The Gubernatorial Contest Notwithstanding the neit General Election will bo one of very great importance, the cam paign thus far has been unusually quiet. We think that the time Las now arrived when the Democracy bhould be up and doing. They should not forget how important, how essential to the ascendency of tho Democratic party iu the Vuion, and the success of the National administration, that we should sweep the State by a handsome majority next fall. The Know-Nothings and Black Republicans having ananged themselves under the leader ship of David Wilmot, will make a powerful effort to socurs his election. The Democracy have doubtks3 a clear majority over the com bined force of their opponents, but they . bhould not forget that the battle is not always to the strong but to tho vigilant and active. We have already endeavored to render our readers acquainted with the principles of Da vid Wilmot. He is a Black Republican of tho stroitcst sect," and his late letter ad dressed to the Know-Nothing State Council proves, that he is second to no man in the Commonwealth in upholding tha Doctrine that the Christian Religion should be dragged through" the mire of politics, and that men phould be'rendered outcast in the land, be cause they . worship God in the manner their couscjencc tells them is right. In short he is, and always has been a demagogue of the first magnitude, and his election as Governor would bo a deep and lastiug disgrac on our noble eld Commonwealth, which has always thus far sustained the proud position, of Keystone cf the Ftderal Arch. It is unneccessary for us to say anything in Tralse cf Wm. F. Packer our standard bearer Jle is a man of acknowledged ability, and has always been a consistent and active incmb of the Democratic party. ro public man in the State ccn present a fairer record of his areer a3 a politician and statesman; it is without a stain. As to the result in this county, we cannot for u momeDt entertain a doubt, that we can and will increase our majority over that of last fall, we arc confident, the Democracy of Cambria never will abandon their gallant standard bearer, to support a demagoguo fanatic and bigot. Bat we should not forget that our ojponents are aware of their inabili ty to defeat us by fair means, are endeavor ing to sow the seeds of discord in our ranks. They suppose no doubt, they are managing tho matter very shrewdly, but we think they ore not quite shrewd enough to catch the De mocracy capping. We'll wager a small gum, that the entiro county tiekct will receive the support of every democratic voter iu the ounty, the expectations and predictions of Know-Nothing and Black Republican leaders to the contrary notwithstanding. The moun tain Democracy have too much common sense, to break down tho organization of the party by opposing its regular .nominees in order to gratify the bigoted Know-Noth'ng would-be politicians, who sport alternately the appella tion of Americans and Black Republicans. Wo think our Know-Nothing neighbors can release themselves from all anxiety, with regard to the result of the election in Cam bria! TLo "mettle of her sons" warrants tls in predicting, that she will roll up a majority on the Rccond Tuesday of next October, for the indie Dtmccrttic Titkit, which will give her en additional claim, to ba recognized as the . rjr 'cfcr Pennsylvania.

