The New York Day Book.
We believe in, and advocate Free epeech
and free men, but we cannot advocate in any
way " Free Treason." The Watchman allu
des to the fact that there were fanatics in the
county who desired and even threatened to
baog " Honest Democrats," for freely ex
pressing their opinions. We do not know
what the Watchman's ideaof an honest Dem
ocrat is, nor do we know what estimate they
put upon free speech. But one thing is cer
tain if they consider the Democrats hosest
who preached Treason until after the Proc
lamation cf President Lincoln was issued,
and even endeavored to prevent men from
enrolling themselves in the companies that
march from our county, we want to know
nothing more of such honest Democrats.—
No man was injured or threattned to be in
jured for exercising his freedom of epeech.
but it was free Treason that could not be
tolerated. Nor will it be. We are rejoiced
to know, that a great majority of our people
are loyal aud a unit in defence of the glori
ous STARS AND STRIPES.
. But the Watchman perhaps is not to blame
for its loose and ribald assertions, as it takes
its cue from the New York Day Book— a pa
per as full of treason—of aid and comfort
to the enemy as an egg is full of meat. We
have several copies of this paper in our po
seesion, and for the life of us, we cannot im
agine why the authorities iu New York per
mit its publication. It could not be publish
ed in Philadelphia. Why should treason be
perm'tted in New York; and why especially
should the nrir.ds of our honest unsuspect
ing citizens be contaminated and poisoned
against the Government by reading this
wicked,, this libellous aud treasonable sheet.
Why should these things be, we ask again,
when our 6ons our brothers fathers aud
friends use enduring all the hardships of a
soldiers life in defence of the Old Hag and
toe best Government God ever gave to man ?
We h >pe no honest Democrat or Republican
will, in any way, circulate this Day Book
of treason. No man should permit it to en
ter bis house. It will poison the minds of
bis children and perhaps make traitors of all
of them before they arrive at the years of
maturity, or entitled to exercise the right of
suffrage. We are in favor of free speech,
free discussion, but opposed to free Treason, j
Let traitors beware. The motto of every
loyal heart should he "Death to Traitors"
whether iD New York RS publishers of th e
Day Book, in Baltimore as puhlisheis of the
Sun, or in South Carolina as publishers of the
Cuarleston Mercury. The Post Masters who
aid in circulating this treasonable paper
should be removed at once by Pres dent Lin
coin and good loyal men put in their plaee.
We are happy to learn that it receives no
countenance from our old friend Capt. Cook,
Post Master in this Borough. The Captain
is a patriot and arid a gentleman,
This Day Book is the same paper that ad
vocated white slavery in 1857, and proposed
selling all poor foreigners info Slavery.. We
may refer to this subject again. Ir. the
meantime we hope that no man will be found
so disloyal as to read, or countenance in any i
way, the New York Day Book.
Do not be Misled.
We tbiok it part of our duty always to con
tradict ar;v slander against our principles or
our party which we may see published in
the Watchman or elsewhere, and we hardly
ever fail to pet form that duty. But the ar
ticle in the Watchman of last week will do its
own work,without any contradic i >n from us.
It is so glaringly false and foolishly absurd
(bat it cannot f. il to arouse the indignation
of ev<ry patrot in the county," and at the
same time create a deep feeling of comrnis
seration iu b half of the misled and benight*
*4 author tf the article. We do sincerely
hope that 6uch pieces will beget a spirit of
inquiry iu the minds of every honest and
loyal man in the county. The time hasoorne
for people to be indepondeut, to think, to
speak and to ',.JT themselves. A man, wo.
bold, who will do his own reading and think
log cannot lng remain in that once great
and powerful, lu: now broken and disband
ed organization—the Democratic party. In
dependence it what we want. The Republi
can cause, which is now the only hope of the
country, ronrts investigat 00. Ic seeks the
light. The more intelligent the people, the
more complete and glorious will be the tri
umph of our great priuciplo, the elevation
of labor, equal rights, and justice tempered
with meroy. We hope our neighbors of the
Watchman will yet live to eee that they are j
in error deep and dark, and when they do we
j believe tbey will have the honesty and the
I manhood to confess it, and give their read
| ,jrß l ' ie benefit ot their research. Hoping
j for their speedy conversion from wrong to
j f'ght, we shall not interfere much with their
! cogitations either uttered or unexpressed, hut
; we must call upon the honest people of Cen
tre to remember that the days of dema
gogueism have passed away, and that it is
their duty as patriots to study both sides of
all questions and thus elicit the truth.
