AN IMPORTANT INQUIRY.
Who IS the Ebensburg Correspondent OF
che --Pittsburg Dispatch 2

Ia leokiug over late number Of the
-.pirssburg Dispatch" our attention was ar
rested by the following paragraph in the edi-
sorial column
The Democracy Of Cambria, as we learn
from reliable correspondent and member Of
the party, were misrepresented (unintentlon-
allyl in our statement Of Mondays issue,
thnt they bad endorsed Mr. Buchanan and
Nr Bigler's course on the Kansas question.
Our correspondent says, under date OF Ebens-
burg, Feb. 18th :
The Democracy of Cambria are opposed to
the admission OF Kansas under the Leconp-
ton Constitution, because they regard it as
fraud, and they will deiue their position in
,eru.s not to be mistaken at Z County meet
ing TO DO held at the March Court :"
The majority Of our readers are doubtless
avarc, that tho "Dispatch" is 4 Know Moth
ing and Black Republican paper. it las for
wears been almost daily filled with the lowest
and viiest calumnies against the men and
principles of Ihe Democratic party. Its edi-
tors are not mere freesoilers out r&ntiug abo-
Iitiouists OF the Lloyd Garrison and Fred
Douglas school And yet it would seem thas

II would appear from the above. shat it
had becu stated liz tho Dispatch" sometime
previous to the 10Th inst that the Democ-
raey of Cambria were in favor OF the admis-
sion of Kansas under the Lecompton Consti-
tuition. This statement excited the Indignation
of an Ebensburg Democrat He doubt
less feared that it might be noised abroad
that the Democracy of Cambria, so far from
being willing to become the allies of the Black
Republican party, were determined TO stand
by their principles and the President of their
choice. He at once informs these Know
Nothing editors. to their infinite edifcation
no doubt, that the "Mountaneers" are oppo-
sed to the administration of James Buchanan,
and winds up by announcing meeting du-
ring March Court. t. denOunce the LecoInp-
ton Constitution as q fraud Now. we are
exceedingly anxious TO know who this ''reli-
able" Ebensbulg Democrat is, and we are
equally anxious to know on what authority
he bases the statement, that there will be q
meeting in this place next week for the pur-
pose OF denouncing the Lccompton Constitu-
ton as fraud. We arc anxious to know
whether he is merely some aspiring young
man, who writes for the pur pose of seeing
his ''scribblernents'' in print, or bona fdc
gentleman Of the "lnner Temple" one Of

who are constantly devising ways and
means" to control the political affairs of Cam
bria county, which it j. not meet outsiders
should forthwith know. If he belongs to the
fraternity" it is highly probable he speaks
by authority, and that an effort will be made
next week. to transfer the Democracy of Cam
bria county to the Black Republicans, body
and breaches. Under these circumstances
We regard it as our duty to call the attention
of tho Mountain Democracy to the matter,
and to yarn them to beware of the wiles OF
the opposition
