who are opposed to the horrors and outrages of

ty in Pennsylvania, it certainly is Cambria coun-
ty. We say then, let the real people of the coun-
ty come together on Tuesday September 4th, and
let there go forth expression of opinion, that
must have its influence in the State-one that will
be worthy Of our county and people. We hope
that this matter will be agitated during the next
week. We may have more to say in relation tc

nation IN his stead.
1t affords me pleasure hereby to pledge myself
10 the State Central Committee, that am not at

olution Of the State Convention, and in the form
prescribed by the State Central Committee but
desire further to state to that Committee. and
through them TO the voters Of the Commonwealth.
that reject in the most unqualified terms the
doctrines OF the Know Nothing party, so far as
they have not been taken from, and do not con-
form to, the avowed principles Of the Democratic
party. they being otherwise anti Republican and
anti American AS citizen of the United States
as Pennsylvanian, protesting to be governed be
the Constitutions Of my country, and liberal
Christian principles, / could not subscribe and
solemnly take the oath required Of me assuming
the Office of Canal Commissioner, to support

tuition of the United Statesn if had taken an
oath or other obligation binding myself TO reject
the claims of any American citizen for Office on

high honor, for which 1 shall ever be grateful.
