AlroMon liatoyOkly.
The " unqaistioWng".• ,. l:MpOrters:4 Lincoln
claim to be the os4 lciyaft men lathe cotin
try. Let ne see in what their loyalty consists.
Lincoln has shown his loyalty by violating
his oath of office, by trampling the Constitu
tion and laws under foot,,ity _sanding tenant'
thousands of white men to slaughter, for the
avowed purpose of setting the negroes free and
making them 'the equals, socially and politi
sadly, of their white liberators, by virtually
subverting the Government for the sake of con
centrating all power in his hands, in short by
every aot of oppression and lawlessness that a
tyrant could commit, and which only a tyrent
and traitor would commit.
Curtin has shown his loyalty by obsequious
obedience to Lincoln in all things demanded
by him, by endorsing Stanton's
. arbitrary ar
rests and by volunteering his support of that
officer in continuing and extending them, by
furnishing, through his.friends, shoddy cloth
ing to Pennsylvania soldiers, by enabling mam
moth railroad corporations and side specula
tors to swindle the Commonwealth out of fif
teen or twenty millions of dollars, and by other
similar sots.
Thousands of the most load and foulmouthed
Abolitionists have conclusively proven their
loyalty by Pobbing the U. S. Treasury of mil-
Ilene upon milllons of dollars since the war
began, which they are so anxious to continue;
Thad. Stevens proves his loyalty by ex
claiming, "God forbid" that "the Constitution"
should be , presorted, or "the Union" restored.
Many have proved their loyalty by "thank
ing God that the Federal forces were beaten at
Bull Run," because a victory then might have
ended the war and restored the Union without
emancipating the Waves.
A fellow named Wm. H. Armstrong, bases
his claim to loyalty upon an assertion he made
in a recent speech, "that it was better to lose
a battle in the field than the election in Penn
sylvania."
Jim Lane, the Kansas ruffian, is loyal be
cause he swore the "Union was played ont."
Lovejoy, because he would ‘, 4 spit upon the
Constitution."
Greeley, because he published in the Tribune
that the flag of the Union, the glorious Stara
and Stripes, was Haunting lie."
And so on to the end of the chapter. An
Abolitionist or Black Republican cannot be
found, from Lincoln down to Curtin, and from
Curtin down to his shoddy friends, whose
"loyalty" is not the very rankest disloyalty,
who is not opposed to the Constitution end the
Union, and consequently an enemy of his conn•
try and her institutions—working to betray
them, and loudly proclaiming his "loyalty"
to cover the infamous design.
Snyder County Alive—Great Dermocratic
Meeting at Middleburg.
We are gratified to learn, from an entirely
reliable source, that the Democracy of Snyder
county—and, we may add, Union—are alive,
active, bold and determined. The meeting
held at 'Middleburg on Tuesday last was a
rouser,in numbers exceeding the most sanguine
anticipations. Our informant assures us that
there were not less than two thousand present,
and the spirit of the people was excellent.
Two *reeks after the call for the Democratic
meeting was issued, the Abolitionists, as if in=
stigated by the spirit of mischief, and seeking
a disturbance, issued a cat for a meeting of
their party at the same plat* on the, same day.
Both meetings were, accordingly, held. The
Abolitionists erected their stand in the same
street and near the spot on which the Demo
crats had raised theirs. Seeing the disposition
of their opponets to create a row thus plainly
evinced, the Democrats retired to a grove near
the town, and everything passed' off peaceably.,
Their meeting, we are informed, was much
larger than that of the Abolitionists, and the
Democrats feel sanguine of making great in
roads upon the strength of their enemies at the
approaching elemion.
At all events they are determined to make a
big effort in that direction, and we know they
have the sagacity and the pluck to accomplish
a great deal when they put themselves to the
work in earnest. The speakers on the occasion
were IL Clay Dean, Eeq , of lowa, and Gen.
Wm. H. Miller, of this city. Both speakers
are said to have acquitted themselves admira
bly, leavingii most favorable impression upon
their auditors, and infusing into them fresh
zeal and energy. There will be no shrinking
from duty on the part of the Dernocrats, of
Snyder and Union, we are well satisfied. They
have put their shoulders to the wheel and they
will not slacken their efforts until they are
crowned with victory on the 13th of October.
The Renegade MaeDowell.
The gay colonel appears to be on a regular
stumping tour in behalf' of his new friends,
the Shoddy men. He held forth at Johnstown
on the evening of the 28th, and is thus noticed

A Ilmnechtng.—The renegade, Tom MacDo,-
ell, spoke for about twenty-five minutes at the
"Loyal League" Hall, on Monday night. In
the course of his remarks he said that he "did
not care which way the war would end, he now
had enough to emigrate to another country and
to support his wife and family during their
lives."'This, taken in connection with the
fact that he showed a handful of greenbacks
at a public house here, and remarked that was
what he was speaking for, illustrates at once
the reasons he has for ecoming one of the
"loyal." Tom hasialways been a leech, and
the evidence of the party with whom he is now
operating proves himself to be one of the most
corrupt men in the State. Greenbacks must
be exceedingly lush when such men--.the dregs
of the market—are bought up.
State Rights.
In August, 1867, When Ahe Ohio Abolition
ists were on the point of resisting Federal.
authority by forenof arms, Hon. B. P. CnAss,
then 11. 8. Senator, ) and now Secretary of the
Treasury under Lincoln, used the following
language in a public speech : -
"We have rights which the Federal Government
must not invade—rights superior to its power, on
which our sovereignty depends, and we do mean to
assert these rights against all tyrannical assump
tions of authority. "
NOW, under the administration of Lincoln,
Chase, & Co., the doctrine of State Rights is
scouted, and State authority treated with-eon

