Next Tuesday is tho day of election. Let
every friend of Freedom and Protection do
his duty.' Let him not only attend the elec

our side is there also. Vote full hands,from Gov
rnor to Auditor. Don't neglect a single man
on the ticket. Vote for Curtin for Governor,
Patton for Congress, Gordoa and Lawrence
for Assembly, Murray for Commissioner, and
Irwin for Auditor. They are all good men
rod true, and, If elected, will represent ypu
faithfully.
TURN OUT! TURN OUT!!
Friends of Curtin, Patton, Gordon, Law
rence, Hurray, and Irwin 1 The Democrats
'are busy day and night rallying their forces
for next Tuesday. They are leaving nothing
undono to defeat our candidates. Slanderous
reports and tho most outrageous lies are being
circulated against them in every direction.
Tho campaign is conducted by the Democratic
politicians on the principle that "everything
is fair in politics," hoping that, in some way
or another, they may defeat Curtin at least,
nd thereby give us some trouble to carry
Pennsylvania for Lincoln and Hamlin in No
vember. Their game wont work, however. In
every section of the State our friends are labor
ing zealously. . Immense meetings are held in
rapid succession, the most intense enthusiasm
. prevails, and all feel the flush of certain vic
tory. Lot ns, then, here in Clearfield, bo up
and doing. Let us not fall behind our neigh
' bors. Let us turn out in our strength and our
might, and assist in wresting the government
from the hands of the spoilsmen, who have
run our country to the brink of ruin. If we
' succeed, brighter days will soon follow :
t I KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE, t
That every vote for Foster, at the State elec
' tion, is a vote to sustain and endorse the pres
ent corrupt JNationai Administration ; ..
-- That every vote cast for Foster is a vote in
favor of the spread of Human Slavery ;
i ' That every vote cast for Foster is a vote a
; gainst the Homestead Bill ; -'
That every vote cast for Foster is a vote a

That every vote cast for Foster is a vote ap
proving of the robberies which have been cotn-
- mittea aunng me past tnree or four years by
President Buchanan and his followers upon

That every vote cast for Foster is a vote en
dorsing the Dred Scott decision, which says
that the Constitution carries Slavery into ev
ry Territory of the Union ;
- That every vote cast for Foster is a vote a-
.gainst the admission of Free Kansas ; ;
" . , That every vote for Foster will please all
-who would re-open the African Slave Trade ;
And to this we might add, that every vote
' cast for James K- Kerr, tho Democratic can

AN INFAMOUS CHEAT !
Honesty and fair-dealing seems to be ro
part of the tactics oi some Democratic edi
tors. ' Of late they have been guilty of one of
the most infamous perversiogs ever perpetra
ted in this country. This cheat the last Clear
field Republican contains; It consists in copy
ing a portion of a paragraph from a . speech
made by Carl Shurz, delivered at Springfield,
Massachusetts, on the 4th of January, I860,
and in its mutilated condition, represents him
as saying the very opposite of what be did real
ly u tter. Mr. Shurz had quoted from a speech
of Mr. Douglas, and was showing the inevita
ble conclusions to be drawn from the "Little
Giant's" language. -He was arguing the con
struction Mr. Douglas put on the Declaration
of Independence, and the scope of that im
mortal document, and contended that if Mr.
Douglas's was the correct interpretation, then
the Declaration would be so and so, which Mr.
Shore pat in the following words : ; .
There is your Declaration of Independence,
a diplomatic dodge, adopted merely for the
purpose of excusing the rebellious colonies in
the eyes of civilized mankind. There is your
Declaration of Independance, no longer the
sacred code of the rights of man, but an hypo
critical 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
styledBit"the rights of man," in order to throw
dust into the eyes oi the world, and to invei
gle noble-hearted fools into lending them aid
and assistance. Applause. These are your
boasted Revolutionary sires, no longer heroes
and sages, but accomplished hnmbuggers and
hypocrites, who said one- thing and meant an
other; who passed counterfeit sentiments as
genuine, and obtained money, arms and assis
tance, and sympathy on false pretences ! There
is your great American Revolution, no longer
the great champion of universal principles,
but a mean Yankee trick bursts of applause
and laughter a wooden nutmeg renewed
cheers the most impudent imposition ever
practiced upon the whole world ! Applause.
This is what these fair-dealing (?) Demo
cratic editors quote. Here however, they
stop they do not give the balance of tho par
graph, which is as follows :
This is the way Mr. Douglas wants you to read
and understand the proudest pages of American
History! That is the kind of history with
which he finds it necessary to prop his mongrel
doctrine of popular sovereignty! .That is
what he calls vindicating the character and
the motives and the conduct of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence. Thus he
did not blush to slander Jefferson, who, when
speaking of his country, meant the world, and
when speaking of his fellow-citizens, meant
mankind ; and Franklin, in whoso clear head
theory and practice were the same, and who,
having declared "all men to be born free and
equal," became the first President of the first
great Abolition Society; and John Adams,
the representative of that State which abolish
ed slavery, within its limits with one great
stroke of legislation ; and Washington, who
declared it "his fondest wish to see slavery
abolished by law,',' and affixed to the Declara
tion of Independence the broad, signature of
his heroic sword ; and Madison, who deemed
it "absurd to admit the idea of propeity in
man ;" and of tho framers of the Coustitution,
who took care not to disgrace that instrument
with the word "slavery," and, before adopting
it finally, blotted out from the extradition
clause the word "servitude," avowedly because
it signified the condition of a slave, and substitu
ted the word "service," avowedly because it
signified the condition of a Jreeman. Thus Mr.
Douglas dares to speak of all those true men,
who, alter having proclaimed their principles
in the Declaration endeavored to introduce
them into practical life in almost every State,!
in the way of gradual emancipation That!
they have failed in this, is it a fault of theirs ?
It shows not that they were less great and sin-f
cere, but that subsequent generations werop
hardly worthy of so noble an ancestry ? Api
plause. There is Mr. Douglas's version o.
your history. lie despairs of converting you.
without slandering your fathers. His presenti
doctrines cannot thrive unless planted in a
calumny on the past. He vindicate the sign
ers of the Declaration of Indeiiendeno.p ! In.O 1
deed, they need it sadly. I see the illustrious?
committee of five rise from their graves, ar
their head Thomas Jefferson, his lips curled
with the smile of contempt, and I hear hin Q
say. to Mr. Douglas; "Sir, you may abuse u:0
as much as you please, but have the goodness o
to spare us with your vindications of our char-0
acter and motives." Great laughter and ap-10
plause. 0
. Cutting off, as the Locofoco editors hav
done, the latter portion of Mr. Shurz's remark: b
it puts a very ugly sentiment into his montl
instead of placing it where it belongs, to th(.
account of Mr. Douglas. Will the editor oi
the Republican have the honesty to correct the?
wrong he has done to Mr. Shurz, or will hCp
be a party to this infamous perversion of hi.
language 1 Will ho- have the manliness td ,
give the whole of what Mr. Shurz said in ret
gard to the Declaration of Independence, and
let the readers of tho Republican judge fol
themselves of their force ?
Come, Georgep.
let us hear from you on this subject. If yoiP
believe, as you say, that "foreigners play th
a
fool nearh as often as the natives do." that
to reason why you should attempt to maktjjj
them out worse than they are. Will you makdo
the correction ? We shall probably see;

' THE PEOPLE IN MOTION.
IMMENSE GATHERING IN CLEARFILD.
Last Wednesday evening was a proud one
for the friends of Freedom and Protection in
this region. After but one week's notice, the
largest political meeting that ever convened
in Clearfield, was held at that time by the
friends of Lincoln, Hamlin, Curtin, Patton,
and the rest of the Republican tickets A pro
cession, numbering from 70 to 80 wagons and
buggies, and some horsemen, beaded by the
Curwensville Wide-Awakes, under the con
trol of James E. Watson, as chief Marshal,
and M. Ai Frank, R': V, Spackman and D. G.
Nivling as Assistants, marched through our
streets, and finally halted in front of a stand
erected on Second street, where the meeting
waa organized by the selection of tho follow
ing officers: " ' ' -
President, Hon. Thomas B. Davis.
Vice Presidents Samuel , Fulton, Henry
Ilegarty, James Irwin, Mitchell Reed, Samuel

Secretaries D. S. Moore, Wm. Ten Eyck,
Dr.B. F. Akely,ThomasGraham,Oliver Conk
lin,Wm. Feath, John G. Cain, and Ed. Albert.
After the organization was completed, Isaac
G. Gordon, Esq., was called to the stand, and
discussed the general issues of the campaign.
Gen. John Patton followed him in a few neat
and pertinent remarks. After him, Col. W.
W. Brown made a speech of 2 J hours in length,
reviewing the position of the two great par
ties on the Slavery Question, the TarifF, and
the Homestead Bill.. Wo cannot pretend to
give even a synopsis of the speeches. Suffice
it to say that they were clear, pointed and
convincing, highly creditable to the speakers,
and were received with shouts and other evi
dences of enthusiasm by the immense throng
which surrounded the speakers stand. At a
late hour the meeting adjourned. Before they
left town, the .Wide Awakes serenaded Mr.
Gordon, Col. Brown and J.. B. McEnally,Esq.,
who each made neat and appropriate responses.
MEETING AT GRAHAM TON.
A very respectable meeting of the friends
of Lincoln, Curtin, Patton and the rest of the
Republican Ticket was held at Grahamton
last Saturday evening. John M. Katen "was
selected as President, Amos G. Borneman,
James P.Nelson, John B. Peters and Jacob
Mock as Vice Presidents, and Dr. Wm. Camp
bell and James P. Leonard as Secretaries. The
meeting being fully organized, Joseph B, Mc
Enally, Esq., addressed the people for about
of an hour, giving a clear and comprehen
sive exposition of the position of parties on
the Slavery, Tariff and Horn estead questions,
referred to the extravagance of tho National
Administration, and urged all to . turn out on
the day of election and vote the whole ticket.
After a few remarks by S. J3. Row, the meet
ing adjourned with hearty three cheers for
Lincoln, Hamlin, Curtin, Patton and the rest
of the ticket.

