Grand Republican Rally...
In view of the present distracted state of
national Affairs, the Republicans-of Centre
County have concluded to bold a G+aud Mass
Meeting, on
WEDNESDAY EVENING, Jan'y., SCkb.
This is no time for party animosity, and
every Democrat in Centre County j 8 cordial
ly invited to attend. Come Democrats, let
us meet ae one.common brotherhood and de
liberate on the dangers that now threaten
our hitherto hßppy country. Tbe Wide
Awakes will, not parade, as was originally
designed, but every. member of- this noble
band should be prevent at tbe meeting.
Hon. -Edgar A. Gowan, and lion. David
Wilmot, have teeD invited to attend and ad
dress tbe meeting. Let theie.be a full turn
nut'
The Democratic Organr
We hate a liar—a wilful, malicious, reck
less liar, aud the condemnation pronounced
jn the Scriptures, where it says "they shail
be turned into hell-fire with all the nations
that forget God," is not one v.bit too severe.
Should this declaration of holy writ be strict
ly enforced, ( and it will be, ) we v.o.ider
what the Editors of the Democratic Organs
will do. That they have lied, no one can
doubt, and thai they, now. lie, no CHO ean
doubt. ; Messrs. Seeiy & Barnnart,. and more
particularly, F. Kurt'-, remember the
ble fate that awaits you, and repent ere it is
foreyer too late. Retract your vile slanders
against the Republican Party, or else expect
this great condemnation. You have, repeat
edly, charged that we are responsible for the
bard times—that the election of Abraham
Lincoln has caused our present national cri
sis. This you know to be false, for you know
as well us yu have souls in your bodies, that
times were as hard beiore the election as
sines—and that it was ycur reckless free
trade policy that brought them up>n tbe
country. You know, too, thai tbe election of
Abraham Lincoln hid nothing to do witn
this crisis, for he has uot jot come into pow
er, It was your weak-kneed President, who ;
permitted the tsaitora around hint, in the
Cabinet, to plot tbe rasa of the Government, j
who is responsible for this- distress. Had
be faithfully and fearlessly administered the
laws of the Government, St'outk Carolina
would hot now be in arms against the consti
tuted authorities, and the Forts ol Georgia
in the hauls of traitors. This you Know to ;
be true, and now we advise you, if you de
sire to escape tortures and horrors untold, to
cuit your unqualified lying, and if you can
not tell all truth, at least tell some, or held
your tongues altogether.
Foresight of Scott.
Gen. Scott, as long ago as las* October,
addressed a letter to President Buchanan, ir
which he warned him against the crisis tha:
has since come upon the country. Ha poiu
ted out, in that letter, tiie imminent danger
of a disruption of the Union by the seceseio i
of one or more of the Soushern States, ani
told him hew he might avoid such a calami
ty, but the President paid no attention to ths
old heroes warning.
One portion of his letter, in which the
General indicates the prob ibl' dividing lines
wbieh natural boundaries and commercial
affinities would determine, in the case of the
breaking up of the Union, is of less practical
importance at this moment than those other
portiuDh in which it appears that before the
November election be anticipated the capture
of S utbern forts and arseuals, and pressed
uoon tbe government the importance of at
onc9 throwing into them sufficient garrisons
to make their capture impossible.
llad the government but permitted this
yeteran officer to apply bis ounce of preven
tion, the nation might have passed ec. ily
through, if it did not altogether escape the
secession epidemic ; nor would it r.ow stand
in need of 'hat terrible cure which seems al
most necessary to its Isle. But a timid, va
eilufirig President, a traitorous, dishonest
Secretvry of War, and a Dabinei full of Se
cessionists, abandoned it, without let or hin
drance, to the worst of fates.
It is some little meager consolation that
the secessionists have been forced by there
same events to a disgraceful exit from the
Cabinet, and that now the policy of the gov
ernment, in its hour of trial, is more or less
directed by one wuo foresaw, and would have
averted it.
How A Save the Union.
Do you wish to know huw to save tha Un
ion and gie an overpowering life to ths now
despondent sentiment of patriotism? We
answer. Show that you mean to defend the
Constitution and maintain ihe Government—
Had M-jor Anderson fired a dozen guns on
Thursday of last week, and brt ught 'he Star
of the West safely under the walls of Sump.
Mr. Treason would have been stayed. That
aot alone would have savd Virginia from
plunging into the fatal gulf of rebellion.—
Useless talk of compromises, and of dragging
the Republican flag in the mire, can do noth
ing but more surely precipitate her into it.
We must look to the country to furnish a
sufficient number of men to effectually pro
tect the city. Will the p,eople of Centre Co.,
stand quietly while the Republic is destroy
ed. or will they defend it? Young men of
Centre county, arouse ! Our company of one
hundred is no; yet full. Send in your names
immediately and be enrolled in this glorious
little band of freemen. If you desire to atai.fl
by the flag of your country as year fatbtn
stood by it in tbe days o f tbe Revciltion, E ~3
it your time. Why tkec ieiej.' Sea 1 a

. Important Speeches.