Centre County.
Whatever may have once been the home influ
ence of Andrew G. Curtin, it is timir evidently oe
the wane. In his younger days, before the taint
of corruption had touched him, or ere the coun
sel and'exampin of bad men had taken hold
fa big Jo Memo I:dingo Which gnstly
iissiatetbim ieaching the elevated position
whit:knew, Wtite mortification and disgrace
of Pennsylitnia, he . holds. By his crooked
course and dishonest practices, by his intimatti
association with venal and tricky politicians,
speculators and corruptionists,he has,in a great
measure, lolsi.that infittenee—and he feels the
loss sensibly. He intends now—being again a
candidate—to win back what he has forfeitsil, at
any cost; and he and the party friends who
still adhere to his sinking fortunes, will make
every possible effort and use every means at
their command to effect this object. He wants
a majority in Centre county—his election with
out that; would not fill the measure of his sat
isfaction.
Under these oircumstiinces, Centre county,
in this contest, becomes an important point,
which must not be neglected. With abun
dance of means at command, Curtin will not
lack assistance. The Federal Administration
will supply him with any number of orators
from its long lest of unemployed officers, and
the shoddy men, who have robbed the treasu
ry and cheated the soldiers, through his favor,
will bleed freely in his cause.
This being the me, any sod:Lance or -n
-00tiragelnetet Whieh can be renaerzu
in Centre by their out , ' 'l..etbren. should be
freely extended to them.
Last year Centre Game up to the work earn
estly, and gave SLINKIR, Democrat, for Audi
tor General, 881 majority. The Democracy of
the county are working hard to keep it up to
that mark, and go beyond it if possible. For
this noble ambition they deserve the thinks
and. prides of their follow Democrats of other
couVes, and all the aid that can be given them
to carry` out theit intention successfully.
There le one way, it strikes us, in which
such assistance can be cheaply rendered, and
we have no doubt it would be gratefully re
ceived.
There is to be a grand mass meeting of, the
friends of the Constitution and the Union—the
true Democraoy—at Bellefonte, on Saturday,
October 8. That meeting should be large;be.
yond the capacity *of Centre county to make.it.
It should be a telling demonstration of the popu
lar feeling, sentiment and spirit, such el would
administer a withering rebuke to Andrew G.
Curtin and his mercenary followers. In con
sideration of all this, as well as for the happy
effect it cannot fail to have elsewhere, we re
commend to the Democrats of the adjoining
counties, as well as to those still further off,
who can possibly do so, to attend that mass
meeting, and, by their presence, give the en.
couragement and add the weight which is ne
cessary to swell the majority of 831 last year
to a round 1,000 this year.
THE SPIRIT OF THE DEMOCRACY will not be
quenched by persecution or abuse. It is not
to bo illsouragod by the not difficulties wkich
hedge it, in its glorious mission to restore this
land to its old footing of constitutional law and
liberty. It appreciates the terrible power
which io terribly wished by its oppencnts—
power given for another purpose—but it does
not despair, through the innate - virtue'of the
people and the awakening intelligence of the
people,
of overcoming all these extraordinary
means levelled against it, and of finally saving
the institutions which our fathers bequeathed
us.
The Republican party is committing politi
cal suicide_ It gloats in the idea that it is ab.
sorbing for all time in itself the management
of this great nation. It will Wake up' from
this feverish dream, as the Turk awoke; who
according to our American poet, sawin visions
of the night, a proud people bending in sup
pliance to his brutal behests, only it will not
be the clash of arms but the dropping of thou
sands of ballots that will disturb this frantic
faction from its drunken repose.
Let ns be of good sober solid hope. The
great masses of this republic have not grown
indifferent to the government of their fathers.
They will, in their own good time, rescue it,
though every hour of the day should witness
a new •decree, unwarranted by our laws, issued
from the foolish counoile•of the Capitol. The
dawn is at hand. Be hopeful Be reeolute
Be vigilant IL --Plain Dealer.

Tug APYANTAGE or Boszoompe Pefeet—
Enough of Rosecrans' army was detached and
sent into Ohio to electioneer and vote against
Vallandigham to have insured us a victory
over Bragg had they remained in the field and
participated in the Chickamauga fight. Ten
thousand killed and wounded, millions of
stores and scores of guns lost, a disastrous
retreat, new inspiration to the rebels, are the
price which the administration pays for the
political advintage of the defeat of the Ohio
Democracy.
There are those who will think that the busi
ness of the army is in the field, and that the
less Mr. Lincoln and Mr Stanton mix in poli
tics and strive to influence State elections the
better for their present success and future wel
fare. Bat it is plain that the President and
the Secretary of War estimate differently , po
litical advantages, and think a shameful defeat
to our armies and the loss of hundreds of lives
a cheap price to paT for winning a State elec
tion. That, this is their view of the use no
one will deny who considers that not one sol
dier has been sent out of Ohio, in spite of the
pressing danger of Rosecrans. His reinforce
ments will be drawn from other quarters till
the Ohio election is over, in spite of the in
creased distance, time, expense and peril.—N.

