"IVIre Pullers.
The Democracy of Cambria, on the6th day of
last July, in compliance with a time honored
custom, held a Convention, and placed in nomi
nation a County Ticket. They at the same
time adopted a scries of resolutions, in which
they endorsed the efforts of the National Admin
istration to put down the Southern rebellion,
and declared their dctermiuat ion to stand by the
President in all lawful and constitutional efforts
he might make, to crush out the insurrection,
save the Union and restore tranquility to the
Country. The ticket nominated was universal
ly conceded to be a good one, and to be compos
ed of reliable friends of the Union and the Con
stitution. All this was certainly national and
patriotic, and we cannot for the life of us perceive
how any friend of theUuion could find fault with
it. No proposition was received from any quar -ter
whatever for & fusion with the Republican
part', and tbe nomination of what is styled a
Union Ticket." Neither Daniel J. Morrell, or
any of his political agents, were present on the
occasion to make any proposition of the kind.
Shortly afterwards, the chairman of the Repub
lican County Committee, issued a call for the
holding of a Convention. Said Convention when
it met also placed in nomination a County ticket.
Mr. Morrell and his agents also absented them
selves on this occasion. Not one of them appear
ed to suggest to the convention the propri-ty of
proposing a fusion to the Democracy. Where
were they? Perhaps like the god B.ial,tiiey
were talking or pursuing, or were on a journey,
or per -adventure, they slept. At all events, it
was not until after the adjournment of the Re
publican Convention, that the world found out
what immaculate and self sacrificing patriots.
Morrell and his agents are. They, the aforesaid
Morrell and his agents, at once discovered that
the safety of the Union and our free institutions,
was imperilled by the fact, that the Democracy
and the Republicans of this County bad each
placed in nomination, tickets to suit themselves
composed of staunch Union men. Daniel J,
Morrell and Lis agents, although aH the world
and the rest of mankind, were perfectly satisfied
with what had been done, declared that it must
be undone, the afoiesaid ticket, knocked into a
three cocked hat," a Union Convention held, and
a Union ticket placed in the field. This alone
would save the Union, cause the rebels to lay
down their arms, and wipe out the disgrace of
the defeat of our army at Bull Ran. According
ly, Mr. DanielJ. Morrell, and Col. James M
Swank, Superintendent of Common Schools for
this County, made a pilgrimage to this place one
day during the first week of Court, for the pur
pose of making arrangements for holding a Un-
nion County Convention, and compelliug both
the Democratic and Republican County ticket, to
withdraw. M. S. Harr, Esq., was immediately
sent for on their arrival, and what our friend Col
Kcan would have called " a korkus,,' was held.
Mr. Harr was told what was to be done, and he,
highly edified to find himself in the company of
so rich a man as Daniel J. Morrell, and such
a learned man as Col. Swank, signified that he
was all obedience. A letter was prepared, sign
ed by Mr. Ilarr, and directed to Mr. Rutledge,
Chairman of the Democratic County Committee.
The korkus" then adjourned, and Messrs Mor
rell and Swank, started home rejoicing soothed
by the proud consciousness, that they had done
their utrao&t to Fave the Union from dissolution,
aud feeling confident, that if after all, the Coun
try should finally succumb to ruin, the goddess
of liberty, in that dark hour, would be ashamed
to shake her gory locks at them, and tell them
they did it. They were fusionists, and therefore
the future generations of man-kind, 'till the
1 ist syllable of recorded time, would regard them
as pure patriots," At parting Daniel J. Mor
rell shook Matthias S. riarr, affectionately by
the hand; whereupon, Matthias lifted up his
voice and wept for joy for he loved and
venerated Daniel exceedingly. It is said that on
on their waj- home, Mr. Swank assured his com
panion that the coast was now clear for his Con
gressional voyage that he, the aforesaid Mr.
Morrell, would certainly be the candidate of the
the fusionists for Congress next year.
Well, if inexorable fate hath dacreed, that
this district shall bo represented by a Republi
can in Congress during the next term, we would
as leave see Mr. Morrell elected as any other
man that has yet been named. Being one of
the proprietors of the " Cambria Iron Works,"
he is of course deeply interested in the iron busi
ness, and would therefore be sound on the Tariff;
and his recent pilgrimage to Ebensburg proves,
that, with the exception of Swank & Harr, he
is the only radical Union man in the County.
The letter from Mr. Ilarr, to Mr. Rutledge,
Chairman of the Democratic County committee,
is a very extraordinary document. It requests
Mr. Rutledge, among other things, to join him,
th e aforesaid M. S. Harr, in issuing a call tor a
County Convention, to be composed of an equal
number of Democratic and Republican delegates,
whose duty it shall be to place in nomination a
County ticket ; dividing the offices between the
two parties share and share alike. The nomi
nation of such a ticket would it seems, do much
towards restoring the Union to its prestine vig
or, and also probably, enable certain renegade
politicians, and broken down party hacks, to get
into office ; an event which cap never occur
while parties remain as they now are.
It is unnecessary for us to say to anv man that
is at all acquainted w ith the customs and rules of
political parties, that Mr. Rutledge does not by
virtue of his position as Charirman of the Dem
ocratic County Committe, possess the power to
enter into an arrangement of the kind proposed
in Mr. Harr's letter. The Convention which ap
pointed the Committee of which he is Chairman,
before doing so, placed in nomination a ticket.
It did not invest Mr. Rutledge with power to
withdraw that ticket at his pleasure, or to call a
Convention to got up a ticket in opposition to it.
