Tice Democratic Candidate for Gow-
ernor.
To the uninitiated, says the Beaver
Radical, the contest for the empty
honor of a Democratic nomination for
Governer of Pennsylvania. lies betreen
Gen GEO. W. ()Ass, lion. ASA PACK
ER, and Gen. Wm. McCANDLEs. But
not far behind the scenes another and
more ponderous aspirant lies conceal
ed, and this ambushed hero is no less
a personage than Maj. Gen. WINFIELD
S. HA.ticocK. The relative strength
of these candidates may be more cor
rectly estimated after a survey of the
interests and aims of vast corporations,
potent but invisible in the struggle,
and a glance at _the attitude of the
Democratic party during the eight
years past, with its present straits and
necessities.
First then, a struggle of the great
est magnitude between the Eastern
and the North-eastern lines of rail
road traversing our State, and the
"Trunk lines" running east and west,
is now going on,and everything polit
ical in some way or other seems to be
dragged into this warring vortex.
Cass -represents the 'Trunk line"
interest, and Packer the Eastern and
Northern system. Each party to the
war has determined to own the next
Governor. The bitterness which al
ready characterizes the contest, and
the unlimited resources of the com
batants, will most probably reduce
the contest between the Railroad
Kings to a Kilkenny cat fight, and
the arena being cleared of them,either
party will dash in to put up a com•
promise candidate, each intriguing to
get off with all of the nominee, and
both— ten to one—being. cheated in
the end.
HAlecocK and MoCANneEs are both
bitter pills for the Democracy of Penn
sylvania to swallow, for both have wag
ed a merciless war on Democracy from
the first gun at Sumpter, until the col
lapse of the late rebellion of the Dem
ocratic party. Both, however, have
made such amends as lay in their pow
er, and the question now between them
is which can grovel lowest before the
party'both were shooting during the
war. It is difficult to decide to whom
the palm should be given; nor do we
know where, outside a Magdalen so
ciety, the power to judge between them
exists. Ree'cocee, however, in our
analysis seems to have gathered a base
ness of peculiar rankness and infamy.
MoCANDLEs entered the army as a
Democrat, and without giving up his
party fealty, shot its adherents down
without pity, but not,as it seems,with
out remorse. He came from the walks
of civil and political life, and his sym
pathies and surroundings held him
within the pale of his party. His young
and generous heart bore him headlong
after the idol in whose worship so many
brave fellows have fallen ; and if Me-
CLELLAN had not been permitted to
startle us with his incapacity and dem
agognery, the chances are that No-
CANDLES would have been a good Re
publican. His fall was more to be at
tributed to his generous enthusiasm
than to positive dullness. But with
HieecoocK it is entirely different. He
was educated by the Government
whose flag was shot down by South
Carolina Democrate. He was already
in the army, and his oath bound him
to defend the - flag. His business was
to fight. He had no polities, or if he
had they were subordinated to the rigor
of military ethics and discipline. No ties
were to he broken by the professional
soldier born in Pennsylvania, and no
political pressure kept him back, or
awakened his doubts. He entered the
war, backed by his education, his sec
tion, his social ties and his duty. He -
began at once, and fought as became
a soldier, and during the struggle he
cast behind him political principles
and hero worship. McClellan was
nothing to him but a rival and a fail
ure. He did good service, and obtain
ed a noble reward. And when a year
er two ago, lie deliberately concluded
to return to his vomit, he had a long
way to go, and a dirty puddle to plunge
into. But he made the journey and
the plunge, and is now the represents
tive man of those who turn their backs
upon their comrades, their flag and
their fame. Whether he is yet low
enough to eatisfy the Democracy of
Pennsylvania, we cannot tell; but if he
is not, then no Federal soldier need
begin to fall in hope of reaching the
level of their support.
That ITANcocK thinks helms touch
ed bottom there can be little doubt,
for he fondly hopes for the nomina
tion at Democratic lands on the 4th
of July nest. And he is not content
with a dignified candidacy ; he has
commenced to intrigue for the nlace.
The telegraph a few days ago annouu
ced ,th at forgetting his pride and char
acter as a soldier, he protested against
being assigned to active service by his
commanding officer. The object of
his Protest is to place him in a more
marleed position of hostility to the
President and GEN. SHER MAN, and •
awaken the sympathy of those who-.
bete. "Lteeoreee hirelings," the
"butcher GnANT." and the cause for
which the soldiers of HANcooK laid
down their lives in many a bloody
field. This attitude, deliberately ta
ken by a recusant soldier who seems
ashamed of his own virtues, will prob
ably recommend him as a martyr to a
party which despises all virtue and
Patriotism alike. The next question
is, will such recalcitrance suit the
Boys in Blue.

Free Trade and •Protection.
