S. nism may run to such extremes as to weaken the com mon cause, and to encourage the common enemy. One thing is sure : No Cabinet minister, in the existing state of tho public mind, can commit a flagrat wrong without being detected, denounced and disgraced—and among the first to assist in the chastisement of such an offender will be XHB I'RBSS." Our Ticket. The Republican convention which met on Wednesday Evening of the August Court plftced in nomination the ticket which we have raised to our mast head, and which we intend to keep there until after the Octo ber Election, when we L e it will be tri umphantly ejected. It is true that the Dem ocratic leaders repudiated rhe offer, from the Republicans, of a Union Ticket and placed in nomination a ticket of their own, Aad such a ticket 1 We cannot believe that the honest yeomanry of Centre county will elect it.— There are upon that ticket at least two se cession Democrats, and at least one reDcgadc Whig and Know-nothing. Not a man in the whole Democratic party fit for County Treas urer, C. Derr and Joseph Wilson and others, life long Democrats, were nowhere when that nomination was made. To please a certain class, Merchants, Farmers and mechanics, must be sat to one side for the present and a professional man, a Doctor must be nominated, no matter whether be has been a Democrat or a Whig or Know Nothing. It does appear to us that these Democratic leaders can suit them selves to anything. Nothing is too incons'.s tant for them, so that they can secure the offices for some favorite of the Bsllefonte clique 1 Will tho honest Democrats of Cen tre county endorse this Bellefonte clique, this worse than hierarchy which seeks to control the politics of Centre county? We believe they wi 1 repudiate the who.le thing and therefore we call the attention of all the tax payers of this county to our ticket. The ticket in favor of tbe War and its speedy and glorious consumation. Farmers of Centre if you do not want your taxes increased so as to become a butden, you will vote in favor of that ticket which is in favor of tbe present state and national Administrations, For Assembly we offer you SAMUEL McWILLIAMS, ESQ. Mr McWilliaras is well known to the peo ple of Centre County. lie is a Farmer, a young man of energy and ability, competent to fill almost any post in the gift of a sover eign people, A Blacksmith by trade, he knows how to sympathize with the mechanic, and having been Educated in the schoolof pov ertv although now a farmer, he knows how to sympathies and legislate for the best inter ests of every man who is compelled to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. Between him and Robert Barron the Democratic Nominee, there can be no comparison. Mr. McVVilliams is honest, a Union and loyal man, competent for the pest which his friends have called upon him to fill. If the people of Centre are true to tbsir own interests they will vote for SASJL MCWILLIAIS, The next on the ticket is C G RYMAN, for County Treasurer, Mr, Rvman is a choice spirit, the noblest work of God, an honest man. Starting in life a poor boy, without friends or patrons, he has worked himself up to his present proud position, the Republican nominee for the most important office in the County. And that nomination he secured without any trickery or legerde main It was the work of the people, the gift of the people. Will the people, the working tneD, the farmers andraeohanios of Centre endorse that action ? Will they vote fb? one of their own class of men, in prefer ence to the friend and patron of the Belle fonte clique ? Working men of centre if you "THE C33SS3WGPH3E! DEMOCRAT. have any ambition, if yon ever desire to rise yourself, then we call upon you by all you hold dear and sacred, vote for a man of your own class, in preferense to any one e'se- Is it so, has it come to that, that the farmers mechanics and daily labors, are to have no voice, no representation in our national af fairs ? Must even our county offices be filled with Professional men? Is nobody but a Doctor fit for County Treasurer? By the action of the Democratic Convention, it would seem not. Jos. Wilson a farmer was not fit. C. Darr a merchant was not fit, although both have been coDsistant Democrats all their lives. No body was competant to serve thepeoplein their estimation, but Dr. Mitch ell a renegate Whig and Know nothing, If the bonest Democrats of Centre, the bard fisted yeomanry will stand this, we cannot tell against what indignity they would revolt. But to our text. Mr. Ryman is a good, an honest man, and we sincerely hope that every good honest and loyal man in Centre County will vote for him, and thus elect him to the office he is so well calculated to fill.