Tlie Opposition in Trouble.
The leaders of the Black Republican party
are cow busily engaged at Washington City,
in endeavoring to arrange matters for the
Chicago, Convention. There can be no doubt
. that a majority of th"m are hast d 3 to
the nomination of lion. Win. II. Seward for
the Pre;i iency, but how tt get ridof Liawith
out offending his numerous friends is the dif
ficulty. They know that he is not available,
and that with him as the standarl bearer of
the party a disastrous and overwheluuag de
feat would be certain. But he and his friends
do not think so. They believe that he is the
man for the ciisis, and are determined to la
bor zealously to secure his nomination. Al
though he is a man of great abilities, his
'higher law" and "irrepressible conflict" doc
trines would render it impossible for him to
receive the support of tb e Conservative por
tion of the Oppositioa Party at the ballot box
and he would be defeated without any diffi
culty .
A strong effort wjll be made to nominate
,'llon. Edward C. Bites of Missouri ; if he is
cot the man, it will not be the fault of the
politicians of the party. They think that in
asmuch as he is not so ultra in bis views
with regard to slavery as Mr. Seward, he
would make the most available candidate of
of. the two. Bet it is objected to him that be
a citizen of a Slave State, that he once owned
laves, that he is opposed to the repeal of the
Fugitive Slave Law , that he was an Ameri
can and not a Republican in 1S5G, and voted
for Mr Fillmore for President. The true
blue "irrepressible conflict" Republicans
wouldn't support him if nominated, with any
thing like enthusaisra or zeal. He is not ul
tra enough to please the mass of the Black
Republicans of New England, New York,
Ohio, Illinois Sec. His conviction too with
the Know Nothing Party, would injure him
ecricrusly in certain Western States where for
eigners coapose a considerable part of the
Black Republican forces.
Si men Cameron of this State is a "dead
cock in the pit." If the Harrisburg Conven
tion hd been ucuauous in his favor, he
niiht possibly have been nominated. But
the most influential politicians in the State
are hostile to htm. In truth he is everywhere
regarded as noth'ng more than a shrewd reck
less demagogue and adroit political trickster.
He is no Statesman, and therefore totally un
unfit to fill the highest ofBce in the gift of the
American people.
Accoording to the Philadelphia Inquirer,
an effort will be made to nominate Judge M'
Lcan, of the U.S. Supreme Bench. It is
not at all likely, however, that any consider
able number of delegates will feel disposed to
vote for him The friends of Mr. Seward
seem determined to stand firm; he is anxious
they should do so, and as he is the first choice
of the "rank aud file of the party, the chan
ces are that he will be nominated. Bat if so,
he cannot and will not be elected.
The discussion which has grown out of the
consideration of the claims of the various as
pirants for the Presidency, by the Republican
press of the country, proves conclusively that
the party at present contains two distinct and
hostile factions; the ultras and conservatives.
The first desire the nomination of Mr. Se
ward, the second of Mr. Bates There is al
so a Etrong faction hostile to Mr. Seward be
cause be was not a Know Nothing in 1855,
sad favorable to Mr. Bates, because he was
then the disciple of bigotry and intolerance.
But as we have already said, notwithstanding
all this, Mr. Seward is the strong man of the
party, and the mass of th,e party is with him
heart and soul. They believe with him, that
tho fugitive slave law 6hould be repealed,
thbT a!s5 b?licTa with kia, tha thare is aa
irrepressible conflict between the slavcholding
and non slaveholding States. They approve
of his endorsement of the infamous doctrine
of Helper's Book, tb-at it is the duty of the
people of the Northern States to abolish Slave
ry in the South, peaceably if they can. forci
bly if they must. They desire to see the prin
ciples of their party fearlessly Eustained. J
The nomination of any 6uch man as Mr. Bates
would be received by them with loathing and
contempt.
While the Democracy in every section of
the Union are fast uniting for the approach
ing political contest, it will be seen by what
we have said that the Opposition are dividing
just as rapidly. One wing contends that
Mr. Seward is too ultra in his views with re
gard to the Slavery question, the .other that
Mr. Bates is too conservative'. Many are
hostile to Mr. Seward because he is opposed
to the principles of the Know Nothing Party,
while a large cumber are opposed to Mr.
Bates because he belongs to that pros-
cnptive organization.
The Democracy will encounter no difficulty
in triumphing over the Piebald Opposition
next fall, if their Standard Bearer 13 a States
man and a Democrat, and that he will be
such, we entertain no doubt.
ORG1XIZC '
The opposition party of Pennsylvania are al
ready actively engaged in organizing for the ap
proaching' campaign. The Democracy should
imitate their example. It is not too boon now to
commence the good work. An early and effi
cient organization will render victory certain.
Without it we may be defeated.
As in 1850, Pennsylvania will be the battle
ground in the great struggle next fall," and the
result in October will unmistakably foiesbadow
the result in November. If Foster is elected the
contest will in reality be over. It will be a vic
tory as overwhelming and discisivc as that of
General Washington over the British at York
town. The opposition will at once give up the
contest iu despair. Under these circumstances,
the Democracy of Pecnylvania feeling the weight
of the responsibility resting on them should at
once preprre for the projer discharge of the im
portant and responsible duties which as Ameri
can citizens is about to devolve on them.
The task of organizing for the campaign should
not be confided entirely to those who are regar
dvd as the active jxHiticians of the party. Every
Democrat should work in the neighborhood in
which he resides. Democratic Clubs should be
organized in every election dis'iict of the State,
arid documents defending and explaining the
principles of the party should be extensively cir
culated at as early a day as possible. Now is
the time to produce aa impression and convince
honest and patriotic members of the opposition,
that their party is a sectional, anti -Republican
Disunion organization. It will be a difficult
matter to do this during the excitement of the
campaign. The course we have indicated would,
we are certain, if rightly carried out, do more to
render victory certain than Mass Meetings, Pule
Raisings and Stump Speeches.
fc-Alr- the Democratic papers in the State
have endorsed the nomination of Hon. IIexet D.
Foster for Governor, in ably written editciial
articles. The Democracy in every section of the
State are delighted at the result. Never has a
nomination in this State been icceived with so
much enthusiasm and unanimity. Even the
most ultra Black Republican papers acknowledge
that the Democracy have nominated their strong
est man, and that be will be hard to beat. His
nomination secures a Democratic victory next
October, which will render victory in the great
contest in November certain. Pennsylvania will
be right foi Foster in Octoler and right for the
nominee of the Charleston Convention in Novem
ber. She despises the harsh and discordant mu
sic of the disunionists, and is determined in 1SC0
as in 1S5G to "carry the flag and keep step to the
music of theUnion."
jCThe triennial election for County Su
perintendents of Common Schools, for the dif

