Nor is he to blame for that, he may not have had the opportunities nor the early training to fit him for a life of that kind, and it would be unkind and unjust to blame him for ir, and we would be the last to detract any of the good qualities from him that he possesses. And he has many good qualities. He is strong, ac tive and energetic, and honest we believe in business transactions. Hut he exhibits a total disregard of public feeling when he launches his bark on either, to him unknown streams. He i3 willing to keep his name up as editor of the- Alleghanian, and let people reach over eighteen feet of publishers and hit him as the editor, all for notoriety, when every person knows that knows anything about the concern, that he never writes a line for it, nor could he. Indeed we are credibly iuformed, he cant spell cow without a K. As we said before, we don't blame him for that, it was not his business. He had a good letritimate business, and was successful as IT he deserved to be, but when he attempts to lead the community in lelles-lettre, in oratory and diction, he will find that the people are not much more gullable than they are in the State of Maine. He will rind human naturo pretty much the same in all its phases wherever he plants his standard. lie will find himself in the same condition with which the ancient table instruct us. A large sheep of the masculine gender got tired living with his flock, and took it into his head that he would hereafter herd with the cattle. So he wended his way to their pasture field one fine summer morning. The bovine raco became in dignaut, told hiui he was entirely above his business, so he had to retire with cooled ambition, minus part of his fleece. This fable may be applicable to Mr. llarker, he may have got tired herding with his own flock, and may have let his ambition run away with his judgment in endeavoring to get into a new sphere of life, and he may have to retire with only part of h"i3 fleece left. Time will tell. We aro tired with men being put where nature or the author of nature never in tended them. The hietory of Abraham Lincoln's dynasty should havo given us a satisfactory surfeit of business of this kind. ly his unfitness for the position in which he was placed, he has torn down a country in less than four years, that look nearly eighty years of wiso and prudent statesmanship to build up. 44 The hand writing is now on the wall," 44 he has been weighed in the balance and found wanting." He has not to send for a Daniel to decipher it either. His own household or rather his own party is giving it the interpretation. They are Jefferson Davis. If he don't mean this, we wish some Kepublican to explain it for us. 4 ' If such a thing could happen as that the Chicago candidate, nominated upon such an agreement, should be elected President of the United States on the first Tuesday of November next, avuo can VOUCH FOR THE SAFETY OF THE COUNTRY AGAINST THE REBELS DURING THE INTER VAL WHICH MUST ELArSE BEFORE THE NEW ADMINISTRATION CAN CONSTITUTION ALLY come into power? It seem s to me that such an election would tend equal ly to demoralize tiie Union and to invite (lit insurgents to renew their efforts for its destruction." Who vouches for the safety of the country now ? Will not Mr. Lincoln be Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy until the Fourth of March next, if not re-elected ? The people are not pre pared to believe that Mr. Lincoln, al though he may be a knave or a fool would commit a treason of that kind. It is sharp way to frighten the people to vote for Lincoln. We publish the correspondence be tween the candidates for Congress in this District, Mr. Johnston our candidate challenges Mr. Darker to meet him before the people, and discus3 the questions at issue. Mr. Darker gets an expert to write a letter for him, and clumsily copies it, by which he pretends that Mr. Johnston is only asking leave of him to address the constituency of this District. The writer of the letter deserves credit for his ingenui ty in avoiding the issue, and if any fortui tous chance should get Mr. Darker elected, and he takes this gentleman along with him4 they would make a tolerable shrewd Congressman between them, though not a very brilliant one. He will, however, not be put to the trouble of hunting up a man to go along with him. The peopl are not prepared for that yet. Ebensbuko, Sept. 12, 18G1. Dear Sir: As the approaching elec tion is the most important ever known to the American people, I propose to meet our fellow-citizens, without distinction of party, and discuss the great questions now before them at such times and places as may be fixed upon, by the respective County Committees. Sincerely hoping that this suggestion will meet your approval, promising that on my part it eh all be earned out in a spirit of fairne.-3 and kindness, and be lieving that it is the duty of candidates and constituents, in the language of the good Dook, 44 to reason together." I remain, Very respectfully, 1L L. Johnston. To A. A. Darker. EiiENsnuKo, Sept. 17, 18G4. Dear Sir: Your favor dated Sept. 12th is just received and contents noted. army. It 13 also saia uy routnern ai3 natche3 that he banished five federal offi cers into the Southern lines for talking politics unfavorable to Lincoln's re-elec tion. It 13 thought that the federal army have given up the taking of Mobile at least for the present. The political news is favorable to the cause of the white man. All those who were somewhat cool on account of the war policy embodied or seemingly so in the letter of acceptance, are going in heart and hand to eject the negro worshippers. Fernando Wood is working hard in New York, so is John Van luren ; Valandig ham in Ohio. No defection any where that we read of. On Thursday night last, a party, of Confederates made a raid on the south side of the James River below City Point, where all of Grant's beef cattle are kept. The entire herd, numbering from two thousand to thirty-five hundred were driven off. The Union cavalry were sent in pursuit. Dut the enemy got off safe with ther plunder. They will have some ood beef for a while. Tlie Abolition Campaign. We publish below a letter sent to all postmasters to fork over to carry on this campaign.

