MOTTOES FOR THE DA Y.
1 will tuffer death before I will content or ad
vita my friendt to consent to any concession or com
promit. which looks like buying the privilege of
taking possession of the Government to which we
have n Constitutional right; because, whatever I
might think of the merit of the various propositions
before Congress, I should regard any concession in
the face of menace as the destrnction of the Govern
ment itself, and a aonsent on all hands that our sys
tem shall be brought down to a level with the exiting
disorganized state of affairs in Mexico. But this
thing will hereafter be, as it is note, in the hands of
the people ; and if they desire to call a Convention
to remove any grievances complained of or to give
nets uaranties for the permanence of vested rights,
it to not mine to oppose. [ABRAHAM LINCOLN-]
tnangurntion first ; adjustment afterward.
[SALMON P. CHAB.
I owe it to myet'.f, J sice it to truth, I owe it to
ho eubject, to stall that no earthly power could in
due* mt to rote for a specific measure for the intro
duction of Slavery others it had not before existed,
either South or Mifi'l if hat line. Coming as Ido
from o Slave Sta/l, . is my solemn, deliberate, and
well-matured de.lt'.iua'.ion that no power—no
earthly power—ehiY. e:n:pel me to vote for the poe
itve introduction of Slavery either south or nothr
*f that line. Sir, while you reproach, and justly,
too, our British ancestors for the introduction of
this institution upon the continent of America, ea m ,
/or one, unwilling that the posterity of the pre e ,it
inhabitants of California and Mew Mexico
shall reproach us for doing just what we re
proach Great Britain for doing to us. If the
citizens of those Territories choose to establish
Slaverylam for admitting them with such
provisions in their Constitutions ; but then, it
will be their own work, and not ours, and their
posterity will have to reproach them, and not
us, for forming Constitutions allowing the in*
stiiuiion of Slavery to exist among them.
[ HENRY CLAY.
Off with their Heads.
The Watchman last week published an ex
tract from " the private letter of a friend
who hk for some time filled a clerkship in
one of tba Departments at Washington."—
Wa enppase the gentleman referred to is Mr.
Shngert af this plaos, who owns the Watch'
man■ The correspondent grows sick at
heart at the mere thought of giving up the
geod fat office he has held under the Govern
ment for the last sixteen years, and clutches
at the least hope of remaining as a drowning
man would grasp at a straw. He says :
" The only hope I have of remaining, is
that they oannot accommodate more than one
•ut of fifty ; that the besieged will soon get
tired of the annoyance, and send these hung
ry, starvig applicants home. But lam not
building much even upon this. To be hon-
SSt about it, I do not expect to stay, as I
have been a strong opponent of the present
party. They cannot, however, torn all out
at once ae they must retain Borne te inatruct
the new ones."
So this fat, slick office-bolder, that has
sponged the Goyernment out of enough of
money to buy a good farm, a paper, and put
out a considerable sum ou interest, besides
hopes to hold on while the hungry, starving
applicants are sent home, These hungry,
starving applicants, as he calls them, are
good and true men, who battled through sun
shine and storm for the success of our glori
ous principles, and now that the party has
triumphed, are they to be set aside and men
retained in place who have done all in tboir
power to defeat us ? If that is the pclicy to
bo pursued by the Republican party, we
have fought our last fight for it, and it has
achieved its last victory. We have scores of
good and true men for every offiee ; men who
are fully capable, and will fill them better
than any sneaking, thieving democrat that
over held place under the Federal Govern
ment; aßd they must be appointed. Let
the robbing horde who have brought our
Government to bankruptcy and ruin, be sent
home to feed on their ill gotten gains, while
honest and true men administer the Govern
ment. But, says the Watchman correspon
dent, ' They cannot turn out all at once, ae
they must retain some to instruct the new
snei." Instruct them to do what ? Steal,
we suppose. You had better rotain Mr.