- A NEW EXPOUNDER, .
Mr. Henry D.Foster Is before the People
of the State In the new character of a Constitu
tional expounder. He enlightened us rocent
ly,saysthePAi'aiVorA American, as to the ex-,
act time when the Constitution was adopted,
and furnished some other and equally valuable
and refreshing instruction. He was also great
ly exercised about the Republicans and their
drcadlul doctrines. Take the following as an
illustration :
"The Republicans demand that Congress
shall prohibit the institution of slavery in all
territories of the Union, Where does Con
gress derive any such authority from ?- What
part of the Constitution gives Congress the
power to legislate upon both sides 1 . If they
can say slavery shall-not go into a certain ter
ritory, they can say it may go there. I say
that Congress has no right to interfere with
the matter at all. There is no such power in
Congress," &c. "This is a question, not po
litical, but judicial.". . . -'
These declarations are plain and positive,
like some others made upon the same occasion,
and with just as little regard for the records
of Congress. , Mr. Foster says Congress has
no power at all over the matter. Let us see
what be did, not what he said.
On the 28th. of January, 1845, Mr. Brown of
Tenn., moved his resolution providing that
that portion of Texas lying south of 06 30
shall be admitted with or without slavery, as
the people of the States to be formed out of
it might desire. - -
Mr. Douglas asked him to accept the follow
ing modification after the last clause :
"And in such States as shall be formed out
of said territory, north of said Missouri Com
promise line, 8lavery,or involuntary servitude,
except for crime, shall bo prohibited."
- It was accepted, and, on the division, the
name of "Foster of Pennsylvania," appears
in the affirmative. He thus affirmed the pow
er of Congress emphatically, and so far even
as to obligate new States in the future by the
restriction. More than this, he,with Mr.Doug
las, affirmed the constitutionality of the Mis
souri Compromise which was thus re-enacted,
though Mr. Douglas moved the repeal in 1854,
and was sustained by Mr. Foster. '
"Again, on the 8th of February, 1847, Mr.
Wilmot moved the following nmedment to
the three million bill, popularly known as the
"Wilmot Proviso" :
"And be it further enacted, tkat there shall
be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude
in any territory on tho continent of America
which shall hereafter be acquired by or annex "
ed to the U. States, except for crimes whereof
the party shall have been duly convicted." ; ;
This resolution proposed to exclude slavery
for all time, from all territory to be acquired
or annexed on this continent, and among the
votes in favor of it is "Foster of Pennsylva
nia." He was not only willing to bind himself,
but posterity, to the identical principle which
ho now attacks for a present purpose. He de
nounced Mr. Seward as a radical, and yet vo
ted for a proposition which went far beyond
any movement which Mr. Seward ever made.
As Mr. Foster was apparently anxious to know
where Congress derived tho power to prohibit
slavery in the territories that may be acquired;
we have thought it most convenient, for his
understanding, to furnish the answer from hi:'
own record. He may plead the statue of lira,
itations, but can hardly repudiate the journa'
and his votes. He was among the "agitators'
who began the crusade with Mr.Wilmot,whon
he now complacently assails, forgetting tha,
every word of such censure is a stinging re
buke to himself, and an evidence ot his dou1
ble-dealing on this question.

HENRY D. FOSTER
WHAT DEMOCRATS SAlB OF HIM IS 1857.
, The memorable contest for Senator of the
United States in the Legislature of this State
in the year 1857, must still be fresh' In the
minds of the people of this , country as" the
actions of their immediate representative' in
that matter were very much commented upon
at the time; It will be remembered that Gen.
Foster and Col. John W. Forney were the
Democratic candidates for the U. S. Senate.
Forney received the caucus nomination and
Foster and seven followers refused to give
him their support, and if we mistake not ab
sented themselves from the regular party cau
cus altogether." When the two. houses met in
Convention to elect, Foster's seven followers
voted for him, and he voted for Judge Wilkins
of Pittsburg, and although the Democrats had
five majority on Joint ballot, Gen. Cameron
the nominee of the Republican caucus was
elected upon the first ballot by a majority of
one. Three personal friends ot Gen. Camer
on npon the Democratic side cast their votes
for him, thus securing his election. The Dem
ocratic press throughout" the State were as
bitter in their denunciations of Foster as
they were of the three men who voted direct
ly for Cameron. The editor and proprietor
of the Clinton Democrat is 11. L. Dieffenbauch,
the present Deputy Secretary of State under
Gov. Packer. In the Democrat of January 23,
1857, the following flattering notices of the
present Democratic candidate for Governor
and his associates made their appearance, and
we give them to the public so that all will vote
understandingly : ,
"The Senatorial Electxos. When we
spoke of this shameful event.in our last issue,
our information was derived from telegraphic
dispatches. ' We have the full history of the
occurrence now1 Forney, Democrat, had 58
votes; Cameron, " Republican, G7 j Foster,
Traitor,! J and Mr. Foster himself voted for
Mr. Wilkins. What excuse these rascals make
for their treachery, or whether any, we are
not informed. To" style them Judasses is to
slander Iscanot, for though he betrayed his
Lord, he was decent enough to hang himself
immediately afterwards which these traitors,
we regret to sy have not as yet done. It if
