Borough and one of the Wards iu J6bntwn,
have no foundation in truth whatever. - Many
of the most devoted friends of Mr. Linton.
during the late contest, were Catholics. Mr.
Lintcu, is awaro of this and we know he
does not endorse the bigoted slang and un
founded charges of Mr. " Delegate" against
a large portion of his neighbors and friends.
Mr. Delegate"- then proceeds to say:
' Another reason why we believe thp.t the
members of the church were influenced by
their religion in the selection of delegates to
the Convention, is this: from every Catholic
district in the county Myers delegates were
elected." This is auother of Mr. Delegate's
random shots in which be hits more than a
hundred feet from the mark. Let us see how
the Record sustains him in this specification.
The delegates from LorettQ, a Catholic dis
trict, were opposed to the nomination of Mr.
Myers. Washington township, ft Catholic
district, was represented by Auti-Myers dele
gates. Munster township, a Catholic district,
was also represented by Anti-Myers delegates.
The delegates from Cambria township, were
Catholics. They both were hostile to the
nomination of Mr. Myers, and voted against
him in the Convention. These r-re facts
which we can and will prove if required to do
so. We confidently believe that not a sin
gle delegate in the Convention with the
exception of the " Southern Delegate," even
for a single moment, considered what were
the religious views of either Porter, Kittell,
Linton, Myers, or any of the other candidates
before- the Convention when voting for or
against them. It is false that we have either
a Catholic or a Protestant faction in the
Democratic party in this county, and the
man who attempts to create such an issue in
its ranks, is its worst enemy, and the sooner
he goes over to the opposition body and
breeches, the better.
Mr. Delegate talks about " younj Editors
who profess to pee further into polities than
those who have grown gray in a good cause."
We are a young man it is true, but wo have
always been steadfast in supporting demo
cratic men and principles, and we never
played either directly or indirectly into the
hands of the enemies of the party. Truth
promulgated by even a young man, will al
ways command the attention of an iutclligent
public, while gray hairs never did nor never
will "ren3er folly venerable." Aud now,
sir, we will take cur leave of you forever.
Perhaps we owe an apology to our readers
for having devoted a portion of our columns
this week to your trashy communication?.
Tho principles of bigotry, were doubtless in
stilled into your " youthful mic l,'' and they
have " grown with your growth end strength
ened with your strength." Bigotry is vith
you almost a second nature, and consequent

Resolved, That while, we, as a Lodge, feel
deeply our loss, we recognize the handof God
in the event and bow in submission to, his will,
feeling confident from our Brother's life and
labor of love, also from his peaceful and hap
py death, that what has been our los has been
bis gain. . ,
Resolved, That we deeply sympathise with
the family of the deceased, who, by his death,
have been deprived of an affectionate son and
a kind brother, and that we- humbly entreat
for them the consolation of the Gospel, and
that they take comfort in the assurance that
they mourn not as those that have no hope.
Resolved, That this Lcdga be clothed in
mourning for the space of six months, and
the members wear the usual badge for thirty
days.
Resolved, That these proceedings be pub
lished in the county papers, and a copy be
sent to the family of the deceased.

The "Indignant Democrat" Ajjain.
Wo have always viewed the dragging of
Religion through tho dirty pool of politics,
with feeliugs of indiguation mingled with
disgust. Tho right of every mon to worship
God according to the dictates of his own con
science, is solemnly guarantied by the Con
stitution of the United States, and no man
who cherishes the sentiments of a pure pat
riot and true Christian, will seek to abridge
that right, with regard to any portion of his
fellow citizens. The right of every resident
t)f tho United States, to worship God in the
manner his or her conscience dictates, is a
right as high holy and sacred, as that of
treading the earth or breathing the pure air
of Heaven. The man who endeavors to fan
the flames of religious bigotry in this country,
in order to accomplish certain political ends,
is a bigot and a demagogue, and we caro not
what he may style tnmseit, is not a sincere
follower of him who said "My kingdom is
not of this world."
A writer in the CamLria Tribune, who
signs himself " A Delegate from the South,
has recently been endeavoring with all the
energy and zeal of a genuine true blue Know
Nothing, to revive the defunct carcass of
Sam, in this county. His last epistle is
cow before us, and wc will endeavor to dis
pose of it in as summary a manner as pos
iblc. I
In his communication, a few weeks ago,
he asserted that a meeting of Catholics was
held at Lorctto, previous to the assem
bling of the late Democratic County Conven
tion, for the purpose of securing the nomina
tion of a Catholic ticket by the Convention.
We called on the 'indignant Jemocrat' to prove
this charge, aud then proceeded to remark
tbat we regarded him as a " rare compound
of ignorance, fa'sehood find bigotry," to pub
lish such a statement, such a serious charge
against his fellow citizens, to the world, un
ustained by proofs. We called on him for
the proofs, but he has not produced them.
In his last communication he is solemnly si
lent on the subject. Come, Mr. Delegate,
produce the proofs or never again afflict the
readers of tho Tribune with your bigoted
rantings and Know Nothing balderdash.
Let us know where that Santedrim vou s)eak
or convened, the business that was transacted,
and any ether facts connected with it worthy
of note you may be in possession of.j

