On Friday last, we stated tHat Colonel
Thomas c. MacDowell, at one time the
leading editor of the Patriot and Union
(now the Tory 0rgan,) had been announced
to address Union meeting at Beaver on
the same day. On Saturday last, the Tory
Organ denied the correctness of our state
ment. asserting that it was without founda-
tion in fact. OF course Our announcement
was true, as are all statements which appear
in our columns, in regard to men or measur-
cs, and now to corroborate that truth, we
append an extract from the speech of Col.
MacDowell, delivered, as we stated it would
be, at Beaver on Friday las. In the course
of his remarks, Col. MacDowcll said
"IIe had been struggling for some time to
discover how he could come out from his
old party associations, and he found lie was

his remarks by his duty to his country.
His remarks were especially directed TO the
Democrats, if any were present whose minds
were not clear, and judging from the APP
pause following his remarks on this subject,
we would not be surprised if there were
hundreds of them present. 1t was the duty
of the North to show the South that they

c-sy@ Our Aeriel reporter, has furnished us
full report Of the proceedings of secret
meeting of the copperheads, in regard to
the private arrangements of that party,
growing out of the extraordinary voting,
done at the primary election, and the great
dissatisfaction of some of the defeated
candidates. We have room only for
portion.
The first person called to the stand was
d. Il.
President. Mr.. B., you will please state
your grievances briefly, and see if we cannot
heal up matters.
B-You may heal up fraud as often as
you please, it will always break out in a new
place, like an incuroble sore.
President-Bu we can cover it over with
new Democratic plaster, so that it can't
be seen.
B.--lf you can show me how to put a
quart of wine into pint bottle, you may be
able to satisfy me that the Shamokin vote
was right.
President.-It does seem hard to swallow
such dose, but good Democrat will take
down anything for the sake of tie party,
B.-I begin to think that Harry Masser is
more than half right in his distinction he
tween Democrats and Copperheads-tha a
true Democrat is honest in politics, as IN
everything else. jackson democracy was
very different from the democracy now a
days.
Pyesidcm--Pshaw, Harry Masser is fool.
If he had done as we wanted him, he could
have had anything >hc wanted, and we
wouldn't have been troubled with Purdy,
who was out for office in two years after he
came into the county, and whose defence and
excuses for the robbery and treason of Floyd
Breckenridge and other rebels, has made
many good Democrat feel ashamed TO own
that he was one of that party.
S-Purdy is right on the goose" and that is
all we want-though agree lie did make
an ass of himself in trying to white-wasl
Floyd, the greatest scoundrcl in Buchanan's
Cabinet.

violence, he openly advised in his paper
