The Constitutional Amendment
The Amendment to the U. S. Con
stitution has passed the State Senate
by a strict party vote; it is now being
debated- in the house. Abel speeches
have been made pro. and eon. - It is
well enough for the members to dis
cuss the question fully, but we dislike
the delay occasioned by it. The peo
ple are ready for the question, and de
sire their servants in the House to rati
fy the amendment without unnecessary
delay.
The opposition of the Democratic
party to this measure only proves.that
they are retrograding, and are anti-.
progressive. Years ago, when democ
racy meant something, when it was a
liberty-loving party, whin it ad-
vocated equal and exact justice to all
- men, freemen of color voted in all the
old States. This right to vote was con
ferred upon them by the fehers and
founders of the Government, and no
objection was ever made to it until the
Democratic party became aristocratic
—false to its honor, its character, its
position—and was swallowed up by,
and made the supplient tool of, the
Southern slave driver.
The Watchman, and every other
Copperhead paper in the State, are
raising the hue and cry of 'the
.unfair
ness of the manner of subniittine the
amendment. They say that it should
be submitted to the votes of the peo
ple. These Editors know, just as well
as we, that this is all bosh. The Con
stitution of the United States does not
provide for that method of amendment,
It provides that the Legislatures of
three-fourths of all the States are suf
ficient at any time, and all that is re
quired to change or amend the U. S.
Constitution. - This Constitutional
method of amending the Constitution
has been . striatly adhered to . by the
Congress of the Nation, and the amend-
ment • is, therefore, before the . state
Legislatures for ratification. But the
Copperhead leaders are never satisfied
with anything that is done in accord
ance with the' Constitution. When
Grant whipped their rebel brethren
under Lee, and caused them to sur
render, and promise to obey the Cob
stitution,.and the laws of . the land,
these Copperhead leaders said it was
unconstitutional, and wrong, to coerce
such gentlemanly fellows, and such
good Citizens and Beraberats. as were
these aschel seounCra'S wl- o• - ought to d:
stroy the Government. There is no use,
gentlemen. The dye is;east: XonnuaY
just as well keep quiet, because the
people have no confidence in you—in
your party—your honesty,:or YoUr pro
fessions. You know this as well as
we dO. Congress understands this,
and the triumphant majority given to
Gen. Giant laSt fall, abundantly proves
it. So that Congress, in proposing this
amendnient to the Constitution, and •
the Legislatures of the different States
in ratifying it, are only ratifying and
endorsing the well-defined wishes and
desires of their constituents, the peo 7
pie of the United States, and letting
the Copperheads down easy.
This, by the way, as Mr. LINCOLN
was wont to say, reminds us of a little
story. A pious old negro, saying grace
at the table, not only used to ask a
blessing upon his-board, but he would
also petition to have some definite dish
supplied.
One day it was known that Cato was
out of potatoes, and suspecting that he
would pray for some at dinner, a wag
provided himself with a small measure
of the vegetables, stole under the win.
dow, next which stood the table of our
colored christian. Soon Cato drew up
a chair and commenced : .
"Oh, masse Lord, will dow in dy
provident kindness condescend to bresi
eberything before us and be pleased to
bestow on us 45 few taters—and all _de
praise—" . • •
(Here the potatoes were dashed up
on the table, breaking plates and up
setting the mustard pot.)
"Dems 'em, Lcird," said Cato.look
ing with surprise, only just luff 'em
down a little easier next time."
The amendment will of course be
ratified, and de coled . bredren through
out the whole country will pray de Lord
to luff de Democrats down easy,
OFFICIAL ORDERS — TAKE NOTICE.—
Postmaster General Cresewell has is
sued an order declaring that from and
after the 31st day of March the com
mis ions of all special agents of the
Post Office Department, other that
those under pay and assigned to duty
in prescribed diStricts in the several
States and Territories will be revoked ;
and notice is also given that the com
missions of all special agents retained
in the service of said Department will
expire on the 31st day of Decmber
next, and must then be renewed. No
tivs is also given that all applications
Ivor clerkships, whether by males or
females, or for special agencies, route
agencies, local agencies, or postal
clerli•bip., must he filed with the
Depzirt ntent. None will
e le(-s iced by the Poama6ter Gener.
AVE learn from a dispatch to the
Harrisburg Telegraph tbat PleAdent
Grant was quite indisposed on Satur
day last. No visitor:: were admitted
to ti:e White bouFe. incessant
hal ors :-ince his inautzmation 1 ave
been toe !Luck for him.
