II. J. Sloitt, Eq: Dear Sir:
Your eminently palriotio and sterling
Democratic letter has just been re
ceived and read with great satisfac
tion. For the (Uttering manner in
which you address me and ask my
opinions on tfie coarse to be pursued,
in the future, you have my sincere
thanks. I will answer you with that
unrestrained frankness and candor
which has always characterized my
political utterances, which your letter
seems to anticipate and demand.
I am glad you and the gallant De.
mocrury of Knox are not demoralized
at our recent defeat by the imported
nogro voto, Philadelphia and New
York repealers and ballot-box suffers
together with the corrupt use of Lam
eron's money, stolen from the United
States and St to Treasuries. These
things are no longor matters of con
jcclure, but are openly boasted of by
the vilo perpetrators of fraud and vio
lence on tbo elective franchise. IIu-
miliating as thvso things must be to
all honest Pennsylvanians.they furnish
no reason why we should surrender to
the scoundrels who practice these out
rages upon us. Our cause, which is
simply that of constitutional liberty
and self-government, although for the
moment checked, ia not so badly fa I
lun yet as Christianity appeared to be
when the Pliariseos crucified its Foun
der; not near so badly fallen as our
oar own glorious revolution was in the
dark winter of 1777 ; not half fo badly
fallen its reason and common sense
wrre during the reign of witchcraft
in Now Englund, whon every man
who would not swear that he saw an
old woman riding a broomstick a mile
high In the air, was in danger of being
hanirod for a wizard himself. No, the
causo of common sense and justice and
liberty, for which wo struggle, is no
worse off now than the samo good
cause was then. We can wait for the
verdict of returning reason; unti
these delusions of this negro-eqalizing
witchcraft are endod. Already they
Are ending. The crushing weight of

ons monster just as certainly as th
sun shines. Slates' rights and States'
pride cannot be dosiroyed if the poo
pie only remain true and the party of
liberty keep up its courage. To say
that States' rights (although now ul
terly Ignored by the powers at Wash
ington,) are permanently gone, is to
say that liberty la gone, is to My that
there is an end of the government es
tablished by our fathers. To proposo
to aoquiesce in this stupendous trea
son against the sovereignty of the
States, it to go over to the centralis