— For the office of Commissioner we have THOMAS HUTCHISON, ESQ. Mr Hutchison has been Commissioner for tho last three years. He has made one of the best Commissioners Centre county has evar bad. In coroboration of this assertion the office and books are open at all times for inspection. Every tax payer in the county can see them if he desires so to do. It would in our opinion be a great calamity to the tax payers of this county if Mr. Hutchison were Dot re-elected. He now understands the routine of the office, and from the experience acquired in the past three years is better prepared to take care of the interests of the county than any inexperienaed man can possibly be. Mr. Hutchison has two sons in the War for the Union, and this fact alone should secure Lim the suffrages of every loy al and Union loving citizen. Away with personalities in a contest like this, The man is not a patriot who would falter at a time when Lis country and his principles need his support. Old as Mr. Hutchison is, if the necessities of the times require it, notwithstanding he has two sons in the army he would sacrifice every thing and go to the war, to fight for the Uuion and the glorious Stars and Stripes. For Associate Judges we offer the people of Centre— JACOB BAKER ESQ. PETER WILSON ESQ. Two better men could not be found in the Couuty for tbe post. It is true we had sev eral men out for the nomination just as good but they did not sein to be tbe lucky persons this time. The people in the majesty of their power selected Messrs. Baker and Wil son. These men are both good and true, loyal and upright. Not secessionists or sympathizers with the South as 6ome other aspirants we know, and of whom we will have something to say in a few weeks The people of Centre will do well to vote for Messrs. Wilson and Baker. If you do so no person will ever doubt your loyalty, and we are sure this is more than can be said of you, if you vote for Messrs. Proudfoot and S robecker, For Auditor we offer tbe peo ple J. H. McCLURE ESQ. Mr. McClure is a mechanic, a Saddler by trade, a good accountant, and business man, as his whole life proves. Starting in the world a poor boy, be has by his industry ao cumulated a competency, and is now able to rent houses, even to Lawyers— Shavers.— This proves that he is just the man for Aud itor, one of the most responsible, but least remunerative ofSces in tho county. It is his business to settle with the Sheriff the Treas ure and the Commissioners of tho County. Mr. McClure is just the mas for the times and place, and we hope every loyal man in thocounty will give him, his hearty and cordial support. Honest men of all parties we call upon you to support the above named ticket. By so doing you will endorse the War, the Ad ministration and the enforcement of the laws. You will vote to quell and subjugate Rebellion, perpetuate our glorious liberties and at the same time to diminish taxes, and enhance rabor and its prices. Will you do it ? Let the second Tuesday of October next answer. Col. Win. H. Blair. "W. 11. Blair, an old line Breckinridge Demo crat, by some moans has succeeded in getting Che endorsement of the Republican Convention of Centre county as a candidate for State Senator.— Probably our old Republican friends in tbat coun ty immagined tbat as Blair ran so well just beforo the battle of Manassas, he having been attached to the ever memorable and redoubtablo Fourth rogiiront of Pennsylvania, he will run equally weil as a senatorial candidate. Will the Centre Democrat or the Centred J'ress explain the leger demain by which the delegates to the Republican Convention were so completely hood-winked P We cherish a pride not only for the Republican party of Centre county, but for her entire popula* tion, and therefore feel an interest in the nomina tion, because we have a regard for the integrity of their representation."— Harrisburg Telegraph. Well said, gentlemen of the Telegraph of fice 1 Col. V> m. 11. Blair is a " Rara avis in lerus," in politics. We know him, and by that wc meaD we know him well. The Re publican Convention did not endorse Col. Blair. His endorsement was brought up in the Convention, and if we are correctly in formed, was voted down. 'Whereupon a cer tain gentleman, an assumed leader, tut not recognized, of ths Republican party, threat ened to blow up the Convention if his wishes wore Dot puccumbed to. The Convention listened to the harangue and the threats, and concluding that it could do no harm, agreed to let the motion pass, about 11 voting for and about 00 neither voting aye or nay ! The fact is the Republicans and honest Dam-- ocrats of Centre know Col. Wm H. Blair too well to endorse him in any particular, aDd especially in his politics. In 1840 be started out in his political life in Milesburg, carrying the " Tippecanoe and Tyler too" flag. Finding tbat Centre county was to be. in his opinion, in the future, as in the past, a Democratic county ; and sooner die than work he professes to turn Demo cratic, becomes editor of the Centre Demo crat, at that time the organ of the Democrat ic party, in which like all other political ren~ egades or deserters of principle, he becomes, through its column s, the most obscene ven- dcr of wholesale slander against his old pox litical party. By bis political secession trick ery he cast aside firm and consistent Demo* crats and procured his nomination for the Legislature. Was elected. Went to Har risburg and boarded with Mr. Lutz, a nd hereby hangs a talel lie next trys to be elected County Treasurer, and was defeated by the honest portion of the Democracy of Centre county. Since that time he has nev er permitted a chance to pass, to get himself into a position, in which the tax payers of the county would have to sustain him. In many of his schemes and concatenations he failed. But after the last election, he fixed his eye steadily upon being the next Demo cratic candidate for State Senator, and made his arrangements with 11. L. Dieffenbauch of Lock Haven, who never fleeced the State by coal contracts, dec, (of coarse he did not,) to be the Democratic candidate for State Sena tor. And when this rebel war broke out, af ter talking secession until be was asham ed of himself, he united with one of the com* panies from this county ; went to Washing ton city, while he left his friends to keep his name before the public as a candidate for the Senate this fall, clearly evincing bis patriot ic intentions. lie was a Lieutenant in the " redoubtable Fourth Regiment" when the battle of Bull RUD took piece, and Gen. McDowell says, " I wrote to the regiment a request for them to remain a short time, but in vain"—the next morning when the army moved for ward, their troops " moved away to the mu sic of the enemy's caunon," and Lieut. Win. 11. Blair with them. " Ain't that so, Eagle Guards?" It would not do for him to stay at that time, accidents might happen which would prevent him from being the can didate for Senator, as per contract with Dief fenbauch, before he started. What is he doing now? lie knows the charge made by Gen. McDowell against the Fourth Pennsylvania Regiment. Why will be rest under it ? The reason is obvious, be expects to be elected Senator. How, unlike bis Captain, A. B. Snyder, who is now form ing a company and is determined to wipe out the stigma cast upon him as an officer of the 4th Regiment. Capt. Snyder and the mem bers of the 4th Penu'a. Regiment, are loyal and brave men, and we know that they wo'd Dever flinch from duty or shirk responsibili ties. If McDowell is right the fault was not wi'b Capt. Suyder, it was not with the brave soldiers who composed his conapaay. But, enough of this. What we regret is that our Convention, of the Peoples or Republican party, should have agreed in the smallest particular, to confirm the nomination of Wm. 11. Blair, made by the Democratic Convention, as a Union man. What did they do it for ? That is the ques tion. Is he fish, flesh or fowl ? Is he a Democrat or is a Repul lican ? Is he Whig, Know-nothing or Democrat ? Who can tell ? We ask the honest Democracy ef Centre, we pause for a reply. Th>s political trickster r'chemer, ready to unite with, and betray all, political parties, if you will but giye him office, it dees nppear to us that he is not the man wanted by the honest yeomanry of Centre at a time like the present. Have we nrt better, more honest, more able and competent men to represent us in the State Senate. Have we not men whoso loyalty has never been, for one mo ment doubted, who could fill the post much better than this Janus laced politician, this political blackleg, unwoarthy the rotes of any Republican or any henest snd loyal Democrat. Let the Republicans in the Dis trict nominate a good and reliable man and his election is sure. More anon. £ST" Does it never occur to thoe who seek to doubt the justice of this war, that we have a great moral question at stake ? A Gov ernment is only a Government when eus | tained by its people and respected by the j other Governments of the earth. It is some -1 thing more than a mere political union for j the good of society. The Union must have | force, and stability, and power. It must be ! above the temporar. strifes, the fleeting pas- I sions, and moment.*:, prejudices of the hour, i It must be capable, not only of maintaining ' it amid the most extraordinary political re | vulsions. Thus far in our history we have ; been trying an experiment, and that is, : whether to our splendid political and our un | equalled social systems we can add the mor j nl power which is all in al', and without which our laws would be parchment, and society an accidental union of independent and antagonistic elements. We maintaiued our moral power for eighty-five years, in a war with England, a war with Mexico, and our diplomat!# negotiations with the other nations of the earth. IL.w long will that moral power remain if this Government yields to traitors ? II w long can we secure ourselves from the insulin of England and France if we permit the insults of a portion of our own people ? If we tolerate treason at home, we cannot look for respect abroad ; and instead of being the peer of the old mon archies and nationalities of Europe, the lie public of the West becomes their depen dent. Captain A. B. Snyder. Those men who are willing to sacrifice the comforts and pleasures of home and-link their lives in defense of their country's hon or, are decidedly the men for the times.— Prominent among this class of men, in our crunty, wo find Captain Austin B. Snyder, lie has served two terms in the army of the Unite] States—fir3t during the war with Mexico and again in the three months ser vice of the present war. And the object of this item is to inform all who desire to serve their country in an hour of peril, that Capt. Snyder is now raising a company to enter the seryioe in a very short time. — We are certain that a better Captain cannot be found. He is a man of military experb ence and ability, strict, yet kind to bis men, | and knows no such thing 3 fear. Let all ! who wish to go with him apply soon, as his company is fast filling up. Flora Temple Seized. NEW YORK, Sept. 6. The racing mare Flora Temple was yes terday seized by Deputy Marshals Hunt and ; on account of a libel filed against > Flora by Assistant U. S. District Attorney, : she being the property of Mr. Wm McDon- j aid, of Baltimore, at the present tinu an of ficer in the Southern army. The Objects of the War. We are engaged in no ordinary war. We are not fightiDg merely to decide the owner ship to a strip of territory, or to avenge some slight insult or wrong, or to secure the ad' vancement of an industrial interest, but for the vpry existence of a great nation. No foreign foe could menace us with greater evils and dangers than those which the tri umph of the unhallowed designs of the con spirators would inflict upon us. When in ternal enemies wage such a war against a republic as they have inaugurated, a death struggle must ensue, and one of the comba tants must be des:royed. If they triumph, we must bid an eternal farewell to all our national greamess, prosperity, and security. If the Government of the United States proves too weak to protect itself against reo bellion, it will be virtually destroyed, its prestige will be ruined forever, one usce6S ful revolt against it will prove but a prece dent for new rebellions, and our unhappy country will in a few years be cut up—not into two, but into numerous jarring, distrac ted, impoverished, and miserable Slates. The great conspiracy against the Union strikes a deadly blow at the happiness and security cf all good citizens, whether they live in the North or the South; whether tboy like or dislike the institution cf slavery; whether they have hitherto belonged to the Democratic, Republican, or Amorican par ties. 'I hose who seek to give partisan aspect to the war, and to denounce it as one in which only those of the same faith as the Administration should engage, are either bereft of reasoti or, what is more probable, in secret league with the traitors. It is of oomparitivelv little imoortauce to the Amer ican people what are the opinion of their ru lers on the questions of national politics which have heretofore been most earnestly agitated, but it is a Government which tlmy have established should not be f ircibly over turned and that treason should not stalk de fiantlj through the land, undermining all the foundations of political and social order, bringing the authority which the liatioD has invested in its oensti'uted rulers into con tempt, and jeopardizing all the vast interests of the peaceful citizens of our country. The war which the insurgents have com menced is not waged against a party, but against a country, and Democrats and Amer icans have as much interest in crushing their treasonable movement as Republicans. The best men of ail the old parties have discern ed this fact, and plead most earnestly with their countrymen against the traitors. We might fiil our columns with proofs of this as- serticn, tut wbat aould be stronger tlian tbc appeals of Mr. Douglas, the chief competitor of Mr. Lincoln, in the late election—the speeches and writings of Everett, the Vice Presidential candidate of the Constitutional Union party—or the eloquent addresses of Ilolt, who acted as Secretary of War during the closing months of the last Admi iistra'ion? In the ranks and among the officers cf the national army, toj, a large portion of men who have never been identified with the He publicans, will be found. This is aj it should be. But meanwhile, there are few men, so lost to ail sense of patriotism and regard for the interests of the nation, as t > seek to paralyze the effirts of the Admin s tration to preserve the Uninw intact, and to overwhelm the defeat and confusion those who are arrayed in arms against it. Every step which it takes to checkmate the designs of the unprincipled conspirators, instead of being bailed by them with the delight which is felt by nil loyal citizens, is criticised and denounced. Every frivolous pretext which they can devise to awaken the prejudices, to weaken the loyalty or to mislead the judg ment of their countrymen, is ros tried to.— They see nothing to condemn in ail the infa mous efforts of the Secessionists to plunder and destroy the Union, and nothing to ap plaud or approve in the measures of the Gov ernment to protect it. Thpy are ready to " cavil upon the ninth part cf a hair" about everv step token to thwart the traitors, but they evince no surprise or indignation at any act however tyrannical, nt any wrong how ever unjust or cruel, at any movement how ever treasonable and dangerous, of which Jeff Davis and his confederates may be guil ty. In fact, loyalty to the best Government that has ever existed is in their eyes the worst of crimes, and open hostility to it so great a virtue that it hides ar.d neutralizes a multitude of sins. Our nation is now on hial. It should be remembered that the enemies of republics have always predicted their destruction, chiefly because they believed that defeated parties would sooner or later prefer an ap peal to arms to a peaceful aequiesence ia a decision of the ballot-box which was obnox ious to them. The critical period in our his tory lias now arrived when this danger is no longer speculative, but real. It is the duty of every patriot to meet it as becomes free men sine, rely attached to republican insti tutions, and those who counsel their country men to make an ignominious peace with armed traitors are the most daugerous foes of civil liberty.