Shall it be Destroyed ?
This beautiful land, shall it be destroyed ?
When we think of the rebellion at the south,
and consider its apparent objects, this is the
question that naturally occurs to our mind.
These objects are not to extend the lreedom
of speech—the liberty of the press- the li
cense of academies of learning—the right of
property in the North—the privilege of the
franchise—self e'evation, protection and ed
ucation. All those rights are already guar
antied to the people in all the States. The
Constitution of the United States casts its
broad provisions over the humblest hamlet in
the land, to vouchsafe all the rights we have
attempted to enumerate, to all its occupants.
No man would acknowledge th it he has been
deprived of the exercise of any of these, be
cause the acknowledgment would be the ev
idence of his own degradation and abase
ment. We are alt too proud of such rights to
admit their infringement. The people in the
South, themselves, are too sensitive aod chiv
alrous to permit the impression to g> forth
that they could be oppressed. Toen what are
they contending for ? Simply to destroy this
beautiful land. To wipe out freedom and
substitute slavery. To dig down the altera
of a pure religion and rear others on which
to sacrifice the interests of a noble humani
ty, love, affection, hope and joy. To make
the pulpit a mockery by muzzliDg it always
when it seeks the discussion of any subject
save the adulation of wrong and thedefenee
of licentiousness. To bold the press in check
with the )a6h nl blind its freedom with the
thong. To erect barriers in the path of pro
gress, and compel ciiilization to cast its tro
phies at the feet of barbarism. To close the
free schiols, because education is inimical to
oppression. To compel government to rec
ognizß the superiority of classes by denying
the right of whole communities. These are
objects of this rebellion. And with their
achievement follows the destruction of tnis
beautiful land. It can not be otherwise when
thesymotry of the Union is attempted to be
marred or destroyed by its dissolution. It
cannot be otherwise if another flag floats
from our hill or casts its shadows in our
vaUies, to attempt the corruption of the
tarie3 of the stars and stripes. It cannot he
otherwise, if we attempt to erect two shrines
before which to worship liberty—because
liberty, like religion, has but one shrine
throughout the world. All the good that we
ever achieved—all the majesty of our laws—
all iha purity of our system, with tbe safety
of our policy of government, sink forever
with the success of the rebellion with which
our armies are now contending. It is not a
struggle of right against might. It is not a
contest even for a theory or a dogma. The
fight is for an open and admitted wrong on
one side, slavery— while on the other it is a
noble combat to save this beautiful land. To
maintain its commonwealths in union and
harmony. To preserve its power unimpair
ed at hom6 and abroad. To vindicate its
laws and maintain its authority. This beau
tiful land, SHALL IT BE DESTROYED ?'
For the Democrat.
MR. BROWN :
I sen j you a copy of the eele.
brated New York Day Book, for your inspec
tion. I suppose you know wnat true patriot
ism consists in, and I trust we shall have
your opinion of this filthy sheet, through the
columns of the Centre Democrat. I consider
it a mean, treasonable sheet, calculated to
lead astray good, honest Union mcD. There
are a number of men, whose names I could
give, in Potter township, who before taking
this contemptable sheet, were loyal hearted
Uoion men ; but since they have read the
treasonable doctrines con'ained therein, they
talk treason pretty freely. Some of them
say that-the sentiments expressed are as
true as the Bible. But we are inclined to
make allowance for it& readers, as it has its
circulation among a class of men who scarce
ly ever see any paper but the Watchman or
the Berichter : and if they do get a paper of
the right stripe they are too pr'judiced to read
it. There are also a number ot men taking
the Day Book, who never took any paper be
fore. To send you this I consider a part of
my duty as a member of the Vigilance Com
mittee. I think traitors must be watched,
in these perilous times. lam sorry to say
that there is not that loyalty in Potter town
ship that there should be, or the flag of our
country, would not have been insulted as it
has been.

The Next Election.
MR. BRISBIN :
Sir l have been for some
time casting about me, for the purpose of
finding some man to be the successor o r Col.
