Democratic Mass Meetings.

The Democratic State Central Commit
Tee have appointed five mass meetings, to
be held in different portions of the Com
monwealIh on the anniversary of the adop.
ton of the Constitution of the United States
1t is highly proper that the Democracy of
the country should assemble on the 18th
day of September and renew their vows to
support the Constitution framed by the
patriots of the revolution. While they
pledged their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honors in defence OF the principles
embodied in that revered instrument, ought
not The Union ard Constitutonal-loving
party of this great Commonwealth devote a
single day in commemmoration of that
great event.
Scranton has been selected os one of the
places for these meetings. The point was
well selected, and we hope that the favar
will be propearly appreciated By the true
hearted Democracy of this portion of the
State. Let Scfsnton be literally filled to
overhowing on that occasion, and thereby
show 10 the Republicans who boasted long
since that the Democratic party was dead
and buried, that it still lives, and that iis
members are sctuated by the same high
and noble purposes that promoted our FORE
fathers during their contest for the rights ol
freemen.

Outrage in Lancaster County.

We learn from the Lancaster LnfeLis eneer
that on Thursday evening last, after an ad
dress before the Democratic Central Club OF
that city, by Mr.. D. E. SchedIsr, of Berks
county, and as the asdience were about
leaving the Hall, an armed force consisting
of ten or twelve men belonging to the In
valid Corps, so-callsd, appeared at the foot
OF the stairs, where, with fixed bayonets
and loaded muskeis, they attempted 10 pre-
vent any egress from the building unless
Mr. Schecler was surrendered 10 them as a
prisoner. This insoleni demand was prompt.
Iy refused, and the crowd OF Democrats in.
creasing every moment, the military (who
refused TO show any authority for their in
reference and attempted arrest, when re.
quesled 20 do SOL thought discretion the
better part of valor and retired. The
Provost Marshal, TO his credit be it said,
disavows any participation in ihis high hand
ed interference with the citizens in the ex-
srcise oftheir undoubied rights; and The in
reference is that the soldiers, who are all
strangers in that city, were iBsiigated by
some violent Union Leaguers, with the
intention of provoking disturbance, SO as
to furnish a pretexi for placing the city un-
der martial law. A meeting was to te held
in reference to this outrage.

County Ticket.


The County Ticket formed at the Demo-
cratic Convention on Monday last a, this
place, will Iavorably compare, in every re-
speci, wiihrany ticket ever formed in Col
unlbia county. The nominees are of the
very best men Of the county; and will al be
elected beyond shadow of a doubt by
handsome lnajorities. They are men OF ex-
perisnce ard ability, well qualified to dis
charge the dulles Of the res pective Offices
for which they are named.
Hon. Levi L. TATE wasrecommended by
The Convention as a candidate for State Sem
ator from this county. Should he succeed
10 getting the Conference nomination his
election ID he District is snre, and he would
make, with his Legislative experience, an
active and energetic member OF the Senate.
The Convention appointed Conferees,
wiih instructions 10 support in Conference.
Hons. GEoRGE D. JACKSON, of Sullivan, aud
JelHx C. Ellis, OF Montour, as our next can
didates for Members of the Legislature
The candidates named are worthy and hon
est men, both having served one term out
to the general satisfaction OF their constiIu-
ellis- Their nominations are sure and their
elections beyond question. The District will
give them handsome endorsement. They
are sound rational Democrats, worthy the
support OF all truly 10y al and conservative
men Of the District
JEsse (;oLEnAS, OF Orange, was nomina-
ted for the Office OF Proihonoiary and Clerk
oflhs several Courts of Columbia county BY
a,clamasicn; his opponent, JACoB EyERLy,
who has long and faithfully served the peo-
pie, having declined being candidate, by
latter which WAS read to The Convention.-
BIr. Coleman will make, if we are not great
ly deceived, an excellent officer. His quail
iiicalions are ample for the position. He
ils good English and German scholar. The
fact OF his being familiar with the German
sernacuIar will be OF great advantage to him
as well as the citizens of the county. Mr..
Isyerly's letter Of declinaiion will be found
10 the proceedings of The Convention, in
smother column. Il is manly and 10 the
point, isndering thanks to the Democracy
for their many evidences of confidence.

