That it is i.miesary to T anything
concttfiiii'g the '.iwt.nry of thin movement
before constitutional reform h-w become a
fixed fact, mny neein unusual to none unler
whoBO olt tvhi inn tbeee hoen may fall: but
to those w l:o lime been ilusnly witching all
tliat has been -iiI and written co.iceiniug
it iii the i.u'.lio journals, it will
not neoin strange or oat ol pUjit.
In ell Lnnmn uobability a Uotistitulioaal
Contention in s sure to wiiub as Heed t ime
and harvest, Rti.i muco it is nssured, and so
heartily encouraged by the people through
out the whole State, in a word, since it is
popular with the inascs and they dimmd it,
the number claiming the credit of originating
and initittiug the movement is as great as
the grand arojy of patriots who first nomi
nated General Grant for the l'rosideuoy; and,
as a rule, they are just about ai niaoU enti
tled to tie honor.
The Constitutional Reform movement be
gan in Jauusry, 18G", immediately after the
election of hmmu Cameron to the United
Slates Senate, and the first article which
called attention to the subject appeared in
the Franklin tjoaitury of the :5d of that
month. It came from the hands of Col. A.
K. llcCInie, than the able editor of
this journal. In justice to Mr.
McClnre, as well as for the informa
tion of the public, we republish the article as
it apjefitvd then. Since the movement
began until now, when it id tho engroasing
political tcpio ot the Stato, Colonel ivloOluro
has not ceanVd to agitate the subject, and by
his gnt.t ability an a writer and experience in
the political nil airs of the State, has done
mote to injure its suooess thin auy olhsr
man in tho State:
I.K0IMI.A1IVK liEFuBM IT MT8T BK FUNDAMENTAL.
The people can no longer clots their eyes to the
tact that the hldroaa cancer of legislative oorrup
thui hns spread I's loatsome pollution ever tlie
entire bodv politic In Pennsylvania; awl iaditrtrence
must hetiut-rnrili be crlmlual. For year venality
has been trsuchltif tueir in the citadel or delegated
rower, hteaiii'y growing and widening its raiaidca
noun, until Its uiotistriius sweep has drawn a Legis
lature Into lis seething whirlpool, npa Uie vary
threshold of ita (ilTl(Ul labors, and bartered the
choicest fjltt and the wicst responsible truit tlie
lota! people l.ave to confer.
Nor in this crowning wrong alone do the appli
ances and r-uits or legiHlatlve dctfradailon appear.
Around ir, in it, through all Its channels of power,
uud ail lis tributaries the monster sirs enthroned
supreme. So clamorous were Its shameless votaries
lor plui ikr. tliat tlie important committees of the
popular nrunch, which control vital and profitable
interest?, had lo be divided and subdivided, and
even linn the number almost doubled to swell the
chances for Ill-gotten pr..Uts; and tho subordinates
of ilie to branches have been increaied to glut
Insatiate pppentes until they number wlth'a oae
fourth of the w hole Legislature. Sjus, fa'.hora, and
other relation ot ltgltlators crod around itiu idle
ness, ai d profligacy arid veiulity ruin while tiie peo
ple have treachery and taxation as thbir reward.
Reform the 1 egisiaturc by the election of upright
men," respond all who, with the nn'ectj.ttoa of in
ifginy, vi M corruption to malntuiu its ssray. We
aiisaer it cctiuot be done. It has been tried, time
and again, aud it has slgualty failed. Wo have s.-en,
and sti". cd In. leform Legislatures, and tlie only
perciptit.l mrl'ereuce was the increased license to
ilel.aoclu ry atsumed by the reformers because of
their suppesed standing at home. It is Idle to at
tempt rearm by any such process. Rut few who
have the stern lutcgiity forsitcltau ell'.rt will un
dertake the thankless ta."k, and supple reformers,
who are demoisllzed by the very hope of contact
Willi peculation, are ever ready to proclaim their
own viriuds to the people, aud bet-ay theui by a
double fraud.
There is one simple, prattles!, effectual remedy;
and if the people move In earnest they cau enfoiv.e
it. The reiorm niut be radical it must be funda
mental. A Constitutional Convention, and that
only, can reault the terrible diaea-e, and it is attain
able at auy time the Legislature shall submit the
iiucMion i f a Convention to popu'ar decision. It
should be demanded by petition, by delegations, by
mass nir.t tiEgA, by the manly utterances of aa un
shackled ire. nntll evaa the corrrtntiontst them
selves shall bow to the thunder of their roasters.
iet them demand a Convention to Incorporate In
their organic law provisions substantially as fol
lows: 1. That the Senate shall consist of one hundred
mew be is, to be chosen by single districts.
2. That the House of lieprescntativeg shall con
sist of four huuured members, each to bee'ected in
a single district.
3. That all legislation relating to corporation In
terest shall be by general laws, and that uo special
charter or corporate privileges whatever shall be
granted but by the courts.
4. That there shall be no special appropriation of
money from the treasury to claims except upon a
judicial finding.
5. Taat the members of the Legislature shall be
paid Ave dollars per day for the period of sixty days ;
and be prohibited from appropriating te themselves
any additional sums for protracted sessions, or for
extra or adjourned sessions beyond sixty days in
the ear.
