WEDNESDAY MORNING:::.::::::: .11 B. 25 Cumbria's First Choice For Governor. HON. HENRY D. FOSTER. Westmoreland in Anns! .We need not to call the attention of our readers to the proceeding of the Westmoreland County Democratic meeting : they arc in our columns to-day, and we know that they will be eagerly and gladly perused by the Democ racy of Cambria. The Democracy of Weetiuorelaud Lave spo ken like men who arc resolved and in earnest. Their resolutions breathe the true "Democratic fire! Their dignified, attitude will command the respect not only of Pennslvania,.but of the whole Tjuion. On btbslf of the constitu ency of George N- Smith, we thank West moreland for the zealous regard she hs shown for his reputation ; for her generous defence of him against slanders and falsehood, and for the stirring compliments paid to his honor, his integrity and his courage. It is a testi monial that never cau be forgotten by him or his children. The SuniEiiS Meeting-. Wc have been very much amused by the eagerness manifested by the " Bedford Ga zette" and "Ilollidaysburg Standard" in pub lishing a sett of resolutions purporting to have been passed by a Democratic meeting at the Summit ia this Cmntj. " Drowning men catch at straws" is an old aphorism and is fully illustrated iu tlm caso. A history of that uicet'ug and the causes which led to it will no, we hope, prove uninteresting to our readers. Immediately after the election cf U. S. Sena tor, the self constituted exponent of the prin ciples cf Democracy and would be immaculate editcr cf the " Gazette" reckoning without Lis host Dd falling into a most rcdiculous er Tor boldly called upon the Democrats cf Cam bria to "show the stuff of which they were made and what manner of men they were" b' f ubmitting to his dictation and tamely doing bis bidding. lie charged that the prcia was under the control of corrupt politicians and in order that the people of the State might knew what were the real feelings of the people in regard to tho course of our Representatives, he de tired a mass ; meeting to be assembled. The Chairman cf our county committee wishing to accomodate Mr. Bowman, as well as the rest of mankind, called a meeting and by that meeting, resolutions were parsed djLi ning in very explicit, direct and easily comprehended terms their position. This tve thought would bo a quietus. But alas ! the Democrats of Cambria Lai . forgottja to consult the " Standard" and government officials of Ilol lidaysburg in relation to what Democrats they should admit to a participation in the procee dings of even Democratic meeting?. Col ceqn'jntly the next issue of the Standard' containing the terrible announcement that tho Freemen of Cambria Lad been con trolled by newly mado and broken dowu Democrats. This was ro exceedingly rc ciculous, that cotsiderirg the source wheuce itemenated wc deemed it unworthy of a reply Tho government officer who pays well for concroliog the ' StanJard" saw once that te was sold. Having experienced a tdight downfall by Laving the bombastic aud es he imagined very sarcastic resolutions, which he tried to offer at a meeting iu Holi day sburg torn to pieces, before his eyes, by an 'older and better Democrat; and being rr huked by the Democracy of Cambria te turned to wards the Summit, in which village an uncle of his resides, and not following the advice of " never going to your relaiivcs when iu need" he wrote the resolutions and sent them to his mole, requesting him to hold a meeting and Live them passed. The uncle, as requested, called tba meeting, but the resolutions could not be passed A delegation fi&m the Sum mit had atteuded the County meeting, and en dorsed its proceedings, and they are the last men to do a thing one day and undo it tho next. They therefore, almost unanimously Bcgutivei the resolutions. They acknowledge dictation from no quarter they cant be con trolled by either bought newspapers nor post ofSco cleaks Thiejs a plain urivarnbucd history of the Sum mit meeting and of the resolutions which have been inserted 10 the "Gazette" and "Stan dard" under the caption of the " true voice of Cambria " When we Erst :iw the resolution: we thought they were manufactured by the lev icr of black mail fcr the " Standard." but in it r . . . . i n is we were mistcKc-n. Wo were certain no man could bo found in Cambria mean cuouh io indite them and ia this we were correct. Ye insert to day a communication signed ty tho officers cf the much talked of Sam mitviib meeting.. They contain a plain un varnished statement certiiied to by the Pres ldent, one of the Vice Presidents and one cf tho Secretaries. Inasmuch as the .Mandard HeJlidaysburg, and the Gazette, Red ford, vv.. j.a.ouu, me rcsoiuuous wnica were said to Lave been l,t- wc cow a.-k them to publish the certified state ment cfthc officers of the meeting.

