The object of that article is to inform the public th:il tho Democratic organization in this cmn?j- ia distracted, split, rent asunder and that I caused that state of things. It also eoataiii3 the foHo'ving scnteuce : "there was no necessity for any split iu the ranks of the party in this county." lift me congratulate you on having at laft il rnm ir. -i!i-.-isr. fiKiorva t ion uttered a sersiblo tinth at least oi;cc dut-ipi your cditoiiil career. This fact should inspire your friendi -.vith hope. It warrants ihc belief t'int you are not gone past rcdemptl.i!i,an-l that it is not too lute "to send the your. Mac-i.i.-.bc! to srhool ;m ycu may ytt b? itilucc 1 to fu'osi-io into a useful Detnocrat. While you deny tho ceccs.-ity for this 'fplit,' you preu-.isc that it exists ; you speak of - the 'uiCiC'j.I?y which now unfortunately divides tho Democracy of this county." You take too much tor granteJ ; though bat an hum bhj S"!Jicr iu tho ranks of that Democracy, I am iVee cmui'i to deny the existence of this division. Let us cast an "yc on the politi- Jcalboiizen of this county," and see if any storm-clouds are looming up. Let us exam ine the record. We will assume for the sake i;( the argument, that the 4th day of Febru ary, 1853, the day on which the jo:.nt-stoek concern you ate employed to conduct, Lad it 'lornattcn,'" marks an era in the party hialory cf this county, and will examiuewbat was the- pooiticu cf the Democracy here pre vious to that day, aud subsequently. Previous to that day, five newspapers were published in Cambria count-. One of them va3 a tVroci ms Know Nothing and Dlack Uepullic;m orran ; the other taur were Dem ocratic, and all l"hi!y a'-.d firmly -sustained Mi-. ljue'.iana:i and U'11 Kansas policy. The 1 1 K. N ora'.i of course opposed both. Oa the 4th cf February the number cf newspapers in the county was increased to six ly the apparition of the "3louutaineer." That p-;per took ground against the adminis tration of 3lr Duchanan, on its vital meas ure, which opposition it has continued up till this time. At this day tho count stands thus: 4 Democratic papers which sustain Mr. liu chauau's policy, and two which oppose it ; one of these ca lling itself democratic, but wor king harmoniously with the notorious Swank agaiust the democratic organization. So that the dtmocrasio Journals cf this county fcustuintd Mr Duchanan's policy pre vious to the appearance of your paper-aud they do so yet. Thero has bceu no split there. The 4th No. of your "3lou cer," pub lished on February liihh, contained a call with several cauiu to it, asking those Democrats who were-oppscd to 31 r. Duehanau'a Kansas policy, to meet in the Court -House, in Fb ensLurg, ou March 21. That meeting has never yit lecn JttlJ; and many gentlemen who sigued the call have published that their signatures were obtaiued through misrepre sentation. Ou tho other hanvl, a Mass Meeting of the Demcerats cf the couuty, regularly held un der a call from the Chairman of the County Committee, on Monday, March 1st, at the Court House, in Ebeiisburg, un.amm0u.3ly adopted Resolutions spproviug of Mr. Lu- stick." . Tho "difficulty which now unfortunately divides the Democracy of this county" bttug thus conclusively shown by the record, not to have any existence outside of j-our imagi nation; your charge that I am the author cf the difficulty, is of course an absurdity. It is one of those assertions without foundation which have disgraced your paper. Iu order to save time and trouble in the fu- the live thunder, leaping from the summit of the Alleghanies, was to shake the apitol from Joins to base and cause the occupant of the White House to awake with terror? and how J. C. Noon took tho wind out of your sail an l beat Mr. Stoke's time by making the adjournment? And yet-you have discovered that "it was agreed that it should be adjourn ed without doing any business." If that meet ing was unnecessary why was it call, d ? What lure,' let us now endf aver to place a correct j was the use of holding a meeting, if as you estimate upon the truthfulness of your antcee-j say, nothing was to be done .at it? Why dents, when they are unsupported by other cvi- hunt up men aid bring them together mere dence As we are now on your track, let us as the huntsman says, "try back" and overhaul the record you have been making for yourself since the ith of February; wo produce here some elegant extracts, which will be found to be instructive and entertainiH. On the 9th day of February last, the Dem ocratic County Committee met at ;Le Court House in Fbenslurg to elect Conferees to meet at