By referring to another column, tho procoe- j

Chair appointed as the committee on Resolu
tions to express the sense of ihe convention.
John S Rhey, R. L, Johnson, John Fenlon.
M. M. Adams, Richard White, James Ruik,
and James Myer3.
Pending the absence of the committee, the
convention was addressed by M D. Magellan,
Esq., and Gen. Jos. McDonald, in speeches
characterized by enthusiastic eloqu?ncc.
The committee then returned and reported
the following Pro amble and Resolutions,
which on motion of John S. Rhey, were
wcro unanimously and enthusiastically adopt
ed as the csprestiou tf the feeling cf ihe
Democracy of Cambria county.
The Democratic Party of Cambria couMy
in Mass Meeting assembled, claim tho same
right to a candid expression, of their Lonest
convictions, that is accorded to Democrats
elsewhere and everywhere. They have wit
nessed " more in sorrow than in anger," a
frystemstic cttack cn GiD. Henry P. Foster
and bis fricnls. which if pcrii.-ti.d in, must
lead to the most disastrous ccr.scqncr.ee; ful
ly impressed with this belief they have come
together to rretcst aainst this vindictive:
pbreuM-, on. I to stay if possible this madness
of TacticD, which would sacrifice tho truest
tnd purest Pur.ocrr.ts cf Wcrtern Pennsylva
nia. Gen. Foster h?.s for many years been a fa
vorite with the Democracy of our county
Th ere is no man outside cf her borders fo
whom her people have so great an affection'
the purity cf his political principles ; bis emi
nent legal attainments ; the frankness cf his
manners; his generosity of heart; his amiabil
ity of temper; have endeared him to our peo
ple. He was our choice for United State Sena
tor; yet tho' we considered him pre-eminently
qualified for that distinction, wc knew the
people of other portions of Pennsylvania had
alio their favoiites, and if Gen. Foster had
been defeated in a caucus fairly held, in the
abscence ot all undue inGucnccs, we should
feel calied upon to denounce all who refused
to eanction the action of that caucus. Rut
that caucus at which John W. Forney was
nominated for United State Senator, was not
fairly held and unduo influences were brought
:o Dear upon its deliberations. The chief
dbpencer of power and patronage iu tho Uni
ted States, signified his preference, and the
caucus l ad only to record that prefejence,
and not tho will of their constituents A cau
cus so constituted, so held, and ro influenced,
whosoever might compose it, cculd not repre
sent the perple, end os the people are the
source of ell power, their Representatives
were perfectly justifiable in refusing to par
ticIpn!o iu its proceedings cr m-rort its noiu-
jce. Therefore .
Resolved, That the Democracy of Cambria
repoao un i uited osnfiVe ice in ie ability
and integrity of. James Ruchanan. That wc
look forward with confident pride to his ad
ministration of the affairs of the general Gov
ernment: believing that he will fearlessly
sustain tho honor of his country, as he has
heretofore done, both at home and a broad,
and that as the President of the Republic, he
will more than realize the most Eanguine ex
pectations of his friends.
Resolved, That we hereby sustain and en
dorse the course of our Representative George
N. Smith, and our Senator John Cresswe'.l Jr.,
in their refusal to attend the caucus, to nomi
nate a candidate for United States Senator,
iknd we assign the following reason for cur
full and entire approval of their conduct, viz :
That the personal solicitation and influence of
the President elect were unfortunately and as
we think unwisely brought to bear, in favor
of the nomination of a special and particular
candidate, thus rendering the contest alto
gether one s:ded and unequal ! that such so
licitations and influences interfered witii
and prevented a free and independent expres
sion of opinioD, on the part of the democratic
members of the Legislature, and especially
compromised the claims of the friends of
Henry P. Foster.
Resulted, That wo deny tho right of Mr.
