COMMITTEE OF VIGILANCE.
In accordance with the rules gov
erning the Democratic party Of Clear
field county, the County Committc
have selected and appointed the fol
lowing named gentlemen to act as q
Committee of Vigilance, for the re-
spectiye boroughs and townships, the
ensuing year. Until last year the
committee consisted Of but three per.
sons, and it has often been demon.
strated that through causes impossi-
/ bio to control, a majority Of this mum.
bor could not always be present, to
discharge the duties enjoincd upon
them, and thus the duty Of holding
the Primary Election devolyed upon
those not designated. The County
Commjtiee deeming il DO violation ni
our rules, have enlarged the commit.
tee, selected scCea persons in the large
districts, and fre in the small. They
would suggest the propriety Of these
committees to hold a meeting q few
days previous to the day Of the elec-
ton, and select and designate three
Of their number to attend and hold
said election, and at the same lime
appoint the return Judge, SO that
each may understand his duty, when
the time of action arrives Its hoped
that all will take lively interest in
maintaining and upholding the rules
and organization Of the only party
that has, and will, govern this coun.
try according to the Constitution, and
the laws enacted in harmony there.
with, and thereby restore Union and
prosperity TO our distracted country
