FOR TREASURER, JOHN SHANNON, The Great Democratic Mass Meeting. ‘Saturday last was a day long to be .re- membered in the history of the Democratic party of this county. The outpouring of the people was immense and the enthusiasm beyoud expression. The abolitionists were terror-stricken, and their knees smote to- gether worse than did ever Belshazzar’s of old. It was truly a magnificent demonstra- tion and was an earnest of what the Dermoc- racy intend to do on Tuesday. Vehicles containing enthusiastic crowds, commenced t) arrive early in the day, and the town was soon alive with people. But the grand entree did not take place till about 11 o'clock, and then, ye Gods! what a spec tacle ! Cheer after cheer rose from the hundreds shout rose up from the assembled thousands for Woodward and Lowrie, as made the very welkin ring again. The delegations were very imposing, that from Pennsvalley being a mile and a-half in length. All the dele; gations were large and would have been lar- ger had it not been for the great rain of the day before, which threatened to spoil the meeting altogether. As it was, the turn- out was astonishing, and the display of flags and banners, with patriotic, Democratic mottocs, was inspiring and glorious 1n the extreme. Judge WoopwaRD arrived about noon, and stopped at the Pennsylvania House. As he alighted from his carriage he was greeted with three tremenduous cheers, and esger crowds pressed around him to take him by the hand. All were gratified at the noble presence of the man; many remarks were passed, such as “What a splendid looking man be is,&c. And Judge WoODWARD'S personal appearance is, certainly, much to be admired. He is six feet and two inches inches in height, built in perfect proportion, with a brow as lofty and massive as ever graced the proudest Senator of = ancient Rome, His deportment is always graceful, dignified and manly, and his manner kind and winning. It is no wonder that the mere ‘sight of the man awakens the enthusiasm of Centre Hall. FOR SHERIFF. RICHARD CONLEY, of Gregg Town:hip. YOR COMMISSIONER, JAMES FORESMAN, of Sncw Shoe. YOR AUDITOR, J. W. SNYDER, 6 Ferguson Townahip. FOR CORONER, JOSEPH ADAMS, o! Milesburg. Cur Tickst. We have already noticed, at somo length, the admirable ticket that stands st the head of our paper, and we feel a pride in saying to-day that no nominations have ever been received with such universal satisfaction by the Democracy of Centre county, Our can- didates are not a promiscuous pack of citi- gens. made up without respect to qualifica. tions or principles—they are no worn-down political hacks, who care for nothing but the loaves and fishes or the spoils of office, but are men, every one of them, and are Democrats because they believe Democratic principles are right, and are our candidates because the people desired that they should be such. They are men eminently fitted in every respect to fill the various stations for which they have bec nominated, and in whom the people can place their trust with out fear of being deceived. Qur friends from every part of the coun- ty assure us that the people arc awake and determined to exterminate every vestige of ABOLITIONISM in our midst. The same spirit that characterized the old Jackson campaign has been rekindled in the botoms of our people, firing them with a firm re- golve to throw off the shackles of despo. tism! We are assured, too, that hundreds of conservative Republicans, disgusted with ABOLITION rule, have joined our ranks and are now fighting shoulder to shonlder with the Democracy in behalf of CONSTI- TUTIONAL LIBERTY ! They. in common with the Democratic party, have been base- ly deceived by the imbecile administration at Washington—they sce no hope of restor- ing the Union and a speedy return of peace, but in the success of the Democratic party ; and, 8s in the palmy days of the old Whig party, they rallied around their noble lead- ors, Webster and Clay, so now they rally arourd the Democratic standard to do bat- tle for our common country. Fhere is but oneisentiment, the election of Woudward and Lowrie, now ammating the minds of our people. We urge our feliow- democrats therefore, to be vigilant and active. Let us not be satisfied with the election of our Ticket, even by the handsome majority of $00, which we had last fall. OLD CEN- TRE CAN DO BETTER THAN TIIAT, and she will do it. To your posts, then, fel- low-democrats, and