W. TV. BROWN*. Stop and Think. While we must cordially endorse the doc trine that a majority should rule, wo aro not willing to give up the glorious victory wo achieved over the cohorts of slavery and Free Trade, on the 6m day of November last. We entered the last campaign with Lincoln and Hamlin, A. G- Curtin, Free Soil for free men, Protection to American labor, and a Homestead for every working m n, ins r b -d apon our banners. Fur these principles we wrote, we spoke, and worked with all the •aergy and ability we possessed. The peo ple rallied to our standard, endorsed the Chi eago platform which contains these glorious principles, worked witt us, shouted with us, and better than all. voted with us, giviog Gov. A. G. Curtin over 32,000 and Lincoln sad Ilamlin more than 92,000 majority in tke old Keystone State, New we do uot wish to dictate to any man, hat as a publiivowrnofw? we have a right to thiak and act for ourself which we wiil most aasuredly do " sink or swim, survife or per iih." In accordanca with these sentiments, thereforo we must call upon the American Republiaaus of Centre to stop and tl.ink be fore they make up their minds to apologize for voting for old Abe Lincoln or Col. A. G. Curtin, or for endorsing the Chicago platform before the election. Iron masters, business men, laboring men, farmers, mechanics of Centre, let us reason together. Suppose you •ay to. the good end true Republicans of the East and West, North and South, that you are unwilling to stand by the Chicago Fiat form, or the triumphant majority in its fa vor, declared by the people at the ballot-bi x, er in other words, suppose by your actions you ay. that you are willing to compro mise with slavery " for the sake of puce,'' thus ignoring the 8:h resolution of your plat form, which rends as follows : " That the normal condition of all the "territory of the United States is that of "Freedom- That as our Republican fathers, " when they had abolished slavery in all our " national territory, ordained that, ' no per " son should bo deprived of life, liberty or "property, without due process of law,' it " becomes our duty, by legislation, wbenev "er such legislation is necessary, to rnain " tain this provision of the Constitution " against all attempts to violate it ; and we " dery the authority of Congress, of a terri " torial legislature or of any individuals to " give legal existence to slavery in any ter " ritory of the United States." Sappsse we say you ate veiling to give up this plank, this freedom-loving doctrine of your platform, what assurance have you that the Republicans of the New England States, ef the middle States, of tiie Western end Northern States, wiil not refuse to stand up. on the Tariff plank of that platform? If we refars, in Pennsylvania, to stand by our wbolo Platform and doctrines, what right have wo to exf.net that the Republicans afore said, who are n >t as dr-sply interested in Pro tection as we are, will stand by us, or vote for a Tariff? Without the Ch : *go Piatform as cur chart and compass, tho American Re publican party must be scattered to the winds, or rather sink in the ocean ci pontics to rise ua rrcre forever.

The Tariff- The Telegraphic news irotn Washington informs us that a Committee of Importers from New York, are at the Capital, working to defeat the most important provisions of the Morril Tariff Bill, the abolition of the Ware housing system. The principle reasons urg ed for this step, are almost identical with thoso urg=>d for the abandonment of other principles laid down in the Chicago P.at form. For instance, they say, "Oh, don't pass this B 11, because it will be distasteful to the South." Again they say, "They are not represented at Washing'on." Honest men of Centre, are these good reasons why we should have no Tariff ? But again they say, "If you pass this Bill it will be a bar to re conciliation." Now we are not inclined to stop to refute these arguments, or rather objections to the Tariff. Their source is their own refutation.' All we wish, is to call the attention of our Republican friends, who appear willing to give up the fiee soil plank of the Chicago Platform, to this new and impudent demand on the part of the South, and the free traders of New York City, on your patriotism and love of peace. Will we, must we, give up the Tariff plank too, to appease the rebel, to ry, Free traders of the South, and save the Union ? If we yield everything to the South and their allies, how long, working men of Centre, will it be before they will endeavor to makes slaves of us—by taking the right of suffrage from us, perhaps, by Selling us into Slavery ? It looks''very much now, as if we dare not vote for the man of our choice, as if wo dare not vote as we please, or vote at all, without first consulting the nabobs and nigger drivers of the South. Tariff men of Centre, again we ask, wi'l you complain when Eastern Re publicans abandon the Tariff plank ? If we have a right to abandon one part of the plat form, have not they a right to desert the rest? And must all this be done to satisfy Southern Democrats, and sate the Unioh ? Ccncssions ean never save the Union, there fore let us stand firm. Let there be no divi sion in our ranks, but lot union, harmony, peace, and a strong patriotism, dwell in ev ery heart now as they did before the election, when we all stood shoulder to shoulder, and heart to heart, battling for the cause of Free white labor—the cause of Cod—the cause ol humanity. The Southern Congress Wo learn from our daily exchanges that ' the Southern Congress, now in session