I GOOD HIT

A rich thing toog place at the meeting Ii
White Township the o,Ltr day. Whilst K.
L. Johrston Esq, Was speaking, some individuals
who did not like the way in which he was laying
out Know Ncthingisn1, endeavored to interrupt
him. He paid no attention TO them at first. Fl
nally in speaking of his own position as an old
line Wing, he asked, ''ln this turmoil of parties.
where shall an old lire Wing Go2'' Some outs-
der J cied out, go to HI. Very well" said
Johnston, '.every man to his choice; you go there
if you please,l prefer TO SO for Buchanan" This

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

We call attention to the card belne. II shows
that the people of Cambria county are b'oked up
and are not 10 be deceived. A word As to the cir
cumstances under which it became proper To pub
lish the card \ handbill signed by r. u. Gagedy,
has been circulated through the county calling
Union meetings ut different places, and among
others. at the house Of Mr.. Schroth. This was
done without bis knowledge, the intention was
evident. the Fremont Know Nothin IS wanted to
hulnbug Mr. Schroth, thinking, that thereby they
could make capital with the German citizens oi
the county, hy representing that Mr.. Sthroth,
who is influential and active, was for Fremont,
and was permitting Fremont meetings to be held
at his house. The very first momeut that he saw
the hand -bill he resolved to have nothing to do
with the meeting of abolitonists and Know-Noth-
ings The spirit which he manicsts is worthy OF
all praise. 1t confirms what we said last week,
that the Germans of Cambria were standing
square up to the Union and Constitution"

ton Of Fremont, because they want to
see the Union Dissolved.

see the Union Dissolved.
There is no doubt at all that this Black
Republican disunion movement is fostcred and
encouraged in Great Britain. The London
Leader. prominent liberal paper in England
says
I'VE know that the Abolitionism of the
Garrisons and men of that stamp has been
fostercd and excited by the Abolitionist in
cendaries of Great Britain, who would have
sacrificed the American Republic rather than
not carry their own dogmas in their own way
The latest news from the United States indu-
ces Us to suppose that the external intrigues
which have found their sccomplices in the
Union are not entirely without prospect of
success. Already the politicians Of England
and Europe are reckoning that the american
people miU elect an Anti-slaroy President,
,eho ,cW send around the byand Of discord,
the burning branch used 10 be sent to rouse
! the clans Of Scotland "
As proof of the statement 80 confidently
made in the Leader, read the following from
! the London Chronicle, the especial organ of
! the Queen of Great Britain:
e. We should be sorry to see Mr.. Buchanan
! elected, because he is in favor of preserving
| the o6norious institutions as they cri:t, and
the unity of the States There is no safety
! for European monarchlai government II the
progressive spirit of the Democracy of the
! United States is allowed to succced. Elect
! Fremont, and the first blow to the separation
! Of the United States is effected "
Another London paper, the STIR. says Ere
monts address upon accepting the nomination
" orght to e.rcite an ardent hope throughout
| England for has success"
! The London Times is out in leader in f.
! vor of Fremonts election. The editor thinks
such result will be subject of eongratula-
ton, as being best for the kingdom of Great
| Britain.
The Paris 3foniteur. official orgau of the
! Imperial Usurper, whom Fremont is said by
| his admirers, to resemble in SONIC of the traits
! of nis character, makes this announcement
Our sympathies are entirely with Colonc
/ Fremont. WE HOPE TO SEE NO EX-
| TENSION OF TIL L DEMOCRATIC
| PRINCIPLE IN THE UNITED STATES
IT is DANGEROUS TO EUROPEAN
| GOVERNMENTS.
These extracts, the genuineness of which
cannot be denied, or if they arc, can be pro
we'd by the foreign files of papers, should b.
kept prominently before the people, as unfold
ing the true character of this Fremont Abo
! lition movement.

DIsuNIoN AT OUR VERY DOORS.

The Fremonters, when curnered in argu
ment. try to get out by saying that the talk
about disunion is all humbug, that nobody seri-
o,lsly wants to dissolve the Union-that it is all
fudge.
Now, it is known to the people Of our county,
that the Fremont men have been for the last week
hsuling about, in several Of Messrs. Thompson
and IIamilten's hacks, whom they call DIR.
Smith, of Virginia. They brag about him
great g,,n as splendid speaker first rate debater,
&c THIS same DR.. Smith, who says that he
halls from some Jail out west, was taken on last
Friday in great state by the Fremont men from
this town, out to Blacklick township. He made
a speech there, in which lo said, THE TIME Is
FAST APPROACHING, WHEN IT WILL EE NECESSARY
FOR THE NORTH TO FORM AN ALLIANCE WITH
GREAT BRITAIN, TO MAINTAIN THEIR RIGHTS
AGAINST SOUTHERN AGGRESSION"
These are the words which Smith made of.
We understand that he now denies them, but we
can prove, by as honest man as Cambria county
can show, that "Dr Smith" from, Virginia did
them.
People of Cambria county, how do you like the
doctrine Here it is, in all its naked deformity.-
The Black Republican KnowNothinss say that you
must make up your minds to ally yourselves with
our natural foe, Great Britain. for the purpose of
making war OH brethren in the Southern States
People of Cambria, you have been distinguished
for Your devotion 10 the Union, for your jealous
gard for the honor of the ''star spangled banner;
| are you prepared to turn your backs upon fifteen
! American States, and join hands with England the
natural enemy of American institutions and AM
| erican Liberty2
The Frcmonters cannot back out it, This is
| the doctrine advanced by their great gun, by tle
man who was expressly brought here to revolution
izc Cambria county and cause it to give majority
for Fremont, and who is even yet petted by them
! Hereafter let them deny if they dare, that thcil
object is disunion.
We ask the people to take special note OF thi:
matter. We will prove, by sufficient testimony
every word that we have said, should it be necessa

DIR MEETINGS

During the past week. several meetings of the
friends of the Union have been held; they were all
numerously attended, and by the right kind of
people. 1t is hardly possible to describe the de-
termination and spirit manifested by " the bone
and sinew " in every portion of our county. We
have never seen the citizens thoroughly aroused.
We have right to be proud of our organization
now and we think that will be proudor of it
on the l4th Of October.
