Ant faces in our office.
Imperialism Established by the Court
House Ring.
We have maintained, and subse
quent events all go to prove, that the
Democratic party is fast culminating in
_lmperialism. A large majority of the
Southern portion: of the Democratic
party are openly opposed to a Repub
lican form of Goverment. They want
a strong Government—amonarchy-one
in which they and their lineal descen ,
(hints may always reign.
This suits theth exactly, because they
are aristocratic, and have realized that
being out of office does not pay. The
Democratic leaders North, so long ac
customen to obeying the beck and nod
of those Southern imperialistic nabobs,
naturally fall into their way of think
ing, and have commenced preparing
the minds of the Democratic masses
for the'new regime. We have been
-watching the course of these leaders
closely for a long time, but we had no
idea that they would attempt to show I
their hand so soon. The last Demo , .
cratic Convention in this county fully
developed the whole scheme, and
proves that the Ring, although not
Calvanistic, religiously speaking, do
politically believe that "once in power
always in power." So that they have
determin'd that powershall not pass out
of the royal family. Every member of
the household must he provided for.
Honest Democrats of Centre. if you
have any eyeS, or if you can, lay aside
s our prejudices, and see how it works.
The Democratic ,County Convention is
convened. And how? • Why in this
wise. J. D. SHUGERT, as Chairman
of the standing Committee issued his
mandatory, or imperialistic orders to
his political "Cooley's" to meet on the
7th, to elect delegates to congregate
on Tuesday, the 10th, and in Conven
tion assembled, confirm the ticket as
fixed upon by the " Typoons" of the
"Ring."
At the appointed time, the faithful
:net; but J. D SIIUGERT had not time
.to re mein. He, by virtue of his ini
.2)q,i4z/ power, appointed his father, S.
T. Sin;a:Ex,r.., Esq., as his procurator
to ifixu,p, ,auti put the machine going,
and bestowing,. the lineal line, the
franchise of said Chairmanship to the
old gentleman for the current year.—
Some of the delegates may think they
helped to do this. But we deny it,
and say,it was all fixed before the con
&'ention assembled.
Nosy look at the wisdom of tile move
ment on the part of his imperial ma
jesty, J. D. SHUG CRT. The Chair
manship is an important station. It
is a very important position financially
considered at this time, as Centre
county's share of the PACKER election
eering fund will go into the hands of
the Chairman of the standing Com
mittee. Now, our young friend LOP
knew this, and as "the old gentleman"
was Chief Clerk in the Patent office for
years, he knew how to take care of se
cret funds. True, my lord! J. D.
SCUGERT, familiarly called LOP, was
too cute, for the dupes assembled, in
the management of this nice piece of
financial business. It was nice finan
ciering. The question now arises, how
much of the PACK_ER • electioneering
fund will pass out of the hands of the
Chairman into the hands of the voters
—the men who do the work ? But who
will complain? Who dare complain ?
The mandate of his Imperial highness
must be obeyed and ;no , questions ask
ed.
EDITORS
Last year, it is said, that Hon. L.
A MACKFA - paid, for the use of this
county, $2,000. What became of it ?
Did the voters—the workingmen—the
hewers of wood and drawers of water
in the party get the money? A very
reliable Democrat has informed us that
he spent his own money, and that he
notic' d that a great many fang and fast
horses were bought, by those who did
not spend their own money, soon after
the election. Thus it will ever be,just
so long as the Democratic masses suffer
the Court House Ring and his imperi
al majesty to rule.
Honest Democrats, we appeal to you
to come back to your first principles.
Annihilate the "Ring," and all - rho in
any way support or uphold it. You
believe that the majority should rule,
and not a corrupt Ring. So do we.—
You believe in the Declaration of In
dependence, and in the Jeffersonian
doctrine of "Equal and exact justice to
all men. So do we. But your lead
ers do not. They are aristocratic, and
have chosen a millionaire nabob for
their Gubernatorial candidate—a man
who amassed his immense wealth by
oppressing and grinding the poor.—
You do not, (we know you do not) al) ,
prove their course. You despise their
pride and aristocracy—their Imperial
characteristics and proclivities. Why
then remain in the party ? Why act
and co-operate with such men? They
have always cheated you. They will
ever cheat you. Leave the foul party.
Come over to us. • Aid us to keep this
the purest and best Government in the
world. This is your only hope. Come
then, go with us, and we will do you
good.
A Slight Diffcrence.
A late Radical paper states that "J.
P. Gcphart has made one of the best
officers this county ever had.!'—
True as preaching, but where, under
heavens, does the Radical organ find
candor enough to acknowledge it ?
Watchman.
We didn't find it at all, nor did we
say it. You do not qupte us correctly,
thus giving further evidence of your
inability to tell the truth. Learn to
tell the truth, MEEK, and "Shame the
devil." What we did say, was, "that
our Democratic - friends claim that that
J. P. GEPHART has made," &c. PE•
TER, your pretended surprise will not
do, and if you had a particle of candor
you would tell that,for the very reason
given, Mr. G-EPHART was politically
sacrified by the Bellefonte Ring. Yes,
sold out to secure the nomination for
yourself and MORAN. But BlonAN
proved himself to be the true political
Ishmaelite, and killed you off. A lit
tle on the principle of diamond cut
diamond, you know, PETER,
He that diggeth a ditch for his neigh
bor, is very apt to fall into it himself,
so you in your anxiety for re-election,
and the defeat of Mr. GRPHART, fell
into your own pit. MORAN was a lit
tle more fortunate in the nominating
Convention ; but he will go down into
the pit on the 2d Tuesday of October
next. The people have determined
