Two days after it, tho "Mountaineer" an nounced that the committee ha I done nothing, Thii announcement took everybody by sur prise. The secret was this: Thc "Mountain eer" clique were determined if possible, that this Senatorial district should be iiapresected by aa anti-Lecompton delegate. With this view, two anti-Leeotnpt ju men, as thry wero called, Messrs l'iper and Lloyd, weie quietly flipped down to Tyrone city, to contest, the seats of the two Buchanan conferees from Cambria. But the thing did not "hold water," thej- did not get in, aud the "Mountaineer'' was deprived of its expected triumph . A Delegate friendly to Buchanan was elec ted frcm Blair, Cambria and Cleaifi.ld. Thc rage of the "Mountaineer" clique knew no bounds. The next week they commenced that crusade of malice and slander against me which has frequently been alluded to du ring the past year, and which yet continues. Without a shadow of foundation, my conduct was misrepresented, my motives impugned, and baseless charges of corruption and every diohcnorable action, were heaped up against me by tongue and press.

Now, whilst the true and tried Democrats of the county were rallying to the support of their party thus traitorously attacked iu its principles and organization whilst James Myers was standing, witn his bauds in Lis pockets, complacently beholding the efforts of a few reckle3s politicians to hand, bouud hand and foot, oer to the enemies of tho Constitution and the Union, that party to which be professed to belong, and which ho was afraid to help in its time of need because he was a candidate for a good office at ita hands, aud might offend somebody if h took a part whilst Abel Lloyd and the cream colored donkeys were rushing to tho telegraph offioo to circulate reports whieh he kneio to be false, where were yon the delegate the man in whom the Democracy of the county had placed their canfidence the man vhs jyas so anxious to represent fairly and im partially that party what was your posi tion ?

You have com menced it without provocation. The election is over the people have spoken their fiat should be submitted to. There is nothing to be made by stirring up the waters of bitter ness; but when attacked I have aright to reply. I have as much right to overhaul your public acts as yeu have my private ones.