for j the purpose of forming a Southern confeder ; acy, have adopted the Constitution of the ' United States as it is as the supreme law of ; that Confederacy. Now we usk if the Con ' stitution of the United States as it is without 1 change or amendments is good enough for a ! Southern Confederacy why should we change ;it ? If after they have seceded, they say, by adopting that sacred instrument, that it is ' good enough for them, why can they not live in peace with us in the Union, under ! the same sacred instrument without disgrao : ing it and us by attaching the Crittenden or any other amendment to it ? Who will an ; swer these questions ? Every thinking man must see that seces sion is a humbug, that all these men want is | to break up and annihilate the American I Hepublican party, by whipping us into a dis ! honorable compromise. Will we suffer our. , selves to be caught by such flimsy tricks ? j So far as wo are concerned, we say never. He Paper Last Week. Thpre was no paper published at this office last week. The reason for not issuing was, that we were disappointed in getting paper. We had an agreement with Mr. Cacanee of Columbia Co., who was to delivor us a lot paper on Court week. lie did not come and we waited until it was too late to send el.-e --whero, a d we were com soiled to omit our publication. Wa are sorry that we had to do so, but the loss is curs and not the sub scribers. Wc will send them the full num ber of papers for a year. We have now got ; puper and next week Mr. Cavance will de liver us another lot. Hereafter tbo CENTRE DEMOCRAT will be issued regularly and earli. er than heietofore, so that the paper will reach till our County subscribers by Satur j day at the latest. Here is a verse we used to sing with a great deal of gusto before the Oubernato ; rial and Presidential election. Let us all j siDg it once more : | " Here we are as you diskiver, ; All the way from old salt river, Awoy, away, away, away. ! We all go lor Abo Lincoln, ! Away, away, ! And when wo get to Washington Oh how we'll make the Loco's run, _ Away, away, away down South to Dixie." 1 We hope and tray that the Republicans of j Centre will conduct themselves so as to give | the Locofocos no chance to make the Repub -1 licaDS run away from Washington before : President Lincoln takes his seat. If they do where will wo go ? Echo answers— " Away down South to Dixie." A Good Speech. ! We call the attention of our readers to the j able and eh quent speech of Senator Sim ! inons of Rhode Island, which wo publish on I our outside to-day. Let every reader care [ fully read it and then hand it to yonr neigh i bor, It is emphatically the best speech we Lavo yet seen on the compromise question, and every one should read it. We publish part of it this week and the balance will ap pear in our next issuo. Secretary Dix recently sent a dis patch to New Orleans, ordering the arrest of Captain Brushwood, of the revenue cutter McClelland, and directed, if he resisted, to treat him as a mutineer, and if any man of fered to haul down tbe American flag to shoot him on the spot. The dispatch was intercepted at Montgomery, by order of the Governor of Alabama, and 6ent to the Gov ernor of Louisiana —thus Brushwood escaped arrest, and the cutter was seized by the Louisiana secessionists. Position of the Republican Party. The Springfield Journal, the home organ of the President elect, which is presumod to speak his sentiments, takes strong grounp against any surrender of principle. "In the late campaign our party platform was he fore the country—the speeches of our lead ing men were printed and scattered like tho leaves of Autumn—our presses, hundreds in number, and issuing a combined circulation of millions of copies, ail united in proclaim ing, in language that could not be misunder stood, the real principles, aims, ohjocts and hopes of the Republican party. Under 6uch circumstances we formqff the belief that the whole country understood the Republican po sition. We have been charged by our ene mies with favoring tbe equality of the black and white races; with a design to interfere with slavery in the States where it lawfully exists ; with opposition to the admission of any more Slave States ; with a determina tion to deny to the South the benefit of a Fu gitive Slave Law ; with aiding and inciting slaves to escape from their masters; with approving of the raid of John Brown ; and ( finally, with cherishing hatred to our South' ern brethren. Each and every one of the above charges are bass falsehoods. It was dishonorable in our enemies to stoop so low to conquer in tho recent campaign ; it is criminal to reiterate those charges now. The Union of still loyal to tbo Consti tution—the ultimate return to duty of thuee States which have so unwisely attempted to secede —the avoidance of civil tvar —the sal vation of the Government, and the restora tion of fraternal affection, all depend, in a | great measure, upon a true understanding of I the position of the Republican party by the j people of tbe Southern States. To preserve I interests so vast, and to bring about results so earnestly desired by all good men, may | we not cherish the hopß that the honest and I patriotic men of the opposing parties, North | and South, will take some pains to post I themselves as to the real principles, aims j and objects of the Republican organization ? It would be a little matter to print the Re publican platform in the leading Southern | papers, and to accompany it with the ques tions proposed by Mr. Douglas to Mr. Lin | coin, and his (Lincolo's) answers thereto.