THE ISSUE.
We cannot agree with those who contend
that Kansas and the Lecorupton Constitution
are becoming trifo themes. The exciting dis
cussion growing out of Kansas affairs had its
origin in tho ranks cf the Republican party ;
the leaders of that party declare that Kansas
shall not be admitted into the Union during
the present sessb n of Congress, although she
-now etand knocking at the door cf our na
tional Legislature , with a Republican Consti
tution in her hand framed in pursuance of
lawful authority, demanding admission into
the National Confederacy. The Black Re
publicans declare that her prayer shall not be that they Lave,
granted. The Democracy are in favor of her j comber court,
dopted by the meeting. They were drafted
by S. B M'Coruuek of Johnstown and our
eelf. Owing, to the 'dense crowd collected in
front cf the seats occupied -by the officers of
the xxieeting. we found it impossible to obtain
a position in which we could read the resolu
tions, so as to be heard by tho immense crowd
present. Y.re therefore handed them to Gen:
White, who was standing on a desk at the
time. They were read by Gen Wliite in a
clear and distinct manner and then adopted
by the meeting. Mr. Noon was instructed by
those resolutions to sustain the National Ad
ministration, in the Stite Convention, This
instruction he did not obey lie arrayed
himself among the enemies of the National
Administration in tlrt State Convention, and
consequently grossly misrepresented his con
stituents. It may be truo that Mr. Rhey
read in cue corner of the court room during
the meeting. Resolutions half Democratic
and half Free-Soil, but the meeting paid no
attention to them They were net adopted.
We do net understand Mr. Noon as deny
ing positively in his communication, that his
views with regard to the Kansas policy of the
National A Ijjinistratlon, hava recently un-
a remarkable change We know
A. shcit time after last De-
dcrrrone
he told us wc were right, in
immediate admission On this question, is
sue has been joined between tho two parties,
and, until it is finally determined by Con
gress, we hold that it is the duty of every
Democratic editor, every member cf the Dc-rs-oeratic
party, to be prompt, active and fear-
dsss.in defending the cause of truth and right.
Tin the language cf Daniel Webster, '-Let v.s
n t bo pigmies in a case that calls for men."
We have .-".lid, that the Democracy are in
favor of the immediate admission of Kansas
i:ito the Union, under the J.econip'on Ccu
utution We are awurv that a motley group
of diorgini2:rs ia the ranks of the Demo
cratic party are acting with the Black Repub
licans on this question. Rat, thank Heaven,
iit this ounty it least, they are like Angel
visit, "few and far between." The Democ
racy of Cambria, in spite of all the efforts of
the disorganizes, still remain true to their
first lovo, and will nevet. desert the party, let
the worst befal it that cau bcfa.1. "They arc

: and. that tho conservative men of the County
were and would continue to be with us. Of
! course Mr. Nou has a prrfect right to shift
uis position cn uus or any uvmci ucshvj
often as he sees proper, but he should col
forget, that consistency ii a tiituc uhicli has
always commanded, avd &tiU commands the
admiration of the American I'f jle.
Mr. Noon discourses learnedly, and even
poetically shout the Democratic Party rising
Phconix like from U ashes. Now we beg
leave to inform -him tbtt the Democratic par
ty, is not dead yet. Its history is coeval with
that of the Constitution of our country, and it
has always been its Protector and Guardian.
When tho Constitution be comes a nullity, a
dead letter, the Democratic Party will cease
to exifct. but not until then; and even though
disappointed anpirarits for government con
tracts may s3C3o l ia inducing a few ardent
young men to desert its ranks, we firmly be
lieve that the party will still continue in the
Court, and according to the Account of this
interesting affair as published in the Mnm
taincer a few weeks' ago, the Drptdy 'after
reading the call" carefully, signed it. Tt ap
pears by the last Mountaineer that the second
call of Philip was equally successful. The
Depuly is also the identical individual, who
made such tremendous efforts to get Philip
an opportunity to make a speech at Carroll-
town last fall; "call On Phil Noon; Phil Noon
Vauts a chance -to say something." The ap
peal could'nt be resisted and Philip wa3 ac
cordingly called on, to give, Lis views con
cerning the exciting topics cf tho day. "Phil
ip is evidently willing to make the Deputy his
tazn Friday, but whether the Deputy will
consent to the arrangemeut or not of course
is at present doubtful. Philip should prepare
a fierce communication get the Deputy to sign
it, and then publish it. It would have a
direct and irresistible tendency to make the
nest number of the Mountaineer very ppicv
and interesting.
Philip would like to be very severe and
sarcastic in Lis Editorials. He has now in
his possession a file of the Mountaineer pub
lished andEdited in this place some twenty
or twenty cue years ago, by the late Win. R.
Conway E.sq., and we understand that lie is
in the habit of devoting an hour occassionally.

