The Kentucky Election.
Duval the Democrat Ic Candltlte for
Governor eleciel ly OTerwhelm
Majority. The People will -Uin
tlte Prcaldeul, Hhlt5Ienmut
Mule.
By late advices from Kentucky we have
the gratifying announcement that De
mocracy has triumphed in that State.
Duval the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor has been elected over Ilobson, (Rad
ical) by at least tLirty thousand of a ma
jority. This is glorious news. Two
years ago the Radicals carried the State
by a large majority. Last year the ma
jority was small, but now the Democratic
ticket is successful by an overwhelming
one. Bayonets no longer servo for bal
lots. There are no controlling spirits in
the shape of Provost guards to interfere
with the rights of her citizens. The des
perate rule of the radical leaders taught
them a lesson. One which they have
profited by, not only for the ir own welfare
lnt for the welfare of oar whole country.
Can we not hope ? Is not tha abhorrence
jf the people of Pennsylvania to Radical
ism as great as in Kentucky. Can we
not roll up a similar majority ? The an
swer will come in thunder tones on the
second Tuesday of next October, when
right shall triumph over wrong ; and the
knaves bo lmrlcd from power who arc
now attempting to revolutionize our
country.
A white man must have considerable
respect for himself and his race, who will
say by his vote that he is in no wise su
perior to a nigger. The man who votes
for Geary says this, and if justice were
meted out to him, the rights of a white
man, in this white man's country, would
be taken from him, and he would be
placed on a perfect equality with the de
bauched beings he looks upon as his
equal.
C3 General Geary, the disunion can
dedate for Governor, is a delegate to the
League's "Southern Loyalist Convcn
venilon." II3 and Fred Douglass march
ed in the same procession in Philadelphia.
He evidently changed his mind in refe
rence to the time when " negro equality
is to be settled," and has determined to
bhow that he is in favor of it now.
C3 The presiding Elders of the Mor
rell organ, in their last issue calls the editor
of this paper a " professional black
guard." If editing a country newspaper
entitles us to this epithet we have no rea
son to complain. The great mystery that
we cannot account for is, that we became
professional in so limited a space of time.
They have been engaged in the business
6omething longer than wc whom they now
term " professional." We suppose their
title would be unprofessional blackguards.
tS3fc The Democratic Congressional
Conferees of Cambria, Blair. Huntingdon,
and Mifllin counties met in Huntingdon
on Saturday last. A number of ballots
were had but did not result in the choice
of a candidate, the ballot standing six for
Johnston, three for Cresswell and three
for Reed. The Conferees from Cambria
and Huntingdon voted for Johnson, MifT
lin for Reed, and IJ'air for Cresswell.
After balloting a number of times with
out etFi cting a nomination they adjourned
to meet in Tyrone on Thursday.(to day .)
Since writing I ho above, we have
heard that Robert L. Johnson of this
j lace, received the nomination.

Republican Mass Meeting. Features
ot" Tlie ly &c.Th 13a-.
Having had several changes of weather
within the last few weeks, every person
was eagerly looking for Tuesday the 3d
day of September. And why should they
desire that the third should be favorable ?
Was it because Court was in session and
an important case was to be tried which
would perhaps sentence some unfortunate
victim to the gallows or still worse, to a
life of miserable servitude. Oh no ! The
cause was of greater importance. It was
the cause of Geary, the Republican can
didate for Governor. A Moss Meeting
of the citizens of Cambria county was to
take place in our midst. Every person
desired favorable weather and thank God
they got it ; and they are now getting a
favorable notice from the Democratic
press.
The Arrivals.
At half past nine the Branch train ar
rived and with it the Brass Band of
Johnstown and several understrappers of
Daniel J. Morrell, the Republican nomi
nee for Congress ; besides some speakers
that will be introduced to tho reader
when their time arrives.
The Brass band was received by a
number of small children, who escorted
them to the Hotel of mine host Foster
where as Artemus Ward says, "they dis
coursed elegant music." After having
something " to take " the band proceeded
to the lower end of town to meet the
Jacskon delegation, which consisted of ten
men, twelve horses, eleven boys and a
dog. By some mishap the Beulah dele
gation did not receive a reception. They
are highly indignant at the treatment they
received.
A Serenade.
After the Jaclcsonian delegation arrived,
the Brass band marched up in front of
our office and gave us a sernade ; or at
least we thought it was intended as such.
While they were playing wcwere remind
ed of a verse we used to sing when a
child:
4 The elephant now moves round,
The band begins to play ;
And the boys around that monkey's cage
Llad better keep away."
The Ball Opens.
At precisely half past two o'clock the
meeting wa3 called to order by a little
"weasel-faced" lawyer called Singleton.
He drawled out a few remarks unsuita
ble to the occasion, which did not even
protluce a cheer frsm the little audience.
