IMPORTANT.
The Democracy of Cambria must not for
get, that they have a high and important du
ty to perform next Saturday. No Democrat
should neglect attending the Delegate Elec
tion iu the district iu which he resides, and
laboring honestly and faithfully, to secure the
appointment of men as Delegates to the Coun
ty Convention, who will fearlessly sustain
Democratic principles, regardless of the dic
tation of brawling demagogues and aspiring
politicians. Men who de.sert the party in tie
hour of darkness and trial should not be trus
ted in the hour of success. The marines who
deserted the good old ship Democracy the
moment they thought she was in a sinking
condition, should not now be preferred above
those who stood faithfully on de;k during the
darkest hour, fi-ailessly sustaining James Bu
chanan, "Tub Pilot who Wkatukued the
Si OEM.''
It may be thought that wc speak plainly
on- this subject We wish to do eo we
mean exactly what we say In this age of
fanatical isms and one-idea politicians, the
Democratic Party's only security is in faith
fully and consistently adhering to its princi
ples. The moment its members pursue a
timid, cowardly and .vacciHating course, the
moueut any one of its principles is ignored,
the days of the Party are cumbered. It has
already suffered many defeats and trying re
verses, aud, doubtless, the future has many
more in store for itl But in the past its re
verses, were always short-lived; the sober
second thought cf the people soon enabled it
to again triumph, and gain its former ascen
dancy. And so it will be ia the future, if it
continues true to its principles aud faithfully
performs i's exalted mission of guardian and
protector of the Union and Constitution.
Tbe Democratic Party should never be
di.-dieartened by the temporary success of any
or all the is.ns arrayed against it. A few
years ago Know Nothiugism swept the entire
Union like a tornado. Iu almost every State
of the Republic it was triumphant, and its
members asserted that is was already placed
dii a firm basis, never to be shaken. But the
Democratic Party refused to bow before the
Ktorm, and firmly adhered to its principles
The result wss, that in a few months the
Democratic Party was again triumphant, and
Know Nothiugism almost numbered among
the things that wetc. And so it will always
be, No itm or one-idea faction, composed of
fauatics and office-seeking demagogues, ever
can secure a permanent triumph over the
Democratic Party, so long us it supports iu
men and principles fearlessly and without
thrinking.
At the present time, wheu demagogues
who were willing to sell the Democratic Par
ty a few months ago to the Black Republi
can for a price, who joined Horace Greely
& Co , in shouting over a supposed defeat of
the Democratic Party, are setting themselves
up as its leaders, wc feel that the time has
arrived when all true Democrats should take
a bold and decided stand to preserve the pu
rity and iutegrity of the Party ; if they do
tiot do so now they will lament, when too late
the folly of procrastination. Wc sincerely
Lope the Convention next Tuesday will be !
composed of Delegates who will sec that the
principles of the Democratic Party are sus
tained, and who will scorn to pursue a timid
and vaccillating course at a crisis like the
present.
The pursuing of a fearless and manly course
on the part of the members of the Convention
will not disorganize the Party, but will rath
er teud to strengthen it. If they stand by
the Democratic Party and the President of
it choice, they will be performing their whole
duty and redeeming the trust "reposed ia them
. by the Democracy of. Cambria. Without
- such an endorsement the contest next fall will
be reduced to a mere -scramble for the spoils
and emoluments of office, among a. few i:di
riduala who think tbej were pointed out by
a uprrial" provdcvce,tt "tv be people.
A TRUE PHILANTHROPIST
JTMT While in Loretto one day last week,
wc paused for a moment before the monument
erected to the memory of the Rev. De-rnetriuB
A. Gallitzin, by the Catholic Coiigregatiou
of that place, of which he was the founder,
and for man' years the faithful and zealous
Pastor; suffering all the trial and privations
which the pioneers of the Allegbanies encoun
tered. Tie Monument tears the following
simple, unostentatious, but apprcpriate
7
senption :
SACRED TO TUE MEMOKT OF
DEMETRIUS AUGUSTIN GALLITZIN,
Of the uc bio Russian family of that name.
Born at the Hague, December 20th, 1770,
Died here, May 6th, 1840.