Had this maxim, ancient and homely as it 19, been adhered to in the United States, or rather in the Northern States, we would not now have a country in weeds of mourning, groaning under an intolerable load of national debt and al most in despair to get rid of a civil war, and restore peace to a heart broken coun 'try. Had Abraham Lincoln stuck to mauling rails. Had Andrew Johnson stuck to his tailor's bench, arid we might come down Btill and say had Darker stuck to his shuck shop, they or either of them might have become tho benefactors instead tf the curse and annoyance of their fellow men. Had Abraham Lincoln continued working on rails, he probably would have lived resected ami died lamented, and although the historian might have not said anything alnjut him, he was then safe from the historians page.

Ere November he will have few left, except those who have their hands steeped to the elbows in shoddy iniquity. They of course will cling to him to the last, we might as well expect that a tiger would release his hold when sucking blood, as a shoddy contractor would re lax his hold on greenbacks. Patience is a remedy for every grief, and by exercising a little patience, November will come with the dawning of a restored country. Republican Campaign. William II. Seward, the great mouth piece and word-monger of Lincoln's Ad ministration, has lately opened the cam paign in a most extraordinary harangue delivered in Auburn, New York. His speech, like all his other speeches are somewhat obscure, but this one was care fully prepared beforehand, with due de liberation, although he may have been in toxicated at its delivery. If it has any meaning at all it seems to bo revolutionary, he talks about the suc cession to the Presidency as if it was a throne or an empire. He tells tho people 44 they must not only vote Mr. Lincoln in, but they must fight him in." He avers that to run against Mr. Lincoln is treason. That the Chicago nomination and platform were made by the Demo cratic traitors at Richmond, and the Democrats at Chicago, signed, sealed, attested and delivered in the presence of the London Times, and ratified at Rich mond. If he knew this, why did he not give his little bell a touch and scatter the traitors. If language like this would come from a common blackguard it would not be noticed, but coming from him, tho great irrepreseible conflict, it 13 humiliating to his party. He goes on to threaten that if M'Clellan U elected that in tho interim between tho election and the inau2uration j Lincoln will soil out the Government tn the American people, I propose to meet our fellow citizens without distinction of party, and discuss the great questions now before them at such times and places as may be fixed upon by the respective County Committees."' This 13 a most reasonable proposition. You are a can didate for a high office, and if it is your desire to go directly before the people and press your claims, I see no good reason why you should not be gratified. The right has always been conceded candidates heretofore, and no doubt will be now. At the very least you have my consent and full and entire apjrobation. I shall fur nish a copy of your letter to the Union County Committee of Cambria County the only committee with whom I have any influence at tho earliest possible moment, and if they can do aught to fur ther your desire to 44 meet our fellow citi zens " it will receive my hearty approval. I will acquiesce in any arrangement that may be made by the 44 respective County Committees " tending to affect that ob ject. Very Respectfully Yours, A. A. Darker. To R. L. Johnston, Esq.

