met at Altoona for the purpose of appointing
a Senatorial delegate, it was ascertained that
a majority of them were anti-Douglas men.

FOR GOYRENOR,
HENRY D. FOSTER,
OF WESTMORELAND COUNTY.
Captain George Xelsou Smith.
We will endeavor to reply, in as few words
as possible, to the statements and arguments
worthy of notice contained in the leader in
the last Alleghany Mountain Echo. In doing
bo, we will endeavor to avoid harsh and uu-
gentlemanly language. As we never com
mute 1 to memory a vocabulary of billings
gate and fish market slang, we beg leave
to notify the Editors of the "Echo" and
"Mountaineer," that so far as personalities
and the calling of hurd names are concerned
"we rcknowledge that they are vastly our su
periors Bat in the statement of plain uncon
trovertible facts, we think we are still slight
ly in advance of them; probably because we
have a much larger stock of the article on
hand than they have.
Captain Smith starts out by asserting thtt
only a few mouths ago, an editorial article
appcard in the Democrat tfe Seniinel highly
eulogistic of himself, urging him to allow hi3
name to be used as a candidate for the Legis
lature, and announcing hiui as such. This
we bldly pronounce incorrect. Wc never
published during the last two three or four
months, any such article. Our files are open
to the inspection of Captain Smith, and if
be can find in our columns an editorial ar
ticle of the kind described ia the Echo, we
will agree to republish it and acknowledge
ourself fairly vanquished. We are certain
we never indited any such article.
Oa examiuiug our file, we find that the
following paragraph appeared in our columns
during last March Court.
SST Captain George X. Smith, will be a
candidate lor the Legislature next fall. So
says many Democrats.
The io formation contained ia the para
graph was strictly true. We had heard Cap
tain Smith frequently spoken of during the
previous week as likely to be a candidate for
the Legislature "subject to Democratic rules"'
aud we merely published the fact as a matter
of news. We are at a loss to know how any
man could possibly construe the article into a
eulogium on Captain Smith, or as urging Lira
to be a candidate for the Legislature. But
if the Captaiu reg'arus it as an eloquent eulo
giuai on his many shining qualities as a man,
patriot and statesman, we are glad of it. And
furthermore, if he desires, to adopt it as his
Epitaph, and have it inscribed on the tomb
stone which will mark Lis grave after he has
departed this life, ho is perfectly welcome to
do so. We do not intend securing tho copy
right. Or, iy the way Captain, wouldn't it ba
a good idea to have it printed iu pamphlet
form for gratuitous circulation among your
friends: It would aoubtlessproaucc a scusa
tion.
We come now to the portion of our friends
article, in which he endeavors to explain
and vicdicate his course in the Democratic
National Convention. In order to under
stand fully the position he occapied towards
Senator Douglas at the time he was appoint
ed by the Heading Convention a delegate to
Charleston, it is necessary to go back to the
winter of 1S57-8, Captain Smith was then a
member of the House of Representatives of
this State, and was regarded as one of tho
most influential and popular members of that
body. The celebrated Lccompton controver
sy had just commenced, and Stephen A.
Douglas, John V. Forney, Horace Greely
and their myrmidons, were engaged in assail
ing Mr. Buchanan and Lis Administration
with fiendlike malignity. Captain Smith
was one of the first democrats in the State to
take a bold and decided stand in defence of
the policy of the Administration. He con
tended that Buchanan was right, and Doug
las wrong, that justice aud sound policy
ference, he had givon the most solemn I
pledges to the Conferees and others, that if
appointed delegate, he would do his utmost
to prevent the appointment of Douglas dele
gates to Charleston. We may add that while
here during March Court he openly stated
that he was opposed to Douglas, and that he
could not be nominated; It will also be well
to remember, that he was appointed not as a
Brechcnridje man hat as ait, Anti-Diuglas
man.
When the Reading Convention met he took
his stand among the Anti-Douglas men. and
was by them appoiuted temporary chairman,
over John Cessna of Bedford, Douglasite.
He acted with the Anti-Douglas men through
out, and when he was appointed delegate to
Charleston, he wa3 everywhere and by all
parties, set down on the liit of Anti-Douglas
delegates.
When the Charleston Convention met it
was ascertained to a certainty, that John C.
Breckcnridge was not a candidate for th
Presidency, and Captain Smith forthwith
Summcrscttcd into the ranks of the Douglas
faction. He contends that the wilhdrawel of
Mr. Breckcnridge released him from all
promises, pledges and public declarations,
and that he was left free to act as he pleased
Permit U3 to say with all due deference.
Captain Smith, that you male a strange ee
lection under the circumstances. Tour first
choice was Breckenridge; you knew him to bo
the advocate of the doctrine that territorial
legislatures do not possess the power to abolish
slavery in the territories, ycur second choice,
Douglas, held and still holds the opposite doc
trine: You thus in a moment flew from the
one extreme to the other; from popular sover
eignty, to squatter sovereignty, from the friend
of the National Administration to its malignant
maligner, from the man who endorsed your
course in advocatingtheadmissionof Kansasuu
der the Lecomptou Constitution, to the man who
had denounced you as the advocate of fraud tyi
ranny and corruption in bo doing. You knew
very well, that if the Conferees who appoint
ed you delegate to Reading, by which means
you secured your selection as a delegate to
Charleston, had known that your second
choice wa3 Stephen A. Douglas, they would
never have appointed you. You knew that
a majority of the Democracy of two out of
the four Counties of the district, Cambria and
Huntingdon, were bitterly hostile to the nom
ination of Douglas. Why even your own
packed County Convention, the other day,
were afraid to pass resolutions endorsing the
nomination of Douglas. Moreover, you could
not but know, that Stephen A. Dougks was
not the man for the crisis; that his nomina
tion would not unite the party. You knew
that he was the author of the dissensions
which existed iu the rank? of the party, and
that but for him the Charleston Convention
would have been as harmonious as that which
convened at Cincinnatli in 185G. You knew
that a majority of the delegates from every
Democratic State iu the Union, with the ex
ception of two, were opposed to Lis nomina
tion. Yau knew that the Southern States
unanimously protested against it. and that he
would therefore if nominated, be no better
than a sectional candidate. You knew that
Our Neighbor.
, Our neighbor down street must excuse us
this week. Wo have only room to pay our
respects and wish him well. He dont like
cur report of the proceedings of the bogus
County Convention. Well, we didn't think
he would when we published it. It contained a
number of truths which were doubtlesj rather
unpalatable to our neighbor aud Lis friends,
but we could not conscientiously avoid prin
ting them. We think our report was strictly
correct. Mr. M'Cormick, a dclegato, in a
communication which we published last week,
confirms nearly all our important statements.
Our report was certainly more full and cor
rect than that contained in the Mountaineer.
Our neighbor's report did not contain a list
of the delegates. It did not state trrat a res
olution relative to the three mill tax was laid
on the table, and that another endorsing the
plan of the State Central Committee for uni
ting the party was not adopted. It did not
state that a resolution instructing the candi
date for Assembly ia the event of his election
to oppose any division cf this county was
adopted. These were important items ia the
proceedings. Then why were they omit-
tCd? .
Furthermore, it appears,"thal Le don't lik
the course of the 21 delegates who seceded,
and Le is not satisfied with their protest.
This also we anticipated. Our neighbor
should remember that all the men who .signed
that protest arc good citizens and reliable
democrats, and that many cf them were ac
tive and reliable members of the Democratic
party when Le was arrayed in petticoats tunt
crinoline and might have been mistaken for
a "little gal," They acted as delegates from
the impulse of duty, and it is a matter of lut
little importance to them whether their course
is or is cot endorsed by (he editor of the Moun
taineer. More anon.
Opposition County Cuuventloo.
The delegates met at tie Court House on
Monday at 2 oclock, P. M. and organized by
nppointing James D. Il&siilton Kq., Presi
dent, Wm. Douglass Esq., acd Samuel Cane,
Vice Presidents. H. J. Roberts, Wm. M.
Jones. Secretaries. We intended rublisbintr
a full report of the proceedings of the Con
vention, but have net room to do so this week.
The following County Ticket was placed in
nomination. Assembly, A. 0. Mullin. Esq.,
Register and Recorder, E. F. Lytle, Com
missioner, James Cooper, Poor House Direc
tor, Win. Douglass, Auditor, Win J. Nel
son. II.' J. Roberts, Esq , was appointed
chairman of the County Committee. Hon.
Samuel S. Blair was declared the choice of
this county for Congress, and was authorised
to appoint conferees, Fifty five delegates were
present.
Tbe time has now arrived when tLe Na
tional Democracy should be op and doing
A county Convention should be called at as
early a day a3 possible, and a Ticket com
posed of National Democrats, the friend) of
Br ecken ridge Lane ei.d Foster, placed in
uomiLation. TLis is bo time for betdtaticg
or filteritg. Tbe crisis demands promt, de
termined and energetic action. The oppo
sition Lave placed their ticket in the field,
and we must prepare to meet them. If we
place tho right kind of men in nomination.
we can elect them without difficulty.