let each*bne do what he ean in the good work, remembering that, “1A false usurper sinks in every foe, And Liberty’ returns with every blow.” Jot the UNION and the CONSTITU- TION be your rallying cry, and animated Ly this noble sentiment, let us go to the polls with the determination that the RIGHTS OF THE FEOPLE must be main. tained! Once more unto the breach, fellow evuntrymen, and on the thirteenth of Octo- ber we will thunder forth such a majority a8 will drive the hosts of Abolitionistn in coafugion before us, and redeem our proud old Commonweslth from their tyrannical yale! g7= Citizens of Centre county ! Do you want a Governor in Pennsylvania who will hold his own rights or permit the people of the State to hold theirs at the mere will of the National Adminstration? If you do, of the people and hence we were not sur- ; prised at the gratifying reception which he | received ineBellefonte. | Mr. Wirre arrived also about the same | time, and was handsomely received. Col. | Kane was unavoidaoly aetained and did not get Liero at all. But we have no room to elaborate the proceedings of the meeting, It was organ- ized by the election of Hon. 8. 1’. SuuGerr, a8 President, assisted by a large number of Vice-Presidents and Secretaries, whose names we are sorry we have no room for. The introduction of Judge WoopwARD to the immense audience was the signal for most uproaricus and long continued Lursts of applause, which Judge WooDwARD grace- fully and repeatedly acknowledged, while everyhiody pressed closer and closer to the stand in order to get a good look at him and hear what he had to say. In a speech of about ten minutes, Judge Woodward explained that ke had not come here to make a pclitical speech—that it had been a rule of his life never to discuss po- litical questions upon the stump, while oc- cupying a judicial position. He had come here only for the purpose of seeing the peo- ple and of letting the people see him. He merely alluded to the state of the country, and hoped that honest men of all parties would think seriously over it, and then vote, as their consciences, before God. might dic- tate. Me stated that although his position ag a member of the judiciary, prolibited bim from discussing the questions at issue before the people, yet if he should be elect- ed Governor of Pennsylvania, those ques- tions should Le discussed freely, bolily and impartially. The Judge then retired, the immense and densely packed assemblage giving bim cheer after cheer. Hon. W. H. Write, one of the ablest stump speakers in the Union, was then in- troduced to the meeting and was received with three hearty cheers. His specch was, probably, the ablest argument in favor of the principles and position of the Democrag- ic party, ever delivered in this town, His hearers were frantic with delight, and he was frequently interrupted by tremenduous bursts of applause. For three long hours he held that mighty assemblage speli-bound by the power of his eloquence, and when he ceased, the pent-up enthusiasm of the peo- ple burst forth in loud and lomg-continued chee, s. Mr. Joux II. Orvis was then called for, but as it was almost night he declined to add anything to the remarks of Mr. Wirrs, and the meeting then adjourned with nine cheers for Woodward and Lowrie and the Constituticn. The ladies had the stand handsomely dec- orated, which added much to its appearance. The rain, however, of the day before, inter- fered sadly with the arrangements of the la- dies, and they were not as well prepared as they inteuded to have been. The Lock Haven and Boalsburg Brass Bands were both in attendance, and dis- coursed most excellent music. So ended one of the most enthusiastic and imposing demonstrations that ever took place in-Central Pennsylvania. May we not hope that it was but the shadow of that coming event which is‘to overthrow the whole abolition dynasty ? BB Don't Scratch you: Ticket. Democrats don't scratch your Ticket, vote for every man upon it from Geo. W. Wood- ward downto Joseph Adams, You only assist in electing some Abolitionist by scratching off the name of a Democrat, and give the opposition a chance to glory over you after the election. Remember that ev- ry man on the opposition ticket is an Abo- litionist at heart, no matter what his pre- tensions are, Stick to your ticket than ev- ry man upen it is worthy ef your sup- Andrew €, Cartin will just suit yon, port.

