Democratic watchman. (Bellefonte, Pa.) 1855-1940, August 30, 1860, Image 2

The second resolution stands inflexibly
upon this proposition. Our Government has
done znuels, from our-earliest history, to pro
toct the lives and the pcoiterty of its citizens
on its public domain. Where are our or-
oriel; sent ? To protect our Territories
For what I To protect persons and proper
ty, and nothing else. The citizens of our
'I erritolics who have been enytroned by
Induin foes, and have fought their way
thiough Indian wars, realize the importance
of tilts protection. Why was our Navy sent
to Paraguay? It was on account of a citizen
of one of the free States—a citizen of Rhode
Island. It wss a case of offence to proper
ty ; and the Navy was scut there in order
thatilur government might do its duty in
protecting that property. A Government is i
derelict to the very, purpose of its institution;
it is de-elicit to its obligations to the indi- I
v 'dual citizen, if it fails or hesitates in acting
promptly to protect the property as well as
the person of that citizen.

place for ninny years We have spent ni ar•
all our life in this county, and have seen
many large and enthusiastic Itetnociatic
meetings, but one larger or more barroom- I
oils, it has seldom been our pleasure to see.
The Court House presented an immense
throng of people in short, was crowded al
most to its utmost capacity Able speeches
were delivered on the various questions i,l
the campaign by Israel Test, Esq , of Clear
field, Hon. C II Shriner, of Lewisborg,:and
Judge Fleming, of Williamsport. The De•
mocracy have truly become"aroused, and are
pushing forward the good work in real earn
est It is determined not to increase the
bleach, but to unite in strength against the
common enemy of all conservaties the Ab
olltion Republican party. There wan no
desire on the 'part of any one to introduce
any thing which was not acceptable, and in
accordance with the_spird of commlemise,
adopted by the State Esecti•e Comittee,
The meeting was enlivened by music from
the Bellefonte Brass Band, and adjourned at
a very late hour, with three cheers for the
Ilon Ilenry Foster We regret that the

any Democrat can refuse lo endorse; and
they look upon the ticket as one. of thebest
ever nominated in thin County, and one
which stands a very fair chance of an elec t
lion. We cannot speak now particularly - for'
each candidate ; it is enough to say that the
ticket is composed of such) men as will fill

SCHOOL EXAMINATION —•W?had the Ijtcr
sure during our stay at Zion, to be preterit
at the examination of the select school, taught
by our young friend, Prof. 11. Y. &masa,
which came off on Thursday Evenidg last in
that place. We regret we have not time to
notice it as we would wish for want of time
—but suffice to say, that the examination,
was a very creditable one, and calculated
to create a great interest in the parents for
the success of the SchoOl. Thd compositions
read by tho scholars would have done credit
to older heads, and the singing rendered gen
eral satisfaction. Prof. Stitzer is a success•
ful teacher and desires the countenance and
encouragement of that community.
