Total Electoral Vote, 303
1t will require l52 votes to elect; and
admitting all the free States to be carried
for Lincoln and Hamlin, they will be cleo
ted, and have 81 votes to spare. On the
other hand, suppose all the sIaUe States to
be carried for the Loco-Foco nominees :;
they will thus have 120 votes in the Flee
toral College. In addition to these they
claim the votes Of California and Oregon,
which, if their claim be well founded,
would give them 127-only wanting %
more to elect their nominees Thus if the
votes Of Pennsylvania could be added to
this number, Loco-Focoism would again
be successful--and it would be success
full, too, if it could but carry New York
in addition to the slave States
1t is quite apparent that Loco Focoi5m
will use the most desperate efforts to carry
New York and Penusylvania-these two
States will indeed be the battle-ground of
the campaign. If we lose either, assu-
ming our figures to be truthful, we lose
our President. 1t belOoves every men,
ber of our Party, therefore, to do his part
in the great contest now opening. New
York, we have every reason to believe,
will be safe in the hands Of her Filmores
and her Sewards-let US see to it that
Pennsylvania be also safe. In 1856, the
Old Keystone was the means of electing
James Buchanan. She 1isgraced herself
by elevating to the Presidency ''au old
public functionary' who has disgraced the
office \ capital opportunity is now pre-
sented to Pennsylvania to wipe out her
disgrace. Let her sons of the Opposition
then but do their duty, and-it matters
not what Loco-Focoism may do-in Octo-
Der next, the gallant Andy Curtin will
be elected by about 10000 majority -
And this will be presager of the major
ity which the Old Keystone will give, one
month later, to Lincoln and Hamlin.

Baltimore correspondence.

To TIE EDTOR OF THE ALLEGHANIAN =
Since my last communication, with the eI-
ceptiOn of the visit of the japanese Embassy,
our city has been without much excitement.
On that occasion, it appeared as if rybody
and all his friends had turned out to see the
sights. The streets through which the pro-
cession passed was crowded with masses of
human beings, and the windows and house
tops were also flied. The distinguished Wis
itors were received by the city auth critics in
the large hall of the Maryland Institute, and
after passing through number of streets,
were conveyed 10 the GiIInor House, where
dinner was served in very handsome style.
After dinner there was exhibition of the
Steam Fire Department, with which they were
much pleased, as it the first opportunity
they have had of seeing its operation. At
night there was a gcand exhibition of Fire
WorkS, which concluded the evenings enter
tainmeut. The arrangements were satisfacto-
rily carried out 10y the Committee. and moth
ing unpleasant occurred to mar the reception.
The Delegates to the Adjourned Charleston
Convention, to be held in this city tomorrow,
have nearly all arrived, or are in Washington,
preparatory to the grand struggle, or stTangie.
The question that greets you on every side is
Who is to be the nominee? and echo an
swers, Who? The Convention will sit in the
Front St. TheateT, which has been renovated
and improved to adapt it to their convenience
No one will be admitted to the floor but dele
galleries by tickets. Several of the delega-
tions have full bands of music with them, and
last evening the citizens in Monument Square
in the vicinity of BarnUm'S Hotel and the
GilmOr House, were enliyened by the most
delightful strains, proceeding alternately from
the bands stationed on the yerandahs of the
two hotels. After the music an improptu
meeting was held, and addresses were deliv-
cred by several gentlemen of ability, which
listened to attcntively by large con-
course of persons. Our hotels are all full
but strangers in the city can be accommoda-
ted with all they want to supply the inner or
outer Man, as well a place to lay their
heads.
The several bands have united and will
give grand Sacred Concert this evening, in
Monument Square at o'clock. The Key
stone Club from Philadelphia, will arrive here
Tomorrow morning. The New York Delcga-
tion will also have a large number. They all
have accommodations engaged at the different
hotels. In my next, hope to be able to give
you the names of the candidates.

