ONLY PATRIers-oR TRA1roRs!''-In the
last speech delivered by Stephen A. Douglas
occurs this paragraphs
But this is no time for detail of causes.
The conspiracy is now known. Armies have
been raised, war is levied to accomplish it.
There is only two sides to the question. Ev-
cry man must be for the United States or a
gainst it. There can be neutrals in this ,car I;
ONLY PATRIOTS, OR TRAITORS.
This is the whole story and there is no mis-
taking ssPatriots'' or ssTraitors." Neutrality
is treason; and he is at heart traitor who says
or does anything to embarrass the Government
or discourage the people. Those whose gener-
al leanings render it necessary for them to spe-
cially affirm their patriotism, are not true men
A real, hearty, honest patriot will be known
as such by every one. He neither says nor
does equivocal things; and hence is never
doubted or questioned. Those who are doubt
ed should be. There is something in what
they say or do which compels suspicion.
The lamented Douglas uttered a great truth
when he said: ssThere can be no neutrals in
this war /; only Patriots OF Traitors

FLAG PRESENTATION.-On TueSday the 9tn
instant, Gov. Curtin presented to the Penn
sylvania Reserve Corps, the flags which were
prepared by direction of the last Legislature.
The "Society of the Cincinnati had made a
donation of $500, in aid Of the war; which it
was thought best to use in the purchase Of
flags for the Pennsylvania troops, and the
money was accordingly appropriated to that
purpose. The flags were presented by Gov.
Curtin to the Colonels Of the several regi-
msnts, who received their ,colors with proper
Acknowledgements; after which the Governor
addressed the troops His speech was full of
genuine patriotism and true eloquence. Gen.
Mccall responded to the Governors speech i'm
behalf of the soldiers assuring his Excellen-
cy that they would sbear these Stars and
Stripes proudly in the conflict, and with the
aid of the God of Battles would place the
banner of our State amongst the foremost in
the cause of the Constitution and the Union
of our common country"
Late in the afternoon, tho President, Secre-
tary Cameron, Gov. Curtin, and other distin-
guished personsges drove across the Chain
Bridge, where Gen. Mcclellan gave them a
Lutte from his new battery; after which they
proceeded to the new and immense fort6ca-
tions just completed. Here the President
rose in his carriage and asked if there were
any Pennsy lvanians PRESENT. eyes, yes"
was the response. He then said ss1 beg to
Introduce to you your Chief Magistrate Gov.
Curtin" The Governor rose in his carriage,
and made respectful bow. Mrs. Curtin was
next introduced, and acknowledged the COM
pliment. "And here" said the President,
pointing to Secretary Cameron, ssyou have
your old fiend aad there, facing Gen. Nc
Clellan) sou have the greatest man of them
ail.'' The introductions were received with
enthusiastic cheers. Gen. Mcclellan wish
ing to become acquainted with his men, graf
ified their desire to shake hands with him !;
each man had something cheering to say to
the General. One man said, "General, we
are anxious to wipe out Bull Run, hope you
will allow US to do it7" every soon, if the
enemy does not rum" was the prompt re-
sponse. At last Captain Baker, of the Chi
cago cavalry corps, composing the escort, ap-
pealed to the troops not to crowd the General
too baId, or shake his hand too much, as be-
fore he slept he had long way to travel, and
much writing to do with the hand they were
shaking. He promised if they would fall back
that the General would say few words to
them. They instantly complied, when the
General, removing his hat, spoke as follows
SOLDIERS :-Wo have had our last retreat
We have seen our last defeat. You stand by
me and will stand by you, and henceforth
victory will crown our efforts.
After which the distinguished party retired
being well pleased with their visit to the u
Mon Notifications hey ond the Potomac.

WHAT THEY SAY THEMsELvEs.-I regret to
be compelled, writes Richmond correspon-
dent of the Memphis Appeal, to give you a
most unfavorable account of the health of our
troops now in the field. The inaction of the
several bodies of men in different portions of
the commonwealth, for three weeks past, must
be attributed chiefly to the crowded state of
the hospitals. In the peninsula the typhoid
fever has been prevalent, though happily not
in a malignant form. At Manassas and Aqua
Creek, also, this malady has prostrated con-
siderable number. In Richmond, or rather in
the camps around it, fifty per cent. of the
troops have been stricken down with the
measles. Private hospitals for the reception
and better treatment of the invalids have been
opened from day to-day, until every street,
almost every square of the city, has its long
sick list, and the ladies are worn out in their
attentions to the sufferers. They do not
weary in the spirit of their good work !; but
excessive watching will exhaust their physical
powers. As yet there has been no great fatal
ity among the thousands of cases, but just as
soon as dozen have been discharged as we'll
from hospital, their beds have been filed
and there IS no dlminution in the number Of
new cases.

TO THE DEMocRATs OF cLEARFIELD

We, the undersigned Democrats, Believing
that the only way to gain an Honoreefe peace,
ard to preserve the Union, is ito utterly crush
this wick ed rebellion by the military and NOR
al powers of the government--that it is the
duty of all good citizens, without respect to
party, in this hour of peril, to rally to the sup
port of the government against the assaults OF
traitors, whether armed, or in our midst giving
aid and comfort, and that any halfway policy
or pretended scheme of compromise with the
rebels at this time is only calculated to en-
courage rebellion, divide the Union, and dis
grace US as nation Aud believing further,
that the patriotic course of such Democrats as
Hon. Joseph Holt of Kentucky, Hon. Andrew
johnson of Tennessee, Gen. Butler of Massa-
chusetts, Gen. Dix and Daniel S. Dickinson
of New York, and the late Stephen A. Douglas
of Illinois, in giving their powerful aid to the
present Administration in suppressing treason
and rebellion, merits the approval and imita-
ton of all true Democrats. We, therefore,
utterly repudiate and spit upon great portion
of the platform laid down by the late RepreSen-
tatiye Convention held in the Borough of St.
Mary's, ELK county, by few lcould be leaders
Of our party--who in their Zeal to destroy the
Republican party would risk the destruction
of this glorious government, and call upon the
Democrats OF Clearfeld county who would not
have fastened upon them and their party the
odium of disloyalty and treason, and who
agree in sentiment with US, to unite in taking
measures to have persons to represent us in
our Legislative assemblies who are in favor of
maintaining their government and the Union
(no matter what party or person Tor the time
being administers that governmenD at all
hazards and at every sacrifice, and whe are
opposed to treating with armed rebels and

As gsUAL.-The last number of the Breck-

variety of bald assertions aDd epithets; no
doubt thinking, that by such stuff they can
cover up their Misrepresentation, and make
their readers believe that it is argument. 1t
won't do, however. The lye was little too
strong-it has eaten the surface off, and the
cheat is left "bare-naked" to the gaze. You
had better overhaul that pondrous sir shooter

"When any person--be he friend or foe

The first paragraph was published in refer
ence to the s'Monster Meeting" g"resoiutions,and
latter endorsing the ssSt. Mary's.'
The question naturally arises, which of the
TIVE are the true sentiments Of the leaders of
the breckenridge Democracy Their organ
SAYS s.we doubt not by which expression they
certainly give an unqualified assent to the ST.
Mary's resolutions-sstheir general sentiment

little too large for the honest Democrats, so
they had TO turn round and administer coun-
ter irritant-or rather soothing syrup-in the
shape of Legislative ssprowiso,' to wit, $50
much as conflicts with the above, we disavow." /"
But still, the endorsement by their organ re-
mains on record. If they did not intend to
practice two handed game, why did they
not ''disavow' the organ too7 1t would, at
least, have shown some little consistency to
have done so. As the matter stands by lit
