Something ought to be dune immediately to
stay the progress of intemperance amongst us.
The evil is alarmingly on the increase. And
shall we sit still ? Shall we do nothing? We
believe the voice of almost the entire communl
ty says,--No. Who doubts that under the ope.
ration of the present law, many are hastening
to a drunkard's grave. Who doubts that the
s,cls of intemperance will be sown during the
present year, in many a youth. Citizens, our
tamilies, our dearest earthly interests aro in
danger. There is even a louder call now for
action, than there was years age, when the Re
form swept like fire over the country. It is
proposed that all favorable to the cause of Tem.
perance, meet in the Court House on Monday
evening, the 29th of September, to consider
what should be done. A plan of action will
then be proposed, which it is hoped will meet
the approbation of all.

Maine! Maine!! Maine!!!
The news from Maine has fallen like a thun
der•clap in a clear sky upon the Buchancers
throughout the country. The first gun so star
tied the Editors of the Washington Vitioa that
they discredited the report. The Pennsylva
nian treated it with ominous silence. The
_party felt sure of Maine—they 'stoked their
piles' upon the invincibility of their power is
that State ; but Maine has spoken and the Bor
der Ruffians are nowhere. The haud•writing
on the wall needs no Daniel to interpret its
import. 'the characters are written in a inn.

figures sufficiently large that he who runs may

them there to the bitter end.' Phe Union

REPUBLICANS, BE ON YOUR GUARD I
Beware of Treachery!
We call the attention of our readers to the
following artful manceure which has been at
tempted to be played off upon the Republicans
of the County. It will no doubt be remember
ed, that the Republican County Convention ap
pointed three individuals, Senatorial Conferees,
of which Committee, John McCulloch was the
chairman. This Committee, according to the
letter and spirit of the resolution which gave it
an existence, was nuthorized "to confer with
Alex. C. 'Mullin, of Cambria County," the nom
ince of the anti-Buchanan men of this district
for State Senator, "and if they find him right
on the great issues,to endorse him, if not rivlit
nominate a new candidate." Thus far, on-7
farther. did this Committee's powers extend.
The object of the Convention was not, (what
Dr. McCulloch must have believed it to have
been from his late action, and assumption of ,}
authority,) the distraction of the forces of the I
opposition to the Missouri Border Ruffian
Democracy. No, that intelligent body of men
which composed the first Republican Conven
tion of the County, desired not the triumph of
corrupt Locofocoism. The object was the liar.
monizing of feeling and combination of forces
of all the anti-administration army. It would
be a foul slander on the great Republican par
ty of the County, it would be an indignity aim
ed directly nt the honesty and integrity of the
patriotic members of that Convention, to in
dulge a belief on the contrary. The resolution
which empowered the Conferees with authority
to confer with Alex. C. Mullin, made it obliga
tory on them to endorse his nomination, provi
ded "lie was right on the great issues,' which,
in our opinion, meant nothing more nor lea
than—if he was in favor of a union on a com
mon electoral ticket, in Pennsylvania, and op
posed to the extension of slavery, and would
support the principles of Republicanism. This
is apparent from the fact that the Republic.
Convention knew full well, that by placing a
distinct Republican, and a distinct American
in the field, it would ensure theclefeat of both,
and elect a pledged proxlavcry Locofoco. Now
let us pass on, and see whether that Committee
headed by John McCulloch, M. D , have lion
, esti> , discharged their dVies, according to the
expressed trill of their constituents. In doing
.this, we shall confine our remarks to Dr. Mc-
Culloch; we make no allusion to the other gen.
tlemen of the Committe, because we believe
they are honestly opposed to the Locofoco par
ty.
The former gentleman, addressed a note to
Alex. C. Mullin, putting this direct question to
that gentleman, (by which he stepped out of
bounds of his authority,) "Are you in favor of
the Republican Candidate for President?"-
Such pledge was not required by the Convent
tion ; and the interrogator in putting it, is not
osimilty of an assumption of authority, but
Hillagaplayed a lack of genuine smartness.— ,
For could it be supposed that a Union Candi.
date would pledge himself to the support o f
the candidate of either wing of his supporters?
Certainly not. To this extraordinary query,
the reply was that he was in favor of the great
principles of Republicanism—opposed to sla.
very extension, and willing to do anything and
everything honorable to secure the defeat of
James Buchanan. What, more could be ask
ed among honorable teen ? Nothing. But,
did this holiest anti open-hearted declaration
convince the Chairman ? Strange to say, we
find him issning a private call, unauthorized,
except by Himself, to his colleagues to meet him
in Altoona, to nominate a Senator• I This con.
duct on the part of our ex-chairman, cannot be
' too strongly censured. It admits of hut three
constructions;—it must have been actuated by
a spirit of .viiife, which Arnold-like threatened
"to shake our liberty temples around out ears,"
for his removal from the Chairmanship of the
County Committee, or it must have been called
out by a disappointed heart, or last, it must
have sprung from pecuniary motives. Which
of these, w•e cannot and will not say. Perhaps
"the still small voice" of conscience may tell.
But to proceed.' The Republicans of Blair
and Cambria co - unties, fully satisfied with the
declarations so openly avowed by Mullin, en
dorsed him; but for the purpose of hearing the
views of Ilordiogdon County on the subject,
appointed conferees to meet Chairman . ..th• cub
loch in Altoona. They met in Altoona, and as
will boneen in another column endorsed Mullin!
Then, as if to make it doubly certain than one
of the motives above named must have act.-