W. W. Brown, in the office of County Treas
urer. Col. Brown has made a most excel
lent oflner, and now that the question arises
who will take his place, and at the same time
hoßor the great Republ.can party? I take
it for granted that no better man can be
found than Daniel MeGinley of our own Bor
ough. Mr. MeGinley is an industrious bard
working mechanic,, a sound Republican, and
deserves something handsome from his par",
ty I feel confident that he can be nomina
ted, anl if nominated, eleeted without any
difficulty. I hope you will, ie view of these
facts, announce his name as a candidate for
the office of County Treasurer, subjeot to the
decision of the Republican Convection to be
he'd on Wednesday evening of the August
Court.
By inserting the above you will accommo
date the mechanics and workingmen of Belle. '

Sepnration from the Union, "Vas
salage to European Monarchies.
That the leaders of the Southern rebellion
i base their hopes of success upon the expecta
tion that a want f cotton, and the desire to
have access to the Southern markets, will
induce the chief ration of Europe to recog
nize them, can scarcely be doubted. They
are at the same time aware of the fact that
those nations will be exceedingly loth to give
offence to t! e United States, who, in time of
prosperity, are their best customers. It can
hardly be possible, therefore, that they can
fail to perceive that in order to purchase re
cognition ftom England and France, they
must pay a heavy price for it. This can be
nothing short of free access to their ports,
for the ships and merchandize of nations,
which will take good care to prevent the
growth of factories of any kind calculated to
compete with those on the other side of the
Atlantic. The power and wealth of these
great nations has resulted from the encour
agement which they have given to ths use
ful arts; but to retain theii superiority tbey
must prevent the fostering ot the same arts
in this country ; and, therefore, if they con
sent to make a great sacrifice, to secure the
seperation of the Southern States, they will
insist that no duties upon imports shall be
imposed which will interfere with tbo sale
of the products of their factories and forges.
They will in effect require that Eng'and and
France sha'l have the commerce aod manu
facturing of the Cotton Confederacy, while
the latter confines itself to agriculture.
Every one who has read history intelligent
ly. knows that nations do not make sacrifices
without expecting an equivalent, and also
that those weak countries which look to
stronger ones for aid, always pay for it by a
sacrifice of their independence.
If it were true that the General Govern
ment intended to oppress the South, their
rebellion if successful, would be but chang
ing from one oppressor to another. Without
commerce and the mechanic arts, no nation
can riee to the position of an independent
power; for it is machinery, and the means
of transportation, which make the wealth and
strength of a people,
In viewing the insurrection in its industri
al aspects, we cannot fail to perceive that the
rebels have rushed into a war to accomplish
objects, just the reverse of those for which
our ancestors contended in the days of tL e
Revolution. Then the aim was to prevent
England's efforts to crush our incipient
attempts to manufacture the fabrics, imple
ments and machinery, needed in our own
country ; now the secessionists desire sepe
ration, in order to open their ports to the
manufacturers of Europe. If they could
succeed, their movement would very properly
he termed a revolution ; for by it they would
get back to the position in which our fathers
were, before the Revolution of 1773. The
Americans at that time fought for indepen
dence lrom the rapacious capitalists of Eu
rope, who devoured their substance and kept
them in subjection ; the rebels of our time
fight for the privilege of returning to that
condition of vassalage, from which our count*
ry for nearly a century has been free.
Under the Constitution our Union secured
to the people of every section, the right to
pursue any useful branch of business ; and
this industrial treedom, although insuffi
ciently fostered by protective laws, has been
the cause of the great physical wealth and
development, which has in aghoit time ele
vated us to the position of one of the great
Nations ol the Earth. Is it not, therefore,
the insanity of ambition and folly, which
leads men to strive for the privilege of taking
a retrograde step in civilization ?

County Treasurer.
COL. W. W. BROWN":—
The time for select
ing a person to fill the office of County Treas
urer is drawing near, and therefore, I would
suggest the name of Francis Jodon, as a can
didate for the office that you are now filling
with so much success to yourself and honor
to the party that elected you. We know of
no man so well calculated to be your succes
sor as Mr- Jodon. lie is a farmer, in good
circumstances, and would make a most ex
cdlent officer. We would, in view of these
facts, suggest his name as a candidate for
the office of Cjnn'y Treasurer, subject, of.
course, to the decision of the Republican
Convention to be held, in accordance with
the usages of the party, on Wednesday even
ing of the August Court, Please give this
an insertion in your valuable paper, and
oblige many citizens of SPRING.
