PHILADELPHIA, Sept. IA, 1850. +
To the Editor o. The Cambria Freeman:
l am pleased to learn through the .
FREEMAN that the FROSTY sons OF thun- F.
der had. in response to the call OF tue
Chairman of your County Commit
tee. an Immense gathering at EbenS-
burg last week 1t seems to have been
Il grand Democratic rally, and affords
much pleasure to your Democratic broth
ers throughout the State, inasmuch as Il
showed that the Democracy of Cambria
is thoroughly united and fully alive to
the Importance of the coming contest
The FREENAN tells me that the Han
cock fever prevails all over Cambria
couutv, attacking men, women and chill
dren.' The same report comes from
every section Of the country. There
seems to be a general Hancock epidemic.
Thank heaven, however, the epidemic IS
not in the nature of a scOurge, but OF
blessing II is not d destroying pestl-
lence, but a purifying panacea. II IS
sweeping over the whole land, and the
political atmosphere throughout the en-
tire Union Will be purified thereby
Both the Democratic and Republican
State Committees are working for dear
life. Both claim victories for Garcock
and HanGeld.
TIE CHAMPION CAMPAIGN IDIOT
Philadelphia can boast of possessing
the most perfect campaign idiot IN the
Union. The name of this champion
III
him General Baxter. His diocy has al
ready reached Il great height, but As lac
has several weeks more 10 play the clown,
there is no telling how much higher 1T
may reach,
GRAND RALLIES OF THE DEMOCRAEN.
The subcommittee on the town meet
iIgs of the Democratic campaign COM
mittee has designated October "a and
Gth as the dates for the grand rallies of
the Democracy at the Academy Of Nu-
sic under the auspices of the campaign
committee. and October 22d and 29th rs
the days for grand rallies under the aus
pices of the Americus Club at the same
place.
GIVE Us MORE BANTEES.
If PENNSYLVANIA had a few more Cen
eral BaXteTs there Is 20 telling where
Hancock 5 majority would stop. IL only
Baxter himself will keep up his defama-
tiuu of Hancock vigorously until the
election, he will add many thousand
Union soldiers to the number who are
already supporting him. Gen. Baxter
has struck out on an original and Ger
taiuly very effective plan to make sol
dieiS cluster around the banner OF the
man they saw in the flame of battle at
Gettysburg. Can it be possible that
Democrats have employed Gen. Baxter
to declare that Gen. Hancock mad moth
ing to do with the battle of Gettysburg
that Gel. Hancock ''neyer heard 4
shot fired by his corps in that battle -
. The most efficient recruit to the cause Of
Hancock thus far is Gen. Baxter. Bul-
/ ly for Baxter
FINALLY BROUGHT TO BAY.
John Buchanan. the dePraved and
shameless miScTeant, the miserable sub
terfuge of simulated suicide, who
through the error OF u Judge of cTimi-
nal court was suffered on insufficient bail
to go at large, bas lHally been brought
to bay and delivered into the hands Of
the authorities. The infamous traffic III
which this infamous criminal was en-
gagged had brought disgrace, not only
upon Philadelphia, but upon the whole
country. But for the Record This ScOuu-
/ drel would still be at large and in Il new
: career Of inramy. To the Philadelphia
RCcord is wholly due the credit of expos
: ing and uprOotinE the miserable business
. Of selling bogus medical diplomas in this
/ city. To that journal alone is due the
( honor of bringing John Buchanan and
/ his infamous bogus diplomatic associates
to justice.
Eanduscr, the man who 5wore the
doctor was drowned, has been arrest
ed for perjury. The most surprised and
shocked individual IN the community
was Mrs. Buchanan, the Deans wife,
who believed and m0urned him as dead.
wOULD-BE LEGISLATORS.
There are great many aspirants for
s.atesmeu'S maHtleS in Philadelphia.
As a general thing in this city brains do
not constitute any of the qualifications
of a candidate Tor the Legislature. or i'll
deed for any other Office, as the leaders
say who the candidates shall be, and they
don't admire men of brains. The list OF
aspiraEts throughout the city is very
large one, and those OF them who Will
come TO the front VIII be OF the usual
grade of those who preceded them The
Republican party in this city viii be the
first to name its candidates for legiSla-
tive hOnors, and under the peculiar gov
eminent OF the party many are called (OI
rather call themSelYeS), but the leaders
say who shall be chosen The nomina-
tiOns from the twenty-eight districts in
this city are this year very important.
The incoming Legislature has to elect a
United States Senator TeappOrtiOn the
State into Congressional, Senatorial and
Representative districts, and viii proba-
bly, have to act upon one or two cOnSti-
tutional amendments; yet The outlook
is that Philadelphia will be no more
WCrthily represented than in former Leg.