Voters and tax-payers of Uent-e county-— charged by journals of his own party, as ¢t CORRUPT AND UNFIT TO BE CHIEF EXECUTIVE Railroad, whereby our State was robbed of over EIGHTEEN MILLIONSOF DOLLARS, and his friends DARED NOT DENY IT. They charged him with stealing the agree. ment, by which that monstrous corporation was to pay the annual sum, into the State treasury, of seventy-five thousand dollars, from the office of his Attorney General, and delivering it up to the Vice President of the road and his friends DARED NOT DENY IT. They charged him with calling out the soldiers and then «* farming ’ them out to contractors, at se much per head, and his friends DARED NOT DENY IT. They charged him with olothing the soi- diers with shoddy and rotten blankets, and feeding them on stinking beef, and his friends DARED NOT DENY IT. We charged him with taking an oath to proscribe FOREIGNERS, ALIENS or CATH- OLICS, and to prevent them from ever hold- ing office and his friends DARED NOT DENY IT. We charged him with being the first Sec- retary of State under a Know-Nothing Governor, and of traveling over Pennsyl- vania organizing Know-Nothing Lodges, and his friends DARED NOT DENY IT. We charged him with willfully neglecting to have proper credit given for the number of volunteers furnished by this county, thereby permitting the conscription act, to rob eur citizens of over an hundred thou- sand Jollars, or force them into the ranks, when our county had an overplus of over three hundred soldiers—and his friends DARED NOT DENY IT. freeing the negroes—in favor of allowing them to enter and depreciate the field of white labor—in fayor of reducing work- man’s wages to the standard of negro la- bor—in favor of allowing negroes to vote— in favor of allowing negroes to hold office—- in favor of suspending the writ of habeas corpus and of arbitrary midnight arrests— in favor of violating Constitutions and of giving up our State rights to the General Government-—in favor of a military despot- ism—in favor of a war with Fugland and France—in favor of a New Union in place of the old Union of our fathers—in favor of disunion forever rather than agree to a com- promise with the South--1n favor of Con- scriptions—in favor of high revenue Taxes —in favor of eviry wish and desire of Abe Lincoln and his corrupt crew of plunderers and thieves-—NOT in fuvor of tke Constitu- tion as it is and the Union as it was, and NOT in favor of your rights as freemen or your welfare as people! and his friends DARED NOT DENY IT, All these, and more charges, blacker and more infamous than any of them, have we made and proved to be true, here at the home of Andrew G. Curtin, among his rel- atives. friends and partners in business, and no one has dared to deny them; even his own organ, the Press, owned and con- trolled by his personal and political friends” has not attempted to refute a single charge laid at his door ; its Editors Anow that they are correct—knrow that he bas committed the offences for which we have arraigned kim, and consequently fear even to state that they are incorrect. Can the honest farmers and mechanics and hard-fisted work- ing men give their support to a man who bas proven go recreant to a trust reposed in him? (Can they cast their vote fcr Andrew G* Curtin, who has knowingly and purposly signed bills that robbed then of millions of dollars 2 If so they deserve to be robbed they deserve to have an imbecile for a Gov- crnor-- they deserve to be taxed and drafted. B7s>= Democrats, be earnest and united in your efforts to elect Woodward, Lowrie and our whole county ticket. To Work !! To Work, Democrats; remember that on Tuesday next one of the most important clections ever held in the State will take place—yon have no time to idle or pass away casily, for the enemy are at work, using every means within their reach, to d feat our noble candidates, triumph over our gloriops principles, prolong the war and prevent a reconstruction of this Union as ig was given us by our fathers. Arouse then, white men! Would ye be fieemen longer ? would ye have the name of our country again made mighty, and preserve its bless- ings for your children? Would ye hurl from power violaters of law! Usurpers of authority ! Truckling minions of tyrants! Fawning sychophants at the foot-stocl of Royalty ! Robbers and plunderers of your public treasury! Despoilers of your Goy- ernment and enemies of your liberty ! then arouse and to work! -¢ Eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty,” and energetic, de- termined action can only assure you of suc- cess. Wait not for others to move, look not to leadurs to see this man or that, but go yourselves and speak to him as you would to an erripg brother. Tell him of the terrible dangers that envjron our land—tell him of the fearful consequences of a continuation in power, of the miserable faction of disu- nionists that now hold office and wield the sceptre,—tell him of the frauds and corrup. tions of those who now fill high places, to the disgrace of pur country. Stop not then, go to the polls and vate early, make prepe- vations, and have every vote there, and be sure that none are left bebind. To woxrk then, freemen, and suecess is cevlan! We charged him with being in favor of Soldiers, Read. We again refer to the subject of the sdl- diers’ vote 1861, that the returned .soldiers out by the court. 