A Kind Word to Our Neighbor.
We are sorry to be under the necessity this
week, of continuing the profitless and proba
bly to the public very uninteresting contro
versy which has been going cn for sometime
between the Editor of the Mountaineer and
and onrself. There is however cne or two
points in his last article which we cannot in jus
tice to oursclf pass over in silence. Passing
over the very bad pun about an "interesting
weakly,' which he stole from the Democrat
dr Sentinel of the lstinst.. we will come that
very interesting portion of his article which
trcatej.h of individual called Sam, and his in
tere.t:n sen Samoa. Our Le'ghbt r admi 8 that
Black Republicanism is the child of Know
Nothingism. liat he Eeems to forget that
the child has a very bad fault which the pa
rent had not. The Know Nothing Partv was
a sectarian party. The Black Republican
Party is not only a sectarian but a sectiona
party also, and he seems likewise to have for
gotten, that while the first has lost its vitali
ty, the second is with the exception of the
Democratic Party at present the most pow
erful organization in the country.
Oar neighbor does not attempt to reply to
the arguments which we adduced in defence
of the democratic member of Congress, who
voted for a National man who was not a dem
ocrat for Speaker, rather than allow a Black
Republican, an open and avowed disuaiouist
to be elected. As he probably overlooked
that portion of oar article altogether, we re
publish it in order that he may have an cp
portunity of replying to the arguments it con
tains, if he should see proper to honor us
with a column and a half of Editorial next
week.
Oar neighbor evidently thinks himself
very shrewd man, but probablv after all h
is not as shrewd as he thinks he is. Knowing
that a large number of the democratic voters
of the County are Catholics he endeavors to
excite their indignation against the Democrat
ic Member of Congress who voted for a na
tional and conservative man who was charged
with being a Know Nothing. Those mem
bers had for weeks labored to secure the elec
tiou of a Democrot, but they at length found
they could not succeed. The perceived such
traitors as Ilickman daily acting with the
Black Republicans and assisting them to elect
Sherman the endorser of Helper's book which
reccommends a semle insurrection in the
South and the forcible abolition of the insti
tution of slavery. The Harper's Ferry in
surrection and the sympathy everywhere man
ifjsted among the Black Republicans for the
fate of Old John Brown had produced the
most intense excitement, and they felt that
something must be done to save the Union.
The felt that the Union could not survive the
election of the endorsor of Helper's treason.
They therefore determined to cast their votes
for a national man who was not a democrat,
in the hope that national men of all parties
would rally to his support. What else could
they do as patriots and friends of the Union'
under the circumstances. Mr. Bocock the
democratic nomiuee for Speaker approved of
their course, and our neighbor will please re
member that nearly all the anti-Lecompton
democrats joined in the vote. Do you really
think, Mr. Editor, it was the duty of the
democratic members to set with foiled arni3.
and look calmly on, whilo the Sampson of
Black Republicanism was shaking the pillars
of the Republic to their very foundations?
Was it not their sworn duty to support the
Constitution, and discharge their duties faith
fully? was it not their duty if possible to
prevent the land from being drenched in fra
ternal blood? We think so, and we therefore
honor them for their course. Thew knew
well that the Black Republican party was the
child of Know Nothingism they knew that
nearly all the Black Republican members be
fore them were Kuow NothiDg9, that Know
Nothingism originated ia the North, and re
ceived its death blow in Virginia, a South
ern State, whose soil had just been invaded
through the instigation of these same North
ern Know Nothings, under a new name.
They knew that it was in the North, .and not
in the South that churches were burned and
pillaged,- and they knew that nearly every
man who is now a Black Republican was a
Know Nothing in 1S55. They therefore de
termined to endeavor to kill Sam and Sambo
at one blow, and in this they would have suc
ceeded but for a few such traitoas as John
Ilickman.
If the National Man for whom the demo
cratic members voted had been elected, the
Committee of the House would have been
controlled by Democrats; now they are con
trolled by Disunionists. . There is the difier
encc neighbor, in a nutshell.
Our neighbor denies that Ilickman is a
political hypoerit. We proved in the article
from which wo make the above extract, that
his political career thus far has been nothing
but a tissue of political treachery and hypocra
cy. lie can see nothing wrong in Ilickman
opposing the Kansas Nebraska bill in 1S54.
He seems to forget, that the doctrine of pop
ular sovereignty in the Territories, has been
a cardinal doctrine of tbe Democratic Party
since 1S50, and that it was embodied in the
compromise measures adopted by Congress
that year. The Democratic National Con
vention of 1852 endorsed those measures,
and thereby declared popular sovereignty a
doctrine of the party. Mr. Ilickman knew this
well, yet he opposed the Nebraska bill, mere
ly because it embodied the doctrine of popu
lar govreignty, and our neighbor contends
he was perfectly right in so doing We have
now done with. Mr. Ilickman. We are con
scious of having recently bestowed more at
tention on him than he merits. Ho is now
in a position in which he cannot possibly do
the Democratic Party any harm, of which of
course we and all sincere democrats arc very
lad. We would however remind our neigh
bor, that wc denounced Ilickman for deliver
ing Black Republican Speecher in Congress,
as well a3 for voting for a Black Republican
Speaker.
Uur neighbor asserts that he has never
been guilty of political inconsistency. We
are not quite sure of that. We recolhrct that
at December court 1S57 he was Lccompton
Democrat, and at the March court following
a ranting Anti-Lecomptonite, If that wasn't
political inconsistency, we dont know what
is.
Our neighbor publishes an extract from an
article which appeared in this paper a few
weeks previous to the late election, in which
we proved by an extract from the "Legisla
tive Record" that Mr. Proulfoot the opposi
tion candidate for Assembly was a Know
Nothing Our neighbor declined publishing
the same extract with a few introductory ob
servations, although more than once revues
ted to do so. He evidently did not feel dis
posed to offend Mr. Proudfoot and his Know
Nothing friends just then. By so doing he
might possibly have injured certain candidates
in whoso election, for peculiar reasons, he felt
deeply interested. He therefore left Mr
Litzinger to take care of himself, and refused
to publish that which was likely to promote
his election. If he had been as sincere a
friend of Mr. Litzinger as he is i ow of
Hickman, he would have published the ex
tract and introduced it with a column and a
half of editorial at least. If he had been as
fierce then as he is now in denouncing Know
Nothingism, tbe public would give him some
credit for sincerity in his opposition to Sam
and Mr. Litzinger would probably believe
that he was his sincere friend last fall.
The State Convention.
The Democratic State Convention will meet
in Reading, Berks County, on Wednesday o
next week. Its proceedings will exert a pow
erful influence on the result of the approach
mg political contest. "As Pennsylvania
goas so goes the Union," and for the Democ
racy to go into the contest for the Presidency
with the certainty of losing her vote in the
Electoral College, would be equivalent to go
ing into it with the certainty of encountering
a disastrous defeat. The members of the
Convention should therefore foci that in a!
human probability, it is in their power to de
cide whether a Democrat or Black Republi
can, a friend of the Union, or a disunionist
shall be inaugurated Prcuidcnt on the 4th of
March 18G1. and that they have it also in their
power to save not only the Democratic Party
but the Union from dissolution. Their con
stituents expect them to act like Patriots an
not like Demagogues. like Democrats in prin
ciple, and not merely like Democrats in name
If they fail t9 act thus, of which we cntertaia
no apprehensions, they may expect to be
henceforth regarded by their constituents, as
enemies of the Democratic Party, and trai
tors worthy to "fall into ranks" with John
Ilickman and John W. Forney.
At the present time the indications are that
the delegates to the Charleston Convention
will be instructed to support Hon. John C
Breckenridge of Kentucky for President.
They cculd not possibly be instructed to sup
port an abler Statesman, a purer Patriot, or
a niore consistent Democrat. His record is a
Statesman is oce of which he and his party
have reason to feel proud, and wc firmly be
lieve his nomination would at once unite the
party. He is universally popular with the peo
pie, and may truly be aid to be a National fa
vorite. As he isno factionist, if nominated even
those who are numbered among the dissatisfied
and disaffected, would rally to his support.
While on this subject we feel it to be our duty
to state.that a large majority of the Democracy
of Cambria are opposed to th nomination of
Hon. Stephen A. Douglas for the Presiden
cy, and do not endorse his construction of the
resolution of the Cincinnati Platform relative
to popular sovereignty. Our delegate to the
State Convention R. L. Johnston, Esq , is
well aware of this, and will we presume reg
ulate his action in the Convention according-
O