We will five a short nuotation from
tills eloquent 3-oung man's speech ;
not that the people desire to hear it, but
merely to give our readers an idea of
Radical eloquence. Hear him and judge
for j-ourselvcs :
"Stop fellow citizcrs. Do not go
away. A speaker will address yon.
One with whom you are acquainted. I
will not mention his name. He is a bully
fellow. You must listen to him. I will
not introduce him. I might as well in
troduce him to his own familj'. Do
stop and listen. He is a bully speaker.
His name is John Scott iScc. &c ;?."
After this, little Weasel-face" sat
down nnd mnnv "in nrdont TJenubllrnn I
va3 pleased that he did so.
Johnny Scott.
Johnny Scott came forward. He
spoke. We listened (That is us Demo
crats, for in one sense of the word it was
a Democratic meeting, as the principal
portion of tho audience supported the
Democratic platform.) He denounced
President Johnson and the Philadelphia
Convention cursed Southern rebels, prais
ed John Geary and belied Heister Cly
mer ; said nothing about the negro and
very little about anything else. He re
tired while many votes were made for the
Democratic party,
a guerilla speaks.
The next speaker announced was Hon.
alias General, alias Colonel, alias Captain,
alia$ blackguard Montgomery from Mis
sissippi, North Carolina and Tennesse.
His speech (if the usages of public speak
ers will allow me to call it such,) abound
ed in nonsense, indecency, immorality and
blackguardism. - We have heard loafers,
bummers, scoundrels and villains speak
during our short existence ; but we have
never heard one of the above mentioned
class of men that could compete with
Montgomery. His language was low ;
his gestures disgusting and his whole
manner and appearance that of a Balti
more " plug-ugly " or a Mosby guerilla
during the rebellion. His chief expres
sions were " nary time !" can't see it !"
" come to my arms my honey !" " played
out!" "gone up!" " squashed!" " sccee-
ded!" "cone to crass r' "alls up
" that's what's the matter !" " the dog's
dead 1" " he's a buster " &c. These are
only some of the slang terms used by this
vile man. We will give a short quota
tion from his lengthy harangue. In
speaking of the trials and afflictions of
him and his family, ho made use of the
following language :
" My darling wife who had left a
Southern home to find a Northern grave,
with two small children clinging to her
for support and comfort, nnd in a delicate
state of health exclaimed in joylul accents
when she met one of the " brave boys in
blue," " thank God I am about to be de
livered" Here the merriment of the crowd
gave way and he congratulated himself,
that he had made a favorable impression.
His wifo in a delicate state ! meeting a
Union soldier she was delivered ! Shades
of departed blackguards can you not hear
and answer in his popular slang term
" nary time." We could give many more
extracts from this blustering orator's
speech, but we refrain from doing so.
Suffice to say that he pleased no person ;
not even the party he was hired to ad
dress. THE " LITTLE WEASEL" DISPERSES THE
CROWD.
After the Southern blackguard was
through speaking, the "little weasel" an
nounced to the few Democrats left that
another meeting would be held at half
past six in the evening, for the purpose of
" better enlightening the ignorant, and
also to give some lesser guns a chance to
explode."
EVENING PERFORMANCE.
Half past six came and writh it a few
Republicans and many Democrats ; all
anxious to hear more eloquence from ora
tors that did not possess the article
Louis Hall was the first speaker. His
speech was already prepared and he
read if out of a large note-book in a very
creditable manner. He tried every man
ner to secure applause but was unsuc
cessful. He retired crest fallen and I
have no doubt, disgusted at his reception.
OLD COATS REPAIRED AT THE SHORTEST
NOTICE ASD ON THE MOST RHASONAIiLE
TERMS.
The next speaker's name was Coats.
He was a tailor. He was a good tailor
(if wo can take his own words for it).
He was a better tailor than Andrew John
son. He was not a retail tailor but was
a wholesale tailor. He was not a con
servative tailor. He was a radical tailor.
He wanted to bet on Geary ! He wanted
a safe bet. He would bet his old hat
against a new one that Geary would be
be elected. He told the little audience
many little anecdotes. He quoted poet
ry denounced the Philadelphia Conven
tion and said a great many other things
too nonsensical to mention. He retired
to his couch to dreara of scirsors, fits,
suits and latest styles of gentlemen's ap
parrel. LITTLE CYRUS THE PRESIDING ELDER OF
MORREI-'S CHURCH SPEAKS.
As none of the other speakers had
mentioned the name of Dan. J. Morrell,
it became necessary that " little Cyrus"
should receive an opportunity to digest
some of his powerful eloquence. lie ad-
. . - 11 t 1 IT A
vancea; out as uiacsguam iuonigomcry
says, ho was greeted with '-nary a
cheer." He informed tLem that he was
going to be brief. A by-standtT wI.'O had
been hired wc suppose by some of the
faithful quickly responded " Amen,"
which as j-ou are all aware signifies " be
it so." He was brief; merely recom
mending D. J. Morrell as a lit person for
Congress This was about the sum and
substance of his speech. As he is an in
significant personage, we ask the reader's
pardon for giving him so lengthy a notice.
