[From the Athens Gazette, Friday, Feb. IC, 1555.]
At a Mass meeting of Democratic citizens of
Bradford County held at the Court House in
Towanda, on Tuesday evening, Feb. 6th 1855
On motion, FRANCIS SMITH, Esq. was
called to the chair, and WM. H. OVERTON and
C. S. RUSSELL appointed Secretaries.
On motion, by W. 11. PECK, Esq.,
That a committee of five be ap
pointed by the chair to draft Resolutions ex
pressive of the views and sentiments of this
meeting—whereupon the chair appointed WM.
H. PECK, D'. A. OVERTON, M. F. RANSOM, IS
RAEL SMITH, GEORGE STEVENS were appointed
said committee.
The hour having now arrived to which the
Court in their extraordinary diligence in the
dispatch of business had adjourned, it was vo
ted that this meeting adjourn to the Grand Ju
ry room—the key of which by some struuge
coincidence, had been removed from its usual
place of deposit. After diligent search find in
quiry, it was found safely stowed away iu the
pocket of one of the officers of Court, Who was
prevailed upon to hand it over for the use of
the meeting. The meeting then re-assembled
and proceeded to business. Messrs. BAIRD,
CAN FIELD, WARD and CASH addressed the meet
ing iupertineut aud appropriate speeches, ani
madverting with some severity upon the so
called " Democratic Standing Committee," in
neither calling a Convention at this time, ac
cording to the settled usage of the Democratic
party in this county, giving any reason whv
they had not so called one, save what might,
(it is true) be reasonably inferred from their
political opinions, a majority, if not all of whom,
are Pollock men, Freesoilers and Know Noth
ings combined, and received their appointment
from a chairman of like political views, and who
was elected to the September Convention by
the Know Nothings—the Democrats refusing
to act in the caucus, and who, doubtles, aided
with their votes, in achieving the late signal
vie -tory, and intended to carry out the behests
of their distinguished leader, who closed his
speech at a late " Fusional" meeting in Susque
hanna County, in these words: " We have rout
ed and broken doun one party (meaning the
Whigs) and by the help of God we will break
dcicn the other?
Cogent and conclusive reasons were urged by
j the speakers for keeping up and maintaining
1 the organization of the Democratic party in
this County and District; that although defeat
ed at the late election, we are not disheartened
i or disbanded, but will be found fully armed and
. equipped for the next campaign, using the same
! old fashioned Artillery of Truth and Reason,
, in defence and support of our beloved Consti
tution and Union, and those great and glorious
■ , Democratic principles, upon which they are bas
ed and sustained.
j Mr. P F.CK, from the Committee of resolutions,
j offered the following, which were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That the present crisis is one of
•! the most important in the political days of our
. country,—a time when all good men are re
| quired, by the exigencies of political events, to
| arouse themselves to anxiety in defeuce of those
' early arid wise teachings which have coine
, down to us from the illustrious fathers of the
• j Republic.
. i Resolved, That the Democratic party has
given to the country all that is glorious in its
history and wise and beneficent in its govern
' ; mental policy; that all those well-settled doc
' j trines upon which the government has beenad
! ministered till the present hour, have been at
? 1 some period opposed by the opponents of our
j i party and its principles.
| Resolved, That men who hare thus shown
. | themaelves wrong at all past time on every
! question of national importance, give a poor
. j guarantee to the people that they are right now
i or ever will be.
Resolved, That though we have been par
' ; tially defeated, we are not dismayed or discour
-1 i aged. The principles of the Democratic party
are those upon which the Republic Were bused,
and they will live us long as Freedom shall
minister at the altar of our common country.
Resolved, That amid the storm and confu
sion of the political, elements which prevail, we
will still keep our eye upon the star, democra
cy, by which our country has been guided thro'
perils and dangers in the race of progress une
qualled, until she has arrived to the glorious
ami enviable position she now occupies among
the nations of the earth.
Resolved, That the great principles of reli
gious liberty and toleration—the right of man
;to worship (jod according to the dictates of
1 their consciences, were fundamental ideas in
| the foundation of the government—strongly
j and sacredly entrenched in the constitution of
| the country, and that we look upon all attempts
to drag this question of religious toleration in
to the political arena, as subversive of theeon
! stitutiou, repugnant to the principles of Re
-1 publicanism, and surely to imbroil the couu
! try in all the horrors of religious persecution
j and strife.
