tans been noniiiinted.
JAMES E. GLASGOW, the nominee for
County Surveyor, is also well and favorably
known. lie is a good Surveyor and would
make an excellent officer.
JAMES CREE is nominated for Auditor.
We will simply remark that he was nominated
with entire reference to having the accounts of
the county carefully audited, ns he enjoys the

We have the p 1.511113 to day of placing at
the head of our district iiebet, the name or the
lion. John R. Nate,. of Somerset county, our
faithful and efficient representative in the last
Congress.
The Conference which nominated Col. Edie,
met in Johnstown last wee:e. Each oldie four
counties composing the district, was fully and
ably represented, and each presented a capable
and worthy candidate for the highest honor in
their gift. The Conferees were, without an ex
ception, men of ability, integrity and undoubt.
ad patriotism, whose energies appeared solely'
directed to noble and disinterested ends—to se
cure the triumph of "freedom and the right"
over oppression and the wrong, by an bonen.-
, bit union of all the friends of free speech, and
I free territory against thedespotisin of the Pierce
administration and the great pro-slaery party
which defends and supports it.
Harmony and good feeling characterized the
deliberations of the Conference ; and during a
protracted session, distinguished by much earn.
cot discussion and able advocacy of the claims
of the respective candidates, not an unkind ex
pression fell front any lip, not a word was ut
tered inconsistent with tire self-respect, decorum
and courtesy of gentlemen. Most faithfully did
the several delegations press the claims of their
respective counties and favorite candidates.--
Never did conference discharge the trust repo
sed in thorn by their friends, with mere ability
rind zeal; and never, perhaps, did men, simi•
holy situated, more promptly anal cheerfully ac
quiesce in t h e fairly Cilt pressed will of the tem
jority. No sooner had the voice attic Confer
ence declared Cul. UM "the Union Candidate
for this Congressional District," than null per
sonal and local preferences seemed fur the time
'to be forgotten, every individual regret hushed,
and every patriotic impulse spontaneously di
rected to the solemn duties resting on the not
era of this district, to unite ns ono man—Amer
icons, Republicans and Whigs—and rescue the
government of our fathers, and the soil once
dedicated to free institutions and free white la.

more odious than that of Napoleon 111., and
outrages more infamous titan soy in the annals
of Austrian tyranny.
We hove written with some animation, but
have not exaggerated. Nay, we have not told
the whole truth. The successful candidate's
noble competitors, Messrs. Moir, Brotherline
arid King, most, if not all, responded to the
feelings of the Conferees, and manifested the
same spirit of magnanimity and devoted patri
otism. But one thought seemed to pervade
these generous patriots—union against the pro
slavery, Buchanan party, a party that has justi
lied and upheld the most atrocious usurpations
in Kansas, applauded the most brutal and cow
ardly ruffianism in the United States Senate,
acquitted a cold.blooded murderer, and restored
him to his seat in the councils of the nation,
and degraded our name before the civilized world.

once to John Bakhr of this neighborhoo6.—
What in the name of common sense do those
dupes of that filthy sheet mean? Have they
the impudence to suppose that any honest, in•
telligent man can or will read that article and
not conclude they are a consummate set of polit
ical kuaves and blackguards ? If they have,
I tell them they are wofully mistaken. John
linker is too well known in this community for
such political renegades as control the Ameri
can, to try to traduce mid malign his character
in any particular whatever. He is an honest
intelligent, hardworking mechanic.
Unlike that blathering editor, he don't get
drunk, sit around the hotels, slander and abase
! his neighbors. If Mr. Barr had half the brains
Mr. Baker has, he might then talk. What did
the latter gentleman say that has brought all
this billingsgate and slang upon his head ?
Did he attack Mr. Barr and his party as this
idiot has attacked Mr. Baker• and the Itepublb
can party? No, by no means. lie spoke the
truth; althongh I have up to this been in favor
of Fillmore and the American county ticket—
I will support neither now. I can follow the
lead of no such political ruffians and black
guards, as RS3IIIIIO to publish the Huntingdon
American. I don't think there is an honest
man in this end of the county, but what regards
Barr, intellectually and morally, as a very poor
specimen of humanity. The support Ito recci•
ved when he wanted his salary raised as the
County Superintendent, plainly prOves this.—
And yet this very same fellow wants to dictate
the course the free voters of Huntingdon coun
ty gnus: power.
The most intelligent men hero of the Amer.
leans have frequently said in my hearing that
if Barr continues to edit the Huntingdon Ante•
eicon long, they will withdraw from the party
—that his paper is totally unfit to be put into
the bands of a family to read. But all will
come right in due time. If Mr. flare and his
coadjutors think they aro now leading a major.
ity of the people of this county about by the
nose, all I have to say is, the election will tel
the tale. I honestly believe the American
ticket will receive two hundred votes in the
whole lower end. That the American county
ticket will be defeated, there is not the least
doubt-s.no man in his senses COII say anything
else. The people are opposed to the extension
of slavery, and they will support no man or set
of men who are in any way Identified with that
national curse. And in addition, everybody
sees that Fillmore cannot carry one State iu
the Union, and it is no use to throw away votes
on him.
If the. Republican party puts in nomination
good reliable men, they will stand a fair chance
to elect their ticket. There are many, whom

The following preamble and resolutions were
then oflltred nod unanimously adopted :
Wm:nos& We regard the course of policy
pursued by the present National Administration
as contrary to the teachings of the great and
good men to whom we are indebted for the
blessings we now enjoy, and calculated to de
alloy the Noce and harmony of this our beloved
country, by seeking to change the principles
upon which this government was formed, in
making Slavery instead of Freedom notional;
and whereas, we deem the overthrow of the pre•
sent weaned Locolbeo party of paramount im
portance in the present canvass, iu view of the
tact that its representatives stand pledged to
perpetuate, in the event of their election, the
objectionable measures which have rendered
the present Pierce dynasty odious to nll true
lovers of Freedotn. Therefore,
Resolved, 'that we would regard the election
of James Buchanan to the Presidency as an
unqualified endorsement of the wrongs of the
Pierce administration, and to prevent his elec
tion we will muse all honorable means.
R (solved, While we have no desire to inter.
lore with Slavery where it now exists, we are
unqualifiedlyopposed to its extension into Ter
ritory now free—believing that the land which
was made free by God himself should be allow•
ed to remain so by man.
JecsoNed, That we desire no change in the
prim eiples of the Notional platform of the lie.
publican platform, lbunded as it is upon the
Inalienable rights of a free and Republican pea
and the elements forming the basis of
Amerimm greatness and the prosperity of her
citizens; and that we continue our unwavering
attachment to Um Constitution and the Union.
Resolved, That in John C. Fremont we re•
cognize the true patriot and the profound states-
Ann; devotedly attached to the Constitution of

OLD JACKSON IN THE FIELD S
Immediately after the election of delegates
to represent us in thn.Republican Convention,

named gentlemen clotted
Wm. B. Smith. President; William Mint,
Miller Murray, and J. S. Leech Vice I'resi•
dents; Jonas Books, Treasurer ; John B. Mac.
Hwy, Secretary.
It is but just to add, that the vast assem
blage was composed of the respectable and in
fluential citizens of both the old parties. Men,
who witness with alarm the daily aggressions
of the slave oligarchy—men, who have pledged
themselves to use all honorable means for the
election of our favorite candidates, end thus en.
deavor to restore our goverTlFt!t to its
