Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1855-07-11
Speaking Ont.

Simon Cameron will be candidate for u. S.
Senator next winter again, and no one should re-
ceive the countenance of the party who will sup
port abandoned, and profligate, and unprinci-
pied hypocrite. Let him, and all who acknow-
ledge themselves be his friends, be driven from
the party, and we will commence the contest with
earnestness and zeal.-Pitsbug Union, July 3d.
Fully and cordially do we endorse the above.
and we are confident the Democracy of this coun-
ty, camp followers excepted, are ready to say
Amen to it. Cameron and the flock of political
cormorants by which he is surrounded, have been
blight and curse to the Democratic party in
Pennsylvania long enough, and we join with our
friends of the Union Ia advising, that they be
druramed out of our ranks, without further hesi-
tation or ceremony The sooner ranks are
purged of renegades, and wolves in Sleeps cloth
ing, the better. The conduct of certain sefstyied
democrats, whose religion and nativity render it
impossible for them ever to become know-Noth-
ings, in endeavorng to secure the election OF Si-
mon Cameron to the United States Senate last
winter, after they well knew that he had joined
the midnight conspirators, and was their caucus
nominee, is without parallel in the history of
political venalty and corruption, and goes far to
convince us of the truth of the saying of the i'm
mortal bard, that
" Some men worms,
More than the living things that crawl in tombs."
How disgusting and revolving, to hear these
same men prate about their devotion to the prin-
cipies OF the Democratic parry, to behold them
setting themselves up leaders, and to hear them
dictate to honest and unbough. Democrats, who
have stood by their principles through good and
evil report, in sunshine and IN storm, who their
candidates should be. In our opinion forbearance
has ceased to be virtue and it is high time the
reign of traitors should cease. If acting ON the
charitable principle that,
While the lamp holds out to burn
The vilest sinner may return,"
we do not thrust them from our ranks, they should
at least be compelled henceforth te occupy that
low place in the ranks of the party, which their
recent treason merits.
The Democratic party We are confident, Will
triumph in this State next fall, and Cambria
county must do her part in accomplishing the
good work. Her Democracy will be required in
few weeks to elect two Delegates from each
township and borough in the county, whose duty
it will be to assemble in Convention, and place in
nomination County ticket. This is matter of
much importance. and should be attended to at
once. No should be elected as delegate
who has not honesty and manliness enough, to
resist and repulse any effort that Simon's Aids
might make, to influence him in the discharge of
his duty. We want men pure and above suspicion,
who will feariessly discharge their duty unawed
by interest and unbought by gain.
In conclusion would just remark, that we
do not wish to be considered as being personal in
our observations. No, not at all. But if any fine
fellow feels his brstles rising while engaged in
perusng this article, it is highly probable, as old
Gen. Ogle would have said, that he knows who
we mean sTpercizely''
