GOVERNMENT AND ADMINISTBATION.
The Government and Administration of this
country are so intimately connected, that nei
ther can exist without the other. Destroy the
Government and you have no need of an Ad
ministration. Destroy the Administration and
von have no Government left, bach man
w
would bo left to acton his own impulses;
therefore, instead of a protecting Government,
you would have a rabble a mob running riot
over the land, pilfering and destroying prop
erty, and committing murder and all manner
of crimes to satisfy their own selfish lusts. In
view of these tacts, it is absolutely necessary
to maintain the Administration to have a Gov
ernment.
We have been led to these reflections by a
remark in the bst Clearfield Republican, "That
they we cannot discriminate between the
Government and the Administration." Well,
perhaps, we cannot. We will not, however,
now stop to argue the point. It would be a
waste of time. Our country is in peril. Trai
tors and usurpers are trying to destroy it.
They have their sympathisers and abettors in
the loyal States. Who are they 1 They are
easily known. On all fitting occasions yon
hear them proclaiming themselves the espe
cial friends of the Union. They say we nev
er "favored that doctrine" we never "sym
pathised with secession" we tever "uttered
a single word, line or sentence" in its favor
neither have we "any desire to aid them in
thought, word or deed" and like the self-
righteous Pharisees, seem to thank their Ma
ker "that they are not like other men."
Will the editors of the Breckinridge organ
in this place make the proper application 7 or
are they "so sappy-heidei that they cannot
discriminate" between those who are loyal to
their country and those who are disloyal ? If
they can not, "it is their fault not ours
The people however, know the distinction"
and we leave them to draw their own con
elusions.
Two sides to a Question. Some of the
managers of the white-washing machine, on
Monday evening last, became very indignant,
and exhibited much ill-will towards what they
termed "Black Republicans." They tried
hard to show that the Republicans were op
posed to the freedom of the press and free
speech ; and talked loud and long about there
not being one secessionist in the country
that the Democrats would all sustain the Gov
ernment that they were all peaceable and
law abiding citizens.
Why did not these wiseacres tell who raised
the "muss" at the "Ilarvest Home" in Brad
ford township ? Who disturbed the Camp
Meeting in Boggs township, and threatened to
tear down the preachers stand and their own
tents, and leave, because of the Union senti
nients of one of the preachers Who were
they, that at a "log-rolling" on the ridges,
shouted for "Jeff. Davis and the South" all
day, and when a Union man cheered for Lin
coln, appointed a committee to wait on him ?
Who are they, that say they intend to raise a
Secession flag at Bloomington? Who are
they, that raluso to support a preacher because
he is a Union man ? Who are they, that have
sent word to a minister of the Gospel, telling
hira that he must not preach on certain sub
jects 1 Who are they, that are circulating
over the county, that if "Jeff. Davis succeeds
in capturing Washington City and conquering
the North, that ho will pay all the War expen
ses of both North and South"? Who are they,
that on Monday evening last, at the close of
the "Democratic" meeting, on their way
home cheered "loud and long" for "Jeff. Da
vis and the Southern Confederacy"? We will
answer. They are all Democrats ! And, if
we aie correctly informed, some of those fel
lows were the loudest to cry "free speech and
free press," on Monday evening last.
Convicted. Franklin M. Read, a clerk in
the Philadelphia Postoffice, who was arrested
on the 9tb inst., by Special Agent Row, had
his trial on Tuesday the 27th ult. The Jnry,
after being oat but a few minutes, rendered a
verdict of guilty. Read has served as a clerk
in the Philadelphia Postoffice for about 24
years, with the exception of a short interval
during Mr. Westcott'stime. It f s thought that
he has for several years been tampering with
the mails. The penalty, of the offence of
which be has been convicted, is not less than
10 years nor more than 21 years imprisonment.
He has not yet been sentenced.
Query 1 Was fresh butter very scarce in
Clearfield on Friday and Saturday last ; or,
why did so large a. number of Breckinridge
politician go to the country with market bas
kets in their baggies ?
THE DAY-BOOK DEMOCRACY IN MASS j
CONTENTION.
