President Judge.

Thomas p. Campbell, Esq, our candidate for
this important Office was in Ebensburg from
Saturday until Monday, and az Plane No 4,
Summit, Plane No 2 Jefferson and Johnstown
on Monday, TUESDAY and Wednesday. He has
made a favorable impression upon the people of
all parties, and the Democracy are determined
TO do all they can to eject him. His superior
qualifications, his acknowledged ability for the
station, and the prompt and efficient manner in
which, if elected, he would discharge the duties
imposed upon them are q sufficient guarantee
that he Will run like streak. We have strong
hopes Of his election over Judge Taylor, and if
the taxpayers of Cambria know their own in
terest they will to man support Maj. Campbell
The following article we take from the Hunting
don Globe" and you can judge from the high
estimation In which he is held at home, if he is
not the very man we want for President Judge
That Major Campbell has the necessary legal
quaiihcauons, and a reputation for integrity,
upon which no imputation can be made no one
acquainted with him will pretend to deny. AL
though not yet more than middle aged man.
he has for years been in the front rank of the
profession at this bar, and experience would
teach US that man who has raised himself to
that rank, from comparatively humble life, bv
industry and the force of his own natural abili-
ties, will not only maintain it, but will, by the
same means, rise higher. A well balanced and
emlnentiy legal mind, acute perceptive faculties
a ready comprehension, and his ripe profession
al knowledge, qualify him to discharge the du-
ties OF the bench, with that promptness and in
telhgence, which will benefit the suitor while
bis affable demeanor would secure all due cour-
tesy to the members of the bar

A report having been circulated in various

it to be too sacred an affair to be mixed up in
the sea Of politics, and we hope our friends will
not suffer its introduction here TO the injury of
any candidate.

Of having used certain expression about n
certain religious body of persons, offensive to
the members Of body of christians, to which
the said religious body of persons were attached
IN the Bar-roOm of Mr.. kittell of the aforesaid

Escaped :

Capt Thomas Ridley and Robert Eckert, alias
John McFeely, escaped from Jail last Sunday
morning at B o'clock. They were the principal
persons engaged. in the late robberies in and
about Johnstown. Eckert at one time escaped
from the Bloomfield, Perry Co, Jail, and is no
doubt an experienced hand at the business.
Although he was ironed, he succeeded in getting
his hands through the bars eff the door and
picked the lock with some instrument he must
have had concealed his person. He then
picked the lock of the cell in which Ridley was
confined, released him, and picked the lock of
the back door and left for parts unknown. The
Sheriff has offered q reward of 800 for their
apprehension.
Ridley was lately engaged in running the
Canal Boat, Ruth Ann-is about 80 to 81 wears

Gov. Johnston Condemned,

William F. Johnston. in his Lancaster Speech,
said that if he had been member of Congress
he never would have voted for the Texas Boun-
portant Sections of the Compromise Measures.
And he further said that the Union is in no
danger, and could never be dissolved.
Now to prove the incorrectness Of his position
to show to you beyond doubt that he is not
the friend of the whole country-to demonstrate
to you that he is i'll direct opposition to leading
men Of his own party-to satisfy you in your
own minds that his opposition to these measures
places him in the list with such abolitionists as
Seward, Giddings, Hale, Howe, Garrison, Thad.
Stevens, &c.-we quote from only two sources
Daniel Webster, the great leader of the
Northern Wing Party, said at Albany, whilst
speaking of these measures the following words
"Nerertheless gentlemen, desire TO declare in the
most emphatic manner, that hold these lars and
especially that sehich prooded for The adjustment of
the controversy nth Te1ds 10 hare been essential
! TO the preservation Of the public peace" There
fore, VIM. F. Johnston is condemned by the God
like Daniel, (as the Wings call him. AND
WOULD HAVE VOTED AGAINST THE PRE-
SERvATION OF THE PUBLIC PEACE.--
You cannot support such man.
Again Daniel Webster has said in reference
| to the Compromise measures: % Fl aeas my con-
scfeno"s belief, still unshaken, ever since confirmed
that if the difficulty ,cith Teras could not be ami
eably adjusted hhsre must an all probability, hare
been ciUR asar and civH 6ioodshed" Therefore,
as VIM. z. Johnston has said 6ol4i,,, that he
would not have voted for an aInicable adjust
ment of these difficulties, HE WAS IN FAVOR
OF CIVIL WAR AND CIVIL BLOODSHED.
Freemen Of Cambria can you support such a
man whose heart and soul are in open rebellion
to the interests of the Union? You cannot, you
aciu not
The Washington Republic, the organ of the
Wing party of the United States, says on this
subject "Tke Compromise 1t is ,oeU kno,cn is
regarded By President Fillmore as the best If not
the only means Of restoring peace and quiet to the
country, and maintaining inUiolqte the tteqrity of
the Union" Yet Gov. Johnston says he would
not have voted for part of this Compromise,
and therefore he was opposedto the RESTORA-
TION OF PEACE AND QUIET TO THE
/ COUNTRY. Such q man deserves universal
condemnation and he sosU reesige it on the 2nd
Tuesday Of October. No man can receipe the
support Of Pennsy5Uania ,cAo as not the true ana
firm friend Of TIE Compromise measures, and as
VIM. F. Johnston has shown his hostility to the
measures he will be consigned to a political
grave, while WILLIAM BIGLER, ,Vho is the
I.frm and enthusiastic supporter Of all OF these
measures, is entitled to the support Of every
Union loving man in this Commonwealth and
will be rewarded by triumphant and glo-
rious election, and when the fight is over and
the battle won, the glad tidings will be heraded
to the North and the South, the East and the
west, that PENNSYLVANIA Is TRUE TO THE
UNION, THE CONSTITUTIONS AND THE CoMpHoMlsE