Tan BORDER Taomas.—The threat of Jim
Lane to make the border counties of Missouri
a desert, has, it seems, been carried out to the
very letter. Order No. 11 of General Ewing,
the incendiary speeches of Lane and Jennison,
and the incursions of the Abolition iired legs,"
jayhawkers and thieves has had the effect of
( _depopulating all the counties bordering upon
Kansas. Bo terrified were the inhabitants,
that as a general thing they left their house
hold goods behind them, and made the best of
their way east, north and south. The Bt.
Louis papers state that at last accounts the
Kansas people from over the border, instead of
helping their distressed neighbors, were help
ing themselves to their furniture aud gooo.
Rapine and spoliation reigned supreme all
along the border, in which the Missourians
were the sole suff erers.
This state of affairs shows the beauties of
the rule of these Kansas and Missouri radicals.
They are eternally clamoring for severe meas
ures; nothing will put down the rebellion,
they claim, but ca stern and pitiless policy.—
They have certainly simeeded in restoring
quiet to the border counties, but it is the quiet
of the grave. A deputation of these radicals
from Kansas and Missenni waited upon Mr.
Lincoln, in Washington, yesterday, to indnao
him to give them complete power over those
two States. - If they sacceed, farewell to lan,
order and eivilization in all the. trona-Madg

GEO. W. WOODWARD.
.•
That, we think, is concise and conclusive.—
Nothing more can be desired on that point.
But let us see how the Harrisburg "jobber,"
tbat is too corrupt for Stanton to associate
with—let us see how he stands about the natu
ralization question :
In 1853 he swore solemnly : "I will not vote
nor give my influence for any man for any of
fice in the gift of the people, unless he be an
American born eitizen in favor of Americans
ruling America, nor if he be a Roman Catho
lic"
The Know Nothing rarty, into which Mr.
Curtin thus swore himself, is now dead, in
name, but not in fact. They elected Mr. Pol
lock Governor, and Mr. Curtin was made bis
secretary. Now remember that Mr. Curtin
has not retracted one syllable of that oath.—
He adheres to every word of it to this hour.
Curtin also swore, at the same time, that if
elected to office he would "remove all foreign
ers, -aliens, or Roman Catholice from office or
pisee.

September 24, 1868.
Mr. Washburn, of Illinois, a leading ad
ministration member of Congress, on the 29th
of April, 1862; said
" As the oldest member present represent
ing a constituency for ten years, I should deem
myself but a miscreant representative if I
stood here as the defender of the robberies and
the plandererines now going ott against the
public treasury."
A Rom.cy emperor once displayed his con
tempt for the people he ruled by installing a
horse into an office. Judging by the number
of asses which Alwaham has given official po
sition, it is presumed his contempt for the peo
ple exceeds that of the old ttoman.

THZ /RAM FLORiDA.—The Paris Maniteur
explains that the Florida is not
.a privateer, but
forms part of the Confederate marine, duly
commissioned, and has all the character of an
ordinary vessel of war.
Ninety-five of the crew of the Florida arri
ved in Liverpool in a state of destitution. The
reports that they had received large sums in
wages and prize money, were fabrications.—
The men were mostlypressed from the Confeder
ate army. At Brest they were discharged, with
notes on the Confederate agents at Liverpool
for sums varying from $lOO to $l3O. These
claims were repudiated, and the men *ere
vowing, vengeance. • •
It ie teporteu that two Federal vessels were
en route for Brest to prevent the departure of
the Florida.
The Patric denies that Slidell has gone to
Brest. He is a Biarritz.
Paris rumors say that the new Emperor re

instructions of Napoleon, and also that Presi

will quietly watch events_ .

LEVIATHAN-.SECOND ADVANCE ON TEXAN.
The Morning Star, with New Orleans dates
to the 26th, has arrived at New Orleans.
The bar pilot who brought the Morning Star
out of Southwest Pass reported that the small
tug Leviathan, then lying under the guns of
the De Soto, was boarded the night before,
(September 21.) by a party of men who came
out in a email boat from shore, took possession
of the tug and carried her out to sea. Two or
three gunboats were lying by when the tug
was taken, but the loss was not discovered till
the Leviathan was several miles out in the
gtdf. At daylight the Di Seto signalled one
of the other gunboats, and both put out for
the tug. They overhauled her twenty miles
out, captured her, and brought her back with
all on board to the pass. The men whO at
tempted to " confiscate" the tug were brought
back in irons.
A second advance on Texas has commeneed,
the march to be made via. Berwick Bay, the
Teehe, New Iberia, and Sabine river. Sabine
Pass is to be captured, Houston Invested, and