For Congress: Ferdinand New
80 kirk.

| To tie Editor of Tie 4NeghaaiGn: -
The time s.isn't so very far off, when the
| peoples party of this district must select a
| candidate for Congress. Blair, Huntingdon
| and Somerset have each been represented by
| man of their own therefore, we think IN All
| justice land we may add, equity Cambria Is
entitled to be represented by man OF heT
own and more especially does the propri-
ETY. of this manifest itself, since the next cleo
ton will be the last to be held under the
present Congressional apportionment. Under
all probability, the district viii be so changed
rs to favor the election of some British Free
| Trade Democrat. Should Cambria be repre-
sented by a of that stripe, surely no good
can come out of Nazareth.
The question now arises, Who shall be our
standard-beare III the approaching campaign
This we look upon as tie question. Compared
with it, all other questiOns-the goose ques-
ton included-dwindIe down into compare
tive insignihcancc. He should be a man not
identified with either of the political factions
existing in our party in this county, ifor,
painful rs it may seem, there are such fac
tions,) but a man isolated upon an inaceessi-
bic pnnaclc--haying a clean record and a
clean facc--and with nothing less in view
than the extreme tip of his nasal organ, and
the union, harmony and prosperity of the
party upon which depend the honor and char
acter of our Cove, nment. He should also
possess the qualifications necessary to fulfil
the duties of the office with honor and credit,
qualifications which people think
they have when they haven't.
The citizens of Summerhill land portion
of Croyle and Rchland) are almost unanimous
in declaring FERDINAND NEWkIRK, ESQ, of
Wimore Borough, to be the man of their
choice. With regard to his fitness for the
office, there cannot be a doubt in the mind Of
any man rot blinded by prejudice or malice.
Add to all this the fact that he has cOuntc-
nance quite prominent as any individual
named, or likely to be named, in connection
with the Office. Whether be Whig by
early training or not or whether, since the
dissolution of that party, he has been an ac-
tive or passive member Of the American Re
publican organization or not, makes no par
ticular difference he is the for the times
any how. We hope therefore that our County
Convention when it meets Will at least give
him show. WILMORE.

I'm a Tight Place.

In A TIGHT PLAcE.-Captain George Nelson
Smith, who was appointed as "a Delegate to
the Democratic National Convention at Read
ing, is in a tight place. Smith has in the
paper published by him (the Echo) the name
OF John breckenridge hoiSted as a suitable
candidate for the Presidency but voted in the
Charleston Convention for Douglas The
buchanan men are, on account of his conduct
III this respect, highly eXasperated and hcaD
upon him all kind of denunciations Amonn
the Douglas men Smith is not admired in

ever adhered blindly to the present corrupt
Admins tI>fiOn, which is a desperate enemy
to Douglas. Smith has, as the Democratic
Buchanan Organ emphaticaIly remarks (Dezz-
ocrat j SentineO often positively declared pre-
vlous TO the meeting of the Charleston Con-
vention, that he would not vote for DougIas

name OF breckenridge from the head of the

district are for Douglas. and it is the dutv of
Mr. Smith to labor for his nomination.
1t is here to be remarked that s. is a prom
lneut candidate foI Legislature, which fact
illustrates his dubious position to some ex
tent. The next Legislature Will elect a Uni

raordlnary chances will present themselves

The Prospect.

The nominations of Abraham Lincoln
and Hannibal Hamlin have, throug hout
all the free States, been received with a
welcome and response which come di-
rectly from the hearts of the people
Never did the political heavens look more
auspicious; never was the prospect of
victory more bright and cheering to the
opponents of Loco-Focoism. But while
such is the fact, we must not wholly rely
for success upon the purity of our princi-
pies, and the justice Of our cause-we
must be active, watchful, visilant-we
must work. Distracted and divided as
our opponents may be, it is not to be ex-
pected that they will permit us to take
judgment against them by default 1t is
not, and never was, their way of doing
business. The power which they have
sTayed for the last eight years, they are
not likely to yield without desperate eff
fort to retain it. Their appetite for pub
lie plunder is as keen as ever, and well do
shey know that, if our party triumph this
fall, their favorite occupation will be gone.
Influenced by such considerations, and
Witnessing the union and harmony now
prevailing in our ranks, they will strive
hard to rally their shattered forces for the
great battle in November.
A great deal viii, of course, depend
upon the antioD of the Baltimora Convop
tion. If it should terminate as did that
at Charleston-break up in a row, and
make 10 nominations-we will achieve a
triumph without the enjoyment of even
a tolerable fight. But, however this may
be, we have ne right to expect it. The
secret Of the past success Of Loco-F Focoism