that this shall be the end of the Ish
maelite.
Where the Laugh Comes In.
" Lewis [less, the negro suffrage
candidate for Commissioner,made him
self rich,eheating his neighbors in Pot
ter twp., with worthless 'oil stock.' "
So says the Democratic Watchman ;
but will PETER 'answer this question?
In what does Mr. HESS show his rich
ness ? Men do not act the rascal gen
erally, without something to show for
it. Now, PETER, does show his wealth,
He struck the corrupt "Ile well"while
in the Legislature, and is building him
self a " brick palace" that will cost
$7,000, and if he had not been defeat
ed in the nomination this time, could
have secured sufficient through the
BunNsEs, to play the d—l, with poor
folks, and virtuous and- honest,so-call
ed Legislators. Too bad ! too bad !
It was a real shame to deprive PETER
of a few thousand dollars by refusing
to send him back to the Legislature.
PETER wanted to go "dree times,"but
Rings are sometimes ungrateful to
their tricksters, as well as tools.
Never mind, PETER. Dry up your
tears. BURNS and POTTER, will come
to your relief. Queery ! We would
like to know why the Patriot, Demo
cratic, and the State Guard, Radical,
refused to publish your name in their
list of honest men ? MEEK, "du tell."
IT is said the Ohio Copperheads
have lost faith in the virtue of soldier
candidates to lead their forlora hosts.
They are determined to take a full
blooded reble of the Vallandigham or
Pendleton stripe next time. Why don't
they try a reble Gen eral,assurae colors;
it would at least have the virtue of
candor.
Who was Cheated ?
JNO. MORAN, Esq., the "Ring" can
didate for Prothonotary, succeeded in
obtaining the nomination. He had
been clerk to the Commissioners for
nearly ten years, and has erected a
splendid castle which he values at ten
thousand dollars, and the "Ring" put
their rotation principle into operation
by rotating JOHN from one office into
another. To make a sure thing of it,
JOHN bargained with other candidates,
that if they would secure their dele
gates to go for him, he would transfer
his delegates to them. Some of them
did not trust JOHN ; but SIMON S.
WOLFE entered into the bargain, and
per contract, WOLFE' S delegates voted
for JOHN ; but when the vote was ta
ken on the Treasury candidates,JNo's
delegates were like KA.RTHAHS flea,
not there, to 'vote for WOLFE, but giv
en to another, whom, it was believed
at the time would be successful, and
beat WOLFE.
For let it be understood that the
Ring, to make sure, had two candi—
dates and JNO. MORAN had plowed
with both of them. WOLF did not
suit the Ring, until they were com
pelled at the eleventh hour to take
him or lose the war element or the
party. WOLE made it by the merest
accident. MORAN made it by sharp
practice. Who was cheated? What say
you SIMON S. WOLF Esq? You know
we are right. Now how does it stand?
MoRAN represents the anti-war or cop
perhead wing of the party. Smarr re
presents the war Democrats or anti
copperhead wing. Is J, MORAN or
S. S. WOLFE the better Democrat? If
WOLFE was wrong in going to war and
is now right, then j. MORAN, an able
bodied young and single man, was
wrong in staying at home and is wrong
now. Who is the true Democrat? The
man who voted for LINCJLN in 1864,
or the man who voted for MCCLEL
LAN ? HOW long do the Democrats
require a man who has been a soldier
to vote the Democratic ticket before
taking him into full fellowship? And
how long must anti-war Democrats
work in the harness before they are
considered equal to one of "LINCOLN'S
hirelings,"as MEEK would say? These
questions are very important. They
should be answered. If such men as
Col. LOVE, SAAL'L. HERRING, P. W.
BARNHART, B. F. BROWN, JAS. F.
WEAVER, Jos. WILSON, GRIEF DA—
VIS, and others—the old wheel—
horses of the Democracy of Centre
county are to be thrust aside for ever,
to make way for men, the new lights
of the party—the men who voted for
President LINCOLN in 1864, we think
it is high time they should know it.
The fact is the Ring is supreme, and
JOHN MoRAN is its prophet—the pet
of his Imperial majesty S. r. Sliu—
GLEN, the royal blooded chairman.
Somebody has been cheated ? Will
our honest Pennsvalley Democrats
tell us who ? Will the friends of Col.
LOVE answer? Will B. F. BROWN
speak now, or will he forever submit
to the tricks, hypocrisy and chicanery
of dish onest and unprincipled men?
Awake ! arouse ! or be forever fallen.
Pennsylvania For Pennsylvanians.
With a State pride which is com
plimentary to the people of Pennsyl
vania they have studiously adhered
to the rule of electing only natives to
the office of Governor. This high pos
ition has been filled by sixteen gentle
men, since the adoption of the con
stitution of 1790. Thomas Mifflin,
elected in 1790, was a native of Phil
adelphia; Thomas McKean, elected
in 1799, was born in Chester county;
Simon Snyder. chosen in 1808, was a
native of Lancaster ; William Findley,
elected in 1817, was a native of Frank
lin county : Joseph Hiester, chosen in
1820, was born in Berks county ; J.
Andrew Shultz, elected in 1823, wasa
native of Berks county. George Wolf,
chosen in 1829, was born in Nor
thumberland ; David R. Porter,select
ed in 1838, was a native of Montgo
mery; Francis R. Shunk, chosen in
1844, was born in Montgomery ; W. F.
Johnson, elected in 1848. was born in
Westmoreland ; William Bigler, cho
sen in 1851, was born in Cumberland ;
James Pollock, elected in 1854, native
of Northumberland ; Wm. F. Packer,
chosen in 1557, native of Centre ; An
drew G. Curtin, chosen in 1860, born
in Centre; John W. Geary, elected
in 1866, native of Westmoreland. Few
States can present such a line of Chief
Magistrates as this. The rrosperity of
the State, FO far as its Executive of
ficers have been concerned, has alwsys
been in the keeping of her own sons.
Right sacredly has it been guarded.
The people have been satisfied, and
as no good reason at present appears
why the time-honored custom should
be dispensed with, the resolve has
gone forth that it shall not be. What
ever minor offices may be given to
