A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT.

The last number Of the 'Mountaineer"
contains communication signed AHegheny,
which the Elitor is graciously pleased to
inform us, is from an old and reliable Demo
crat 1t contains number Of startling dis
closures which it is meet the Democracy of
OF Cambria should forthwith know, and we
therefore proceed to lay them before our rea
dsrs in as condensed manner as possible
The first disclosure is that certain men wish
to run as delegates to our next County Con-
ventiou "who are tainted with Black Repub
licauism" We moro than half suspected
this. even before the appearance Of Mr.. Al
legheny's Proclamation. There can be no
doubt that the Anti-Lecompton Democrats
who few months ago united With the Know
No.hings and Black Republicans. for the pur-
pose of breaking up and disorganizing the
Democratic party, will take an active part in
our delegate elections. and endcavor to con-
troll the next Democratic County Conren-
ton. The plen who only few weeks ago
Fred Douglas in denunciations of Mr.. Bu-
chanan and the policy of his administration,
are now setting themselves up as the guar
dians Of the party in this county We agree
with Mr. Allegheny that men tainted with
Black Republicanism should not be trusted
as delegates. But if Anti Lecomptonites are
elected as delegates, they will doubtless be
permitted to take their seats in the Con-
vsntion. The evil which he apprehends
must be prevented if prevented at all, by
she people. at the Primary Elections. Mr.
Allegheny then proceeds to lay down the
following maxim OF eternal truth for the
future guidance Of the Democratic party {:

who is never seeu in our public meet

lie right IN this. The honest, consistent, AID
unassuming Democrat who labors for the sue
cess of the party faithfully. but with as little
noise and ostentation as possible, has no righ,
