Democrats. Remember.

When the democractic party of Cambria have
been united they have always been successful.
The present political co ntest is one of vast i'm
portance, and one in which all the Democratic
elements harmonic, which fact, augurs we'll for
the democratic Success
The members of the great democratic family
SHOULD remember that their united exertions are
required in support of The ,choLe ticket! No name
sho,aLd be stricken from the democratic roll when it

for their suffrages. Union-Union in spirit, SEN
timent and action should be the moving impulse

More Ranks! More Banks!

The people of Cambria County would do
well to consider what will be the effect upon
the currency of the State from the result of
the Gubernatorial election BY reference to
the Harrisburg papers, it will be found that
there will be applications to the next Legisla-
ture for no less than
33 new Banks of issue, with an aggregate
capital of IS, $50, 900.
9 new Saving and Deposite Banks, with a
capital of 955, 900
7 old Banks, for an increase Of capital to
the amount of 1000 900.
10 old ditto, asking the recharter of capital
to the amount of 4 ,643, $50.
Making grand total of $14, 949, 800.
Thus, SAYS the Harrisburg Patriot. nearly
fifteen millions of dollars of Banking capital is
asking chartered privileges extensive, as
unlimited, as unrestricted, and as liberal as
can be procured and to this great extent the
subject of Bank reform is clearly involved in
the coming election of Governor and members
of the legislature. The question. and it is an
| all important one, here arises: Shall action
on this point be confded to the safe hands of
| the Democratic party, with Governor BIGLER
| at their head or shall it be entrusted t
JAMES Pollock and the opposition party,
whose heart swells with liberality TO Banks
and who will grant charter in every in
stance where one is asked, without liability,
without restriction, without limitation as re-
| CARDS issues, without tax or any other whole
some regulation, but with the much coveted,
and long sought, darling privilege of flooding
the Commonwealth with small notes.
The Banks of Pennsylvania are now gene
rally in prosperous condition-the currency
sound and reliable, the most so of any State
in the Union-and all this is the result'of De
mocratic policy. If the people of Cambria
county want this state of things to continue
they will vote for Governor BIGLE2 and the
democratic candidates for the Legislature
but if they want some 40 or so new Banks
chartered, and the community flooded with
an immense quantity of worthless paper trash,
they will vote for James Pollock and the
Wing candidat es for the Legislature. Choose
ye between them

\ COTsMPoRART OF WAsuINGroN.-Ast time
speeds onward, the contemporaries of Washing
ton dwindle away until but very few are le1
who have ever seen the Father of his country;
while those who were personally associated with
the patriot-who held intercourse with him,
and who frequently were under the same roof
with him-have almost entirely disappeared.
1t has loug been the general impression that
of all who constituted the household of the
General not one was left but this seems to be
an error An old negro, whose home is in
Fayette county in this State, has become
somewhat famous for his great age, and it is
now clearly established that he was a servant
of Washington's and that he was sold by his
master to a certain BAIL Brown, who after
wards disposed of him to Col Cook, of Was
hington township, Fayette aounty.
The negro is now about one hundred and
twenty-five years old. He was born in Guinea
and was shipped fran there as slave, aud
brought to Philadelphia, where he was pur-
chased by Washington. Funtemah, which
was the African cognomen of the slave, then
changed his name to Simon Washington
After living in the family of his illustrious
master for time, he accompanied him to the
Western part of this State. where he bad

ness in that section of the country. Old ST.
mon had distinct recollection of his former
master, and invariably speaks ofhim in terms
of love and admiration
Col. Joseph Snyder. of Westmoreland coun-
ty, who has now the care of the negro cen
tenDarian, is well aware of the skepticism of
the public regarding the genuineness OF tAe
identity efpersons claiming TO be ''body ser

an array of documentary proofs of Simon be-
ing what he is represepsed. from old and res
pectable citizens of Fayette county, who re-
collect distinctly the connection of the old ne
gro with Washington. Among the afhdavits
vouching for his genuiness, is from General
Joseph Markle, al one time Whig candidate
for Governor of this State.