oorrowing nis ueas. x uis reminas us so
forcibly of the Fable of the Asu in the Lion's
skin, that we cant forbear quoting it. An Ass
chancing to find a Lion's skin put it on, and
immediatly sallied forth Expecting to terrify
the whole neighborhood. Unfortunately he
met Lis roaster just as he started, who seeing
his (the Asses) long cars sticking out from
beneath the Lions skin, immeuiat'y sczied a
club and gave Mr. Bray a geed beating, which
soon convinced him that although he sported
C. D. Murray Esq. My Dear Sir. Al
though I am not at all desirous of seeing my
name in print, nor yet fceriously affected with
caecoathus ccribendi, still I cannot refrain
from accepting jour kindly offer of half a col
umn, to vindicate -myself ; and in order
not to infringe on your liberality, I will write
as briefly as possible. The whole weight of
your argument, to sustain the assertion that I
misrepresented the Democracy of Cambria, in
the late State Convention, seems to rest on
the basis, of a resolution having been passed
at tho meeting on Monday night of court
week instructing me to sustain the views of
tho Administration on the Lecompton Con
stitution. Now if the meeting you speak of
was held.it was necessarily properly officered;
A Committee on resolutions was appointed,
who through its Chairman, reported the reso
lution to which you refer, to the meeting. I
see by the printed report of the meeting, that
you were the Chairman of that Comi.dttee.
Now sir if you will say, that you as Chair
man of that Committee, reported and read the
rc-soluticn instructing me, in that meeting;
then I will acknowledge that I misrepresent
ed that meeting. Let us be candid. Let us
present the proceedings cf that meeting as
they really were. Let us ttll your readers
that both Gen. White and John S. Rhey Esq
read resolutions to that meeting; that they
both "finished reading about the same time
and that consequently, both sets of resolu
tions were unanimously adopted. With regard
to the charge of arraying myself under the
leadership of Wm. A. Stokes Esq. and Col.
Forney, I would ask you to take that back.
Not sir, that I do not acknowledge the abili
ties of both those gentlemen. Not that Ida
not admit their services ia the cause of De-
You and I both fought under the
leadership of Col Forney as Chairman of the
Central Committee in I860, and we both ad
mired the eloquence cf Mr. Stokes in hi3 de
fence of Democratic measures, in the same
memorable campaign. There are persons
who thiuk that those gentlemen stand now up
on iho same-platform they did in 1850, and I
am one of them. You are sufficiently acqt a'ut
ed with ineto know however, that L am not in
the habit of locating myself under the coat
tail of any individual. Now for the remain
ing charge of having changed my opinions.
This charge I do not think the facts will bear
you out in making. I do not however look up
on it as a criminal offence to change toy views
upon becoming mere enlightened oa anyques
tioc. I will acknowledge that I tried very
hard to convince nij-self that Mr. Buchanan
was right in his view of th.e Kansa" qaes'.io:'1,
Zll I always felt that "if wc could sustain
mm, without sacrificing the Democracy of
Pennsylvania at least temporal, we shevdi
dev. When tLe matter was first agitated at
Deceoiber Court, I expected that the differ
ences of opinion which existed would be com
promised in a few days and felt that it was
unwise in us by taking sides on the question,
to widen the breach. It was with -his ititen-
niug ia weaknes uf spirit under this prier
oua burden, and their maledictions will fall
upon any Ic2L-lator who allows himself to be
ledby falso lights and specious pretexts, to
refuse the repose which all the industrial in
ter sts now imperatively demand. The N.
Y. llerjld givvs the following item from
Washington-.
Intelligence Las jut been received here,
from the highest authority in Kansas, sta'ins
that numerous petitions, signed bv ho Free
State men, ore cn their way. to Washinston,
in favor of the immediate admission cf Kan
sas under the Lecompton Constitution. The
President has received letters from responsi
ble sources in Kansas which state, in positive
terms, that most of the prominent free soil
men in the Territory desije. the immediate
passage of tin Lecompton Constitvtion It
is said that even Lane and Robinson desire
its passaje, and are on their way to Washing
ton. Thirteen of the fifteen Democrats fro7n
Pennsylvania will vote for the bill. This
is a gain of four votes from this State.
The information respectin-r our Pennsylva
nia delegatiou'is net unlikely to prove true.
We observe that the I'rcss ha become res
tless under the prospect, and seeks to hold
our Congressmen to their early position, or
what it is disposed to construe into opposi
tion to the President's policy. We are not
surprised at this response to the almost un
animous voicj of the Pennsylvania Democra
cy last Friday. This will justify each of onr
Congressmen in yielding his personal prefer
ences to this solemn declaration of bis cons
tituents, while it would bs hard to see how
any could well eseuse an opposite course,
under the light which they now possefs as to
public sentiment in Pennsylvania. It will
not do to answer that th delegates universal
ly misrepresented tho will of their constitu
ents, for their constituents had it m their
power to instruct them as to their will. We
must accept the action of the Convention as
the act of thop whom they represented, in
the absence of poii'itt evidence to the con
trary. We observe that Mr. Montgomery, of this
State, hn.o pepard a species cf co'imromisn
biil, which he proposes to submit. Tie pro
vides for a Convention to amend th L.eo:!
ton Constitution. When it is offered, we
shall give the particuiars of the movemeut.
All these indication unite in favor of a heal
thy fteling on this question, and places the
immediate admission of Kansae beyond anv
scrious controversy.

