The Chevalier Forney Paying off His
. Debts to the Republican Party.
The Chevalier Forney is doing his utmost,
to defeat the union of the Pennsylvania De
ineeraey upon thu fusion electoral ticket re
cently agreed upon among the leaders of the
two factions in Ci nvention. Thus Forney,
in the interest of the Republican managers,
labors to divide the Pennsylvania Democracy
for the benefit of J.incoln. Although the
Republical Clerk of the House of Represen•
Wives, elected in part for his services to
them.two years ago, and in part for his ex
pected services in this campaign, he still
wears the cloak of Democracy and signs
Democratic principles. All this mockery.
however, is so plain that it can deceive no
body. Forney has been bought and paid
for, to a great extent, in itdvance. Ile is
working out his debt to the Republican par
ty.. See the report of the Covodo Commit
tee. He, Forney, is no more a Democrat.
Douglas man or otherwise, than John Hick
man. The only difference is, that Hickman
has confessed his adhesion to the Republican
WNW, white Forney prefers the part of a spy
In the Democratic camp. Hickman is enti
tled to some respect for his honesty, while
P'orney should be dispised on all sides for
his impudent knavery. —N. Y. Herald.
/4.1N001.31 AND TUN T•strr.—Before Con
gress adjourned, • distinguished member of
the United States Senate sent a copy of the
Morrill Tariff Bill to Abraham Lincoln, with
the request that be would give it his en
dorsement and return it. It was desirable
to place him right upon the record so far as
Pennsylvania's interests are concerned, but
he was not disposed to be thus caught. lie
h•s not been heard from since upon the sub
ject. and, we suppose, intends to keep the
bill in his pocket until after the election.--
Can the Republican papers fell us why Mr.
-Lincoln don't endorse the tariff measure
k which the Republicans think is necessary to
%ie salvation of the country
Who is
• Our readers will bear in mind that last
I' •
week we . endeavored to answer this questio : n,
as' ell as enlighten the people of the Canute
in regard to the political standing of a few
would be Democrats and disorganivers. Ira C. I I
Mitchell, Esq., from whom en miort confess
that we expected better things, atmcars to I
be the ring leader. .Presenting a degree of
boldness, he comes forward as:the gresf
mogul of the Democratic party, tq rescue it
from the " monstrous proposition" of the
State Rxecutive Committee. Re r his issued
his manifesto to the people, Bet* forth his
principles in the form of a cirentir, and has
already begun the work of disprgrinization
in the County. The plan is to park the
Democratic Coneentlon, with men, whb will
be as much disposed to distract the organi•
cation of the party as himself, and this is to
be accomplished by a secret system of po
litical chicanery. It is true that Mr. Mitchell
in a letter in another dildtrin domes this, hitt
he has openly avowed himself favorable to
Lincoln, rather than accept the eqmpromise
measures of the State Executive Committee.
All his arguments, and reasoning, inure to
the benefit of the Black Republicans, and
any inflUence which he . can make elle'ctual,
indirectly aids the opposition. With a sm•
gular unanimity the Democratic', ro
ress, every
where in Pennsylvania, agopted he comp•

in the State, and these exceptions have been
headed by the editor of the Philadelphia
Press—the Black+ Republican Clerk of the
'louse of Representatives. There arc a num

CAD refuse to endorse this ninon policy with
an honest sentiment at ht••ri . . is : a
mstter to
be questioned. We prefer any Itemocrat to
a Black Republicaa. If a sectional fanatr

is to spring up against the institutions of
the South. we should prefer to meet that
Abolition sentiment, fighting under that poi
ley which would be Most likely to insure the
peace and prosperity of our happy country

