I MO VOL. 16 The Lessons of the Past All, republics that ever existed and perished since the Creator said, "Let there be light," have perished through their own folly in allowing their rulers to infringe upon the rights of the peo ple by making innovations upon the fundamental law of the land. Sparta, Athens, Carthage, Rome and France, all of whom were at one ,time model republics, fell from their high estate through the designing intrigues of their rulers, aided by the apathy and indifference of the people. Slowly at first, but surely, their liberties were undermined by the gnawing worms of despotic power, until filially the grand trunk of their constitutions fell with a crash to the ground. The people woke up to find themselves in tie hands of their tyrants, and the last vestige'of civil liberty departed forever. Their freedom wits as a story that is told, and henceforth they were content to sit at. the feet of their despoilers. As was done in the past, so is now being done iii ()mown Itepublie. For getful of the lessons of history, we are repeating the lollies of our predeces sore. First, with a caution that hilted us into security, and then with a bold, netts that has overawed us by its very audacity, our rulers have infringed upon our constitutional rights, and ta ken away our privileges as freemen, until now we are a republic only in name, Our constitution has been shorn of its protecting power, and laws have been placed upon the statute book in direct violation of its provis ions. To-day there is no law that can keep us out of prisons and dungeons in opposition to the will of our tyrant. The grand old habeas corpus is held in abeyance, subject to total suspension at a nod from Uzrssas the Emperor. Governors, Legislatures and Courte are now but the creatures of his will, and as they value their positions and per sonal hberty,must bow :n obedience to his decrees. Surely,the fate of Sparta, Athens, Carthage and Rome will he our fate, unless we be saved at the lain moment by a miraculous interposition of Providence, or, what would be more astonishing still—the unanimous up rising of the people for the restoration of their usurped and departed liberties. There may yet be those among us who are comforting themselves with the Siren's song of peace, and who are unwilling to bestir thethselves for their country's good. Such people may cry "peace I peace I but there is no peace." In the words of the name glorious old patriot, they are in a like position to those satisfied and indiffer ent men of the revolutionary period who were characterized by the orator as "lying supinely upon their backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, while the enemy were binding them hand and foot." And such is the condition of the American people to-day. Their freedom is but a name, and, by their apathy and ignoble con tentnient, they are forging their own chains. Oh, when %ill the once inde pendent freeing, 01 ibis country see their danger and rush to the rescue 7 Can it be possible that we, too, are to share the fate of all the republics that have preceded us? "God forbid I" —Since his appointment as col. lector of Philadelphia, Joey W.

Lee as a man and as a soldier, as his most ardent friends in the South, and while we believe him to have been both a great and good man, we confess we are sorry to see hint championed and defended by such a contemptible hypocrite as this man Milo. Only a few years ago, this same fellow was the pastor of the ' Methodist church in this p'ace, anti one of the meanest Radicals in the whole country. While here he had the reputation of being an "eloquent" man, and we believe he did possess a certain gift of gab. At least the Radi cal managers must have thought so, for they hired him to stump the coun ty for the negro ticket. Under thisar rangement, the Rev. W. W. If ICK3 de livered several speeches, in his usual spread eagle style, in behalf of Radi calism, and jsi bitter condemnation of the South and of the very man whom he now professes to champion. We noticed his conduct in our papeillrat' the time, giving our opinion of him in very plain words, and we have a die tinct recollection of the scandal which his unchristian course brought upon the flock of which he assumed to be the shepherd. Ile was an egotistical, pharisaical puppy, awl, like the cham eleon, time color of everything he crawled on. Before he.mleft here lie was universally despised, even by the very people who at first were the loud eat in hie praise. We warn our Southern brethern to beware of this wolf in sheep's clothing. As the Commerria/ save, it is a won der that the bones of Gen. Lax, great hearted and noble as he was, do not "stir in their grave at the eulogy of the hideous hypocrite." lie is riot worthy to speak the great chieftain's name, and could the latter but rise from his grave, the villian would be blasted by a look. We tell the Southern people to beware oi this Reverend laudator of the "Lost Cause." lie is essentially a Judas, and will betray them when ever he finds that it will be to his ad vantage to do so. lie lelt here a bit ter Radical, and the next we heard of him he was just as bitter a 9em6cret. Such a man isn't to be trusted, and es pecially ono who will prostitute the sa cred calling of a minister of the Gos pel, as he has done. The country is full of each fello as this man HICKS, and the soo they are discountenanced and kicked into obscurity, the better it will be for the people. —On Saturday last the Senate passed the Lien Law for the laboring lumbermen of this county, also the act requiring poor taxes to he paid upon unseated lands in Snow Shoe, Burn. side, Worth and Taylor townships, and the hill authorizing the school di rectoiv of Bellefonte to borrow money to pay previous loans.

The farmer, the mechanic, the day laborei, and all who earn their bread in the sweat of their r faces, will be able to appreciate the following ballad in regard 10 the state of the nines, under Radical rule. In former days when the finances of the Country were under Democratic control, bongs were ot her wi.e; but now thr rule is the highest prices for the poorest goods.

Last Saturday night, we see, lie addressed a meeting of the workingmen in the Court House, at Ilarrisburg, in which address he took strong grounds alienist a high protective tariff. This is cer tainly turning the cold shoulder to the party that elected him, but Oai RV don't care for that Ile knows that that party can never again succeed in Pennsylvania, and hence wants to get rid of it. Ile is now using the work_ ingmen's organization as a, plank to help him across the gulf that yawns between Democracy and Radicalism, hoping to be again received with open arms by the former party. But we tell his excellency that he must cleanse himself thoroughly from all the stains with which his Radical associations have bedaubed him, ere our glorious old party will consent to forgive and forget the wickedness of his past course. Ile must riot expect, either, to at once become a leader among us, butt must first prove by yearn of devo ted service in the ranks, that his re pentance is genuine and complete. Then, we may perhaps give him some thing to do that will be more honora hie than the wretched business of his later 'ears. —Senator Petals's, of this dis trict, has introduced a bill prohibiting the changing of text books in our schools oftener than once in three years. The Senator, in doing this, has done just whSt the people would have told him to do, had they been consulted in the matter. The frequent changing of our school books by every new teacher who conies around, or by every new board of directors, has be come an intolerable nuisance, and a very considerable drain upon the purees of poor mien who have as much as they can do to keep their families in clothing and food. Besides, there is no sense ih it. It a set of school books are valuable this year, they will be valuable next year, and for years to come.

Yeare may pass over her head, but if benevolence and virtue dwell in her heart, she is as cheerful ac when the spring of life first opened to her view.
