DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS.

We refer the readers of the Freeman to
the address of the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee to the ''Pcople Of Pennsyl-
vania,' to be found in another column.
1t sets forth, clearly and distinctly, the is
sues of the day, and we trust Will be read
by all, and its facts and arguments deeply
poRdered.
The power to govern themselves is al
most imperccptibiy but surely gliding from
the sovereign people, and unless the warn
ing voice be needed IN time the people
may realize too late the total loss of their
liberty.
We urge upon all the reading of this
admirable address. Read it, and when
you have carefully read and considered it,
compare the situation Of our country with
that Of any former period, in peace or war,
and if that comparison invokes the perfor-
nance Of any duty, let that duty be per-
formed at whatever sacrifice Of former
feelings or prcjudices. Forget party and
think of your country. Think what il
was in former years and what it is now,
Examine tie present condition of the
country, and compare it with the history
of its palmy days, and then form your
own judgment as TO where radical policy
is tending.
Do more than this. Hand this paper
to your neighbor who is too poor or toe
careless to take one himself, Point out
the address to him, and if he can't read it
read it TO him, and explain it to him
Place the situation Of the country in its
true Ight-explain the conduct and ;h,
ieories Of radicalsm-an the result vii
Istify your labor, and your conscienc,
i'll approve the act. Democrats have
1thing to appeal to but the sober, ma
Aared judgment of the white citizen, ant
when fair opportunity for information i!
: given that judgment will not err.

A CARD FROM THE
iMERICiN WATCH COMPiNE
WAETEEAIa. MASS.

This Company beg leave TO inform the
public that they commenced operations in
1850, and their factory now covers four acres
Of ground, and has cost more than a million
dollars, and employs over 700 operatives
They produce over IS, 900 Watches year,
and make and sell not less than one half tie
Watches sold in the United States.
The difference between their manufacture
and the European is briefly this European
Watches are made almost entirely 6y hand,
and the result is Of necessity a lack Of that
uniformity which is Indispensable to correct
time keeping. Both the eye and the hand
OF the most skillful operative must vary.
But 1t IS fact that, except Watches of the
higher grades. European Watches are the
product OF the cheapest labor of Switzerland.
and the result is the worthless Azores Le-
pines and 50 called Patent Levers, which soon
cost more in attempted repairs than their
original price. Common workmen, bows and
women, buy the rough separate parts of
these Watches from various factories. polish
and put them together, and take them to
the nearest watch merchant, who stamps
and enSraves them with any name or brand
that may be ordered.
HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.
The American Walsham Watch is made
oy no such uncertain process, and by no such
incompetent workmen All the Company's
operations, from the reception of the raw
materials to the completion of the Watch.
are carried on under one roof and under one
skllliul and competent direction. But the
great distinguishing feature of their Watches
Is the fact that their several parts are made
by the finest, the most perfect and delicate
machinery ever brought to the aid of human
industry. Every one of the more than a
hundred of
machine that infallibly reproduces every sue
ceeolng part with the most unvarying accu-
racy. 1t was only necessary to make one
perfect watch OF any particular style, and
then to adjust the hundred machines neces-
sary TO reproduce every part of that watch.
and IT follows that every succeeding watch
must be like it,
The Company respectfully submit their
watches on their merits only. They claim to
Make n Better Article for the Money
by their improved mechanical processes than
can be made under the old>fashioned handi.
craft system. They manufacture watches
OF every grade, from good, low priced and
substantial article, in solid silver hunting ca
ses, to the finest chronometer; and also Ia
dies watches, in plain gold or the finest
enameled and ieweled cases; but the indis-
pensable requisite of all their watches is that
they shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERS. II
should be remembered that, except their
single lowest grade named ..Home Watch
Company, Boston," ALL WATCHES made
by them
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
by special certificate, and this warrantee
Is good at all times against the Companv or
its agents. ROBBINS & APPLETON.

AtrOciOus Conspiracy 10 remove
the President.

