The Gil} Enterprisers.
We think the radical party ahould
be dubbed the "gift finterpriw con
cern." The greatest "gift-taker"
known is Gen- Grant, and he is radi
cal president of the United State*. Be
sides himself having drawn many gift*
for appointments made, he h* permit
ted all his hangers on to draw fortunee
from the public crib.
Ono of the pioneers in the gift en
terprise business, our readers will re
member, was Mr. Goo. O. Erans, of
Philadelphia, and after he has per
mitted so many of our people to draw
nice little books and picture*, and
bogus watches and silver-ware from
his great gift-book-etorw in Philadel
phia, why should he not know bow to
draw for himself and a few others be
longing to the radical ring, a nice quar
ter million of dollars from the state
funds?
Verily the radical party has been a
big "draw" since it got into power. It
has drawn under tbe constitution; it
has drawn the states assuoder ; k has
drawn us into three billion of debt; it
has drawn hundreds of tbouaapds to
their graTes ; and, to do this, it first
drew the wool over the people's eyes.
Wc think these fellows have done
about enough of drawing, and that the
gift enterprixe and plundering shop
should be closed by the peop;e.
Galphins Gardiner# and Eraiues. :
It seems that the days of the Gardiner J
and Galphin frauds are about being reviv- (
ed under radical rule, and that Mr. Evans,
the wcll-knowa gift enterprise man, is keep
ir.g up the links. The Gelphinet and J
Gardiner* took their half million each j
froi* the national treasury, by fraud aad i
forgery, which did not affect the people of J
this state to the same extent as the recent (
Evans embezzlement- but those were big j
steal* nevertheless, end Mr. Gardiner, it j
will be remembered, afterwards poboned (
hi*Mf Jb hie cell, at Washington. ,
The which tbe radical agent <
Evawetaftls trota tbe state treasury is 1
Whack cam as right out of tbe '
pvckffii of Iks people of Centre county end |
of Pennsylvania, aad hence to us, is far
worse than Use Galphin and Gardiner j

The Democratic Mertlwg.
The meeting in the court-bouse onTuee- j
day evening last, was an old fashioned j
outpouring of the Democracy of old Can- •
tre. The spacious court-room was crow- j
ded to excess. Maj. Harry Foster, we* ,
chosen to preside, assisted by a number of |
vice-presidents. The Pine Grove Mills |
Brass Band was present and discoursed ■
charming music. Gen. M'Cendless, being ,
introduced, made an abla speech upon the i
issues of the hour, and was frequently in
terrupted by bursts ofapplsuse. The gal- J
lant soldier left a favorable impression
among the large audience. He was fol
lowed by Mr. Orvis, whoin an able speech,
reviewed the frauds and corruptions which
are wow so common in high and law pla
ces—the frauds and cortuption of men in
office, and the frauds and corruptions of
men to obtain office, and in the most ela
quent and earnest strains appealed to
democrats to keep their party free from
such taints, by setting their foot upon any
in our own ranks who may be mislead by
the evil examples set by republican offi
cials. By so doing our party would gain
strength and obtain favor. Mr, Orvis,
speech was one of his bert political efforts,
and rounds of applause greated his remark*.
awe
"Gen. Wm. M'Candless,the Democrat
ic nominee for Auditor General, of Penn
sylvania, will address the Democracy of
Centre county, in the Court House, on
Tuesday evening ol Court week. . . .
"John H. Orvis, Esq.. our distinguished I
and able townsman, will also speak on the
same evening.
"Mr. Orvis ...... we believe
has never yet been a member of the Natio
nal Council, although webopo and expect
to see liim there some day in tbe near fu
ture."
The ibove we copy from our neighbor
the Watchman, to give our endorsement
ofallsaidof Mr. Orvis, and relieve the
anxiety of such who were recently made
to doubt that gentleman's democraty. We
think Mr. Orvis is still right, anything con
tained in the letter of Lytle to Chambers
to the contrary noth withstanding.
Brown's paper, which is of
falsification relative to the county finances,
does not say a word about tbe radical
Evan's embezzlement. Pretty s list
Th* steamer Ocean Wave, wbile on an
excuraion up Fish river, starting from Mo
bile with 200 persons on board, on 27th,
exploded her boiier, by which from 60 to
70 persons were killed and wounded.

