The Democratic Meeting.
One of tho finest Dcmocratio meet
ings ever held in Clearfield county,
assemhled in the Court House on the
evening of the 24th. What it lacked
in numbers, in comparison with former
gatherings, it made up in enthusiasm
The determination on ever' counte
nance was visibly expressed that Rad
icalism would bo suppressed at the
October election.
Tho meeting was called to order
by the Chairman of tho County Com
mittee, who proposed the name of
Mr. John Lawbhe, of Osceola, for
President, which was carried unani
mously, Air. Lawshe, upon taking
the stand, delivered an appropriate
speech, and thanked the audience for
this mark of respect.
After the President had taken his
seat, Col. Barrett moved that the fol
lowing gentlemen Le elected Vice
Presidents, viz :
T't'ce President! John Liglitner,
Thomas Henderson, Thomas Smith,
Robert Mehaffey.Thomns Riley, Hon.

Brcth.
Tho meeting being fully organised,
Senator Wallace appeared in the Court
Room with General McCandless, of
Philadelphia, who, upon being intro
duced by tho former, proceeded to
address the assembled mulliludo in
an eloquent manner. The General's
charges wero often as scvero against
the ''traitors at tho other end of tho
lino" (as rrenidcnt Johnson denomi
nates Thad. k Co.,) as they wero in
tho field during tho rebellion. He
was listened lo with marked attention
by the audience; a large number of
tho ''loyal'' portion of tho community
being present, who sometimes cheered
him as lustily as tho Democrats.
At the conclusion of the speech of
General McCandlcss loud calls were
mado for Senator Wallace, who pro
ceeded to address tho meeting in his
usual eloquent manner, detailing to
tho satisfaction of all present the
prodigality and excessive and unne
cessary taxation imposed upon tho
people by the party in power.
After Mr. Wallace closed, Dr. Boycr,
Chairman of the Committee on Reso
lutions, appeared and reported the
following preamble and resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted:
Wnr.ar.AR, Tho Democratic party
of Clearfield county, impelled by the
consideration that the free institutions
of tho country have been prcatly
injured and continue to be imperiled
by the conduct and policy of tho so
called Republican parly;
And vhereas, Wo deem it onr duty
to call opon the Democratic masses,
and all others who do not approve of
the radical and nnwise purposes of
that party, to arouse themselves to a
stern and determined opposition to i
them
And trherras, It would be a work
of supererogation to recite tho many
wrongs committed by that party
against the sacred rights of tho people
and the guaranteed rights of the
States ;
And whereas, Tho most superficial
observer must bo aware that every
Constitutional obligation has either
been openly violated, or evaded by
legislative rascality, under the pre
tense of defending tho Union of tho
States, which has boon virtually de
stroyed ten of the Suites having been
placed nnder military domination and
their people deprived of every vestige
of self-government : therefore,
Re it resolved, That the Constitution
of the United States, and tho iaws
made in pursuance thereof, are tho
inpreme law 01 in inu, anjuiing in b- sUld b t hav; Ucn
.h CoriKtitntion or lwg of ny Stle . ,. , r , , . '
to Ibe contrary notwitLsUndinp, and nJ"-r"o.l for ncarljr week, 1.. was
that by virlne of the Conntitntion of j malle to make a peech. lie, how
the United State, and tho precedent! j erer, clcarlj demonitrated that if the
of orcr eiffh'.r yearti, the people of : rrnocraU of TenntvlTania would
1 . 1 . 1 1
aeb State nave the pipht to regolnte
th-ir own domestic affair, chief of
which i the elortive franchite; and
anj attempt made by ConcreM Xo
narp nnd atnme to thennclre this
cardinal principle will bo rohistod by
forco.
Resolved, That the attempt of the
Radicals to bring about negro suffrage
anywliero meets with our unqualiliud
condemnation ; and if negro suffrage
is evor mado a part of tho luw of this
country, it will bo because tho whito
man is too cowardly to resist less
than one third of the physical strength
of tho countrv.
Resolved, '1'hat tho Democracy of
Clearfield county look with undis
guised contempt upon any and all
efforts lo conciliate the beastly spirit
of the Radical part', whoso uiui is to
totally , destroy the libortien of tho
fieoplo of this country ; and we un
lonitatingly declare that, according to
the Constitution, confiscation would
be unadulterated robbery, and the
only remedy for those who, by force
and fraud, will scire- from the rightful
owners, tho lands which every nuercd
obligation of tho law has guaranteed
to them, is to shoot and poison every
such confiscating villain. If history
records any other remedy against
such crimes, wo have not read it, and
demand to know on what page it can
bo found.
Resolved, That we view with alarm
tho present enormous indebtedness of
the country, which is daily increased
by a system of Radical prodigality,
support of military monarchies, negro
bureaus, and tho long list of paid offi
cers of tho government, for which
there is no precedent and less neces
sity. Resolved, That tho Democratic par
ty now, as heretofore, expresses itself
as th unchanged advocato of a hard
money currency which, by a system
of speculation and robbery, bas been
superceded by the present undeter
mined currency: but. whilo preen-
backs aro tho accepted medium of
circulation, we demand that while the
farmer is compelled to receive in pay
for tho products of his toil, tho ino
chanic nnd artisan for bis work, and
tho laboring man for his hard labor
this depreciated currency, the cold,
cruel, and non-taxpaying" bondholder
shall accept them as interest on the
gains ho has reaped from tho necessi
ties of tho government.
Reulved, That tho confession of
Thaddeus Stevens, the driver of the'
Republican party, that the legislation
of Congress necessarily and absolutely
repudiated tho Constitution, "outside
of which all agreed they were acting,"
adds to the treason of usurpation the
critno of perjury, and, aniens signally
rebuked by tho President and the!
people, will result in anarchy and ruin
Resolved, That the suspension of
Edwin M. Stanton was demanded and
is endorsed by all men who abhor a
despot and detest a spy, and tho Pres
ident of the United Slates is justified
in his expulsion.
Resolved, That wo will sustain and
heartily co-opcrato with tbo Treki'dent
in bis patriotic effort for tho protec
tion of tho Constitution, tho mainte
nance of tho Union, and the preserva
tion of liberties "inestimable to us and
formidablo to tyrants only."
Resolved, That the passage, hv the
last Republican Leginlature of Penn
sylvania, of a law forcing negtoe.
into railway cars, notwithstanding
the companies, offered special cars
for their accommodation, is but the
prcltido to a forced association with
whito citizens at tho ballot-box and
in the domestic circle; a political
amalgamation and a social miscege
nation which wo utterly repudiate.

