Our fathers in, 1776, in the.time of their dangers and trials, adopted the PrinPiPle.-.That Governments derive theiejtistPowers from the consent of the governed. They invited and accepted the aid 'of all races and classes of men, and promised openly to the world an asyl um for -the oppressed. They professed that they would es tablish an absolute, equality of rights amongst men, and secure their enjoy ment by making the yoke of each eid -zen a necessity to the Government. lithe : days& prosperity they forgot 'the dark-skinned race, who were their servants and helpers, and with 'whom, in many instances; they had shared the toils of the march and the perils Torthe = - Xiifting away from this broad prin ciple of equal rights, the only anchor to which Republican -govommept can cling in tho storms of time, our fat& eriAnd their sons, ftom generation to generation, floated and sailed on over deep, and dark, and calm, but tread:L ewin seas, until the craft was found wiecking in the breakers of revel ution, aid thumping its groaning timbers on the rocks of civil war; Again, in our trial, we worked back o the-old anchorage. Slavery went • dawn, and the black man with the s'white, , was welconie as ally in the du tiestand trials of the field. Me are now to establish, on the ruins of this false and ruinous system, -another, and it must-he either one in -consonance with, or in derogation of, :the principle of equality of human rights. "All men are created'equal." Be; fore God's law all stand on, one plane. There is no respect of persons with. Him. The size of a man's body, Ole color of his skin, or the place- of his birth, is nought in the making up of that last great account that all must render. Why, then, should men's laws make distinctions- not necessary in governing the universe itself?_ To I do so is to contemn . this ezempla—to violate His. teachings—to : bring upon our land, as our father's did, His swift. and_ -sure judgments- 7 --to prolong. a useless and ruinous Struggle; for 'an other generation, against 'the - -true principles of human liberty—to do that 'only in obedience to a.blind conserva tive folly, that out, experience ought to ham eliminated from this peor L s,le, The LoWer HoAseA .our °tigress. :has passed by the rec' l .lite two-thirds, 4 f 0 , 1 '0: 01 : 1215 5 3 P 33 to the State ' authari- 2 &Win tinendraent‘to: the Constitti tien-dergOg.the authority of either State or Nation- to deprive any one of. his right to' vote on account of color orprovious condition. -We hope no One of those, who'have the trust that RePublicans confided to them in their keeping,-will fail: to conic - up boldly now to the support of this righteous measure.

But those who so ex pressed themselves, while they expect ed fellow Democrats to violate their oaths for the sake of party, in private acknowledged that the case was clear ly made out against him, and that, if sworn, would, be compelled to pro nounce him guilty, or to do what the jury did do, impose the cots- upon him as the evidence of their condem nation of, and punishment for his of fence against truth and decency. ;- protection to American Industry. We print on our first page a most excellent article, - On - the stittiect- of "Protection to American Industry," ythieh we copy from the Irish. Repub /ic. We neglected to, credit the arti- EDITORS Cie to that Journal, but avail ourselves of this opportunity to make the amends honorable. We hope that our readers, and: especially our adopted fellow cid ' %ens, will not fail to read the article closely, and study well its argumentS. The protection policy is the true one for this country, and no man who owns a farm, or who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow, should fail to inform himself thoroughly on this subject. Everybody, says Colton, knows how quick the farming interests feel the benefits of a new manufactory, or a new village or town, that has sprung up in the midst of them, under a protective system. The farms instantly rise in vahae; some of them in the neighbor hood are turned into gardens—the most profitable species of husbandry—a new and lively market is opened for agri cultural products; agriCultural labor is in greater deniand, and better paid; its produets - corrimand a higher price; and in this way the increase of manu facturing establishments over the faCe of the country, under the foster ing care of the --same system, diffuses the same:benefits over the agricultu- ' ral interests of the whole land. The operation is simple, and may easily be explained. In the first place the mar ' het is brought home to the door of ag riculture, instead. of being remote in a foreign land. Next; the wants supplied and the profits made by the sale of ag ricultural products are supplied and made at home; and the capital on both sides is in the country, stays here; is us-led - here; ..and by being turned over and over again, in different hands, to different productive ends, is the cause of ceaseless - and cumulative wealth among all parties; whereas, if the same wants had been supplied from abroad, - this capital would have gone abroad, and been lost to the,country forever.