To say the least, both nominations are
entitled to respect, ;Ind it would be an odious
discrimination to the masses to reject the
proposition of the State Executive Commit
tee. If Mr. Douglas has a majohly `Of the
Democratic vote, we are sill ng he should
receive it, if Mr Breckenridge has a insjori•
ty, then we can see no good reason why he
should nit receive it. This is the spirit of
the compromise winch 1111/4 been opposed by
Mr Mitchell, with so much vehemence and
denunciation, and at a tune too when no
other earthly feature of availability presents
oself With Mr Mitchell's private opinions
we have nothing here to do If he prefers

or everr4dr Lincoln, we shall concede his
right to do so, but in any work of disorgan

Great Distress in Centre.
The Centre Democrlit of the
. 16th inst.,
speaks of' a tremendous excitement almost
everywhere. I t says that Col. W. W.
Brown, " bi g Joke Stover," James Fleteiter
Riddle, Ral.,-togeTher with the Talented Ma
jor Brisbin, addressed a large and enthusi
astic meeting of the ritizons at Stormstown.
Itnmediatelyitfter concluding their speeches
the cry of trouble was heard :abroad in the
land. A call was made in the south eastern
portion ot" the .County for assistance, and
thither they repaired without delay. Know
ing the critical situation Ai affairs, in the
neighborhood of Ilecla Furnace, prompt and
immediate action was necessary to arrest
the incroachments of the enemy. Judge
Pale had also been taken milli a fit of alarm,
and went to ascertain the extent of the dif
ficulty. upon the arrival of the delegations
from Stortnstown, Bellefonte, and various
other points within the linnts of the County
'al the t' never to be forgotten Hyde," the
excitemenh.very naturally subsided, Ilow
mightily Col. Brorand Major limbo), and
a host of other illus.trious Colonels and Ma
jors' elt relieved after a regular stampede'
ma* of more than *twenty miles across the
County, when they found Col. Gregg en
gaged in reading Frank P. Blair's speech at
the obi school house to a few of the faithful.
Whether or not,the emmy seas routed before
ibis re-enforcement came up, we are• not in
formed, lint it appears that Judge Hale was
determined that the chase should not be
given up So he mothAed the rostrum, and
endeavored to rally Ins soldiers around the
Mile resolution, against which point the
enemy had been making some inroads.
Then one after another the Black Republi•
eons came forward, and declared that .‘ ji I r
1111111 :o airy human in in,, , " was the doctrine,
and they meant to sustain it. They would
have this motto illSeilblqi on their banners,
mid would march forward a heoling l'anhee
Iheidle, trying to keep step to the music of
the rti h itt.solotion of the Chicago Platform
lint fraN were entertained lest the oh/ , (serve
; :word of the American arty would come
forward and give them ''an old tishioned
Waterloo defeat, and well they might enter
tam such appri !lemons.
Now there is but one way to explain this
marching and counter-marching - this speak
ing anti it iterating —these furs and appre
hensions - anti that is, there Is a lit the too
much woolly head about Mr. Lincoln, for
the Americans to gulp him down, nigger,
woOl and all, n about a good deal of nausea

