ADVERTISING. - The BELLEFONTE
REPUBLICAN has a larger circulation
than any other Republican paper pub
lished in the county. Our merchants
and business men will please make a
note of this.
School Superintendent.
The Convention of the Directors of
Common Schools in Centre county met
on the 4th inst. They elected officers
and proceeded to business. The exhi
bition was not a very creditable one.—
fhere were none, or scarcely one as it
seemed, to be found among the con
trollers of the education of our youth,
who knew how the business of the
Convention should be conducted. .
The Democrats had arranged every
thing secretly; but their President and
secretaries did not know how to go to
work to carry out the programme.—
They wanted to cut down the salary,
because of their inborn stinginess and
illiberality, whether it was likely to
cost them . any money or not, and even
Ouvis was received with coldness by
his vassals when he tried to tell them
the truth, (not strange, perhaps, as
they were not used to it.) After get
ting a motion through to elect a Su
perintendent first; this wise body re
considered it, upon a motion of one of
the minority, and then never consider
ed it at all,but went on to resolve to fix
the salary first. This they resolved
should be done by a plurality instead
of a majority, and began voting for four
different sums, viz: $l5OO, $l2OO,
$lOOO. and $BOO. As the vote pro
gressed, it was evident that the contest
was between $lOOO and $l2OO, and the
liberal-minded men who had voted
$l5OO, seeing this, changed to $l2OO,
and so carried it. The extremely stin
gy who voted for $BOO, as was natural
ly to be expected,did not have enough
sense to know that their ammunition
was wasted, and so $l2OO carried by
one plurality. The learned, eloquent,
and dignified member from the Loop,
it is true.. protested against gentlemen
changing their votes; but upon being
informed that that - practice had been
sanctioned by the ages, and that it was
generally conceded that men had a
right to change their minds, he subsi
ded with an expression of puzzled dis
appointment. As it is evident he was
never far from his native Sink,we may
inform him that., outside the Loop, it
has always been customary to allow
people to change their minds, and as
tounding as it may be to a Looper,even
venues anct vote direct
ly against their daddy's party.
$l2OO being settled upon as a salary,
to the disgust of the Democracy, to
whom pet MAGEE had earnestly rep
resented that he could be had $2OO
cheaper than before, the Convention
proceeded to vote for Supt. ORVIS
was there as professedly the friend of
Prof. HASTINGS, but the party-whip
had been cracked,and Pennsvalley was
a present witness, and o.ltvis caved
and rejoiced with Democracy over the
defeat of his friend. Many of the Bern
ocrats had intended to vote for 11-AS T ings; but. the party fiat put an end
to such nonsense, and not one—not
even HOFFER, one of our own Direc
tors—dared to cast a vote for HAST
INGS. And S. T. SHUGERT, our model
of deportment, and epitome of respec
table mediocrity—the gentleman to
whom the purjury and fraud of Wm.
A. 'WALLACE and others at Philips
burg, and the votes of soft-headed Re
publicans in Bellefonte, once gave a
brief term of office in the Senate—
SHUGERT, the champion of HASTINGS,
was missing. Democracy said,vote for
HASTINGS if you dare, and SEUGERT
did nt dare. So he went to Lock Ha
ven, and missed the cars next clay by
the purest accident. If any man's
confidence was ever more cowardly or
contemptibly betrayed we never heard
of it. But Democrats have no indepen
dent opinions, no liberty of thought or
action,when the party dictum has once
gone forth.
We are glad Republicans are not
such slaves to party, but that they
are liberal minded enough to rise
above it, yet those who listened to
the oft fspeated representations of
Supt. MAGEE that he did not expect
to szet the vote of any man on politi
cal gonads now know that he never
approached Petnocrats on any other
and that they. were deceived and be
trayed.
The Dirgatorg. from HARRIS and
ButtlisTiSt a.tid °tilers of the Republi
can party OA tstaid away to save the
expense of their visit, and failed to
perform the duties.required of them
by law, we think, in every case where
their absence was not enforced by un
avoidable circumstances, ought at
once to resign and let men who are of
some account be chosen in their places.
.There is ne excuse for their derelic
tion in attending to this important
duty. Even if MAGEE did pay the
expense of the Democrats of Pennsval
ley, and their bills - here, we had a
right to expect of Republicans that
they would come out and do their du
ty, and would scorn to receive any
pay from any Candidate. Let these
:Dien resign.—They are unfit for their
trusts, Let it also be understood in
every Township and Borough in
which we can do so thai no Democrat
be hereafter elected to any office. We
have plenty good men •of our ow ,
to nil all offices and those too why
attend to their duties. As a rule the
very best men in every community,
now belong to us. Let those of our
Republican friends, who were deceiv
ed this time, and induced to vote for
an indifferently educated, and half
qualified political trickster, whose mor
al courage in performing, his duties, is
illustrated by his being afraid to re
fuse an applicant a certificate of quali
fication,yet secretly writing to a Board
of Directors not to employ the teacher,
to whose fitness he had testified,by his
official signature ; in preference to a
gentleman of liberal culture, and of the
attainments that the law requires in
this officer. Remember this experi
ence in future, and while we ask not
that this officer be wholly selected for
his politics, as now he is, we do expect
that no one of you will ever vote for a
Democrat until a competent Republi
can canna be found. Our next elec
tion, in October, involves the choice of
all our local officers, county, township
and the Governor. Go to work now,
and let us see that MAGEE be the last
man the Democracy elect in Centre
county, Scratch no ticket. Leave' no
stone unturned to defeat and destroy
this infamous, treasonable, ignorant,
illiberal, stupid and brutal faction that
so long has cursed our county by mis
rule and disgrace.
Let us all go to work, shoulder to
shoulder, hand to hand, and heart to
heart. Let us bury out of sight,forever,
anything like a factious spirit in our
ranks, past individual wrongs and feal
ousies,in too many instances unground
ed, and here and now resolve to work
harmoniously and earnestly, as one
man, for the success of Republican
principles in all their purity, sublimity
and grandeur. Let us.not knuckle or
cringe before the powers of hell and its
co-adjutor, the Democratic party; but
let us expose the wickedness, the
blackness, the damnable character of
that organization, until every profess
ed christian,
.every patriot and every
truly moral and respectable man will
be compelled to leave the organization
and enroll his name with the Republi
can party, the party that protected the
"Old Flag," that saved the Nation,
that perpetuated christian civilization
in our land.

Will the 'Patriot" and "State Guard"
Explain?
The morning after the adjournment
of the Legislature 'we noticed, in the
Harrisburg Patriot, a list of the cor
rupt bills acted upon by that body, to
gether-with the amount paid by the
lobyists, or corporations, asking their
passage and for votes in favor of them.
That list, with prices, runs as follows :
Pipo Bill ) (paid,)
Railroad Bill, (paid,) .............300,00
2d St. Market Bill, 50,00
29th Judicial Bill, 500,00
Railroad Bill, (paid) 100,00
Hong's Bill, (paid) .50,00
Cattle Bill, 200,00
McCullough's 8i11,...... ......... ..... ..... .100,00
Divorce,
50,00
Divorcc—"Joseph's".. ... 50,00
Adair's Bill, '200,00
Railroad, 100,00
Cattle Bill, 300,00
Tax. Bill, '`at 9 00,00
A few days later, from the same pa
per, we cut the following, which pur
ports to be a list of the "honest men"
of the late -Legislature :
The Harrisburg State Guard,gives
the following list of "honest men" in
the late Legislature, viz:
Senators : Wilmer Worthington, of
Chester county ; C. H. Stinson, of
Montgomery county ; R. S. Brown,of
Northampton county ;A. G. Olmsted,
of Potter county ; .G. Dawson Cole
man, of Lebanon county ; C. T. Mc-
Intire.of Perry county ; W. A. Wal
lace, of Clearfield; James L. Graham,
of Pittsburg ; James Kerr, of Butle4;
M. B. Lowry, of Erie. .
Representatives : Speaker Clark, of
Philadelphia; J. F. Chamberlain, of
Bradford county ; F. W. Ames, of
Cra.vford county ; R. B. Brown, of
Clarion county : George F. Rea, and
John D. Stranaham,of Erie county ;
W. H. Playford,of Fayette county ;
S. H. Brown,of Huntingdon county ;
John H. Walker, of Franklin county ;
John H. Longenecker, of Bedford
county ; and the veteran Thomas
Nicholson, of Beaver county.
To this list we may add the names
of Representatives J. R. CLARK, of
Warren, and JAS. a BROWN, Senator
from Mercer, who made a good record,
especially on the Tasbill."
_ Now, in looking over the Legisla
tive Record, we find that of the above
named"honest" representatives, every
one, with four exceptions, voted for
one, two, three, or more, of the above
named bills, and two or three of these
"honest men" voted for almost every
one of them. Will the Harrisburg pa
pers explain this? If these men can
vote for measures that are notoriously
corrupt, and still be blazoned forth as
honest men, why are members, mho
voted against every one of these pa2d
for bills, left out of the list of "honest
men," and thus placed among the
"roosters" and "pinchers," who have
disgraded, not only themselves, but
their constituency and their State?
Moreover, in looking over the Re
cord, we find that the member from
Centre county did not. vote for one of
these bills, nor can we find his vote re
corded in favor of any of the bills that
these papers call "corrupt bills," and
that were passed solely by the use of
money. Politically, we differ with P.
G. MEEK. His politics area the CAL
HOUN States Rights school. They lead
to 'treason, arson, burglary and crime
of every kind. We despise his politics.
Personally, there are many things in
his character we admire. He is an
earnest worker, and, in a business
point of view, we believe, an honest
man. Now, the explanation we want
from the Patriot and State Guard is,
why they did not include the name of
P. G. MEEK. in the list of their honest
men, when the Legislative Record
shows that he did not vote for one of
the alleged corrupt bills? We desire
• . especially, to explain
can publish to
the world the name of Wm. A. WAL
LACE, of coffee pot notoriety, and one
of the most corrupt politicians in the
State—an unscrupulous leader, with
out conscience and without character
—as one of the honest members of the
last Legislature. And yet the name
of P. G. MEEK is not in the list, and
no reason is given why he is to be
ranked with the State Guard's list of
dishonest men. We want to know . of
what crime he has been guilty, that
we can expose him. We also want to
know what Wm. A. 'WALLACE has
done to entitle him to the confidence
of the State Guard. In other words,
we would like to know, and we ask the
Patriot and State Guard for informa
tion, how much W. A. WALLAcE,and
others of the same ilk, paid to have
their names published as honest men.
Did P. G. MEEK refuse to pay the
price, or submit to this system of Mack
mail? We simply ask for information.
Do your duty, gentlemen, as honest
representatives of a free and untram
eled press should do. Give the devil
his due. If P. G, MEEK is not a bet
ter man than W. A. WALLACE, and
other members, who voted for all the
corrupt bills, let us know it. If you
refuse, it looks suspicious on your part,
to say the least of it.
Protection vs. Free Trade.
There can be no question that the
free traders are at this time making a
prodigious effort to engraft their pol
icy on the Government.; and there is
just as little question that their suc
cess would be a ruinous blow at the
enterprise and industry of the contr.
try, both of which it would partially
paralyze at once, putting a stop to the
advance of manufactures, and greatly
retarding the developement of all our
mineral and other resources of wealth.
