DEMOCRACY AS IT IS.
In Centre county .Mrs. Surratt is l>e
coming a saint, and the Watchman, in a
notice of Gen. Scott's death, mingles reb
els with Union generals as follows:
"His companions ir. arms, the parlici
pators in his glory, will feel that they
have lost a father, and -the tears of Me-
Clellan and Lee, Grant end -Johrrsben,

craven.
[ll Bedford county, the Gazette openly
, advocates the deserters' cause, and in its
iM<ue of June Id, after damning (.'urtin tv>
"eternal infamy" for signing the bill,
thus gnashes its t--.-th :
" But the iufamous enactment ju-t
signed by the Governor, will be a dead
letter upon the statute-book. Not a sin
gle man w ill be deprived of his rkriiis. in

State. 1 f tiietv are three honc-t men upon
that b neh, llime men who have not bar
tered their souls for political favor, three !
men who are not fools, cow arils, or knave-,
the Act of Congress afoiv-aid will be deci
ded K-rieonstitutionai. Hut if a majority 1
of the court should i' fooli-h. timid, or
knavish enough to declare that Acr of
Congrcs- eonstiiutiunal. then we say to
every man who is charged with being a •
"deserter," po—ess your soul in patience;
not a hair of your head shall be hurt". You :
shall still, in spite of legislative tyranny,
in spite of judicial wrong, in spite of the
machinations of the Devil himself, stand -
under the broad :egis of the Constitution, :
a citizen and a byal rot< r. Fear not The
time is no longer when the howling dor- !
vishes and roaring Dulls of Hesha-n of the
Abolition Disunion party, can influence,
Wit-h their bawli:ig aiul braving, the pow
er- that be. Be fo'-g "Lru-t in r-he !,< ;tl
and keeji your powder dry."
We don't know what deserters, Iwmrfv
jumpers and -kedaddlers would want with
" i>owder," and even if they keep it dry, :
who's afraid of (hoot ? But seriously, what
do soldiers think of the company they are
in? Do th''/ consider deserters, hountv
jumpers ami-kedaddlers t /,- > ir\ juals, tfxir
friends, thrir a--oeiat'-s ? Tic Bedford
' iazctte, one of the leading organ- of , :-.t
ent ' 'lymer democracy in this State, gives
them just as much credit for deserting as ;
it does faithful for enduring tin
trials, hard-hi] - and dangers of military

In Congress Mr. Harris of Maryland a
few weeks ago defined what his democra
cy wsis and is, and less than a prophet :
can foretell that if we again admit South
erners to rule i„ this country as tluy
did in years past, the infamous doctrine
of -eeossitm will become a cardinal creed
of the party just as slavery became its
bead and front under Polk, Pierce. Bu
chanan, and other satellites of Calhoun
ism. Harris s]rt>ke tlms :
"I f hen, sir, declare that iu principle I
now stand as I stood before the war: as I
-rood at tor war was declared; as r stood in
lie last < <ingress, when I received its
C-IOV. 1! ot censure; as 1 stood in prison and
- ,lKlt '"ternal instrument of tyran
ny. a court-martial. And as I stan-i i n
prmeijce so will l stand in practice when
ever occasion may roijuire.
"When I indicate that there has been
no change in my principles, this House ,
and bus countiy, possibly-for the avowal
ot ihem has neon attended by an unex
pected notority—may infer what mv posi

The York Olymer Club.
The Democrat as usual gives a whole
sale dnlal to the charge that the York
('lymerCluh was made upof bogus nanu s;
but the following, published in the York
papers of last week, gives a statement not
so easily denied:
We, the undersigned, whose nanu s
wore published in He- York Gazette and
York Democratic Press, of last week, as
uniting in a call for a meeting of honora
bly-discharged soldiers, to form a club in :
favor of the election of Meist'-r < 'lynier as
Governor, in connection wit li an endorse
meat of Andrew Johnson's " policy" and
other Copperhead humhuggery, hereby
assert that we never signed any sueli pa
per, nor authorized any person to sign it
for us, nor consented to the use of our
names, nor are we willing to support the
election of ( 'lynier, nor do any other of
the matters and things which the office
seekers concerned in getting up the list
published in the Gazette and Press, want
to accomplish. In plain words, our
names, if .subscribed by any one to that
list, are for<j< ri< s, and we do not intend
t ) support any candidate or party who,
while we were engaged in fighting the
battles of the Union against their dear
•Southern brethren, did all in their power
to disfranchise us ami prevent us from en
! joying the right of suffrage, denounced
the war as a failure, clamored for an ini
mediaLe suspension of arms, and were de
feated in ail their treacherous and unpa
triotic purposes by the votes of the sol
diers in the field and the loyal people at
home.

Our 1 ot'ntj /• 01/cs. —The correspondents
of this valuable magazine for boys and
gills seem to have thrown peculiar inter
est into all their contributions for the Ju

little leaders have delightfully perused
Elsie Teller's Children of the Flood, or
been deeply affected with the true story
of Carrie's Shipwreck. Mr. Neweomms j
Midsummer portrays a beautiful picture
of that warm hut in many respects de

tinued stories, all interesting. Carleton.

The Clymer Ciub and the Soldi era-
Messrs. Editors.—ln reading the pro
ceedings of tiie Clyiner-Johnson Club (a
most extraordinary combination of two
names) I was a good deal surprised tolind
in the re-solutions a fling at that true, tri
ed and noble soldier. General llartranft,
followed by r resolution couched in this
language:
iit*olcc<l, That *ve regret to find a few
of our honored military leaders denying
the purposes of the v.nr by approving of
the disunion policy of the radical parti
/.an> iii Congress, and that while we
cheerfully followed their lead in the bat
tles "for the Union," we peremptorily
re/use to follow them in their i/>**-unioii ;
course, believing is* we tlo. that the spirit
of hatred evinced by many toward a fa?t
--j e'i". toe, a common brotherhood, can re
sult in no eomiqon good, but prove detri
mental jo the best interests of the whole
: people.
If a soldier wrote that resolution, lie
must have had sonic curious ideas during
the war of what lie was lighting for; end
