W. W. Brown, Esq., Ed. Blanch
ard,Esq. & others will address the
meeting. Freemen, rally ; rally
for the cause and for j r our glori
_ous principles. Let us stand up

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
That Amos Alexander the Dem
ocratic nominee for county Com
missioner is a member of a cer
tain church in Millheim, and that
he has refused to attend the ser
vices in said church since the war
broke out, for the following rea
sons :—lst, because the minister !
dared to pray in the pulpit in fa- ;
vor of that government without
which the property of the said
Amos would not be worth one
tent. 2nd, because the members
of the congregation placed on the
top of the church, the glorious old
stars and stripes, under which
our grand armies are now march
ing to put down the rebellion and
restore the country to prosperity,
so that the said Amos may con
tinue to enjoy the comforts of bis J
LOYAL home in Permsvallev.
Not. (jorrect.
We have been informed that
there is a report in circulation in
the lower counties of this Senato
rial District, to the effect that the
Republicans of this county are
supporting Wm. II Blair, for the j
Senate Such is not the case ! j
Not only the Republicans, but a .
large number of the Democrats
are opposing Mr. Blair. Only
this week we heard a prominent
Democrat say that he'd be d —d
if he could support any snv.ii a
wishy-wachy man as Blair. The
friends of Mr. Johnson, in the
lower counties, need have no fear
of the Republicans of this county.
We can assure them that Mr.
Johnson will receive the entire
Republican vote of Old Centre.—
Let the people of the lower coun
ties do their duty and Mr. John
eon will occupy a seat in the Sen
ate Chamber, next Winter.
ft ever there was a" time
when all Republicans should stick
to the ticket, it is this fall. Re
member, the country is full of the
blackest kind of traitors, and if
you cut your ticket you may re
gret it all your days. Vote the
■wbplp Republican ticket, ard yen

People,
That by the showing of the Democratic
Watchman, TLos. Hutchison has greatly re
duced the expenses of the Commissioners of
fice from what it was under the ruinous rule
cf Democratic Commissioners.
The Watchman says that the expenses of
the Commissioners office for the last year
was 00. Now compare this with the
expense of the same office for the year 1858 ,
it being the year before Mr. Hutchison was
elected Commissioner, and vre have the ex
penses §1 655,315, making a gain of $572,-
31$ oi a saving in the Commissioners' office
aloue. In the fees for Commissioners'coun
cil we have, for 1860, the sum of 550,00,
while in 1858, under the last Democratic
Board, Ira Mitchell received the beautiful
sum $309.78, making a clear gain to the peo
ple nndcr Mr. Hutchison and a Republican
Board of Commissioners of $259,78 —but of
esurse none of this money was paid him for
electioneering for the Democratic party. The
pay of the Commissioners' clerk, Mr. Jno. T
Juhnston, for last year is $319 75, while Mr.
Muffly's pay for 1858, under the Democratic
j Board, was $502,50, making another saving
under Mr. Hutchison of $182,75 ; all which
1 tac r s will be substantiated by reference eith
er to the Aud tors' reports of these years, or
by the books in the Commissioners' office ;
and yet the Watchman would ask you to vote
for Amos Alexander, on the ground of Dem
ncratie economy, forsooth! The Lord save
j the people from such economy at a time like
; the present, when just such papers as the
j " presented" Watchman has brought degra
i datiun, war, taxation and ruin on the coun
!

