Principles arc eternal. Certain Dem
ocrats in our County, aro constantly endeavor
ing to sustain themselves, by appealing to the
common sense of people. It is sometimes
very difficult to tell where they really are.
They evidently regard a Democratic President
merely as the dispenser of a larger amount of
patronage; and if he does not grant them the
appointments they desire, they are prepared
to denounce him, although he may have faith
fully carried out the principles of the Consti
tution, in the administration of the Govern
mcnt.
Principles are eternal, and consequently
they should be watched with jealous care.
Certain politicians believe that the days of
tee democratic party have already been
numbered, and that it will be powerless in
the Presidential contest next year. This is
a great mistake. If the principles which it
upholds are right, they will sustain it, and
60oner or later, secure its success. The so
ber 6econd thought of the people is always
right.
We regret exceedingly the dissensions
which at present exist ia the ranks of the par
ty in this County. The democracy here, if
united, aro invincible; but when divided thej
cannot accomplish anything which will re
dound to the success of the party. The op
position party "laugh in their sleeves" at
those who have been "duped" by them.
Certainly no good can result to the party
from electing Know Nothings to office. We
cannot gain strength by placing in an influ
ential position those who are hostile to demo
cratic principles. If we are determined to
stand by the landmark of the party in this
county we must take a position at once. The
only rallying point that we have is the Coun
ty ticket. Its triumphant election will excite
in the breasts of us all emotions of pride and
pleasure. If all or a potfon of it is defeated
we will feel mortified and be compelled to
confess that Cambria is no longer the Demo
cratic Banner County of Western Pennsylva
nia. We cannot gain anything by electing
Black Republicans to office. They are bos
tilo to our principles, and always when in
power, use their influence against us. Every
democrat should therefore labor honestly and
zealously for the success of the County and
State ticket. By so doing they will prove to
the world that they ate sincere democrats and
pure patriots. The principles of the Black
Republican Party if carried out in the ad
ministration of the government, would inevi
tably lead to the dissolution' of the Union.
Seward, the leader of: the BUck Republicans
bas publicly said that there is a perpetual war
fare in this country between the sl'avebcjding
and non-slaveholding states, and, that if sla
very in not abolished in Virginia. Maryland
& South Carolina, Pennsylvania will become a
slave state. Many of our readers will doubt
less laugh at this as highfalutcn nonsense.
But it should not be Tiewed In this Jight,
Senator Seward sincerely entertains the views
w'uioh he has proclaimed, and if elected Pi e.-
ident would look to them for his guidance in
the discharge of his official duties. To us all
this issue is pregnant with importance If the
citizens of the slave & con-slave-holding states
can-not contimio to regard each other as brcth
Ten, as fellow countremen, the sooner the
Union is dissolved the better. The Union
between the northern and Southern states
then would exist only in name, because
there would not be s.n equality of rights. The
dissolution of the Union would certainly be
the most direful calamity that could befal the
American people; it would blot them from
the bonk of Nations, and place 'them on an
equality with the citizens of the South Anier
ican States In order to avert this darefu
calamnity, all sincere democrats 6hout 'stand
firm. -They should look to principles and not
to men. They should not degrade themselves
into the position of man worshippers. But
on the eoutraTy they should at once assume
the position of freemen, mantaining the dig
nity of man with soul erect.
STOur town at the present timo is blessed
with a very 'largo assortment of dogs, of al
varieties; from the dignified Spaniel, to the
impudent snarling cowardly fst. We coun
ted twelve in the "Dimond" one day last
week at one time. They were all evidently
wide awake and "full of fleas " and like
Burns' "twa a dog" seemed , bent on wea
rying eacu otner in diversion. As our
town contains a very large assortment of
canines at the present time, it may not be
out of place to inform their owners, that but
few men like to be barked and snarled at by
either full grown beagles or half grown pup
pies. Dogs which are permitted to prowl
around the streets are always a nusiance in a
town as large as Ebensburg.
JTSTWe see it stated in several of our ex
changes that Hon. Thomas Florence, of Phil
adelphia, has issued a prospectus for a new
publication to be called the "Democratic
Quarterly Review." Mr. Florence is a reli
able Democrat, an able writer and a profound
uwresiuau xue J.VCV1CW Will UpllOld tile
principles of the Democratic party as promul
gated and defended by Jefferson, Madison,
Jackson, Polk, Pierce and Buchanan Un
der the control of Mr. Florence it cannot fail
in being a faithful exponent of Democratic
principles.
A Srxcci.AU Case. Sometime during last
winter Messrs. Strousc & Dahlman, Horse
dealers of New York City, purchased a hor&e
from Mr. Robert Williams, of Cambria town
ship. They took the horse and a number of
others they had purchased in this vicinitv
with them to New Yoik City. Shortly
after arriving there a gentleman from Massa
chusetts examined the horse carefully and
then claimed him as bis property. He stated
that about two years ago the horse was stolen
from bis farm near Boston, and that he had
heard nothing of him from that time until he
accidentally recognized him in the manner we
have stated. Messrs Stronso A- Dalilman
refusing to give him the horse, he brought
an action of replevin against them, and they
gave a bond for the property. One of the
firm brought the horse to this place last week,
and sent for Mr. Williams, ne immediately
identified the horse as the one ho had sold a
few months ago. He states that he raised
him. and that he was never out of his pos
session for a single day, until he sold him to
the above named firm. The Massachusetts
gentleman is equally confident that he is the
horse which was stolen from him. The case
is a singular one, . and as. the witnesses all
reside a considerable distance from New York
the losing party will be saddled with a pretty
large bill of costs.

