The mountain sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1844-1853, 1851-11-13


Re,olved, That we look upon the course pur-
sued by the members of the Convention. as un-
precedented in the history of this County, as
arbitrary and unwarranted, and calculated to
disorganize the party. That the members of
the Convention were elected in June last for the
purpose Of forming county ticket, and that
there their duties ceased. That the passage of
a resolution by that body continuing themselves
in power for one year, and under which they
pretend this day to have assembled, cannot be
justified, and any acts done under it has no
binding force upon the party.
Resoiped, That full Convention in " hich all
the Boroughs and Townships are represented
consists of thirty-two delegates, and on the
present occasion only twenty-six were present,
of whom eight were substitutes. That only six
teen of those present voted for the resolution
derogatory to Mr.. O'NeiIl, which would not have
been a majority had the Convention been full OF
bona fde delegates; and that of those who now
censure Mr.. OtNeill many are known to have
voted for Wings since 1872, and some Of them
at the last election.
Resolved, That the course so far pursued by

appreciation, and 30 long as he evinees dispo-
sition to do his duty to the Commo nwsasth as q
public officer he will be sustained, as we'll as the
Canal Board.
Resolved, That so far from Mr.. O'Neill deser-
wing censure, we think he deserves the thanks
Of the Democratic party throughout the State
for his energetic and fearless exertions in favor
of James Campbell, and that Judge Campbells
increased vote in this County is in great mea-
sure to be attributed to those exertions, whilst
some Of those who now censsfe Mr.. O'Neill
were, to say the least, lukewarm in his support.
Resolved, That in common with our Demo
cratic brethern throughout our good old State
we rejoice at our triumph at the recent election,
regarding it, as we do, as Triumph of truth
and principle over error and demagogueism,
vindicating the policy of our party, and proving
ito the world that Pennsylvania is now she
has ever been opposed to all stctionalism, and
ready at all times to sustain and uphold the
constitution, compromises and laws which bind
together eur glorious Union.
Resoieed, That the course pursued by some
protesting members of the party, to bring about
the defeat of one of our candidates for the Su-
preme Court merits our utmost condemnation,
and although our victory is marred by the defeat
of James Campbell yet it only endears him the
more to the Democracy of the State, and will
enable the party hereafter to protect itself more
effectually from the treachery of his assailants,
who are well known throughout the State.
Resolued, That Cambria County has heretofore
invariably expressed her preference for the ia
vorite son of Pennsylvania, James Buchanan,
for the Presidency, and that in again raising
our voice in his behalf, We do so feeling satisfied
that he is in every way competent fer that e1-
alted station, aud hereby instruct our conferees
to vote for no man as delegate to the next 4th of
March Convention unless he is knows TO be an
unwavering friend of James Buchanan.
Resolped That the Editor of the Mountain
Sentinel is hereby requested by the Democracy
of Cambria County to pursue the same honest,
unwavering, and consistent course that he has
done in not allowing the name of any Democrat
in this County to be Indignantly assailea through
his paper, the organ of the party in this county.
Resolved, That we sincerely deplors the diff
culties which have heretofore existed in the
party in this County, that we had hoped ere
this to have seen an end to them, that we know
.unian and harmony" to be desired by the mass
Of the p:rty, end that we are still willing to
hold out the olivs branch Of peace, being pre-
pared to sacrifice much persona, feehng Tor
principle, and bury in oblivion the Fcst so as
again to unite the party.
Reso1ued, That the proceedings of this meeting
be signed by the officers and published in the
Mountain Sentinel, Pennsylvania, Bedford Ga
zette, Pittsburg Post, Carlisle Volunteer, Har-
risburg Union, and other Democratic papers of
the State.
