is an incontroyertible fact, that the whole dem
ocratic ticket was regularly and fairly nomina-
ted, by an intelligent county convention, after
due, fair, timely and public notice for their ap
pointment 1t is equally incontrovertible, that
every man on that ticket has the leading char
acteristics of the Jeffersonian standard for
public Office, that is, honesty and capa6ility.
Then there is no true democrat can have any
reasonable excuse for not supporting each, and
every man Of them, except the excuse of the
old song
81 do not like you, doctor Fell,
The reason why, l cannot tell,
But this | know, and know full WELL
l do not like you, doctor Fell"
Then if there be no reason for not supporting
every man placed on that ticket, are there not
abundant reasons why they should be supported?
They belong to the democratic party in whose
hands the destinies of your country have been
placed ever since the foundation of your repub-
lie, with few brief and inglorious exceptions
To that party in whose hands your institutions
have hourished and prospered, adding state af
ter state to the confederacy of your republic,
until they have at length reached the Pacific
Ocean. To that party that has no jealousy of
the stranger, who sundering the dearest ties of
kindred, to enjoy the liberty Of this free land,
forsakes the graves and the hearths of his faith
ers, the scenes and associations of his child
hood, the attractions of home and the friends
and playmates of his youth. To that party that
wishes justice between man and man. between
nation and nation, and between state and state.
To that party that wishes to give every man his
due, that wishes to do to others as we would
that others should do to us: that wishes and
advocates the Punishment of fraud and false
hood from the affairs of men. Although these
are the principles of our party, cannot and
dare not claim, that every member who is
rolled in our ranks is imbued with this doctrine;
it would be claiming too much, while human
imperfections abound, while love of money, love
of Office love of power and distinction prevail
But the democratic party is not chargeable with
the imperfections and backslidings of any of its
particular members. No society, no sect no
denomination or party, is held responsible for
the disapproyed misconduct of its particular
members. Iscariots love of the precious metals,
was in no wise derogatory to the doctrine of the
apostles or their divine master.
Now let us take glance at the county ticket
and see whether they will lose anything by a
comparison with their opponents. For assembly,
john KEAS. John Kean is emphatically q
Cambria county man. TIC was raised and nur-
tured in your woods and mountains. His in
domitable perseverance, and energy of purpose,
are characteristic of your county and indigo
NOUS to your soil. Although he is neither a
lawyer nor doctor, he is always able and will
ling to give "a reason for the hope that's in
him." and can neither be sold unwittngly nor
frightened into measures without his knowledge
or consent He has already made, and can
make again, such a representative as would be
no disgrace to any county in the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania. He has been regularly and
fairly nominated. Buckle on your armor, do
credit to yourselves, by giving him and his col
league large majority.
For Prothonota1y, WM. KIrTELL Mr. Kittell
Is now IN the PrOthonOtary Office, is well quail
fed to discharge its duties, and has done so to
the entire satisfaction of every person who has
anything to do with those offices. Indeed it is
the boast of our county, that all strange lawyers
and business men that come here admit that we
have the best kept office, and one of the best
prothonotarys in the interior of Pennsylvania.
The prothonotary is every mans business clerk
IN the county, to a certain extent. There is
scarcely any one who has not some business
with him during the term of his Office either in
the common pleas, the sessions, orphans court,
registers office jurors or witnesses. Then when
there Is perfect satisfaction existing, between
the present incumbent and his employers would
1t not be folly to seek change, suppose there
was no party matter in question at all. When
you have man employed in any of the common
affairs of life with whom there is perfect mu-
tual satisfaction and confidence in every respect,
will you change him for the sake of novelty?
No: self-interest the actuating motive of men,
don't lead that way. Nor will the people of
this county do so, for the sake of pleasing
Governor Johnston.
HARRISON KINKEAD and GEORGE ". EASILY for
Associate Judges. These men were nominated
by the convention. The Office was unasked,
and unsought for by either of them. They are
fully qualified to discharge it's duties. The
great desideratum in an associate Judge, is pure
morality and scrupulous honesty. The breath
Of calumny itself, has never yet limited that
either of these men, have ever deviated in the
slightest degree from the straight and direct
path of rectitude That they are sterling dem
ocrats and will make good and safe judges is
