HON. HENRY D. FOSTER.
The Bedford County Sleeting.
Wo Lave read the proceedings of a Demo-
cratio County Meeting, which was held at
Bedford, on Monday, the l)th inst. Tue res
olutions adopted at the meeting, are prefaced
with an address as long as the moral law. "
The first part of the address, is a mere reca
pitulation of the questions which were decided
in tho late Presidential campaign, and to all
of which we heartily subscribe Tho author
of the address, next proceeds to r peak of the
recent U. S. Senatorial election, and denoun
ces in unmeasured but richly merited terms,
th three traitors, Lebo, Wagonscller and
Manear. Referring to the course pursued by
Henry D. Foster and his friends, in connec
tion with the election of Senator, the following
paragraph occurs :
' ' The conduct of these meu is in no way
palliated by the fact that their candidate was
a man of talent or one qualified to fill the
place nor by the fact that he had twice re
ceived our votes for a seat in Congress nor
bj tho fact that only last year both our mem
bers supported him in caucus for the same po
sition nor by the fact that he and his friends
entertained the vain hope that their adversa
ries would eventually unite upon him to de
feat the Democratic nominee."
Tho last sentence of the foregoing para
graph, contains a false and malicious imputa
tion against Henry D. Foster. Every one
who kuows Gen. Foster, will acquit him of
bo grave and serious a charge, no matter by
whom it may be preferred Such is not his
character, nor is such the stuff of which he is
nude. High minded and honorable as he is
universally known to be, he scorns anything
like deception or trickery, and would be the
very last man in Pennsylvania, to lend him
self to such a base and disreputable purpose,
as is attributed to him in the foregoing ex
tract. The very reverse of the unfounded ac
cusation is the truth. The idea was sugges
ted by certain members of the opposition, that
they might .eventually cast their votes for
Gen. Foster and that they, together with
Gen. Foster's friends, would elect him. The
very moment that such a contingency came
Gen. Foster's ears, true to tho noble in
stincts of his nature, and ever mindful of his
devotion to hia glorious constituency, as well
as to hia partr, he emphatically and openly
declared, that neither he nor his friends, would
iivi Man lucir vuicb iur au ..'vnu-DUCuanan
candidate, and that if he were elected by a
Union of the Republicans and the Western
Democratic members, who had Eiood by him,
he would resign the offico the very moment
the Speaker of the Convention announced the
result. ThU is what Henry D. Foster did
say ; it is just what he would be expected to
say, by those who know the man. To impute
to him, therefore, the base and unmanly mo
tive of attempting to form, or even permitting
to be formed with his knowledge and consent,
a coalition with the Republican party, for the
purpose of securing his own election, and thus
defeating the democratic nominee, is a foul
slander upon his fair reputation, both as a
man and a politician. If the author of tbe
address, who was in Harrisburg at the time,
can sustain the charge, which ho has seen
proper to prefer against Gen Foster, we call
upon hiin to do so if he cannot, let him like
a gentleman retract it, so that the bane and
the antidote, may go before the people to
gether. Amongst the resolutions adopted by the
meeting, were the two following :
Resolved, That we feci particularly con
strained to condemn the course of O NEL
SON SMITH, His conduct in regard to the
election was sufficiently offensive to his con
stituents his Protest was more so, and his
letters and editorials villifying Gen. Bowman
and other good Democrats arc adding insult
to injury, and proves that he feels the neces
sity of avoiding the true question and with
drawing the attention of the people from the
true issue by a vain effort to raise false ones.
Resolved. That we will not hold the De
mocracy of Cambria county responsible foi
the insane resolutions adopted by Know Noth
ings, Black Republicans, and a few disap
pointed acd reckless Democrats at Johnstown
and Ebensburg.
It is false that G. Nelson Smith, ever at
tacked George W. Bowman, until ho was
compelled to do so in self defence. Bowman
denounced Smith as a traitor," with 4 pol
luted feet," and applied to him many other
opprobrious epithets. Was it to be supposed,
that Mr. Smith would remain passive under
such vile and unmerited abuse, and that the
fierce denunciations, of even so redoubtable a
General, as George W. Bowman, shou'd be
scattered broad cast overlhe State, unrebuked
and unanswer.d ? Mr. Smith acted on the
defensive, as he was bound to do, and his
constituents in Cambria county, with one
voioe, have endorsed and sustained him.
The allegation coutaitied in the eecond re
solution, that the meeting held in Ebensburg.
on the 31st J anuary, was composed of " Know
Nothings, Black Republicans and disappoin
ted and reckless democrats," is simply ridicu
lous. ,We say to the author of the address
and resolutions, that the meeting held in this
place, was the most harmonious assemblage of
