A Grand American Republican Miss Meeting will be held at Centre Hall on Fri day Evening the 2nd of Novembei. The Wide-Awakes of Bellefonte, Milesburg Cur- ; tin's Works, Valentines works, lleela and other places will be piesenr. Gov. Curtiu Hon. James T. Hale, Col. W. W. Brown, Msj. James S. Brisbin, James F. Riddle, i John 11. Stover aud others will address the meeting. Wide Awakes, American Republicans of Centre, you bayo done nobly. You have achieved a glorious victory. You have elected vour own noble ehauipiun, Col. A. Curtin, to the Gubernato rial chair of the Kevstone State* You have elected Wm. C. Dunoan, Geo. Alexander, John T. Johnston, Wm. Longwell, Jno. Mc- Calmont, James C. Williams and Jonathan Eccerd ; but you have done more, you have succeeded in re-electing the " noblest Ro man of them all," the Hon. James T. Hale. In a poll of Six Thousand Votes, the largest by nearly EIGHT HUNDRED VOTES ever polled in the county, yju have elected your whole county ticket, your Congressmen acd jour*Goveroor. But do we merely rejnice ever the success of our ticket? This itself would have been glory enough for one day. We have done more. In the elevation of good American Republicans to office, Centre county and the State of Pennsylvania have declared that thsy are most emphatically op posed to the Alminiftratioo of James Bu chanan, opposed to the further extension of Slavery, in favor of Protection to American Industry, and in favor of FREE HOMES FOR FREE WHITE MEN. These are the principles advocated by Jrfferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackson, by Henry Cloy, Daniel Webster, Thomas 11. Benton, and by all the able, sagacious and far-seeing Statesmen of this great and free nation. They have tri umphed, as truth ever will triumph, and be cause we have had TRUTH and JUSTICE on our side, our friends have been elevated to office, and our party made jubilant and victorious. For six long years we have worked and pa tiently waited this most happy consumation. We knew that ERROR could not always tri umph over RIGHT. We Lad faith in our cause. We had hope for the future because vrt fully believed that, •' Truth orushed toearih wil! rise again, The eternal years of God are hers ; While error wounded wriihs in pain And dies amidst her worsoippera." TRUTH, RIGHT and JUSTICE have triumphed. We feel proud of our victory. We have tru ly great reason to be jubilant and to rend the air with the victorious shouts of FreemeD.— But whils we are rejoicing over the success af our MEN and PRINCIPLES let usjot forget that the hour of victory is the proper time to show our opponents that we can afford to be magnanimous. Let us in no instance aouuJ the teelings of those who honestly differ with us in their political opinions. Let us treat them os friends, as brethren of the same great American family, and while we believe them in error let us treat tbesn kindly and employ all our powers of logic to convince them and win them over to our side. We all have good and true friends in the Democratic party. We believe that party ben deserted all its ancient principles and the liberty-lov ing sentiments which twentv-five years ago made it the puny of the people. Let us, therefore, use all rur influence in convincing these Democratic Irieuds that they are wrong, nud that our principles are the same immor tal truths first advocated by a Washington and a Jefferson, and more recently, by the illustrious Clay. Vituperatior, slander and bitterness will never win friends to any cause ; but mild persuasive words and sound arguments can never fail to win friends and votaries to the side of justice and the rights of man. TIIIRTY-TWO THOUSAND AND NINE TY-TWO majority for Col. Curtin in the State, and SIXTEEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SIX for Hon. Jas. T. Hale in this Congressional District are the very strongest evidences of the truth of what we have above asserted. We believe that the great Amer ican Republican party is the only conserva tive in this country, the only party that can perpetuate the Union of the States and the principles advocated by it, the only . principles which can give peace, prosperity and] happiness 'o tbo whole country. The glorious tidings from Vermont, Maine. Indß ara, and the result in our own State, all go to prove that a large majority of our freedom loving citizens believe upon this point just y as we do. This is not only a consolation but pleasure. Now friends will we be satisfied with the past ? Will we fold our arms axd do cotbing ia n re for the jadvanoehaent ard asoendency of our principles? Can the glorious victory achieved by us on the 9th inst., cause us to forget ''Honest Old Abe Lincoln and Hanni bal Hamlin on the 6th day of next Novem ber ? Remember friends that eternal Vigi lance is the price of Liberty, and if you would achieve the greatest victory in behalf of liberty the warld ever knew or history re corded, go to the polls every man of you and vote for Lincoln and Hamlin. See that your neighbors are out. Let not a single voter remain at home on that day. See that the youogmen the pride of the present, the hope of the future, are out, and that they vote in favor of freedom, of free labor and Protec tion to American industry. Arouse to ac tion onr, and all. Follow Wide-Awakes be up and doiDg : very much depends upon you. Therefore gird on your armcr, let your lamps be trimmed and brightly burning, from this time, until you Lear the news that "Old Abe'* has been elected, and Freedom victorious.— Sleep not upon the watch towers. Let not the enemy steal a march upon us, or in the hour of our exultation spread a gloom over buoyant spirits, by wresting from our grasp, the promised victory—the jewel of Liberty, to be secured and perpetuated by the success and final triumph of Republican princip'es on the 6ib day of November next. What we did do on the Second Tuesday of Octobei.wo can do on the first Tuesday of November, if we are only true to ourselves, and to our principles. If you say the word> we can give oDe thousand majority in this, county for Old Abe. Shall we Jo it? Will we do it ? Let us try. The Great Result. While the Old World trembles with the throes of incipient revolution, whereof devas tation and bloodshed are inevitable concom itants, says the New York Tribune, our OWD more favored land is passing through a cor responding crisis in a manner which she may proudly claim as her own. Within the last forty-eight hours, our streets have reverber ated to the crash of dynasty, yet no one has suffered or fo-ared bodily harm, and the show of anxious or melancholy faces is limited to a few office holders. Gladness beams from a million eyes, aDd joy glows in the popular heart, for it is felt and known that our peace ful convulsion bodes simply that replacement of the bad by the better which is the inevi table condition of Human Progress and the manifestation of a genuine National life- It was every way fit that PENNSYLVANIA and INDIANA, clasping hands across OHIO, should claim and ecjoy the proud distinction of inaugurating the National renovation. In the first place, those two States justly share between them the honor of having made Abraham Lincoln our standard-bearer in the momentous contest now so near its clearly foreshadowed termination. Indiana —which had previously inclined to and was confi dently aud reasonably counted on for Judge Bates—was the first State at Chicago to take her place firmly and ardently beside Illinois in supporting Mr. Lincoln's pretensions, and thenceforth her delegation was most vehe ment and untiring in commending her new choice. Pennsylvania, which, unlike Indi ana, had a candidate of her own hesitated and debated long; but, when pressed at length to say decisively, " In case you can not have your own candidate, who is your next choice?" she, too, designated Mr. Lin coln ; and her decision, in effect, impelled that of the Convention. All wary politicians were aware, before 1860, how crushing is the weight wherewith the October Elections fall upon the party which they declare against in the very agooy of a Presidential canvass ; and when Pennsylvania and Indiana said to the Convention, " give us Lincoln for Presi dent, and you shall bear Republican thun der from us in October 1" their appeal could hardly be resisted, even had the convention been stubbornly hostile to their preference. Moreover, the choice of their Delegations was heartily seconded by that of their re* spective candidates for Governor, Col. Cur* tin and Gen. Lane, who were both on the ground, and who—their personal fate being at stake—could not be suspected of favoring another than he who was, in their judgement, the very strongest man. How well founded was that judgement, the shouts of Two Mill ions of Republican voters are now proclaim* ing. It was especially desirable that Pennsyl vania should take tbat position at the head of the Republican array which she so nobly justified on Tuesday. There never was im agined more conclusively an answer than she has furnished to all the wretched drivel of the day about " Fanaticism," " Nigger Equality," " Putting the negro above the white man," &c., &c. The whole eouDtry does know Pennsylvania as an eminently so ber, conservative, Union-loving State of whose Fhe Hundred Thousand Voters not Fifty Thousand have any desire to interfere in aDy way with the Southern States, their " institutions" or their negroes. They are for Free Labor ; they believe in it; they live by it; they wish to see it protected, encourag ed, developed ; they insist that the Territo ries—since they came to us so free—shall be consecrated to it; but they are willing that the South shall take her own time wherein to be convinced of its immense superiority to the wretched system, inherited from Pagan barbarism, to which she so insanely cliDgs. The fact that Pennsylvania has declared for Lincoln, by a majority which puts her vote in November beyond all cavil, is certain to exert a tremendous influence in quieting the fears of the timid and assuring the thrifty and cautious tbat the new era now opeoiDg upon us is destined to be emphatically one of order and peace. The election of Tuesday spanned the Slave Border from the shore of the Atlantic almost to the banks of the Mississippi, embracing the three Free States next after Now York in population and power, and unitedly east ing sixty-three Electoral Votes—more than one-third