Resolved, Thai the gentlemen com
posing the ticket for the several coun
ty offices aro worthy and competent
men, and entitled to our undivided
support.
Resolved, That the great Demo
cratic party, in tho future as in the
post, will adhere to the great motto
of the banner of the State, and will
ever remain the advocato of the Vir
tue, Liberty, and Independence of her
citizens.
After the adoption of the resolu
tions a motion was made and adopted
requesting T. J. McCullough, Eeq.,
our nominee for Assembly, to address
the meeting.
He uoon appeared on
e
turn out to the election in October,
and protest bj thoir ballot againtt

tm of taxation inaugurated bj Tha.I.

At tho conclusion of Mr. McCul
lough's remarks thrco rousing cheers
were given for tho Constitution, the
Union, harmony and peace, and for
tho whole Dcmocratio ticket; and the
meeting adjourned. -
"M'artt for liond holder ."
The Philadelphia J'ress, nndor tho
above caption, advUos voters, if they
believe in "the party that created
greenbacks and the 'jonda," "and that
stands pledged lo keep faith with th
bondholders, and to maintain the na
tional credit," to vote for Henry W.
Williams. Cooler impudence, in tho
face of tho record of Judjro Williams
and the action of the Ruiiical party,
we never saw, beard, or read of.
Docs tho Press suppose that its read
ers, of whose intelligence it boasts,
know not that Henry W. Williams
and his political friends stand con
victed of the repudiation of the Allo-
glieny county bonds, and that suits
ure now pending in tho courts of that
county to compel them to pay the
interest on the bonds to which this
same Judge Williams and Lis backers
"stand pledged?" Judge Williams
opposed to repudiation ! Why, he is
tue very personification of it.
Farther, the party of Jjdge Wil
liams it was that carried through the
Legislature the bill to "repudiate" the
payment of tbo interest of tho State
bonds in specie, when that party stood
"pledged to keep faith with the bond
holders of Pennsylvania" Our read
ers will nee in the following extract
trora tlio Atncan organ at Jiamsburg,
how the record of Ibis faithful party
stood :

only as fur back as H, tho party
thai is now "oledtfed to keep fuitti

voted to rcpudiato the solemn contract
of the State of Pennsylvania with the
holders of its bonus.
This unblushing effrontery and mis
representation of the I'tess is only
equaled by it efforts to convince the
people that Juilgo Sharswood is in
favor of repudiation because ho do
tided that Congress could not pass
an act to make depreciated greenbacks
a legal tender for tue payment of
interest, when there was a specific
contract, mado previous to the enact
ment, thai it should bo psid in silver.

! Performed that duty. ThecomiuiUee
consisted of two ladies and threo men,
who mot in (Jlenrhold, on Sept. 21st,
with the understanding that when any
three members voted
lor the same
be the book
, 4, , , ,,
text-book, it should
adopted. This rnlo held good in all
but throo cases, as follows:
When the chairman callod for the
vote on Penmanship, threo voted for
t oiler 4 Hammonds, and two for
Payson, Dunton & Scribncr's. A
certain member of the committee was
not satisfied with this voto, and did
not give up until ono of tho majority
concluded to settle it by changing to
the minority; and the dissatisfied and
defeated member, constituting one of
me minority, ruiea the committoe.
When tho chairman called for tho
voto on Readers, threo voted for Hil
lard's and two for Parker & Watson's.
This voto was opposed by the same
memoer, who was not willing to be
ruled by the majority on Penmanship,
and complained until a member was
j -i i . .
induced Dy some unfair means, or
other, to change and voto to satisfy
this obstinate and selfish member.
And, when tho voto on Arithmetics
was taken, three voted for Stoddard's
and two for Brooks's. On this, the
member who caused tho difficulty in
the above cases was in tho minority,
and would not be governed accord
ingly. Iho two members who voted for
Brooks's acknowledged that it was not
on account of any merit in the work ;
and they confosaed that it waa not
the best Arithmetic, and had no ob
jection to Stoddard' work. So there
was not a single vote cast in favor of
Brooks's for any other than private
personal reasons. And must tho in
terests of tho county bo sacrificed lo
ope our county is moro
uiivo to il interests, than to allow
such a thing to pass.
Allow me to say in conclusion, that
I hope the Directors will inquire into
this matter, and when found to be as
above stated, appoint a cotnmitteo
composed of seven directors, selected
from seven districts, no two of which
shall lio contiguous to each other,
whoso duty it shall be to examine
books for adoption in common schools,
and recommend a uniform scries com
posed of the most suitable books for
tho schools in the county.
