The Black Republican Meeting.A meeting of the combined forces of Know
Nothingism and Black Republicanism, was heldIn the Court House on Wednesday evening,about one half of the crowd was composed ofdemocrats. TLe meeting was addressed by S. S.LLtir, Esq., of Uollidaysburg, Judge Spalding ofOhio and Mr. Howard, of Titt&burg. The "Kan-sas outrage" formed the staple of the respectivespeeches, and which were merely a rehash of theshrielt for freedom, which daily appear in theNew York Tribune. Mr. Blair made about asstrong a defence of free niggerism as could be ex-
pected. Judge Spalding hails from Cleaveland.lie has been a rampant abolitionist of the Gid-din- gs
school since 1848. We believe he was adelegate to the Philadelphia Convention thatcomiuated John C. Fremont. In one of his treasonable harangues before that body, or in apeech after its adjournment, he made use of the
following language:"In the case of the alternative being presen-
ted, of of Slavery or a dissolutionof the Union, lam for dissolution, and I care nothow qaickly it comss."
Standing on such a platform, we leave thosewho heard htm to decide what .nanner of man heis, and whether he is not a fit colaborer in thedirty work of Sumner, Grecly, Burlinqame, Banksand others of that school, who are in favor of"Ittiing tiie Uuion slide."
Mr. Howard was originally a Know Nothingbe ropented, and for a short time played thepart of a bogus democrat and in order to securea nomination for Congress from Allegheny coun-ty, became an active Republican; but the Conven-tion put their veto on his political aspirations.He is exceedingly full of stale, common place an-ecdotes, and is much better calculated to amusea crowd ia Dau Rice's Circus, or to play a prom-inent part at a nigger boe down, than to enlight-en a Cambria county audience. The next timeLe visits Ebensburg, we advise him to bring hisBanjo along with him we guarantee him a fullhou;t; one that will more than pay expenses.
THE SPEAKERS.Our space will not allow us to-da- y to describe
as we would wish the Orations of the differentjentiemcn who addressed our citizens on lastWednesday afternoon and night. To say thatthe addresses of Messrs. Stokes, CofTey, Black,Wilson, Tthcy and Perching, were argumentative,logical, persuasive, abounding in historical factsand illustrations, flashing with wit and brilliantdeclamation, but feebly expresses the sentimentof admiration which prevails in our community.We only wish that they could be heard in every
district in the Commrnwealtb. Our citizens weredelighted, and aroused. - The effect of thesespeeches will bo evident in the utter destructionwkich awaits fanatci?tn ami sectionalism in onr
r.rfw thfs fall.
Old Washington Movlnr.It will be seen by reference to another column,
that the friends of the Constitution and Union inWashington township, formed a Buchanan andBreckinridge Club, on last Saturday, and aregoing to work in earnest. They have elected as
President of their Club, Pual George, one of theoldest and most respected citizens of the countya man whose character is without speck or stain,he has hitherto been a member of the old lineWhig party, but in common with the thousandsof true hearted Whigs who have already dclaredthemselves, he cannot stand by with folded armsand see fanatics dismember and cut up onr glo-
rious Ur.ion to gratify their own reckless and sel-
fish ambition.Another old line Whig, Samuel II. Gray, wai
elected Secretary of the Club. lie is an indus-
trious mechanic, a man of intelligence and infor-
mation, lie mado quite a neat address whencalled upon by the Club which we commend tothe notice of those whohave hitherto acted againstus. These changes and their examples will notbe without their effect and influence, throughoutthe county, and as regards the township, we willroll up a majority in October and November thatwill satisfy every body that the patriotic spirit ofthe county is excited.
