To day wo place at our masthead the tick et nominated by the County Convention yes terday. It is, we believe, composed of reli able democrats, and wc therefore promptly announce our determination to extend to it an cnthusiastio support Having stood by tho Democratic party when Lojus Democrat? wero makiug common cause with KnowNoth- ! ings and Black Republican?, "we will not, of course, abandon it in the hour of success ; we pledge every man on the ticket our en thusiastic support. In supporting Democratic men and meas ares, wo never pursued a timid or vacillating I course, and wo will not do so now. What ever of good or evil the future may have ia fctore for us, wo are determined to stand by the ticket nominated yesterday. The Con vection endorsed our course with regard to tho National Administration. We feel proud, we think we have reason to feel proud, of the unqualified endorsement of our course by the boncjt Democracy of Cambria. The Anti Lccomptonitcs in tho Convention didn't dare to vote again st tho resolutions. Thry were tifruid to do it; they knew that they it er in the minority. Democrats of Cambria! wo thank you for your eupport, for your endorsement when we most needed it. If yon had remained silent at this crisis, your silence would have been constiued into a condemnation of our course; but you have sustained us, and wc return you oua profound and heartfelt acknowledgments for the honor conferred. Many were yester day disappointed in their hopes and expecta tions, but still "while man is but the crea ture of a day, principles are eternal;" and therefore, as true democrats, determined to preserve the organization of tLe Democratic party intact, let us rally around the ticket nominated j-esterday like a band of brothers. If a 3o so.it can and will be elected bv more than j'vi'.itecn A.-7c.7 rj' a injuiiry. Sustained ! DEMOCRATS, READ ! None of our readers, we are confident, have forgotten the viows expressed by James Buchanan, in his general message last De cember, with regard to the admission of Kan sas into the UnioD, under the Lccompton Constitution. Wc, then, regardless of a for midable opposition arrayed against us, boldly and fearlessly sustained him. For so Join? wc were denounced by certain men r.ho sty led themselves Democrats, as a traitor, aad accused of acting in r prcsititn to the party to which we professed to belong. A meeting wa3 called by the Chairman of tho Democrat ic County Committee, duriug tha last March Court, for the purpose of testing the sense of the Democracy on this important issue, but tho anti-Lccomptonites were afraid to meet it. They were defeated in the meeting. More then two-thirds of the meeting were against them. But they were reckless, noity and riotous, aad used erery means in their power, honorable and dishonorable, to secure tn,.mnl, AUI 1, i - . .

We votod for Jauic Buchanan for President iu 1S5G, aud since his inauguration in March, 18f7, wc have sustained his administration, regardless of the denunciations of secret foes within and opcu foes without the'ranks of the Democrat ic party. In order to prove that we have been sustained by the Democracy of Cambria in the course we pursued, we need only refer to the resolutions adopted by the County Convention yesterday.

We most sincerely hope that the railroad between Lewistown and Suspension briJge is an exception to American railroads in gen eral in the matter of carelessness, if the fol lowing, from tho New York Times is any where near true. "This roal. for most of the distance, is on the very brink of the gorge in some places, hundreds of feet above the river; sometimes inserted into the perpendicular ledge, with the track. At a point about mi-dwav between tho Falls aid Lewistown, where tho track ic& a I out two hundred fct above the river, and where the descent is nearly pci peudicuJar, nearly seventy feet ot the road slid off. The cob house, perpendicular wall, no broader at the base than at the top, which was relied on j to make things safe, began to give way, (as the track master assured me, nearly or quite a week before. Tho fall of the whole struc ture bad been looked upon as certain for some time, and yet cars with passengers continued to be drawn at least twice a day. feuch reck lessness is withaut parallel in railway manage ment. A gentleman, who was too late for the train, started to walk that evening over the track from Lewistown to the Suspension Bridge. It was he who first discovered the slide, but he came within a hair's breadth of Eohifr down the chasm himself. Not dream ing of anything of the sort he walked to tho very brink before be discovered, by the dim light of the moon, the fearful state of the case. Another fctcp and it would have been the last of him. Fortunately, he caught a glimpse of the yawning gulf His retrograde movement was both timely and rapid, the slide had probably taken place immediately on the passing over of the train but a short time before, for the rocks were then tumbling and tossing into the abyss, aud the gentle man felt sensible the earth gave way under his feet as he sprang back. No mortal can tell how near destruction and total annihilation that train of cars came. Its own weight and motion, doubtless, star ted the avalanche. Its speed, au instant of time, a finger's weight may have been all that stood between eternity and all on board. But the train did pass, aud the pleasure seek ing passengers all unconscious of the danger they had escaped. And yet for da s previous the trains had been exposed to this danger, and an oiHcer in charge of the road assured me that he knew it. When iuformcd at the office at Suspension Bridge .that a slide had occurred, they kuew precisely where to locate it, aud said they had been expecting it for a week, aud Btill they bad been sending out trains each way twice a day all the while.