Resolved, That we arc iu favor of an cco
: nomical administration of the government, a
tariff for revenue only, and so adjusted iu its
j details, that its burdens shall fall lightly upon
I the laboring masses of the country; —a general
and efficient system of Common Schools, that
| shall bring education within the reach of the
| poorest child in the Commonwealth, and which
i shall spread intelligence and virtue every where
among our people, and rear a solid foundation
I on which the future glory and prosperity of the
j government may rest.
| After the adoption of the resolutions, some
i of tiic speakers again referred to the unwonted
industry of the Court in holding a Session, and
that too on Tvesday evening of the first week of
j Court , the Court-room having bccu heretofore
used even by courtesy of Whig Judges, on Tues
day cveuiugs of the first week iu court for hold
ing Democratic Conventions or political meet
ings, and it was fair to presume that his llon
'or might have been moved thereto, by seeing
; the printed call for the meeting lying on his
desk, and that by holding court he might pre
vent it, " not front srljish motives, which {he)
, wholly and enip/uitically disclaimsf but it might
be " i'ortuuatc, especially so, in uniting and ee
j men ting for future action, the men who achieved
j the late signal victory in this State." [See
4 Will's letter to B Laporte on Tariff ]
It was said by some of the oldest members
of the Bar, who addressed and participated in
the meeting, that they had no recollection of a
Court sitting on Tuesday evening of the first
week, since the organization of the county up
to the present time. It was remarked also, that
one of strongest reasons given for a division of
the County was, the large number of suits ou
the Trial List, and the Divisionista were warn
ed (ironically) of the danger of calling Demo
cratic meetings, as evening Sessions might soon
clear off the List, and render a division on
that account unnecessary.
The utmost unanimity and enthusiasm pre
vailed throughout. On motion,
Resolved, That this meeting concur in the
nomination of ISAAC RECKHOW, of Susquehan
na County, as Senatorial Delegate to the State
Convention.
Mr. CANFIEI.D offered the following, which
was unanimously adopted:—
Whereas, The so-culled Democratic Stand
ing Committee of this county, having neglected
or refused to call a Convention at the" uaual
time and place, to elect Delegates to the State
Convention: And whereas, a majority, if not
all of said Committee voted agaiust the Demo
cratic nominees at the late election; aud in not
calliug said convention, are evidently seeking to
disorganize and disiucumber the Democratic
party. Therefore,
Resolved, That the chair appoint a Stand
ing Committee of seven, whose duty it shall be
to call meetings at such times as they may deem
necessary, and to appoint committees of vigi
lance in the several election districts, and to
transact such other business as may be requir
ed for the perfecting and sustaining the regu
lar organization of the Democratic party iu this
county.
The chair appointed the following Standing
Committee :
JOHN F. MEANS, D'A. OVERTON, W. H. PECK,
M. F. RANSOM, HENRY AI.LEN, FRED. WHIT
MAM, WALLER OLMSTEAD. On motion,
Resolved, That said Committee are hereby
requested to publish an address to the Democ
racy of this county previous to the next elec
tion. On motion,
Resolved, That a committee of five be ap
pointed by the Chair to inquire into the pro
priety of establishing a Democratic paper iu
this County.
The Chair appointed J. E. CANFIF.LD, JOSEPH
PIOLLET, W. 11. OVERTON, ADDISON M'KEAN,
Dr. H. C. PORTER. On motion,
Resolved, That J. F. MEANS and FRANCIS
SMITH, be, and they are hereby appointed as
Representative Delegates to represent this coun
ty at the State Convention, to be held at llar
risburg, in July next.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet
ing be published in the Democratic papers of
this Congressional District, and at Hurrisburg
aud Philadelphia.

Obituary.
MARRIED, In Canton, Nov. 23d, 1854. Mr. E. P. ROCK-
W ELL to Miss K. E. KETCHUM, both of Canton.
DIED, In Canton, January 9,1855, Mr-. R. E. wife of E. P.
ROCKWELL, and eldest daughter of James and Mariette
Koto hum, aged 20 years 0 months and 29 days.
The subject of the above notice was laid away in the si
lence of the grave, clothing in the winding sheet and the
sober habiliments of death, just seven weeks after she had
put on the bridal robe. The notes of Joy were early hush
ed in the sadness of grief. The fragrant rose of the mar
riage wreath was draped in mourning under the shadow
of the cypress aud the willow. The fond youthful heart,
all throbbing with the sweet intoxication of the newly
tasted domestic happiness, and still warm with the new
life created by the vdws so receutly spoken at the altar of
Hymen, and cheered by the hope of a most promising fu
ture, was suddenly chilled and lay pulseless in the cold,
firm grasp of the fell destroyer. How fearfully true the
language of the scriptures, '• In the mid-t of life we are in
death." If youth, innocence, and a remarkably sweet and
gentle spirit were any safeguard against the approach of
death, Mrs. ROCKWELL would have been spared for a long
time to bless with her love a fond and doting husband and
shed the light of happiness in the midst of a large circle
of kind and anxious friends.
But alas! she is gone ;—cut down in the midst of a
bright and joyous youth ; gone from earth, and its loves,
its sorrows, and its responsibilities. She has gone to her
rest, and the reward of the pure and the good. We do
most truly sympathise with the sorely afflicted and bereav
ed husband and parents, and most affectionately commend
them to the care of HIM whose " tender mercies are over
all his works." They can truly say, in the language of
the poet—
" Dearest sister, thou has left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis GOD who hast bereft us,
HE can all our sorrows heal." c. M'D.

tin- Si earn Engines will be repaired satisfactorily on
short noticg.
