Mai Welsh's Address. We call attention
to Ihe address of the Hon. Wm. H. Welsh,
Chairman of the Democratic State Execu
tive Committee, which will be found in to
day's Star. For a document of importance
it is brief, and exhibits in a lucid style and
"nervous language, the peculiar position of
the Democratic party at the present time,
the duty which every Democrat owes to
his country in the crisis,and the or.ly means
in the use of which we shall be able to res
cue our beloved Commonwealth and the
whole Union from the hands of the 'Philis
tines," which are against the rights and in
terests of our common country.
We heartily commend this address to all
Democrats, and earnestly solicit them to
reflect calmly on the advice contained in it,
and to use the means which it suggests.

.Thb Republicans of Montour county have
made the following nominations : For Com
missioner, Charles Fenstermacher; Treas
urer, Thomas Jameson ; Auditor, Pete? Har

Committee to make . a nomination if thej
ahonid think proper. They instructed con
ferees for Scbaktos for Congress. Also in
strocted conferees for Boukd of Milton, for
Senator. The Representative conferees
-were appointed without instructions. We
are '4nt'ormed that the Republican party

at last fused with the Douglas, and Bell and
Everett parties. Though in 1856 that State
gave Fremont 80,000 majority, yet strong
and reasonable hope is entetained that she
may this fall be redeemed from Republican
misrnle, against which even Greeley cries.
He says, tbatfor the next eight weeks the
Republican party , has i harder work to do
than it ever did before." While the spirits
of the opposition are flagging and beU
depressed, those of the Democrats are be
ing "cotnmensurately elevated, and they

Judge : DodgWas and his friends arema-
ing strong and persistent efforts to convince
the people that Mr. Breckinriege is, first,
the Disunion candidate, and, secondly, the
exponent of the doctrine of Congressional
intervention for the establishment of slavery
in the Territories.
Nothing is more destitute of truth than
both of these propositions, and none know
this belter than those who make the charges.
No act or ixrord of Mr. .Br eck.in ridge,, in
dicating disunion sentiments, has been, or
can be pointed out.
Indeed, the last ' speech he made, which
was delivered in Kentucky, after his elec
lion to the Senate, is full of patriotism, con
servatism and attachment to the Union
The strongest characteristic ol that speech,'
is i s calm and dignified denunciations of
those bad tr en and fanatics, who aim at the
dismemberment of ths Confederacy. In lan
guage of fervid and majestic eloquence he
deplores the dangers which they have
brought upon the country, and appeals to
all good and true men to unite in a common
effort to frustrate their wicked designs, and
to preserve in their integrity the Constitu
tion and the Union. But in a few days, he
himself, pressed to the wall by his enemies,
relentlessly pursced by base detraction and
malignant aspersion, will make, before the
American people, vindication of himself,
that will forever set at rest this most wanton
and unfounded accusation.
' The second chargei like the first, is with-'
out the shadow of truth.
When and whee did Mr. Breckinridge
ever express the opinion that Congress
should intervene for the establishment of
slavery in the Territories? We defy his
enemies to answer. On the subject of sla
very in :ho Territories, he holds that doc
trine 'which is common to all good Demo
crats, North and Sooth the doctrine of non
intervention. We know of but one promi
nent politician who advocates intervention
for the establishment of slavery in the Ter
ritories, and that is Senator Brown of Mis
sissippi. So different are Mr Breckinridge's
opinions on this point from Senator Brown's
that it has been thought, the Mississippi
Senator would withhold from him his sup
port. It is only recently, that he has pub
lished a letter, in which he finds fault with
Mr. Breckinridge for not maintaining this
doctrine of intervention. He says that this
constitutes, in his mind, an objection to our
candidate, but that he will sustain him on
account of the general coincidence of opin
ions between them on other subjects.
This charge that our candidate and his
frienJj hold this doctrine of intervention, is
not only rank injustice, but it is sheer non
tense. Mr. Yancey even does not hold i.
In his la:e speech he indignantly repudiates
it, and declares that no Democrat entertains
it. ;
Bat Mr. Breckinridge holds, aid all good
Democrats and all conservative men of all
parties hold, that in the Territories, which
are the common property of the nation, all
the citizens of the United Sta'esare protect
ed by the Constitution, in their property
the slaveholder as well as the rest. The
Constitution goes into the Territories and
covers them as soon as they become Amer
ican Territories. I goes there before the
squatter, it goes there-to govern and protect
him onli! he is able to govern and protect
himself. The Constitution does not create
or establish any property ; it only protects
the citizen who removes into a Territory in
the'tenjoyment of his property.
When the Territory is organized and ac
quires sufficient population to authorize it
to make a Constitution,and to eutitle it toad-
mission, into the Union as a sovereign State,
then it can ei'her admit or prohibit slavery
Th'iR is the Democratic doctrine, and far

