of ere short wiek, a change appears to have
come over the spirit of the dream of the edi

"rrject" Col. Piper. Messrs. Boggs and
White were citizens of the districts which the
gentlemen who substituted them were appoin
ted to represent, and were, therefore, prop
erly admitted.
The charge that Messrs. Boggs Riddle and
Reusch were not fairly elected Conferees, that
they did not receive a majority of the votes
cast, we unhesitatingly pronounce incorrect.
The Editor of the "Mountaineer" is certainly
a man of might and power, and his word will
doubtless carry weight with the people, but
we doubt very much whether, even he, can
succeed in convincing the citizens of Cambria
County, that Augustiu Durbin and H. A.
Boggs who signed the credentials of Messrs.
Riddle Boggs and Reusch would certify to a
falsehood It . impossible to know and not
esteem Mr. Boggs He ban always enioved
; Democratic party, ar alike unquestioned
The Edu,r of the "Mountaineer." will have
good reav i.o iIee, if --kiug hi, OD
the political horizon of this county" be ever
attains to the place in the confidence and es
teem of the people of Cambria, that Augustin
Durbin now occupiee. With regard to the
resolutions, we hare only to say, that we have
good authority for stating that no resolution
sustaining Govenor Packer, was passed by
the Committee. Had such a resolution been I
offered, it would doubtless have received the
vote of every member of the Committee pres
ent, with the exception of G. M. Iliddle Esq.!
We presume Mr. Iliddle wonld have voted
against it, because he recorded his vote against
a resolution sustainiug Govenor Packer, in
the conferee meeting at Tyrone on the 12ih,
ult.
The Editor of the "Mountaineer," will
probably deny that the article we have now
under consideration, contains cither a direct
or indirect charge of fraud, against the Com
mittee. W hy,m the very first sentence ofthe
article he eays, "It appears that the mere
touch ofthe Lecompton Constitution is con
tamination ; and tuat those who attempt to
sustain that fraud, must do so by reenacting
the bast scenes, which occurred in the Con
vention that framed it. This fact was most
glaringly lllujtrated in our town last week."
Tbis is tha preface to his comments on the
proceedings of the committee. He charges
the members of the committee who sustained
the National Administration, with being "con
taaunatod'r with renactiug the base scow of
the Lecomptou Convention, a Convention
which he has again and again denounced as a
fraud, a cheat a swindle. If this does not
clearly imply a charge of fraud and bad faith
again?t the majority of the Committee in at
tendance then words have Demeaning.
itT" .The Borough Election last Friday
passed off very quietly. The contest for
Constable and School Director was quite an
imated, but no unkind feelings were manifes
ted by t-ither party, and good humor ap
peared to be the order of the day. Annexed

Public Skntimknt. Iuorder to show that
j the Democracy of Pennsylvania arc determined
j to sustain their illustrious fellow citizen aud
Chief Magistrate, James Buchanan, it may
not be out of place to state, that the Democ
racy of Philadelphia have already twice endor
sed his Kansas policy. He has also been
sustained in either County Conventions, or
Mass Meetings, in the following Counties, viz,
Alleghau-, Clearfield, Clarion, Carbon, Erie,
Bedford. Venango, Wayne and Susquehanna.
Our readers are already aware that tho Dem
cratic County Committee of this county, pass
ed resolutions sustaining him. and that simi
lar resolutions were passed at the meeting of
Conferees from Cambria, Clearfield and Blair
on the 12th ult.
JlUT" His Honor Judge Taylor at Decem
ber Court, ordered a Special Court to com
mence last Monday, for the purpose of trying
the celebrated case of Chancellor vs Kibbler
c t, al, the determination of which will affect
the title of upwards cf 20,000 acres of land,
in the northreu section of tbi3 County. The
case was continued sometime since by the
consent of the parties interested. Judge Tay
lor and Hon. Henry D. Foster, ' one of the
Counsel for the plaintiff, not having been ap
prised of the continuance, arrived here on
Monday for the purpo se of entering on tho dis
charge of their respective duties They
both looked remarkably well, and we can truly
say that it is not often that two better men
honor our town with a visit.
.ff-Tbe Revd. P II. Lemke, returned
last week from Kansas where he has been
residing for some time. We have not learned
whether this is a mere visit or whether he in
tends taking up his residence among the

tleman has hosts of friends in this County
who will rejoice at this opportunity of once
more taking him by the hand.
J3T We regret to annouuee that Mr. T.

Success and prosperity attend him in his new

We invite the attention of our readers
to the following article, which we clip from
the Philadelphia "Penrvsylvanian." It may

The Anti-Iecompton Meeting-.
The leaders of the Anti-Lecomptou. Black
Republican movement, in this city and State,
are in tne habit of characterizing the Le

it is daily being demonstrated that, in order
to give a color of Democracy to the recent

ident and his Kansas policy. We have be
fore published the declarations of several Dem
ocrats who were insulted by being associated
with the men who are aiding and abetting the
Black Republicans, aud we now insert that of
Thomas D. Smith. Deputy Sheriff of the city
and county or Philadelphia:
To the Editor of the Penntijleaniun :

pearance of my name as odc ofthe Vice Pres

and that my name was used without my
knowledgo or consent.

