All the men being ranged against the
walls, Col. Wilson with drawn sabre Il

addressed his men amidst deafening
cheers.
After short adjuration to the flag
for which he declared his devotion, ht

The Present.

BY ANNE PROCIOH.
Do not crouch to-day, and worship
The old Past, whose life is fed.
Hush your voice to tender reverence;
Crowned he lies, but cold and dead /;
For the present reigns our monarch,
With an added weight of hours;
Honor her, for she is mighty
Honor her, for she is ours
See the shadows of his heroes
Girt around her cloudy throne
And each day the ranks are strengthened
By great hearts to him unknown
Noble things the great Past promised,
Holy dreams both strange and new
But the Present shall fulfill them,
What he promised, she shall do.
She inherits all his treasures,
She is heir to all his fame,
And the light that lightens round her
Is the lustre of his name;
She is wise with all his wisdom,
Living on his grave she stands,
On her brow she bears his laurels,
And his harvest in her hands.
Coward can she reign and conquer
III we thus her glory dim
Let us fight for her as nobly
AS our fathers fought for him.
God, who crowns the dying ages,
Bids her rule and us obey
Bids us cast our lives before her,
With our loving hearts to-day

Extract from the Last Speech of
Stenhen A. DOUGLAS.

The conspiracy to break up the Union is a
fact now known to all. Armies are being raised,
and war levied to accomplish it. There can be
but tvo sides to the controversy. Every man
must be on the side of the United States or
againstit. there can be no neutrals in this war
There can be none but patriots and traitors"
Homes. Democrats of Centre, we ask you
in all candor, to compare the above extract
with the reasonable peace articles which
have filed the columns of the Democratic
Watchmon for the last three or four mouths,
and then ask yourselves the question: Who
was right? Stephen A. Douglas, when he
uttered the above language almost with his
dying breath, or these prorrietors of the Dem
ocratic Watchman, to wit: s. I. Shugert, j.
I. Hoover, DR.. Strohecker,. ,.J ohm Hoffer and
Cyrus Alexander-the last named gentleman
having claimed. last fall, to be par excellence
the disciple of Douglas. Mr.. Prcudfoot, we
think, should also be one of the propri-
etors of this paper. Can the CLIQUE not man.

comments are unnecessary. Hon. S. A. Dou-
glas hit the nail on the head when be said

they vote.

Col. Blair an Abolitionist.

We have word to say to the honest mass
es of Centre county. The Watchman last
week charges US with being an A6olitionist
We have not room nor space TO answer their
scuIrilous attack. We do not wish to stoop
to personalities. With mans political
character, and that only, have we to do. In
answer to their charge We say that the only
Abolitionist now living in this county, of
whom we know anything, is Col. Blair the
traitor Breckinridge candidate for the Sen.
a'e. lie was q member of the first and on
lY abolitionist society ever organized in this
county. His name stands recorded as Sec
Tetary of the organization. We dare and de-
fl Col. Blair to contradict it. Honest Dem
ocrats Of Centre, can you trust him? If be
were an abolitionist once, what is he now
We hope you will answer at the ballot-box.
