The Anstooraoy of Republicanism
13efore i another issue of our paper, the peo
ple of this State will have been called upon
to decide vihtther a sectional Abolitionism,
or the principles of the great Democratic
party shalrtriumph. In tracing the history
of Pennsylvania, it is a pleasing reflectioh - to
witness the long lire of Democratic Guyer-
not's who have filled the Executive chair of
State. from the time when Thomas Mifflin,
her first Governor, was called upon to preside
over her destiny. Since the year 1790, in
the train, the people have come forward in
favor of Democratic!iinciples, to establish
the perpetuity of this glorious and progres
sive confederation. It is true, that the
Democratic party has been defe c ated, but
such calamitiert to the country have been
rare and chiefly confined to a want of unity
among the Democrats. Not 'until within a
few years did the opposition .ever slicceed
when the friends of the Constitution and the
['mon, under the name Af the Democratic
party, came forward in a single handed con
flict. Tony was the original name of that
party which now opposes us. It opposed us
because of its hostility to our institutions
It sympathized with King George, the third,
fining our Revolutionary struggle, and.to
da - yrllsis same party is identified more with
those.ifistocratic funpathies which consti
tute a monarchy, than they are with any
other benne or policy of Government We
say that this party is identified with aristo
cratic s) inpathies. Much ado is made in !

well. It can never lie sustained upon that
policy which the Black Republican party is
now teaching. "that Government should take
care of the rich and the rich min will take
care of the poor." We say to the farmer—to
the mechanic—to the laboring man every

those privileges which are yours, and the
atiung holds of the enemy will give was—
their towering hattlementa fall asunder, and
the election of olf entire State and County

COLOvrt, Cuartx concedes the credit due
to Gen. Foster. his opponent. for bruit hon
estly a protective sritratan, and even stated
in justice to Oen Foster. that when in Con•
cress. he voted for a tariff for grotection
lany of th hell tuon and many of the Re

is a Wrenn° conclusion.

There is no better test of a inan's.Democ

ticket / If ho 'votes the ticket, fithout

it he does not vote the ticket, the regular
ticket, and the whole ticket• he is, not a
Democrat, no matter what his anteredents
or his present professions tnaj — he. Demo
crats should not look rot uniformity of opin

Wide Awakee l . , —Curtin at Rojo',
In the'days of 114 e reign of terror under
John Adams, it will be remembered that
there passed the alien and seditios
whipping As, dcc, The administratios of
that day passed upon the black cockade,
which was worn by its friends to distinguish
then, limn the vulgar band, as they denom.
inainbthe Jillfelrsoo party. Then we had in
1812 the Peace party with blue lights. Hart
ford Conventionista, to • separate the Onion.
Then, we had the klesnean War, which Tom.
Corwin (Col Curtin's particular friend who
was taken to' Philadelphia by that gentle
man to speak for him) deionneed on-the floor
of o"ongress, and was wiling to welcome our
soldiers whi; bloody hands to hospitable
graves. We have had tie John Brown raid
—the Ilarper's Ferry Inturrectlon—and now
we have our ton Illumnipled by The "Wide
Awakes," clothed in the liveryuf their nine
tern, rinn4hing throtigh our streets and mak
ing night hideous with the shouts of their
Anticipated triumph. This might do in the
servile couniiies (4, Europe. but it is repul
sive to the testi) and feelings of our American
citizens, We may however, gather a little
instruction from the declaration of this or
der, inflated as it, is with the same princi
ples on' the Alavery question which Foment'
inspired o ld John Mown at Horper's Ferry.
On last Zia tunisy evenktg we had a beau
tiful exhibition tril these "Wide Awakes."—
Theyturned out to give col. Curtin a public
reception, clothed in all the trappings of
ilmt order which to to distinguish them above
tl, common walks of ordinary men. The
Col. addressed them at his residence and ea-
Tbreitagtirtlierilln-be falthrul. lie spoke in
glowing colors of the compliments whiehhad
•
been extended to him by the Indies, and was
rather eloquent over the luxury of kissing,
which he Ae.ins to enjoyed totts tune of not
less than fire thousand. He sail that he haw
nn reasons for the Republicansof Bellefonte
to lie discouraged. and was gratified beyond
ini &here to witness this manifestation are•
gird from his neighbors. He said that Tin
chi ruccess of his own drawn depended the
i t / Me Lincoln. If Pennsylvania was
canted in favor of the RePubtienns in Octo
ber, it multi be just an easily carried in favor
of On m in November, and the result would
be the tunnel; point in thesenle of their pol
lutes. lie spoke of the • Pnikaid letter, '
and the ' Dutch skull story," but he didn't
deny even the one or the other Afitr en
tenanting the " Wide Awakes " for wino
time, lie thanked them for their kind wen

Now that the election is near at hand, be.
ing but a few days distant, it behooves eve
ry Democrat in this county tolhe on the alert
and see that his friends are mindful of their
obligations to their cooniry. The elective
franchise, as enjoyed in this country. le the
-greatest blessing that free men can enjoy,
and every one should be careful that ho uses
it in such a way as will be most beneficial
to his country and to his fellow man. Eve
ry legal voter should inform hittisqf upon
the different iSRIIO3 of the day, and having so
informtdlitnself, should proceed to prepare
for himself the ballot which he intends to
deposit. Ile 'should not depend altogether
upon the advice of hiring& but hay-, some
judgment of his own, as to which of the itr
suesswould benefit himself and the counth'
the most, and is hich set of candidates would
be moat likely to carry out hie views in case
of their election.
But in these modern times politics have
got to be a business, and a great many have
gotten to deposit their votes for the man who
can gire them the moat money, or tlirt ono
who will make them the loudest protiiises.
No person will deny that the effect of all this
tends to the debasing of the elective fran
chise, and making it instead of a blessing, a
curie to the country. Therefore let every