A loving flock, reaping the fruits of his all
bacritiieing zeal, elected this monument as
a tribute of reppect to his virtue, and a me
morial of their gratitude.
Thar Gallitzin was one of that remarka
ble class of men, who, "declining fame are
courted by her," no enc familiar with his
history will deny. With the noblest blood of
Russia coursing through his veins, and the
assurance that the future had immense wealth,
honors and diguities in store for him, in short
everything calculated to gratify the pride and
ambition of mortal man. he isolated himself
from the gay and fashionable world, and be
came an humble missionary among the caks
aud nine trees of the Alleghames. He soon
drew around him a colony of honest, indus
trious, but bumble pioneers, who, encouraged
by his example, guided by his counsels, -and
often supported by his wealth, which he re
garded as theirs not his, succeeded in con
verting a desolate and uninviting wilderness
into a bright, smiling and fruitful region of
country, now the abode of happy thousands,
lie never sought for or desired any inter
course with or praise from the "great ones'
of this world, but devoted his whole atten
tion to the iuculcatiou of the principles of
Christian fervor, truth and charity, and in
caring for the spiritual and temporal wants
of the infant colony with which Le had sur
rounded himself. lie was always active and
self-saciificiug in the discharge of his iuis
fcionary duties. Uc was constantly endeav
oring to induce the siufut, the timid, the
worldly around him to tix the-ir hopes ou a
"Kingdom not of the world," cn a "diadem
of glory that should never fade away;' incul
caciug the doctrines and truths Le piojiul;-.-ted
both by precept and example ;
'And as a bird each fond endearment tries.
To tempt her new Iledgcd ifl'spiing to the skies,
He tiiei each art, reproved each dull delay,
Allured to brighter worlds aud led the way."
- Yet, notwithstanding his humility and the
obscurity iu. which he lived and died, the
name of the Rev. DEMETRIUS AUGUS
TIN GALLITZIN will be immortal, aud the
works which he penned and published to the
world, will be as eudunug. perhaps more en-
ring, .nan tue language in wtiicu tney were
first given to the world II:s fame is now
world-wide, and even during his lifetime Ik
attracted not. little attention, notwithstan
ding his efforts to prevent it.
Aud how did he thus aeqatre fame and im
mortality without seeking for or desiring
them ? The aLwer is obvious. He was a
true benefactor of maukiud. He saeriliced
every worldly or selfish feeding implanted in
the breast of man on tbe alt r of Reliim and
Humauity. He labored to promote the hap
piness of his fellow men, with a self sacrifi
cing zeal, and they still gratefully cherish hia
memory, and experience the iuflueuce of his
teachings and example. It is impossible to
gaze arouud iu a thoughtful mood.on the vil
lage aud surrounding country which were
the principal theatre of his mis.-ioi.ary labors,
without feeling that the past is annihilated
that the great mind still presides "that the
great presence is s::.'.i with us ;"
"Go strew his ashes to the wind,
Whose word and voice have served maLkind,
'Alio is lie dead, whose glorious mind
Lifts thine on high ?
To live iu hearts wc leave behind,
Is not to die."
THE RUTLAND CONVENTION.
We firmly believ
that uo region of coun-
try in the Union is worse adapted to the
growth cf fanaticism thau Cambria county.
Neither Abolition or Know Nothing fanati
cism ever succecled in acquiring a permanent
footing on her soil, ar.d Spiritualism and Free
Lovfcism never attempted to cross her boun
dary. Happily the Mountaineers are blessed
with too much common sense to be led astray
by tha insane ravings of men who are always
ruonomauiacs on every subject they espouse.
A Convention of Free Lovers, Spiiitualists &
Abolitionists assembled at Rutland, Vermont.
recently, at which a number of laughable,
silly aud disgusting thiugs were said and
done. As an illustration ot "fanaticism run
mad," we publish the platform adopted by the
Convention in full:
INDIVIDCALITV.
1. Resolt(d, That the authority of each in
dividual soul is absolute and final, in deciding
all emetions as to what is true or false in
principle, and right or practice. Therefore,
the individual, the Church or the State, that
attempts to control tbe cpinious or the prac
tice ot any man or woman, by authority of
power outside of hia or her cwn soul, is guil
ty I a flagrant wrong,
slavery.
2. Resulted. That Slavery is

