Ebecsburg, Feb. 24, If 68.
Tha Pittsburg Keeticf.
A -meeting was held in Pittsburg, last
week, for tbe purp one of affording certain to
ifrw Democrats an opportunity of showing
ttetveaads. John W. Forney and Lis Aid,
William A Stokes, were prominent actors on
the occasion. Both made rpc-eches. It is
ct our-iutenttOD at .prceeut to review tie
Fpoeebec cTJosar. Forney & Stokes, but we
hop we wtil be es cased for briefly alluding
tj tbe political career of a gentleraan who
figured prominently in this meeting, wbooace
had a local habitation and a name on the coil
of Little Cambria. We allude to Samuel C.
Wingard, the Cuairrcen of the Committee on
Resolution, Towards Mr. Wingard we en
tertain no unkind feelings, and we have no
tlcjiro to Might hia political prospects iu the
firaoky City". Of course the Republican par
ly in Pittsburg, whea-united, are always cer
tain of triumphing, and Mr. Wingard is too
ttiuoh of a practical politician to continue
long in tha ranks of minority party. lie
located in this couLty about the year 1552.
lie was then a Democrat, and labored zeal
onaly to promote the election of Gen. Pierce
to the Presidency. In 1854. he was a can
didate for the office of District Attorney, sub
ject to the dfcisioo of the Demoeratio County
Convention, but the Convention respectfully
declined noasinating him. Ia 1855, the Know
Nothing party entered the political arena,
and began to collect beneath it standard the
demagogues, political cormorants and broken
dewn politicians of all parties. M r. Wingard
wan aoicug tha first members of theDemo
ratie party iu this county who deserted it for
the parpoio of upholding the cause of bigotry
aud intolerance. Samuel instantly became a
devoted and zc-alcas follower of Sam ; ia a
vror&wv ranting Know Nothing. The samw
year he was Supported by a Urge faction in
the Kuow Nothing nominating Convention,
. for AsRjbly. He was, however, again un
successful in his efforts to get himself before
the people as a candidate for office, ft. S.
Alexander was nomin&tcu. and Samuel forth
with "hung the harp of Know Nothicgianj on
ibs willow."
A tbort time afterward -he removed to
1'ittbbur, where we learo ho immediately
donned the infc&tlo ofDemocray. lis course
ia the PiUsturg Anti-Lccompton meeting
proves that his Democracy baa not since he
became a risuieiit of that city assumed a
chronic farm. .The course Mr. Wingard is
now persuing, doe not surprise us the least.
Having assisted to unfurl the banner of Re
ligious bigotry ou the soil of Little -Cambria,
it is not at all surprising that ho now is dis
posed to contribute hia beet -efforts towards
breaking up and disorganizing the Democrat'
ie Party, during tho trying crdcai through
-which it is now paetiug. The idea of the
Know Kothing bigot, who was willing to de
prive a portion of bis fellow eititens of their
rights, as freemen, because they worshipped
Gol accordiag tc the dictate oftheir pwn con
sciences, prating about his devotion to the
principle of popular c-rerstg&ty and "patriot
ism as broad as tho -utmost circumference of
the Union, and deep as its broadest founda
tion, is perfectly disgusting. amucl is evi
dently better qualified for soaring throngh the
Ttgioua of high falutin, tbau expouudiog the
principle of the Demoeratio Party. Ab we
remarked a few weeks ago, the sooner such
men so over to the ranks of the Know Noth
ints and Black Republicans, the better .They
are at present i ot-hing bu spies and traitors in
ihe Democratic Camp.

THE PROSPECT.
It afbrdd us cot a little pleasure to assure
our readers, that the progvf cts that the till
for the Adcuifceiou of Kansas under the Le-
comptoa Constitution will soon becojie a law
are hourly greviag brighter. The bill for
the admiesicn of the Territory into the Uni
on as aStcte which recently -passed the Sen
ale, we are now ceufiJeni. will paas the llouae
with perhaps a few slight modifications.
