The Shoddies that do up the editorials for the miscegenation organ up town, seem terribly troubled about the course the Comniissioners of this county intepd pursuing in regard to the building of a new jail. Already they see the build ing looming up at a cost of one hundred thousand dollars, which must increase out already burdensome taxes. What wonderful sagacity, or rather what pre sumption, for' these advocates of war and taxes, to suppose that they can in duce the taxpayers of this county to 'believe that a Democratic Board of Com missioners intend increasing the debt of the county one hundred thousand dollars by erecting a jail at this time. Have we not bad a full Democratic Board for the last year? Wave they not, had thtuanthor ity to borrow money and begin the work at any me ? have they made anymore meats towards doing it? They hare not, nor do they intend to. The people of the county know very well who bzht agitated the question. They know full weU that when we bad an Abolition Board of Commissioners the Central Ras and the leaders of the Abolition party in. this town wore 'all in favor of building a new jail, becanse their favorite contractors were out of s job, and wanted another opportunity of filltnirtheirlpockets at the expense of the people. They are even now in favor of building a jail, and are only waiting to get a majority of the Board of Commissioners to begin the job. This is the secret—they are fighting for a chance to build it themsekes. They want to get their unhallowed paws once more into the county treasury. But we can tell them they may build their cas tles in the air and the people will knock Mem to pieces on the second Tuesday of bctober. Our candidate for Vommis sioner, along with the rest of the Demo , eratio ticket iq bound to be elected, and they 'cannot - help it. .They will have to get up something more plausible than the jail story. That won't win. rho people of the meaty are too well medAs to who it was that made the drat move, they reoolleot how earnestly Judge Linn urged upon every grand jury fors over two years, the turn* if re-:, petting in favor of a new jail, until he at length succeeded inhabiting two juries, both of which were composed fe ciesitio' r ift qf utbolamists to make favorable report. They leealleet the means that ware resorted to by the Abolatosista of this town to oast the satne_objeet, and bow they gloried trier f it when they sue , eeeded. But unfortaumtely for them we had and gaill have a Damooratio Board of Commietioners, who have the inter ests of the people , at heart, atul do not Aged braiding a /nal, satimelforeed to do to by a decree 1 ebe ONO.. If ,fhe voting toz-Peleero of the mot' emaito owned a lamdred theologised del. here la ereetiu a new Jan at this time, whit' toor monly is loaded down with dobli if they loam shofar Same in due tray, let them vote the Abolitioti Kokes. The limiest -of .aa Abolition Chnieehehmet ebe Apt step to wards h. Our Awhoiss. Our late able and egcient member of Assembly, r. C. T. Alexander needs no words of commendation at our hands of every voter in Centre county. By his course there during the last session, he has proved to the people, the masses of the voters, the tax-payers of the county that he hi their Wad, and that to his care they can confide their interests, feel ing assured that be is able and deter mined to protect them, Ho has the ex perience and ability,_the..bonor and in tegrity to repre'sent us aright, and it is our duty to return him to the position he filled with so much credit to himself and honor to his constituents. His re election is of more importance to the tax-payers of the county than many im agine. Let them look to their their own interests and they can but give him a hearty and cordial support. Let his majority be treble that of last year and the people will have no reason to regret it. In the language of our cotemporary, the Centre Beriater, we have for Com missioner "honest John L. Gray, of Hilt Moon." In the upper' end of the county, where Mr. 'Gray is personally known to every voter, he is universally esteemed for his honesty, integrity and chriatian hearing. He is an upright, in telligent, enterprising citizen, an "hon est old earthy," entinently qualified for the position of County Commissioner, or guardian of the interests, property and funds of the people. In this day of taxation,..of bounties cud reliefs it is necessary for the safety of tax-payers, that they have honest, competent men as Commissioners, Let them look to it then that Mr. Gray is triumphantly elected. He i 0 the man for the posi tion. For Auditor we have Col. John Rigid, of Gregg township, a citizen against whom naught can be Said, an honest, intelligent, industrious farmer, a splen did business man, qualified in every re spect to fill the responsible position for -which he has been cholien. No friend of honesty and industry but can vote for him. Such ie the ticket we present to you voters of Centre county. Was ever a more worthy set of candidates presented for your suffrage? They are not politi. cal tricksters, seeking for the emolu rictus and spoils of office, but honest, upright, capable men, each one fitted for she position for which he has been cho sen. Can as much be said of the °pito yition ticket? Not with truth. To work then voters, you, bade