jdTThe late elections in Kentucky were
attended by tha usual amount of bloodshed.
Since the Louisville riots of 1855, law and
order seem to have been ignored :n certain
districts of that State, and that peaceful citi
zens arc hazarding their lives when they at
tempt quietly to exercise the right of suffrage.
As a capital illustration of the beauties of
Kentucky Know Nothrngrsm in the year
1859, read the following .paragraph from the
Cincinnati Enquirer: : . " t u' " '-.
"We were informed yosrerday that a dif
ficulty occurred at tfre Blue Lick polls on
Monday, between two young "men, William
Abbott and Delaney, in which their fathers
became involved, when the elder D. struok
the elder A. with a piece of lead pipe, which
so enraged the son of the latter that he drew
a large bowie-kaife, and thrust it twice
through his breast, the blade passing out at
his back. Delaney died almost immediately,
but while he was breathing his last, the fath
er of the youth snatched the knife from his
son's Land and cut the dying man's face and
head until he lost all human semblance An
eye-witness says the deceased was literally
carved and cut to pieces.
"J. W. Pennoycr, conductor of the Louis
ville and Frankford Railroad, who was in
town yesterday, informs us that as he was
passing through Paris, in the afternoon of
the eiection day, he saw a crowd running
and a great excitement among the people,
and learned that two men had been. shot, one
fatally; but he could not obtain names or par
ticulars. .Various localities in Kentucky
were the scenes of fights, shooting, cutting,
and homicides, as the election was one of un
usual excitement in our si6ter State."

Calumny Recoils.
The decided manner in which Mr. Buch

risburg, has expressed his determination not
"under any combination of circumstances" to
be a candidate for re-election, is inexpressi
ble annoying to those who have been daily
affirming that he was uing all the power and
patronage of the government to secure a nom

The Washington Monument .4 Curious
Experiment. totz being about to be re
newed on the Washington Monument at
Washington, preperations were made last
week for commencing operations. Only one
rope was left by which the top could be reach
ed, but it was considered unsafe to ascend
by this, lest it should prove to be rotten, and
loss of life ensue. It was therefore necessa
ry to get a rope across the top. To do this
a man was produced who, standing upon the
ground outside the column, threw a stone
over it, more than a hundred and seventy
feet in beight. Having ascertained that he
could perform this feat, a small pack of
thread was attached to the stone, but the
resistance of the air to the thread prevented
his casting the stone more than half the
beighth of the column. Next an Indian
bow and arrows were obtained, butjhe ar
rows, with thread attached, would not rise
above a hundred feet. A rifle was next ob
tained, and experiments were made inside
the column by shootiug the ramrod, with a
pack of thread attached upwards, in tbe hope
that it would fall across a Darticular brace
but sometimes the rod took a wrong direction
and at others the thread was burned off by
me powaer. and tnis plan tailed. At last a
pigeon, with a rack of thread attached to its
leg. was started on a flight UDwards inside
the column, and by dint of whooping and
shoutingiby the persons below, the bird was
frightened into a continuance of his flight,
and rested on the very brace over which it
was required to cast tho thread. A pistol
was then fired to startle him from his rjorch.
and he luckily descended upon the right 6ide
of the column. The pack thread was caught
a heavier cord was attached and drawn up,
then heavier and stronger cords, until a rope
of sufficient size was secured over the brace
to enable the rigers to proceed with safety to
the work of refitting the machienary in com
plete order tor tuture operations.

