I'rr mature Fears.
Several of our Democratic exchanges have
recently contained ably written cditori al ar
ticles, with regard to the National Convention
of the party which will assemble in Charles
ton next Juno. This is all right ; all that we
object to is, that in several of the articles on
the subject we have perused, fears are ex
pressed that the platform adopted by the
Convention "will not be all that it should
be." We think these fears are visonary.
We enterain no doubt that the Convention will
be composed of talented & reliable Democrats,
who will adopt a platform broad enough to
contain the friends of the party, and narrow
enough to exclude its enemies. We are
opposed to premature croaking. If the Con
vention betrays the party and misrepresents
its principles, it will then be time enongh to
commence grumbling and complaining.
The platform adopted by the National
Convention of 1S5G, known as the "Cincin
nati Platform," embodied all of the impor
tant and cardinal principles of the party, and
was universally acceptable to the Democracy.
We think the re-af5rniancc of that platform
by tlie Charleston Convention would bo all
that would be necessary to unite the party,
nnd secure harmony in its ranks during the
campaign. In our opinion, the fewer new
issues are introduced the better.
It is worse than nonsense to assert that
there is any danger that the revival of the
African Slave Trade, -will be made an issue of
the campaign by the National Convention.
A resolution declaring the Democratic party
to be in favor of the revival of the Slave trade
would not receive ten votes in the Conven
tion. No sensible man, cither North or
South, is in favor of the movement, Its only
advocates are a few Southern fire-eaters, who
are as fanatical and as destitute of common
Fcnsc as the ultra Abolitionists of the North.
The men who entertain serious apprehensions
of the re-opening of the Slave trade, are as
weak-minded as the man who was frightened
at beholding his own shadow.
As we have already said, we entertain no
doubt that the National Convention will be
composed of able and reliable Democrats,
who will feel it to be their duty to fearlessly
maintain end re-assert the principles of the
party. Coming together, as they doubtless
will, in a "spirit of concord, of devotion to
the doctrines and faith of a free representative
government," it will be almost impossible for
them to do anything that will be offensive to
the sincere members of the party.
We firmly believe that the party will be
united in 18C0. The spirit of faction is al
ready fast dying out, and all true patriots
will rally under our standard next year. Ours
is the only National party in the country,
and will, therefore, as soon as the campaign
is opened, enlist in its ranks every National
man and enemy of Sectionalism in the land,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. We cannot
believe that a sectional party ever will suc
ceed in electing a President of the United
State3. The day on which ruch an event
would occur, would be a dark and fatal day
for the country -

A Change.
Some eight or nine years ago, Louis Na
poleon refused th-e application of Louis Kos
suth for permission to land ia France.
Kossuth was then regarded as a revolutionist
and as a dangerous man. and it was feared that
his presence in France for even a few days,
might endanger the tranquility of the Nation.
What remarkable changes circumstances will
effect! Only a few weeks ago this same Louis
Kossuth passed through France under the
protection of the Emperor. His avowed ob
ject iu undertaking the journey on which he
then started was to endeavor to penetrate into
Hunj?arv. for the nurmsfi' of RtirrJnor nn
i i x -- o r
another 'revolution there. His protector,
"aider and abettor" in thi3 cnterpnze.was the
Emperor of France, who a few years before
regarded him as a seditious, bold and bad
man. Truly, we live in a remarkable age,
and straDgo events are transpiring around us.
In many respects Kossuth is a very remar
kable, if not a great, man. He is certainly
one of the most eloquent men now living, but
we do not think he was intended by Nature
to be the leader of a great popular movement.
He wants that cool calculating judgment,
that well balanced mind, without which no
man can be either an able General or a pro
found Statesman. lie is the man to raise
the whirlwind, but not the man to ride on
and guide it. We never bad any faith in his
proiessions of love for Liberty and the rights
of man. While in this country, he did not
travel unattended like a plain honest Re
publican despising display and ostentation.
He wa3 accompanied bj a body guard of
fierce-looking Magyars, and seemed to expect
that everywhere duo respect should be paid
to bia as theGovernor of Hungary. His efforts
during the present European War may do
much towards assisting Lcuis Napoleon and
Victor Emmanuel, in their efiorts to break
down the power of Austria, but he will leave
Hungary as he found her "Decayed in her
glory, and sunk iu her worth."
jCif The last few daj-s have been very
warm even up here on the top of tfie Ever
lasting Alleghanics. How the inhabitants of
the cities must have suffered from the heat !
Ihe greatebt pleasure they can now enjoy, is
that of going into the country for a few weeks,
and forgetting for awhile all the cares, busi
ness and turmoils of the "deaven dinsome
town". To all such who are desirous of dis
covering a plaea where, during this parched
season, they can enjoy themselves for a few
weeks, we confidently recommend Ebensburg.
Here even duriog the warmest day, they can
enjoy the exquisite luxury of breathing pure
and invigorating air, and have their cheeks
fanned by a cool and invigorating breeze.
Our Landlords are all gentlemanly and ac
commodating, and never fail in supplying
thoir guests with all the luxuries which the
season affords. The woods in the neighbor
hood of town are swarming with game and
the "Trout Runs" a few miles from town of
fer superior inducements to the disciples of
Walton. Our roads are also equal to any in
the state.
JCiT A company of strolling Gipsies passed
through this place on last Friday. They
stepped in town for some time, and while the
men endeavored to sell horses to several of
our citizens, the women busied themselves iu
begging and telling fortunes. One of them,
for the small sum of one dollar, informed a
young lady with whom we are acquainted,
that she would be married to the lord of her
bosom's love in less than a year from thai
time, that she would live very happily with
him, and that they would be blessed with
twelve beautiful children I A pretty bij for
tune for one dollar, we think. The vagrant
life of the Gipsies is apparently a hard one,
but they are used to it, and are consequently
happy and contented. All of them, we have
no doubt, could cheerfully join in the song of
Burns' "Jolly Beggars :"
"What is title ? what is treasure?
What is reputation's cares ?

