TURN GUT, Democrats, in your f might! Come with Banners, Flags and Music! Come in Wagons, in Carriages, on Horseback and on Foot! J. L. SPANOLER, Chairman. IT is said that in Indiana the Re publicans arc making arrangements to import negro voters from Kentucky for the October election. A vigilant police is on their track, and the enter prising darkies and their employers may have causes of regret before they reach the end. ROBERT CHADWICK, one of the Re publican nominees for the Legislature in I>elaware county, is published in Bates' history as a deserter from the army. If he were a Democrat, this would be a very grave objection to his election. But as a Republican, it is perfectly proper and in character. It is only the sneaks of the army and those who stood off at long range to thunder anathemas at their fellow citizens who were not called into service, whom the Republicans prefer for political offices. Garfield, the staff soldier, is a fair specimen of this class. "JCV|UAI, ANII KXACT JUSTICE TO AI.L MEN, OF WIIATEVEB STATE OR L'KRHUAKION, HKLIOIOU* OR POLITICAL. "—Jrfferaoti HEAVY ASSESSMENT. The Republi can State Central Committee, of In diana, it is said, assessed their candi date lbr Governor, Mr. Porter, in tho sum of $10,0(10 for campaign ex penses. Mr. Porter objected to the i amount as not at all proportionate to ; his pile. IT is said that Colliding has deter mined to make some sjieeches in favor of the tail of the Republican ticket, and will ignore the head—that is, if the Chicago ticket must go forward, he will drive it tail foremost. Hcburz and the great Roscoe agree perfectly, j only ihat Sclmrz embraces the head and cuts off the tail. —— EDITOR IIALSTEAD, of Ohio, is hard to please when he says tltifct Mr. Gar- ■ field "has no record to run on." Why, where is his war record, his tariir re cord, his Credit Mobilicr record, his De Golyer record and salary-grab re- l cord? Are these not sufficient to | commend him to the most exacting i member of the party who stole the ! Presidency from the people ? JUDGE POKTKR, the Republican , candidate for Governor of Indiana, has been |>olitely requested to contrib- ; ute the neat little sum of ten thousand | dollars to the corruption fund in that State. Considering that the assessment is nearly if not quite equal to the Governor's salary for the entire term, it is little wonder that the party man agers had some difficulty in securing a candidate who was willing to bleed to the required extent. It's a pity so much money should be wasted. In diana will go Democratic, as usual, and there will lie distressing vacuums in otherwise healthy bank accounts as the grand army of Republican con tributors figure up the coat on the day after tfie election. GF.N. MCDONALD'S revelations of the St. Louis whisky ring, in which he was an active participant as one of the Government officials in the Grant administration, is now having a run I of the press. He implicates Rabcock > and other officials deeply in the cor ! rupt transactions and claims that all their acts had the concurrence and in j fluencc of the President himself. "Set i | a rogue to catch a rogue" is an old I rule, and perhaps an effectual one. Rut we prefer not to hunt in that kind of company and will await fur ther developments liefore publishing the details in proof that they were all a set of rogues together, from the chief down to the lowest subordinate. THE Republicans of Maine, remarks the New York World, have always denounced terrorism and declared for the right of public assembly and free speech, and they have providently catered to the Tciajierancc vote with resolutions savory and nutritious as the cast wind. It is interesting, there fore, to bear the veteran Prohibition ist, Neal Dow, using such language as this: "The first temperance meeting I ever attended was broken tip by a mob in Portland, twenty-five years ago, but the mob failed in its purpose. Since that day we bad no tem|>erance meetings mobbed in Maine until the 22d of this month, when a temperance convention was mobbed and broken up at Augusta by roughs and rowdiea led on by Re publican officeholder*. The conven tion was driven to adjourn because its business could not be transacted in con sequence of the violence and outrage of this mob. The mob of twenty-five years ago was Whig. This one was Re publican, deliberately planned and car ried out in the supposed interest of the Republican party, I very much mis take the temper of the temperance men of Maine if they continue to uphold a party which tramples upon the dearest rights of citixens." If such language hal only been used about a Republican meeting at the .South, now 1 We know that Gen. Dow's candidacy is as welcome to the Republicans of Maine as a snow-storm in harvest, for even if he polls only the 500 votes they allow him Garfield will be "dishedbut we cannot account for this effectual taking of steps to keep him in the field. Unless, that is, that Mr. Blaine wants to take a