GRAND TABLEAu.-Ifthere were aoy
persons in this community stupid
enough to suppose that the Democrats
of Clearfeld were "a band Of traitors" "
or that the party was dead, we imagine
they discovered their mistake, If they
were present and heard and saw what
transpired in the Courtroom on Sat
urday night. The room vas crowded
to witness the presentation of a mag.
nificent silk Flag, on the part of the
Democratic ladies, to the Seymour
a Blair Club of this borough. The
arrangements were magnificent. The
stage was occupied by choir and
forty young ladies arrayed in white.
Thirty seven Of whom bore alternate
ly scarls of cred white and blue, with
the name Of State upon each. The
other three were properly arrayed,
and represented, respectively, Justice,
the Goddess Of Liberty, and Peace.
The former held in her hands a sword
and a pair Of scales, while the Goddess
OF Liberty elevated splendid silk
Flag, and the latter hugged the horn
of plenty, well filled with the fruits OF
the field The sight was grand, and
caused many doll" persons present to
stop and soliloquise whether Union
Of all the States was not preferable to
the ragged and deiled thing we now
have Ex.Goy Bigler, on behalf of
the ladies, in an appropriate manner,
presented the banner to the Club, and
Col. Walter Barrett was dcputed by
the Club to receive the emblem Of our
nationality The Flag was delivered
TO Col. Barrett, by the Goddess of
Liberty, in a style and manner which
"Virtuo, Liberty and Independence
alore can assume. The Colonel then
addressed the assomblage in an olo-
quent manner; plcdging the Club,
and all others who would enlist under
"this old Democratic banner" TO con
tinuo their labors tosthe end that the
"stars and stripes should soon again
wave over the land Of the free and the
home ofthc brave. He then delivered
the banner into the hands of J B.
Walters, Esq, who, upon receiving It,
pledged his efforts aud those Of the
Club, TO labor until it should wave
over thirty.soven, or more, FREQ, indie
pendent and sovereign States. Dur
ing the proceedings, the choir sang in
a grand style the FStar Spangled Ban
ner" and other national airs. The
proceedings closed about halfpast 8
o'clock, and we saw more pleased
countenances emerge from the Court
House door, than we ever did before,
The Flag isa magnificent one, made
of heavy silk, and cost one hundred
dollars. The Democracy are mainly
indebted 10 Mrs. j D. Walters, Mrs.
Faust and Miss Mary Waltors, through
whose untiring zeal and energy the
plan was conceived and successfully
carried ont

SoUrH CAROLINA In q recent con-
versation with somo of the leading
men Of South Carolina we were pleased
to find that they were perfectly conf
dent Of their ability to carry that State
for Seymour aud Blair. The gentle
men to whom we refer have made
pretty thorough canvass of the State
have made close and thorough esti-
mates OF their strength in the several
districts, and their figures foot up a
handsome majority for the Democra-
cy. The people are thoroughly aroused
and every man is at work, An through
the upper districts the whites are n
unit, und the colored people are com
ing over TO the Democracy by hun-
dreds and thousands. The black men
have discovered the true character Of
the carpet-baggers and scalawags, and
as their treachorios and villainies are
daily exposed by the true men of the
State, they are renouncing their afilia-
tion with them, aud focking to the
cause and the party OF their old mas
ters and friends.-Augusid Sentinel.
