l notice in the papers that the little RumT
at Harrisburg had ousted Mr.. Shugart a
Senator from this district. and admitted t.
his seat that tool of John j. Patterson. the
hummer Robinson. Darkness deeper than
that which environed Egypt--dark ness
blacksr than the heart OF old Thad-has
settled down upon our once happy, but now
tax ridden, negro-b bedeviled, dema9ogue-curs-
ed, Constitution-disregard and law Defy
ing country. The great unwashed black
and-tan party is the legitimate child of the
tory party of rs, but it has strayed away
into strange and unaccountab'e paths, and
By corruption and prostitution it has be-
come 50 sick and deceased that death must
soon put an end to its existence In euIp-
'ng down whisky and the negro at one
swallow, the wool has stuck in it's throat
and the whisky has so affected it's head that
the party has gone crazy, and even now it
IS evident that our State and national capi,
tolls arc little better than insane asyIums
Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor
has 1t even entered into the mind of man to
conceive" such an Infamous set Of rumps as
the present Congress contains. As they
hear from the spring elections all over the
country the fat Offices fade from their cock
eyed visions, and they roll back their OPTICS
ike Gtary's dying ctlf-uigger on the brain
strikes IN on them, and it is no wonder that
the ltalers are now no better than lunatics
But next November the people will speak in
thunder tones of condemnation of the tyran-
nical, piundering, thieving policy Of this
buzzard rump faction. The ship of State
will be brought back to its good old D2mo-
cratic moorings, and in place of extraya-
gance, plumber, and negro domination, we
will have low taxes, equal rights, equal priv
ileges, and white mars government.
Our Catholic friends are making extensive

Dear Freenta1-We have been er.ioyipg
Tor the past few days all the gentle atten-
tons Of cid King B0Tcas, and our streets and
fields wear the appearance of mid-winter.
owing to the fckle conduct of the weather
clerk, who but day or two since held ont
the pleasing assurance that winter bad aban-
doned the soft embrace Of Spring Winds,
storms and ternpests. however, do not ap-
pear to damPen the religious ardor of our
creditabc congregation of ST. Benedict. and
hence the strict rules of Lent are reigiously
and faithfully observed by pastor and people

Next Sunday CASTER will be grand
day at St. Benelict's church, and we advise
any person wishing to assist at the obser-
vances of the Feast of Easter, in most
worthy and becoming manner, to visit Car
rolltown. The brass band has been regu-
larry practising, and no doubt, as is its
wont, VIII lend its assistance during the
attractive ceremonies Of the day, and cheer
the heart of many a devoted child of the
church which has been cold and Indifferent
to the attractions of the world during the
holy season which will then close for the
present year.
Easter day is always a day on which it is
well for any person admiring the beautiful
and the devotional to be in the village of
Carroiltown stony indeed must be the heart

trayed by the believer in Christ on the day

tending It's membership, and its meetings
are characterized by the utmost harmony
and unison Of feeling and interest.

Editor Freeman-In company with my
wife | paid a brief visit to the Cambria
county Poor House, few days since, and
so agreeably were we impressed with the
manner in which that institution is conduct
ed by Col. M'Dcrmitt, that l cannot refrain
from giving expression to my admiration
through the medium of your paper Ga all
sides neatness, order and cleanliness prevails
to an extent unsurpassed in any private resi-
dence in the county, while the treatment of
the inmates by Col. MD. and his estimable
wife and family is characterized by the ut
most kindness, although the rules of the es-
tablishment are strictly enforced and will
ingly obeyed. Our Poor House Directors
have been fortunate in the selection of
competent and faithful Steward, and no one
who visits that institution can fail to be
gratifed with the manner in which the
House -is conducted in all its departments.
Yours, &C., CoNEMAUGH.
