Our reason for issuing hut a half sheet this week is be;ause we were obliged tp move both our office and house, and we found it impossible to do so and issue, our paper. —l^———— JjTe Taritiv During the debates in the last Congress betwoeq the Democrats who favored conces sion, and 'be Republicans who opposed it, the most daip/igipg shot fjred by the latter into the camp of the farmer, was discharged ip this, wise —Referring to the Missouri Compromise line, the Republicans said to the Democrats, " when that line the btw of the land you repealed it to save the Union, and now, having rep-aled it to effect your otjccts, you demand that it shall be restored, also to save the Union."- This retort was like tbq stqnping a.ntj, staggering shot fr.om a tea-inch colqmbiad, and, every time it was brought out it did powerful execution. We refer to the circumstance as a lisson to some of our New York cotemporaries and . their mercantile supporters, who are clamo ring for the repeal or tho modification of the new Tariff law. Just puch a law was re quired by one pf the planks of the Chicago platform, and throughout the Presidential campaign the promise of it w as the staple ar gument of the Republican speakers in Penn sylvania, New Jersey, and doubtless in otber localities. Pending that canvass, not a voice was raised against the proposed measure by the Republican journals of New York, the Evening l\st excepted. The character, of the desired law was well known, for it hod already passed the Federal House of Repre sentatives, and was resting, in printed form. on the files of the Senate. That law was de manded by some for protection, hut in the main it was advocated because it was neces sary "tc replenish the exhausted Treasury." Having enacted it for that purpose, it is now urgrd, with great clamor, that the wants of the Treasury demands ils repeal. There is not a voioe raised in defence of the neNv Tariff in ths city of New York, ex cept that of the Tribune, and this elaborate measure, which was the centre of so muoh hope to the working classes, and which was to be the main reliance of the National finan ces, is threatened with strangulation in the first month of its existence. Should this, ynfortunateiy, prove to be the case, the raking fire which the Republicans poured ipto the Democrats abtut their course on tbp Missouri Compromise line, will be an swered with terrific effect by recallicg the history of the Morrill Tariff.

Kb man on that side believes any such thing, if hp jloes he don't know anything about the cost of building a jail. Wc have seen several .drafts of jails lately, and the highest that any of them cost was forty thou sand dollars. The best judges say that a goodjoil with all thg modem improvements, and arranged for solitary confinement, can bo built for thirty-five thousand. Tho law provides for the building of a jail, and the contract, for the kind that Centre County re- will readily be taken at forty thou sand, just one-half of the Berichlcr-s esti mate. "J'hen after this is completed the people arc very apprehensive of having a Poor House saddled upon th.eip, which, with build ing and farm, would cost at least ? 100,000, so that they look forward t<s be oppressed in a few years with a debt two hundred thou sand dollars, should tbey be so unfortunate as to remain part and parcel of Centre coun ty. " — Bcrichlcr. No one on this side of the mountain thinks flf building a Door A fe,w years ago a proposition was made to allow tire Town ships on this side to vote for and against such a b.uilding. The To,W DB^P B voting for the Poor House were to build jt at their own ex pense. The pr<j ct, however, was dropped, and this is the only movement for an asylum that we know of. No one, wo are quite cer tain, now thinks of it. Pur Now U. S. Senators The election of Hon. David 'Vilmot to fill the vacancy _(n the U. S.

