Of man, who would so far dishonor himself, as
to declare in the National Know Nothing Con

the successor of that clerical demagogue, the Rep

Democrats Of Cambria! such is the candidate
opposed to the Democratic nominee, Cirrus L..
Pershing. The one is high minded honorable
man; the other is mere trading politician, who
would crawl into Know Nothing lodge and con-
coct schemes by which to degrade and oppress a
portion of his fellow citizens, and then crawl out
again and denounce his fellow conspirators. if by
doing so, he believed he could better his political
fortunes. Choose We, between them

JOHN CRESSWELL JR

A rigorous effort will be made by the Black
Republicans to defeat this gentleman's eel
ection to the State Senate Although Cam
bria claimed the Office, yet when the popular
will was carried out, in the selection of one of
her citizens as the democratic candidate for
Congress, was perhaps asking too much to
insist that the Senatorial candidate should also
be conceded to her. Mr.. Cresswell is gen.
tleman of talent and great responsibility of
character, and during his three years service
in the Senate occupied a commanding position
in that body. He is deservedly popular at
home and will be warmly sustained. In cri-
sis like the present, there is but one duty for
every democrat to perform, and that is to lay
aside all political grief and vote the whole
ticket. 1t is no time to enquire why this man
or that man was not nominated, and assume a
position of armed neutrality. So fatal cat
astrophe as the election of Black Republican
legislature this fall must be prevented, and
the only certain and effectual way to do it is
for every friend of Buchanan and the State
ticket to do bis whole duty at the October ell
ection.

FILLMORE ON FREMONTISM.

After his return from Europe Mr.. Fillmore
delivered a speech at Albany, in which he
spoke of the Black Republican party and the
dangers of its success, as follows:
But this is not ALL Sir We sec political
party, presenting candidates for the Presiden-
cy and Wee Presidency, selected for the first
time from the Free States alone, qeiM hcaro,c-
ed purpose of electing these candidates by smf-
trdges Of one part Of the Union only, and
rule orer the ,chole United States. Can it be
possible that those who are engaged in such
measure can have seriously reflected upon the
consequences which must inevitably follow in
case of success? [Cheers. Can they have
the madress or the folly to believe that our
Southern brethren ,could submit to be gorcrm-
cd by such Chicf Mugistratep (Cheers. y
Would he be required to follow the same rule
prescribed by those who elected him in making
his appointments If man living south of
Mason and Dixon's line be not worthy to be
President or Vice President, would it be pro-
per to select one from the same quarter rs one
of his Cabinet Council, or to represent the ma
tion in a foreign country? Or, indeed, to
collect the revenue, or administer the laws of
| the United States? If not what new rule is
/ the President to adopt in selecting men for
| Office that the people themselves discard in Sc
! lccting him? These are serious, but practi-
cal questions. and in order to appreciate them
truly, it is only necessary to turn the tables
upon ourselves. Suppose that the South har-
ing majority Of the Electoral rotes should
declare Mat they uovld only hare Shareholders
for Presidentand Iice President and shouto
elect such by their erelusire su6irages to rule
orer as at the North. DO you think ice ,coulo
submit to 1t. No, not for moment Ap.
plause. And do you believe that your South:
ern brethren are less sensitive on this subjec
than you are, or less jcalous of their rights
! Tremendous cheering) If you do, let mt
tell you that you are mistaken. And, there
fore, you must see that if this sectional part,
succeeds, it leads inevitably to the destruction
of this beautiful fabric reared by our fathers
cemented by their blood. and bequeathed t.
US as priceless inheritance.

FAIR

The Committee of arrangements having in
charge the preparation for the county Agri-
cultural Fair are very cnergeticaly at work.
The ground has been considerably enlarged
new sheds for the exhibition Of articles erect
ed-oficers for the different committees pre-
pared. The track has been extended, AID is
now one fourth of mile in length, and is per-
fectly graded. An excellent Brass band has
been engaged. In word, the committee are
neither sparing time OF expense, and expect
to make it one of the most attractive fairs that
has ever came off in the State Every body
and their friends are coming to the fair; and
so they should. We think that the meeting
of friends and neighbors and the comparing of
ideas consequent, give pleasant variety to
the dull routine of every day life.

The Voice of Allegheny.