1n 1861, Judge Thompson, Ahoiitionist, ponent, with the vote of the citizens at home and in the a~my, bad a majority over Thom- son, and received the certificate of election and entered upon the duties of his office. — Thompson’ contested the right of Ewing to hold the position, in the Common Pleas of that city, on the ground of the wnconstitu- tionality of the soldiers vote! The court dexided in favor of Thompson. The matter was carried up to the Supreme Court, and Judges Wcodward, Strong and Lowrie, Democrats, and Read, Abolitionist, affirmed the decision of the court below. Judge Wodward, then must have been governed wholly by legal corsiderasions in his decis- ion and not by party motives, for if the lat- ter had had any controlling influence with him, he would not have sustained the infer- tor court, and Ewing Democrat, would have retained the office of Sheriff —the emolum- ents of which are nearly equal, if not alto- gether to the salary of the president of the United States. It was the cupidity of an Abolitionist that forced such a decision and and hence cast aside the soldiers vote and thus disfranchised them, Will the abolition journals, in their ravings, tell us whether legal and Constitutional motives governed Judge Woodward and majority of the Bench in the matter of Thompson vs. Ewing, or political codsiderations and prejudices ?— Which ? Abolition Tactics. Democrats, keep a sharp look out for Ab- olition stool pigeons who claim to be Demo- crats. These fellows are sent out as decoy ; ducks to draw you into the Abolition trap. t Again, beware of Abolition wire workers | who ask you to trade some man on the Democratic for some one on the Abolition ticket whose election they desire. The tac- tics of the enemy are at present to strike at yone or two of the Democratic nominees. They are very anxious to defeat our candi- dates for the Legislature and Register & Re- corder, and to accomplish this purpose they will resort to almost any means, lies will be circulated of the blackest kind, tickets with the names of Forster and Haupt inserted in | the place of Alexander and Gephart, will be given to you, offers will be made to trade them for some other candidates, and in fact every species of political trickery will be tried to defeat them. Be on the look out all the time, believe no reports they put in circulation, and be certain to examine your ticket before you vote, see that every name is upon them, and that every one is spelled right. The only way to defeat the tactics of the Avolitiomsts is to VOTE THE WHOLE TICKET, AND NOTHING BUT THE TICKET. M'Clellan for Woodward. In his speech on Saturday, Mr- Witte sta- ted BY AUTHORITY, that Gen. M’Clellan was for Judge Woodward. And we learn since from undoubted sources, that M:Clel- lan is now in Philadelphia, working quietly but earnestly among the soldiers for Wood- ward’s election. What think you of that, ye soldiers who have returned home to vote for Curtin 2 Will ye follow ‘‘Beast “Butler” to corruption and shame in Andy Curtin’s arms, cr Gen. M-Clellan to glory and honor in the triumph of Judge Woodward and Democratic principles? M'Clellan, God bless him, the man you ALL love, and whom Andy Curtin bates, has never yet led you astray! Soldiers, will ye trust hin now ? Remember. Remember! that DANIEL AGNEW, the Abolition nominee for Supreme Judge, voted and spoke in the Convention which framed our present State Constitution to allow NE- GROES THE RIGHT TO VOTE. White men remember this! 1t is true, snd cannot be denied. Remember ! that CORTIN 18 completely pledged to support the administration of ; Lincoln in the Negro war policy. There will be no change if he is elected. The last man in the country will be drafted before they will yield, if by their votes, the peo- ple elect Curtin. Remember that: every vote for Curtin is 3 vote for the negro war policy. ee _cosoe=——r: Ay Inpayous Lis.—Some of the lying Abolitionists are circulating the report through parts of the county, that our Can- didate for Register & Recorder, Mr. J, P, Gephart, advised his democratic friends to go to the polls early on next Tuesday morn- ! ing aod vote and then shoot down any abol: itionist that attempted to deposit his ballot. This is one of the most infamous falsehoods ever set afloat. Mr. Gephart pever said any such a thing, he is not one of that kind of men, and the person that starfed the re- whatever.