— Phil. Press. The course of Gen. Fremont startles the northern dough-face aod irritates the se cret sympathizers with treason in our midst They regaid it as the initial to other pro ceedings that may effect themselves, and be gin to see that this government is really in earnest to put down rebellion at all hazaids. But it is fortunate for the cause of the Union that it is confided to bands as sternly deter mined on its preservation as those belonging to John C. Fremont, and when men begin to calculate the value of slavery with the value of the Union, we have a similar right to say that they are traitors. These are DO times for half measures. A daring operator is not necessarily less skillful or less oautious.— The hour demands resolution and prompti tude, as well as oouraga. We have had enough of attempts to soothe, to conciliate, and compromise with traitors bearing arms in their hands ; and toe know what we have suffered therefrom. THEV MUST BE PUT DOWN. We rejoice at and heartily approve of Gen. Fremont's action. Capt. Thos, Francis Meagher on the War. A few days since on a festal occasion a' Jones' Woods, New York, got up for the benefit of the widows and orphans of those who fell in the ranks of the Sixfy-nintb, at Bull run, Oapt. Thomas Francis Meagher was called to the stand, and after speaking in terms of admiration of. and devotion to the federal cause he continued.: Will the Irishmen of New York stand by this cause—[cries of "wo will," "we will,"] resolute ly, heartily, with inexorable fidelity, despite of all the sacrifices it may cost, despite of all the danger into which it may compel them, despite of all the bereavements and abiding gloom it may bring upon such homes as this day miss the industry and love of the dead soidiets of the Six ty-ninth, but in some measure to console and succor which the festivities of this day have ta ken place. [Cries of "Yes. yes,"] For my part 1 ask no Irishman to do that which I myself am not prepared to do. [Cheers.] My heart my arm, my life, is pledged to the national cause, and to the last it will be my highest pride, as I coneieve it to be my holiest duty and obligation to share its fortunes. [Applauso.] I care not to what party the Chief Magis trate ef the Republic bolonged. I care Dot upon whatpp u nk or platform he way have been elected.

[Enthusi astic cheering.] To me at all events, the notencv of the national eoverninm>r tho honur and glory of the national flag, are of infinitely higher value than the Regency at Albany, the Tammany Wigwam, Akzart Hall, or the pewter Mug.

[Hear, hear, hear ] The integrity of the national domain the potency of the national Government, the reputation ol the national ar is, the invtola biluy 01 that tranquil system of election without which no popular government can have legitimacy, consistency and force— these considerations are fur dearer to nie, and I can claim them to be lar more vi al consequences than the liberty to promulgate sedition or the liberty to conspire. [Great applause J Such liberties must succumb to the demands of the crisis, the public s Tety, the dioipline and efficacy ol the army, a:,d the attitude of the revolt. [Hear hear]—i Within the range of the laws, the police, the ; courts, the piOjricties and intere t of the/ community, let them have full swing in the days of peace.

You know it well. 1 assert it without fear of contrad.ction from any quarter ; a..d those who have had most latitude arid impunity, were the frank and gen mus, would be the I first to own it.

II CDJON, Mo , Sept. s.—Abe Iluger, the baggage master on the Ilannibal and St. Jo* pph Railroad, furnishes to the correspon dent of the St. L mis Democrat the following account of a diabolical outrage OD that roud on Tuesday last. The passenger express train, bound west, was thrown into the Platte river, by the timbers on the east end of the bridge having been burned so as to give way when the train readied that portion. The entire train went down, the engine turning over, aud the baggage, freight, mail and two passenger cars falling, pilled on the top.— The passenger cars were completely crush ed. I was the only one on the train that escaped unhurt. After getting out of the baggage car. I commenced iaking the pas sengers that were not killed fr -tu the wreck. Conductor J. C. Coulter died in a few uiin u'er. Frank Ciark, engineer, had one leg enn pletely twisted and jammed into strings.— He died in a few minutes after being discov ered. Martin Field, mail agent: Chas. Moore, fWinan; and F. Fox, a brakesman, were krie i. Among the wounded were Mr. Medill, of Ohio, a son of Dr. Medill, and his wife; both badly wounded.
