their own
pockets still remains. They were not content
with the old law which gf vc a Pennsylvania
legislator three dollars a day and viileuge, but
changed it to a salary of 500 per annum, and
made the law applicable to themselves.
The example thus set in Pennsylvania has
been followed by their brethren in the present
Congress. Eight dollurs a day, and eight
dollars for every twenty miles travt l in going
to and from the 6eatof government was too lit
tle for those Ainericaus who should rule
America-" and they have accordingly voted
to raise the pay of members of Congress to
$3000 per annum, and made the law apply to
the present Congress
By this legislative trick the present Know
Nothing Congress has not only immortalized
itself, but the it.enil crs have received several
hundred dollars more than, they bad contracted
for with their constituents at the time they
were elected. Like their brethren in Penn
sylvania they sec the baud-writing on the wall,
and know that the voice of an indignant peo
ple will soon compel them to retire to that ob
scurity from which they suddenly emerged.
They are well aware that it is their last chance
and they make a grab at the public treasury
and fill their own pockets, whilst they at the
same time refuse to vote supplies to the pol
diers engaged in the defence of the couutry
Even tho New York Tribuue, the organ ot
the Black Republicans, is forced to condemn
this act, to which it alludes in the following
strictures :
It was just forty yoars ago that the Con
gress ,f that day undertook to increase the
pay of members. They put it up to barely
ftl.oOO a 3'car, which is about what thev now
receive, on the average, at the old charge of
eight dollars per day. e believe that they
did not make the rise retrospective, as the new
act docs. Yet this $1,500 a year demolished
nearly all who were concerned in it. Henry
Clay, who had not had a competitor at the
polls for some time previous, barely taved
uimselt trom detoat by superhuman exertions.
uurivalled ability on the Mump, by appealing
to his great and admitted public services, and
ny virtually contessing that he had done wrong
and promising to do better. Members of
moderate abilities aud ordinary services went
down betore the surge of public mdnrnation
like drj- grass. before a prairie fr. Th new
I'ongress hastened to repeal the Compensation
Act and go back to the eight dollars per day,
which did not look so insignificant to their
constituents at their lonelv firesides as to the
dispensers of millions at Washington
.
'But the retrospective feature of the new act
is most iudefeasible. Every member now in
Congress virtually contracted to serve thrf-ush
the last term for $720. Instead of that, "a
majority have now voted to take to themselves
$3,000 for that service. This is not exactly
stealing, but it is a very sharp kind of convey
ing. See if it docs not bow down a good ma
ny of those engaged in it ! We earnestly ad
vise all parties not to put up any member-:
who voted for this grab in any of the close dis
tricts. It will not be safe.
"People of the United States ! ask youi
present or prospective candidates for Congress
what they think of this new Conipfnr.tion
Act. and try to have their answer iu black and
white before you vote for any of them !"
It is not long since Mr Greeley congratu
lated the country on having such a glorious
"ongrcss as the present. He might havs tol
erated a little stealing in consideration of ex
tra services on the Kansas question.
W A SII I XG TONTO WNSIIIP.
We were not a little gratified to witness
the fine display, made by the democracy of
this township at the county meeting yester
day. The Buchanan and Breckinridge club,
at Hemlock headed by that old and well known
citizen Paul George, with their banners and
transparencies made such a show as astonish
ed tho Fremont men of this region Accom
panied by the stirring strains of the Newry
Brass Baud, with their wagons crowded down
with the hard fisted Democrats, as tbey mov
ed through our streets, they won the admira
tion of all, and gave assurance that all was
right in Washington, and that this Gibraltar
of Democracy was impregnable against the
assaults of Sumner, Ford and company.

Refusing' the Supplies
The refusal of the Black Republican major
ity in Congrees to grant the necessary appro
priation for the support of the Army, and the
forts, arsenals and other defences of the Nation
is revolutionary in the extreme, and goes
to show what Black Republicanism is and what
it will do. This is the first time in our his
tory as a Nation, that Congress has adjourned
without -voting means neccessary to carry on
the machinery of govern Dient. Every sensible
man can see at glance the object of these Black
Republicans, in withholding tho means neces
sary to cuable the President to keep in check
the bands of lawless men. North and South,
who have created all the disturbances in Kan
sas. They hope by compelling the Govern
ment to withdraw the troops statioued there,
to give up Kansas to tho fanatics and desper
adoes who have been making the mischief,
and then throw the llanic of any outrages
that may be committed on the Administra
tion and the Dcinocatic party. Yes, they ore
willing to lock up and prevent its circulation
among the people -of fifteen viiVinns of the
public treasure, and bring ruin and distress up
on tbouands ol laboring men and mechanics, j
aud upon the country generally, if so be they
can elect their disunion candidate to the Pres
idency! But the game has bean blocked by
the firmness and patriotism of the President,
and the people will still farther pet the fcal of
their disapprobation upon such conduct on
the -1th of November next.