The Financial Condition of our
Country.
It needed a great war, and its consequent
interruption of commerce, to enable the peo
ple of this country to understand their in
trinsic power and resources, and to see how
foolishly for years past we have been wast
ing the substantial wealth of the land. We
have often remarked that America was, in a
commercial point of view, hut a great goose,
which laid goiden eggs for the manufactur
ing nations of the World; and the tact
that with greatly diminished exports, the
stream of gold continues to flow in, proves
how vast might be the wealth and business
of our country under a more favorable policy.
The paragraph below shows the reason why
our English neighbors are so anxious to have
an end put to our civil war :
INFLUX OF SPECIE. —The English Bankers
are alaruit d it the large indebtedness of their
country to the United States. The amount
of specie remitted us since the 28th of No=>
vember last, has reached the enormous sum
of twent y-nino millions of dollars. The Daily
News admits that A merica "holds the strings
of the specie movement in its hands."
Jg@ t, The Pennsylvania troops in Wash
ington city since they have received their
new suits, are pronounced the best armed
soldiers in the capital. They look well—ap
pear to feel well—and will fight well. So
much for clean shirts and whole breeches.
Jfca?" The law of the Confederates requires
their soldiers to provide their own clothing,
but " they shall be entitled to money" in
lieu therefore. It don't say a word about
when or where tbey will get it !
The President uud the Secretary o'"
War are engaged in visiting the encamp
ments on both sides the Potomac riv er, in
specting their organization and looki i g after
the comfort of the troops.

Uuiou men.
WASHINGTON, June, 14.—C01. John W.
Forney is making a strong effort to be re
elected Cierk of the House. He has a for
midable opponent in Eaierson Etheridge, of
Ttnnessee, an Ex-member of .'he House.—
Mr. Etheridge is waimiy supported by lion.
Tbaddeus S.ephens. ' Col. Forney's alleged
interest with Contractors has injured his
prospects very mueb. in addition to this,
some of the more ultra Republicans say that
he has already been sufficiently paid for bis
-ervices by the party. Col. Forney has the
support ot the President.
It will be a source oi' gratification to the
frieDds of the soldiers in the various Penn
sylvania Regiments here, to learn that they
are well fed and clothed.
In uniform and drill they now compare
favorably with any of the regiments in tb ; s
vicinity. The boys strut around very pioud
ly ia their new Suits which are weii made of
the best material.
The result ol Gen. Pierce's incapacity at
Great Bethel has bnugbt to light a deep
feeling which exists among the subordinate
officers and men in the regular army. They
say that they are unwilling to be butchered
through the incompetency ot civilians hold
ing posts as field officers. The term of en
listment of many of the privates in the reg
ular army will expire in a month, and they
declare thev will uot re-enlist if the efficirs
appointed from civilians are to be contiuued.
Tbey say they will stand by the country and
the flag ; but tbey cannot bear the disgrace
of being led on to defeat and confusion, in
order that political hacks may be rewarded.
Hon. Anson Burlingame has been appoint
ed Minister to China, ia view of the refusal
of Austria to receive him.
Gun. Scott has ordered ten mere regiments
here immediately, most from the interior of
Now York State.
BY TUESDAY EVENING MAILS.
WASHINGTON, June 16. -Gen. Sco't was
heard to say yesfer Jay that he would have
captured the rebels at Harper's Ferry and
all their munitions of War. had it not been
for the new paper pres6, in their anxiety to
give the early news, keeping the rebels post
ed up in every movement of the U. S. troops.
He said "I would rather have one hundred
rebel spies in my camp than one newspaper
reporter !"
President Liacoln and Secretary Seward
visited the different encampments en the op
posite side of the Potomac yesterday after
noon. They were enthusiastically received.
Reliable information has been received by
Gen. Scott of an unusual stir in the Rebel
Came at Manassas Junction, Preparations,
evidently indicating an intention to break up
the camp, were being made by a large por
tion of their foices- It is thought probably
in military circles here that a stroog body of
insurgents will be moved from the Junction,
to meet in the vicinity of Winchester the
troops beleived to be ordered to retreat to the
same point from Harper's Ferry, and that
the united foices will offer battle to ths Fed
army about invading Virginia from Southern
Pennsylvania through Maryland.