Buchanan, thus ; officially to interfere in
the settlement of so'delicate and important a
question : and by indicating as he did in his
letter to Henry S. Mott, the President of the
board of Canal Commissioners the man of his
choice, however worthy he may be, secure his
nomination to the entire exclusion of all other
candidates; that the law has wisely and prop
erly conferred on the members of the Legis
lature the unreserved right cf electing mem
bers of the United States Senate ; and that
any interference w ith a full and free exercise
of that right is an invasion of perfect Legis
lative independence to which the Democracy
of Cambria will ncversubmit; and that we here
by endorse and approve the following doctrine
as announced by Mr. Uucbauan in his letter
to the Democratic members cf the Pennsylva
nia Legislature, dated 31st of March 1845,
which is as follows " Jealousy of Federal in
ti rfc; 3cc ar.d Federal influence in State elec
tions, has ever been, and I trust ever may
be a prevailing sentiment throughout the
Democratic part-; and if in the new oincial
position which I now hold, I were to pass sen
tence against these Democratic members who
voted for another Democrat instead of the cau
cus nominee, I might justly be asked, who
made mc a ruler or a judge in this matter V
Resulted, Tint tho eight protesting mem
bers of the Legislature who despised prospect
of place, power and pre ferment wh ere it in
terfered with their duty to their constituants,
aro deserving of the warmest thanks, ar.d
their names shall be held in grateful remem
brance w hen the parasites of power shall bo
forgotten.
Resile J, That the bitter and vindictive
assaults made upon cur Rcpmsentive George
N Smith, and our Senator John Cresswcil
Jr., by the Keystone Club" "The Redford
Gazette" and the " National Hickory Club of
Ilollidaysburg, meet with our urquahUed
indignation and contempt: and that under
the peculiar circumstances bywbieh Messrs.
Cresswell and Smith wcro surrounded, the-
fakhfully and honestly carried out the well
known and often expressed wishes of their
Cambria county constituants.
Resched, That the Democracy of Cambria
look with scorn upon tho cowardly attempts
of the J'enusilruntan newspaper to injure
Gen. Fester and his friends. Wo consider
tho course cf that paper to be unwise and
impolitic, and we refuse to acknowledge it a?
the Dictator of the party.
Resolied, Thr.t wc are no sunshine friends
of Gen. Foster, and while we know the puri
ty of his principles, and the iutegrily of his
character, to be above Euspicion, wc shall
sustain him against every attack, whether
from open or concealed foes ; whether made
by defunct clubs cr seedy politicians ; by the
purchases of the living, or the slanderers cf
of the deal e endorse his course in man
fully refusing to attend the Caucus to nomi
nate a candidate for U. 8. Setiator, because
before it met, the decree ha I already cjjl-iul-
ly gone forth that he thculd be saeraGced.
red. That the conduct of those friends
of Mr. Forney, who, after voting for Mm in
caucus, deserted Lim and elected Simon
Cameron, deserves the execration of honest
men of all parties ; and'clcarly proves that
those who can be allured from the interest of
the people, by the smiles cf power, arc not
proof against the charms cf " filthy lucre "
Jicsdetd, That as an additional proof of
ihe .be regard and esteem in which we
hoM-r Tary D. Foster, wc hereby request our
s.rtegiue, to the Democratic htate convention,
Henry A. Roggs, to nominate and vote for
Henry D. Foster as our first choice for Gov
ernor : and that in the event of his nomina
tion, tho people of Cambria county will en
dorse bim by a majority cf more than two
thousand votes.
Resolved, That the election of Simon Cam
eron to the United States Senate is a foul blot
upon the fair fame of our gallant State, and
so far from throwing tho Democratic columns
into confusion will only react in a tremendous
majority at our next general election.
Resdced , That inasmuch as the cv'esof
General George W. Rowman and ' the rettof
mankind" are upon us, we trust they will sec
by the fore going resolutions that we aie true
to ourselves, true to our Representatives, true
to our friends and true to the interests of the
ever living cause of Democracy.
Resolved, That we admire the manly spir
it of independence, which has characterised
the Democratic press of Cambria county, in
sustaining our people and the Representatives
against the calumnies of place seekers under
the incoming administration.
Resolved, That the Pcmocrats of Cambria
county do not recognize in the Redford Ga
zette any right to interogate them as to the
past, cor adviso them as to the future ; in as
much as the same paper on a former occasion
sold out their interests and their candidate for
the patronage of the Portage Rail Road
After the , adoption of the Resolutions, R.
