IT was repeatedly asserted during the
recent political canvass, both by the Johns
town Tribune and Voice, that there then
was and for years heretofore had been in
existence what is styled an "Ebensburg
Ring" 1t was charged that this imagin-
airy ring" is corrupt in all its purposes
and operations, and that it is a well organ
ized political cabal, whose sole and entire
purpose is to control political nominations
In this county and to rob and plunder the
people. r. L. JOHNSTON, Esq, and JOHN
A. BLAIR, sx-sheriff Of the county, were
declared to be the head and front of this
dreadful combination OF course all this
political abuse was manufactured and ut
tered for special parpose. 1t may, per-
haps, have had its influence in some parts
Of the county 30 far rs the county ticket
was concerned, but it is none the less a
falsehood. We have known r. L. JOHNS
SoE long enough and well enough to say
that he has always manifested and proven
himself to be gentleman, not only person
ally, but politically. Did he ever commit
. dishonorable act, political or otherwise,
In all his Ifes If he ever did, or if JOHN
A. BLAIR, or J. Z. HITR, or any other
gentleman named as member of the myth
heal Ring ever did such an act let it be
published to the world, and then, if the
proof be forthcoming, let the guilty one
fall and be forever dishonore6 in the esti-
nation Of all honest men. But it cannot
and it will not be proven. The three gen
Aemen referred TO above, prominent dem
eerats all Of them, we have taken the lib
sIty to name simply because they have
been specially singled out as objects of per-
sonal and political defamation. We know
and feel that they can outlive all the as
PERSONS that have been or may hereafter
be cast upon their fair fame, but neveIthe-
Less have felt constrained to repel the das-
tardly attacks that have been made upon
their political characters while at the same
time we repulse and utterly deny the silly
and IN sane charge that there docs now or
ever did exist what the Johnstown radical
DrsAS Is pleased to term the Ebensburg
ring.

Not TOtiRG.

An assemblage at Harrisburg, which, ac-
cording to the Patriot of that city, was en-
tirely insignificant in every particular, has
issued a mantle cto recommending the Dem
ocrats of Pennsylvania not to vote at the
November election. This is rather lame
and impotent conclusion to the movement
that has constantly promised to furnish can
didates better than those nominated by the
Democratic Convention at Baltimore. So
many people always neglect the duty of vot-
ing, so much urging, drumming and trans
porting to the polls is always necessary to
get out full vote, that anybody who may
take upon himself to recommend people not
to vote, may afterwards c0mplacently as
sumo that he has swayed those who me her
needed nor heard his advice. Having, how
ever, given such advice place in our news
columns we will add that we never saw,
and hope we never shall see, a political con-
JunctuTe in which it would be desirable for
an American citizen TO neglect his duty
and refuse to vote. While we will not af-
feet confidence of carrying this State in
November against the agencies that are yet
in a vigor that has grown with iInpunitY, we
believe that the spirit is still alive in other
States to continue the Presidential contest
with a manly spirit that sees success as
possible, and never ceases to strive for it,
The issue now is not the ancient opinions
of MIR. Greeley or the expediency of his
nomination at Baltimore. What we had
to say on those points we said before the
nomination was made. Since the no!nina-
ton our candidate has displayed a vigor,
ability and public spirit that have gone far
TO remove all sincere objections to him.
Very few Democrats have taken any part
IN the illusOry and impracticable movement
to put some other candidate in the field-a
movement that, as most sagaciouS men ex-
pected, has ended in smoke. Many Dem
ocrats there are who have entertained the
purpose of not voting, and this not from
any ones suggestion, but as the result of
personal dissatisfaction or encouragement
We ask them to reconsider any such pur-
pose. The citizens function is one too i'm
portant to be lightly neglected. He who
forms in himself or encourages in others a
habit of not voting, withdraws himself
from his share in carrying on a popular
government. If we expect to overcome
fraud and re-establish free and pure cleo
tions, it must be by asserting and exalting
the Importance of the vote of every citizen
not by sighting it or voluntarily resigning
1T. There was never a onjuncture in which
free civil government more needed the
open, manly support of its true friends
There will be peculiar significance in
every vote cast for the Democratic Elector-
al ticket in November 1t will be the free
mans utterance against fraud, corruption
and despotism. 1t will keep up to the last
hour the contest on our soil, and not leave
Radicalism free to spread its repeaters over
neigh boring Statos- This is Wow of
the matter, and we never uttered with more
carnestness the old American call to duty:
''To the polls, fellow citizens, to the POLISH
Phil. Age.
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1872-10-25

