The Locofoco politicians are busy at work
circulating pamphlets, purporting to come
from the friends of Fillmore, but which are
really the vile production of the political Jug
glers who are controlling the Buchanan party.
for they are franked by Locofoco members of
Congress, in which the most violent assaults
are made on the Union State Ticket. The OBJ
ject is to create split on our State ticket, and
thereby enable the Democrats to elect theirs
The Democratic leaders are well aware that If
they are defeated at the October election. that
Buchanan will be overwhelming routed in No.
vembcr. and are, therefore, leaving no means
untried to carry this State. The movement
of Levin in Philadelphia, few weeks since,
was evidently part of the scheme, but the
Fillmore men denounced him and passed res
olutions pledging their undivided support to
the Union State Ticket. One thing is certain.
we think, that if those who are mere poIiti-
clans, will sell themselves, we are confident
that the masses-thc honest People-cannot
be sold. We canton all against such trick
cry, for doubtless the game will be attempted
in every county where there is prospect of
creating diversion in favor Of the Democratic
State ticket. 1t was boasted in this county. a
few days since, by leading Democrat, that
they had "a game up now that would beat MS,

OUR COUNTY TICKET.

In less than two weeks the election for State.
District and County officers takes place, and
we trust that due attention viii be given 20
county ticket. By reference to the
same, it will at once be seen that it is COM
posed of some of the best and most reliable
men in our county. The business capacity
and necessary qualification of the several in
dividuals who constitute it, are undoubted.
The candidates were selected with view to
qualification and capacity, from among the
people themselves, and will compare favorably
with any ticket that has ever been presented to
the citizens of Clcarfeld. We believe they
generally well known throughout the coun-
ty as competent and honest me n, and if elect
ed, will fill the respective stations for which
they are named with honor to themselves as
well as to the county. We would. therefore
nrge every voter to go to the polls and deposit
his ballot for the Union County ticket We
are firmly of opinion, that if the proper excr-
tions are used, we can defeat the Locofoco
ticket at the October election. Turn out.
then, freemen of Clearfield county, go to work
energetically, stick TO it, and you will come
out of the contest victorious.

JUDGEKELLEY,S SPEECH.

We occupy large portion of our paper this
week with Judge KelIey's speech, which we
wish every citizen of Clcarfeld county would
read, especially our Democratic friends. II
contains many facts that are valuable, and
shows the position of the Democratic party, at
different periods of time, on the great ques-
ton which now absorbs public attention.
Judge Kelley was heretofore member of the
Democratic party, bnt as the present party
holding that name has lost sight of the great
principles of liberty, he opposes il. We
trust every one will read the speech.

dressed the people on the all-absorbing issue
involved in the coming elections. We are
sorry that our limited space prevents US from
giving such extended notice of their speeches
as they deserve. The questions before the
people were fairly stated, the positions of the
various parties clearly shown, and the merits,
claims and qualification, of the candidates

After the meeting was fully organized, Lr-
Gov. RoBERTs, Of Kansas, was introduced.
He gave plain, clear and comprehensive his
tory of the Kansas question, and the difficult
ties, outrages and murders committed in
that territory. He wa, listened to with mark
ed attention, and when about TO finish, was
strongly urged to proceed. He, however, in a
short time gave way 10
B. G- NoBI.E, Esq, OF Wisconsin, who re-
viewed the position of parties, presented the
issnes in 4 succinct and forcible manner, and
urged the Importance of voting so as to insure
the welfare of the people. the perpciuation Of
our free institutions, the maintainance oftie
compromises OF the Constitution, and the per-
manency of the Union. He is one of the best
stump orators in the country, and his speech
was received with unboundcd admiration aaa
great applause.
AMOS MYERS, Esq, OF Clarion, was next iD-
troduced. In the course OF his remarks. he
exposed the duplicity, unmasked the hypocrl-
cy. and held mp the inconsistency of the pres
ent leaders of the Sham Democracy, in light
that was rresistibly conclusive. His speech
was humorous well as argumentatiye, and
erous cheering of the multitude
Alter Mr.. Myers had concluded, the meeting
adjourned till O'Clock. procession was
then formed, numbering several hundred, and
headed by band OF superior martial music,
marched through the streets. We never wit
messed more enthusiastic and Respectable
gathering anywhere.
At O'Clock, the meeting again convened.
when W. ". WISE, Esq, of Brookville, was
introduced. and delivered speech of master
ly argument and convincing power He re-
viewed the issues involved in the present con-
test, in manner that was as entertaining as
ii was instructive. His speech was received
with high admiration and frequent applause.
CTRUs JEFFRIEs was then called upon, and
delivered one OF his usual truthful. logical and
powerful speeches. Amos Myers, ESQ, was
again called out, and entertained the audience
with one of his happiest efforts, after which
the meeting adjourned with deafening cheers.
The number present at the meeting exceed
ell our expectations. and We have seldom wit.
messed as mnch good feeling. harmony and en-
thusiasm rs prevailed on this occasion. II
was einpiaticaily meeting of the People, and
augurs we'll for the success of our cause The