— In all these transactions, and as a con sequence, besides the benefits to the agricultural interests, and besides the activity and profit which they afford to every.species of business connected with them—and extends to all kinds of business--there are constantly grow ; _ ing - up in the 'community those great interests, with inareaSing ap— u - unts , o f been first the eapit?2, ha vin cause of these wide-spread and univer sal. benefits.re the perpetual nurtur erkof the same; imparting benefits to all and receiving benefits from all. It is the -creation of <a mnv and count= less family' of iiitersts allied to each Dyofiting by the active . O D_ e:ratunis of which they, in such 'con nection and by such reciprocal inflnenj ces, are the cause. „ The , country and all parties are enriched. The-great Statesman and Philoso-, pher, BENJAMIN FaArrsinv, under stood this . , subject in all bearings, and in 1771 penned the following sound doctrine: "It is well understood that "whenever amanufature is established " which. employs ,a number of hands, it " raises the-value of lands in the neigh- , "boring country all around it, partly II "hy the greater demand near at hand "for the produce-of the land, and part " ly, from the plenty of money drawn ".by the manufacturers to'thcit part of " the. country.. It seems,..therefore, ".the-interest of all ' , our farmers and " owners of lands: to encourage our young manufacturea in- preference to foreign ones iniported among us from distant countries." Notwithstau s dieg,the fact thatWAsH, JEXPERSON,F .. RANBIIN, MADE IKON, ISON, MONROE . aO4 G - en. JACKSON, were all strong advecates of the pro tective policy, we have the EngliSh ernisaries of free trade-7-the BELMOS TS and other Democratic . leaders, scatter ed all over the country. We have, in the city of New York, the "Free Trade League," organized by English Commission Merchants, and held to getherlby Eikglish .capital; . sanetioned and endorsed by every leader of the so called Democratic party; and here in. Bellefonte we have' the Deniociatic 'Watchman declaring, as an induce ment for men to subscribe for. it, that it will "war against all manner of rob " tier tariffs, and other . frauds • upon "consumers;" and, that it will "up " hold Free Trade 'and the rights of "the many;" language that has been . dictated byßritish free traders, 'who have the interests of the Watchnian and the Democratic party in their keeping, and which these satillites of English free trade and English aris tocracy dare not - ignore or refuse to sanction. The'reachings of JEFFER SON and XACKSoN piay be, and are, thrown aside; but the freetrade_ theo ries of these English lords, and haters • and oppressors of the Irish race , and nation, must •be .imperatively carried outs Why our:adopted feliev citizens, es peciailly the Irish portion of them, con tinue to act with the Democratic par— ty, an& thus vote in favor of free trade, British prosperity, and the enslavement of their own beloved IRELAND is, we confess,a problem, or rather a mystery, which we cannot solve nor understand. Sere is one fact we' wish to impress upon the mind of every one of them, to wit : England's strength is in her commerce. Every free trade vote you cast increases that strength, and binds her slavish ch4ins the more tightly around her Trish subjects, already bleed ing,heartsick,dovna-txodden, oppressed and without hope, save in the triumphs of the great progressive party, which is called Republican in America, and Liberal in Great Britain. Emory—Miml's pocket-book imict leis libel snit. • "Scot-ia.". The_last Bedford Inquirer has the following handsome compliment to Hon. Jorm Soon. "Scorn, wha has vri" WALLA CB bled." The brilliant success of Hon. John Scott, of Huntingdon c inhis Senatorial aspirations, has so elated the people of that ancient village, that they have given way to the most excessive mani festations of delight, some of which, it is said, appear ludicrous in the best definition of the word. An eye witness, who