ADDRESS OF THE COUNTY COMMIT
TEE
Ihntort taAr roleo • of Centre Coginty
On Tuesday Oct. ittlt the general elec
tion will be held. An yet. little if any
thing has been done to organize our for
ces to meet the enemy now in the field
who are working with all ofthe advanta
gos ore secruoath bound organizations,
assisted by Aliitoldicuonnts ofinoney rain -
is by their sgpret leagues and in many
instances stolen from the pockets of the
honest tax-payers oft his Commonwealth.
Ewan/ vA,d ,O rc is the ores o f lamj•le.
If wo wish to preserve oar county froth,
falling into the hands of the onsernu •
lons plunderers in. the abolition party
and at the Hattie time to assist our'tioble
comrades in other parts of the State, in
redeeming the old keystone from the
thraldom of mongrel domination and by,
that means relieve an fur as possible the
overburdened people of' our State from
the effects of reckless and profligate leg
islation, it behooves every Democrat in
Centre county to arouse himself, shake
off his lethargy:and go to work an becom
es a white man contending for the rights
and immunities of white men against the
cohorts of African military despotism.
If the white people of Pennsylvania de
sire to preserve to themselves and poster
ity the right of self government .and to
avoid the terrible fate of being ruled by
Layoncts in the hands of ikhrntal and
ig
noranttnegro soldierly, such n fate as has
already befallen the white people of ten
Staten of this Union, they must, by the
exercise ofenergy, activity, courage.sind
vigilance, maintain the rights bequeath
ed them by a patriotic ancestry. Th ra
ran sore be dose laser/. the ballot box.
If we are careless, and lone the present
opportunity of inaintaing our rights by
peneeable means, in a short time the
chains of despotism will be forged And so
strongly bound around Its as to leave no
possible means of escape but forcible
resistance. Already the radical revolu
tionists are threatening to"reeenstruct
the Northern States, by which they sim ,
ply mean the de'struction of the free gov
ernments of the States and the substitu
tion therefor of i litary despot isms which
are to be made ten fold more degradtpfi
end galling than usual by the power ffr ,
ing placed in the hands of negro soldiers
and such white officers:and men as are
willing to associate with and acknowl
edge the
.negroes IN their equals. If
the white men of Centre county wish to
eseatni such a fate as this, let them at
the cooling election vindicate their man
hood throughsthe ballot
'f wo years ago by the lethargy and
overweening confidence of our people and
the vigilance and activity of the enemy
we came near lAing the comity. Let us
not this year repeat such a grave and fa-
MI error If we permit the followers of
STEVENS, ASHLEY and CoNovrit,
gain a (hot hold in this county no lapse
oftime can wipe out the stinging disgrace
which will thereby attach to our party
Vo bate 6onl GOO to 800 majority in old
Centre, if we but see that every Demo- I
oratie vote is polled at the election
The only hope of the mongrels is that
our people will he careless and indiffer
ent and we will not poll our vote. They
are now boasting among themselves that
the Copperheads cannot get their vote
out because of the extra exertions they
made last year. Teach theseettemies of
the Constitution, by the result, thatsueb
hopes are illusory, and that Democrats
know how to value and bow to preserve
Constitutional liberty.
Although we have no President or
Governor to elect, yet no more impor
tant election has taken place for years
than the one we aro now approaching. A
successor to that great, pure and wise ju
riSt,lloll. GEORGE W. WOODWARD, is to
be chosen by the people of this Common
wealth. The candidate selected by our
party is eminently tit in all respects to
be his successor. There isnot a respec•
table abolitionist in the State that Map
not pay homage to the great ability, pro
found lull/ling and spotless integrity of
Hon.--Grottog SHARRWOOD. He stands
so high in the estimation of the legal
professio4nd the people that oven du
ring the bitter and proscriptive period of
the late war, he was re-elected to the
President Judgeship of the District
Court of Philadelphia without , ouposi-
Con. Some of the very men who were
then afraid to oppose him at home are
now raising the cry that he in a "traitor"
and "disloyal" to the Government, hot
ping by such foul means to impose upon
the people in the remote parts of the
State, and thus gain strength for their
rotten and fast dissolving party. Judge
Saitenwtnon's_apponent ILK New Ent
pettillegger who favored- a scheme son
emoted in Allegheny , oounty, for repudia
ting their county bonds, and who
.hes
pledged himself to decide every case
which comes Wore him aeoording to
the opinions and wishes of his political
party without regard to either the Con
stitution or the law. Let bunco men
choose betweeli these two candithites.
Centre county forms part of the 21st
Senatorial District and we now have an
opportunity of redeeming this district

from ilia mix representation of the last

one of our own fellow citizens Snwt Et
'l' Stirillair, Esq , '''ho is too well
known in this county pttsneed eulogy at
our hand., and itgainst'swhom no breath
of suspicion or slander dare ,be uttered.
His colleague lion. CURS. J T. MelN
ilitE, of Perry county, stands equally
high for both capacity and integrity and
,who in the Solute wilt, be beyond the
control ore wporations or eorruptionists.
Our opponents have nominated SAM Mc-
V 1111". or Huntingdon, who stands con
victed of briberyand corruption and who
escaped the ponitentiary by procuring
Executive pardon. With hint on their
ticket they have placed .1. K RonEssos,
of Juniata, the confidential friend and
supple toad of the notorious pimps and

