Remember the same unserupulous foe that kas battled ogainst the principles of De- moeracy for years is to be met in a few weeks. — Beready friends to mect the enemees of our glo- ‘rious, free institutions, in such a way as will do ‘honor to American citizens fighting for the preservation of theur dearest rights. or Since our first side was printed oft, Capt. M’Allister’s Militia company has ar- rived at home, and among them our prin. ters. We shall, consequently, employ such force as will enable us to issue a whole sheet next week. cremate mena A Alpert tona i Withdrawal of Mr. Reynolds. We are sorry to announce to the Demo, cracy of this Congressional District and of this County in particular, that WirrLiam F. ReyNoLps, of this place, whose name has been flying at our mast-head for several weeks past, and who was nominated, by an in formal meeting of the Democracy, held at Lock Haven, on Wednesday last, as the candidate of the straight.out Democracy of this District, for Congress, Zas withdrawn from the contest. ; Thus the underhanded attempt of the op- position to cheat the Democrats out of a candidate, and to place them in a false pos sition before the country, has been only too successful ; ‘and the poor, cringing ~ wretches of our own party who have been so base as to play into the hands of Aboli- tion niggerism and sell their glorious old birthright for a pitiful mess of Republican pottage, may hide their diminished heads in shame and cry or'the mountains and rocks to fall oni them and hide them from the awakened wrath of an outraged constituens cy whose hearts are too honest to hold the baseness that lies hidden away down in the innermost depths of the souls of the pitiful poltroons who have heretofore claimed to be their leaders. ee ee) Aree ems Look Qut For False Circulars. The opposition driven to madness will flood the County with Circulars full of mat. ter reflecting upon our Candidates. Do not belicve a word of them, they are got up to defeat honest Union loving men, who are now the standard bearers of the Democracy. Again we say look out for false Uirculars, if their contents were true we would have seen them before this. As this may be the last opportunity we will have to notice our ticket before the elec- tion, we wish once. more. to impress upon the party who and what our nominees are, and the importance of carrying them tri. umphantly through the coming struggle be- tween the gallant Democracy and the Abo- lition hordes who are evem naw pressing down to the contest with a fierce determina- tion to overthrow everything in their path- way. - First upon the list, we have Isaac SLENKER, our candidate for Audi tor General. Mr. SLENKER has long been identified with the Democracy as one of its most vigilant and active supporters, Weigh- ed in the balance of politcal principle, he has never been found wanting in integrity, but has ever been a just, conscientious, up- right and truthful man, Firmly attached to the Union and the Constitution of our fa‘hers, as they were in days gone by, be fore political fanaticism had undermined the firm foundation upon which they rested in proud security, he has never failed to de- fend them against all assaults with an ability possessed by few, and with an eloquence which seldom fails to carry conviction to the minds of all who hear him. Mr. SLEN~ KER is a citizen of Union county, and only a short time since was the Democratic can- didate for President Judge of that District. He was, however, defeated by a very small majority, which shows his popularity even in that benighted region of Republi canism. Janes P. BARR, the gallant editor of the Pittsburg Post, is our candidate for Survey- or General. Well known to the masses of the people throughout the State, it is scarce- ly necessary for us to say anything in his favor. Bold and fearless in his advocacy of what he believes to be right, a man ot great ability and a Democrat of the purest mate rial and the wost unblemished fame, his election to the Surveyor Genegralship of Pennsylvania is what every man should strive for with his whole heart, mind and strength. - Therefore, with SLENKER and Barr as our State Ticket and leaders of our gallant hosts, let Democrats close up the ranks with a fall determination to follow them to a glorious victory. For Congress, we are without a candidate. The machinations of unprincipled men in our Conference, defeated a nomination, and to day the Democracy of this District are outsiders and lookers-on in the game that is about to be played for Congressional honors. This is humiliating, and the contemptible demagogues who have produced this result, should be kicked out of the party for their base treachery. There are, nevertheless, two candidates in and W. H. ArnstrONG, of Williamsport.