Verilt this is ax age of wonder, excite

Friday evening la.t, while the majority of
the good citizens of the peaceful town of
Bloomsburg were cosily locked in the pleas

is his' name,) a voice cried through the
air "Fellow citizens of Bloomsburg." Im
mediately half-formed visions vanished
thoughts of a Harper's Ferry, or Texas in
surrection succeeded, and donning our wear
ing apparel in "hot haste," we hurried to
the scene of action. On reaching the front
of the Court House, we found assembled a
respectable number cf our fellow-citizens,
who were intently listening to "the accents
For the Star of the North.
The Light Street Orator.
Mr. Editor: Indifference to newspaper
scribblers is a characteristic of all great men,
hence, I presume that ibis article will pass
unnoticed. But since he has become the
bright light of Republicanism in this feclion
the exponent of their political faith, and
especially on the subject of the tariff well
may the shades of the sages of Ashland and
Marshfield sink to rest, since those bright
luminaries are eclipsed by the newly dia
covered genius of Light Street. I wonder
much at this great light being hid 60 long
under a bushel. But it has passed into an
axiom that 'Republics are ungrateful,"
hence the reason of our hero's past obscur
ity. I have heard those wonderful bursts of
eloquence in the Court House, and yet so
strong is the influence of prejudice, that
they tailed to convince me of the error o
my ways.
Our ''Luminary" pretends to be a strong
tariff man, and claims that the Democracy
of this State and elsewhere, is a free trade
party. Local circumstances control the
opinions of all parlies on this subject. Thus
in the South we have , a gieat many free
trade Democrats and free traJe Whigs. In
the the Easterr. and Western Stales we have
a great many free trade Republicans a!t?o.
But it is nevertheless, an indisputable fact,
that since ihe formation of our governmentj
six protective lariffs have been passed, and
the record proves that five out of these six
wtre passed by ihe Democratic party. The
tariff bill of 1789 passed without any male
rial opposition.. That of 1816 followed and
was strongly advocated by John C. Calhoun.
Next came the tariff act of 1824, against j
which Daniel Webster, the leader of the
Whig party, voted ; and for which J.tmes
Buchanan, now a Democratic President ot
the United Slates, voted. Next came the
high tariff of 1828 which Henry Clay, ano
ther prominent Whig hsader. severely tie
nounced, while Martin Van Buren, Thomas
Benton and other prominent Democrats
voted for it. This was one of ihe most pro
tective bills ever passed. The next tarsfl
bill passed of a protective nature, was in
1832, for which James K. Polk and George
M Dallas both voted, the latter being U. S.
Senator, from Pennsylvania. The tariff of
1842 succeeded, which the Whig party
claimed the merit of passing. This bill,
though protective in its nature, yet was on
justly so, discriminating in favor of particu
lar sections, and taxing articles, which,
from their nature should be free. Yet the
Democratic party of Pennsylvania even here
maintained its consistency and voted against
the act of 1846 with the exception ol David
Wilraot, the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor in this State in 1857, and the same
gentleman who was to address the people
of Bloomsburg, in company with Mr. Cur
tin, a few weeks aso. But in 1857 the Re
publican party were in power, elected N.
P. Banks, a noted fiee trader, as Speaker of
the House. The Committee on Ways and
Means appointed by him was free trade, and
they framed a bill still further lowering the
tariff of 1846, which they successfully en
gineered through Congress. The Morrell
bill of last Congress was framed with the
avowed purpose of having it defeated, in
order to make political capital at the com
ing election. It was not prepared until near
the close of the session, so that even if it
had been acceptable in all its provisions,
the Senate had no time to fully consider it
.We have thus we believe fully proved
that the Democratic party is, and always