Mr. Editor: Will you publiah the en
oloaed Article* in your paper, in order that
vour numeroua resders who do not take
: th# 1 R'ntrAsmiii" myr have tha advantage
of reading them. The flrst is <V.>ni the
"IMltfont* of Aug rd, the
other ffom the "Dtmotrntir WattKman"
of Aug. 2ftth I#7l. A oareftil stud/ of
; the** two articles will give to any reflect
in* mind a gwod idea of radical illiberality
and unfairness. In the first place, the
whole subject it one belonging stclusively
* to the Internal organisation of our party,
" with which neither a radical editor nor the
' radical party hat any thing whatever to div
a Rut fbr the preeent we wilt waive this, to
IUL per foot intvtr to lh *
1 urticUv unit inquire what tht dUtiviCt ptMiitt
glliilged ggainst our candidate for astern
" bly are and then see how perfect the
* defense it. . „ ,
lit. It is ailed ged that our candidate prt
or to our aloclloii •ihlbilou any
\ used in Fbtfrr and Stilrt township* against
9 Mr. Orvls his competitor, a letter purjHirt
, ing to have been vrrittan by IAAAI LYTLB
of Bellefonte to JMW CM AM aaaa of Fat
ton township, both being radicals, and the
1 former secretary ot their countv commit-
That this letter, while ostenaibly writ
-1 ten in the interest of Mr Orvls, waa *o
i worded aa to damage hia prospect* and as
sist our candidate, Hon. F. u. Meek.
fi, That James Chambers nyver received
; (hat, or any similar letter (Kim Capt. Isaac
\ That CaU- l*aau Lytle never wrote
that ot any similar letter to James Cham
&. That our candidate Mr. Meek, ha#
told Capt Lytle that he iMeek) had him
self written the letter in Millbiem and
knowing the Caput in to be a great fhend
of bis, took the liberty ot attaching his
name to it. .. . . ,
fi, That this proves our noble standard
bearer to be guilty of a trick, a fraud, a
forgerv, end morally unfit to represent the
honest people of Centre county in the Leg-
Wo deny that the conclusion contained
in tha 6th point would follow if everything
ailed ged in the first five point* were prov
en or confessed. A* Mr. Meek does not
deny the first three allegations we auppoee
that the radicals will contend that they are
literally true, and tor that reason we will
assume that they are admitted by eur can
didate and will ahow that they establish
nothing against bis character. A* to th#
4th point, while it would seem that Capt
Lytle did not write the particular letter to
Mr. James Chambers which was exhibited
by Mr. Meek, yet it clearly appears by his
own confession that he did write a'her jef
ler# which ne doubt contained as much if
not more mischievous matter as the one
which our candidate used. As to the state
ments alledgvd in the fifth point to have
been made by Mr. Meek to Capt Lytle we
are Tery dubious. In the first place we
hire too muck coftltit&ct in th* discretion
and sagacity of Mr. Meek to believe he
would at any time confide in a radical al
though he was a pretended friend, and es
pecially would be bo auspicious of every
one counted with their organisation. He
certainly has not forgotten how they per
secuted him during tne war, and he mual
certainly know that Capt. Lytic or any
other radical politician, would betray him
whenever an opportunity offered. Kvett if
the conversation did take place it shows th*
unsuspecting confidence of our candidate,
and hi* consciousness of th* innocense
and propriety *f what he had done. Let
us examine iL Mr. Meek well knowing
that Capt. Lytle and other radical politi
cian* while professing to be hia warm per
sonal friends, were striving to accomplish
the overthrow of the great Democratic par
ty by securing his defeat and to that end
were talking and writing letters in favor ol
th* nomination of Mr. Orvis and not being
able to procure one of these letters when
wanted, rmridaenf whet he knew to be
contained in them in th* form of a letter
from Capt. Lytle to Jame* Chambers and
used this reproduction in Miles and Penn
to baffle the schema* af the enemies of our
petty. In doing this Our Candidate made
the innoceht mistake of addressing it to
James Chamber* when that gentleman had
not in reality received any such document
The address however is immaterial and the
name of James Chamber* we* designed
more to represent the persons to whom th*
radical letters were actually sent In all
this our candidate was perfectly excusable ■
—undoubtedly the end he accomplished ,
justified the resort to any means necessary i
to accomplish it It is an old maxim well ]
understood that everything is fair in war, ,
love, and politic*. This letter was a legit- 1
