terial ofor the publication of our paper,
to visit the 'townships, and to call per

We may do so hereafter;' but we re
quest you not to wait for this.

third number, and hope, by treating
all alike, that no exception will, or can,
be taken to a course that is necessary

We also hope to receive orders for the
paper from a large number of our citi
zens whose names are not yet on our
books. Gen. Theodore Gregg has
kindly consented to act for us in receiv
ing orders for subscription, advertising
and job work, and orders given him
will receive prompt attention. Adver
tisers, and others, desiring matters in
serted in the REPUBLICAN should have
then in the office on Monday of each I
week, at the latest.
THE Clinton Democrat, an excellent
paper of the kind, and edited by our
very clever friends, J. W. &W, P.
FuREY, contains the following in regard
to JoHN Scorr, Esq :
"The Pennsylvania Legislature has
" elected lion. John Scott, of Hunt
" ingdon county, United States 'Sena
" for to succeed Hon. Charles R. Buck
" alew, who retires. Mr. Scott is per
haps as unexceptionable to the De- -
" mocracy as any man, the Radicals
" could have selected. and we are de
" cidedly glad that they have given us
" a gentleman of some brains and at
" least with a reputation for honesty.
" Mr. Scott is highly spoken of by his
"party mers, and up to 1863 was an
"active Democratic Politician. Why
"is it when the Radicals want a man
" of talent they always select him. froth
"among those who have formerly been
"members of the Democratic .rarity?".
We will answer your question by
asking another. Why is it that the
menof brains, and those who possess
a "reputation fOr honesty," all desert
the Democratic party ? 'That's what's
the matter." The men of brains and
of reputation have left your party in
such numbers that there are but - few,
if any, left. You are in a hopeless mi
nority. Why? Simply because the
honest leaders, -and leaders of reputa
tion—all the Jon - N Sdons—have left
your party. Remaining with you, to
your discomfiture, and the disgrace
of your party, are the BIM:EELS, the
WooDwAnos, the CLYMERS, the VAL
LANDIGEIAMS, &c:, who were with the
rebels, in word and in action during the
rebellion. The people are loyal; so is
JOHN Scopr; and for that reason he
was elected U. S. Senator.
IF Gen. Bum - En, says the Pittsburg
Commercial, means to do the- honest
thing in our finances, he certainly is
unlucky in the impression he has made
-on the country. The almost universal
conception of his financial plan is that
it does not accord at all with the pur
pose of paying honestly what we owe,
but is repudiation, intentional and cer
tain. The New York Post frees its
mind in the following plain fashion :
" Gen. Butler has now completed
his financial scheme. He set up in
business with a proposition to pay the
Government's promises not due, in
promises already broken. He ends by
demanding that the people shall accept
as a substitute for money promises to
pay money , which are never to be re
deemed. Having no common grounds
4m which we can argue with Gen. But- -
ler, we shall not undertake to discuss
his plan. If we are to have a law au
thorizing all debtors to cheat their
oreditors, let us makeit simple. Gen.
Butler's scheme is too complicated.—
It is as -though a burglar should take
the trouble to climb np on the roof of
a house and crawl down the chimney
when the door is open."
Tam Round Table presents an inter
esting summary of the net earnings of
our gold and silver mines during 1868.
According to the table presented, the
yield for 1868 may be stated thus:
California..s2o,ooo,oooColorado $4,000,000
Nevada,,,..l
13,000,000 Wash'n....l,ooo ,ooo
M0ntarka.....1a,030,00 1 Arizona... 250,000
Idaho , 6,000,003 I X,Mosleo. 250,000
Oregon 5,000,0001
Total.,
If our financiers and lawmakers
would only devise some method where,
by one-half of this amount would be
retained in the country, insteadof ship
ping it to Europe in payment of arti
cles that we are abundantly able to
manufacture at home, the prosperity
of the country would be promoted.—
What we want is a protective tariff,
A Retrospect - and a Prospect,
When the Republican party, upon
. the violation of the old Missouri Com
promise, first began to take form and
strength from the aroused indignation
of the outraged freedom-loving North,
there were few men, at first, bold
enough to brave the contumely heaped
upon those who were stigmatized "as
Abolitionists and black Republicans.
But the true principles and time-hon
ored do - ctrines of the fathers were yet
alive in the hearts of their sons, and
amidst, and in spite of, vituperation,
prejudice and slanders, the new advo
cate of equal rights, and law and order,
of Freedom for the land, and protect
, ion for the citizen, alike and every
where, grew and strengthened, and
drew to its ranks, and rallied around
its 'banners., the active, the strong, the
