The Tonage Tax. The nomination of Henry D. Poster, late attorney tor the Pennsylvania ltailroad, for Governor, and the fact that Win. A. Stokes, the railroad's present principal at torney, is making speeches for him, beto ken that an effort will be made to repeal the tonage tax next winter. In Hunting don John Scott, railroad attorney, has been nominated as the democratic candidate for Senator, and in our own county the democ racy has kept as ominous silence on this subject as on the Presidency, leaving Bates entirely free, if elected. We commend this state of things to the honest portion of the democrats who are opposed to the re peal of this tax. Let them remember that Mr. Foster was a railroad attorney, at a high salary, when he was a member of the Legislature, and made more than one speech )n lavor of that "monopoly." Let them remember that Mr. Bates was pledged last year to oppose a repeal, and now is not— then put this and that together, and any one can sec how the wind blows. |rs-Tf that consistent paper with Dou glas at iu head and Breckcnridge at its heels, tho Lewistown Democrat, will refer to the Gazette published immediately after the Cuicago ( ocvention, it can learn our opinion on the Platform. It will there learn that we dare do a good deal which it jyonld never think of daring to do. THE DOG STORY. Infamous Attempt at Lying and Cheat ing. Some three or four years ago a French cherry and snitz peddler from Snyder coun ty stopped in Bellefonte, having with him a vicious dog, which he had been warned to keep away. Some children, taking les son from the animal's growling and bark ing, commenced " insulting" him as the owner says by plaguing and throwing stones, and then running, the whole thing being regarded as play. We do not remember that the account given in the newspapers alleged that a son of Mr. Curtin was one of them, but at all events the dog caught this boy, and as the papers then stated would have inflicted serious injury had he not been released. On this Mr. Curtin took a pistol, went into the street, remon strated with Mr Frenchman for keeping such a dog untied, to which the French man gave impertinent and insolent answers, whereupon Mr. C. shot the'dog, but did not kill him. The snitz peddler, after a lapse of several years, now alleges that Mr. Curtin called him a "d —d dutchmaii,"Ac. and has lent his name for political purpo ses to cheat the Germans into voting for Foster. Every body at the time said he would have done just as Mr. Curtin chid, and noth ing more was thought of the matter until some weeks ago a political loafer, be coming desperate at the prospect of losing his lifelong business, set to work to hatch out something for the benefit of Mr. Fos ter. That candidate it was well known stood no chance of an election, because the , Douglasitcs and the Brcckinridgers well knew that if he succeeded his power and office would be used so that one side wouid have to be cheated. Besides, he had been Attorney for the Pennsylvania Railroad, and was of course in favor of the repeal of the Tonnage Tax ; in addition to which the ( naturalized Germans, so often swindled and betrayed by the patent democrats, had manifested a strong disposition to cut loose from ail connection with those who preach ed up Liberty and .Slavery as one and in separable. In this emergency the Dog Story occurred to him, and if he could only humbug the Dutch, all would be right, i O 7 O lie probably visited the cherry peddler, prepared the letter, which has been pub lished, and no doubt in the usual way got hint to sign his name to it. The hounds of party at once fell into the measure, and ' we now daily see men who tuin up the whites of their eyes in church on Sundays, and others who would at least like to be con sidered decent, running to every man of German descent, retailing the storv with such additions as tattlers and slanderers ! generally make. Now, we will make a brief examination of the tool used in this story. In the first place it is not likely that Mr. Curtin would mistake the monkey face of a French can ail/c for a goodnatured and brnadfaced dutch man —for this man Pichard is not a (lerman, nor of deruian descent. Second- ! ly, if one half of his story is true, he could have not only recovered the value of his ■ dog, but sustained an action against Mr. Curtin which might have made him seri ous trouble. The dog was nut killed —an impression the snitz peddler intends to con voy—for we are told he still has him, and as he left Bellefonte in a hurry after the , occurrence, and amid the execration of ev- ' cry good citizen theic, it is ijuite likely the Frenchman was more in fault than Col. : Curtin. That Pichard is poor is most like ly, for no man has ever got rich by spend- | big that which he makes. His assertion that he can verify his statement by citizens : of Bellefonte is a downright falsehood, for ! he cannot produce a man there of any standing who will endorse the words put down. Byway of caution, we will add the snitz peddler might do well by stick ing close to bis present master, for in ease he visits Centre county too frequently, he might some day leave it with an extra coat. The very appearance of this letter ought j to satisfy all classes, especially Germans, | that it is intended to cheat and gull them into the support of Foster. Let them re member how often they have been deceiv cd heretofore, and they will be satisfied that this is but a loeofoeo trick to bring them hack, as a loco said last week to do the democratic voting! Attend to the Assessments. We remind our friends that FRIDAY next is the last day on which assessments can be made in order to vote at the Octo ber election. The committees should act promptly and efficiently, and sec that the name of every voter in their respective wards is on the Assessor's list in time. ! Do not procrastinate ! recognize no less than three dif ferent " editors'' in- the last Democrat, which accounts for several conflicting arti cles that must have sorely puzzled some of the hardtisted who set down all jt says as gospel truth ! THE DEMOCRAT'S DUTCH LIES. The attention of the Democrat was call ed to the following cards, but thus far it has paid no attention to them. The letters ; were addressed to the Centre Berichter, in which the charge first appeared, and lion- j orably retracted. Head them, and then judge whether a paper which will know ingly circulate such falsehoods is entitled to any credit at all : Frederick Kurtz, Esq. Dear Sir—ln your last paper I notice you charge .V. <. Ourtin, Esq., with having said in a speech in Beile fonte, in may last, 'that a Dutchman is not like another person, he has two sculls, and in order to get an idea into his head, you must first smash one of his sculls.' As this story has been circulated for some time in this neighborhood, and 1 am quoted as authority for it, 1 am much pleased to do justice to Mr. Ourtin, by a plain statement of how it originated. In May last I had a trial in court, and Mr. , Curtin was my counsel. During the progress of the trial some person remarked in Mr. Our tin or Mr. Wilson's office (who was also one j of mv lawyers) that it was hard to understand the suit: and 1 remarked that there was no trouble in understanding it except by the double sculled Dutch. I repeated this alter wards in the street, and on my return home told it. Mr. Curtin said nothing of the kind, and I do not know that he was even present when I made the remark. What 1 said was without malice and intended for a joke. Be ing a Dutchman myself, I did not expect that it would be charged on an innocent party, to his injury. I trust you will publish this ex : planation and acquit Mr. Curtin of a charge of which he is innocent. Yours, &0., LOT STRI'BBLE. Messrs. Editors : I understand a report is in circulation that I am the author of the ',-kull story' circulated to damage the inter est- of Col. A. 0. Curtin. I would state this is not so; I repeated merely w hat 1 heard others sav. JOHN MUSS KB. THE ELECTION—ARE YOU READY. Ou Tuesday, the Oth day of October, the voters of this County will be Called upon to exercise the privilege of selecting State and County Officers and Members of Congress, and thereby express their appro val or disapproval of the issues at stake. Our opponents have no principles to avow —no measures to advocate—will not en dorse the State administration of Governor Packer nor the National Adminstr_tioii of James Buchanan, and lack the mora! cour age even to censure what they acknowledge to be wrong in the latter; yet with all this, it must be seif evident to the most casual ob server that the election of Poster will be claimed as an endorsement of the adminis tration of Buchanan, and if a majority of the Legislature should be democratic, end in the return of Bigler to the Senate, liis election, too, will be an endorsement of Southern views on the tariff question, and put off all hope of an increase of duties on the great staples of this State for an indefinite period. This, let laboring men mark, will be the result of Foster's election. The so called democratic county ticket, composed of men who don't know who they are for President is also without a single plank of a platform except self, and their supporters feeling themselves at a loss on what ground to advocate their claims, are manufacturing all kinds of stories. The " dutch" especially trouble them, and hence we hear of all kinds of the most absurd things respecting our candidates. As an instance we will state that hcrr some good locofocos who heartily cursed the Germans two years ago, are now electioneering against Mr. Burr 011 the ground that he was a know nothing of the straitestsect, while among our Ornish friends in the val ley he isrepresented as a foreigner 1 Mr. It. was born near Myerstown, Lebanon coun ty, as any one can ascertain by making in quiry. Against Mr. Gibboney like tales are also spread with untiring industry, and we shall not be surprised to hear before the election, taking the Democrat's dutch stories for samples, that Mr. Brower has in his life killed a calf or something else, and that Stanbarger has swallowed M'Near at a mouthful, a thing he is very iikely to do about the 9th of October. The most sensible thing all men can do just before an election, is to place no reli ance 011 electioneering stories invented to gull people, as those who circulate them are very apt to laugh in their sleeves at the folks who can be influenced by such soft soap means. These matters indicate that the mum candidates are alarmed not a little. Let them rave on, and in the meantime we would recommend to all independent voters to keep poking at them the question " Who are you for for President ?" The man who cannot honestly answer that ques tion six weeks before the Presidential elec tion. is not fit to be elected to any office, for go as he will iie must afterwards intend to cheat one wing