C7 The following is a list of the successful
candidates at the Election ia this Borough on
last Friday:
Justice of the Peace David II. Roberts.
Constable George GurUy.
Burgess Andrew Iewis.

J3T" Our neighbor of the Allcglianian
seems to regard the election of John W. For
ney as clerk of the U. S House of Represen
tatives by Black Republican vote?, as a with
ering rebuke to President Buchanan If the
democratic members or even a majority of
them had voted for Forney, Mr, Buchanan
would of course have reason to feel mortified
at his success. But as it is, the President
and his friends have just cause for feeling
proud of tho signal and": convincing proof
his malignant maligner has furnished, that
fo far from being even a fisliy democrat, he
is an Abolitionist or what is the same thing
a Black Republican. If the election of For
ney by Black Republican votes was a rebuke
to Mr. Buchanan, so also was the bestowal of
a commission by the British government on
Arnold after bis Treason, a rebuke to Gener
al Washington The cases arc almost, if not
exactly, parallel!
All our Democratic exchanges speaks in
terms of the strongest condemnation of For
ney's treachery. They are unanimous in sty
ling him a traitor, renegade, demagogue and
Black Republican. Thank IIeaven.be is now
in a position in which he can no longer do
the Democratic Party any injury. His 'oc
cupation" as disorganizerjof its ranks is gone
and his malignant 'abuse of its distinguished
members will henceforth only be regarded as
tbe ravings of a fanatical Abolitionist. '

Mysterious Death Suspicion of Foul play
The Clearfield Iicjullican, of last week,

Wc are informed that Wm. Ilousler, a
citizen of this county, residing generally in
Karthaus tp., lost his life in Lock Haven, in
somewhat a mysterious manner, one iiigiit last
week, giving rise to suspicions that he had
been murdered and robbed. The circum
stances, as we have heard them, are that Mr.
Houslcr had been to Philadelphia, where he
had received a sum of money, amounting to
about 250; that he had been followed by
two men from that place cn his return; that
they had been in company with him at Lock
Haven, and on the night in question he was
found in one of the hotels, in a dying condi
tion, with evident marks of violence upon
him. One of the men had disappeared, and
the ether attempted to explain that the inju
ries to Mr. II. had been caused by Lis fal

ing man had .only breath to contradict, but