DANIEL J. MORRELL MAKES HIS APPEAR
ANCE. Daniel the profit thinking that it would
be necessary for him to take part in the
closing exercises, and receive the "bless
ing" from the presiding " Elder," arrived
some time in tho evening. He was in
troduced to the people by the " little
weasel" who stated " that it became nec
essary that Mr. Morrell should become
acquainted in the northern section of this
county. Mr. Morrell, after an elegant
display of eloquence, thanked the audience
and retired to bed, we suppose to dream
of strikes, railroad iron and tariff.
CONCLUSION.
No sensible man can have tho least
shadow of a doubt but what the meeting
was a failure. The name of Geary did
not prove an incentive to gather the way
ward followers of Radicalism. The name
of Curtin was also used, but all to no
purpose. They did not come. They
would not come. No blame could be
attached to the members of the Demo- 1
cratic party in Ebensburg. They done
all that was in their power to swell the
assemblage, but all to no purpose. The
largest number of persons in front cf the
speaker's stand during the day and even
ing including Democrats, Republicans,
women and children would not exceed
two hundred. No enthusiasm prevailed.
The Republicans seemed down-hearted
and dejected, and we have no doubt but
what, if they knew such evil would
result from it, they would consider twice
before they would call another meeting.
However, their loss is our gain and our
gain is the overthrow of Radicalism in
Pennsylvania.
The Douglass Accepts.
Fred Douglass, (negro,) was lately ap
pointed a deligate by the "Union League"
of Rochester, N. Y-, to the Jack Hamil
ton (" mean white") convention, which
meets in Philadelphia to-day (3d.) It
will be seen from tho following letter,
published in the Rochester Exjrcss (Dis
union) that Fred has determined to lay
aside his repugnance to " white trash,''
and to shed the light of his countenance
upon that distinguished body of extempor
ized Southerners Bergner's and "Toots"
included :
Rochester, Aug. 30, ISoG.
" Dear Sir : Sensible of the unexpect
ed honor generously conferred upon me by
the Republican Convention of this city in
appointing mo one of its delegates to
meet with the true Southern Unionists
about to convene in Philadelphia, I leg
to state that I cheerfully and gratefully
accept the appointment, and will certain
ly attend that true National Convention,
provided I am timely put in possession of
the proper credentials for that purpose.
If this Convention shall receive me, the
event will certainly be somewhat signifi
cant of progress; if they reject me, they
will only identify themselves with another
Convention, which, from mean motives,
turned its back upon its true friends
Yours very truly,
" Frederick Douglass."
In noticing the foregoing letter, the N.
Y. Tribune (Disunion) says:
" Frederic Douglass has accepted the
appointment of delegate to the Philadel
phia Donvention, and will, no doubt, be
welcolmed bo all its members. It would
be a fitting recognition of the claims of
his people, not to speak of his own servi
ces, to place his name in the list of offi
cers." Now, go way "white trash!"
Radical Usurpation.
The attempt of a tew radicals in Lou
siana to usurp the Government of the
State, was the cause of the late riots in
New Orleans, by which several human
lives were destroyed ; and when we reflect
upon the enormity of the de.-igns of the
usurper?, we are surprised that the . loss
of life was not greater than it was. The
idea of the people remaining quiet, while
a few Northern adventures were engaged
in filching from them their rights, and be
stowing sutlVago upon herds of debased
negroes, was not to be expected. Had
they remained quiet, under such provoca
tion, they would have tdiown themselves
utterly spiritless, deserving the places of
their former slaves.
In Missouri the spirit of Radicalism is
rampant ; it has been revelling in power
fcr four years, and should its tyranny and
usurpations arouse the people of that
State to rise in their anger, wo would not
at all be surprised at it. The course of
the Radicals have this tendency. In that
State the tree of Radicalism was planted
four years ago and the people, as the
Cincinnati Inquirer remarks are "now eat
ing the bitter fruit which it has produced.
What it is there it would be everywhere,
if jt had tho same opportunity for devel-
opmcnt.
There have been for the last
four or five vujrs a condition ot tilings
there that is only prMIelcd by the scenes
in the worst part of ttiC French reign of
terror in 1793. At an t'-ly period in
the war, although the State u.'d not se
cede, it passed entirely under the control
of military satraps. These satraps were
themselves the organs and champions of
a political faction w hich was detested by
a large majority in the State. They
lent their whole endeavors to make the
rule of a small but active minority per
petual. They seized the ballot-box at all
elections, and only persons who were
their creatures were allowed to approach
it. They surrounded it not only with
bayonets, but with annoying and disgust
ing test oaths that were repulsive to the
feelings of a great majority of the people.