L. Johnston Esq., addressed the meeting iu
his usual happy and graceful style, John S.

OLD WASHINGTON IN THE FIELD 1
Pursuant to previous notice, the Ruchan
an and Rreckinridgo Club of Washington
township met on Friday, January, 30th, at
the School House, in tho village of Hemlock.
In the absence of the President, Jacob Rur-
goon was unanimously called to the chair. On
motion, the Chair appointed Richard White,
John Scott, John Mullin, Lewis Casoiday,
Thomas Short, John O'Donnell aud John D.
Onslow, a committee to draft resolutions.
fter a brief absence, they returned and re
ported tho following resolutions, which oa
motion, were read separately, and each reso
lution was unanimously adopted.
Resolied, That we have confidence, in
James Buchanan; and in tho future, as in
the past, will yield him our ardent support.
Jiesolvca, Anat we deny in the broadest
terms, the right of the President of the Uni
ted States, to indicate or select an individual,
to represent a sovereign State, in the Senate
of the Union. The riht to select one Sena
tor implies the right to select both : and the
right to select the Senators from one State,
implies the right to select them from each of
the States composing our confederacy, and
thus unite the Legislative and Executive pow
ers of the government in one and the same
person : a result that is opposed to the sover
eignty of the States, the independence cf the
people, the whole s.chcme of our government,
ami the principles on which it is founded.
Res-Accd, Inasmuch as undue influences
were brought to bear upon the late caucus in
Ilarrisburg, in relation to the nomination of a
candidate for U. S. Senator, wc are convinced
that the eight Democratic members who decli
ned to participate iu its proceedings, were ac
tuated by the sincerest devotion to principle,
and by their action they sustained the riht
of the people to choose their own representa
tives. Resolved, That the course of our Senator,
Hon John Cresswell, and our Representative
George N. Smith, in abstaining from the cau
cus, and in voting for Henry D Foster, meets
our entire, absolute and hearty approbation.
Rcsdvcd, That we hurl back to the Key
stone Club, and the lied ford Gazette, the un
just and disgraceful slander's which they have
heaped upon our Representatives. Vil'ifica
tion from such sources, only goes to convince
us still further cf the integrity of cur Repre
sentatives. Resolved, That we regret the election of
Simon Cameron as a misfortune to our State,
and that those three friends of Mr. Forney's,
who deserted him aud elected Cameron ought
to be held infamous, and unworthy the confi
dence of American citizens.
Resolved, That the delegation from Wash
ington Township to the Mass Convention to
be held iu Ebenslurg on to-morrow, January
31st, be instructed to vote in convention to
sustain Heury D. Foster, John Cresswell, Jr.,
and George N. Smith, and to denounce the
Keystone Club and George W. Rowman
Resolved, Inasmuch S3 George W. Row
roan has abiiounced that ' the country U
looking to the Democracy cf Cambria,'' and
ha9 invited them "to come cut in township
meetings aud show what kind of stuff thoy
are made cf, what manner cf men thfy are';"
Wc think, seeing that his request has been
complied with, that one good turn deserves
another, and in order to gratify the lau lubl j
curiosity cf him, the sail George W. Row
man, do affectionately invite bim to pub
lish the proceedings of this Township meeting
iu his Redford Gazette.
After the unanimous adoption cf these res-
tdutions. the Club was addressed in an inter
esting manner by several gentlemen, aud then
adjourned to meet at the call cf the President
JACOR RUEGOON, Pres.
PTKR M'GOCGH, Se
From the Grtenabiug Democrat
George N. Smith and George W. Bo-wms.ii.
From the Redford Gazette, we copy th fol
lowing extracts from articles on the Senatori
al election. It says in one article :
"G. Nelson Smith, one of the representa
tives from our own district, is among the trai
tors, and will, whilst he lives, carry a mark
which will cause bim to be despised and shun
ned by every honest democrat in the district,
whose dearest interests he has trampled be
neath his polluted feet."
In another article it adds : .