6. That no subordinate oftlcers shall be appointed
in either branch, or receive any compensation for
services, unless a bill shall have been passed by
both branches creating the onice and defining Its
duties.
7. That no bill shall pass either branolt without
receiving a majority of thewholevole on a call of
the yeas and najs.
"It would be most expensive reform,' answer the
quibbleis who, unwilling to meet the issue squarely,
ihU to delay lue day ol the efftctual reckoning of
the people. We answer that it would be vastly eco
nomical. The whole cost of a Legislature consist
lug of live hundred members and the necessary oiti
cets, under the foregoing provisions, would noi bs
as much as our present Legislature cos. with but
oue hundred and thirty-three members, and there
would be the Incalculable advantage of the arrest or
the pro ill gate appropriation ot money for any and
every purpose that will pay the lobby; and in ad
dition to the advantages ot saving the public
treasure, il would secure honest legislators for two
reasons:
1. Jt would place the Legislature beyond the coa
trol of the lobbyists becauss ol its; numbers; aad
wou:4 arrest the -mating" through or bills in a
slim house and without a record of each man's
vote. In a rew or the New Eugiaad States eaett
town (corresponding te our townships) sends a mem
ber of the Legislature. Thus the popular branch of
the Massachusetts Legislature numbers several
hundred, although the State has not hair our popu
lation, nor a tithe or our commercial, mineral, or
aurtcultural inaeresls to fostar or care for. la such
reulalaturra corrantlon la unkuon n. The body la
too targs for the lebby to control, aad it d.)tl not
biot the history or that state aa it does In our
mighty toiumouweaith, still mighty In ipite of the
vampjrres who fatten upon Ur lu the asms of
uardlaua.
. It would brlag the representative into Imme
diate relations with, and direct nwpouaibtilty to, his
cooauiaeuts. If Fraukiiu couniy elected loar re
presentativea Instead ot half of two, each diacrlct
would be composed of several townships, and tlie
ptople would liaf personal knowledge of the
nian they elect, and aa could not err in ascer
taining their wishes upon ant question, lie could
not Dlead. as do fjtthlesa men now, titat some
ltteresis in a remote part of ills district de
manded his betrayal or ottter itUTt-, and thus
c'.oak Ida ah a me. There would be direct aid

THE DISCOliDS OF TIIF. UErUBLIOAN
rAHTV.
f'rw the X. T. Herald.
In tt recent conversation in the White
Home with Senator Wilson, as it appears,
Gtnernl Grant, in reference to tho late lec
tions, naid that, although disappointed with
tome Stxtes, he thought that these elections,
upon the whole, had resulted satisfactorily to
the llcpublicana; tbnt ho did not. think tUere
was anjthing in them to cause alarm for tho
fntnrc; that the people could not be sunje-sH-fully
drawn aside from tho maintenince of
tie gTtat principles of the liepublic-tn
pRity; that what the people want, in hU
opiiiioti, ia the payment of the public debt,
the reduction of expenditures, the reduction
of taxes and an economical administration of
the Government. Furthermore, it is the
opinion of the President that "the party that
refnges to be drawn away by side issues and
that pntmes the policy ht re indicated will
elect its candidate in 187:2."
These views of General Grant (for we hv
so doubt they are his viows) are entitled to
the resptctfni ffonaideratiou which herein we
propose to give them. His platform the
payment of tho debt, tho redaction of expen
ditures, the reduction of taxes, and economi
cal administration isgood and bound. It has,
ton, bo far served theltepnblicaa party ia this
year's elections as to secure for tueui a good
vfcikiDg majority in the popular branch of
the next CoDgress, which, with thj Senate
overwhelmingly ou the same side, settles the
two houses to the next Presidential election.