No honest 1 epritilican even can vote for
such a tick t `• Besides the vast differ
ence in char eter and standing between
the Dembcr tie and Republican candi
dates
dates there re (Alice - and most impor
tant reasons ruby our ticket should be
elected. Centre county has great and
material interests which hive heretofore
been unrepresented in the Senate of our
State. We now have an opportunity of
correcting that evil. The people of this
courtly can rely with perfect confidence
upon Mr. 8111'11E1a mid his colleague to
attend fully and faithfully to all the lo
cal interests of this county, while if their
opponents are elected nothing can be ex
pected from them unless in each and
every case the consent of Jolty .1. PAT
TERSON is purchased with money Let
the people of this coupty in this instance
take care oftheir own interests,4nd this
can only he done Firnling`foriiill'OEßl*
and MCINTIRE. " f
We have a Legislative and County
ticket worthy of the confilence and sup
port of every honest man and round
Democrat. While it may be true that
equally good en who were before the
Cotanty Conyintion for various offices
failed to receive the nomination ; as a
choice between men equally competent
and faithful had to be made, no imag
inable reason exists why the friends of
the unsuccessful aspieants should not
render as hearty and enthusiastic a sup
pol to the ticket as the. , would undoubt
edly have done had their personal Friends
been placed in nomination. There is
not one candidate upon our local ticket
who is not in every nay qualified to dir
charge faithfully the duties of the office
for which he is proposed They are all
men ofcapacity and (Whig!' moral stand
ing in their respeetive communities.
Not. ithstanding this is the ample truth
the managers of the mongrel party in
this county in pursuance of a long es
tablished practice with Item are pub
fishing and circulating false, malicious
and black hearted slanders against the I
private characters of these good men, I
lisping by such such dishonorable means
-to impose upon a portion of the people
in various purrs of the county where our
different candidates may 'be unknown
It is hardly necessary to warn Democrat
against this old trick of the enemy. It
has been repented from year to year un
til it has been worn threadbare. No man
in the county has been placed upon our
ticket for the last five years who has not
been slandered in the same way. Let no
Democrat be imposed upon by this un
principled course of the enemy. Let
every Democrat lie on his guard against
the falsehoods which will be circulated
on the eve of the election. The brilliant
vitwaries whi'eli our brethern have achie
ved in Kentucky, California and Mon
tana together with the great gains they
'have made in Maine and Vermont have
made the leaders of the Abolitionists in
Pennsylvania desperate and reckless.—
They see that the end of their corrupt !
and traitors organization is approaching.
Nothing but the most desperate reme
dies can save them. They see t h e,
Pennsylvania is loA.to them unless they
resort to the basest and most detestable •
practices to save it. If the Democrat;
are active and vigilant nothing can save
the . Abolition party from utter ruin and
defeat at the coining election There
fore, let every De inoci at go to work with
a will and we can roll up SOO majority
for the whole ticket—State, Senatorial
and County.
By order of the Standing Committee,
JOHN H. OIMIS,
Chnirman.

The no.ertion go eon4tanily made by the
telltale that they represent the will of a
mijority of the tmertoan people In a reek-
CFI and boating lie 'At the fleet election
of Abraham Lincoln the Republican party
was shown to be in the minority by about a
million of the lOue actually cast At his
second election, when the loyal Statesalone
voted. Lincoln's vote was only ten per cent
greater than that oast for McClellan Had
their been no frauds practiced. in the ar
mi and sat hicue that small percentage
would have been greatly reduced or entire
ly (mamma. It is high time there was an
sad of ails swaggering assumption that the
officals represent• the will of the people.
It hoe always been plain that they did not
do so even in the North. Were toe Union
restored, they would at once sink into a
beggarly end powerless minority, even if
the negroes of the South should continue to
be voters They have relied much on the
constant repetition of what was always a
transparent faleehood. In nosense do they
represent the will of the people. That is
now being most satisfactorily demonstrated
by Ile elections. Pennsylvania will else•
tually dispose of that branen lie, so for as
she is concerned, on the second Tuesday of
October, and her people will 'enter a bold
and manly protest against the many crimes

the Stale convention in favor of negrp suf

As a mass, in my judgement they (the ne

their duties under this government than the

we have always permitted to vote. •.• •
I am glad to say that these people (negroes)