I am too old, Mr. Editor to properly discharge
the daties of the office, and besides you know
I aint much of a scholar. But I presume
that would not' be regarded as a serious objec
tion. I hope the Superintendent will be a
gentleman who will endeavor so to train the
minds of the male portion of the rising gen
eration of Cambria County, that they
will all be worthy to be at least Presidents,
members of Congress, Constables, Justices
of the Peace, or Country editors, when a

jCir"The following communication was
handed to us for publication yesterday. As
its author is a reliable and working Democrat
we cheerfully give it a place in our columns.
It will be seen that he u of the opinion that
it would be wise policy on the part of the
Charleston Convention, to nominate General
Henry D. Foster for President. The idea is
a new one we think, or at least we never be
fore heard it 6uggestedJ"t?sriainij the Con
vention could not selecfan abler S fates man or
purer patriot. He would bea popular candi
date, and with him as their standard bearer,
the Democracy would march forward to cer
tain victory. But of course Gen. Foster does
not desire that his name should be used in
connection with the Charleston nomination.
He accepted the nomination for Governor
when it was unanimously tendered him by
the party, without . any toltpitation on his part,
and having entered on the campaign, he is
determined to fight it through. The author
of the following is alone responsible for the
suggestion it contains. We presume the del
egation from this State will support Hon J
C. Breckenridge. of Kentucky, or if they
do not they ought to. But if at any time du
ring the session of the Convention, it should
become necessary to brings ftirjrtjrd a new man
we "believe it would bo ' wiie ""policy on the
part of the Pennsylvania delegation to suggest
the came of Gen. Foster. This is merely our
opinion as an individual, formed without any
previous consultation with any one, and we
give it to the public as such.
Tor the Democrat and Sentinel.
Mr. Editor: The Democracy of the United
States are a National Party, recognizing the
principles, "that we owe an allegiance to a tchole
country, not to a parted one." We believe
that, ia the next contest for the Presidency, the
perpetuity of 'the institutions of the country is
involved. We see the North and the South ar
iaycd against each other one a.-king one defini
tion of a platf jrm and ti e other asking another.
To be successful, we must come together. Now.
let us take a survey of the field. -
We take it for granted, that a "Northern man
with Southern principles" will secure the vote of
the South. Wiiat your correspondent means by
"Southern principles," is the constitutional
"right,", xd" the S-juth. TLSyetlm Stafs
number 120 votesl It is admitted that Califor
nia and Oregon will cast their votes for the Dem
ocratic candidate. leaving but twentt-skvex
votes to make the President. Pennsylvania, the
old Keystone, can furnish them. No President
has ever been elected without the electoral vote
of Pennsylvania. We must give it to the jho
cessful candidate next fill.
Who can carr3 Ponied vania? We answer,
"The Max ok the People." The expression.
unexampled in the histTy ot Pennsylvania poli
tics, in favor of Hon. Hexey D. Foster, points
him out as the man. On him have the Democ
racy of Pennsylvania united, not only for Gover
nor, but, if need be, foi President. Let our Del
egates to Charleston take this matter into con
sideration. Pernsylvania as a unit can effect
something, and it is meet that this suggestion
should come from the Mountaiu Countv.

Should the Mexican treaty be rejected, and

The Democracy or Pennsylvania.
The recent Democratic State Convention is
an augury of the success of the Democracy of j
that State in the approaching campaign. The !
business of the Convention was to nominate a
State ticket for the October election, and to
select delegates to fae Charleston Convention.
Both these duties were harmoniously and
wisely discharged and action of the Conven
tion wax such as to give increased strength
and confidence to the Democracv of the State.
The selection for Governor, although it final
ly fell upon a candidate who had not been
prominently urged beforehand, is conceded to
have been a fortunate one, calculated to unite
the party and command great popular strength
Even the New York Tribune concedes that
the choice of the name of Mr. Foster by the
Convention is "a strong nomination."
The delegates to Charleston, like those
from Yew York, are left uniostructed as to a
Presidential candidate, and will go to the Con
vention entirely at liberty to exercise a wise
and patriotic discretion in casting their votes
for 6uch name, as, at the time and under all
the circumstauces, seems likely to best har
monize the Democratic and national senti
ment of the country, and to have the most
certainty of success to the polls.
There is every reason to believe that the
electoral vote of Pennsylvania will next fall,
as in 1S56, be cast for the Democratic nomi
nee. Whatever dissensions may have existed
in the internal politics of that State, she is not
even in name, Republican,