We have received our files by the steamer
at Portland, but they contain nothing of im
portance. The following passage from Lord
Derby's Address, in relation to France, is,
perhaps, entitled to especial notiee : "If any
remains of animosity existed from the war in
which the country had been involved with
Russia, he trusted that feeling would speedily
bo replaced by the fiiendlv relations that for-
time. If we adopt the above adage as a safo
"rule of action," we m.ist certainly form a
very inferior opinion of the members of the
Democratic party who are opposed to the ad
mission of Kaus.-is into tho Union under the

Fred Douglas and David Wilmot. The New
York "Tribune'" is opposed to the admission
of Kansas under th-j Lecompton Constitution,
so is Forney' "Press. The Johnstown "Tri

us a fraud, a swindle, so does the Ebensburg
"Mountaineer." The Johnstown "Tribune"
is the orguu of the Know Nothing and Black
Republicans of this county, while the "Moan

o this county who style themselves Anti-Le-eoiDptonitcs.
We will not be ct all turprised
if, in less than two weeks, the editor of the
"Mountaineer" and the editors cf the "Chm

Mr. Ncion "has no right to complaiu cf the
censure which has been cast on him, for his
course in the State Convention. If, like our
talented and efficient Representative ia the
State Les-ialature. Hon. George N: Smith, he
had faithfully represented his constituents, he
would have received as a testimonial of their
approbation cf his course, the greeting of,
"Well done, good and faithful "servant." He
espresso his admiration for John W. For
ney. " Mr. Fomey acknowledged in his Ilar
mburg speech, that he is "outside cf the
Democratic faith." Is Mr. Noon still willing
to recognize him as a Luna Jide member of the
Democratio party? He will certainly not
deny that on all occasions, he acted in the
State Convention, with William A. Stokes,
Esq., the mouthpiece cf John W. Forney.
We never charged him with being "pinned
to the coat-tail" of any num.
In reply to Mr. Noon's gratuitous sugges

