here by officials from parties in Northern
New York, in which still further disclo-

of the Cosperheads in that State to resist

conspirators were foilled by the prompt
action of loyal citizens"

We learn that Mr.. Fisher, who holds
a commission as Especial ard confidential
agent of the United States," was tried this
week in Sunbury, for assault and battery,
upon Mr.. Zimmerman, whom he as
special and confidential agent" had
arrested. The offence, as we are inform
ed, was that this young man, thinner
man, with others, being at work in the
harvest field, amused themselves as Mr.
Fisher was passing, by singing "John
Browns soul &C." for which Mr.. f. re-
proved them, when Mr.. u, advised him to
attend 10 his business and they would at
tend to theirs. This SO cnraged the Off
cial that he drew his revolver and arrested
Zimmerman and took him off to Sunbury.
For this he was prosecuted.

Organize, Democrats [

DEMOCRATS There never was q time
when there was greater necessity fof or
ganization and unity Of action. We are
soon to enter upon canvass, the results Of
which will be Of vast importance to our
State. In view Of the calamitous condi-
ton of the country, it is all important that
the present party in power should be de.
feated. There is much to encourage the
Democracy and inspire them to action
The very bitterness of the opposition, the
abuses of their authority by prosecuting
Democrats, demands that no effort should
be spared to eradicate them from Office
As we value our liberties and the welfare
Of our families, we should do our whole
duty in the coming canvass. If we sue
ceed, as we certainly will il We do our duty,
our reward will be ample. If we fail we
will have nothing with which to reproach
ourselves. 1t Is time when every free
man should guard well his liberty at the
ballot box. Our political adversaries are
active. They are organizing secretly, and
are pledged to support the Administration
in every act. We have already expert
encod the acts of usurpation done in the
name of the Union, which all have been
sustained by that party. We may rest
assured that, il it can be done with i'm =.
punty, they will be increased thousand
fold. Let the Democrats and conservative
men Of Pennsylvania be up and doing.
Let us all go to work and pursue our
course regardless of the abuse or intimi-
dations of the Abolitionists. The hearts
Of the people are with US. We have only
10 conduct the campaign with firmness, de-
termination and zeal in order 10 achieve a
glorious victory. The Democratic party,
however, is no place for towards. He who
cannot receive the intmidatons of the Alb
olitienists with Indifference should at once
surrender and make terms with them. He
is not fit to be freeman. Eternal vigi-
lance is the price Of liberty, and they who
have not the nerve to resist encroachments
which it requires no vigilance to discover
are unworthy Of the boon which they have
not the courage to defend. We, therefore
appeal to the Democracy of this county and
of this State, as they love their wives and
children, as they value their liberty, as
they prize the comforts of their homes and
iresides, in the name of all that is dear to
them, to arouse themselves and prepare to
defend at the ballot. box the precious and
sacred heritage of freedom, left them by
their forefathers in the Constitution of the
United States. Organize in every neigh.
borhood, form clubs, and prepare for action
Delay not, but straightway put you shoul.
ders to the wheel. Rest not in fancied
seclusion and security but remember dan.
ger is upon and around US. Arouse, then,
Democrats, and redeem your State from
the rule Of madness which now disgraces it.
