places of holding Borough and Town
ship elections, on Saturday, the 7th
day of August, 1869, between the
hours of 2 and 7 o'cloCk, p. m., for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
County Convention to be held..in_thc
Republican Qlub Boro'
of Bellefonte, on Wednesday the 11th
day of August, 1869, at 1 o'clock p. m.
It will be the duty of the Convention
to nominate

of the Orphan's Court.
One candidate for Recorder.
One candidate for Treasurer.

WM. P. WILSON,
Chair'n nion Repnb' n Co. Conn
To the Republicans of Centre County.
On next Saturday you will assemble
at your several places for holding elec
tions. Your voices in the selection of
candidates for our tit:AO — us county offi
ces,will then be heard. If all give this
very important matter. their attentian,
and use their best judgment in select-
ino,,and energy in supporting, our nom
inees, 'we are sure of a complete and
lasting victory in Centre county. As to
the State, all we need is to get our vo
ters all to the polls. Our victory over
PACKER will be easy if only our people
do not neglect the duty of voting.
But in this county, the contest will
be very close. We have gained rapid
ly cn Democracy since 1863 at every
fall vote.
It would he well for all Republicans
to be at our delegate elections on Sat
urday. I suggest that, as under our
new law—known as the Registry Law
—all the Borough and Township offi
cers must be elected in October, that
full tickets be made in each and every
township by the Republicans, to be
voted for on the 2nd Tuesday of Octo
ber next.
My official connection with the Re
publican party will close with the As
sembling of the Convention on the 11th
of August. This last year has seen a
great contest, and the grandest suc
cess ever known in the annals of the
Republican party in the county, the
State and the Nation.
All that is necessary to a complete
and final victory of true Republican
ism, is that we all give a reasonable
share of our time, attention, and ener
gy to the aid of our cause. Let every
Republican in Centre county attend at,
and attend to the delegate meetings
next Saturday.
W. P. WILSON, Chair'n
IN former times we heard a good
deal about the "bloated bondholders,"
but with Twenty Million Packer for
their candidate it is presumed that the
Democracy will not say much on that
subject. Either PACKER is an im
mense holder of G vernment bonds ; or
belonging to the SEYMOUR class, wh o
never took a bond because by so doing
they would support the Government,
has his money well invested in some
thing else that pays better. What
ever the fact is, the party is clearly en
titled to all the good it will do them.
Until further advised, we shall treat
the Democratic candidate as the most
bloated of the entire tribe of bloated
bondholders within the limits of Penn
sylvania, and intent on getting his coin
for both principal and interest.
ASA PACKER showed his patriotism,
when the war broke out, by going to
Europe, and remaining several years.
The whole male portion of Governor
Geary's family, able to be in the army,
was there fighting for the preservation
of the Union. As to the Governor,
every body knows his enviable record.
IN Pennsylvania, the colored men
admitted to the ballot by the adoption

