THE ADD it ESS.
We publish this week an "Address to the
voters of Cambria County." signed by the
Chairman of the Democratic County Commit
tee. Wc givts it a place in our columns mere
ly because we have been requested to do so,
and not because we regard it as an official ex
position of the views of the County Commit
tee with regard to citner ISatioual fetate or
Countv politics. The members of the Com
mittee never directed that it should be pub
lished, the assertion that it was published "by
order of the Committeo," to the contrary,
notwithstanding. The members of the Com
mittee never perused it until after it appeared
in the Mountaineer and Echo. Want of
room prevented us from publishing it last
week.
The "Address" is entitled to respect as an
exposition of the views of its author with re
gard to the political issues of thc day. But
neither the County Committee nor tho Dem
ocratic party arc responsible for any thing it
contains. It is nothing more than a Com
munication, expressing the views or opinions
of its author, for which he alone is respon
sible. The portion of the "Address" which re
lates to popular sovereignty may be right or it
may be wrong The Author has a perfect
right to Construe the resolution of tbe Cincin
atti platform regarding popular sovreignty, in a
manner to suit himself, but he has no right to
proclaim to the world, that the Democratic
County Committee construe it in thc way
that he docs, without first consulting them,
lie is certainly well aware that many mem
bers of the Democratic party, especially in the
Southern States, understand it differently, nd
it is therefore harsh for him to call them dis
vnioniitt. because their views clash with his.
Many of them are statesmen who have done
the "State some service," and are as de
votedly attached to thc Union as he is. Tbey
are not aud never have been disunionists.
As we have already hinted, we do not wish
to be understood as expressing au opinion
with regard to the correctness or incorrect
ness of the views with regard to popular sov
reignty, contained in the Address A dis
cussion of the subject at tho present, time
might tend to destroy the harmony and good
feeling which now exists in the rauks of the
partv in this county. We are 'willing to
stand on the Cincinatti platform until 18G0.
Tf .1 . M I r i ii .
xi iue suaneMou vxmvenaon snouia enlarge
it, and insert in it undemocratic planks, we,
like every honest democrat in the land, would
fearlessly pursue the course which conscience
told us was right. But iu the meantime, we
dony the right of either County Committees
or their Chairmen, to construe that platform
and say which of the different wings of the
party is composed of friends of the Union and
which of Disunionists.
We have said this much with reluctance.
But when any man or men undertake to ex
ercise powers to which they are not entitled,
we think that it is not out of place to let
them know, that they cannot do so witi iuj-junity.
Down on Durbin.
The Hollidaysburg Whig aud Johnstown
Tribune last week, pitched into Mr. Durbin
in a manner fierce to behold. Tl ey evident
ly are bent on exterminating him before the
campaign is over. But we will feel disap
pointed if the vigor and success of the war,
comes up to the 'lofty and high sounding tone
of the manifesto." Our cotomporaries are mis
taken if tbey suppose, that their personal and
unmanly attacks on Mr. Durbin will induce
the citizens of the district to vote against him.
They should know by this time, that their
coarse and personal abuse of the candidates of
the Democratic party, has more than onoe pro
ved iojurious to the Kow Nothing and Black
Re-publican cause The more personal abuse
is heaped on Mr. Durbin the better for him.
Ho should if possible procure, a hundred cop-
ies of the last Whig and Tribune, and distrib- I
ute them among the voters of this county
By so doing he would increase his majority ia
this county at least one hundred votes
All who are acquainted with Mr. Durbin
know that the assertion that "he is unfit to
represent an intelligent constituency" is un
true. It is true ho. has "never been to col
lege," and that he is possessed of nothing
more than a common school education; and it
is equally true that he cannot make a speech
"full of sound and fury, signifjiog nothing."
The same objections might have been urged
against Washington "the father of his coun
try." And yet he is universally conceded to
have been the greatest statesman, and purest
patriot our country has ever produced. The
Editors of the Tribune have more than once
expressed a very exalted opinion of John Co
vode of Westmoreland, and they know that
he will probably be the next candidate of their
party for Governor. Yet they will not pre
tend to say that he is either a scholar or a
man of ability. Mr. Durbin in poiutof abil-
ity, is his superior, it tne iilack liepubli-
can n&rtv has determined to hereafter main- I

We have during this and last week, had
an opportunity of conversing with democrats
from every township in the county, and it af-

that we are now firmly convinced that the

of thc party at the approaching election.
This is as it should be, for the ticket is com

ADDRESS,
To the Toters of Canbria County.
The Committee, appointed by the Demo
cratic County
address their Fellow citizens of Cambria Coun
t ia view of the iniportance of tbe approach
election, Adoptiog for a motto, the in-
vocation of the "visest of men, we nay to the
people of Cambria, "Come, let us reason to
gether," upon the measures offered for our
support, and the men who are our standard
bearers in carrying out those measures
Popular Sovereignty is the pervading and
controlling sentiment of the Democratic far
ty; it is their "cloud of smoke by day, and
their piller of fire by night," to guide them
in their path of duty to their country and her
institutions. They thus leave the exciting
question of slavery to the control of those
among wtiom it exists, subject only to the
Constitution and the judicial tribunals of the
country; condemning alike the Northern abo-
litionist who would exclude slavery from the
territories by Congressional intervention, and
Southern disunionists who would protect sla-
very in the territories in the same manner.
This is the platform of the Cincinnati Conven
tion, endorsed by the letter of acceptance of
our venerable Chief Magistrate, proclaimel
iu his Inaugural Address the platform an-
nounced and vindicated by every democratic
statesman in the country, who only differ as
to its application, while they agree upon the
principle; and upon this platform we fear-

This principle-the right to eove:n our
pelves so simple that every father of a house
hold understands it; so pervading that the
greatest statesman in tbe land acknowledges
its vitality; is the same that sunk British tea
a the BostoJJ iIarbor. that HghteJ np thc
ures of the Revolution; that inaugurated th.
Declaration of Independence, and that "ha
.
made and preserved us a nation." It is
doctrine -which elevates the inhabitants of our
territories into the rank of our fellow citizens;
while the intervention doctrine degrades then
into the position of subjects.
This is the doctrine which every den ojrat
from Maine to Georgia, from Pennsylvania to
California, proclaims and vindicate?; against

But the opposition urge against Mr. Dur

he cannot make a speech. This is true
Durbin is not au educated man. lie has
never been within the walls of a college, and
his education is confined to tne ordinary bran-
ches of an English education, acquired in the

been spent in our midst, as a merchant and a

business qualifications, we doubt not he will
receive the hearty support of every true dem-

over Mr. Litzinger m either honesty or com-

Philip S. Noon Esq , has been nominate
as District Attorney. To those who have
heard his niauly and el-Kiuent voice, we need
not utter a word in commendation of Phil
Noon, as every true hearted citizen of Cacj
bria county is proud that one so highly nfiej
with eloquence, and the still rarer ji3fi:e.
of manliness and truth, haj been reared in
our midst. His election will secure to tho
country an officer not only fearless iu tho
discharge of his duty, but of surpassing abil

Of the balance of the ticket it is unneces
sary to fpeak. They are all honest and ca
pable, all deserving of, and, we trust, will
receive the united support of thc democratic
party.
It is objected by fch e that the county
ticket is objectionable, for the reason that
proper regard hainot been piid to the localitg
of the candidates This is unfortunate
nominating conventions should always en
deavor to have every locality represented on
the ticket. But it is too late now to raise
that question The test of Thomas Jefferson
becomes the true and only fair test of candi
dates. "Is he honest is he capable?" We
are fully satisfied that both thes questions
will be answered afnrmativelj- at the polls,
