The foregoing extract is taken from
an article in new paper styled the
E"fo and oj"P, tie first number of
which was published in Johnstown
last week. The paper is a union OF
the late FDjc5 and Echo, the name OF
James f. Campbell appearing as its
publisher and the substance Of the
paper itself shows that he is also it's
editor How this unnatural political
union OF the Echo and i'0ice was
brought about we do not profess to
know, nor do we care much about dis /
cusslng the reasons or uIterior objects /
Of it. The manifesto Of Mr.. Camp .
bell ia certainly high sounding in ita
devotion TO Democratic measures and I
Democratic candidates, and yet the .
Democracy Of Cambria. knowing him
we'll and fully understanding his past /.
political career in this county. will he
forced to eXclaim as did Macbeth to .
the murdered ghost Of Bauquo:
Take any shape but that ~
We are fully warranted in saying this
from the political course Mr.. Camp
bell has pursued in this county for
tue last tGo two years as the editor of
the 1iouatan Toicc. He was the
friend and advocate Of Samuel Henry
against John Hannan in 1872 and .
against Henry Scanlan in 1878. He .
has eNerted his utmost power and .
all the influence Of his Voice, not in
favor Of the Democrat party, its or
ganization and its candidates. but in
the especial interest and election of
Samuel Henry, who never voted for
4 Democratic in his life. except at the
late borough election in this place. .
and that wa5 done for reasons other .
than love for Democratic PRINCIPLES.
v know James T. Campbell and re-
spect him as a man OF energy and in .
perseverance. His editorial .
has been a peculiar one and .
without q parallee IN the State. We .
DO not desire to have, nor will we
have, any personal controversy with .
him The idea of any poijticaI con
troversy with tie late editor of Hen +.
~ S pretended organ in Johnsto7yn is f.
simply out Of the question. We will /.
treat him fairly in the new and sn-
position he has assumed. If
ne IS = sincere Democrat, and if his
eXtraVagant professions in that direc-
ton are strictly honest, we say to Mr.
Campbell in all kindness, in view of
his recent conversation:
while tn lamp holds ont to burn
The gilcst sinner may return"