Thompson a few months to teach Mr. Smith
how to sxtract Indian Bonds : or perhaps it
would be well to recall Mr. Flnjd to instruct
Mr. Cameron bow to arm Southern rebels.—
Evil communications corrupt good man
ners, and God forbid that these men should
fceoome tbe teachers of our young and inex
perienced office holders. If they must.have
iastructors let the honest old men who served
under Harrison and Taylor, sod who are
now living in retirement, be recalled for a
few months, but for Heaven's sake don't let
them fall into the hands of modern democrat
ie officials. "To the victors belong the
spoils, " that was Mr. Van Bureo'e motto
it is good democracy, and we are in favor of
adopting it as a rule to guide the present ad
ministration. It is tho way they have al
ways done, and surely they will not object
to being done by as thoy have done to oth
ers. Parties, as well as armies, must be
kepi up by rewarding tba deserving. It is
this, the hope of proferment, that makes the
seenmon soldier fight a good fight. Our par
ty has met with a signal triumph, and if we
ere not to rsap tbe benefits, we will not scon
htve another victory to boast of. The lead
ers of our party will not suffer themselves to
he set aside in ordsr to accommodate, with
•ffice, corrupt men who have growed fat by
sucking the life blood from their unhappy
country. More than that yet, the rank and
file will not stand by and sea tbe claims of
their leaders ignored. Such a policy would
be fatal ta our party and it must not be pur
sued. Mr. Shugert must come borne, no
matter bow unpleasant it may be to his feel
iags to do so- Every Government official
must be onsted and new and better men ap
pointed to take their places. Then, and not
till then, can the nation be cleansed of cor
ruption, and tbe Government brought back
to its original simplicity and purity. Again
we repeat, off with their beads.
19* When tbo Governments of Europe
hear that the Nation has surrendered its
strongest Ferts inte the bands of the Rebels
what impression will it produce f Why,
that tbe rebels have licked the government—
that's all.
The Surrender of Fort Sumpter.
Fcrt Sumpter ie to be surrendered—not
given up—but absolutely surrendered with
all its arms and amunitions of war. This
humiliation will be deeply felt by the Amer'
ican people, but tbere is now no alternative.
That newspaper great man, Maj, Anderson,
has laved behind his guns and saw the rebels
erect battery after battery, until now they
cover him all over. It would require 10,000
men, and 1,000 lives to reinforce Fort Surnp
ter. The advantage to be gained is not worth
the sacrifice. What do we want with Fort
Sumpter 7 It is placed at the mouth of
Charleston Harbor to protect the city, and
the city being new iu the hands of the rebels
it becomes useless. Little doubt now re
mains that Maj. Anderson is a traitor tc his
country. If so, he is tbe worst that ever liv
ed. Before the inauguration all bis dispatch
es informed our Government that he did not
need re-inforcements and supplies—now be
fore the Administration is three weeks old be
is out of provisions, and asks to be re-inforo
ed, or says he must surrender. The Govern
ment investigates the affair, and ascertains
that he cannot be re-inforced without the as
sistance of an i turn ease armament which
would necessarily inyolvo tbe nation in an
immense expense, and result in the loss of
many valuable lives. Why did Maj. Ander
son permit himself to be surrounded ? When
the enemy commenced erecting batteries
around Fort Pickens Lieut. Slemmer notified
fhem that if they did not stop he wonld fire
on them, and the work was stopped. Maj.
Anderson's conduct will not compare favora
bly with that of Lieut. Slemmer.
Again, why did Maj. Anderson allow the
regulars to withdraw from the Fort as their
time run out, when he had the power to re
tain them in service, and when he knew that
the services of every man was important. If
Anderson is a traitor at all, the abandonment
of Fort Moultrie was a part of tbe plot, and
he has been in the employ of the South all
the time we have been engaged in making
him a great man. We hope be may be able to
clear himself of the suspicion that now rests
upon him. Time will tell what he is, and we
will rot condemn him until we
hear mare.
New County.
A bill was read in place last Satnrday, in
the Legislature, to form a new county out of
Centre and Clearfield ; taking Rush, Taylor,
Worth and Huston, off Centre County.
This we gnppose is the result of the doe
trine of secession. Will go out, will you?
Well you wont, see if you will, got to stay in
the County, and behave well, too ; if you
don't, we will call out the Fencibles, well we
will. Can't secede, no you can't. Centre
County as it is, one and inseperablo, now and
forever.
LATEX.
Our latest advicss inform as that the
Southern part of the County has seceded.
Another despatch says that the Northern
Townships are also preparing to go out.—
Hurrah for secession 1 Where is Gen. Wolf,
and the army ? Hare the Centre Dragoons
and Warriors Mark Cavalry, gone over to
the Secessionists? Wen't somebody tell us,
quick ? Do the rebels intend besieging the 1
Old Fort, and seizing Potters Bank ? Hold,
brother ! we'll surrender, don't shoot. Port
Matilda is already in the hands of the rebel
lioniets. Col. M&cmannus will, in all prob
ability, march at the head of a strong force
next week, to attack Uniooville, which is
said to still be loyal. Benj. Rich and Dr.
Blair are fortifying the town, aDd it may hold
out over night. The Democratic Watchman,
o( this place, has been purchased by the reb
els. Great excitement prevails. Harris
Township will not secede. Squire Jack, it
is said, will take strong grounds against the
secession movement.
The Post -Master,
The contest for the Pest Office at this plaoe
is carried on in earnest. Since the return of
Judge Hale, tbe friends of the several candi
dates have been busily engaged in urging
the Judge to use his influence in favor of
their respective candidates- We believe the
Judge has concluded to leave it to a vote of
tbe people. This would be fair. Tbe Post
Master comes in more direct eontact with tbe
people than anv other official in the Govern
ment, and a full and fair expression of tbsir
preference should be bad. Tbe polls is the
preper method to get this. To tba polls then
sovereigns, and decide who shall reign over
tht mail bags. To tbe victors belong the
spoils, and none but Republicans should
vote.
We would suggest that the board propound
the following questions to every one who is
not known to have voted our party ticket.—
" Did you vote for Lincoln ? " "Do you get
your mail matter at Bellefonte ? " To those
who have become twenty-one since the elec
tion, let the following be put: " Would you
bave voted for Lineoln ? " Every one who
gets hie mail at this office, (if a
should be allowed to vote. The following
gentlemen will be candidates : Martin Stone,
Delaune Grey, Wo. Tripple, Wm. Raphile,
Geo. Graffias, Chas. Mcßride, Albert Am
merraau, and Maj. A. B. Snyder.
Why is it ?
We are asked why it ia that the Northern
Lecofoco leaders are so averse to having the
Southern traitors " coerced" into obedicnee
to the laws, aud why they are so anxious to
make concessions on se large a scale as
to induee these Traitors te disband and re
turn to their allegiance ? The reasons are
plain. Tbe Northern Locofooos for years
have been in psrtnership with the Tcaitors—
have participated sinoe 1650 ia tbe conspira
cy to nationalize Slavery; bave had " the
spoils" under two administrations mainly
by the votes of these Southern conspirators;
and hope by seme juggle, dignified bv the
name of compromise, to get baok to the pub*
lie tstalls where they have fattened.
These are tbe reaeons. May they be
doomf? to defeat.
THEE CE3VTEE OEiaOCRAT.
Latest from Washington.
The last reports seem to indicate that the
Cabinet will shortly recognize the indepen
dence of the Southern Confederacy.
We are informed that tho Administration
will not receive the Southern Commissioners
in their proper character. Tbey will be re
ceived but the President will not see them.
The abondonment of Fort Sumter ia as muoh
as we can stand at one doss, so the dough
faces at Washington think, and therefore
they have decided not to receive the Commis
sioners at present.
Senator Wilson made a sharp speech in
tbe Senate, in which be rebuked Mr. Doug
las for his impudence in speaking for Mr.
Lincoln's Administration, and plainly told
him td mind his own business.
No extra session of Congress will be cal
led.
The New Yorkers want tbe new Tariff re
pealed. Tbey had better wait until they see
bow it works.
The appointments corns in slow.' It is te
dious work. The Senate will, in all proba
bility adjourn, and leave many unconfirmed.
The latest Despatches say that Fort Pick
ens had been attacked, and a fight occurred.
