A Democratic meeting was held in Ben

The meeting organized, about clock in
a grove close by the town, by the selection
of the following officers:

The meeting was addressed by Col. Jno
q. Freeze and others. If We may judge
from the demonstrations of applause made
during the speeches, we may well say
that the people of Benton and vicinity are
much enlivened in the cause of Democra-
cy They gave to US evidence that they
would render a good account on Tuesday,
the Sth inst. The speech Of Col. Freeze
was one that afforded them much satisfac,
ton; and gave them to think more firmly
that they were right in maintaining their
old organization. The letter read by the
speaker, from Charles Il. Buckalew, was
received with applause. This letter as.
Sured the Democracy that the course they
were pursuing was wise and patriotic.
On motion the meeting adjourned.

So Fort Lafayette, the place selected
by the Government for the safe keeping ol
It's political prisoners, has become quite an
important post. Heretofore it has been
but little known to the country. There
are now about twenty or thirty men con-
fined within its walls.
The fort is built in an insulated position
on a shoal or small island in the narrows,
aboat seven miles below New York and
about four hundred yards from the shore.
Fort Hamilton is also near it, on the sea
shore. The shape of the Fort is quadran.
gular, with the angles pointing to the sea
and bay and either shore, diamond wise.
Facing Fort Hamilton are two tiers of
heavy cannon, in bomb proof cascmates. -
On this side, which is less protected than
the others, appear to be the barracks for
the troops, and other necessary buildings,
the roofs of which are seen rising above
the walls Of the Fort. There are conse-
quently no barbettc guns here. This part
of the Fort, however, completely comman-
ded by Fort Hamilton opposite which is
the sally port in one of the angles.
On the other sides guns are mounted en-
5arJette, in addition to the heavy case
mate guns below, In fact, the entire struc.
ture, whatever may be said of its capacity
as defence against foreign invasion seems
to be more than sufficiently strong to keep
in security as many State prisoners as are
likely to be put in it. 1t would sorely
puzzle Jack Sheppard or Baron Trenck
themselves, were these worthless alive, and
confined iu Fort Lafayette, to make their
way out of that stronghold, surrounded as
they would be by granite walls, with the
sea washing their base on every side.

The Democratic Creed.

The following principles, laid down by
Mr.. JEFFERSON in his Inaugural Address
now more than sixty years ago, have al.
ways been, and are still, the doctrines held
by the Democratic party. We don't know
whether we shall be charged with treason
and threatened with chatter" and "gibbet
for publishing the creed, but shall run the
risk Of that anyhow. So here goes at a
venture:
Equal and exact justice to all men
ofwhatcver state or persuasion, religious
or political;
The support of the State governments
in all their rights as the surest bulwark:
against anti republican tendencies;
A mild and safe corrective of abuses
which are Topped by the sword of rcvolu
ton, where peaceful remedies are unprovi.
ded
A generous spirit of fconcession aud com.
promise, The vital principle of Republics
without which there must be an appeal to
force, the vital principle and immediate
parent of Despotism;
The supremacy of the civil over the
military authority;
Economy in the public expense, that la
Dor may be lightly burdened;
Freedom of religion, freedom of speech,
freedom of press, and freedom of the per-
son under the protection of the habeas cor.
pus, and trial by jurics impartiaIly selected.
If any have wandered from these princi.
Piles in moments of error or of alarm, let
them hasten whilst ihe-forms of our beloved
Republic yet remain, to retrace their steps
and to regain the road which alone leads
to Peace, Liberty and Safety.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. THE
message of Abraham Lincoln, wherein he
declares that it yet remains for the people
"to demonstrate to the world that those
who can fairly carry an election can also
suppress rebellion" is a deliberate, stud
led insult to the Democracy of the entire
North. Mr.. Lincoln ought to know that
the men who carried the election last fall,
and thereby inaugurated civil war, are not
now in the ranks of the army which has
been called out to support the Government
He ought to know that very large pro.
portion of that army are men who voted
against him-who detest his doctrines ,and
who regard them as dangerous to the peace
of the country, and inimical to American
freedom. They are there not to support a
Black Republican administration, but to
maintain and uphold the Government un.
der which they live.

Assembly.

We observe that our friend Col. Tate of
the Columbia Democrat, is a candidate for
the Legislature. We have warm feeling
for the Col. and under ordinary circum-
stances would rejoice in his success. We
also have high opinion of, and an earn
est desire for the honor of the profession
and would regret to see him defeated by
an "outsider" not in the profession editor
ial. 10 avoid this contingency; we have
determined to run against the Col. ourself,
so that, in the success of either, the honor
and the dignity of the press, will be MAIN
tanned. We intend to run, "on our own
hook" Our platform is the "Union, the
Constitution and the enforcement of the
laws" To this we add, emo compromise
with traitors" And that the public may
know our sentiments and judge our relative
merits; we hereby challenge the Col to
meet US on every stump, in every green
valley and on every high hill, within the
district, to discuss the issues involved, be-
fore the sovereign people. What says the
Colonel.-.lfontour American.
We say yes, DR.. BroDer, and will be on
>hand like Thousand of brick" Now
let US see y0u "face the music" And by
way cf opening the campaign, we propose
to meet on Thursday next, the first day Of
August, at 3sO'clOck, P. d., on "Quick' S
Summis,' in .Montour township, Columbia
county, overlooking Rupert Station and
the balance Of the country, when and
where we cordially invite, the "whole
wsrld, and the rest of mankind"
N. B.--And further, DIR. BrOseer, we are
perfectly willing that you take DR.. John,
of tho Republican along to hold your hat
on the occasion.

The CRops.-Our exchanges through
out the State give the most fattering ac-
counts of the crops. All through Penn.
sylvania the wheat crop is more than an
average one, and has been harvested in
good condition. The hay, although not
heavy, is of an unusually good quality.
The corn and potatoes are somewhat back.
ward, but they look well, and tho recent
general showers will issue a good product.
With the exception of fruits, there will be
in Pennsylvania more than an average
crop this year.

The Bloomsbury Cornet Band.

The Pilot, published at Grcencastle, this
State, says The Bloomsbury Brass Band I,
attached to the 9th Regiment, of the Penn
sylvania Reserve, paid our town a visit on
last Thursday evening This Band has
sixteen pieces. 1t is under the leadership
of John Hover. Though it is short
time since the members of this Band have
been praeticing together, the music was
well executed, much better than many
older Bands we have heard.
The inspiring strains of "Hail Colum.
bia," filled every heart with joy, and the
chorus
"Firm, united, let US be,
Rallying round our country"
was sensibly felt With many other pa
triotic airs, and instrumental music, an
hour or two passed away, afrording our
people such a treat, as they seldom enjoy.
The selection of pieces throughout, evinced
in an unmistakeablc manner, the taste Of
the performers.
1t is said by those who were fortunate
enough to hear, the pieces sang by the
quartette was in the same splendid style
We know we speak the sentiments of the
citizens, that we appreciata the efforts Of
this Band, and our warmest wishes are
with them. The 9th has cause to be proud
of her musicians.
In the kindness of their hearts they for.
got not the editor and his SUBJ Our better
half and ourself, return our heartiest thanks
for the delicious strains with which they
complimented us.
Like their own music, may their lives
move smoothly along, marred by no dis.
cordant sound, and when their finale shall
come, may they gently close their eyes
and their spirits softly sink away, as sink
their own sweet strains upon the ear o.
even