is our informant, says that he has' never read, heard or seen anything lik e it. Our narrator says the usually sober town has been drunk with excitement;- that old men and maidens have vied with each other in their enthusiasm; young men and matrons have joined their most ardent zeal with the univer sal impulse; old men have thrown awa y their canes and danced with delight; matrons have lovingly seized their off spring and covered them With. kisses in an exuberance of joy; young gentlemen and young ladies have been seen to em brace, rapturously, upon the door steps; boys and. girls have exhausted their school hours indicting billetdoux con gratulating each other on the general result; and several good feeling fellows were seen embracing lamp posts while others of their companions were feel ing up for•the ground; the latter, how ever; were exceptions. • The new torn babe is now christen ed Scott; .the boy coasting down the hill, in the midst of his delight, pulls off his hat and hurrahs for Scott; the little girl lisps, ere her matin song, " I's• for St ott;" the maiden, full of blushes, "mittens" the chap who does not-put his trust in Scott; the merchant forgets his measurement- in his anxiety for the cause of Scott; the miller stops his mill to further the interests, of Scott; the Judge upon the bench "sees the point clearly" and goes for Scott; the lawyers at the bar move- the continu awe -of the.list, and are jolly over the success of Scott; the jury believe fir .Scott, and the prisoner in the dock should-go Scott free. The doctor, it is said, coats his pills with Scott, and everybody takes them; the dentist has been" known to stop with a half wrenched tooth, portraying the triumphs of Scott, and when . the excited and Aftlictit l -tatient had sub sided sufficiently to realize the pain,he has been soothed with a new applica tion of Scott; the book-sellel: I .l'as sold all the copies of FZ;ott on hand, two or tl Lee dozer_ 6i the Scott-i.sh Chiefs,and only failed to sell all the balance of his stock because it was notlabelled Scott; "Dad Lewis"- has 'supplied the place with Scott snuff, whereby everybody has sneezed, until his-prizes have be come the thing of the whole town and the last one drawn has been the Hon. John Scott. . - We rejoice with the good citizens of that place over their good fortune, thouali we cannot resist the. tempta— tion to rally theca for their excessive delight, for which ihey will, we know, excuse us. We believe, seriously; that not only Huntingdon should be proud of the result, but all Central -Pennsyl vania. The extremes, heretofore, have presumed that ,they alone were entitled to these honors While Welavebeenleft out in the cold : . in the .future, tral Permsylvania will take care of her own peculiar interests. The 'Republican Party. Dilke,. the intelligent English tour ist, devotes a chapter in his new vol nine of travels to the Republican party in America. Among other things he says : "If we look to the record of the Republican party with a view to make a forecast; of its future 'conduct,we find that at the end of the war the party had before it the choice between mili tary rule for the South—between a government carried On through Gener als and Provost Marshals, and a rule founded upon the principles of equity and self-government, dear to our race, and supported by local majorities, not by foreign bayonets. ". After then re viewing whatthe- organization has ac— complished, le.pays the, following trib ute to it: "The organization of the Republican party is hugely Poiverful; it has its branches in every township and district in the Union; but is strong, not in the wiles of crafty plotters, not' in the deiices of unknown politicians, but in the .hearts of the loyal people of the country. If there were nothing else to be said to Englishmen on the state of parties in America, it ,should be sufficient to point out that while the `Democracy' claim the Mozart faction of New York, and the shoddy aristoc , racy, the. pious New Englanders and their sons in the Northwest are by a vast majority Republicans, and no 'side issue' should be allowed to disguise the fact that the Democratic is the party of New York,the Republican party, of America." THE jury in the, Libel Suit brought by Dr. - MITCHELL of , s 'the Dickinson Seminary, against P, MESS, bro't in a verdict of not guilty; but IkIEEK to pay the costs. Rather 'expensive printing, that, Mr. MEEK. %can't see where your great victory comes irt, TIN liberty of the press to publish the truth is still secure in Centre coun ty, says P. G. MEEK.