bond of Fate as to Mr. Garfield's funeral in November. BELLEFONTE, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST lit, 1880. The South. It appears by the census returns that the labor aud expenditure of money by certain fanatics of the North to colonize negroes in tho North ern States have failed to make the i slightest impression UJHIII tho aggre gate of ]M>pii!atiou in the South. It is true a few hundred poor negroes were induced by these wild schemes of immigration to leave their sunny homes and settle in Kansas and In diana, but withal, the South instead of being depopulated bus increased in numliers so as to be likely to gaiu in representation in Congress, while the New Knglaud and a few other North ern States will probably fall behind. Thus the immigration scheme lias turn ed out to be a poor investment of labor and money. It is not only iu popula tion that the South shows a surprising , growth, but in all the elements of : material prosperity it is rapidly nmk , ing up for the devastations, poverty ' and distress that fell upon it in couse i quence of the late war. At the recent I convention of bankers held at Sara toga, a very interesting paper was read by Mr. W. 11. I'utterson, of Georgia, upon the present condition and the future prospects of the South. He sketches its wonderful recuperation, and also pictures its present social and business condition with a master hand, showing the relations that exist be tween the two races, and the rapid progress of manufactures and agricul ture. In conclusion he says: "Cotton production has increased and the article meets with ready aalc. The evila ot defective transportation have disappeared, and splendidly equipped railroads now thread the South in all directions. Manufacturing interests] have taken new life, utilising the im-' rnense water |N>wer and cheap fuel. Cotton milla are appearing everywhere and all well employed. Iron interests are augmenting, the rolling mills turn ing out iron and ateel rails, fish plates, bolts, nuts, spikes, nails, bridge and ' bar iron. Mining, too, is extending. ! and needs only increased capital and skilled labor to make it a leading fea- i lure of Southern industry, lastly, the 1 i banks need more capital to aid planters 1 and others. But even if this is not ! forthcoming from other sections thelm- I provements thus happily begun will be successfully continued." This state of affairs is suggestive auil may well challenge the sober re flection of sensible people to deter mine whether, instead of waging an impracticable sectional crusade ngninst the Southern people, all, both North and South, will not be the gainers in the general prosperity of the whole country which a comity of good will nnd reciprocal interest must inspire. No part of this great country can be crippled by the dissensions of sec tional bate and discord that will not fall with equal weight upun all, and it seems strange now that the leaders of a great political party can bo so blinded in their own folly nnd so reck less of the general welfare as to meet and resolve to conduct a political cam paign on such issues. Rut such is the position assumed by Gen. Garfield and his admirers in the New York confer ence. They have determined, eigh teen years after the close of the war, again to float the "bloody shirt," and stir up sectional animosity between the North and the Houth. The stu pidity of furnishing this evidence of weakness and desperation, can only he accounted for on the assumption that "whom the Gods seek to destroy, they first make mad." Their doom is scal ed, and the words of Garth Id himself in sober moments when the Presiden tial bee was not buzzing in his ear arc prophetic of that doom. When he said "the man who would attempt to ride into power by the revival of sec tionalism will find himself without a party," be uttered words of truth and soberness, and he cannot avert dis aster that sentiment. THE fellow that asserts that Gar field did no service for the De Golyer fee of $5,000, is unjust to the great Republican fttatesman. He spoke to Shepherd on the subject 1 He swears he did I Shepherd gave the contract and Garfield secured the pay from the public Treasury. Tho Groat Democratic Mass Moot- On Tuesday, August 2-4, 1880, will be held the first grand rally of the campaign in Ceutre county. Eminent speakers from abroad will be present on that occasion ami a royal time may be expected. < 'hair man Spangler is rapidly perfecting his arrangements and It is safe to say that nothing will be left undone to make this one of the greatest gatherings of the kind ever seen in this Democratic county. Among the many gentlemen who have been invited ami are expected to *j>eak to their fellow citizens of Cen tre county on that evening are : Hon. ('. Cassidy, of Philadelphia, Col. Robert P. Decbert. our candidate for Auditor General, Hon. W. S. Sten ger, of Cbaniltersburg, Hon. R. Milton Speer.of Huntingdon, Hon. Robert P. Allen, of Williamsport, and others.