Tyrone city with others from Bluir and Clearfield caunties. They elected three conferees and as usual in such cases, instruct ed them by resolutions. In reference to the matter, you published in. the "2 i number of the Mountaineer, Feb ruary llsh, the following. iCaT "In pursuance of a previous notice, a portion of the Democratic County Committee met at the Court House on Monday. There were but four members present, as there was not a quorum, thero of ccu se could be noth ing done." The next week, ycu published Febuary 18, the 31 No. of the Mountaincei ; containing a loug article, showing tbafthe committee, in your opinion, instead of doing "nothing" had Uiiu clone entirely 100 umcu : tuo ar ticU is too long to quote here; the public will however recollect it. Three two articles contradict each other point Lhir.h. They cannot both be true. Which of them did you then, or do you now wish the reoplo to believe ? For the sake of brevity--we will call this Ida the first, or No. 1. Ic that samo number, (Feb. IS,) you at tack myself; speak of my having orders from government, &e., at;d you ray : "It was in fulfilment of that ogiet-ment, that the meet ing in December was aJjourncd." I was forced to reply publicly to the perso nal abuse contained in that article, aud in the reply reminded 30U that jour brother, Jas. C. Noon, Fsq. had made tho motion ou which the meeting w as adjourned. The next week, February 25th, you made some strictures ou nry reply ; among other thiugs, you speak of that operation of Jas. C. Noou and jousay: What the motives of 'James C..Noon, Esq.' were, we know not, nor do we care." Here is another contradiction. Which do you desire people to believe ; that the meet ing was adjourned iu fulfilment of some bar gaiu between myselfaud persons not yet dU closed.ur that youdo uot kuow nor care about the motives of the gentleman who did it? We will call this Lie the 2d, or No. 2. After resting mouth, you have concluded to try it ou another time. In the "Moun taineer" of last week, dated March 25th, you again publish au article for my benefit you say : "Every boacst Democrat looked upoa it as a question about w hich men could and did honestly differ, without iu any way, dividing them, as against a common fie It was there fore, unnecessary to have any expressiou from the prty of this county, and wheu a meeting was called in December for the purpose.it was agreed that it should be aJjourtied without mg &c. whera I have' acted in a manner to insure the displeasure of the Mountaineer, there were other men who acted as I did who were a3 efficient as I was yet t'uy are all dismissed with a passing - remark, while the full vials of your wrath arc poured "cut upon my head.

Further . an article appears in your paper of March 4th, purpoitiug to be the proceed ing? cf a Democratic meeting Lcll somewhere in this county,, at which resolutions are said to bave beeu offered by John S Ilhey, Eiq., and uaudmcusly adopted ; among them is one endorsing the legislative course cf cur Sena tor, Hou. Johu Cresswcll, and our Represen tative, IIou. (Jeorge N. Smith. Nbw, it is well known that both these gentlemen have uniformly and to the fullest extent, sustained Mr. Buchanan's Kansas policy whenever it was discussed in either branch of our State Legislature. So ebat the record of Cambria County, as made up from public journals, public meet ings and'tLc course cf her Iljpresc'ntitivo in the Legislature, shows beyond the possibility fui contradiction, that her Democacy sustain ed the Administration of Mr. Uuchanau pre vious to tho first appearance of your sheeny end that position they at tbis day hold- Ileie we have another statement in regard to the adjournment of the celebrated Decem ber mt-etiog. What are. the readers of the "Mouutaiueer" todoiu these premises? Are they to disbelieve the ether two yams, and attach credence to this latest bantling, or must they reject it, and but here the ques tion recurs, which of tho other two is the original Johu Dimoud? Here, as Long Lumpkin would say is "a concatenation ac cordingly," a confusion worse confounded a complicati'u of difficulties most intolerable and not to bo endured. Iu the first place, you say, that famous adjournment was brought about because I had received orders, &c , then J: C Noon does it. and you neither -know or care about his motives." and finally jou announce that it was effected by previous niutualagrecment ! This good-sized whop per, we will call-Lie 3d. or No. 3. This No. 3. is 00& of the coolest Lies, on record. Do you think that people have fbr tielratrafcjacnts at this