"charley Moore. the fair thine. "

1t is said in one Of Shakespeares plays, The
Tempest" that misery makes man acqt,aint-
cd with many strange bed-fellows." Political as
soo oiations, especially when controlled by morbid
appetite for office, usually produce like result.
short time after the adjournment of the Cincin-
natl Convention, the democrats of this place met
at the Court House for the purpose of forming a
buchanan and Breckenridge Club. The present
candidate of the Know Nothings and Black Re
publican parties, for District Aho,ney was pre-
sent at the meeting and aided in its organization.
He had been whig as long as that party had
local habitation and name, but when Know
Nothingism rose triumphant on its ruins, he SYM
pathised with and voted for its candidates. Since
the organization of the Club, he has frequently
declared that Fremont was unfit for President
that he was Buchanan man that he would
vote for him, believing him to be the man
for the crisis-nay, that he ,could' stump the
tchole county for hin,,-and yet this pure and i'm
maculate patriot. has sought, and received NOM
nation for District attorney, at the hands of the
mongrel Know Nothing and Black Republican
Convention which assembled at Jefferson on last
Tuesday. We congratulate the Democracy on
the result, for the accession of any considerable
number of such disimerested politicians to the
astrous, venture to say, that with him the
second Tuesday of October, will be day, long
but not pleasantly to be remembered.

New York.

The Wings Of this State held State Convcn-
ton at Albany on the 14th inst, which was we'll
attended. Hon. Francis Granger presided, and
also addressed the Convention. He spoke in the
warmsst manner of Mr.. Fillmore and series of
resolutions adopted, in favor of Mr. Fillmore
The expression of the Convention was decidedly
opposed to FREMONT as the following resolutions
will show, and indicates the course to be pursued
by the Wings in that state.
Resolred, That We will oppose to the ut
most extent of our ability the election of Mr.
Fremont, believing that he is not qualified for
the Presidency of this Union. We firmly
believe his election would increase the inter-
nal strife, the party be represents icing in
spirit sectional, and inevitably tending to dis
union.
Resolrcd, That in the election of Millard
Fillmore, we find sure guarantee that do
mestic agitation will be quelled, harmony be-
tween the States restored, peace with foreign
nations secured, aud the interests of agricul-
ture, commerce and manufactures promoted
and therefore we will labor unitedly and earn
estly for his election.
Resolred. That while thus lending our aid
to promote the election of the American can
didate, under the conviction that such is our
| solemn duty, we nevertheless retain inviolate
the cherished Wing principles and organiza-
| ton. and as soon after the present contest as
may be convenient we will resume separate
psrty action.

Mass Meeting.

BY an advertisement in our columns it will
be seen that Mass Meeting of the Democra-
cy Of Cambria county will be held in this
place on Tuesday the End day Of September
next. Whilst the masses are everywhere
arousiug themselves and preparing for the
contest before them, we are glad to see that
the Democracy of Cambria are determined
not to be outdone by their brethren elsewhere,
but to open the campaign with demonstra-
ton that will be only an evidence of what
they intend to do in November next. We
hope therefore that the Depocrats in every
quarter of the county will endeavor to attend,
SO as to aid in stemming the torrent of fanati-
cism now rolling over the country, and which
threatens the destruction of the constitution
and to involve us in the evils of civil war.
Let every democrat therefore buckle on his
armor and prepare for she contest to be deci-
ded in November next. The issue is, shall
the constitution and the Union stand or fall
Will you support Fremont the sectional can
didate of the advocates of dissolution Or
will you rally in support of Buchanan the
candidate Of those who advocate One Coun-
try! One Union One Constitution And
One Destiny
Freemen of Cambria to your posts, remen1-
Der that Democracy expects every man to do
! his duty,-resolve in the words of jackson
that q the union must and shall be preserved. -
and all will be we'll. Recollect the time of
the meeting, and it has been fixed upon
court week a number of distinguished gentle
man from abroad may be expected to addres:
the meeting.

The October Election.

It is to be feared that in view OF the certain
election of JAMES BUCHASAN, to the Presidency,
the democracy OF Pennsylvania are not as deeply
Impressed as they should be, with the very great
Importance Of the October election, as well as the
powerful political influence which the result of
that election will exercise on the Presidential is
sue, not only in this state but throughout the
Union. It is well known fact, that whilst there
are three Presidential candidates, buchanan, Fill
~ore and Fremont there are but t,co tickets for
S.lte officers to be voted for at the October cleo
Ion. One Of these, IS the Democratic ticket,
composed of JACOB Fry, Jr., of Montgomery
county for Auditor General, JoHN ROWE of Frank
In county for Su -veyor General. and GEORGE
SCOTT OF Columbia county, for Canal Commits
F!9ner. The other ticket, headod by Dartcin
l'aetps of Armstrong county, for Auditor Gencr-
al, B. Laports Of Bradford county for Surveyor
Gcnerai, and Thomas E. Cochran of York county
70. Canal Commissioner, was originally nominated
by the Black Republicans and subsequently en-
dorse,l by the Know Nothings, well as by all
tee other factions opposed to the democratic par
- To superficial observer of passing political
movements, it would appear that the landmarks
# party difference, are as broadly and distinctly
drawn between the friends Of Fillmore and Ere
mont in this state, they admitted to be,
between the supporters of these two gentlemen
and the advocates Of JANIS BUcHASAN. The
friends of Fillmore through all the forms of State
Convention, have presented to the people Of Penn
sylyania for their suifrages, 4 full and conn pete
electoral ticket, composed of men, who are
vcuched for, as the steadfast and unyieldinc
friends of that gentleman. If this be so, and if,
~ Elmores adhcrcnts assert, there is an innnass-
able gulf Intervening between them and Fremont.
over which they cannot and dare not pass, then
the mountain must come to the mole hill, or in
seif defence, which is something potent in politi-