only real vital istue between the
Democrats and Liberal Republicans
PRINCIPLES)
CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6,
to abandon the government of
the '
State, to the Aunlrian diwotin
t of
federal eentralication, ie crime
against ourselves and our childien.
It Is k cowardice which ihoold make ,
every man bluah. The Democratic;
watchword must be, "the Constitu
tion." That is the immortal charter
of States' rights. Let ny man who
will not stand by that go over to the
traitors at once, that the party of lib
erty may be well weeded of Its bram
ble The man who propones to hold
on to the Conatitution and at tfte
same time to relinquish State sover
eignty, is a logicul curiosity. lie
proposes to fight lor a shadow worse
than that, for a shadow in the form of
a subalance. But the idea of the
Constitution without State sovereign
ty has not substtnee enough to throw
shadow. 1
As to principle, as to a procodent.
the late election, so called, has really
established nothing. A certain amount
of brute momentum has overcome a
esncr amount of rcaiatance. Bui the
Constitution still elands, with ono
party opposed to It and another for it.
The Democracy is for it, and although
at the present moment in the minori
ty, it by no means proposos to yield
the sacred ground to this noisy foe.
The anti-States' rights, or old Federal
party, was in a minority Irom the
lose of John Adams administration,
1800, to the election ot Abraham
Lincoln. Indeed, during nil that pe
riod it lay buried, for tho Whig parly
was, as well as the Democracy, a
States' rights party. ' Tho party that
just now rules this country cume out
of tbe tombs even after Lincoln oelec
lion, and, out-doing the devils jn the
ancient country of the Gadarenes, en
tered into the men insioad of swine,
and drovo them down the steep pluces
nto a sea of blood
But, does a swinish majority dis
hearten us? Not if we are men: not
f we are patriots. We must fight this
battle of liberty, if nocossary, ns lung
as we livo; and if it is not settled be
fore our dentin let us bequeath tho
sacred struggle to our children, and
lo their children, as long as there is
ono bravo and virtuous man loft on
tlie continent
In looking for tho redemption of
our country we must base our expec
tations upon influences that have no
reference to Executive action. Nor
can at present such expectations be
based upon any sort of recognition f
the lawfulness of those bills of Con
gress. There mut be a great and de
termined party, which sternly refuses
to admit the legality of this indeceni
rump of a Congress, and which wil'
Droclaim all its sou null and void. An
long as this body is treated as a Cob
grcss within the meaning of the Con
slitution, and as long as its acts are
regarded as law, without a resolute
and uncompromising protesting parly
it is usuless and foolieih to cherish
hope for the salvation of the country
We have at all times the right of ap
pealing to. the ballot, but we have
also, alas I an illustration of what ap
pealing to tho ballot moans in the late
election in this State and in North
and South Carolina. There eeuma lo
be no longer a legnl ballot. When
the vote of every patriotic Slate ia to
bo overbalanced and made void by
swarms ol niggers; when in the
Southern Stales the election returns
are to be made by a set of military
vagabonds without the least restraint
or supervision of law ; when, whether
the vote be one thousand or one mil
lion depends not upon the population
but upon tho will of those unprinci
pled tools of Congress, lbs mnr'ial
law commanders, Congress not only
makes the law but does all tbe voting
through the machinery of its device.
Are wo to be looked upon as a nation
of fools, as well as a nation of cowards ?
Lot us keep a purty in the fluid, al
though smallor now than ouropprea
sors, but one that will be mighty it
the profound strength of its patriot
ism and its manhood. The thunderr
of such a party will ut lasl tumble in
ruins ibis vast African tetnnle of des
potism and lies. If against the hell-
begotten mscblnery of Congrers this '"inse wnom mey ...v
temple cannot be voted down, it mu.tThey need not flatter themselves that

torrible despotism is not only lo be Hism Is death. Those who meokly

II that were oo the only way to get the
atrenglh W to BMort the right. Amert
It in word, ao loud m thunder and a
hard as cannon balls; proclaim It to
tho world that the reaaon, and the
only teason, why all the dostroyers of
our Constitution snd the architect of
our dospotism are not overwhelmingly
srrested In their illegal careers is the
want of a loud and defiant proclama
tion of their death-doserving crimes
and the justice and legality of forcible
resistance. 1ml J tnaun, sir, is to
perpetually assert the right of forcible
resistance to and (he wrong and sbume
of passive acquicaence in the despotic
ecu of illegul power. "Preserve the
manhood of public opinion, even if we
lack the couruge to defend our liberty.
Fearlessly and unceasingly proclaim
what we huve an etornal right to do,
whether it is our policy to immediate
ly enforco that right or not." Edu
cate and inspire '.he peoplo with a
knowledgo of tho right. The cause of
our country is by no means so desper
ate that 'it cannot be saved by the
patriotism and courage even by a mi
norily. If Democracy and liberty
perish together it will not be on ac
count of the strength of despotism,
but because of the weakness of the
will and resolution of the party of
liberty. No nation ever lostils liber
ty which did not first loose its virtue
and its courngo. No country was
over reduced to such slraits that even
few brave and determined men
could not save it. Once, when the
liberty of Rome was threatened,
during youth, Caius Muciua, inspired
hy three hundred brave and nolle
Romans, forced the tyrant Porsenna
to relinquish his grasp, and liberty
was preserved by the coursgo and
patriotism of only three hundred of
her youths. Is there no lesson in all
this lo the hundred tyrants or so who
are ihe authors and leaders of all the
oppressive abominations of Congress ?
Let them rend history and ask them
selves whether the people, whose
rights they are cruahing and whose
property they are stealing, havo not a

This onto secured, and a great rail

This is the work of Mexico, and her

But hotter fur and greater than any

ment as a permanent triumph of peace
and amove forward in iho best inter

at once as a lroni and protrressive
government, brings her forward in
the family of nations, and thus puts
her at peace with the world. Alaxi

Mexico, nor Napoleon dreamed of con