time, to de nounce Mr. Buchanan? How tho . name cf ly to tell them that they were not needed, and might go about their business ? Of a verify, the writer cf theartiele in your paper of March 25th, possesses a talent lor indiscriminate falsehoods. which if properly cultivated will cause Raron Mnn Chauscn, Joe. Smith and all the great profcsslcnal liirs to "abscond into Z3 shadow.' Apropos. A remark here in the interest of your readers, may not be out of place Those who read only ymr paper will imbibe fear fully mixed up notions of thing3 generally , unless you adopt some plan to guide th ;m, and indicate to them the small modicum of) rYt;rt which inip.uious necessity may occasion ally compel you to insert. There is an an ecdote told of an Indian Chief, with whom, in fanner times, a governor of the then Fro vince of Pennsylvania, had directed several treaties to be made. The Indian went thro' all the forms, but systematically violated all the agreements. Finally the Governor went iu person, had a big talk, and concluded a treaty with the red skin; the ink with which the instrument vras drawn up and signed hap pen d to be n d. The chief being asked if he would consider the treaty mentioned, as more biuding thao the- others, answered that he would, because when he made his marks with red ink, it n cant something ; said he, "black ink no good for Indian, ugh '" and bounded off into the forest.. Now how would it bo were you to act on this hint, and adopt the Indian's plan ? When you priut what is true and honest and reliable use red ink then your readers will uutier- I stand where they are. The red ink, it 13 time, would be expensive , but then, you know, you have occasion for so little of it ! Similar extracts from your record might be multiplied to a great exteut, but it. would be useless. Beyond all doubt enough has been produced to show clearly as a mathematical demonstration, that au assertion found iu 3-our paper, is not. in tho absence of other cvideacr, entitled to-auy credence. Now then, what becomes of yonr charge, "It was therefore Gen. Richard White who threw the apple of discord into the ranks ?" The record bhows it to bo a wilful, deliberate, malicious falsehood, uttered to screen your self from the consequences of your own im prudence or venality. Your course aud object has been a mys tery to me. I cannot believe that you have undertaken this crusade against a private cit izen, of j-our own motion; that puppositiou would violate probability and the laws of hu man nature. Until the publication of your first attack, I was your friend, and you knew it. You confided in and. counselled with me, politically ; I assisted in making the reputa tion which ycu had I uever gave you cause of quarrel, openly or secretly, directly or im pliedly. No man cau believe that you begau this hostility, whereiu so much bitterness is tuauifustcd, merely because I could not stc eye to eye with you on u question iu regard to which yourself eavs : "Men could aud did j honestly elidr." If your-object was to break down Mr. Bu chanan's strength and popularity in the couu y crushing hi3 friend., why did j-ou sin gle me out? He has friends in this county who bave been Titii him in suushine and iu storm through good and evil report, for more than a centurywho have"growu gray fight j ing bis battles, and sonre of them I know are near and ought to be dear to you. He has frieuds here who have been such, Jar longer than I have been who have beeu more ac tive in hi: behalf who'were more cap obi j of cf aiding him than I am who arc more able to direct public opinion than I ara men to whom the people of Cambiia always look for advice and couucil, whose names arc house hold words in the county, and who aro its I boast, ornament and pride, abroad. During the brief existence of your paper it has beeu ebaracterizd by a steady opposition to the policy of thj National Administration, & remarkable for tho violence of it's onslaught upon myself. Every other friend of Mr. Bu chanan has been let off easy. In the meet- cause of quarrel with me. nor I with ycu, I am constrained to believe that you are doing mean and dirty work for other mtn. I am constrained to believe that you are being used as a tool by a few men, hardly half a dozen, who imagiue that they bave grievance? to revenge against me, but who have no just foundation for hostility, uuless it be because I have rendered them favors and services which they cau never repay a title to the ingratitude & U'ldying hate of men sticnger than al others, is I believe the lci son taught by the biitory of poor bumau na ture.
