Whig politicians, not satisfied with their at
tempts to traduce the character of Franklin
Pierce by applying all manner of epithets to
him, are also guilty of stating that which is
FALSE. AT the whig meeting in the Ebens-
burg Court House, Monday evening, per-
son stated 'fthat Franklin Pierce had never
made a speech in favor of the repeal of the obi
Gus "Religious Test while he was member
of the convention of the State of f'New Hamps-
hire to amend the constitution" To disproye
so reckless an assertion, we publish below the
speech deEtUered by General Pierce in the con-
vention after the remarks of Hon Levi Wood
bury, (also Democrat,) and we challenge any
whig or any wing organ to disprove a word of
it. How despairing must be the whig party
when it has to resort to FALSEHOOD to prom
ote its ends. A desperate cause needs mad

Legislative Ticket.

The conferees from the counties of Cambria,
Bedford and Fulton, met at Bedford, on Tues
day, August 3Ist, and nominated VIM. 2. Schell
ESQ., of Fulton, and Thomas Collins Esq, OF
Cambria for the Legislature. The proceedings
will be found in another column. Mr.. Schell
was one of our representatives in the State Leg
islature last year and his denomination eviden-
ces the confidence reposed in him by the Democ-
racy of the district. He is young man of tai
ent and ability and should receive the united
support of the party. His votes while mem
Der were strictly Democratic and gained him
much praise at home and abroad. We shall
look forward to his triumphant election and an
increased majority over the vote of last fall.
Mr.. Collins is known to almost every man in
Cambria county. He is admirably qualified in
every respect for the duties of Legislature, and
when elected viii prove himself true represen-
tative of the interests of the people of Cambria
He is young man of sound discrimination,
having a well stored mind, and VIII prove a val
liable member to his constituency. The ticket
is a good one and in every way worthy the sup
port of the Cambria Democracy. Let US all
unite, therefore, and aid in the election OF Col
Inns and Schell, two Democrats who viii faith
fully support the administration Of Gov. Bigler
and who will be prepared to render good SER
vice to the people Of the district

u.
concur heartily in ALL that the gentleman from
Portsmouth had uttered, except his last remark,
It was quite obvious that, so far from having
taxed the patience of the committee, his speech
es upon both the great subjects embraced in
the resolutions under consideration had been
listened to with unqualified qualification. Not
because he threw the weight of his high charac-
ter and the power of his arguments into the
scale on the side of right in case where there
was no hesitancy-where the judgment of mem
bers was not definitely formed-where there
was shade of doubt as to the result; but be-
cause it was desirable that the grounds on which
we proceed in matters of such grave import
should be stated, as they had been, with singu-
lar force Of reasoning and beauty ofillustraton.
1t was also a service well rendered, not less in
yindicatiOn of the past than the present. The
ton and of the people in 1892 had been placed
in their true light. So much was due to them
1t was also due to this convention, and the peo-
pie whom they represent, and due to the repu-
taion Of the State abroad, that it be well under
stood tina both Of the proyisions-the religious
test and tha property qualifcatons-had been
dead letter, at least long as the chairman
Mr. Sawyer had participated to any extent in
the councils of the State. They had been prac-
tically imperative from Mr. P IS earliest recol-
lection. The chairman would remember that
many years ago, at a time of high party excite
ment, it was suggested that member of the
House of Representatives occupied his seat
without the requisite property qualifications -
But two objections at once occurred to any ac-
ton upon the subject; the first was that inves-
litigation and action, instead of rejecting one
member, might probably yacate twenty seats !;
the second was, that no member could probably
be found to move IN a matter so UTTERLY RE
IPUGNANT TO PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
''The religious test in the constitution had
undeniably been q STIGMA upon the State, at
home and ABROAD. 1t had been repeatedly nam
ell to him, aud once ut Ieast in a foreign land
as unworthy the~intelligent and liberal spirit OF
our countrymen Although he had at times felt
keenly the reproach, he had uniformly lyreferred
as he had no doubt other gentlemen had done,
to other parts of the constitution as illustrating
the true and free spirit of cur fathers, and to
these as, at least for many years. a blank. The
great question of religious toleraton was prac-
tically settled, and settled in manner never to
be reversed while we retain our present form Of
government, more than thirty years ago. The
provisions now claiming the attensOn of the
committee could hardly be said to involve
pen question. They had been the subject Of
discussion in every Iyceum, every academy, de-
batting club, every town; and there was perhaps
no subject on which public opinion and public
feeling was so uniform and decisive. The sub
stance if substance they ever had, having long
since passed away, he rejoiced that THE PRO