— If this could be done, the Southern people | would at ODce understand that the Republi can party does not favor the equality of the black and white racos—does not oppose the admission of more Slave States—does not propose to interfere with slavery in the States where it lawfully exists—does not propose to deny the South the benefit of a Fugitive Slave Law—is Dot in favor-of inei \ ting slaves to escape, nor in aiding them to ;do so—did not apprave of John BTOWD'S in vasion of Virginia, but severely condemned j it—and, finally, does not cherish hatred to ward the people of the South, nor seek to de prive them of any Constitutional right. If ; the Southern people would read our platform | they would find the whole matter resolving J itself into this : The Republican party be lieves that Congress has a right, under the | Constitution, to exclude slavery from the Territories, and that it is the.duty of Cong : roes to exercise that right. It is the fres -1 dam of the Territories, as such'aloae, that we demand. When the people who may in habit those Territories shall bring them to J the doors of the Union for admission, ihey I should be admitted with or without slavery, las said people may deter nine* This is the belief, the dociriue, tho principle, that we urge Republicans to cling to, to the last. It is to this we refer when V e say -. No SURREN DER—STAND FIRM -BE TRUE." " I Have Not Begun To Fight Yet." The above language of the gallant ami brave Paul Jones, when the British comman der asked if he had struck his flag and sur rendtred, ore memorable words. Although bis deck was slippery and streaming with the blood of bis gallant crew, his ship was on fire, his guns were nearly all dismounted, bis colors shot away, and Ins vessel gradual ly tinkiog, P'inl Jones with an immortal heroism, continued to fight. "Do you sur render ?" 6'noutod the English captain, desi ring to pi event further bloodshed, and seeing the coiors of the Bon llomme liicbard gone, supposed the American hero wished to sur render. llis answer was "I bavs not begun to fight yet 1" The scene is thus described : —There was a lull in the conflict for an in stant, and the boldest held his breath as Paul Jones, covered with blood and black powder stains, jumped on a broken gun car riage waving his sword exclaimed in the never'to be-forgot'eu words, " I have not be gun to fight yet!" And the result was the battle changed, and in a few minutes the brave Paul Junes leaped upon the British vessel a conqueror and a hero. What an admirable watchword for the battle of life, does the above stirring incident give to every man. Reverse may uvcrwhelm for a time, dospair may ask hope to strike her flag, but planting the foot more firmly, bending the back more readily to the burdens imposed, straining the muscles to the utmost tension, and bracing the drooping heart, let him who is driven to the wall exclaim, " I have not begun to fight yet." Ttiey are words of en ergy, hope and action. They deserve, tbey will command success In the darkest hour let them ring out aod forget the past, the years wasted and gone by, and give tbem as an inaugural address of a uew era. When the misfortunes of life gather too closely ar< u id, let the battle cry go forth from the thickest of the conflict, "I have not begun to fight," asd you will find your foes flee be fore the new strength imparted, and yielding the vantage as you press forward in the bat- He strife. Republicans of Pennsylvania, let us ndopt this as our motto. Let each one for himself say : " I have not begun to light yet."— " Nothing is wanting but a firm hand and a steady rein, and a most glorious and over whelming triumph awaits us." Lot us show to the world, to our enemies, to the enemies of freedom, and.tbo Constitution as it is, that we are in earnest. If wo do this hundreds of honest Democrats will honor us for it, and next fall they will flock to our standard and with our motto, "I have not begun to fight yet," inscribed upon their banner, they will go into the thickest of the fight with all the zeal and ardor of new and honest converts. God is in history. He is working out tae destiny of tlis great nation, lie is on the side of freedom. Let us be careful that we be not found fightiDg against; ffod. From the New I ork Jl orld• It is remarkable bow often the cause of the Union has been favored by what men call good fortune, in spite of tbe confessed weakness of the head of the government, sii os tioason set out in its wicked sareer. It needs no effort of ?be memory to recall many notable instances. The discovery of the state bond rubbery, just at the timu it occurred, was a great piece of good fortune. Treason ruled the cabinet; the treasury had been made bankrupt; the War department has employed every means to arm and strengthen rebellion; the head of the ißterior department was on a treason mission to a doubtful southern state ; the President, c owed aud nerveless, was manag ed like a puppet, and the venerable pa'riot who occupied the first place in his council resigned in dispair ; ruin stared upon the laud. But suddenly, at the very darkest hour, a monster fraud, which had lain un known in the departments for many months, by nco'dent came out lo tho public eye; con tusion seized upon the conspirators, and they fled from their posts ; the President awoke to the iniqui y which bad been around bim ; he resumed his manhood, and called true men to his side; a patriotic policy was set up, and the government which had been driven on so fearfully, end apparently so helplessly, toward destruction, was saved.