or the other. tt-.A.A negro runaway was arrested near Preutice, (Miss.,) and put on board the Victoria on her last trip. The negro was hand cuffed, but while the boat was pro ceeding down the river, he got the cuff off his left hand, and immediately made prep arations to leave the boat on the tirst op portunity. He accordingly hid himself over the wheel-house, and when pursued, he jumped down inside of the wheel-house, where he could not be reached from above. A skiff was immediately sent out to take him from his perilous position, but before it could reach him, he jumped into the riv er and was drowned. The Democrat can put this by the side of its Beauties of Sla very. Doubtful Support of Douglas- The Democrat of last week announces with a flourish of trumpets that " The doctrine of " non-intervention by Congress with slavery in the territories" is a cardinal principle of tbo democratic party, Nouh and South, and to that doctrine we are fully and uncompromisingly committed, seeing it is tiie only safe and practical solu tion of the infernal slavery question. We stand upon the platform adopted in Cincin nati in 1856 and re affirmed at Charleston and Baltimore in 1860, and "sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish," we shall bat tie for it to the utmost of our ability." After this superlative announcement that paper copies the Douglas Platform, to which it alleges it is " devotedly attached, and to which we (it) will continue to ad here;' - and yet in the very next column it says— "Our views with relation to the expediency of running a straight Douglas ticket in this State remain unchanged, and hence we can not give it support." Most people will think that it is a strange way to " sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish" with a principle, for although willing to do all that for the sake of Doug las's platform, yet it announces that it cannot support electors pledged to Doug las, but prefers those who represent disor ganization and disunion, and who are in favor of the Breckenridge doctrine that slavery goes into the territories by the Constitution, and of course evervtvherc else—for if slavery exists by that instru ment, 110 .'"date law can impair it. Now here is what Douglas said at Reading a few weeks ago : If yuu sanction or tolerate this new dodge, you hold out a premium for every faithless man to bolt in future. p'or one, I can never iuse, and never will fuse with a man who tells me tlie democratic creed is contrary to reason and to the Constitution. la.-t us spurn the bolting idea. Let us stand firm to our prin ciples; let us maintain the integrity of the democratic party, and then trust our cause to ( >d and the people. I have fought twenty seven pitched battl a since I entered public lile, and never yet traded with nominations or surrendered to treachery. And if I mis take not the true spirit of the democracy of old Berks, they will stand by their colors and scorn all alliance either with Northern Abol itionists or Southern sccessionisnt." Bridges to be Built by the County. A Matter for the Consideration of Tax payers. Mr. Bates, the democratic candidate for Legislature, we are informed, has made a promise that in ease of his election he would procure the passage of a law next winter throwing TIIK BUILDING OF ALL BRIDGES ON THE COUNTY TREASI RY. This species of election eering we are told has been used in Dem and Armagh townships, both ol which suf fered considerably by the high water last spring. If this question is to be agitated, it is proper that the taxpayers of the whole county should know it, as there is no doubt, under present circumstances, such a law would shortly DOUBLE IF NOT TREBLE TIIE COUNTY TAX, as bridge schemes would spring up in all quarters along the liver and creeks.— Where a county can be traversed in all di rections by carriages and wagons, it is prop er enough that the county treasury should bear such burthens, but separated as ours is by Jack's Mountain, with but a single passable gap in a distance of thirty miles, there is no more propriety in making the valley pay for river bridges than for us to pay for their roads. By the latest news from Europe, we learn that Garibaldi has entered Naples with out opposition, and proclaimed Victor Eman uel King. THE CHEAT IIOLLAAD REMEDY !

It soothes the throbbing head, corrects acidity of the stomach, assists digestion, and creates a healthy appetite. It is. without doubt, a most delightful preparation, and an effectual remedy. The fact that it is now a very pop ular medicine throughout all the Holland settlements 111 Wisconsin. New York. Illinois and Indiana, speaks mtieh in its favor. -See advertisement in another column. Ilolloway's Pills.--Mufh Truth in a small compass.— Derangement of the Stomach aiul Bone— Few people are conversant with the manner in which the blood is created, or that the stomach with the gastric juices, the secretions of the liver and the action of the lungs are Ihe chief agents for convert ing the food we eat into blood, hence the great neoes ity for preserving the stomach in a sound and healthy condition. Nothing has yet been discovered more ef fectual for this than Hollow-ay's famous Pills, which act directly on the stomach, liver, bowels anil circula tion. I n billions disorders, indigestion, costiveness and all consequent complaints, neadach, piles, and debility there is no medicine in use which insures such certain and beneficial results.
