those conservative and Human? ideas whioh
distinguished tht party which now sleeps in
the graves of Clay and Webster. He is by
training, and by uiaiure convietion, a believer
in systematic and tffijieut Protection, in liberal
internal improvements, iu tbp policy of encour
agiog well-paid and wide-diffmed Free Ameri
can Labor. Such a Whig could not fail to he
a leader and counselor of the party, and, ac
cordingly, Mr. Curtin "-as an influential uieui
ber of nearly every Whig State Convention
which mot during the last ten ycirs of the Whig
party's existent.
ISo nun was ever more popular at horn-. Ha
is endowed with much of that iv.ro magnetism
which neutralizes social and political differences,
and makes the man stronger than his party.—
As an illustration of this, in the year 1849,
OeDtre county composed part of the secatoriil
district in which lien. Wui. F. Packer, now
Governor, was the Democratic candidate for
the State Senate. The Whig candidate with
drew from the canvass on the Friday before the
election. At the earnest and general solicita
tion cf the party, Col. Uurtiu took the field.—
There remained only three days to canvass o
vsiy !ar c o district. Yot, while Centra oouDty
gave a mj irity of eleven hundred for the rest
of tho Democratic ticket, she gave Gen Pack
er a majority of only three hundred. Three
days sufficed Curtin, ag-.inst as strong a candi
date as Packer, to scatter two-thirds of tho
Democratic majority.
ID the year 1854, Col. Cut tin wis strongly
urged by the counties of central Pennsylvania
for the Governorship; vad when Hon. James
Pollock, of Norttiumhlerland, received the
nomination, Curtin was initio obairaian of the
Btaie central committee. Upon the election of
Governor Pollock, he cppain'ed Colonel Curtin
Secretary of the commonwealth. ale discharged
the varied duties of that office with singular
ability ODU discretion. Governor Pollock's
Administration was singularly pure, moderate,
and conservative. It was not distinguished by
any startling measures, or any exciting inova
tiens. Th• agitations and fluctuations cau ; ei
by the breaking up of the Whig p-rry, tho pro
slavery Democratic outrages in Kansas, the
rise oi tie Ameiicau party and the Republi
can organizations, und the tremendous political
contest of 135G, withdrew the general attention !
from mere Stale affairs to those of na'ional
•oncem. But, in 'he midst of all, tho Pollock
Administration hold i r s cvea way, maintaining
the interests and the bouor of Pennsylvania,
condemning the barbarities which oppressed
the people of Kansas, and fattLLss *rvi!ities
of the Ptcrue and Buchanan Administrations
—uttering its voice for Protection to the in
dustries of Pennsylvania, aid exhibiting, on
every occasion, that- dignified moderation which
is so pcculiir to 'he Pennsylvania character. —
That Administration steadily won (ho confi
dence of the people <i it proceeded, und re,
tired from power attended by the respect of
every ciiizm of Commonwealth, ami above
even the suspicion of corruption or partiality, i
Ex-Secretary Curtin, as the intimate friend and j
constitutional adviser of the Governor, is fairly
ec'itied '0 a *uil share of the credit which at- j
Ueii3s to the honest, wise, and benign Admin
istration of J nuts Pollock.
Daring that strenuous contest for tus United
States Scnatorship, which distinguished tbe
legislative sisvoa of 1855, 001. Ourtin vms