— It was the mere chance development of some thing qui.e extraneous from the peril itself that bad this mighty effect upon it. It was good fortune that Major Anderson took the resolut on at the time he did. in spite of the opposing plans of bis chiefs at Washington, lo abandon Moultrie for bump ier ; good fortune that, notwithstanding the rigid surveillance of the Charleston rebels, be accomplished the feat so successfully on that clear moonlight night; and good for tune that, after this was done, while yet hib preparations for delease were incomplete, a stoim arose and continued for days, that kept his enemies at bay, and allow-ed hira the amplest opportunity to put his new post in a condition that might defy their rage The rebels had counted upon this command ing fortress as surely their own ; and its 'oss so strangely brought about and so entirely unlocked for, was a terrible reverse which they will not oeaso to feel to the end. It was good fortune that the Star of the West, when dispatched with reinforcements under the mistaken idea that they were nee ded, did not persist in pushing through Charleston Channel, but turned as she did, since it is new kuown that a minute more wcU'd have drawn from Major Anderson a fire upon the assailants that, had it occurred must have immediately kindled general civil war. It was good fortune that the cannon at Yicksburg aimed at the A. 0 Tylor, did not send forth its missiles of death, its priming only flashing. Had that discharge taken place, and destruction Deen scat'ered thereby among that c ompany of peaceful travelers, fury would have seized thousands of the ve hement spirits of the already irritated North west, and a bloody conflict would have prob ably been the sequel. Ir was good fortune that Fort Jefferson, at the Tortugas. and Fort Taylor, at Key West po.-itions whieh are the keys of the Gulf of Mexico, commanding all its commerce—were reached just when they were by the federal detachments sent out from Boston. Had this been a day or two later, those impreg nable fortresses would have been found in the hands of the rebel forces, and treason would have been strengthened immensely. A like good fortune attended the transfer of troops to Fort Pickens, at Pensac da, which proved not to have been aa hour too soon to secure that must important positiou from the GvO-gia and Alabama troops, who had rush ed to secure the prize. We might cite other instances where for tune has well served the cause of the coun try ; but there is no occasion. We have said enough to show that the good cnue Las thus ar been signally favored, and that all things are conducing to a slow, sure, and bloodless victory. But fortune is a pagan word. It is a word that ought to have no place in Chris tian Speech—least of all, when the destioy of a nation is in question. There is a provi dence in national affairs, none the less indu bitable though we may not scan and fix its precise workings. The most hardened poli ticians are obliged to recognize it. With all the resources at his cornina= d. and with his a'most su! erhuman energies, Bonaparte call ed himself a fatalist, feeling there there was something out of biro that dealt with bim, controlled him, disposed of him. The red Republican and reckless Ledru Rollin cer tainly is about the last living man to Vie charged with superstition ; and yet he was constrained to declare in a speech, alter his flight from Paris, " For the last two years it seems that the course of events in the world has. been governed by a sort of fatality, and that all human combinations have lv en thwarted by some mysterious hand." The gray-beaded Prince Czartoryski only spoke the irresistible conviction of all the princes and all 'ho Domocrats of Europe when he proclaimed to his coun'rymen, " The time is rile with signs which show us that the ruling of the world belongs not to human hands, but onlv to Providence, and that Providence ah,tie leads us to those ends which defy our subtlest calculations," The public mud of the old wcrlf, however strenuously it engag es iu the activities of the times, has long since learned that the times will, after all, work out their own destiny—or, rather, that a higher power will, through them, voik out his will, whieh is destiny. Bath the poten tates an 1 the masses are understanding bet ter than before that they are not the control lers of events—that though " man proposes, God disposes." And cur revolutionists, we believe, will find that their ends, rough-hew them as they may, will be shappd by a stronger power. Machinate and muser as they please, they will never be permitted to break up this inheritance of our fathers.— This magnificent republic has a part yet to perform on the parth whieh they are impo tent to defeat. They will find to their sor row that the notiun that " history is but the devil's play-bill, performed with the sublime mechanism of depravity," is a great mistake. They will learn that the great destinies of the race are not left at the mercy of men's madness or weakness—that God is in history, and that, though we cannot clearly scan the divine polity, there is, amid all the restless ness of human passions, a divine influence that sets bounds to every destructive agency, and, from the turbulence of evil, educes good We have an unshaken faith that, this repub lic will emerge from its present troubles, not only uninjured, but stronger, and grander, and purer than ever. Even so doth God protect, us, if we be Virtuous and wise. Winds blow and waters roll Strength to the brave, and power, and deity. OVSTERS !

