MASS MEETING
The friends of Lincoln, Hamlin, Curtiu,
Hale and the County Ticket, are invited to
attend mass meetings in Lewistown on
FRIDAY EVENING,
October sth, 1860.
The X\ ide Awake Clubs throughout this
and adjoining couutie3 are invited to at
tend in uniform and parade, (say at six
o'clock) previous to the organization of the
meeting in the evening.
(IEORGE FRYSINGER,
Chairman People's Co. Com.
Lewistown, Sept. 27, 18G0.
Foster and the Repeal of the Tonnage Tax,
Bates and Bridge Taxes,
MeXear and Smith's Lottery Trinkets,
Waream and Pat Casey, and
Cunningham and amiable (?) looks,
are the watchwords of Democracy this
year. Fall in, Taxpayers !
WHO'S TO BE CHEATED ?
Democrats, remember that Foster, in
case of his election, will deceive either the
Douglas or the Breckinridge men.
Bates, it elected, will decive one or the
other in voting for U. S. Senator.
M'.Vear, Waream, and Cunningham, will
deceive one side or the other after the Oc
tober election by coming out either for
Douglas or Breckinridge—probably the lat
ter.
Can you vote for men who don't know,
or pretend not to know, who they are in
favor of for President.
Democrat now says there was
no vote in the Senate on the tariff bill.
The speeches in the Congressional Globe,
including Bigler's, made the vote we pub
lish a test vote—so that either the Globe
or the Democrat don't tell the truth.
According to Banks, Fleming & Co.,
the Homestead bill is a democratic measure,
yet Buchanan vetoed the one passed last win
ter. According to the same authority Hale
done nothing towards the tariff, yet a good
bill parsed the House of which he was a
member by 41 majority. Out upon such by
pocrfte*.
BSk-A Bell and Everett meeting is ad
vertised to be held here on Friday, prob- !
ably in the afternoon or early part of the '
evening
A Foggy Democrat.
The Lewistown Democrat has got a sin
gular way of proving anil disproving facts,
being however inevitably governed by the
"nigger." Thus the Cincinnati resolu
tion, which favors " free seas and progres
sive free trade," is construed as only mean
ing free seas—a construction so ridiculous
that we doubt whether any one who can
read English will be gulled by it.
Week before last it was willing to die
for non-intervention in territories, and last
: week it was in favor of protecting (which
is intervention) horses, oxen, and niggers !
By the by, who ever heard of Congress
protecting horses and oxen, or any other
property, except through territorial legis
lation ; and if niggers are property like an
imals, is it not curious that they can legis
late on one and not on the other?
In its anxiety to falsify well known
truths, it even alleges that our assertion
that there is not now and never was a
Christian marriage among slaves is untrue.
We pity the ignorance of any one who
will make such a bare-laced denial. "Mar
riages" among slaves in all the Southern
; States are subject to the will of the mas
ter lie or some one else can perform the
ceremony one day, and the next sell the
wife one way and the husband another.
The new master may again marry the
! "wife" to a new husband and the "hus
band" to a new wife, and so on ad infini
tum, and no indictment for adultery will
stand against either —neither are there
any laws against fornication and bastardy
among slaves in the Southern States. If
these are " Christian" marriages, it is time
for patent democrats to alter the New Tes
tament to suit this new dogma of the Lew
istown Democrat, happily thus far the only
paper in the United States, with the ex
ception of Brigham Young's, which de
fends polygamy.
Its happiest effort, however, is made in
behalf of nigger representation. After
quoting our statement that " every five
slaves are good for three votes, so that the
man who owns that number in reality ex
ercises the same prerogative as four white
men do here," the editor of that delecta
'
ble paper calls it a" whopper"—says every
schoolboy knows better —and then actually
proves our assertion by quoting the consti
tutional clause that five slaves shall count
as three votes. That our readers may bet
ter understand this, we give some statistics
from the census of 1850. South Carolina,
with a population of 274,000 whites, has
six representatives in Congress, making
45,000 whites, with 8000 or 0000 votes,
constitute a district. As the ratio of rep-
resentation is over 90,000, it will be read
ily seen that even on an average it takes
less than half the number of votes there to
elect a member of Congress than it does
here, where the colored population is
small. In some large slaveholding dis
tricts the number of voters is as low as five
thousand—more than a thousand less than
both Mifflin and Juniata can poll —and
these five thousand voters have an equal
voice and vote with the 20,000 voters of
Lancaster county, or any other Congres
sional district in Pennsylvania. Taking
into consideration the fact that large slave
holders have sons, overseers, and other
white dependents, we have no doubt more
than one district in the South is ruled by
a dozen men as despotically as the Emper
or of Russia rules his subjects.
THE DOG STORY.
What will the Bloodhounds do now ?