— The first, an independent Republican, the other the regular candidate of the party and the idol of the Abolitionists. Between these two, we presume, Democrats will be compelled to cheose, orelse not vote at all. We do not wish to advise them what to do, but we do feel like telling them what they had better not do, In any emergency, we hope they will not cast their votes for ARM- stroNG ! Ile is as black an Abolitionist as the sun shines on, ard is utterly unworthy of the vote of any man who loves his coun- try. He is a ¢ higher law” man, and is in favor of trampling ander foot the glorious old Constitution of our. fathers. Demo- crats, whatever you do, don’t vote for ARM. STRONG ! Roeerr F. BARRON, our candidate for As- sembly, is well known to the people of this county. His course at the last session is too fresh in the minds of the people to need any comment at our hands. He is an hon- est, upright, gentlemanly maa, in every way lower branch of the next Legislature. His election is scarcely doubted. Tor Commissioner, we have WILLIAM Furey, of this place. Modesty, perhaps, ought to prevent us saying too much in his praise. But this much we can say with propriety : he is a ¢ Democrat indeed, in who their is no guile.” tle has fought in the ranks of the party all his life, and has never, heretofore, asked -any office: at its hands. He has always, under all circum- stances, been a firm and, consistent Demos crat and, if elected, will make an honest and, we believe, efficient officer. We ask for him the support of all.good Democrats. Of Captain WiLLiAM H. BLAIR, the can- didate for District Attorney, it is superflu- the field, Hon. James T. HALE, of this place, qualified to represent this county in the |- Democraticand Republican tickets, of course his election is bevond all doubt. No one feels disposed to vote against a gallant sols dier, who is'now away periling bis life on the battlefields of his country. For Auditer, we have WiLrLiaxm J. KeALsH, a gentleman very well known in this coun. ty. His election is a foregone conclusion, and as Aunu:tor, he will do credit to the sta- tion and to the good sense of the people who will elezt him to that position. For County Surveyor, ALEXANDER KERR has been put in nomination. lle is an hon- est Pennsvalley farmer, and is well qualified to fill the position for which he has been nominated. There, Democrats of Centre county, is our ticket. Are you not proud of it, -and will you not do your best to elect it? We hope, we know you will. We believe you to be too patriotic and too great lovers of your country to suffer such a noble ticket. to be defeated through lack of exertion on your part. Then be up and doing. Work with all your might, and the result will be a glorious victory in October, gratifying to every true-hearted patriot. ———eeeenG lO Democrats of “0ld Centre,” By the ac'ion of a few political poltroons and canal jobbers, who succeeded in preven- ting the nomination of a Democrat, you have been left without any candidate for Congress. You have been crowded *¢ clean’ off the “ track,” and, from present appear- ances, will have no say in the coming con- test for Congressional representation. Whether or not there will be an independ- ent Democratic candidate in the field, we are not prepared to say. For our part, we are not among those who deem it *¢ expedi ent” to let go our organization and assist the opposition to ride over us. We are not among those who believe it will be a Dem- ecratic triumph to elect a Republican over a Republican, nor are we among those who believe that principle should be set aside and policy only looked to 1n times like these. No, we believe if ever there was a time when Democratic principles, pure and un. tarnished, should be battled for, that time 18 NOW ; we believe if ever there was a time when the people should be represented m Congress by true ana tried Democrats, that time is Now ; we believe if ever there was a time when the organization of the good, old, time-honored Democratic party should be kept up, that time 1s Now ; we believe if there is any hope for our bleeding, broken, distracted country, that hope is in the party which has protected and defended it from the time of the Revolution until the inaugu ration of Abram Lincoln, and what is to be gained by giving up the chances for the elec~ tion of a Democratic candidate to any Re publican or Abolitionist, we cannot see. DON'T BE DECEIVED. The times demand that every man should remember the responsibilities that rest upon him! We never passed an election so vital to| the interests of the great future of our bleed- ing country, as the coming October elec~ tion,— on it rests the weal or woe ot all we hold dear. Every man should approach the ballot box feeling the deepest respon - sibility. Every one should realize that on his vote rests the supremacy of the consti- tution and the Union, ; Don’t be deceived by the pretended no- party papers and speakers, don’t be de- ceived by those who vote abolition, and up- hold all of its pestiferous doctrines, and then come out before the people pretending that they are nc disciples of, Greely.