It is the duty of the Committee, as good Demo
crats, to labor honestly and zealously to elect
it. If a vacancj should occur in the ticket by
death, resignation or otherwise, it would be for
the Committee to say how that vacancy should
be filled. Aside from this, they possess no au
thority or control over it. Mr. Rutledge there
fore, very properly, rejected Mr. Harr's propo
sition, without giving it even a moments
consideration.
The truth is, the whole arrangement looks
like an ingenious humbug, intended to throw
" dust in the eyes" of the people. If Mr. Mor
rell intended to maka the proposal for a fusion
of the two parties in good faith, why did he de
lay doing so until the eleventh hour until each
party had placed a County ticket in the field?
Why did not he and Col. Swank present their
proposition to the Democratic County Conven
tion ? or if they were too modest to do that, why
did they not bring it before the Republican
County Conven ion ? Why did they wait un
til there were two tickets in the field and the
campaign half over, before they moved in th?s
matter ? They discovered perhaps when it was
too late that there was no earthly chance of el
ecting their ticket, and the nomination of a fus
ion ticket alone would secure for the Republican
party, share of the loaves and fishes at the
approaching election. It is ridiculous to suppose,
that the Democracy after placing in nomination
an excellent and available ticket, would with
draw it, and fuse with a party whose sectional
principles they have always loathed and despis
ed. They are not disposed to this, in order to
accommodate Morrell, Swank and their clique.
It is not true, as has been publicly asserted,
that the Republican party unanimously desire
a fusion with the Democracy of this County.
The action of the Republican County Convent
ion proves exactly the contrary. We have heard
a number of prominent Republicans say. that
they are well sati&Sed with their County ticket,
and wish to stand by the landmarks of their
party. They therefore desire no union with
the Democracy. But for Swank and narr, it
might be said of Mr. Morrtll that, iu this matter
he is,
The last rose of summer
Left blooming alone."
The Cambria D emocracy, belong to a party
that has always been true to the Union whose
principles are emphatically national ond conser
vative, and which has given all the aid and com
fort in its power, to assist Mr. Lincoln, to crush
the Southern rebellion. They think they can
perform their whole duty as patriots without
abandoning their party and its principles, in or
der to oblige his high mightiness Daniel J.
Morrell, and in obedience to his crders unitin"
and coalesing with a party whose principles they
despise. It has been asserted that the Republi
cans in almost every County in the State, where
they have a majority, have fused with the De
mocracy. This is untrue. We need only name
such Republican Ccunties as, Indiana, Somerset,
Blair, Alleghaney, Philadelphia, Armstrong vVc.
where straight out Republican tickets have been
placed tn nomination.
Of cou rse in al'udiag to this matter, we are
actuated by no unkind fceliugs towards Mr, Mor
rell. We believe him to Le an honest, useful
and energetic citizen. But as a politician, w
think he is a little too much disposed; to rely on
and overrate the influence he is able to wield, as
one of the proprietors an 1 managers of one of the
largest manufacturing establishments in the State
We understand that he has toasted, thai
his influence has changed this from a Democratic to
a Republican county, since he became a ressdenl of
it. Democrats, are you willing that he shall
make good his boast ? Teach him that he is
mistaken, on the second Tuesday of next October.
Crj-The Emperor of Russia has written a letfa
to the President of the United States, in which
he expresses deep sympathy with our Govern
ment in the unhappy position ic which it has
been placed by the iSouthcrn rebellion. He ex
presses the hope, that the Union will be restor
ed to its former power and tranquility, and that
it may thenceforth go on forever, prospering and
to prosper. He says that Russia has always cher
ished the most friendly relations with the Uni
ted States, and felt the deepest solicitude for
the continuation of its happiness and prosperity.
He has no sympathy for the Secession movement,
and evidently has not the remotest idea of ack
nowledging the Independence of the Southern
Confederacy.
wimt will tliev say now 1
When Gen. John C. Fremont, issued his cele
brated Proclamation, declaring martial law
in Missouri, and "also that the property
real and personal, of all persons in said State,
who shall take up arms against the United States,
or who shall be directly proved to have taken an
active part with the enemies in the fields,' is de
clared to be confiscated to the public use, and
their slaves if they have any, declared freemen.
Every Republican news paper in the United
States, gave it at once their unqualified appro
val. They pronounced it a perfectly patriotic,
wise and statemanlike document, with which it
was little less than treason to find fault. They
were particularly delighted with the clause with
regard to the confiscation of property, and the
liberation of slaves. They contend that it was
strictly warranted by the laws of our country.
It will be seen by the following letter from Presi
dent Lincoln to Gen. Fremont, that he diflers
with them in this opinion. He regards all or ai
least a portion of the clause referred to, as un
lawful, and orders that it shall be modified no as
to conform to the provisions of a recent ac$ of
Congress. The President deserves credit for hit
firmness in this matter. The Abolitionists every
where, will of course, bo indignant, although
they won't likely say much. Our Republican
contemporaries, having endorsed the Proclama
tion of Fremont, are now placed in an awkward
position, ill tlicy back, up or bacK Uown
They'll back down of course, and so they ouht
to. lhey probably won t be so last the nsxt
time.
Washington. Sept. 11. 1SG1. Major
Geu. John C. Fremont: Sir Yours of the

