county, Cambria might by special grace
be permitted TO have taco members of
Congress in one hundred gears. We
don't know whether this arrangement
would be satisfactory to the "few" demo-
Gratis in Cambria, but if il be, she would
only have TO postpone her pretentions for
three years, when the half century will
have been completed.
! We can see nothing wrong in the reso-
luton passed at the Cambria county meet
ing, presenting our claims TO the next
candidate for Congress. But if it is
wrong, we have merely followed the ex-
ample set us by Westmoreland on seye-
raj occasions. Our resolution was in.
tended to call the intention Of the people
of the district to the fact that we were
disposed to ask at their hands that which
we thought decent regard to justice
would unhesitatingly grant US, without
any intention whatever of wounding the
pride of Westmoreland or any other coun-
ty. Cambria county has always yielded
cheerful and cordial support to the can
didates taken from the other counties of
the district, and she thought the time had
now arrived when justice would warran,
her in asking the nomination of one of
her own citizens. If membership of a
Congressional District for forty seven
years, without ever having a candidate
does not entitle her to this privilege, we
would like TO know what does.
1t is asserted by the Westmoreland pa
pers. that pledge was given by the Bed
ford Congressional Conferees at their last
meeting, that they would support Cam
bria county man as the next candidate.-
We do not believe that any such pledge
was ever given, nor do we recognize the
right of any set of Conferees 10 make
them. Such pledges amount to nothing,
and are never considered binding on a
party, because they are always without
authority. But our pretensions are not
founded on anything of that nature. All
we ask at the hands of our sister counties
is common Justice, and our confidence in
the democracy of the District is such as
TO lead us to hope that we will get it. We
may refer TO this subject again.

Correspondence of the Mountain Sentinel.
STATE CAPITOL.
HARRISBURG, April 80, 1850.
Dear GiUen:

Dear GiUen:
At the date Of my last let
ter had hoped that by this time, could
announce the passage of the two import.
ant bills of the session, namely: the A p.
portionment bill and the Appropriation
bill, but such is unhapplly not the fact.
The House of Representatives did pass
an apportlonment bill, which was sent 10
the Senate, and lost i'll that body by
tue refusal of .m"r. Spoke: Spoke: Rest TO vote
when the time came for the passage OF
the bill. This result has all been brought
about by Mr.. Best and few democratic
members of the House, who have agreed
to vote for Mr.. Best's darling measure,
the county of Montour. 1t is lament
able fact that, scarcely any measure can
be brought up i'll the Legislature. which
can be passed on its own merits, owing
to the abominable system of log-rolling
which is practiced by the members. The
appropriation bill has been under consid-
Grafton i'll the ii. r. for week past, and
il, too, has been delayed in consequence
of the failure on part of the Senate to pass
the apportionment bill. l cannot see for
the life of me, why so much feeling sho' d
be manifested by members on the subject
Of Montour county, inasmuch as it is en-
tirely local question.
But there are many queer things done
here. In Senate the other day, willis.
the bank question was before that body,
Mr.. Sankey, the whig member from Mer-
Ger, made a most violent flatfooted speech
against all banks, which took every one
by surprise. Mr.. S. did not only speak
against re-chartering those institutions, but
against creating any new ones-and de-
fined his position to be this, that he was
opposed to the Banking system AS it has
been carried on in Pennsylvania, and in
favor of the free banking system. This |
consider shrewd on part Of Mr.. Sankey,
because he sees that the free banking
question is forcing its way into public fa-
vor, AMI eventually must become popular;
and Mr.. Saukey is determined that the
democrats shat, not have the credit of this
reform. so loudly called for by the die
tales of sound reason and public policy.
Mr.. Darsie the whig member from Allie
gheny, is also in favor of the free banking
law, who also deserves credit for his ad-
vOcacy OF the measure. In the State OF
Ohio, among the democracy of that sler-
ling State, if a democrat votes in the Le-
gislature for the charter or re charter of a
Bank, ii is considered sufficient cause for
his expulsion from the ranks of the party;
but in Pennsylvania we find democrats
voting for those Institutions with a gusto
and recklessness, that the most rabid
whig. with the strongest stomach and
mosi elastic conscience, would recoil at.
What think you, my dear sir, of a
democratic member of the Senate voting
