Address to the People Of Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania has spoken in thunder tones
in behalf of the Union of industry, of free-
dom. Her people have met the combined
hosts of ofseetionalism ,disun;onism, free trade,
and all others who sought markets for their
suffrages; and majority of 80, 600 for Gov
ernor, twenty Congressman, ard more than
two>thirds Of each branch of the Lsgisl ature,
attest the fidelity of our State to the integri-
ty of our institutions, and the common pros
perity of our country.
Indiana, Chic and Minnesota have Joined
the Keystone State 10 demanding that secs
tional discord, wanton Lrofigacy, and the
desolation Of free trade, shall cease to be the
policy of National Government
The decisive battle has been f9ught-a ma
tion has been redeemed from disunioR and
dishonor by the verdict of Tuesday last
The issue was mede by our foes and accept
ed by our friends, and millions to-day greet
the triumph as the unerriDg harbinger of
our national disenthralment
Let the friends of the right not be content
with an ordinary victory-A Abraham Lincoln
can be called to the Presidency By clear
N majority of the people Of the United States,
if all who shall rejoice at bis coming will
but cast their sufrages for him. To that
majority Pennsylvania can and will contrib>
ute full fifty thousand. We have but to be
faithful TO our great cause. AMI it is done,-
Let every man be at his post on the great
day, aid the largest majority ever given by
Pennsylvania to a Chief Magistrate will be
cast on the 9th of November for Abraham
Lincoln, for Union, for Fraternity

After regimental muster, which was held
here to-day. a difficulty occurred, during
which three men, named Rufus and Jackson
Gown ston, brothers and Richard Coving-
ton, Ia son Of the latter were killed by two
brothers, named Silas and Ben Edwards :
Several others were badly cut and injured
On both sides. An old ieud existed between
the parties. but the Edwards, who have long
been the terror of this part of the State. were
the sggressors, and while they were trying
to make their escape they were oyertaken a
short distance from town by the constable
and his posse, and lodged in the Jail.
Peace and order had been restored on the
Isthmus of Panama and its vicinity. This
was brought about by the landing, at the
suggestion Of the authorities, of forces from
the American and British vessels of war
These forces remained in joint occupation. of
the Is!hmus at least accounts, but it was
probable that they would soon be with
drawn.
Large crowd nearly succeeded in taking
the prisoners from the constable. and hang
them upon The street. They afterwards sur
rounded the Jail for that purpose, but were
fnaly paci6ed. The people are much excl
ted, and it is feared that the prisoners will
yet be lynched. The affair was one of ths
atrociOns that ever occurred .here.

We have carried Cur ticket in this coun.S

dishearssned and dismayed our opponents, so
that it will be impossible to rally the Demo-
sratic vote In time for the November election.
Men will not go to the polls to be defeated,
and defeat in November is now foregone

wind blows, ard judging BY these critsrions,
IL is morally certsia that Lincoln will gel the

country, amounts to over one million, and
this alone secures his election beyond the

Halls, but then the word Democracy is the
balm that heals your wounded soul.
There is one thing for which that minister
may be thankful, and that is that Mason &
Dixons Line is not North Of Centre county
as the editors of the Watchman, who would,
of course, be obliged to initiate his Southern
masters, feel inclined to suppress the free-
dom of speech and the press. and chsstise the
impertinent scribbler by elevating him in
perpendicular way,or by giving him whole
some coat Of tar and Feathers. And now,
Messrs. editors, allow me to say that because
we said nothing, heretofore, about Democrat
ic fzzles, that there are none, but I do not
suppose that the interest of any party is
served by ridiculing persons who turn out to
political Meetings, though they may be but
Jew in procession, and about as few of their
party at the meeting; it is true that our lit
tie town was thrown into some confusion a
shcrt time ago by the arrival of an illustri-
Gus parsonage en- route for Gatesburg, but
still things are about as usual. The only
drawback that see in our ranks is that we
have no surplus funds on hand by which we
can offer to keep the poor If they vote our
ticket. But our poor SPUN, am told, such
offers, knowing if we succeed in electing our
ticket they can get plenty of work at remu-
nerative prices. Where, Messrs. editors,
does the money com frem? Let us know, for
hear various rumors about money and Of
fers made, and if l did bu. know about it

little, but may learn more by practice.
