THE LAST EFFORT"
The Know-Nothings and Black Republi
cans held a meeting in the Court House last
night It was their last spasmodic effort be
fore the October election, and as such deserves
x parsing notice.
As by reason of the fair, there was a large
crowd of people iu town, yet the Court House
was not over half full, and the most of the
persons present at ere Democrats, who were
curious to sco what nw tramp tho opposition
were about to turn up.
Although the meeting was intended as a
Republican meeting, yet nearly all the officers
were well known Know-Nothings There
was that venerable fossil, Alexander M'Yick
er, who was dug up from political oblivion to
preside over the meeting; we need not tell
our readers anything about his position.
Among tho ice Presidents were T. Davis of
Jacksou, John Holder of Summerhill, well
known as Know-Nothings, among the Secre
taries, were E. F. Lytle, President of the
Know-Nothing conrention last fall, and E. I).
Evaus and the astonishing Tommy Jones, all
notorious K-Ns.
It having been discovered that Dr. Smith
of Virginia " could not preserve the county,
Mr. R. B. M'Combs of Lawrence had . been
sent for by the K. N. Leaders to come and
Save their secret soul from mighty fear
From Cambria' curse, from Cambria's tear."
Mr. .M'Combs is a cautious, careful man not j
snarp, aim -was not any talent, worth speaking
f. Hi hobby was tLe ghost of the olj Por
tage Rail Road. He dug it up, and endeavor
ed to arm it with new terrors, but to no avail.
He was much embarrassed by the waut of en
thusiasm among his party here, and evident
ly a,tonrshed at the ipirit effecting our
organization. He endeavored to give a fw
ehiieks for Kansas, but his remarks fell so
Jead, were received with isuch chilling rilence
by the audience, that he was obliged to give
it up in despair. 3Ir. M'Combs effort was
it able or effective, we will admit ihat ho is
in earnest, and think- tint he U doiug right.
He is a respectable man. whose character is
j esteemed in Pennpylvania, and had the meet-
ing closed with his Fpeecb, it would have been
creditable enough for a Fremont meeting.-
Mr. M'Combs, however, had not indulged in
low, scurrilous personal abuse, and according
ly "Dr. Smith of Virginia" was called up
to gratify the depraved appetites of that por
tion of the K-N party who exult in black
guardism. This Smith is a sort of mangy
cur, who Las been yelpiug arouud here for
the last few days, to the great annoyance of
of all orderly citizens, and even of the decent
portion of the Frcinontcrs.
He denied that he had made the expression
referred to in our last paper viz: that tho
I time was fi ft approaching when it would bo
necessary for the people of the north, to form
j an alliunce with Great Britain, to protect
j themselves from the aggressions of the South."
Now we have the word of Michael M'Cague,
' that Smith did make that expression in Black-
lick township, at the Fremont meeting there.
We can procure Mr. M'Cague's affidavit to
thr fact, but it is not necessary. No man's
character for truth and honesty is higher in
our community than that of Michael M'Cague
and wc ere much mistaken if his xcord would
not be taken by our citizens in preference to
tha oath of Dr. Smith of Virginia."
After having thus proved to tho satisfaction
of the audience that be was a common liar,
Smith attempted to spew his filth over our best
citizens: he called the people of Cambria
county 4c7owyA facet" attacked the mem
bers of the bar here, raved, ranted, and tore.
He made a pitch at the 44 Democrat and Sen
tinel" called us an ; 8x10," spoke of the
" Jakcy," an institution with which ho seems
to have been connected. The audience final
ly slipped away, each man ashamed to have
been witness to euch exhibition. Smith
j would like to get up a controversy with us
it will not win ; when we want a fight, we
tako somebody of our size, and we have a
disguat to meddling with dirty subjects. If
the Fremonters have made any capital out of
this last chapter they cau put it in their eye.
Our Speakers-Honor to whom Honor is due.
Now that the most stirring campaign that
our county has ever witnessed, is about draw
ing to a brilliant and victorious close, it is
but right and just, that mention should be
made of tho names that have contributed to
the result that it so easy to foresee. We do
so now, before that the contest is decided, in
order that the public and the party may take
note of the mention about to be made, and
that the names may not bo forgotten in the
shouts and hurrahs of victory.
W e are confident that the rleetion returns
of next Tuesday, will show that the canvass
hasbcea as well managed in Cambria county
as in any other county in the Stat. We are
confident that those returns will show stead
ier vote, and a greater ratio of incroase than
in any other couuty. We do not believe
that any county will be able to take from us
the banner offered by the Kystouo Club of
Philadelphia
Unless that we arc much deceived, the re
sult iu Cambria county will be glorious far be
yond public expectation. That result willbc
due to the efforts of the speakers, whose
voices have been beard at all points during
the campaign. Among those speakers, cour
tesy unquestionably assigns the place of hon
or to the old lino Whigs. They generously
forgot ancient differences, to unite with their
former political opponents, iu defence of the
common country unX the common liberty.
At an early period of the campaign, Mr.
Magellan gave us his adhesion to the Demo
cratic nominees ; his letters and speeches have
had much influence. Since that time, M s-rs
Barnes, Johnston, Fenlon and MeCormick
have been active for the cause of the Union :
Their telling blows have caused the baseless
fabric of the disunionists to totter. Their
course has been bold and manly.
Among the Democrats, there are Pcrbhin",
M'Donald, George N. Smith and IJeyer who
arc candidate, and Wm. A. Smith, Jno. S.
Rhey, Messrs. C. D. and W. A. Murray, and
others, who have shown that they were always
. v uu oic io ueienu our principles and
our candidates, and keep the lists against all
comers and goers.

