Tlection In another part of this paper will be .an roimn tlu r.Wt;..:i ,C i thia county. This was not considered a uartv oueation in the State, nor did the ! State Central Committee nor any Demo cratic newspaper in the State, urge the people to vote on either side of the ques- ' tion. Partisan Abolition papers advoea- j ted this measure with extraordinary ear- J nestnes. and endeavored to make the i vote on it a test of loyalty or treason, j The Democratic party began to suspect j that there was something at the bottom of this, beyond their new bom zeal for the soldier. It was u!vay3 the doctrine j oi me j.emocraiic party to exten t the privileges of the elective franchise as far aa possible to the white race ; twenty-five years ago a Democratic legislature of Pennsylvania, with a Democratic Execu tive at their head, extended this right of voting to soldiers in the service of the United Slates. This right had been ever fince accorded to ihem by the Democratic party until a Democratic Sheriff had beer, declared elected by the aid of the soldier rote. This same Abolition party attack- iue cousuiuuunauiy oi the law and . succeeded in getting a decision of the Su- prcme Court against it, nd also in oust- ...1 t . . f . -ml ins; thc Sheriff who had got elected by th soldiers' vote. Thc Abolition party never before showed any liberality in extending i :, . i ii i . . J J c i tune, neither should any good Democrat the right ot suffrage to any man except ,i w.c,,0 .t A c , . , , , 1 1 cloc'1Iie the po.-ition on account of the un he was a b.acii man, on the contrary they ! 0qU.,i contest, ii'cre :iUv!ivs f'nr nl.i'i.l.Tn,., ; i, !

They would not if they could prevent it permit thc soldiers to vote now, if they thought they could not use that vote for their own base paitisan pur pose. Thc Democrats of this County knew, that that was their object, sind were de termined so far as this County was con ivrncd, the Abolitionists would not dic tate to them what to do. De-ides ihei- .ul not like to let an Abolition l.lt.. i tinker at the Con-titu'i ion. , " iow sacreu , .... i an ins,ruuu,lt, to be manipul,,,,! by po- !

A. j liarkcr, Esq , of this liorough, for Con j grtss We trust that our County will be j remembered in the nominating conference j which will shortly take place by the Dem j ocratic side of the question. Yc would be much rejoiced to have the two con gressional candidates in this county, so that they could watch each other ; tho' if the conference decide otherwise, we will euhmt aa eracefullv as we can. To be i successful, a heavy part of the work will j be left for Cambria county to do. Mr. j Barker is a strong man and can run well, I to this we can personally bear testimony. As to his strength we have seen it tested by lifting the 5G's of the staler of weights and measures, and if we reccollect aright there was not a man in town stronger than he. And as to hi5 running, we were present when he entered himself for the first prize at one of our agricultural fairs? and there were only two came out ahead of him at the first heat, and we believe that if the condition had been to run the best in three, without any rest or rubbing down, that his chance would have been I good for the first prize. With these pre j liminary prestiges, ho turned his attention ! to Congress, and has now succeeded in i getting the nomination from that model paity- We will handle him gently until his competitor comes into the field, and then we will scrutinize both their qualifi- cations for the highest law making power in the country. He may have qualifica tions for that office that we are not aware of, and we will patiently await their de velopemont. lie may be like our friend Peter liort man, who, a few weeks ago. como imo our otiicc, ana in me course oi conversation, told u.s that he had received ,m pxceIIent Plication along the river Ilhine, where he was brought up; we come into our office, and in the course of asked him what became of it. lie told us he had given it to his brother who was going out west and would need it there, and as he was to r side in Cambria coun ty, he did not require it. We had not a word further to say. So Mr. liarker may have left his congressional accom- ! lillliinfinfa in tin g f Af oinn vi-ltli Pome friend to whom they would be of service, as he would not require them here in Cambria county We will not treat this matter verv seriously at the V1, uvl'X'l it is hard for us to realize it, and we will attend to it in the future. If we lr.cddlo the milk now, we can't get the crc.im ; " No tune to sw:q horses in crossing a ttreatn ." Congress, Whatever may be said of the oi.i'ldate of the Abolitionist:, for Congress, they have done Cambria county but justice, She has never yet had one of her citizens in (Jonjrrosi3-, ilurinjj the sixty years of her existence. AVe trust the Democratic Conference will also concede the man to Cambria. If the Abolitionists with a majority of 1,000 against them in this County get the candidate, how much more should tl e Democracy with that majority in their favor ! But tho Ix;wistown True JJttnucrat says that neither Huntingdon nor Cambria has presented a candidate. Neither has Blair nor Mifflin, say we. The convention in ti,osc Counties has not even been called yrt. (;ooi1 IUCM in uIl thc Counties Lave Ul-on mnt of l.v tUr, f,;.iH i ., , . w, - J IL'l' t j UUk liO County as such, has yet named her man. vQ man should n.v his ,l1(im, ,.t tl.;l I : m inn ..,. ,.,.. .

