HP* 1 ' solutely prohibited. A fellow dare

IT seems that Bellefonto is not to
have a monopoly of the patent knuck

TIIK miseioH of Geueral Negley, ot

Our Paat, Preeont and Future.
With this issue, tho DEMOCRAT
enters upon its #/.r//i volume. When
the paper was started, five years ago,
it was belie veil that there was not on- j
Iv room for a good county paper,which
! would advuento the principles, and
'! support the nominees of the Democrat- '
1 ! ic party, hut also that there was a
*'n cecmty for such a paper. At that!
1 . time there was hut one Democratic
( paper published ut the county M-at, j
j and the proprietor of thai paper de
■ nied that it was the organ of the par
| ty, or under any obligation to support
■ any candidate of the party, unless the
editor was pcr-anally satisfied with the
nomination of such candidate. In
pursuance of that declared p-dicy, that
■ paper refused to supp rt the nominee
' f I'tir party lor Congress at the pre-
cording eleclicn, and assisted <>ur plit
, it-al enemies to procure his defeat. The
„ DEMOCRAT WHS not started in a lit of
spleen or ill-temper, or to puni.-h or
injure the editor and proprietor of the
_ other paper, but to supply the want
felt bv many leading D.-moeratn in
; the county, of a party organ which !
would at all times aff>rd a b mi file
| support of the parly. This the DI M
f oCHAT bus ut all lines euileavuii.il
i> | to do.
I j In the commencement of this niter
.
II prise the paper had to conteud w'uh
• ' the id- a put in circulation by tic-'- iu
tcrestcd to prevent i*- success, that it
: would not he permanent —that it
s j was only an ephemeral thing thru
' would la -1 only nf- w months. Time
; has refuted this 01-jvctiou. Agaiu it
a was alleged that the DI M-S KAT was
• , started for the sole purpose of making
war upon certain Denim rats of the
t j county wh"se course had not nut with
• the approval of the f< inders of this
' paper. The course >f the pajier dur
1" iug llie live years of its exi-teuc-O ha
e | rctuled Una charge. Tins ja; rhe
t made war on no Deitmcrnt, aud has
never tailed to give lull and gentr
! ous support to each and ev ry caudi
- date of the party, win tin r such caudi
i date was the personal choice of the id- ,
e j itor or not. Nor has the columns of
r the pa|>"r been used to promote the
r . nomination of one Democrat HI the
1 jcx|>ene of other members of the par
| | ty, hut at nil times has given to every
. | aspirant for the honors of the party
i) impartial and fair treatment.
!) | For the generous support given to
r the paper iu the past, aud the largely \
I j increased patronage it is now reeeiv.
j ing from the citizens of the county, !
| the editors returna their thanks.
In the future, we propose to improve
( the paper regularly and rapidity. We
I inland that the DEMOCRAT shall be the
be*t county newspapei that ever has
been, or ever can be published in Cen
tre county. While in politics the pw
( per will be Democratic, a large por- (
tion of its columns will be devoted to 1
) the local iotereets and industries of
I our county, without regard to the poli
tics of those immediately interested.
We shall also endeavor to furnish our
, readers with the fullest epitome of the
( newi of each week, so that the DEMO
CRAT will be a complete family nries
[ paper.
, We have said that the politics of
i the paper will be as heretofore, Demo
, erotic. We do not mean by that, that
, it will blindly oppose every thing
which Republicsos may propose, or
, abuse all persons because they are Re
publicans ; nor do we mean that we
will defend everything which persons
• claiming to be Democrats may do.
' On the other band wo expect to
hold every person who is put*\oto ■
'office by our party to % strict account
, ability. The doctrines of the Qtoo
i cratic party is that public
i must be honest, capable and faiUrftil. :
If any pretended Dcjnocrat has obtain
-1 ed an office by profexsinaf to posseas i
these qualifications, and in the die- <
> charge of bis official duties has failed
1 to exhibit th£tn, the DEMATRAT will i
i be the first to censare, to give the i
party notke of the dishonesty, inca- 1

Since Mr. Carlisle lot* I>MJ elected

|M inlent newspapers have continually,
inteiitiotmlly, and without jud entire,
charged that the Democratic party i
the parly of free-trade. We have cot.-
eluded thut tlirv do this because they
do not know what free trade ini-an*.

TIIK action of Mpcaker Cfarliule in
placing at lite licad of the Com mi I tew
on Foreign Relation* our distinguish,
ed ftllow townsman, Kz-Governor
A. G. Curtin, meets with the hearty j
approval of the whole country. No
man in the forty cight congress is so
peculiarly fitted for the position, both
by education and taste. A practical
education, acquired at tba Court of
' Russia, where be became thoroughly
acquainted with all the details of the
, Diplomatic and consular service, a
I large acquaintance with both the old
and new world ; a mind beautifully
stored with tbe needs of our country
abroad, he brings to the work a clear,
bright, vigorous intellect, and a thor
ough familiarity with tbe service such
as few men have ever bad—We may
expect practical and beneficial reforms
from this committee. No consular
stations will be erected for noedy po
litical retainers. Tbc Governor is un
der obligations to no one so far as tbe
appointment is concerned. It came
unsolicited. It was the clear fore
sight of a level-headed Speaker, seek
ing tbe right man for the right place.
Tho fight between Mr. Cox and Mr.
Belmont had nothing to do with tbe
appointment, as tbey were not thought
of for that place, by the Speaker, al
though both were importuning for it.
If the selection c£a chairmanship had
been left to the Governor he would
doubtless have selected this. The ap
pointment in eminently fit and proper.
