Congress-.

Whatever may be said of the candidate
of the Abolitionists for Congress, they
have done Cambria county but justice.
She has never yet had one of her citizens
in Congress, during the sixty years of her
existence.
We trust the Democratic Conference
will also concede the man to Cambria.
If the Abolitionists with majority of
1000 against them in this County get the
candidate, how much more should tie
Democracy with that majority in their
favor,
But the Lewistown True De,aocyat SAWS
that neither Huntingdon nor Cambria has
presented a candidate. Neither has Blair
nor Mitfiin, say we. The convention in
those Counties has not even been called
yet. Good men in all the Counties have
been spoken of, by their friends, but no
County as such, has yet named her man.
No man should press his claims at this
time, neither should any good Democrat
decline the position on account of the un-
equal contest
Cambria county alone has appointed
her conterees. They are true Democrats,
and 90 unlnstructcd. They were not ap-
pointed with reference to any man, but to
carry out the best interests of the party
They will doubtless present man, not
inferior in capacity Or popularity to those
that may be presented by the other Coun-
ties. They will we doubt not, urge the
claims of Cambria county by all fair and
honorable means; and, we trust, will
" have their claim allowed"
Should the conference, however. think
that some gentleman from another DOR
ton of the district, will be better calcula-
led to insure success; or more able to
Vihdicate Constitutional liberty, than the
cail'iidate they present, our people will
with equal cheerfulness, respond to the
nomination and roll up the usual Cam
bra county majority without regard 70

Eject EEncoiH and the Nation
EkIes

Inc rccupeTatlve power Of this country
are extraordinary, we believe if tkey had
peace and the Union, that the nation
might still survive. Time and energy
and industry might worm through the i'm
mense national debt. The evil effect a.
rising from the infringmcnts on the in
dividual rights of the people, the suspen-
SION of the habeas corpus, the arrests
without trial and without jury, through
length Of time, might be entirely forgot
ten, except as a curious rcmcniscence,
like the blue laws of Connecticut. The
Wlckedness and cruelty Of this admins
tratIon. and their unbounded extravaganza
would be nearly obiterated in another
generation. The malignant legislation
may be swept from TIE statute books
which these abolition invaders of the
constitution have passed for the last three
years Lincoln's proclamations may be
remembered in execration of his memory.
In centuries hence, all that mischief that
abolition has done, may be only matter
OF history Elect Lincoln again and the
nation dies, and with it dies forever any
effort to establish popular government
on the face of the globe. We have no
doubt the abolitionists will try TO elect
MN; but they are sewing the wind to
reap the whirlwind.

Election Returns.

Below you have the election returns in
this County. In another column we have
spoken of them according to our own
opinion. 1t will show you that the peo-
pie are alive to their own interest with
regard to the elections hereafter. No
person told them to vote either for the
amendment or against the amendments.
But 1t Is to be seen in every Democratic
township in the county they voted stimuli
taneously against the amendments, with
out knowing what any portion of the
State was doing on the subject.
They saw that the administration of
Lincoln and Curtin was in for them TO
the death, and that was sufficient for
them to take the alarm-because they
knew that never was the party that went
IN for the country. They knew they
went in for themselves and let the country
60 to the dogs.

WAR Eews.

The Confederates have again crossed
the Potomac. They advanced in two
columns. One body crossed at Hancock.
AverilI tried to prevent them. but was
not able, and ran away, with a loss of
seventy-nine men. The other column
crossed the Potomac at Shepardstown
and captured Hagerstown They ad-
vanced TO the Pennsylvania border. but
did not cross. Gov. Curtin calls ont the
militia for State defense and the State
service. There is nothing doing al Pc
tersburg. Picket firingh has almost ceased
there.
The capture of Atlanta has been a
failure. The greater part of General
Stoneman's division of cavalry was cap
tured on the raid on the railroad at At
lanta. The Federal loss was twenty
seven hundred, killed and captured, with
all the wagon trains Of the expedition.
This is synopsis of the news so far as
we have it. We must have more men
and more money.