" The traitors are Lcbo, Wagonseller, Me
near, Cresswell, Calhoun. Foster, Fausold,
Hill, G. N. SMITH, Nicholson, and Johns.
"The three first voted for Cameron direct;
"the others refused to go into coucus, and
"thus aided indirectly to do what they bad
"uot moral courage to do directlt.
"The threo who voted for
"Cameron are more honorable men than the
"cowardly ingratcs who courted issue, but
had not the moral courage to do the deed." j
We shall not attempt a reply to the insane
ravingsjof General George Washington 15ow
max, but shall content ourselves with institu
ting a comparison between bim and the man
he so glibly pronounces " traitor" and "cow
ardly ingrate." Comparisons are odious,
however, and nothing but the necessity of the
casocculd justify us in drawing lines of com
parison between Mr. Siiim and one so far be
low bim in all the essentials of manhood.
Following the precedent set by the Gazette
in publishing the names of Lebo and his com
peers before that cf Gen Foster and lm
friends, wc shall ppcak first of the fit brother
of the three traitors Rowman ere we come
to him " who has so manfully and nobly 6tood
up to rebuke tyranny and dictation.
Roth these men have seen somewhat of mil
itary life, and wo shall first make the compar
ison in that. The one is a broomstick soldier

Wasiuxgtox Rowman. At last war does
voujo, auu j. tuunania caas lor troops, aud
General Rowman responds with alacrity to
the call, (in a horn.) The life of a soldier no
longer possesses charms for him, and he re
turn9 to private life. At last tho war is over,
and with' the return of peace, there also re
turns to his heart a corresponding degree of
courage, nis heart warms with the recital
of heroic deeds, aad he pant s again fur the
wild excitement of thaui battle His panting it
not in vain, and we "again behold him, decked
in all the glittering paraphrenalia of a com
mander of the Pennsylvania militia. This cf
Gen. 'Rowman. Now what cf Georcz N.
Smith ?
Come with us to the State of Texa., at the
timo of the struggle with Mexico for her in
dependence. Perhnp.3 Gen. Rowman has
heard of that straggle ; perhaps ho has heard
of tho massacre of Texan at Alamo, by the
troops of Sar.ta Anna and also how that mas
sacre was revenged at Saa Jncir.to. If be
has not, wc shall endeavor to enlighten bim.
The forces cf Gmi. Sa:ta Anna nuniberel
1800 men, while the Texans numbered only
700. Early in the morning, the contending
armies drew near to give each other battle.
With the Texan.', ail their hope- lay in the
result cf that day. If they failed then, they
were conquered beyond redemption. At
length the enemy opened fire. The hail cf
Mexican bullets fell thick nd fast, and the
roar of Mexican cannon is succeeded by the
groans of the wounded and dying Texan-
Silently and slowly, but steadily and surely,
that little band cf brave men are creeping up
to the bread columns cf the f ewer of the'Mcx
ican army. Scarcely a word is spoken, and
not a gun has yet been fired by the Texar.s
Reserving their fire until within a few yards
of the cuemy, they pour iu a withering vol
ley. With wild shouts cf " Remember the
Alamo," they rush upon them. They have
no bayonets, and their guns are useless.
They are thrown away, and pistols take their
place are fired, and they too arc useless.
Then they drew th-ir bowie-knives. They
Cash, and Mexicans fall before thorn. It is
no child's play tht. There are r.o Hank c. r.
ridgos to frighten old women ai.d horsos. but
there are leaden mcs-engors of death and
long sharp lances cn the one side, and lla.-L-ins
bowio knives against them cn the olhcr.
It was a literal carving cf their way through
the dense masses cf the enemy. The Mexi
cans fought bravely Hundreds cf t hem f. 11
where first they ttood, but tie wild hcr.:;m
of that litile band could not bo withatool
With the ictor- of Sari Jacinto, the AI-u. o
was revenged and Teias was male five.
One of these men was there in tho thickest
of that Cgbf, but it was not Gen, Rowman.

which should animate tho soul certainly of

from Gen. Rowman to him who fought atSia

There is a vague rumor, that an effort will