We want a change in the Register
and Recorder's office: but we desire a
still . greater change than that. We
want the office divided. In this de
partment there are three separate and
distinct offices, to wit : Register cf
Wills, Recorder, and Clerk of the Or
phan's Court. Th.se are all held by
one man. When our county was young,
and sparcely populated, this was well
enough; but now,when our county con
tains from 0,000 to 60,000 inhabitants,
it is not right, and there is no reason
whickcan be urged for its continu
ance.
EDITOIttI
As .these offices, now held by one
man, are salaried, or rather paid at
per centum rates on the work done,
the suggested division, or change,
could make not one cent of difference
to the tax payers, but would be an ad
vantage in everYway. It now requires
two men, constantly, to do the work of
the office. Why should one of them
be a clerk, while the other reaps the
profits? In other counties, not so pop
ulous as Centre, these offices are sepa
rated. We want them divided • here.
Let us have a law to that effect. Let
one man be elected to fill the office of
Register of Wills, and Clerk of the Or
phan's Court, and another to fill the
office of Recorder of Deeds. This is
fair and Democratic. Who can object,
especially when it does not increase the
expense . to the taxpayer?
With the Bellefonte and Lewisburg
.Railroad-coMpleted, it will not be five
years until our population in the county
will be doubled, and fully one-half of
all the . property in the county will
change hands. The result will . .be, if
the office remains aiat Present, three
or four clerks, while:some favorite of ,
the "Court House clique"will hold the
office, and become, not only independ
ently rich, but independently impu
dent.
Here is work for P. G. MEEK, the
Representative of Democracy, from
this county (for he doeS not represent
the intelligent, or Republican element)
to do. Will he do it? Dare he do
anything to which the "Court House
clique," or any portion of it, would ob
ject? Dare he attempt to offer one
bill, or ask for the passage of one law
that will benefit the people, and aid in
breaking up Court House monopolies?
We will see.
Certain it-is that he has done noth
ing yet to earn the money paid him as
Representative, nor any thing .for the
benefit Of the people of the county.—
If he were honest in - what , he' sayi
the Watchman about extravagance, or
if he had any cenficience at all,he would
resign and come home, refusing to take .
any pay for his'services in 9/Lis-repre
senting our county.
He can t in our estimation, redeem
.his chaiacter,.. to some extent, by of
fering, without delay, a bill to divide
the Register and Recorder's officee
Centre county. The Republicans
tend to carry the county next fall, .and
therefore we wish this monopoly broken
, up. We want to elect one candidate
for Register of Wills; one candidate for
Recorder, &e.; and so on to the end of
the chapter. In view of these facts,
we appeal to you, P. G. MEEK, to do
one honest, disinterested act—to pass
One law that will benefitthe-whole peo
ple.
WORTHY of THOUGHT. —The effects
of protection and free trade are aptly
contrasted by 111 r. Carey in cne of his
letters in refutation of some of the
statements contained in the report Of
11r. Wells. He makes the following
allegations, and challenges successful
contradiction : British free trade al
most crushed out the great iron man
ufacture in the period from 1817 to
1824 ; paralyzed it in that from 1835
to 1842: and did the same in that
from 1840 to 1860. American free
dom of commerce, resulting from pro
tection against the "warfare," of
British "capitalists from 1824 to 1833 ;
did the same from 1842 to 1848 ; and
has doubled it since 1861. British
free trade never permanently added a
single ton to the iron production in
the whole thirty years ofits existence.
American freedom of commerce has
added 1,500,000 tons in the less than
twenty yearsd'hat the country has been
ruled by the tariffs of 1828, 1842 and
1861.
DEMOCRATS RANT IN VAlN.—Demo
cratic acerbity says the Press has been
greatly intensified by Grant's signing
of the bills to increase the public cred
it and to secure civil rights to all the
citizens of the District of Columbia.
This purely patriotic and Republican
action on his part cements him closely
with his party and makes of him
a true Executive exponent. it will
endear him to the people, whose con
fidence has remained unshaken des
pite the attempts of Democratic jour
nals to impair it. We cannot much
wonder, however, at the agony of
Democracy, fur on the heels of this ac
tion of the President comes the an ,
nouncement that the new Secretary of
the Treasury is hopeful, and with
prompt collection of the revenue will
rapidly pay off the public debt. This
must be alarming indeed ; for since
the "nigger" has reached the estate
of man and citizen, Denocracy has had
no pabulum for prejudice except what
little it could find in attacks upon the
national credit.
TIIE HONEST DEN OCRACY. —A Terra
Route (Indiana) papt-,r says a Demo.
cratio bolter, just returned from the
State capital, exchanged hie cribbed
s.tat ionei.y for a plow, and paid for his
wile's new dress in postage stamps.
The wife ofa "resigned" Representa
tive in a Southern county offered, in
part payment for a bill of dry goods,
::33S in postage stamps, which she said
her husband bad drawn from the Leg.
Mature.