of the number required to cheose a President by the people. That those six ty-three votes will be cast for Liucoln and Ilamlim, Dobody doubts any longer, more than that the sun will rise to-morrow. Add Pennsylvania and Indiana to Col. Fremont's vote id '56, and tbey elect a President, say ing nothing of Illinois or the new States of Minnesota and Oregon. Is it possible any loDger even to affect not to discern the hand writing on the wall ? TBCB GEHVTREI DBMOCHAT. For the Centre Democrat. Jollification in Stormstown. MESSRS, EDITORS : Permit me, for the ed ification of your readers, and the informa tion of the Editors of the Watchman, to say a few words about the jollification that came off in this place on last Friday night. The friends of Lincoln, Hamlin, Curtin and Hale, comprising by far the larger portion of our population, were in attendance. The "rag ged children" of the Watchman were out in their strength. "Amalgamation Barlow,'' and "chicken GiDgrieb," were in the crowd and appeared in fine spirits, and everybody was conscious that Curtin was Governor, and could see with a great deal of clearness that Lincoln would be the President. The Stormstown Wide Awakes turned out in procession, and being a new tning in this place, attracted much attention. In front of the procession was borne a magnificent transparency on the shoulders of four men, with the inscription on one side, in letters of flame "Protection to labor, free homes for the homeless," and the other was "Lin coln, Hamlin and Curtin." Behind this transparency was cariied one bearing the in scription, "Have you seen Sam." Several other transparencies were in the procession, each bearing appropriate mottoes. The speaking was to come off in front of Mr. Mattorn's Hotel, whore a large bonfire had been kindle!. The Hotel steps, dcors aDd windows, were crowded with ladies, anxious to hear the speeches. After the procession had paraded through the town it drew up in front of the Hotel, and Mr. Brisbin was loudly called for. He took the stand and was received with three deaf ening cheers. lie said it gave him great pleasure to congratulate his fallow citizens on the favorable result of the late election in Pennsylvania, hut that the result of October was but "the beginning of the end." In November next there would be another gath ering in Stormstown similar to the present one, to rejoice over the election of Abraham Lincoln. He believed that Pennsylvania had, in electing Col. Curtin, secured the elec tion of Lincoln beyond a doubt, and said the glorious news from Indiana and Ohio, which was then streaking it through the gulches and aloDg the plains of California, had se cured that State to the Republicans by fiye thousand majority. Mr- Brisbin continued speaking about an hour, the wind and smoke at times blowing directly in bis face and al most choakiDg him. Washington Murphy, who has just return ed from the South, was the next speaker.— He gave an account of how Northern men are treated in the South, showing the outra ges practiced upon them by the slave drivers. HOD. A. R. Barlow made the closing speech. It was almost impossible to hear him on account of the wind and smoke. Af ter talking about half an hour he concluded, when the prooession was again foriped and the streets paraded. After the meeting had adjourned a loDg and bitter dicussion took plaoe in front of the Hotel, between George Gates, Grey Meek and others, which, at times, threatened to be serious, but fortu nately no violence was committed. Late in the evening, Committees from Lovetown and Gatesburg, waited on Mr. Brisbin and invi ted him to be present and speak at the rais ing of two Lincoln and Hamlin Poles at the above places on the next day. Mr. Biisbin thanked the Committees and accepted both invitatkns. More anon. Yours truly, A. B For the Centre Democrat, Pole Raising at Lovetown. MESSRS. EDITORS : Yesterday was a glo rious day for old HalfmooD. Two Lincoln and Hamlin Poles were raised—one at Love town and the other near Gatesburg. I was not present, but I have the proceedings from an eye witness. The weather, which had been unfavorable during the forenoon, cleared up and the rain ceased falling. A procession from this place accompanied by the Martial Band was in at tendance. After the Pole had been raised, the crowd gathered around the stand, and Mr. Brisbin was called on for a speech. Mr. Brisbin said he had been informed that the Pole just erected was put up by new-converts to Republicanism. He congratulated these men on their abandonment of so corrupt a party as the Democracy had now became, and believed that they would find the ways of Republicanism the ways of pleasantness and truth. lie then went intc a long argu ment, showing many reasons why men, who were in favor of principle and right, could no longer vots and act with the Democratic par ty. After he had 6poken nearly an hour, a messenger arrived from the lower Pole, say ing that quite a crowd was down there wait ing very impatiently for the upper meeting to adjourn, Mr- Brisbin immediately closed his speech amid three times three, and the whole body of meD, except five or six, pro ceeded with all speed to Riders, whsre the other Pole was to be raised- Poll Raising at Rider's After some little delay, the Pole was got up, and three times three given. Another speech was demanded and Mr. Brisbin again took the stand, amid three cheers of the peo ple. The crowd was now quite large, and a number of ladies were in attendance. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and notwith standing Mr. Brisbin bad spoken over an hour the night before in the open air, and a long time at the upper Pole, seemed now on ly to be getting warmed up. Some one in the crowd wanted to hear something about the ragged children the Watchman talked of.- Mr. Brisbin said if our children were ragged we all knew the reason why it was so—it was the extravagance and free trade policy of the Democratic party that had put them in rags, and uoless we wrested the govern ment from the bands of these men, the day was not far distant when we would not have much victuals to put inside of our children's rags. (Cries of good, good, and three cheers.) The rain now commenced falling, and Mr. Brisbin concluded his speech, leaving his au dience in the best possible humor. Put Hallmoon down ior an increased vote in November, of at least eleven over that of October, A- B. Hon. John Coyode We have peculiar gratification in announ-' cing the re-election of Mr. Covode to Con- j gress, by a largely increased majority. No man in this canvass, says the U. S. Gazette, '< has been hounded so fiercely, or pereecuted with such unsparing calumny, not only by political opponents but by others who were weak enough to become the tools of the dem ocracy, aod to serve its basest purposes in endeavoring to compass his defeat, and to promoto the success of Mr. Foster. The peo ple who know him best, among whom his fortunes have been cast, and who have watch ed his rise from th 6 humblest beginnings, have spoken out with an emphasis and ex pression of which any man might well be proud, and reiterated their confidence in such a manner as to rebuke and silence every slander that was fabricated against him.— This verdict is the more significant and im posing in coming from Mr. Foster's own home where the efforts of his party were na turally most concentrated and intensified.— We happen to know, personally, that Mr. Covode did not desire a re-election, and went so far as to prevent any movement or expres sion on the part of those who considered him entitled to that recognition and desired to have benefit of his practical usefulness in CoDgress. He thought it time to retire and to return the trust which his constituents bad so generously bestowed upon him, and there fore was in no sense a candidate for the nom ination, which was voluntarily conferred af ter he bad made known his purpose to with draw at the end of the present term. He is a valuable membet of the House, and a faith ful representative of Pennsylvania and all her interests. We want just such men in Congress—men who are reliable, true, effi cient and disinterested, and who regard the success of the cause with which they are identified as superior to all personal or am" bitious considerations. Gives up.tho Contest. R. Milton Speer, the editor of the Hunt ingdon Union, who may be taken as a very fair specimen of Democratic editors, so far as ability goes, thus caves in last week and concedes the election of Lincoln ; " Democrats are anxiously asking, "What now?" We we can scarcely tell them. We regard the eleciioi of Lincoln as certain as aDy future event can be. We be lieve he will carry every Northern State ex cept Caliiornia, and, if the Democrats con tinue their quarreling there, he will sweep it too. A union of all the conservative ele ments in New York, has been agreed 10, but it Btrikes us that it will be powerless to save the State from the Republicans. Thousands of men go with the strong side, and Lincoln will get thefh all. We have no desire to conceal our fears for the perpetuity of the Union in the event of Lincoln's election." You are right, Speer, but what will your party say to your oandld admission. Re member it is true Democracy to conceal the truth as long as possible. Do not get alarm ed about the South if Lincoln is elected, we will see that be is inaugurated- Twenty eight millions of freemen in the North' will attend to that. A citizen of Illinois whipped to Death in Texas. The Chicago Press and Tribune hae a let ter from Mr. Frederick Ainthar, who was recently driven out of Texas on some frivo lous pretences. He gives the l'oilowiug ac count of the horrible whipping of a young man at Henderson, in that State, which re" j suited in death. He says: " A young man from Illinois, by the name of Evans, came to Henderson, and while there was incautious enough to say that he tho't slavery was wrong. These statements, as far as I heard them, he nude in the mildest manner, and that only when pressed into the subject by the young men about town. I am satisfied that he never said or thought of saying anything, except when conversation on the subject was forced upon bim. I had but a slight acquaintance with the young maD, but I told bim that he ought uot to al low himself to be dragged into talking on the topic. But he was not careful. In Decem ber last, this young man was taken out by a mob, without a trial of any kind and whip ped to death. The Henderson New Era, a paper published in Henderson, justified the infamous murder, on the ground that Evans was a common thief, an Abolitionist, &c. 1 was shown the whip which I was informed had been the instrument of his death. It was covered with blood. I also saw what I was informed was the dead body of Evans, about three quarters of & miles from town. It was so decayed and swollen that I did not recognize it. The hogs and buzzards were eatiDg it. It had never been buried 1" Destructive Fire in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 19. This morning at about five o'clock, the large five storied structure known as the Franklin buildings, located immediately in the rear of Franklin Hall, Six'h street below Arcb, was destroyed by fire. The fourth sto ry, in which the flames originated, was occu pied by Duncan White, book-binder. The entire stock of work on hand, was ruined by fire and water, involving a loss to Mr. White of about $2,500, E. C. aud J. Biddle, Charles Deßiiver, and other publishers, had work in the hands of Mr. White, which was destroyed or badly damaged. The fire spread to tLe bock-bind ery of Cbas. H. Marot, on the fifth floor, which sustained some loss from water. The third floor was occupied by William S. Young, general job printer. Mr, Young's establishment was deluged with water. 3ev eral religious newspapers and periodicals are published here, and the fire will interfere se riously with the issue of some of these papers. The forms ot the Christian Instructor and the Continental Journal, were knocked into pi, and printed sheets wer9 destroyed. A considerable portion of the edition of the Presbyterian Quarterly Review, was destroy ed, Mr. Young can form no estimate of his loss. Smith APeiers, stereotype printers, occu pied the second floor. They bad a Dumber of valuable works on hand, which were ru s iot'd bv water. They estimate their loss at from $2,000 to $3,00 p. The building belongs to Hulings & Cow perthwaite. The loss to the building, stocks, machinery, &c., roughly estimated at from SIO,OOO to $15,000, is entirely covered by in surance. The tire was the result of accident. Republican Victory iu Nebraska, ST. LOUIS, October, 18. Telegraphic dispatches this morning state tbat Dailey, the Republican candidate for Delegate to Congress, for Nebraska Territo ry, is elected over his Democratic competitor by a majority of 192. This good news ia to be added to that received last week from Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio, and inas much as the first intelligence from Neoraska j indicated a Democratic triumph, the present j result is all the more gratifying. Keep the ' ball rolling. Railroad Conductor Arrested A few weeks ago a passeßger train on the Pennsylvania Railroad ran into a crowd of people at HuDgtindon, killing three men and wounding a number of others. Upon an in vestigation of the affair, the Coroner's jury rendered a verdiot that the accident was the result of carelessness on the part ot the em ployees of the Company in charge of the train, and warrants were issued by a Hun tingdon Magitsrate for the arrest of Andrew Roloff, the Conductor, and Wm. Armstrong, the Engineer. Roloff subsequently resigned or was discharged, and managed to keep out of the way of the officers until last evening, when Constable Fleck, of this City, discover ed him at the depot and promptly secured him. He was committed to prison by the Mayor until one o'cloek in the afternoon, and then taken to Huntingdon and delivered up to the authorities of that county. Mr. Arm strong, the Engineer, has not yet been cap tured. The charge laid against them in the warrant is that of mansiaughtsr. These men attribute the accident to the giviog way of the new patent break, which rendered im possible the stopping of the train until it run some distance beyond tha regular station. A Wide-Awake parade was in progress at the time, and a large concourse of people had coF lected in the vicinity of the depot to witness the arrival of visiting delegations. The facts will he fully developed when the case comes up for trial— Harrisburg Telegraph. The Election.

THE DOLLAR GOLD PIECE'.— It is announ ced that one dollar gold coins is to be with drawn. The Secretary of the Treasury anci the officers of the United States Mint persist in the late determination of recouping them into double eagles. Three millions are now undergoing the change of denomination ip the Phi'ndelphia Mint, This is good news. Every one who had one of these manikin dollars knows the trouble he had to hud the "li't ! e joker," when wanted ; and many, alter being repeatedly cheated by hastily diebur ing tbem for three cents pieces, have adop ted the plan of expending a portion of thpni in order to make sure of the remainder by getting it into small change.

We mean to leave you alone, and in no way interfere with your institution ; to abide by every compromise of the Constitution ; and in a word coming back to the original proposi tion, to treat you, as far as degenorated men, (if we have degenerated) may according to the examples of those noble fathers, Wash ington, Jeftersou and Madison.