Is IT TRUE.-Gov. Curtin, at the COM
mencemens of the last session OF the
Legislature, earnestly recommended the
passage of bill making it penal offence
10 pay laboring men in store orders. The
Legislature did pass bill for that purpose
which We published some time ago, when
Curlir's organ, the Telegraph, announced
that be had signed il. Shortly afterwards
this 1eiegrapk declared the Governor had
not signed 1t, and moreover would not.
New light had dawned upon him, and to
this day the script remains without the
Governors sanction. In return for this, it
is said that the oh-masiers o: the State,
who have grown rich by thai which Cur
lin few months ago through robbery,
were in force 10 Pittsburg, working for the
Governors re- domination. Curtin has prom
ised them not to sign the bill. VIII he
keep bis word or will be now, in the hope
OF humbuging the working men, cheat the
irsn-masieFs and Sign il Well see.

A BLACK RECORD.
CURTlE'S P0RTRAIP-DRAWN BY ABLAGK
REPUBLICAN.
CHOW .hs Nomination is Viswedo at Homs.

When candidate s own party voluni eers
to paint him as black as Satan there is no
need that we should try TO make him black
er. The tint is deep enough, and we accept
the portrait as it came from the hands of
the limner. We know well enough what
the record will show against his Excellency,
but the weather is too warm TO work in the
mine just now before the election many
things not calculated to elevate him in the
estimation OF honorable men will appear
but Tor the present, as a fortaste of that
which is in reserve, we take the following
from the Pittsburg Gazette, Republican
paper as black and venonous as any in the
State-it was addressed to the Convention
that nominated CURTIN:

The LEoTURE.-The subject of the ex-
ira lecture before the Library Association,
this evening, is an author recognized as one
of the few original poets that have ever
lived. The theme is one replete with histOr-
icel and romantic interest. The incidents of
Chaueer's life, his influence at two of the
most brilliant courts in the annals of Eng
land, are facts worthy of investigation and
reflection.
It is not often we have an opportunity of
going back to the starting point of English
literature, and as the opportunity Of hearing
something about one of the most exciting
periods in English history seldom comes, We
should regard it as all the more precious.
We assure our readers that Mr.. Bentley
has prepared with care for their enjoyment
this evening, lecture upon a theme full of
useful information. Mr.. Bentley is no
stranger in literature, having devoted many
years to intellectual pursuits, and is fully
competent as well to entertain as to instruct.
Go and learn something of one of the great
est benefactOrs to the English tongue. 1t is
homage due to the Father of English Poe
| try.

DEATH OF ADJUTANT MAssEYs-Another
vail from the campI another home circle
stricken with griefl another branch of a
family tree torn away by the ruthless tenn
pest of treason Oh man, what work is
too damuable for thy hands when goaded on
by selfish ambitionl It would be idle to
hope that our community, SO largely repre-
sented as it is in the ranks Of the defenders
of the Union, should not have to mourn the
sacrifice of some of its sons but the knowl-
edge of this certainty can do little more than
prepare the loyal heart to receive the wound
that is inflicted when gallant defender of
the flag lays aside the insignia Of his proud
position for the babiliments of the grave
We have rendered up, since the outbreak of
this unparalleled rebellion, many whose
names are not unworthy to be inscribed upon
the most enduring tablets, and many mere,
sad though the reflection be, must follow
them. Let their memories be at least kept
green in the hearts of their fellOw-citizens.
The subject of this article was in the front
rank, as a soldier and patriot, of those who
enthusiastically espoused the cause of their
country early in the rebellion. A young man
of fine qualifications, occupying lucrative
position in our midst, with future full Of
promise, he did not hesitate, when the flag
of his country was assailed by traitors, to
yield up all and enter the ranks in the hum
blest capacity, feeling, as must every
patriot, that all other considerations were
but as shadows compared with the salvation
of the mighty citadel of human freedom
whose foundations were laid upon the bones
and cemented by the blood of the revolution
ary fathers. In an obituary notice, which
will be found in its appropriate place, is Civ
en- brief record of the career of Adiutant
Massey record which does the highest
honor to him as a man and citizen, and in
which those near and dear ones from whom
he has been separated cannot but find solace
in their bereavement.
As already announced, Adjutant Massey
died on Sunday morning last, at the resi-
dence of his father in this city, of wounds
received in the sanguinary battle of Muir
freesbOrO', in which his regiment, the Gath
0. V. I aided much in achieving that glo-
riOus triuE1ph for the Federal arms. The
memory Of such men as Adjutant Massey is
worthy Of place in the hearts of all, and the
record Of their deeds should not be forgotten,
50 that generations yet to come may learn the !
sacred price it cost to preserve to them this
Union, and be inspired thereby to maintain
its integrity against its enemies from what
ever quarter they may come.
