The Ebensburg Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1865-1871, 1865-06-29

aud that we regard his assassination as but
a elimination of the spirit of treason and dis
unionism-as one and the same spirit that
battered down the walls of Fort Sumter and
trampIed the American Flag in the dust IN
the streets of Chareston-as one and the
same spirit shat starved to death upwards Of
sixty thousand of our brave soldiers in the
prson-pens of the South-as and the
same spirit that tutchered our |country's
defenders" in cold blood ut Fort Pillow after
their surrender as prisoners of war--as one
and the same spirit that Cast in Cambria
county last fall over 500 OF majority against
the Constitutional Amendment allowing our
brave soldiers the right to vote.
Resolved That in Andrew Johnston, Presi-
dent of the United States, we have n strong
and uncompromsing Union man, pure pa
riot, and able statesman, who will live
enshrined in the hearts of he American peo-
pie for ages after all recollection of the cop
perhead House of Representatives of 1862
(Which refused by strict party vote to grant
the use of the Hall to the patriot of Tennes-
see, that he might express to our people his
sentinents) shall have been forgotten.
Resolved, That in Governor Curtin we reg
ognize faithful and energetic officer, tried
and true friend of his country and her noble
defenders. His administration of State af-
fairs meets our most cordial appreciation.
Reso9ved, That the thanks of this ConVen-
ton are especially due our brave soldiers,
who patriotically responded to the call of the
Governm ent and periled their lives in defense
of their country, in yindication of the honor
of the Stars and Stripes and the Union or
ganization of Cambria county, appreeiatihg
| their valor and patriotism, pledges itself to
do Justice to the living and ever bear in
grateful remembrance the memory OF the
dead.
ResoEUed, That the heavy debt incurred by
our Government in putting down rebellion
can and Will be paid by a patriotic people,
who feel that the value of our institutions
cannot be estimated in dollars and cents
Whilst a large portion of the taxes to pay the
interest and principal of the public debt must
of necessity be borne by the manufacturing
| interests of the country, expediency as well
as justice dema nds that those interests should
be protected by sound and sufficient Pro-
tective Tariff; and in our Congressman elect,
Hon. A q Barker, we feel confident that we
have a Representative who viii ably and
fai thfully represent the interests OF the 18th
District.
ResolUed, That IN unanimously presenting n
citizen of Cambria county tor nomipation for
State Senator, and in urgently insisting upon
his nomination by the Senatorial Conference,
we feel that we are asking but eyen-handed
Justice from the other counties composing
the Senatorial District. For more than half
a century Cambria has been one of the or
ganized counties OF the State, and during all
that time none of her many worthy citizens
has been permitted to occupy seat in the
Senate Chamber We think that the time
| has certainly come when her just claims
should be fayorably regarded.
Which were adopted.
The following County Committee was
selected for the ensuing year:
