for him for ,that very reason- And yet you
clSim to be the "peculiar friends" of this
church. Continue to bo their friends, gen
i Keener), we do not and cannot expect to gets
dftheir votes. But carry out your professions
I and cease to act the hypocrite with these men,
j What has always been a wonder to us is,
' that Catholic Democrats will vote for Pres
byterian, Lutherean, Methodist or Piotest
j ai.t Democrats of any kind, when these same
I Democrats will not allow Mr. Schnoll, or any
: other Catholic, io have a nomination, or
! voto for them for any office. Tho Know-
Nothing* - , like men, said they would not sup
port a Catholic for any office of honor, trust
ior profit. The Democratic party, in their
' hypocritical way, condemned us for assert
ing those doctrines, while practically they
| carried out the very Fame doctrine. Again
wo Fay, editors of tho Watchman, act like
; men, and cease to play the hvpocrite and
; sycophant with this class of your party.

Keep ii bafaro the People,
i That while we have heretofcro treated Gen.
Foster as a gentleman, that the Wa'chman
Lhas acted tho blackguard in publishing tho
i Double Skull story when they knew that it
was false. Now, therefore,-know ye all men
| that while we will not publish anything
i against Gen. Foster but what we know to bo
true, that tho Watchman, not we, arc co
! blame, rind in consideration of these facts,
j we, first assert that the man who asserts that
: Col. Curtin said that a "Dutchman has two
j skulls,' is a notorious liar, scoundrel and vil
j lian, and we cau prove him such in any
: Court of record in Contro County, or in tho
j State of Pennsylvania. No man, not even
Col. Curtins' worst enemies, beheye Lini to
i bo a fopl, asd no man but a fool would make
such an assertion. Col. Curtin has been the
particularJhi verito of tho Germans of Centre
Cftfuty, and has giyen more legal advice, for
nothings and done more for the German pop
ulation of Centre couuty, than any other law
yer TO the County.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
i That Gen. Henry D. Foster is not a states
-1 man, is not considered as such by tho lead
ers of his own party, and if they would have
| had any hope of success, Gen. Foster never
would have beeD the nominee of his party for
; Gubernatorial honors,
j KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
That Henry D. Foster is in the hands, and is
| the pliant tool of, the same corrupt clique
! that has controlled the politics of this State
I for years, and under whoso misrule and cor
| rupiion the State taxes hayc become a bur
den ton heavy to be borne.
I KKLD lji' PEOPLE,
' That Henry D. Foster, while a social geatle
' man, is a spendthrift, knows nothing of the
| value cf money, has done what Col. Curtin
scorn to do, to wit: squandered, while
! a member of (JtongsfiKr his wife's fortune, am
j plo though it were.
! KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
That Gen. Foster has not the power to say
| Yes ! when ho should say if, or No ! when
I it would bo to his interest to say it. That ho
j has no back-bone, in other words, no mind of
his own—the suppliant pliant tool cf a set of
I politicians who havo ruled this State for
j years, to its detriment and its ruin. lie will
|be as cloy in tho hands of tho potter —as wax
| before the fire—so be, in the bands oi the
j corrupt politicians of tise Democratic party
I in this State, will be moulded to suit their
j own purposes, their own wicked and selfish
I designs.
j KEEP IT BEFORE TIIE PEOPLE,
That ail persons, irrespective of futy, who
| believe it: die prosporiiy of Pennsylvania—
j who are in favor of a reduction of taxes—who
i are honestly opposed to the extension of sla
| very into Free Territory—who are in :a*or
! of Free Homesteads for free working men—
j who aro in favor of Protection to American
; Labor—will vote for Col. A. G. Curtin, Cen

