Importanoe of the October Election.
The ePPl'deeling October election
mast not be overlooked or cast into the
shade by the importance of,the, Presh•
tleritial contest in . NoveMber. • The whole
country will look to the result of the
local elections in Pennsylvania as a pre
le-of wlit'jt. - 14 to cIIW - v, and in all pro
bability, as the old Keystotet - goes in
October, so will her heavy electoral vote
be cast for President. No one should
be idle,-thinking that it is unimportant,
and that the great struggle oan safely be
postponed until NOvember. It is im
possible that the forces of the enemy, if
badly beaten in October, can successful
ly rally in the short interval which is to
elapse between the two klections. Eve
ry blow struck now will tell as dirgctly
for McClellan and Pendleton as if made
in November. But we do not think
there are any anfongst us whd do not
realize the importance of success. The
questiou is bow to attain.it. .-Isetoto one
ji be idle. Do' not depend entirely upon,
lhoo who are known as "leaders." 'A
general can arrange the order of battle
tnd watch the operations of the enemy ;
ut EIIcCOSS must depend upon the nerve
and muscle of the rank and file to a great
degree. The I.4 , ites before us are per
haps of greater importance to the ino,t,
humble in the land than . to those who are'
known as "leader , ," and they should be
actively engaged front now until the
election, each laboring in his sphere fer
the accompi ishment of the great end.
Wherever there is a band of Democrats,
however small, let them organize and
understand th >roughly what ought to
be done and decide as to the best way
of doing it. All have iirtluencc, all Can
he leaders, anti every one ought to and
inu.t do tis duty in this hour of danger

Oqr Candidates for Sende
Tlte Abolitiod leaders are busy quar
reling over the division of the spoils they
have stolen from the people, and there
never was a more Etvorable opportunit;
for the triumph of justice and right.
The dishonorable gerrymander made last
winter of our Senatorial District was in
tended, to make every effort of the De
mocracy to carry it hopeldss. But this
attempt has beeh almost neutralized by
the ,belectious made of men fir whom
the people arc asked to vote fur the im
portant 'position of State Senators.
They are men against whom the oppo
sition can say nothing, except that while
Republicans were crying out against the
Union, and seeking to destroy the Gov
eminent, they were bravely buffeting
the waves of fanaticism arid struggling
almost against 'hope •in the ..itarknetis
which closed around them in ,their own
counties. Anything which appears al
most impossible of accomplishment is
sure to be done if every energy is bent
for that end. The Senatorial District
in which Centre County finds herself
looks dark enough ; but in consideration
of the broils in the enemy's calnp,lidd
the weli known character of the 'Vino
cratie candidates for honesty and integ.
city, their election is made not only pos
sible, but, very probable, if every effort
is made by the Democracy.
Dr. Christy, represented his county in
the State Legislature durim the session
of ISSB, and won for himself distinguish
ed honor' as a man of ability and deter
mination. Mr. Walters, our other can-
didn't°, has long been identified with the
Democracy of Mifflin county, and for
s, ,, veral years los bocn the principal
c.litcr of the Lewistown Democrat. Ile
is a m-in of talent, of integrity and
infinen.
We speak for them, in Centre county *
at least, a heavy majority. ;heat 4rc
men whosst private turd - political clinrae
tors are abOve suspicion, men eminently
qualified to fill the positions for which
they baye been chosen, and who, if
elected, will be an honor to the district
and to the people they represent. Let
us arouse and to work I we can elect
them if We but do our duty.
-I%e would again dige upon our
Democratic friends throughout the coun
ty and State, the imperative necesmty of
immediate and energetio action. There
is not a moment to be lost. The enemy
is uctive, is vigilant and determined,
and unless every one of us are willing to
do our duty, unless each individual goes
to work immediately, defeat will come.
There is no use of underrating the power
of our enemy, they have offices and con
traits, and greenbacks, with which to
buy the Inemenary ; they have their se
cret midnight meetings in -which plans
are laid to deceive the unthinking—
they have spies, and informers, and
agents vho will attempt tn....frighten the
cowardly, and thousands bf othet ways
by which they will try to 'gain support
for their sinking craft; but if we do
our. duty, if each democrat accomplishes
simply what is in his power to accom
plish, victory is as certain as the rising
of the sun. There ,is ', no such word as
fail when men are determined.: Let us
go to work then with vie.r and determi
nation. anda gloriou triumph willorowo

