course they never came together--neithel
would the Douglas and Breckenridge
wings. The Democratic party, like a pot
ter s vessel, was broken never to be re-uni

Of Free and Slave Labor, and said that il

lean in 1856, and proceeded at length tc
assign the reasons which now actuated
him IN supporting Lincoln. One of these
reasons was embraced In contemplation
of the disastrous results which would flow
from failure Of the people to elect a
President. He alleged that the sole OBJ
ject Of the factions opposed to Lincoln S
election was to throw the election of a
President INTO the House Of Representa-
tives, and instanced the bargain and sale
in New York and New jersey as proof of
the charge. Touching upon State poll
tics, the Speaker said that the leaders of
the Bell and Everett party were determi-
ned to make Foster Governor, that by the
defeat Of Curtin the prestige of success in
October would be lost to the Peoples par
ty in November. Nevertheless, he had
no doubt Of Curtin's election by at least
10000 majority. The speaker, recurring
to the Presidential issue, said that the
election of Abraham Lincoln would still
the cry Of Disunion and restore the gov
ernment to the purity and honesty which
characterized its administration in the
early days of the Republic. He conclu-
ded with an eloquent appeal in behalf Of
the County Ticket, and upon resuming
his seat WAS loudly cheered.
Repeated calls were now made for Col.
HALL, our popular State Senator, but ow-
ing to the lateness Of the hour (it was now
after Il clock }, the Col. declined to make
any extended remarks.
On motion of A. \. Barker, it was re-
solved that when the meeting adjourns it
adjourn to meet in Torchlight Process
sion in front of the Court House. On
motion of J. II. Campbell, Esq, the fol-
lowing gentlemen were appointed officers
of the Procession Marshal, A y Barker,
Assistant Marshals, VIM ID. Dain, John
H. Evans, John p Scott Saml s. Paul,
Hugh Jones, B. F. Slick. The meeting
then adjourned to the front of the Court
House, with cheers.
The Procession then formed, was in all
respects the most imposing demonstration
in this county since 1S44-
The number Of persons who fell into line
was not less than five hundred, and prob
ably exceeded it. The Procession was
headed by the Wilmore martial band
one Of the best in the State-which was
by the Ebensburg Lincoln and
llamlin Club, bearing from forty to fifty
torches and transparencies-the latter very
gotten up and inscribed with /
most appropriate notices and devices /
After marching through the principal |
streets, the Procession halted in front of .
he Mountain House, where three deafen- /
ng cheers were given for Lincoln, Ham /
in, Curtin and the County Ticket Three
more were then given for Col LOUIS ". /
HALL, at the conclusion of which the .

n few moments the Col. made his ap
and was greeted with the most
enthusiastic cheers. After thanking his
rlcnds for the honor which had been done
nm, he said that he would not tire their
'atlence with aspeech. They had already
istened to three good speeches. Notwith-
landing this declaimer, however, the Col
Proceeded to deliver of the best fifteen
minutes speeches we ever IisteAed to
he conclusion of which was an earnest an
eal to his party friends in Cambria coun-
y to unite as one man in support of their
'ounty Ticket. The Col's speech was at
entively listened to, and the frequent out
ursts of applause with which its salient
olnts were received showed that he was
taVorlte with the Peoples party of little {
ambria.
After the retirement of Col. Hall, three
ouslng cheers were given for "Honest
Id Abe, when the vast assemblage qui-