I Keep it Before the People,
; That J. J. Briebin only got SIOO,OO for the
county printing, and this is the sum long
i since fixed by the Democrats themselves, and
j the editors of the Watchman well know that
1 the Commissioners have always been bound
to pay for all extra printing as it occurs, and
i to show bow little party prejudices influ
enced the Commissioners, or Mr. Hutchison,
! a, the Watchman bas it, we will state the
I amount of extra printing that has been giveu
to the Democratic papers for 1859 and 1860 :
•859, F. Kurtz, $63,50, Watchman, $130,50.
1860, " " 28,50, •' 83,00.
showing a party liberality utterly unknown
: to any Democratic Board that has ever sat in
j this county, and showing the utter falseness
; of the recklessly lying charges in the Watch
: man. The oa>y effect of the infamou-ly false
! charges of the Watchman, will be to make
| the people appreciate Mr. Hutchison mire
• hi.-hly, if possible, as it has diawn out facts
' that might not otherwise have appeared in his
j favor, and especially has it sfvwn him to be
I tins of the most economical Commissioners
I that ihe county has ever had.
Keep it Before the People,
i That Ira Fisher did not grnnt the Court
Room to Mr. Patterson to preach in, and the
man who says so knows tbrt he lies ; neither
do Republican Commissioners grant the
C oirt Room to BDV but county meetings.—
They think that the room baa been made a
neat and beautiful one by the peoples' mon
ey, and that it should be kept for the use of
the o.iutity business alone; and tax-payers,
do vou not thiuk so'toe?
15 it this town is well supplied with church
es, and any minister of character netd be at
no loss for a place to preach. Churches were
made to preach in; but if a man has not
character enough to get a church to preach
in, would i' add to the character of the Court
Room and tl e Commissioners to furnish him
oar hall of justice at the expense of the tax
payers of the county, simply because he bad
not character enough to get into a' church ?
We slightly think not.
Keep it Before the People,
That the Treasurer of the county does not re
ceive one cent of pr fit OD the renewal of
any note that it is necessary to throw into
Bank, though it is true that Mr. Buffiington,
u ider Dem icra'ic Commissioners, did get 5
p-r cent on each "renewal, or 20 per cent an
nually, this is one of Mr. Hutchison's re
forms, and no Treasurer can get more than
5 per ceut while he is in office.
Keep it Before the People.
That A. Boyd Hutchison did get $141,00 for
Trumoribing books because he agreed to do
ic lower than any other man would under
take ro do it, and keep it also before them
that Theophilus Mofilf got $lO9 00 for less
thaD a half the work nr.d that he got from the
Democratic Commissioners just the year be
fore Mr. Hutchinson came into office. Oh,
how beautiful the Watchman exalts Mr-
Eu'chinson by its delicious attacks ard the
beauty uf it is, that it ealls nut the facts, every
one of which is subs'an'iated by the books
of the office, and shows Mr. Hutchinson to be
the peoples friend in the care that he has
taken of the peoples money and in the econ
omy with which le has conduottd the affairs
of the office. The Watchman says that Mr.
Hutchinson had one huudred and sixty days
service in one year, now we simply say to
every man in Centre County to vail at the
Commissioners i fflce and see what a magnif
icent lie this is, they will just show 72 days
charged to the county, while the Democratic
Commissioners of 1858 draws $195,40, and
Henry Keller the only Republican in the
; Board that jear, draws sllO. These facts
are tnket from the Books of the office and
cannot be controverted. Voters of Centre,
bow do you like Democratic Economy ? you
bait to prty well for it, but is it worth the
I price.
That Wonderful Mistake.
j Just as we expected, the brainless ninney
' of the \Vatc-man, tiies to make political cap.
j ital of a mistake made by one of our typos,
in our last paper. In setting up a para
graph in reference to Mr. AicWilliams, be
inserted the name of "Alexander" instead
of MeWillianas. It was set up by a young
wan who takes as little interest in this po
litical campaign as Loyal .imos takes in tbo
welfare of lijs country, and who no mere
thought of Loyal Ames when he inserted
that "honored name Alexander" than he
did of the Apostle Vauh
THE! CEIVTREI X>3SS MOCHAT.
Henry Johnson, Esq.
In the last number of the Watchman there
is an ungentlemanlr attack both upon our
self and Mr. Johnson, the Peoples' nominee 1
for the State Senate. As to ourself we care ;
nothing for the cowardly and libelous attacks j
of the Watchman upon us. Tbey have lied j
so much and so long about us, tbat its power
to harm us, is not worth notice. We shall i
therefore pass them by, as the idle wind.— j
Nor could the Watchman injure Mr. Johnson
if the honest and patriotic people of Centre
would but remember that it was presented
by the Grand Jury at the last Court for its
treasonable articles* It never had much
oharacter, but it has less now, indeed we
doubt whether it has any. How men can
support ii and claim to be loyal bas been a
query with us for the last lour months.
Mr. Johnson was never a Captain of any
company. On the 22nd day of April the
Brady Artillery started from Money fer
