Our Senatorial Candidate.

In the first number of The AHeghanian,
we published the proceedings of the Con-
ference at whose hands LEWIS W. HALL,
Esq, of Blair County, received the nomi-
nation as the candidate of the PEOPLES
Party of this Senatorial District. In an
article upon the subject, we informed our
readers, that we thought it prudent, for
reasons therein given, to defer the con-
sideration of the claims and prospects of
the nominee for subsequent number of
our Paper. 1t is well perhaps that we
have exercised this prudence We are
now the better enabled to mete out justice,
not only to Mr.. Hall and the Cambria
County Conferees, but to ourselves.
Hitherto the name of Mr.. Hall has not
been at our masthead. To-day it is there
and there it shall remain until the sec
ond Tuesday of October shall tell us of
his success or of his defeat. In adopting
this course, we yield for a time right,
though We do not feel that we are sacri-
fcing a solitary principle. If any of our
readers imagine that we have been slow
to take such action, we submit to them
in brief the following as the grounds of
our delay.
We have from the first considered that
the action of that conference was unfair
towards the People of Cambria County,
We stop not here to inquire into details.
We care not now to recount the many
wrongs that have been done to further
that result. cambria County was entitled
to the nomination. Such has been and
still is our opinion, and no argument,
however plausible or by whomsoever pre-
sented, is likely to change it. When,
therefore, we learned that the Cenferees
who represented this county, had with
held their approval from the resolution
to make Mr.. Halls nomination unani-
nous, we felt that we too had a right to
withhold our approval from the nomina-

THE NEXT CENsUs.-Next year the
eighth census of the United States is to
be taken. This enumeration is one of the
most laborious and difficult tasks which
the government has to perform A time
ly suggestion is made by the National In
teligencer, which is that each farmer this
fall, as he gathers his crops, he shall keep
something like an accurate account of the
value of the same and if he will take the
trouble to make out a statement of the
names and ages of his family the number
of acres of land cleared and timbered the
numbers and ages of his servants: the
number Of barrels of corn, bushels of
wheat, rye, barley, potatoes, &C., and the
value of each, and leave it in some place
where any member ofthe family who may
be at home when the deputy marshal shall
call can readily get hold of it, it will save
time to all concerned, and very greatly as
sist to make the census returns perfectly
complete and satisfactory.

Our COnfereeS.

We stated in the first number of the
4aue9hdnadn, that two of the Conferees of
the Peoples Party 81 Cambria County
had taken neither lot nor part in the reso-
luton making the nomination of Col. L.
w. Hall unanimous. This statement was
entirely correct. Mr.. Williams we are in
formed, voted for the resolution; Messrs.
Barker and Roberts did not vote at all
We would state however, upon the best
authority, that while Messrs. Barker and
Roberts did aot vote, they have neverthe-
less considered themselves, and still con-
slider themselves bound by the resolution
and that they all intend to support Co..
Hall at the Polls in October.

A Word of Advice.

The Blair County Wig and the Cam
baia Tribune, two of the Opposition jour
mails in this Senatorial District, in their
zeal to subserve the interests of Col. Hall,
have, we regret to say, opened out upon
Augustin Durbin, the Loco-F Foco candi-
date, In a very coarse and indelicate man.
ner.
Witness the following gem from the
Wing:
'The Locofoco Buchanan and Bigler candi-
date for Senator is engaged in the Whiskey
business at Munster, but they say he "can't
keep hotel" Well, if he can't do that, can
he make laws for the people? This is Sc
rious question and should arouse the sober
minded people to look at it with that consid-
Grafton which justly belongs to it. Let the
watchword be-'Can't Keep a Hotel.'''
And the following titbit from the 7i-i-
June:
'As well might the gentlemen who compo-
sed that Conference have nominated one of
their old boots for the responsible and honor
able position of State Senator, the ignorant
and boorish individual they did. Mr.. Durbin
may be useful man in a small way in the To-
cality in which he resides, but that he possess
ses any, even the slightest, qualifications for
the position of a law-maker for this great
commonwealth, is a supposition most ridicu-
lous and absurd. Nobody-no honest and
right-thinking Democrat-believes that this
man Durbin is fitted, either by nature or edu-
cation, for any Office in the gift of the people
higher than that of township constable or su-
pervisor,
Now, these articles besides being very
ridiculous in themselves, are untrue. Mr..
Durbin is not engaged in the Whiskey
business at Munster, as the Wing asserts,
nor is he the ignorant and boorish indi-
vidual the Tribune would make him ap-
pear. 1t is true his qualifications for a
Senator are not SO good as those of his
opponent; nevertheless, if elected, we
doubt not he would serve his constituents
well and faithfully-at least as well as a
Loco-Foco could do. We have certainly
no desire to exercise the office of a censor
over the editors of the Wing and Tribune,
but we do feel ourselves impelled to give
| them some advice. And it is this: If
you really desire the success of Col. Hall,
publish no more articles about his oppo-
nent such as you are now guilty of: Do
not oppose Durbin SO much on the ground
that he is not qualified, as you do on the
ground that Mr.. Hall is better qualifed-
Oppose Durbin as Loco-Foco. Support
Hall as the Peoples candidate.