Make Him Teti You
If an Abolitionist asks , you to sup
port Abraham Lincoln, ask him what
good the eettetry will derive from his re
election:: If he tells you it will "put
down rebellion" and "restore the Un
ion," ask hint•why this has not been
done during - the peg four years. Ho
has had all the mem and ail the money
he asked for, ho promised to do the
work with 75,000 men in thrhe months.
He told us there was "nothing wrong,"
and that "nobody was hurt,v that our
troubles were shriply a ",ternpcst in a
tea=pot," and that they could be settled
at most in "sixty-days." ...His Secretary
of State asserted the same thing, and
his who'e party re-itterated the assertion.
Ask lxiati,why they : failed to accomplish
this object. If he tells you that'llemo7
crats aro not Union men,
,ask him who
it was they called "Constitution strick
lers," and "Union-savers" in 1860, ask
him who controlled the administration
of the government from the birth of our
Republic, hsk him whodt was dint in
scribed upon their banners, the "Union
as it was, and the Constitution as kis,"
ask him to show you a single Democrat
that has said, "let the Union slide,." or
'we want' n) Talon with slarchold
er.;",', and if he tells you Abraham Lin
coln is in favor of the Union, tell him it
is false, and ask him why ho refused to
compromise our difliehltia, on the bask
of the Union, with the Southern com
missioners at Niagara Falls. 11' he tells
you his prp'ty is in favor of the Union,
tell him it is false, and ask him who it
was that cried "no Union with slave
holders," that carried sixteen star flags
in ISSG, dim endorsed Helper's Book
and praised the bloody deeds of John
Brown, that said the Union was a "he,
a cheat," and that the Constitution
w$ an ''agreement with, death and a
_covenant u itl li, ll," 1, ; ~t
that pre,cnted a petition in the United
States Senate for a "dissolution of the
Union," and declared this "Union could
not remain half Aare and half free."
It' he still has the impudence to ask you
to vote fur Abraham Lincoln nit the man
fur the times, ask hint to repeat the
pro tics and pledges made by his party
to the people in the campaign of ISGO,
and why they were not fulfilled.
t
warned the people that if they placJ
the Republican party in power, it would
bring the most terrible and bloody war
the world ever witnessed. The utb
lican, told them that they would destroy
the Union, if necessary, to destroy an
institution recognized and protected_ by
the Constitution. Our history in the
past four years has proved that both
parties told the truth. The Democratic
party warns the now, that to•con
tinue Abraham Litwole in power will
not only be to continue the fierce and
wicked war which is now raging, and to
destroy the Republic, but that it will
be the death blow to liberty upon our
continent. Mr. Lincoln tells us that the
constitution is already suspended and
that it will be utterly subverted if nee- ,
essary for the prosecution of his schemes.
In view of history, which i already re
corded, can any one doubt. that all this
is as true now as the promises and pre
dictions of the same parties were four
years ago? Cun any patriot hesitate as
to how his . voto shall be cast in the com
ing election ? We think not.
—I: our Congressional District we
are to decide whether we shall be repre
sented in Congress by a patriot and a
man, or `whether we shall be as in the
past few years, without representation
at all or else most foully nu's-represent
ed. The Democratic party has present-•
ed for that important position a firm un
flinching Democrat—as well as a at.vs
whose.publie and private record is with
out spot, and against whom the opposi
tion can say not a word but will recoil
upon their own heads. To oppose him
the Abolitionists have nominated a man
With whom a large faction of their own
party is at war. There is dissatisfaction
and mutiny in their own camp, and'a
•well directed attatk will throw them into
utter confivdon and make .9 tweess cer
tain.. Arouse Democrats and let us re
deem the 18th Congressional 'District.
Loose new FOR LIES.—Let the friends
icre..,Dernocracy be on the alert. The op
iLltion, in order to succeed, will stop at
nothing that will add strength to their
ticket. The country Will be floodea with
lying circulars, with spurious tickets,
with false reports, and with everything
that can be invented to dishearten or de
feat the Democracy. Nothing is too
-contemptible for tin to rdsort to.
They see defeat staring them in the face.
Their comic is desperate, and tho , will
'make it mighty effort to save themselves.
All kinds of reports will be set afloat
about our candidates. Beller] them not
every man on our ticket is worthy the
support of every honest voter. Let no
the lies of Abolitionists deceive you.
--,-The alerts of the Abolitionists to
create a division in the ranks et the
Dilmocracy have failed. They see Ifiat
it is foolish to attempt it farther, and
have now changed their tactics, and aro
tolling about the "rebellion" being
on 'its '`last legs" again. This will be
the string they will play on until after the
election. We would warn the people
against their lies.. Do not believe them ;
they are gotten up td deceive and betray.
Defeats will bo exaggerated into victories,
Richmond, and Charleskin, and Mobile,
and all the strongholds of the Confeder
acy, will be reported captured, and every
conceivable kind of lies will be told to
assisk4n the re-election of Abraham
Lincoln. Let the. people be on their
guard!
-,Poor Reasons
Some of; the supporters of Lincoln in
this neighborhood are silly enough to
assert, as a reason why Lincoln should
be re-elected,
.that. lie has not had. -a
chance to aluiw what-he can do, and
therefere is entitled to "relgn'• four more
sears in on er to perfect his work. NOW,
we have an idea that the porde , have
come to the conclusion that his work is
about near enough parfecied, and that
he has shown plainly enough what he
can do. lie has violated his oath • and
trampled upon the-plain provisions of
the Constitution; ho has slaughtered
and maimed` millions of American citi
zens, and made the country banknipt in
men and money ; lie has stricken doWn
State rights and subenlinatcd the ballot
box to fraud and the bayonet; he has
made thousands,of widows and hundreds