the democracy, that has ever taken place in
Cambria county. Although a severe snow
storm occurred on the night previous to the
day of meeting, which rendered the roads al
most impassable, it did not prevent the un
terrified democrats of the mountain, from
fearlessiy coming up to the work. Many of
the most active and efficient members of the
party were present at the meeting, and took
an active part in its proceedings We need
not refer to them by name. We also know
of more than a score of the very best demo
crats in the county, who were in town during
the week, who called upon us and stated, that
inasmuch as they could not possibly be pres
ent at the meeting, authorized the full use of
their names, for the purpose of promoting the
At whit-h is was called Tn wnrJ
it was composed of leading democrats and old
line whigs, who by their untiring efforts du
ring the Presidential campaign, gav3 Cam
bria county, " a local habitation and a name;'
men, who aided and aesisted in giving Buch
anan and Breckinridge, the unprecedented
majority of 1215 ! ! over the combined vote of
the opposition, and by unanimous consent,
gained for our small but glorious county, the
proud appellation of The Star of the West
The meeting was neither controlled by "Know
Nothings," nor by 4 Black Republicans."
The democracy of Cambria have buried both
these factions in the same political grave.
Nor were there any disappointed demo
crats" present. The democracy of Cambria,
are not now and never were, remarkable for
" a wild hunt after office." Whether there
were any ' reckless" democrats present at the
meeting, we will leave their acts to decide.
They are perfectly willing to assume the re
sponsibility ; they have heretofore known
what was their duty, and have generally per
formed it, to the entire satisfaction both of
themselves and the democracy of the State.
Wheuever they are assaulted, through their
Representative, whose course they endorse,
they will not tamely submit, but will return
blow for blow. They know their rights, and
knowing dare maintain them.
The Standard.
It seems the Democrats of Cambria county
have given umbrage to the Hollidaysburg
Standard, in permitting those who have only
been democrats two or three years to attend
their meetings, and take part in their proced
ings. lie does not understand our position
up here in Cambria. For the last two years
we have been inviting " Old Line Whigs" to
come over to us, and they have come by scores,
and by hundreds. Yet notwithstanding these
accessions, since we have only increased our
majority to some 1400 votes, we do not feel
the least crowded, and are willing that the
old whigs who have seen the error of their
ways, should remain with us, and act with
us.
Now , in Blair county tho case is quite dif
ferent The liberality of the Standard, and
the Swiss Guard who surround it, has been
such, that tho ranks of the democracy in that
county have become so crowded, that it is re
ally inconvenient to have any fresh converts.
And this overgrown strength of the party in
Blair county, has no doubt suggested the idea
of a 21 year law in politics ; that no man who
emigrates into the democratic ranks, shall at
tend a meeting of the party, until he has been
21 years a member. This, we doubt not,
would be a good idea in Blair county ; and
whenever the democratic vote iu Cambria is
as large as we want it, wo shall adopt the
same course.
But Fenlon, Magchan and Johnston did
not control the meeting. The gray haired
democrats of the county were ihere. The
M'Donalds, the Myers', the Durtins, the
Burks, tho Porters, the Adams, the Collins',
the Douglass were there ! In brief, the peo
ple were there in all their strength, and what
is more, tLat vast assemblage spoke as with a
single voice. It was not composed of a de
funct club, or a Post office clique ; its pro
ceedings were not dictated by th3 who hav
ing just lost hold of the Commonwealth teat,
are nosing the national udder. And the
cool presumption" of these veterans may be
rebuked, when the democratic party here
looms up to the importance it has reached in
Blair county but not till then.
It may comport with the "usages of tie
party" to consider the least doubt in regard
to the Infalibility of the President elect on
any question of politics and morals, and at the
same time, in the same columns, to abuse the
democracy of the State through the Canal
Board, aa the Standard dees ; if the usages
of the party require sycophantic adulation of
the President, and gross abuse of the Canal
Commissioners both equally the creatures of
the democrrtic party then we can acknowl
edge the Standard to be a sound exponent of
the " usages of the party."
Rewabd Offered. The Governor of Penn
sylvauia has offered a reward of $500 for the
ai rest of the murderer of Norcross, who met
uisueatn on January lGth. near Altoona, on
the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The
Pittsburg Dispatch elates that tho supposed
criminal is not named M'Kinney ; but as he
registered himself in that city, M'Kim that
he belongs to Wilmington, Delaware, and is
well known to the police of that city, and
other places in the East.