A report was prevalent this afternoon, that
a large body of Rebel troops had advanced
to within ten miles of Alexandria. It is
most probable, however, that this rumor was
started by the Rebels or the sympathizers, to
cover their retreat from Manassas Junction
to Richmond. It is generally believed that
their intention is to fall back in this man
ner.
Official dispatches from Harper's Ferry to
the War Department represent the most com*
plete desolation at that place.
The War Department has issued no order
prohibiting the transmission of news of war
movements.
Both of the halls of Congress are shout
ready for occupation. The summer dress
will be beautiful beyoud precedent.
Two regiments ot the rebels arrived a'
Fairfax to-day from Manassas Juootive.—
There is no doubt of this.
Reliable information was received today
at Alexandria fully confirming the rumors of
the reinforcement of Fairfax Court House by
the rebels at Manassas Junction, and indica
ting, from every point, offensive rather than
defensive movements on their part. In the
meanwhile there need be no fears that the
government is idle. The most extensive and
complete preparations have been made. No
surprise is possible, unless the rebels devise
some plan which will outwit steam and light
uing.
Fort Corcoran is being we'.l mounted with
forty-five pounders. New entreuchmeuts
are being thrown up from the fort to the
river line, commanding the border of the riv
er for miles.
There is every indication to-night that the
Sixrynintb regiment will move toward Fair
fax Court House before mcrning.
One of the most remarkable features of
Secretary Floyd's maladministration was the
unblushing and unconcealed manner o: his
•' peculiar transactions." An investigation
discloses the fact that, in a most reckless
manner, and.at great pecuniary sacrifice, be
sold as old iron some of the best guns in the
ps tession of the RecenCdevel
optnents show that a short time prior to the
outgoing of Buchanan's administration,
Floyd sold to a locomotive machine shop in
New Jersey nearly two dozen very large guns
averaging 7.000 pounds each, at the nominal
pries of S2O per ton. The guns were sold as
old iron, though worth at least fifty cents p.er
pound. When taken to the machine shop
the attempt was made to break them in the
ordinary manner, but it was found to be a
physical impossibility. Finally they were
put in a lathe, and in that way wrenched to
peices. Several of them are yet unbroken,
and the department will probably repurchase
them.
JEFFERSON CITY, MO., June 15.—The cap
ital of Missouri was taken possession of. at
2 o'clock this afternoon, on the arrival of the
pteamer Satan, by five companies of Col.
Blair's regiment, of Missouri Volunteers, un
der command-of Lieut. Col. Andrews, and a
company of regular Artillery under Capt.
Totten, all under command of Brig. Gen.
Lyon.
Gov. Jackson and the leading Secessionists
left the city at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of
the 13th inst. The troops manifested much
disappointment on finding that the enemy
had fled, 'l'be officers, however, expressed
no surprise, as tbey had been informed of
the evacuation, previously.
ARMS FOR THE PENNSYLVANIA TROOPS—
The federal government has notified the
Governor of Pennsylvania that be will be
furnished immediately with ten thousand
stand of arms, for the purpose of armißg the
reserve corpse as soon as tbey are forwarded
from the general government. The State
authorities are making arrangements to pur
chase a supply of rifles. The arms to be iur
nished by the War Deparment were applied
for by the state authorities.
j BY WEDNESDAY EVENING MAILS.
WASHINGTON, Jtioe, 17—Reliable informa
tion continues to be received that the rebels
are advancing on Fairfax. Our troops con
tinue to be sent over into Virginia as fast as
they arrive here. *
Ihe District volvnteers are in possession
of Leesburg.
It is beieived that the Government will
hang the pirates captured on the privateer
Savannah, Theie is a general feeliDg in fa

The Secretary of the Treasury has his re
port ma lv ready for Congress.
The National Intelligencer of to-day says,
that unless it receives support from the
North, it will have to suspend, 'tscireula
tion among the Union ueu of the South is
now entirely cut iff, and besides, money
owing to it at the South cannot be remitted.
The President, who is busy with his mes
sage. will, it is said, recommend a call for
500 000 men and an aDpropriation of $200,-
000 000, as the shortest mode of putting down
the rebellion. He has received assurances
lrom State Governors. Senators, Congress
men and others, that such recommendations
will be approved by Congress and the peo

[SPEClAL DISPATCH TO THE WORLD.]
POINT OF ROCKS, June 15.
