Secessionist! Disunionist 1 ! Traitor'.!!
Theso choice epithets are daily applied,
by venomous and indiscreet Republicans
in our midst, to all or our citizen who
have the misfortune (or the honor?) to
hold different political views from the
present Administration. The purer the
private character, the more elevated the
standing of the Democrat, the more rank
ling and envenomed is the attack. It is
but a few weeks since that, in a neighbor
ing village, posts were erected, and ropes
attmhed thereto, by Republicans, for the
avowed purpose of "hanging Democrats."
Nut only is this tho course pursued by
private individuals, but the Press the
organ of tho Republican party of tho couu
tyfiids and abeta tho cry. Deepito our
repeated domand for the names of these
alleged Traitors, they will not dare to
nam them publicly, but '-stab in the
dark, with a shrug, f ith a nod." and hope
to ruin privato character, yet tare them
selves. Ifthcroaro traitors in our midst, LET
THEM BS FORTHWITH ARRESTED.
Y'o havo Courts and Juries Law and
Justice yet remaining, and wo pledge
our 6oleinn belief that at liast the Dem
ocracy or Clearfield county are law-abiding
men, and justice will bo done. e know
tho sterling men or our party in this coun
ty, and they are now as ever FOR tho
Government made by Washington, Frank
lin, Jefferson and Madison. They aro
FOR the Constitution, and denounce aix
attacks upon it, como from whatever
source they may. " They are AGAINST
tho heresy ol secession. They aro FOR
THE WHOLE UNION. Tho fortunes
and the lives of many of them are being
now willingly yielded to sustain the Gov
ernment against armed attack.
We have repeatedly invited tho Journal
to point out wherein tee havo ever preach
sd secession oi treason. But no response
has been made! Lot us now look at his
record. Let us seo if he is not a Seces
sionist a Disunionist :
From tho Itafttmani Journal, Nor. 14, 1680.
"'If any of the Cotton States feel the
present form of government oppressive,
rind think they can do better out of the
Union than in it, if they Insist on going,
LET THEM GO IN PEACE. It is not
necessary to create any disturbance about
it. to raiso a CIVIL WAR or shed FRA
TERNAL BLOOD. The. rtqht to tceedc may
iif, a rmolntionaru One. BU'i' IT EXISTS
N EV ERT1I ELKSS, ond we do not see how
one party can have a right to do whot
another party has a right to prevent. We
will ever resist tho asserted right of any
tState to remain in the Union and nullify
r defy the laws thereof; to withdraw
from the Union is quite another matter,
nnd if any considerable teetion thall deliberate
ly resolve to go cut, WE FOR ONE SHALL
NOT COUNSEL THE ADOPTION OF
COERCIVE MEASURES TO PREVENT
IT."
From the RafUmane Journal, Deo. 4, 1860.
"If South Carolina shall bo left to stand
tdotto it is very probablo that she must
ultimately recede but if the Cotton States
generally unilt K-ith her in seceding theicsvlt
mau be different, and though the movement
is revolutionary, many of otr shrewdest men
think no effort shculd be made to prevent their
going out, AS IT WOULD J5E tVLLY H
ATTEMPT TO SUBDUE SOME TWO
OR THREE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE."
Tho reader cannot fail to recognize
Orecly, of the N. Y. Tribuue, in the above
extracts, yet they are adopted and inser
ted, a editorial, in the Jounxal, and cannot
fail to fasten upon it the undeniable fact
that Secession was anknow ledged AS A
RIGHT, that "it would be FOLLY to at
tempt lo SUBDUE three million of peo
ple," and that they prferred "TO LET
THEM GO IN PEACE. All this was said,
! it remembered, immediately after the
election of Lincoln.
We shall next show that, with those
deliberate sentiments, they persistently
opposod all efforts tending to compromise
and calculated to avert the calamity now
npon us, and that their object could be
nono other than to sever tho Union in or
der to get rid of slavery.
B5Ti,"(.ccAsiojAi." is going to hare ev.
try ntitivs-born citizen naturalized, by requite
ing every man to take and subscribe the
new oath, and swear allegiance to Lincoln,
Cameron Co., or be branded a traitor.
This mode of making patriots has been
found to be very cheap. It takes more
than oaths to make some men do what
other men may think right. A Republic
can member of Congress, at the late extra
acssion, was perhaps not far from the
ruth when ne expressed the sentiment
that unneceisarr and compulsory oaths
ere only taken to be broken.

why did they not make known their wish
es. Such requests, respectfully made,
would have been honored at any time.
Such petty fault finding does not become
gentlemen.
We have no desire to criticise the pro
ceedings of that meeting ; I ut we will
tuke the liberty of suggesting to the author
of the resolutions, before he again assert
that Clay and Webster united in the sup
port of the Administration of Gen. Jack
son in ISJi, the propriety oi taking a
glance at the chapter on the "Secret His-
tory of the passage of the Compromise,"
as given in Benton's "Thirty years in the
Senate." lie will there find, perhaps to
hi surprise, that he has palpably falsified
the truth or history.
R. II. Moore. This chnp has lately
been appointed P. M.at Luther.burg, and
has alioady proved himself as reckless in
the discharge of his official duty ai ho is
ignorant of the common amenities of life.
After numerous csmpluints from our
subscribers at that office, we addressed
him a PRIVATE letter, which helms
seen fit to publish. It took him nearly
two weeks to find a man mean enough to
dictate for him. Of the propriety of pub
lishing private letters, we allow the public
to be the judges not doubting that they
will agree with us, that the individual who
docs it is meaner than tho dogs that lick-
ed the sores of Lazarus.
"Let no man trust hlia : nons forbear to shed
Contempt and deep d'mhonor on UU head :
tet f uiltleii children ai he panes by
Phrink from his touch, and shudder at his eye ;
Let lovely woman loatht him with disgust,
And ihao him like ft reptile in the dust."
esuU does us good to see our "irrepres
sible" cotempornries copy so largely from
the great Union speeches of our Demo
cratic lcadors. Tho fact that the Demo
cralic party has always been for theUnion,
is the reason why their speeches sound so
patriotic. If they had publishod such
speeches in times post, instead of the
narrow-minded, sectional tirades of Abol
itionists that, used In pollute their pages,
how much better would bo the present
condition of our poor bleeding country !
Wo should like to see a Union speech
come from some of our Black Republican
Generals or Statesmen, similar to those of
Douglas, Butler, Dix, Holt, Dickinsoii, Ac.
Why do not those political jugglers over
the way publish a Union speech niadu by
Giddings, Wade, Lovejoy. Sumner or Wil
sonall h'gU in the affections of tho pres
ent Administration 1 But this they can1
not do, for tho very good reason that such
men never tnado Union speeches.
A Pio Jon. We observe by the Press
that Col, Forney has undertaken a still
greater job tlmu that of brenkiug up the.
Democratic party by joining the disunion
ists of the North. Ho is just now engag
ed in selecting President Judges for the
pcoplo throughout the Stale. He seems
to have his man in every district, and they
represent every shade of politics except

It is also his intention to make a Cotton
State out of Pennsylvania to have cotlon
take tho place of wheat, corn, fc, and
tbertby "smoke out" the Cotton planters
of tho South. Tho Colonel has tried a
great many things, in all of which he has
signally failed to convince his fellow ci'.i
xors that he is a great man.
loyGov. Cuitin went to Washington
last week and presented a Flag to tho
Pennsylvania Volunteers, made a hand
some sjeech to the soldiers, And "re-established
amicablo relatioas with Simon
Cameron." This latter was doubtless the
real object of the trip to the Capitol. It
is well known that "a stale of war" bos
existed between these two worthies, prov
ing a great hindrance to the cormorants
hanging around the War Department.

OUR VICTORIOUS ARMY.
The news of the success which has at
tended our army in the recent battles
fought in Western Virginia and Missouri,
coupled with tbe achievements ot our
navy at Hatleras Inlet, and the slight
skirmish had with the enomy at Letvins
vil 1 the other day, has produced the
greatest hilarity among the Union men of
this citv, composed as they are ol t tie den
izens of almost every Northern Slate, who
are now flocking in great numbers to the
