To return rfter this digression. Should the House by the institution of Covode Com mittees, votes of censure and other devices to harrass the President, reduce him to subser vience to their will, and render him their creature, then the well ballanced Government which our fathers framed will be annihilated. This conflict has already been commenced in earnest by the House against the Executive A bal precedent, rarely if ever, dies It will I fear, be pursued in the time of my succes sors, no matter what may be their political character. Should secret committees be ap pointed with unlimited authority to range over all the words and actions, and, if possi ble the very thoughts of the President, with a view to discover something in his past life prejudicial to his character from parasites and informers, this would be an ordeal which scarcely aDy mere man since the fall can en dure. It would be to subject him to a reign of terror from which the stoutest and purest heart might shrink. I have passed trium phantly through this ordcaL My vindication is complete The committee have reported no resolution looking to an impeachment against me; no resolution of censure; not even a resolution pointing out any abuses io any of the Executive Departments of the Govern ment to be corrected by legislation. This is the highest commendation which could be bestowed on the heads of these departments. The sovereign people of the States will, how ever, I trust, save my successors, whoever they may be, from any such ordeal. They are frank, bold and honest. They detest delators and informers. I, therefore, in the name, and as the representative of this great people, and standing upon the ramparts of the t-onstituiion wnicn they '-nave ordained and established," do solemnly protest against these unpreceJented and unconstitutional pro ceedings. There was still another committee raised by the House on the 6th of March last, on injtion of Mr Hoard, to which I had not the fdightest objection. The resolution creating it was confined to specific charges which I have ever since been ready and willing to meet. I have at all times invited and defied fur investigation upon constitutional princi ples I have received no notice that this com mittee have ever proceeded to the investiga tion. Why should the House of Representatives derirt to encroach on the other departments of the Government? Their rightful powers arc ample for every legitimate purpose. They are me impeacning Dody. in their legisla tiv capacity it is their most wise and whol some prerogative to institute riid exaniina tions into the matter in which all departments of the Government are conducted, with a view to reform abuses, to promote economy and to improve every branch of administra tion. Should they find reason to believe, in the course of their examinations, that anv or 1 J grave onence uad been committed by the President or any officer of the- Government rendering it proper in their judgement to re sort to impeachment, their course would be plain. They would then transfer the question from their legislative to their accusatory ju risdiction, and Take care that in all the nre- liminary judicial proceedings preparatory to the vote of articles of impeachment, the accu sed should enjoy the benefit of cross-examin ing the witnesses and all the other safeguards with which the Constitution surrounds every American citizen. If in a legislative investigation it should appear that the public interest required the removal of any officer of the Government, no President has ever existed who. after civin him a fair hearing, would hesitate to apply me remeay. This I take to be the ancient and well es tabhshed practice. An adherence, to it wil best promote the harmonv and dignity of the intercourse between the co-ordinate branches of the Government, and render us all more respectable both in the eyes of our own coun trymen and of foreign nations.

We publish in another column this week, a full and accurate report of the proceedings of the County Convention which convened in this place on last Monday. We think it will not be found entirely uninteresting. As all our readers will perceive at a glance, we do cot place at our mast head the ticket notuina ted. We might under the circumstances pursue a different course. We might hoist the ticket and, as men have done in days gone by, while advocating it through the columns of our paper, secretly oppose it. But we scorn to do eo. We will not assassinlike stab any man in the dark. Unlike George N Smith, one of the delegates from this district to the National Convention, we will not "keep the word of promise to the lip, and break it to the hope. After calm deliberation, we have determined to take a bold and decided course; and with whatever of Democracy and patriotism remains in this county sustaining us, wo enter our solemn protest against the proceedings of the Convention on last Mon day. We place ourselves in an antagonistical do sition to the ticket nominated, and bid defi ance to any earthly arm that would drive us from our position. The Convention violated the rules and well established usages of the party; and the will of the honest and bona fide voters in two dis tricts was treated with contempt. The Penn sylvania Rail R.oad was endorsed in its ef forts to release itself from the payment of the three mill tax on its tonnage. The Conven -tion last, but not least, refused to ratify the plan for harmonizing the party next October and November adopted by the State Central committee; thus refusing to take high and national ground in the contest. If we desired a precedent to justify our course it would not be a difficult matter to find one. In 185-1 George N. Smith, editor of the Allegheny Mountain Echo, refused to place at the mast head of his paper the ticket nominated by the County Convention of that year. He not only opposed the ticket during the campaign but "crowed" over its defeat after the election. And this same George nelson fcmith is the gent'eman who was placed in nomination for Assembly on last Monday, We have much more to say at present but nave not room to do so. We hope all our subscribers will grant us a patient hearing. We have many important facts to lav before them next week. In the meantime, we hope .1 Ml tney wm peruse tne proceedings of the Con vention with care. It is an honest statement of facts, in which we have extenuated nothing, uur eei uow n augnt in malice. C3-We have received a well written cation, giving an account of the celebration of the glorious Fourth at Chest Snrinm, ; .u:. Ujunty. Yv e intended to publish it this week but the length of the proceedings of the County Convention renders it impossible for us to do so. It will appear in our next issue. Painful Circumstance.

