The mountain sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1844-1853, 1852-07-08
so SOON TO BE FORGOTTEN {:


The Pittsburg Chronicle, of June 80, referring
to the coldness manifested in that Whig city
when the news of the death of Henry Clay was
received says:
''In every city where the news of Henry Clay's
death has been received, with the exception OF
Pittsburgh, some public manifestation of sOr-
row, such as toling of bells, suspension of bust
ness, &c, has occurred. The news had not
reached the Arsenal yesterday, or if it did, no
public notice was taken OF the event. Not a
bell tolled here in response to the general grief.
We understand that some few of our manufac-
turers and business men intend remaining clo-
sed to-day"
Such conduct is indeed outrageous on the
part of those who professed so much honor for
the great man while living Can it be true that
he is SO soon to be forgotten by his own
party-the party that now could boast of no
existence had it not been for his efforts in its
behalf. And the Holidaysburg Standard, thus
speaks for that section -
''The news of the death Of the distinguished
statesman, Henry Clay, was received by the
! Whigs of this place with cool Indifference, al
though they, perhaps, surpassed the, JFhigs of
any other section in worshipping him in 1844.-
Not bell was tolled, not a tear of sympathy
was shed for the nations loss-not even a NEE
ting was held, or an eulOgy pronounced. We
see plainly how it is-in paying homage to the
living General, the dead statesman is forgotten;
and it is likely that if any honors are paid to
the memory of the distinguished dead, theDem-
ocrats will have to move in the matter"
BeA9The wing county convention met at the
Court House on Tuesday, and nominated the
following tieket
LegisLature-Daniel Litzinger
Sherif-Alexander M'Vicker.
COnmtssioner-Solomon Caster

! Messrs. R. b. Gageby, Wm II. Gardner and
a. NJ. White were appointed Congressional con-
ferees and not instructed. The ticket nomina-
ted is not such one as to rally to its support
the entire whig party of the county, and viii
suffer heavy defeat in October next.
RG9@Our thanks rendered d. A. Magellan
Esq, of San Francisco, California, for late pa
pers. We notice that Lieut.. Chas. McDermitt,
formerly of this town, has been elected Sheriff
Of Syskiyou county, in that state. 1t is crafty
ing to be advised Of his advance in the golden
country, for the reason that his worth as a man
and his true devotion to the democratic party,
entitle him to the highest regard.