On last Monday evening, Sept. 3d, a'Demo-
cratic mass meeting was held at Clearfield It
was under the patronage of that small band of
Breckinridge politicians, located at Clearfield,
who control the Clearfield Republican, and aim
to control the whole party. To be sure, some
Douglas Democrats seem to figure prominent
ly ; but this is all a sham. It is the policy of
the clique to put forward some Douglas men
to save appearances.
But why was the meeting called ? . We
will explain. Under the leaa oi ine tiear-
field clique, and the teachings of the Day
Book and the Republican, the minds of many
Democrats had become poisoned, and expres
sions of bitter hostility against our govejnment
and sympathy for the rebels, were becoming
.... . . V a 3
common. Candidates lor the legislature nau
been nominated, and at the Democratic Con
vention which nominated them at St. Marys,
Dr. Boyer introduced resolutions which em
bodied just the seutiments that had been a-
vowed and taught in Clearfield county for
mouths past. The resolutions passed. This
was too much for many of the loyal and pa
triotic Democrats to stand any longer. Ac
cordingly, a number of them issued a call for
a meeting at CurwensviUe, of such members
of the party as were in favor of making every
effort to aid the Government to put down the
rebels, and to take steps to nominate candi
dates for the Legislature, who stood upon such
a platform. This call appeared on the 28tb,
appointing a meeting at CurwensviUe on Tues
day evening, the 3d of September. This call
(which we publish to-day) threw the Clearfield
clique, and their camp-followers, into a great
buzz much like a hornets' nest when you poke
a stick &to it. And well it might, for it was
high treason against the clique it was at
tempting todo things withoutconsulting them
However, no time was to be lost, and so on
August 29th another call is posted up for a
meeting at Clearfield on Monday, September
2d. This was a sharp stroke of policy on the
part of the clique. For, doubtless, they tho't
they would get the refractory Democrats to
Clearfield, where they were ready to talk to
them, and drill them, and then let them go
home to be good and obedient boys.
The call being issued, the next thing is to
get them all to Clearfield. The young scions
of Democracy and some of the older ones un
dertook this job. And on the 30th and 31st,
they were seen going out of town in all direc
tions with horses and buggies, some with mar
ket baskets, as if after butter. It is said that
a couple who were a little more experienced
and foxy than the rest, were seen on their way
up the river with fishing rods and wandered
away to CurwensviUe. But it is said the bait
was not good, and the fish would not bite
The news of the meeting was in one way or an
other soon carried over the county, and all
Democrats were invited to attend.
The time of meeting came, and considering
the effort made, it was a dull affair. Of course,
the men and boys of Clearfield Borough and
its vicinity of all parties, were generally out.
But the number in attendance from a distance
was small. Lawrence township and Clearfield
Borough, when aroused, can of themselves
furnish a larger meeting than was collected
that night.
One object seems to have been to fix up the
St. Mary's Resolutions, so that a Union Dem
ocrat could swallow them without know
ing it. The way the whole thing was done
shows nice political ingenuity. A string of
resolutions were passed of such a general na
ture that as many different interpretations and
meanings can be put upon them, as there are
shades of political opinion among those who
claim to belong to the Democratic party.
Then follows another, the substance of which
is that so much of the St. Mary's resolutions
as is inconsistent with the foregoiug resolu
tions is hereby repealed.
The truth is, that the holding of this meeting
was a political trick to head off the Union
Democrat s,and the resolutions another trick to
gull them. The speeches were like the resolu
tions,very general in their bearing. The speak
ers all avowed themselves to be true to theUnion
and in favor of sustaining the government in
all lawful means to suppress rebellion, and
maintain the Constitution and the laws, or
words to that effect. But, for any thing that
was said to the contrary, some of them might
suppose that to march into a rebel state with
a military force was an unlawful means which
they could not approve ; they might for aught
we know, pronounce this course to be an il
legal war of subjugation upon the South.
We see nothing in what was said and done at
this meeting that is inconsistent with the past
course of that set of politicians who controlled
its proceedings.
First among the speakers, came Ex-Gov.
Bigler. He professed great love for the U
nion, and his willingness to sustain the gov
ernment ; but did not acknowledge the right
of the President to suspend the habeas corpus,
nor to abridge the liberty of the press, nor to
increase the regular army, nor to interfere
with the private affairs of the citizens, (this
we presume, meant the old telegraphic des
patches seized by the government). His speech
was short, and the feeblest effort we ever heard
him make. To use an expression of the edi
tors of the Republican, he seemed like the boy
that "couldn'nt get the hang of the new
school house."
Then came Wallace, Test, Earley, Boyer,
Crans, Johnson, M'CuIlough,and James Bloom,
Sr, one ef the candidates for Associate Judge.
He said that he had signed the call for the
Democratic meeting at Cnrwcnsville, but that
he had been in some way deceived or be would
not have done it ; and that they need not ex
pect him at that meeting. ,
At last the meeting ended, and the people
went borne but little wiser than when they
came. Yet the idea was again impressed on
the minds of the faithful, that great is De
mocracy and Bigler is its prophet.

Of the Democratic Legislative -Convention,
held in St. Marys, Elk county, on the 15th of
August, 1861, as published, corrected and en-

From the Elk County Advocate,

On motion, the nomination was made unani

Dr. Earlv. bein called on, addressed the
meeting in a spirited and patriotic manner
He was followed by Mai. Nicholson; both
speakers pledged themselves to use their best
efforts to bring about an honorable peace.
On motion of Dr. Boyer, a committee of one
from each county was appointed by the rresi
dent to draft resolutions : Dr. T. J. Boyer,
Seth A. Backus, John Conrad and Julius Jones
were appointed said committee.
On motion, it was resolved that the next
representative convention be held at the bor
ough of St. Marys, on the third Thursday of
August 1862.
The committee on resolutions, through their
chairman, Dr. Boyer. reported the following,
which were unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That it is the imperative duty of
every lover of the country of Washington, of
every age, sex and condition, to stand decided
ly for peace, to stay the fanaticism of the hour,
which must crush the hopes and extinguish
the brightest sun in the constellation, of gov
ernments : to council moderation, arbitration,
compromise showing by unequivocal acts
that the interests of the South shall be equally
safe In all their extensions in the future while
we have the supremacy of power, as ours were
in the past when they had the ascendancy, and
in the parting words of the Father of his coun
try, "Frown indignantly upon the nrstuawning
of every attempt to alieuate one portion of
the country from the other, or to dissolve the
political bonds which unite us as'one people,1'
knowing no North, no South, no East, no
West, but uniting in one common brotherhood,
in the spirit of compromise, the entire com
bined interests of men.
Resolved. That the courage and patriotism
manifested by our brave and loyal citizens in
responding to the call for 75,000 men to de
fend the Capitol is worthy ot our most pro
found approbation and reflects lasting credit
to those brave spirits. But that we most sol
emnly, and in the name of humanity, justice
and Christianity, protest against the late acts
of the administration which have for their ob
ject the subjugation of the South, and the be
trayal of our brave soldiers into acts of law
lessness and opposition to the principles and
feelings which actuated them in their march
tor the defence of the national capitot.
Resolved, That with all good citizens we
deeply deplore the recent slaughter ot Ameri
cans in Virginia. We pity the Northern widow
and the Northern orphan ; we pity the South
ern widow and the Southern orphan ; and we
swear again, that we will stand together, and
strive by the use of all honorable means to
bring about peace, and restore to their friends
our young men now sickening from the effects
of a Southern summer.
Resolved, That the threats of Abolitionists
pass us like the idle winds, which we regard
not. We are freemen American citizens, and
we will protect ourselves, and each other, in
the exercise of the rights of American citizens
to the last extremity, and with our lives, if
need be.
Resolved, That, in the language of Senator
Douglas, in his late speech in the Senate, we
"don't understand how a man can claim to be
a friend of the Union, and yet be in favor of
war npon ten millions of people in the Union.
It cannot be covered up much longer under
the pretext of love for the Union. .
"War is Discnion, Certain, Inevitable, Fi
nal and Irreparable."