In the history of the world it has fire.
quently occurred that nations have been
saved from perils that menaced their very
existence by some untoward act of perfidy
and crime OH the part of those high in place
and IN power, which, awakening the peo-
pie from their lethargy, created a reaction
IN their minds, and led to a successful as
sertion of those rights which had been so
much imperilled. A crime of the most
appalling character that ever defaced the
pages of history, by which we were again
TO be deprived of President by an act
worse than assassination, has just been
exposed to the public vision of the Ameri-
can people.
All will recollect with what horror the
assassination of President Lincoln fell up
on the American people. 1t was the first
taking off" by violence of the chosen
head Of the American Republic, and the
fearful end of the assassin gave hope that
the crime would never be repeated.
But here we have an attempt, Provi-
Gentially crushed in the bud, to remove
his successor, which for the enormity of
the crime and the character of the parties
concerned in it, throws the Booth tragedy
TAR into the shade
Ii VIII be borne in mind that in the
conspiracy trial of Mrs Surratt and 9TH
ers, Judge Holt, who was at the head of
what was jocularly called the ''Bureau of
MILITARY JUSTICE" had been most unscru-
Puious In the means he used to procure a
conviction. He had used the funds with
which he was literally supplied in paying
the expenses of the vilest criminals and
outcasts as witnesses, and it was even
brought home that bribery and suborna-
'ion OF perjury had been resorted to to Sc
cure conviction. The means used secured
the end-the alleged conspirators were
convicted ond executed-justly, perhaps,
with the exception of Mrs. Surratt.
But the perjury Of one Of these witness
es, Sanford Conover, as he was then call
co. 'his real name being Charles a. Dun
''"h') became so apparent that he was
ai'erward put on trial and convicted, on
'ne ciearest testimony. of perjury, and
any sentenced Since that conviction he
mas been an inmate of the prison at Wash
inston city. = '''''

TERRIBLE STRUGGLE WITH A SNAKE
A few days since the wife of Mr.. William
Richardson, of Waldo Township, OHIO,
missing her little boy, went cut in the gar
den and found the little fellow eighteen
months old) literally enveloped in the folds
of a monster snake. Her cries did not
reach the father, who was at work in a
neighboring field, and seeing her boy black
with strangulation, she heroically seized
the snake in her hands and lore it loose.
No sooner was it loose, however, than it
made for the mother ferociously, and
coiled itself about her person, attempting
TO strangle her, as it did the boy. She
again siezed II and disengaged herself from
1t and killed it with an axe The little
child swelled up for several days, but he
fully recovered. The snake was what
is called the s'blue racer" which does not
bite, but strangles, and measured ten feet

1HE SURRATT TRIAL. After consum-
ing fiity-twO days in the trial of John H
Surratt for completely in the murder of
President Lincoln, and after every effort
on part of the government and the parti-
san Judge (Fisher), before whom he was
arraigned, to secure his conviction, the
prisoner has been virtually acquitted by
the failure to agree and discharge of the
jury on Saturday last. From the first
balloting to the last, throughout the seven
ty-two hours the jury were celebrating,
the vote stood four for conviction and
eight for acquittal. This decision will
meet the appreciation of vast majority of
those who have read the testimony as hon
est, fair-minded men, not as political par
tisans. Judge Fisher based his charge
to the jury upon the doctrine enunciated
IN the Williamsport platform, that their
decision should be in s'harmony with the
political opinions of majority of the
people" but some of the jury did not so
understand their oaths, and hence the re-
suit.
After the discharge of the jury Judge
Fisher suspended Joseph H. Bradley,
Esq, one of the counsel for TIE prisoner,
from further practice in that CO. urt, for
alleged contempt. This announcement
created quite a sensation. Mr.. Bradley
pronounced the statement that he had been
guilty of contempt utterly false in every
particular, and denied the right of the
Judge to dismiss him. Subsequently Mr..
Bradley challenged Judge Fisher to NOR
tai combat, and thus the matter stands at
latest accounts. Fishers conduct is gen.
orally denounced by the members of the
bar.