body of friends tor that high posiiiou.
ilis dtpur'iuent ef tbe Administration con
nected hnu cl.ssly with our common school
system as i*s Superintendent. He r~r, } la
borious attention to it, and took particular
pleasure in perfecting its details and increasing
its tffiei-'uey. The Common wealth is greatly
iudebtsd to bito fur l>e legislation conc<ruiog
Normal Schools, which affords the uicth.ds sad
tbe means of systematically training a body of
intelligent end highly competent teachers, and
thus supplying the most pro-sing need of our
Free Schools. Under tbe working of that law,
one State Normal Sobon' in efficient opera
tion, snd others ur? springing up in various
pan- of the Commonwealth.
Seen tary Curllo was aa criminal and aciivo
advocate of tint gieat n:n.suro of tL3 Pollock
Aduiioistraicii—the sab* of the Main L ce of
tuc Public Improvements. This measure was
vigorously opposed before irs consumation, bui
it is now agreed on all bands itiat it was timely
and wise, and that tLe Commonwealth was
thereby relieved of an incubus which annually
depleted irs tressury and corrupted its politics.
Since bis retirement fiom ttie Secretaryship
of the Common wealth, Col. Curtin hat devoted
himself -gain lo tin practice of law, and the
material and industrial interests of Lis region
of the Commonwealth. lie La; been very ac
tive IU promoting those lines of railroad which
are to bring Centre, Clinton, Clearfield and the
adjoining counties into connection wi'h the
]\-mi-ylvaaia Central, and the Su .Lury and
Eiie ra'lroads. Mo is a gentietuan of unurual
public spirt*, sad bis whole soul it bouul up
in lbs development of the immense rnuical aEd
agricultural lescurccs of hisnnivo State. By
birth, eJuuatiou, aud lifelong habit and as
sociation, he is a Protest! mist, and a tru .'l
- believer in Free Labor, and in that
policy which purposely encourages, diversifies,
and perfects all the arts, industries, and rc
fitiemouts of a free and civilized community.
Since that auspicious nuiuu of the Opposi
tiou iu Pennsylvania, which his resulted in the
formatiou au<l the continued ascendency "f
ihc Republican party,-Col. Curtin has been,
for at least two years, regarded from many
quarters -f the State, as a particularly
worthy and suitable candid ate for Governor.—
For that high poshiou be is peculiarly well
qualified, :1a unites an even temper am! a
solid judgment to great kuowledge, nt only
of b"oks, but of man and affairs. No man in
rbo Commonwealth is u> >re familiar wi h its
history, cr with its various local interests,
witli its diversified capacities and requirements
with Us legislation, its policy, ami its public
©pinion: no one has such an extensive ac
quaintance ali over the State. In all his pri
vate relations, and iu tbe discharge of bis of
ficial duties ho baa achieved a high character
for piobity and honor. In h5 d nod heart, in
temperament and action, he is an ingrained
Penusyl vauiin. Within our broad limits there
l none who cm and will tinke a b'tter Gov
ernor.
Oui. Ourli'! is not only above ail reproach,
but is t' jiuveJ by bit iuamediatj ueigbbors and
Lis persou-i acquaintances. A man of digni>
fifd presence, of gracious and geutie derneau
or, kind oeartcd, g.uicl au-J sunny tempered,
remarkably instructive and fuseiua'ing in con
versation, Lc is, beyond ali question, the most
popular loan of bis age in Pennsylvania, in
4(18 uttire'county, and all ibrougb tbe valleys
of central Pennsylvania, every man, woman
and child cherishes a Jeeiiug of ptraonal at
tachment for "Andy Curtin." He is notori
ous at home for bis open handed liberality, and
fot his continual charities. Although he
not rich, and left office without a cent uiore
than when he entered it, no man in Centre
county bss given away as much money to re
lieve the wants of tho poor, and aid tho strug
gles of tho enibarassed. It was remarked in
the late convention, which uouiiuatcd him to
promptly and by such a decided vote, that no
mau in the State Lad such a body of devoted
enthusiastic friends. There never was a nom
ination more joyfully hailed, it gives equal
satisfaction among (ho farmers and iron men
of Centre, and the merchants and manufactu
rers of Philadelphia. The commercial me
tropolis of the State auswera it with a wondct
fuliy general applause. The solid business
men of the city and State arc delighted with
it. From bake Erie to tho Delaware, this
nominntion is regaided as the beginning of a
brilliant campaign, and the harbinger of de
cisive S;ate and Nationel victory. The Re
publicnn party could not have piacea at the
head of their army a more gallant, admirable,
and formidable champion. He will ui3ke ail
Pconsy ivi-nia ring with his trenchant, spark
ling and sonorous eloquence. He will bo sur
rounded by the best men of the Republican
parly tho Cr.ver and ptouiiso of it? future—
young, intellectual, well informed, publia spir
ited i>nd enthusiastic; who, fisruing by his
side, will iusuro a powerful and stirring discus-
Gun of our glorious ideas of Freedom, Prog
ress, and the liighu cf Labor. Andrew G.
Curtin is himself a young maD, in the vry
prime of life, and when he beoomes Governor
of Pennsylvania, his Administration will ex
hibit all the virtues of a youthful maturity,
solid enterprise, generous liberality, enligbteu

policy.

DIVISION OF OUR COUNTY.
Wo understand that there is a secret move
ment going on to secare tbe passage of a bill
through the Legislature, to again dismember
Bedford County, by annexing Middle Wood
berry Township to Blair County. IT IS gotten
up at this late day, so that our people would
not he prepared tor it, would not have time to
remonstrate, and that it might be tnoked
through. One of the Senators, wc understand,
is very busy, quietly to get Senators and mem
bers to pledge themselves for it. We have
cot heard of u single petition in its favor treat
Middle Woodberry Township, many people
there being opposed to it, and if we bed time,
we have r.o doubt that alt the voters in Bed
ford County, outside that Township, would
sign a remonstrance against the division. It
would be unjust to pass the bill, as it is unfair
to attempt it at the tuu of tbe session, when
ita opponents have uot time to remonstrate
giiuM it.
Bedford County has beeu cut up, and her
best territory ueariy all taken from hor.—
Middle Woodberry comprises some of the best
hnd, aud is one cf tbo richest Townships in
the County. Take it away, and we have
scarcely any territory ieft, but mountains. —
We hope the Legislature will not deal so un
justly with us.