A shout of triumph werjt .up by the consessionists when Mr- Cowan was elected, and tbey flew to the telegraph office and sent on the wings of 1-ghtning the story that Mr. Cowan was a conservative," meaning that he was one of the compromisers. So far from this being .thn case, he is one of the Rdpubli cens in the country. He has never, for a movient, intimidated that he had any idea of yielding one inch to the insolent demands of tie Southern traitors cr the feais of the tim id men of any party iD the North. lie stands, to-day, wjth Wilmot, Wade, Hale others who are toe bone and sinew of the Republican party an ( d 4 Rept}bli.can princi- Hon. John Patton. Everybody knows who John Patton is, but : few know what John Patton is. lie is the member of Congress elect from the Wild Cat , District, and is one of the cleverest little men we ever knew. Nor is this is all, he i 8 ol all friends the truest, and wheD he makes a promise you can rely upon it that it will be kept in good faith. When Congress as sembled, John Patton went down to Wash ington to Jook after the interests of his friends. He made out a list of the men who had done most for the party in his District, and went to wotk in earnest to secure their appointment. lie secured every prominent appointment he atked fpr ir. his District.— John Patton Is a '.nan, and that is saying more for him than we can say of nine-tenths of ou) - members of Congress. We like him for his and fidelity to his'fricnds ; he stands by the men who stood by him, and we love him the more because true men are now seldom found in high places. This day we would rather have John Pattonjs word than the oaths six men we could name wfi'j write M. Q. to their names and think they are honorable men. Like a good and true man Patton has takeq care cf the Press in Ijis district; he has secured for S. B. Row, Esq., the Editor of the in the j District, the llttftsmcn's Journal, the appoint ment of y. S. Mail Agent, a nice little bertfy j worth some S2OOO per annum. Mr. Row has given his time, money, and brains, t,o build up the party, and, it is right that he , should have j*ist what he got. For five years ' Mr. Row has fought the democracy in that District as no other man ever fought it, and has done more than any other man in the ' District to redeem it from the thraldom of Democratic misrule. lie labored bard to se i cure Mr. Patton's election, and John Patton j like an honeßt man, has repaid him for bis J toil. We like an honest man, and when Mr. | Patton comes up for office again we will go for him, first, last, and all the time. It is time that our public men were taught that if they want the Press to take care of them they must take care of the Press. The Ed itor is the poorest paid man that lives ; poor devil, be toils day and night, some times hungry and cold, to place men in power, who, when they have got into power, will tramp him down as unmercifully as the ox treads down the corn ; they thus destroy the substance that keeps them alive, and often kill the very man that, had they taken care of, would have put them iD the very position they hunger and thirst after but never reach. John Patton is none of thes6, if he had killed Mr. Row, Mr. Bow, with his little Journal, would have killed Mr. Patton. Now, that he has built up Mr. Row, let Mr. Row go to work iu earnest to build up Mr. Patton. All hail to the gallant little member from the Wild Cat District, long may he wave, and high may he climb. Here's onr shoulder, mount up, John, hoping we may be in your i District the next time. Auditor of the National Treasury. We clip the following notiee of Col. W. W. Brown, the associate Editor of this paper, from the Jlarrisbury lelegraph. The Tele graph ia a live paper, it did Excellent service in the last campaign, and is now the official organ of Gov. Curtin : " We bare incidentally heard that Col. W% W, Brown, of the CENTRE DEMOCRAT, is likely to be appointed as third 1 Auditor of the Trea sury under Secretary Chase. The election of Cob Brown to this important office is one of toe best that could possibly be made. We have known the Col- personally and politi cally for a number of years, and aiways found him battling for the right.- The Col. is located in a stronghold of Locofocoism and no man has done more to revolutionize the "Bigler District" on the stump or through the columns of his excellent paper than he has dune. The Senatorial, Congressioa-al and Rep resentative districts are all at the present time represented by Republicans on the floor of their respective Houses, whilst he himself fills the responsible post of County Treasurer, If the administration rewards such men, who have npent their energies, time ahi} money for the advancement of the Republican party, they will never bave cause to regret it and at the same time pay just tribute for services already performed." Disgrace to his Country. It appears that there is a man represent ing the United States at Ualifax, as a Con sul, by the name of Pillsbury, from Maine, who refused to raise the American flag at the American Consulate, upon the day of there- cf a President of the .Uni ted States—an omission which has probably never before happened- The stars and stripes did float, however, over the consulate—plac ed there by especial permission of the owner of the building, and not by the orders of the United States officer, who meanly takes pay for services rendered, in an official fetation while virtually countenancing the doings of the traitors who are endeavoring to break down the government. The flag was put up by M,r. Cjqise. a pafrjiotic'Ainerican citizen residing at Halifax. Mr. Pillsbury refused to raise the national flag, not only upon in auguration day, but also upon the recent an niversary of Washington's birthday. "Hus tle him out!"— Telegraph.

Want of Patriotic Education. Io investigating the various causes which ; have produced the demoralisation which now threatens to destroy the influence of our free ; government upon the progress of civilization in the world, we should not ignore the fact j that no systematic efforts have been made to | inculcate a warm feeling of patriotism in hearts of the people. We have but few mon uments to keep before the eyes of the com munity the great and unselfish deeds of those who have done most for the glory of the coun try, and, who have passed to their reward ; we have hut few national hoilidays, and what we have are rarely celebrated in such away as to improve the minds and morals of the people, and to increase their devotion to the good and the honor of their native land; and, what is perhaps of more importance than either monuments or holidays, we have no instutiuns which hold out a sure reward and appreciation for truly useful and meritorious efforts. We have nothing to excite honora ble ambition in the minds of the .young, nor anything calculated to stimulate effort and perseverance in those things which tend to elevate mankind, and to make men wiser, better and happier oitizens of our great Re public. The degrading worship of "the omnipotent dollar" has cauterized the minds and souls of men, and rendered then* callous to every gen erous emotion, and regardless of their coun try's welfare, vjjhere selfish interest prompts them to depart from the path of duty and pa triotism. It is folly to neglect to recognize the fact that men are in a yery great meas. ure creatures of the circumstances in which they are placed, and by which they are edu cated, and when they are surrounded by temptations to vice and depravity, breathing I a noxious atmosphere, and have no powerful incentive to spur them on to virtuous and noble deeds, it is not to be hoped that their morals should improve. The youth of our country grow up amongst men whom they see on all sides sacrificing conscience, honor, and self-respect, to gain wealth, power, and j influence, and they do not see that the wise, | the virtuous, and the useful amongst them ! are appreciated and encouraged according to I their deserts. Without money, or official position, the mos: worthy are left to pine in obscurity, whilethe unscrupulous and unprincipled gain places of henor ard profit. In a word, the rewards of society are given to the avari cious and depraved, while there is nothing but cold neglect for the virtuous and worthy. In our moral and social affairs we have adopted the laissezmoi falre piinciple, which leaves every one to pursue the bent of his own inclinations. Is it possible that so enlightened a people as we are can do nothing btit provide' pun ishment for the grosser forms of vice and crime ? We know that intelligence, indus try and good morals are of incalculable ben efit to a community, and that without these things we cahnos hope for permanent pros perity and good order, and yet we have ut terly neglected to provide suffioient incen tives to induce men to lore virtue and to de spise vice. There are two great inslrumentalities which exercise an overwhelming influence upon the sentiments and conduct of the peo ple. These are education and amusement; and if these were systematically combined, and accompanied by the certainty of a prop er meed of public praise for those who strive to improve themselves is what is good and useful, the current which is now carrying us to perdition might be diverted, and caused to run in the direction of a haven of peace, pros perity and virtue. JBSjg"" The Washington news are not as in teresting this week as usual. Nothing has yst been done with Foit Sumpter. It will, however, be abandoned, we think, in the course of a week or.so. The Administration is pursuing a pacific policy, and evidently desires to conciliate the rebels. In the dis tribution of the public patronoge, Pennsyl vania has thus far been almost entirely over looked. Mr- Seward, it is said, works hard to defeat the Pennsjlvanians and does it out of spite, thinking in this way to have revenge on them for detesting jhjm for the nomina tion at Chicago. Thar is a poor way to get them to go for him the next time, we should think- Uncle Abraham should see to it that Pennsylvania is properly served. He is in debted to this State,both #or bis nomination and election. Jt will never do to ignore the elaims of Pennsylvania. flQy* Messrs. Salt & Mear, No. 15G & North Fourth St. Philadelphia, manufacture rs of yellow and Rockingham Ware, and Importers and Dealers in White, Iron, Stone, Glass atid Queensware, show their enterprise by advertising in our columns and we re spectfully suggest to our merchant readers and patrons that they should remember those who show a desire for their custom by invi ting an examination of their wares through the paper which represents their own town qnd county.

They are decidedly.a choice article—the best we havo smoked for a kng lime. Mr. Pratt is the gonor of this •hardsome present. He is a thorough-bred gentleman, and we would advise all who Are fond of gpod smoking to try Mr. Pratt's ci gars. We are inlortrfed that a Bill for a new appropriation to the Farmers High School will shortly be offered' in the Legislature.-- Hon. Jas. T. Hale and Mr. McAllister are now at Ilarrisburg working for its passage. We-canDot tell whether we will be for the Bill or not—we must see it first. For the Centre Democrat. I see in your last issue, an editorial expo sing the false position taken by the Bench* ter. As the Berichter has went to some trou ble to create the impression that the affairs of the county are so Hadly managed that the only resource left to the Democratic side is to have a new county formed out of Miles, Ilaines, Reno, Gregg, Potter, Harris and Ferguson Townships, ( and, of course, placed under the control of democratic officers, ) it is but fair that tbs opinions of citizens who differ from Fred, Kurtz, should also be beard on the subject. A careful examination of the expendi tures of Centre County for the last twenty years, reveals the fact that the affairs of the County have never been administered with the same economy in any other hands, that has characterized the Board of Commission ers ever since a majority of it became Re publican ; and this is easily accounted for when we remember that the candidates of the Republican party are seleoted by the people for their honesty and capacity j in stead of being ctosen by the leaders of the party for their aptness to prostitute their of fice to political purposes, as has always been the case under Democratic rule. From the lowest petty Township officer up to the President of the United States, we find democratic offioers following the same system of plunder, extravagance and oppression, un til, at this day, we find our Government, once the greatest and mightiest government of the world, brought to "bankruptcy, ruin, and political dismemberment, a sad andlast ! ing commentary on the extravagance and ; corruption of the Democratic party, who have plundered the taxpayers of half the revenue | of che country, and used it in corrupting and enriching its satellites and hangers on. The day has gone by when a venal demo cratic paper can gull the taxpayers of old Centre and induce them to pay taxes to keep up a political organization to rob them, and Mr. Kurtz evidently feels this in its full ; force or he would not be so anxious to have j the old county dismembered and a new coun ; ty formed out of such townships as have not } yet been fully awakened to the enormous ex j travagance and corruption of the present j Democratic party ; he evidently fears that if I we remain as we now are the Republican | papers published at Bellefonte will be gradu ally scattered through his pet democratic townships, and he knows if such Should be the case, that the darkness in which he has long sought to enshrtui us will be dispelled before the light of truth, knd dishonesty and all hope of Democratic plunder would have to be abandoned, and he, perforce, be com i pelied either to advocate the cause of truth ! and Honesty or betake himself to some other section of the country where his Plutonic pa tron still held eway. The Republican party is the party of the people, and especially of the taxpayer, and so long as we haye tax to pay we will be opposed to the formation of a county that would exclude Republicans from the admin istration of its affairs and place them in the hands of a party "whose extravagance and ut ter want of principle has been so fully and fearfully developed, not only to our cost, but to the cost of our natfon and country. We have heretofore been opposed to the erection of a new lail as a matter of economy, ! but a higher sense of economy now demands | that we should have one immediately as that ! would forever settle the question of the divi sion of the couDty, and we would rather pay ! double our proportion of the tax necessary for its erection than to be saddled with a one , horse Democratic County and its attendant ! train of extravagance and corruption. The Printer's Estate. The printer's dollars 1 Where are they ? A dollar here and a dollar there, scattered ,11 .1 jv • over numerous small towns, all ever the country, miles and miles apart—how shall they be gathered together? The type foun der has his hundreds of dollars against the printer ; the paper maker, the building own er, the journeyman compositor, the grocer tho tailor, and all assistants to him in carry ing on bis business, have their demands, hardly ever so small as a single dollar. But the mites from bere and there must be dili gently gathered and patiently hoarded, or the wherewith to discharge the large tills will never become bulky. We imagine the printer will have to get up an address to his widely scattered dollars, something like the following: "Dollars, halves, quarters, dimes, and all manner of fractions into which ye aje divided, collect yoirselves and come home ! Ye are wanted ! Combinations of all sons of men, that help the printer to be come a proprietor, gather in such force and demand with such good reasons yo*r appear ance at his counter, that nothing short of a sight of you will appease them. Collect yourselves, for valuable as you are in the ag gregate. single you will never pay the cost of gathering. Come in here In single file, that the printer may form jou into a battal ion, anijl send you forth again to battle for him and vindicate his feeble credit." Read er, are you sure you hav'Dt a couple of the printer's dollars sticking about some of your clothes ? ££s°" The Poco Metallic Paint advertised in our columns to day, claims the attention of builders and painters and in fact everybody owning property that can be beautified and and preserved by painting. The cheapness, durability and superiority claimed for this paint makes an investigation of its merits a matter of great importance and we trust that some of our enterprising business men will make the examination and if so meritorious an article, benefit our community by its im mediate introduction. Mr. Iloupt desires an Agent in every town. jggy-We haye crowded-out our editorial matter this week to make room for an arti cle that will -be found in another column. It was written by an old and well known citi zen of this county, and every one should read it. After this week we shall not devote much of our columns to the discussion of the ques tions of a new county. We think we have already given satisfactory reasons why .this county should not be divided. It is not any too large, neither is it too expensive. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. STATE OF THE NATION.

NY THE BARD OF TOWEIS HALL. A lady fair, before me walked On Chestnut street ene day, Arrayed in Fashion's ''latest styles," Their beauties to display. In satin robed, as on she went, ' Wirtr proud and haughty mein, Iler skirts were trailing at her heels, • And swept the pavement clean. I thought I'd notice, when she stepped ' Upon a cross-walk near. : What she had g'eaned with trailing skirts— -1 I'll note the gleaniags here. Her skirts .beside the curb, stone left !; .The sweepings of a square — I, T'obacco-qqids, cigar-slumps foul, And orange-skins were there, Mixed up with shavings, paper, straws, ' And many kinds of dirt, , . Such as should ne'er in contact come With any lady's skirt. Reform must come, and hanish hence A style devoid of taste— * Then men wont tread on women's skirts, And tear them from the waist; For they'll not dray, but neatly hang, In graceful folds to. swing, As free froib Aohtact with the earth, As is a bird's bring wing. j ■ Let tidy wives bo thus arrayed, ■ And happy husbands, all, He dressed with taste, in raiment hue.