The Daily Xcics has the following strong
language in reference to this infamous proceed
ing of the Black Republican majority iu
Congress:
This revolutionary proceeding cannnot fail
to attract the attention of the entire nation,
and to drmontrate to the American people
how wild and impracticable how violent and
terrible this new organization is. and how
faijhfully it reflects the ultraisin and extrava
gance preached in its partisan sheets Ou
the stump; in the pulpit, through the n"wn
papers, it labors to excite Stats ngainst State
and to array section against section, to divide
our people into hostile camp, and to draw a
line across tho fat;e of our co-nmr n coun ry.
In Congress, it wars openly apainst the Gov
ernment it cannot control, ai:n8 to revolution
ire the country, ptands sponsor to treason
aud rebellion, and refuses to grant the money
needful to keep on foot our army establish
ment. It prefers tht the army be disbanded,
the settlers on our Western frontiers left with
out protection from the hostile sarair, the
emigrants across the plain unguarded on
their lonely journey, the forts in our harbor?
dismantled . the munitions of war uncared for
in our arsenals, private and public property
to the amount of millions left exposed to dep
redation rnd los it prefers, in short, to do
what no party in our country has ever hereto
fore attempted to do to paralize the arm of
Government for the nake rf making a little
miserable " party capital!"
Such is Black "Republicanism," and such
ar its first fruits. In the control of one
House of Congress, it can refune to vojte the
monev to carry on th affairs of Government
Should it ever obtain the control of the Exec
utive branch, by the election of Fremont to
the Presidency, what further and more fatal
aggressions misht it not be expected to make
acainst the welfare and permanency of the
Union ?
Several Screws Loess.
From developments thus far made, it appear
that at leat o"r gentlemen placed on the
FPlmor and Donelsnn Electoral ticket, by the
Parrisburs State Convention, are Rron 2 friends
of Fremont It is stronirly suspected that a
few of the remaining Electors ocennv the same
position, and that by a kind of political leger
demain, which wns srtfu'Tv plaved off in the
Convention on Jh n R Edit. Fillmore's light
hand man, the Ex-Pres;dpnt ha been essen
tially sold. The discovery of this lrra.on has
naturally proned a strong fcelirp of indig
nation in the Fillmore camp. What action
will be held in the premises remain? yet to be
?aen. In Philadelphia, where, as between
Fill moi-o and Fremont, the star of the former
is in the nscendant, and whre, sink or swim,
live or die, survive or perish, the Know Noth
ings evince a settled determination to support
Fillmore, the following is a part of thepro
eeedinrs of the Fillmore eity and county Con
vention, which assembled a few days since.
Mr Samuel Lloyd offered the following sub
stitute :
Whereas. It is reported that one or more
per.ons hav been placed upon the Electoral
Ticket in this State who are not in favor of
the candidates of the American party for
President and Vice President, this Conven
tion respectfully request the State Central
Committee to investigate the said reports, and
if ascertained to be well founded, they forlb
with remove such persons aDd replace them
by reliable men.
Several Relocates advocated the adoption of
the substitute of Mr. Lloyl
A Delegate from the Third Ward said that
he represented the entire feeling in bis local
ity, when he asserted that a ticket containing
any other name than that of a thorough Am
erican, would not be supported.
The substitute was adopted by a unanimous
vote, and amid much applause.
In this region, whatever of JFillmoreism at
any one trme existed, has been completely
" crushed out," and is now a sickly argument
of Black Republicanism.
Who is Responsible? The New York
Herald. Fremont's home organ , puts the re
sponsibility where it belongs. It says :
The factious proccedines of the republican
party to defeat the army, bill creates great ex
citement hero. Some say the President shou'd
take the mony and pay the army The dem
ocrats asked for a continuance of the session
for two hours to try and agree upon the army
bill, but the republicans refused it Many
other bills were defeated by this action.