intelligent, and -especially the enter
prising young men - of that part of the
nation, where speech, the press, and
opinion were free. Assailed as the dis
union party, it came to be the Union's
only organized defender, and ultimate
savior: Denounced as the foe of Sla
very, everywhere, it was compelled at
last, even against its will, to make good
the accusation, to save the nation from
dismemberment by the men who were
determined to make human bondage
universal and eternal in the land.—
I Anathematized as the legitimate sue
reessor Of 3:1 7 ..n0w Nothingism, it first ex
hibited its greatest strength by drawing
to its support the great foreign Ger
manpopulation of the vigorous North
west, and by continuing to hold them
true to its free principles, all through
its eventful history. Fighting for the
eternal principles of right, against long
instilled, carefully fostered, and per
sistently excited prejudices, with half
the land closed against its presses, and
advocates, by lawless and unscrupu
lous violence, in the face - of all, and in
spite of all, this great party went on
conquering, and to conquer. And when
its enemies despaired of defeating it be
fore the forum of the people, when
even prejudice and violence failed to
check the triumphant march of its solid
columns of thinking freemen to the
full control of the . Government, the
liberty-hating,aristocratic secessionists,
who ruled, and used the Democratic
party, throwing off their long-worn
masks, repudiatik their long-pretend
rl in flit; firmstitai firm awl thn
Union, appealed from the only lawful
authority in Republican Government,
the will of the majority, and setup the
sword as the arbiter of the future of
our country. The Republican party
were no more dismayed by the new tac
tics of its enemies, than by the old ap
peals to ignorance and prejudice, vio
lence of mobs, and proscription, and
hates of the narrow-minded and selfish.
Entrusted with their country's desti
nies, the Republicans, albeit with hesi
tation and protest against the unholy
attack made', without cause, upon all
that was sacred in our institutions, met
war with fighting, strengthened by the
true loves of their country, whom par
ty ties had, till then, held within the
ranks of the party that so fiercely be
fore had fought against their progress.
Armies marshalled by the greatest of
Generals, almost all Republicans, guid
ed by the councils of our party's great
est statesmen, cheered and sustained
by the Republicans as an organization
alone, and discouraged, opposed and
villified by the degenerate Democracy
of the North, who extended the hollow
sympathy of cowardly neutrals . to a foe
' they had not courage to take up arms
to assist, brought victory to union, to
liberty, to equal rights and equal laws.
EDITORS
Triumphing over the cowardly assas
sination of one chieftain, and despica
ble treachery of another, freed from the
company of the mercenary and corrupt
time-servers who went out from our
camp with the arch-traitor, after the
loaves and fishes of petty office, in our
next great civil contest before the high
'tribunal of this great, free people, un
der the lead of our noblest Captain, we
have won the greatest and grandest of
our victories, and scattered our enc. - -
mies, in confusion, dismay, and ut
ter defeat.
And now, with all the trophies of
our great successes about us, wail great
State, and a whole free Nation at our
disposal, what is the prospect that
opens to our party? No man now de
nies connection with it. No man dis
owns its name, or cares for the vilest
epithets its vilest foes may - heap upon
it.
i 47, With the harmony, that always at
tends real devotion to a great cause,
secured to our Councils, and everywhere
exhibiting itself ; with our glo
rious history, our genuine strength;
what may we not hope to accomplish?
We shall guide the destinies of the Na
tion for many years, we shall rescue all
the few remaining States from the
. slough of Copperheadism, and the mire
oftreason. Our county will bid a final
farewell to modern Democracy, and
join the victorious cohnin of true Re
publicanism. The peace that has come
will be fixed to stay. Texas will be
regenerated;Mississippi will be redeem
ed; Virginia will be raised again to her
ancient glory, and even Kentuckyte
disenthralled and civilized. Freedom
in deed and in truth will once more
possess our Maryland, and light pene- -
trate the Cimmerian shades of little
Delaware and hapless Jersey. There
is brightness ahead for true Republic
---ts• there are easier and grander vic
tories; theriTis a higher !Ind nobler his
tory; all we need do is to labor for our
cause, be true to our principles, and
fulfil our several parts in the great
work given us to do in this the grand
est period of human history, and fu
ture ages will dwell upon and be taught
by the story of our struggles, our tri,
umphs and our rewards.

