Not Beaten Not PF.rrATrn btt
Overpowered by numbers, the pallan
Petuocracy of the Key stone State. sub
mittingto the verdict of the people,
battle as stronply to day for the prinei
pies, for which they have ever fou-.-ht.
The immutable principles for whioh they
9o nobly struggle, io the end must tri.
uuiph. The bud arises none the less
brilliant, none the loss surely because
no gleam of litjht has broken the dark,
ness of the night. We arc beaten not
because we were not deserving of suc
cess, not because w advosated perni
cious principles, but simply because of
the miserable apathy widespread among
tho people of the State. It is by no
means, however, a Cimmerian darkness
in which we are enveloped. No indeed;
but rather iu the golden light of the
dawn, proceeding the more brilliant day
No longer, do we hear of majorities of
hundreds or fifties of thousands. No
Jongcr does the tornado of fanaticism
roar through the forests and over the
mountains of old Pennsylvania; bntthe
triumph of the Hangman and Martinet
is secured by a miserable majority more
miserably eked out by miserable tric!c.
cry and the free use of very seandalous.
ly miserable money. The fact is the
progress of tho Republican paty has
been a rotrogradc movement. Let them
have such another victory and it would
be better for theni bad they been de
feated. There is nothing to discoungo u.
I.ct us only profit by the stern lessons
which our sai experience has taught us;
wl idly sit ao call upon some Hercu
les 1 1 assist us, but let us work ourselves.
On our succe.-s depends the future.
So long as the people consent that the
infamous, law defying, woman hanging
party shall misrule us, so long will the
vultur prey upon the vitals of the
nation, and vampires suck the blood of
its mighty heart. "Let facts be sub
mitted to a candid world." Over 80
years of unexampled prosperity. Our
flag hailed as the forerunner of all that
men held dear, carrying with it every
where stripes for the despot, and the
blessed stars of hope for the oppressed.
Bursting with appalling glare upon the
dreams of the Tyrant, its starry folds
shed soft light and blessed hope upon
the couch of the oppressed. But now
the name of "American" is a byword
and shame among those who bow before
the throne of the tyrant. Our flag in.
suited, our rights violated. Our 'gov
ernment" "snubbed" and American soil
made the groundwork of foreign tyrany.
It needs bat the determined effort to be
free, roll back the waves of despotism
and save the good ship from destruc
tion ceaso resolving act and the
watchman on the tower may yet cry
"all is well."
Duty of Democrats.
The following article we copy from
thrt Democratic Watchman of Bellefonte
and recommend the suggestions therein
contained to the serious consideration of
our Democratic friends of Elk county .-
"After the lesson of the late cam
paign, it is well to inquire into the duty
of those who are identified with the
Democratic party, and, when that duty
is ascertained, to seek to fulfill it to the
letter. Our duty to our country is seo
ond only to our duty to God, aud hold
ing the opinions thut the Democracy do,
we doubt whether we can fulfill our ob
ligations to God and neglect those we
owe to our country. We believe that
the principles of our party arc right, aud
that upou no other can the government
be properly administered. We believe
'hat the principles advocated by the
i-arty at present in power are subversive
not uily of our system of government
' "it of all civil liberty, and that, even
now, under thuir evil influence our Re.
vublie is rapidly losing every attribute
v hich diHtinguii.hcd.it from the monar.
hies of the old world. We believe
i hat tho people are sufficiently intelli
; cut to understand the vital principles
. 1 the government and to comprehend
the tendency of any measure which they
i ny brf asked to support, if the ueces.
:ry means of affording them the proper
nf irmation in furnished, nd thaf.. they
. .i virtuous tnough to cbonee the good
rather than the bad, at whatever present
fRcrifice of personal interests. We bo.
lieve that tho differences between the
Democratic party and the opposition are
so great, ana the balance so evitably in
favor of tho former, that it is doc only
necessary to state them fully and fairly
to '.he people to have them reject the
one on I adopt the othnr. In (short, we
believe that an administration of the
government by the Abolition party for
any considerable length of time means