Resolved, That we are in favor of a speedy
settlement of the present difficulty by compro
mise. Resolved, That when one section of our
country shall have been subjugated by the
other, we have already become the slaves ot a
military despotism.
Resolved, That we are ready to defend free
dom of speech and of the press, against those
who have tried hard to suppress these consti
tutional rights.
Resolved, That wherein the Chief Magistrate
of the nation has failed to administer the gov
ernment agreeable to the Constitution of the
United States he is deserving the rebuke of
every good citizen.
Resolved, That the small patriot band of
Senators and representatives in the late extra
session of Congress, who dared to maintain
the integrity of the Constitution, under the
menaces of expulsion and imprisonment, are
entitled to the gratitude of every American
citizen ; and impartial history will award them
an enviable distinction.
Resolved, That the persistent determination
of the majority of the members of the late
extra session of Congress to frown down every
measure that had for its object the peaceful
adjustment of our national difficulties, indi
cates a fanatical mania that would have much
better became the crusaders of centuries gone
by, than the representatives of a free, intelli
gent and christian people of the nineteenth
century. . -
Resolved, That the candidates nominated
this evening, Dr. C. R. Early and Maj. R. J.
Nicholson, are worthy of the support of every
democrat, and that we pledge them our deter
mined support at the October election.
On motion, Resolved, That these proceedings
be published in the Democratic papers of the
district.
The Convention then adjourned. -
George Weis, President.
J. B. Oviatt, 1
Lever Flegal, Secretaries,
The endorsement of the sentiments of the
above resolutions, by the editors of the Clear
field Republican at the time of their publication, j
reads as follows :
"The proceedings of the Representative Con
vention held at St. Marys on the 15th inst., will
be found on our first page. The wording of
some of the resolutions are not exactly to our
liking ; but this may not be entirely the fault
of the Committee. As published in the LIk
Advocate, several palpable errors occured
which we have corrected and they bore every
appearance of having been sent to the printer
in a badly arranged and disjointed condition,
such as often happens in the confusion of a
late adjournment; and for this reason tbey
may not appear in precisely the shape in which
they were adopted. Their general sentiment,
ire doubt not, is such as will meet the approbation
of a large majority of the people of the district."
The- corrections of the Republican are three
or four verbal changes, so trifling, as to a
tuount to nothing.
To give an idea of how these resolutions
are regarded abroad, we copy the following
from the Philadelphia Press, of August 30th :
Treason in the Wild-cat District
Some kind friend has sent us a proof-sheet
of a paper called the Elk Advocate, published
in Ridgway, Pa., of which P. W. Barrett is
editor, aud L. Luther proprietor. This slip
contains an account of the proceedings ot a
body of men known as the Democratic Rep
resentative Convention, composed of delegates
from the couuties of Clearfield, Jefferson, Elk,
and McKean. This convention was assembled
for the purpose of nominating candidates for
the Legislature. After due deliberation, Dr.
C. R. Early and R. J. Nicholson were nomi
nated, after which, "being called upon," says
the report, "they addressed the meeting in a
spirited and patriotic manner, both persons
pledging themselves to use their lx?st efforts
to bring about an honorable peace." Among
those who were prominent in this Convention
was Dr. T. J. Botkr, of Clearfield, a creature
of Mr. Buchanan, and the friend and compan
ion of the late Senator Bigler. Boyer fig
ures in the report to such an alarming extent
that as newspaper men we cannot suppress a
suspicion that he himself wu the author ot it.
At any rate, we find Boyer addressed the Con
vention, Boyer nominated the candidates,
Boyer made five out of the six reported mo
tions, Boyer was chairman of the committee
on Resolutions, and Koyer wrote the twelve
resolutions which were adopted, asterisks,
italics, small caps, exclamation points, and all.
. These resolutions are most amusing speci
mens of political literature, or rather they
would be amusing under any other circumstan
ces than those which now exist. We hardly
thought that there was in Pennsylvania a com
pany of men degraded enough to print and
publish such unblushing treason as is here re
corded. There seem to be no degradation
too deep for these people. They have lost
every idea of Northern honor, and are anxious
to yield to the most extreme and indolent de
mands ot the Southern rebels. State pride
and national honor, and even the pride and
honor ot manhood, are nothing. Every con
sideration of patriotism is ignored, and words
seem to fail them in the publication of their
infamy.
