' DEMOCltATIC MEETING.
In accordance with the usages of
the Democratic party in this county,
n Mass Meeting will ho held in the
Court House, on Tuesday evening of
Court week, Jamiaiy lUh, ISOG. It is
hoped that each township and bor
oufrh in the county will be represen
ted on the occasion, for the purpose of
appointing conferees to nominate both
Senatorial nnd Ileprescntativc Dele
gates. The senatorial to meet like
conferees from the counties of Clarion.
Cameron, Elk and Forest. The rep
resentative conferees to meet like con
ferees from Elk and Forest, to elect
delegates to the Democratic Slate
Convention, which meets at Harris
burg on the 5th of March next.
Wo desire to pay to the Democracy
of Clearfield county, that when a call
is made for tho assembling of those
who place theirtrnst in the intelligence
and discriminating justico of tho peo
ple ; there outrht to he a general turn
out on the occasion. Let us come to
gether and show to the world, that
we regard tins as a distinctive feature
of our political creed, and that we are
proud to maintain before tho world as
the great moral truth,that our form of
government springs from, and is up
held by a great whilo constitueiKV.
Contrast it with the creed and prac
tice of modern Republicanism, which
seeks to palsy the will of tho constit
uent by substituting Imperialism for
Democracy; and conccivo no impos
ture too monstrous for tho public cre
dulity. It is manifest that the leaders
of the Abolition party are extremely
mischievous, and are fast hurrying us
towards the fearful issue of iic-to suf
frage; and while they seek to enfran
chise the negro, they dis-lrancbise the
white man. Tho Democratic party,
is tho party for white men, made up
of white men, and in favor of the rights
of white men. Its principles tend,
us to obey and respect tho writ of ho
Iras conus, free speech, freo pres?
the right to petition for redress of
grievances, trial by jury, in favor ol
tlio who!'.' Constitution and an und
vided country ; nil of which our op
