, Centre County.
Centre County is r.ow better organized
than it ever has been. We have cheering
news from almost every township. Every
thing is beiog done that can be dons, and
victory is certain. Do not, however, pause
in the good work, friends, push forward and
make our majority as large as possible, lie
member, the greater the victory tbo greater
the glory. Candidates of Centre, your cho
sen leader is every day in the field, battling
with the enemy—you too must work-canvass
the county thoroughly and get out your
friends, Remember tho nomination is Lui
the beginning of tho end.
People of Centre cchuty, your favorite eon
is before you, a candidate for your suffrages.
Remember, Centre county has never bad a
Governor, it is high time her claims wore
rec. gnized. Col. Curtin, your own gifted
son, is out for that high and responsible of
fice, can you; will you, smother your native
pride by voting for Foster. No! no, you
cannot, we know you will not. To the polls
then, and vote for Lincoln, Harnlir, Curtin,
and our whole Cuun'y t'e'eet.
Go To the Fell?.
Republicans of Centre county, you have a
duty to perform. Toe election is approaching
and it is highly important that we should poll
every vote we can. Go to your neighbors,'alk
to them, and see to it that thiy rme right.—
Farmers, rig up your teams and wagons ar.d
haul your neighbor to tbe polls. Many are
old aDd feeble, the place of voting far dis
tant from their homes, and unkss you taka
them in your wagons and buggies they will
not vote at all. The evenings are getting
long and lonesome, make jt suit, if possible,
to spend a portion of them with those who
live near you. Exchange opinions with thorn
on tbe questions that now agitato our coun-.
try; reason with them, and then on the

Assetsoi has put you on the list. Go and
look over the list yourself and if your name
is not on it, have it put on immediately.—
Republicans, do not fail to attend to tbio uu
tiee or you may loose your vote.

r
A Deniagrogtie's bid for OfUco,
Throe weeks or m.ire since, Floury D. Fos<- j
ter mode a great flourish in challenging An- ;
die sr G. Curtin, to meet him before the peo- !
pie of Pennsylvania, and fairly discuss the,
leading ifSues involved in the present can
vass. The challenge was promptly accepted
by the Republican candidate, with an imme- :
diaie nffer of entering on the cuntest, and i
discussing all the issues. But Henry D '
Foster was not willing to meet a fearless man
on the stump, for the purpose of discussing j
the great political questions of the age, and i
therefore made after propositions restricting J
the debate and confining the discussion only 1
to such questions as he deemed proper and at !
issue. This cowardly excuse was made in
order tc escape the responsibility of the meet
ing; and in the meautimo Henry D. Foster
has been in training by William A, Stokes,
W, 11. Welsb and the custom bouse clique of
Philadelphia. The result of that training
was the production of a speech on Monday :
evening, in the city of Philadelphia, cstensi- I
bly originated by Henry D. Fobter, but in i
reality prepared, concocted and arranged by j
the gentlemen aforesaid and the clique here
in before named. As a literary effort, the
speech is a great failure. As a logical pro
duction, it is weak and unreliable. As a po
litical paper, it is full of misstatements and
perversions—aDd as a bid for the votes of the
people cf Pennsylvania, it is beneath the
character of the smallest politician in the
smallest village of the smallest State in the
Union. It has but one merit, and that con
sists in the audacity of its assertions—while
the billingsgate flourish of its assault on W.
11, Seward, proves Heury D. Foster's pan -
dering propensity to tbe lusts and prejudices
of ignorant people. He was compelled to
make this assault, to satisfy the southern
suf porters of his master, James Buchanan,
who still dreams that there is force in the
pass oris which he has so successfully wield
ed to impair the dignity of the Executive sta
tion, and divide an organization which ele
vated him to place anrd power.
Mr. Foster plants himself on the Reading
pla'form. By this he endorses the principle
of Douglas, and in spirit reiterates tho senti
ments of carjlessoess as to whether slavery
is voted up or down' He declares that the
people Lave a right to introduce or exclude
siavoty from territory, as they please—and
with this stale and flimsy declaration of a
right, knowing that all the machinery of
government under its present organization,
is an antagonism to the extension of slivery
from the territory. IleDry D. Foster comes
before the people of Pennsylvania as the ad
vocate of a sovereignty that is worthless, im
practicable and unreliable. He adopts this
mode of argument to silence and appease the
"ppuatter sovereign," and abridges the priv
ilege by placing i: within the restrictions of
the courts in order to nulify and cajole hta
slave-code sympathizers. These are happy
conclusions to arrive at, particularly for one
who stands between the fire of two hostile
factions, each differing distinctly on this
great question, and each determined to hold
him responsible to their exposition of this
modern Democratic faith.