ton. Conferees are generally supposed
to speak for the county they represent,
and when their action is right, should be
sustained.
Moreover, about the time this nomina-
tion was made, we were informed that the
nominee had been particeps crtminis in the
dastardly plot which, three years ago, as
sisted in the defeat of A. G. Mullin. This
charge once made out to our satisfaction,
we say it broadly and boldly, Mr.. Hall
could not have received our support under
any circumstances. We determined, there
fore, not to commit ourselves to him or
his cause, until his guilt or innocence in
the premises complained of should be
fully established.
These, then are the grounds upon which
We have withheld our support from the
nomination. The first ground We now
waive for the present; the last, We are
happy to state, is not well founded. We
are assured by Mr.. Hall, as well as by
others who ought to know, that he not
only voted for the Union Senatorial Can
didate in 1856, but that he labored faith
fully for his election. And now, to pre-
serve intact the organization of the Peo-
pies Party of Cambria county-for the
success of our local ticket-to save this
Senatorial District from Loco-Foco mis-
representation-and in the hope that, in
future Conferences, the People of our
Mountain County will be more fairly
dealt with-we join hands with our Cam
bria Conferees in ratifying Mr.. Halls
nomination and in laboring for his cleo
ton.
This step may please some; it may dis
please others. We have carefully consid-
cred it in all its bearings, and now take
it with all its responsibilities.

A Mistake Corrected.

That bright luminary in the political
armament, known as the Tyrone Star, last
week shed one of its beams in this direc-
tion but whether it was intended as a
beam Of hg ht or a beam in the eye, is
somewhat difficult to determine. Look at
it,
ga. NJ. White, of Cambria county, was NOM
mated for the State Senate, six years ago :;
John Cresswell, the Democratic candidate, was
elected, and the result is attributable to the
detection of Cambria county. Three years ago,
A. G. Mullin, of Cambria county was the
candidate; Cambria county defeated him, and
Reelected John CressweH
Blair county did not defeat either White or Null
lin. Blair county was kinder to Cambria own
sons than she was herself"
Now it is quite true, that six years ago
A. NJ. White was nominated for the SEN
ate; and it is equally true that he was de-
feated. But it is not quite so clear that
the result was wholly attributable to this
county, as the Star would seem to insinu-
ate. Did not Blair county take part in
that memorable contest? If our recollec-
| ton serves us, Blair furnished "Tem-
peIduCe cduulUdCG "A most excellent man
by the way, and one who took many more
votes from White than from Cresswell.-
We may be wrong in this impression, but
if so, the Star will set us right.
But we are told that Cambria defeated
Mullin, and that Blair did not. Now,
Mullins defeat was a matter with the en-
tire district, and not with any particular
county. 1t would have required him to
run several hundred votes ahead of the
State Ticket to have secured his election
at that time. But, while Blair county
did not defeat Mullin, it is quite evident
that she did not do her duty towards cleo
ting him. The following exhibits the
votes of Blair and Cambria counties, in
1856, for the Union candidates on the
State, Congressional and Senatorial tick

The emigration has been very large. 1t
must have amounted to at least hundred
thousand l have stood upon hill top and
counted fifty teams in sight at one time, in a
distance not exceeding FIVE miles. There was
an average of about FIVE men to one team, and
all the time different roads we're lined for hun
dreds of miles. At the same rate nine tenths
of that vast emigration have, or now are on
their return. Then those sharpers have an
other lick at them. They go out and meet
them, perhaps fifty miles of, with reports that
there are so many thousands returned to all
the towns along the river-that their oxen,
wagons and provisions are not worth anything
consequently the disheartened emigrants sell
their property for mere song. have seen

for $50; Bacon 5ac 7s ID, Flour $3.50 % cwt:
