Weed when self-government was regarded'
p 1 an obsolete idea, the pecan developed, by.
high and judicious argurnent, the -great
truth, that by its freedora, justice could
only be subseeved, and truth fairly promul
gated. Times and eakoms, however, change
with localitiete —rind it hate been reserved for
a borough in Pennsylvania, to countenance
brutal attempts to gag the conductors of an
independent journal, beeetiao they boldlYmt
tend the truth, and impartially published
extracts front the records of the courts of
justice. When ever any class of men, ar e
rogate4o themselves exclusive princiPles of
virtue, and erect a standard by which to
judge the morals of their fellows, it becomes
the duty of a free press to act accordingly,
and narrowly scan their movements. But
this right iv questioned M Bellefonte. It irs
questioned by the street brawler and the cor
ner bully—it is questioned and denied by the
very men who are prolific in their pratings
of principle and professions of piety. 'And
why I not that they are convinced that the
rause of temperance or morality will he
ehemaged by discussion, but they aro fearful
that an exposure of the rule which has dis
graced Centro county for tile past few.ytern,
will teed to the exhibition of their ono
shame and dishonesty. The the free,
bold and independent press, slime, can ae
eomplish this—and whoever doubts the fact,
will be at mice convinced by the desperate .
conduct of those tt bo ,suffer most by the
Tioni - St toiie of the uemacratic Watchman.
We alluded, last week, in what we il.-'ent
ed manly terms, to the manner' in nhich
holy cause was being abtreetl, and justice
Rubverted, in the mad rare of fanaticism for
notoriety anti pay. Ter4eerance comes next
to religion—Fit ibis* is that temperance of
speech, that :tempemnee of conduct, and a
oharite:oie temperance, which far becomes
a man better than any temperance of ap.
petite. We considered it a duty, becalm.
the very principles vehicle were M jeopardy,
and the men who were sedulously laboring
to bring disgrace on the cause of morality,
are the same who boast most of their own
perfection in tho light of tey, but who in
the dark, become darker than tho blackest
Centre county has suffiTed grievout.ly
by such hypocrisy—alto has been disgraced
by its contaminating influence—her people
have been drained of their resources by its
OutYriptiem and extravagance—and as the
hour of ref' ihntion approach.", the &ape
mit') is hissed on, !leis stationed at the street
c-rneres, M disturb the public peace, and
outrage the good sense of the community,
by disturbing the peaceable passage of
peaceable citizens. There is more ins these
asiertions than most of our readers can
imagine—move real design to hide sin and
shame On most men think exist—entimore
of that ft 11-spirit of persecution and black
guardisth, than exists in any otterr part of
the broad State of Pennsylvania.
The freedom of the press, so far as this
humble sheet is concerned, shall be main
tained with all the:spirit and ability becom
ing men and•vt'e do not care where the cur
, caption may be, or who may deserve public
censure for a public dereliction of duty, still
the freedom of the press must be vindicated.
We are not to be intimidated by a small
clique of Bellefonte store-lohngera, nor will
we be moved by the retailers of scandal. To
our militia, our delegated duty is plain—nod
the people whom we are pledged to servo
and vindicate are of the industry and intel
ligence of the county, and have already
frowned down_the_last effort to meek a free
press.

the proceedings or th; uiiited States - senate,
We perceive that lion. J. - P. Benjamin, Whig
Senator from Atonislana, of i Friday last
avoleedhis determination to support licmsfttr
the Democratic, As the only party whose
principles an him d upon the constitution.
We make tom - ( ollowIng extract from his
speech :
"In ehndetuning the Amirican party, ht
remarked that It was now ism erless, for
anght but mischief and lei help the Republi
can party, the contest being narrowed down
between the latter and the Democracy , and
the Whig party being extinct, he declared
his purpose to he to join the Democratic
party, and to use his utmost alerts to en
sure its success, following the example of
bettei• and abler men than nimself. lie pre
dicted that in its triumph the Constitution
Mould be secured, good feeling restored,
intolera n c e rebuked. the equality of the
States maiiitained, the corner stone of the
governmental fabric preserved intact, and
' , met, and happiness be made to smile upon
the land."
WI, SRM TIIAT AItrIANGKYKKT3 have been
made by which parties wig) wish to see the
land of 'the Ridgeway Company can go at
one time. A stage leaves Tyrone every
Wednesday morning. We would suggest
that persons who cannot go themselves would
appoint a Committee. It will be a beatitiful
any}
.intrresting trip, and from all wo hear
we believe that visitors will be well aatisfled
and highly gratifksl. It is much better to
settle in our own State, where it is healthy,
and a good cast' market, than emigrating to
the far West. It is claimed Unit tide is 114
good as any Western land, being limoatone
Boil, and being underlaid with bituminous
coal. Parties can easily satisfy themselves,
and we recommend licto \

The acts of the mob were wanton and'

through the coaches until she found the
runaway couple, quietly seated side by side.
She upbraided the man for running away
from his lawfully-wedded wife, ilidinitisted
that he should leave the cars at& return
with her. This the husband stoutly refused
to do, when the wife appealed
doctor, and produced the necessary vouchers
of her identity. Ihe conductor, with much
good sense, decided that a woman was
entitled to her husband, and inforrited the
man that he would be under the necessity of
delivering him over to l.he custody of his
better half. By thislime the passengers had
gathered around, and the scene! became ex.

persisted in retaining him. The tears and

string, stopped the tram,ejected the husband
from the ear, and delivered him to his wife,
several passengers holuing on to the other
woman, who made the most desperate en

get on the cars after they wore in motion,
but was unable to do ao in consequence of
the tight grasp of the wife onto his coattails.
The last that wag seen of the pair they were

was the cause of the trouble, seas carried out

1836, Fix months, after it was 'lstartcd, it
reached a male or 9,331, and in 1837 attained '

to 16,895 in 1844. Tim enlargement of the
sheet the next year raiikd its circulation to
22,071. There was an increase df nearly
3,00) the next yeart and tint Popularity of
its opposition to Cluisot the year after gave
it 7,000 more. But it was' of till after the

of the slaty tax, and the great increlyie in
the circulation of all the journals which fob"