a duty to perform and but a little while to do it ie. The ticket that &mallet our mast-head to-day is the whip man's ticket, the honest laboring man's ticket; the tax payers ticket, and it will be elected by a triumph suit maJcltity. Let the shout go up, we are in the right said must succeed. —The Abolitioniste in this Congos sienal district are in a terrible stew. Since laat, _Thursday night they have had three different candidates in the field. Ant they had Billy Armstrong of Wit Remove.. Billy saw that the Demo crats has placed rather a.atrong man on the track, and before hie nomination was 'blade public he withdrew. Next they &added to try an individual named Ben eon, "..of Potter county. , Well, -Benson looked 'at matters in about the "same light that drtnatong did ? and concluded Wright was most too Popular k man to attempt to defeat, and he withdrew too. Now, reports ssy, 4 they have settled on Wilson, of Two county—a man without brains, without character, with nothing at ali to recommend him to the support of the people but a "bull-headed" de termination to tun for Congress. And so the matter igen& A few individuals in Tinge County have whipped the bal 'sue of the dbiziet late the support of Abair "independent" sendidatoe.

Ma Man at our mast head .to day as can didate forthwhighest ,office in the giR of the people,' it _may not-be amiss to give some explanation to those of our readerk Who see as we see and feel tut we; feel, politieally. It is well known to evorliceader of the Watchman that Gen. McClellan was not our first, our second or our third choibe as standard bearer in 'the ooming campaign. In bet we hoped that the "polite of nominating a mili tary man would be entirely ignored by the Chicago Convention, and that it would give us a civilian, a citizen state-, man, ode whose voice had never been heard' in support of this wicked, this cm justificable crusade and whose hand had never been raised to albite tire American that claimed the right "of self govern-' went—theoitisen that stood by the sov ereignty of the State--as nominee for President; but our hopes were disap pointed. That Convention, composed in part of some of the greatest statesmen the North can boast of, deemed it best for our country and for the party to make the choice they did. And perhaps the; were right, Future events must tell whether they were or not., Be-that as it nay, we read in'the booming of the cannon, in the ringing of the bells, in the shouts of the people, that the masses were willing to accept and support their choioa, and in the platform laid down by that Convention we could see one thing distinct above all others-- 7 a ferient de sire foI peace—a determination to close this brutal, bloody butchery on terms, alike A honorable to both sections, without further bloodshed—an offering of the olive branch without the sword, and upon it we felt willing to give a hearty, !and-authusitunie-euppert the nominee. With this feeling and determination we awaited Gen. McClel lan's letter aecepting the nomination. It came, and in it, we are free to confess :we could see but - lath to strengthen our former opinion of his fitness for the pos ition, but much to awaken in our breast_ a feeling of opposition towards him. But what would it effect? Under the circumstances, every vote withheld from McClellan would be a ballot in . favor of Lincoln. And . who in the name of Heaven would see our country of with four more years of his detestable thieving, tyrannical administration ? Here then was our only .choice for the present. McClellan with the hope that he will do set te r thin we may think he will, or a tacit support to Lincoln with a knowledge of his imbecility, his infamy and determination to overthrow our Re public and its institutions ; fdr nay what we please, the contest is now between these two, it is the one or the other for President. They are the chosen leaders in the present contest, and between them we must choose. If our Convention made a mistake in its choice, we can see no way of mending the mistake at this date in the campaign. It can only serve as another lesson to those who would cling to "policy" at the sacrifice of principle. With McClellan there will be some hope of our country, with Lincoln we know there is none. On this ground we will make our fight. We do ,wt raisd hie same then because his political opinions,. so far as (repressed, coincide with ours, or because his record would recommend him to our support, but for the simple reason that the force of circumstances has compelled us to choose between the two men, and we naturally cling to the one in which we - can place some hope. This is our position, these• are our real ens, and in our humble sphere we shall do all in our power to prevent the re election of Abraham Lincoln; although the candidate opposed to him is not the man of our choice, or the representative of our feelings, as we understand Aim. ----The only hope of the 'Abolition ists is in a division of the 'Democratic, party. They know that they cannot em ceed with the party united, and they are making the most strenuous efforts to create dissension and discord within its ranks. But their efforts will prove futile, and their attempts vain. The Democrats know what thew are about—they learned a lesson in 1860, and have profited by it..