&dT The Democracy of Vermont have
nominated John G. Saxe, the witty and pop

hot-bed of Abolitionism in the United States,

We were asked the other day by a gentle
man, if we intended taking the Democratic
County Ticket down from the head of our
columns. We promptly answered NO. The
ticket wasfairly nominated, and we are de
termined to. do all in our power to promote
its success. We think that it is entitled to tlie
support of every Democrat in. the County. At
all events, it shall receive ours! ,,
The Black Republican and Know
Nothing County Counvcntion assembled in
this place yesterday. At the time of writing
this, (Tuesday morning,) a cumber of dele
gates have arrived, and we observe that sev
eral ot tho candidates are very active in
"bobbing around" among them, and seem to
be exceedingly clever.
We will probably be able to obtain the
ticKet placed ia nomination before we go to
press. It so wo will publish it.
P. S. The Convention organize! at about half
past two o'clock yesterday, by calling F. W.
a Ay to tl:c Ohatr, and appointing the usual num
U;r ot ice Presidents and Secretaries. White
township was not represented, arid Lorelto and
Carrolltown were each represented by only ODe
delegate. The Convention refused to admit tLe
delegates from Wilmore. AfferjJisposing of
j Mniuy uusmt&s, mi? onveiuion proceeded
to nominate a candidate for State Senator. A.
Kopclin, Jacob M. Campbell and William II.
Gardner were nominated. On motion of Mr.
Swank, Mr. Campbell was allowed the privilege
nwKing a statement to the Convention. In a
few moments Mr. Campbell made his appearance
and denied ia strong and. emphatic lanuae
mat ue nad ever entered into an arrangement to
nominate L. W. Hill, of Blair County, ia order
to secure the nomination next vear. of Genm-o ft
King for Congress. The Convention then pto
ceeded to ballot, and on the second ballet, Jacob
M. Campbell was declared nominated. The vote
stood, Campbell, SO, Gardner, 22, Kopclin, 2.
On motion, Mr. Campbell was allowed tLe privi
lege of selecting his own Conferees. The follow

The result is a brilliant victory for the George
S. King wing of the opposition party in this
County. Swank of the Tribune was a delegate
from Johnstown, and seemed to be the only
talking man and shrewd politician in the Convention.
On last Monday the "advance guard"
of a drove of Cattle while passing through

They immediately took the "back track," and

of the drivers, the drove would havo soon
been unmanageable, and the stampede would
have become general.

Tlie Late battle.
The details of the battle ou the Mincio, be
tween the Allies and the Austrians have not
yet been'received, but there can be no doubt
that the Allies achieved a brillant victory,
and that the Austrians wcro compelled to re
treat after extraordinarily heavy losses.
The Emperor of Franca in a dispatch to the
Empress says, "the enemy withdrew last night
and that he slept in the room occupied in the
morning by the Emperor of Austria." The
Allies took 7000 prisoners, 3 flags 30 cannon
and the tot.-d loss of the Austrians is reported
to be 35,000. The loss of the French is sup
posed to be about 12,000. The Austrians
are said to be preparing for another battle
under Gen. Hess, who has been appointed
CommanJcr-in-Chief of the forces. Louis
Napoleon published the following address to
the Army after the battle
"Cavriana, June 25th. Soldiers: The
enemy who believed themselves able to re
pulse us from the Chiese, have recrrsscd the
Mincio You have worthily defended the
honor of France. Saioriao surpassed the
recollection of Lonota and Ca.-tigliorje hi
twelve hours you have repulsed the e'Jorts of
one hundred and fifty thousand men. Your
enthusiasm did not rest there the numerous
artillery of the enemy occupied formidable
positions for over three leagues, which you
carried. Your country thanks you for your
courage and perseverance, and laments the
fallen. U e have taken three flags, thirty
cannon, and G000 prisoners.
"The Sardinian army fought with the same
valor agaiust superior forces, and worthy is
that army to march beside you. Blood has
not been shed ia vain, for the glory of France
and the happiness of the people."
The following is the Austrian official ac
count of the battle:
