TILE DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS.
We never witnessed a better state of
feeling among the Democracy of Clearfield
county than that which pervades them at
this time. 'On . Tnesday night of °tit-C69a
we had ono of the largest and most enthu
siastic outpOtirings of the madsesthat ever
took place in the county, and this ‘vithaut
the leAst 'effort to bring 'About .tittOt rt. dis
play.
The Hon. C. B. Cowrie, the Democrat
ic candidate for Congress, was the first
spanker, and addressed his follow citizens
fully and most satisfactorily on the- great
issues at stake in the present contest. Mr.
Curtis convinced his hearers that he prop
erly undet;stands the institutions
. of our
country, and that ho is thoroughly dcnno
cultic on every question.
Col. 13URNSIDM was called out immedi
ntely after Mr. 'Curtis took his seat, and
!performed one of the best efforts of his life.
He always seems to feel at home among
i the Democracy of Clearfield, and on this
occasion 'his speech was peculiarly elo
quent
. and appropriate. As to the State
election he briefly defined his position.—
!The Col. had been claimed by the enemies
of Judge Woodward. He was, ho said, a
ticket man, always lied been, and always
meant to he, and, on this occasion looking
to our glorious standard, he was for all the
stanch' . rd.bearers. Perhaps there was some
music about the old Court [louse then—
The Colonel's coat was °lrby This time, and
the'big'drops of sWeat con rsing each other
down his Cheek S, and
4 in this plight to hear
him exhort his fellow citizens to go for their
beloved Woodward was just about as much
as the• walls of that venerable old building
could bear.
Gov. Bleadin, being in town, and hav
ing been escorted to the meeting by a
committee appointed for the purpose, after
Col. Burnsides had concluded', .had. finally
to yield to the calls of his fellow citizens,
and without taking the Stand, briefly ac
knowledg.ed the compliment paid him, and
assured his fellow citizens ofElearlield
county ; that ho was still with them, and
ever meant' to be, net from favors received
or expected, buttfotn convictions of duty.
Ws remarks were in his usual happy strain,
and were.received with loud shouts of ap
probation.
. Afler' this, 13. It. retain, J. 13. Mtord;
and others briefly aildreised the meeting,
when, with three, cheers for the whole
ticket, the 'meting adjourned to meet on
Thursday evening,
On Thursday evening the meeting again
assembled, and was very ably addressed
by Col; Barrett followed by B. R. Petrikin.
Mr. P. made one of the soundest political
speeches we have listened to for a long
time,and which gave universal satisfaction.
His reply, to Mr. Male's aspersions of the
present Board of Canal Commissioners for
refusintLto surrender the public improve.
meats to the Pennsylvania RailroadCom
pauy► was most triumphant.
Whilst Mr. Petrikin was speaking it was
Understood that n Mr. Ferguson, a soldier
in the late war with Mexico, was present,
and after Mr. P. took his seat Mr. Fergu
son was called tbr, anti tool: the stand.—
Not a breath disturbed the still
moment. Mr. Curtin, the evening before.
pointing to a . Mexican soldier as one o!'
their Vice Presidents, made quite a flourish,
saving that this man could tell whether
Gen. Pierce performed his duty or not.—
Now when Mr. Ferguson took the stand i t
was only expected that he would tell a,plain
unvarnished story of the campaign in
Mexico, and perhaps tell the crowd that
there was at leastone Democrat in that war.
Mr. F. commenced by saying that he was
I
' a plain unassuming roan, and having stain
. the last few months at hard labor, and was
!at present making turnpike, he felt in poor
order for making speeches. He, however,
commenced,and if ever we witnessed an as
tonished and surprised audience it wasthen.
The Chaste and eloquent language, the
beautifully rounded periods, and the plain
unassuming manner of the man, at almost
every breath, brought ,:,forth' silents and
screams of applause such as we never
heard before. Truly did the speaker show
that there were other, soldiers in Mexico
than wings, and that other officers than
Gen. Scott were entitled to some praise.
But ho was highly respectful in all he said,
and 'gave .Gen. Scott ample praise as a so!,
dier, but it was wrong—it was robbing the
living as well as , the • bright fame of the
honored dead, to claim' ail the honor oft
that campaign for Gen, Scott. Mr. F.
•
spoke ,fnr,:about one hour in this strain,
and ,his speech was the severest dose ever
poured into the whig ranks in this county.
Asa speaker M.P. was acknowledged by
every 'be,dY to 'have few egaals,. and he
certainly made the best political,, speech
madc.horo :dttring.our court. 'On Satur
day night Ferguson addressed the
Pierce and King club of . .iliiSiilace,•en . d
.
Yv,aokstened to by a crowdiA house for
upwards, pf an.hpur. His , spceek on . this
occasion was nodose interesting, instructive
and effective' thari That 'Oa Thursday. eve&
ing. But his reputation having been so
• well established his hearers wore not taken
'by surprise as they were on the first occa
sion,: On this evening he took up Pohis
tory:of parties in this country, coal,' merle. :
ing•with,the fOrmation 'of the. government,
anddemeristrated the identity, of the ,whig
party of the present day with the Fedel:al
ista of '9B and '99 with a force and clear
ness seldom heard, and which wo think
must have removed all doubts from the
minds of those
,who heard him. . We on
ly wish thnt every voter in the Common=
wealth might have an opportunity to hear
this plain, unassuming, modest Turnpilcer,
before ho deposits his vote in October and
November.
The whigs of ourbounty made n most dos
pi:irate effort the last week to stem the cur
rent of pOpular feeling that has been and
is, still, setting in against them. They
were here in creditable numbers, yet at
the time of their meeting on Wednesday
night, it is but the truth to say, that at
least two-thirds of the men who filled the
court house were whole-souled democrats,
and Pierce and King men inside and out.
We shall not attempt to follow the
speakers in their remark's. Mr. ,E. Mc •
Garvey was the first on the stand, and
was followed by Mr. P. Kerr, the Whig
candidate for Congress. As we heard but
few of the remarks of these two gentle
men, wo cannot speak of them from per
sonal knowledge. We were informed,
however, that Mr. K. confined himself ex
clusively to the advocacy of a protective
tariff, which was natural enough, he being
himself an icon-master in Clarion county.
Judge Hale, of Bellefonte, was next call
ed, & made rather a sensible speech, some
what tarillish, but more "fuss-and-feather
ish ;" but what was 'remarkable in this, as
a whig speech, while the speakjr lauded
Gen. Scott to thei skies, as the greatest of
live Whigs, he did not descend to attack or
ridicule the character of his opponent,
Gen. Pierce. Mr. Halo was disposed to be
far, much fairer than his colleague, Mr.
Ciirtin, in this respect, and we therefore
think he served his party a much better
purpose. For no man can make a good
(and to be good it must be effective) politi
cal speech by ridiculing and abusing the
personal character of an opponent. But
there were some of Mr. Male's remarks in
bad taste. His coarse, ill-tempered and
contemptuous slurs at the people of the
South as "Slave-Drivers," "task-masters,"
"nabobs and aristocrats," &c.. &c., were
peculiarly unbecoming a party professing'
to be supporting the Union Plank in the
Baltimore
,whig platform in good faith.—
Democrats never act thus.
But, as usual, Mr. Curtin made the
speech of tho evening. As every body
who knows him would expect, it was elo
quent, witty and well delivered. Still we
pronounce it a perfect failure in Mr. Curtin.
Last fall, in the height of our Gubernato
rial election, Mr. Curtin addressed the
wings of this county, and we freely con
fess that he then succcded admirably in in
spiring them with energy and action, and
to counteract the effect of that speech gave
ess of the
the democracy of this county no little trou
ble, for the n higl fought harder than ever
they did before. But he pursued quite a
•
i dalerent course then to what he did on this
occasion. 'film his every allusion to his
opponent, Gov": Bigler, was in the highest
terms of compliment and approbation in
all his personal relations. But now he
knows nod seems to believe no good in
Gen. Pierce, and could only allude to him
in ..he coarsest terms of detraction and rid
ieule. the one case he acted the part
T o bigh.niinded honorable opponent; and in 1
!the other that of the intriguing politician,!
Iseeking to blind-fold and mislead the peo
ple.
It was truly laughable to see the desper.
ate efforts made by these leaders to con
vince the people that there i 4 no principle
at stake in the present contest. Now, so
far as the platforms of the . two parties are
concerned the difference is rather imma- 1
terial; but it is not in the, power of mortal
man to convince the people that the whit' o s
aro serious in their conversion to the fern
°erotic faith. They aro known asdeceiV-'
Ors, ,and the people will not, trust them.-1-
But again—suppose they aro sincere, aro
not the pemocratic party better entitled to
the honor of administering the government
on theieprinciPles, than the whigsl. For
it is to tho
. Democratic party that the
country is. exclusively indebted for these
measures, notwithstanding thoconstant op
position of the entire .whig Party. But
there is no use in. spending ink and paper
In, noticing these things. There never was
a contest. in which the people understood
the true issues!better ; and all the sophistry

' •
The State Election takes place
THE WIWI MEETING.
Mr. Curtin devoted a large portion of his
remarks to Judge Woodward, which was a
Ivory useless spending of the breath on his
part. The people, have known ~ J ude
Woodward allover; and they know
he an ho'hoialite 4n - 4 it; 'and when he pasgbi
• I
his word ntid:honOri being acquainted with'
all the circumstnn'cos ditto case,itis ' quite
vain in Mr. C. to attempt to clestroy - his
character and reputation in this respect
with the citizens of Clearfield county. If
Jpdgo Woodward held the sentiments
.at
ttibuted to hini hi the reform Convention,
we are quite sure ho could not receive two
hundred democratic votes in our county,
notwithstanding their high estimation of ,
the man;,i',but he pronounces that reporter
his' remarks to be false, and so denounced
these sentiments at the time, and the *-
pie 'knowing the charaCter ofJudge Wood;
ward, have ,full faith in his honor and sin
cerity.
The Whigs again assembled on Friday
evening, and were again riddressed'by Mr.
Curtin. His speech on this occasion was
still more labored than on the first, and as
signally failed in its object.
TILE fIRST ELECTION.
We have heard of Democrats who, too
careless of the importance of a single vote,
talk of staying at home at the October
election, intending to join in the big fight,'
and striking the hard blow at the Presi
dential elettion. This is all ' wrong. If
we had control of the matter 'we would
prefer your vote at the first election as or ,
more importance than on the second. Let
us fire our Dig Gun in October, and show
by our majority that Scott has no chance
in this State, and it will do more to secure
the election of Pierce and King, than any
thing else. It will inspire hope and con&
dence to our party in every State and strike
terror, dismay and despair into the ranks,
of the Whigs. To THE PoLLs then, every
Democrat, in October, end roll up the tall.
est majority ever polled in th 3 State, and
our victory is certain.
Hon. C. B. Cun•rts.—This gentleman,
the Democratic candidate fur Congress,
spent all of laf.t week with us, and formed
the acquaintance of many of our citizens.
On Friday night he was suddenly taken
sick, which detained b;rn, confining him to
his room, until Tuesday morning, when he
left, still in n weak state of health, for
Ridgway.
Officers who support Gen. Pierre.
All the %Vhig reflections on General
Pierce's valor, his talents, his popularity
in the army, and indeed every charge
against him should be efil.ctually silenced
by the fact that nearly all the officers of
the U. S. Army in the Mexican war are
his ardent supporters. The fact that not
one officer of the army in any of our wars
has openly advocated General Scutt, i§,
equally significant of the relative positions
of the two generals, with that branch of
the public service. 'I he following is a list

OREAT DEMOCRATIC MASS ➢IEETINO.
A very largo and enthusiastic meeting'
of the Democracy of Clearfield county,
was held on Tuesday evening the 21st
inst., but as the Secretaries have failed to
iVC us a report of it, we'cttnnot Oiethe

lap as Vico Presidents, and a number of
Secretaries. A. committee or seven were
iiiipointcd, who, .through their chairman,
D. W. Moore, reported the following rest)•
lotions, which were unanimously adopted.
In the absence of the committee the meet
ing was eloquently addressed by Hon. C.
B. ,Curtis, Col. Burnside, and afterwards
by B. It. Petrikin, Esq.,9.nd others.
Wituar.As, Ina great Republio like that
of the United States, there is no more im
portant duty required of its citizens than
that of frequently meeting together for the
purpose of discussing and; interchanging
their opinions concerning great questions
atfecing the general welfare.
And WHEREAS, There is no more im
portant political event, or one that more
vitally affects the destiny dour great, glo
rious and 'yet perfect and happy Union,
than that of the choosing of a Chief Mag
istrate. Therefore •
Resolvi.d, That •as the history of the
world fails to furnish an example of any
other country rising to greatness and pow
er with such rapidity, as ours has, it is
wise and proper that wp shoUld cautiously
examine into the causes to which we as a
people are mainly indebted for this highly
favored condition.
Resolved, That in theopinion of the De
mocracy of Clearfield county, our common
country is indebted, for this unexampled
state of prosperity, to the sound national;
measures of the Democratic party, and
that to secure a continuance of this favor
ed condition, under the approving smiles'
of Divine Providence, it is only necessary'
that the National Government shall con
tinue to be administered' upon the princi- •
pies advocated by that party.
Resolved, Therefore, That we approve
heartily and cordially, of the •plaeform of
principles laid down by the late Democrat
ic Convention at Baltimore, believing them
to be strictly in accordance with the groat
principles that hive secured to us our ma
ny valued blessings, and without which we ;
cannot expect to prosper and progress as a
nation.
Resolved, That in order to secure the
practical application of thu wholesome
principles there lard down, 1s is only neces
sary to elect the nominees of that Conven
tion, those true patriots, sound statesmen,
and distinguished citizens, Gen. FRANKLIN
PIERCE of New 1-I,lmpshire, and IVar. R.
KING of Alabama.
Resokcd, That in Gen. Franklin Pierce
we find the most distinguished merits and
qualifications of n Republican statesman,
in 1843 we find him resigning his seat in
the United States Senate, and seeking the
quiet of private life—in 1845 declining to
forsake that retirement to take a seat in the
cabinet of President Polk—in 1847, when
our country, in her hour of need, called
for defenders of her honor and flag, we
find him with his musket on his shoulder,
in the ranks of the brave volunteers, and
through all that war he was ever found
where honor and duty required him to be,
and won the proud title of the "gallant
Pierce," from the Commanding Officer—
and after his work was done, and when the
American Eagle was floating proudly from
the capitol of Mexico, we find him surren•
dering his honored commission and again
resuming the ways and walks of a private
citizen, only to be interrupted by the unan
imous call of the great republican party of
the Union to be their standard hearer in
the present political campaign.
Resolved, That we will cordially and
earnestly support the nominations made
by the late State Convention—in Judge
NiicionwAnn, we recognize a man in whom
our State may well feel proud; as n Jurist
and statesman he has few equals, and us a
citizen and a man, he is an ornament to any
community.
Resolved, That we will support Judge
Woodward because, a (ter abundant oppor
portunity to test his sterling virtues, and
distinguished qualifications, we know him
t , ) be honest, and faithful to every trust,
and because , we believe that in him our ju
diciary will soon behold its brightest star.
Resolved, That in Col. Wm. HomoNs,
our candidate for Canal Commissioner, we
have a man who has been well tried in
many responsible stations, and never found
wanting—a man of distinguished attain
ments, strict moral character and exten
sive business knowledge, such as pre-eeni
neatly qualifies him for the office for which
he is named.
Resolved, That the administration of
Gov. BIGLER, thus fur, has fully redeemed
all the' pledges made for it,. and need only
continue in, the way of well doing thus be•
gun .to speedily place our beloved Corn•
monweulth first among the proud States
of our glorious Union, and entitle our be.
lobed Chief Magistrate to the endearing
appellation of•"well done good and faith•
ful servant:'
Resolved ? That in CAtterorr B. Cowrie,
of Warreti county, our candidate for Con
'grois, we recogaiie a sound and reliable
democrat, and a faithful represantative,amd
•
pledge him a cordial support.

of Bror.mn do not want 'words of. eneour
agement from any One Witte them on to,
the performance of theiri'dtity in October
and November; neXt:' , They have alwaYs
done it, and will not now when tho
Democratic party ealla"ulion every son to
work and to be Vigififiit.. Our candidates
are worthy of out; cause.' They have all
received their full shaio of alit* ; but this
has only endeared them Moreland thorn
to their' friends. .As soon a.sOne'etiramriy
is exploded,: a fl'esbone is starteklindlhus
the game will be 'cinitineed•to thisiend. •;;..
One t ,dn'y Gen.. Pt Back is: ill i bead, hal
cause the ConstitutiOn of 'New/Harnpabire ,
contains a proscriptive Chinse.: .:The'ree
ords are searched, and it is discoitcred'ihat
he has for years, in Constitaticrialeonven
tions and in assemblages •of the: pe4le,
been battling let a cliange , ;--fiut atilhltho
clamoi does not Ctiase l • 'His "life, !Which
has been one of the .greatest political and
loom( purity, never seeking office Or hon..
ors, but always declining thern;uought to
' have shielded him , from all attacks.: The
spectacle' of a man declining The highest
honors of the republic, and-enlisting as a
private soldier, when he thought coun,
try required his services in.tlie battlefield—
leavinu- wife and hothe and liimily, to
whonthe was most fondly endeared—is
yet fresh in thr; memory' of the American
people; . and no calumny or detraction can
cause them to lose sight of it, but they will
say in November next, that the than who
could thus act and make•such sacrifices, is
worthy' of every honor which could be
conferred'on
Our own candidates, too, are receiving
' their full share. of this calumny. The °
good and pure WoonwAttn—a man fitted
for any station—whom you all know and
esteem, from the day he was appointed'to
his present station, hits' been obliged to
sutler. The party that' joins every' year
with the Nativists—that joined with them
in 1844, when they were fresh from the
burning of churches-las had the bold,
ness 'to attempt to raise the cry of Nativ
ism against him ; against a man who re
jecteda seat in the United States Senate
With disdain, when it was to be had by
subscribing to any one of their doctrines.
I know that I need not ask you all to'
do your duty. PlEitet; and.Kmo.will be
elected—but take care that.not a vote be
lost to the Federal or 'State tickei.' Last
year we saved the country 'and the Union
by electing your own distinguished 131a
uni. Let us this year complete the work
su auspiciously begun:
Ever yours, most truly,
JAMES CAMPBELL.

and King Club.
NO WHIG ENTIIUSIASN.--IVIR 1
1 if General Scott's name cannot raise
Idle enthusiasm of his friends, what is the
matter? Up ,to this hour - his supporters
have hardly been galvanized into an nit
pulse ; and al: authorities indicate that it is
worse in the North than it is in the South;
The Louisville Journal complains of Ken
tucky. But the New York Herald points
to the Dead Sea of whig indifference that
lies spread like a pall all over the North.
Pennsylvania' sends out ' few echoes to
the rallying cry fur, the, Scott leaders ;
while in Ohio the only bustle is excited by
the democracy, whose. ineetings 'laic all
immense and auspicious. What is the
cause 7 It lit*" plain enough. The whigs
of the South are' paralyzed by, the aboli
tion mathinery that has been set to Work
to carry Scott. The 'whigs of New, York
cannot unite upon a Candidate whose nom
ination was forced by Seward and areely
and other foes of Mr. Vilimore. The, whige
of Ohio cannot be'expeCted
,to fight . Witll
any heart when Hale and Juliiin haveta
ken from them the abolitionists of the. Ad
serve. In Pennsylvania tliij 'Whigs :have
no hobby of "ruin" to ride, En - i lk! Io . ol: with