all on the wing.
EDITORS
Such a buzz among the hornets of
the "Court House Nest," has never
been witnessed, as does at present ex
ist in our romantic town. There is
the black hornet, the white hornet,
the waspish hornet, the sly hornet,
the yellow hornet, the striped hornet,
the Sugar hornet,the ring-tailed hor
net, the bald faced hornet, the Gray
hornet, and the - MEEK, or king hor
net—all on the Wing. with stings as
sharp as needles and full of poison,
ready to make war and inflict the se—
verest punishment upon their coun
try cousins who may
,have had the
hardihood, or boldness, or ambition,
to attempt to meddle with them in
their snug and cozy nest. For six or
eight years they-have ruled with un
disputed sway. They have their Court
House nest, and the new jail nest, so
completely fixed—and so extremely
comfortable—and the MEEK, or king
hornet, has his eyes so intently fixed
upon the money bags of the corrup
tion ring in Harrisburg, that he, with
all the others, have sworn ; if hornets
can swear, that not a single country
hornet shall invade their nest without
suffering the most excruciating tor
ment for his audacity. The whole
swarm, or hive, appear to be united
with their KING, against the singing,
or mc-fa-sol-la hornet of Yennsvalley.
It has been determined here; as in
England, that " the King can do no
wrong," and if his country—subjects
will dare to dispute his authority they
must be subdued ; the music knocked
out of them; their stings extracted,
and finally crush'd into the meyer. Now
there are several kinds of mire that
these hornets destest ; but the lan
guage of the King,at present,is,"save
me hom JAKE MEYER," The whole
swarm have heard his petiti n, or i ath:
er mandate; and have determined to
save him. It will never do, they say,
to let their King be illeyff' d. In re
turn for their obedience and timely
aid, the King, no doubt, has promis—
ed to divide the rich pickings of the
BURNS nest in his Harrisburg domin
ions. It has been solemnly determin
ed, in the Convention of hornets as
sembled, that only those who stand
faithfully by the King shall be re—
warded. So, with renewed energy,
they have all gone to work to repair
and strengthen the nest. Some are
WEAVERS ; some are at work on the
HALL'S; sonic are watching the
WOLPE'S ; some are for painting the
jail part of the nest BROWN ; some
say the Treasury Department needs
DOBBIN -S ; some stand idly by and
put in their LIP (by the) TON, and
the whole swarm have determined to
KEEP-HART and secure their Hots
ter-a-mANif they are compelled to run
night and day over the country to se
cure cert%ficates. It is really amusing
to see them buzz and stir, FORSTER.
they do, not being fighing hornets,
they despise loyal soldiers and make
the WOOD-RING in declaring their de
testation of all such. The Felix, felic
itous, or rather would-be happy free
trade hornets declare their detesta
tion of the blacks,and swear by jabers
that they will have the Prothonotary
part of the nest, or KELL-HER.
But seriously, there is a nice fight
going on between the pets of the
Court House Ring and the people—the
honest masses of the Democratic par
ty. In our two last numbers we have
shown how eager the Ring is for office,
and how the MEEK or KING hornet
was willing to sell out or betray all the
smaller lights, so as to make his calling
and election sure. The low, personal
attack made upon us by MEEK, for no
other reason than the publication of
his travels, and choice sayings, in
Pennsvalley, is sufficient proof of
the truth of all we published. False
hoed never injures or riles a man; but
truth, when it is told, cuts to the very
bone. It was the truth of what we pub
lished, that hurt PETER. He knew
what he had said to Judge HOSTER
MAN. He remembered who he had
maligned: and he, at once, upon see
ing our paper, concluded that. there
must have been
"A chi'l among 'em taken notes,"
An' so there was, and 'faith' we printed'em."
On last Wednesday, as soon as PE
TER saw our paper, he harnessed up
his blooded nag, and started, for the
third time, to Pennsvalley. On Fri
day, in his Paul-De-Cos paper, he
published what he alleged to be a cer
tificate from Judge HOSTERMAN, prov
ing that the report, as published by
us, was untrue. But he makes the
Judge prove too much. How can the
Judge testify to what MEEK said to
SPANGLER ? How can he, in that cer
tificate, say that PETER did not, while
conversing with Mr, SPANGLER, call
Col LovE—honorable man as he is—a
"Loop fossil ?" &c. Does MEEK not
care for the good will of Col. LOVE?—
It would scent not; else, why would he
pass Mr. SPANGLER on his way to
Judge HOSTERMANS, and again when
he returned, and not procure the cer
tificate of Mr. SPANGLER to prove that
he had not villified Col. LovE? Sim
ply because he knew he dare not put
SPANGLER on the witness stand. Why
did he not continue his third pilgrim.
age to Millman, and procure certifi
cates from the men with whom he
there conversed, to prove the falsity of
that portion of our report? He does
no such thing. PETER is too smart for
this; but he makes Judge HOSTERMAN
say, in speaking of the report, "I have
simply to say that it is false, and stn
true, in every particular." Again, we
ask, does Judge HOSTERMAN know
what PETER said to SPANGLER, or
what he said to the SMITHS, ALEXAN
DERs and Muss Ens, in Millheim ?
Judge HOSTERMAN'S certificate, there
fore, proves too much to be true. Why
did not PETER take us along, and give
us a chance to cross-examine the
Judge? This is what every honest and
fair-minded man will say PETER sho'd
have done. But this would not suit
his purpose, as we will show.
That we thought Judge HOSTERMAN
an honorable and upright man, is true;
and we said so, Have we been mista
ken ? If so, we are not the first that
have been mistaken in forming opin
ions of men; particularly politicians.—
Our candid opinion is, that PETER be
trayed and cheated JudgeHosTEßmAN.
