Cambria County VS.. the American.

Ihe harrisburg American, published by
Gov Johnston's brother, the young gentleman
who came so near being appointed Consul to
Glasgow, Scotland, by Gen. Taylor, says that

(perhaps the editor of the s'Whig"l) that

County will, next fall, give a Democratic major
ity OF 400 or 500 votes heavier than ever it

him ca maSse, and also to do their duty to the
balance of the ticket, SO you will no doubt be sur

Judge Ives is an honorable and high minded
man, such an one as would not stoop to do any
mean act to increase the majority of the party
IN this county, and during his already brief
visit with US, he has attached to himself as
friends and admirers many of his political op

The Democracy of Washington, Frederick and

and influential counties in the State of Maryland,
IN Congressional Convention assembled, unani-

Michigan, to the next National Convention as
their choice for the Presidency. Hon VIM. 7.
Hamilton was unanimously re-nOminated for
Congress. Resolutions were passed in favor of
the Compromise measures and the Baltimore
platform of 1874. Gen. Cass will no doubt re-
ceive the almost unanimous vote of Maryland
in the next National Convention.

The last Bedford Inquirer contained most
Gbellous and ferocious article in relation to the
Hon. ]. s. Black, President Judge of this Judi
cial District. As the paper has disappeared,
we can only speak of it from the impression
produced by first reading, which was one of
the most profound surprise. Judge Black is no
fayorite of ours, especially at this time, when
he occupies so conspicuous a position on the
Loco Foco Free Trade ticket, but in the war of
politics we must not so far forget the common
decencies of life as to permit the private char
acter of neighbor and fellow citizen to be
made the prey of violent personal animosity,
when our very silence will be construed as evil
dence of acquiesence. The personal abuse so
largely indulged in by portion of the political
press, instead of answering the purpose inten-
ded, invariably recOils upon its authors, as has
been repeatedly proved. By deterring men of
character and merit from offering themselves as
candidates for Office it has assisted in elevating
men to high political preferment, who, had
they been rewarded according to their deeds,
might have looked through the bars of felon's
prison. 1t has still further acted as premium
upon scoundrelisnl, because it has been found
that those who are the most abused by the press
can command the heaviest maiorites, even if
the charges made against them are proved; and
that men have ceased to believe anything upon
the authority of the public prints. For the last
ten years the tone Of the press has considerably
improved in this respect, and it still needs i'm
provement. To raise it to its proper level in
the respect and confidence of the community, it
is necessary that every violation of the common
laaO of truth and decency should be promptly
repudiated, and that IN making charges against
public men the whole herd of scriblcrs should
be compelled to put them in tangible shape,
and at the same time to produce the evidence
on which they rely for their support The
charges made against the Judge, as far as we
can gather from this document, are iacapacity
and official corruption. That Judge Black, the
renowned champion of the Buchanan Free Trade
party in Pennsylvania man whose intellectual
stature is higher by head and shoulders than
even the leaders of that faction, is incompetent
for the Office for which he has been nominated
as candidate, is astonishing if true.' His
reputation as jurist will hardly be injured by
q few drops of ink, and may well be left to take
care of itself As to his character either public
or private, we have only to say that in this
community it is unimpeached and unimpeacha-
BILE, as weH as that of Maj. Forward, who is not
now q candidate for any Office, and we know of
nothing in the character or conduct of either to
which the dark and malicious insinuations of
the Inquirer's article could possibly apply

Upon this paper, the New York Courier and

comments =
| If any such paper as this has been circulated

! WEBSTER. 1t bears the marks of having
emanated from the Jornoi Of Commerce office,
or from some kindred source. Under pretcnce
OF defending Mr. WEBsrER.it stabs him about as
eticctually as the adrotcst Thug could murder
his victim. 1t assam $ that the Mayor and Al.

State, inten 'ed, by the action they took, to cast
indignities" upon Mr.. WEBSTER ; and that
they must, therefore, do battle on his behalf
against the Wings of Massachusetts and New
| York The action of the Board of Aldermen
III Boston, has been satisfactorily explained by
themselves. And as to the action of the New
York Legislature, it Is sufficient to say that Mr.
| w EBSTEkS wishes were consulted and graft
fed throughout He had no desire to be in
vited, at that time, and under existing circuln-
stances, TO Albany.
We trust TINT Mr.. WEBSTER may be invited
to this City, and that all possible respect and
honor will be paid him by our people. But
we protest against this attempt, under the guse
of friendship, to ALLEVIATE him from the great
mass of those who have defended himtor years,
against the most malignant assaults of those
who now assume to be his exclusive champions.
We have seen another paper, inviting Mr..
WEBSTER hithcr, which avoids the invdons
references oi'tlGt which we have given above.
1t is the one which his friends will probably
prefer to sign.

pie Of Massachusetts to draw their own infer

A second ballot vas then gone into, and NJ.
Summer went astern. He lacked one vote
clear Of an election. A third ballot ensucd,
which was interrupted by discovery Of one
man putting in NcD rOteS tOr Charles lSUmner.
This delayed proceedings awhile. Mr.. Bart
lett, Of Boston, moved that the votes then in
the box be thrown aside, and new ballot be
commenced. This the Speaker ruled ont of
order. The vote proceeded, and when the
Committee reported, it was found that Mr..
Summer lacked one vote of an election, and
and that the Committee had included in Mr.
Summers vote the twO that had hen cast by one
man. This was little more than the House
could stand, and the report was amended by
striking oW one Of the uoieS for Mr.. Sumner,
which left him in a minority of two. 1t was
now nearly dark, and several Intellectual al
tempts were made to adjourn. A new ballot
was then gone into, which upon being an
nounced, Mr.. Sumner found to lack four coles
" an electioa.
The House adjourned about o'clock, on
motion Of Mr.. Cowdray, of Stoneham, and the
balloting is to be recommended this morning.
We call the attention OF our readers to the
particulars as reported in another column, and
we ask the attention of the Wing member RS OF
the House to the fact, that as the balloting re-
commences this morning, that they be on hand
promptly, and fight the battle again, with the
same unanimity and determination that they
did Yesterday, and on previous ballots.

II is probable that there is no paper in this

1t is wholly impossible for such paper to do
anything but damage to any canse that has the
least tincture of right or Justice in it, because
it violates, unhesilatingIy, every principle OF