It is somewhat amusing to find in or. tick in the Shoddy organ up town eon plaining of the ~ - .Venormorup taxation" which am the fruits of debtcoontracted by the lanthoritiee of this county, as a consequence if this "ungodly and in• human war." ' We are both surprised and amused to find kyal shoddy George or those who edit his paper, complain of heavy taxes, and then call this an "un godly, inhuman and devilish war." This kind.of language and complainings would be .enough for some violent "cop .perltead," some "enemy of the goVern meat," some "vile traitor" like' ourself to use, and we wonder very much at its being allowed to appear in the columns bf that "loyal" -sheet. But perhaps there is' some excuse,' may be the.shoe pinches, does it? The tax colleitor ie knocking at your dpor; is he-George? Well all we can give you, is to hand over what you made, when quartermaster, and the little you have accumulated by years of toil wirhOut grumbling. • This ia the result of your own• teachings, and we allowit to.you. When we had peace you were pot satis fied but cried for war; you got it; your part:) , inaugurated it ; among you, you have rdbbed the treasury of miliaria of the peoples' money—stole it, and in tills way piled up the debt and, made these heavy taxes necessary to pay a part, merely, of the accumulating interest. Yell - should be the last man to complain of taxes George. Did you 'not get a part of the. profits of the Lincoln Dy nasty? Could you not steal enough when in office, like other shodies, to make you independent? Riunor says you were good , at the haulms," knd we know you had opportunity and believe ' ' . pen't for goodness sake, kick over the trams in this moment of your party's peril ; remember your master, he will lash your back. You are "loyal" and "ItiValfy" — iron't permit people to com plain about "enormous taxation" under Lincoln's rule. Be careful then, George,' or you'll not get another chino.° at the crib"y be cool, calm your nerves;this is only a foretaste of what is to come. Add three million of dollars per day, to the public debt, until this time next year, and tell us, what your taxes will be then. That is what your nigger crusade is costing. Ain't it glorious to contemplate? But in earnest, George, why do you complain? You want to be elevated to a social and political equality with Sambo and Dinah. and you know it cannot be accomplished without some cost, therefore, you should not grpmble when asked to bear your share. Be pa tient, be loyal, negro equality will repay you for high taxes. That should be enough. How they Lie. We have time, and again charged , the Abolition disunion party with being the most base, unscrupulous, contemptible, falsifiers that were ever permitted to en joy the blessings of a free government. They lie by wholesale and retail in big things lind little things, in their church esand out of them, in their papers and books, in their sermons and speeches, stall times, at all places , . and trader all circumstances, Witness the following, the abstain* of an item whit h has been going the rounds of the Abolition press and which we find incorporated in an editorial in the last issue of the mime. genation organ in this place.' "It will be borne in mind that the politi eal movements of the tetatetrigbts"-pro slavery-seoession party, khown as Copper heads, produced events which are full of significance from the day they took up the Presidendtial question, . Without going into detail, however, we will mefely'sir that the greatest of these was the changing or the day for holding their Sectional Convention from the glorious 4th of July to the 29th of August, which is the birth-day of, the trai tor Benedict Arnold in the days of the Rev olution." • New the popr, miserable, craven puppy that penned, the above knew that hews* writing down a LIE.
