Thei Campaign
For the. , glorious result which has
crowned the efforts of the DemoeraCy
in thiscounty, we are indebtedto theun
tiring, persistent and brilliant efforts of
a few noble atertealous spirits who bat—
tle manfully for the great cause. Among
those brave spirits, who fought the bat
tle to the death, who.toppled with the
im monster and crushed him in at-his
indepias proportions, were o n Sr
vie abd H. Y. Btitzer All honor be to
these men. - -First, and foremost they
breasted the storm, and against their
hercUlean eprts the raid waves of fa
naticism bursted is vain. , Oh, it was a-
glorious fight—it was a glorious thine
-to-sett-thocetwo-yottagmarts-.singlo-ltaw
ded.and alone, contend with the mighty
powers brought against them. But they
fought nobly—they two, and thanks be
to God, success has crowned their ef
forts. Let the people remember them .
and when the
now
of war and fanati
icism that now ever whelms the country
with woe and horror, shall have passed
away ; and gweel. peace Once more re
turns to reign, let it be remembered that
this joyful result was attained, at least
so far as Centre minty is concerned in
a very great degree by the her
culean labors and unitclfish patriotism of
John H. Orvis and U. Y. Sauer.
Deutoerete of Centro coefity, you owe
these mona debt of gratitude. Let it
never be said that you have failed to re-
pay them.
We believe this is, the only cam
paign in which Mr. Stitzer has attempt
ed to address the people of this county,
and.the glorious triumph of the Democ
racy is On very best evidence of the
record in which he is held by the people.
We oongratulate and compliment Mr. S.
on Lis complete success and hope that
he may .000tinuo as he has begun to be
a tower of strength. and an °remnant to

The chairman of the County commit

paign, and by his good Management of
affairs belonging to his position, contri
buted not a tittle to the grand result
which has filled all democrats with joy.
Mr. Alexander, owing to recent illness,
did not take so active a part in the
campaign as he has done heretofore. but
nevertheless made several telling 'wonh

completely demolished by the honest

garity, abuse and scurrility which the
blackguards who run the shoddy ma- :

swell the Democratic majority from 844
to nearly one thousand!, hereafter this'

George, we are swept° part forswear;
even from one who in& riteeppide from
the principles 'tit' his whole early lifii,and
who has proved antra. to the doctrines
inculcated by his wean! progenitor.
4n Slippier days, when Democracy_ rul
ed 41.eeelitlYe Gcorge.was awadherent
of those very principles; but later, when
the storm of fanaticism overthrew the,
foundations of• otta political system,
George deserted his colors and flew into
the artnweof Abeilitionism. Alas f to-day
he sees his doom written npenlite wall
and the finger of destiny, while pointing
towards him,.at the same time writes
the "Meru. Nene, Tercel, l ,l/Pinersin': of
his career.
Ah, George, did e you think when you
cowed eternal hostility to the priciples
which you epee professed to hold in rev
erence, that so soon you would see them
rise triumphantly above the shafts and
darts htirled at thein by an ignorant ant
bigoted despotism? Did you imagine
that they wo_etito-soon become the hope
of saltation - I.h the people ? Ah, no ;.
else had you never deserted thk viand
old flag of Democracy p up>oill the
ty rag of Abolitionism.
George, your past life has been a
You, for the sake of present gain, tram- 1
pled under foot the. principles of your
fathers, and to-day you sitelhem ripen
to the ful) height of their majesty,while
you, poor silly dolt, are groping about in,
the darkness and deceit which yourown,
unprincipled and sill y,coeniuct has made
your rightul inheritance. Oh, George,
in our heart we pity vOu, but while- w&
pity, we condemn. You arc sunken—
you are clown but the degradation you
have brought upon your self. Do you
not regret the Lamy days once spent
within---the--pole- of- the-Democratic -
II litor
whereon you once offered sacrifices to
the Goddess of liberty, but how unholy
and impure, 0, George, is the one be
fore which you DOW lay your sacrifices.

rious thing to think of. We pity you,

Thank God I for victory, even though
it be only partly complete. - Thank God
in that He has opened the eyes of the
people and showed thc yawning preci—
pice towards whose brink they have been
carelessly, so lieedle.Aly rushing. George
thank Him, ton, that your -doctrines
have not prevailed, and that your prin
ciples have not led the pcopl' astray.—
God be praised that there is yet hope of
salvation for this poor bleeding coun
try.
The Fate of Renegades
Because ,Geo. Kurtz was not nomina—
ted by the democracy for Register and
Recorder some few year° age, he turned
traitor td his party and to Vs' principles
and now has bib reward—being the os -
tensible editor of a little eight by ten Abo
titian sheet in a county where' Abolition
ists? exists only by the sufferance of the
Democracy. Oh, George, you should
have knotvn you were not able to play
the role of John.W. Fdrtiey, and by su
perior capacity in political management
acquire a commanding position with fat
contracts among your new allies. You
are not a great man George, and your
present position is neither enviable nor
respectable. Repent and come back
into dig folds of Democracy, and. in the
distant future you may again acquire
the standing you onca had- in this coun
ty, that of a man pos.essing very ordina
ry capacity but of respectable character.
It reqUires more genious than you ever
had to be successful in the treacherous
and unprincipled coarse you have been
leading for the last few years. This
iyOu mast now see ; for even the treache
ry of Cob Blair (although the reward
was to have been a Brigadier General
ship) is only repaid by an office which is
a disgrace to any white man to, hold.—
Blair has more ability than you, George,
and yet he has been compelled to des
, cend from the honorable and rc,ponsible
position of Colonel, of a Pennsy lrania
Regiment to be Provost Marshallo posi
tion in all respects on a level with the
slave catcher of the South. He forfeit
ed his own self respect by l!is defection
from Democracy or ho never would
have condescended to 4act the .part of a
blood hound for the Wastington Des
potism. George when you and Blait'
meet, consult together and see if yin
both did not make donkeys of yourselves
by your perfidy towards your former
party friends.
—The white man who trial to kiss a
nigger wench and because she refused