The conference between France' and Aus

of a week. v ' .'
The discontent in regard to the terms of
peace are unabated, and tbe explanations of
the Emperor Napoleon are not considered as
reassuring.
The Sardinian representative to the Zurich
Conference has not been named, and it is ex
pected that none will be present, but that
Sardinia, if pleased with the terms agreed
upon, will acquiesce in the Austro-French
arrangement iu a separate article. It is
affirmed that Sardinia 5ia3 signed TaotLio?
but the armistice, and consequently is in a
nominal state of war with Austria.
It is supposed that an European Congress
will assemble after the adjournaieat of the
Zurich Conference
The exhibition of discontent in Italy to the
terms of peace continued.
The people of Tuscany show a strong
hostility to the return of the Grand Duke.
The provisional government has directed a
popular vote on the subject.
The English foreigu policy has, been un Jer
debate in tbe House of Commons. . Mr.
Disraeli opposed all iiterfercnce in the Peace
Congress. Lord Palinerston and Lord John
Russcl, thought that England might, with
propriety, take part, but no course was deter
mined on. Lord Elcbo gave notice of the
introduction of a resolution against any in-
teiercnce oy xngiana. iwr. 'xiadstone s pro

The Emperor Napoleon had received the
congratulations of the diplomatic corps at
St. Cloud ; the Pope's Nuncio was the spokes
man for the Embassador. The Emperor in
his reply, said, that Europe was so unjust to
him at the commencement of the war, that
he was happy to conclude a peace as soon as
the honor and interest of France was satisfi
ed. As a proof of this moderation, be trust
ed that the peace would be cndtirinff.
The Paris Bourse closed fiat and lower

The German Diet has agreed to restore
the continent and fortresses to a peace foot
ing. The following is from the Monitcur :
Palace of St. Cloud, July 31st The diplo
matic body having expressed its wish through
the organ of its PresiJent, His Excellency,
the apostolic Nuncio, of the Holy See, to be
received by the Emperor, to offer their con
gratulation on the conclusion of peace, they
had the honor of being received by his majes
ty. The Emperor, surrounded by the Grand
officers of the household, had at his side, the
Minister of Foreigu Affairs. Speaking the
name of the Diplomatic body. Nuncio ad
dressed his majesty ; Sire, The Diplomatic
body felt the waut to offer your majesty heart
felt aud sincere congratulations ou your
happy return, and the conclusion of peace.
The Emperor replied ; Europe, was in gen
eral, so uujust towards nie at the commence
ment of the war, that I was happy to be able
to conclude peace as soon as the honor aud
interests of France were satisfied, and prove
that it 'could not enter my iatcutious to
subvert boulverser Europe, aud provoke gen
eral war I hope that now all causes of
disseutiou will vanish aud that peace will be
of long duration. I thank che Diplomatic
body for their congratulations.
Further official documeuts have been issu
ed on the affairs of Italy, in reference to the
anexation of the duchies of Central Italy to
Sardinia Lord John Russcl, writin g to the
British Minister at Turin on the 28th of June
says :
Her Majesty's Government considers that
everything for the preseut must be considered
as professional, and the will of the people,
the fortunes of war, and finally, the European
treaty, the last resort, must settle the terri-
tonal arrangements and rirht of tha sover
eignty in Central Italy. "This' view, his
Lordship states, is shaved in by the French
government, and he infers that it is also the
view of Russia A despatch from Count
Cavour, in reply to one trom Lord Malmes
bury, iu relation to the neutrality of Parma,
complains of the unfriendly tone of the Bri
tish Minister's communication.
Le Nord says that it is clear that the re
turn of tho exiled rulers of Tuscany, Modena
and Parma, will be resisted by force, and if
England can consent to appear in tho Con
gress, now is the time when her voice may
be heard to advantage in behalf of Italy.
Parliament, In the House of Commons.
on Thursday, Mr. Bright inveighed against
tuc attacks upon the l'rench iimpcror. aud
consequently the French nation, which tend
ed this country into a war. If he was in the
position of Lord Russel, he would try to
emancipate himself from theold bloody tra
ditions -of the foreign office He would ap
proach France ia a sensible, moral aud
christain spirit, and test the sincerity of the
Government by proposing the alteration of
the tariffs of the two countrys in the interest
of free trade. He believed, if this nfJVr ha
honestly made, and not with diplomatic
finesse, it would bring about a different state
of thiugs. Lord John Russel said he had
seen, with pain, attempts made to awaken
feeliug in this country against the sover
eignty and people of I ranee, which could
only produce, on their part, a feeling of
animosity against the people "of this country.
He believed that the Emperor of France had
been the faithful ally of this country what,
then, was the meaning of tbe continual in
vectives against him t He beleived, as far
as he was concerned, that the Emperor had
been anxious to get rid of protecting duties
as injurous to France, but it would not be
prudent to give a handle to the protectionist
"party iu that country, to charge-bin with
sacrificing the interests of b ranee to those of
England. - ,
On 1 nday, in reply to an inqutry by Mr.
Pease, Lord Palinerston said that the forma
tion of harbors of refuge on our coasts was
an .object ot great importance, but it was
calculated that the expense that would be
incurred would bo about four millions of
pounds sterling ; so Her Majesty's Govern
ment uad no intention to propose a measure
upon this subject during tbe present session
in reply to . a question by Mr. Griffith,
Lord Euss-1 said that be had tinJeiv
from the Emperor of France, that tl