nothing more than the death of our re.
public, and that tho Democratic party is
the only one now existing whose princi
ples arc in accordance with the Consti
tution and the theories upon which the
government rests.
Holding these opinions, our duty is
plain, and it becomes us to follow it
We should use every means in our pow
er for a thorough dissemination of our
principles, in order that every voter may
have an opportunity of knowing and
judging the merits of'oui principles and
policy. Believing that the people are
intelligent enough to judge between the
two parties, the contrast should be fairly
and fully drawn, and kept constantly be
fore them. As a means to this end, the
Democracy should most thoroughly or.
guoize in every township, and know
every voter, his views and feel'ngs.
Every effort should be matte to increase
and extend the circulation of Democrat,
ic newspapers and particularly the
county papers. Documents wherein are
discussed the issues between the parties
should he obtained and placed in the
hands of every man who does not un
derstand public questions, because the
intelligence of the people is the only se.
curity of free government.
The first step, and what is most need,
ed at preseut, i3 the thorough organiza
tion of the Democrats of each township
in the county, so that all may work to
gether and each have his; proper place
of duty assignen. It is an old saying
and a true one that "Everybody's busi
ness is nobody's busii.es.'," and this was
never more fully illustrated than in the
recent campaign. Now, there ore
enough men ia each township of the
county who are able to start such an or
ganization and get it in perfeot working
order. The country demands this of
them, and they cannot refuse the call
without imperiling her institutions. We
can obtain a complete victory in this
State at the election. It rests with the
members of the Democratic party to de
cide whether we shall have it or not.
The sketch we have given of our duties
will serve as a basis to commence work,
and we will endeavor in future numbers
to more fully discuss these important
questions.
Clarion Democrat.
Col. Davis's Defeat. Col. Davis
takes his defeat with Philosophical
composure. He is too good a soldier to
repine at the fortune of war, and too
true a Democrat to rebel against the
will of the majority. In the last iss-ie
of his paper, he announces the result in
the following quiet manner :
"We were defeated last Tuesday for
Auditor General of the State, and by
the verdict of the people our competitor
Gen. Ilaitranft, of Montgomery county,
has been chosen to administer the duties
of that office for three years. Had the
Democratic party turned out as they
should have done, the resuii would have
been different. But we have no fault
to find with any one. We bow with
great cheerfulness to the verdict of the
people, and personally, we have neither
heartburning, nor regret to disturb us
in our retirement as a private citizen.
We did not seek tho nomination, nor
did we set our heart upon success. We
were willing to carry the banner of our
party into the contest, and defeat is a
fate that has met good and true men
everywhere since the world began.
There is nothing to repine r.t. In the
future as in the past, we will be found
fighting in the raoks of the party en.
deavoringto give supremacy to those
great and conservative principles that
will yet save the country. We return
our thanks to the party for the confi.
denco reposed in us and to oar political
friends for the support they gavo us at
the polls."
Support the Democratic Press.
O'.tr last Democratic State Convention
adopted a resolution of thanks to the
Democratic press of Pennsylvania for
their unswerving zeal ami devotion to
Democratic principles. They earnestly
recommended the press to the support
of Democratio voters. The resolution
was but just and proper. We have
some ninety Democratio papors in
Pennsylvania, which are carried on en
tirely upon their private moans, at a
great annual loss. We have no pat
ronage except that which the people
choose to give us. It behooves every
Democrat then to assist and strengthen
us. The way to do it is to subscribo
for a paper and throw all the advertising
patronage Jdu can to its support. Dem.
ocrats of IlarrUburg, we appeal to you
to respond liberally, and do what you
can for the Deinocwtyj press of Penn
sylvania. It has proved itself worthy
of'all you ca'n do for it. Putrht d

