Afoat Again.


For three weeks we have issued no Centre
Democrat. The first reason we have to give
Uur readers for not issuing is that JAS. S.
Brisbin. heretofore Senior editor Of this pa
per and Gee. II. Burkert one Of the appreu-'
tees, left to battle for constitutional Free
dom; Mr.. Burkert having gone with the Fen
ciblss and Mr.. Brisbin having received a
uieatenancy from Pennsylyania's true and
tried son, cur efficient Secretary -of-War.
Hon. Simon Cameron. The Lieut., after
receiving his appointment withdrew his eon-
Destion with tie paper. The second reason
is that we could not go on until we had col
lected some of the ''sinews of War;" for it
takes money to keepa paper moving, and
if our subscribers will be little more pune
tual in paying up. we think we are now
ready 30 run the ''old machine" till the close
of the present volume on our own hook
But We must have money or sem mething as
good. If our patrons do what is fair we will
give them the best newspaper in Centre coun-
ty. Col. Brown has kindly consented to con-
tinue his connection with the paper, as As
sociate Editor. Of his ability, certainly, we
need not speak.
Tue Centre Democrat has been and still is
the advocate of the Peoples Rights-es>
pecially the rights of the Farmers, Mechan-
les and laboring men Of ths country. Such
it will continue to be, and We know that the
honest and sturdy men Of Centre county
will not do without it if they consult their
own interests. The best evidence of the ap-
probation of the Democrat by the honest peo-
pie of Centre county, Isl that they have
supported it 30 long, Notwithstanding the
strong opposition it has had to contend with
en- account of its plain outspoken truths.-
Thus it will ever be. Truth will always
meet with opposition. And plain, honest
advocate of the working men of the country
will always have a strong and enduring op-
position from Capitalists and monepolies, at
the North as well the South-in the Old as
we'll the New World. Hence the necessity
Ofthe farmers. mechanics and laboring men
of the country reading and thinking and vo.
ting for themselves, regardless of the in.
irigues and dictation of party leaders and
political demagogues.
Wewent into the last Campaign with all
the honesty of eur heart voting for Abraham
Lincoln and Andrew G. Curtin, as the rep
resentative men the one of the Nation, the
other of the State-of glorious and an
eternal principle Liberty and Freedom, =
The Constitution andsthe Laws. They stood
upon the Chicago or Republican platform
which we believed contained all there was
left of Equal and Exact Justice to all,'' in
the Country. The result since has proved
that we were right And therefore we have
no apologies to make. So long as the Ma
tional and State Administrations carry Out
the,doctrines of that platform, and what ever
other measures in behalf of Constitutions a
Liberty, the present emergency may re,
quire, they shall have the support of the
Centre Democrat. And if it becomes neces
sary, we will drop the pen. the stick and the
rule, and take up the musket in their defence
and in defence of the Old Flag.

THE STopPAGE, OF Provisions FOR THE
SoUTH.-The report from the West that pro
visions destined for the South, but marked
for Kentucky, have been stopped on the line
by order of the Government is correct. The
Administration intends, rather in Difference
to the almost unanimous sentiment of the
West, than from a conviction of the wisdom
of policy, to stop shipments, whether di
rect or indirect. The practical difficulty is
to determine whether goods are in good faith
intended for Kentucky consumption. or not.

There is no feature of the present Revolution tina
will be regarded hereafter more beautiful and
attractive than the universal and self-sacrif Gins
devotion of the women. From childhood to Venera
BILE age, the spirit snimates al-the same pure
fame of patriotism burns in every bosom
In late list of contributions to the Soldiers Re-
lief Society, we notice the following
Zone pair of socks, from 3 lady &c years of age

And, upon enquiry, we found that this lady is the
last surviving heal descendant of the Revolutions

famous sentiment, Millions for defence, but not q

Nothing can be more touching or encouraging
than the personal tribute and personal participation
of all froG tie youngest to the most aged, in pro-
viding comfort for our brave defenders When the
history of the revolution is written the patro tsm
of woman, modest as we'll as true no less heroic
than gentle, will grace its brightest page.-CAdrlss

Some trouble has occurred in filing our orders
for coal, mainly on account of transportation, it
being impossible to get our cars returned while we
were dependent upon the ordinary freight trains.
lit is due, however, to Mr. COLE to say he has done
all in his powerl But next week we are to have a
regular coal train, to be continued. Under this
new arrangement we can resssure the people Of
Nashville that henceforward, more than 100 tons of
coal shall be delivered at Nashville every day,
Iohola change Of price, and that everything shall
be done that can be to have it delivered.