A Scrap from History for the Con
sideration of Pennsylvania_ Tax Pay
ers.
The Watchnian, as well as the en
tire Democratic press of the country,
are constantly harping on the subject
of TA_X;ITION, heavy taxes, &c. The
fact is,they should be ashamed to write
a line, or say one word on the subject.
Every line written by those men upon
that subject, only tends the more to ex
pose their own wickedness and oppres
sion heaped upon the tax payers by
Democratic mis-rule.
• Pennsylvania, from 1700 to 1854, was
ruled and governed by the Democratic
party. It was an unbroken rule, ex
cept nine years. Governor Mister,
Federalist, was elected in 1820, and
served three years. Governor Ritner,
anti-Mason, was elected in 1835, and
Governor Johnston was elected in 1848,
and served one term. So that it may
truthfully be skid that, from 1790 till
1854, making sixty-four years, the De
mocrats had full sway in the Legisla
tive halls of the State. For during the
administrations of Heister, Ritner and
Johnson, the majority in the Legisla
ture was Democratic, so that reform
was impossible on the part of these op
position Governors.
What was the result of this long, and
almost unbroken reign of the Demo-.
cratie party? When Wm. Bigler, the
last of this unbroken line of Democrat
ic Governors retired from the Guber
natorial chair in 1854, he left a debt of
" forty-one millions Of dollars" to the
State—a Democratic legacy for the tax
payers. This whole debt we charge
upon the Democratic; party, contracted
and forced upon the people by the..
leaders of that party, in the interest of
soulless corporations, and corrupt spec
ulators. Gov. Bigler himself made an
independent fortune. Will any honest
tax payer tell us how that debt was
made, and. how it became necessary,
when PEACE reigned throughout our
boarders? You cannot answer. Ask
Gov. BIGLER, Judge WOODWARD,
W. A. WALLACE or JNO. H. ORVIS,
your Acknowledged leaders why, and
how ! it became necessary to inflict a
debt gf FORTY ONE MILLIONS of dol
lars of debt upon our State in ordivarY
times, and in times of universal peace?
They will refuse to answer. They will,
however, attempt to satisfy your mind
by appealing to Your li'n.' l '.'_`. l .!`..s an :1 I
say: Oh : it was the RADicALs, the nig
ger worshipers, &c. Will such base
hypocrisy, and downright misrepresen
tation satisfy the intelligent men of the
Democratic party? We think not.
In 1854, when Gov. BIGLER retired,
Gov. PoLtocK, Whig, and Republic
an, went into power. Silica that time
this enormous Democratic debt has
been steadily on the decrease, so that,
notwithstanding the war, which cost
the State over six millions of dollars, it
has been brought down to nearly thir
ty-two millions of dollars. With the
same economy and no war, our Repub
lican Governors would have, by this
time, reduced the debt to a merely
nominal . sum. But, as it is, they have
done well. Six millions of war debt
paid, and over nine - millions of the
Democratic State debt paid.
Nor is this all. The personal taxes
have been reduced, and the tax on
REAL ESTATE removed entirely. The
farmer and small owner now pays not
one cent of land tax in Pennsylvania.
Gov. GEARY, during the last year,
has paid off and reduced the Demo -
cratic State debt $4,417,463 64. Tax
payers of Central Pennsylvania, think
over these facts and figures. This is
the work of the Republican Govern
ors—Republican administrations. This
is our PLATFORM, and upon it we in-
tend to enter the coming ' Gubernato -
rial campaign. - It is the strongest,
purely State issue, ever presented to
the people.
Our people will look at, 'and exam
ine for themselves, the record of the
two parties. The Democratic party
and the State debt. The Republican
Party and no tax .on real estate, the
protectors and defenders of the Na
tional flag and honor.
TEM Press of the State, generally,
are severely criticizing the Legisla
ture for extravagance in continuing
the job of the Folders ana Pastors at
an expense of over $30;000, wLeu
Messrs. - Rauch and Cochran, of Lan
caster, offered to do the work for one
fourth that sum. We join with them
in condemning this wasteful provision
made in the interest of the Legisla
tive hangers-on, and suggest that the
true remedy is a very simple one. Let
all such jobs be given to the lowest
responsible bidders, after due notice,
and approved security be requircdfor
the perforthance of such contracts.—
Legislators who do not make a seri
ous attempt to stop these Treasury
leaks in State and Nation, will hear
before long, a species of popular thun
der that will be apt to cause them to
disappear in terror from the political
arena: 1,

