The Ebensburg Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1865-1871, 1866-09-06


Gratis, we withdraw from controversy in
augurated by couple of weeks ago. 1t
was our intention, in this weeks issue to give
the proprietors of The AUeghdnian the benefit
of the. largest portion of our paper. We have
the material on hand but not wishing to
make enemies of friends, and friends of enc
mics, we refrain from giving publicity 60 facts.
We will now stand the defensive We
made the attack, or at least it was considered
an attack by them. Two or three small local
notices aroused their anger, and they pitched
into US to an alarming extent. Ir conclusion
we would say that it is not through fear that
we relinquish the subject We are capable
OF taking our own part without the assistance
of friends. We write our own editorials,
collect our own locals, and ask no man to
assist us. Although any communication of
political character will be thankfully
ceived by US at the present time. If the con-
troversy IS resumed it will have to be COM
menced by them. AS we stated before, we
now stand on the defensive, and await the
re-opening of the ''ball." Although we would
have willingly continued the subject, if by so
doing we could please all our readers and
further the interests of the party, upon which
we depend on for support and patronage. -
Dem. & Sent Of last sceek.
The Democrat d; Sentinel acts wisely in
thus Withdrawing from the contest inaug-
never engages IN another abusive personal
contest until ice give it just occasion, it
will wait till the crack of doom 1t is
hardly in place for the D. DC s. to talk of
not attacking until attacked, when there
were no signs Of fight before it gave the
occasion. But of this, no matter. Per
sonal contests are at any time to be dep
recated. They can seldom interest the
public. During the FIVE years we have
edited paper, we have never begun one,
and we never will. If the editor of the
Democrat Dc Sentinel should keep that
"matter" on hand for only year, he will
then burn it sooner than give it publica-
ton. BY that time, his faith in mere
personalities will have sunk below zero.
ABOUT GEN GEARY AND THE CAM
BRIA SOLDIERs.-Tke Hollidaysburg
Register has resurrected the following
paragraph concerning our candidate for
Governor from the Hollidaysburg Stand,
ard of December %, 1876:
''The services of the american Highland
ers' Capt John W. Geary) and the Cambria
Guards have been accepted, ana they are to
be in Pittsburg on the 5th ofJanuary. These
hardy Allegheny Mountain bows will now
have chance to distinguish themselves and
they will most assuredly do it, should oppor-
tunity offer. The former company has now
on its muster roll one hundred men, of whom
a large number are from Blair county
''In obeying the call Of his country and
marching to her defence, Capt. Geary makes
such sacrifices rs few men would make. He
leaves his store at the Summit. which is now
doing tlourishing business, and all his af-
fairs unsettled, to battle for his country,
honor and glory. Il is understood that the
'HIghlanders' Will offer him as n candidate
for Lieutenant Colonel, and if military skill
sUaylty of manners, q frank open hearted
honesty are recommendations, we think he
viii stand good chance"
The Standard Is and always was a
Democratic paper, and its editor of twenty
years ago is its editor of to-day Read
in the light OF after events, its recommen-
dation of him who is now our standard
bearer is peculiarly refreshing.
