The Democratic Watchmen. BY P. GRAY 'ERR Terms, $2 per Annum, in Advance BELLEFONTE, PA Friday Morning, June 11,1869 Whither are we Drifting? tE It is profitable always to look back over our history and to mark the pro gress or retrogression made, and to care• fully observe whither we are drifting. If the thinking men of this day, who are at all familliall*Tvith the earlier tory of the formation of our Federal constitution and the institution of pop ular freedom in this country, will look back over the misty and cobwebbed pages of the past, they cannot fail to see that we,ts a people, have moved off from the landmarks of our fathers and that we are virtually in an open sea as to the future, and by no means sure of compass or chrtil; When the early patriots arose and ventured to re bel against the mother country, which had protected and yet oppressed them, it was from no insane'desire of a few persons either to gain notoriety or pow er, much less to hazard life and prop erty for an end not carefully weighed sad deemed absolutely desirable A constitution was proclaimed, after years of labor in its e iv us t ruc tio,,, by the indorsment of all the States :then composing the American Union, each for itself; but.that constitution was the work of men of compromises and concessions. For a time North Caro lira, New Jersey and even New York declined to ratify it, so fearful were the men of that day in building up a pow er higher than the power of their own free and independent State sovereign ties. In the convention which framed the original compact betn evil the States, under which principally was fought. the war of the Itevoliition against George the Third, all the trials which the American people have pas , - ed through in the past seven years, were with almost prophetic accuracy fearfully hinted. And during 011 r a hole history the same notes of warning 11'0111 the hthiest Statesman of the past hate fallen upon the people in the clari , in notes of a WEBSTER. a CLAI, a Cm 1101'N, a 111 Y NS, a Ql Tsll\, :1114 it DOUBT (SS.

A Constitution patched like a pair of trowsers seutless, legless and bodyless —a mere relic of the work of other days—will be a dangerous legacy to leave the unsteady, poorly-raised and unfortunate millions *ho are to follow us se tulm . agA. people of this' coun try, Instead of patching patches, of Piecing pieces, and inaking up a con glomerate work of contstsion and oppo sites, why do not the people move' for a Supreme Sovereign Convention to re• form and re-institute a constitution for the people—something in which all the people will have a voice in its construc tion—not the patched patch of a party, which has a new amendment to otter for each new rascality .conceived. If the sacred and beloved Constitm tion of our fathers is important to ful fil the functions of a fundamental law, let the people so decide. Its revision by the people can but add to (lie iunrvel• ous power of its reinstitution. Surely the .country CRWIIO4, endure without a fundamental inw which shall have itq strength in the hearts and ven• (-ration of the people. A law which is not respected is a law insulted, and therefore worthless, and as follows, mist-hie% OUP. The old Constitution was gotsl enough for us ; but teems that its goodness is just what vitiates it in,the estimation of people who are now the worshippers of party, not of principle, law, or precedent!' But good .or bad, we Milk have a Constitution respected, if liberty, or any moiety of it, is to be saved from utter annihila tion in this country. It would lie dan gerotiN to any people to lie left to the will of party et en with i irtue R 9 the cornerstone of party ; but with such vilTaibv as lICIAV mien the' dominant party m this unhappy land, a ronsti tntion of some bold anti explicit char timer must be made the law and the sooner the better, The history of the world is proof that a constitution, 110 matter how good anti perrert, once trampled and set aside. is a constitution never after to be fully and completely respected'. The extreme character ul•the iliuinr which has become the supreme rule of the Federal 6mernment, cannot lie more clearly net torth than in the fact that it has made practically worthless the organic lire of the land—that it has made ole-olete the funriamental law— that it htlM peoloeilled the may nu charia of the lx•uple--that it was set up a power greater than the Constitution.

Late Publications Deep Dawn; A Tale of the Owni.gli Mines. By B. AL Ballantync. Phila delphia :J. B. Lippincott & Co. 1869. The surface of the earth and of the wa ter having been pretty well occupied by the host of novelists, who swarm in these latter days as frogs once (lid in Egypt, it is an ngrerftible variety to come across a story the chief interest which is subter raneous. The story, as a story, is pleasing enough in its way ; but the discriptions of the strange scenes in those vast artifi cial caverns which man's industry has wrought, extending even under the very sea itself, of the perils encountered by the miners, the constant hand-to-hand tight with the forces of Nature that here assail them in strange and terrible forms, of the singular habits and characteristics of these bbrrowers of the earth,—are in a high degree instructive and entertain- Jug. It is liko reading a story of ttai: el in unknown lands, where all is new and strange Wegrow familliar with things in daily use, that we rarely pause to consider— even if we know—the labor and the knowledge that have been necessary be fore they could be brought and fashioned to our hands, or the hazards that have been encountered and sufferings endufed tocontributelo our daily comforts. But after reading about the wonders of , patient skill displayed, and the frightful ri , ks daily encountered, as mere things of course, by these rough brave Cornkh miners, the plain homely metal tin, ac quires in our eyes an interest, not attach ing to those morc precious production , . of the earth, WillPiq ucyui<ilion Tully rather be called a caprice of forto TlOlllllll It triumph of ninn's courage and skill MASTER If v m n.