Should thitt be the ca?e, the Kansas contro
versy ia about to c't3e,. bleeding Kansas
Stock, will ere lon be a bad investment, and
the" voices of the freedom shriekere will soon
bo Lushed forever. Probably we will hear
from Horace Greely, John W. Pprcey & Co,
for several months, considerable talk about
"infamy,"" the "'crime 8gain6t Kansas arid
popular sovereignty," but it will be nothing
more than their last farewell shriek
The bubbling cry
Of tha'strong swimmors ia their agony."
The "New York Tribune," Greely'a pa
per, and the "central" organ of the opposi
tion, almost acknowledges that tbe "hunt is
op." Its Washington correspondent in a re
cent letter from that city 6ays :
"The ira practicable n ess of a few Republi
can members who dou't want to vote for Crit
tenden'e ameaiment, renders the -defeat of
Lecompton very doubtful. The prospect to
day is far from encouraging. As the vote is,
however, postponed till Thursday, the present
difficulties may be overcome by that time."
But even though the united hosts of the
opposition, backed by a few renegado demo
crats, should succeed in defeating the meas
ure in the House, we are -confident thtt the
result would not cause the Democracy of
Cambria to fail ia iuslaining tho President of
their choice, and the policy of his administra
tion in every particular. If the Lecompton
Constitution is defeated in the House, it will
be through the united vote of the opposition
ia that body. But as we have already stated
we entertain no apprehensions of such a re
bult We confidently bciievo that Lecomp
ton will pass.
"Slewed are the Keek."
Tbo last number of the "Mountaiuee'r," ta
king every thiug lot consideration, is an ex
ceedingly mild document. The talk about
falsifying, kc, of course is more for ornament
than use. As to the charge that we do not write
our own editorials, it is too trifling to merit
the slighest attention. Ditto that we are
the tool of Gen. White. If we may credit
tradition, Judas Iecariot was always loud in
professions of lore fur hi Divine Master, and
ever ready to doubt and question the fidelity
of the other apostles. Yet it was he who sold
his Master for forty pieces of silver and be
trayed him with a kiss. And so it has al
ways been with traitors and demagogues from
his day to the present time. Ever ready to
become the base instruments aud tools of de
signing m-eti, they are constantly endeavor
ing to place those who chance to cross their
pathway, on ihe dishonorable Platformwhich
they themselves occupy. The man who ie
always ready to
Crook the. pliant hinges f the knee.
That thrift may fol'ow fawning,
is generally the first to oast suppicio on the
conduct of other's, and never fails in bcaating
of his own honesty, integrity and purity.
With regard to the editorial articles which
hav appeared ia the "Mountaineer" from
its first appearance up to tbe present time, in
the absence of any evidence to the contrary
we do not entertain the slightest doubt that
thev were writteu by Mr. Noon. None of
them, to tbe best of our knowledge and be
;ef, displayed Euch extraordinary ability that
any man of ordinary talents, afflicted with
that cOrnmon disease, an itch for scribbling
for the rVcss, could not have written them
The chai se that we are controlled in th
discharge of oJr editorial duties by General
White, or any ot'ier mau, is a low and scur
rilous falsehood. aJd we at onc sail it to
THE COUNTER as such.
Wht Didn't tmy vox. All the reafcon- I
able, order-loving, conservative members of
the Republican party, admit in their own
hearts that the refusal of the Free State par
ty to vote at different times was factious, sui
cidal and the cauBe of all their troubles. Had
they exercised their right, according to law,
they could have had all the legal power of.
the territory in their own hands," aud conse
quently could have managed its affairs in their
own way. Their 'refusal to vote for members
of the constitutional convention, was dictated
by politicians in the States. Every one knows
that it waa in accordance with the programme
laid down by the Tribune long before the elec
tion took place. Gov. Walker assured them
that all the authority of the civil and ajilitary
power of the federal government should bo
used to protect them iu their rights, but they
ridiculed and insulted him. Subseauentlv.
