FOR GOVERNOR,
HENRY D. FOSTER,
OF WESTMORELAND COUNTY

g0n Wednesday Of last week the
Unconstitutional Union Convention" met in
Baltimore, ex Governor Washington Hunt of
New York was appointed President. Hon.
John j. Crittenden, Les lie Coombs, Hon.
Joseph r. Ingersoll, Hon. Alex H. II. Stu
art, and other prominent statesman an6 poli-
,icians participated in the proceedings. Hon.
John Bell of Tennessee was placed in noni-
nation for President, and Hon. Edward Ev-
erett Of Massachusetts, for Vice President.
This. candor compels Us TO say. is a strong
ticket, and will be popular in many of the
Southern States. The platform is like the
additional planks adopted at Charleston, rath-
er non commitd-that is, they are calculz-
ted to please everybody. The protection of
she linton aud constitution is declared to be the
great object which the party has and always
will have in view. Whether the movement
is al attenpt to revive the Know Nothing
party We cannot say. There is nothing ir
the platform to show that it is.

S The Cincinnati Enquirer says this
is not the first time the Southern Secession
lists and Disuniouists have bolted the Demo
cratic organization. In 1882, under the
name of Nuliifers, they rallied against the
glorious patriot and hero of New Orleans.
They threw South Carolina against him, but
their action had no other effect than to in
crease his majority in the nation. In 1886,
they opposed Martin Van Buren, and carried
against three Southern Democratic States.
He was elected nevertheless, by triumphant
majority. In 1913 the same William l.
Tancey, who is now SO CONSPICUOUS in the
councils Of the Disunionists at Charleston
bolted the nomination of General Lewis Cass,
with all his faction. They did not. succeed,
however, in carrying even Alabama. Gen.
Cass, upon the popular sovereignty platform
Of his Michigan letter, defeated the Oisun-
ionists in both Alabama aud Mississippi. We
have no idea that the DisunIonists are as
strong in either of those States now as they
were then. In 1852, the Disunionists of the
Yancey school, organized angther bolt. They
were profoundly indignant because the Dem
ocratic National Convention at Baltimore
which nominated Franklin Pierce and Viii
liam Il. King. for President and Vice Presi
dent, would not denounce and rcpudiete the
compromise measures of 1850, instead oil
which that Convention cordially endorfe ed
them. They were for going straight out o
the Union. They nominated boiling ticket
-Throup, of Georgia. for President, anC
Quitman. Of Mississippi, for Vice President
The movement appeared to be formidable
but by the time of the election it amounted
to nothing. 1t is no new thing for the FIRE
eating Dissunionists to oppose the NatioDa
organization. They have repeatedly done i
in the last thirty years, but have never nae
with any success The solid and substantial
men Of the South are against them. The,
are but foam upon the Southern politics

Mysterious Disappearance. Daniel L
Jones well known citizen of Cambria town
ship, has disappeared from this community
under the following circumstances:-On
Tuesday OF last week he was in Ebensbarg,
aud left ia the Jefferson Hack badly inebria-
ted. He remained at the Walton" or
Halfway House" all night. and in the NOR
ming went to Jefferson. He returned to the
"Walton House" the same morning; shortly
afterwards, his wife who had been alarmed by
his long absence, came TO the hotel and re-
quested him to 60 home with her. He went
with her until they arrived at road leading
to the residence of son-in-law. She told
him she would call and see their daughter,
and he promised TO 60 home. He was next
seen a short distance above the hotel of Alloy
sius Martz. He there eonversed with sever
al boys fer some ime, and then left, remark
ing that he would probably be back soon;
since then he has not been seen. He was
not badly intoxicated at the time, and we
cannot learn that he had any notion of COM
m1ttiDg suicide. The woods in the neigh
borhood when be was last seen have been
carefully searched, but without success. If
nos dead he has evidently left for parts un-
known, for the purpose of mortyfying his
wife and alarming the community

Betting on the E7ectton.-The foolish prac-
tice of betting On the elections was indulged
10 TO considerable extent at the recent cleo
ton in Philadelphia. a large @mount was
staked on the result; some men betting all
they could raise; others wagered their real
estate. and an individual in the upper part of
the city bet his horse and cart, with which
he supported his family. The winner. how
ever, did not get them, for, upon the wife of
the looser hearing of it, she went to the sta
bic where they were deposited, harnessed the
horse in the cart and drove him home. 1t
has been estimated that at least 4 hundred
thousand dollars were staked on the mayor
ality-the confidence of each party in the re-
salt mainly contributing to it.-,Ledger.

E9 A large number of western editors
have had "a high old time" recently, in the

"Old Buck gave them very kind reception,
and as is customary on such occasions, ad-
dressed them briefly. In the course of his

This is not palace, TO be sure, as you

pies it, is only the chief servant OF the peo-

but the people. Applause. The duties OF
the President are hard, and L shall soon re-
tire from them; and if the new President