imatc weapon in his hands with which to j
foil the radicals or defeat his competitor, i
No democrat can complain that Mr. Meek
should use such means to secure hit own
nomination for be has frequently made use |
of such weapons In fighting the battles of
the party ana we have all taken the benefit 1
of his talents and genius. Who has for
gotten the excitement and consternation in ]
tne radical camp in 1860 created by the
publication in tne WatcAman of a letter
purporting to have been written in the far
west nlledging that TWITCMELL. who I
murdered ha mother-in-law was there, and
that instead of having committed suicide
in prison as was reported, had been secret- J
ly pardoned by Gov. Geary in considera- ,
tien of a large sum of money. It took
Geary and bis abolition cohorts weeks to
successfully meet aad refute the suspi
ctons thus started by a letter created by
the genius of our editor when be was not a
candidate. Who can estimate the advan
tage our party derived from this brilliant
display ot the versatile talent and iodomi- ,
table pluck of our gallant standard bear- |
* r 7 * I
Again, during the last session of our ,
Legislature a radical scheme to create a ■
monopoly by incorporating th* Beech ,
Creek Improvement Company was delayed (
for weeks and months by means of letters t
manufactured by our candiadat# and j
shown by him to Senator Millar and otb- <
ers, and the scheme would in all probabili- |
ty been defeated by the ability and watch- ,
ftilness of Mr. Meek if the roosters of the ,
senate bad not Uken a mean advantage of t
hi* sudden but brief illness the day before <
the final adjournment. Many other in- t
stance* might be given of the exercise of his ,
creative geniui far the good ef hie party |
and constituents, but time and space will (
not allow, certainly no one can object to ,
the exeraite of the same talent in his own ,
behalf. i
But w need not rest tbe defense of Mr.
Meek upon the authority of his own prcvi- ,
ou* course in battling for th* perty. Many ,
historic examples can be found where sim- |
ilar acts have been justified when used for t
a good purpose. When Lord Clive was <
carrying on that terrific war against Su- t
Sah Dowiab by which English power and
e were established In India, he found it j
necessary to secure the co-operraiion of t
Omicbund, a wary Hindoo, who demanded i
three hundred thousand pound* sterling as <
the price of his treason and insisted that t
sn article to that effect should be inserted (
,in the treaty about to be entered into be- t
tween Meer Jeffier end the English i
Lord Clive had two copies of the treaty (
prepared. The one contained the etipule
tion in fevor of Omicbund, the other did <
not. The real traaty was duly executed; i
but the one shown to Omicbund wsa ficti
tious, end had the name of Admiral Wat- |
son forged to it by Lord Clive himself. <
Br this means the treacherous East In- i
dians were held until after the battle of |
Plaaaey, when the English were strong |
enougn to take care of themselves. That 1
Lord Clive *u perfectly justifiable in <
what be did is clearly shown by Sir John |
Malcolm, his biographer, and we *ro con- |
fident that our readers will come to the
tame conclusion, notwithstanding the fact ,
that Macaulay, the historian and revitwer, t
takes the other side. Many other instan- i
ce* of the manufacture or written docu- {
menu to secure soma greet end, have been i
justified in history; but it ia uoqepossery to
cite them, as the general principle js fully <
established in Machiavelli's ''Prince/'
We have thus shewn, that even according
to radical showing, our candidate baa done
nothing which he was not ftilly justified in
doing by the well reoownixed rule# of poli
tical warfara. Then let every democrat
buckle on the armor and zealously and
valiantly fight tbe battle* of hi* perty un
der the leadership of so able and worthy
a commander as Hon. P. G. Meek. We
need such a man in our hgialative halls.
When the radicals are resorting to all
kinds of frauds and corruption to reUin
their uuboly grasp of power, we should be
represented by one who can fistbom all
their deiignt ana baffle thair best laid
schemes. Thi* can only be done by one
who is master of fincsae and strategy. Ab
olitionisU will not fight openly, manfully
and fairly. Their own weapons should be
turned against them. Our nominee has
proven himself pre-eminently qualified to
maintain our cause against the machina
tions of radical placemen. Let every hon
est democrat give him a hearty s^jorV
The following are the articles referred