James Harlan, Treasurer, or to the Secretary. The Committee icould be pleased to hear from you, with suggestions as to the cancass in your locality. lery Respect f idly your s , D. N. COOLEY, Secretary, Xcw York. The greatest unanimity and enthusi asm prevailed at the New York Conven tion held at Albany on the loth inst. Gov. Seymour declined a nomination on account of his feeble health and the state of his privute business, which had suffer ed for want of his personal attention. The Convention however nominated him by acclamation. He implored them to pass him by in making their nominations, but if they insisted, in this hour of his country's peril, he did not feel at liberty to decline. We may look for a good ac count from New York in November. One hundred thousand at least for Mc Clellan. The following are the resolutions passed at that Convention. llcsolved, That the Democracy of New York, through their representatives in convention assembled, ratify and in dorse the nomination of General George D. aicClellan for President, and George II. Pendleton for Vice President of the United States, and that we pledge to them the electoral vote of the Empire State. Resolved, That the patriotic principles declared by the National Democratic Convention, as nobly and eloquently ex pounded by its candidate for the Presi dency, in his recent letter of acceptance, embody a line of public policy upon which alone the American people can restore Hie Union, re-establish Constitutional liberty, give security to individual rights, and se cure the return 01 a permanent and hon orable peace Resolved, I hat we heartily respond to the pledge of our candidate, George l. McClellan, that he will, ii elected, "ex haust all the resources cf staleMnan-hip to secure peace, re-establish the Union, and guanantee for the future the rights of every State ;" that with the pledge and the Jacksonian declarations that 44 The Union must be maintained at all hazards;" that 44 It is the one condition of eace ;" that 44 Without it no peace can be perma nent," we present him for the suffrages of the electors of New York, confident they will accept him as the only candidate ca pable of restoring tho Union under the Constitution. Resolved. That the Democratic party of the State of New Y ork is as it always has been, unalterably opposed to the re bellion, and that we recognise in the vic tories of the national army and navy and in the manifest popular determination to change the present administration, and re turn to the policy to which the Executive, Congress, and the people were solemnly pledged in the Crittenden resolution, co operative movements toward peace and Union. Resolved, That the administration of Wheeler &. Wilson, highest premium Sewing Machine, is decidedly the best. These unequalled Machines are adapted to every variety of sewing for family r . 1 1 - 1 . . 1 . . .1 wear, irom me ngniesi luusiiiis 10 heaviest cloths. They work equally well upon silk, linen, woolen, and cotton goods, with silk, cotton, or linen thread. They will seam, quilt, gather, hem, fell, cord, braid, bind, and perform every kind of sewing, making a beautiful and perfect stitch, alike on both sides of the article sewed. The Sewing will never unravel or wash out. The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma chines are so simple that a child can work them with ease. Printed instruc tions are sent with every Machine, so that any one can operate them without any trouble or diffienlty. Every Machine is warranted, and the money returned if not entirely satisfactory. Over ffty thousand of the celebrated Wheeler &, Wilson Sewing Machines are sold every year, and yet the demand is so great that they can hardly be supplied as fast as ordered. Machines are carefully packed and sent in good order to any por tion of the country. We hope our readers will write at once to the Wheeler & Wilson Agency, No! 704 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, and get one of their Almanacs for 1SG5, and specimens of work done by the Machine, all of which they will send by mail, free of charge, to any address. We should be glad to see an Agency for the Wheeler it Wilson Sew ing Machine established in our locality. We know them to be tlv best, most simple and cheapest machiiie in use. The following conversation took place one day hist week, between two young ladies of our town. Julia Emma, have you been to E J. Mills ec Co. 's store lately ?

Persons wishing school books will find a complete assortment with them. . Kens. Wo can give our readers no news this week from the armies for the simple rea son that there is no news to be given. Grant is occupying tho Weldon Railroad and slowly extending his lines Westward. The Confederates, once and a while throw ehell3 at Grant's supply trains, but with out doing much damage. They had some Bkirmishes lately in which both got some prisoners, and each report claims to have got the most. There 13 nothing doing at Atlanta, the armistice being still in force until the 22d of September. Sherman has ordered the whole city, men, women and children into banishment. Those who will take tho oath of allegiance to the United States, ho sends North, and those who does not take the oath he sends South. He takes poseepsion of their property, he and bis Recruits. It appears the recruited soldiers are all hereafter to be branded ; this seems to be tho lowest act of degra dation administered yet by the dynasty at Washington to a once free and high-mind ed people. We wonder if Lincoln wont compel the people ere long to wear a brass collar around their neck, on which their name shall be engraved, as was the case with tho old swine herds of Dritain, in order to designate who was their owner- If re-elected 44 he would play such fan tastic tricks as mako the angels ween Dut if he waits until the 4th of March before he puts the collar on his men, he will not have very . many at that time, The following items is from the Chicago Times : "All accepted recruits " who hereafte aro received at Springfield, will, in accor dance with orders from Washington, be branded with the letter 44 1 " in the small of the back. This is Lincoln's 44 1" and with Lincoln's eye at the small of a sol dier's back, his lips will be about where they ought to be especially if the sol dier bo a negro." 44 Formerly tho symbol of this Govern ment was U. S.; meaning us the people. Now it 13 44 1 ' written on the small of a men's backs, meaning "1" Abraham Lincoln." 44 Mr. Lincoln is evidently intending to give his personal suierintendence to mili tary operations. Henceforth he will have his " I " on every soldier in the' army." 44 Our soldiers will hereafter not be lia ble to a surpriso from the rear.