others, let the motto on the back of
the Executive chair be Pennsylvania
for Pennsylvanians. This is even more
than a matter of pride now, for the
wealth, influence, and commercial in
stincts of the Democratic nominee all
tend toward New York, a city that
would gladly gain control of our great
coal and iron regions for its own ag
grandizement and our ruin.—PhiPa.
Press.
NOTHING can be more frivolous, fool
ish or absurd than the statement that
Judge Paeker made his money by the
"sweat of his brow,"as a laboring man.
The Mauoh Chunk Gazette. perti
nently asks—" How many workmen on
the Lehigh Valley Railroad will ever
make $20.000,000 by the labor of their
hands,—and they probably get better
wages than Mr: Packer did when he
was poor.
Packer's Fraud.
The following article from the
Mauch Chunk Gazette, reveals more
of Packer than is to be learned from
Democratic biographies. Is a man who
would be guilty of so contemptible a
dodge, fit for Governor? Read it and
then answer : The impression has
gone out through the papers of the
State that Judge Packer's residence
is in this county. This is a mistake.
It is true he has a splendid mansion
here, that his family reside in it, and
that he regards it as his home, but in
1867 he took up his legal residence in
in the Sixth Ward, Philadelphia, by
having himself assessed and his taxes
paid there. He did this to avoid giv
ing Carbon county the benefit of the
revenue it was entitled to derive from
the legal taxation on his vast estate.
The County Commissioners and Bor
ough Councils, however, succeeded
by legal process in collecting the taxes
for that year, which had been assess
ed here, but which he hoped to be
able to transfer to Philadelphia. Since
then Mr. Packer has lived here just
as he has done for the last twenty-five
yea"s, and has utterly refused to con
tribute by his taxes to the support of
our schools, our almshouse, our roads,
and our borough—dodging thequest
ion by a nominal residence in a dist.
ant city. This procedure, which
perhaps his friends can reconcile with
that. "honor" of which we hear so
much in connection with his private
character, evinces a spirit of petty
spite and a lack of local pride that the
people of thie county do not palliate
or forgive. Mr. P. still delights to be
recognized as the head and front of
the extensive interests of Carbon coun
ty and the Lehigh Valley. The foun
dation of his colossal fortune was laid
on its soil and all his enterprises are
located. And yet by a legal subterfuge,
a trick,he defrauds the county of taxes
which rightfully belong to its treasury,
and leaves its ablic institutions to
the care of citizens of less ability but
greater merit, by turning over his
taxes to a county a hundred miles
away.
It may be urged that he has aright
to select his residence wherever he
may see fit. So he has, and if he pays
taxes where he honestly resides we
shall have no fault to find. But for
him to retain his actual abode here
and yet pretend to reside in Philadel
phia, for the purpose we have stated,
is simply insufferable, and we protest
against his claiming to be "of Carbon
county" so long as he refuses to pay
his taxes within her limits."
-- Pe dleton and Packer
The . nomination of George H. Pen
dleton for Governor by theDeokocrat
lc Stare. Committee of Ohio,in iilace of
Gen. Bosccrans, who declined the, dti•
m
bions honor ; places the Deoerimy of
Ohio in full accord with the 'party in
this State upon the leading questions
in national polities. The Lancaster
Express says : " Unlike ROsecrans,
Pendleton notoriously sympathized
with the rebels and secessionists, and
like Packer he was a friend and-admi
rer of Vallandigham, whom Rosecrans
discharged into the rebel lines as a
traitor. A minor point of resemblance
between Pendleton and Packer is that
both are carpet baggers in the ,, State
they aspire to rule over-Pendleton be
ing a Virginian and Packer what the
Copperheads would call a bluelight
Connecticut Yankee.' Both are - weal
thy men, though we never heard that
the taxes on Pendleton's property were
so enormous that he was under the ne
cessity of claiming residence in
_a dif
ferent county from the one where his
wife and children made their hoMe, in
order to.avoid paying them , and this
shows that Packer is,in some respects,
the more talented man of the two, and
able to teach his Ohio compatriot some
things the latter would never r' have
thought. Upon the whole, however,
they are remarkably well matched,and
it is not to be doubted that the people
of their respective States will show an
equal appreciation of their merits in
October next.
ASA PACKER belongs to the class of
"bloated bond holders" about whom
the Pittsburgh Pose has so frequently
shrieked itself hoarse. Worse than
that, he belongs to that "precious
mean" class, who after getting very
rich contrive to shirk out of their tax
es. He fled from his home in Mauch
Chunk to a second-rate Philadelphia
hotel, by which operation he managed
to get rid of paying several thousands
of dollars in taxes annually. Of course
these thousands have to be paid, and
it is not too much to say that they are
paid by those who are not as able to
pay them as Mr.PAcKEtt himself.—
There is something indescribably small
and mean in a fraud— for we can des
cribe it in no other way—like this.—
Men who resort to tricks to shirk their
taxes, when discovered are universally
and justly despised. No one pretends
to deny this statement concerning
PACKER. As a mirror reflecting what
kind of man he is, its accuracy is not
questioned. In these days of taxation
the legacy of the treasonable leaders
whom PACKER followed as far as he
could without shouldering arms for the
South—this proven meanness, not to
say downright dishonesty of PACKER,
ought to be enough to insure his rejec
tion overwhelmingly by the honest tax
paying masses of Pennsylvania. A
man with twenty million dollars play- .
ing carpet-bagger to get rid of paying
his taxes equally with his fellow citi
zens, surely is not worthy of their votes
for their highest honor.—Pittsb' g Com