Before proceeding to discuss iKf ekangtt
and the addition* which ought to be mad*
to the rule* governing the election of dele
gate* and the conductor conventions in our
county, it will probably be well to oon>
pare the delegate convention system, with
it* great rival, the system of primary elec
tion* in which the voter* designate directly
the candidate* of their choice, and which u
popularly known a* the "Crawford Cs>."
system It cannot be denied that the lat
ter mode of making nomination* ha* the
appearance of being extremely demo
cratic and therefore it *uppoeed by the un
thinking to be a sovereign panarea for all
the evil* to which the delegate convention
system i* subject. But wo think every one
who investigate* the working* of the two
mode* of making nomination* ditpassion
ataly, will come Pi the conclusion that the
merit* of the Crawford Co. *y*tem are illu
sory. MTc shall state a few of the many
reason* which appear to u* to favor the
delegate convention a* the better mode ol
making oounty nominations; and ii| doing
*o shall arrange them under two head* vix:
Ist, the positive advantage* of tho conven
tion y*tem of organization ; and 3 id the
defect* and vice* of the Crawford Co. sys
tem. Under the flrst head we offer.
Ist, The county organization on the
plan of a delegate convention, conform* to
the plan of organization in force in tho
state and nation, Uniformity In the plan
of organisation, if certainly very desirable
and tnis can only be attained by mean* of
conventions, for it muil be evident to all
that the Crawford Co. system could not
well be applied to the nomination of a
Governor or President.