EPIKITTJALISM,
3. Raolvcd, That the phenomena of what
is called mdern Spiritualism bare bundaut-
ly demonstrated the fact that an intelligent
intercom so between embodied and disembod
ied human spirits is both possible and actual.
That the couvic ion of the possibility aud ac
tuality of spirit intercourse is' opposed to all
despotism, impurity and sensualism, and cou
duce3 to the inauguration of the only autnor
ity consistent with the human bquI, as favor
able to souud morality. . . ' t
WAR AND DiATH PL'MSIIUKXT. -. -
4. Resolved, That it is aJLw.nyiHWrong and
inexpedient for man to take Jth; life of mau ;
therefore capital punishment, war, ami all the
preparations forwar, are wrong aud iucon
sisteut with the interests of individuals, and
society 1
MARRIAGE.
5. Rciohcd That the only true and natu
ral marriage is an exclusive conjugal love be
twecn one man and one womau ; and tbe on
ly true borne is the isolated home based on
this exclusive love.
MATERNITY.
6. Reschetl, That the sacred and impor
tant right of woman is her right to decide for
herself how often, aud ui.der what circum
stances, she shall assume the responsibility
and be subjected to the sufferings aud cares
of maternity ; aud mau can commit no great

therefore,
Resolved. That immediate steps should be
takeu to remove that error and its consequen
ces, aud place woman politically, industrial
ly, educationally and socially on perfect equal

TUE EIBLE, "
8. Resolved, That nothing is true or right,
and uothiug is false or wrong, because it is
sanctioned or condemned by the Bible; there
fore the Bible is powerless to prove any doc
trine to be tiuc, or any practice to be right,
aud it should never be quoted for that pur
pose. FREE TRADE. .
(f. Resohfd, That natural justice, individ
ual and social morality, tbe peace aud mate
rial wealth aud prosperity ot the nations, tho
spirit of human brotherhood, demand that all
international tariffs be immediately aud for
ever abolished, and that Governments iu all
thttr various departments b supported by di
rect taxation.
LAND REFORM.
10. Resolved, 'I hut the earth, like the air
and light, belongs iu common to the childrcu
of meu ou it; each liumau being is alike in
dt pendent; each child, by virtue of his' ex
istence, has an equal aud inalienable right to
so much of the t-aitu's surface as is conveni
ent by propel culture to his support aud per
fect uevelopmeut, aud uoue has a right to any
more ; therefore all laws authorizing and sus
taining private property iu land, for ihe pur
pose ot speculation, aud which prevent men
aud womcu from possessing auy land without
paying for it are as ui just as would be laws
compelling them to pay lor air and light, aud
ought to be at ouce torcver repealed.
TUE SABBATH.
Whereas, The Jewish Sabbath is confes
sedly abolished by the Gospel Di.-pensation ;
and
Whereas, The eame authority set. apart
uo other day to be similarly observed, there
fyre, 11. Resolved, Tint all efforts of church
and priests to enforce our observance- of the
Christian Sabbath, as of Dive appointment, is
a flagrant-violation of individual light, and
must be prosecuted in a ibshouest disregard of
the spirit and positive teachings tf the New
Testament,
Opposition State Convention.
The Krte Constitution, decidedly the ablest
Republican paper iu North 1 eunsylvania,
whose editor is one ot the most luliuential
of his party, is out iu strong terms agaiuaf
the propestd Union State Convent;oo, to as
semble at llanisburg ou the 14th pf next
month. After announcing the ,.pr jtsct, and
the means by which it was obtained, it uses
vhe following iauguage: "For one wo enter
our protest iu advauce agaiust any afiiliaiiou,
coalition, union or fusion with such political
reuegndes aud traitois as Swope and Flanni
gau. Thrice have the Iret meu ot the Siate