arrived in Harrisburg at 5.15 a. in.,
next morning, and at 5.25 a. in., same
morning, left Harrisburg on the fast
train for N. Y., over the Lebanon Val

fort, are unsurpassed by those of any
other railroad in Penn'a., and its em
ployees are courteous and attentive to
passengers— a rare quality to be found
among Pennsylvania Railroad
I will not attempt a, full description
of N. Y. city, for no mind,in our opin
ion, is equal to the task ; but if we
were obliged to make a choice of per
manent residence between N. Y. city
and that foreign country that we used
to read of in an. ancient book, and
which is now occasionally alluded to in
the pulpit, where the therometer is
supposed to remain at 500 deg. (f. h.)
in the shade, the year nand, and the
babbling,howling and cursing of its in
habitants are supposed to be heard on
an adjoining planet; we would willing
ly pay 500 per centum, as a bonus for
a residence in the ancient kingdom in
preference to N. Y. city. The most
singular thing is the fact that N. York
remains in exactly the same latitude
and longitude that it was in when first
laid out by the Amsterdam dutch.
The inhabitants of Gotham have
commenced removing the foundations
of "Hell Gate" by submarine blasting,
with the intention of eventually re
moving the gate and make it passable

becoming known to the Ancient King
dom, caused considerable consternation
among them, and they declare that if
the Gothamites succeed in their under
taking that the moral standing of their
people will be greatly impaired.
New York has more of the extremes
of wealth and poverty than any other
city on this continent. Railroad kings
and rich bankers rule the Island. Mis
ery is situated in the midst of private
and public opulence,with all the means
to alleviate it.
The city is supplied with water from
the Croton River by and aqueduct
which conveys the water of this large
river into a reservoir which forces it to
the top of every house in the city whose
owners desire it. It was seven years
building, and cost $12,000,000. The
wateris brought fifty miles. The re
ceiving reservoier covers thirty acres,
and the distributing reservoir occupies
four acres.
The city contains twenty public parks,
excinsive of Con' I t'ark,which contains
;•
eight hundred and forty-three acres.
This park has nine miles of carriage
drives, with five More of saddle rides.
It is furnished with 224 miles of walks
over costly stone bridges, around beau
tiful fountains, and amid delightful
breezes from artificial lakes.
Blackwell's Island, in East River,
receives the victims from the 'Tombs,'
who are hurried off daily to clear the
jails, with scarcely the formality of a
hearing. There is no more respect
paid to the right of prisoners to an im•
partjal trial, than there was in the
Spanish Inquisition. The accused find
no sanctuary of justice in the purity of
the ermine of the judge, or the majes
ty of the law, in the temples of Goth
am. How often do we see imposed up
on the convict, a fine of fifty dollars,or
six months imprisonment, as the sol
emn sentence of justice. What is this
but selling justice by constraint for fil
thy lucre? How can dollars and cents
atone for criminal violation of law ?
the criminal has money he can buy
this generous indulgence to invade,
with impunity, the offended n4esty of
the law. Justice has become a mod s ,
cry; the public mind is disordered;
the imagination perverted in relation
to crime, and the whole tbmalation of
civil society seems to have boon built.