The following letter from Mr. Curtin,
giving a brief account of the dog affray
and its author, will show the means resor
ted to by the harpies of low-lifed locofoeo
ism. TV e should like to know what some
skulking jackall church members in this
town who took such an active part in circu
lating the foul libel, will think of them
selves when they read Mr. Cnrtin's state
ment :
BELLEFO.VTE, Oct. 1, 1860.
G. W. Elder, Esq.
My dear sir.—l hasten to reply to your
note. The truth is that Pickard hissed his
dog (a large animal) on some boys in the
street. My boy, five years old, was going in
to a store at the time the dog seized him by
the leg, and pulled him down five steps to the
pavement, and tore the entire mouthful out of
the calf of bis leg. The boy was confined to the
house for eight weeks. The Doctor thought
he would be a cripple for life, but fortunately
he is not. After the wound was dressed and
the blood stopped, at the request of my neigh
bors, I went out to kill or have the dog killed.
Pickard showed me the dog, and told
me to kill him. I attempted and failed. I
assure you on my veracity I did not use
the language in the paper, or any words
that could be construed into such an expres
sion.
I have ascertained that Pickard's letter was
written in Bellefonte, and he now says it is
not as he expressed himself.
Yours, truly,
A. G. CURTIN.
correspondent, in answer to the
Democrat's assertion that McNear is a far
mer says the only " farming" he ever done
that is known of in Wayne and Bratton,
was peddling Smith's lottery tickets, and
that a good many still remember the gilt
trinkets they got through him.
! BRECKINRIDGE AND DISUNION.
I Several weeks ago we published articles
charging that the leaders of the secession
convention were disunionists, when a wri
| ter in the Democrat, " F.," boldly ehal
! lenged us to name a disunionist. M e
I thought it a rather singular denial, hut at
once complied by naming Wm. L. \ancy
of Alabama. Last week the same writer
appears in the Democrat, and after giving
an extract from a speech hy \ ancy,
again denies that he is a disunionist, and
calls for proof. Here then is a letter
which tLis man Yancy wrote a few
months ago:
MONTGOMERY, June 15.
DEAR Slß:—Your kind favor of the 15th is
received. I hardly agree with you that a
general movement can be made that will clear
out the Augean stable. If the Democracy is
overthrown, it would result in giving place to
a greater and hungrier swarm of flies. The
remedy of the South is not in such a process;
it is in a diligent organization of her true
men for PROMPT RESISTANCE to the
next aggression. It must come in the nature
of things. No national power can save us ;
no sectional power can ever do it; but if we
do as our fathers did, organize committees of
safety all over the cotton States, and it is on
ly in them that we can hope for an effective
movement — loe shal! Jire the Southern heart,
instruct the Southern mind, give courage to
each other, and at the proper moment, hg one
organized, concerted action, we can precipitate
THE COTTON STATES INTO A REV
OLUTIOy. The idea has been shadowed
forth in the South by Mr. Ruffin, and has
been taken up and recommended in the Ad
vertiser (the Montgomery organ of Mr. Yan
cy) under the name of '* The League of Uni
ted Southerners," who, keeping up their old
party relations, will hold the Southern issues
paramount, and will influence parties, Legis
latures and Statesmen. I have no time to
enlarge but to suggest merely.
[Signed] W. L. YANCY.
To James S. Slaughter.
The authorship of this letter has been
admitted hy Yaney, and the only apology
he makes is that it was a private one. As
Treason is never hatched in public, we
leave it to readers of all parties whether
a more infamous proposition was ever sug
gested in this country since the days of
Benedict Arnold. Aaron Burr was tried
for treason for attempting to carry out such
a scheme as Yancy porposes, and John
Brown was hung for a similar offence in
Virginia, yet a patent democrat writes a
communication defending this traitor, and
a patent democratic paper publishes it in
a community where nine out of ten gener
al readeis have read Yancy's Slaughter
letter, and know besides that he was the
leading spirit in the secession movement
both at Charleston and Baltimore.
Fleming's Speech.
We had intended to review some of the
perversions of this Leconipton swindle
candidate made in the Town Hall on Fri
day evening last, but have little leisure or
| room to do so. The modus operandi adopt
j ed there will be sufficient to show what
I means were resorted to by this pettifogger.
Thus Hon. Ephraim Banks gets up and
states that he knew Mr. Fleming well and
that the most implicit confidence might
be placed in whatever he might state, and
thereupon Fleming gets up and in his de
preciation of Mr. Hale said that Speaker
Pennington had not appointed our member
on a single committee. Now did not Mr.
Banks, did not the two ministers of the
gospel present, (of whom the Democrat
has such a holy horror of mingling in poli
tics), and did not others there, know that
THIS STATEMENT WAS A LIE.