The Lecompton Committee and Speaker Orr.
From the Washington Union, Feb. 10th.
Tho opposition newspapers, more especi-
I ally the Philadelphia ' and New York
Jnuts, are assailing 31r. Orr with great bit
terness of invective for the mauner in which
he thought fit to constitute the Harris Com
mittee on the Lecompton Constitution It is
pretended that some ancient aud iuviolable
parliamentary rule has been disregard in the
selection of this Committee.
We are at a loss to know what rule is relied
on for this assertion, iu what manual of par
liamentary practice it is to be found, and on
what ground of reason it rests.
There is a parliamentary rule which requires
that when any bill or measure or matter is
referred to a committee, it shall be refrered
to a majority of friends ; it being a parliamen
tary maxim that, "as a child is not to bo put
to a nurse that cares not for it, so no man is
to be employed in any matter w ho has de-
lorrf1 himsflf Bffninif it " Itnt tliJu .hIa nio .
-- ' "e "w3 imc
up the objections against the Committee in
questicn by the roots; for, as the Lecomp
tou Constitution is the subject-matter refer
red to this Committee, tor inquiry into the
whole facts of its origin and history, this very
very rule rendered it imperative upon the
Speaker to constitute the Committee so that
it would contain a majority friendly to this
Constitution
The legular course of procceeding with thi
instrument and the special message of the
President, would hare been, to refer them to
the standing Commitlee on Territories of the
House; which might have been presumed
fully as competent to deal with the subject-
matter they unbodied as any special-commit-
tee that couia De raisea. Y e can eoncene
ot out one ohjectiot: that coula have been legit-
iuiatcly urged against giving the Lecomptou
constitution this reference and that is that
the committee was opposed to the matter re
ferred, and, aud that the reference would be
like committing a child to an mimical nurse.
This objection did not exist, however, in fact;
and, not existing, there there was no suffi
cient excuse for raising a special committee
A committee, however, having beeu raised,
it was not only, as we conceive, incumbent
upon the Speaker to to so constitute it as to
give the friends of the special message and
the Leeompton Conseitution a majority of its
n:embers, iu pursuance of the just parliamen
tary rule we have ciud, but it would have been
moustrous to have referred those papers to a
hostile Committee. In tho opinion of a great
many, the House did violence to a parliamen
tary usage or courtesy iu refusing to refer
this subject to its own appropriate Standing
Committee; it was expecting too much of the
House, as a parliamentary body, to refer the
matter to a Committee positively hostile far
too much to expect of the dominant political
party in tbe House to commit a leadiug meas
ure of policy to the hostile nursing of an im
placable enemy. Tho outcry against Speaker
Orr is, therefore, not only unreasonable,
puerile, and petulant, but it is at war with a
most wise aud just canon of parliamentary
practice.
A glance at the composition of the Commit
tee in its relations to parties and sections, will
sufficeto vindicate the impartiality of the
Speaker The rule to which we have allu
ded required him to constitute a majority of
the Committee of the friends to the matter re
ferred Than requirement being satisfied, let
us scan the Committee with reference to its
sectional and party relations, It consists of
the following named gentlemen, from the
localities and of the political affinities indica
ted :
Thos. L. Harris, Ch'n, Illinois, Douglas
Aiesander II -Stephens, Georgia. Democrat.

Thomas L. Anderson, Missouri, American
John W Stevenson, Kentucky, Democrat.
Garnet B. Adrian, New Jersey Douglas.
Ja:ues Buffinton, 3Iass. Bl'k Rep.
William F. Russell, New l'ork Democrat.
The mover of the resolution for the Special
Committee was made Chairman, of course, in
accordance with parlimentary usage. The
Speaker being himself from the Southern
section of the Union, the Northern section
wasiiberaly allowed nine members against six
allotted to the South. The dominant poli
tical party in the House was allowd but sev
en members; while the deserting Democrats
were allowed two. The Black Republican
party were given five members; which, with
the two deserting Democrats, gave the coali
tion seven, and put them even in number with
the dominant dumocracy of the House. The
casting vote and balance power of the Com-
mittec was given, not to the dominant party
in the Ilou-o. who were the epccul thim-
pions of the Lecomption measure, but to a
member of tht- Amcrlcat party, who was fa-
voraoie to the subject matter referred.
Upon this statement of the fact of the cae
rVS r F,ufcrait,tLe
and fidelity of Speaker Orr's conduct to th
candid judgment of the country, lie baa
done his duty, in the letter and in A
manyfactionsdemogognosagaiBst him.

The bill for the admission of Kansas, as re

"My own opinion is, that Kansas ought to j
be admitted immediately upon the Lecomp- j
