Such S the character, which his speeches have won for him, in the opinion of intelligent , and honest men 'of all political parties. Ile de serVedly exerts a vast influence, not only 'among his udoppid German feilow citizens, but also among American Republicans generally. The result - of his afforts, in the least, htel been the conversion of thouiands of honest Germans to the Republican MO, and the political revolu tion, witnosded at the recent elections in Mil waukie and Dubuque, has been owing to chan ges among the foreign Germans, among whom his influence is so powttrful. During the pre& ent campaign, he will Visit many of the States, Pennsylvania among tha number, and we are glad, that we have the opportunity of announc ing, that he will shortly' address the Republi cans of Allentown. The 24th of September has been designated, as the day, when he can addresi the Republicans of Allentown, and if no more suitable day can be named, we expect to hear him then. We trust, that, when in our.midst, he may be listened to with impar tiality by our fellow-citizens of all political parties, without prejudice. We are ever ready to hear a fair and candid discussion of politi cal questions, by a political opponent, and trust, that the same spirit may be manifested by the Democrats of our town. Such, however, is not the spirit, which animates many Demo cratic organs. To prejudice the public mind, against a politloal foe, for the purpose of de stroying his political influence, is the great Lan of Democratic Editors.. Such is the case with our worthy cotemporary of the Allentown Democrat. No sooner ii it known, that Carl Schurz is to visit Pennsylvania, than the Edi- ' tor visits upon his unoffending head the vials of his wrath, his abuse and scurrility. The Editor uses the following language " This fellow, in padition to being a Black, is also a Rod Republican, a Socialist and Athe ist, of the"Robesperien School, who look upon every man, who has accumulated wealth, as an aristocrat, and a robber of the goof" It is unnecessary to say, that the charges are false, destitute of a vestige of truth or foun dation:and could only find their origin in the .brain of the lying scoendrol, from whom the Editor of the Democrat borrowed his ideas and his language. We will not give the - Editor of theAilentown Democrat the credit of origina ting the charges, because we hitve seen the same before in other newspapers. - The Editor charges Schurz with being in favor of the abo lition nf slavery 'at once. This deny and refer our readers to his printed speeches, which ate emineitly conservative, statesmanlike and . able. The Editor charges again, that Carl Schurz, in his" Springfield speed'', undertook to ridicule the 'men (0' the revolution. Carl Schuri did not rbliculethe men oftherevelu lion, but predicted the .ridionlous position, in "which they Would be placed - by Senator. Doug las' construction of the Declaration of Inde pendence and of the Constitution. Efe is not giving utterance to his sentiments, but putting words into the mouth of Senator Douglas. In this connexion, the Editor copies the follow ing quotation from the Springfield speech : "There is your Declaration of Indepen dence, a diplomatic dodge, adopted merely for the purpose of excusing the rebellious colonies in the eyes of civilized mankind. There is your Declaration of Independence, no longer the sacred code of the rights of man, but a hyp-• ooritical piece of special pleading, drawn up by a batch of artful pettifoggers, who, when speak ing of the rights of man, meant but the privi leges of a set of aristocratic slaveholders, but styled it " the 'rights of man," in order to throw dust in the eyes of the world, and to in veigle noble-hearted fools into lending them' aid and assistance. [Applause.] There are your boasted Revolutionary sires, no longer heroes and sages, but accomplished humbuggers and hypocrites, who said one thing and meant another ; who passed counterfeit sentiments as genuine, and obtained arms and money and as sistance and sympathy 'under false .pretences 1 There is your great American Revolution, no longer the great champion of universal prin ciples, but a mean Yankee trick, [bursts of ap plause and laughter]—a wooden nutmeg—(re flowed cheers] the most impudent imposition evro practiced upon the world 1" Lot our readers bear in mind, that Carl Schura is not stating his own position, but only drawing inferences from the position of Sena tor Douglas, which he denounces, and we can, at once see the cheat, attempted by the Editor of the Demticrat. If the Editor had not been informed of the cheat before the publication, we might have attribUted it to his igno rance. As the matter stands, we can call it nothing else, than a deliberate perversion of the truth.

A meeting of the members of tho-Central Republican and Wide Awake Clubs of this Borough was held on . Thursday last ; Dr. George Hand in the chair. The above card was read, whereupon Capt. Thomas Yeager of fared the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted. The resolutions : an swer 'conclusively some of the sntall petty slanders and lies, which this same Editor has been industriously circulating; Resolved, That the charge of the Allentown Democrat under (lite of the sth instant, and of the Easton Senlinel; that the Wide Awakes of the borough of Allentown„at their late visit to Bethlehem had contracted and left unpaid a whiskey bill to the amount.'of twenty dol lars is utterly false, designed to influence the minds of the people and cast reflection upon honest and honorable citizens, who were en gaged-in the pasado, on said evening, at Beth lehem. And tffat we pronounce the editors and proprietors of said papers, A. L. Rube included; liars, political scoundrels and cow ards. Resolved, That the frequent charges by this same mean contemptible lying sheet, that the Wide. Awakes of Allentown were armed with guns, swords, pistols, pikes &c., with a view to rob murder Omar Collow oitiszong.ni.o.rw fit or suitable oppor tunity 'and ,to "undermine the glorious prin ciples.handed down to us by the fathers of our republic,' deserves the sever est rebuke of all honorable and truth-loving citizens, and no chastisements too severe can be regarded as ajust retribution for such ly ing scoundrels and villians. Resolved, That frequent publications appear ed in the Allentown Democrat, a Douglas pa per, under the management of A. L. Ruhe, that our candidate for Governor, Col. A. G. Curtin, made a speech in Bellefonte, Centre county, in which lie declared that a Dutchman was unlike another person, because he had two skulls. In regard to said publications, we de nounce the Editor of the Allentown Democrat, as a bare-faced liar, who deserves the utmost contempt of all honest reading men. We beg leave to refer our citizens as evidence of the falsity of said publications, to an article, in the Central Press, of Belle fonte, Centre County; Pa., under date of Au gust 30th, 1860. Edmund Blanchard, Esq., Chairman of the County Committee, then addressed the Con vention. On motion of D. J. McCann, a com mittee of three was appointed to report a reso lntion denouncing the Dutch slander put in circulation in regard to Col. A. G. Curtin.— The committee reported the following resolu tion : Resolved; That this convention composed of the friends and neighbors of Col. A. G. Cur tin, our candidate -for Governor, have heard with scorn and contempt the malicious and slanderous report to the effect that Col. Curtin should have stated publicly or privately that "a.dutchman had two skulls, and before you can get an idea into his head you must-break one of them," repeated at home and abroad, after a public denial, by the . moat compotent witness, do in his behalf, give the said state ment a most emphatic denial and challenge our political opponents to produce the shadow of proof in support of the calumny,' which had its origin either in personal animosity or par tisan malice. D. J. 11400-ANN, Resolved, That the editorial management of 'the Allentown Democrat for the past year has won for our Borough the unenviable reputation of having issued in its midst the most vulgar, lying and scurrilous Democratic organ pub hshed in the State. )t ~Forney, of the Philadelphia Press„ had another "dig" at Foster in Monday's paper. Forney, evidently, cannot see vote any true friend of Judge Douglas can vote for a candi date who carries the endorsement of Buchan nan's andministration on his back. The Read ing convention, which nominated Henry D. Foster, endorsed Mr. Buohannan's administra tion "up to the hilt." Of course, if Foster is elected it will be an adninistration triumph; and that is just the reason why the Brockin ridge mon are moving heaven and earth to elect him I MASS STATE CONVENTION AT LANCASTER.--A Mass State Convention of the People's Party of this State, will be held on Wednesday next, the 19th inst., at Lancaster. Hon. Carl Schurz, Hon. Hannibal Hanilin, Hon. Simon Cameron, Hon. A. H. Reeder, Hon. David Wilmot, Hori.