It is well known that the certificate
was written by PETER, and not by the
Judge. Indeed, it is well known, that
MEEK prepared two papers. It may
be that the Judge signed one of them;
but we cannot believe that it was the
one MEEK published. Would the
Judge sign a certificate denying what
MEEk said to SPANGLER? Would he
declare a conversation false and untrue
that he did not hear? Yet this is pre
cisely what MEEK makes him do. We
feel confident the Judge did not sign
it, because he had before declared the
facts, as published by us, "substantial
ly true," and the Judge, although a
Universalist in his religious belief, and
thinks there is no hell, is not the man
to go back on his word.
Even in the certificate that MEEK
says he signed, the Judge does not de
ny that he had a conversation with
MEEK concerning the very matter
charged by us in our report, but ob
jects to the manner in which we charg
ed it, and we think he may have sign
ed
such paper, but never the one
MEEK published last week, with HOS
TERMAN'S signature. Na. The truth
is, MEEK has imposed upon Judge
HOSTERMAN, and made him contradict
himself, for he makes him say, "there
were no such charges, as reported by
the REPUBLICAN, made against any
one."
We do not like to lose :our good
opinion of the Judge; but will he give
us, or the public, in his own way, and
in his own language, the conversation
he had with MEEK concerning
the candidates now announced,
and named in our report, without con
suiting PETER about it? If he does,
he will confirm the truth of all we have
published. We will give the Judge
this one chance, before calling our• wit
nesses to the stand to impeach what
he is made to say by the certificate,
written and published by PETER, the
king of the hornets.
The Price Per Capita Fixed--A Chair
man Appointed at Last.
There has been, since the meeting of
the Democratic Convention, quite a
contest going on among the savans
of the party in relation to the Demo
cratic State Central Committee. It
was decided that ruin and disaster
would follow if Coffee pot WALLAcE
was re-appointed. His appointment
would never do. A new man must be
selected. The fight waxed warm, and
bitter; but at last WM A. GALBRAITH,
of Erie, whose best recommendation
for the position, was that he had been
virulent copperhead during the
war," was appointed, and it was al
leged by some Democratic journals that
his appointment was "so many nails in
PACKER'S coffin." Mr•. GALBRAITH,
no doubt, viewed the matter in the
same light, as he has since declined the
honor—absolutely refused to accept the
position. In this he has shown to the
world that he has a little sense left.
His resignation, however, re-opened
the old contest,and after a bitter fight,
SA3I RANDALL and BILLY MCMULLIN
were again thrown overboard, and a
Mr. MUTCIIELER, of Easton—a man
unknown to fame—was selected as the
victim for martyrdom.
The chairman having been selected;
the first business of the Democratic
State Central Committee will be to fix
up a " schedule of prices" for services
in the PACKER campaign.
The Village Record 'recommends
the following :
"A cheer for Packer, three drinks;
an offer to bet ou Packer's election,
$2 50 ; a discussian in his interest,
$5O; hunting up a new voter, $7 , get
mg out a coffee colored naturalization
paper, $10; denunciation of the Reg
ister Law, $1 25; an argument to
show that Packer commanded a corps
in the Union army, $lOO ; a good ar
ticle on his liberality, $40." To this
the Harrisburg Telegraph adds;
Wearing a white "stove pipe" hat,
25c.; publishing crack editorials twice,
10c.; telling o William Mutcheler
is, and what kind of work his select
ion means, $5OO 121; all below the
$5OO going for lead pencils, to be used
only in this particular work. There is
nothing like having things systematiz
ed to make work effective, and busi
ness men work so much better when
they know exactly what they may ex
pect. • Think of the enthusiasm which
would be produced among the penni
less politicians of the party, when
they know exactly how muck was to
be paid for each display."
When it is known that PACKER was
nominated simply on account of his
$20,000,000, and has paid into the
hands of the Democratic leaders al
ready. $200,000 to be used in the cam
paign, we think the Democracy of Oen ,
tre county will be very foolish to deposit
their votes for PACKER, until they first
secure the money to which they are en
titled per capita.
The regular ivo rata division of
$200,000 among all the Democrats of
the State - would be, we think, without
making a very close calculation, about
seventy-five cents a head. We sug
gest, therefore, to members of the
Democratic party, to make sure of their
seventy five cents before casting their
votes for PACKER. If they do not se
cure the money,tlie Court House Ring
will be sure to seize it.
Democratic Aid to Rebels.
We have, fiequently charged the
Democratic leaders with having been
in full fellowship with the rebels
.dur
ing the Rebellion. The record of
VAt-
LANDIOIIAM, Judge WOODWARD,.
HEISTER CLY3LER 3 W. A. WALLACE;
ASA PACKER and others, is too,tlear
in this respect to need proof. Their
whole course during the war.. protect
them to be in open sympathy with the
rebel . slaveholders. Anteerats, them-'
sblVes, and believing :thA
should own labor," and that it 'would ,
be better if the laboring men were
prived of the right of the elective fran,
chise, it would have been almoSt -
possibla for them to be found aiding
the Government and her noble defen
ders—the "Boys in Blue." Opposed
to everything like true Democracy; op
posed to a: liberal Government, in
which all men were declared to be
equal, and treated as equals, it is not
strange, we say, that they should ar
ray themselves against the Govern—
ment, and throw the weight of:their .
money, influence and sympathies in fa
vor of the men who thought as they
thought, and believed as they believed
-JEFF. DAVIS and his co-workers in