Camp Curtin. Mr, Johnson was not its
Captain, Dor never had been. A list for a
tew Company was started under the three
months call, which liet Mr. Johnson beaded
just as be was leaving to attend Court. It
was signed by about forty others mostiy
married meo. But before the company was
filled up, Mr. Johnson its temporary Cap
tain did all he could to fill the company but
as there were several other companies being
raised at the same time and as Mr. Johnson,-
on account of his large practice could not
give it bis whole attention, the recessary
number of men could not be raised. Mr.
Johnson decided the company must be filled,
and just when be had commenced in good
earnest, he was informed by Gov. Curtin that
the requisition was full and he could accept
no more compauies.
We might say more in contradiction of the
Watchman ' article written by Col. Blair
himself, but we forbear, Mr. Johnson we
hold, would scorn to play th gams Col,
Blair is now playiDg, to secure a seat in the
senate. Col. B'air in order to make votes f
not to figbt for rbe Union, has himself elected
Ist Lieutenant of Captain Snyders company,
aDd when called upon for a speech, he said.
" this is a time for action not for words, you
do right by me, and I wiR stand by you."—
Now Col. Blair i 3 bound to cheat Bomebody.
either his company, or, if elected to the Sen
ate, bis constituents, lie cannot be true to
both, he cannot act Senator and go with the
company as his pledge implies. Mr. John
eon is too honest and reliable a man to play
such a contemptible double game.
Blair is a great patriot, yes ! but does any
man believe that he would ever have have
gone even in the three months service as a
private? We know he would not. He is teo
fond of i fiioe. And after all it is the privates
who should ha-.# the credit. They do the
work and iherefore deserve the honor.—
Blair says "we built the railroad" yes we !
i Did he ever touch his finger ends to it ? Re
publicans, honest Democrats of Centre repu
diate him as you did when he run for the
Treasurers office in 1853. llis principles are
ancbangfd. He is the same milk and water
gentfeciarr still.
Guilty of Treason.
Every man in Centre Cjunty acquainted
with the laws of the country, knows that any
one who engages in aiding and abetting the
rebels iD any manner whatever is guilty of
treason. And any man who endeavors
to prevent uierf from enlisting in the army
of the United States is certainly aidiDg and
abetting the Rebels. D> not be astonished,
readsr, when we inform you that a resident
of Centre county has been thus engaged,
and is now liable to be ind'.ctcd, convicted,
and aiotted a place in Fort Layfayette.—
That man is now on the Democratic ticket of
this county, and asks the citizens to place
him in office under, a government which he
J s not willing to sustain himself, or permit
others to do so. lie is no lesß person than
Dr. Stroheekir, one of the Democratic nom
inees for Assoociate Judge. But to the fact
in t le case.
Our readers will remember thas a company
of Cavalry was raised in this county a few
months ago, which is now in the service o*
the United States under command of Capt.
Jjna<hun Wolf, a neighbor of Mr. Strobcck
er. When the company was being raised,
Capt. Wolf had enrolled sum 3 twelve or fif
teen men in the vicinity of where Dr. Stro
heeker resides, but when he went to demand
thera to start for the war they refused to go,
and the reason they gave was that " Dr.
Stroheeker had persuaded them "ot to go"—
that he said " it was a d ni black Ilepub
lieau war, and Lincoln ought to be shot."—
Those, men, who would have gone to fight
the battle of ibsir country, had they not been
advised otherwise, are still staying at home,
and will no doubi *' aid and abet" the enemy
themselves on Tueedoy next by casting their
votes for their secession neighbor. These
are facts, and we are prepared to prove them
by a neighbor of Dr. Stroheeker, who is now,
and always has been, a Democrat.
Now, honest voters of Centre county, are
you prepared to " aid and abet" the enemy
by allowing this man to be elected to
one of the most honorable positions in your
gift ? If such men are to be elevated to posts
of honor io loyal Pennsylvania, better give
up to the rebels at once, and write Jeff. Da
vis to take possession of the National Capi
tal. We trust that the loyal citizens of this
ccunty will show, by their votes on Tuesday
next, that gentlemen of secession proclivities
must emigrate a little further South, if thry
would be elected to positions which should
only be filled, in loyal communities, by-loyal
men.
Juhn C. Breckinridge, after remain
ing in tbe loyal States as long as he could
Possibly exert any influence toward plunging
Kentucky into the mad vortex of rebellion
and treason, has now made his escape and
openly joined the Rebel army in Tennessee.
That army is now marchiDg into Kentucky,
carrying de&iL and devastation with its ad
vancing columns. The people of that noble
old State, having spurned from themselves
the traitorous counsels of Breckinridge and
Magoffiu, are DOW risiog in their might to
repel tbe bloody assaults of tbeir recreant
brethren, and to vindicate their own spotless
loyalty and conrage under tbe banners of
tbe gallaof Apdsrsgp.
That Young Man,