hostiles with innocent victims and sanc

of country inhabited by.women and cha.-

us by the Abolition rule, speak loudly to
every tax-payer, 'warning him to steer
wide of the party which has so gievious

and experience teaches us that it is not

—The 'troll - Mond Sentinel, the reptrte&orglin
of Jeff. Davie, in a late article on the recent
conference at Niagara, makes a suggestion
for the attainment of peace, in the following
half-earnest, half-bantering languago :
•‘ Let peace oomtuissioners - be appointed
by either section, and, invested with plenary
powers of negotiation, meet on neutral ter
ritory, and - disernts•tinFterms of peace.—
Let all subjects be oven to free discussion

will secure our equal rights within the Un

and partly to effect this you may throw all

Committee has loped an electioneering ed
am, signed by Bfmon Cameron, ite•chair
man. It is fair to ',legume that this docu
ment has been premed with more tlelibcra,
tion than the mass of black Republican ed
itorials; the tissue of sophistry and,. mitt ,
representation of which it consists,' if'
thet4fore, more inexcusable. Its leading
position is, that the Democrapiisp e .party' Is a
disunion mirty ; that the Democratic leaders
are consciolisly nimingtio render separation
final; that any offer of compromise which
they might make to the South-would. he a
speCious but flimsey pretence, as it is cer
tain that no compromise would be - accepted
by the rebels. The address assumes, as the
groundwork of its reasoning, an immovable
determination on the part of the South, tb
accept no possible compromise, and thence
argues that an offer, made upler such, stir
cumpances, would be a deoeitftil device For
proquring a suspension of, hostilities with a
view to recognition.
Such a courte.of reasoning is a gross int
illation on the honesty pf the DemocratiF
arty ; for the party have never professed
nYthing but sincere devotion to the Union ,(
rid nn unfaltering determination to maim
aim it. For the troth of these profeasioni
et facts he submitted to a candid public.
For the fifteen yearS previous to the Ont..

Again, on the 2nd of March, Mr. Douglas
said :
1 can confirm the Senator's declaration that
&lentos Ihnii himself, when on the Committee
of Thirteen, was ready at all tine's to compro

briber, and say that Air. Toombs was alto
ready to do so.
I 6 is clear, therefore, that the Republican
partystands chargeable with all the conse
quences from which the address vainly tries
to clear theni—of defeating the. Crittenden
proposition. With Ise Union in one settle
and their Tarty feelings in the other, the
Union proved too light to over-balance their
party views. Rather than divide the terri
tories, giving the North tne lion's share,
they deliberately 'preferred to commit tin,

in the face of sul.l facts, they have the ef

with infidelity*to the Union.
" To put their own Union pretensiOne to
the test, we wish to ask them one question:
Would they to stay the further effusion of
blood, consent to the Crittenden compro
mise now, if,,,by its adoption, the ,Union
could be restored ? IWe challenge an
answer."
