REPUBLICANS, TAKE NOTICE. —The
Chairman of the County Committee
suggests that the Republican voters
of the several election districts in this
county .meet on Saturday the 25th
inst., •,at. such places as may be fixed
on by their respectiveWigilanee Com*
mittees, for the purpose of nomina
ting candidates for the various town
ship and borough offices. All borough,
municipal and township offices, ( ex
cept the assessors,) must be voted
for at the earning October election.
Remember this, Republicans. Nomi
nate rood men and elect them.
The 'Tyranny of the "Ring."
The Court House Ring is an impe
rial body. It tolerates,neither.remon- .
strance; . opposition or independ=ce.:
It exacts servile and utter obedience
and cringing submission to its regal be
ests. to_its,Dictatorship by:
, one4fits.subjects, sets the-Whole ma--,
,chinery ef the: ting inquisitionlinano—
tion, and
. the refractory wretch must
indeed be made of sterner stuff than
the majority of his political associates,
if he does not yield and abjectly return
to his allegiance to the arrogant impe
rialism of the all-powerful Ring. Year
after year do we see this tyranny of
the Ring manifested and its mandates
enforced by appliances baser and more
revolting to every notion of moral and
personal independence, than the or
ders and decrees of Priests and Kings.
And it is rarely the political rack of
this Ring Inquisition when once in mo
tion,. fails to do its work. Few mem
bers of Centre county Dem ocracy,how
.ever insulted and betrayed, have the
royal independence to fling out their
banner of rebellion to Ring dictation
and withstand the result. The sense
of dependence and of servile submis
sion to the aristocracy of a few mas
ter spirits so long indulged in by the
masses.of. the ,party, -has completely
unfitted :its members =from asserting ,
• their independence, of authority -with ,
any probability of success. .Here and
there, some braver spirit-not yetlost toz
all personal sense of thought and inde
pendence of action breaks away . from'
: the net, and swims heroically in the
-race for liberty. But alas! ''tis-true,`
that he seldom reaches' the goal of his'
ambition ore he is engulfed in the
meshes spread by:lis tysanical pnrsu
ers and sinks despondingly-while - his
captors smile derisively athisfutile at
tempt and the success of their machi
nations.
How long will this state of things
continue? .Has the Democracy no in
dependence left in its ranks? Have its
cmembers so long submitted to the im
perialism of the Ring that they will
never assert their personal rights and
insist upon their admission? Each
succcedinT canvass but "draws the fet
ters closer and makes that impossible
which is now capable of successful
demonstration. Will the honest, in
dependent, thirling DeMocrats forev
er submit to this modern Court House
Ring Inquisition ? We would be sorry
to believe - that this shameful state of
personal submission will much longer
continue.
..,,,When Vol. Love reads the Re—
iporter's account .of our visit to his
,home in the Loop, he will diLeover
;how flippantly Met k,s " little dutch
,villain" of the Riportcr can lie. This
alone should be sufficient to compel
;the Col. to leave the party of crime,
-rebelliou,thieves,assassins and Thugs.
as it notihigh time that every decent
eDetnocratin the county should leave
;;he party.?
Paper-nAkers get bkhind, and that's
the cause of our delay.
The New York Cahn, established
by,and up to the day of his sad death,
under the able management of that
brilliant Democratic journalist, Chas.
G. Halpin°, better known as " Miles
O'Hiley," is a candid, out-spoken,
unpampered Democratic journal, wield
ing immense influence with that class
of Democrats who are disposed to let
reason and decency govern them. It
goes among the better class of its par
ty, reflects the opinions of thinking
Democrats, and its counsels, if adopt
ed, would, in many cases ; save the
Deinocratic party from shame and de
feat. In a recent number of the Citi-
EDITORS.
zen ae Editor gives a ;very .eompre-
hensive and correct 'view of the situa ,
tion.• In speaking of the Democracy
, of Pennsylvania, Ihe says :
" :No condemnation of the rebellion
against which the soldiers fought, even
though the soldiers ;were ,praised---the
omission beim.an insult, if any refer
ence.to the subject were ; proper. No
fitting expression in favor of economy
in public expenditures ; nothing, in
-fact, first or last, but the old negro
question and zeneral;abuse of Repub
licans. The self-same grumbling,with
out proposing an improvement ; the
same refusal to understand the altered
Position of the whole country, which
has led to defeat so frequently. The
nomination of a man with nothing to
r.commend him but the faculty .for
heaping up wealth, with no record
worth mentioning, and nothing about
him to arouse enthusiasm but his mon
ey. Not the first sign of true loyalty,
.nor the least evidence of devotion
to the best interests of the whole
country. Under such circumstan
ces we do not expect, nor wish that
the Democrats should carry Tenn
pylvania.