In the last number of our paper we pub.
lisbed an article concerning a young man
who was engaged in writing letters to Re
publicans in different parts of the county, to
induce them to vote for Amos Alexander,
alter said young man had, through the in
fiuence of Air. Hutchinson, Alexanders op
ponent, been appointed Mercantile Apprais_
er. Betore tbs paper was issued Mr. Brown
met the young man and spoke to him of IUB
ungrateful conduct, and infoi med bim that
the Democrat would "pitch into him for it."
Young man became nervous, fearing that
his mean condust would be exposed and as
ked Mr..Brown to Oil bim the substance of
the article. Mr Brown replied that he
could not as it had been written and banded
in by a friend who knew more about the let
ters than he did, but the editors would of
course be responsible. After the appearance
of the paper, young man assailed us on the
street and wanted to know why we pitched
into him in that kind of style, and made use
of seme choice language and tore around at
a terrible rate, doubtless thinking that we
would take to our heels and run off from be
fore his lerritle wrath ; but we did not do
this and after he nad blowed off enough gas
to raise a baloon be cooled down. Here the
matter would have ended ; but when the
Watchman came out, behold it contains a
communication from the young man, signed
" A Republican." He does not deny that
he wrote letters io favor of Alexander, for
he admitted to us, on the street that he had
done so. lie says that "Brown was careful
to tell the young man that the paper would
pitch into him, but that he, Brown had been
away, and someuodv had banded it in, Jim
bad put it in as editorial and would not
tske it out." That is a lie, young mar. Mr.
Brown told you just what is contained in the
first part of this article and nothiog more.
Young man then says something about a
mistake which occurred in the Democrat, hut
does not deny that he wrote those letter e.—
What a pity that, when be was excited, he
admitted that he did writo them, thus fur
nishing the best of evidence that our char
ges were oc-/eot.
For fear Mr. S ; there we almost
let out his name—should have trouble to
find out the author of this article, we would
just say that toe name of the author may be
fouLd at the head ol th is paper as editor, the
same person who voung man assailed on
''Livingston's Corner." Should be feel de
sirous of "raising the wind" about this arti
cle ha can call on the same.
For the Democrat.
IIOLLI DAYS BURG, Sept. 29, 1861.
MR. EDITOR: —lt is a long whi e since I
have scribbled anything to you, and as peo
pie sometimes s ratch when they itch, I sup
pose I may be aMowed to scratch when I itch
for writing. You will not ask me for news,
will you ? News here are as scarce as bogun
peace-makers in Heaven. As for politics,
they are as dull as the men who meddle with
them. But still there is no end to office
seekers. Local politics have lost all the in
terest ever they had. We are in the midst
of an amazing drought—countless plants and
no political showers. It is neither a sin nor
a disgrace to. have the confidence of the peo
ple, but it looks a little thread bare when,
in times of extreme danger, petty politicians
quarrel over the spoils of office, and threaten
to tear each others' dear little eyes out —and
no one locking Ou —if thsy dou'6 get what
they want.
This rebellion originated in the scramble
for office aod seems to thrive in it. Tticre is
only one issue that interests the people—
Union or no Uoion. All others are bat the
'shells of worm-eaten party men. We dare
not encjurage any other. Party excitements
mix up party interests with national con
cerns. and as one goos so goes the other.
1 see by your county papers that quite a
I number of independent candidates for
office have presented themselves. Volun
teers are well enough, but it is more usual
for them to receive bounties than to give
them. One candidate offers to serve, if elec
ted, for tbe Dine-tenths of the proceeds of tha
office, and pledges himself to sot opart the
other tenth for charitable purposes—for the
widows and orphans. I suppose the widows
and orphans will yoto for bim. Another
proposes to give the one half to the bereaved.
I pray that if he ever dies—which God tor
bid — he may rest fiom his labors. Men line
these, men of such magnanimity, deserve
the lasting praise of a grateful people—
Ilow the destitute of my native county will
leap for joy wheD milk and water is again
offered without money, and only for office!
Liberal as these gentlemeu have been, their
generosity must expand or they will be ex
celled in benificenca by a friend of mine tfho
proposes to discharge the duties of President
of the United States for nothing, fiad bis own
Cabinet, and board all tbe hands. I hope
the gentleman don't intend to farm the office.
I w t'uld suggest that all candidates put them
selves up at auction, the highest bidder to be
the buyer. Competition, you know, is tbe
life of trade.
Business has grown exceedingly dull here.
Out of two furnaces and two rolling mills
only one rolling mill is in operation. This
borough has received no manufacturing army
contracts. Several horse contracts have been
taken. A contractor in Altoona is to fur°
nish 5,000 pairs of shoes, and another in the