The leaders of the Radical party In this
county boast, and even offer to bet money,
that GRANT will carry Cambria at the cleo
tion on next Tuesday week. The editor
Of the Johnstown Tribune, with his accus-
toned, cool and proverbial impudence, as
serts that such will be the result. We
think we know the integrity of the Democ-
raoy Of this county, and that they will teach
the editor of the Tri6uns, and all such
defenders Of GRANT and HARTRANFT, that
Horace GREELEY will receive as large a
vote in Cambria county at the November
election as Buckalew received on the Sth
day of the present month.
We admit that the result Of the October
election in Pennsylvania disappointed all
our expectations, but that it is decisive of
the election in November for President we
utterly deny. Let every Democrat in
Cambria county regard it as his solemn
and imperative political duty to go to the
election on the 5th of November and vote
for HORACE GREELEY. There must be no
such word rs ''surrender.' That was the
reply of the 'Old Guard of NAPOLEON at
L.
LINeToE. We trust that the Democracy.
not only of this State, but Of Cambria
county, will fight the battle out to the bit
ter end until the November election.
We publish in another column an article
from the Philadelphia Age on the question
of not voting. 1t is sensible, prudent and
TO the point, and we hope every Democrat
In ol0ria nfTx xvill
suggestions of the Age. Why should we
surrender? We can, if we will, elect
GREELEY and BRowN.
An article elsewhere from The most re-
liable and able Democratic paper In the
Union, the New York World, tells the
whole story. So far as the political con-
illusions Of the World are expressed, we
recommend them to the careful considera-
ton of all our Democratic readers, and ask
them to vote in November as they did in
October, and we will be victorious. The
battle is not lost. The fight will be along
the whole line in November, from Maine
to Oregon, and as Lord NELSON proclaimed
from his flagship at the battle of Trafal-
gar that on that day England expected
every man to do his duty, so we say that
on the 9th of November every Democrat
In Pennsylvania is expected to do his fuIl
and entire duty, no matter what tba diai-
oulties and apparent obstacles TO success
that are to be overcome. Let no Dsn,o-
crat falter in the good work, but remem-
Der that the darkest hour is just before the
dawning. Take courage, then, work ma
fully, do your duty as becomes good citi-
Isns and earnest, hopeful Democrats, and
al viii yet be well.
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1872-10-25

Now, supposing the Democratic party
able to hold its own in these States, it is
not difficult TO discover a way to success in
this Presidential contest. To these 1873
electoral votes we may safely add New
York, which, with its 30 electoral votes.
increases the number to 173. 1t requires
only 1S4 votes to elect President and
there are sources enough from which we
could make up the other II with proper
exertion. Connecticut, which the Grant
party, carried last spring ''by the skin of
their teeth" might give us of the requi-
site IL, leaving only to be sought else
where. We have good chances in Louisi-
ana, which has 8 electoral votes-making
three more than we need. We have also
chances in Arkansas, in spite of the dis
1ranchIsement, which would increase the
Democratic majority in the Electoral Col
leges from to 8. Then there is no reason
why we should quite despair of Illinois and
Ohio, either of which alone added to the
Democratic States would give us a hand
some majority.-N. 7. World, 18Th.

to erect an unlimited number of piers or
fixtures to catch the timber, and then can
exact ten cents f0r each thousand feet from
the owner. The company can easily have
enough of these places, when taken in con-
nection with the toll chargeable, to exact
more than one-ha.f the real value of the
timber caught at these piers.
We pronounce this bill, and moro espe-
cially Mr.. HENRY's supplement, au outrage
upon every man residing along the waters
of Blacklick, inasmuch as it takes his pro
perty, the result of his hard labor, without
his consent, and confers it on monopohsts
from Lancaster, Harrisburg, and elsewhere.
The election is over and we have no pur-
pose now but to present the truth ard put
the people of Blacklick and Barr townships
on their guard, so as to enable them to
take the necessary steps for having tins
odious legislation repealed. Mr.. HENRY
well knows that thorough knowledge
of this act would have lost him the vote OF
every man whose rights are thus shameful
ly trampled upon, and the best thing he
can do, in this one instance at least, is to
shake OFF the spectators III land ana laoor
who make use of his popularity to accom-
plish their own selfish purposes.
Nothing has yet been done under Mr.
HKNRY's supplement, and those interested
should at once petition for its repeal. If
they do they may be sure that the obnox-
ious act Will be obliterated from the statute
book for Mr. HENRY will not dare 60 coun-
ter to their wishes.
And now what will the Herald man say
about THE LIE'' somebody has induced
him to utter? OF course he viii not retract
that is more than could be expected from
such source-but nobody cares whether
he does or not. He dare not deny, how
ever, that the most obnoxious part of the
bill is its supplement, and that that was
passed during Mr.. HENRY 5 term and was
signed by the Governor on the 18th day of
April, 1872. Further comment is uncalled
fer.

REPUBLICANS who voted for Buckalew in
preference to Hartranft, says the Phia.
A9e, are being read out of the party by the
Cameron 'Ring." Since that corrupt or
ganization carried the late election by
open, impudent, unblushing fraud, they
consider real voters of little account. 4
few counters and repeaters will do the
whole business, without the trouble of
bringing so many people to the polls. But
there is an end to all wicked, disreputable
schemes, and the end of ''Ring'' rule is
coming. The people have been alarmed
by the conduct of Cameron and his friends
IN this city and State, and there will be a
healthy reaction, when all the facts are
scattered broadcast through the Common
wealth,