Henry D. Foster.
In spite of the ellorLs of John %V. Forney.
says the Pennsylvania Statesman, to carry
a portion of the Democratic votes of Penn
sylvania over to Andrew t; Curtin, our glor
tone nominee for (hit rotor will get the vote
01 every Democrat in the State Spontane
misty immolated by the unanimous vote of
the iteading Convention. and his nomination
ratified slth C11:111ISIASIIII by the party
throughout the commonwealth. Henry D
Foster stands to.lay in a position to com
mand the support of every man who sin
cerely professes devotion to Democratic prin
ciples No factimust, no aspirant, no in
triguer, nt‘mere politician, but ci :en Stal
man of the purest type he seems to be a
legacy from the earlier days of the common
wealth, when our politic men made personal
ambition and private gain subordinate to
the welfare of the Slate.
As is well known, Mr. Foster publicly
withilre* his name from the list of candidates
previous to the meeting of the Reading ('on
vent ion_ Ile did not Sant a nomination for
Governor. The office had no attractrons for
lion It could confer 00 honor upon him :
nor could It till his purse, for a nature 80
pure and litlleifish as his could rover learn
the art of making it pay. But tile people
had marked hnu as I heir man, amt when
the Rending Convention met it responded to
the popular will.
Compelled against his wishes to become
our standard bearer - nominated unanimous
ly by our convention a ith the approbation
of the a hole party throughout the length
and breadth of the State —Henry I) Foster
has a Ile n e upon us all which we cannot
repudiate without dishonor to ourselves
The man who forces himself upon a party
as its candidate, has no right to complain if
he receives but a lukewarm support. But
the roan who is forced by his party to accept
a minimal ion which he sought to decline, is
justly entitled to the best effort which that
party can make for his election.
It will not do for any Democrat, to hang
back from the NU pport of Foster on the
grou hd that he his not declared himself for
this or that candidate for the Presidency
We do not elect a President when we elect a'
Governor. Nor do we want • Governor
who will pay attention to the National spigot
and leave the bunghole of the State to stop
itself We have had enough of that sort al
ready. No questions mere asked bf Foster
when lie was nominated at Reading, and
none should be put to Inni now. For our own
part, we srp in blissful iiiporance of his
Presidential preferences as between Douglas
and Breckenridge, and we are content to
remain so. We know thaT ho his against
Lincoln, and that he is a Democrat and "an
honest man, the noblest work of God," and
that is enough for us.
We call upon all Democrats, and upon
good men of all patties, to save the honor of
the great ofd Ku) stone State by electing
Ilenry D. Foster to the office of Governor.
It is undeniable thatje is both " hottest and
capable." Ills superiority in all respects
over his competitor will be denied by no
candid roan who knows both of them.

evening last. So large were the number
present, that many were obliged to remain

Potter and Dr. Pcteivlhnith Vice Presidents,
and P. Hoffer Secretary. The object df the
meeting was then stated in a brief address
by. the Chairman, after which Wm. 11.
Blair was called out, who' 'rpspil - ded"
masterly and telling speech, and although
he spoke nearly three hours, yet his speech
was listened to throughout with marked
attention, and was frequently and enthusi
astically app . lauded. It was manifest that
the Democrats of Potter were aroused, and
are willing to battle valiantly for the great
and glorious cause of Democracy and against
Black Republicanism.
Col. Blair attributed the unfortunate divi
sion in the Democratic ranks, to the fact of
the Delegates to Charleston and Baltimore,
not having done their duty. Ile likewise
explained his course - as a member of the
Slate Committee' very satisfactorily, and
made an earnest appeal in fiver of the reg

