REPUBLICAN
MASS MEETING.
The friends of Lincoln and Hamlin will hold
a Mass Meeting in Clearfield Borough,
ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22d.
at 3 orclock in the afternoon. Speakers will
1m; present to address the people.
IIox. A. G. Cirtix, the Governor elect, has
promised, if ho is in the State, to attend.
COME ONE ! COME ALL 1 ! Let there be
a general turn-out.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY VICTORIOUS.
Never was there a more decided victory
than that just achieved by the Republican par
ly. Tho contest was open and hard fought.
Vet the victory is complete. Tho Republi
cans carry the States of Indiana, Ohio and
Pennsylvania. Our majority in Indiana is
about 13,000, and in Ohio about 20,000. In
Pennsylvania Curtin's majority is about 33,
000. This makes the election of Abraham
Lincoln morally certain. There is nothing in
the range of probability that can defeat him
But it is equally gratifying to the Kupubli
cans of Clearfield county to know that al
their candidates except those fur County Com
missioner and Auditor, have been triumphant
ly elected. Gen. Pattou has a majority of
of about 1000 in the District. Our candidates
for the Lcgislature,Gordon and Lawrence, are
both elected by majorities in the district es
timated at between 200 and 400. -
Tho next State Legislature will bo over
whelmingly Republican. The Senate will
atand about 2o Republicans to 8 Democrats,
and tho House of Representatives about 70
Republicans to about 30 Denioarats. This
renders it certain that a Republican will be
.elected to the United States Senate the com
ing winter in place of Win. Bigler.
We never knew a time in the history of the
politics of this county when the Locofoco
leaders resorted to meaner expedients to dc
teive the people and to defeat our candidates.
Abuse and falsehood were used by them near
ly everywhere. Their venom was particularly
aispiayeci against Gen. Patton. Just on the
eve of the election individuals were found in
the different election districts to circulate lit
tle petty slanders and falsehoods against him
personally. This thing was dono extensively,
and by persons, too, of whom we expected
better things. But it is past. Gen. Patton is
.elected in spite of their petty malice. We
believe that o:i reflection many who were en
gaged in this dirty work will feel ashamed of
the part they acted, and, we trust, will endea
vor to maintain a higher degree of self respect
in future.
One thing is certain, the mass of the voters
oven of the Democratic party are in favor of
the doctrines and measures of tho Republi
can party. Tho Republicans are opposed to
the extension of slavery, and are in favor of a
rotective Tariff and of the Homestead Bill ;
and they are opposed to the extravagance and
corruption of the present National Adminis
tration, the squandering of the public money
tor political purposes, and plunging the coun
try in debt to the amount of many millions
every year. The Democratic party cannot
told their voters but by deception and false
hood, and by pretending to be in favor of the
measures which are really the measures of the
Republican party, And this is just what the
Democratic speakers did to the extent of their
ability in this canvass. Sometimes they would
Ptend that tbo Democratic party vas op
to tho extf-nsion of slavery. Some-
times that the Democratic party was favorable
to a protective tariff, and that the protection
of American Industry could Ikj as safely en
trusted to their hands as to those of the Rc
publicans. Sometimes they would try to con
vince their hearers that the Homestead Bill
was a humbug; but generally they devoted
their efforts to abusing and misrepresenting
the Republican party, nnd not unfrequently
calling its adherents all manner of hard names.
Now they would assert that the Kepublican
party wanted to set all the negroes free in the
Slave States, and let them come over into
Pennsylvania. Then the sentiments of some
individual would be falsely represented as the
doctrines of the Republican party. It would,
however, be an almost endless task to enume
rate all the means resorted to in the late polit
ical canvass by Democratic speakers, big and
little, to misrepresent the real political issues
before the people.
They have failed in their purpose and
will still more signally continue to fail.
No party ever stood more firmly and se
cure on its principles and measures than the
Kepublican. As their measures and princi
ples have become known and understood, the
party has gained strength till now almost every
State in which men enjoy the liberty of free
speech and a free press, has become over
whelmingly Republican. And so it will bo.
The more the Issues of the day are understood
the stronger will be the Republican Tarty. Its
mission is onward, and its next work is to
make Abraham Lincoln President.
THE VOTE IN CLEARFIELD COUNTY.
By examining the election returns of Clear
field County of Oct. 18-39 and Oct. 18G0, we
find some facts worth noting. The number of
.persons who voted in the county in 18o9 was
2C80, of which number about 100 did not vote
upon the State Ticket. The number who vo
ted this year (18G0) is about 3800. This
makes an increase of about 1120 in the number
of persons who attended at the polls and vo
ted. The number of votes cast for the State
ticket in 18-59 was 2-377 ; in 18G0 it is 8795
which is an increase of 1218 votes.