Another Talk with Grant.
The correspondents of the newspa
pers have so much to say about Grant
and his views and opinions of things in
general, that are false, that we pay
very little attention to anyof their state-.
meats in regard to what Gen. Grant
has said, will say, may say, or do; but
we clip the following • last talk with
Gen. Grant, simply because, if he did
not say it, he should have done so. It
is certainly the right talk coming from
the right source :
"A prominent citizen of St. Louis
just from Washington, describes a half
hour interview with General Grant,
which shows some of 'the characteris
tics of the President elect in a stronger
Tight than 131,7111;rser Olaf-11'M Ilerkn caLl
cr water; in a long time. During the
conversation a Senator and Judge from
Louisiana, were introduced, who came
to consult with the General in regard
to the government indorsing some
Mate bonds for the improvement of
the levees in Louisiana.
" The General said he hoped the
Government would not do it, and ad
ded, `while we are discussing on all
sides how the national debt is to be
paid, I shall oppose any increase of the
national obligations. I never knew a
government to become responsible for
any amount that it did not ultimately
have to pay.'
"After some further remarks, de
signed to win the General's favor, the
Judge said millions of acres of the best
land in the world are subject, to 'over-
Gen. Grant replied: Let them
overflow, and let, them stay under wa
ter until their owners are willing that
.Northern men and Northern capital
Should come in and protect and improve
them. Northern men with ample capi
tal are ready to make a garden of your
State, and you won't let them do it.—
Your large landholders are as hostile
to the United States government to
day as they have ever been, and if that
government should rebuild their levees,
it would not change them a particle. I
know no way the government could
have adopted for rebuilding the levees
but to have confiscated the lands of
those engaged in the rebellion, and
used the proceeds to restore the coun
try. As that was not done, nothing
remains but to set your negroes to work
and invite in and welcome Northern
men.'
: 'General,' said the Judge' bne
groes won't work.'
' Won't work,' General Grant qui
etly replied : 'they'll work if you pay
them for it: Am 1 not right?' He ad
ded : Is there not much hostility to
Northern men that it amounts, in most
sections of the State, to practical ex
elusion .of them from the agricultural
interests of the country? Is there not
an unwillingness to divide up the lands
and sell in small parcels to those who
might immigrate? And is there not a
general tendency to secure the services
of the negroes without prompt, ade
quate compensation?'
" I must say,' said the Judge,.`that
there is more or less truth in all these
points.'
`Then,' said Grant, I think you
will have to build your own levees or
wait under water until you are willing
Men should come in who will buila
them.' "
Tun MAGNANIMITY Or REAL WORTH.--
Those who have the fewest resources
in themselves naturally seek the food of
their self-love elsewhere. The most ig
norant people find most to laugh at in
strangers ; scandal and satire prevail
in small places; and a propensity to
ridicule the slightest or most palpable de
viation from what we happen to approve,
ceases with the progress of common
sense and decency. True worth does
not, exult in the faults and deficiencies
of others:. as true reftement turns away
from grceeness and deformity, instead of
being tempted to indulge in an unmanly
triumph over it. Raphael would not
faint away at the daubing of a sign -post,
nor 11 mer h.,11 his head the higher
for being in the company of a " great
bard." Real power, real excellence does
not..seek for a foil in imperfection; nor
fear contamination from coming in con
tact with that which is coarse and home
y. It rFpnees on Peelf. and is equally
free from envy and affectation.

What Our Exchanges Think of the
" Republican."
It is always encouraging to have
the good opinion of friends ; but the
good opinion of educated men, such
men as are at the head of, and who
control the newspaper-press of Pa.,
to-day, is a compliment worth. pub
lishing to the world. While we con
fess that it is a tax upon our modesty,
we nevertheless feel that it is a duty
to publish what the press, in general,
think of us. Here are the notices.—

"Bellefbnte, on the 6th of this month
gave birth to a new loyal paper-The
REPUBLICAN-a journal which evi
dences in its initial sheet energy, vigor
and brilliant editorial ability. Center
county was one of the coffee-pot dis
tricts in the recent campaign, and we
recognize in the prompt appearance
of a ndw paper devoted to the pure
principles of Republicanism the legit
imate fruit of those outrages. In the