Southern portion of the county, assures ns,

For several years the kpproach of a growing

the desire for Euch a highway has cot been

A Boy's Encounter with a Bear.
Mr.D. McPhail gives f he following par
ticulars of an encounter with a boar, which
took place in the township of Fullerton, on
Wednesday, tho 14th ult. On the morning
of the day mentioned, Mr. James Foster, far
mer, on lot No. 4, West Mitchell road, heard
a hog making considerable noise, aud sent
his son George, a lad of some fifteen years of
age, to 6co whkt was the matter, when, on
running to the scene of the trouble, the lad
saw what he supposed to be a large black dog
belonging to Mr. McPhail, (on whose land
the combat was being waged.) at the neck of
a hog belonging to Mr. McPhail, and with
the intention of releasing bis pigship, threw
a stick at the ruthless aggressor, when, to
his consternation, a huge bear, instead of the
1 fcuprosed dog, relinquished I; is hold upon tue i

which the young city should be called when

The Atlantic Cable-
Fuiladelpiii a, August G. The President
has given perndssion to the Associated Press
to cepy the messages referring to the openiug
of the telegraph cable:
"Bedford, Pa., August 5.
"To Cyrus W. Fidd, Trinity Bay:
"My Dear Sir: I congratulate you with all
my heart, on the success of the great enter

connected. Under the blessing of Divine

tal in promoting perpetual ' peace aud friend

have directed the light artillery to firo one

from St. Anthony will be less than two hun
dred doller3 By the first of May next a
steamboat will be made to ply on the streams
running towcrds the Rocky Mountains, so as
to make the journey not only easy, but speedy
and cheap.
From the information gleaned from tho
St. Anthony report, we learn that, with but
an uuimportaut interruptien, it will be easy
to pass by the waters of the Siouxwood, Shay
enne and Red Lake rivers, and Lake Winue
peg, a great portion of the route by water.
Breckinridge being the starting point by
steamboat, the whole distance may be passed
by water to the Rocky Mountain House, for.
at leaving Lake Wiunepeg and taking the
Saskatchewan river you proceed to within
two hundred miles of Thompson's river
From tho head of navigation on the Upper
Mississippi, at St.' Cloud, to Breckinridge,
the overland distance is one hundred aud
twenty-hve miles, making the land journey
only about three hundred and twenty-live
miles, and that portion by water sixteen hun
dred and fifty miles.
If these water paths prove as feasible as is
anticipated, we see no reason to doubt that
Western enterprise will soon direct its capi
tal towards such a promising region, which
is said to be luxurious in vegetation and very
inviting in its climate. Of course, at pres
ent little is known of a route so inefficiently
explored, but before the next Spring we shall
have reports from those who have gone over
the route, by which we may judge more
clearly as to the real advantages of the route.
The fact that the people of St. Anthonv have
determined to test practical!' the navigabilitj'
of the waters, is an evidence of their confi
dence in tho report of their comirittce. and
whatever may be the result, it cannot but
contribute largely to our stock of information
respecting the territory of the North-West to
have their experiment put iu operation.
Should success crown the plan, the opening
of the route, in many points of view, will be j
one of the most important features in our
commercial history, and will tend greatly to
give an impetus to trade in the North-western
Sta'x-a.
Beyond the mere consideration of commer
cial gain, however, the opening of such a
route to the shores of the Pacific is a vastly
important movement. Circumstances are rap
idly develeping conditions in the old Eastern
nations which requires a speedy communi
cation with the northern shores of the Pacific.
Tho portals of Japan already have creaked
upon their hinges, and the ppirit of that sin
gular people, apart from the policy of their
rulers, is to establish commercial relations
with us on a liberal basis. In this view,
and with a certainty of great changes in the
life of the Asiatics, who will soon be our next
door neighbors, we cannot but take a deep

Outrages upon Americans. i
Mr. Williams, called by Utica (N. Y.) i
lie raid, "our associate," writing from Jeru- j
salem. mentions several instincts of gross i
outrages which have been ptrpetrated upon
Americans who were traveling iu the " Holy
Land," and throughout Palestine and Syria.
He says :
" Robberies are of almost daily occurrence.
Two American missionaries w, re assailed be
tween Beyront and Jerusalem by a band of
armed Bedouins, who pointed their guns at
their breasts and commanded them to surren
der. A similar outrage was committed upon
an American party coming from Damascus a
few days previous lhere is uo' government
in Palestine just now. The Bedouin- robK-rs
are the virtual rulers of thelml. Robbe
ries occur almost every day under the very
walls of Jerusalem.
I attended last evening an informal meet
ing of American residents in Jerusalem, JaSa,
Beyrout, Damascus and Nazareth, to consider
the propriety of representing to the govern
ment at Washington the insecurity cf life
anl property of Americans traveling in Pal
estine, and of ret nesting its protection acamst

Hore Brutality Encouraged.
Tho prize-fighters of Great Britain, denied j
the gratification at home of pounding each !
other to a jelly, have been infesting our shores
to carry on their wretched and demoiuhziug
practices here. Public opiuion, however,
Las liowned on the importation, and the law
is opposed to their degrading mission. Not
withstanding this, we perceive that lhcy are
advertising that two of their number will go
into training fjr a grand match of biutahty
that will eclipse auy uf the battles of fighting
dogs. The bets have been made, aud the pe
culiar class who support this system arc ab
sorbed in the contemplation of the probabili
ties affecting the issue. The New Y'ork
journals keep up the excitement with respect
to this illegal encounter from day to day, and
no one has ytt been found in that great city,
sufficiently opposed to the brutal match to
place the matter before the proper authorities,
to have these fellows restrained of the licen
tiousness which threatens to lead tauiore than
one breach of the peace. After the Poole
murder, and the funeral pageant that marked
the consignment of that fighting man's remains
to the earth, under the shadow of the City
Hull in tho Park, perhaps it is too much to
expect that any one can be found wise enough
to shield the Empire City from a further dis
grace through imported lighting men.
The Free Lovers at Berlin Heights re
fuse to accept the offer of the citizens of that
place to purchase their property at a fait val
uation. They decline to leave the place on
any pretence