The vote on the State Ticket is,perhaps, the
proper test of party strength, because there,
in neaily every instance, the vote is cast from
party preferences. In 1859, the Democratic
majority in this county, for Wright, Auditor
General, was 319, and lor Rowe, Surveyor
General, was 333. We can call the average
majority of the two 32-3. This year the ma
jority on the State ticket, for Foster, is 283,
which is a loss of 40 in majority to tho Demo
crats, and a gain of that much to the Republi
cans. The average Republican vote on the State
ticket was, in 1859. I12G
Add, increase in 18G0, C29
Total this year, 175-3
The Democratic vote on the State ticket was
In 1859 1451
Add, increase in 18G0, 589
Total this year 2040
In the three townships of Beccaria, Guelich
and Woodward, Curtin has a majority of 17C
which is about C8 more than we had in the
same territory last year. Tho Republicans
there deserve great praise. Guelich is cur
banner township, having given 120 votes for
Curtin and only 12 for Foster.
Burnside and Chest did well; the Repub
lican majority being increased in them G9
votes over what it was last year. They have
the men to do it.
In the townships where the Republicans have
been greatly in the minority, the returns show
that they have manfully come up to the per
formance of their duty. In Bell the Republi
can vote on the State ticket has been increased
from 33 to 50 ; in Bradford from 32 to G2 ; in
Brady from 33 to 72; in Graham from 12 to
27 ; in Morris from 24 to 62. We know from
these returns that the Republicans in those
districts wero not asleep. Let them not bo
discouraged. They have tho power of truth
and right on their side, and victory is sure to
crown their persevering efforts.
Many thanks are also duo to our lriends in
Bloom, Boggs, Covington, Ferguson, Girard,
Jordan, Karthaus, Knox, Curwensvillc, Pike,
Lawrence, Clearfield, New Washington, Lum
bcr City, Ponn and Union. Some of them did
exceedingly well last year and have contribu
ted by their zealous services greatly to our
present success. In nearly all of them our
vote has been largely increased in the face of
a bitterly hostile and active majority against
us. We say to them work on ; the Republi
can party is right and is bound to prevail.
Fox is a bold and independent little town
ship located in the woods. She lias not a
great many votes bnt knows how to make them
count by putting the most of them in tho
right place. She gives Curtin 18 majority.
Well done, Fox.
Decatur last year gave 10 majority against
tbo Republicans, but this year came in with 30
majority in their favor. All hail to Republican
Decatur ; gloriously has she sustained Curtin,
and still more gallantly will she como to the
support of "Old Abe."
Bnt Huston did so well we were really sur
prised. Last year she gave a majority of 49
against us bat now she conies in with a majori
ty of 43 in our favor. This wa,s a change pf
92 in onr favor from last year.
The Locompton Democracy stood these re
turns as long as they could. The returns lrom
Burnside aud Guelich made them look very
sober. Chest astonished them ; Decatur made
them fairly sick ; but the news from Huston
seemed to them perfectly stunning so much
so, in fact, that many of them at once retired
and for a considerable timo were not visible
in any public place.
It will be seen that although our opponents
have had a working majority in this county
and have this year used every means both foul
and fair to increase their majority, still they
have utterly failed. Our gain on the State
ticket has been 40 votes more than theirs,and
our candidate for Congress, Gen. Patton, has
actually carried the county by 64 majority.
All thanks to the gallant Republicans of
Clearfield oounty. Work on, and as you have
done your full share in the election of Andrew
G. Curtin, as Governor and of Gen. Patton to
Congrers, you will share still more in the lion
or of placing Abraham Lincoln in the Presi
dential chair.
Noteworthy. "The Democracy of Clear
field have achieved another splendid victory ;
the County Ticket is triumphantly elected,
was the remark of our neighbor, in his issue
of Wednesday after the election. By refer
ring to the official returns it will be seen that
the Democracy did elect a County Commis
sioner and County Auditor.
"As Awful Mistake." Some of our Dem
ocratic' friends made "an awful mistake" in
the figures, when they calculated on 500 ma
jority lor Kerr, in this county; notwithstand
ing that offer to bet "S500 on Warren," by
way of "whistling to keep up their courage."
By Divine permission the Rev. Samuel Miles
will preach in the Baptist Church, in Clear
field, on Saturday evening, Oct. 20th, and on
Sunday 21st, at 11 o'clock. A. M.
