S. T. Shugert, then presented the follow
ing Resolu ions which were unanimously
adopted :
Resolved, That the Democratic party is,
and always has been, true to the Up ion, the
Constitution and the laws, and that whilst
we adhere with.unwavering devotion to its
►organization as a conservator of right, tnete
iug to all classes, whether North or South,
equal and exact justice, we wage no war
upon 'he present legally constituted author
ities but. on the contrary recognize and
commend to them the great fundamental
duty of seeing "the laws faithfully exeeu
ted," whether in the suppression of Southern
rebellion, or infractions of the Constitution
and laws "elsewhere.
Resolved, That our union of States being
formed in peace and compromi ?e, and here
tofore maintained upon that basis as the
spirit of the Government, should be so held,
and, that whilst we would counsel no relaxa
tion in a determined purpose to crush the re
bellion now existlng-in one portion of our once
happy Union, at any cost and at any sacri
fice, it is no disloyalty to the Government —
il is 110 violotion of our duty as American
citizens—it is no sympathy with treason, to
prefer, and express the preference for an
honorable compromise of existing difficulties
at any period of the controversy.
Resolved, That the country being in a
state of war and the Government struggling
.for National existence, it is no time to dis
cuss the causes which produced the difficul
ties. or to countenance or encourege private,
sectional or political animosities. W.e
therefore proclaim ourselves loyal to the
whole Union, as our lathers made it, with
an unfaltering purpose to sustain and sun
port tile Administration in all proper efforts
to avert rebellion and establish the suprema
cy of the laws. To this end we recommend
10our fel'ow citizens of all parties, forbear
ance in a patriotic devot on and a single
purpose to aid, by all the means in our
power, a vigorous prosecution of the war to
a successful termination.
Resolved. That we have entire confidence
in the ability and patriotism of the gentle
men named by this Convention for the re
spective offices, and take pleasure in com
mending tho Ticket formed to the unanimous
and vigilant support of the Democracy of
Centre county.
Resolved, That we cordially endorse the
course that has been pursued by onr two
• Democratic papers—the Watchman and
Reporter—in boldly and fearlessly speaking
the truth, and hurling back, with indignity,
the charges of treason and disloyalty that
have been cast at the Democratic party by
the opposition press, and at the same time
they supported the military arm of the Gov
ernment, in maintaining the Union they
favored a pat, rful settlement of the difficul -
ties in which our nation is involved.
Southern Mechanics.
I he, Cincinnati Copitnercial publishes a
let' r to a r- be! soldier, found on tho hartle.
field of Rob M untaiti. It was written from
Georgia, and the following paragraph gives
tie important inform vi n of an intended
movement of the white agai;i3t the black
mechanics :
We are going to kick up hell in a small
way muoottKt us Mechanics ve aint agoing
to let the damn swell hyads tbar's got a few
nigg. s keep us down on a level .with their
nigg'is. We havo as good.a right to our
' igiits as an t Class of people on tcp of .God's
Earth, and I am a going to pitch in body and
aiicd against nigger mechanics, now is onr
'iuie ti assert pur rights, wo intend to make
the niggers fake the fields i r we will
every damn one of them wo find working at
any trade, we have had several meetings here
ibjiit tt, and with such good effait that we
have, got tiie good will of a large portion of
the sensible people..in town but there is a
few swell heads that kick against us like
h —ll, but we intend to bring tbpm round
with a j -rk. there is no use talki 'g as long
as we softer nigger mechanics we aint
no uto-c of than the niggers, 'he-'
have run ih-m all out of Atlanta so I heard
I l ope to God they, will ,rtvn : them out of
every damn place in the South. • Let them
put all the niggers in the field they w ill need
Gem 'here to unike someiingto eat or else
they w ill have to keen buying from (he North
usu il, hut if they put them ail in tiaid we
will be an independent nation in reality, for
we can raise enough to Eat on our own soil
and probably have some to eell instead of
having to buy * * if the mechanics through
out the whole S.uth dont put them down
they are a damn sett of as-cs as for my part
I intend to kick and nglit against them until
we root era out.
An Important Order.
The repcr-'ed order of Gen. McCiellan in
reference to a charge in the color of tin; uni
form to he worn by our troops, is one of the
greatest importance. On several occasions
since, the commencement of the rebellion have
disasters occurred from the mi.srakirig of our
enr-niies for our friends, through the similar
ity .ofthe uniforms, and it is not idle to sup
pose that in some great decisive conflict a
blunder of this sort may cause a disastrous
and even a ruinous defeat.