Terrible Suffering Among tbe
Negroes.
The Tribune reports 19,000 blacks in
the District of Columbia, and great per.
sonal distress. Here is a picture of the
sufferings of this people:
"The most frightful mortality exists,
as many ns eighty coffins per week being
f urnished by the quartermaster's depart
ment, most of them are for children. It
is the opinion of physicians practising
among them, and of other close observers
that threo fourths of these children die
from neglect and want. In tho family
of a soldier who lost his life in battle,
five out often children have died since
March. 1805, from the above causes. In
another, three out of seven children of a
soldier drafted in December last, have
starved to ifcath in the hut three weeks.
The mothers in both cases wero prostra.
ted with sickness. In the same square
mothers and son's wives and children of
soldiers still in gnvcrnncnt service ns
regulai United States troops, are suffer
ing for the necessaries of life; 'knowing
nothing more of these men,' they say,
than that 'when the war broke up they
didn't come home Near these lives an
other soldier's wife, having four skeleton
child ren, who, as she says, were starved
out in Frederick, Maryland. They have
neither bed, table nor chairs, nor any
household utensils save a frying pan, out
of which they eat with their fingeis.
These cases might be multiplied to
scores and hundreds in aud around tho
national capital."
The se are terrible sufferings indeed,
and show what is becoming of the color
ed people, especially the helpless and de
pendent, under tho policy of the miscall
cd philanthrophy whioh is expending
millions upon an abstract question of j
negro sunrage while thousands arc uy
ing of starvation.
Singular Boiler explosion
Three Men Killed.
Raiiwao, N. J.. Oct. 21. In the
small settlement known as Blazing Star,
about five miles from this place, the
boiler of John A. Steinhauser's estah.
lishiuent for preparing phosphate of
lime exploded, about five o'clock Tues
duy afternoon, with such terrible effect
that the building, a frame, one hundred
feet square, was entirely wrecked, and
the tubular boiler, 14 by 1G feet, hurl
ed to a distanoe of four hundred yards
from the place and one hundred feet
high, when it struck the earth, throwing
up the dirt to a great height, and then
rebounded eighty .five feet further. A
number of men were in the building,
and three of them who stood near the
boiler were killed, two of them instantly,
but the third lived until the following
morning.
The names of the killed were A. F.
Beyse, Superintendent, a resident of the
vicinity ; J. Master, boiler-maker, of
New York, and J. Broush. fireman, of
Williamsburg. Beyse's clothes wero
torn completely fron his body, and
Broush's skull was crusod to atoms, ren
dering it probably' that neither of tho
two unfortunate meu was conscious of
tho least suffering. Master did not be
lieve he was seriously hurt, and the fol
lowing morning was walking about,
when he complained of a difficulty of
breathing. His respiration grew shor.
ter and shorter for two or threo hours,
when he expired.
The accident is ascribed to tho defec
tive stea'u-guagc, whiih was purchased
in New York. Mr.Beys0h4d.no idea
of the quantity of steam in the boiler
(and he was on experienced engineer,
having been iu one of our gunboats, and
on the Otsego at the time of her de
struction by a torpedo,) and therefore
anticipated no danger, supposing the
guage would indicate the pressure upon
the boiler. All of the killed were men
of family. Mr. Stcinhauser bus gener
ously offered to provide, we understand,
for the widow and children of the Su.
pcrintendent.
A strange circumstance connected 1
with the casualty, is that Beyse seemed 1
to have a premonition of his fate. When
he was in New York last Monday, with
Stcinhauser, he siid he felt a strong dis
position to have his life insured, and, I
returning home, asked his wife where 1
she would have him buried in the event
of his being killed, saying he felt as it
something were about to happen him.
The boiler had one hundred and sixty,
three tubes, whioh were thrown one
hundred feet apart ; and this fuot, with
the tremendous force of tho explosion,
indicates that there must have been at
least ono hundred and fifty pounds of
steam to the square inch.
Another Kail road "Accident."
Collision of two Trains on the New York
aud New Haven Railroad.
New York, Oct. 23. The New
Haven Journal of to-day says that last
night a construction train on tho New
York and New Haven Railroad came iu
collision with a milk train on the Dun
bury and Nor walk road. Two passen.
ger cars of tho latter train were smashed
and both engines demolished.
A hatter, from Bethel, named Hurl
burt, was killed.
Mr. Parsons, conductor of the mil k
train, was badly injured.
Engineer Lyman, of the New York
and New Haven road, who was on the
milk train, was also injured. Mr. Willi