Cr-j is tho sale cf the Stag's Internal Iii-prowme-ts Ebensburg Foundry. We happened the other day to walk into the Foundry of Edward Glass, & Co., and were much struck by tho beauty and finish of the castings of every description which we saw there. Messrs. Glars & Co., are prepared to furnish Stoves, Ploughs, Points and every description of agricultural and domestic cast ings. They melt the best and toughest metal that can begot in market; their moul ders are masters of their trade, and their terms tre exceedingly reasonable. We are triad to learn that tho- fucccss of Messrs. Glass & Co., has been equal to their merits and deserts, and we hope that our citizens will show that they understand the best in terests of our community by still continuing their liberal encoa; agement by Home Indus try. A Lie Nailed. Bowman savs, last week, that the proceed ings of a Democratic meeting held in Cam bria county, were forwarded to him by " : gentleman in whom there is no guile, am whose statements may be relied upon as cor rect." Now the statement forwarded by this j gentlemen, declares that the resolutions de nouncing Foster, Smith and Cresswcll, " were cr.thusiasticaUtj adopted. This statement is an urmiiigatcd LIE Tho " gentleman in whom there is no guile," must Lave known that he was fencing to Bowman a statement that was a barefaced falsehood ; and w now call upon Bowman for Lis name, that he may tc held up to the sccrn cf the community.

Messrs. White & Dcvine: Gentlemen : W? beg leave through your columns to set tho correspondent of the Daily Pennsyivaoian right, with regard to the pro ceedings of the Democratic meeting held here on the 10th inst. We were thero and true enough, just as he has it, officers of that meeting. It ii true that Mr. McCullough did report the resolutions j ublisbed in that paper. And very strange to say, that out of about one hun dred Democratic voters present, they only re ceived the support cf five individuals, all the rest being opposed to their passage. The consequence was that they did not pass Tha meeting then ou motion, adjourned with three cheers for Smith, Crcsswell and Foster, and three more for the good old cause of De mocracy. This meeting having been assembled, as it was, in pursuance of a call posted up the day before, for an indignation meeting for the pur pose of denouncing our Representatives aud Gen. Fester, for the course pursued by them in reference to the late senatorial election and Laving so completely tailed to answer its contemplated ends, it was not considered ne cessary to publish its proceedings. We had not dreamed of its breaking cut so fur from home. had previously reposed in them, Wo say God bless them for their integrity. - Our wives and children say God bless them tho Democratic party says God Hess them for they have done much to perpetuate her good old usagcs-ttie law ana ttic constitution says God bless tl em ; for they have donjs much to pre vent such an infringement upon their office as might in future place the eleeti6n-f Pennsyl vania Senators in the Lands of the President oftheUnited States. " " A And all these things wc say with due defer ence to tho talents of J.W. Forneyas well as with the highest appreciation of Lis services in the great Democratic cause. We think that he bad ju? t as good a right to aspire to that high position as any other man in our State, and if he had been elected we should have been amply satisfied; but wc must also say that we donot think that he is the man whom the mass of the Democracy of Penna had contemplated electing on this occasion.