When finally installed in power by mili
tary violence, they called a Conrention,
which framed a Constitution which they
ratified in the same manner, by the bayo- J
net and by the use of bogus and fraudu
lent returns, purporting to be cast by sol
diers in the army stationed outnide of the
State. This Constitution is one of the
most shameful political documents, and
would have been a disgrace to any coun
try or any age. It was worthy of its
miserable origin. Under it, for instance
the preaching of the gospel is a crime,
unless the minister consent to a certain
political test in the form of an oath.
Daily I'ost.
An Exciting Canvass.
The political canvass, in this county,
upon w hich we are just entering, while it
will be very brief in its duration, will be
a hotly and bitterly contested one. The
Radicals are already in the field, marshal
ing their forces, counting noses, and using
every appliance to accomplish their de
signs. It is boldly affirmed that General
Moorhead has pledged all the money re
quired to meet the extraordinary expenses
of the campaign. We have already had
striking proofs of the power of his gold to
get rid of formidable opposition. It is
tho boast of his satellites that he made,
through channels well understood by the
initiated, a million of dollars during the
progress of the war. He can well atTord
to part with a large pum of this ill-gotten
gain, to corrupt the voters of the county,
if by this means lie can buy his way back
to Congress. He is an unscrupulous,
wily, adroit demagogue, and is constant
ly on the alert. Still, we think his
6hameless practices have become so noto
rious, that he will be most signally re
buked at the ballot-box. The-e efforts
of the radical disunionists must be met by
equal vigilance, prompt organization and
thorough canvass of every district on the
part of tho National Unionists. We have
a County Executive Committee composed
of good men. Let this committee go to
work and elect regular committees in
every election district in the county. It
is by such an organization alone we can
hope to succeed. A party, like an armj-,
without organization is nothing better
than a mob, and is powerless to accom
plish any good. What is to be done
must be done quickly. There is scarcely
six weeks left in which to work. If our
friends will begin the good work, there
need be no fears as to tho result. We
have an incomparably better ticket than
our opponents ; our platform of principles
is unexceptionable, awd all that is now
wanted to sweep the county by a trium
phant majority is systematic canvassing.
Pittsburg llrpublic.
C3 The Issue before the people in the
present campaign is simply this : Can
any party, having a majority in Congress,
exclude, during its sovereign will and
pleasure, States from a representation in
the law-making body of the country !
There are three co-ordinate brandies of
the government The President, the Su
preme Court, and the Congress. These
constitute the Executive, Judicial and
Legislative branches.
Tho ten Southern States now excluded
from Congress have been recognized as
completely restored in all their practical
relations to the Union by the Executive
and J udicial branches of the government.
Congress alone, for partizan reasons refu
ses tci recojrnize them.
TFiese three divisions of the government
constitute three great dpoMtones of
power. Thus two of those depositories
have accorded to the loyal people of the
South all the rights which law abiding
Americans are entitled to; aril one of
those great depositories, Congress, consti
tuting the minoi-ity of the three, refuses to
do this thing upon that clause in the con
stitution, which makes each house the
judge or the election and qualifications of
its own members. While it has not ex
amined into the election and qualifica
tions of a single member from the South,
but has assumed to pass upon the right
of States to any representation at all.
This is a proceeding which has not the
shadow of a warrant in the constitution
nor a precedent in our history, nor in that
of constitutional government throughout
the World.
The President does not ask, the con
servative men of the countv, that a single
man with an nnpurged disloyal record,
should take his seat in Congress. But
they do ask that whole States !e not
shorn of their inalienable rights without
the slightest warrant of law.
, C2 The Radicals do not entertain the
high opinion of the " boys in blue " that
they did a year apo, and the reason is
that they do not follow the teachings of
Thad. Stevens, which are intended to
keep tho Union asunder ; The Union
which they shed their blood to reunite,
because the " boys in blue" still stand by
the Xi." of the Union as the Age, re
marks the Radicals are heaping upon
them the grossest slanders and are doing
all in their power to efface their faithful
services in the field from the reecelleetion
of their grateful cour.irymen. A few
months ago, they could not praise these
heroes too highly. Now they see noth
ing even in their military record to ad
mire and applaud.
These soldiers have not changed one
jot or title of their principles. They are
for the Union now, as they ever were.
And this is the cause of the Radical
grief. If they would only agree to en
gage in the revolutionary and treasonable
schemes of their present defamers, they
would be spared tho foul abuse that is
now heaped upon them by the followers
of Sumner and Stevens. But they did
not shrink from meeting the enemies of
of the Union when the country was con
vulsed by civil strife, and they will not
do so now. They intend to keep on "ma
king treason odious," and, therefore, they
are now turning their attention to the
Radicals at " tho other end cf tho line."