The news produced great excitement at
Washington.
Tbe lights at Pensecola were extinguished
by order of Col. Forney, the Collector, on
the 7th. This is another Southern outrage,
as Northern yessels cannot enter without
running the risk of being wrecked.
The latest news from Texas inform us that
Fort Brown was surrendered on the 12tb, to
the secessionists. All the Government troops
are leaving Texas, and eyerylhing is in the
of tbe rebels.
Important Nominations.
MINISTERS TO THE GREAT ruREIGN POWERS.
WASHINGTON, March 18, —Ths President
to-day nominated to the Senate as
Minister to England— Cbarlss F. Adams,
of Massachusetts.
Minister to France— William L. Dayton, of
New Jersey.
Minister to Sardinia —George P. Marsh, of
Vermont.
Minister to Turkey— James Watson Webb,
of New York.
It is thought that the following gentlemen
will be appointed
Mr. Burlingame will go to Austria-
Mr. Motley will be sent to Hague,
Mr.'Shurtz will go to Brazil.
Mr. Cassius M, Clay is to go to Spain.
The nomination of Mr. Dayton, as Minis
ter to Franoe, was immediately confirmed,
the rule requiring it to be refered having
been suspended, as that gentleman was for
merly a member of the Senate, and his char
acter is, therefore, sufficiently known with
out formal investigation. This is the usual
courtesy in such cases.
The Senate also confirmed the following
nominations:—
Benjamin M. Trumbull as reeeiyer of Pub
lie Moneys at Omaha, N. T.
Ex-Congressman Wm. A. Howard as
Postmaster at Detroit, Michigan,
Wm. S. Thaver was nominated for Con
sul General to Egypt, and Patrick J. Devine
as Coosul at Cork.
Dr. Lock, of Indiana haa been appointed
Chief of the Agiicultural Bureau of the Pat
ent Office.
Shugert to be Removed,
Just as we go to Press we clip the follow
ing from tbe New York Iribune:
" Great efforts are making to induce tbe
President to withdraw tbe nomination of Mr.
Ilalloway as Commissioner of Patents. In
tbut event Mr. Fogg of New Hampshire, wilt
piobably be nominated. When that office is
filled, one cf tbe first removals will be that
of Mr. SLugart, present Chief Clerk. It was
he who endeavor- d to force through an ex
tension ot Mr. McCormick's Reaper patent,
until stopped by Congress. He did extend
the four liuseey patents, and, alter hearing
the argument at night, made the decision
early next morning, and had all the papers
signed in one day, which, in tbe ordinary
routine, consumes a week or more.
THE POWER OF TRUTH.— The secession
journals denounce Mr. Lincoln's inaugural
with characteristic vehemence. The Rich
mond Enquirer says "it is couched in the
cool, unimnassioned, deliberate language oi
a fanatic," and with other fire eating papers
the calm, circumspect and self-possessed
manner cf its delivery is a matter of much
fault finding. Our traitorous friends should
know (bat Mr. Lincoln has no reason for ex
citement or passion. They may remember
the anecdote of Swift. When the Dean was
arguing one day with great coolness, with a
gentleman who had become exceedingly
warm is the dispute, one of the company
asked, " How do you keep your temper so
well ? " " The reason is, " replied the Dean,
" I have truth on my side. "
S&" Parson Brownlow does not seem to
desire South Carolina's return to the Union.
He says : " South Carolina baa drawn more
money from the National Treasury than any
other State in the Union, according to her
population. She has had a larger represen
tation in Congress than oDy other State of no
greater white population. And she has paid
less into tbe National Treasury than any
other State of equal population, consuming
less of foreign importation. She has been a
tax upon the General Government, and to get
rid of her and her burdens is a God-send—
Let her go, and Gad. jn bis mercy, forbid
that she ever return ! "
g@~ Locomotives, to be driven by Ameri
can anthracite coal, are now constructing by
the Paris and Orleans Railway company, at
their work-shops at Irvy, under the direction
of a Philadelpbian, of the name of Milbnl
land. The coal can be laid down on the line
for $6,70 per ton, and the experiment annoys
the English coal dealers very much. It is
said to be owing to the enterprise of a French
nobleman recently in this country, whose
attention waa drawn to the subject while
travelling with Lord Lyons, tbe British min
ister, over tbe Reading Railway.
