GOING IT BLIND.-In reading over
the proceedings of the Dem. Co. Commit
fee at their late meeting held in the Court
House, we come across the following par
agraph, which takes the breath away from
US entirely:
RESOLVED, That the Democracy of Cambria
county, hold a ratification meeting at the
Court House, in Ebensburg, on Wednesday,
the 7th of March next, to ratify the uomina-
tion which will be made at the 9th of March
Convention.
There's party discipline for you :
There's blind adherence. to party plat
forms and party leaders, Talk about an
army being an animated machine led and
controlled by single mind-that's moth
ing to the machine called Democracy,
which is led and controlled by single
instinct, and that instinct an uhconquera-
bic hankering after place and power =
''To ratify the nomination tohtch tciH De
made"-mark you. If, now, in the Dem
ocratic Convention, it should be thought
that George w. Cass, Hester Clymer, R.
l.. Johnston, nor any man at present
named for Governor, could defeat our
candidate, but that the Gentleman in
Black who rules in Tophet would be
equal to the undertaking, the latter would
undoubtedly be placed In nomination by
the convention, and our Cambria county
Democracy, by the strict letter of their
resolution, stand pledged to Crafty him,
horns, hoof, cloven tail, and all! And
we know they would do it.
THE PAUL MUNDAY MURDER-SIN-
GULAR CIRCL CLMsTANCE.-The Pittsburg
Commercial relates the following circum-
stance connected with the Paul -Munday
murder: "AlGerman Joshua Robinson,
of the Fourth ward, Allegheny, was called
upon a short time ago by the proper au-
thoritics FROM Ebensburg, Cambria coun-
ty, to take the testimony of woman
living in the First ward, Allegheny city,
who was recently Gin conjunction with
John B. Howser) convicted in Cambria
county for the under of Pollie Paul and
Cassie Munday. She had frequently re-
lated to different persons that she knew
Daniel Buser, and that he attended to
her in Allegheny city as quack doctor
On the day before, the Uery day, and the
day after the murder was committed
Alderman Robinson, on proceeding to the
residence of the woman to take her testi-
nony, was astonished to find that she had
lied just few moments before his arri-
7al-a very singular circumstance. It
will be remembered that a special alloca-
.ur was short time ago granted in the
case of Buser and Howser, on account of
,ome additional evidence which it was
hought could be produced for the defense,
ind it is believed that the evidence of the
woman above referred to was the princi-
pal basis upon which the allocatur was
granted"