Your reporter landed on the Virginia side
at Llarper's Feriy at 2 p. M. and was the lirst
Union man who crossed there. 1 found the
town nearly desilate. Not a military soldier
was visible, and only a few of the poorer
classes were to be seen on the streets. The
best bouses were all closed. John Brown's
engine house and magazine and the armory
buildings were only partially burned.
Thiee cars loaded with grain and coffee for
Winchester, for lack of engines to haul them,
were emptied into the river ou Friday and a
lot of cotton also. The cars were marked
Miller Rifles, Winchester. Five trucks load
ed with machinery and pipes rtand in frout
of the hotel, marked Richmond Armory.—
Fifty flint lock muskets were thrown into the
river, and a number of boys were busily en
gaged Asking them out.
At the camp grounds in the rear of the
town nothing was left of any value. The
town and surrounding country present the
most desolate appearance ever seen.
A physician who was tending the troops
say that about fifty of the Mississippi and
Alabama men were down with the measles,
and will probably lose their hearing. 'J hey
were ordeied to leave there twenty 1 u hours
before tbey did, and one of Gen. Juiin son's
staff said that the f deral troops were going
to take Winchester and fortify it to cut them
off. They would now go there and be rein
forced from Richmond, Near the buildings
that were burnt in April a quantity of mus
ket barrels were gathered iu piles.
The accounts of the number in the camp
vary from fifteen to ttventy-two thousand.—
A'.i were uniformed according to the fancy
and mt-aus of the town they came from. No
side arms were* allowed in the camp, except
in the case of commissioned officers. The
Kentucky and Mississippi troops said they
came there to fight, and were eager to go up
and sake Washington on their own account.
1 secured a lot of bayonets and pieces of
muskets as mementoes, and left ar 5 o'clock.
The inhabitants were rejoicing greatly
over the evaMation. A piece of a Virginia
flag placed tnere in April still remains on
the top of a pole, as the rope is broken by
which it would be hauled down. No othe
flag of any kind is in the town.
A Captain Young cams down on the train
that left the Relay House at 9 o'c'o k, wii ha
sword and two trunks which, judging from
their weight, were no doubt filled with per
cussion caps. lie said at the Ferry that be
was going to Richmonl. Ile bad command
of a company of Baltimore meu in the ser
vice of the conle leracv.
At Point of Rocks sixty-four cavalry are
still reported to be across the Potomac. The
rear of the main body of troops was only ten
miles from the Ferry ot noon.
slave plantations women are re
garded as chatties when bought and sold,
and as auimals when flogged. The austere
decencies v h oh paganism observed in its
better days, are iheie set aside. A chapter
in Mr. Olmstead's last book on the South
shows how he was accidentally witness of a
scene one of the constant necessities of plan
tations, hut seldom encountered by travel
. ers—t woman stripped and flogged. \Ve are
never surprised in hearing of ;ij brutuiity
or barbarism toward the slave woman, nor
need we now be astonished at similar vio
lence offered the free white women hv South
ern m ihs, inspired by the Montgomery lead
ers. We consider it, therefore, no subject for
special wonder or indignation to learn, as we
do, through the Syracuse Journal, on the au
thority of Dr. Martin McQueen, a native of
Boston, of such an instance. Dr. McQueen
was forced out ef San Antonio, Texes, for
his loyalty to the Union. The day before he
came away, he saw a woman from Boston,
Massachusetts, stripped naked in the public
streets, tarred and feathered, and rode on a
rail around the public square, with a Seces
sion flag on each side, a crowd conducting
the orgies. The same week Charles San
born, of Haverhill. Mass., and Franc s Kid
der, of Lawrence, Mass., weie hanged by a
mob. The crime of the three was attach
ment to the Union.
THE TOMB OF SENATOR DOCGLASJ —The Chi
cago l'ost says the spot chosen for the tomb
of Senator Douglas is a high ridge or knoll at
the Southeast corner of Cottage Grove, on
the lake shore. It is a point of land extend
ing much farther into the lake'than any por
tion of the shore to the northwest of it.—
Standing on the spot where the tomb is
located, a fine view is had of the city, ap
pearing as it were across a bay, whose noble
inland sweep is doited with lake shore resi
dences.