This is strong language, but is it not justified?
Let us see what these resolutions teach. Here
are a few sentences :
"We most solemnly, and in the name of human
ity, justice, and Christianity protest against the
late acts of ; the administration, which have for
their object the subjugation of the South aiul the
betrayal of our brave soldiers into acts of lawless
ness, and opposition to the principle and feeling
which actuated them in their march fur the de
fence of the national capital.
l IV e deeply deplore the recent daughter of Amer
icans m Virginia. We pity the Northern widow
and the Northern orphan; we pity the Southern
widow and the Southern orphan. And we swear a
gain, that we will stand together, and strive by the
use of all honorable means to bring about peace,
and restore to their friends our young inen now
sieiemng from the effects of a Southern summer.
"The threat of Abolitionists pass us like the
idle winds which we regard not.
"We are in favor of a speedy sottleme nt of the
present difficulty by compromise.
" The small patriot baiid of Senators and Repre
sentatives, in the last extra session of Congress,
who dared to maintain the integrity of the Con
stitution, under the menaces of expulsion and im
prisonment, are entitled to the gratitude of every
American citizen, and impartial history will it
ward them an enviable distinction.
'The persistent determination of the majority of
the members of the late extra session of Congress
to trown down every measure that had for its ob
ject the peaceful adjustment of our national diffi
culties, indicate a fanatical mania that would
h ave much better become the crusader of centu
ries gone by than the representatives of a free, in
telligent, and Christain people of the nineteenth
century." .
Is this not monstrous ? Could language be
tortured into the expression of more decided
treason ? Dr. Boyer and hi clique seem to
have been writing for the atmosphere of South
Carolina, rather than that of Pennsylvania.
And yet, to show how utterly corrupt and de
praved the local Democratic orpaizations of
many parts of this State have become, these
sentiments bear the unanimous approval of a
Democratic Legislative Convention, and Mes
srs. Early and Nicholson ask the suffrages of
the peodie as tueir representatives. If we
take this record, we are to believethat the
Democracy of four counties of Pennsylvania
consider the enlistment of volunteers "the be
trayal of our brave soldiers into acts of law
lessness ;" the contest for the Constitution at
Manassas, "the recent slaughter of Americans
in Virginia ;" the voice of the people, "the
threats of Abolitionists;" the unanimity of
the last Congress a "fanatical mania;" and
such avowed and exultant traitors as Breckin
ridge Burnett, and Mat, "a. small patriot
band."
But we do not believe it. We know the
honest Democrats of Northern Pennsylvania
too well not to spurn any such base suspicion.
When treason was in their organization they
rebuked it. When the machinery of their party
was placed in operation to shield the infamies
of an Administration, and consum ate a great
wrong, they protested bravely and performed
nobly. When others faltered they were true,
and it cannot be that the men who were so
prompt to punish treason to a party should
not be as prompt in the punishment of treason
to the Republic.
Democrats of Pennsylvania, your honor de
mands that every such expression of sympa
thy with traitors be disavowed, and that every
representative of it be crushed. You are
fighting this fight nobly. Your brothers are
in the tent and field, and many of them have
given np their lives to maintain the Govern
ment, which the principles of your great par
ty in other days did so much to strengthen.
With blood they have sealed the testimony of
their devotion to the Republic. With blood
they have written the loyalty of true Democ
racy at Phillippi, Springfield, and Manassas.
They are combatting the intrigues of traitors
in Virginia and Missouri ; will you permit the
intrigues of traitors in Pennsylvania? We
write it now with confidence, and let ft be a
prophecy : that when Octsber comes, and the
issue fs determined at the ballot-box, the De
mocracy of the North will overwhelm with un
fathomable indignation the infamous conspir
ators who still plot in our midsts, and none
more effectually and finally than this pestifer
ous brood nestled by Dr. Boter and his pa
trons in Northern Pennsylvania.