TnETIblES OF EBENSBURG.The Democracy owe a conspliment to the La
dies of our borough. They presented, on lastTuesday, a magnificent Bmquetof thechoisestand most splendid flowers, to each of the Orators,who spoke at the Democratic meeting. It wasdecidedly the most beautiful and interesting inci-
dent of the occasion.Miss Margaret Rhey, on behalf of the ladies of
Ebensburg, also presented to the Delegation fromWashington township, a glorious Bouquet cer-
tainly the choice one. The present, and thekindness with which it was presented, went tothe hearts of the gallant Mountaineers, as wasevinced by the rapturous cheers with which itwas received. It was refresh:ng and encouraging oobserve that while the gentlemen of Ebensburgseemed to have forgotten the common, every daycivilities of human intercourse, the ladies were ac-
tive to manifest their appreciation of patrioticeffort and exertion."Honor to woman to her it is givenTo garden the earth with the roses of heaven,
All blessed she linketh t lie love in their choirIn the veil of the graces her beauties concealing.She tends on each altar that's hallowed to feeling,
And keeps ever liring the fire."
A. C. MULLIN, EiSQ.The nomination of this gentleman, as the sena-
torial candidate of the opposition in this District,has greatly offended the nice political sensibilitiesof the editor of the Blair County Whig. It is afamily quarrel, in the result of which we feel verylittle interest. In the last number of his paper,Maj Raymond was delivered of the followingblood and thunder mauifesto :
' The Senatorial Conference for this District,belonging to the American party, met at Altoona,on Thursday last, and on the first ballot, nomina-ted Alex.C. Mullin, of Cambria Coumy, for Statebeuator w c leel sorry tor tlie sake of the Dis-trict, the character of the party which nominatedhim, the interests of the people of Peunsj Ivania,and the certainty of throwing the District into thehoods ff ttiv Lcf--s-, tlt tircj- - TrTFiiiiiau-- thisman Mulliu. If bargains of this kind are to bemade by candidates in the several Counties in or-
der to promote the treat and obnoxious of the par-ty, the people will repudiate them.
Wc may as well state it now as in the future, thatthe Blair County Whig will in no way prostituteitself oy aiding in the election of Alex. C. Mulliu.Any man of character in the District would havereceived our unqualified suppoi t, but in the pres-ent crisis, we hope the Republicans will select aman and go into the contest against Locofocoism,ami endeavor to succeed.
It is only necessary to say that he was one ofthe men who, three ago, were connectedwith the Alleghenian, at Ebcnsburg, a sheet thatwas purchased by the Locofocos, and Mullin tostand for its dirty work against ti e Whig candi-date for Senator at that time. To dwell on this sub-ject, because it is a fruitful theme, misht lead usagain into the meshes of the Itw, at the instanceof a pitiful creature like Mcllin.
We repeat it, that we are extremely sorry thatwiser councils did not prevail in the Conference.The.e were some good men in that Canference.but theii judgment must have been overreachedin order to get a candidate for Congros in the fieldfrom this County, who is equally if not more ob-jectionable than Mullin. We "hwe fallen uponevil times.
Choate'8 Letter.We publish in this week's paper an admi-
rable letter from Hon, Rufus CuoATE.of Bos-ton, to the Maine Whig State Convention.Mi. Choate is, by universal assent, one of thegreat men of America. As a scholar he baafew superiors as a lawyer, he ttands pre-emine- nt
as a statesman he is "sound, practicaland enlightened as a patriot we may claimfor him an exalted rank among the best andpurest in the land. He was the bosom friendof Wcbster.and stood by that illustrious states-man in all his battles for the Constitution; amiwhen mere politicians and weak minded fana-tics deserted the great Massachusetts Senatorin 1850, because he supported the Compro-mise measures, Rcfus Ciioatb adhered to hiui,advocated the man and the measures, and bythe force of his mighty mind and burning elo-
quence silenced the legions of howling fana-tics who were crying out crucify him ! cru-cify him !" Such is the man who now stepsforward in this hour of gloom and peril, to re-
buke, once more, the1 demagogues and traitorswho have raised their parricidal hands againstthe Constitution and Union of their country.Nor is he alone in this honorable and patriot-ic effort In all sections of the country emi-nent Whigs who. in other days, fought gal-lantly under the banners of Clay and Web-ster, and stuck by their party while it had anexistence, have arrayed themselves with theDemocratic party in defence of souud nationalprinciples.