Tho Tariff Party.
j The leading question in the campaign, and
: tho one which most interests tho working
I meu, 13 tho Tariff. The leaders of both par
| ties claim to bo tariff men, but are they
both sincere, in their professions? We
! think not, and we base our assertion on the
: history of the past, which furnishes evidence
! clear, and abundant, that the democratic
; party, is not now, nor never was in favor of
: protection ta our home industry. In
' Jas. K. Polk, and Geo. M. Dallas, were elec
ted by ths popular cry, that Polk was a bet
ter tariff man, than Clay. Thousands be
lieved tho delusion, and pemiitted themselves
to he cheated out of th-.-ir vote 3. How far
Polk, was a better tariff man than Clay, the
' administration attest. He repealed the tar
; iff of 42 and used the whole influence of his
patronage to inaugurate a freo trado policy.
Dallas, when th 9 vote stood tie in the Cena'e,
gaye the casting vote against tho tariff, and
thus struck a death blow at the interests of
; his own State. When he was about to cast
his vote. Senator Cameron hungup in front of
the Vice Presidents chair, a largo poster,
upon which, was blazoned, polk, Dallas and
1 ; tho Tariff, hut with these popular maxims,
I by which ho had secured his election, staring
} Lim full in tho face, he voted square against
j protection to his country, and in direct oppo
, sit ion to the wishes of the people, and worst
of all, in direct opposition io tho pledges ho
had made the people previous to his election.
We have heard democratic leaders say, their
party was always in favor of a tariff. If that
is true, why did they not long ago enact .a
tariff lav,-. They make it their boast that
: they have bad poscssion of the government,
i with but slight interruptions, for tho last 20
I years, then when they had the power why
I did they not protect our homo industry? Did
* they ever pass a siDgio tariff law? No ! not
i one. On tho contrary, they have repeal
!ed no less than three. After all this, will
1 any ono trust these democrat,-? Will any one
; believe them when they say they are in favor
|of protection ? Wo, for one, cannot, but we
| fear many will again listen to the syren
1 song and fondly believe it true. Last win
i ter, vsho defeated the Morrill tariff Dill? —
| The Democrats in the Senate. Voters, work
ing men, who are are in favor of a tariff, he
( not deceived again. You will never get
| protection to labor by electing a democratic
; President and a Democratic House of Cou
| gress. If you really desire a tariff elect Lin
j coin and give us a Bepublicon Congress, and
j we will give you a tariff.
Keep it Before the People.
That every vote cast for Henry D. Foster,
: at the State election, is a vote to sustain and
1 | endorse tbs present wretched National Ad
-1 j ministration !
1 ; That every vote cast for Henry D. Foster,
j is a vote iu favor 01" tho spread of Human
' j Slavery!
That every vote cast for Henry D. Foster,
ia a 7oto against tho homestead lib!!
That every vote cast for Henry D. Foster,
io a rots oraw ig n of
Industry! f
That every vote cast for Ilenry D. Foster,
is a vote approving "of the rsfmerM) which
S have been committed during the past three
or four years by Buchanan and his coadju
tors upon tho public Treasury !
That every vote cast for Henry D, Foster.
1 is a vote endorsing the Dred Se.itt decision
which says that the Constitution carries
J Slavery into every Territory of this I'nioa !
! That every vote caet for Ilonry I), Foster,
i is an iudireot vote for JOB LANE for the
; | Presidency 1
1 Freemen, remember these things when
i you come to deposit your ballots.
HflMEiilßElv!
That the H)/i6-ocr.itic candidate for Gov-
I cnor, Ilenry D. Foster, stands upon a plat
! form which endorsee the administration of
1 James Buchanan as "eminently pure, patriot*
j ic, conservative and just' This is tho plat
i form of tho "democratic" party of Pennsyl
vania. No man who has any respect for
' himself or bis country can vote for Foster
j and thu3 give Lis approval to Buchanan's
! villianies.
j i-ook at the Kccci'd.
j Who voted against the tariff? The Demo
; crats in Congress. Who votc-I to extend Shi"
j very into Kansas? The Democrats in Con
pgr ess. Who voted ir. favor ui sustaining Po.
j lygamy in L tab ? The Democrats in C-JU
gress. Who voted in favor of a slave code
| for New Mexico? The Democrats in Cong
' j less. Who voted against the free Homestead
"iBill? The Democrats in Congress.
' j They are in favor of Slavery. They are
: opposed to protection. They are in favor of
" Polygamy in Utah. They era opposed to
• j giving homes to tho j:oor and Homeless.—
2 j Honest democrats, can you, will you, vote
' ! with such a party.
| Ths Ticket.
| Our county ticket givos general satisfae
, tion, which is certain,y a matter of great dc
• ; light to every 000 who has at heart the suc
cess of our party in October. We waited,
| with anxious impatience, the action of tho
j j August Convention, and now that it is over
j we say it c-ou!d not L;.vo dono its work bct
f tex. The ticket has strengthened Ual. Cur
tin tme hundred votes in Centre county.—•
Every man on it is wbrtbj, anil will receive
his entire party vote* There need he po
heart burnings, no ngrets oyer that ticket.-
9 It is just the oiia to nn "?n Centre r 's!fnH,

j he is in favor of Popular Sovereignty, or a
Slave Code for the Territories ? Gen. Foster
is to all intents aud purposes a mum Candi*

Come with us, and vote for

Passing Strange,
1 That tho Democratic party in this county
cannot nominate a ticket, without placing
i upon it, mc-n who were Know Nothings in
I 1854 and '55, willing to desert the Democra
cy when they thought the party was hope
i lessly ruined, but of whom, the doubfe-head
' ed Watchman now speaks "as unexoeptiona
-1 hie men," and says "the whole ticket could
; not have been more satisfactory to the peo
! pie." It says further, "They are all- good
; men, faithful and zealous advocates of the
! Democratic party." Why do you, Col. See
i Jy, after proving yourself so inconsistent, aa
1 to associate with yourself Mr. Barnhart, who
| was a Know Nothing in 1854, and after pla-
I cing, at least one, and we think, two men, cn
your ticket who belonged to the same orga
! iiization, still continue to abuse that Patri
; otic OitPER ? After abusing the Knew
Nothings, as you have done, bow can yen,
how can your party, consistently, voto for a
man upon your own ticket, v.ho belonged to
1 them ? Oh consistency, truly, thou art a
jewel!
Messrs. Barnhart and Secly, please tell 0 , |
I how many "traitors," from the Know Noth- j
f ing party, you have upon your ticket, or for
. ever hold your peace, and cease to abuse, :
1: malign and slander, that organization. Wo !

Mho vill use such language when