On the 18th of December, 1851, Mr. Clay introduced a resolution in the United States Senate, in regard to the Anthony Burns' fugi tive case, in Boston where a mob of negroes sought to prevent the excutibn of the law. Ho is thus reported ia tho Congressional Globe : " But sir," said Mr. Clay, this is not all By whom was that mob impelled onward-? By our own race.' IS o sir oy nejrocs ; by African decendents . Ly people irlio posess no pirt as J contend, in - our political system; and the question wnicn arise is, wuetner we shall have law; and whether the majesty of the Government shall be mantained or not ; whether wo shall have a government of whits men or black men ia the cities of this coun try. Now, if "African decendcnls have no part in our political system," how can they be cit izens of tho United States ? Mr. Clay was not attacked for expressing such opinions, for at the time they were uttered, nobody but a few ultras doubted their judicial and consti tutional correctness. Kormonism and its Leaders. ?T It is well known that Joe Smith, the founder of Mormonism, resided for many years in tha village of Palmyra, N. Y. The Buffalo Commercial says that Brighaiu Yeung and Heber C. Kimball are also both New Yorkers. Biigham lived near the line dividing On tario and Monroe counties, in the town of Vic tor, at tho time he became a Mormon. He had always manifested a proclivity to religious fanaticism, or rather he was a lazy rapscallion', good for nothing except to howl at a camp meeting. He lived in a log '.shanty, with a dilapidated, patient, suffering wife, surroun ded by a host of tow-headed children. Oc casionally he made up a lot of axe-helves, and traded them off for sugar and tea; in other fits of industry he would do a day's work in the hay fisld for a neighbor, hoe the potatoes ia his own little patch, or pouiid clothes for his wife on a washing day. But his special mission was to go to camp meetings and revivals, where he managed to get his daily bread out of the more wealthy brethren, in consideration of the unction with which he shouted ga lo-rah !" On such oc casions Brigham took no thought of the mor row, but cheerfully putting on his old wool hat, he would leave his family without flour in tho barrel, or wood at the door, and telling his wife that the Lord would provide," he would put off for a week's absence.' Poor Mrs. Brigham managed along by borrowing from her neighbors, with small hope of re paying, chopped the wood herself, and with an old sun-bonnet Navirino style went to the spring afcer water, thoroughly convinced that her lot wag not of the easiest. Brigham was just the mun for the religion, and the religion seemed expressly adapted to him. He became an exLorter, held neigh borhood meetings, ranted and howled bis doctrines into the minds of others as weak as himself, and finally went West with the rest of them ; where he has developed his powers until the noor miserable rustic loafer is Gov ernor of a Territory, and chief prohet of-afl great religious sect. He has just the mixture of shrewdness and folly which is required for success in fanaticism or quackery. A wiser man could not hold his place. A man must lea half fool and half knave to bo a success ful quack. Heber C. Kimball was a man of more re spectability. He was born a fanatic, and if he wore not a Mormon he would be something else just like it. In bis church he was a Baptist originally he was one of those pes tilential fellows who want resolutions passed at church meetings withholding fellowship from somebody else, and insist upon having a political codicil added to the Bible. We be lie Vo he had some property. He has much more talent than Brigham Young, but ii in ferior to him in the elements of quackery. He has very respectable relatives now living r in the part of Monroe country, from which he started, It Would seem from the foregoing that the three counties of Wayne, Ontario and Mon roe, which join Mtch other, contributed . the four men who Lave boen tho most prominent and successful Mormon leaders-SmithYouctf, Kimball and Phelps. Diaastrous Fire at Johnstown The Rolling Mill of tie Cambria ?Iron T'orJc$ (Destroyed. On Saturday evening ast, the extensive rolling mill ''to the i well known Iron Work of Messeral "Wood, Morrell & Co.. was totally destroyed by fire. 1 We are indebted to Dr. Bramwell for a copy'of a slip froiajbe Tribune office, giving tho follw ing particulars : " The fire originated in ' a small outside building used for the purpose of rendering tal low-with which to grease the machienery. It is not certain by what means firs was com municated to the combustible material in the shop. When first discovered it was a small affair, and one of the watchmen thought to extinguish it with a bucket of water ; ' but water thrown upon burning grease only served to spread the flames, and in a few seconds the whole thing was on fire and in two or three minutes more the names were leaping over the roof of the Rolling Mill at a rate which defied the power of man to arrest And oh it went enveloping the entire structure and en circling the heavy wooden beams of the frame work, until They fell and f.uled and the crackliag trunks, Extingutsaed with a crash." The building was of frame, built in the shape of a cross, 600 long by 100 wide, with a cross pcice 350 feet in length. There were 21 double and 11 singlo Puddlefng Furnaces, and 12 Heating Furnaces under the roof, all of which are left standing and are supposed be but slightly (if at all) injured The engines are also thought to ' have sus tained but little damage comparatively. The value of the property destroyed is estimated at about $100,000. on which there are in surances amounting to about' $50, 000. . ' ,'Mr. Moroll the resident member of the firm of Wood Morell & Co,, and general su perintendent of the Works informs us that it is tho intention of the Company to proceed at once to repair the damage sustained, and to replace the building destroyed with one that will not burn. Their Blast Furnaces, Ma-chien-shop, Blacksmith-shop and Foundry, with the machinery, implements, patterns, &c. thereto belonging, are left to them in good workinz order, so that they can go to work at the construction of a new Rolling Mill house with their own operatives: -They purpose ereeting a temporary structure over the rolls for the present, and will be making railroad iron again within three weeks from thw time. We may add, for the benefit of persons at a distance who are not cognizant of the pecuniary strength of Messers. Wood, Morell & Co.. and the unlimited confidence reposed by our citizens in their energy and financial I ability, that no apprehension need be enter- tained of the sligldest pecuniary cmbarass- ment resulting to the Company from the loss they, have sustained. Their resources are ample, and every dollar of liability they may contrast will, as heretofore, be promptly met. e have yet to hear the first doubt expressed as to ability of Messers.

The Patterson (N. J.) Guardian, of the 14th inst.. tells the following story of a mar riage lately consumated in that place. A young lady of that place lately visited New York, and was introduced and became ac auainted with a family living in Fifth Aven- Ti,- roo1,U nl ennn -ifW w w t ue.