James T. Ilale was on the Committee on
Claims, an important one in every respect,
as the published list will show. The whole
tirade, delivered in a cracked voice, was of
a piece with this. He spoke in just such
terms as a paid attorney usually employs
in defending a bad cause and a bad client,
for while pretending great respect for Mr.
Hale, he insiduously connected him with
every low-lifed term used. At Pieedsville
we learn the same thing was repeated, and
there as here, not only created a strong
feeling of disgust among the friends of
Mr. Ilale, but induced more than one dem
ocrat to declare they would not vote for
such a villifier.
Another Martyr to Slavery.
A few weeks ago Rev. Mr. Bewley, a
Methodist clergyman WAS HUNG by a
democratic pro-slavery mob in Texas, because
he had said that he did not think slavery
was in accordance with the teachings of the
Christian religion ! The Methodists through
out the country are deeply stirred by this
horrible occurrence. Mr. Bewley was well
known as a peaceful and devoted evangelist.
His views of slavery were of the mildest char
acter, and he would be deemed the last man
to thrust his views offensively—mild and con
servative though they were—upon any com
munity. On his removal to Texas a few
months since, he carried testimonials of his
humility and devotion to his work. But he
was a Methodist! That, in Texas, is deemed
the equivalent of abolitionism ; and the devo
ted minister of Christ, guilty of no crime,
and on the merest suspicion that he cherished
offensive opinions, wn9 hung up like a mur
derer! Is it not the plain duty of every
christian and philanthropist to act with that
party which is pledged to confine so awful an
institution to its present limits ?

of advertisements this week.
LOCAL AFFAIRS.
GREAT SPEECH. —The following notes
'of a speech were found in Market street
on Friday evening last. Those who were
in the Town Hall can judge to whom they ;
belonged; our opinion is that tbey were
the property of (as the Clinton Democrat
and Lewistown Democrat call him^)
general bob fitming.
FELLER-CITIZENS.: —I don't mean to be be
hind the speakers as has spoken afore. lam
here to-night in order that you may hear to
night what I have to say to night. This is
truly a great and decidedly atremen/ws occa
sion. (Voice in the crowd—'Big thing.') I
stand before you (Voice, 'Betbigh on that') the
representative of the biggest, the most patri
otic and slambanganest party that ever had
an existence in this country or any other.
Would you eat codfish because you was
thirsty? would you drink sugar ee because you
was hunger-ee? No, sir ee! (Laughter.)
Then don't vote for the man that's agin me.
I don't want to be personal; but who is he ?
He ain't nobody nor nothin'. lie says that
his ancestors fit in the Revolution, but he
doesn't say on which side tbey fit. They tit
for King George and for a shilin' a day, and
they was the fust to run away from our brave
soldiers.
I don't wish to be personal, but I uiut say
that the man who is agin me is so tarnal mean
that he would punch a cent for the sake of
getting' the copper, and so eternal dishonest
that he would steal the puuch to do it with.
I scorn to bring up matters which occurred
in private life, else I would tell you that his
great grandfather, on his mother's side, wore
green spectacles ! Yes. feller citizens, green
spectacles ! (Cries of Shame!") — And now
this man asks for your votes! Where will you
find one who is so unworthy of your support?
Where will you find a greater mixture of vil
lainy and deceit, hypocracy and impudence
than in this same man ?
Feller-citizens, 1 have too good an opinion
of you to think for a minute this knave, this
trickster, will git more than one vote, and
that will be the one that he puts in himself.
His name is Hale : and how it will hale when
the election is over! (Laughter.) Disgraced
he will fly the country, and seeking oblivion,
take refuge among the savages of New Jer
sey.—(Applause.)
If you would have the American Eagle
soar so high that it would make your eyes
sore to look at it—if you would have the
British Lion put his tail atweeu his legs, 'leot
me. Perhaps some of you goes in for high tar
iff—if you does, vote for me: perhaps some
1 y° u oe9 ' n f <,r low tariff—if you does, vote
for me ; perhaps some of you don't go in for
no tariff at all—then vote forme, ffvou
would preserve the L nion from dissolution,
and the sanctity of you hen-roosts from in
trusion, send me to Congress, for if I git up
to make a speech, I'll bet my coat agin a dram
lean make the bobolitionists clear out the
capital, just as I used to empty the benches
when 1 was in the Legislature. Perhaps some
of you go in for niggers—-if you does, vote
for me ; perhaps some of you go agiu niggers
—if you does vote for me.
[Nota Lena—l'd like to introduce xnv
bleeding Kansas annegoat at this piut, but
my congressional conferee says there mought
be some moral man at the meeting, so that
I'll have to omit it—very sorry, indeed—for
I think it so rich.]
