or evil, the whole North and West to such
exertions of military, naval and -finaneial

any nation. And it was this grand and
pervading national sentiment, hedged by
the sanction of destiny, which,locording to
the measure of my ability, I undertook to

Mr. Jefferson Aforit: than. forty-kw year

BELLEFONTE, PA., FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1865.
,;
"Nothing is More Certainly written In the
book of fate, than that these peoph3 (negro

'that the two rates, equalty froo, oannot.live

And be advised gradual emancipation and

Upon the question of the political rights

enough for them to again interpose in the
dmestio affairs of the American Republic.
On this qtlestion, too,' the Democratic
party has tt record which it cannot reject.
It has proclaimed that though all men of
whatever race may be equal before the mu
nicipal law, yet that the governments here
were made by white men to be controlled by
the White race.
-Concerning-the Demurrage- -pselly-Its an
organization, with net, policies arising out
of the issues of the holm, many of them to
endure for a life-time, itr irtattelitial, in my
judgment, that a new vitality, be infused
into it. fir numbers, it itt_nnitti_pewerful
than at any former period. That it was
unsuccessffil, has been at times but the fate
of all parties. In the character, ability ? el
oquence, integrity, and love of country of
its public men, and the general intelligence,
honesty, and patriotism of its rnasees, it
May Challenge comparison with any party.
But for several years and more it has lacked
unity of purpose, and therefore energy of
?teflon. During the war especially, with
the Control of but ,two States out of the
twenty-three which adhered to the Union;
without power, patronage, or Winched in
the kederal Administratirm, and therefore
without epticial organisation or agency au
thorised or permitted to prescribe a com
mon line of policy and prompt united action
upon the new questions daily arising, and
with the most vigorous and vehement cen
tral authority against ever known, wielding
alike the clamor of patriotism and the ory
of religion, soling in politrs upon military
principles and through military idattitmen
talities, and to the whole power of the
purse, and that purse the entire wealth of
the country, rind the ,whole power of the
sword, and that sword the entire fighting'
population of the country, adding a sliver
vision and constraint over Mails, Speech,
person, railroad, lightning, highway, steh
mer, and telegraph, all the modes of action
and of locomotion, and every vehicle of
thought, such almie as the fabled Brisreos
might be supposed able to exert ; with sto
ry appliance of both °Mitch and State,
and of social and business organization com
bined against it, it is rather amazing that
the Dimoeratio party did not perish, than
wonderful that it should exhibirkigus of
partial paralysis. To-day, indeed, it lies a
powerful but inert mass, yet needing only a
new life-blood, a fresh vitality, the " Pro
utethean fire," to be infused into it.
There are those yet among the living who
were actors especially in Jackson's day, and
many, younger than I ant, who remember
when the party was a power in the pountry,
crating all the energy without any part of
the terrorism of the late Administration.
"Oh for an hour of Old'Dundee I" Without
more of courage, more vigor, more audacity
if you please, in grappling with great ques
tions as In former years, the Democratic
party cannot, ought not to survive and
must give way to scree other younger and
more vital organisation. If it is to remain
hi its present comatose sate, at now the
beginning of a new epoch in public affairs;
it were far better that it shottld lie buried
oat of sight at entre. Certainly I do not
adiise'lltat, it shall move without occasion,
and waste its rpertluous vigor upon the
air. "Rightly to be great is, not to stir
withotet great argument ?" and it may be
months before polities and issues are suffi—
ciently cleaned to require to act at all. But
the rbpose of. conscious power and the
lethargy of , threatentli dissolution alai very
different things.