On motion the Editors of the Democrat and Sentinel & Mountaineer were admitted to report the proceedings of this Convention; all other outsiders to be excluded. On motion of P S. Noon, Esq., James flyers Jisq., appointed doorleeper. The contested election case of Ebensburg Borough, was then taken up. Mr. Devine who had not been elected as a delegate, still in the chair; having the casting vote and deci ding all Parliamentary questions that arose. ma ine Convention then proceeded to the con sideration of the Ebensburg contested elec tion. Gen. M'Donald on behalf of Messrs E. Glass and n. Kinkead, made a statement to the Convention. He. said that on the dav of election, a large number of individuals ap peared at the polls claiming the right to vote; that no bonafi.de citizen of the borough had ever seen them before, and Would in all hu man probability never see them again. Many ot them instead of producing naturalization papers, Lad produced affidavits as to their pos sessing them in their stead, which was not 1 1 - 1 rri .... icgai eviueuoe. xney were colonized in Ebensburg for the purposo of controlling its delegate election, by Philip Collins the con tractor of the Ebensburg & Cresson Kail lload Company, ne was not opposed to them because they were Irishmen, but because they were colonized in this borough by an iodivid ual who wished to ride over it roueh shod. He was not going to say that a naturalized foreigner was not as good as a native born citizen, but he was not any better. He did not object to the unknoum voters in Ebens burg Borough on last Saturday, because they were foreigners, but because ey, were a very large crowa oi men unknown to the bona fide residents of the district, evidently imported and colonized for the purpose, of controlling uw uv.garc cicbbiuu LU U115 UOrUUgU. if. fc. .Noon Esq , replied at considerable length, and with much feeling; He read the list of voters, and contended that be and Mr. M Coy were legally elected. He was not in favor of turning men away from the delegate election because they were laborers on the Rail Road. Mr. Glass one of the contestanta was a native American at heart.5 and was not a reliable democrat. In 1857 he had voted agaiosi uoi. nasson, and in 1858 azaiLst r i - - James Myers. - Mr. Glass arose and in a very excited manner, said that the charze was a vile and infamous falsehood. Mr. 2oon reiterated the charge. Mr. Glass re peated that it was false. Mr. M'Coy then made a statement to the Convention, and read several affidavits setting forth r that Danio C. Zahm and William J. Williams the elec tion officers who signed the credentials, re mained at the polls until the election was closed, and assisted in counting the vote. Mr. M'Laughlin then plurrid for somo. a.

But the outside chairman did not h.. He declared the motionto admit M'Coy and Noon Carried, and they were accordingly admitted. ! The contested seats for th lt r Johnstown borough, were then takn It appears from the statements made that there were two election boards organized in the district on the day of the election.

Rutledze and Mitchell were known to be opposed to the nomination of George N. Smith for Assembly. The other sett was in his favor. A motion was made by a delegate that George Cupp and be admitted to seats in the Conven tion. The motion having been put there were loud cries of Aye and No. The outside President decided that the motion was carried, and Mr. Cupp and his colleague took their seats. This flagrant outrage on the will of two thirds of the Democratic voters of the 1st Johnstown ward, this open assault on equity and right, produced a general burst of indignation in the Convention, and the del egates from Cambria, Croyle, Munster. Washington. Susquehanna, and several other districts withdrew. (For list of seceding delegates see protest which we publish.) On motion, the Convention or what was left of it, proceeded to effect a permanent organization. Daniel M'Glaughlin was appointed President and James Burk Jr., and John M'CoIgan, Secratery's Mr. Devine then retired from the chair with all his blushing honors thick npon him, and with bright visions of the nomination for Register and Recorder before his eyes. ifut alas. "The best laid schemes of mice and men, Gang aft aglee." Mr. John E. M'Kenzie then arose and moved that the Convention adjourn for an hour for the purpose of affecting a reconcil iation with the bolters. He said nearly half the delegates had withdrawn, and there was no nse in making nominations under the cir cumstances. There was do use in nomina ting men for the purpose of having them bad ly beaten. Cries of o! No! Go on. The motion was rejected. The Convention then proceeded to nomi nate a candidate for Assembly. Geogre N. Smith received 29 votes William Kittcll ' 2 " Robert Flino 2 " When the Convention met there were 58 delegates present aud therefore SO. votes were necessary to a choice, let although Mr omitu aia not receive that number he was declared duly nominated. The Convention then proceeded to ballot for a candidate for Register and Recorder with the following result. James Griffin 22 votes Henry C. Devine 12 M. Ilasson 5 Geo. C. K. Zahm 4 Although Mr. Griffin had received only 22 votes, 8 less than the number required to nominate in full Convention, he was declared duly nominated. The Convention then proceeded to ballot for a candidate for County Commissioner. On the first ballot P. J. Christy, John Furgison, Simon Dunmire, B. M'Dermitt, Ben. A. Vaughn, T. B. M'Cabe, W. Weak land were voted for. The first ballot was as follows: Christy, had 7 voUa Furgison, 3 Dunmire, G M'Dermitt, 8 Vaughn, 1 M'Cabe, 8 Weakland, 7 This and the ballot for Register and Recor der show there were at least seven of the del egates who remained in the'Convention, who refused to vote on the ballot which nomina ted George N. Smith. On the ballot for As sembly, only 34 votes were cast. On the ballot for Register and Recorder. 