On the question ot the Tariff, lienry D.
Foster is about as safe and reliable as James
K. Polk was claimed to be on the same eub*
ject. It is of course a game of brag, which
he will never be called on to verily in any
position to which he may hereafter be called.
But in the present state of the Democratic
party, with the history of their past decep
tion on the Tariff question, and the experi
ence of '43 befor3 the eyes of the American
people, it is not likely that Ilanrv D. Foster
can deceive them on this great act of legisla
tion fur tue benefit and protection of labor.
The history of legislation proves this asser
tion. The career and condition of tho pres
ent Democratic organization illustrate how
wfll it Las estimated the prosperity of the
country. In its iuin and dismemberment
we have an exhibition of that ruin which
Democratic legislation has portended for la
bor ever sioco it took possession of thepow
ers of the government, nor can lienry D. Fos
ter prove it to have done more, if he were to
continue in his professions of devotion to t'np
interests of labor until doomsday cast its
dark pall over the whole country.
There is literally nothing but sophistry
sod Catery in this entire speech. Blended
with tbo Irish blarney of Billy Stokes, it has
a twang of that deceitful coolness with which
Foster disposas of a responsibility when he
i< embcrraeeed, It may satisly the leaders
of these broken factions—it may appease the
Administration, and it may console Foster
himself—hut it will never satisfy tbe honest
voters of Pennsylvania. It is nothing more
ibsn a tribute to deinagogucism—a mean and
masterly effort to deceive ar.d delude houest
men in air hour of great dinger and a crisis
of immense importance.— llarrisburg Tele

For ike Centre Democrat
,f Tu sousand Folkes."
J, S. & J. J. BRISBIN,
GENTLEMEN: —
I see
of late, two or three articles in the Democrat
ic Watchman, which the editors of that sheet
would have us believe, ware written in Half
moon, but the author, I presume, dues not
live in this end of the County, in as much,
as the Democrats here say, that they do not
approve of tho article found in the Watchman
of the 23d of August, giving a description i f
a meeting of the Peoples Party at Storms -
town, alleging that they would neither be
guilty of stating such falsehoods, nor of such
vulgar personalities, as are found in that ar
ticle, consequently, we are driven to the con
elusion that these articles are Editorials, but
are not in the locality that we usually find
Editorials. But it spems that bis Excellency
J. S. Barnhart, is the bead and front of "that
sheet, and wants it distinctly understood,
that he does the Ilead-work for the Watch
man. I would not rob-biw of a particle of
the Glory. Then the conclusion is inevita
ble that be is the author of the article, Bjgn
ed "Old man and a siraight out American,"
and is in perfect keeping with the man. But
to the article. Mr. Barnhart says the meet
ing was a fizzle, that may be the opinion ot
the Editor, but he has given us no proof of
it. I deny it, and call for the proof; now, I
think it will be slow coming, unless be can
substitute slang tor truth, at which he is ex
cellent. But Smithy, why did you not pitch
into the arguments, or declarations of the
speaker, if you were describing a Political
meeting? But that would have taken argu
ment founded on facts, in place of low, con
temptible slang, and as you abound in the
latter and deal very slightly in the former,
it would have been inconvenient, consequent
ly you used of that which you have always
on hand, and are capable of manufacturing
at your pleasure. But one of your argu
ments, to prove tho meeting a failure, shows
the weight of yonr arguments, generally.—
You say Mr. Daniels said, there would be
''lu sousand Folkes ot it"—if Mr. Daniels
had said so, could you not have written it
correctly without mimicking his broken Eng
lish? Will the Germans refer to the article
referred to, and see whether the thrust is at
the qjeeting or at Mr. Daniels, because he
don't speak English as well as the Editor of
the Watchman, it is clear then, that it is not
Mr. Daniels' polities that the Editor of the
Watchman is quarrelling with, but delights
hiraself in mocking Mr. Daniels because he
don't speak as good English as the Editor.—
The Germans understand here, pretty gener
ally, that the Editor is the mocker of their
German brethren, and it wili be qufie as
likely to damage the prospects of the party
which keeps the mocking Editor in the front
of its furces, as that silly skull story that is
heralded all through the country will damage
the prospects of Col. Curtin. Put tu sousand
Folkes, and the skull story together, and see
if they mate. Oh consistent Smithy, if you
felt so much sympathy for the Germans cease
to mock them.
The next argument of Mr- Barnhart, to
prove the meeting a fizzle, is drawn from the
circumstances of tbe citizets of Stormstown,
at which he manifests great concern.—
"Stormstown owns two kettle Drums and one
fife. Well, what of that, you say that is de
scribing the meeting. Why Mr. Barnhart,
we haye some military spirit here, and how
could it be otherwise, v. hen your candidate for
che Assembly lives here, and is a military
man all oyer; aud how could we do withon
music, if we should make it on kettle drums ?
And we have no Band, so we must substitute
the Drums and file. But the Editor eught to
know that we are in very moderate circum
stances, aod cannot publish to the w arid that
we have twelve hundred acres of land in the
West. Now if that land was only in the
South, where "Capital owns Labor, and La
bor is.dishonorable, and Poverty a crime."
and the Editor looking after his lands, he
would have been spared the humiliation he
seems to have been subjected to, by the pres
ence of "bare headed, dirty and rageed chil
dren," which he speaks of. Now Mr. Barn
hart, if you had been in tbe South, those yal
j ler Girls, you speak of, being associated on
that day with tha white children, (which, by
I the way, is as false as the other srate.sment"
! you have made,) wou'd not have offended
1 your refined tastes ; the familiarity of Capi
tal with Labor, must have softened your
prejudices somewhat. But then you jay you
were describing a Political meeting iu a
Democratic Paper. I say not—it was trie
persons there, the ragged ones, dirty, bafe
headed children, and our Drums and fife.
Will you tell your readers that you were
describing the meeting, when you say uncle
Jimmy Chambers said " he was conscious
that he was President of the meeting, and
could see with a|great deal of clearness," &o.
Now did he say eo, say Smith", did ho ? if
he did not, then, that is what wo call a lie.
I say he did not, hut suppui-e ho had, why
single out certain words, or phrases if please,
made use of by that gentlemen, and state an
untruth—first that you may drag their phra
ses in to make a thrust at Mr. Chambers.—
Was that necessary either to describe the
meeting or prove it a fizzle ? Why this per
sonal abuse ? It has become very difficult in
this end of the county, and especially in this
town, to talk sufficiently plain. If there
should he a little of the German accent about
our speech then our English don't come up
to your standard, and then our words will
appear in your advertising sheet like the
hand-writiDg on the wall, I presume you
dislike our votes as much, or more than our
" kettle drums, bare headed, dirty, ragged
children. Negroes don't vote here, in fact
we have none at a'l, as we can't own labor,
but tbe parents of these bare headed, bare
footed and dirty children do, and some of the
" tu eousand" kind, and clerks, if the name
is not objectionable to the editors of tho
Watchman, in place of counter hoppers.
But Mr. Barnhart, the gentleman for
whom your sympathies have become so much
enlisted so recently, had to come in for a
share of personal abuse. For what? We are
told in ordtr that tbe meeting might be de
scribed ; but then your sympaties were not
aroused." What do you say in that article of
McWilliams' ? " lie got on the stand, made
a polite bow, said Fellow citizens, coughed
once or twice, said Fellow citizens, coughed
again, said fellow citizens, I was going to tell
you an anecdote about a very wicked Scotch
man but 1 have furgotten it." Now will your
fxcellency say this is true? Come now, bo
honest. Was it necessnry to publish that
lie to describe the meeting at Stormstown ?
Now I say that is as false as the other state
ments made. You had no tears to shed for
Mr. McWilliams then, and your weeping
eyes could be dried without trouble. I pra-
Bume as tfiose tears may have been crocodile
tears. Now don't lay Mr. McWilliams'de
feat to heart so much, If you can find no
other remedy look at the coughing artie e
and that may afford relief. But why change
the tone of your paper so soon ? please ex
plain. I think I can guess ; hut you are
mistaken in the man. But the editor seys in
his second article, " Adam the law maker
arrived, and by Tuesday evening h had fix
ed in his mind that he would be tbe next
Prothor.otary for Centre Co." Now, friend
Barnhart, I suppose you must havo been
dreaming over your own defeat for that of
fice, as Adam never had any aspirations in
that direction. I think that Mr. Weaver,
by the help of eno S.itn, made the landing
that time, but supposed the thing was forgot
ten. And now, my excellent friend, in the
hour of your unparalled prosperity don't for
get that things change a little, end capital
may not own labor.
In conclusion we would advise you to drop
the.t dog story about Col. Curtin, for we live
in a land where dogs bite and there is some
danger, if the thing is kept up, of one ofyour
candidates beiog bitten.
TIIE YOUNG MAN
HAI.FMOON Sept.. 1860.
For the Centre Democrat.
The Whig party in 1810, in National Con
vention, nominated Gen. Harrison for Pres
ident, and John Tyler for Yice President. —
They were presented to the people for their
support without any platform of principles.
And to guard against the General commit
ting himself upon any of the issues involved
in the contest, a committee was appointed to
take charge of his correspondence, who pro
claimed tu tho American people " that he
had no piiuoipb-s for the public eye." In
that campaign this was the text of all Dem
ocratic speakers who were not sparing of
their denunciations of the Whig party as the
" no principle .party," and charged them
with keeping their principles opt of view for
the purpose of deceiving the people. And
they must certainly did succeed by accommo
dating themselves to the v rsified views, feel
ings and interests of different localities and
sections of the country. But they " paid
dear for the whistle," Never was a lesson
taught more severe, nor a punishmeut more
richly deserved, than the party received from
John Tyler in bis administration of the gov
ernment.
But what Democrat, in that diy, expect
ed, or had tho remotest idea, that ever the
time-honored party of Jefferson, the father of
Democracy, would become so demoralized as
to be found struggling fur existence p.gainst
tho power of an administration of its own
creation. Strange and unexpected as such a
spectacle may he, yet we ba7e it now pre
sented to our view. The vital principle ol
Democracy, that the peouie are sovereign,
capable of self-government, is ignored by
that portion of rbe Democratic party now un
der the lead of J-N Buchanan,Yancey, Illiott,
Orr, and oiher disuniouists of tho South who
are supporting Breckinridge and Lane. Not
only wou ; d they withhold from the people of
the Teiri.ories the right to govern tnem
selves, but they refuse to submit to the voice
cf the people as expressed by their Repro
tatiyes in National Convention, because a
majority of the party, by their Representa
tives, refuse to abandon principles to which
it is solemnly pledged, and adopt others that
are hoisted to the views and feelings of a
large portion of the party, they practically
deny the right of the majority to rule, aud in
order to cover over their infamy, and in the
event of being defeated and disgraced, they
dssirs that none shall escape untarnished
And hence, with that independence that on
ly belongs to bo'.d offenders, they ask those
who adhere to the political creed ihfcy have
abandoned for the time being, to lay aside
principles and join them in supporting men
for office who have " no principles for the
public eye," hut privately are " ail things
unto all men." A comfortable position, tru
ly, fur honest men. Mr. Blair, who has
been bargaining for the Senate for several
years past, and now considers he has the
nomination for the next term secured, if Dr.
Foster or Sheriff Halljdon't interfere to dis
turb it, may cry fusion, Rird. proscribe those
who have the honesty to resist it. Yes, ho
may recommend the Cressor bargain us
more open and dignified than his recent ar
rangement which he thinks secures to him
the Senatorial nomination. But it is to be
feared that both will terminate in disgrace
to him aDd all concerned in the unholy trans
actions.
We have a very beautiful illustration of
how the fusion scheme works in the case of
Gen. Foster. lie is reported as having made
a strong Popular Sovereignty ppeech lateij
[at Somerset. The Pciinsi/'vanian, a dis
union .and Breckinridge paper, says that
Gen. Foster was in the city ar.d was inter
rogated as to the speech, and denied that he
ever uttered such a speech.
Gen. Fleming, the candidate for Congress,
is.now busily engaged in soliciting votes.—
Heretofore he has been the supporter of the
Administration at Washington, and the
i measures that have distracted and disgraced
j -the Democratic party. Now he is for Dou
glas and non-intervention, or for Breckin
ridge and intervention, as it may suit the
person to whom he talks. Is this Democra
cy ? Surely net the Jeffcrsonian—not the
Democracy of our fathers.
If the spirit of Jackson was allowed to re
turn to this world of soirows and "irrepres
sible conflicts," and put in its old mortality,
these Southern disunionists, and Northern
parasites, would be denounced in language
that would make them tremble like Felix
when Paul reasoned of temperance, right
! eousness and judgment to come.
Fusion! Yes, fusion, and "no good Dou
glas man can oppose fusion," says Blair, the
celebrated political cotractor, and fusion,
reiterate the hightened and dignified Editors
of the Democratic Watchman, and tearing
that honest supporters of Douglas would not
have discernment sufficient to detect the in
aonjfitfency and wickedness of fusion, thiy
pubdhed the following, which I take from
''their issue of the 28th of August:—
"Mr. Douglas is traversing the country*
especially in the Nrtth and East, dosing out
the panacea ot "squatter sovereignty" as a
remedy for all our ills appealing to the "high
er law," and eudeavoring, with the magic of
his words and his presence; to cajole the peo
ple to his support. In this he will misera
bly fail. In the exalted position of Presi
dent of these United States, the people will
exact something more than the qualities of a
traveling mountebank. Mr. Douglas in his
recent letter, has averred that his objecc was
to take the question ol slavery out of the halls
of UoDgreas ; and yet during his whole Ad
ministration he has kept up the slavery agi
tation with a persistency and fiercentss
amounting almost to insanity. It has paus
ed him to neglect every other duty in Con
gress except the defence of his consistency
and the advocacy of his views in regard to
slavery. He has been remarkable for his fa
cility in dodging votes, and wnen he aid
vote for his votes with the Republicans.—
With that party not only did he vote on the
Lecomptou question, but on most incidental
questions, in total inconsistency with his for
mer votes.'
The friends of tba "Little Giant" should
thank the Editors of the Watchman for ma
king it known that he voted against the Le
compton Swindle. About 3000 democratic
voters of this Congressional District, expres
sed their disapprobation of Allison White's
vote on that question, in a vray that he felt
and understood. And I presume they are
ready to let Gen. Fleming know thaf'strad
ling the crack" won't save him. Tbey will
expect an open and candid avowal of his sens
timents. If Lycoming is to furnish us with
all the Congressional Candidates for Con
gress and the Senate, we have a right to de
mand that they be men of principle, honor
able men, because we havo hypocrites enough
of our own, without having any saddled up
on us from abroad. We expect her to
ply us every ten years with a Census taker,
for that we will not require more than tho
ordinary abilities of a good accountant.—
But for Congress and the Senate, we do in
sist on you to give us you: bast men—men
wfct have principles for-the public eye. If
Gen. Fleming adheres to the doctrine r.f the
Kansas and Nebraska bill, as he and a!'
other democrats understood it in 18f>0, and
is opposed to fusion with bolters and aecedars
from the regular organization, let. us know
it, speak out General, and then we can sttn
t.ort you and maintain our manhood and self
Aspect. Mora anon.
A DEMOCRAT. .
Where is Foster ?
This question still remains without a sat
isfactory solution. When the General was
finally compelled to announce his willing
ness to meet Col. Cut-tin on the stump, we,
in common with others, thought that his po
sition .would speedily be dtflued. We were
mistaken.
On the 11 ch ult., Mr. Foster made a speech
io Somerset, in which he took the ground
" that Congress had no right to legislate for
the Territories on the subject of Siavery,"
etc. This speech was reported to Forney's
Press, aad was very satisfactory to 'he Dou
glas men. A few days after, Mr. Foster be
ing iu Philadelphia, found himself at log
gerheada'vith the administration men there;
upon which he deniid the correctness of his
Son trset speech as reporred to the Press.—
The Pennsylcaniuii came cut with the follow-
mg:
'Gen. footer has ajrived In this city, and
we find, efpon inquiry, thar, just as we rs
peered, the statements of the ietter are utter
ly destitute of truth, no si. o i remarks having:
been made by him. either there or elsewhere.'