As thb Buchanan papers are gltm to much
boasting about tt.e prestige of Gen. Foster, and
bis lucky nomination, we extract a few rather
pointed comments upoo the man urid bis luck,
from the Pittsburgh Journal.
"At Last five teDth rate politicians have
beaten him out of hi# boots in Detn icn>ic
caucuses. As we got our "broton up" ; n u Jd
Westmoreland we knew something of the po
tency uf i)enioci*ey iu t .at region. F -ter
in 1858 was tho JDemocratia candidate for
Congress in opposition to John Covode, in
WestmoreUod, Indiana and Armstrong, nud
wa3 beaten nearly 1100 votes, if our memory
is correct. We therefore do not think Lim on
the score of prestige, a dangerous man. He
has not been so in bis own r_nks, nor when
pitted against our man. We say tide meet
the extra flourishes of fh# Democracy. He is
one of our highly esteemed friends, and we do
not expect to nay an unkind word of biro in
the campaign. We expect to assist iu defeat
ing bio. ' n account of the abominable bid
company be keep# and tho still worse platform
on which he is mounted. Instead of being h
lucky, we ere sorry to say, the G cat fail Las
uniformly been an unlucky politician, espeouiiy
too among bis owu r.oliticai friends."
The Democratic party never entered upon a
campaign with more cheering prospect# than
those attending tho commencement of this cam
paign.— Harrisburg Patriot and Union
There is generally a good deal of cheering
in Democratic gatherings, cad the prospect of
spoils, however feeble, brings glidocss to the
hungry souls of the devoted patriots. There
can be no doubt that there will be muuv cheer
ing incidents iu the coming campaign, but
when the scene cl; o Democracy will fiud itself
behind the Curt in. Deify News.
COL. CLRTIN AT I-lOAIS.—The Central Press,
published at Bellofonto, Cue homo of ('*>!. Cur
tin, in its last issue, says :
Col. Curtio's return, on Tuesday evening,
was the signal cf one of the most brilliant
popular outbursts we have ever witnessed It
was a response to the action at liarrisburg,
wbich plainly indicates that the voters cf his
ewe immediate vicinity intend giving jt an over
whelm.ug ratification. "Straws show which
way the wind blows," and so does this demon
stration point unerringly to the direction in
which the tide of public opiuion is setting.—
Scarcely had night thrown her sable cur.in
o"V:r the landscape, when the Borough of
Bellefocto was iiluminated with bc..sres, and
tbe welkin rung with the joyous shouts ot con
gregated hundred*. A warmer welcome was
never ex.ended to auy man, and never wss tie
action of a Convention more heartily endorsed.
About 7 o'clock in the evening, the crowd
assumed he shape, of a procession and beaded
by the Brass Band, made its way to the
Colonel's residence. His presenoe was deman
ded by the uoauimous shouts of the crowd,
and upon appearing, the congratulations of his
friends were presented in a few glowing sen
tences by li. G. Durham; After° three
rousiug cheers, tbe nominee mounted the stump,
and discoursed to the crowd in his hippies"
vein. As usual, he hold all Bia old fneuds,
sod midti some uew ones. Cheer after choer
responded to the patriotic sentiments which ho
uttered, and earnest enthusiasm sat upon the
countenance of every one present.
WHAT HIS OPPONENTS SAT or lIIM.— We
clip tbe followiog complimentary uotioo of Col.
Curtin from the Clinton Democrat, % o admin
istration papei, published by th* the present
Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth :
"Col. Curtin, the nominee for Governor, i 3
well and favorably known to our people, lie
belongs to this Judicial, Congressional and
Senatorial district, and during ail bia pro
fessional life has been one of the most promi
nent lawyers in this section of tho State. An
a politician he is bold vigorous, and uncompro
mising. For twenty live years ho has been one
of the sturdiest pillars of the Opposition in
this quarter, under whatever came they sailed.
In this quarter we have met him before as a
candidate and a leader, and we tail the De
mocracy everywhere to buoklo on their armor,
for they will hivo to uioet a foeman worthy of
their steel."
For the Inquirer.
MR. ISJDITOB:— It is seldom 'that local news
is of interest enough in this vicinity, to make
it worthy of tote o the columns of your pa
per, but within the last few days the coiumuni
has been thrown into intense excitement,
which is not yet appeased, and as no doubt ex
aggerating stories will be circulated throughout
the county, I will give you the particulars as
correctly as I Can.
On election day the hands ef the Bloom
field Iron works, numbering probably twenty
five, under the lead of Wm. Gates, came to
town, aod, as i. usual on sucL occasions, got
druuk, and about 3 o'clock they began to
fight with everybody that bappeued to be iu
tac:r reach, IVuctabie and unassuming citi
zens were kuock-d dowu with impunity and
running ia every direction, with .cither bloody
uoses, or gashes cut in their hands, or other
wise bruised. The fight ceased for a short
time, and Woodbury wa3 expected to reft in
quiet, hut the drunken rowdies soon broke out
anew, more furious tli..n before, tho most pro
fane and blasphemous phrases roiiiog from
ibeir lips, too abominable to describe by worglj..
The peaceable citizens, deemed it prudent to
raise their bauds agiiuot tho ruffians, and drive
the lawless rioters out of town, v.nicb they
succeeded in doing, after a savc.c contest of
about twenty minutes, but not without resort
ing to sltncs, clubr, &•}, The most conspicu
ous in uc-aiing out heavy blows, gratis, to tbs
hyena tribe, were David Bulger and David
Faulkcnder, the former, who, uot thinking of
any emergency, had uot time to lay aside his
apparel, but was divested of it bt fore be got
through with quelling the riot. The citizens
of Woodbury made rip a donation of eighteen
Jolinrs, to buy Mr. Bulger a new sir* of
clothes, wnich he richly deserves, wi'h the
praiss of everybody, for bis vigilance. Mr.
Alexander Wyant, wbo was so brutally abused
by the leader of the gang, is not expeoted to
recover, as Lis ucsa is mm hod, bis jaws badly