however, seeing they had injured their cause j
oy ice-ouree iney uaa pursuc-a, tney set up
as an excuse for not voting, that a registra
tion Lad not been made. They had thrown
every obstacle in the Tay cf -registration, &s
they had ia the way of every other Jaw of
the territory, and -in many instances by bribes
or threats prevented the officers charged with
his duty from performing it. They said that
iu a number of the countieu no registration
was made, but this 'neglect was not fraught
with such evil consequences aa they would
make out now, when we consider that many
of the counties in Kansas exist merely on pa
per, that they are sparsely settled, not organ
ized, and remote from the populous portion of
the State. But admitting that everything cn
this score was as they charged, one fact is
still within the knowledge of all, and not de
nied by them ; that is that some ten thousand
voters were -registered ; of thi? number, two
thousand and some hundred voted, leaving a
majority of five to one that did cot vote, evea
of this partial registration. It is reasonable
to presume that those who did not vote were
Free State men, acting in accorJance with
the system of political tactics laid down by
the leaders, aud is evident that they had vo
ted, they could have elected every member
of the Lecompton Convention, Free State
men. The JNation&l Era, the ablest and
most uncompromising anti- slavery paper in
the Union, has always condemned the non
voting policy of the Free State .party Hear
what the paper sf'S about, their course
at the recent election : .
"The official tables show that, dc&pite all
frauds, and the rejection of the returns sent
to Gov. Denver, instead of Mr. Caihoun,Mr.
Parrot, the Free State candidate, waa elec
ted to Congress: and that despite all frauds,
had the 037 votes seat to Denver been sent
to Calhoun, tnat ?S"'cer would Lave Leon obli
ged to declare the whole of the Free State
ticket elected, and to issue certiucates ot
election to the Free State majorities iu the
Legislature. Any man of common sense.

rests the responsibility " of defeat, if iudscd
fraud has succeeded in effecting that object.
We insist that if the Free State men teul on
ly unite in voting, their overwhelming nu
merical superiority will be more than a match
for any fraud that the minority will have the
boldness to venture upon.
"As to the reason assigned for not voting
that the act "might be perverted into a re
cognition" of the Lecompton Constitution
let us ask, is there anything a man can do
wbich will cot be misrepresented and ."per
verted" by an unscrupulous political adver
sary? Earnest, practical, independent men
will not Bhape their course merely to avoid
the censures or escape the slander cf their
enemies. They will judge for themselves
what their cause requires and their principles
justify. The Free State men in Kansas had
sufficiently domonstrated their detestation of
the Lecompton Fraud jiad Constitution, but
knowing, as we know, the fixed purpose, cf
the Administration to force that instrument
through Congress, and justly apprehending
the result, they determined with a wiee foie
cast, to be prepared for every emerg ncy, ly
securing the whole State Government, which
would sprinr ifcto life on the too probable ad
mission of Kansas nnder that Constitution.
If Kansas should become a State, it would
not be by their action, or by the action of tho
people of Kansas, but by the act of Congress
The Constitution itself would then be the off
ppring of an aet of Congress for without it,
it could not have even the form of law.
What, thn, was the position of the Free
State voters? Force this Constitution upon
us, force Kansas as a State, under it into the
Union, and yon thall take nothing by that
outrage ice shall vote in time, take posses
sion of every branch of the Government that
yon, threaten us tcith, ho that when you have
done the deed, wo may bo able to bafflo your
injustice, put a Free State member in your
House. Free State senators in your senate,
abolish all the so-called Laws that have cur
Fed jib, end provide instantly for a lecitimate
Constitution, in place of the fraudulent one
which jour act alone has invested with a le
gal form. - .
"lms wa9 the declared position of tue
Free State voters, everywhere proclaimed,
nowhere misunderstood. He who can find
in it a sanction or recognition of the Lecomp
ton fraud or its offspring, if sincere,- is be
yond the reach of argument ; if insincere, de
serves none."
Haeuisbcro, March, 29, 1858.