ITALY. —The course of politics indicate
that ere long Napoleon will abandon the
protection which he has given to ths Pope,
since 1848, leaving that Pontiff to settle matt
ters with Victor Emmanuel as bes* be can—
In a short time Viator Emmanuel will sol
emnly assume the title of King of Italy
Venetia will probably be purchased from
Austria, and war be prevented. This is the
more probable, as Austria bas her bands full
ia attending to Hungary, which ia ripe for
revolt.
East Baltimore M. E. Conference
CHAMBIRSBURG, March 15,
The East Baltimore Csnferecce of the
Methodist Episcopal Church is now in ess.
sion here. There arc ovsr two hundred min
isters in attendance.
WASHINGTON LAYING THE CORNER STONE
or THE CAPITOL. —A correspondent of the
Bangor Whig tells the following very inter
esting anecdote of Washington:
"Recent events have recalled very forcibly
to my mind tbe following incident wbioh may
perhaps prove interesting to yiur readers at
tbe present time.
Bjiog on a visit to Washington during the
recess of Congress in the spring of 1857, I
walked one day with a friend to view the
works whiob warp already in progress for the
extension of the Capitol. As we sanntered
among the pillars in tbe basement of the old
building, we fell in with a venerable looking
man, having tbe appearance of a country
man, who seemed to be there upon the same
business that we were. We entered into
conversation with bim, and be informed ue
that he was a Virginian, 'raised' a few miles
fronv Mount Vernon. ' Very likely ; then,'
we remarked, ' you may recollect General
Washington.'
' Perfectly well' he replied. ' Indeed, I
saw hits when be laid the foundation of this
building. I was but a boy then,' he contin
ued, ' but I remember very distinctly bow be
looked as he stood in this way over the stone
and settled it in its place with a pry. It was
a huge stone, and %a placed, it must have re
quired no little strength to move it. But tbe
Geneaal was a very athletic man, and moved
it apparently with ease. There was a num
ber of boys tbere from our neighborhood,
and it was a standing marvel to us all, how
tbe General moved that stone. A few days
after, tbe General happened to be riding by
our school house on horseback, as we were
playing outside. We all pulled off our hats
to him and be stopped bis horse for a mo
ment and spoke to us very pleasantly. One
of the boys cried out, ' Please, General, tell
us how it was you moved that great stone, up
yonder, the other day ?' ' O yes, General,
you moved it, we all saw you.' ' Well boys,
said the General, looking very serious, and
speaking slowly, and shaking his long finger
as he spoke, ' Do you see that nobody moves
that stone again.'"
Cassics M. Clav, the new Minister to the
Court of SpaiD, was born in Madison county,
Ky., on the 19th of October, JBIO. After
studying in Transylvania University at Lex
ington, in that State, be entered the Junior
claes of Yale Colleg o , where he was gardua
ted in 1832, and returned to Kentucky. He
devoted himself to the law, and in 1835, was
elected to the State Legislature. He was re
elected in 1837, and in 1839 was a member
of the National Whig Convention at Harris
burg which nominated General Harrison for
President. Taking up his residence at Lex
ington be was eleoted to the Legislature in
1840. He was, however defeated in 1841,
owing to his opinions on the slavery question
which he everywhere fearlessly expressed.—
He denounded the scheme for the annexation
of Texas, and in 1844 traversed the Northern
States, addressing immense audiences in fa
vor of the Whig Presidential candidate. In
1845 be established the True American, an
emancipation journal, in Lexington, amid
great opposition. Upon the declaration of
war with Mexico, he entered the service as
captain of the " Old Infantry," a volunteer
company which had distinguised itself at the
battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. lie was taken
prisoner at Encarnacion in January, 1847. —
He was exchanged, and returned home in the
Autumn of that year, and was presented with
a sword in honor of bis services. In 1848 he
labored hard for the eleotion of Gen. Taylor,
and in 1850 presented himself as a candidate
for Governor of the State of Kentucky, on tLe
basia of a political oiganizatioa against slav
ery. He received some 5000 votes. He has
not since been a candidate before the people,
through active iu political life.
