pie rules the ration, free discussion is
necessary and proper !or public instruc-
uon. From the Declaration Of lndepen,
dence to the present day there has not
been one great principle of policy estab-
lisbe ed without free, open and manly dis
cussion, and it is not probable that there
eyer will be, SO long as the people contin.
4 ito be free citizens under constitu-
thSlal form OF Government. Congress is
prohibited 10y the Constitution from
passing any law abridging the freedom oi
speech or of the press. Men at this time
Of excitement should avoid personal Grim
ination and recrimnation."
That is the way" says the Cincinnati
Eap,irer, "an upright and intelligent
Judge will talk to Grand Jury on this
subject, ana rebuke those who ere so ig-
rorant or regardless of the Constitutional
right of the people, as TO make such pre-.
sentiment as was done IL New York,
which might do in Austria or France, but
cannot be toler ted in free government.
We have no doubt the New York Grand
Jury, which recently presented several
New York Journals for aiding treason,
were selected with special reference to
this action, and that care was taken that
they should all be of political stripe, and,
in addition, should be men OF small cali
bre, of violent prejudices and unscrupu>
lous character The performance is Of no
importance save to show the ani0us of
those who got it up, and now sustain or
apologize for it. 1t was hoped by them
that il yould lead TO a sensation against
the papers struck at; but they arc likely
to find that it will have precisely the op-
site effect, and they have loaded their gun
so heavily that i: will rather injure those
who stand behind it. There is scarcely a
Republican paper in the land than did
not, during the Mexican War, occupy pre-
cisely the same position that the New
York journals alluded to do now. A large
majority of the Republican leaders, incluS
ding President Lincoln himself, were op-
posed TO that war, and went farther ag-
ainst it than anybody has in the present
instance. Shall they also be indicted and
subject to condign punishment for a
past offence ?"

preservation of this glorious government
formed 10y the noblest band OF patriots
that the world has ever produced, unless
they boldly step forward and assume
| those possibilities, they are not the
men for their places, and are dishonc rinn
and betraying the sacred trust confded
to them by the American people, and
would deserve to be exccrated 10y all Dat,
riotic men,
Resoloed, That having tic most un-
bounded confidence in our fellow Demo,
crat David C. Dale, who has for months
past been in the ranks of his country's
defenders, we recommend his name to
the favorable consideration of the Union
Convention to be held at Ridgway on the
4th inst, as being the man for the times
and place, to represent US in our State
Legislature and if nominated, we pledge
ourselves TO give him our undivided sup
port at the coming October election.
ReSolced, That Samuel Arnold, Henry
Kern and VIM j. IIemphill be, and they
are hereby constituted delegates to said
Convention on The 5th inst. at Ridgway,
and they are hereby instructed to use evs
cry honorable exertion to secure the
nomination of David C. Dale.
ReSolced, That we dsapprove of tho
course pursued by tie "Clearfeld Repub-
lican" in not publishing such speeches as
those Of Hon, Joseph Holt of Kentucky,
Hon. Andrew Johnson Of Tennessee, Hon
Daniel $. Dickinson of New York, and
other Union Democrats, and in not Civ
ing hearty and cordial support to the
government irrespective os party.
RcS0lcea, That in the position we now
assume, we do not wish to be understood
as endorsing any of the peculiar theories
or tenets of tho Republican party,-but
that we are with and for the government
in every effort it makes to utterly crush
out this outrageous rebellion, and that
whenever this shall have been accomplish.
ed, we will return TO party fealty and
fight them upon political issues.
Res9lccd, That the President of this
meeting be authorized to appoint q Coun-
ty Standing Committee, to consist of thir-
teeh members to be selected from the
Douglas wing of the Democratic party.
RcSolrei, That the proceedings OF this
meeting be published in both of our
county papers, and in the other papers of
this Rep. district.
On motion, ReSoloed, That this meeting
now adjourn to meet at Clearfeld on
Wednesday evening OF the coming court,
and that Daniel Daugherty, of Philadel>
phia, be invited to address us at that time
and place.

depend upon the unity and vigor of the
democratic party in this crisis. That q
Democratic victory in this State would he
hardly less auspicious to the cause of the
Union than the triumph of the Federal
arms on the field of battle. That, there.
fore, we hold those Democrats who from
motives OF ambition or facliousness, are
seeking to divide aud distract the party,
as not only treacherous to its principle IS,
but disloyal to the country.

The Rival Powers.

Good and evil have been struggling 70,
the mastery of the world fromthe Creation
TO the present time. Scarcely had man de
parted from the hand of his Maker thar
the spirit of evil invaded his Eden. anC
drew down upon him his primeyal curse
When the human race was first gathered
into societies, corruption so spread a.

that he had made man on the earth :;
and "the fountains of the great deep were
: broken up, and the windows of Heaven
were opened" for the destruction. OF
an impious and wicked generation. We
are living under a new covenant, and the
Judgements OF God are not made so visible
to our senses as they were in the first ages
OF the earth; but sin does not escape pun
lshment, nor crime retribution, even in
this life, We can find in sacred and
proiane history an eternal warning of hu-
man passions, interest and capidity agns t

CIylLlrY.-Civilily is fortune itself, for
a courteous man generally succeeds well
in life, and that even when persons of
ability sometimes fail. The famous Duke
Of Marlborough is case in point. Ii was
sald OF him 10y one contemporary that his
agreeable manners often converted an en-.
cmy into friend; and ty another. that
it was more pleasure to lie denied favor
10y his gracc than to receive favor by
most men.
The gracious manner of Charles James
Fox preserved him from personal dislike,
even at time when he was politically
the most unpopular man in the whole
Kingdom.
The history of every country is full Of
such examples of success obtained by civ
ility. The experience Of every man fur
nishes, five may recall the past, frequent
instances where conciiatory manners
have made the fortunes OF physicians, law.
yers, divines, politicians, and, ed, in.
divduals of all pursuits. In being intro,
duced to strangers his affablity or the
reverse creates instantaneously prepos-
session in behalf of or awakens uncon.
sciously a prejudice against him.
To man civility is in fact what beauty
is to a woman-it is a generous passport
TO favor a letter Of recommendation wrts
ten in language that every stranger un.
derstands.
The best of men have often injured
themselves by irritability and consequent
rudeness, as the greatest of scoundrels
have frequently succeeded by their plous.
ible manners. Oftwo women equal in all
other respects, the courteous one has
twice the chance for fortune by means
of il.

that night before last, about IL o'clock,
US he was coming down Quincy street, he
was set upon by tive men, whom lie never

who without amy introductory remarks,
deliberately knocked him down, took frOm
his pocket seventy-fve cents-all he had
and walked OF to drinking saloon and
spent the money for whisky, right before
his eyes. The man followed the robbers
at safe distance and saw them "histing

regarded it as his treat and very kindly
drank his health, which has not been very
good for some time, he concluded to say
nothing about it. ~