Should never be disregarded. They are uner-
ring indication that the vital functions of nature
have been interrupted in their healthful action
and that serious evils must inevitably follow
unless the system be again set right by the
timely use of proper remedies.
rs, Bear in mind, that nature is ever en-
deavoring to expel disease when it inSades the
animal economy, and only needs the assistance
OF some genial estorative-thorough, yet mild

Governor Johnston and the Public
Treasury,

Governor Johnston prates much about his re.
plenishiRg the Commonwealth treasury, out he
is careful not TO say word about his attempt
to flch from it. He not only charged the Com
monwealth, and actually received mileage foI
going to Harrisburg to assume the duties of the
Office of GOVERNOR thing unheard of-but he
also demanded from the State Treasurer pay as
Governor, at the rate of ttcetce hundred and Gfts
pounds, whilst he was acting Governor by
virtue of his Office Speaker OF the SenaIe,
under the act of 1871, which provides that the
Speaker of the Senate when he shah exercise
the office of Governor in cases provided for III
the Constitution shall receive lat the rate oil
twelve hundred and fifty pounds per annum, -
thus attempting to take out of the treasury,
tHegdiig, a sum much greater than he was enti-
tied to under the laws fs existence at the time and
of which he was fully aware. Here then we
have a bare-faced attempt of his Excellency to
take from the Treasury of the Commonwealth,
illegally, large sum of money for the purpose
of appropriating it to his own use and yet this
economical Governor tells the people that HE has
provided ways and means for supplying funds
and extinguishing the State debt!
But perhaps the Governor has forgotten this
attempt upon the public funds, inasmuch as he
failed in accomplishing his object, but we dare
him to denial. We are prepared with the
proof, if necessary, to establish the fact that
he did make such demand of the then State
Treasurer, and insisted upon its payment. The
Treasurer, however, refused to pay and here
the matter ended, Gov. J. not daring to expose
himself by attempting to compel the Treasurer
to pay his illegal claim.
Such then, is the man who asks you to sup
port him because of his guarding the public
Treasury man who, during his official Ca
reer, has been endeavoring to prey upon it.
VIII the people of Pennsylvania longer permit
him to occupy a position which affords him an
opportunity to put his hands into the public
purse when he pleases? We are convinced they
will not - Carlisle Volunteer

never have seen the light, had you not ieareu
that the activity of others would cehhure S0o'
own indifference.
We believe that the majority of Pennsylvania
is right. We have been pleased at the zeal ''nu anu
gratifed with the sympathes of many we nave
met But. sir, if the laws shall now be sus-
tanned; if the country shall be satisfied ina,
Pennsylvania is right; if the South is 10 mo
that this law will not be inefficient; DC assuieu
that not one particle of the honor VIII pe Si,en
to the Governor. We will not say that he mas
acted traitorously; that by his previous course
he has been the indirect occasion of this out
rage; that the blood of Edward Gorsuch is on
his skirts; but We must say that he has not
been 'sclear in his great Office, but recreant 10
the trust imposed on him.
Much more in sorrow than in anger, subscribe
| myself your much injured friend,
J. S. GORSUCH.
The above able and exemplary Divine was
engaged in preaching in his pulpit at Ryland
Church, in Washington city, when the news Of
the murder of his venerable father by negro
and abolition mob reached him. In speaking
of the late Mr.. Gorsuch the Philadelphia cor
respondent of the \. Y. Tribune says: ''Mr-
Gorsucb was class leader in the NJ L. Church
about sixty-three years of age-and enjoyed
universal esteem as neighbor, citizen and
christian He was generally esteemed for hls
amiabie and equitable character; in fact 50
1 just was he that cases were submitted TO him
| for his Judgment, which, under other circum-
stances, would have been brought before court
of Justice He had also for a number of years
been in the habit of releasing his slaves from
seryitude when they attained their 2Sth year.
The above letter from his is gall and
,corm,cood to VIM. F. Johnston, who, through
his opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law, has
aided and abettedrin this tragedy. He passed
the scene Of the murder only FEE hours gftsT Al
had occurred and number Of persons asked ham
uohetter he did not intend to bring the murderers 10
justice and he replied that 1t c.his t1ssi-
ness Jut the business Of the United States officers.
! He then went 10 Philadelphia to make political
speeches, and from thence TO Berks and Schuyl-
kill. He returned to Philadelphia on Saturday
evening and was addressed by Hon. John Swift,
John Cadwallader, Esq, John W. Forney, Esq,
and a number of other prominent gentlemen,
''to take active measures to vindicate the laws
and sustain the dignity of the State" On Sun
day morning Gov. Johnston replied that more
than twenty-four hours before the receipt of
your letter the parties implicated had been ar
rested, &C." But he conhadicted ks acords,
for on Monday morning, 10Th Sept, he issued
his proclamation offering reward of $1,000 for
theira arrest The murd r t o., place on Thursday,
11th Sept.-that day Coz. Johnston passed along
and although Of the passengers ,cent IN 10 see
the body Of the murdered man, HE REFUSED
-FOUR DAYS AFTER he issued his proclamation.
o Shame. Shame! VIM F. Johnston.
