AMERICAN REPUBLICAN I
j
MASS MEETING.
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 ?

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,

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.

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.
INDIANA COUNTT. —We publish the vote of

entire regular ticket is elected by handsome
majorities.
Curtin's majority in the county is 178 G.

U. S. SENATOR. —It will devolve on the
next Legislature of Pennsylvania to eloet a"
Senator to represent this State in the Con
gress of the Nation. The West is entitled
to the man, and that man should be Edgar
Jowan, Esq., of Westmoreland county.
Mr. Cowan's sterling integrity and superi
or ability would make him one of the ablest
representatives in the Senate. We trust the
Legislature will acknowledge the claims of
the West and elect Mr. Cowan to be the suc
cessor of Mr. Bigler.
THE 24TH DISTRICT. —It is believed that
GEN. PATTON'S majority will be in the neigh
borhood of 1500 His majorities are as fol
lows. Warren, 900, Venango. McKean
and Jefferson each 400. in all, 2100 ; from
which is to be taken 36Q in Clarion and 250
in Elk, for KERR.
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. Farewell to the
little yellow humbugs. Though harder to
get the S2O coins are far more reliable. -

Mr. Lincoln's Conservatism-
While our foes arc charging uoon Mr. Lint
coin all sorts of ridiculisui and hostility to
the Southern people, it may be well to re
peat an extract from ous of his speeches.—
lie was addressing a meeting at Cincinnati,
and speaking particularly to a number of the
citizens of his Dative State of Kentucky who
were present, he said ;
" I will tell you, so far as I am authorized
to speak for the Opposition, what we mean
to do with you. We mean to treat you, as
near as we possiblv can, as Washington, Jef
fereon and Madison treated you. 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. We mean
to remember that you aie as good as we are ;
that there is no difference between us othea