We have heard frequent rumors of employ.
ees on the Huntingdon and Broad Top Rail
road, being compelled to leave the road, or
proinise to vote far James Buchanan. The
following letter from lr. Bowser, himself a
vietitu, prOves these raiders to l be true. Mr.
Bowser has heretofore voted and acted with the
so.called Democratic Party, but the outrages
committed•hy the Border Ruffians of Missouri
upon the uneending free state settlers in Kau•
Ras, which have been endorsed tsj James Buch
anan, have opened his eyes and made Lint de.
termitic(' on voting for "Freedom."
What we want to know is this—do the Di
rectors and the President of the Huntingdon
and Broad Top Railroad & Coal Company, au
thorize or approve of this Mr. James Boone's
policy ? Is this Railroad to be converted into
a particular political party's supporter ? If it
in, it is time that the honest Protestant Amer.
' icons who conributcd their funds towards
building it, should know whether their money
I is to go towards sepporting foreign Roman Ca.
tholics. But, it it is not, let no have proof of
it, by the appointing of an officer who will not
make "will you vote for Buchanan?" a necesaa•
ry qualification for an officer. Read the letter:

SOUND BUCHANAN DOCTRINE!
TIIE HONEST GROUND AND NO FLINCHING!
atArt, 21145,U.
It is limo the Democratic Party should tulle
here, no it has elsewhere, high nod clear ground
on. the Slavery question. All the Southern pa.
pers which support Buchanan contend thnt poor
people should he slaves. Read the following'ex
tracts from lending Buchanan organs of the
South, endorsed by the Dough-face Democracy
of the North :
A. leading press of the good uld Democratic
party, and a worthy organ of Mr. Buchanan,
published in South Carolina, uses this plain,
straightforward language on the subject
"Slavery is the natural and normal condition
of the laboring man, whether WHITE or black.
The great evil of northern free society is. it is
burthened with A SERVILE CLASS OF ME.
CIIANICS AND LABORERS, oar,/ sclf
yorernment, mot yet clothed with the attributes
and rowers of citizens. Master and slave is a
reletion in society es necessary na that of pa
rent and child ; and the Northern States will
yet have to introduce it. Their theory of free
governmeht is a delusion."
This is honest. They are the doctrines of
our southern brethren, and James Buchanan.
The South Side Democrat of Virginia pours
•
out a torrent of wrath against everything free,
after the fidlowing style
' "We have got to hating everything with the
prefix free. from free negroes, down asd up the
whole catalogue—free farms, free labor, 'free
society, free will, free thinking, free children
and free schools—all belonging to the same
brood of dicooal,le isms. But the worst of
these abominations is the modern system of free
schools. The New Engiand system of free
schools has been the cause and prolific sources
of these infidelities, and treasons that have
t urnsil her cities into Sudems and Gomorrahs,
and f o r heel into the common nestling places
of howling Bedlamites. We aboteinate the
system, because the schools are free."
It would be.in keeping with such a man to
abuse free air, free light, free social intercourse,
free locomotion, free breathing, and everythiug
tree.. Senator flutter, of South Carolina, the
leading Buchanan Democrat there, says
"Men, have nu right to vote unless they are
possessed of property, as required by the Corr
stitution of South Carolina. There, nu man
CAII vote unless he owns ten nep,Toe,, or real es

and was organized by calling Major Chas.

The meeting was very ably and elo
quently addressed by John G. Miles and
John Williamson, Esq'rs, of Huntingdon,
and Dr. John Wintrode of Marklesburg.
After which the folldwing resolutions were
unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That as American Republi
cans, we are opposed to the infraction of
the Missouri Compromise. That time
honored compact, made sacred by our fa

and Freedom shall be restored.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the
implanting of Slavery north of the parallel

as consecrated to Freedom forever.
Resolved, flat in the opinion of this
meeting, all the opponents of the slavery
extension policy of the Buchanan party,
should harmonize in the support of one
and the same county and district ticket,
and that we therefore earnestly request
the Republican and American committees
to take such action, without further delay,
as will secure this very desirable result.

Mechanics nod Manufacturers, chiefly, must ,
determine whether there shall be anything on
the ground to see. Let every one bring some
thing. if not ffilly up to his wishes on the
score of quality or beauty, let hint bring the
hest he has, and plenty of it. We trust, and
cannot avoid believing, that sufficient interest
will be felt and manifested to make the Fair
every way worthy of the large populous and
thrifty County of Huntingdon, it is the interest

plainly manifest, and bring a glow of honest
pride to the cheeks of every son and daughter
of Huntingdon County. Two Weeks is a short
time in which to prepare,. we allow, but those
who have been so dilatory ns not to have here

*€jr The negro Democrstie press does not
dare publish the platform on which Col. Pro.

to see it. They know it would give the lie to
all their talk about Colonel Fremont being
a sectional candidate, opposed to the Union,
ste. That platform is a truly national one.—
It protects Northern institutions, and opposes
interference with either. If any Loco denies
this, wo dare him to publish the platform, and

After the meeting was organized, J. G Miles,

Slavery upon its prosperity and welfare until
the present, ie the spirit of kindness .d com
promise, we haul continually yielded to the
South, but like the rapacious horseleech it was
continually crying "give I give I" and would not
be satisfied. Ile gave out the history of the or
dinance of 1787, afterwards the coin promise of
1820, then those of 1850, and finally the Kan
nua•Nehreska bill. Ile concluded by sketching
the condition of Kansas, portraying at some
length the wrongs the Free State men had stif
fered, and their unhappy condition called loud
ly upon every true patriot and lever of his
country to cone to their reserve. Ile ended
amidst tremendous cheering, when Gen. John
I Williamson was called for. The Gen, is all
eloquent speaker and entertained us very agree
ably. He reduced Jimmy the Platform to
something like t, nonentity, he was nowhere to

stone unturned to prove that the Republican

their own acts have proved themselves dist,