those who follow the advice of-efEat traitor

to pack the County Convention and secure
the election . of Delegates that can be moulded
to my own political purposes. ditstice - to
myself demands that, contrary to my usual
custom of paying no attention to newspaper
charges, I should take some notice.of the im
ptttation thus cast upott me:' Otherwise per
sons might be induced to think that I am a
very bid man j andlinclined todarkunderhand
ed mancrvering, notwithstanding the praise I
have heretofore received in the same columns
that contain this accusation. Now,gentlemen,
you kno4, and
r Lierybody else who has been
at all familiar with me very well knows, that
my political acts• bare all been frank and
open. If I have been guilty of any fault' in
this respect, it has been by expressing too
freely gy views on the political questions
thiksueceatively arise before the American
people. lam prepared to admit that I have
looked fortvard to the approaching Demo
cratic Coiihty Convention with considerable
interest. Regretting, as every honest and
sincere member of the party must regret,
the fact that those who have heretofore acted
together should differ in their support of
Presidential candidates. I have been so
tuated with a fervent desire that those dif
ference's should be kept entirely out of our
County Convention, and prevented from ef
fecting in any way our local organization
avid ticket. Animated with this desire, I
have frankly •urged Democrats wherever I
saw them to send delegates itho would be
true to the best, interests of our party, and
would frown with indignation on any attempt
that might be made to throw a tire brand
into the County Convention7The supporters
of Bouftlas only ask that, while they may be
allowed to support those gentlemen whom
they regard as the nominees of the Demo
cratic party for President and Vico Presi
dent, no action adverse to their ,candidatts
shall be taken by the County Convention.
Let us act together in the election of dele
gates and in the formation of a County tick
et. We can then unite in its support and
secure its triumphant electron To this'ex
tent I may be said to have attempted to pack
the County Convention. Ind to this extent I
may desire the election of delegates who can
'• be moulded to suit my own political pur
poses." is there anything wrong ■bout
such a course ? After we are distracted by
disorganization in our national head is there
anything wrong about endeavoring to pre.
serve harmony in our local Convention I If
so, then lam guilty, But if any person
charges me w ith having any personal mo
tives to gratify in connection with the Con
xtention, or any base purpose to promote,
pronounce it untrue in every respect. In
conclusion I trust we will all labor for the
harmony of the party in State, Distnct and
County elections The respective principles
of Douglas slid Bre•ekinndge being materi
ally-and essentially at variance,' the-Wl:im
porters cannot in my estimation with any
degree of consistency or honor unite upon
one electoral ticket But so long as both are
willing in other cases to su pport Democratic
nominees there is no reason why our t7oun
ty Convention should be distracted by this
division There is no reason why the Con
ventiou should not be ‘• packed' . with dele

party. Snell being my desire I tun

Congress.
Mvistw K iron, As the time is rapidly
approaching Nien the Dtquocracy uf, the
District will be called upon to select some
person as their candidate for Congress, it
seems to me highly propel that tin re should
be some expression of stritiment on the sub
pct. It is very important that the nomina
icons should be made with a due regard to
the rights and wishes of all parts of the
District, in order that we may he harmonious
and nutted In support of the nominee. It is
well known that the exifeme abolition course
pursued by Judge hale during the late sess
ion of Congress, has been highly objections•
ble to the great conservative mass of his
constituents, and his vote upon the Blake
resolution alone would alienate from hirn a
large number of the votes lie received two
)ears ago. It recurs very clear that if we
have a nomination satisfactory to'- all parts
of the District, the Republican candidate
may be defeated without difficulty To do
so woweverthll no doubt require us to com
bine our enure Democratic strength, and
rally as one man in support of the nominee
Now while Old Lycoming can boast of many
bnght. iritellects who would represent us
with`eredit and honor, with a view to party
policy alone, would it be right that we should
I ask for any of our sons the honor of a nomi
nation. Center anti Mifflin have been long
complaining of injustice at the hands of
Clinton and Lycoming, and it cannot be
concealed that their complaints aro not en
tirely destitute of reason. Durii.g the
present apportionment, the two counties last
named have shared between them every
Congressional nomination, and however our
claims may be regarded by the •iscitive De
mocracy of our county, there can be ni doubt
that it would greatly strengthen our party
organisation, and iniproVe our chances at
the election, if we would magnanimously
concede the next nominee to Centre mid
Mifflin, to be settled between them. We
understand that Mifflin will not present a
candidate, but vtlisi t she wit unite with
Centre in urging the nomination of a gentle.
man of large experience, acknowledged abil
ity and unbounded popularity in that portion
of the District where he is best known.—
There are many reasons local, as well as
I personal, why COL. WILLIAM F. REYN
OLDS should be our candidate. If Centre
county should prwient his name to the Dis
trict, as we are informed she pill, the inter.
eats of the party d o ti r iand that It should be
unanimously con eat by every county,
and thus oppose ju go Halo with a gentle.
man in his own town, who is fully Akio to
compete with him and who would much
excel hits in representing the will of his
constWiwts in the National Congress.—
Ilavinelbrown out these introductory re
marks, we hope to bear the matter generally
discussed throughout the District.