The 'Democratic' Stste Uouveutmn at Read
ing, pasted a resolution, as.ertiDg that
"Tlie convictions of the Democratic party of
Pennsylvania rems'n unshaken in the wisdom
and jiailce of adequate protection of iron, coal,

You would suppose that these fellows w-sra

tion,'wouldu't you? Well, let 8# scs. Tue first
resolution cf the scries reads as follow*:
"Resolved, That, as reproe?iUti*es of the

affirm our adherence iu the fundamental prin
ciples of the party, as proclaimed aod d'-.-iared
by the National Democratic Conventi not 1852
at Baltimore,aod th: of 1856, at Cincinnati.''
What a beautiful contradiction is here exhib
ited. The Cincinnati platform which they say
we "re iterate and re-affi m," advocates—and
we use tho very words— 'PROGRESSIVE
FREE TRADE !"
Here is an evident attempt to cheat the peo
ple, on the plan of the Kane letter of 1844.

'Westmoreland) Herald, published in Mr. Fos

by whi-h tlie Locofocoa have commenced the
campaign, aDd their bo3st that Foster would
carry Westmoreland by an old-fashioned Dem
ocrati ■ maj-oi'v, says :
"It won't do, v.-t'J we say 10 evetybody who
wants to bo placed on the record right, not to
be "skeered." As iu 1856 with James Bu
chanan, Mr. Poster is now nothing but a Plat,
form of hoards and timber. There are great
principles a* stake ; those who have back bone
wiil stand up to them. The game of brag
ought not, cannot srsJ will not efl ret anything.
Mr. Foster will uot run 100 votes ahead of hb

is." Two years ago he lead bis ticket oniy
27G votes, 95 of which wore in this county
alone, and which r very body knows was produ
ced by dissatisfaction and person*! heart
burnings iu our own party. There is noue of
this now. \\ care a unit, and enthusiastic in
support of our Slate platform and its nominee
Andrew G. Curtin, who upon the stump will
prove to be abundantly able to defend tur
principles, and more than a match for Mr. Fos

Great questions of public policy and of vi
tal iuteres? are agitating ths country to its
very centre. Those questions must bo settled
upon sound, national, constitutional grounds.—
They mu*t be settled not for the ben-fit of the
North—uot for the benefit of the South—uot
tor the exclustvo benefit of toy section, bet for
the best interest and tbe common good of the
whole country.— Htnry D. Foster.
Just so. But the longer the Locofoeo party
retains power, the farther we shall bs from a
settlement of these agitating questions. Their
leaders cannot settle them iu their own party,
and how are they to restore peace to the coun
try? Oue wing of Democracy says, "squatter
sovcreig-'ty" is the remedy ; and another says
"a slave code for the Territories" is the only
means by which barmouy can be restored.—
Tue Looofoco party found the country at peace
when they oatnc into power in 1853. They
promised to preset ve laa' paace ; but they at
once went to work to stir up strife, and agita
tion has been growing more fierce ever since.
After the country bas suffered for so uiany

Immenso meetings have been held, and are
still being held throughout the State, to rati

The name of Andy Curtin is a tower of strength
—and what is better, his nomination was not
brought about by any trick or coup d'etet
spruug upou the convention, ns was the case
iu the nomination of Foster. There was a fair
show to all the candidates iu the one case, and