'foi Governor, Gen. Henry D. Foster. 'However,. we had a right to entertain a . higher opinion of Col. Cur tin, as a ()Wien of, this , county, than to lend himself to the utterance of insult to the Ger mans in question. It iis far from us to be will fully unjust and unfair towards Col. Curtin, and we are willing that justice he done him, though the Heavens fall. We cheerfully ac-, cept Mr. Struble's exoneration of Col. Curtin in tlie mater, as it becomes our duty, as well as the duty of every honorable Democrat, to discountenance falsehood in every instance. If we have been misinformed by common m inor, WQ are as ready' to Undeceive the public. We would demand the same treatment of our 1 brethren of the press in this comity, if the case effected Gen- Foster ; welherefore cheer fully give the following letter of Mr. Lot &ru ble a place in our columns:— FREDERICK KCRTZ, ESQ Dear Sir :—lu your last piper I notice you charge A. G. Curtin, Esq., with having said in a speech in Bellefonte, in May lust, "that a Dutchman is not like another person ; ho has two sculls, and in order to get an ideainto his head, you must first smash one of his sculls." As this story has been circulated for some time in this neighborhood, and I am quoted as authority for it, I am much pleased to do jus tice to Mr. Curtin, by a plain statement of hOw it originated. In May last I had a trial in court, and Mr. Curtin was my counsel, During the progress of the trial some person remarked in Mr. Cur tin or Mr. Wilson's office (who was also one of my lawyers) that it was hard .to understand the suit; and I remarked that there was no 'trouble in understanding it, except. by the double sculled Dutch. I repeated this after wards iu the street, and on my rattl home' told it. Mr. Curtin. aid nothing of the kind, and I do not know that ho was even present when I made the remark. What I said was without malice and intended for a joke. Be ing a Dutchman myself, I did not expect to ex cite any person by what I said, and certainly did not expect that it would be charged on an innocent party, to his injury. I trust you kill publish this explanation and acquit Mr. Curtin of a charge of which he is innocent. Yours, &c., Messes. NDITORS understand a roport is in circulation that I am the author of the " skull story" circulated to damage the inter ests of Col. A. G. Curtin, I would state that this is not so; I repeated merely what I heard others say. JOHN MUSSER. —Berichter and Advertiser. ' THE FIRST GUN. Verinont gone Republican by over Clap MAJORITY. An Overwhelming majority in .the Legielattire The State election was held in Vermont on Tuesday last. The result was never doubt ed ; the only question was the extent of the majority. IVe are glad to say that the old Green Mountain State has crowned herself with glory and has sot an example well worthy of imitation by her Republican compeers.— Governor Fairbank's majority will exceed 22,000. The majority over both wings of "the Democracy combined shows a Republican gain since last year of over four thousand. The Senate is unanimously Republican, and the House stands, Republicans 175, Democrats 17 —a gain of six Republicans singe last year.— Vermont is the birth-place of Stephen A. Dou glas, and was recently visited by him, as we suppose, in search of the graves of his fathers. The majority in Vermont for Lincoln will reach 40,000 and if.Judgo Douglas only visits it once more before the election, it may reach 50,000. ANOTHER RESULT OF DOUGLAS'S AND BROOK'S Srummo.—The election in Maine, held last Monday, has gone" Republican by 20,000 ma jority. The returns indicate large Republican gains in all the counties. The whole RepubJ lican Congressional delegation is elected. gpar The immense gathering, at the Repub lican Coanty . Convention, on Saturday, has struck terror into the ranks of the Democracy, and they already begin to show signs of fill% as to the result in Lehigh for the County tick etc We think, they have .ample reason for fear and alirrn4 THE ALLENTOWN SEMINAIIY.—We understand, that the fiillowing pupils, at. the Allentown Seminary, undek the charge of Rev.

At the opening of his speeoh some officious member of the Keystone Club brought up before him the small statue of, the "Little Giant" owned by the Keystone Cquk..