To this day the masses of the Dem.

Chicago in 1564-nominated Gen. MO
OLELLAND as the Democratic candi
date for the Presidency, upon a plat-,
form which declared the "war a fail

"slaughter and disgrace." This, we
say the masses of the Democratic
party could never understand ; nor.
could they ever understand the pro==
test of the party leaders against Coer
cion, the declaration of these ledders
in favor of State. Sovereignty; their
assertions that the traitors could never

by E. A. POLLARD in his History .of

standpoint. POLLARD'b history l or

others like him, would place any .con-

all the charges against the Democrats
of aiding and abetting the rebellion.
[lone: Democrats, read the following
riaragraph which we copy from POL
LARD, and then tell us,if you can,wbyr•
you adhere to such a disloyal and,
treacherous party :
"Scarcely any Northern man of any . ,
political persuasion outside •of fanati"
cism, doubted that if Johnson deThat-•
ed Sherman, or that if he even held,
his own—in short, that if the Smith'
accomplished mere negative results, in
holding Richmond and Atlanta—the!
peace party, which was at this time the!
whole Democratic party, would come
into power,turn the war into a Conven
tion of States and decide th.ire the ,
claims of the South, which it was a
foregone conclusion and a logical nee- -
essi?y could not be leas than indepen-.
deuce. Mr. Davis could not, fairto
perceive the significance of the Mica.: ,
go Convention, and was certainly- in-,
telligent enough to understand the
condition of parties in the North. • Ile•
had private correspondents in that Con
vention. Indeed it is well known that
during the entiro war,Mr. Davis ix - n{lll' 7 f
tained secret communication with many'
distinguished Northern politicians,gen -
orally those of the Democratic party.
The letters and documents he received
from them were se numerous that thby
were kept in a special; priVate arehife l , l :
entitled the Presidential Bureau of defrii
respondence. These confidences 4,6'6
kept from Congress, and even froitihik
Cabinet; few persons in Richmond.
ever knew of the existence of such. a
bureau; no curiosity hunter was 'ever
admitted to its papers : and so anxiOnS
was Mr. Davis to conceal them that 'it
is a curious fact that, some days before
the surrender of Richmond, he li g ,a
them conveyed to a secret place,where
they are yet supposed to be safely de
posited. In this "underground come , .
spondence," Mr. Davis had been well
informed of the Chicago Convention ;
that it meant peace for the North ank
independence for the South," as a dis
tinguished gentleman of New England
wrote him, and that all there was of
doubt of the success of the Chicago•
nominees depended - on the success of
his own administration at Richmond."

naming Cass, Hancock -, and McOafi'dY
les, as candidates before the PennSyl 7 '
vania Democratic Convention for the
gubernatorial nomination says : "Case
was supported by the Pennsylvania
railroad influence, and by the western
counties generally. He would have
made a formidable candidate at the
polls. General Hancock was evident
ly the choice of the masses of the
party,who felt that his military record,
would be a great source of strength:
Hancock would have got some Re
publican votes, and would have given
Geary a great deal of trouble. But the
party managers Stepped over both of
these and took up Packer, the'verij
man that the Republicans wanted to
see on the ticket."
SAYS the Chicago Post: The neunf,
nation of Rosecrans for Governor of
Ohio is a regular wet blanket on thO
Democracy. Poor Sam Cary is mad;
Vallandigham is mad ; Pendleton is
mad; and evreything is unlovely all
around. Old Pap. Thomas being off
on the Pacifb coast, with no intention
of returning, little Rosey will have to
take the soundest thrashing he ever
got in his life, next October, with no
body to save him from complete anni
hilation. Rosey always gets whipped
on the first day, and the first day is all
there is of an Ohio. election.
LATELY, amid the plaudits of the
Democracy of the whole country,
Senator Sprague proclai.ned the ap
horism that nothing is more coward

the Democratic taste in selecting a

' G RANDFATHERS' STOVE."
Our grandfather's stove, what a fun y old
thing,
So deep, so wide and so tall;
Now the people would say, who are stylish
and gay,
" It was only a hole in the wall."
It matters not what, it was pleasant to see
When night's mantle was flung over all;
Grandfather take down his good book and
read
By the light from the hole in the wall.
As the sturdy young men rolled in the great
logs,
They would laugh at each wintry squall,
Whilst grandma would sit on her old chair
and knit
By the light from the whole in the will.
The girls then wore home spun, end so did
their beaux's,
For pride was a principle small;
Aud courting was done and hearts have
been won
By.the light from the hole in the wall.
The neighbors were friendly wherever thry'd
meet,
With a word of true kindness for all ;
And joy was complete to hoar voices so sweet
Ring round that old hole in the wall.
In those days we know, folks eared not for
show,
Of improvements knew nothing at all ;
But 'twas really no joko, when great ohm&
of smoke
Rushed out from the hole in the wall.
But those days aro now o'er, We shalt l.rmw
them no more,
And all those old fashions have ltowni
'Whilst the solemn and gay Avq cc~niiug cat;;}