The Free Trade, now calling them
selves "Reform Leagues," are at
work in New York, in the New Eng
land States, in the Great West, pop
ularizing their ideas and maturing
their plans for securing the co-opera
tion of Congress and the Executive
Department. This movement of the
free traders has spurred the protec
tive party to renewed exertions; the
first demonstration having been made
by the Pennsylvania Industrial
League at their meeting in Philadel
phia last week. It is, indeed, time
that active measures should be taken
everywhere by the friends of Ameri
can industry to secure for it such pro
tection against foreign competition as
would place it upon a sure founda
tion. It is not prohibitory duties that
are asked, for they would necessarily
be temporary but such moderate
duties as will place the American
workingmen and manufacturers upon
an equal footing in all respects with
the foreign, and continued as the per
manent policy of the country. It is
‘,6..bie, not unseasonable protection
that is wanted. Permanency in the
protection afforded, whatever may be
its standard, is what the industry of
the country requires and demands.
A fluctuating policy is always a ruin
ous drawback on commercial, manu
facturing and mechanical interests.
Under it the labor of the country, in
whatever way employed, must suffer
and droop. The battle now is for
such a moderate scale of protection
on the one hand, and for free trade
on the other, the contendivg parties
being the friends and enemies of
American industry.
There should be no question as to
which will succeed in such a contest ;
but to make success certain, the friends
of protection should work without
ceasing from day to day entil they ac
complish all they aim at. The Penn
sylvania Industrial League, at its late
meeting, embodied in their resolu
tions the following views :
First.- That the developement of
our own resources, and The firm pos
session of our own markets are much
more important than foreign com
merce; that by no other method can
a durable resumption of specie pay
ment be attained than by increasing
home production.
Second. To accomplish this we
must consume home made articles.
Third. (neat establishments can
not prosper; small ones cannot spring ,
up with a fickle and unfriendly poli
cy.
Fourth. To promote their growth,
Congress must announce, adhere to
and steadfastly act upon the policy of
defending its own citizens.
Fifth. A protective tariff law
should be passed, covering all import
ed articles.
Sixth. A new department should
be created, .to have in charge the tar
iff Jaws.
Seventh. Domestic protection is
the best method by Which to reduce
the price of manufactured goads.
These views are, in the main, too
sound to be questioned by any but the
silliest old fogies of the Adam Smith
school. The only man in any com
munity, says the Miners' Journal,
who is benefited by free trade and
cheap unrerriuneratiye prices, is the
non producing drone, or dealer in
money. The legal rate of interest on
the money he loans is 6 per cent. and
the cheaper things are for him to
purchase, and the more unremunera
tive to the producer, the better the
balance in his favor at the end of the
year—for the rate of interest far• mon
ey does not vary, he lives cheaper,
and his business is more likely to in
crease with pinched business men to
deal with than when they are easy,
business brisk, and wages good.
Workingmen, do not abate your ef
forts; but labor on steadily and un
ceasingly for the adoption by Con
gress of rn adequate Protective Tar
iff to your industry.—Eurrisburg

Irishmen
There is not on God's earth a more
magnificent country, nor one mere .
wretchedly governed than is Ireland':
—that beautiful island of the sea ;
compelled to support a church and
priesthood foreign to her religious be
lief; her tenantry at the mercy of av
aricious landlords; her people denied
a fair representation in Parliament,
and the merciless tax-gatherers eating
up her substance.
What but blight and desolution
could befall her? What be left her
bravest and best but exile and death?
Yet, thank God ; liberty progresses,
and the entering wedge to Irish inde •
pendence has been driven ! The es
tablished church bloated with wealth,
wrung from a people who spit upon
its doctrines. and despise its priests,
has been compelled to disgorge half
of its plunder, and with the present
bishops die their titles as Lords, and
their rights to seats in the House of
Lords, as representatives of a race
oppressed for years—of a people who,
like the Irish, had no rights the gov
erning class were bound to respect.