been betrayed. If they houeatly desire a
uuiou of all the opponcuts of the . Adminis
tration iu thy preseut campaign, they ought,
iu view of tb past, to have the prudence to
keep their names from any published calls.
The Republicans can set it dowu as an estab
lished lact that Sanderson Flaunigau Swope
laciiou will uever keep faiih in any political
arrangement. They are partisan guerillas,

eruedby hout-st motives iu political action.
They have cheated us iu three campaigns,

will allow themselves agaiu to be gulled
by such tricksters.
"We are williug to unite with all honest
opponents of the t-xtc Lsion of Slavery and
co-operate to overthrow the present National
Administration; but we are not willing to
join hands or associate with venal leaders
who make a show of friendship only to be
tray. The leading politicians may make
what arrangement they please in this matter,
but if thev iu any way ignore the cardinal
principles of Republicanism, or if they ex
punge from the tiag the motto of 'No more
61a ve States,' they will deserve .ud receive
defeat. We march to the batiie under no
mongrel flag. They will fiad thousands of
staunch and true freemen iu the North au J
West who will repudiate any evasive, un
meaning platform, uo matter who tbe candi
dates are, We warn the Bepublicaus to be
ware of the scheme "
We imagine the tricksters who have en
deavored to take the lead of opposition to the
Democratic paity, will find after all, that
their self glorified patriotism will not produce
the exact effect they desigued. That. "glori
ous victory" some of their papers claim, will
not be wou with quite as much ease as they

The Const it utionntl looks unfavorably at
the European politics of England. "The in
fluence of England, it remarks, "in tbe general
business of tho world is maintained by the al
liance she 9 able to contract on the Continent
It is with tbe aid of allies thct cbe has foun
ded her power, and that sl: maintains it,
even now, where so many elements of decay
reveal themselves in her interior organization
and in her remote territories. .If, then, it,
should be proved that this power, long consid
ered the safeguard of Earcpeau interests, ex
ists ouly to impair theui, will they not be li
able to witness the bss of those sympathies
of which she has such immediate need? Great
Britain, surrounded with a circle of govern
ments, civilized, but unsympathizing, may
end bv being isolated in all diplomatic ques
tions; and the world may cease to believe ia
her infiuence
Tbe Prase discovers matter of reflection
cn the European relatious of England. Af
ter epitomizing the state of h-r foreign inter
course, it refers to the termination of the en
tente, cordiale with France, observing; "it
cannot be otherwise than that this event will
have the most disastrous consequences to
Great Britain, chiefly because it must oblige
her to contract an intimate alliance with Aus
tria. England, in order to exert her due in
fluence in European politic, has never been
able to dispense with a Continental alliance.
Net daiing to count on Russia to whose ani-mo.-ity
she has just established new claims,
and voluntarily alienating herself from Frauee
she has no eh ico; the Austriau alliance is a
matter of necessity -" Glancing at the weak
ness and instability of the Austrian Empire,
its want of cohesion, and its inability to prove
of anv use to an ally because of rhe perpetual
necessity of maintaining its own existence,
the "resse denounces the alliance as the ne
gation of all the previous liberal policy of the
English Government', and stripping the mak
from her hypocritical prcteuces iu that regard,
it concludes:
"It will go hard, but this alliance will
prove fatal to England. A people canuot,
with impunity, set itself up as the antagonist
of all the living energies, the auxiiiar' of all
effete influences. If the peace of Europe be
not disturbed, England will only peril her
reputation iu the game.. But if any unfore
seen event give occasion to war; if a general
insurrection of the rajahs imperils the exis
tence of Turkey; if Italy, urged to despair,
rise once more against Austria; if France,
oftseri-ant 'f Mc univtrstd discontent, seeks to
provoke a recoii&tructioii oj the Lurojean

