Important,

As upon the next Legislature devolves The
duty of districting the State for Senators and
Representatives. and apportionhg the repre-
sentation among the several counties of the
State, it is matter of the highest importance
to the democracy of this county and of the ell.
tire STATE, that men should be selected as Rep
resentatives upon whose democracy we can
rely, and whose fidelity TO their party and the
interests of tn cir constituents there cannot be
shadow of doubt. AS almost
rounded by whig counties, it will most pecu
liarly be the interest of the people of Little
Cambria to send man to represent ler in the
Legislature upon whose devotion to democratic
principles the people can place entire conf.
dsnce. and whose character for ster ling integ-
rity is such that nothing will induce him to
desert the cardinal principles laid down by his
purity. That DR.. VIM A. Smith is just such
man, every person acquan ted with him ana
his political course will be. in justice compelled
to admit. No man dare accuse him OF infdel
iiy to has party, or the principles which he
processes 10 entertain, and az to the qualifica-
tons for the office of Repr escntarive. they are
known 10 be superior to any man in the county
In rolItio to this subject, we take the fol
lowing paragra phs from an a BILE article in the
last Harrisburg Keystone, and which SO well
ex presses our idoas TO the duties which de-.
volvs upon democrats that have adopted
them our own:
The people have no right to expect good le-
gslation from bad legislators. When they
are about to make a selection, they ought to in
quire W hether the persons named possess that
degree of intelligence and known integrity,
which would induce them TO confide to :heIr
charge their personal interests. Let this
test be applied. and if the candidate is found de.
fcient, he is certainly unworthy Of the trust,
and ought not TO be selected. The people of
Q very coun ~ are responsible to the people of
The VIII ole state, for the character, and compe.
iency, and fidelity of their representatives,.
One county has no right to expect that another
will send better representative than it does
itself. Hence, the people of every county
oug hit TO reflect as to what kind of materials
the legisla ture would be composed. if it was
made up entirely Of such representatives as
they send themselves.
When a man 10 named as candidate for the
legislature. the inquiry ought to be-Is he an
honest man, who cannot be swayed from his
duty by corrupt means7 Is he a man of fair
general intelligence. who cannot be made the
dupc of the designing harpies that hang around
tho legislative lobb lest Is be man of judi
cious mind and sound judgment, such as ~ou Id
induce his neighbors to apply to hin, for ad.
vice and Information, in matters of private
business. and to whom they would entrust the
sdjustrnen. ofthei. own concerns7 IF he does

AnthOny Lambaugh.

The Democratic County Convention were
peculiarly fortunate in the selection of the
abnye named gentleman the candidate for
the Office Of County Commissioner. He Is em.
inen,ly qualified for the situation. His bust
ness ha bits, his ogrity, his intelligence and
sterling democracy, all point him out the
man best calcn iated to represent tho citizens of
the county in the office Of Commissioner.
Mr.. Lambaush is among oldest and
most nte lligent citizens lie is intimately ac-
quainted with the ditfereut portions Of the
county. and this knowledge is indispensabl lie
to County Commissioner. man should go
into that Office prepared at tho start to a ttend
TO business. The people do themselves great
injustice when they select for this station a
man of no experience or knowledge of the con-
Germs Of this county, who may have to serve
two gears under pay before he becomes quail
fed to discharge the duties of the office. In
roportion to the increase OF populition in
our county, and as her resources become mole
developed, the business of the County Com
missioner advances in the same ratio. Intelli-
gence, capacity and integrity absolutely
requisite TO The members Of the County Board
In the person of Mr.. Lambaugh the citizens
of Cambria County have a candidate in whom
the above requisites are happily blended. lie
deserves and vi i'll no doubt receive the uni tee
support Of the party. The fact that Mr.. Lam
baugh's defeat will give the ascendency in the
County Board to the wings, should of itsel
! stimulate the democracy throughout all parts
of the county, TO the most vigorous efforts L

John Fcnlon and the News"

The last Johnstown News has long article
urging the election of John Fenlon. because,
forsoo,h, the editors Of the Philadelphia Daily
News declare that he is e faithful whig." and
therefore recommend him to The favorable con.
sIderation of the people of this county. There
il certainly something rotten in the whig
ranks when they compelled to seek foreign
aid to help them along in their eleciioneering
campaign. We think that We, the people,
capable of judging for ourselves to who Is
most capable of representing our interests. and
that we kno,o whom 10 trust in Harrisburg
without any dicta,ion from persons residing in
Philadelphia. This the editors of the News
will find out the second Tuesday of Oct pber
next. when the people of Little Cambria" will
pass judgment of cob nemmation on Mr. Fen
o:'s course in The Legislature regardless of
any recommendations he may receive from
abroad.
The News concludes It's article by calling
our candidate the "Flunked-out Doctor" and
promises in short time to give a compa ri-on
tween him and Mr.. Fenlon relative to their
claims for the flee for which they are candi-
dates. We can only account for the applica-
tion of this epithet TO DR.. Smith, by the edi
tors Of the News, to their suPerlative ignorance
concernidg the facts out of which they en-.
de avorirg to create lille political capital
There is an o!d adage, that those 'who live in
glass houses should not throw stones," which
is peculiarly applicable to the editors OF the
Johnstown News and The whig party of IN il
county, whilst they are endeavoring to manu-.
g. ,;n t,l oft tIa g., tLa
say, that DR.. Smith backed out from going 10
Mexico along with the company from this
place. They know, ought TO know. thai
John Fenlon put his name down the roll a,
volunteer 10 Mexico, from which solemn
agreement he funhed out, ,chen the time haa
| orriued fur the departure Of the company. Fo
proof of this fact, we have only TO refer any
| person interested to the roll of The "Cam bri;
Guards" now in the hands of Capt. C. II
Heyer of this place.
| What will the Johnstown News say TO this
We defy any person who has any regard for
truth to Contradict this charge. Perhaps the
News will include this fact in its promis et
comparison between the two candidates.
| But all this talk on the part of the wi igs
about electing John Fenlon. is nero CANNON.
They have not The power of elccting auy per
SON to Office in this county, except through
disaffection in our own ranks, and every BODY
knows that john Fenlon would have been de
leated last fall had it no. been for the great ait
] he received from democratic votes. We ar,
happy to be able to state that such disaffectior
no longer exists, and the democratic party oi
Little Cambria are heartily sick of permitting
the wings TO reap the be nefit Of their private
quarrels. 1t is the determination of every
democrat in The county to come up to the work
boldly and manfully. and give the wings Z
| w aterloo defeat.

US Some fellow, over tho sigma ture OF "Cor-