In a short time after the voungr man had retired, the young lady, who is the heroine of our story, introduced herself into his bed-chamber and ; passed the night there. Extraordinary as this conduct seems to have been, it was not such an astonisher as the young gentlemen received in the morning, for he found himself entrapped, the minister present, and a fuss generally being kicked up by the girl's relatives. The sister, on being informed of the true state of the case, was highly indignant and astounded even more than tha youDg man uimsen. jmy one way presented itself for the young gentle man to escape from the wrath of the house hold and the meshes of the law. A marriage was quickly solemnized, he at last expressing willingness to become, a husband sooner than have lecai measures resortea to. xlis sister returncd to the city to acquaint the family on J tho avenue with the scrape, ana tuo young man, her brother, we believe, slipped ofl in the next train. Nothing has been heard of tbe bridegroom from that time to this ; but his mother came up and. visited his newly made wife, and, after reproaching all hands j - - m mm mM for their hypocrisy and deception, declared her son should never live with the woman he had been forced to marry that, sooner than he should see her. they should send mm as far as water would carry him. Thus the affair stands at present. -Consid erable excitement and a great deal of gossip i have grown out of the affair, and how it will ; end time alone can tell. The Expedition against Mexico, Ac cording to the Washington States, advices from Havana confirm' the previous report re ceived from Europo by the - Asia, that the Spanish naval and military expedition against Mexico is abandoned.

Admirable Sentiment. . President Buchanan, in reply to the invita tion to the banquet given by the city author ities of V ashington to tbe llailroad excur sionists, wrote a brief letter in which he ut tered the following admirable sentiment: Railroads are truly said to bind the differ ent portions of the Union together in bonds of fron; but neither iron nor adamant is eo ef- lectual for this purpose as kind and patriotic hearts from difiercnt and distant States united 1 together in bonds of mutual respect and affee f tion and in a common love' fgr one whole, J great and glorious country.

' Hon. Wm. F. Packer: Dear Sir : I have laid before the State Committee the letter signed D. Wilmot, dated the 14th instant, and am authorized to say to you,, that in the opinion of the Committee, you ought not to accede to the proposition it contains, lac reasons for this opinion I will procede to state : Ihe slavery questCbn, which it is possible your epponent proposes to discurs, has very recently been thoroughly considered and pas- sad upon by the people of this Commonwealth. The late Presidential canvzss involved tho whole subject so far as it was proper fox con- gideration by our people, and we can perceive no utility iu its re-discussion at this time; nor ,any other good reason for re-opening debate upon it. The position of our party is well understood, and requires no vindication, at least by any extraordinary proceeding like that proposed. A joint canvass by candidates for the Gu bernatorial office has never been conducted in this State, nor, I believe, in any other North ern one, and may well be questioned on grounds of public policy. If the practice be once adopted, it will doubtless continue, and party nominations bo uniformly mado with reference to it. No party will venture to se lect a candidate for this office who is not qual ified for the stump : and aptitude for debate will hence become to be preferred to admiois . . T 1 A 1 1.

Shunk, from tilling the Jbxecutive chair of this State, must be a bad one, and to bo de nounced rather than adopted We believe there is a considerable public omnion against tne propriety or executive candidates appearing at all betore popular meetings to solicit votes, lhis was first prac- ticcd by Wm F. Johnson, in 1848, and has rnfr to some extent toliowed by candidates rr t. tv j v since. A ne gooa results oi it are not odvious. It did not originate with the Democratic party, nor has it ever received any formal popular or party sanction. It may therefore be con sidered an open question it in future practice, and at all events as forming no part of the duty of a candidate, imposed upon him by his nomination. While your opponent holds the office of President Judge, there is a special objection to the acceptance of his project. The propri- ety of law judges taking part in political mee- tings is denied by our party, and is opposea by sound public opinion. By no act whatever ourht we to sanction or become participants I iu a prostitution of the judicial character. I Nor will a resignatio n now made altogether remove this objection. Your opponent has m m jmm ft . m mtenlfbnally held his omco until within three I months of the election (rendering it iApossi- blc to elect a successor the present year,) and if a resignation should now take place it would obviously be with the intention of resuming the office after the defeat for the post to which he aspiers. The proposed mode of conductin pnmnftiffnQ may possibly be suited to some of the south ern and south-western States where it has been practiced, and whose population and "political condition differ form ours ; but its introduction here would be against solid ob jections,- and without any conceivable good. It is therefore, a proposed "Southern aggres j sion' 'upon the practice and policy of parties in I .Pennsylvania, xwhich cannot be at all accep- ted or permitted I It is well that this question has arisen when W(J have a cauditate capable . and fit for any discussion before the people, and when the I decision can be placed, without embarassment, upon publio grounds which control it.