The following letter from Mrs
Montague to the Duchess of Portland, was
w-.:tt'ri in 173$ more than a hundred years
ago It contains a vivacity and sparkle net
usual even in these days of wit and good-humor
:
"Madam : Your grace's very cntcraiu
ing letter was sent to me at Sir Wvndlum
Knatchbull's, where I have been about three
weeks, and propose returning to Mount Mor
ris in a few da a. I am as arirrv as I dirt
be with yonr grace, that you did net send
any acc-utnt- of those charming fireworks,
which I fancy were the 'prettiest things imag
inable. I very much approve your love of
variety in trifles, and constancy in things of
greater moment. I think you have great
reason to call exchange rtfbbery, though the
common saying is to the contrary. For my
part, who never saw na mar. that I loved, I
scarce imagine I could he fond of a dozen,
and come to that unreasonableness so ridicu
lously set forth in 'Iljopolto,' in the 'Tern

that day to prevent an expression; it was with
this intention. I made the motion to aojourn
the meeting and it was with this desire I
ar-rued that the President was riht in his
positiern. J
But as time wore on, I found that "the dec- ;
trine of self government, tha eternal princi
ple of popular sovreignty although like Ban
quo'sghc"st in one particular, in that "it wo'd
uot go down at our bidding" was not a phan
tom. Then I felt that if the Democratic par
ty must go down, I as a Democrat desired it
to fall with all its principles pure. I felt if the
old Pheonis died thus, oat of its ashes a
young Phoenix would arriso, with all it prin
ciples intact and that on these principles
we could stand and fight the glorious battle
of self Government once more successfully. If

In conclcuion we have only to eay that we
do not think the "fact," will bear Mr. Noon
out in agsertinr, that he considered at last
December Court, "t.at it was unwise by ta-
Eentiments proclaimed by the renegade For- king sides on the (Kansas) question, to wi
ney throuth the columns -of.. Lis 'piper. Uu- den the breach." We know, as we have al
der these circumstance?, it behooves every j ready stnted. that ho was then on the side of
trna democrat to be active and vigiunt id the National Adminiatraticn. Indeed ia the

been reversed, and a sinular attempt had been
made on the life of Her Majesty, what would r
have been the feeling of this county ? Espec

foreigners who had abused the hospitality of
neighboring county? Under such circum-.
stances the expressions of feeling should not
be too nicely scanned, though he did uot
think the Bentimeuts of some of the addresses
of the French Colonels represented the gen
eral feeling towards this country of the great
and noble army of France, because true val
or nerer indulged in bombast. As to the
foreign exiles in England, although the law
provided penalties for crime committed here,
it was impossible to put the law in forco with
out an overt act. It was most unfortunate
that together with the bill introduced by the
late Government, a despatch was made public
unaccompanied by any answer, and, he
trusted, in a manner that would remove all
irritation from the minds of the people cf this

ADMISSION OF KANSAS.
The whole couutry, since the President's
special Message, has wakened up to the par
amount importance of removing this Kansas
incubus from the general interests. lhe
earlier f eLng, excited by ignorance of the
facts and a want of due reflection, is fast brea
king up and yielding to the light which has
been cast upon the question by that most lu
cid exposition giving in Mr. Buchanan's Mes
sage, and by the change of feeling among
the people of Kansas, themselves. This lat
ter poiut, was to have been expected, as it
was unreasonable to suppo'se, tbat a conser
vative spirit was utterly dead in the Territo
ry, or that tho people could much longer con
tiuue blind to their true interests
The nation is now convinced, that all this
blataut outcry, that tho acceptance of the Le
corupton Constitution would be a wxong a
gainst the Kansas people, is a mere trick to
deceive, and that there is, therofore.no reason
why tliny should not admit Kansas into the i