Do not fail to peruse carefully the able
speech of Mr. Buchanan oa our first page.
It ia a brief but able and convincing argu
ment. It contains the ablest analysis of Doug
las squatter sovereignty doctrine, wc have
yet seen.
The Johnstovn "Eclio" In 195 I.
Captain George N. Smith ia the Mmoeto
which, he published iu the Echo last week,
denounces as disorganizes the Democrats
who have announced their intention to vote
against Lira on tho Eccond Tuesday of next
October. Now there b no man in this Coun
ty, from whom such a denunciation comes
with worse grace, than from George N. Smith.
As we stated two weeks ao, b.3 openly op
posed the Democratic County ticket in IS "; 1
although it had been fairly and honestly nom
inated. The "Echo" epposed it" fro:u the
"word go," and "rejoice! exece Jingly" over
its defeat. To prove this, it is'oaly neces
sary to republish the following editorial arti
cle which appeared in the Echo of Oct. 11th
1854, the week after the election. It is
written in the regular spread eagle, Lifalutin
style of the Captain, and lie was doubtless
"fierce to behold' when he indited it Hear
him:
That riavh In the lan.
Our burst of indignation against the treat
ment recc-ived from our northern brethren,
was lacghed at. We were spoken of iu the
most contemptuous manner. Our revolt was
m ridicule called "a flash ia the pan, a tem
pest in a teapot'. Many were fool-Lardy
enough to defy us. They "didn't care a d u
about onr support, they could carry th elec
tion without us." But the tricksters . dem
agogues at Kbensb'irg have now been taught
a lesson from which we Lope they may lc3ru
ww Join. They depended too long on our
ductility. They goaded us too deeply. In
our desperation we turned upon them and
hurled them to the t2rtb, where we leave
them for a while to reflect upon their treach
ery and their perfidy.
TLey now realize tbe mortyfvice fact that
our revolt, our casiii. off of the yoke of tyr
anny was not "a flush in the pan." not r
mere teu:pet in a teapot." It na- iLes'orni
for which we have !on warned them to pre
pare. We tlJ them that a ti-n:p..-t was ap
proaching, that dark clouds wi re lowering
over them. Oar pn j.hecy l as been fulfilkd
for the ftorui ar. last burst frth with terrific
fury, tbfct they Le driven to their
lurking places, Ii?cvt!:5ttcd, dismayed and
disgraced.
To the noble and chivalric Democrats of
Southern Cambria, who heroically stood by
us in the late fierce conflict, we tender our
most sincere thanks. They Lave our warm
est feelings of gratitude, and shall ever be
remembered for their loyalt r. To those who
joined us in our struggle for independence.
but who in the darkest hour of our adversity
in the fiercest of the battle, vaingloriously
fled; we leave them to their own remorse to
brood over their Cowardice and their baseness.

