A Rumored Political BARGAIN,

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin says
that an arrangement was consummated a
night or two ago, by which the Bell. Everett
party in that city is to be sold out TO the De-
mocracy. The leaders of the Bellites, Doug.
lasites and Breckinridgers held meeting
and perfected the terms of the sale, They are
as follows: The Bell and Everette city tick
ct is to be supported, both branches Of the
Democracy dropping their candidates to
that end. Mr.. Brodhead, the Democratic
candidate for congress in the Second Dis
trict is to be slaughtered and Henry NJ.
Fuller. the Bell and Everett candida ate for
the same position, is to be supported by the
fusionists. In return for all this the Bell
and Everetters are to support Gen. Foster
for Governor, and also the regular Democrat
ic nominees for Congress in the First. Third,
Fourth and Fifth Districts. The Presiden-
tial question is to be left open until after the
second Tuesday in October.
This is very nice arrangement; but we
hardly think it will amonnt to much. What
ever leade, may do, voters will not permit
themselves to bs sold like cattle, it they
have any manhood left.

not vote at all. The evenings are getting
long and lonesome, make il suit, if possible,
to spend portion of them with those who

try; reason with them, and then on the

MEETING ar PLEASANT GAP.

The largest and most enthusi-
astic township meeting ever held
in Centre County, was held by
American Republicans, at Pleas
ant Gap, on last Saturday Even
ing. A delegation Of more than
sixty wagons left this place in the
evening, for the meeting. When
we arrived there we found that a
very large crowd was already on
the ground, and everything ready
to open the meeting, which was
done by electing Hon. Andrew
Gregg, President. The meeting
was then addressed by Hon. Jas.
T. Hale, R. G, Durham, Esq, and
W. W. Brown. The speeches
We're received by the people with
the most enthusiastic applause
After the meeting closed the peo-
pie retired to their homes, re-as-
sured that at the coming cleo
ton victory would perch upon
the glorious banner of American
Republicanism.

Fusion Yes, fusion, and "no good Dou-

reiterate the heightened and dignifed Editors
of the Democratic Watchman, and fearing
that honest supporters of Douglas would not
have discernment sufficient to detect the in
eonsntency and wickedness of fusion, they
published the following, which | take from
their issue of the 28th of August
''Mr. Douglas is traversing the country,
especially in the North and East, dosing out
the panacea of "squatter sovereignty" as a
remedy for all our ills appealing to the 'shigh-
er law" and endeavoring, with the magic of
his words and his presence, to eajole the peo-
pie to his support. In this he will misera-
bly, fail. In the exalted position of Presi-
dent of these United States, the people will
exact something more than the qualities of
travelling noun tebank. Mr.. Douglas in his
recent letter, has ayerred that his object was
to take the question of slavery out of the halls
of Congress and yet during his whole Ad-
ministration he has kept up the slavery agi-
tatlon with persistency and ferceness
amounting almost to insanity. It has cause
ed him to neglect every other duty in Con-
gress except the defence of his consistency
and the advocacy of bis views 10 regard to
slavery. He has been remarkable for his IA
cihty in dodging votes, and when he did
vote for his votes with the Repub cans.-
With that party not only did he vote on the
Lecompton question, but on most Incidental
fol L e.,
mer yotes.'
The friends of the "Little Giant" should
thank the Editors Of the Watchman for ma
king it known that he voted against the Le-
compton Swindle. About 5000 democratic
voters of this Congressional District, express
sed their disapprobation of Allison Whites
vote on that question, in way that he felt
and understood. And I presume they are
ready to lie. Gen. Fleming know that strad-
ling the crack" won't save him. They will
expect an open and candid avowal of his sens
timents. If Lycoming is to furnish us with
all the Congressional Candidates for Con-
gress and the Senate, we have right to de-
mand that they be men of principle, honor
able men, because we have hypoerites enough
of our own, without having any saddled up
on US from abroad. We expect her to sup,
ply US every ten years with Census taker,
for that we will not require more than ths
ordinary abilities of good accountant. =
But for Congress and the Senate, we do n-
sist on you to give US your best men-men
who have principles for the public eye. If
Gen. Fleming adheres to the doctrine Of the
Kansas and Nebraska biIl as he and all
other democrats understood it in 1856, and
is opposed to fusion with boilers and seceders
from the regular Organization, let US know
it, speak out General and then we can sup