Haven, and others, nera Somewhat in.

leave it to all its barrels, oil, eagerness

eating with the broad of a knife blade
and sleeping upon bay-pillows. It is a ;
magnificent lottery where ot flowing '
wells and grand prizes, and "dry holes"
blank as the face of astonishment. nd
yet it presents a scene of vigorous Yan
kee life, possible nowhere on earth but
in America, and nowhere in America
but just here. Warren Ledger.

"Attmtion Sovereign .'Allow mo,
through this medium, to introduce my
self to your acquaintance as a candidate
for Assessor of Taxes of Hinds county.
If any one should be so inquisitive as to
ask why a man ot my gigantio intellect
should fly so low, my answer is this :
The Feds, in May, 1861, deprived me
of my left wing ; therefore vaulting am
bition must stoop iu flight to a level
with my capability. Again, should any
one wish to know why I do not have
printed bills, I would civilly reply that
my pocket book would laugh for a week
at tbe rustle of a greeuback, and would
never survive the faintest clink of me

"I would like very much to call on
the dear people, and talk to them face

A Rich Marriage Ceremony.
The following description of a mar
riage in Illinois by a newly appointed
Justice of the Peace, who is somewhat
of a was, is taken verbatim from a
letter written to a friend : Having been
appointed to a desirable "posish" of Jus
ti :e of tho peace, I was accosted on tho
5th of July, by a sleek looking young
man, and iu silvery tones, requested to
proceed to a neighboring hotel, as he
wished to enter into the holy bonds of
matrimony. Here was a "squelcher."
I had never done anything of the kind ;
had no books or forms; yet I was deter
mined to do things up strong, and in a
legal manner, so I proceeded to tho ho
tel, bearing in my arms one of the Re
vised Statutes, one ditto Webster' Una
bridged Dictionary, one copy large size
Bible, a small copy of the Creed aud
Articles of Faith of the Congregational
Church, one copy of Pope's Essay on
Man, and a Bestion.il part of the map
where the vi3tim lived. Having pla
ced the table io the middle of the room,
and seated myself behind it, I, in truin.
pet tones, called the case. With that
the young man and woman, with great
alacity, stepped up before me.
Having sworn them on the diction
ary to answer well aud truly all the ques
tions I was about to ask, I proceeded.
I told the young man that, being an en.
tire stranger, I should have to ask him
t i give bail for the costs. Having heard
this so frequently in court, I thought it
indispensible. He auswered if I meant
the fee for performing tho ceremony, he
would deposit it then and and there.
As I did not know exactly what I did
mean. I magnanimously waived that
portion of the oereinony. I then told
him it would be uecessary to give bail
to keep the peace. This he said he was
willing to do when he arrived home,
and I then waived that point also.
Having established to my satisfaction
that they wanted to get married, and
that they were old enough to enter into
that blessed state, I proceeded to t'e the
knot. I asked him if he was willing to
take that woman to be his wife. He
said he was. I told him that I did not
require haste in the answer, that he
might reflept for a few minutes if he
wished. I told him she looked like a
fine girl, and I had no doubt she was,
but if the sequel proved that he had
beon taken in. I did not want to be held
responsible. I said ho mm' Irre lived
or, and ' oappy" aroUQ j
house nw spit tobacco juice on the floor,
all of which he promised faithfully to
heed. - -
"Now," said I, "Gootgianna (her
name was Georgianna,) you bear, what
Humphrey says. Do you accept the
invitation to beoome bis wife ? Will
you be lenient toward his faults and
cherish his virtues ? Will you ever be
guilty of throwing furniture at his head
for slight offences, and will you get three
meals a day without grumbling V She
said she would. I then asked them if
they believed in the commandments,
and they said they did. Having read
the creed and articles of faith, as afore
said, I exclaimed : "Humphry, take
her ; she is yours ; I cannot withhold my
consent. Georgianna, when safe in the
armB of your Humphrey you can defy .
the scoffs and jeers of the world."
I then read a little from the "Essay
on Man," including that passage, 'Man
wants but little here below, but wants
that little long.' As a finale to the
scene, I delivered the following, exordi
um : "Go in peace and sin no more."
The generous Huphrcy having placed
a fifty-cent in my unwilling palm, I
bade the happy pair a final adieu.
Hold on Boys! Hold on to your
tongue when you are just ready to swear,
lie, or speak harshly, or to say an irapro.
per word.
Hold on to your hand when you are
about to strike, pinch, scratch, steal, or
do any improper act.
Hold on to your feet when you are on
the noint of kickinsr. or runnincr awav

Hold to your temper when you are
angry, excited, or imposed upon, or oth.

Hold on to your heart when evil assoj
