attains to the place in the confidence and es-
teen of the people Of Cambria, that Augustin |
Durbin now occupies. With regard to the |
resolutions. We have only to say, that we have |
good authority for stating that no resolution
sustaining Governor Packer, was passed by
the Committee Had such a resolution been
offered, it would doubtless have received the
vote of every member of the Committee pres
We presume Mr. Riddle wonld have voted
against it, because he recorded his vote against
a resolution sustaining Governor Packer, in

The Editor of the ..Mountaineer, will
probably deny that the article we have now
under consideration, contains either direct
indirect charge of fraud against the Com
mittee. Why,n the very first sentence of the
article he says, 1T appears that the mere
touch of the Lecoinpton Constitution is con-
tamination and that those who attempt to
sustain that fraud, must do so by reenacting
vention that framed it. This fact was most
glaringly Illustrated IN our town last week"
This is the preface to his comments on the
proceedings of the committee He charges
the members OF the committee who sustained
the National Administration, with being icon
taminatcd' with reenactng the base scenes of
f! the Lecompton Convention, q Convention
which he has again and again denounced as
fraud, cheat 4 swindle. II this does not
clearly imply charge of fraud and bad faith
against the majority of the Committee in at
| tendsn ce then words have no meaning.

passed off very quietly. The contest for

peared to be the order of the day. Annexed
is the Return of the Z lection. It will be
perceived that the Democracy have succeeded

! tors, three Of their candidates for Town Couu-
| Gil and their candidates for Assistant Asses