After considerable opposition, tho President has wisely concluded not to inter fere with the distribution of the necessary force iu Washington to defend it in case of attack, but to leave the whole matter with General Scott. Ths Southern Despot. Our direct advices from Charleston confirm a pretty general impression that ihe force wtiich created and has sustained the Seues* sion movement, whether it was the fever of an angry excitement or an attempt to com pel the North to concession and humility by loud and violent threats, is gradually subsi ding. It is very certain that the natural tendency of the present positio 1 of affairs is to produce such a result. It is not in the nature of things that a treasonable revolt against constituted authority should stand still. Born in the culmination of passion, it dies of good sense and soberness, if the in surgents stop to think. Even revolution springing from good motives, and aiming at righteous ends, must have a large ehare of that power which comes from the strength of passion ; and how much more must this be true of a mere rebellion conceived in iniqui ty and brought forth in madness. It is not truer of a woman than of this movement in the Southern States, "that she who hesitates is lost." Any one of them, even the arch traitor herself, South Carolina, may sit down in her gates, clothe herself with negro-cloth, and strew ashes over hor venerable head, be cause her sons have returned to their senses, and put on the garb of soberness and sanity, if she stops to reflsct. Thinking will be her ruin if she ventures to indulge in it. Even whisky will not save her if she fulls into a meditative mood in her drink. It is precisely tbis condition that she seems to have fallen into. The stars and stripes floating over Fert Sumier are sugges tive of very sober reflections, for which there is likely to be ample leisure now that the trenches are dug, the embankments made, and the batteries in order. From the frown ing guns of Fort Surapter the contemplative eye will naturally wander over tho hay and haibor ef Charleston, will rest upon the spot where sunken vessels obstiuct a'most all nav igation, and will turn to the deserted d >cks, the silent quays, the warehouses too full of cotton, and the coal-yards too empty of coal. It is aver? desperate madness indeed that will not be checked by such sigh's as these. The sight of the cotton alone will work a marvelous change in the South Carolina mind if rhey will look at it long enough to take in its full meaning. Cotton is moie than King in Charleston, at this moment, and is getting to be so in all the Cotton ■States —he is a terrible despot, that rides them as the Old Man of the Sea did Sinbad the Sailor. lie will neither give them to eat nor to dr.ok ;hi will neither permit tbvm t > stop for a moment of rest; nor will be get off and leave them to take care of themsel *es. In short, they can do nothing without Cot ton, and having got it, they can, under pres ent circumstances, do nothing with it. Un less the crop moves, Secession stands still ; unless the crop moves there are not even slaves' rations of allotted corn and bacon ; much less are there, unless the crop moves, munitions of war, Columhiads, Minnie rifles, marching armies, swift men-of-war, commis sariat, and all the rest that go to the arming of a great revolu ion. In the mean time while contemplating this state of things arid looking for a remedy, the thought will be born in many a brain, sobered by mere rest, what is all tbis for? Lloes it pay '! llad'nt we better give it up ? And when they get to the point of asking this latter question, they are also very near its correct so'utior. In the mean time we of the North need not talk of Compromise. We may safely have the matter ro Co'ton, for as long as three millions o! that precious nv t tiul re mains immovable in South Carolina store houses, wo are sura that the Sou'h has a master that will keep her in check, and bring h"r to her senses.