It is rumored that the National Intelli-gencer, one of the oldest and most influentialold line Whig papers in the United States isabout to declare its determination tothe Cincinnati nominations. We W thaffinews is not too good to be true.

and one of the most popular public mi.m.v-A- r
ia the State rs on for Buchanan
Charles Sumner.We Lave hitherto refrained from saying
anything in reference to this gentlemrn whowe believe, is still sojourning at Cresson, inthis county. Whether bis health is as deli-
cate, as some of bis friends and admirers rep-
resent it to be, must be determined by thosewho have seen and conversed with him. If,on the other hand, as is alleged, the object ofhis visit to Pennsylvania is for the purpose ofcreating political sympathy for the party withwhich he acts, and thereby bolstering up thewaning fortunes of Fremont; he has sadly mis-
taken the field of his operations The " frostysons of thunder" do not desire to hear any ofhis wild and rampant denunciations of theSouth and her institutions ; they do not wishto hear disunion talked about as familiarlv as
at
household words; but infinitely rather, thepatriotic sentiment of his predecessor, Web-
ster, when be exclaimed, Liberty and U- -
NION, NOW AND FOREVER, ONE AND INSEPARABLE Ihetollowing article, which we copyfrom the Uollidaysburg Standard, ia not calculated to produce a very favorable impression.either in favor of Mr. Sumner as a man, orhis sentiments as a politician :
" This martyr to Free Kansas, Free Speechand Free Niggers, as we stated in our last, is.or lately has been, rusticating at the house ofDr. Jackson, of Cresfon. Since his arrival,what little sympathy was manifested for himin this neighborhood has entirely ghen wayto feelings of deep disgust. There is nothingwhatever the matter with him. He is haleami hearty, has a good appetite, and talks pol-
itics with all the bitter vindictiveness that aYankee fauatic can command.
One day last week," Col. D. II. nofius, anold line Whig, and J. Blair Moore, Demo-crat, of this place, and Col J. J. Patterson,Republican, one of the editors of the Ilarris-bur- g
Herald, visited Cresson. Iu companywith a man named Gemmil, at the invitationof Dr. Jackson, tooy called upon Mr. Sum-ner, who received them very cordially. Hesoon asked Mr. Ilofius how Mr Ford had suc-ceeded here. The Colonel told him franklythat he did not succeed very well that hismeetiag was composed of Democrats aud Fill-aio- re
men that very few Fremont were pres-ent, in consequence of thi re being but few inthe place.
This frank, avowal irritated the gentlemanwith the soft brain, and lie poured forth a per-fect torrent of invectives against Pennsylva-nian- s.
While emptying his vials of BlackRepublican wrath, he declared that the Whigsand Democrats of Pennsylvania were whiteslaves, and that he should glory in seeintrthem brought to the block, aud disposed ofunuer tne auctioneers hammer.
This unqualified assertion of the Yankeetanatic did not fail te arouse the indignationof the Pennsylvanians, and Col Ilofius madesome tart reply, which ouly aggravated thematter the more, and he showered abuse ofthe foulest kind upon Pennsylvania indescrim-inatcly- ,
aDd when the party attempted to vindicate their State, the dignified Yankee Abo.litionist cooly opened a Boston paper and cominenced reading. The party came away coni- -plAMly xllBflMlcd, and tJi-l- . IIOUUS, who .ic--viously felt great sympathy for the man be- -tore lie uttered such atrocious sentimei.ts, dedares openly that his honor earned a greatmany caniugs ttian tie lias ever received.
Hon. Lynn Boyd.We observe, in a number of papers, a state
ment that this gentleman, in a political d iscussion at Dresden, Tennessee on the 5.h ofAugust, shot a certain Mr. Blakely, one otthe electors for the state of Kentucky. We knew that the rumor was unfounded, from the fact that there is no Fremontelectoral ticket, either in Kentucky or anyany other slave holding Ftate. We are infor-med, however, that a letter was received iuthis place last week from Mr Boyd's wife toher relatives here, in which she states that thereport is without any foundation whatever.Mr. Boyd was at bis home in Kentucky atthe time the difficulty is alleged to have takenplace.
