O, no, Nj "Anthropon, you are only
damaging Michael M'Colgan, Esq, and
other Democrats, by dating your radical
document at Wilmore. He and his friends
do not sympathise with you, and can only
See in this an opening to let the radicals
into power.
Already they are striving to aInalga-
mate ticket at Johnsto wn, to be called
a ''New County Ticket" or any ether
name that will damage the Democracy.
No objection is made to any of the
candidates, as to qualifications. They
have all been nominated precisely in ac-
cordance with the usages of the Demo-
cratic party, as pursued for the last thirty
years in Cambria county. Whenever the
Democratic masses desire it this system
will be changed-until then Democratic
nominations, when fairly made, viii be
successful, as they always have been in
the past and woe TO the Democrat who
seeks, by dividing the serried columns OF
his party, to place radicalism in power
in Cambria county.

s.analI, but Charac.erissic.


We think ii is justifiable, says the Pitts
burgh Post, to charge that the attempt of
some Radical editors to traduce the char
acter of Judge Sharswood, and to raise
up personal prejudice among the people
is unworthy of honorable men, We have
no right to- expect anything else, for the
game has been invariably pursued against
every democratic candidate, no matter
how virtuous or upright. But we have a
right to protest agains: i, and to give it
its right name.
We are aware that it is unreasonable
to look for twenty-inch she'll tc proceed
out of the mouth of four-inch piece.
Things must work, of course. according
to their calibre. The idea designed to
be conveyed by these editors. to the popu-
lar mind, is something deemed by them
very prejudicial to the character of Judge
Sharswood. They would teach that Judge
Sharswood is in favor of something that
will injure the people; whereas it is i'm
possible for a fair man, like him, to enter
tain or sanction any such thing. These
editors know better. They know that he
Is not the sort of man they are endeavor-
ing by ingenious, but sophisticsl represen-
tations to make him appear. They cite
legal opinion given by him several years
ago in the performance of his professional
duties as proof that ne would do something
that would injure his fellow citizens
This is not only unjust, but it is false.
The sum and Substance of judge
Sharswood's opininon referred to, in com
mon sense language is, that men should
fairly abide by fair contracts and that if
a man makes bargain TO pay for house
or horse in gold, he ought to pay it in
gold, or its equivalent. And this is precise
ly the sort of justice that ought 10 prevail
between man and man. We would be
loath to believe that the Republican candi-
date, Judge Williams, would advocate or
sustain contrary doctrine
Go on Radicals you think the people
are SO easily gulled. We think you will
find out pretty soon that you have made
slight mistake, Being small, it is, of
course, Of no great consequence. You
can take your time to correct ii.

The Democratic Convention met on the

corruption. Every candidate was fai,ly
nominated. 1t is not pretended to be de.

the Jefiersonian test-all ''honcst and ca

with the large Towaships-Carroll, Clear

candidate for Treasurer, and their dele
gates were divided. So were the Ebens-
burg delegates, one voting for Cox, one
for Kinkead, and two for M'Colgan.
More than this, the candidates were all
nominated by the country districts, and if
they are satisfied, radicals in Johnstown
or Wilmore need not complain Our
tickets are never nominated with a view
to the wishes of the radicals. A Demo-
crat who would have objected to Mr..
EPCreight, as nominee, that he lived
in Johnstown, or to Mr.. M'Colgan that
he lived in Wilmore, or to Judge Kinkead
that he lived in Ebensburg, might think
himself a good Democrat, but we fail ''to

Mrs. SURRATT.- the EUsniaq
bulletin admits there is great doubt as to
the guilt of the unfortunate woman who
was murdered at Washington two years
ago, and whose doom was then by lovaI
folks thought a just one. Even the Bal-
3etaa is shocked at the story which is just
now put in circulation that David Hun
ter's bloody tribunal formally recommend
ed to the President to commute Mrs
Surratt's punishment, and that their
recommendation was suppressed and with
held from Mr.. johnson. He never saw
II or heard of it. Who suppressed it
Who withheld it These questions must
be answered. The Military Commission
was q devise Of the War Department.
Stanton and Holt contrived it. Their
Judgment and, Of course, their recommen-
dati0n went to the War Department.
The War Department must know all
about it. Let it speak. One other wit
ness there was, but his lips are sealed.
The ooze of the bottom of the Hudson
covers him. This was Stewards friend
Preston King. He it was, who, in the
dark interval between Mrs. Surratts SEN
tencc and execution, kept guard at the
White House. He repealed the weeping
daughter He denied all access to the
Executive. And the day of doom came,
and the bolt was drawn and the manaeled
woman fell "six feet," and died with a
broken neck or congested brain; and.a few
weeks later, the man who barred the
gates of mercy, threw himself off a Jersey
City ferry boat, and, with loaded pockets
and a conscience burdened, sank to the
bottom of the river. But Holt and Stan
ton still live TO tell what became Of the
recommendation TO mercy !--Fha Age.

Those supernumerary members, which

manifest slight motion when the chicken
moves, but do not assist in walking they

BRoTHERLINE AND JUREEs.

The editor of the ''Haclical and Wing"
IS funny old cuss. He wants to know
Il 1t requires more than twelve to consti-
tute jury in Cambria county? Ger
tainly, the kind of juries that he has had
most business before-the Grand Jury
consists of twice that number. It didn't
require any traverse jury during the war,
as Military Commissions did the business.
but IN Cambria county a traverse Jury
has always consisted of twelve Mr.. b.
casks for information" thing he very
much needs-and we have given it to him.
BY the way, since our friend has, in
addition to the b. B., been dubbed r. b,
or Register in Bankruptcy, he has taken
new name, to please the appointing power,
and put ''RadicaI' as the first name to
his paper.
Now the old name of Wing, which at
one time we sported in common with
John, represented conservative organi-
zation, and John finds this win no longer
do; and as fond as he is of riding two
horses at the same time, even when they
travel in opposite directions, he ought, for
shame, to drop the 'SWhig'' when he
assumes the Radical" as the one is pre-
cisely contradiction of the other. A
white blachbird would be just as appro-
pirate as Radical Wing.
Indeed, in his local column John drops
the Whig and goes the Radical eleanor
rather dirty-and promises ''several sup
Elementary IVAigs during the campaign. 4"
But it's no use reasoning with the Regis
ter in Bankruptcy. We can't convince
him, and he can't be got under conviction,
unless 'fby twelve,''