saniG place has mads 150 wag'.ns for the
Government. This will set a good many
mechanics in motion —the class which suf
fers moat from the stagnation of business.—
We have yet complete confidence in the Gov
ernment, and in its ability to put down this
causeless rebellion. Treason has almost fled
this county; bat very few intimate an oppo
sition to the Government. These will be
dealt with summarily if their tory whisper
ings are not stopped. The commission by
which we execute the laws reads thus :
" Two sticks pendant,
One stick croasant,
One rope pendant,
. And a traitor on the end 'oVt."
A shake hi>ada across the county line, and
a good by# to you for a while.
Your#, &c.,
JNO. H. K.
Thomas Hutchinson,
Few men, who receive Political nominations
from any party, are less entitled to public
sympathy and support, than ttis individual
whose name stands at the bead of this para
graph— Watchman.
Of course the Watchman will say so, for
was it not " presented" for a different kind
of sympathy ? Air. Hatchinsoh has two of
his sons in tbe array, and one of them in
bopoless captivity amongst the Traitors
ibat have all the Watchmans sympathies, and
how could it sympathise with Mr. Hutchin
son for sending his sons to fight its particu
lar friends? Of course no person needed the
assertion that the Watchman could not sym
pathise with a bereaved patriot. But it can
sympathise with Aroos Alexander, for has
he not also been " presented" by tbe Metho
dist church for sympathy with the southern
traitors, and is he uot new on trial before
the people of his own church? Oh, he has
Mr. Alexanders sympathy, Tor may be not
too be on trial at the next couit? Misery
loves company.
Let all who receives a copy of this pa
per take it with him to the election that be
mav there nail the infamous slanders of ibe
Watchman, got up on the eve of the election in
the hope that it could not be contradieted,
and thus the people might be induced to vote
ati ;ket they despise.
It was a dirty trick, and the voters of Cen
tre ennntv will show the estimation in which
they hold men who could stoop to such con
temptible falsehood to cheat them and bols
ter up a rotten secession ticket by the way
in which tney will pour in their votes for
the candidates of the working men and hon
est patriots of the county.
Let every raao feel fully assured that the
statements in this paper are strictly true,
for we took them from the records or the
office and only regret that we had not time
for more extended extracts.
WmTfOlair.
This gentleman, vrbo is the candidate of
the bogus democracy for Senator, was a
member of tbe 4th Pennsylvania Regiment,
whose conduot on the morning of the battle
of Bull Run is well known to the public, and
his friends fearing that bis connection with
the Regiment may injure his prospects for
tbe iffl-e to which he aspires, they are in
dustriously circulating a certificate from a
Capt. Snyder, to the effect that -after the
Regiment relused to remain 1 mger, Mr. Blair
wanted to leave the Regiment and go with
the army, but was prevented by his superior
officers. Now we have never before referred
to the fact that Mr. B.air was a member of
this Regiment, nhi we do so now, only to ask
how it could be possible that Col. ll .rtranfi,
the superior officer of the Regiment, Capt.
McCooke, and about forty others, should be
permitted to leave the R->giment and engage
in the Bull Run fight, as they did, and yet
Air, Blair be denied that privilege? Verily
this certificate looks like deception-— Muncy
Luminary.
Advance of the Federal Army,
The advance of the Federal Army into
Virginia is slow and cautious. Every srep is
marked, every point fixed, every post pa sed
fortified, while the surroundings are guarded
with a care that renders surprise impossible.
We can certainly look for a decisive action,
of a stupendou-character, every day. God
is with the right, and therefore we must tii
umph 1 The advance upon Munson Hill, on
Saturday night, was unexpected by the peo
ple of Washington city. The movement was
not made till just at niyb', and was intended
to deceive the reb.l leaders. Strange to say,
they siieuied to be fully aware of our ad
vance, and begun to retreat before the ad
vance was commenced. This proves that
traitors and spies are still ahusdarit among
m, and many still lurk iu the departments,
who, like Byrd, who fled to U chmond, take
every opportunity to aid the rebels. The
cause of the retreat of the reoels is still a
mysery. By some it is supposed that they
have a large force nbore Leeshurg and an
other below at the muuth uf the Occoquan,—
But some of the shrewdest military critics
in Washipgrnn city says that the rebel armv
of the upper PO'OIIIHQ is a inyrh, and that
their grand ariny is between
Fairfax Court House and Manassas and the
Potomac at or below the mouth of the Occo
quan.
SKWARD ON RUSSELL —The attention of Mr.
Seward having been ealled to the villainous
letter of Rusee! to the London Times, pub
lishes a leoly in which he save :
" The Government of the United States de
pends not upon the good will of foreign wri
ters or papers, nor even of foreign nations,
but upon the just support of the American
people. Its credit and its fame seem to me
now. more than ever heretofore, sale in tbeir