Democrats, you are sure of a complete victory, if you all turn out to the polls, but will all be oat? Democrats, are you sure that your neighbor will be at the election? If not, make yourself certain of it. Democrats beware of opposition tricks, and falsehoods—the opposition do not ex- pect to win except by trickery. The reme- dy against all this is to get every Democrat to turn out to the election and vote the whole ticket. VOTE EARLY. Democrats go early upon the election ground and fight for your ticket ; in doing so you are sustaining the cause of the Union, the cause of your couatry. Be not misled by the false representations of your politi- cal opponents. Let every Democrat and every ‘‘Republi- can’’ who wants to have a change in the ad- ministration of public afiairs, turn out to the election. If the people want to suffer— suffer—suffer—till ruin rides rampani over every hill and valley in the land, let them stay at home and permit the reins of gov- ernment to remain in the hands of the Akol- itionists. Oa the contrary, if they want our country to return to peace and prosper- ity let them TURN OUT and VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. pe Voters, Remember that Harry For- for Assembly, 1 this county, is in favor of freeing the slaves of the South and bringing them North to compete with us for labor, steal our property and fill our Poor Houses, Jails and Penmtentiaries.

Gen. McClellan— Judge Woodward. It is somewhat remarkable, yet it isa fact, that in all parts of Pennsylvania, the men who sustain General G. B. McClellan, the gallant and successful commander and favorite of the brave soldiers in the Army of the Potomac, and defend him against the slanderous attacks and unjust acts ujon him by the Lincoln-Curtin Abolition leaders at Washington, are the friends of Judge Woodward, iE If we look around us here. or turn our eye to other quarters, we find that the men who misrepresent and abuse General Mc- Clellan, as ‘a - traitor,”” ‘‘a sympathizer with the South,” &e., &c.. are the men v ho apply the same terms to Judge Woodward. The Lincoln Administration, while it per- mits Butler, who has never fought a great battle, or proved himself a soldier, to travel over the country, making stump speeches, repudiating ‘¢ the Union as it was,” and to draw his full pay. as Major General, has forced the patriot McClellan, whom the soldiers love and the people admire, from active duty, and re*ired him from service on half pay! This outrage is approved only by the Lincoln-Curtin Aboliticnists ; the Democracy—all the friends of Judge Wood- ward everywhere—condemn and dencunce it as infamously unjust. The Lincoln-Curtin Abolitionists hate Gen. McClellan, because he is a sincere friend of ‘* the Constitution as it is, and the Union as it was ;” and they hate Judge Woodward for the same reasom. [hey op- pose General McClellan because he believes with the late Senatsr Douglas, that the Government formed by Washington and his fellow patriots of '76, was ‘¢a white man’s Government,” intended ‘: for white men and their posterity forever ;’” and they op- pose Judge Woodward because he enter- tains the same belief. They proscribe Gen.

Beware of Lies, Driven almost to madness b the certainty of defeat, the aboli~ tionists will resort to any means, no difference how disgraceful or low to get votes for their'doomed candidates. We Tear that all sorts of lies, about the private character of our worthy candidate Judge Woodward, are circulated throughout the county by his miserable defamers. We would warn our readers against them; Hisenemiesare afraid to make the charges public but like contempti~ ble cowardly sneaks: go about whispering them in the ears of persons who are not acquainted with Judge Woodward. Listen not to them, is not a word of truth in them. Judge Woodwards pri- vate character is above reproach and no decent man man will say otherwise. Even his bitterest en- emies who regard the truth will tell you so. ’ Caution. - x We would warn our friends and readers against lying circ lars and flaming hand bills, sent out just on the eve of the election. Not a stone will be left unturned: by the abolitionists, nol a trick that they can resort to but will be tried. So beware, put your neighbors on their guard, and stard firm!
