The Know Nothings and Black Republi
cans held a meeting at the Court House in
this place yesterday evening, for the purpose
of ratifying the nomination of Samuel S.
Blair, Esq. for Congress. A. A. Barker,
of Kbensburg, presided, assisted by a num
ber of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. Af
ter the President had stated the object of the
meeting, A Kopelin, of Johnstown, was cal
led ou for a Fpeecb. It would bo impossible
to present a correct outline of the loDg, ram-
bling, disconnected harangue with which he
bored the meeting, and we will not therefore
attempt it. After he had concluded, Mr
Blair made his appearance on the stand, and
proceeded to "defiue his position." He took
occasion, before he had uttered ten words, to
pitch into the National Administration, anx
ious no doubt to convince the people that he
deeply sympathized with bleeding Kansas,
and occupied a conspicuous place among the
freedom shriekers who aro willing to let the
Union slide' if it stands in the woy of their
sectional party. He boldly declared himself
the advocate of the doctrine that Congress
has the power to prevent the introduction of
slavery into the territories, but never during
his speech, ventured to speak of the Repub
lican party. No, the People's Party was al
the go with Mr. Blair. Of what is the Pea
ple't Party of which ho fpoke composed ?
Of Know Nothings and Black Republicans
Then why did he confine himself to the prin
ciples of the Republican party ? Had he not
time had he not an opportunity for attend
ing to Sam as well as to Sambo, and does he
expect the suffrages of the Know Nothings
of thii district without endorsing their princi
pics? These are questions which we hope
Mr. Blair will answer in his next speech
The people are anxious for light on the sub
ject. The Johnstown Tribune and Tyrone
Star, both Kuow Nothing organs, advocate
the election of Mr. Blair
the principles they advocate, and does he sus
tain the doctrine that "freedom to worship
God'' is not one of the inalienable rights of

OUR CANDIDATE.
The Democratic Congressional Conference
which met at JyliDStown last Friday, on the
lllth ballot placed in nomination Cybis L.
Persuing, Fsq., of this county, for Congress,
and to-day, we j lace Lis name at the mast-head
t)f our paper as the Democratic candidate for
that office, with emotions of pride and pleasure.
It is unnecessary for ua to say anything in praise
f Mr. Perilling. lis is well known to a major
ity i.f our reader, and it is impossible to know
a:d not esteem him. lie can justly claim undis
puted precedence in the confidence, respect and
est-eux of the Democracy of Cambria, and even
the leader of the opposition acknowledge the
purity of his private life, and his stern unben
ding integrity. There can be no doubt as to the
course ho would purvue if elected to a scat in our
National legislature. The principles of the
Democratic party would ho steadily adhered to
on all questions of a political character, and lie
would never b afraid to say No- whenever prin
ciples or right required it. In this age of aspi
ling demagogues and brawling politicians, such
men "as Mr. Pershing are rare, and consequently
they should bo promptly supported and sus
tained by the people whenever an opportunity
for 6o doing presents itself.
The Johnstown "Tribune," in announcing the
result of the opposition Congressional Conference,
very properly complains that the just claims ot
Cambria county to the nomination were treated
with contempt. The members of the Democrat
ic Conference were more jtiat. They conceded
the claims of Cambria to the nomination, and be
fore adjourning, unanimously accepted her favor
ite sou a the standard bearer of the party io
this district during the Approaching campaign.
'Die result of their labors has created a spirit of
enthusiasm throughout the county so unanimous
and general that we did not anticipate it, and
we now conSder.tly assert that Cumbria is good
for al least fifteen hit wired of a majority in favor
of Pershing.
More thau fifty yeas have elapsud since Cam
bria was organi.od as a countj-. During that
long period of time a "dweller on her soil" has
never occupied a seat in Congress, or even in the
State Senate. An opportunity is now preseuted
to the people of Cambria for wiping out this re
proach against them. That .they will embrace
Ji we do not entertain a doubt.
Democrats of Cambria! awake from your
lethargy. Cl'itcs L. Persuing, a Democrat who
Las long been a resident of your county, who has
grown with your growth and strengthened with
your strength, who knows the intercuts and wants
c.f your county, is now presented to you by the
Democracy of this Cougressioeal district as the
caudidate of the party for a seat in congress.
Shall that nomination be sustained ? Will the
Democracy of Cambria Sustain her favorite ton ?
Thr are questions which the Democracy of Cam
bri i will answer in language not to be mistaken
at the ballot lox. Camlria county is good
for jiftevH hundici of a Majority for Pershing,
vn Ike second Tuesday of next October.
man :
If Mr. Blair supposes that he can succeed
in getting up g, fight among the Democracy
of Cambria on the Lccompton issue, he is
very much mistaken. The Mountain De
mocracy are now uuitcd, and have forgotten
all past diffei. nces. Their motto is, "Let
the dead past bury its dead." They are not
disposed to promote the success of the Peo-
jile's Party, the principles of which, if car
ried out, would inevitably lead to the dissolu
tion of the Union, and deprive a large
portion of the American people of the rights
which nature and nature's God entitle them
to enjoy. In 1856, Millard Fiiloiore the
candidate of the Know Nothing party for
President, denounced the Black Republican
party as a sectional organization, which, if
successful, would speedily dissolve the Union.