of our government, wncp i* f reprnanta

be no greater guarantee that fraud* will
not be perpetrated at primary election*

other countries, to Austria, Switzer
land and Italv, where there are alrea
dy violent political struggles against

Bismarck is warring against the Catho

licved that Germany would not main
tain the infallibility dogma to which
the syllabus or encyclical letter of the
Pope copnemnjpgand reject
ing trie modern liberties doctrine to
which there was such strong opposi
tion manifested, referred. Dr. Dol
linger again disclaimed any intention
of establishing a new religion or hc|mi -j

What was necassury was general ec

requested the landlord where hestopped
next night to confine him in the morn

trot along by his side until a suspicious l
looking customer made hi* appearance'
in frouf of the traveler, when the dog|
at once attacked the highwayman

he meant no harm. Mr. 8. continued
his journey, mentally determining that
he would never part with his defender.
After trudging along a while, thank

GREELEY ON GRANT.

(Kroia the New York San.]
We found the Hon. Horace Gree
, lev at the Union League club house
on Thursday last. He was in exuber
ant spirits, cheerful, joyou#, and yet
.a- tccrcuc * au October *uiri*c. Af
, ter shaking hand* with him. we said.
I; "Mr. Greeley, I come to you from
the Sou, the paper that sup|Mirts you
for the presidency. Hearing that you
arc about to make a trip to toe west, I
i have come to learn when yu propose
•o Ma it, where you intend to go, aud
what vi*u propose to do. I want the
, information for publication in the Sun,
. the pnjK-r that supports you for the
presidency; so p!cac don't say any
thing which you would pot like to
to have printed."
"Well," *aht Mr. Greeley, "I'm
: much ob'iged to the Sun, and will tell
Jyoti all 1 now know about my route
■ with pleasure. It is not yet fully de
cided upon. 1 intend to travel
ihrough Minnesota, lowa, Wisconsin,
Illinois and Ohio.
"I)o you intend to go to Hants'"-
we a*kod.
id Mr. Grweley, "I don't
j think I shall gel ns far smith as Kan
sas. Minneapolis is my pivit point.
I am to b? there to *|ieak Tor the Min
nesoto agricultural society,on the loth
of SeptemWr. That is positive. I
I shall have New York ou tlio luoiiiing:
jof the 4th of September. I may sja-ak
l in Lafuyelle, liuiiasa, on the />tli, hut
tliat is not certain. 1 shall be in
|Chicago on the 6th, and then 1 shall
know what my future route will be.
I Mr. Blias, n lecture agcut, of Janes-'
ville, Wiscousin, will have it laid out.j
Jfor me. OIIG in New York cannot
project a lecture tour through so many
: western states w ilhoul danger of get
ting tangled up in liis appointments,
. but mine will all he arranged. I shall
1 probably be in ttarreltsviTle, Ohio, ou.
| the 25tli of September.
"What are you going to lecture
about?" we asked.
"Well," Mr. Greeley, "I shall speak 1
at as many agricultural fairs as possi
ble ; and when ] can't hit them, 1 shall
lecture oh miscellaneous topics, some
times on the southwestern country —
say, Texas and the southwest."
"I suppose you will have to touch
on political matters now and then," |
| we sai<t. i
"Yes," replied Mr. Greeley, "I sup
pose I shall."
"Did you read the leader in last
Tuesday's Sou ?"
"Tuesday," said Mr. Greeley.
"That was day before yesterday. Yes,
I read that article."
"That embodied some of the results
of Mr. Dana's observations, and of his ■
conversations with leading republi
cans. during his recent tour in the
northwest. How does it with
your own views on the political situa
tion r
"I think it pretty nearly expresses
the general feeling, f 'said Mr.Greeley.
"There is no doubt that there is a very
widespread feeling of dissatisfaction •
with the administration among radi
cats. My judgment is, that General
i Grant has made too many enemies to
run —that he is not the candidate that
can he elected. Therefore it is neces
. sary to have another candidate, and 1
, ana not quite ready to consider who
i that candidate should bp. T'" 10 must
i determine that question. If we do not
. make a new departure, the democrats
i are very likely to do it. I shall have
; nil article in ihe next number of the
| Galaxy on the One Term principle,
t and there you cap gef my full views
> on that subject,
"The republican party," continued
Mr. Greeley, "has been split up so in
Texas, Jxuisana, Alabama and other
sections, hy unwise management, that
we are very likely to be beaten, not
withstanding our large republican ma
jority, unless we take a new candidate.
Too many persons think there i no
> chance for them—that everything has
been parcelled out mi l divided tip
( . among a certain set. Tho fact is,'
K said Mr. Greeley, with melancholy
} _ emphasis, "thorn is a general fooling
[' that tho Grant family is too Urge.
„ "With a new cuiitlidalv wo should
f. out-flank this general dUsatisfltction,
q and hi ing forces to our aid that can
ir not U- rallied under the Grant han
i4 uer. Wo have u very large and most
o respectable (tarty of old wliigs at the
\ south, who hatu democrats as ihey hate
ha rattlesnake, hut who can't and won't
fi come iu under those carjiet-haggeni
t, who are running the southern gov
( . eminent*. Give us a new ami clean
I) ticket, and thousand* of them will
r . come in ami work for us. Tliay have
i, assured me they will. The slate of
f Virginia can he carried by their votes,
i, if we have a satisfactory candidate,
i# 1 know them. Hut they won't vote
p for anybody whom they lielieve to be
i, running this old machine that is now
t running down there. Iu North (Jam
, lina the old whigt compose one-half of
>. the whole conservative element, and
are dreadfully hitler against demo
y crats, hut they can't go the present
t state of things. So it is all ttirough
t the south aud southwest We must
t have a new and clean ticket to sweep
r those sections."
o At thi* point Mr. Greeley paused,
~ and seeing that there were a number
. of distinguished personage* waiting for
. a chance to spealc with nim, we gath
ered up our notes, and bade him
adieu. As we turned to go, he said, as
a parting shot:
"As soon as I learn more definite!\
' what my future route will be, I will
t send you the information."