As representatives of the black peo
ple of there States. we rejoice in Ire
land's advancement, and lament that
she has not gained all of which she has
been despoiled—her faith,lier soii,her
independence, and her right to govern
herself.
Yet cheer you, Irishmen. Push the
advantage ; move forward ! And
though you may be compelled to pass
through the Red Sea to escape the
oppressor, you will have the sympa
thy of the whole world.to sustain you;
and no people will spring quicker to the
support of the flag of outraged. Erin,
than will the black men of this land;
for they, too, .are engaged in the same
struggle—the struggle for equal rights.
And, Irishmen, we ask your sym
pathy in our transition. We need
the electric speeches of your orators ;
the grand appeals ofyour writers ; the
enthusiasm of your rank and file, and
the votes of you all. if it the hour
of death, you would feel something of
the dignity of the soul of man, and
be able to say . I may not have done
all I could, or as much as some oth
ers, yet, I never barred the progress
of four millions of human beings from
slavery to manhood. And as you do
to us in our extremity may God do so
to you.

MESSRS. EDITORS
_ ?Ate oino.iiiitaltiori
of political parties are such that a large
majority of voters have no will in the
nomination of men, by parties,for;high
and responsible public positions. None
know this fact better than party man
agers who have been in the habit of
making all the prominent party nomi
nations without asking or receiving the
advice or consent of one member out
of ten of their party. This has always
been the case in the Democratic party..
As an original member of the Re
publican party, we have seen this evil
increasing every year since the advent
of our party to supremacy in the State
and nation. Our party managers have
frequently placed men in high official
positions, who, through their ignorance
and dishonesty, have injured the coun
try and the party more than it were
possible for the combined efforts of
their opponents to do. The honest
and reflecting members of the Repub
lican party have, for years past, fre
quently stifled their honest convictions,
and voted party nominations under
protest, because we considered the na
tionality of our country
. in danger.—
That danger is now past, and we de
mand of our party managers, good,
honest and capable nominees. If this
demand is not acceded to, the time is
not far distant when the Republican
party will be numbered among the
things of the past.
In order to secure good nominees,
honest representative delegates should
be selected to our conventions,untram
elled with instructions for this or that
individual, by party managers, and
then honest men would stand a good
chance for Gubernatorial nominations.
The thinking and reflecting Repub
licans, all over the State, ask of the
coming Gubernatorial State Conven
tion, the nomination for Governor, of
a citizen with a first•class reputation,
for our party will need all the votes
they can get to elect their nominee.—
The signs of the times already indicate
a sharp and close cordliot, and unless
we have a goad standard--beVqr QU 4e
featis problematical,
Among the names that will be. pre,
sented to. our State. Convention for Gu..,
bernatorial honors, none stand higher
in the esteem of the rank and file of
our party, than that of Maj. General
John F. Hartranft, who has been well
tried on many a hard contested battle
field, and in the civil service of his
country, and on all occasions proved
himself superior to every emergency,
coming out of every contest with the
unsullied reputation, that no illegal
gains ever sullied the palms of his
hands. .The people ask his nomina
tion, or a man of his character,and our
party managers will do well to heed
their wishes. The people like to hon
or such men because they never prove
false to the trust confided to theth.

Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. C.
May 7th 1869
DEAR REPUBLICAN :—We are be
ing repaid for our pleasant winter by
one of the most backward springs ev
er experienced in this section. Al
though we are almost in the , middle
*of Mav, fires and winter clothing are
as necessary now as three months ago.
As a consequence the spring trade is
exceedingly dull, and our merchant's
faces are correspondingly long. We
regrot to state that quite a number of
failures have occurred in the last few
months, in the District of Columbia,
but without exception they seem to
-occur with the class doing "credit
business."
