MEEcuANT.-We are happy to inform our fell
low-citizens that there is one place in our city
where the physician, apothecary, and country
merchant, can go and purchase pure Wines
and Liquors, as pure AS imported, and OF the
best quality. We do not intend to give an
elaborate description Of this merchants eX-
tcnsive business, although it will repay any
stranger or citizen to visit Udolpho Wolfe's
extensive warehouse, Nos. IS, % and %,
Beaver street, ana Nos. Il, 10 and 81, Mark
etfeld street. His stock Of Schnapps or hand
ready for shipment could not have been less
than thirty thousand cases the Brandy, some
ten thousand cascs-Yintages ofl836 to 1856
and ten thousand cases of Madeira, Sherry
and Port Wine, Scotch and Irish Whisky,
Jamaica and St. Croix Rum, some very old
and equal to any in this country. He also
had three large cellars, filed with Brandy,
Wine, &c, in casks, under Custom-House key,
ready for bottling. Mr.. Wolfe's sales OF
Schnapps last year amounted to one hundred
and eighty thousand dozen, and we hope in
less than two years he may be equally sue
ccssful with his Brandies and Wines.
His business merits the patronage of every
lover Of his species. Private families who
wish pure Wines and Liquors for medical use
should send their orders direct to Mr.. Wolfe,
until every Apothecary in the land make up
their minds to discard The poisonous stufffrom
their shelves, and replace it with Wolfe's pure
Wines and Liquors.

FUSION MEETING At PHEASANT

We have been informed, upon.
reliable authority, that at the,
meeting of the Fusionists on LAST.
Saturday night at the above nam
ed place, Gen. Fleming spoke of
Judge Hale in the most disrespect-
full and personal manner. Also,
that Col. Blair, after a very abu,

light trash against the American
Republican party, called upon all
present to vote for Old Bob
Fleming" at the same time ask
ing the people why they would
vote for a niger Congressman,
when they had a chance to vo.5
for a white man. D
Why Col. Blair should speak thus,
of James T. Hale, we cannot tell,'
unless in the gratitude of his.
heart, he desired to pay him the,
rent for the use of his office, two
Or three years, and several other
expensive favors. Shame on Col.
Blair, we say, or any other man
who will use such language when.
speaking of man SO respectable
and so well known as. is Judge
Hale.
A "nigger Congressman" for
sooth +! Do you not know Col:
Blair, that at least fifteen of the
Congressman from the south, by
virtue of the three fifth rule, rep
resent a niger constituency p
These are the " niger Congress

Readers ofthe Centre Democrat,
we have invitations from other
parts Of the State, to keep us
speaking every evening from now
until the Election, but we have
declined them all except one
meeting at the Clearfeld Court,
on the 26th inst. We must go
to Clearfeld, We can go to no

all so to the polls.
We are opposed to betting, or
any other species OF gambling, but
a friend of ours authorizes us to.
say, that he has .f0e hundred dol
lars to bet that our whole county
ticket will be elected, or that Col.
A. G. Curtin will be elected Gov
ernor of the State.
Opposed to betting as we are,
we will say here, we viii double
the bet. The money to be. put
up, and the bet made so soon as
the polls are closed, and before
the result is known. For further

The Tariff Party.

The leading question in the campaign, and
the one which most interests the working
men, is the Tariff. The leaders of both par
ties claim to be tariff men, but are they
both sincere, in their professionss We
think not, and we base our assertion on the
history Of the past, which furnishes evidence
clear, and abundant, that the democratic
party, is not now, nor never was in favor Of
protection te our home industry. In 1874
Jas. K. Polk, and Geo. M. Dallas, were cleo
ted by the popular cry, that Polk was a bet.
ter tariff man. than Clay. Thousands be-
leved the delusion, and permitted themselves
to he cheated out of their votes. How far
Polk, was better tariff man than Clay, the
administration attest. He repealed the tarr
if of 42 and used the whole influence of his
patronage to inaugurate free trade policy.
Dallas, when the vote stood tie in the Senate,
gave the casting vote against the tariff, and
thus struck death blow at the interests of
his own State. When be was about to cast
his vote, Senator Cameron hung up in front of
the Vice Presidents chair, large poster,
upon which, was blazoned, polk, Dallas and
the Tariff, but with these popular maxims,
by which he had secured his election, staring
him full in the face, he voted square against
projection to his country, and in direct oppo-
sition to the wishes Of the people, and worst
Of all, in direct opposition to the pledges he
had made the people previous TO bis election.
We have heard democratic leaders say, their
party was ALWAYS in favor of tariff. If that
is true, why did they not long ago enact "a
tariff law. They make it their boast that
they have bad possession of the government,
with but slight interruptie ms, for the last 20
years, then when they had the power why
did they not protect our home industry? Did
they ever pass single tariff law? No not
one. On the contrary, they have repeal
ed no less than three. After I'll this, will
any one trust these democrats? VIII any one
believe them when they say they are 10 favor
of protection2 We, for one, cannot. but we
fear many will again listen to the syren
song and fondly believe it true. Last win
ter, who defeated the Morrill, tariff Bill?-
The Democrats in the Senate. Voters, work
ing men, who are are in favor of tariff. be
not deceived again. You will never get
protection to labor by ell ecting a democratic
President and Democratic House of Con-
gress. Ifyou really desire tariff elect Lin
coin and give us Republican Congress, and
we will rive YOU tariff

Passing Strange,

That the Democratic party in this county
cannot nominate ticket, without placing
upon it, men who were Know Nothings IN
1854 and '55, willing to desert the Deaocra-
cy when they thought the party was hope
lessly ruined, but of whom, the doubre-head-
ed Watchman now speaks "as unexoeptiona-
BILE men," and says "the whole ticket could
not have been more satisfactory to the peo-
ple." 1t says further, "They are all good
men, faithful and jealous advocates of the
Democratic party" Why de you, Col. Seer
ly, after proving yourself 30 incop slstent, as
to associate with yourself. Mr.. Barnhart, who
was Know Nothing in 1854, and after pla-
cling, at least one, and we think, two men, on
your ticket who belonged to the same orga-
nization, still continue to abuse that PATBl-
OTTO ORDER? After abusing the Know
Nothings, as you have done. how can you,
how can your PARTY, consistently, vote for a
man upon your own ticket, who belonged to
them Oh consistency. truly, thou art a
jewel! a

how many TRAITORS" from the Know Moth
ing party. you have upon your ticket, or for

await your answer. We must have it. The

your answer. Come right up to the work
No backing out. No lodging
The way things look now, we venture the
assertion, if Col. Rishel, Hugh Lourinore,
James Furey, Mr.. Weaver, of Haines town
ship, Mr.. Kreps, RI D. Cummings and others,
whom you SO numerically slaughtered in
your County CONVENTION, had ever belonged
to the Know Nothing Order, some che of
them would have been nominated. Indeed,
the history of the Democratic party in this
county shows, that man, to receive nom-
ination from hisparty for any of the impor.
tant Offices, must be man who has cut his
ticket at some time in bis history, or man
who has been a IWhig all his life, until very
recently, or a Know Nothing. Is it not pas,