Merited Rebuke.Hon Wm II. Witte, while recently ad-
dressing a meeting of the Norristown CentralBuchanan Club, was interrupted by Gause,the editor of the Olice Branch; and, after theadjournment, Rev. Samuel Aaron made hisway through the crowd to the speaker andchallenged him to a discussion. Nosaid Mr Witte, "and I will give you my rea-sons :
A proper respect for my character as aDemocrat, entirely forbids a discussion witha so-call- ed Minister of the Gospel who has de-secrated the pulpit, and soiled the sacred robesof his office by dragging them in the slimypool of party politics, and proved himself atraitor to his ..od, his country and the Consti-tution. - ........
A rebuke which we trust may prove bene-ficial to others, if it should not to the madmanto whom it was so properly administered.
The Glorious Trio.Whilst Sumner, Ford, and Burlingame are
concocting treason at Cresson, which is situatelin Washington township in our county, the pat-riotic citizens of tnat township are taking activemeasures to counteract their schemes, as will13 seen by our columns to-da- y. It will beseen that they have entered the fhld, and that noset of men are more active in the movementsthere, thau the
.old line Whigs, the disciples of
""! J TIT lw.ayaua v ei.ster, tho men whom Sumner andhis two " bowers" are trj ing to humbug, but whoare the very men who repudiate and despise him,his treachery aud his associates. It will be seenby our paper to-da- y, that the Whigs of old Wash-ington, the Georges, the Sharps, the Grays, andmany others, are not deceived by Sumner andhis " Yankee notions." Pass it round.Congressional and Senatorial Conferences.
We understand the Congressional noT.Vfrom this District will meet at JohnBfown nnext Friday, and that the Senatorial Confer-ees will meet at Uollidaysburg, on next SaUurday. , The result of their respective dcliberationi will appear in oar paper of next week.
Swindling1Two years ago a Know Nothing tornado
swept over the couutry, and by which a largenumber of the disciples of " Sam" suddenly-foun- d
themselves elevated to the halls of ourstate legishture, and of Congress. How theyexercised their brief authority in the "Kev-stone- "
the people of our good old state willlong remember, and the obnoxious laws thenpassed pointed to as monuments of their fanaticism and folly. Some of them have sincebeen repealed, but the law providing for anincrease of their pay and by which they votedfive hundred dollars into each of their ownpockets still remains. They were not contentwith the old law which gf vc a Pennsylvanialegislator three dollars a day and viileuge, butchanged it to a salary of 500 per annum, andmade the law applicable to themselves.
The example thus set in Pennsylvania hasbeen followed by their brethren in the presentCongress. Eight dollurs a day, and eightdollars for every twenty miles travt l in goingto and from the 6eatof government was too lit-
tle for those Ainericaus who should ruleAmerica-- " and they have accordingly votedto raise the pay of members of Congress to$3000 per annum, and made the law apply tothe present Congress
By this legislative trick the present Know-Nothin- g
Congress has not only immortalizeditself, but the it.enil crs have received severalhundred dollars more than, they bad contractedfor with their constituents at the time theywere elected. Like their brethren in Pennsylvania they sec the baud-writin- g on the wall,and know that the voice of an indignant peo-ple will soon compel them to retire to that ob-
scurity from which they suddenly emerged.They are well aware that it is their last chanceand they make a grab at the public treasuryand fill their own pockets, whilst they at thesame time refuse to vote supplies to the pol-die- rs
engaged in the defence of the couutryEven tho New York Tribuue, the organ ot
the Black Republicans, is forced to condemnthis act, to which it alludes in the followingstrictures :
It was just forty yoars ago that the Con-gress ,f that day undertook to increase thepay of members. They put it up to barelyftl.oOO a 3'car, which is about what thev nowreceive, on the average, at the old charge ofeight dollars per day. e believe that theydid not make the rise retrospective, as the newact docs. Yet this $1,500 a year demolishednearly all who were concerned in it. HenryClay, who had not had a competitor at thepolls for some time previous, barely taveduimselt trom detoat by superhuman exertions.uurivalled ability on the Mump, by appealingto his great and admitted public services, andny virtually contessing that he had done wrongand promising to do better. Members ofmoderate abilities aud ordinary services wentdown betore the surge of public mdnrnationlike drj-- grass. before a prairie fr. Th newI'ongress hastened to repeal the CompensationAct and go back to the eight dollars per day,which did not look so insignificant to theirconstituents at their lonelv firesides as to thedispensers of millions at Washington
'But the retrospective feature of the new actis most iudefeasible. Every member now inCongress virtually contracted to serve thrf-us-
the last term for $720. Instead of that, "amajority have now voted to take to themselves$3,000 for that service. This is not exactlystealing, but it is a very sharp kind of convey-ing. See if it docs not bow down a good ma-ny of those engaged in it ! We earnestly ad-
vise all parties not to put up any member-- :
who voted for this grab in any of the close dis-tricts. It will not be safe.