Wa havonct souzit an A Hurder Cass in Detroit The " Murdered" Kan in Conrt. Outrasres and violence arc the order of the day ever-where just now, and Detroit, as a matter of course, must have its share. The good people of that city were greatly excited last week inconsequence of a murder most foul, which was alleged to have been commit ted near a place called Rrow nstown, and which the papers dignified by the title, in flaming letters; The Rrownstown Murder Case " The facts in this singular case, as near as tc can gather them, arc these : Some days ince, a pedlar named Samuel Kitcr, nged 19, entered the house of a man nameel Rickly, whose family consists of thre-e ladies and a little son. The pedlar was mis sed by hisTiieuds He was traced to Dickly's house he had never been seen to leave lhat house afterward I The three ladies in Rick ly 's family, Mrs. Mary Rickly Miss Norah Rickly, "and Mrs. Mary Shehan, were arres ted ou the charge of murder and lodged in jail at Detroit. Old Rickly and his son were not taken because they were too unwell to be removed. The examination of the parties commeuccd on Friday. The murdered"' man's brother testified that he had visited the prisoners' house and made a search ; saw fresh blood on the floor aud wall ; found bones and a piece of cloth in a barrel of ashes ; he thought the cloth belong ed to his brother's vest ; saw blood on the barn and on the snow. A neighbor, named Mrs. Hannah Clark, had talked with the accused relative to the blood ; told them murders were always found out ; ou one puticular night the witness si. oi led the burning of woolleu very (strongly, and also the burniug of fresh meat ; she thought the neighbors were cooking meat for the bee; the old bdy told her, since the blood had j been found, that a man had stopped there j over night, and came over to her house to get a bLiltiug to give her in change. A man named Peabody saw blood and ' smelt something burning " Capt. Alvord saw bmod ; dug into it with a knife and founel human hairs ; some of them six or seven inches long, of a dark brown color ; fcuud another spot, about 40 or 50 rods off, in the road ; dug int j that and found some more hairs, a dozen or fifteen in all ; went back to the house, saw the blood before desenbe-d, and some more on a flour barrel; saw a piece of bedv ticking, aoout as large as the top of the table (ubout !2i by 3(3 inches,) with several spots of blood upon it two or three inches in diameter. It was taken out of the bed. ' - ' Tho Free Ircss says that the couusel were about summing up the case on Saturday, when a little Dutchman (the pedlar) who had stood with hi3 hands in his pockets, a quiet specta tor of the scene, stepped forth and protested against any such liberties being takea with his affairs, declaring that ho had neither been slaughtered nor burned up. aud as to being dissolved iuto the small show of sheep bones and hors" hair which the table before him af forded, he felt iudignant at tho idea. " Of course wc shall not attempt to des cribe the delight of the spectators, the coa ster mat ion of the learned counsel or the a ujazemcnt of the judge, at the summary win ding up of the beautiful case which had been made out ; but we will confidently assert that the scene was rich." -There are 150 newspapers published in Virginia, and about S00 in Ohio. A Rill has been introduced in the House to reapeal the "Small Note Law." The Pittsburz Gazette complains 1opj and hard of the smoke and smut in the at mosphere of that city.

Three of the five negroes who murdered Mr. Green, of Prince William, Va., were hung on Friday. They consisted of mother, son and daughter. The cost of all the railroads in the Uni ted States, when those in the process of con struction are completeei, is estimated at 1, 000:000,CC0. The official vete of tho county cf K!

(From the JV. J'. Jhrald nf Ftb. 10) A Runavray Marriage in High Life The Bride Worth 250,000. A marriage took place in Grace church on Monday last, that has excited no little inter est in fashionable circles" and caused quite a ilutterinir amng certain wealthy fa milits. It .seems the bitde is an heiress, and worth iu her own right 250,000. She was the inmate of one of our most exclusive female seminaries, and is but fourteen years and eight months edd. Her wealth and the high position of her family were of course known to her as sociates, and her ac-quintancc was consequent- j ly courted Anions the gentlemen she was j introduced to was S K , a well known habitue of Fifth avenue saloons, but who had reached the mature age of thirty-one years. The acquittance ripeuel iuto iutiuiacy, an! eventually the parties-became engaged to be married ; but as the parents might iutcrpose an objectiem, it was arranged that it should take place unknown to them or any of the young lady's friends. It wus agreed that the hanny event should come off last Saturday (St Valentine's day.) and the church was opened, the minister ready, and a few spec tators had also assembled to witness the mar riage ceremony which was announced for 1 1 A. M. Rut noon came and no bride made her appearance, and the church was closed. I seems that the principal of the seminary in which the young .lady was a pupil got wind that something unusual was on the on - the ta2ift aud she locked the would be brida in her room, and so prevented tho fulfilment of her engagement.' Rut love laughs at lock smiths," and by some means "Mr. K. was no tified of the situation of afiairs, and arranged matters in such a manner that the young lady escaped from surveillance, and the couple were duly married in one of our most fashion able up-towa churches, on the 15th inst.