They will doubtless present a man, not inferior in capacity or popularity to those that may be presented by the other Coun ties. They will we doubt not, urge the claims of Cambria county by all fair and honorable means ; and, we trust, will " have their claim allowed."

Governor Curtin is out in two procla mations, calling on the people to organize for the defence of the State. The procla mations are very ambiguous. The men are called out for the emergency, and get transportation, uniforms and equipments from the United States. We can't tell what disposition will be made of these emergency men if they were collected to gether in the State. But it is likely they would receive the same fate of the other brave soldiers of Pennsylvania gobbled up by the Secretary of War and sent to help Grant. Our State, that was once the pride and Keystone of the Union, since the incumbency of our present Gov ernor, has become, so far as defence is concerned, a mere province of the United States The Governor, who should have a well regulated militia force at all times at his command, sufficient for the defence of the State in any emergency, seems to have forgotten that there is any such clause in the Constitution. He cries to Lincoln and Stanton, always, when the rebels make their periodical visits to our fertile State. lie sometimes calls on tho Governors of New York and New Jersey for relief, and theso copperhead Govern ors did not withold it from the loyal Curtin. Lincoln and Stanton could not spare one man to save the State of Penn sylvania from ruin, notwithstanding they had got from Pennsylvania regiment upon nenf, and bataHion upon batallion, . , . j regimen ana ncsnies her sous are scattered around among every regiment of the federal army, Not a Union soldier to protect her soil from invasion. Who is to blame for all this? Are the rebels to blame entirely for these incursions ? They are certainly j to 11 ime for acts of vandalism arid cruelty t to 1 1 ime tor acts ot vandalism ami cruelty j when thv commit them, because no ac- ! lion of our soldiers, however baso and de- ! j graded, even is a justification for acts of barbarism. They have burned down a great part of that beautiful and opulent town of Chambcrsburg, situate in that fertile valley of the Cumberland. They had visited it twice, before, and behaved as honorable warriors would do: took what they wanted, und destroyed noth ing. Put at this time thev declared they would give them a small taste of the mode of General Hunter's warfare. It is not to the rebels we are to look for protection, it is to the Governor, and there is. no ex cuse for him whatever. Why does he not now, after Pennsylvania has been thrice disgraced by the rebel vi-its with as much impunity as if they had the war rant of Abe Lincoln in their pockets, tell the Administration that they should not have another man from our State until her own soil would be protected. He is the executive of a sovereign State, or once a sovereign State, and holds his office with as firm a tenure as Abraham Lin coln does, none of them would be there except by the provisions of the constitu tions they are now trampling under foot. Perhaps Curtin likes not to disoblige Lincoln and Stanton, as the latter boasted it was he elected him, as he sont thirty thousand soldiers to Pennsylvania at the last gubernatorial election to vote for him, and he had only fifteen thousand of a majority. Could he only spare five thous and to watch that war path near Cham bersburg, we would not have these peri odical humiliations that we are getting so well accuf tomed to. ar Sens. The Confederates have again crossed the Potomac. They advanced in two columns. One body crossed at Hancock. Averill tried to prevent them, but was not able, and ran away, with a loss of seventy-nine nun. Tho ntl crossed the Potomac at Shepardstown, ana captured llagerstown. They ad vanced (o the Pennsylvania border, but did not cross. Gov. Curtin calls out the militia for State defense and the State service. There is nothing doing at Pe tersburg. Picket firing has almost ceased there. The capture of Atlanta has been a failure. Tlie greater part of General Stoncman's division of cavalry was cap tured on the raid on. the railroad at At lanta. The Federal loss was. twenty seven hundred, killed and captured, with all the wagon trains of the expedition. This is a synopsis of the news so far as we have it. We must have more men ami more money. es-Mr. and Mrs. Brewer, of Wayne county, Ivy., have twenty. two children. This is perhaps the most extensive brew cry in the west. Election Returns. Iielow you have the election returns in this County. In another column we have spoken of them according to our own opinion. It will show you that the peo ple are alive to their own interest with regard to the elections hereafter. No person told them to vote cither for the amendment or against the amendments. 15ut it is to be seen in every Democratic township in the county they voted simul taneously against the amendments, with out knowing what any portion of the State was doing on the subject. They saw that the administration of Lincoln and Curtin was in for them to the death, and that was sufficient f. r them to take the alarm because they knew that never was the party that went in fur the country. They knew they went in for themselves and let the country go to the dogs. Districts.