Recently there has been made, in Con
gress, but two speeches to which tbe country
attaches special importance. One was de
livered by Mr. Seward/the admitted premi
er of tbe incoming administration, and the
other by John Sherman, the leader of the Re
publican party in the House.
Mr. Seward's speech has disappointed
everybody. It was expected' be-would point
out some way to remedy further difficulties,
and settle those which now distress us. This
he has not done, and those who expected to
gather from him the policy thAt would be
pursued by Mr. Lincoln have ben sadly dis
appointed. His speech is more that of a di
plomatist than a statesman. He speaks feel
ingly of the dangers that threaten our coun
try ; but does not tell us how we may avoid
them. He is like tbe Doctor who tells his
patient he is very sick, and yet prescribes no
medicine for his relief.
In the llouse Mr. Sherman made an elo
quent nmrpertinent speech. lie advocated
the maintenance of the Union and the Gov
ernment, remarking that the United States
had been patient and forbearing to tbe last
degree, and that South Carolina bad wanton
ly inado war on them. The free navigation
of the Mississippi must bo preserved at all
hazards. Tne question was not whether the
Government should coerce States, but wheth
er it should defend its property and its
rights-
No Time for Concession,
So far as we are aware, says tbe Ilarris
burg Telegraph there is not a solitary Re
publican journal in this Stale that advocates
or desires a compromise, to be obtained by
concession to the slaveholders! The Repub
licans of the old Keystone held that Mr.
Lincoln was eleeted President in accordance
with the Constitution, and do Dot intend, as
a condition precedent to his inauguration, to
concdd, amendment# to the Conststution ex
tending and perpetuating slavery and slave
holding domination. . Besides, if under pres
ent threats of disunion, they consent to
amend the Constitution, tbey know that four
years henca other amendments will be de
manded, under similar threats. It will be
just as easy for traitors to violate and disre
gard an amended Constitution, as it is to
overthrow the present one by seoresior. The
laws must be enforced, and the integrity of
of the Union must be preserved, under tie
present Constitution, And if that cannot be
done now, it neves can be done ; ; and there
fore the present Government don't amount
to a Government at all, and it is not worth
tinkering up at the sacrifice of every princi
ple hitherto held s&creL
Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet.
The time has now come when the country
might know what kind of men Mr. Lincoln
intends to have for his constitutional advi
sors. HuS three appointments are known
with any degree of certainty.
Mr. Seward, it is generally believed, has
been appointed Secretary of State.
Mr. Chase has also, we believe, been offer
ed the Port Folio of the War Department.
Mr. Cameron, we are informed, is Secre
tary of the Treasury, notwithstanding Mr.
Alexander [McClurs's very powerful opposi
tion to his appointment.
Mr. Davis, of Maryland, it is thought, will
be Secretary of the Navy.
Three are most excellent selections, and
the country may weli feel prcu i of Mr. Lin
coln's Cabinet, if such men as Seward," Chase,
Cameron and Davis are to ba in it.
Congress News.
The news from Washington is chiefly con
.gressicnal. In the Senate tha Crittenden
I resolutions were taken up, but postponed, on
| motion of Mr. IPgier, and made the special
! order for Monday. Mr. Green's joint reso
lution, recommending tbe. several stntes to
[ call a convention for the purpose of pacifica
| tion, was ordered to a second reading. The
Kansas bill was then in order, and came
very near i's passage. Had it not been for
the arrival of the hour at which the Senate
had agreed to go into executive session. Kan
sas would yesterday have been admitted into
the UnioD. Both Messrs. Deuglas aod Sew
ard were ;n favor of immediate action to that
effect.
Ths Furniture for the Governor's House.
We heard that one of the last acts of Gov.
Packer was the appointment of Phillip
D ughcrty for the purpose of spending the
£'3.(X)O appropriated for 'he purchasing of
new furniture for the Governor's residence.
Whilst we have uo objection to the appoint
ment of Mr. Dougherty, who is D honorable
gentleman ; yet it was understood before the
law was passed, that the Secretary of the
! Commonwealth, Mr. Slifer, would be appoin
ted, in order to consult the wishes of tbe
Governor's lady in his selection. It is now
commonly rumored that a lot of second-hand
furniture has been purchased from Gov.
Packer at exhorbitant bigb prices, and that
tbe money is to b8 expended in that manner
Washington in Danger.
We have private advices from Washington
'O the effect that the danger of the seizure of
that city by an armed mob of Southern Dis
unionists, is far more serious and more im
minrnt than ia imagmed by people abroad.
The few companies of regular troops whom
Gen. Scott has s'aiioned in tbe District, with
the newly enrolled and unorganized body of
tbe citizens ol the District, cannot be reiied
on against a coup de main executed by a
large toreo of desperate men well armed, and
suddenly launehed against the city.
Secession in Louisville.
NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 18—The programme
for 'he Luuisana secession has been agreed
upon by the leading members of the
I on. Arrangements are making with the
| seceding States, to hold a general convention
| at Montgomery, on 'he 20tb of February, to
-j devise a plan for the New Confederasy, adopt
the Fe l< rjd Cosstutioo, claim the title of a

THE! CE3VTRE DEMOCRAT.