On this spot Mrs. Douglas is the owner in
fee, independent of her late husband, of an
acre and a hall of ground. It was selected
by her some years ago on account of the
beauty of site for a residence, and the fee in
the ground was at the same time conveyed
to her. The view afforded, and wbioh, from
the peculiar situation of the land, can never
be obstructed by buildings, is probably the
finest in or near the city.
The tomb now prepared is only a tempo
rary one, of brick masonry, raised only three
or four feet above the surface, and extending
seven feet below it.
THE THREE MILLION LOAN.—The bids for
the $3,000,000 six per ceut. loan of the Com
monwaltb of Pennsylvania, were opeued at
liarrisburg, on Tnursday last, and amounted
to $3,090,650, there being over Dine y thou
sand dollars more offered than was asked
for. The promptness with which capitalists
have responded to the call fir the ** sinews
of war," in support of the Government,shows
unerringly where the heart of the Old Key
stone is in this contest between loyalty and
rebellion, and must have its effect not only
throughout our own country, but in Europe.

For the Demecrat.
COL. BROWS :
Dear Sir: —l notice by
the Press that there are some persona already
forsh ad owing their purpose in the coming
!on est this fall, by commencing now to pre
pare the public mind for the overthrow of
the - Republican party by a mushroon con-
I cern, styled the Union Party. Now it is
known that at least some of these persons are
the same old fogies who, in former years,
were continually catching at something new,
anil never sticking to any name or principle
! long enough to concentrate the people on any
! principle they bbd espoused, and Consequent
ly kept the true men of principle disgusted
and disheartened wish their continual vacil
lation, andconsequently kept the party in the
minority, and never did we begin to assume
our true dignity, importance and power as a
party until yourself and a few other men of
stability in each town and township deter*
mined to change this way of doing things,
and resolved to keep up their organization in
township and county election, as well as
State, the result of which has been that the
true men of all parties seeing the rectitude
of our glorious principles, and their great su
periority over the time-serving platfo ms
laid down by our opponents, have come over
to our standard until we have been enable to
carry thoso principles in triumph over all
opposition, and in connection with our party
elsewhere, just in time to save our country
from entire overthrow. 1 ask, shall we now,
j fur the especial benefit of a few wh) have
: placed themselves in a bad position before
the community, now that our party has
shewn to the country that it is the only true
Union party, aDd the only party that can
sava the country from the power of dema
gogueism, "rounded aristocracy," tjrtnry
and oppression, in a word the only pa ty that
can restore permanent peace to the country
by crushing out rebellion—shall we, I ask
now drop that party organization and adopt
another of which we know nothing, either of
principle or purpose? I answer—and the
people of Centre county will emphatically
an wer, No! Such an am ngement may be
made in Bellefonte, and by it defeat the par
ty in the county. Every man that 1 fcave
heard express himself on the subject, has on
ly spoken in condemnation of the pnject, and
will not consent thus to " kill the party,"
but wiil sooner euff r defeat in defence oi
their principles than join in thearrangemeDt,
and " death" to the men that will enter into
such an arrangemeot for its overthrow. If
there are Democrats that want place let them
join the Republicans in their endeavor to re
store the country to its original purity; but
if tbey are more wedded to a corrupt j arty i
than their country, let thrm "jog on," and
i other men have made a mistake let them |
Show by a hearty repentance "that they were
deceived ; but in Heavens name let there be
no changing of party name or organization
cow. A REPUBLICAN.

££§"* Young Ellsworth's death, at the
opeuing of the eeaond War for Liberty, re
minds us cf the fall of Warren at Bunker's
Hill. Both were young men, natives ol Free
States, of great promise. Both were mur
dered, after the contest was virtually ended
—and both names gave energy and inspira
tion to their fellows. One fell with victory
on his lips—the other enshruuded with the
gloom of a temporary defeat.
11. Clay M'Allister, one of the watch
men on the Northern Central Railroad, who
was arrested and bound and compelled to
witness the burning of the bridge he had in
charge, by the ineendiaries under Merriman,
is now a captain-of a tunicary company in
Baltimore county. McAllister is a Pennsyl
vanian, and would make an excellant witness
in the Merriman trial, because lie was pres
ent during the perpetration of the outrages
charged to Merriman.
A Richmond paper speaks of the 'cobblers
and greasy operatives of Massachusetts.'—
They will probably stick to the last, and be
much too slippery for the chivalry to catch.