Feller citizens, who is Hale? Why nobodv
at all; he cant make a speech and never did. '
Now, send me to Congress and I'il tell you
what I'll do. I'll vote for the South all
through, right or wrong. If they say niggers 1
are better than white men, l'il say so too; if
they say niggers ought to be everywhere in
slavery, I'll go and buy one and take him to
Williamsport; if they say white mechanics
are the mud sills of society, I'll say so too; if
they say this country was tit for, bled for, and
died for that slavery might take the place of
free white men, I'll say so too—and then :
you see they 11 come and say "you're a clev
er fellow—we'll give you a tariff on cabbage !
and buckwheat, and wool!" As for iron. j
that be . I say we ought to buv where
we can buy cheapest, and if they can't make
iron cheap here they have no business to :
make it at all.
Who is Hale, who's agin me, a General.
| with white epaulette, and drill sargent to
; democracy ? Yes, who is he 7 Well, I'll tell
j you —Didn't ho voto for Biake's resolution
which proposed to appoint a committee to in
| quire into the expediency of giving freedom
| to every human being where Congress had
the power? Well he did—and aint every
man who votes for freedom an abolitionist ?
\\ ell he is. Besides it aint Democratic to vote
for freedom no how, whether Congress has
the power or not. Our Southern brethren
don't like the word, and I've been thinking
whether it wouldn't be a good move for the
democracy to strike it out of the dictionary
altogether. It don't sound well, and I think
when I get to Congress I'll have it done in
the House, and Bigler will attend to it in the
Senate. Bill is a great man down to Wash
ington, and just put me in position and I'll
be shot for a tailor if I don't be a grater.
Then didn't Hale vote for Sherman for
Speaker, and didn't our man Clark from Mis
souri put them to trouble by introducing the
Helper Book? I rather guess he did. Did
n't our folks talk big, and didn't this man
Hale and all the others set there doing noth
ing, only sometimes laughing at us ? Just
think of it I a member of Congress laughing
at real live democrats who own a power of
niggers—why its a shame. Feller-citizens,
send me to Congress, and I'll do nothing to
aggravate our Southern brethren or their nig- |
gers either—indeed I won't.
Feller-citizens, you have a nice town here, ;
and I'm glad to see that the whiskey is all
democratic, except that sold at one house. I
say I'm glad to see this, for, gentlemen, in
our region of pine slabs and stumps democ- ;
racy and whiskey are one and inseparable. ;
I don't know how it is here, but the omen's
good. I would like to say something about
lager for my dutch friends, but like my friend
Bill Bigler in his knees, its too weak for my
stomach—so it be .
[Nota Bena—My congressional conferee
thinks this paragraph won't do—says he's
temperance himself, never using anything
stronger than alchohol aod vitriol.]
Feller-citizens, I ax you to consider well
what you are about. Don't believe that the
democratic party ever changes, and you'll al- ;
ways be right. If the Supreme Court says
niggers are in the constitution, all you're got
to do is to believe it. You can talk about
anything you please except niggers, for that
is forbidden ground except in one way. You
can say as much in their favor as you choose,
but you must not say a word agio them!
That's democracy, and that's what the Decla
ration of Independence means, when ii says
all men are created equal; they forgot to put
in " except niggers;" and, by the by. as soon
as I get to Congress, I shall get my southern
tariff friends to amend the declaration so as
i
to read " All men are created equal, except
niggers and straightout Douglas men. ' I in
clude Douglas men (I hope there's none here)
because no man can be a good democrat who
believes in Douglas's equal rights in the ter
ritories, therefore they are no better than ah- ;
olitionists. and we all agree abolitionists are !
no better than niggers.
[Nota Lena —The deacon here will say
amen.]
I say then a nigger has as good a right in
the territories as yon have. Didn't his an
cestors fight for the territories in the revolu
tion—didn't they fight in the last war? Then
whv keep them out. as this man Hale wants
to. When these boboiitionists tell you nig
gers have souls, dou't believe it, for its not
democratic. My own private opinion is that
they were made for our benefit in this world,
just as yoH clients were made for the benefit
of us lawyers—i. e. that we might live off j
your labor. What'll be done with us and
the darkies in the next, I don't know, but if
you are to be our masters, and the darkies
masters of us all, I hope they'll treat us bet
ter than we do them.
Feller-citizens, I'd like to lend you a few t
hundred each, but railly my pockets are just
now in a kertlummuxed condition, so that I
can't well do it. But if any of you want a
\ or an X, or a note eudorsed, just call on my
congressional conferees, who I know will do
anything to oblige me. In conclusion, final
ly, and neverthclesslv, I would say as I did j
at Milheim, in Centre county, " God blessyou I
all, take a drain, and role the democratic tick I
el."
BRILLIANT LIGHT. —Mr. Browneil, agt.
for the sale of State and County Bights for j
Johnson's Self-Generating Gas Lamps, is

light, equal to the best gas, and so far as
we can judge of its construction avoids all j
danger of explosion from the fluid used.