Saturday morning, at about a quarter past live o'clock, a tragedy occurred at the Sea ! View House, Nevaaink, N. J, Albert S. Moses, at the time designated temporary bar keeper, was heard crying murder, as he was '. running in his night clothes from the hall of the third floor of the main building; and on approach of those attracted by " the cry, he retreated to his room and his bed, some twen ty feet from tho . 6tairway. He was found in his bed with his throat cut, and bleeding pro fusely. The matting on tho passage floor literally covered with blood; to the stairway. Upon inquiry the dying man said that James P. Donnelly, the book-keeper of the house, had killed him ; that during the night they had been gambling ; that deceased had won some fifty-8ye dollars off Donnelly, and that the assassination was the result of a desperate resolution on the part of Donnelly to recover the money. There being no physician at the Sea View House, a messenger was sent over to the neighboring hotel, Mr. Thompson's iu search of one. One of the guest3 referred the messenger at once to Dr. Connery, or, as he is more generally known Coroner Connery,? of New York ; who, with all possible despatch, re paired to the scene of the homicide. First, as surgeon, he sewed up and dressed the wound in the throat of the unfortunate man ; next, in the capacity of Coroner, he proceeded to organize a Coroner's jury, and an ante-mortem examination into the facts connected with the inevitable death of the wounded man ; next, as a Magistrate, the Coroner proceeded to secure the prisoner iu custody, in tho house, and to give tie required notice to the appro priate local authorities over the subject. Vekdict. We find, from the testimony given to us, both by the dying man, who was in his perfect senses, and other witnesses, that Albert S. Moses received tho wound in his throat, from which he now lies dead, at the bands of James P. Donnelly, on Satur day morniog, August 1, 1857. Coroner Connery would doubtless have ex tended his examination to other witnesses, had he been acting withiu his own bailiwick ; bat called upon as he was, to act in absence of any local coroner or magistrate, ho stopped with the evidence deemed sufficient for the identification of the assasiiu, aud his deten tion until tho arrival of the New Jersey offi cials having jurisdiction over tho case. This was the proper course, and indeed as surgeon, coroner and magistrate pro text the indefatigable labor of several Louis of Dr. Connery, iu relation to this bloody affair, has doubtless cleared the way to a complete solu tion of whatever mystery may yet hang about it. The deceased requested , the sixty-one dollars of tbe first parcel to be sent to Mrs. Matilda Oonkin, 151 Locust street, Philadel phia, and said that tho other money was not his own, meaning, perhaps, that it was the money of tho bar. The Democratic Party. Fortunatelyfor the Democratic party, no very great favors are asked or expected tow ard its existence or the guidance of its lead ers, from any fanatical source whatever It utands on the broad and boald. vet honest aud iberal platform, such as the Father of our Country would have supported and been proud of, had he lived to witness the presumption aud impertience of Puritan politicians. We are strong in principles. Wio dares to deny it r The great measures of our fcartv have been formed for the good of the Union. We are free to advocate such laws and privileges as our country requires, and being thus free, and armed with a love and reverence for the glorious memories of our forefathers, will not submit to any eectioual attempts to interrupt us ia our duty. The intelligence of the American people, from tho merchant to the mechanic, is by far too great, too solid and universal for any band of egotists and mtuels to despise or ridicule. What, pray, can we say of tho Black "Re publican" sympathy, for our land, or its in stitutions? 'they speak to the multitude with their silvery tongues, and promise to reform our political anairs to create, m tact, a new era among us, while in reality, they are de sirous of grasping the rein3 of our Govern ment, and making all who oppose uiern, sue cuiud ny tnreats, to so alter our political or ganizations, that wo must eventually bow down and indorse their opinions. They would spit upon the Democrats, and laugh at them loo, in the midst of their frenzy. Beware, then, beware of these rapid revolutionists these miserable and contemptible Puritan politicians ! It is the firm, yet indignant expressions of the Democracy that alarm aud excite the an ger of the Black Republicans." Argument against the fact is useless, and the late at temps to overthrow the chattered rights of our citizens have only increased the force and spirit of those expressions.

' In Alabama, North Carolina and Kentucky, no Governors are to be elected, and tho con test for members of the Legislature and Con gressmen will be much affected by local causes. In each of these States parties are divided into Americans and Democrats, and the issue of forcignism is the absorbing question. In Texas Gen.

We hope this is so ; but why didn't he resign sooner, so as to give the people of his district an opportunity, at the ensuing Oc tober election, of filling the office for the pe riod of ten years? The answer is eaUily giv en. He has very little, if any hope of aa election to the .Gubernatorial chair conse quently uext year, when the people are 6on- stitutionally authorized to act, (which can only be done when the resignation tak place three calendar months before a general elec tion,) Wilmot will again step forward and be elected to the Judicial Office!
