THE DAILY E ITEMING TELEGRAPH riliLADKLPlllA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1870. THE BALANCE OF POWEJi. Fton the X T. Ttibune. When John Bright, in ISi'm, pronoun eel the theory of the balance of power, ''that glgantio system of oat-door relief for the aristocracy of Great Britain," to he "pretty nearly dead and buried," he probably did noi really perceive how close its end was at hand. "It rises np before me when I think of it," said he, "as a ghastly phantom which, dating one hundred and seventy years whilst it has been worshipped in this country, has loaded the nation with debt and with taxes, has sacrificed the lives of hnndreds of thousands of Englishmen, has desolated the homes of millions of families, and has left us, as the great result of the profligate expenditure which it has caused, a doubled peerage at one end of the social scale, and a far more than doubled pauperism at the other." The war in Italy, the war in Denmark, the Austrian war of all did much to destroy this costly superstition; but its final overthrow was left for the present summer. With Germany united, Mr. Pitt's policy, to which English statesmen have so blindly adhered, of making war npon every Continental State which began to grow stronger than its neigh bors, and keeping every kingdom within cer tain arbitrary boundaries, without regard to the wishes or interests of the people, ceases to be possible. Great Britain ran no longer interfere, because warfare has now assumed proportions entirely beyond her strength. France, which has of late been a more dangerous" and infatuated advo cate of the balance of power fallacy than even England, will be unable to meddle much with continental politics for years to come; and unless the present aspect of affairs is sud denly and unexpectedly changed, she will never be strong enough to resist United Germany. Austria took her punishment four years ago, and has ever since been in a criti cal position, where peace and quiet are her only hope. We see no prospect, therefore, that battles will hereafter be fought for the foolish purpose of keeping Europe broken up into petty States, and perpetuating dynastic jealousies. There are now but two really great powers in Europe Germany, which the spontaneous impulse of the people is rapidly consolidat ing and raising to its proper place as the leader of civilization -in the old world, and .Russia, half emerged from barbarism, but making gigantic strides in the augmentation of military strength, as well as the acquisi tion of territory. The greatest danger now lies in their dread of each other's encroach ments, and the problems of European politics hereafter must touch principally the relations of these two powerful States, one covering the richest portion of central Europe, the other moving gradually south and east to wards the Mediterranean Sea and the plains of Asia. There does not seem to be in any of the lesser powers, or in all of them together, strength enough to stop their onward movement, or even to seriously check it.

NOTICES. liar SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. TO THE REPUBLICANS OF THE SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. The great importance of tfie approaching Con prrsslonal election to the interests ol our city, and being the tegular Republican nominee for Conareis In the Second district, the time has arrived when I should lay before the people a short but complete statement or my reasons for asking their support. I claim to be the regular Republican no.ninoa for three reasons: I. That I Was nominated by the convention held Wednesday, June 16, 1870, in accordance with the rules governing the Republican party. II. That a majority of the whole number of dele gates voted for me, having received 4J votes out of 6?. III. That I was renominated by the convention held Tuesday, September 13, 1S70, In accordance with the decision of the Executive Committee of the State Central Committee, receiving 44 votes out of 6S. As soon as Mr. O'Neill was defeated In the nomination, the influence of all the United States Government departments within the city (Revenue, Tost Office, Custom Honse, Mint, Ar senal, Navy-Yard, etc., etc.), was brought to bear npon the various ward executive committees to in duce them to send such representatives only to the City Executive Committee as would favor Air. O'Neill. In this they succeeded, and to-day a ma jority of the Republican City Executive Committee hold office under the United States and city govern ments. Mr. O'Neill then appealed to the City Executive Committee, protesting against; iny recognition as the regular nominee by that body, His plau was to have the whole matter referred to a sub-committee con sisting of the members of the City Committee who represented the wards comprising the Second Con gresional distrlot. To secure a majority of said sub committee, the seats of Messrs. Peak and Everly, of the First and Twenty-sixth wards, were contested. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Huhn, Porter, MeCullough, Hong, and Albright, was appointed, to whom these contested seats were referred. Of this committee, Messrs. Porter and MeCullough, repre senting the Eighth and Tenth wards, were dele gates for Mr. O'Neill at the conven tion of June 15. Now what was the consequence 7 Messrs. Peak and Everly were thrown cut and Lntz and McBride (both O'Neill men) admitted, although it was positively and distinctly shown that in the First ward Mr. Peak received a majority of the votes cast and that a friend of Mr. O'Neill's seized the credentials of the Ward Executive Committee, and whilst destroying them drew a pistol and threatened to shoot the first man who dared interfere. In McBrlde's caso the testimony showed that the Twenty-sixth Ward Executive Committee coLsisted of fifty-one mem bers, and that out of these 61 McBride received 17 and Everly 84 votes. After the organization of the City Committee, the matter was referred to this sub-committee, in ac cordance with the plan above mentioned. This committee consisted of Messrs. Lutz, Porter, Hill, MeCullough, and McBride, three of whom are Assistant Assessors of Internal Revenue, McBride, Porter, and MeCullough, the latter two also dele gates of Mr. O'Neill's. Hill is Collector of Delin quent Taxes and from Mr. O'Neill's ward, the Ninth, and Lntz Alderman of the First ward. When Mr. O'Neill and myself appeared before this committee, I protested against its Jurisdiction for the following reasons: I. That a Congressman was a State office', and that the highest political authority in the State, to wit, the State Central Committee, was the only power that could decide contests for the nomina tion for that office. 1L That the City Committee was a local com mittee, whose jurisdiction extended only to city aud county officers. III. That the State of Pennsylvania was divided Into twenty-four Congressional districts, and that, with the exception of the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth, Ninth, and Twenty-second, the dis tricts were composed of a combination of counties, 5 consisting of a combination of 2 counties, 8 of 3, 3 of 4, 5 of 0, and 1 of 8. IV. That in the Fifth Congressional District, con sisting of the Twenty-second, Twenty-third, and Twenty-fifth wards of the city of Philadelphia and Bucks county, no provision in the rules was made for the election of delegates in the city wards so long as they should be connected with Bucks county In the formation of a Congressional district. See section II, rule 5. V. That if a dispute should arise In any of those districts no one County Committee could decide, but the whole matter in dispute would have to be re ferred to the State Central Committee. VI. That if the State Central Committee had jurisdiction in one case, they had it in all. I also, in the presence of Mr. O'Neill and the com mlttee, stated that I would do anything to settle the dispute harmoniously and quietly, as there were already sufficient dissatisfaction and strife In the ranks of our party, and offered the following propo sitions, to wit: I. To appear with Mr. O'Neill before the State Cen tral Committee, submit the facts, and abide by its decision. II. To refer the matter to a committee of six, Mr. O'Neill to select three and myself three, none of whom should hold office under either City, State, or General Government, That the committee should be sworn in our presence, then submit the evidence, and abide by the decision of a majority. If the committee should be evenly divided, allow them to select a seventh, whose decision should be final, and from which there should be no appeal. III. To go before the people, hold a new delegate election, have the lnstde officers sworn in our pre sence, and then go into convention. IV. To reconvene the convention, and if possible mutually agree upon a chairman of the temporary organization and a Committee on Credentials. If not, to allow the City Executive Committee to detail one of their number to effect a temporary organization, and also to appoint the Committee on Credentials. That whoever should receive a ma Jorlty of the votes should be the recognized nominee. I pledged royse f that if under any of the above propositions Mr. O'Neill should be the favored one. I would support him with my whole strength and induce my mends to do likewise. Mr. O'Neill rejected all of the above propositions, and would listen to nothing except the sub-committee of the City Executive Committee, consisting, as I nave before shown, of three Assistant Assessors of Revenue, two of whom were his delegates, and the remaining two directly in his Interests. I then requested the committee to postpone the cosslderatlon of the case until the question of Juris diction could be laid before the State Central Com. mlttee, which would convene at Altoona in a few days; promising that if the State Committee should overrule my plea of Jurisdiction, to submit to the decision of the City Committee. Mr. O'Neill and I then left the room, and the committee, without no tifying rae as to whether or not they would admit or overrule my plea of want of jurisdiction, ami without examining a u-Unite, with the exemption of j. King, on of the O'Scill action, tpo'Uxl ip favo. of jf . O'XeilL This was on Saturday, August 13. On Tuesday, August 16, the State Central Com mittee met at Altoona. I appeared before them, and notiOed them of the trouble in the Second district, and asked to be heard. After a lengthy debate the commfttee refused to bear me on account of the absence of Mr. O'Nel L It was, however, decided that they (the State Central Com mittee) had absolute Jurisdiction over disputes arising In all the Congressional districts, and re ferred the dispute in the Becond to their Executive Committee, consisting of Mesrrs. Leeds, chairman, Tlttermary, Miller, aud Elliott, of Philadelphia; Mackay, of Allegheny ; Scranton, of Luzerne, and tiarreuon of Schuylkill. This committee was an nounced by the secretary, who read from his minutes, and acquiesced in by the chairman, Mr. John Covode. Subsequently the Executive Committee met In J'tLadeipkia on te ittr.li el Aug-iatidSaj.iem!tr SPECIAL NOTICES. 