as 6 htand point tor Of tetaarks:
The history of the terrible tragedy is tut
follows :—On the 17th day of April an
unknown, invisible and self-authorized body
designating themselves as "The Vigilance
Committee," sent. the following note to
Joseph Shaw, lato editor of the Carroll
County Democrat, the original of which
paper was found on the body of tild Unfor
tunate victim, and is now in the hands of
his aged Sather: •
WHIMMNSTXR, April 17, 1805.
Mr. Joseph Mate :
Btal—You ate hereby notified to leave
Carroll cntinty immediately—that is, before
sun-donn to day—under penalty of being
rode upon a rail out of town. 13y order of
Tug Vrettalmn Costarrrns.
On the same (jay a body of men represen
ting the aforesaid committee, attacked the
Asti of the deceased, completely gutting it
and destroying. beyond redemption the
material with which ho earned his bread.
The cases containing the type 'Were harneth
a valuable library destroyed, flip presses
battered and broken ; the Itylni,ture eon
signed to the flatfide, dad the destruction in
every respect rendered tion4loto. On the
receipt of the above note, the persecuted
innn reft his home and came to this city.
Believing all excitement had quieted down,
he negotiated for the purchase of tie* nig
terial and presses, and on the 24th of April
returned home for the purpose of again
tesdttlifig his legitimate tk,oootion. Whilst
in his room et night, this “itomtuittee," or
a similar body, piloted by the perhaps too
timid or credulous hotel-keeper, attempted
an entranee into his retreat, and upon hie
bristling the door, ?dr. Shaw was immediate
ly fired tlpan. Upon his returning the fire
of his assailants the light was extinguished
and the knife substituted for the pie'.
; the • awful tragedy concluding with
the dragging of the dying man down
the stairs to the barttlont, in his 'trait—
sitisti struck brutally over the head with
a olub, and thrown face downwards on
the floor, expiring amid the brutal jests and
obscene opidlots of his heartless assassins.
Barbarian tradition preserves no atrocity
more startling and -creel than this. the
anode of crime tarnish no pretedent thore
shameless, and no-condition of society more
demoralized than this. The °Bum of un
blushing guilt. has been reached, and a
Maryland jury sanctions and spree-tea the
( dreadful Ounsurtmtatidn. The heart sickens
at the gleknny recital, and• a crimson blush
tingles every - honest Cheek that a stigma so
foul should rest upon our State, and outra
ged justice brand with guilt the deoisietti of
such a jury. Good citizens may well be
alarmed when crime is encettraged and-thus
rewarded. The great. safeguards of the
leas of lied and man, are thue, licensed to
do their bloody work, and, unwhipped of
justice, turned loose to infect society pith
their malign venom-, -
It has never been our custom, and surely
not our desire to impugn the judgmedt of
our)uries atiff efitIOIC6 the notion of our
(matte. But. the murder of Joseph Shaw is
a ituioeot of no mean importatmei and where
(lentil:diens exist, we obeli he the last to so
tar depart from the solemn obligations of a
joins/di* as to pus them heedlessly by.
The blow aimed al the heart of an ..fittnible
editor, strikes the great unirersal guardian
of liberty and nroralityois dell as the mans
of community whom he represents. Had
the unfortunate man been buts rain °W

we are therefore oordpolledt to recognise in
hie asseisetindrert a blow levelled at the press
of the whole country, and himself a martyr
to the responsible vooation which forme the
solid groundwork of civilisation, arereflity
and popular freedom. Recognizing It as
such, it not only ; stands before us AS the
ruthless, shocking butchery of a liftman
being, but invests it with the dignity due
to the position of a' public censor, ~We are
surprised, then, at the inditibretioe of t h e

that for the sake of their own reputations,

As journalists, in part entente tlith the
reputation as well as morality of coMmuni•

excusable of all pretexts. A man murdered
for "opinion's sake," is a free republican
government! Let this go to the hearts of
every Anteridart ditiaen, that tor "opinion's
sake," a dissenting lento wields the mur
derous blade, and a jury of their peers—
peers in blood-guiltirtess, superiors in crime
—for one strikes down a representative than
the other outs with thlutintil intent at the
very existence of law, jnstice and society—
caresses the culprit's shoulder and exethims,
"well done, good and faithful servant." It
was for "opinion's sake" that one of this
Battle class of ,"Committees" struck down
the nation's head' and steeped a whole
people in tears and on the very day while
a national dirge was being chanted to
Heaven for the soul of the great departed—
even while the Militia of atonement were
wafted through the court-Bettie from en

detthttlided td sandrion brtheir verdict the
liddleroutine of' fiendish wickedness.
There may •be some who,' from partition
bias or an even more unworthy motive may
seek to palliate this avtftil spectadle, by
alleging that the Murdered man' had given
offence by his past doaddth. We know but.
little of Mr. Shaves antecedents/ l and care