The Old Line Wings of Allegheny township
are taking an active stand with their Democratic
brethren TO risst the spirit of intolerance, fanata
cism. and disunionism, now agitating the country,
and which threatens to involve us in q civil war.
Many have already avowed their determination to
henceforth act with the Democratic party, Tegar-
ding it as the only National party now in exis-
tence, and the only hope they have of rescuing
the country from impeding dangers. The follow
ing communication from two Old Line Wings we
publish with pleasure, and gladly welcome them
to our ranks Their example will not be without
its influence with others, and when the day of
election comes the patriotic and constitution loving
Wings of Allegheny we are satisfied will nobly
do their duty.

Wing party is politically dead, we the under

GEN. JACKSON'S OPINION OF MR.
BTJCHANAN

The more reckless portion of the opposition
have been attempting to make the public be-
lieve that ''Old Hickory" did not hold Mr..
BUCHANAN in high estimation. They allege
that GEN JACKSON wrote letter, in which
he spoke -disparagingly of Mr.. B., but that
misrepresentation has been exposed by Mr.
Mac GAvocK, of Nashville, who had the cur
iosity to see the letter of GEN. JACKSON, from
which a quotation bas been hawked about
and he finds it UNANIMOUSLY mutilated. I'm
mediately succeeding the quotation made by
the Know Nothings, is the following in Gen.
JAcKsoN's own hand writing;
.'Mr Buchanan is man Of fine talents,
and If he comes into the department of state
,cK erecute the duties scith ability"

A GLORIOUS MEETING old WASH
INGTON IN THE FIELD

We are strictly within the bounds of truth,
when we say that the Buchanan meeting at
No. on last Saturday evening was the lar
gest and most enthusiastic political gathering
that has been held in this county during the
present campaign. The unterri6ed democra-
cy # old Washington were out in all their
strength. If any man ever doubted to what
that gallant township can and rriU do on the
second Tuesaoy Of October, well as the
Ah day ef Norember, he had only to look at
the vast crowd and be convinced. The ster-
ling democracy of Johnstown and vicinity, of
Summerhill, of Munster, Summit and of Eb-
ensburg were there il hundreds, and dcserv e
all credit The turnout of Germans was un-
usually large. and is an evidence tina, they are
fully alive to the great issues at stake in the
present contest
The only thing that inttrfrrcd with the har-
mony and entire success of the meeting was
the failure to erect the splendid Hickory Pole
which unfortunately broke at the second
splice. The democrats ef the township are
determined however, to elevate it at no dis
tant day, The meeting was presided over by
PAUL GEORGE, ESQ Speeches were de-
livered by Geo. r. Stewart, Esq. and Cyrus

WILL THERE BE \ FREMONT ELEC-
TORAL TICKET?

Whilst in every northern State there is a
Fremont electoral ticket, there is none in Penn
sy,vania The friends of the Black Repub-
lican candidate are afrai1 to placa one in NOM
nation, and true to their political instincts,
hope that at the eleventh hour they will be
able to force the friends of Fremont into the
support of the Fillmore ticket, and then ap-
propriate to themselves the fruits of the. vic
tory, This attempt at fraud is indignantly
repudiated by the Fillmore men, or at least
by very large majority of them, who avow
their determination to stand or fall with their
own candidate. In the political history of
this country, no party has ever occupied SO
ba:e and humilia:ing a pos ton as the one
just now occupied by the Black Republican
party in this State That party has candi-
date, but is without any of the political ma
chnery by which to render its decree eFectu-
al. in the event of a majority of the people of
the State declaring against buchanan. VIII
any man pretend to say that Fremont and Eli
more stand upon the same political platform
or, that the affairs of the government would
be administered in accordance with the same
policy by the one or the other? To ask the
9aestion is simply absurd. The difference in
principle is equally wide and radical be-
tween the well defined policy of Fillmore and
Fremont, as it is between Buchanan aud Ere
mont 1t requires no further proof than the
declaration. which is notoriously true. that

to see Black Republican blush just ask him,
- Where is your Electoral ticAet?' If you
are honest in yo1r support of Fremont, why
is it, that although your candidate has been
in the field for three months, your party has
not had the courage TO call State Conven-
ton and nominate Electors? You claim that
your candidate viii be elected; that you will
carry Pennsylvania, (without the vote of
which Fremont's success is hopeless, and yet
you are waiting to drive bargain with the
friends of Fillmore, and like the celebrated

Suppose that the Black Republicans in this