already spoken.
These men, whose names we have thus pla
ced on record, are our own citizens. They
live here, belong to our county, most of them
were born and brought up within iti limits ;
they contributed to its welfare, its good name
and ite prosperity. Our people know them,
admire them, love them, aad are proud that
Cambria has so brilliant an array of talented
sons to present. In the battle which has
been fought, Cambrians have borne the brunt
of the fight; their own efforts have cairied
them through, without assistance, even from
the fetatc Committee. It is true that Col.
Crcsswell, our Senator, and Gen. Foster, Mr
Stokes, Col. M'Dowcll, Gen. Wilson, and
others, have spoken frequently, and alwav.
with effect iu Cambria, lut we ca. almos
claim them; they are identified with our people
ifceir faces are faniili,, in our midst; our peJ
pk often entrust their most important business
to them ; ,we therefore look upon them as of
ourselvea.
We have thought that it would be right and
just to note this matter at thi.time. We want
no capital made at the expense of our citizens
w.icn the credit is due to them.
To the Polls To the Polish
For the lat time, we call upon our friends in
all section ef the county, to devote all their
time and their energies between this and the
election, to the success of the glorious cause
in which wo are ecgaged The opposition
present a aolid front in support of the mon
grel State ticket ; they are governed by one
common feeling, and that U, opposition to
Buchanan. 'It is our duty to defeat them on
next Tucsdav, and to show that we love the
Union and will protect and perpetuate it. Let
there be a generous rivalry among our friends
in all the townships and election districts ; the
Talne of one vote cannot be too highly esti
mated and the democrat who neglects to cast
his vote is guilty of political treason. Go to
work then in earnest ; spend one day for your
country ; see that every voter is at the polls
and votes the entire ticket ; do this and you
will have performed your duty; uneasy will
lie th head next Tuesday night that neglects
it.
FRIENDS OF BUCHANAN AND THE
UNION.
On next Tuesday, the democracy of Cam
bria county will be called upon to discharge a
most important and responsible duty. It is
no ordinary political contest, but one fraught
with weal or woe to the best interests of the
people. Pennsylvania occupies ah enviable
position and her voice as proclaimed through
the ballot-box, will be powerful for good or
evil. Her own honored ron is the standard
bearer of the democratic forces nobly docs
he bear our banuer aloft, the pride and honor
of his followers, the terror of Lis foea. Let
us rally around him, with one miud aud one
heart, and scatter to the wiuds the enemies of
the Constitution and the Uniou. Let Cam
bria speak in a voice of thunder and aid in
resolutely maintaining the proud position of
j our State as the Keystoue of the federal arch,
j To achieve a victory, we have only to will it ;
our cause is just and it only requires that our
efforts should eorreppond with the firmness of
our faith. Let there be no such word as
fail; let every voter go to the polls and fight
the battle as though the victory depended on
his individual vote. Let ench man vot as
though the result in Pennsylvania, depended
ou his own vote and the istue camiot be doubt

