Fortney, Esq The Democratic County Convention, we think, by its choice of the abovc :lamed gentleman for the chairman ship of the County Convention, tuani• tested a wise discrimination that is not alwa% a found in like political bodies. Mr. FORTNEV 19 one of the hardest world ng and 111051 acti‘ e ; young Democrata in the State, and his in stallation into the chairmanship of the Committee will be likely to re,i% and awaken the energies of the whole party. Not that Chairman STITZER has not ionic a capable and vigilant officer, for he has done his whole duty —and done it. too, in such a way As to merit the commendation and gratitude of the party generally ; but there is a restlessness and vim about FORTNEY that is sure to stir up e% cry deadened feeling, and bring out the fuU enthu- Slll4lll of the Democracy. In the resent crisis, we need jnet Snell a man at the helm. We are on the eve of one of the roost important presidential elections that ever took place in this country, the preparatory steps to which are the elections to be held dos Calk— /is goes the contest in r next, so will go the State in I sT.f. Hence, it is fortunate that we have so live and talented in man at the head of our or. ganization u 1 Centre Pourity. If, tin der m tnagement of the campaign, we do not inerease our majority this fall, it will be at wonder. To Chair man FORT•O'r, the Democracy now look for big results. J. G.

The Protective Tariff. The high protective tariff people have received • blow from New Eng land. It comes in the shape of • protest signed by several hundreds of the boot and shoe manutactnrere. The most important tarts stated in this tremendous petition are the following : •The combined taxes upon all the %melee forming the materials of our industry yield the (lovernment a revs. nue of only $3,500,00(1, while they impose upon the mann factories of boots and shoes A tax of 515,000,000, which must eventuslly be peal by the wearer: , (hose necessary articles. 'lle direct conseptend(e of these protective taxes is such an y increase rn the cost of our products as prevents our competing with the manufacturers of boots and shoes in other conutrics. Of late years there has been an increase of twenty•five per cent. in the proluc tive power of a given amount of capi• tal and labor engaged in our manu factures through improved and new pro cesses. This gain, which should have resulted irtcheam boots and shoes, has been completely nullified by pro tective taxes. The legislation of our own country has dri..:fn our products from the markets of Canada, Mexico, t he West Indies, and South America, which we had enjoyed for more than a century/ It has transf--end the man ufaeuufe of our products to a great de gree to Canada, where it enjoys greater advantages, and is subject to fewer im pediments in the prosecution of bitsi assn ' Th us, our country has to this extent lost the benefits of this industry all giving her w ealth to otheryhrough a system of tariff' taxation, professed ly framed to foster arid encourage American industry,'but which expels it from America and increases the wealth of other nations.' "NEI% DEPARTURE."—The Demo rratir Era, published at East Portland, Oregon, discusses the 'new departure' with considerable vino, and thinks that a 'new deal' would touch' better express the idea. The conclusion at which the Era finally arrives is, that we do not need a 'new departure.' It says: 'Our party here suspect the motives of people who are always making new departures and hatching new schemes, to secure electoral triumphs. What they need is a new departure in morals rather than in politico. We want an honest and constitutional Governmeuit, Federal, State and Municipal; we want a more respectable Class oh men than those who have of late been brought forward by both parties, We are tired of the old party hacks, the speech makers, platform builders, cau cus managers. and time serving trim mers‘who have so long controlled our politics and government. We are as sick or these as we are of the class of military upstarts whd,are foisted into high civil positions. A platform em binly log the simple propositions of a return to constitutional got ernment, to honest ailininistration and the sub ordination of the military to the civil power, is all we want in that line. What is more important than all plat forms, but cannot be secured through any of them, is the nurninatton and elm lion of live and new men, free from the taint of the recent corruptions and rieltimh scheming of the old par ties. If Ohio, or New York, or Penn sylvania, have any of this new and resin stock, let them bring them out, and let the veteran organizers of de feat retire In pun such laurels as they have already won, arid snuff the ap pronebing battles, like Job's horses, af.tr off" --We rail. r Ilse Pro Bono Pub.

Do not put any faith in then, and do not trust them. In retreat they arc treacherous and often fatal.—Louisville Commercial, Radi cal. --Simon Cameron's journeymen 'wiggle-wagger,' who heads the Radi cal Committee of this State, in his late spumy address, claims that the Radical party have reduced the State debt from $10,000,000, in 1860 to $26,000,000 in 1871. The Harrisburg Patriot proper ly remarks, that, 'no credit attaches to that party for its reduction, inasmuch as the policy under which it has been accomplished was originated by the Democratic administration of (lover nor William I". Packer. The act es tablishing the Sinking Fund was a Democratic measure, ad was adopted by a Democratic Legre ture. Had the Radical party administered that law honestly and faithfully, indeed, had it not deliberately violated its provisions, the State debt, instead of being $26,000, 000, would to-day be less than half that sum. During the last eleven years, from fifteen to twenty millions of dol• Imre have been taken from the Sinking Fund, contrary to law, and applied, not to the redaction of the State debt, but to the payment of the current ex• perinea of the State government.' These facts puncture the wind-bag of Mr. Errett, and it fallit to the ground to be troden under foot by all honest, fair men. When ever a statement is put forth showing that the Radicals have reduced debt or taxation, it is either a clear fraud or an artifully man ufactured piece of account keeping.

Mrs. Parkinson called t r Bev . eral times during the dar and evening to come down and take something to eat, but she declined. About 9 o'clock last evening Mrs. Parkinson took Borne supper to her room, and tried hard to induce her to eat, but she still declined, saying she would perhaps feel better in the morning. Mrs. Par'kinson then left her. her brother, Mr. Maurice Shanks, who is a conductor on the street cars, arrived honie about 11„ ig o'clock I'.

The family strove to keep the contents oldie letter from being known to Laura, fearing that she would take her disappointment too much to heart. Allston came to the city about the 21st of July, and remained here until last Saturday, during which time he visited her frequently, arid, as far as was known, they were eon very good terms until Saturday, and from the fact that alter that 'fay the engage') et.t ring was not 'ice') on her finger, it is believed that they had a difference, and the engagement wee A her'lle left she seemed to lose all n:• acre-t in the affairs of this world, and rshised up h) the hour of her death, all food or nourishment.
