Where Is O'Brien {

During the late canvass, Mr.. Forney astsn-
lshed the natives by announcing in the Penn
sylvanian on the eve of the October election,
that ID. W. O'Brien lad rendered immense
service to the Democracy in Cambria and
Schuylkill counties. We noticed the state
ment at the time, and showed that it was err
roneous; that Mr.. O'Brien had been sent
here after the work had been all done by our
own citizens, and that he had Deyer opened
his lips to make speech whilst in Cambria.
Recent Developments would indicate that
O'Brien's operations in Schuy ylkill, have not
redounded much to the advantage of the Dc
mocracy. Is he responsible for Lebo and
Wagonseller? Trot him out and let him give
so1ne account Of his great services in Schuyl-
kill.
Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1857-01-28

will sustain him for the reason, that he refec-
ted their sentiments and also, because they
believe, he acted from high sense of duty
and from pure and discnterested motives.
In conclusion, Bowman informs the demo-
Gratis of Cambria, that the eyes of the whole
country are turned towards them, to see what
manner of men they are; and that now is the
time to show the stuff of which they are made.
The Democracy of Cambria, accepts the issue
and sends greeting to George w. Bowman,
that they viii hold Mass Meeting at the
Court House in Ebensburg, on next Satur-
day, and that they will then and there say to
him, in very plain saron, tha. George N.
Smiths feet are not 60 polluted" and that his
check is not SCARED with the brand of
s traitor"
Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1857-01-28

But whilst refrain from discussing the
conduct or impeaching the motives of any of
the Democratic members of the Legislature
during the recent Senatorial election, would
do myself great injustice it, by my silence,
my opinion in regard to the policy of holding
Legislative caucuses should be misconceiyed
or misrepresented. Previous to the electson
of DIR. Sturgeon and General Cameron, 1 had
uniformly expressed my sentiments in favor
,of such caucuses and had even urged many
frientas to exert their influence with the De-
mocratic members to induce them to attend
the late cauccs. Indeed. l am firmly convin-
ced that this is the best mode which expert
ence has ever discovered of preventing indi-
uidual preferences for mcn from distractng
and dividing the party, and thus endangering
the triumph of the great principles On lDemoc-
racy. But this result only be produce1
by the will of the sovereign people themselves
Should the extraordinary excitement which
you Inform me now exists in Pennsylvania,
cause our Democratic fellow citizens to decree
that their Legislative servants shall hereafter
go into caucus and be bound by its decision
fairly made, this excitement will then have
resulted in great public benefit. But there
is no remedy for the past: and it is true wis
dom to submit Co that which is inevitable, with
the best grace we can-taking care to draw
lessons from it for the regulation of our future
conduct.
heartily respond to all your commenda-
tons of Judge Woodward. His private vir-
tues and splendid talents will adorn any public
station to which he may be called.
With sincere regard for you, both individ-
ually and as the representatives of an honest
and enlightened Democracy, to whose kind
ness l am indebted, under Heaven, for any
little public consideration l may enjoy,
[ remain your friend.

My Dear Sir Although 1 have always
refrained from irterposing in the choice of
Senators by the Legislature, yet the highly
confidential relations which Pennsylvania
President ought to sustain towards Pennssl-
vania Senator at the present moment. induces
me to say few words to you as a valued
friend, on the pending Senatorial election. [
learn that doubts have been expressed as to
my preference among the candidates, and al
though my opinions may be entitled to little
weight. l do not desire to be placed in an
equivocal position on this or any other sub
ject. When asked, have always said that [
preferred Col. Forney, and / should esteem it
friendly act towards myself, for any person