It would be difficult to group togeth-
er a dozen reasons more cogent thani
these why Asa Packer should not be
elected. Not one single charge made
by. the Citizen against the " bloated
bondholder" Packer, can be gainsayed
or explained away. It is treason—
cowardly treason—against brave devo
tion to country ; is wealth and its
overbearing aristocracy against the
rights and needs of the poor men of
the State ; it is senseless abuse against
reason and right, it is a, blind, bigoted
tirade and opposition to what is right
and inevitable. This is what this cam
paign is as between Asa Packer and
Gen. John W. Geary. We do not be
lieve that a craven in the time of his
country's perilous need : a moneyed
aristocrat who sbirks,his State and.na-
tional taxes that the same may be paid
by poor laboring men ; that a mo
nopolist who first purchases his nomi
nation and then by power of his rail—
road combinations advances the
price of coal $2 per ton in order to get
"even"— even off the poor man—can
be elected Governor of this Common
wealth by the votes of either patriot,
poor man or well wisher of our Sttes
prosperity and advancement.
The Lie Spiked.
- We last week had occasion to expose
the infamous attempt of the Demo
cratic representative in the Legislature
from this county, to fasten a, base cal-,
iminy upon GOY, Geary, in that he,
had pardoned the murderer Twitchell
—for a price. As yet no denial has
been made to our exposition. None
can truthfully be made. Gov. Geary,
that no man might, he deceived by the
published statement of Bon. (?) P. G.
Meek, addressed a note of inquiry to
Col. Peter Lyle, Democratic Sheriff of
Philadelphia, requesting to be inform
ed as to the truth of the statement and
whether there was any foundation to
the charge. Col. Lyle immediately
returns the following reply :
SHERIFF'S OFFICE,
PHILADELPHIA , Sept,l4, 1869 f
To GOVERNOR GEARY :
Dear Sir—l have just received your
favor of 13th inst., together with the
publication contained in the Bellefonte
newspaper of Sept, 3d, in relation to
the case of Geo. S. Twitchell. My at
tention had been called to this publica
tion several days since, but I paid no
regard to it, and looked upon it as an
idle story. There certainly can be no
doubt whatever that G. S. Twitchell
.committed suicide on the morning of
the .day -fixed for his execution. I
went to the Phil'a, county prison on
that morning tag) o'clock, together
with a jury of 12 citizens selected for
the porpose of attending his execu-,
don, and we entered the cell of Twit
chell and there found him lying: dead
in his bed. I-was familiar wit , h his
'features and person, and thad.no-dif-
Aeulty in detentifying him, Z. niil am
',very postive as to his death. I made
a return to the Secretary of the Com
monwealth of these facts under oath,
endorsed on the death warrant, which
you may refer to on file in that Depart
ment.The Coroner:also held an inquest
on the body of Twitchell on the same ,
day, and his report should be conclu
sive as to the death.
I certainly never received any par
don from you in Twitchell's case, and
never heard such a thing spoken of
until it appeared in the publication
referred to. I regard the publication
as an idle story, without any founda
tion whatever, and wholly unworthy
of any belief or notice.
I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully, yours,
PETER LYLE, Sheriff.
"Familiar with his features and per
son, and had no difficulty in identify
ing him." " Made a return
.to the
Secretary of the Commonwealth of
these facts under oath, endorsed on
the death warrant." ." Never receiv
ed any pardon in Twitchell's case, and
never heard such a thing spoken of
until it appeared le—the Bellefonte
Wafehman "I regard the publica
tion as an idle story, without any foun
dation whateuer,:a22d wholly unworthy
of any belief _or xotiee." What, says
our honorable member to this impeach
ment of his honor as a journalist and
high-minded gentleman, by the Dem—
ocratic High Sheriff of Philadelphia ?