"People of the United States ! ask youipresent or prospective candidates for Congresswhat they think of this new Conipfnr.tionAct. and try to have their answer iu black andwhite before you vote for any of them !"
It is not long since Mr Greeley congratu-lated the country on having such a glorious"ongrcss as the present. He might havs tol-
erated a little stealing in consideration of ex-
tra services on the Kansas question.
WA SII I XG TONTO WNSIIIP.We were not a little gratified to witness
the fine display, made by the democracy ofthis township at the county meeting yester-
day. The Buchanan and Breckinridge club,at Hemlock headed by that old and well knowncitizen Paul George, with their banners andtransparencies made such a show as astonish-ed tho Fremont men of this region Accom-
panied by the stirring strains of the NewryBrass Baud, with their wagons crowded downwith the hard fisted Democrats, as tbey mov-
ed through our streets, they won the admira-
tion of all, and gave assurance that all wasright in Washington, and that this Gibraltarof Democracy was impregnable against theassaults of Sumner, Ford and company.

By order of theDmxockatic Stat Ccmui Ocrtcurrnnv
Refusing' the SuppliesThe refusal of the Black Republican major
ity in Congrees to grant the necessary appro-priation for the support of the Army, and theforts, arsenals and other defences of the Nationis revolutionary in the extreme, and goesto show what Black Republicanism is and whatit will do. This is the first time in our his-
tory as a Nation, that Congress has adjournedwithout voting means neccessary to carry onthe machinery of govern Dient. Every sensibleman can see at glance the object of these BlackRepublicans, in withholding tho means necessary to cuable the President to keep in checkthe bands of lawless men. North and South,who have created all the disturbances in Kan-sas. They hope by compelling the Govern-ment to withdraw the troops statioued there,to give up Kansas to tho fanatics and desperadoes who have been making the mischief,and then throw the llanic of any outragesthat may be committed on the Administra-tion and the Dcinocatic party. Yes, they orewilling to lock up and prevent its circulationamong the people offifteen viiVinns of thepublic treasure, and bring ruin and distress up-
on tbouands ol laboring men and mechanics,aud upon the country generally, if so be theycan elect their disunion candidate to the Pres-idency! But the game has bean blocked bythe firmness and patriotism of the President,and the people will still farther pet the fcal oftheir disapprobation upon such conduct on
the 1th of November next.The Daily Xcics has the following strong
language in reference to this infamous proceed-ing of the Black Republican majority iuCongress:
This revolutionary proceeding cannnot failto attract the attention of the entire nation,and to drmontrate to the American peoplehow wild and impracticable how violent andterrible this new organization is. and howfaijhfully it reflects the ultraisin and extrava-gance preached in its partisan sheets Outhe stump; in the pulpit, through the n"wnpapers, it labors to excite Stats ngainst Stateand to array section against section, to divideour people into hostile camp, and to draw aline across tho fat;e of our co-nm- r n coun ry.In Congress, it wars openly apainst the Gov-
ernment it cannot control, ai:n8 to revolution-ir- ethe country, ptands sponsor to treason
aud rebellion, and refuses to grant the moneyneedful to keep on foot our army establish-ment. It prefers tht the army be disbanded,the settlers on our Western frontiers left with-out protection from the hostile sarair, theemigrants across the plain unguarded ontheir lonely journey, the forts in our harbor?dismantled . the munitions of war uncared forin our arsenals, private and public propertyto the amount of millions left exposed to dep-redation rnd los it prefers, in short, to dowhat no party in our country has ever hereto-fore attempted to do to paralize the arm ofGovernment for the nake rf making a littlemiserable " party capital!"