INDIANA CLAY PIKE.-This important
thoroughfare, we are sorry to say, is at
present in dilapidated and almost i'm
passible condition. Scarcely bridge on
the road is safe, from lack of a single
plank perhaps and in some cases the
entire superstructure is almost worn out.
AS we understand that the road is now in
the hands of the courts, and as no one has
control over it, we think it would be moth
ing more than right to throw it over to
the respective townships through which
it passes, and have something done in the
premises right speedily.

EorettO borough.

This village, the oldest in the county,
was founded by Rev. D. A Gallitzin, as
the centre of his Catholic colony, about
the year 1910, and continued to be the
seat of the labors of this pious and eminent
divine up to the period of his death. 1t
is pleasantly situated on the springs Of
Clearfeld creek and consists mainly Of two
streets running nearly north and south
for the distance Of half mile. Thesetwo
streets are lined on either side with neat
and comfortable dwellings, and the whole
village is model of cleanliness and neat
ness.
In 1850, Loretto contained population
Of 1913, of whom 93 were white males, 90
white females, and l colored female. At
the same time, the number of dwelling
houses were 50, and the number of fami-
lies, 40. Of this number there were:

Loretto is an exclusively Catholic vii
lage, not single Protestant residing with
in its limits. The stranger is struck with
the ar Of solemn stiffness that reigns around
him broken only by the hourly chime Of
the convent bell, or the deep tolling Of the
| church bell calling the devotees to main
tins and vespers; and when, in addition
to this, he sees not unfrequently, in the
street, the yelled figure of sister of Mer-
cy, on some errand Of charity, or some
labor of love, he feels that he is surround
! ed by the institutions and members Of the
Roman Catholic Church
Loretto is not fortunately located for
business, not having the advantage Of any
otthe thoroughtares for the purpose oftrade
Still she has recently put forth her ener-
gies IL such a manner as must make her
the centre of considerable business. And
when the plank road from Loretto to Lau-
rel swamp, and that from Loretto to Car
rolltown shall have been finished, she will
become formidable rival to her sister vii
lagos.
The name, Loretto, was bestowed upon
the village by Rev. Gallitzin from a town
Of the same name in the marquisate of
Ancona, in Italy. Tradition AYERS that
the cathedral of this town contains the
Casa Santa or Holy house in which the
Virgin Mary lived at Nazareth
And here while speaking of Loretto. it
may not be considered inappropriate to
say a few words of her illustrious foun-
der
Demetrius Augustine de Gallitzin was
born at the Hague in Holland on the 22d
December, l770. His father, prince de
Gallitzin was at that time Russian Ambas-
sador to the Court of Holland OF course
his titles and his fortunes were prince
ly.
All these, however, he abjured, emisra
ted to the United States, and not long af
ter, in 1879, he sought the bleak and bar
rem summit of the Alleghanies, and estab-
llshed himself as missionary in the cause
OF Jesus Christ. A rude log cabin sufH-
ced for the wants Of him whose youth had
been spent in the halls of kings and prin-
ces; and here he labored without anv re-
taxation of his energies, until the period
OF his death, which occurred on the 9th
May, 1910, The hardships and privations
OF this pastor during this long period are
almost incredible. As Missionary nriest
Cthe only one then in Western Penpsvlvo-
ma, except Mr.. Brsuers, at Youngstown
his life was continued endurance of ev-
cry hardship. In the language of one of
his eulogists, 'his bed was The bare floor
his pillow the saddle of his horse. and
mosttorbidding fare constituted his repast ,,
Ills fare was often some black bread and