AcotJSTlN Dcbbin Esq Dear Sir. My
letter to you of the 12tht inst, has, it appears
hat given ofiense to some persons whom I
woufd not wish to offend, and to whom no of
fense wafl intended. It waa in the hope of
aesistirjg in the suppreEsion of sectional feel
ing which mig'Qt arise and prevent a false is
sue from carrying off any portion of the peo
ple of Cambria in f?bom the principles of
Democracy are so finely ?-od firmly establish
ed It was dictated with an honest purpose,
to preserve the haPDV conditio' of political
feeling which has made Cambiia ihe banner
Democratic county of the west. Tu? letter
being dictated through the best and pC?reBt
motives, it was not expected that it wou'4
give offense and cause such a labored effort
to burlesque it as appeared in the last Moun
taineer. It waa not intended nor expected to
bring out exhibitions of wit, from the whim
sical imaginations of those who it now ap
pears are looking ahead for political positions.
I regret to find that it has disturbed some
persons on a point, about which I was entire
ly unaware they were tenacious. In the
would be facetious and comical reply to my
letter, there ia intermingled a mixture of
chagrin and spleen, giving most unerring in
dications that they tear tbere is something in
the way bctweca them and a dearly cherish
ed object. There is a stream of personal ven
om 'running through tho whole effusion which
-I ceed not comment on, as it speaks for itself.
The Conductors of the JIuvntainetr, say,
the inference contained iu my letter' was,
"that all who do not endorse the views of
Mr. Buchanan are designing and intended
demagogues." Surely conscience, that "silent
monitor," must have forced them to such in
terpretation for there is nothing in the lan
guage that -will bear the construction they
have given it. I bad reference to the prin
ciples aud actions of men against whom they
and I have battled for years. I referred to
the designing and interested demagogues who
have been the cause of the great number of
violent and disgraceful outrages which have
bsen perpetrated iu diffcrout parts of the
country. Surely the -Conductors of that pa
per mubt have forgotten the time -when we
stood side by side battliug against the men
who arc the getters up of the great cry about
Kansas frauds. Mr. Forucy and the Black
Republicans are protesting against the admis
sion of Kansas into the Union on account of
the monstrous frauds committed at the elec
tions held in that Territory The very men
with whom Mr. Forney has affiliated, and
who cry fraud so lustily, rode into power on
the top wave of fraud. Present members of
Congress who cry out against the admission
of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution
on account of fraud, are now holding their
places of.power through fraud and violence,
more dark and damning than any that have
ever been committed iu Kansas. These men
are now holding office through fraud dark as
that which has disgraced the City of Balti
more, and damning as that which has marred
the political escutcheon of Louisville. If the
conscience of the Conductors of the Mountain
eer tell them they are following in the lead of
demagogue whose crimes have blackened and
disgrace the history of our country dema
gogues where souls are soiled with treason,
perjury, robbery and murder, they must not
charge me with making any such inference,
for no such consttuctiou can be properly pla
ced on the language contained iu my letter
They have also iattmated that I would stain
the "Virgin Soil" of Kansas with the blood
of the beet Democrats in Pennsylvania. Ia
reply to this insinuation let mo say that the
"virgin "soil" of Kansas has already bcea
nmstltiitptl bv the most worthless and aban-
donea outcasts the Emigrant Aia societies
could gather from the purlieus of the Eastern
cities.0 The "Virgin Sjil" of- Kansas La
long Bince been dtbached by bu.ndit3 sent
from the east for the express purpose of plun
der, fraud and bloodshed.
In endorsing the policy cf Mr. Buchanan,
in reference to the Kansas difficulty, I did
nothing which should be condemned by any
Democrat, for the admission of the Territory
as a State, under any form of government at
this time will be a measure of national peace;
and to reject it will but prolong the fisree sec
tional difficulty which now unfortunately ex
ists. Its adutibsion will at once disarm revo
lutionists, and. the strong arm of violence
with which the territory has been so long
governed, will give way to a regular and le-
PASSXD THE 8EKATE
Aa was well understood would.be tha cae,
the bill for the admission of Kansas under
the Lecompton Constitution has passed the
Senate of tha United States.. We have be
fore alluded to the fact that it has been sel
dom iuiec-i that we have found the Senate
fail the c&ustry, when devotion to her cause
waa needed.' 'Jikla is pre-eminently such
time, when the question to bo 4tcided is.

