OF THE
Democratic County Committee.
To the Democracy Of Cambria County:

FELLOW DEMOCRATS Your County
Committee congratulate you upon the re-
suit OF the deliberations of the Convention
held in this place on the 30th ultimo. No
more orderly, dignifed and intelligent
political assemblage ever convened in the
county; its proceedings were character
lied by good sense and unanimity, which
give prestige of the glorious victory that
awaits US at the termination of the ap-
preaching contest. The standard bearers
are emlnently fit for the responsible posi-
tons for which they have, severally, been
nominated and, although gentlemen of
equal worth and capacity who had been
supported by their respective friends were
unsuccessful, the utmost good feeling was
manifested, and all the delegates departed
for their homes determined to give the
ticket nominated their earnest, hearty,
energetic support.
Never was a ticket composed of truer
and better men presented for your suffra-
ges. In CYRUS L. PERsHING, our nomi-
nee for the Legislature, you recognize a
firm, unfiinching Democrat--a moral,
| unassuming gentleman-an intelligent leg
islatOr of vast experience and unsullied
reputation. \ ready and logical debater,
ripe scholar, a pure patriot and an
honest man, he was the trusted and honor
ed leader of our party during the last ses-
/ sion. 1t is fit tribute to his manhood
! and worth. that the Democracy, without
any solicitation on his part, should AGAIN
nominate him for the position which, with
so much ability and such great acceptance,
/ he has for the last three years filled.
| JAMES MYERS, our candidate for Sheriff,
a gentleman well and very favorably
known to the people of our county, is in
every way well qualified for the arduous
and responsible duties of the office. A
native of our county, he has grown with
its growth and strengthened with its
strength. A hard working mechanic, he
is a man of the people, and one whose
integrity has never been questioned, or
whose honor has never been doubted.
EDWARD r. DUNNEGAS has been nomi-
mated for the office Of Commissioner. He
is native of Cleariield township, of
whom the answering Democracy Of that
sterling district are justly proud. lie is
a young man Of marked ability and ex-
cellont business qualifications and habits,
as was well attested by the remarka
bic manner in which he performed The re-
spOnsible duties of the office of County
Auditor When the call WAS made for
nine months troops to fill up the depleted
ranks of the Federal army, he was among
the first to respond. Having left his quiet,
peaceful home with It's charms and en-
dearmcnts, he was unanimously elected
First Lieutenant of Co, f l25th Reg,
Pa. Vols, and soon after, with his COM
pany, participated under the gallant Me
Clellan, i'll the bloody battle of Antietam.
Generous and brave, he returned TO his
mountain home and his peaceful pursuits,
at the expiration Of his term Of enlistment,
esteemed and honored by his companions
in arms. Having a thorough practical
business education and being fully ac-
quainted with the details of the Office, he
is exactly the man for Commissioner.
For Poor House Director, GEORGE
ORRIs, Of Richland township, has been
nominated. The office has become very
responsible one, and no better man TO fill
IT could have been selected Mr.. Orris is
a modest and intelligent farmer, who will
give his attention to the duties of the
Office His nomination was unsolicited
and is Just compliment to worthy
| Democrat.
joins A kfNNEDY, of Carrolltown,
our nominee fer Auditor, is young Demo
Graf OF energy and ability, who will make
an excellent officer.
Such, acknowledgements are the men
who have been chosen as your standard
bearers IN the coming contest, all honest,
all capable. For them we ask your
hearty, earnest, unwayering, united sup
port.
In relation to the private characters of
the gentlemen nominated by the Abolition
convention, we have not one word to say
but they are the representatives of IA
natlcal organization, composed of the fag
ends OF all the isms Of the country, which
are kept together only by the cohesive
power of public plunder." BY voting
for them, you endorse the destructive poll
cy of the present National Administration
by which our country has well nigh been
destroyed an Administration which has
openly, publicly, boastingly, and defiantly
disregarded and violated the Constitution,
which they were sworn to support, it being
the priceless legacy which was bequeathed
by the patriotic heroes and sages Of the
kevolutlon- Under the tyrannical rule
OF the Administration of President Lin
coin the liberties of the people have been
trampled under foot, and their most sacred
inalienaDie rights entirely disregarded.
When he assumed power our country was
peaceful, prosperous and happy-the ad-
miration of the world-the asylum of the
oppressed-the home of liberty. Our
government was at peace with all the
world-our ships sailing DER every sea
and anchored in every port-onr nower
