Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Wc are pleased to observe that a number
of Democratic papers, in different parts of the
State, have expresecd a preference in favor
of George N. Smith, member elect from this
county to the next House of Representatives
of this State.' as Speaker of tha t body. ' Capt.
Smith has already served with distinguished
ability in that body, for two successive ses
sions, and his triumphant , election
third time, over the formidable opposition ar
rayed against him. is the best evidence of the
confidence of the Mountain Democracy, in
his integrity and ability as a Representative;
Heis possessed of " the honesty," firmness and
knowledge: of parliamentary rules, necessary
to constitute a good presiding officer and his
election as Speaker of the House, would be
nothing more than a well merited compliment
to the man, ... and the . gallant constituency
which he represents.

Pennsylvania lectionThe Full Official
Vote for Governor.
v-We. have at length received the official re-
turns frem every county of this State, and
subjoin the vote for Governor in full :
CotnsTiES. Packer. Wilmot. Hazlelmrst.
- Ths Democracy of . Pennsylvania
The Democracy of Pennsylvania have just
passed through an exciting contest and achie
ved a signal victory over the combined forces
of their opponent?. Packer's majority over
the united vote of Wilmot & Ilazlehurst will
not we think, fall below 10,000, and may
possibly reach 15,000. The news of this
signal and decisive victory has been received
- with a thrill of pleasure by true patriots in
every seotion of the Republic, affording as it
does additional evidence that our noble old
Commonwealth is still true to the Union, still
" the Federal Arch
' The campaign just closed although not so
. exciting as the Presidential contest last fall,
in many respects bore a strong resemblance
U it. - The same talk about bleeding Kansas,
' 'the eurse of slavery, southern aggressions on
'""the rights of the North with which the ears
of the people were regaled m lSoo, was re
hearsed by David Wilmot and his aids during
" the lato contest The result proves that Ab
olitionism has neither a local habitation or a
name on the soil - of Pennsylvania, and that
her sterling democracy, in the language of
Washington, will standby the Union "many
event,"
It was natural that our illustrious Chief
Magistrate should look with peculiar anxiety
to the result of the contest in this his own
;w- dear native State. If Wilmot had been elec
U1 Governor," it would have been universally
regarded as a condemnation of the adminis-
; tration of Mr.;Bucbanan by the people of his
own State. Those whe hoped that this wo'd
" bo the result have been wbfully disappointed
4lon3ylvnia!ia3 proved her -fidelity to her
own son and the time honored principles of
: the Democratic party by rolling up a large
i ; and increased ; majority for" the Democratic
...8UW ticket, v .
- In a contest for the perpetuity of our free
1 institutions the Democracy of Pennsylvania
have nevor been found wanting.' They have
' always been at their post," ready for action in
' the hour of danger and trial. By their vote
lost fall at the October Election , they preven
. ted the election of John C. Fremont to tho
. . Presidency, and the triumph of Black Re
- publicanism, which would have inevitably
' lead to a dissolution of the Union. . : . " i
It is not a' little gratifying to find by exam
. ination of the official returns of the elections
daring tho last three years, that the democ
racy of Cambria, throughout all the changes
and vicissitudes of the political arena, re-
. warned truo to tho principles . and landmarks
of the Democratic party .7 Cambria county is
now the banner county of Western Pennsyl

Every inch of rain that falb on a roof

have more than double that of roofing, and
of course, will have double that amount of

owners of buildings in the Borough, to have
spouting on all of their buildings, and also,
to have good cisterns to receive and preserve
all the rain water, again tie time of need;
if it will not be needed, so much the better.
Suppose a fire would break out, where is
the water to come from, their pumps would
soon be pumped dry. By laving a good cis

let every person have one of Barker's force
pumps in his well, as it is preferable to any
other for common use.' And in case" of fire
the hose can be fixed on in a half minute's
time, which will throw a cottinuous stream
of water on the fire. .' And if you can afford
it, have an extra one ; it caif moved to any
point you wish, and put into box to bo filled
with water, and attach to it a long hose, which
will be more convenient to extinguish the fire.