The Govern ment officials have been osscsm-d bv the National Republican Committee 2-5 per cent, on their salaries for the months of August, September and Oc tober, and Mr. Haves' civil service re iorm order is now interpreter! to uu-an fpay or git." It is said the commit tee expect to raise £1 ,'>oo,ooo from thiir and other sources. Civil service a very handsome dividend from Mr. Tilden's salary and the act ing President should not hesitate to apply it. THERE seems to be a dearth of out rages in the Bouth this season and the Radicals are unhappy. The only out- rages reported thus far have been the caes of three negroes, two of whom were mobbed for voting the Demo cratic ticket, and the other for mak ing a Democratic speech. They may do better hereafter. The mill set in motion by Garfield and his friends in New York has not yet got into active working order. WE direct the attention of our rend ers to tho second page of this week's issue of the DEMOCRAT, upon which will IK- found abstracts of the brilliant speeches delivered last week by Sena tor Wallace at Rending and Norris town. Both of these able efforts of the distinguished .Senator should re ceive a careful reading. They are replete with solid and unanswerable reasons why Hancock ami English should be elected. "Tin Republican party has been grad ually improving the character of the public service. "—IUUt/onU Republican. Yes, by putting into office all the active thieves in the great crime of 1876, by which the Presidency was stolen from the man elected by the people and a receiver of stolen goods forced into the White House. THE Republicans seem to be con cerned about the "counting out" as they are pleased to term it, ihat has taken place in Alabama. Well, con sidering that thev had no ticket in the field, it is hard to understand why they should complain or to conceive exact ly how the counting out, so far as it affects them, could have been done. But such bosh deceives no one. To judge from the way a correspon dent of the Bellefonte Republican squeals and squirms over the Demo cratic meeting held at Marsh Creek school house, on last Thursday even ing, the "fourth rate lawyers" who spoke on the occasion must have done considerable damage. Patience, gen tlemen ; the end is not yet. DEMOCRATS, remember TUESDAY evening next, —* s , Hayes and Garfield I here have been three Republican Presidents, Lincoln, Grant and Hayes. Lincoln and Grunt were legally and constitutionally elected; Hayes was counted in by the Electoral Commis sion. Both Lincoln and Grant were unanimously re-nominated at the close of their first term ; Havew' name was not presented to the < bit-ago conven tion, and during the entire balloting be received but a single vote. Why has Hayes no following? Has he separated from bis party as did Tvler, Fillmore and Johnson v No, be has been in perfect accord with bis party on all measures. Has bis administra tion been so corrupt as to render his name infamous, ami thus drive away his own party? No, it has been a great improvement in that respect upon the one immediately preceding it. Has bis cabinet been mixed up with the sale of Post tradersbips and the \\ hiskey Ring frauds as Grant's was? No, whatever we as Democrats may think of the ability of Haves' ad ministration, we are compiled to ad mit that it has lx-en free from those foul scandals which so disgraced the name of America in all civilized coun tries during the eight years of Grant's administration. Why then did no one in the Republican party propose to nominate Hayes, when it had been the uniform practice to give a President a unanimous re-nomination? There has l>een no such breach between Hayes and the Republican leaders as occur red between Lincoln and leading men during the war ami between Grant und Humner and others. Excepting the removal of a few subordinate offi cers, such as Cornell and Arthur, no cause of disagreement has existed be tween Hayes and any influential lead er of bis party. He ha done every thing his party demanded of him, however desperate it wa s , even to the crime of infanticide, for he ha strang led his own infant "Civil Service Re form." Why then, we ask again, was there no one to demand or even favor his nomination? There is but one answer to the question. He was never elected President, ami for four years ha been usurping an office belonging to another. All intelligent Republi cans, either openly or secretly, admit this. No j>erson v'sjudug to be above the mental condition of an idiot now seriously pretends that Hayes was elected. He stole the Presidency and the party dare not attempt to carry that load in n campaign. Hence Hayes himself and even- other prominent, man in the party at once recognized the impossibility of Hayes' re-nomi nation and election. The nomination of Garfield wa an accident, not pre meditated. It was made without thought, in the excitement of a stam pede. No one at the time thought of his connection with and responsibility for the Presidential steal of 1877. Glad to escape the evils of a third term on the one hand and the scandal of the Mulligan embroglio on the other, the delegates rushed to the nomination of Garfield as the only port of safety. Yet he was one of the majority of the Electoral Commission who but three years before had stolen the Presidency ami given it to Hayes. Garfield had been selected by the Re publican members of the House as a fit instrument to do this work. The choice was no doubt made because of his connection with the Credit Mobilicr and De Golyer affairs and the facility with which he had foresworn himself before the Poland committee. It was necessary to have s trtsn who would not shynk at peijury. He had to take an oath to support the Constitu tion and to decide according to right and justice, and after taking that oath was expected to wholly disregard it, trample the (Constitution under his foot and utterly ignore both right and justice. The Republican members of the House knew Garfield and selected him to do the infamous job, and he did not disappoint their expectations. # TEIIM8: ptT Annum, in Arivancp. When the entire Republican party admit that ll aye*, lor receiving the Htolen Presidency, was incapable of being now elected to the office, shall any honest man support Garfield who wa one of the high! whose names must go down iutoeverlasting infamy ? If the old saying that the "receiver is as bad as the thief" be true, the reverse of it is also true, that a thief is as ha I as the receiver, and Garfield therefore deserves and should receive the same measure of condemnation that would be meted out to Hayes.

KDITOR* DEMOCRAT The Belfefonto lirpublifan, of last week, published a letter from this place, over the signature of "JACK," in which the following language occur!: jg , I would like to know why a pauper ha not tho right to vote. I assert he has, but here in this neighborhood one of the MliM •ors, the initials of whose name it J. "ST.

"JACK'S" unqualified assertion that a pauper ha* a right to rote, u abundant evidence that he knows nothing whatever of the qualification# of elector#, albeit he is backed up in hi# assertion by the R*publ'i eon's editor.