A. similar note addressed by Gov. Gea
ry to Wm. B. Perkins, Esq,, keeper
of the Moyamensin,g Prison, calls forth
the following reply:
A -Comment.-
To ills Excellency John - W. Geary:—;:
Sift—Your favor of 13th instant
came duly to hand,.and I send by re ,
turn mail the document you . ask for,
hoping it will prove satisfactory.—
The whole thing is such a base fabri
cation, and so bears it on its face, that
the object is transparent to injure you,
but in that they will most signally fail.
I am your friend, &e.,
Wlsi. B. PERKINS, Sup't.
Sept. 14, 1869.
If additional evidence was required
by friend or foe of Gov. Geary, to for
ever settle any doubt entertained as to
the truth or falsehood of this infamous
calumny, it will be found in the follow
ing affidavit which explains itself, and
with the publication of which we drop
the curtain upon the actors in the most
_contemptible and futile effort to black
en a pure man's _character for political
purposes ever attempted iu this coun
try.
City of Philadelphia, ss.
Personally appeared before me, the
subscriber, one of the Aldermen ofthe
.city of Philadelphia,Wm. B. Perkins,
Superintendent Philadelphia County
Prison, H. Yale Smith, M. D., Benj.
F. Butcher, M. D., physicians of said
prison, and Patrick Cassidy, one of
the keepers of the same ; also Andrew
Fleming and John Clayton, who had
special charge of G. S. Twitchell Jr.,
who was sentenced to be hung on the
Bth April,lB69, on the charge of mur
der of Mrs. Hill,who,being duly quali
fied according to law, do derv , se and
say, that they lave seen an anony
mous letter dated Fort Shaw,Mon Lana
Territory, August 21st, 1869, address
ed to P. G. Meek,Esq., and publish
ed in the Belleente Watchman, in
which it is alleged among other things,
that G. S. Twitchell, Jr., the murderer
of Mrs. Mary E. Hill, is still living and
was seen by the wtiter.at that place.
This statement is ;absolutely false.
Geo. S. Mitchell, Jr., committed
suicide in this prison on the morning
of the ‘Bth of April, 1869, and a post
mortem examination of his body was
made by Dr. Shapleigh in the pres
ence of Messrs. Mann, Collis and (Y-
Byrne, ,the counsel who had defended
the prisoner, and also in the presence
of Dr. H. Yale Smith and Dr. B. F.
Butcher ( physicians of the prison),
Dr. Richard J. Levis, Dr. Alonzo L.
Leaeh,Dr. T. S. Butcher and Dr..ttller.
all of whom were familiar with the
prisoner's appearance in his lifetime,
and knew the body to be none other
than that of G. S. Twitchell, Jr. His
remains were also seen by members of
the press,who had been present at the
trial, by his father, and by the officers
cf the prison, all of whom knew the
body to be that of the man who was
tried and convicted of the murder of
Mrs. Meryl?, Hill, (his mother-in law).
At the post mortem examination his
brain, heart,. ate, intestines were re—
moved from the body and the trace of
prussic acid discovered. This was done
in the 1 resence of all the counsel and
physicians above mentioned, and the
bottle containing the remainder of the
acid was found by Dr. Shapleigh in
the identical boot of the deceaed
Twitchell. His remains were handed
to his father and recognized by him,
and were
.interred under the care of
Mr. Bringhurst, undertaker and
further deponents saith not.

Sworn and sui:scribed to before me
this the 14th day of September, A. I.
1869.
J. S. 'Boxs..u.r., Alderman
Won't Be Advised.