It appears that a man named Adams was
married a short time since to a Miss Jenkins,

Jenkins with revenge if she persisted in
marrying his rival, but she laughed to scorn
his threats, and as appointed, was bound in
wedlock to "Adams. - On the 16th of Septem

latter, was absent with his wife,' and finding it
only occupied by an old negro woman, knock

and then proceeded to demolish all the furni

down partitions and breaking the plaster off
the walls. Adams and his wife returned at
night, and their feelings on perceiving the
work that had been wrought, may better be
imagined than described. Medical assistance
was obtained for the old woman, and her few

The London Prtss on the Connecticut Ble
7 morialists-: 7 f x
The following extract is taken from a
lengthy editorial article in the London Daily
Telegraph of the 19th nit., on the subject of
the memorial addressed to President Buchanan
by Professor Silliman and the forty gentle
men of Connecticut who undertook to instruct
the President in his official duty. ;f The , Tel
egraph speaks in a plain and forcible manner
of tho folly of the memorialists, and its ar
ticle is tho more noticeable from the fact that
it appears in a journal entertaining as strong
anti-slavery views as the memorialists "them-""
selves. . The Telegraph,. next to the 'London
Times,' has the largest circulation of any daily
journal in the British metropolis.': It is a
paper of and fur the PEOrtE. and has ' always
spoken favorably of the TJuitcd States and
the American people. ' It says :
" No one who has read the articles which
have appeared from time to time in this journ
al on the question of slavery will accuse us
of supporting for one moment a system which
we have regarded with horror and indignation;
imt we cannot help rebuking a spirit of ag
gresion on the part of the Connecticut min
isters, seeing that the sole ground of their dis
like to Mr. Buchanan s policy is that he has
not put down with a strong hand the pro
slavery party in Kansas, and thereby endan
gered the safety and wc-H-being of tue Union.
lbe fact is, that these northern ecclesiastics
would not hesitate to sacrifice the best inter
ests of their country to carry out their con
victions, and are only restrained by their
want ot luucnc? and power.
' It is to such men as President Buchanan, ;
who, with the genius of an experienced di
plomatist, takes the whole bearing of a qucs- '
ticn, and does not act upon partial principles.
that the decision. of a"! matter, involving so
large an interest may most securely be in
trusted; and we view with sincere satisfaction
the stern but quiet rcbute which he has given
these self-constituted counsellors in his reply,
and the statesmanlike manner in which he re
pudiates the charges brouirht against him.
These imputation are of such a character
that, u true, they ought to consign his name
to infamy; on the contrary, as h justly re
marks, if they be not true, they must rebound
with withering condemnation on their authors.
It is not a light accusation they prefer against
ioe iniei xuagisirato oi ineir country, and
wuu remarkable calmness anu canuor he pro
ceeds to disprove their allegations " . .
' Had Mr. Buchanan been the man to bo
intimidated by the indiscreet outpourings of
a few Connecticut clergy, he would not have
been tho person to rule over twenty-eight
millions of free and - eulivhtened tuliects
It is not usual for the chief magistrate of. a
State to enter into a vindication of his policy
to private and obscure individuals. J he
Prcfcidmt might have preserved a i dignified
silence, and allowed the results of hi admin
istration to show the wisdom of his acts, lie
has, however, ventured, with that' eourt-sy
which so highly distinguishes him, to reply
to the charges brought against him by Prof.
Silliman and his supporters ; in his explana-
ation he entirely retutes their argumouts, aid
niauncsts mat irae ana liberal ppint or ac
tion which cannot but render his administra
tion beneficial to his countrymen, and exalt
the name of America throughout the civili
zed world."

pears that a man and woman but recently ar
rived there, and keeping a saloou, were sus

through the mud, and applied a swab dipped
in a mixture of tar and feathers to her person.
They were then let go. .