During his incarceration, J. NJ, Ashley,
Radical member of Congress from Ohio,
paid frequent visits to the cell of Dunham,
which were the subject of comment at the
time The almost incredible fact is now
apparent that this wretch, Ashley, along
with another member of Congress, Ben
jamin +. Butler, (the Beast made an ar
rangement that Dunham was to be par
doned, atpon condition that lie ,could furnish
than ,Ctt,aeSseS ,Cho could be 61Tbed to s,cea,'
that President johnson ,cas q party to tie
assassination Of LmcoLn
This hideous plot was commenced as
early as April last, when Ashley promised
to secure this pardon. He then gave the
convict full programme of what was to
be procured in the way of testimony to
accomplish their hellish purposes. This
was: lst. To procure witnesses to prove
that Booth was in the habit of visiting
MIR. johnson. I'd. That correspondence
passed between them, (Booth and MIR.
Johnson.) Sd. That the placing of Atze-
rott with weapons at the Kirkwood House,
where Mr.. johnson boarded, was only a
sham. And all this was to be proved by
witnesses who were in the conspiracy, for
Butler, one of these Congressional muir
dercrs, who understood the whole plan,
had got an act Of Congress passed promis-
ing pardon to all parties concerned in the
Assassination who would come forward and
testify This would excuse the new wit
nesses from not having testified on the
former trial
After this bogus testimony was pro-
cured by Dunham, in fulflment of his
contract with Ashley and Butler, the wit
nesses were brought before these worthief
to recite their parts, which they did *
their entire satisfaction. Ashley promised
them that when the thing was over 'they
should be splendidly rewarded" and als(
promised to do great things for them wheI
, | Mr.. Johnson's successor should be chosen
But we dwell too long on details. Th,
whole of this false and suborned testimo
ny was to be introduced to the Impeach
ment Committee, and afterwards on tn
! trial OF the President before the Senate, t.
: secure his removal from office, and hi
trial and conviction for the assassination
of Lincoln.
y Not the least revolving part of this dia
:, bolical conspiracy is the fact that Ashle,
:, prepared a petition to the President 70
the pardon of Dunham, which WAS en-
- dorsed by Holt and others, thus seekin.
. the clemency of the President as the mean
+ of securing an instrument to accomplish
his own ruin.
If it should be argued, in defence Q
: Ashley, that Dunhan is unworthy of be
. lief, the answer is ready that Ashley an
u Butler have endorsed his character fU
. truth, and they cannot now assaiI it.
. But it is unnecessary, even, to believ
: Durham, as Ashley's own letters furnisl
4 convincing proof Of the conspiracy. TAX
e ing the whole matter into consideration
we may safely say that the darkest da,
of the most unhappy country furnishe
@ nothing to exceed the enormity of thi
attempt.

SECRETARY STANTON OUsTED. = The
Secretary of War having refused to COM
ply with the Presidents request TO resign,
Mr. johnson notified him on Monday that
his further services would be dispensed
with, and requested him to transfer all re-
cords, books, etc, to General Grant who
has been authorized to act as Secretary al
interim. Gen. Grant informed Mr.. Stan
ton of his acceptance Of the position, and
the late Secretary replied that he would
submit under protest to superior force. -

JUDGE FISHER, who materially assisted
the prosecution in the recent trial OF j Jobn
II. Surratt, in his speech to the jury. gave
vent to the following Pharisaical excla-
nation
'In a cause involving the life of the
prisoner upon the one hand, and the vim
dication of the outraged justice of a nation
in mourning upon the other, deemed it
nly duty to cast not an atom IN the one scale
on the Other aohtch might Gy any possibility
tend to prejudice either side Of the 'ssue''
Any one who watched the trial, and
saw the extraordinary manner in which
Judge Fisher ruled against the prisoner,
will be sorely tempted to place the Judge
in the same category with the witnesses
whose character for truth and yeracity
was so severely questioned by their neigh
bors' testimony.-Age