JH. ARMSTRONG was nominated by the Abo- lition party, for the purpose of carrying out * their damnable scheme to break up this Government, and found in its place a des- “ potism, with Joby Gs Fremont, ‘as dicta tor. DON'T FORGET that Ww. H. Afton says : ** the Union should be restored OVER not =nder the Constitution, and thatsin times like these we should let ge our hold on if and ah new ones for the present emergency.’ DON'T FORGET that W. H. ARMSTRONG is the sworn political friend of Davy Wila mot, who says: * he will vote for the party THAT WILL SEND THE COUNTRY TO HELL THE QUICKEST !” provided he can not force his detestable doztrines of awal~ gamation upon the people. DON’T FORGPT that W. H. ARMSTRONG voted to repeal the tonnage tax on. the Pennsylvania Railroad thus robbing the treasury of HALF A MILLION DOLLARS annually, and fastening it as a tax upon the laboring people of Pennsylvania. DON’T FORGET that he is in favor of purchasing the niggers of the South at three hundred dollars per head, which will cost the poor;white men of the North Hundreds of mail tons of Dollars more. DON’T FORGET that W. H ARMSTRONG voted to permit Wendell Phillips who says he has ‘¢ labored nineteen years to take nineteen States out of the Union,” to pro. claim treason in the Halls of of our own Legi-lature in Harrisburg, last winter. DON'T FORGET that W. H ARMSTRONG is in favor of blotting out State lines, doing away with State laws, and establishing a centralized government, with a military dictator to rule. —— De 07 Demccrats ! “let neither promises nor professions seduce yon from the straight line of duty. Oar Canlidates are in the field ‘and need every Democratic vote in the county. We have almost ruined ourselves, by our own ’slly, in regard to the Congress. man, but it is not yet too late to, in part, redeera the past, if we go faithfully and energetically to work. Turnout then Dem- ocrats in your ful strength ! Let no man stay at howe in any contingency. Aboh- tion is running riot in the country, which necds the stiong arms and stout heart of he r sons to save her from irretrievable ru- in. Work then, as you bave never worked before. Not two weelis yet remain till the day of election, and we have little enough time Jeft in which to prepare for the despe- rate struggle. Work, work, work ! aud when the day of voting arrives, come out to neighborhood with you. Thisis the only way in which we can succeed, and the only way in which we can undo the infamous ‘wrong which the white livered cowards who broke up our Uonference, at Lock Haven have inflicted upon the party. ony rd DEMOCRATS ! remember it was’ thiongh the efforts of William H. Armstrong, while in the Legisiature, ‘that the Abolition coun- ties of Tioga and Potter, were attached to this Congressioinal District, thereby . ma-— king it next to impossible for the Demo- crats to elect a candidate, unless a great revolution in political sentiment should take place in the minds of the people of those two counties. At the time this was done, Mr. Armstrong anticipated being a candi~ date for Congress himself, and it was thus he worked the cards to secure his own elec - tion ! Will you vote for him ? If you do you will be untrue to everything embraced in that grand old word Democracy. No, let this base political trickster be defeated in his own pet District, and consigned to the shades of oblivion, if he cannot get enough votes in his own party. His Abolition friends might then with propriety sing: ¢ Come rest in this bosom my own stricken dear, . The Doctrines of Greely and Phillips - are here !” 17 Two of the editers of the Chicago Abolition Tribune were caught trying to escape into Canada the other day, and one of them, the smallest dog of the two, wa caught and placed in the ranks in accor- ‘dance with the escapement order.