Such is Black "Republicanism," and suchar its first fruits. In the control of oneHouse of Congress, it can refune to vojte themonev to carry on th affairs of GovernmentShould it ever obtain the control of the Exec-utive branch, by the election of Fremont tothe Presidency, what further and more fatalaggressions misht it not be expected to makeacainst the welfare and permanency of theUnion ?
Several Screws Loess.From developments thus far made, it appear
that at leat o"r gentlemen placed on theFPlmor and Donelsnn Electoral ticket, by theParrisburs State Convention, are Rron 2 friendsof Fremont It is stronirly suspected that afew of the remaining Electors ocennv the sameposition, and that by a kind of political leger-demain, which wns srtfu'Tv plaved off in theConvention on Jh n R Edit. Fillmore's lighthand man, the nt ha been essen-
tially sold. The discovery of this lrra.on hasnaturally proned a strong fcelirp of indig-
nation in the Fillmore camp. What actionwill be held in the premises remain? yet to be?aen. In Philadelphia, where, as betweenFill moi-- o and Fremont, the star of the formeris in the nscendant, and whre, sink or swim,live or die, survive or perish, the Know Noth-ings evince a settled determination to supportFillmore, the following is a part of thepro-eeedin- rs
of the Fillmore eity and county Con-
vention, which assembled a few days since.Mr Samuel Lloyd offered the following sub-
stitute :
Whereas. It is reported that one or moreper.ons hav been placed upon the ElectoralTicket in this State who are not in favor ofthe candidates of the American party forPresident and Vice President, this Conven-tion respectfully request the State CentralCommittee to investigate the said reports, andifascertained to be well founded, they forlb-wit- h
remove such persons aDd replace themby reliable men.
Several Relocates advocated the adoption ofthe substitute of Mr. Lloyl
A Delegate from the Third Ward said thathe represented the entire feeling in bis local-ity, when he asserted that a ticket containingany other name than that of a thorough Am-
erican, would not be supported.The substitute was adopted by a unanimous
vote, and amid much applause.In this region, whatever of JFillmoreism at
any one trme existed, has been completely
" crushed out," and is now a sickly argumentof Black Republicanism.
Who is Responsible? The New YorkHerald. Fremont's home organ , puts the re-
sponsibility where it belongs. It says :
The factious proccedines of the republicanparty to defeat the army, bill creates great ex-
citement hero. Some say the President shou'dtake the mony and pay the army The dem-ocrats asked for a continuance of the sessionfor two hours to try and agree upon the armybill, but the republicans refused it Manyother bills were defeated by this action.
Many northern men already oxpress theirrjretst at tfcsrir factioaa proceedings to-da- y.
Fremont Abroad.Frsmont in France. The Paris " Mcri-teu- r"
official organ of the imperial usurper,whom Fremont is said by bis admirers to re-
semble in some of the traits of his charactermakes this announcement :
' Our sympathies are entirely with ColonelFremont. We hope to see no extension cfthe Democratic principle in the United States.It is dangerous to European governments.'
Fremont in Esq land. Here ia what theLondon "Chronicle.' one of Queen Victoriaorgans, has to say in refereneo to our presi-dential struggle :
" We should be sorry to see Jlr. Bach an anelected, because be is in favor of preservingthe obnoxious institutions as they exist, endthe unity of the States. There is no safetyfor European monarchical governments if thtDemocracy of the United States is flowed tosucceed. Elect Fremont, and the first blowto the separation of the United StaUs is effo-te- d