Time and energy and industry might worm through the im mense national debt. The evil effect a rising from the infringments on the in dividual rights of the people, the suspen sion of the habeas corpus, the arrots without trial and without jury, through length of time, might be entirely forgot ten, except as a curious remeniscence. like the blue laws of Connecticut. The wickedness and cruelty of this adminis tration, and their unliounded extravagance would he nearly obliterated in another generation. The malignant legislation may he swept from the statute books which these abolition invaders of the constitution have passed for the last three years Lincoln's proclamations may be remembered in execration of his memory. In centuries hence, all that mischief that aoolition has done, may be only a matter of hi.-tory Elect Lincoln again and thc nation dies, and with it dies forever any effort to establish a popular government on the face of the globe. We have no doubt the abolitionists will try to elect him ; but they are sewing the wind to reap the whirlwind.

What people in any ae or any country, has borne with so much pa tience, so many and such violent encroach ments upon their natural and constitu tional rights as we have for the last three years 1 The right of speech, the right of a free press, the right of free elections for our representatives, under the restric tions of the law and Constitution, the sa cred right of domicil, the ri-ht of trial oy our country, and the great right of that great writ that is most valuable and valued by every people in every country having a voice in their government, all set at defiance, all repudiated, all denied, under the specious pretext of a "military necessity."

Some very "loval" man ' liepublican or Abolitionist may say, 1 " What has our President done to" forfeit j the confidence and esteem of the people." i I answer, the President has not been lion- j est or truthful to the people, upon any j measure of his administration, but es- j necially has he been false to every mom- ; i?c and nlediie ho nindi nnon tlip ?villivi,f the war. In his message July 1, 1 80 1, he states that the powers and duties of the Federal Government relative to the ritrhts oi ine ruites ami people umier the C on- stitution, should be preserved ami admin istered as it was admin' jred by the men who made it that coercion, conquest or subjugation was not to be the object of the prosecution of thc war. On the 23d of August 18G2, in his letter to II. Grcely, he says: "My para mount object is to save the Union, and not cither save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeipg any slave, I would do it. And if I 'could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would do that." In the procla mation of freedom issued on dm vl.. 18G2, he says, "That hereafter as' here r . i .... toiore the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the consti tutional relations between the United States and each of thc States, and the people thereof, in which States the rela tions is or may be susjended or disturb ed." In his letter to the Springfield con vention in 18G3 he repudiates the ocject of the war being for emancipation, he says, " Whenever we shall have c onquer ed all resistance to the Union, if I should urge you to coutinue lighting, it will be an apt time then for you to declare you will not fight to free the negroes." Abraham Lincoln Bays duly 18G1, to whom it may concern "ant; proposition lcftich emirates the restoration o' caec, ttc integrity of the whole Union and th aban donment of slavery, will be met by lilieral terms." From the fort-oinir declarations i and promises made in the most soW manner, the President did not mean? ifl'T; i " 'fT !
