The mountain sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1844-1853, 1850-07-04

ISoHFenilOn WOulu not auJouTH on the mo-
ton of his chum Mcguire, as he wished il
to do, without appointing Congressional
Conferees as has been customary for wears
past. The unusual manner, and unusual
time selected by himself, and those with
whom he acted, in appointing Conferees
IT April last without any notice being Civ
en- OF their intention so to do, in order to
let the people act, and the causes therefor
1t might no doubt be very unpleasant TO
| those concerned to inquire into. But this
is not now our purpose, nor do we deem
it necessary to reply TO all the trash con-
tanned in last weeks paper. The attempt
now made to create the impression that
the conferees were appointed by the con-
vention after it had adjourned is all folly,
and worthy of the originators of this story
so fiatly contradjcted by large majority
of the convention who signed its proceed.
ings. The truth is the convention did not
adjourn upon Maguire's motion being put,
but Immediately proceeded to consider the
motion of Mr.. Donoughe to appoint con-
ferees, when Mcguire, the Editor of the
Echo and few others one by one left the
room, the main body of the convention
remaining in their seats, and proceeded to
appoint conferees. and standing commit
tee for the ensuing year. Seventeen out
OF twenty-eight delegates never left the
room until they had transacted all the bus
mess usually performed by the county
convention, when they adjourned, and
now the Editor of the Echo labors hard
to prove that the convention had adj journed
when he and Mcguire had left the room
followed by the delegates from Richland
&c, and that the course OF the majority
of the convention was all wrong. He al
so charges the convention with being infu-
enced by the dictation of VIM. S. Camp
bell Esq, in the election OF congressional
conferees, and with ''a desperate attempt
! to disorganize the democratic party
| Such charges come with bad grace we
think from the Editor of Echo, or those
who have heretofore practiced "disorgani-
zation," nor do we suppose that either
| Mr.. Campbell, or the members of the con-
vention would feel much alarmed at the
charges emanatng from the quarter they
| do. The idea "that clandestine project
was in contemplation to ROB Cambria CO.
of her choice to the next candidate for
Congress" because the convention thought
proper not TO ad ourn at the desire Of Mr..
Mcguire, but to pursue the usual course of
appointing conferees, is only worthy of
:! the Echo man, and is best answered by the
acts of the convention itself which intruc-
ted the conferees "to support from first TO
last the nomination of Cambria county
lman."
The gross perverslon of facts, and base
charges relative TO the late Convention
made by the Editor of the Echo, we feel
satisfied will meet with an indignant con-
trodleiion from Mr.. Campbell and the
members Of the Convention. If the Edi-
tor of the Echo believed that Conferees
ought not TO have been appointed by the
Convention, we opine he would have
shewn much more sense 10 have quietly
submitted TO the will of the majority
awaited the decision of the Congressiona
Conference which will shortly meet, as te
which set of Conferees were most regu.
larly appointed and entitled to their seats
t and not have attempted to impugn the
motives, and malign the character of Other
members of the party.
We shall now leave the matter, and il
answering the four or five columns o
; trash contained in the last Echo, we are
only sorry TO have occupied SO much
space, and will be perfectly willing tc
abide the decision of the Congressiona
> Conference. At all events we hope the
Editor of the Echo may be found as ready
ial;d willing as we are to ensure the nomi
nation and election of a CAMBRIA COUNTY
