Republican Meeting.

Pursuant to the call of the County Com
mittee, large number of Republicans from
all parts of the county, met in the Court
House on Wednesday evening, September
2Sth, 1870. The meeting was called to Or
der by 7. H. Murray, Esq, the chairman
of the committee, who announced the fol
lowing persons as officers:
President. Jonathan Boynton, Esq.
Vice Presidents, Arthur Bell, Samuel
Hegarty, Andrew Pentz, Sr., III. w.
Brown, L. w. McGarrey, Thos. w. Moore,
VIM. Albert, Capt. D. L. Copelin, David
Cathcart, John Welch, Claudius Girard,
John 4. Beyers, John Thomson, John
Blair, David Dressler, A. L. Hoover. Geo.
John S. Radebach.
Secretaries, John NJ, Adams, Ed. Liy-
ingston, S. j. Row.
Mr.. Murray then stated the object of the
meeting, after which he introduced the Hon.
Samuel Linn, of Williamsport, who was
received with great applause. Judge Linn,
after referring in complimentary terms to
the pleasure it afforded him to again meet
and address the people of Cleartield county,
proceeded to argue at length the impor
tance Of active and earnest work in the Re
publican ranks-that the spirit of rebellion
in the South, which produced the rebellion,
is not yet dead, and that the success of our
opponents would vitalize the subdued ener-
gies of the confederacy and again endanger
ali the peace and prosperity of our country.
He urged the election of Hon. G. w. SEQ
field, the tried and true friend of the peo-
pie, as an important duty. After Mr.. Linn
closed
FL. B. Swoope, Esq, was loudly called
for, and addressed his fellow citizens in his
usual happy and impressive manner. He
thought the National debt small as compa-
red with the resources of our country, and
that under the financial system of the Re
publican party it would fairly and honestly
be paid without distressing the people. He
eloquently defended the system of Protec-
tive Tariff as against the Free Trade doc
trines of the Democratic party. The one
was designed to encourage and protect the
labor Of our own country-the other would
discourage and break down our manutac-
lures by exposing their trades to the com
petition of the proper wages Of every other
nation.
Hon. j. B. McEnally was next called,
but not being present
T. Fl. Murray, Esq, being called upon,
then addressed the meeting, by briefly re-
viewing the record of the two narties since
1860. He argued that the present peaceful
and prosperous condition of our country is
owing to the success of the principles of
the Republican party. This claim we pre-
sent in this campaign against the claims of
a party with nothing in its late history to
entitie it to confidence, and against the
charges of party which are proven to be
false by its own record.
The uectins now adjourned sine die.

disappointment, that the milk Of human
kindncss IN his ohccbrncvolcnt bosom llas
been turned to gall and bitterness; He
has sunk into very dcsponlcnt, unhap'

symptoms have assumed the hydrOphobic