cumbeied with the mischievous baggage of
her Iudiau empire iu revolt, aud entering the
li.-ts to enforce the authoriry of the tlultau
over a Christian population, aud of the Aus
trian Emperor over Italy, an authority equal
ly valid in either case?''
A Dr. des Biulais, who was a surgeon on
the ship Reg ina CaUi, whose capture, with a
cargo of mutinied Afiican apprentices-, by au
English vessfl, we have already lecorued,
writes, among other iuterestii.g particulars,
that the whole cargo, consisting of 205 ne
groes, were taken from Jjibrria icith the con
sent of the Rnsidtrntof Tutt State, and most
of them had received ton. eduiativn, being
able to sign their eng tgevient.
The 5lontcnegrins retired, between the
14th and 20th ult., to their mountains, leav
ing at Grahovo only 80 meu to protect the
part of the booty which had not beeu sent to
Cettinye. Notvvithstrnding their departure,
the rayabs of Zubsi and Grahovo sent, on
the 14th an expedition against the village of
Korenci. which was completely ravaged on
the 15th and 15th. All the bodies of the
Turks, which were lying about iu great num

A private letter, from French gtm'lernan to
a friend in Paris, states: "In spite of the
oflk-ial n"d unofficial denials in the French
journal, the activity in maritime armaments
does not tht less continue A sum of 75,
OOO.OOOf. is applied to the blindage (sheath,
iug with iron phtc?) of the ships, and 12
OO'b.OOOf. to tho construction of steam ma
chinery of 150. COO, and 900 horse power.
A naval man of high standing in bis profess
ion, and of high official rank, said a few days
back that France wanted about IS months
more to transform the whole of her fleet, and
to finish the ships iu the docks. Then, he
sr.id, France may boast of a maritime force
such as she has not had since LouisXVI."
,. The Mineral Wealth of Sonora.
Major Steen has given the editors of the
Santa Fe Gazette a very interesting account
of the mineral wealth of Sonora. He ex
presses the opinion that Sonora is far more
prolific of gold and silver than California, and
if a territory of ihe United States, would yield
'many millions .annually. - He says he has seen
single lumps of gold taken from the mines
there worth from 3000 to 5000. He like
wise states that be had seen a cord of silver
ia bars, and all mined without machinery.
There is a strong desire on the part of the meu
of property in Sonora to declare the State in
dependent, and then, a la Texas, to annex it
to tho Ur.ited States There are men there
who would give a' million of dollars for the
accomplishment of such an end. Under Mex
ican rule." with revolution the main element of
society, their property is comparatively worth
less. Under the protecting care of our system
of jurisprudence and civil government, it
would be invaluable.
The Opium Monopoly.
The China Mail , of a late date, says:
"Another and very curieius case . conuected
with the Opium Ordinauce came on this day,
before the chief magistrate. Cbun-tai-kwong,
the farmer of the opium privilege, summoned
Mr. lloey, of the Victoria Hotel, for breach
of the provisions of the ordinance. The com
plainant's counsel state.! that the defendant
claimed to exercise the privilege of preparing
and selling prepared opium, uuder a license
from the complaiuaut The complainant's
case was that the license was void, the defen
deut having observed neither the regulations
of the Government nor of the monopolist ; al
so, that the license had been obtained by the
defendant on representations which made the
graut void.ou quilable grounds; and lastly,
that the license had been revoked. The evi
dence of the complainant was taken, in sup
port of his ca.se, which occupied the court un
til its rising, wheu tbe case was adjourned till
to-morrow. .. One valuable fact brought out
was that the monopolist, who paid only 33,
000 for hia privilege, has already been ottered
25,000 for that portion of it which relates to
(be exportation of opium."
The News from Europe.
Having received our full files of European
journals by the Arabia, vre make ample aud
iutereetiug additions to tbe pynopsia which
has already been published. ,
The London Times of 17th of June says:
The state of affairs in France since the
attentat of the I4ih of January last has ex
hibited a gradual and steady decline, equally
painful to those w ho-witrst aud fraught with
anxious consideration to -fbose who feel the
increasing weight wi;h whih the govcrnmenf
presses on its subjects. t may have been
wc hope we have been, mistaken; but it
certainly has appeared to ns as if the French
government since that unhappy day has di
vided its atteution between measures of pre
caution, which uo one cau blume it for adop
ting, and attempts to inspire terror which in-
( voluntarily carry back tho mind to a period
i history which we had hoped wasse-Ld up,
never to be reopened.
The Paris 1 resse of the 15th of June says:
During more thau two centuries Austria j
was distinguished by her regard for France.
Our language, our customs, our literature
ruled unq-jo.-tioae-i. This tended to soften j
the harshness and the excesses of ilia -ernmeutal
system In 1S30 this influeuce
commenced to wane; but, nevertheless, the
Frenchman could still hold up his head iu
the streets of Vicuua. To-day it is sought
to cxtinguh it entirely, and English influ
ence is vi.-ib!y dethroning that of France
Our wares, our books, our customs have ceas
ed to obtain preference in Vienna.. The En
glish tutor ha replaced iu great families the
Freueh tuto; English literature has supplan
ted that of France. The Austrian capital is
now utter'v given up to everything English.
Doubtless this brutal Anglomania does not
please all, even in Vb-uua. Sincere Catholics
deplore it iu particular But their complaints
are lost in the mania which has seized upon
the government to which they appeal, for the
English alliance cannot be purchased too
dearly.
The Liverpool Times, of lO'.h of June,
reports the loss of tbs steamer -Yew; York as
follows:
"A ferious ace idei.t bt ft l the screw steamer