The Watchman, like the little dog
barking at the hole where the squir
rel went thro', continues yelping over
its silly invention entitled " Rote and
his Revolver." We, last week,advis
ed the Furious fellows who well nigh
butted out their brains (?) and reputa
ti.m in wild efforts to springA.,point
is that direction, to be sensibly COII-!
sisteut in this Rote canard. We were .
greatly surprised that the Watchman
should return to the charge. After
reading its Twitchell sensation, howev
er, we are prepared to see falsehood
proven the truth ; impossibities, pos
sibilities, and sunlight, moonshine.—
We shall not even be excessively sur
prised to see that the Watchman, in
lieu of anything more preposterous, at
tempts, on some future day, to prove
that it ever told the truth about an op
ponent, or ever thought of doing so :
that its Editors ever believed one word
they wrote, or heard of anybody else
who did. Still, we are suggesting that
which will probably never he attempt
ed by the Watchman.
But seriously, well-intentioned peo
ple not conversant with the truth tell
ing horror of -the Watchman, may be
misled, and attach undue, or rather
any importance to the story. The
Watchman speaks glibly of its knowl
edge of what it is impudent enough to
denominate "II:et:4," and ()fits itching
willingness to " prove" them. For
Aar the Watchman fo'Jcs may be
keeping back a good thing that might
spoil if kept, we write, in earnestness
the production of the "proof,"and the
n mes of the witnesses of the transac
tion. Give the public the names, and
that they shall receive all possible
prominence and notoriety, we hereby
vouch that they shall appear in the
REPUBLICAN in display letters. Name
one witness who will swear to the truth
of the Watchman's statement con
cerning "Rote and his Revolver,"
Concludinely, Mr. Rote, as we have
before stated, was, and is, by reason of
his lameness, physically incapable of
doing anything of the kind charged,
=had he any desire. He neither left his
-seat when wantonly insulted, or made
any movement that way, and we have
before us a list of names of men who
Ware present at the time, and who tare
willing to swear to the falsity of th e
Watchman's statement. All we ask,
is that the Watchman shall first pro
duce its swift witnesses, 'and we will
then prove the Watchman and its wit
nesses consummate .and contemptiVe
liars.
13i3rShould John H. Morrison be
chosen Register, with the record he
made as Treasurer of this county,what
',Democrats will consent to play - victim
in the way of bond eq . ) ?
Meek and his '`Echo" Liars.
It does not afford us pleasure to
prove our neighbors base and contemp
tible liars. We would rather write
them gentlemen, if the truth would
bear us out in it. Meek and Kurtz—
the convicted liar ; and the " little
dutch villain"—Par nobile 14.atrunt.
These reckless men have persistent
ly published in their columns, that J.
P. Coburn did sell out the charter of
the . l. C. & S. C. R. B. to the Penn—
sylvania railroad company, thus mak
ing, or attempting to make, political
capital against him, when they know
that the charge is without any founda
tion, basely and maliciously false. The
Watchman says
"We understand that Mr. Coburn
" is very sore over the the fact that he
"had any hand in selling out the
"charter of the Pennsvalley railroad
"to the Pennsylvania company. He
" is now engaged in trying to explain
"that transaction, but every apology
"only seems to make the matter
" worse. 'Wo should thitik he icould
"feel bad over it. He ought to feel
" bad. It was a nasty job, and nobody
"is better aware of this than Mr.
" Coburn himself. But James can't
"explain the matter away. The b )Id,.
"bare fact that he did sell out the
"charter to the Pennsylvania railroad
"company confronts him at every
"turn, and the,re ism) getting out of
"it. ile sold the charter for a
"price—was paid for betraying the
"interests of the people of Penns
" valley."
We repeat that Mr. Meek, when he
wrote the above charge, knew that be
was giving publicity to a willful and
deliberate falsehood, thus doing Mr.
Coburn gross injustice. But what does
Meek care either for his own reputa
tion or for the reputation of ethers?—
It is an old adage that "misery likes
company." Meek hasbeen convicted,
in our courts, of lying. Gen. Lyle,
Democratic sheriff, the Prison Super
intendent and others, all Democrats of
Philadelphia, have proven him a base
and a reckless liar, and we have shown
him up so often in his true colors that
he is loosing cast and feels mean, mis
erably mean. His only hope is libel•
ing and slandering his superiors, his
friends and neighbors. When it suits
his purpose lie slanders such men and
Democrats as Dr. Jas. H. Dobbins, J.
Lipton, P. W. Barnhart, and oth
ers, and now that they are not in
his way he vents his spleen on the men
comprising the Republican ticket, but
more especially upon Jas. P. Coburn,
Esq.