THE FINANCIAL RESULTS OF BUCHANAN'S
ADMINISTRATION. —Hon. John Sherman re
cently made, in the House of Representa
tives, a concise and very forcible exhibit of
the condition in which the national finances
arc placed. The absolute public debt nut*
standing at this moment, is no less than SB7,
000,000; and adding what is required to
satisfy the Choctaw and other Indian war
debts, to make good the Indian trust fund,
and other special objects, the amount of debt
becomes $90,188,904. The public debt, four
years ago, was only $29,090,386, against
which there was a balance in the treasury of
$17,710,114, making the net actual debt at
that time only $11,350,562. The increase of
debt in four years has been no less than SB4,
838.722, or at the rate of $21,500,000 per an
num.
EQy- " Antelope, " ths New York corres
pondent of the New Orleans Picayune, had a
look at President Lincoln while he was
there, and concludes that while therb is gen
iality and merited worth speaking from that
face, there is at the same time an iron cast
presented, and an indomitable will. Indeed,
at a first glance be reminded me of one of my
sledge hammers, with whieh I break rocks
at home—his body slender like the handle,
but tcpped off with a head all solidity, all
firm endurance, all iron. His bands, too,
are all muscle, and a strong grip from them
must be like the grasp of a vice.
Everybody is drunk in Charleston—
The houses are illuminated, and there ia a
general rejoicing over the contemplated sur
render of Fort Sumptor. South Carolinia
swears she has licked the eld Government,
and that the Confederacy is triumphant.—
Commissioners will shortly sail for Europe
to negotiate the recognition of ihe indepen
dence of the Southern Confederacy. So much
for Secession. They are gating on famously,
and if the Government and everyboey else
lets them alone a while longer they will get
np some sort of a paper nation.
Merchants visiting Philadelphia will
find the largest carpet warehouse, and the
largest and best stock of goods in the carpet
lino, at No. 509 Chestnut street, Messrs.
McCallum & Co.. Proprietors, possessing
great faoilitiss for manufacturing and im
porting extensively feel assured that they can
offer inducements to purobaseps. See their
card ia another column, and make a note of
it.
|@~The principles involved in the aur
render of Fort Sumpter is no more than that
at (take in giviDg up any other Fort. What
is the difference between giving up Fort
Sumpter and surrendering nny other piece
of Government property ? Have they not
got all our Forts in Texas ? Have they not
got the Mint at New Orleans ? Let them
have Fort Sumpter—it is of DO use to us.
" A GOOD SIGX." —The Anti Slavery Stan
dard denounces Mr. Lincoln's Inaugural a*
illiterate and not sufficiently hostile to the
South. The Charleston Mercury attacks it
also for its grammatical defects, and because
it is down on tha South. When these ex
tremes meet, it is evidenoe that the inaugu
ral must be nearer the right thing than we
a uppoeed.
J©- Prof- Sands, the celebrated wizard

readily, rendering them beautifully white and
pearly, without the slightest injury to tie enam

taste to the mouth, cleansing it thoroughly, and
imparting a delightful fragance to the breath.—
In short, it does all that could reasonably be ex

sukJCs. WBW They stimulate the function*
of the body into vigorous a
tivity, purify the system from
the obstructions which make
disease. A cold settles somewhere lu the body, and ob
etructs Its natural functions. These, if not relieved,
react upon themselves and the eurroundiug organs, pro
ducing general aggravation, suffering, and disease.
While in this condition, oppressed by the derangements,
take Ayer's Fills, and see how directly they reetore the
natural action of the system, and with It the buoyant
feeling of health again. What is true and so apparent la
this trivial and common complaint, is also true in many
of the deep-seated and dangerous distempers. The same
purgative effect expels them. Caused by similar obstruc
tions and derangements of the natural function* of the
body, they are rapidly, and many of them surely, cured
by the same means. None who know the virtues of these.
