4 COMMITTEE OF VIGILANCE.
In accordance with the rules gov
erning the Democratic party of Clear
field County, the county Committe
have selected and appointed the fol-
lowing named gentlemen, to act as a
Committee of Vigilance, for the re-
: spective boroughs and townships, the
ensuing year Heretofore the COM
mittee has consisted of but three per
sons, and il has often been demonstra.
ted that through causea impossible to
8 control, majority of this number
|, could not always be present, to dis
! charge the duties enjoined upon them,
and thus the duty Of holding the pri-
mary election devolved upon those not
: designated The County Committe,
I deeming it no violation of our rules
have enlarged the committee, select
ing seuen persons in the large districts
s and fve IN the small. They would
$ suggest the propriety of these com
mittees to hold meeting few dayi
: previous to the day Of the election
and select from among, and designate
z three of their number to attend anc
> hold said election. and at the sam,
time appoint the return judge, so, thai
each may understand his duty, wher
tho time of action arrives. 1t is hopet
, that all will take lively interest il
maintaining and upholdiug the rules
:. and organization of the only party
8 that has, and will, govern this coun
!, try according to the Constitution, and
S the laws enacted in harmony there
z with, and thereby restore us Union
. and prosperity to our distracted coun
is try, which has been so terribly afliic
l. ted by dcmagogues and traitors, undel
the guise of patriotism and "1oyalty.'