The I'ress, in reply, proved the correctness
of its report, and after administering a little
advice tu Mr. Foster, requests him to define
his position, and concludes its article with
the following:
"The eainest friends of Judge Douglas,
however they may deplore Gen. Foster s
weakness in constantly consulting with the
enemies of that illustrious statesman, g'adly
greeted his Somerset speech in favor of the
great p; inciple of self G ivernmeut; and they
stood, and stand, ready tn vote for him on
that a\ jwal. But there must be no marked
cards, no loaded dice, in this great game.—
Gin. Foster cannot run on two platforms
lie eanaot real: * a speech in Somerset and
disavow it in Fniladelphia. lie cannot set
the tens of thousands of votes of the Douglas
by catering for the contemptible
Breckinridge 'minority. His silence might
have carried him through ; but when he will
talk it must not be with a forged tongue,—
Does he stand by his Somerset speech or
does he repudiate it ? This is tle question,
lie must answer it or the people will do it
for him in October."
What a contrast exists between the course
of Mr. Foster and the manly course of A. G.
Curtin.- We da not wonder that the people
are everywhere deciding to go for the Peo
ple's candidate. Mr. Foster's case is already
decided. —.Jersey ■ Shore Vedette.
The Locofooos are pediing round a vile
slander on Col. CURTIN, in which they al-
Ipge that he once spoke of the Germans as
•'double skulled Dutch." Notwithstanding
this thing has ben winned home to them by
a public statement made by a German c ient
of 31 r. Curtin's, who says the phrase was
used by hint (the German) in Curtin's office,
and in reference to another with whom he
had a law suit: we say that although this lie
has been nailed, Locofocos are etill bandy
ing it about to present any German who may
find it to the inte'st of the laboring classes
to do so, from votjng for ANDREW G. CUR
TIN. These wou'd b%, at election times, the
special friends of the Germans, had bettor
diop such insinuations. Mr. FOSTER is. just
as guilty of "slandering the Dutch" in cool
blood as anybody eisg, and a little more HO.
If it were waile, we might refer to
what we haye beard of his sneering at our
German friends, as, in his "Sunday morning
dishabille,'i be viewed-them entering their
church just opposite. In short, if. Foster's
friends don't want a Volume of rich expos
ures made about his private affairs and pen
cuniary transactions, ( # the proof of which is
all on baDd,) they had better stop elundering
Curtin. We Incw no one dwelling it#a
more tender gjass-house than Foster.-

A Rumored Political Bargain.
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin says
that an arrangement was consummated a
nigbtor two ago, by which the Bell-Everett
party in that city is to be sold out to the De
mocracy. The leaders of the Bellites, Doug'
1 twites and Breckinridgers held a meeting
and perfected the terms of the sale, They are
as follows: —The Bell and Everette city tick
et is to be supported, both branches of the
Democracy dropping their candidates to
that end. Mr, Brodhead, the Democratic
candidate for congress in tho Second Dis
trict. is to be slaughtered, and Henry M.
Fuller, the Bell and Everett candidate lor
the same position, is to be supported by the
fusi'lnists. In return for all this the Bell
and Evrretters are to support (Jen. Foster
for Govenor, and also the regular Democrat
ic nominees f>r Congress in the First. Third,
Fourth and Fifth Districts. The Presiden
tial question is to be left open until after tbe
second Tuesday in October.
Tois is a very nice arrangement; but we
hardly think it will amonnt to much. What
ever leade s may do, voters will not permit
themselves to bs sold like cattle, it tbey
Lave any manhood left.

A WORD TO THE PUBLIC. -
Whereas the Spring
Creek Woolen Manufactory, during the present
season, has been patronized to the lull extent of
its producing abilities, and in anticipation of a
still greater patronage tho coming sea-son, the
proprietors have been induced to add more now
machinery of the very latest improvements. This
machinery will facilitate our operations very much
and at the same timo will improve the real value
of out cloths at least ten per sent, while our pri
ces shall remain as heretofore ; it being our ambi
tion to build up a reputation for this establish
mon , that will add all things thereto. From the
facts here n set forth we confidently believe that
wool growers and all othor g r od peojle can now
deal with us very tiuch to their own advantage.--
While there are many things alike in business of
this kind, there is also much that is different. A
word to the wise is sufficient Give us a call and
satisfy yourselves that this is the place the peoa
pie get the worth of their money.