Where is Foster z

This question still remains without sat
isfactory solution. When the General was
finally compelled to announce his willing
ness to uleet Col. Curtin on TIE stump, we.
in common with others, thought that his po-
sition would speedily be dsfued We were
mistaken.
On the 9Th ult., Mr.. Foster made speech
10 Somerset, in which he took the ground
" that Congress had no right to legislate for
the Territories on the suffice Of Slavery" !"
etc. This speech was reported to .Forney's
Press, and was very satisfactory to the Dou-
glas men. A few days after. Mr Foster be-
ing in Philadelphia. found himself at log>
gerheads with the adm illustration men there;
upor which be denisd tbe correctness Of his
Son erset speech as reported to the Press
The Rennsylvaaian came cut with the follow
ing:
Gen. Foster has arrived in this city, and
we fad, upon inquiry, thas, just as we ex
pected, the statements of the letter are utter
Iy destitute of truth. no sgo remarks having
been made by him. either there or elsewhere
The Press, in reply, proved the correctness
Off report and after administering little
advice to Mr.. Foster, requests him to define
his position, and concludes it's article with
the following:
9" The earnest friends of Judge Douglas,
however they may deplore Gen. Foster
weakness in constantly consulting with the
enemies of that iliustrious statesman, gladly
greeted his Somerset speech in favor of tie
great principle of self Government aud they
stood, and stand, ready to vote for him on
that az oval But there must be no marked
cards, no loaded dice, in this great game
Gen. Foster cannot run on two platforms -
He cannot max speech in Somerset and
disavow it in Philadelphia. lie cannot get
the tens of thousands Of votes of the Douglas
Denoc@.ts by catering for the contemplate
Breck kinridge minority. His silence might
have carried him through; but when he will
talk it must not be with forged tongue
Does he stand by his Somerset speech or
does he repudiate it? This is the question.
He must answer it or the people will do it
for him in October"
What contrast exists between the course
of Mr. Foster add the manly course of A. G.
Curtin We do not wonder that the people
are everywhere deciding to go for the Peo-
pies candidate. Mr.. Fosters case is already
decided. d.-Jersey Shore Tedette.

Not Our Fair.

| We would like to impress upon the minds Of
all that we not the "boss" Of our Fairs,
and that we have no more to do with them
than any other citizen. Last year we Were
! written to even for premiums, and blamed be
cause some small things were not particularly
noticed in our paper.
Yesterday morning a young man, whose
name we do not know called, and, in rather q
hufy and abrupt manner, took us to task
for not noticing, as one Of the judges in Glass
-, Branch VII, Melodeon which he had on
exhibition. When going around We particu-
larly asked if there were any pianos on exhibi-
ton, and were told there were none; and as
to Melodeons, they were not mentioned in
the Premium List, and could not have had a
premium if thousand had been ezhibi-
ted. A premium of SIS was offered for the
best and largest variety of Musical instru-
ments," but as the one Melodeon aforsald could
not be said to constitute variety" of course
it could not take that premium. We saw the
thing dozen times but never dreamed that it
was sent there to exhibit, but OF the contrary
we supposed that some benevolent person had
just put it there for everybody to fiddle on that
wanted to, for the amusement Of the crowd.
We particularly asked and was told that
there were no pianos or collection of musical
instruments on exhibition, by persons who we
thought ought to know, and hence we 6lanked
those lines. This explanation we hope will
be satisfactory to the mereurial owner of the
Melodeon, who, we trust, will be satisfied with
this notice of his instrument.
II the object of our Fair is to pay out pre-
miums for Yankeemade durdy-gurdies we
shall have noting more to do with it. But the
same good sense which has characterized the
course of the Executive Committe heretofore
we doubt not will govern their actions in the
future.