A Scurvy Trick.
In the summer of 1S54, a servant girl,
named Hannah Meng!e, in the family of
Mr 1 Curnming, of Bellefonte bought a tck
et in a lottery, held by J.: M. Lytle, at
Mountain House, Blair county, by which
she drew a carraiae valued at S3000. The
riage was given in charge of Mr. Cum
mings, to deliver to the girl, but he charged
the girl in sett ement of her wages with the
ticket, and locked np the carriage. Acting
under the advice of A DREW G. CUR TIN,
Cnmraings refused to deliver the vehicle
over to the girl. She brought suit to recov
er the property she had fairly drawn in the
distribution of articles at the Mountain
House. Throuah the influence of Cnrtin
and a Know Nothing inry, and notwitn- i
standing the judge charged directly against
the defendant, she loit her dollar and her car
riage. The verdict was not guilty but the
defendant to pay the cost. This is literally
true, and can be substantiated from the rec
ords of the Court of Centre county, and it
shows the honor and manliness of Andrew
G. Curtin the Black Republican candidate
for Governor, in aiding to cheat apoor girl
out of her property, which she had fairly
won and which every risht-minded man
will say justly belonged to her. What think
the people of Pennsylvania of a man who
would be guilty of 6uch meanness i Bnt it
is consistent with the character of the noto

are part and parcel of his nature Alfflin

SltB OF THB MONTOUC IrOM WORKS.
The Montour Iron Works Jocated in Mon
;our.:And Lycoming counties, were 6old at
the Merchants' Exchange last week, by or
der cf the trustees of a mortgage of 28lh of
September, 1835. The property consists of
rolling mills, furnaces, dwelling houses, of
fices,, lands, mineral, lands, ore, mining
righu, &. The works ol the company are
erected in the borough ol Danvi la. The
landsi sold comprised two thousand acres,
and Ihe dwelling houses numbered upwards
of thtee hundred, , Mr. Joseph A. Clay, at
torney fo? the parties interested in the works
bid ;100,COO. There was no other bid,
and Ihe property was accordingly "knock
ed down" to him. The terms of sale were
20.000 cash ,'an'dthelalance oh the exe-
was an extemporaneous political gat
and as cheer after cheer went up for Bell
and Everett, the crowd increased and also
the curiosity to know ihe speaker who dared
"make night hideous" by thus proclaiming
his political faith. Bat, scarcely had hi
voice died away upon the listning air, when
another speaker took his place and boldly
proclaimed himself a Breckinridge man, in
favor of the "Constitution and the equality
of the States " He spoke briefly of the
tariff and various other issaes before the
American people, and the frequent demon
strations of applause proved that the sym
palhies the crowd were with him. But no
sooner was his place vacated than it was
filled by a fine looking man with a voice
like a Stentor,who announced his allegiance
to the Republican party, and proceeded to
arsue why its candidates should be adopted.
Candor compels us to acknowledge that ii
was a masterly effort, and Lincoln and Ham
lin lost nothing in his hands. Still another
speaker was announced, who took up the
euantlet for the "Little Giant." He spoke
at some length, and if he did not succeed
in convincing his hearers that Douglas was
right, he showed that he was in ;irnesf, and
nobly would contend even though single-
handed against all opposition. The speak
er's remark elicited frequent applause, es
pecially from the clique at the base of the
steps. But the end was not yet. Though
Gen. Houston has withdrawn himself from
the Presidential contest, yet one faithful ad
herent, it seems, denys his right to resign,
and zealously endeavored to win the suffra
ges of those present, by appeals to their
patriotism and 6ense of duty. The speaker
at the close of- his remarks, it was noticed,
was somewhat home. To the surprise and
disgust ot many, an advocate of Gerritt
Smith dared make his appearance. Not
withstanding the threats of "rotten eggs."
"tar and feathers," etc., the speaker contin
ued his remarks plainly announcing the
'irrepressible conflict" and citing Seward,
Giddings, Greeley and others as brothers-in-
law, all beina wedded to the daughters of
of Madam Abolitionism. He strongly la
mented John Brown's fate, comparing him
in Washington, etc. 'He soon found out
however, that he was not in New York, and
consequently could raise no enthusiasm
here. At the close of the last speech, the
speakers disappeared as mysteriously as
they came, leaving their entry and exit a
subject for future discussion.

In this emergency, the State Committee,
actuated" by leelings of patriotism, and
prompted only by a wish to secure the tri
umph of the "good old cause," endeavored
to a'jree upon a course of action that would
enable the D"mocratic masses to unite upon

to make a common effort against ihe candi

consolidate the operation to our common
political enemy I", is fimply a question
between Republicanism and Democracy ;
and, as such, it is committed with confi
dence to the calm good sense of ihe people
of Pennsylvania.
It cannot be denied that the union of the
Democratic party' will result in a brilliant
triumph in October. On that initial battle
all our energies must now be concentrated.
We have a leader worthy of our cause.
With an enthusiasm never before equalled
in any political assemblage, Henry D.Fos
ter, of Westmoreland, was selected as our
standard bearer in that important contest.
He did not seek the nomination. He re
peatedly declined being a candidate for the
office. When struggling partisans met at
Reading to adtance the interests of iheir
peculiar favorites, he remained in the quiet
retirement of his own home, with no tho't
of personal advancement, and anxious on'y
for the success of Democratic principles.
The presentation of his name to the Con
vention was met by a prompt withdrawal,
at his urgent solicitation, cut wnen me
voice of ihe people unanimously praclaira
ed Kim the leader of the party in his native
Commonwealth, he did not refuse to obey
the call to duty, yet seeking no preferment
by any word or act of his own. The record
of his life is the record of a Pennsylvania
patriot. In every position he has occupied,
he has obeyed the instincts of his nature in
laboring for the good of those who gave
him place and power. The purity ol his
private character ; the ability which marks
eery act of his public life ; the devotion
he has shown to the industrial interests of
Pennsylvania in ihe halls of our National
Congress and Nta'e Legislature ; the zeal he
has ever brought to bear upon all questions
invoicing the true policy of our State Gov

sonian Democracy, in others the American
party, while in others the Abolition party.
But no rran in his senses will affirm that it
is the Whig party, hence tney can claim no
praise for what the Whigs have done, even
if we should grant that that parly favored
protection. The Republican party arose
within the last few years, and is based
wholly on the idea of slavery. Its open and
avowed object is to exterminate it, and to
this end is the party pledged. But short
as its existence has been, we have demon
strated that they passed the tariff bill of
1857, which their orators, with the excep
t'mn of the one from Light Street, do not,
and can not deny. One firm in New Eng
land gave Thnrlow Weed and other Repub
licans S80,000 to lobby the bill through Con
gress. These are historical facts. David
Wilmot, a noted free-trader, leads the party
in Pennsylvania. N. P Banks another
frPo.imHr rules in Massachusetts. Bryant
a popular journalist, and consistent fr-e tra
der, for lorty years past., u at :he head ot
the Republican elecoral ticket in .New
York, and says distinctly that the Chicago
Platform favors free trade. Lincoln ed,.r- ; h . ,he SlaW Commnee ieels
. t . ! ' l . .
es sid platform, which is thus pecol.itrly
adapted to two interpretations; and by th
er acts in his meagre political life, hs
proved that he is no friend to the protection
of American industry. Hannibal Hamlin,
the candidate for Vice President is, beyond
contradiction, a free-trader, and voted lor
the tariff of 1846.
And now, voters of Columbia county,
with these facts before you, can you sup
port the nominees of the Republican par y
which is all things to all men ?" We trust
not. But above all, attend 'he meetings of
the Republican Club at ihis place; mark
the inconsistencies acd contradictions of ihe
speakers, and your doubts as to iheir can
dor will be verified. VERDAD.
General Fostbr By way of the N. Y.,
City dailies we learn that General Foster,
our candidate for Governor, has at last con
cluded to take the slump. The Chairmen
of the Democratic and , Republican State
Central Committees are araauging a series
of meetings for him and Col. Curtin, at
which both are to address the people upon
the issues involved in the campaign. We
are not yel informed pf the time and place
of these meetings. . : '
Thb people in New Haven are seeing
stars in the day time. That is not a new
discovery. But, says the Providence Jour-

ple duty is required of the Democratic
masses. The State Committee is not active

sure and certan precursor of victory. We
must be united in the contest, or our cause
is utterly hopeless. - Parties, as well as na
tions, perish before the evil genius of dis

LANGUAGE WITHOUT A MASTER,
PUBLISHED THIS DAY.
French, German, Spanish, Latin aad Italian
Languages without a Master. Whereby
acy one or all ol these Languages can be
learned by any one, without a Teacher,
wiin the aid of ihis book. By A. H. Mon
tkuh, Esq,
The Robertsonian Method of Learning
the French, German, Spanish, Latin and
liaiian Languages without the aid of a teach
er, has lor the ia-t ten years, been success
fully tested throughout the whole European
Jotuinent; and is, wi hou: a single excep
tion, used in leaching the modern languages
in all the educational institutions of Eng
land, France and Germany. In Loudon.
Mr. A H. Monleith, the most celebrated
teacher ol Languages in ihe world, ha ar
ranged and perlecied this system ; and his
works on the stuJy ol r-rencn, merman,
Spanish, Latin and kalian without a blaster,
contained in this volume, immediately ob
tained a sudden and extraordinary popular
ity. Any perbon unacqnainled with these
lan"na2e. can wilh the aid ol this volume
b enabled to read, write, and speak the
language of ei'her, without the aid of
teacher, or any oral instruction whatever,
nrovided thev oav strict attention to ihe
inMructions laid down in ihe work, and that
nothing shall be passed over without a
thorough investigation of the subject it in
volves ; by doing which they will rind them
selves to be able to speak, read, or write
either language, at their will and pleasure.
The whole contained in twenty-seven easy
Lessons. The French is in six easy lessons,
Spanish is in four, German is in six. Latin
is in six, and Italian is in rive easy Lessons,
or twenty-seven in all This work is inval
liable t any person wishing to learn either
or all of these languages, and is worth to
any one. one hundred times its cost. This
work has alreaJy run through several larg
editions in England ; lor no person has ever
bought a copy of it, without recommeuing
it to iheir Iriends. Everybody should pos
sess themseives of a copy of it at once.
Complete in one large duodecimo volume,
bound in cloih. Price One Dollar and Twenty-Five
Cents a copy only.
Re-'d wh it Dr. Shtlton Mackenzie, the Literary
Eihtor oj the Philadelphia Daily Pres,
soys of it editor tally in that paper :
''There is no royal road to learning; but
where the learner heavily dragsed on his
lumbering way in former times, he now has
a new track and wonderful engines, which
facilitate his progress. Study this book
carefully, and you can acquire near half a
dozen languages in the time usually wasted
upou the imperfect acquisition of one. Sad
ly, as well as wisely, did Milton write, 'We
do amiss to spend f.even or eight years
merely in scraping together as much Latin
and Greek as muht be learned easily and
delightfully in one year.' John Lock, Syd
ney Smith, and other great autnors, uedr
like testimony.
"Monteith's Book, here Detore ns, pro
fesses to make anv one of reasonable capac
ity and suitable industry, read. wri;e, and
speak five languages (lour of them living
tongues) without any assistance :rom a tea
cher. Elihu iJurritt s case shows how in
tellect and the desire to learn, can make a
man master the principal dead and living
languages. This book, and a real desire to
learn the language, will enable a student to
leach himself French in on incredibly short
time : and so with the other languages.
Tne Messrs. Peterson confer a great benefit
on society by publishing this book."