Prom the Philadelphia Telegraph) ' The great mass of the reading peo ple of Pennsylvania have of late, had their attention - directed to the fact that; the income of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania during the paSt - year amounted to about five millions of dol lars. , Yet the sources from which this revenue was derived, and how it comes that no one feels the pressure of its taxation, are probably known to few. St is well to look for a moment at the four great streams from which over one : half of the total receipts of the State are derived; for from, the four species - of taxes we shall name, more is secured than from all the sources'of ether taxes combined. All of them are payments extracted from rich corporations; Let us take them in the - order of the amounts they realize. First, ,the tax On capital stock, from which the State received during 1868 the sum of $l, - .064,068. This tax was 'levied by the act approved 12th April, 1859, which provides for the imposition of a tax on the capital stock of every bank, com pany, or association, of one-half mill for each one per cent. 'of dividend de clared by the company; and in case' no dividend is declared, the tax is assessed on the calculation of a, dividend of six per cent, or less. Or, to make this more- clear by an example, a company declares a dividend of sin per cent. on ' its capital stock of $105,500, its' tax I 'would be $315 50. By the law a'steady and never failing income is sedured to the State ,as the price of the corporate existence of the company, and is al ways a means of revenue. How fruit-. 1 ful - ati engine for raising revenue it is, can be seen when the tax paid by the Pennsylvania Railroad alone is $lll,- 568, by the Reading $116,469, and by the Lehigh Valley $53,657. The Penn sYlvania Company for the insurance of lives under the law pays $10,500. From it is secured nearly one-fourth of the total receipts of the State. Second.— The next largest channel is that of tax es on net earnings and income. It is imposed by act of 30th of April, 1864, and includes in those upon whom it falls both private bankers and all cor porations not paying a tax upcin divi dends. By the decision of the Supreme Court in the ease of the Commonwealth vs. Phoenix Iron Company, it does not exclude from the new tax those which pity taxes on capital stock; Itis three per cent. on the income. Under it, last year, there was collected $422,803. *Against it a bitter rebellion is raised by the various rich c,orporations, pia there was for many months a battle on Tver Y Cossible ground, but in them the ommonwealth :Was successful. tiaird of the four sources to which ~* e'have referred is the tax on grossre deipts of corporations. It is imposed by the act of 29th September, 1866, which provides "that in addition to the taxes now provided by law, every rail- - road s canal- fl•rui tiansportation compa ny, not liable io tax on income, shall pay a tax of three-fourths . of one per cent.. on its gross receipts.' ' From this the State received $384,161. Thereis at mesent in litigation a point as to whether this tax IS constitutionally . laid on thatportion of gross receipts arising from inter-State traffic. Should it be decided in favor of the State, the in comes from this source would be next year over $500,000. Lastly, the tax on tonnage. Under - this head is the commutation of the PeritisAiania Railroad of $360,000 per annum, for the withdraWal of the pre vious taxes on her tonnage. Thisis an iterii in itself. 'The 'other 'corporations which fall under the general law of the - 30th of April, 1864; have thefbilowing burden laid on the receipts from every thing they carry; First; on productions of mines, each ton of 2,000 pounds, a duty. of two cents. second, on, products of forests, animal' and all agricultural products. 3 cents, and on all other things 5 cents. This netted the State $307,537. Whether it is illegal in the same way as is alleged of the tonnage tax, is to be decided by_the Supreme Court. If it is not, then a hundred thousand a year more willhe added to its contribution to the State. From these four sources, therefore, the Com monwealth, as is shown by the Audi tor General, annually derives an income of $2,500,000 SENATOR SpiNER. —Mr. Sumner has received numerous congratulations on his re-election for a fourth term of six years. The . National Executive Committee of colored men appointed by the recent convention here, recent. ly addressed him a letter of congratu lation, to - which Mr. Sumner replied as follows:: SENATE CHAMBER, S unday, Jan. 24. GENTLEITEN:-.—.1. receive gratefully the congratulations which the National Executive Committee of colored citi zens have made to me on my recent re-election to the Senate. One of the choicest satisfactions of arduous public service is found in the good-will which you. so kindly communicate to me in behalf of those for whom I labored. If I were disposed to hesitate, your letter would quicken my energies. Be assured I shall press on to the end against pre judice, against oppositiorij, against com , binations of all kinds. The good cause has advanced from victory to victory. It only remains that equal rights for all shall be assured at the ballet box everywhere throughout the country.— Until this great victory is won our work is unfinished; nor, in my opinion, can our Republic give an example to mankind. It is little-short of absurdi-• ty to call a Government republican in form which makes a discrimination of rights on account of color, and et .tablishes an oligarchy of the skin. Believe me, gentlemen, very faith fully, yours, CHARLES. SUMNER.. GEORGE T. 'DOWNING, Chairman; F. C.