If there is a mar in Cambria county who
hates and detests Kn iw Nothingism, let hitn
vote against this high priest of the midnight
order. Let ho nnturalized citizen die-grace
himself by aiding ia the re-ehctioa of a man,
who, if he had the j owcr, would deprive hiiu
of his dearest political rights and brand him
as a political felon. He is unworthy of thwir
support, and wc hope they will make such an
example of him as will tenify all such politi
mouatebinks from trifling with their rights
hereafter. Send him back to Lis midnight
cavern, from which he has 'recently emerged,
there to resume his work of treason to the
Constitution aud destruction to your rights.

"DR. SMITH OF VIRGINIA, IN
JACKSON."
This beautiful speciaieu of all the decency,
went out to Jackson township, on laai Sun
day night aud inado a Froniout speech there :
So disgusted were those who hca;d him with
his filthy ravings, that four citizens who
have up to this time opposed us, declared
that they could not stand such doctrine, and
wouiu uencetortli support the whole Demo
cratic ticket! Could not Dr Smith of Vir
ginia be iuduced to go back to Jackson ?
Have the Republicans no sense of shame?
They claim to have all the decency, all the
morality, all the religion, and yet they will
permit the Sabbath day to bo thus desecrated
by such scandalous vagabonds. Is it any
wonder that reflecting people, who were I urn
bugged by their yells for Freedom aud prom
ises of reform, arc leaving them in crowds ?
KANSAS MARTlriW "WANTED!
Conversing the othor day with a prominent
Freinonter in this town, wc asked his opiuion
on the isms involved iu the canvass. He re
plied that "the whole thing was Kansas,
Kansas," and if the pro-slavery men would
kill a few free State men before the election,
that Fremont's election would be sure.
Now gentlemen, here is a chance to join
the noble army of martyrs. Why do not
some of you rush out to bleeding Kansas, and
have yourselves immolated on the Fremont
altar ?
'TOMMY' JONES OF JACKSON."
A rich thing occurred at the Know Noth
ing meeting last night iu the Court House.'
Pending the organization, the inimitable
Thomas Jones, of Jackson township, discov
ered that Lis merits were not properly appre
ciated. Whereupon, Mr. Jones rose in hie
place and said: 44Mr. President; there is a
dispute in this town, and to nettle it I more
that Tommy Joucs of Jacksou be Secretary of
this meeting?" The crowd
the facetious Jonos was then and there elected,
to the-annfjanee of "allthe decency ' !
"DR. SMITH OF.VIR INIA."
We do not quarrel with tho Frotnont men
at out the manner iu which they inanago their
matters They have a right to do that in
their own way. Their own candidates, Edie
and Mullin, not bcins able or willioj? to talce
their own parts, it was well to bring men of
some reputation like Mr. Blair, Mr. Cowan,
or Mr. M'Combs, here to try and help them.
No body could object to decent men like those,
but when irien HRe Smith are played out upon
us, the nostrils of tho public will take offence.
What are the facts in regard to the conduct
of the cainpuigu ? On our tide, the speakers
have been men who belong to our county,
"who are bone of our bone, and flesh of our
fiesh." Mea known to the people, and re
spected by them. Wc have not hunted up
vagabonds just spewed ous of jail, to come
here and defame our citizens and preach dis
union aud British alliance. Our opponents,
however, have seen fit to take sctch a character
tinder their protection Wo havi already
adverted to their pet, who figures as Doctor
Smith, and Who has been trying to make the
people think that he had the welfare of Free
dom under his charge God help her from
such Doctors !
The Doctor's operations oa Wednesday
night, seem to have satisfied our opponents,
that it would be much safer to have a pet
skunk iu tow. than the odoriferous "Doctor
Smith of Virginia." We are pleased to see
that they are t'ued of him, but we cannot ad
mit the validity of the excuse which they offer
for his conduct. They charge that the Dem-
j ocrat succeeded in pouring too much whis
j key into the Thtor. This we deny. Rot
i gut aud the Doctor are o!d acquaintances ;
they know how to get together without the
intervention of Democrats.

