Nominations.

Our ticket is now complete, as will be
seen by reference to the head of our edi-
torial column. The Conferees from the
several counties composing this Represen-
: tative District convened in Bedford on
Tuesday last, and nominated unanimously
DR.. WIN. A. SMITH, of Cambria, and
JOHN CESSNA, Esq, of Bedford, as the
Democratic candidates for Assembly. So
universal was the feeling in favor Of the
denomination of these gentleman, that not
single other name was brought before
the Conference. This circumstance af
fords the strongest evidence of the salts
faction of their constituents as to their
course as members of the last session of
the Legislature, and their desire to entrus 1
them with their interests for another wear.
And as every effort will be made by their
political enemies, we expect to see the
Democracy of the District rally in their
strength and secure their triumphan, elec.
ton.
In accordance with our promise Of last
week, we have hoisted the name of JOHN

didate for Congress in the 10Th Congress.

that Cambria was not permitted to have
seat in the Conference, we believe him
to have been fairly and honestly nomlna-
ted, and as such entitled to the cordial sup.
port OF every true and sincere democrat in
the District. His nomination was pre-
cisely similar TO that of the Hon. Job
Mann---two thirds OF the Conferees being
present and voting on the last ballot. The
difference between his nomination and
that OF Mr.. M'Kinney is this-that bur

GENTLEMEN:-Y0u note Of the 29Ih
INST, informing me of my NOMINATION. as
the candidate of the DemOcrdtIc party in
the 18Th Congressional District, has heen
received. Ithauk you, the members of the
Committee, for the kind manner in which
you ave been pleased TO Communicate my
nomination. and my warmeSt acknowledg 4
ments are due to all the memoers OF the
conference which placed me before the
public as the candidate of the great Dem
cratic party they represented.
But, gentlemen, would close with
this commonplace profession of gratitude
10 the Conference. Ii would be mere
hypocrisy in me TO deny that consider a
nomination by the Democracy of this no
ole District almost the highest Of earthly
honors-an honor 10 which | had no pre-
tensions which were not greatly over
shadowed by The claims of others. Under
any circumstances. therefore, could not
but feel most deeply the obligation under
which my fellow cIiiZenS have placed
me. If [ fail to Justify their kindness
and confidence. it shall not be for want of
sCiH TO serve them faith fully and well.
But the qualification which the nomina-
ton affords me is infinitely heightened
by the consciousness that have used no
arts nor no Influence of any kind 10 OBJ
tain IL. Ii WAS unexpected and unsoli-
cited by me. Probably no man in the
District was more surprized by it than
myself.
After the primary elections in West
moreland County, at which received n
fialterIng vote, (bnt not a majority.l |
ceased 10 think of a nomination for Con-
gress. [ did believe it a thing within III e
compass of reasonable probab lity. new
er expressed desire TO either of the con-
ferees who made tn nom nation to be =
minated. l had no communication with
any Of them, either verbally or in writing,
on the subject. or on any subject pertain
ing TO or connected with it. No friend
OF mine ever urged either of the Conferees
10 vote for me in pursuance of any re-
quest or instruction fom me either express
or implied. In short. | solemnfy aver
that had not, either directly or
indirectly, any thing to do with getting
the nomination, and that it has been ZEN
dered 10 me without the slightest effort
made by me TO procure 1t since the pri-
mary elections in Westmoreland.
OF the literal truth Of all | have here
said, | stake my cha racter for common
verF rFcity, and all | have, and all am,
and all expect TO De.
| am well aware that many may think
It would have been better to allow any
charges like those referred TO, insulting
as they are both TO you and myself, TO
pass in contemptuous silence. My own
se!frespect and my regard for you would
have dictated that line of conduct. But
upon full reflection am satisfied that the
Democracy are entitled 10 the benefit OF
my contradiction.
So much for the past. Now for the
future. My course shall always be in
harmony with the princip les of ,he party
with which have heretofore acted -
