Examination of Teachers.

A public examination of Teachers for the
Common Schools of Ebensburg and Cambria
township, was held at the Court House in
this place on last Friday. Mr.. Mccormick
the County Superintendent, was in attendance,
and gave all the aspirants to the honorable
profession of teaching the g young idea how
to shoot" thorough and careful examination
in all the branches of education usually taught
in our Common Schools. The result was
highly satisfactory, and we are confident that
all to whom certificates were granted, will
make excellent Teachers.
In the evening an interesting and instruc-
two Lecture was delivered by MIR. Moor
mick, on the "System of Education by Com
mon Schools" which was listened to by a
largo and attentive audience of ladies and
gentlemen. The people Of Cambria have
been peculiarly fortunate in securing the SER
vices Of Mr. Mccormick as Superintendent,
as bis exersions have contributed much tow
ards forwarding the cause of education by
Common Schools in this county. A grateful
people appreciate his worth, and future hon
ors are in store for him.

snea Ter of the House Of Reprosentatiyes.


We arc pleased to observe that a number
of Democratic papers, in different parts of the
State, have expressed a preference in favor
of George N. Smith, member elect from this
county to the next House of Representatives
of this State as Speaker of that body. Capt
Smith has already served with distinguished
ability in that body. for two successive ses-
sions, and his triumphant election for the
third time, over the formidable opposition ar
rayed against him. is the best evidence of the
confidence of the Mountain Democracy, IN
his integrity and ability as Representative,
He is possessed of the honesty. irnness and
knowledge of parliamentary rules, necessary
to constitute good presiding officer. and his
election as Speaker of the House, would be
nothing more than well merited compliment
to the man. and the gallant constituency
which he represents.

Tbs Democracy of Pennsylvania.

The Democracy of Pennsylvania have just
passed through an exciting contest and achie-
Yed signal victory over the combined forces
of their opponents. Packers majority over
the united vote of Wlmot & Hazlehurst will
not we think. fall below 10000, and may
possibly reach $4,000. The news of this
signal and decisive victory has been received
with thrill of pleasure by true patriots In
every section of the Republic, affording as it
does additional evidence that our noble old
Commonwealth is still true to the Union, still
occupies the proud position of keystone of
tho Federal Arch.
The campaign just closed although not so
exciting as the Presidential contest last fall.
in many respects bore strong resemblance
to it. The same talk about bleeding Kansas.
the curse Of slavery, southern aggressions on
the rights of the North with which the ears
of the people were regalcd in 1856, was re-
hsarsed by David Wilmot and his aids during
the late contest. The result proves that Alb
olitionism has neither local habitation or
name on the soil Of Pennsylvania, and that
her sterling democracy, in the language of
Washington, will stand by the Union ''in any
event."
1t was natural that our illustrious Chief
Magistrate should look with peculiar anxiety
to the result of the contest in this his own
dear native State If Wilmot had been cleo
ted Governor. it would have been universally
reaarded as condemnation of the admins
trasion Of Dir. Buchanan by the people of his
own State Those who hoped that this wod
be the result have been wofu,ly disappointed.
pspnsylvsnis has proved her fidelity to her
own SOD and the time honorcd principles of
the Democratic party by rolling up a large
and increased majority for the Democratic
State ticket. a.-s 2a'
i. In a contest for the perpetuity of our free
institutions the Democracy of Pennsylvania
have never been found wanting. They have
always been at their post, ready for action in
the hour of danger and trial. By their vote
last fall at the October Election, they preven-
ted the election of John G. Fremont to the
Presidency, and the triumph of Black Re-
publicanism, which would have inevitably
lead to dissolution of the Union.
1t is not little gratifying to find by exam
ination of the official returns of the elections
during the last three years, that the democ-
rscy of Cambria, throughout all the changes
and vicissitudes Of the political arena. re-
manned true to the principles and landmarks
of the Democratic party. Cambria county is
now the banner county of Western Pennsyl'
vsnia. and all true patriots will re-echo The
hope, that she may remain in her place O
power and beauty forever. -l

High Prices.

8 1t is certainly astonishing how provisions,
&C., keep SO enormously high, notwithstand-
isg tho scarcity of money. There certainly
never was more abundant crops throughout
the United States than those of the present
year, yet the price of Grain of all kinds con-
tinues high, at least in this county. There
is a time when forbcarance ceases to be q
virtue, and we think it is high time the people
should resort to some expedient, with the
view of obtaining provisions at reasonable
rates. A word to the wise is sufficient.