THE SHADOW OF COMING EVENTS
A telegraphic despatch, to a gentleman of
this city, stays the ...1;c of this morning, an
nounces that at the election held in Nevada
Territory, for the adoption of a _State Con•
siltation, and also fur the choice of a dcle•
gate to Congress, the Detuocratic ticket vras
elected by some 1,200 nta . ;otity. A. C
Bradford, Democrat, is the successful can-
Au.late. This is clearly indicative of a sure
Democratic triumph in California and Ore
gon.
Indeed, we have itiMmation, by very re-
cent letters, that leaves no more doubt of
those two States coming to swell the triumph'
of Democracy, than we hay° of Now Jer.
Rey or Pennsylvania. The despatch from
Nevada is unquestionably reliable.
ANOTHER REPUBLICAN PAPER FOR
' McCLELLAN.
We can scarcely pick up an exchange
withosit noticing some important accession
to oar ranks from those of our opponents
The Ann Arbor (Michigan) Journal, one of
the ablest and most influential Republican
papers in that State, has taken the names of
Lincoln and Johnson from the head of its
columns, and substituted the name of Geo.
B. McClellan and Geo. H. Pendleton. In
justification of its course, it uses the follow
ing arguments, when we commend to the
notice of every honest Republican :
'Public sentiment in favor of Gen. Idc-
Cliati has been increasing in fordo very rap- I
idly during the Itiit,ihirty days. A large ma
joriljt - octbe people seem to be strongly im
pressed with the necessity of abandoning
the Abolition policy of Abraham Lincoln of
falliug,hack upon the Constitution as it is.

Union, and. is capable of prosecuting the
war successfully and determined to restore
the Union as it was, * * * * * *
Being well satisfied with the nomination
of Glen. McClellan, and with the resolutions
constituting the platform adopted by the
Democratic National Convention, we shall
' give our support to that ticket, and flare ta
ken frbrn the head of our oolumns the names
of Abraham lAtiooln and Andrew Johnson,
and substituted in their planes the namett - of
George B. McClellan &Fut Geo. 11. Pendleton.
We do this in the full and firm belief that it
is impos,ibio to restore the Union and to es
tablish peace throughout the United States
under the emanifipationpoliey adopted and
persisted in bythe present Administration ;
and that it is neetissary to change riders,
with a view to a change of the policy of the
Government, that those most desirable and
important objects may be attained,

been ignored and neglected in the Northern
States. These were the true, t e tradition

tion of the United States, and ofLtre States.
Tradition, from father to son, inia.kept alive
here and there, at the North a faint glimmer
of those teachings. 'But Yankee schooling,
and l'ankre On", books and misinterpreta•

stitution alone prertmt etl tint disruption of
the Union in 1801—twelve years after it was
inaugbrat ed. This is it matter of acknowl
edged history. It. is equally a historical
fact that for the last half century, at the,
North—in all the Sort hern States, this nom
inally accepted, and only correct, Jefferso
man interpretation of the Constitution, has
been ignored. It was ignored under the
Administration 'of Jefferson's successor,
Madison—a "Southern man with Northern
principles!" It was ignored under the well
meaning Monroe—a good man, whose for
tune it was to rule in an "era of general
good feeling." There was some slight "re
torting to first principles," under the sec
ond Massachusetts Adams, in order to upset
his insidious Yankee policy,. This subsided
when, in 1828,`Gen. Jackson, as a Derunrat
was elected President. His purposes were
Rh patriotic—singularly disinterested—but,
without Ms meaning or willing it, partisan
ship took a new mart, under his tultninistra

being re-elected, became the father of Free

Since Nan Buren's time, polities, at the
North, have gone from bad to worse. Thetis
has been no generous reliance on the virtue
of the people. There has been no general
tippol,to them, onprinMp/e. Political cam
paigi have been conddeted, generally,,by
chirlatins, paid and huckstering buffoons,
and the like. There has been nothing like
what was kept up in the Southern Stated,
where their ablest publio mon went before
the people, and in long arguments, discussed
• fundamental principles. ••- .