This notorious political cut-throat who has

HUZZA FOR MUNSTEKr
1 he gallant democracy of Munster turned
out in their strength on Thursday, October
d, and although the notice of the meeting
was short fn..nl1.it..l T1
was short, it was well attended. Dclezatiots
were present from Ebemsburg. Loretto, Suai
nntville and Hemlock, and the meeting was
enlivened by the martial music-from Ebens
burg and Lomto. A fine hickory pole was
raised upon the occasion, from which floats
streamers and a flag with the names of our na

NO FREMONT ELECTORAL TICKET!
The Fremont men attempted to make an
electoral ticket iu Harrisburg on Tuesday
last, but were obliged te give it up.
Wa3 ever a more outrageous deception, a
more glaring cheat, attempted to be palmed
off Upou a people ? Every day we hear men
brawling for Fremont aud Freedom, and yt
they have no electoral ticket in the field. -
How can tb?y Vote for Fremont without a
tivkEt: or do they intend to co over, bair an-1
i baggage to Fillmore, and vote the Fillmore'
electoral ticket ? There are doubtlos men irl

COL. BENTON and COL FREMONT.
It is reported that jut after CoL Fremont
was uominatsd for the Presidency, Col. Ben
ton aid that 'Fremont w as no more fit to be
President of the United States than a child,
that he was bold and adventurous, but that
the cautiou ud prudence so much requirod iu
that position was no part of his nature ; that
Fremont had no experience, and that no lnau
whose antecedents were like those of Fremont'
could be qualified to be President of the Uni
ted States.' Ou being asked whether Fre
mont would accept tho Republican nomina
tion. Col. Benton answered that he presumed
he would do so that ' ambitious young nieir
weri apt to do a great many shallow thing."
Iu a letter addressed to the St. Jxmis Dem
ocrat, withdrawing tho other Electoral ticket,
and thereby consolidating the Democratic vote
of the State upou Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Bent
on says :
There is a desigu here on tho part of some
to pat up an electoral ticket fcr Fremont
about which no onc speaks to me, as I have
character enough to keep at a distance all that
class of persons who dishouoiable themselves,
could approach a man with a dishonorable?
proposition But my sentiments are knoirn,
that I should consider such a etep as injurioa
uuder every aspect mortifying to Fremont
himself from tho small vote which the ticket
would receive and injurious to the public,
bj aggravating the sectional feeling which
now arrays each half of the Union against th
other. I was opposing the bringing out of
Fremont, for nearly half a year before thos
who chargo me with promoting it knew of
any such design. There are cases in which
public duty rises above personal consideration.
OUR CREED.
The Democratic party, as a .national party,
neitheT defends slavery, nor goes out into a
crusade against slavery. It lets it alone. It
favors the policy of allowing it to bo settled by
the people of States aud Territoriei ; and of
aubjecting both, in this repj ect, re the provis
ions of the Cottitituticu.