43 votes were cast; why was this? Let the peoplo answer. Why was it that delegates who remained in the Convention refused to vote for George N. Smith, but were willing to vote for the candidates for Register & Com missioner? Again we 6ay, let the people an swer. After the result of the ballot had been an nounced, Philip S. Noon Esq., arose and said he hoped the Southern delegates would not force another nomination on us. Two South era men had already been nominated. He moved the nomination of John Furgison of Blacklick township by acclamation. Cries of "xNo:" "No!" "Another ballot" &c. O the second ballot no material variations were made; the Southern delegates evidently were reluctant to violate the pledges they had made in order to secure the nomination of George JN. fcmitn. James Myers, doorkeeper, J. C. Noon, Reporter, and P. S. Noon, delegate. "electioneerer actively among them for sometime, and Mr. Furgison was finally noni mated on the fourth ballot. On motion of Philip S. Noon, Esq., nenrv Hopple of Carroll township, was nominated by acclamation for Poor House Director. On motion of P. S. Noon, Esq, Peter J. Christy was nominated by acclamation' for office of County Auditor. James C. Noon, Thomas Callin and Dan iel Litzinger were appointed Congressional Conferees P. S. Noon, Esq-., then arose andoftV-A series of resolutions for the consideration of the Convention. They were the Kam those adopted by the Reading r?r.r.w: They were adopted; additional resolutions were adopted endorsing the nomination of 11. 1) oster for Governor, and i N. Smith if elected to oppose a division of vawuria iruumy . The following rrinl n fiz-in ... ar j Mr. M'Colgan u y JissUied. Tthat this Con proposition made by the State Central Com mittee, in relation tn th electoral ticket, as being fair to both wings of the Democracy of the State. That propo sition frames a basu nf unmn n Ti ocrat, who has the success of the party at WU1 rtycci; we, tne Ueprcscntativcs of the Democracy of Cambria County, pledge ourselves to unite upon this basis, believing it to be essential t the success of the Demo racy of the Nation in the approaching Presi dential election. Mr. M'Coy arose atd said, he hoped the Convention would not aet on the resolution just read. He had been elected to the Con vention on local issues, and he was prepared to go no further. He thought this Conven tion had no control over the Electoral ticket, and he was not willing to vote iu favor of the Resolution. - Let us attend to our county ticket, and let the Electoral ticket take care of itself Philip S. Noon said it might be the pro -position was a good one, but he was not wil ling to endorse it just now. He thought the proposition had not been adopted but was fi nally to be acted on at a meeting of the com mittee at Cresson. Mr. M'Colgan informed him he was mistaken; the preposition Lad already beeu adopted. (Mr. Noon was so busy last week in electioneering that he probably did not read the newspapers. The fact that R. L. Johnston, Esq., the member of the State Central Committee for this county voted against the proposition for a union of the Electoral ticket, at the meeting of the com mittee, accounts for the course of Philip S. Noon aud Robt A. M'Coy Eq., in the Con vention.) The resolution was not adopted. Mr. O'Friel of Loretto offered the following resolution. Resolved, That the candidate for Asscm bly be required to give a pledge, that if elec ted he shall opppose every measure calcula ted for the repeal of the three mill Tax charged on the Tonage on the Pennsylvania road. This resolution was also rejected on motion of Philip S. Noon Esq. His motion was to lay it on the table, which was of course equivalent to killing it. The Convention therefore endorsed the Pennsylvania Rail Road Company On motion of Philip S. Noon, Eq , the Convention then proceeded to appoint a coun ty committee; John II. Douglas Esq., of Clearfield was appointed chairman. On motion of Philip S. Noon., the Con vention then adjourned with three (very faint) cheers for the ticket; about 20 delegates be ing present. We occupied a scat as reporter in the con vention, and watched its proceedings carefully. We therefore know that all the facts and state ments contained in the foregoing report is correct. To Mr. James Myers, the door keeper, for Lis uniformly kind and courteous treatment of us while the convention was i t session our thanks are due. We. the undersigned Democratic DthgaUt selected from our respective Districts, to represent the Democracy in Vie County Contention, present this statement and Protest.