California lor Union !
L'bind Stanford (Rep. Union) is elected
Governor by 3 000 tnaj. over all, and the
Legislature is also Republican for the first
time. The Douglas Dem. vote is higher than
the Breckinridge vote. S > Secession is down,
and California follows Vermont and Maine in
sustaining the Republican Administration
square out!
JGF How lucky that we elected LINCOLN

83?* Keep it Before the peo
ple, that Allison White, the late
Member of Congress, from this dis
trict, in a speech at Beech Creek,
last week, said that Jno. B. Floyd
was one of the best and truest
men in the United States, when,
at the same time, he knew that
Floyd had robbed the Govern
ment of thousands of dollars, and
is now a General is the rebel ar
my. The said Allison White is
the head and front of the Demo
cratic party in this district.
Remember! !
That there are at least three rank
Secessionists on, the Democratic
ticket of this county, viz : Doctor
Strohecker, John S. Proud foot,
and Amos Alexander.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEO
PLE,
Thut Col. ffm. H. Blair would never have
gCDe to war as a private soldier, nor would
he ever have gone as an officer, but for the
fact that he had talked secession until he was
ashamed of himself, lie had to go to save
his reputation.
Keep it Before the People,
That we can prove by Dr. Potter and Sheriff
McCoy that Dr. Mitchel would Dever have
gone to war as a private, nor would he have