Nomination.

The Republican conference, after their
protracted labors, have nominated A. A.
Barker, Esq, of this Borough, for Con-
gress We trust that our County will be
which will shortly take place by the Dem
ocratic side of the question. We would
be much rejoiced TO have the two con-
gress:onal candidates in this county, so
that they could watch each other tho
if the conference decide otherwise, we will
submit as gracefully rs we can. To be
successful, heavy part of the work will
be left for Cambria county to do. Mr..
Barker is strong man and can run well,
to this we can personally bear testimony.
AS to his strength we have seen it tested
by lifting the Sos of the sealer of weights
and measures, and if we reccollect Alright
there vas not 4 man in town stronger
than he. And as to his running, we were
present when he entered himself for the
first prize at one Of our agricultural fairs,
and there were only two came out ahead
of him at the first heat, and we believe
that if the condition had been to run the
best in three, without any rest or rubbing
down, that his chance would have been
good for the first prize. With these pre-
iminary prestiges, he turned his attention
10 II.
getting the nomination from that model
party. We will handle him gently until
his competitor comes into the field, and
then we will scrutinize both their qualifi-
cations for the highest law making power
in the country. He may have qualitica-
tions for that office that we are not aware
! of, and we will patiently await their de-
velopement He may be like our friend
Peter B0rtman, who, few weeks ago,
come into our office, and in the course of
conversation, told US that he had received
an excellent education along the river
/ Rhine, where ne was brought up; we
asked him what became of 1t. lie told
US he had given it to his brother who was
/ going out west and would need it there,
! and as he was to reside in Cambria coun-
! ty, he did not require it. We had not a
word further TO say. So Mr.. Barker
may have left his congressional accom-
I plishments in the State of Maine, with
some friend to whom they would be Of
service, as he would not require Them
here in Cambria county. We will not
treat this matter very seriously at the
present, indeed it is hard for US to realize
It, and we will attend to it in the future.

Election.

In another part of this paper will be
seen the return of the special election Of
this county. This was not considered a
party question in the State, nor did the
State Central Committee nor any Demo
cratic newspaper in the State, urge the
people to vote on either side of the ques-
ton. Partisan Abolition papers advoca-
ted this measure with extraordinary ear
nestness. and endeavored TO make the
vote on 1t test Of loyalty or treason.
The Democratic party began TO suspect
that there was something at the bottom
Of this, beyond their new born zeal for
the soldier. 1t was always the doctrine
of the Democratic party to extend the
privileges OF the elective franchise as far
as possible to the white race twenty-five
years ago a Democratic Legislature Of
Pennsylvania, with Il Democratic Execu-
tive at their head, extended this right of
voting TO soldiers in the service Of the
United States. This right had been ever
since accorded to them by the Democratic
party until Democratic Sheriff had beer
declared elected by the aid of the soldiers
,0te- This same Abolition party attack
cd the constitutionality of the law and
succeeded in getting a decision OF the Su-
preme Court against it, and also in GUST
ing the Sheriff who had got elected by the
soldiers vote. The Abolition party never
before showed any liberality in extending
the right OF suffrage to any man except
lie was black man, on the contrary they
were always for abridglng it. they even
wanted the foreigner to remain twenty
one years here after being naturalized be-
fore voting. They would not if they
could prevent 1t permit the soldiers to vote
now, if they thought they could not use
that vote for their own base partisan pur
pose.
The Democrats Of this County knew,
that that was their object, and were de-
termined so far as this County was con-
ceTncd, the Aholitionists would not die
tate to them what to do. Besides they
did not like to let an Abolition legislature
tinker at the Constitution, it is too sacred
an instrument, to be manipulated by po
luted hands, it is giving that which is
holy unto dogs, and casting pearls before
SWINE They used their utmost edeav-
ors at THIS election, brought in the maim-
ed the halt, the lame and the blind. and
'hey have not very much to boast of.