to Toacl.ers,
tie nomination of such a man as Guthrie,
Dickenson, Seymour, Pierce, Lane or Hunter,
would unite the party; and yet you refused to
vcte for any of them, and oa every ballot sus
tained Douglas who, you knew, to be odious
to a'majority of your immediate constituents
to the Democracy of Pennsylvania and the
Lnion.
If your object at Charleston and Baltimore
was to break up and disorganize the Demo
ccatic Party you performed your work well.
But if you sincerely desired to unite and
strengthen it, you performed your work very
badly. The Democracy on the second Tues
day of next October will rebuke your course
in a manner you will long remember.

tho function of lifj, deal, decea-cd. Now, th?
spectacle of a defunct dead or deceased man
beckoning gentlemen out of a convention
would be fromethiug startling to tbe nerves of
most people. WLetber as a matter of natural
Listory the act would be possible is not cer
tain. I never hf-ard of it being done until
I perused your notice. It is a matter which
premptorily challenges the attention cf meu
of science.
"Speak not evil of the d?ad," i3 a maxim
of conduct which goveras most men. civil
ized or babarous. If I am "defunct"' or dead,
why should I net Lave the benefits of this
rule? I am trying to be as qriiet as a mice
not tned llittg with any bo ly; yet you attack
mc defunct as j-ou say lam. ia a manner
J worthy cf a political hyeca.
.Now, James, laasaiuca as you insist upon
dragging tue before the public, I will make
you a proposition. If jou uoire to discuss with
tue auy or all of the igsues in the present po
litical canvass, I will enter the ring with
you, and invite you to open up. If Messrs.
Zahm and Murray will permit me the occa
sional use of their columns, I will answer
you; or if you will publish for mo iu the
Mountaineer, I will try to make your papier
lively, sparkling and interesting. The amuse
ment would be innocent, the exercise "benefi
cial it would do you good to get into a
sweat in tbe dog days and if you will agree
not to lolt, but stay until the fieht closes, the
audience will see some faa.
Yours, R. Y'kiie.

But we will not indulge in the reflcctious
which the course of Mr. Crawford irresisti

gladly acquiesce ia any compromise that
would defeat Lincoln, and thus truly repre
sent the wishes of the great majority cf the
Democrats of this district. But h? has thought
proper to pursue another course and to de
clare himself opposed to union and harmony.
We have no riLt to question Lis motives,
