Prescription.

We find the following resolution among the
pr oceedings of the meeting of the whig con-
ferces of the counties of Huntingdon, Bedford
and Blair, held in Hollidaysburg on Wednes-
day the 18th inst:
"ResoLUcd, That we recommend, as wings
the removal of every officer under the Nation.
al and State Adminstrat ions, who is opposed
to the general welfare of the whig party, and
the principles which have governed it for
years.
This declaration places the wings under their
true colors, and at once shows the people how
much Glance is to be placed upon the promi
ses OF the whig party previous to an election.
No such resolution was adopted by any whig
meeting during the whole canvass of last fall;
and Gen. Taylor was elovat cd to his present
p osition.u the solemn pledge made to the
people, that he would prescribe no man for
opinions sake. Since they got into power,
however, they al once become the advocates Of
prescription without parallel in the political
history OF our country. They have now for.
gotten all their pledges, and eager for the
spoils. Before the election, they were perfect,
y willing TO permit every man who was honest
and competent to retain his office, and in proof
of this, they published Taylor's plodgc that ho
"hated nay loathed prescription" from one
end of the union TO the other.
AS we have before repeatedly stated, we care
no th ing about democrats being removed from
office. 1t is the gross violation of solemn
pledges solomny made, and the total want OF
that feeling of honor and honesty which would
compel them to regard as sacred their pledges
to the people before the election, and on which
they rode into power of which we we complain.
No, now, as always. they go upon-tho princi-
pic that every thing is fair in politics, and

Blair County,

Our whg friend of Blair county appear to
DO getting into q "peok of trouble" Their
nominations do not seem to give such univer-
sal satisfa ction, the Rsgist ers article would
leaa one to suppose. Already several volun-
teer candidates are in the field, all"good wings
and true" and we expect soon 10 see more an
nounced. J. Nj. Lindsey, of Holiidoysburg,
and Thomas Rees, of Williamsburg, announce
themselves as independent candidates for Shcr-
if. and G. W. Johnston, ESQ, of Holidays
burg, for Prothonotary. This does not look
much like .'union and harmony" in the great
whig party of Blair.

to go uncontradicted, before the public
that, as public officer | have drawn
largely upon the Treasury and paid the
"officers" on the road, and permitted '.the

the officers and laborers in the Repair De
partment four months wages, and to the

unprecedented since 1871.
1t is with deep regret that feel myself
constrained to appear thus before the pub

The Approaching Contest.

A glance ut the relative position occupied by
the two opposite parties in this county, will be
sufficient to satisfy any candid thinking man of
the certain triumph which awaits the democra.
cy in the approaching contest. When there is
no dissention or dissatisfaction in our own
ranks, the wings have no possible chance of
success. That such is the case now no man
who has any regard for truth will dare deny;
and this circ umstance alone would be sufficient
to place the matter at rest, in the mind of any
one. But as our opponents viii, as matter OF
course, resort to every species OF trickory and
the publication of "cock and bull' stories on
the eve of tho election it will be the duty OF
every good democrat to be cup and doing"
full turn out, and a united .effort the part of
democracy, is oil that is required to render our
success certain.
Our candid ates for the two most important
offices, DR.. VIM. A. Smith, and John Brawley,
are men against whom not single reasonable
objection can be urged: DR.. Smith has the
entire conf dence of the party, and no one
doubts that in tho capacity of a Legislator. he

Smith. He is we'll known to the people of this
county, and knowing him as they do. we feel
confident Of his election. No democrat can
consistently vote against him as John Fenion
is known TO be whig-a whig in sentiment
and feeling-and this county, which is demo.
cratic, will certainly not again allow itself to
be represented by one who is opp osed to the
principles it cntertains. But on some future

law of the church which prohibits the use of
meat on Friday from the present time to the
