This is certainly the right spirit. Harmcmy is
now not only absolutely necessary for the suc
cess of the Democratic party ,but also for its pres
ervation as a political organization. A number of
them alluded to the causes which, in their opin-
havc been plighted to the merry jingle of sh-igh
bells, beneath the "cold cold moon." A great
deal has been said concerning the unproductive
ness of the soil of little Cambria. It is true that
in the vicinity of Ebensburg the soil was natu
rally unproductive ; but by the energy and in-
ion, produced the dissensions in the ranks of the dustry of the early pioneer-, Cambria township
party in this county. A few of the reasons as
signed, in our humble opinion, contain more
truth than poetry, and wo will therefore briefly
allude to them now.
"Measures, not men," has always been the
motto of the Democratic party. It is not its
mission to elevate demagogues to office. The
duty assigned it is that of preserving our free
cau now boast of several of the most productive
farms in the Statu. We nevd only refer to ths
farms of Alexander M'Vioker, John Evans,
(Smith.) Edward Shoemaker, John Hughes, Ja
cob Mack and David Jame. In seven.l sections
of the county the il was and is as naturally
productive as an3 iu the State. We refer par

front of the rank?, and order the pary to "carry
sitck, march and countetmarch" with more in
solence than a U. S. officer drilling a company
of raw recruits. They are the men who are
called leaders ; they are the men who get togelh
er some six or eight months belore the meeting
of a Democratic County Convention, and, in strict
conformity with the example of three immortal
demagogue?, Augustus, Antony and Lepidius,
divide the cfaccs in a manner to euit themselves.
Love of money and narrowness of mind are the
characteristics of all of them, and the demagogue
peeps out in all they say or do.
They arc remarkably fond of catching the coat
tails of respectable Democrats for the purpose of
f,i?ing themselves a little political reputation by
appealing in respectable company, and if a reli
able Democrat is elevated to office they claim all
the credit of his election. It was not his own
merits but their influence that elected him ! They
are the individuals generally called on by candi
dates a frw days before the delegate elections. It
is not necessary to talk to the "rank and file."
If Mr. A., in ft certain township, is right, then
there is uo iiss in consulting with B., C. and D.
A, is a man of influence he always attends del
egate elections, and a1 township may be-set
down as good for two delegates. This is certainly
a "great evil under the Mm," and we think to
this "evil" can Le trace.! the dissensions iu
this ranks of the Democracy of tL.'s county.
And how is this "evil" to be remedied ? We
answer, by the "rank and file" thinking and ac
ting for themselves. They must attend ti?e dele
gate elections. They .nust not allow a few in
dividuals to assemble together in some schcol
house in some "wilderness or boundless contiguity
of waste," and appoint delegates to suit them
selves. The time for kicking is before the nomi
nations are made, and not afterwards. Tho
Democracy should atteud the delegate elections,
and see that Democrats arc elected who will
fearlessly discharge their duty, and secure the
nomination of men who will stand erect, unbrl
bed by interest and unbought by gain.
But it is not only wlscn the delegates are elec
ted that demagogues show how smart they are.
Ou the day of the meeting of the County Convert
' tion y m will never fail in meeting then at street
corners. They most talk to the delegates before
the Convention meets, and give thera their in
Btructiori. Is this not an open violation of the
rights of the freemen who selected them as their
delegates, because they thought they would fear
lessly discharge their duties, regardless of the
dictation of self-constituted party leaders 1
We have not time at present to pnTsne this
subject further. We will resume it next week.
.But we think from what we have already said
that the following conclusions can be dawn
th sooner demagogues dissolve their connection
with the Democratic party the better ; the mem
i - id the party should be careful in attending
.
Will our friends pardon us for saying this
much? We have heard eo much recently about
emigrating west, that we feci compelled to

Deputy JarsioUs The Butler Herald, a

says there is iu many quarters, we understand,

of Deputy Marshals will be "tnsjde. To all
our friends who may be interested in know
ing we would say: That the taking of the
Census will not be commeisced before the 1st

pass laws providing for, or relating to the
Census bef re each decennial period of taking
it. The appointments of Deputy are not us
ually made; iudeed cau't well be made, until
it is seen whether Congress will make any
provisions in refTertnee to it. It is very
probable Congress will not take up the sub

case, it is not at all likely any Deputya will
be appointed before the Sprmg of lfeOO.
Fatal Railroad Accident. An employee

but in doing so he fell between the cars, a
number of which passed over his legs, crush

Explosion of a Locomutice on the Ayteultn

We have gleaned tbe particulars of a dis

an early hour on Tuesday mornicg, at Mingo
Station, three miles below Stcubenville, oa

the explosion of a locomotive.
It seems that -the passenger train ou the
Pittsburg and Steubenville Road was behind
time, and the locomotive Atwater was stand
ing on the track at Mingo, waiting for it,
with steam up, ready to go out. The train
came in, and the engine backed towards it.
when, on the second revolution of the wheels
the boiler exploded. The brakesman, fire
man and engineer were instantly killed Tbe
explosion was terrific, tearing everything to
pieces. A portion of the boiler was thrown
through the corner of a dwelling houss. ioiu
telegraph wires were broken, tho through
wi.e to Cincinnati being buried in the ground
under a piece of the boiler, and the other car
ried into the top of a tree, where it lodged.
The grade on the switch was heavy, and a
few moments before the accident the boiler
thowed three full guages of water, which, or.
a level, would have been low. On starting,
cold water being thrown in from the tank, the
boiler exploded
The bodies of -the deceased were much mu
