For the first time at a general elec

on the Gth instant. As was expected
they went solid fbr the Radical candi
date for flowernor, but both they and
their white allies of the Radical party
were most signally and overwhelming

in the State will reach' at least 30,000,

for the legislature are elected. The

large masses, were riotous and unruly,

Another Republican Ticket In the
Field
Harmony in the'ranks of a political
party is a nice thing, but our radical
friends know little about it. Up to
Wednesday last they were able to
smother up the dioiatisfaction caused
by the complete success of the Onisa-
ON clique, in the nomination of STAN
TON arid BEATH, but at that time it
broke out in a new State Convention,
and to day we have two radical State
tickkle in the field. On Wednesday
last a convention of radical politicians
met in Harrisburg and nominated for
Auditor General, BARR SPANOLICR, of
Lancaster county, and for Surveyor
General, K A. WURILLIR, of Mercer
county. These men run in direct op
position to the former nominees of that
party, and although running as "cold
water " candidates, or temperance men,
they are both Radicals of the most
malignant character, and will no doubt
take a very large vote from the men
nominated at the former Radical State
Convention. Under the circumstances,
what is to hinder the complete success
of the Democratic ticket this tall?
Never before were our prospects more
promising. Never again, perhaps, will
an opportunity offer for as grand a
triumph of our party and its principles.
We have only to maintain harmony
in the ranks of our local orfanitations,
to work together like brot sirs, and a
most glorious victory will crown our
efforts. 1

The Papal Succession
The agitation at this early day, at
Rome, by the Italian Cardinals, of the
question of the Papal 9uccitimon, seems
likely to produce one i mportant result
which might have been anticipated by
the prelates. The Car linals, actuated
probably by a desire to secure, in ac
cordance with tutiotn, the election of
all Italian, hate indicated that Cardi
nal Pietro will be the regular nominee.
The rumor to this effect ba,, been lob
lowed by a report that the German Gov
ernment will interfere decisively to pre
vent the final nomination of a success
or to the present Pope before his death
and in advance of the arrival of the
German Cardinals. There is such a
color of probability to this story tl a' it
may readily he acepeted as a truthful
indication of the actual policy of the
German Government in this matter.
In the past France, Spain and Austria
have exercised a very large influence
in the election of the Popes, and their
right to partial inteference was recog
'wed and sulAtited to by the College of
Cardinal,.
It is worthy of remark, while referr
tug to this subject, that in all the die
cuetoons of the question of the sueces•
own the name of (4trilinal Lucien Bon
aparte is no longer mentioned. It was
Napoleon's high ambition to have a
Bonaparte seated in the chair of St.
Peter,and this represent ttive of the funi
ly was placed at Rome and advanced
rapidly by French influence simply
that he might win this great honor.
It is not likely that the agitation of
this question of the succession is
altogether premature. PITO Pius is an
oldman,but be is yet in vigorous health,
and he has I% chance of lising for 'natty
long years to come. In the meantime,
no nomination of a successor ran be
considered as by any means final

builders, to learn their calling. He re

became a Skillful workman to every
branch of the trade. lie so conducted
himself that at the expiration of his
time they gave him a certificate of first•

his employers that the Messrs Norris
selected him to take charge of and de

road a number of engines they had
for the company, and recommended
him to General M'Calluni (then super
intendent of that road and during the
war brigadier general in charge of mili•
Lary railways) for employment. Ho
was employed to pat these engine.' into
practical working, and during 1854 ran
all engine upon the New York and
Erie railroad, between Susquehanna,
Penna., arid Hornelsville, New York.
In 1855 he was employed by the Penn•
sylvania railroad company, and ran an
engine between Philadelphia and Har
risburg. The necessity for skilled
labor in the shops at Parkeburg caused
them to transfer him thither and he
worked at his bench in keeping engines
in order for several months. Owing
to the refusal of the company to pro

"Acceptance" and "Rejection."
Governor Hoffman, in declaring
that 'neither the acceptance nor the
rejection' of certain 'amendments' is
an issue in our campaign, proves him
self to be a man of some logic, in these
times, at least, for, if the question:of
the acceptance is made an issue, as the
'departed Democrats' have affirmed it,
the question of rion-acceptance is neces•
eerily a part of the same controversy.
But strangely enough,those who accept
seem to think that those who rsieci
have no rights in the premise*, for they
cry out, 'now you lag', impracticable,
and are going todivide the party.' fhe
assurance, nay, the intolerable impu
dence of this assumption, would be
laughable if it were riot put with so
much downright severity. And who
are the 'empty-headed wise men" who
put on such? Why, with a flew ex
captions, they are either carpet-bag
gers in the Democratic party, like the
editor of the World, or they are parties
who have always been tender-looted,
if not half way over to the opposition.
And by such 'new•oomers' or adventur
ers as these, the staunch old prop' of
the Democracy are arraigned for criti
Mom or censure f And for what? Why,
simply, because they refuse to 'depart'
from the moat sacred old-time princi•
plea of the party. Because they stand
to-day where every Democrat stood six
mouths ago in relation to these still
admitted fraudulent amendments. In
one word, because they refuse to ac
cept the very worst plank in the 'Rad•
teal' platform. If these monstrous
acts, which even the 'departcd Demo
crats' still pronounce 'frauds' and
'crimes,' have become really a part of
the organic law, apd that, confessedly,
without the consent of the States, then
there is no use of any further effort to
save our country. If the Constitution
can be changed in this way, by the
force and fraud of Congress and the
Executive, without the assent of the
'tales, then it is foolish to claim that
we have any fixed government at all,
All that fraud can do now, it can do
again, and still again, and all the time.
But we are losing all patience with
these inicompreheneible dolts who se
riously tell the people that their Con
stitution has been legally changed by
'fraud' and 'military despot.stu.' If
they are 'frauds' they are not laws
No more laws than the commands of
a bandit in the forest for you to give
up your money or your life, are laws.
You submit, but riot to laws. Even
so we submit to the 'amendments,' not
as to laws, but as to frauds, which we
cannot fur the moment resist. Now
this, according to the resolutions of
every one of the Convention which
has adopted the 'departure,' is the pre
cise attitude of this whole quelltion.
There is nothing more to be said about
it. The acts in force as 'amendments'
are no part of the Conetitution,because
they are admitted and pronounced
frauds. The Democratic Conventions
which have pronounced them 'frauds,'
or used language that implies as much,
and which have still admitted them to
be parts of the Constitution, arid legal
ly binding upon the States, have com
mitted a folly which would be disgrace
ful to school-boys. If there is no hon
or left, there ought to be a grain of
sense somewhere surviving, to save a
great party from self destruction.—N.