So far the coast is clear; but when Geueral
Grant Hays that the people caunot be success
fully drawn aside from the maintenanca of
the great principles of the llepublican pirty
he evidently means something more than the
principles of economy, retrenchment, and re
form. He doubtless means the great priaci
pies applied in the reconstruction of the lata
ltebel States and embodied in the new amend
ments to the National Constitution, including
the abolition of slavery, the establishment of
equal civil and political tights to all men, as
citizens, of all races and colors, and the power
given lo Congress to enforce these great prin
ciples "by appropriate legislation" over every
foot of land and water within the jurisdiction
of the United States. Those arc the great
principles, we suppose, to which General
Grant refers as insuring the continued ascend
ancy of the llepublican party. He is right,
too, in this opinion, if it is certain that the
Democratic party intends to continue the
fight against the Republican measures of
Southern reconstruction bo nearly oompleted
and reduced to practice by General Grant
himself since his call to the head of the Gov
erLment. The overwhelming success of the General
in the Presidential contest of 18b'3 was largely
due to the auicidal resolution adopted by the
Democratic Tammany Seymour Convention
on the motion of Wade Hamptou, fresh from
the liebel army, declaring the reconstruction
measures of Congress "unconstitutional, revo
lutionary, null and vni;?." This cutthroat
resolution, with Frank lllair's supporting let
ter, in its very announcement defeated Soy
riiouB and enabled the Republicans not to
walk but to canter over the course. We have
had no Democratic stupidity of this sort,
however, bince the proclamation of the
lilUcnth amendment. In Delaware, Mary
land, and Kentucky they still tight "tho
d d nigger;" bnt even in those States they
fight him as a "fixed fact" at the polls. Upon
this bupreme test, then, the Democratic party
accepts the situation in the Constitution as it
is, with the civil and political equality of all
men as citixens white men, yello men, red
men, niggers and all,
Thus the great principles suggested by
General Grant ore among the dead issues of
the past. The Democrats fought them btep
by step "to the last ditch;" bat iu the last
ditch tliey have given up the battle, and the
almighty nisger is all right, iho Repub
lican party, therefore, have only the Presi
dent's platform of economy, retrenchment of
expenses, reduction of taxes, and payment of
the debt to stand upon; ana tuese movable
planks in some cases have been placed so
wide apart that many of tna weak: bretnrea
are falling through between them. For in
stance, here we have the Tribune, a Re
publican organ, which insists that payment
of the debt means a protective tarin; and
here we have the Evening Post, another
Republican organ, which is ready to
fight till it rains cats and dogs, and ready,
still, to light in the rain, for the doguxt tht
the reduction of taxes means free trade. At
Chicsoo they have also a 'Iribune, hitherto a
rampant radical Republican, which is so hot
lu the cause tnat it proposes a ne w party on
the platform of free trade; and all through
the great Northwest, where their products
ore wheat, corn, porlr, nna neei, tuey would,
Eerhsps, agree to a tax upon the "bloated
ondholders"of the East if they could thereby
C et free trade in iron and woollen goods, i he
President, it appears, is glad that in coming
out for a new party, after supporting John
vYontworth, an outsider, for Congress, tne
Chicago Tribune is sailing under its true
colors as an enemy to the Republican party.
W suspect, iiext.that General Cox a free-trade
notions are at the bottom of his retirement
from the Cabinet, because, as it appears, the
Pennsylvania protectionists, headed by Sena
tor Cameron, made a dead set on Cox to get
him out. Again, while the Evening Font is
doing battle for Cox and against the Presi
dent on the licGarrahan claim, we suspect
that free trade is really the secret of the
tott't admiration of Cox, and of its detesta
tion of McGarrahan, and of ita hostility to
the President's sensible course upon this
McGarrahan claim.
We eite these eases of Republican discards
as affording each an explanation of some of
these late Democratio victories. In this
State again the remilta bhow that in tho Uts
election Senator Fenton's influence in "the
rural districts" was not given to Woodford,
and all because the gentle and genial Thomas
Murphy was made collector of this port.
Fenton, in fact, over Murphy had a crow to
pick with the Presideut; and so during oar
recent canvass, as a hint t j his followers, he
wtnt out to California; and came back well
pleased, no doubt, to find Hoffman re
elected. Some pork of a poor quality will
shrink this way in the loilin. Gratz
Brow n and Carl bchurz in Missouri, although
rad out of the party as bolters by
tLe President himself, have, witU
the aid of the Democrat (including a free
trade plank) caiiied Missouri by thirly thou
sand majority; and ia this a small mttar?
Nut look at Tennessee, where last year a Kv
puMieaa bolter osrried over tho 8tate hat,
coat, boots, and breeches to the Demoaraoy.
This year the Democrats have it so over
whelmingly that they count it fixed for 1872.
I5y Republican dissensions, too, North Caro
lina has been turned over to the Demo
crats; and here and there in different States
Republican bushwhackers have switupod
qnite a number of tho regular prty candi
dates for Congress.
These Republican disoords end fotids, arvi
splits and defeats, are easily explained. The
"great principles" which have held the party
so compactly together during tlie last ten
yrars (this year excepted) are all settled, and,
Lavirg nothing else to fight over, the ambi
tious loaders and greedy spoil-tmeu of the
poity are fihtiog the administration an I
each other over bach issues as free trade an 1
the spoils. And wo can tell General Grant
that these are lied symptoms in his narlv;
that tho old Democratic patty bag ta to g, to
pieces just in this fashion, even before it had
run negro fdavery into the ground as "a
divine institution." Bat is not General
Grant, with his new platform of eci mony,
retrenchment and so forth, doing very well ?
Yes; bnt there is nothibg in it to fi zht abauf,
and so the restless spirits of the party are
goicg eft upon side issues. S it is that
Governor Hoffman, in the eyes of his frien Is,
begins to look already like tho next Presi
dent, and walks the earth with the confident
air of the Crown Prince of Prussia. And
why not, when he, or any other man, nnder
tho broad, expansive ensiga of Tamman
Hall, has suoh a fair prospect before him?
Lastly, General Grant must do something
in Lis annual meFsage to Congress in Deoeui
her to wake np, inspire, and harmouio his
party, or before the end of the approaching
bhort session he may find it a labor of Her
cules to get is clashing leaders, cliques, and
factions again togetner. For this some new
idea is wanted. The negro question is used
np. Even women's rights, a3 a living issue,
will be better for 1872 than the deal issue of
negroes' rights.