2 and 0. Mr. O'Neill received notice to appear before said committee, but failed to do so. I ap peared at each meeting with my papers, creden tial, and witnesses, some sixty in number. No quo rum could be obtained antll the meeting held September 0. The committee, without hearing any evidence, although the resolution agreed upon by the State Committee directed "that both parties be afforded an opportunity to be heard before said com mittee," adopted a set of resolutions ordering the reconvening of the convention, and selected one of their number, Charles A. Miller, to act as tempo rary chairman and also a committee on contested scats. After the adoption b? the Executive Committee of the resolution reconvening the convention, I pro posed to Mr. O'Neill to acquiesce in the decision and meet in the convention with his delegates, pledg ing myself that li he should receive the nomination I would heartily endorse and support him. This. he positively refused to do. In compliance with the decision of the State Exe cutive Committee, the convention reassembled on Tuesday, September 13, when I received the nomi nation a second lime, having received 44 out of 63 votes. In the meantime, fearing that the State Executive Committee was not wholly in Mr. O'Neill's Interests, lntluence had been brougtit to bear upon Mr. Covo'le te repudiate the Executive Committee and appoint ono which was wholly at the service of Mr. O'Neill. Through the trickery, duplicity, ami treachery of boneBt (?) John Covode this was done, and a com mittee, consisting of Mahlon H. Dickinson (Chief Commie stoner of Highways), Chairman, John E. Addicks (Health Officer), William R Leeds (Collec tor of Internal Revenue, Second district, and nominee for Sheriff), Pennypacker, of Chester, Horatio Gates Jones, Garrettson of Schuylkill, and Ewlngs of Allegheny. This committee, acting as it did without authority, and in direct disobedience of the resolution agreed upon at Altoona, and without even notifying me, or attempting to give me an opportunity of being heard before them, adopted a resolution declaring that they had no jurisdiction in the matter. These are tile facts or the case, and it I had been permitted to have the evidence heard by either com mittee could have shown conclusively: I. That Mr. O'Neill is not the nominee, that he never received the nomination, hie delcgalet haoiuj bolted from the Convention. II. That a majority of the delegates were against him, 46 out of cs. III. That there has never been a contest for a Congressional nomination in any district in the State where there have been such outrageous and stupendous frauds committed upon the people as there have in this. IV. That on the part of Mr. O'Neill some of these frauds are as follows: 1. Failure to comply with the rules relative to registering voters. 2. Striking legal voters from the registry, because in opposition to Mr. ON till. 8. That seven of his delegates were inside officers at .the delegate election, judges of their own elec tion. 4. Bribery of election officers by money and Gov ernment appointments. C. Stuffing of ballot boxes. 6. Destruction of ballot boxes where the vote was against Mr. O'Neill, by a mob organized for that purpose. T. Voting of men under the nameB of voters known to be deceased. 8. Voting known Democrats. 9. Voting on names of the removals from di visions. 10. Voting men from the Second, Third, and Fourth wards and residents of other cities. 11. Control and manipulation of the City Execu tive Committee by Mr. O'Neill, by showing among other things that Mr. O'Neill, upon several occasions, asserted "that he was all right he had fixed the City Executive Committee, and that Crecly would only have five votes in said committee." The question to be determined Is, Are party rules to be binding or not ? Is it worth while for a man to exert himself to procure a nomination for office, and after having done so honorably, to have his nomination set aside by the City Executive Com mittee because a majority of said committee favor Borne other man ? Mr. O'Neill is not the nominee of the people of the Second district. He is the nominee of the City Executive Committee a committee which should be for the good of the whole Republican party, but which, as at present constituted, is a partisan com mittee in the interests of, and controlled by, United States Government officials. The real secret of the opposition to my nomina tion is simply this: In the convention Mr. O'Neill did not have a delegate who did not bold office under the General Government, and which be had been instrumental In procuring. These men having failed to secure bis nomination, it is now "rule or ruin." So long as they are holding position and draining the United States Treasury they are strict party men, but the moment they have to give place to others they become disorganizes The 11th of October will decide whether or not Mr. O'Neill, who, notwithstanding the printing of bis name upon the ticket by the City Executive Com. mlttee, Is running as an Independent candidate, can be elected in opposition to the choice of the people. I further desire to state that, willing to make any sacrifice of my personal Interests for the benefit of my party, I have repeatedly offered to withdraw, provided Mr. O'NeHl would do the same, and take up a new man. This be has steadily refused. As to my position and views upon the leading questions of the day, I am strongly In favor of pro tection to American industry no man can properlv represent any portion of tne State of Pennsylvania who Is not; inflexibly opposed to the Importation of coolie labor in any form, deeming it degrading to the intell)gent,educated worklngmen of the country, and In opposition to the principles of our republi can institutions, and pledge myself that If elected will do all in my power to secure such legislation as wld effectually prevent coolie lmpor tatlon. I am opposed to the granting of the public lands for merely speculative purposes. The future welfare of onr country demands their reservation for the benefit of actual settlers. And, finally, am as sound upon, and as true to, all Republican prin clples, as any man in the Republican party. I remain, very respectfully, JOHS V. CREKLY.