fraud his neighbor out of his properly

boy take a handful of wood to keep a
a sick mother from freezing in a wretch

that mother from the scanty fine of
wretched poverty, and society is shock

Attorney who is paid two thousand
dollars a year to prevent the affections
of a son from rescuing a mother from
the cold charities of the world, out of
the abundance that Nature has so
bountifully bestowed on the family of

complain of Geary's fondness for cold
water. Why, bless their dear souls,
Gnarl , never took as copious a draught
of cold water at any one time in his
whole life as did Asa Packer on the
occasion of his famous involuntary
canal bath.

The " run" ofJudge P:.eker for the

many as a good joke. It will doubt

cGRANDFATHE RS' STOVE."
Our grandfather's stove, what a fun . y old
thing,
So deep, so wide and so rail
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,
IVhilst grandma would sit on her old chair
and knit
By the light from the whole in the wall.
The girls then wore home spun, and so did
their beaux's,
For pride was a principle small;
And courting was done and hearts have
been won
By the light from the hole in the wall.
The neighbors were friendly wherever they'd
meet,
With% word of true kindness for all;
And joy was complete to hear voices so sweet
Ring round that old hole in the wall.
In those days we know, folks cared not for
show,
Of improvements knew nothing at all;
But 'twas really no joke, when great clouds.
of smoke
Rushed out from the hole in the wall.
But those days are now o'er, we hall know
them no more,
And all those old fashions have ilowp;
Whilst the solemn and gay are coming each
day
To purchase the famous "OLD HOME."
Coming not only in couples, but in scores,
as hundreds of good and wise men and
women have done before, to look — upon this
magnificent stove, which is acknowledged to
be the best cooking stove of the age. Re