In the late great battle -near Springfield,
Missouri, it appears that our troops, mista
king a regiment of the rebels for one from
lowa, attempted no resistance till the enemy
were within pistol shot, and had poured in
upon thrin a most destructive fire. That
portion of our men opposing this rebel regi
ment lost heavily, fell into confusion, and
were rot again re-organized and brought, iu
to effective action throughout the whole COE
flict.. Ilad our men fired at them when with
in cannon or musket, range, and thsn char
ged, they doubtless would have repulsed and
thus have changed the order of the day.
We earnestly hope that the Government
will take step': to guard against such danger
ID the fuiure. Friend and foo must be dis
tinguishable at the distance of a mile,

EFFECTIVFNE-3 <>F THE HLOCKADS.
We shall probably hear very little more of
the ineffectiveness of the blockade. The en
ergetic efforts of the acting Sectetftty of the
Navy have been crowned wiih success. -There
are now one hundred and twenty-one ves
sels either actively employed in the bhuk
ade, or else being prepared for th.at service.
This includes the gun-boats, which, being
properly armed, aro the most effective ves
sels for th° service. The gun-boat Pinola.
now faing built at Baltimore, ia nearly com
pleted. It is a vessel of great strength, nnd
will have a powerful armament. It is un
der-tood that at an early day seme extensive
naval movements will be made, which will
putti very different c itnplexion on affairs in
Southern waters.
THE BALTIMORE PAPERS.
It will ho gratifying news to (he publish
ers and editors of Northern papers, to know
that the Government have at last determined
to prevent the Baltimore newspapers from
publishing the movement, nf troops, or any
news that will give t .e Rebels such infer-,
raation as may interfere with the crushing
of the Rebellion. The Union sheets, yf course,
willingly acceded to the request to refrain
from the publication, hut ilie Rebel organs
acquiesce with a bad g- ace. There are few
treasonable sliee's in the South more ultra
in their doctrines than the Exchange, llc
puUican and Eouih, to say Dothing of the
Nun.
Tney have published each day the arrival
and departure of regiments and companies,
with the respective numbers of each, evi- j
dentlv with the sole intention of having ihe !
information transmitted to Richmond, and !
thus laughed at and circumvented the, pra
cautioo taken by the papeis in the North.

The Rev. J. C. Fletcher gave us a brill
iant lecture on the religion, customs and peopjo
of Brazil. Seldom have we relished anything
more than the picture he laid before his audience
of that exuberant garden of tropics laden with its
strange variety of fruits and flowets, teeming with
perpetual harvest for hand of mau. Surely that
country must bo the garden ol the world, and if
its people had the enterprise which moves this
Yankee nation, imagination could not set a bound
to the results they >ould produce there. A rele
vant to this comparison the Revend gentleman
stated that the best Remedies employed there for
the diseases to which they are subjeet, inven
ted and supplied to them by our well known coun
tryman, Br. J. C. Ayer of Lo-.vel, .VI ass., and that
not the people paly but the priesth od and the
court ot tne Emperor down, have constant re
course in ,-iekness to the Remedies o' this widely
celebrated American Chemist..— Ledger, Jioston.
We take great pleasure in calling the at
i teution of our readers to the advertisement of
| Prof. Wood's Restorative Cordial and Blood Kens
| ovator. in another column of our paper. It is
! seldom v.e take ar.y notice of patent medicines,
but we cannot refrain from speaking of this Cors
dial, and do justice to the afflicted as well as our
selves. V.'e have wtt-hed the progress of this
Cordial since its first introduction to the public,
, and we aro satislied that tnere is nothing in use
: for cleansing the system and renovating the hood,
; that can be compared with Prof. Wood's Cordial.
; Any one suffering lrom gen rat debility, alter us
ing one bottle will see its beneficial effects. We
have had a long acquaintance with the proprietor,
and know him to 1 e skilled in the science cf med
icine; and anything compounded by him the pub
lic con rely upon as being just wh it it is recom
mended. We would advise all sick or well to get
a bottle. It is plpasanl to the ta to. and exhilar
ating to the system. But "we refrain from further
comments, as any one after using one bottle, will
be satislied as to its effects.
Reader, have you seen Prof. Wood's ad
vertisement in pur paper. Read it; It will inter
est you.
