Dear ST;-l have just came home from
Centre county, where have been visit
ing my old Democratic friends for the
last month. found them true low. as
of old, to tho principles of Democracy.
afflicted, as the Democrats of ClearfieId
county are, with the bad state of public
affairs under the rule of abraham, and
fearing the great danger, as we do, of our
Republican institutions under the power
as exercised and carried out by the Lin
coin Administration. Tyranny rules there
just as tyranny Is the rule here in Clear
held county. Peaceabie citizens are ares
ted because they are Democrats, without
complaint, charge or hearing, and hur-
ried away to some bastile before their
friends know of their absence. Can these
tyrant Devils be submitted to much lon
ger. ii the people know their rights, and
put forth their power, answer, not
Therefore | would warn the human Dew
lis before 1t DO too late, TO pause in the
exercise of their tyranny, and con-
template the forbearance Of the people
torbearance any longer with them may
cease to be virtue with the people, and
IN their omnipotent power they will be
constrained TO defend their persons, the
Laws and the Constitution. And would
say to the Servants u the people, one and
all, II you cannot do your duty, TO
guaro. the proper exercise Of the law in
potectlng the people of their rights and
Liberties under the adopted Constitutions
OF the land, why, be honest, ar Just tell
the people so, and the people will tax
care OF themselves, and can apply the
remedy, by hanging the tyrants, which
will cure the evils fear things have
gone too far already for a milder remedy
to cure the evils and restore the country

Pat. Curley, in his statement TO the mil
itary court trial at Harrisburg, has made
a real cats paw of himself, and for SO do
ing will be detested and considered infa-
nous oil the days of his life, by every hon
est and good citizen. And those whose
tool he WAS, may expect, and can not es
cape, the just indignation, and lasting
! damnation of the people for their larger
share in the matter of throwing their dirt
on two of our citizens, whose characters
can not be soled by all the dirt thrower'

-Democracy is living principle
and will never die. Dare these tyrants il