Large Meeting in Johnsto,vn.

The Democracy Of Johnstown and vicinity
had large meeting on Saturday night. From
four to five hundred Democrats paraded the
streets, many bearing torches and Transporter
cies. The procession marched to the pierce
and King HalP' where the crowd was addressed
by Hon. Geo. r. McFarlane, of Hollidaysburg.
Judge McFarlane's speech is highly spoken Of
by those who listened to its delivery. He ez-
amined the principles and origin Of both par
ties, at length-and the effects which democrat
ic or whig rule had upon the country, conclu-
sIvely proving that we have been made what we
are under Democratic principles and cannot
be what we should be unless they are perpetua-
ted. He made a lengthy speech which was rap
turously applauded by his audience. The NEE
ting was one Of the largest and most spirited ey-
er held in Johnstown and argues well for our
prospects in that section. The wings held q
meeting the same night but could not raise a
crowd, although a gentleman from Gettysburg
was announced as the orator. 1t proved a
grand fzzle The wings cannot raise an ex-
citement.

day with the wife of Mr.. Jacob C. Smith. The
proceedings were characterised by the greatest
coolness on the part of both the missing ones
The Doctor borrowing the buggy of Mr.. Smith
to go, as he said to the Rising Sun. Mr.. s..
kindly gave him the vehicle, and walked himseH
into Vevay for the purpose of presiding at a
court. On his return he found an aGectionate
letter from his wife, stating that she had al
ways treated her better than she deserved; she
begged him to take care of little Ruth, and be
as happy as he could" She took one of her
children with her. To steal a mans wife, is
bad enough but to borrow the husbands buggy
to carry her off in, is certainly adding insult
to injury Mr.. Smith has since had no til
dings of his friend, the Doctor, his wife or his
buggy

Highly Interesting from the Fishing Grounds.
BosroS, Aug. IL.
The Gloucester Telegraph of his
morning contains the following informa-
ton from the fishing grounds:
" There have been two or three arrivals
from the Bay of st. Lawrence, and we
gather the following information respect
ing affairs in that quarter: Captain Rog-
crs, of the schooner c. & n. Rogers, in
forms us that he was in the Bay Of Cha
leur, when he was boarded by an officer
from the steamship Devastation, and or
dered out of the Bay. 1t was Sunday,
and there were about 20 vessels in COM
pany. Some of them had made har-
Dor for the purpose of passing the Sab
bath at anchor, as many Of the fishermen
are in the habit of doing, but they were
all ordered 10 get under weigh and pro-
coed out of the Bay Immediately.
The officer who boarded the c. & n.
Rogers, was rather insulting to the crew.
The first he said upon boarding their YES
sci was, "that they had no business
in that place." They were at the time
four or five miles distant from the shore.
The papers were called for, and the rca-
son asked why there was no clearance
among them. After the officer had look
ed at them a minute, he crumpled them
in his hand and threw them upon the
deck, saying 10 Captain Rogers, " there $
your papers, We also learn from Cap
tain Rogers that the crew Of an eastern
schooner were taking in water at one of
the harbors in the Bay, when cutler
came along and ordered them off in fiji
teen minutes, not allowing them sufficient
time to obtain their water.
One of our Gloucester vessels went
into Fort Hood for harbor for the night.
