A LOYAL Printing Office Mobbed BY

quote from tho article rs follows;
aon Monday evening the 18th inst, about
o'clock. the publication Office Of the True Demo
craft was surrounded by mob ofcxeited and ap-
plfcntly desperate men, who attempted hostile
denominations upon is publisher, and even threat

were under the influence Of liquor, and had jusl
come from tho johnson and Clymcr Club room In
ono OF the upper stories Of Centre Hall. The
Publisher OF the "Tne Democrat WAS alono IN
his Office and unarmed, and probably his isassailanti
knew the fact otherwise they might not have been
quite so eager in inviting him so pcreiaptorily into
their presence"
This must have been n truly formi-

we are told, of "excited and apparent

A GREAT OUTRAGE.-The New York
Tribune has for several weeks past,
published sketches Of the leading
nombcrs of the present Rump Con-
grcss-running through the whole list,
aud notwithstanding the gigantic ne
gro equality ideas which our member
possesses, this journal has not seen fit
to even allude to his name. Aston
ishing as it may appear, Mr.. Scofeld's
name is not even mentioned, and from
al that could be cleaned from The arti-
Gle, stranger would not know that
such man existed in Congress. Now
we insist that this is petty piece OF
spite work on the part of Mr.. Greeley
The organs of Sco6eld in our distric
have time and again assured us thai
he is one of the greatest statesmen il
the land-that he has no superior al
an orator and yet here is the leading
Radical journal coolly passing him BY
without even so much as the mention
Of his name What othcr motiv,
than spite could actuate such course

Our Position.

The following from the Bloomsbury
Pa.) Democrat, is precisely what we
had intended writing for this issue of
our paper and it defines our position
so we'll and the position which every
editor should assume, and is so applica-
bic to this county, that we substitute
it for the article we intended to write :
In respect to the aid or assistance Of
a newspaper, in making nominations
within its own party, we think it
should remain entirely silent (editori-
ally.) In this county, where a nomi-
nation is equivalent to an election, we
know that the battle must be fought
previous to thenominating convention,
and knowing tina. our candidates are
all worthy and entirely capable of fill
ing the positions for which they are
announced, the matter, with us, shall
be left where it rightfully belongs, ,ex-
clusively with the people Of the coun-
ty, relying on the honesty and abili-
tics of our candidates to promote the
public interests as servants OF the peo-
pie. Feeling assured that the people
will not suferfo want of competency,
in any ofthe candidates, we are determ
ined not to interfere either for or
against any one who comes out for
office before the nominating conyen-
tion meets. Notwithstanding the en-
treaties and demands we think our
duty is TO support our party principles
and make its organization as strong
as we can To do this every candI-
date should have clear field and fair
play. To favor, with a newspaper
the nomination of any particular can
didate, would be improper, besides,
wrong TO the other candidates and
their friends. 1t would help to get up
factions and splits, which every Dem
ocrat should do bis best to prevent
At this time, more than any other, we
need union and harmony among the
members Of the Democratic party.
Let every candidate place himself
fairly and squarely before the people
let justice be done, one to another, and
let every one be fully determined to
abide the result cheerhlly. Those
who shall be placed in nomination by
the convention, will receive our will
ing aud undivided support and the
support of the Democratic party
Those who shall be defeated, as some
( of them must be, have only to abide
the result as the "fate of war"

OSCEOLA, Outy - loOO'
To the Democracy of CleaTeld county
GENTLEMEN In the Republican Of
June 27 my name is mentioned, in q
communication, as candidate for the
Legislature. This was without my
consent or knowledge; but subse
quently, at the urgent solicitation o.
many valued friends, asscnted to the
use of my name. They directed its
insertion in the Republican in ample
time to comply with the rules of the
party requiring three weeks notice
but, owing to some misrepresentation
it never reached the hands of the
editor. Under these circumstances,
deem it my plain duty to Withdraw
my name from the contest. Never
having sought the place, my inclina-
ton c0ncurs with the demands of my
business and my duty as Democrat
in bringing me to this conclusion; and
/ shall cheerfully remain a hardwork
ing member of the rank and file of the
party, and in the future as in the past
be ever willing to yield my personal
gain TO the harmony and success o.
the Democracy.
Very respectfully, yours,
