Tariff Bill, is proof strong as holy writ,
that, notwithstanding the clamor and
boasting of some Of its members, the Loco-
Foco party is IN taUor Of British Free
Trade, and opposed to protecting the In
dustrial Interests of our country.
Resolved, That we are highly in favor
of the construction of a Railroad TO the
Pacific by the general government, If the
same can be accomplished without incur
ring Il serious national debt, and without
encouraging corruption and speculation
| detrimental to our country.
Resolccd, That it would be right and
proper, and attended with good results, for
the General Government to donate a
homestead to every actual settler upon the
public domain.
ResoEced, That We hail with extreme
pleasure, Abraham Lincoln and Hannibat
Hamin, as the nominees Of our Party for
President and Vice President of the United
States Fifty do they represent the vital
issues involved in the coming struggle
In 'Honest Old Abe we recognize a man
whose life, public as well as private, Is
without spot or blemish His efforts have
been untiring in behalf Of Free Labor; and
he has ever been the able and eloquent
advocate Of those true principles Of govern
ment which our Party reveres and incul-
Gates. When placed in the Presidential
chair-which is as certain as that the sun
shines in the heavens-hc Will restore TO
our glorious Republic that tranquility, and
prosperity, and honor, Of which the social
ed Democracy have robbed IT. And the
life and public career Of Hannibal Uamliu
| afford an ample guaranty that he VIII do
his part in the great work OF Reform
which is to be accomplished.
Res0Iced, That in Col. Andrew Gregg
Curtin, our nominee for Governor, we
have a man, who, IN virtue OF his enlarged
experience in public affairs, his high
moral character, and his firm adherence
to the Right, is emincntly and Justly
qualified and entitled to I'LL the guberna-
torial chair Of this great Commonwealth.
His long and proved devotion to the
protection Of American Industry his
steady opposition to the extension Of
| Slavery; and his unwaveriug fidelity 10
the interests Of our State, have endeared
him to the people and made his name
| tower of strength We cordially recon-
mend him to the voters of Cambria Coun-
ty, feeling well assured they will do their
part in achieving the glorious victory
which awaits him in October.
Res0locd, That III Hon. Samuel s. Blair,
our member Of Congress, we recognize
a man and a representative Of whom we
have reason 10 be proud. His laborS in
behalf Of Protection and in favor Of a
Pacific Railway, have clearly demonstra-
ted that he Is emphatically the man to
guard the interests of this great Iron
District. His record and career in Con
gress furnish the best evidence that he
was and is worthy the confidence repos-
ed IN him two years ago, as atlested by
the tremendous majority he received at
| the polls. We present him to-day as the
unanimous choice Of the Peoples Party
Of Cambria County; and we ask his re-
nomination at the hands Of the District

and good men, and faithful and tried
mem bers of our Party, buc they also pos
sess those qualifications for their respective
offices which should bring to them a firm
and an unwavering, and cordial support
And on motion, the Convention ad-
jOurned sine die