The truth is, that Mr. Coburn did
not vote to sell out the charter, as alleg
ed by Meek and his " Echo," (which ,
is too small for further notice here) .
but did vote against transferring
the charter to the Penusylvanial railroad
coin pa n y.
Whether it was right or wrong, the'
fact is fully estiiblished that, Mr. Co - -
burn opposed the measure and voted
steadily against the transfer, By - do :
so he did right, thereby acting in
cordance with the will of the great ma.
jority of the people of Pennsvalley at
that time.
Men and measures change, so surely
as do time,-, and seasons change. What
was popular three years ago might be-,
very unpopular. now; but the consci
entious vote, three years ago, of Jas.
P. Coburn, cast alone, but with the;
approval of every resident of Penns
valley, may be, with the change in the
popular mind, especially in this Rail,
road matter, unpopular now. With
thil,:however, we have nothing to do
.at the present. Our haziness is to
prove that when it was the interest of
the people of PennsvalleY to oppose
the transfer of their charter to the Pa.
R. R. Co., Mr. Coburn, like a noble
and true raprerentative of the rights of
those people, cast his vote holdly,hon: .
estly, and conscientiously against the
transfer.
Now for the proof. We copy from
the Lewisburg Chroac'ere, dated Dec.;
28th, 1866, in which the account of
the Railroad meeting in which the•
transfer was made, is fully given, the
following extract : •
"At the dine• and place appointed
" (Dec. 26th, 1866,) to test the will
" of those concerned, Messrs. Jas. S.
"Marsh, Solomon Ritter and John
"Locke were chosen Judges of the
"election, and Charles C. Shorkley,
" Secretary. The vote polled was as
` follows:
"For transferring the Charter, 21S shares
"Against..." “ ~ • 3 si
Majority for a transfer 315 shares
"The votes in the negative were
"cast by the Secretary, Mr. Coburn,
"of Aaronsburg, who doubtless ea—
" pressed the views of his neighbor
" hood. There were a few other op
" ponents of the plan in town, but
" they did not see fit to vote."
This is the record. How complete
ly it vindicates Mr. Coburn against
the foul aspersions of these reckless
liars.
IteLLe.wis Hess is accused, by the
atchman. and Reporter, with mak
ing money off his neighbors by selling
oil stock.
J. G. Moyer did sell stock to his
own advantage, and to-day is a rich
man
Lewis Hess makes his living by
working on a s..aw mill, so he did not
get rich ofl• his neighbors, certainly.—
He lost money, like his peighbors,and
many others, in the eiazy days.of'64.
somebody made:it of course.
A Democrat, 5. G. Laurimore, the
father of that distinguished young
Doctor, J. F. Laurimore, whose name
graces the tail of the Democratic tick

That's Him.
"Reason wont reach him, 'and op—
position only aggravates." Thus said
a distinguished scholar and Democrat
during a conversation in which the
author of the Mitchell calumny came
into momentary notice. "I have, in
my mind," he continued, "the draft
of an unpublished poem, which I can
not do better than repoat to you, so
completely does it typify the Editor
in-chief of our county organ. I have
explained away and toned down Mr.
Meek's absurd sayings—to use no
harsher adjective—until I am hearti
ly sick of him, his paper, and of the
business. The thing begins to react
on me, and I am going to quit it.
have a reputation to sustain, which I
am forced to acknowledge I cannot do,
and defend these idle, nonsensical and
imaginative scribblings of Mr. Meek.
I have remonstrated with him until
lam ashamed to broach the subject
again, and he has come to believe that
be carries the party, as well asmyself,
in his vest pocket. I know all this,
but have hitherto been powerless to
help myself. I will not say what I
may do as regards the democratic
ticket this fall. Ido think, however,
if the cortie of Bellefonte .politicians
who have arrogated to themselves the
right to dictate who shall and who
shall not be nominees, do not receive
a merited rebuke, by a detest of the
ticket they have forced upon us, our
party will, and should lose the coun
ty."
The following is the poem given us,
and its capital hits are so intensely
pertinent in their application to the
distinguished calumniator and sensa
tionalist, that we must print
'Tis o:.e of the devil's capers, my pet!
