A Fiptken Cent Investment. Tbo
Pittsburg Ixttdt T relates the following ;
Maralmll Kwarlswelder, Ksq., tbe
well-knowii attorney of this city, as
has already been noticed in tbe papers,
returned home a few days ago I rem a
trip to Great Britain and tboooutinent
of Europe. While in London bo con
cluded to take a pleasure jaunt down
the Thames, and an excursion bemg
advertised to leave on the steamer
ady Alice, ho pun bused a ticket for
that boat On going to lha dock be
found that the Lady Alice would not
leave for an hour. Another boat was
just about leaving, however, on the
same trip, and as the fare was bnt fif
teen cent he concluded to buy another
ticket and go on that boat rather than
wait for tba Lady Alice. It waa tbe
luckiest thing that Swartawelder ever
did. Tho Lady Alice departed an bour
later, and it was bor fatal trip. The
lory of how the schooner By well C sa
tis ran into the Lady Alice and aunk
her Inside of five minute, aending sev
en hundred persons to a watery grave,
is known to tbo world, Few but
vory few, indeed ot tho people that
were on board tbat ill-fated steamer
were saved, and had Mr. SwarUwelder
waited around the dock that hour and
taken the Alice be would scarcely have
been in Pittsburg to-day to tell tbe
story ot bis narrow escape, It was the
best fifteen cents that SwartitweMer
ovor invested."
Take A Hand. It I hoped tbat
our nomineea residing in tbe vicinity
wbero Democratic meetings are tdvei
tised to be held, will take an activ
part in getting a turnout of their
neighbors. It will not hurt defeated
candidates in tbe future if they lend
helping hand too. In fact it is the
duty of all Democrats to assist in got-
ting op meetings ; but it is mora par
ticularly tb duty of those who art
seeking the emolument q office,
Democrat who never expect office
havo tb right to manifest little
modesty on this point, but candidates
and expectants bar no right to jump
on their platform, '
O.DeabI The two Chesterfields wbo
preside over the columns of th Belle
font Watchman, have taken offence
because of our accidental rudonoss, in
alluding to the praotical conduct of
some of tb Centre and Clinton atate
men. If wo passed th bound of eti.
quette, in stating a fact, tboy should
not find fault, because w occasionally

tak it all back. W did not mean it
W ar opposed to kicking or cuffing

A Joint Mebtino. Arrangement
have been perfected between tb Chair
man of Clearfield and Centra coaiikics,
to hold Democratio mas meeting at

ed by ex -Governors Cnrtin and Bigler,
Senator Wallac and Israel Test As
this point can b reached by railroad
throughout th ooal region and tb

The time for active ornuinnition and
active work hi comu. Kut one month
remkins in which we muat rt'dtom the
8ute from l!i'iubliian miarulf. The
emifxark of the Republintiia ru in
the county tbinentingdiacurd, apendinft
money end trying to weaken anil
dividu the Deinocmcy. If they biiu
ooed in their effortu to get DuiiKX-raln
to vote for the Greenlnck caiididutua,
they will gain their object, and accom
plish their miwiion, which in niinply to
fpetu.a lopublican power. The
only road of safety is to stand by our
orgaoization and candidates, vote tor
our own principles, and reform tho
Government by turning the Republi
can official out of power.
It is Republican rule that has brought
distress uKn the people, and turned
the laborer upon the street, A voto
tor a Greenback caiiuidalo Helps to
keep that rule In existence, tor tbe
Democracy is the only power that has
any chance of success against Republi
canism. Our old enemy has often tried
to beat us by joining witb now dovices
and new partioa, but the woll's skin
always sticks out. It is merely the
old game in a now gown. JLbeir policy
is to divide and conquer. Our policy
is to stand unbroken, vole lor our can
didates and maintain our principles.
Tbo Rupubiicana are ior bard money,

The Democracy are for the repeal ot
tbo Koaumplion Act, tor no contraction
for Treasury notes in place of National
bank Botes j for saving every dollar of
interest on the public debt that can be
saved ; for all money that la needed for
healthy business anil just remunerative
wages for tbe laborer, and for paying
our paper wben it is due. lue
Democracy are for Government paper
as the sole currency of the country,
but they propose making the papor as
good as a gold or si.ver dollar, so that
the wages of labor shall bo honestly
paid, Thtiy aro tho only party that
can bring the country back to pros
perity. Ft is a choice between con
tinuing Republicanism or changing to
Democracy. No otbor organization
has even a remote chance of succoss.
Why shall Democrats lose their
votes? Now is tbo hour to stand by
tho old colors and sweep on to victory.

THE NOMINA TION OF GO V.
CUBT1N FOR CONGRESS.
Tbe Democratio Congressional con
ference of tbo twentieth district, com
posed ol tho counties of Centre, Clear
field, Clinton, Union, Mifflin and Elk,
mot on Thursday, the 2tUh ultimo.,
and nominated Andrew G. Curlin for
Congress. The district is largely Dem
ocratic, and the election of the "War
Governor," by large majority, may
bo regarded as reasonably certain,
In speaking of Ibis nomination, the
Philadelphia Timet says :
"There is special significance in the
nomination of Governor Curtin by tho
Democrats in one of their strongest
districts. Had they chosen him in a
doubtlul district to do for thorn what
they couldn't do tor themselves, it
would havo no more meaning than tho
usual expedinuta of minority parties to
win battles against odds ; but when a
party majority of lour or five thousand
is tendered to bjin witb ft nomination
it is notice that liberal progress baa en
trenched itsell in tbe Democratic camp
and tbat tho Democrats propose to
make common cause with all who have
common desire to retrieve tbe state and
oounty from tbe political demoralisa
tion that dotorms authority on every
aide.. Governor Curtin stands the con
Cussed leader of tbe Republican senti
ment that bo been drivon to revolt by
rule in tbe party tbat I as corrupt
as it is despotic, and bis name on the
Dill ticket, in Dill's district, and his ac
tive participation in tbe content as the
living evidence of the policy of victor
ious Demooraoy, will bo one of tbe grav
est obstacles to the success of the Cam
eron-11 oyt combination."
Swapping Horses. "The late la
mented Lincoln," always bad an aver
sion to swapping horses while crossing
a stream." ItseemstheGrocnbackors
in tbia county are not of tbo name way
of thinking, because they have trailed
off their nominee for Treasurer and
one of their candidates for County
Commissioner, and jumped on Mr. C.
Kratxor, in Hie place ol Mr. Widomlro,
and Mr. in tho room of Mr.
Rittenhouse. The point in this, is,
that tba men who have alway growl
ed at "ring work," should bo overtak
en in totting up the cheapest "ring
job" ever attempted in this county.
Wo have no doubt but that "tho ring"
yelp will not be so frequent in the fu
ture.
Cowabdlt. W advise the editor
of tbe Bcllefoiite Watchman, tbat the
next time they want to slab one of our
party nomineea in the back, not to em
ploy onr name, but come right op in
front and lue tbe knife manfully. Iet
as alone until w beooqio pandidate
for offlc, then sail in. Th bastile, lie,
vermin and the bloody shirt, la good
stuff for Badical declamation, but
Democrat should take 119 stock in
those thread bare offences, which will
cod tbe Badical party to it grave, in
November next. There Is no use in a
Democrat playing Maseppa thesa
times. Tbe war point should havo
been put on before tbe primary elec
tion, if a fight wa contemplated.
Ou a Absbmblt Camdidatb. Dr
Bennett, onr nomine lor Assembly,

day last week. The Doctor made
many trienda while here, and be will

Ho reviewed in brief his departure

tbo timo ho aaked to return from the
Russian mission, and pledged himself,
it elected, to tio an in bis i,er to
rcstoro prosperity and secure tin econ
omical administration ot the National
Government. Vpon tho flnancos, be
recognised that it was tho National
Legislature tbat had to deal with that
subject, and he defined his position,
which ho believed was the true Inter
prctation of tbo platform adopted by
tbe Democrats at Pittsburg. Ibat
platform bo endorsed, and on it bo was
willing to stand ana go ociore me poo
plo. In conclusion he said : "Gentle
men, if am elected to the popular
branch ot tho national ljcgiialure
will consider it my highest duty so to
act as to bring to my country tlmt
prosperity and happiness which tlio
vicious rule of lho party in powor has

vanceinont cf the Democratic cause,
Mr. Itakor then spoke, lie thanked
tbe Conferees who had voted for him
for the honor of their preference, and
congratulated the Conference upon hav
ing nominated so eminent a statesman
and able gentleman as Hon. Andrew G.
Curtin, whom it would be his duty and
pleasure to support ; thaf bo would re
turn to Union county, go to work for
tbe cause, and seek to givo to the nom
inee largor voto than any nominee