That the editors of the Watchman declared,
in the article bringing Dr. Mitchell before
the people as a candidate for Treasurer, that
they " wanted no black Republican aid " Is
there a Republican or honest Democrat in
the couDty who will vote fur him ?
Remember !
Honest D'mocrats of Centre, that John T.
Ilooyer, S. T. Shugert. Jno. II offer, Dr. Stro
hecker aDd Cytus Alexander are responsible
for the treasonable course "of the Watchman,
and not Mr. Meek, the expelled editor. They
only wish to make Meek the scape goat of
their camp, and seek to make bun father
their sins. At heart tbey are all Jeff Davis'
men.
Keep it Before the People,
That Amos Alexander, notwithstanding Mr.
De Moyers letter in the Watchman of this
week, is a traitor and not a Union man; that
he took the Day Book and called it a pure

is doubted ly more than half the members
of his circuit, or by those under his charge.
He is an intelligent man. claims to be a
christian, and fur such men /u play Locofoco

We do hot belive that De Moyer is any more
of a patriot than Amos Alexander, and we
can prove that he is not.

Mr. Alexander was tried in the Churub for
the course he had pursued, and was given
by Mr, De Moyer four weeks to reflect and
to come back to his allegiance. Who, we
ask, is the liar, Mr. De Moyer or ourself
Let tl.e record • f the Church answer. We
dare and defy an investigation. The loyal
ty of Mr. De Moyer has been doubted for
the last 4 months by a majority of bis mem
bers. We think he should go along with the
tory Rev. Jno. Poistfl. The feast we can
say of him is that if he is loyal at all he was
v'ry slow iu his loyaltv. Let him c ntrn
dict this if he dare. We are responsible.—
We love the Methodist Church bot we dd

Ha! Ha! ! The Richest Political
Trick of the Season.
Col. Wu. 11. Blair and his adjuncts, co
horts and cliques in Bellefo.vte, in their po
litical schemes to cheat both Republicans
and Democrats, have hit uoon the plan of
Col. Blair to enroll himself in Cap!. A. B.
Sujder's company, to be Ist Lieu'enant-, and
march with them ; out if elected Senator he

will go into winter quarters until the Senate

ibe Session is clossed return to his company.
That is like bim Receive the pay as first
Lieutenant and Senator at the same time. But
he is advertised to make speeches this week
at Several places, according to report in the
Democratic townships of t'ennsvalley, and
convert the German Democrats to vote f,.r

the Ptopies' party, that il elected he will
support all they ask. Somebody must he

man to d • it, II be intends to make the

party nominate another. They have a hun

Blair wbe wuuid sell them a- Meek, the ex

sell their political birth right Jor a mess of

Blair and his jocos. We know that true and
consistent Democrats who have been betray
ed by Blair, should have had the nomination
for Senator by that party, while at the same
time he deceived the Demociatic party ; he
commenced the same game with the Repub
licans, and Judas-like kissed them as being
the only Un on men in this Senatorial Dis

Such a man can not
be trusted.
It is the duty of every
loyal citizen of Centre county to
attend the polls and see that no
detriment is done to the Union
cause. If through the remissness
of Union men, disqualified and
disloyal men are elected to fill our
offices, it will be a subject of end
less but vain regret. Prevent this
j evil by "coming out in ail your
| strength, and put down now and
forever everything that will not
concede and fulfil every inch of
our obligations to the Union and
the government which is sworn
to protect and preserve it.
We ask the freemen of
Centre county who supported
Abraham Lincoln, not to desert
him now, when he most needs en
couragement and support. Let
the people's Union ticket receive
a unanimous support, and the U
nion of the people will be complete
for the protection of the Union of
the States.

That John S. Proudfoot said, last
Spring, that if he had a dozen of