To have such as you editing papers,my net
There's tro much of your stripe
Pointing hellwarde in type,
And your bill. like a snipe,
Sucking rapors, my pet!
Yes, sucaing them fenny and foul, my boy
Tainting both body and soul, my boy!
Now crawling to foes:
Now to friends dealing blots,

Such vile carrion birds will not do

Another "Peculiarity."
Fred Kraut, of the Reporter, made
'a furious parade, a week or two sinee,
of what it was pleased to call Mr. Co
burn's penuriousness in church affairs.
Aside from the fact that Mr. Coburn,
as every church-goer in, i.aro4inirg
mill testify, annurdly gives twice the
amount for church and charitable
purposes that Mr. Moyer, alias Mey
er, contributes, it is proper to note,
as we have,. and shall continue to do,
the little transactions which, mare
than the big ones, eharacterizeS the
.true man. Not many years ago, as
the facts are related to us, thisl,beral
patriot who took $3OO out of the
school fund to buy a substitute; this
immortal philanthropist, who could.
turn a poor, shivering, half-starved
woman and child from his door one
bleak December night; this loving
brother who could beggar his brother
and defraud Jokey Neidigh; this per
fect christian, who eou!d devise means
for swindling his brethren while
bending midi them in devotion; this
model man; this Moyer, alias Meyer,
hired an assistant. His name was
Carter, and he lived at Mifilinbu•g.
He assisted this meal, bundle of all
that's heavenly—as above noted—to
assist in running a musical conven
tion. Carter did his duty, and asked
for his pay. It was like calling up
spirits from the misty deep. Not a
spirit come. Carter Was without
funds, and with linen sadly soiled.—
He borrowed money to get back to
Mifflinburg, and secured the loan of a
shirt of Billy Wolf wherewith to
clothe himselfdecently ! How's that,
Mr. Kraut? Will you, Billy Wolf,
or the lovely Moyer. deny it? We
know Mr. Carter wont H
Xe—Fred. Kurtz finds fault with us
for going into Pennsvalley on the Sab
bath day on a political mission. Now
Fred., supposing your allegations
true, what was there wrong or crimi
nal in our visit on the Sabbath? Do
not our christian ministers fight the
devil and his works on the Sabbath ?
Have we not as much right -to -fight
the world, theftesn.and the devil as
have the -ministers of the Gospel ? Is
not the devil the father of liars, and
being theoriginal secessionist, the only
legitimate leader of the rebel or sec•

Is not the Court House Ring the
servant of the devil, whose work it
does, whose mandates it obeys? Of
course it-is-right for us and every oth

fight them Sunday, Monday and -ev-'

NEW CHANGE IN AN OLD FIRM
The undersigned adopts this method of
informing, his numerous friends and custo
mers, that he has made arrangments to set.?
tie up the old books, and commence in the
new. For thirty years I h•tve done busi
ness in Bellefonte. I have for the whole of
that time Oxen one of the most extensive
grain dealers in the place. I have always
taken especial pains to accommodate my
customers. I hove always sold as good and
as cheap goods as any other mercantile
house in town, and it is my intention to
continue to do so, but have added the name
of my son W. S. WAGNER to the firm.
Hereafter, or from the 13th inst., the busi
ness will be conducted in'the firm name of
D. M. WAGNER .AND SON.
I will incicase the stock, will continue to
.buy grain, anthto accomodate customers in
every possible way. I invite all my old
customers to continue with us and hope that
the people of Centre.Clearfield and adjoining
counties will find it to their advantage to
deal with us.
IVe will in a few days receive from Ph il'a
and New York, the largest and best stock,
and we may add, cheapest stock of Goods
ever offered in Bellefonte. Our stock will
be large and it is our intention to add to it
from time to time. Every thing wanted
by heads of families, farmers or others, will
be found in our HOUSE. We are not only
enlarging our stock but we have enlarged the
STORE ROOM. Our store with the New
room, will extend back 110 feet—shelved on
both sides and constantly tilled with the
best of goods.
Wo most respectfully invite the people of
Centre and adjoining counties to favor us
•
with a call. and with their trade.