Various remedies for the present
stringency in the money market are
proposed by different theorists, one
maintaining that a Repeal of the Us
ury laws is all that is 'required to re
store activity to commercial circles,
another asserting that the securing
water transportation, at low rates, to
the City is the remedy, and that the
' putting the "Canal" in naviable con
dition is the only means of securing
the desired end; and so on. -It is
quite likely that the "Canal" ques
tion will play a prominent part in the
rooming municipal election, which
takes place on the first Monday in
June, at least among the citizens of
the Seventh Ward (Island). The
Democracy true to their old style of
warfare are getting up "Citizen's
Tickets," "original Tax-payer's Tick
ets," &c., but if the Republicans
keep strife out of their councils they
are pretty sure of carrying the day.
In the ranks of the Party here, how
ever, are quite a large class, who were
prominent at Seymour and Blair
meetings last Fall, but who having
discovered the error of their ways
about the 14th of October are now
prominent (?) members of the Repub
lican party. Such followers after
loaves and fishes are a disgrace to any
party and deserve kicking out at the
hands of any respectible political or
ganization to which they attempt to
attach themselves. Strife and dis
sention follow constantly in their wake
and it is a source of' wonder that po
litical managers will so frequently ig
nore the claims of those who have
stood the brunt of the conflict, in or
der to give place to these renegades
for the sake of office, of whom it is
well said, that they bring nothing to
I the party they join but weakness.
We have no disposition to shut the
door on those who honestly change
their opinions, political, or• of any
other character, but a due sense of
the proprieties attaching to these
"conversions" generally induces gen-
tlemen to . take "back seats" until in
-
vita I - - -
The opposition here have not learn ,
ed the "coffee-pot trick" yet, it seems.
Couldn't Wallace send them an apos
tle, or two ?
We had the pleasure the other day,
of meeting your esteemed fellow-citi
zen, Col. Theodore Gregg, who made
so gallant a fight for the Legislature
last election that the Democracy felt
tempted to repeat the saying of Pyr
rhus "another such a victory and I
am undone." The Colonel is the he
ro of two wars, having commanded
the gallant 45th during a large por
tion of their term of service, and
when but a mere youth, served in the
Mexican War, in the very regiment,
if we mistake not, to which President
Grant was attached at the time. Flow
much more creditable would Centre
county have made her record, had she
chosen the gallant soldier, who faced
death that the nation might live, to
be her representative, instead of the
man who never lost a chance to strike
a blow at the hearts of those who
sheltered him from danger. But we
trust that the day of her redemption
is
. near at hand. We cannot believe
that any of our soldier-boys will con
tinue to vote side by side with the
men who called them "mercenaries"
"hirelings" &c., who endeavored to
deny them a voice in the councils of
the State and country,who used every
means in their power to prevent the
granting of means to carry on the war
and who mourned. when we were vic
torious and rejoiced when we failed.
Personal and private considerations,.
Rs regards the casting of a particu
lar vote,, we Can make allowance for,
but to steadily, vote with a party who
constantly and bitterly opposed them
during the war, isto stultify themselves,
to admit that the rebels were right,
and they were wrong—and this we
cannot believe they are prepared to
do. Yet we warn such of our soldier
brethren as are affiliated with their
enemies, that by remaining with the
Democratic party they proclaim that
they were previously wrong, and their
very children, who with proper train
ing:would honor them as patriots,
will look upon them with contempt
as the tools of a tyrant and the mur
derers of a brave but, unfortunate
people. The man who wilfully parti
cipates in a war without believing
that justice is on the sidehe supports,
is a murderer in the sight of the Al
mighty,and no excuse can he framed
for himself that will silence the voice
of conscience. We do not envy such
of our comrades as vote the Demo
cratic ticket, from principle, their re
flections on their past conduct. To
the rest we would say that if the prin
ciples they fought . for were right
then, -they are right now, and we
haven't been in service long enough
yet. to learn the art of Desertion.
We were dissapointed iq getting
certain data relative to the history of
the "MeGarrahan claim" and corm
quentlY must defer any allusion to it
to another time.