received. Assuming that j'ou, upon the
ground, could better judge of the necessities
of your position, than I could at this dis
tance, on seeing your proclamation of Au
gust 30th, I perceived no general object iou
to it. The particular clause, however, iu re-
latiou to the confiscation of property and the I
liberation of slaves, appeared to me to be ob-
jectionable in its non conformity to the act of

on the same subject and bence I wrote you j
expressing my wish that that clause should be
modified accordingly.
Your answer just received, expresses the
preference on your part that I should make
an open order for the modification, which I
very cheerfully do. It is, therefore, ordered
that the said clause of said proclamation be
so modified, altered aud constructed as to con
form and not to tran cend the provisions on
the same subject contaiued in the Act of Con
gress, entitled ' an act to confiscate proper

Agricultural Fair.
Our farmers should not forget that in less
than two weeks from this time, the annual Fair
of the Cambria County Agricultural Society,
will commence in this place, aud that it is time
they were beginning to consider what they will
present for exhibition on the occasion, Let the
display of live stock, vegetables, fruit, grain &cy
be as largo as possible. " Our farmers can if they
will, get up an exhibition, that will be an honor
to little Cimbria. Every farmer in the County,
who has been blessed by a kind and bountiful
Providence, with an abundant crop, and a well
filled barn, this year, should attend the Fair,
which is intended to forward the noblest of scien
ces; the science of Agriculture. Aside from this
every hardworking farmer after the toil of the past
year, which has been so well rewarded, requires
a little relaxation and pleasure, and so docs his
family. And what better occasion could be scl
ected for this, than the approaching Fair, where
both amusement and iu.-tructioii will be happily
combined. The managers are making every
necessary arrangement for the accomodation an 1
comfort of those who may attend. An excel
lent ban 1 has been engaged, 'the ring is being
repaired, and abundant provcude will be furnish
ed for all live stock that may be entered for ex
hibition. The premiums offered it will be seen
by reference to the bills, are quite liberal, and
well calculated to excite spirited competition.
Under the circumstances, we entertain no fear
that the Fair will prove a failure,
03 We are glad to learn that the Abolition
Proclamation recently issued by Gen. Fremont
in Missouri, was not authorized by the President
or his Cabinet. Mr. Lincoln lyes repeatedly as
serted that he is not can ying on this war for the
extermination of slavery, but for the purpose of
rescuing the Union from dissolution, and we
presume he was honest in making the rnnounce
ment. We can therefore very readily believe,
that he did not authorize Geu. Fremont to'issue
the Proclamation, referred to. It will, we fear,
have a bad effect on the loyal men in the revolted
and border States, as it will boused as a power
ful argument 1 y influential demagogues to con
vince them, that the abolition of slavery is the
great object of the war. Wo think Gen. Fre
mont was a little too fast, but that of course is
only ou r opinion.
d7We have frequently been asked if Penn
sylvania volunteers in ths United States service,
have the right to vote for StAte and County offi
cers. After carefully, examining the Act of
Assembly on the subject, we entertain no doubt
that they have. They possess the same right to
vote that they would at their homes on the day of
election. The Act fully provides as to the man
ner in which the elections shall be held, the offi
cers who shall hold it, the manner in which the
returns shall be made out forwarded &c.

To Col. E. D. Towxsexd : Wo yester
day marched seventeen and a half mile,
and reached the enemy's entrenched position
in front of Connifix Ferry, driviug his ad
vance outposts aud pickets before us.
We found him occupying a strongly en
trenched position, covered by a forest too
admit of its being seen at a distance of three
hundred yards. His force was five regiments
besides tha one driven in. He had probably
sixteen pieces of artillery.
At three o'clock we began a strong ree
connoisance, whioh proceeded to such a length
that we were abjul to assault the position on
the flank and front, when night coming on
and our troops being completely exhausted, I
drew them out of the woods and posted them
in order of battle, immediately in front of
the enemy's position, where they rested on
their arms till morning. m

The enemy ha 1 destroy 1 the brile ;ros