ed on her passage, without accident, until,
in a dense fig. he ran ashe.re about three
miles east ef the mull of Kintyrc lighthouse
The vessel ran vtry far up ou the rocks, and
lies at present in a dangerous position, as the
least wind in that rocky locality will render
her a prey to the waves. The passenger
wore safely landed, aud a messenger was dis
patched to Can pht lltown, about thirteen or
fourteen miles from the scene of the accident.
The steamer Celt proceeded at once from
Campbellfown to the spot, ami took on board
about 100 of the passengers, whom she
brought up to Glasgow.

Mr. Hand, who witnessed the approach of
a recent whirlwind in Lexington and Caldwell
coun'ics. Mo., describes it as beiug accm
pauied by a cloui which resembled a black
wail along the horizon, when first seen. As
it approached the air was filled with fiyiug
limbs-, leaves and dut. Mr. Haul's wagon,
lying in the track of the tempest, was seen
to rise from the earth and sail along tha air
as if endowed with wings. The next instant
the log house, in which the spectator of tbis
strange phenomenon was standing, wis en-
I v el oped m complete datkue-ss in the bosom of
the tempest. lucre vcre eighteen persons
in it, whose cries and screams of terror,
mingled with the rush of the storm and the
crash of the falling timbers, were fearful to
hear. The houc was torn to pieces down to
the third round of logs fioni the bottom, aud
yet, strange to saj', of all those within its
walls not one was dangerously hurt, though
several were bruised more or less. After the
cloud had passed, the flying wagon was found
300 jards fiom the spot where it had been
first caught up, and the kitchen skillet was
picked up MXty yards fiom the house. The
storm was accompauied by a heavy fall of
rain, which deluged low fields, forced creeks
out of their bank?, and swept away bridges.
The course of the whirlwind for such it
seems to have been was from the northwest
to the fcouteast. Everything in its path,
houses, fences, and trees, were overturned.
In- Caldwell county the dwelling of John
George, a two aud a half story house of stone.
had its roof blown off aud tbe walls crushed

The Right ok Skaucu. Tbe Londo Times
says, iu regard to the principle of non-intercourse
with our ships;
The British Government, as it would seem
by. Mr. 'V itegcrald's statcmcut of last night,
arc uot only prepared to acknowledge the
principle, but to give the best evidence of
thejr sincerity by .modifying their arrange
ments so as even to preclude the possibility
of collision. In a word, they will withdraw
the- Llo.kading squadron from, the Cuban tea
ters. At least Mr Fitzgerald told the House
last night that this poiut was now under con
sideration of the Government, but in such a
manner as to lcavo no doubt iu the minds of
hie hearers that all uesitott-Mi on th matter
is at an end.