Its principles have undergone no change since
that time, and if Mr. Fillmore was then
right, he is still right. And now Mr. Blair
is the candidate of the People's Party, a
large portion of whoso members regard his
principles as dangerous and sectional, and
which, if carried out, would erase the name
of the Uuited States from the Book of Na
tions. The resolutions reported by Mr Swauk of
the Tribune were merely a rehash of those
adopted by the late Know Nothing County
Convention. They were, of eourse, adopted,
merely as a matter of form, and tho meeting
adjourned.
OUR DUTY AS DEMOCRATS
JST It is said that the Hon J. R. Giddings
is'engaged in writing the "History of the Anti-Slavery
Fight in Congress," and his retire
innt will enable bini tofiuUb the work at an
early day.
Fast vA goiire the dog days.
The Democratic Party has just emerged
from a trying crisis; thank heaven the storm
has cast. While it lasted the timid and va-
cillatiDg asked more than once, "Watchman
how wears the night." But the slorru is new
over and the day is breaking The Atncrl
can Democracy once more are a unit, and pre
sent an unbroken front to the enemy. We
have, it is true, an arduous contest before us;
but we are contending for the right; we arc
arrayed Under a banner that we feel assured
i invincible. Our cause and the principles
for which we are contending, are just, and wc
entertain no fears with regard to the result
with which it will be crowned.
The Democratic party never occupied a
more thoroughly national position than at the
present time. Samuel S. Blair, the oppo
sition candidate for Congress, last night,
openly acknowledged that he was the candi
date of a sectional party. He boldly avowed
that he was "in favor of excluding the in
habitants of the Southern States from the
Territories." It is true the blood of the
citizens of the Southern States was freely
poured out on many a well-fought battle
field, in order to secure for us the precious
boon of freedom. It is true the people of the
Southern States contributed their quota to
wards paying the amount required by law for
the territories belonging to the United States
ocquired by purchase. These are facts which
Mr. Blair candidly acknowledges in bis speech
on Tuesday night. It would be well for him
to remember during the approaching cam
paign, that the Democracy of Cambria coun
ty are not half-way men. They have always
been and always will be, true to their first love
The State ticket can and will be elected in spite
of all the efforts of the opposition; and the pray
er of Kufus Choate shall be fully realized :
"God bless Pennsylvania! Wheresoever the
pillars of the lepublie may tremble, still may
j she stand forth in her plaee of power and of
t DCatrf y TOTever ;
ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE FIELD
It will be seen by the annexed proceedings
of the American Congressional Conference,
that George W. Patton, Esq., of Blair
count, is the regular nominee of the Ameri
can party for Congress in this district. We
are not personally acquainted with Mr.Patton,
but understand that he is an honest, intelli
Does he endorse I gent ana vcl7 worthy man. N. I
Esq , of this place, was, we are informed, j
one of the Conferees from this county, in the
Conference which nominated Mr Patton. He
is a true-blue Know-Nothing, and never de
nied it. We respect him for his sincerity.
He never, like certain gentlemen who for
the present shall be nameless, denounced the
principles of Know-Nothingism at street cor
ners, and afterwards, at the hour of midnight,
sneaked into alleys and stables, for the pur
pose of devising with other renegades, the
ways and means to deprive his neighbors of
their inalienable rights.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
. The Democracy of Cambria assembled in
Maw Meeting at the Court House, in Ebens
burg, on "Wednesday eveniag, the 12th inst.
Gen JosKru M'Donald was called to the
Chair; Irwin Rutledge, IInry Scanlan, Mi
chael Moyers, Matthew M. Adams, Paul
George and Daniel Litzinger were appointed
Vice Prcfidents.and Charles D. Murray, John
P. Linton and Philip S. Noon, Secretaries.
The President of the meeting stated its ob
jects in an eloquent and terse manner. C.
L. Persuing, Esq., the nominee of the Demo
cratic party for Congress, was then called on
for a speech, ne responded in an address of
remarkable eloquence and power. He did
not attempt anything like declamation, but
confined himself strictly to the issues involved
in the present campaign. He was followed
by John Scott, Esq , of Huntingdon, and
William A. Stoke?, of Greensburg, who both
delivered eloquent addresses. The meeting
adjourned, with cheers for Pershing, and the
State and county ticket.
"ART THOU TOO FALLEN, IBERIA? '
We leaan with surpise, just us we are go
ing to press, that Robert P. Linton, Esq., of
Johnstown, has annoveced himself as a can
didate for Sheriff, We sincerely hope the re
port may not be correct. We have always
been the friend of Mr Linton, and would be
sorry to see him place himself in a position
which would rule him out of the party. How
ever, if he is willing to allow himself to be
used as the tool of the Know Nothings and
Black Republicans of the county, be it so. The
Democracy of Cambria cannot and will not
allow themselves to be defeated by such puny
efforts. The entire Democratic County Tick
et will be elected, the efforts of Linton to the
contrary notwithstanding.