The Usury Laws Wo are glad to see
that in several of the States strong efforts are
made, and with some prospect of success, to
repeal the usury laws. New York, Rhode
Island, Iowa and Wisconsin, will probably
soon bo rid of the old time absurdity, and
leave the price of money like other commodi
ty to be regulated by the relations of demand
and supply. If there were no other reasons
la favor of a repeal, the fact that such laws
are never enforced, and never can be, is rea
son enough why they should be swept from
the statute books. Laws that cannot be en
forced, and are constantly violated are an in

Communication.
Fur the Democrat t- Scntiuel.
Messrs. Editors : About two weeks since
a bill was read"in the House of Representa
tives, by our member, Mr. Smith, entitled
" An Act to create an additional Court in
Cambria County." It was referred to the
J udiciary Committee, and was subsequently
reported by that committee, with a negativo
r co-nnunlat'on, which, I presume, disposes
of the matter, at least during the present ses
sion. I understand that the members of the
Johnstown Bar, and perhaps others, charge
that the members of the Ebensburg Bar, exer
ted themselves to procure the defeat of the bill
referred to. This Is entirely a mistake.
There is not a member of the Bar of this
place, who knew anything about the Bill,
until after it was read by Mr. Smith, and all
that any one of them did, was merely to
write to Mr. Smith for a copy of it, in order
that it might be known what it contained.
Before, or about the time the letter reached
Harrisburg, the Committee had acted on it.
and as I stated, reported adversely. There
was to remors ranee sent from this place
against the passage of the bill, for the simple
reason, that no person here knew what its
provisions were, and of course could not,
with any degree of certainty, know what to
remonstrate against. I have recently seen
a printed copy of the Bill, and consider it a
very lame and impotent affair. Such a Bill
never could and never ought to pas3 the Leg
islature, either for this or anv other count.
But, as it is a dead cock in the pit, it is use
less to pursue the subject. . X.

Upon the above aggregate, the Represen
tatives will be aj portioned in the ratio of one
to every 5,970 taxables, and the Senators
(deducting Philadelphia) in the ratio of one
to every 17,010 taxables. Philadelphia will
thus gain two Representatives, but lose, in
consequence of consolidation, one Senator,
under a provision of the Constitution, which
says that no city or county shall at any time
be entitled to more than four Senators Al
legheny and Lancaster will each hold their
present representation of five members each.
Luzerne and SehuylkiH will each gain one.
Of course, some other counties or districts
must lose what these counties gain.

Printers Asylum.
Fo r seme time past the members of the craft
typographical in this city have been agitating
a proposition to establish an asylum for super
annuated printers, aud the widows and or
phans of deceased printers Other institutions
of a charitable aud benevolent character ap
peal to the sympathies of so many classes as
easily to procure the means of support from a
liberal public. But one like this, devoted ex
clusively to a particular trade, might at first,
seem to be restricted in its quarry. Never
theless, all branches of the profession Lave
manifested so much interest in the project,
and evinced so geueral a desire to contribute
in its aid, that we feel assured its success is
by no means impossible. It is gratifying to
find the employers of largest means and high
est standing loading in this praiseworthy move
ment, for it shows the spirit which prevails
among the members of the profession. They
seem to feel that in misfortune there is a gen
uine democracy The decayed or unfortunate
employer is as apt to need relief as the journey
men whom he was wont to give work to, and
the widows and- orphans of the one must be
cared for like those of the other. The Phil
adelphia Typographical Society, at a meeting
held last Sctarday evening, approved of the
undertaking, and appointed the following com
mittee to take the initiative in the matter :
Jesse R. Ferguson, Wm. C. Kelley. T. K.
Collins, R P. King, Wm. II Jones, Thomas
McKellar, James Montgomery, Benj Mifflin,
Charles Brigham.
Milaxo, who attempted to kill the anointed
King of Naples, suffered such horrid punish

He was stripped, bound hand and foot, and

was tormented in this position for two hours,
burning w'ups of straw being held under his
head. Ho was also bound aud hung up by
the cars ; and the ground beneath him was
covered with burning coals, bo that with his
bare feet he could not stand He was also
tortured with alternate applications of cold and
boiling water, and his shoulder bones were
pulled out of joint with ropes tied to the arms.
Lastly, he was scourged, and those who saw
his naked body declare that the akin wa3
blackened, with gretfn and yellow marks up
on it, hidcou3 to behold.
RcT'5 S KeJ. lte cditoi of

attempt to commit rape, but the jury returned
a verdict' of not guilty. It was but a year
ago that he made himself notorious by his
slanderous charges against clergymen not on
ly of his own but of other denominations, but,
we presume, he can now indulge in a little
sympathy for the frailties of poor hnman na
ture He is an object of pity.