Why Not?
The Tenure of . Office Law.
There appears to ba a dead lock
between the President and the Sen
ate on the subject of the Tenure of
Office Law. So long as it remains the
law of the land, President Grant is
sworn to enforce it. The House is al
most unanimously „in favor of the re
peal of the law. The Senate thus far
contends simply for its suspension.—
In the mean time, Gen. Grant refus
es to remove under it, as he is bound
to do, any office-holder, except for
cause. Holding rightly, we think,
that a difference of opinion political
ly is not sufficient cause under said
law for removal. In consequence of
this there have been no appointments
made, except a few to fill vacancies.
senator Schurz, of Missouri, Scott,
of Pa., and several of the ether new
Senators, made able and el )quent
speeches on the subject. The latest
we have cn this subject, is a special
dispatch to the Phil'a. Press, on Mon
day the 22nd inst. :
"It is believed to-night that the vote
on the civil tenure act, which will un
doubtedly be taken in the Senate to
morrow, will result in the passage of
the House bill repealing the law. The
mature reflection that has ensued pen
ding the debate of last week has con
vinced a majority of the Senate that
it will be injudicious for them not to
do so. Both the House and the Pres
ident being in favor of its repeal,they
are forced to assume a great respond
bility if they do not repeal it, and ne
cessarily would render themselves
liable to the charge of seeking to re--
tain the - contr9l of the patronage of
the Government against the wishes of
the people and their direct represen
tatives.. If the House could be bro't
to the support of the suspension
scheme I think the Senate would re
ject the bill, but under existing cir
cumstances Ido not hesitate to pre
dict that it will pass by a very close
vote. At one time it had ten ma
jority in the Senate, but I do not
think now that it has more than two
or three. It is still the absorbing
topic of conversation here, and until
it is disposed of no business of any
importance will be transacted in any
of the departments. Senator Drake's
proposition to suspend the law for
four years is viewed in the light of an
attempted compromise, but I have
reason to believe that it would not be
accepted by General Grant, and that
if t he bill is finally sent to him in that
shape he will favor the country with
his first veto. He proposes to have
the law repealed, and if Congress dose
not see fit to repeal it now, he will, by
a rigor6qs enforcement of its obnox
ious provisions,.• seek -to change the
opinion of the.Senat) regarding it.
Saint Patrick's Day.
, We notice in our local columns the
pro pessi on. of St. Patrick's • Tem per
.ance Society in Bellefonte,on St. Pat
rick's day. While our Irish fellow
citizens were enjoying themselves
here, we lcarn:from , the :N. Y. Trib
*une, that they. were also having a glo
rious time in that city. The proces
sion numbered about ten thousand.—
After giving them some vc-y good
counsel in regard to making their cel
ebrations a little more interesting and
varied than they generally do, and af
ter some very well-timed and jocose
remarks on the way in which the Irish
lads and lasses seemed to enjoy them
selves on the occssion, the Tribune
adds : "Where was ever a more bard-
Working, industrious, willing, and
contented a population than our Irish
one ! Where was there ever, on the
whole, an honester and better tem
pered one ! To-day we will not speak
of their faults, and we are glad to say
they have them in plenty like the rest
of us, for without vices we couldn't
have virtues, and . shouldn't be hu
man. We give 'em a cordial hand of
welcome, and are proud of this hard.
fisted, bard-worked band of exiles.—
We won't even blame them too much
for being Democrats to a man, for as
they understand the word it would be
strange if they were not, and no cred
it to them either ! • When they find
out, as they. will in time, that the De
mocracy they swear by here is the
same in principle with the aristocracy
that made their life at home a curse,
and drove them out of their native
land to escape starvation, they will
come over to the true Democracy that,
with Grant as leader, has
: saved the
Republic, the sham Democracy under
Lee and Seymour tried to destroy,and
they will come to stay.
For ourselves, we do most sincerely
believe that, in time, the. emigration
to this country of Irish in numbers
sufficient. to influence, as they have
done, our manners, our customs, and
cur politics, will prove of great na
tional service. Their exile from Ire
land has already begun to repay the
cruel masters of that beautiful island
with sterility for her ancient fruitful
ness, with famine for her ancient
abundance, and with, enmity where,
if there never was, at least there
might have been, the warmest friend
ship. At present we, in America,see
the Irish race suffering under all the
faults and drawbacks that have resul
ted from the blighting rule of English
injustice. bigotry, and greed. But the
day will surely come when, under the
benign influence of institutions really
free, with ample means of education,
and the right to life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happines .secured to them
not merely by the technical law but
by the spirit of the country as well,
they will ripen into a:generous growth
and show all the virtue that is in them
and renew under other, but not alien
skies, the glories of their earlier day.