The Cabinet Traitors.
.Never was there a class of men more-enti--
tled to tbe i lfamy of Benedict Arnold, says
tbe Columbia County Republisan , than the
men who bave-just left the Cabinet of James
Bdchanan. (Gen. Cass excepted.) |
First, there was Cobb. He rendered,the 1
Treasury bankrupt and the National credit
bad, and then absconded from tbe ruin be
had made. It is now evident that he has
used his position to favor tbe Disuoionists.
Then Floyd, a worse traitor stillj for he
left tbe Forts and Arsenals at the South pur
posely defenceless that they might be tbe
more easily captured, aye and denuded as
many of our Northern arsenals as he could,
of all their arms, and transferred them over
to the Secessionists, that tbey might not have
to purchasa weapons for their rebellion.
He intended to remain in the Cabinet for
the purpose of using his position to prevent
reiDforaements being sent to the small garri
j sons at the South. But when,he found that
he was overruled he resigned and fled to
Virginia to urge her to rebel. If an.v roan
deserves a halter it is John B. Floyd.
Third ia the list, is Jacob Thomson, of
Mississippi. He was Secretary of the Inte
rior. He filled bis department with Seces
sionists— wore the emblem of disus
nion openly, and one of whom robbed the
Department of about Nine Hundred Thousand
Dollars. When he failed in accomplishing
hie ends of conspiracy and- could no longer
control the President he felt it politic to re
sign. He 6hould have been handed over fo r
trial.
Lastly is Phillip F. Thomas, of Maryland,
successor to Cobb, in the Treasury Depart
ment. He no sooner entered the Cabinet
than he began to co-operate with the movers
in the Southern plot. He did all the dam ge
he could,,but the place beginning to get too
hot for his safety, he, too, had to resign.
We think tbe Cabinet is now pretty well
purged. We are mistaken ifthinga do cot
assume a different shape.
The New U. S. Senator-
Mr. Cowan, who has just been elected U.
S. Senator, is one of our self made men. In
his early life he was obliged to work at any
employment which presented itself. lie was,
at one time a driver of horses on tbe canal.
His taste for learning led him to improve bin
leisure moments in study. Not only did he
masrer the commoa English branches, but
he made himself famiiar with the languages
Htid tti oifli. lie 8 udied law in the offi e
ol Henry D. Foster, and became one of the
most distinguished lawyers in western Penn
sylvania, and fioaliy became a candidate for
the United States Senate, in opposition to
his old preceptor, Mr. Foster, and was elect
ed.
The first oboioe of Chester county was M r . ;
Hickman, and our entire delegation adhered
to him in caucus as long as there was any
hnpe of accomplishing anything by it
They would again urge his claims if a va
cancy should now occur, and with every
prospect of success. Ilis popularity is such
in the eastern part of the State that they
would vote solid for hi.it.
After it was ascertained that Mr. Hick
man could not be Dominated. Messrs. Peirce
and Shafer voted for Mr. Wilmt.t, and un
doubtedly reflected the sentiments of a large
majority of thei; constituents in eo doing.—
Our people were acquainted with the long
and eminent services of Mr. YViluuot, and
they were, with one aecord. in favor of his
nomination, if their favorite, Iliekman, could
not obtain the place. Mr. Acker voted for
Mr. Cowaa in the caucus, and was on the
successful side. His constituents wiil have
no reason to regret that he did what he could
to procure the nomina'ion of so excellent a
man. Those who have flattered themselves
that Mr. Cowan is less firm in his Republi
canism than Mr. Wilmot will soon be disa
bused of their error, after the Senator elect
takes his seat. He is firm and uncom-oro
ntising in every respect,— Chester county
Times.

FIRST PRISONER OF WAR. —The Geneva
Courier learus from Mr. Hunter, of Hobart
College, that he has received the intelligence
that his fatuer, Capt. T. T. Hunter, U. S. N.,
had been captured by toe secessionists at
Charleston.' Capt. Hunter was superinten
dent of the lighthouses in and around the
harbor of Charleston, and, after an earnest
attempt to execute the laws, was obliged to
yield himself to an overpowering far. Cap
tain Hunter was an officer in the Japau expe
dition, Commander of the Paraguay expedi
tion ships, assisted in the bombardment of
Vera Cruz, arid has always ehown himself
gallant, efficient and devoted to the true in
terests of the whole country. He has been
permitted to rei urn to his family, in Mary
land, on parole.
MALICE AFORETHOUGHT.— The New York
Times says, upoo authority, that during the
year which has just closed, there were sent,
from the Springfield armory alone, to South
Carolina, 15,000 muskets; to Alabama, 15,
000 muskets; to Georgia, 20,000 muskets:
to Louisiana, 30 000 muskets: to Norb.
Carolina, 25,000 muskets. This is one of
the evidences that the Secessionists have long
meditaei disupion and civil war, and pro
vided themselves as best they could, out of
the Federal recources- We think tba', bo
fore they get through with their treasonable
scheme, they'll find that most of those pilfer
ed muskets will kick.
HANGING A DISUNIONIS?, IN TENNESSEE,

considerably, as we have been told. The