TRIPLY d• WIT; Rlzsr6,, NEW ADVERTISEMENTS PITTSBURGH COMMERCIAL DAILY AND WEEKLY Now is the Time to Subscribe--Grant's Election a New Era. Every Man Should Know What Is Going On. The election of Grant marks an era intim history of the country. The future's full of promise. We stand on the threshhold. of a period of remarkable interest. If the Presi dential campaign awakened a desire for reading end intelligence; the election of Grant must create a wish among all classes to be well informed at every step in the ca reer on which, as a people, we are about to enter. The people having elected a Presi dent by an unexampled majority, they will natarally wish to observe him at evertstep, know of every event 38 it happens, and have an intelligent understanding of men and things not only in our own country but tkrougbout the-world. More than ever now a good newspaper be comes essential to every man, who wo'd keep himself informed concerning passing events. No man can pretend to know what life is, or keep up with even the mast moderate com petitor, without he is the constant reader of a good newspaper. A good newspaper is the _best investment any man an make—a poor one the poorest. Although established but recently, comparatively, THE PITTSBURG I COMMERCI AL has won a place among the -first journals of the country. and by common consent is the BEST PAPER IN PENNSYLNANIA. We might give from our correspondence and the notices of the press in this and other States, columns of commendation—testimony sustaining the claim we have set up. The reason is evident.. We GIVE ALL TEE NEWS. • And the habitual reader of the COMMER CIAL will find himself well informed on all topics of general interest. Few - papers in the country have so extensive a correspondence, none has so complete errangcnients for gath ering the news, and no other pays au much attention to adapting what it prints to the wants and associations of its readers. • The Constuttetat. is NOT MERELY A POLITICAL PAPER. An advocate of the principles of the Repub lican party, it returns to political friend and foe a thousand times what he pays. THE DAILY COMMERCIAL, ever since it was established, bas been ahead in eiving the latest, fullest and most reliable news. It is not too much to say—for it is a DO/anqa emark —tbat locally it has caused a revolution in journalism, and it exerts an 'extended influence on the public mind. Not professing to be sporty organ, and wishing not to be•understood as the instrument of any eet, sect or combination, yet denoted to the great principles which bardi so signally triumphed in'Grant's election, the Column- CUL aims to be an educator of the public mind, the medium through which it will find expression, and'the adTocate and friend of t nth in all things. 'flit is the organ of any thing, is is of ' PENNSYLVANIA INTERESTS, more especially of the great industrial class es with. whom it is in the closest sympa th y, and of whom it is a part. As a commercial piper, especially in' its - EXTENSIVE AND RELIABLE MARKET • REPORTS, - - tho Commaneter., is recognized everywhere as authority, and it is daily . read. and,relied on in Bsaks, Counting Rooms, by the Me chanic, Tradesman and Representative Man of every calling.