Calls of fanaticism and party aui personal

Senate has "qain been equal to the cail o( the
country, and u.ice more has gone fjrtH from
its chamber tu? procuiuatiou, that iu their
counsels and action tue nation snail fiud safe-
The debate on tat qUvaUoa ia the Senate
has been most ardent, k.nd very considerable
feeling manifested on all Lnds. Thi ia to
be regretted, but waa doubles inseparable
from the character cf the contest waged there.
It was not between parties but miauled with
it some of the .bitterness of 1 internal strife.
We give- this morning the telegraphic abstract
of Mr. Douglas' speech,, wbica waa iuadver
tently omitted yesterday without our knowl
edge. He waa somewnat intemperate in bis
language, manifesting unusual feeling. He
is reported to have said :
Iu cencluv.ou, he would ask who made tbia
question of Kansas with the Lecompton Con
stitution a party test question? Is it the right
of the adninistr&uon to decide what are par
ty measures, and what are not? When John
Tyler attempted to lay down what is a party
measure, he was defeated. I the Pacific
Railroad a nartv measure ? We will see if
the guillotine is to be applied to each
man who does not yidd implicit support
to it. Loan Bill, the Army Bill, and otners.
have more right to-be calleu party questions
than this bill By what right dots the Ad
ministration interfere w-ith the Constitution?
It was sent direct to Cougresa, and the Presi
dent only got hold of t by Surveyor-Gen
Calhoun. It wa addressed to Congress di
rect, and vet, because fceuators and Itepres
tfntatives uo not vield obtdieuco to the dicta
tion of the Aduiiuittration, ia a matter in
which the President is not called to act. tb-y
are subjected to a proscription. The Presi
dent has his duties to perioral under the Con
stitution, is responsible to his constituents.
Senators have their duties to the sovereign
States they represent. Representatives have
their duties to perform, and the rresideut na
no mote right to prescribe a tert to Senators
and Representatives, tbau we have to apply
to him a test faith. Wero we to do so. would
he net rebuke our impertinence ? W hen the
time comes that the President can change our
allegiance from the sovereign States to him
self, what becomes of State aovereiguty ?
and because he who does not pay allegiauee
to the Executive which he docs not owe, waa
to be called a traitor to his party, and be
readout of it by all the newspapers that share
the government pp, I the question to be
asked every petty ofilcs holder, "are you
Douglas enemy ?" If not, off goes head. Iu
England, the people's representatives can
hurl the aiminif-trxtion from power ia aa
hour. Yet here, they who refuse to obey
are rebels.

Bramdt that makes men nowt. The man
who was once fortunate enough to get a drink
of good brandy at a stage house between
Shasta and Sacramento, on presenting him
self at the sanctum of the Shasta (Ca.) will
be rewarded with a very extensive piece ' of
gold bearing quartz. Since the day of 1849,
wayside hotels have kept villianons stuff.
Now, however, it is said to be preternaturally
diabolical. It not only kills at the counter,
but occasionally "fetches" a fellow fifty feet
distant, with a stream of water between. A
perfect idea of its quality may be obtained
from the following incident, which occurred
between 'dealers doing business at stands five
miles apart, between Shasta and Red Bluffs .

The admission of Kansas under the Le
compton Constitution has become a party is
sue, and under that issue the party must
stand or fall. On the success of that meas
ure which ia emblazoned on our banners, the
most sacred and valued interests of the Re
public, and the peace and prosperity of the
Union depend. On the defeat of thi issue
theBlnck Republicans build their hopes of
success in the Presidential campaign of I860.
Does it not then behoove every Union-loving
man to rally to the support of the Adminis
tration. There is but one course for Demo
crats to pursue, and that is.t0 6astaio the Ad
ministration and assist in bripging peace and
repose once more to our distracted country.
Now when the country is threatened with
danger, there is the greater necessity for ev
ery Democrat to tand by the Administration.