Free trade in its unlimited sense )
such free trade as is preached by the
most vociferous of its adrocates, means
dependence upon foreign sources for
everything that can be produced
abroad cheaper than it can be made
at home. It means death to the man
ufacturing and mechanical interests of
the country, and the conversion of the
enterprising mechanics, who now add
so much industrial wealth of the na
tion, into agriculturists. It means a
glut in the market of all the agricul
tural products, and consequent low
prices and discouragement to those
engaged in agriculture. It navans ex
posure to sudden deprivation of those
necessaries of life for which we rely
upon foreign sources, at any time our
foreign relations become disturbed,
and consequent large advance in their
price, and distress resulting from di
minished supply.
Protection, on the contrary,does not
imply prohibition, as its opponents,
many of them, unFairly claim. It
means only the proper adjustment of
tariffs so that we can compete with
foreign producers in all those indus
tries, which may, with moderate en—
couragement, thrive here, and for
which we pos ess equal natural advan
tages with foreign competitors. It
means protection to labor against for
ced competition with the cheap labor
of Europe. It means opportunity for
those whose natural genius leads them
into other fields of industry than ag
riculture, to develop that genius and
thus add to the mental wealth of the
country as well as to its material re-.
sources
All cannot be successful farmers or
merehants,and any policy which tends
to confine the abilities of men to any
one channel, however broad that
channel may be, is a bad policy.
We hear a great deal about the dis,
tinction between a revenue tariff and
a protective tariff, as though these
were and ought to be considered sep
arately ; we do not believe in this dis
tinction. We hold that the best rev ,
enue tariff will be the one that pro
tects the industries of the Common
wealth—the sources from which all
revenue must, notwithstanding the
sophistry by which it is attempted to
disguise this important and funds
mental truth.
No more fatal error has ever found
adherents in the political .history of
our country than the doctrine of "free
trade." When mankind become one
nation, one brotherhood ; when all
produce equally, not alone for self but
for the good of the whole ; when ig
norance, and greed, and lust of power
no longer exist; When the millenni
um has co-me, fre,e trade will be the
thing. Meanwhile we seem to live in
an epoch some thousands of years too
early for that blissful consummation.
The truth of the above proposition
is found not only in logical conclu
sions from well-established premises,
but in the history of the United
States for the last half century. The
tariff of 1833 produced its legitimate
results in the ruin of 1837, and the
country recovered only under the pro
tective tariff of 1842. The subsequent
adoption of a free trade policy in 1846,
brought us to the very verge of disas
ter in 1849,which was staved off for a
few years by the gold production of
California. But ; 857 brought the cli
max of distress upon the country,and
there are many young men who can
remember that bitter lesson. To use
the words of Henry C. Carey—" Once
again do we find the country driven to
protection, and the public credit by its
means so well established as to enable
the treasury with little difficulty to
obtain the means of carrying on a war
whose annual cost was more than the
public expenditures of half a century,
incluning the war with Great Britain
in 1812. Thrice thus, with the tariffs
of 1828, 1842 and 1860 has protection
redeemed the country from almost
ruin. Thrice thus under the revenue
tariffs of 1817, 1834 and 1860, has it
been sunk so low that none could be
found "so poor as to do it reverence."
Such having been our experiettee
through half a century it might have
been supposed that the question wo'd
be regarded now as settled, yet do we
find among us, men in office and out
of office, secretaries and senators,own
ers of ships and railroads, farmers and
laborers, denouncing the system un
der which, at every period of its exis
tence, and more especially in that of
' the recent war, they had so largely
prospered—thereby proving how ac
curate has been the desription of them
by an eminent foreigner as the peo
ple who soonest forget yesterday.'"
These are well knowu and often as
serted facts, yet blind to their teach
ings, the preachers of free trade are
urging their views upon the public,
and enlisting in their behalf even the
services of eminent divines and college
professors, in order to win by clap ,
trap a certain class who are led by dis
tinguished names and high-sounding
titles. Such men, distinguished for
their want of financial ability almost
as much as for their great acquire
ments in letters and theology, are the
men who nre to instruct the country
upon political economy.
None'are more likely to be deceived
by their special pleading than farm
ers, and no class would be more Seri
ously injured by the adoption of a free
trade policy. Far removed from coin,
mercial centers, and not conversant
with the details of trade, it seems dif
ficult for them to comprehend how
cheapening iron and cotton goods
should not be beneficial to them.—
They do not see the connection bet
tween the prices of manufactured
goods,and the prices of their products,
and the value or land. The best way
to convince them is to point them to
the indisputable fact that when such
goods have hitherto ad va need in price
under the genial irfluenee c f protec
tion, their ability tt, purchase has al
ways advanced in a greater ratio from
the consequent increarc in the value
of farm products. We trust farmers
will not permit themselves to be de
ceived in this matter. Let them judge
of the present and the future by the
past, which sheds a clear and unmis
takable light upon this subject, and in
the history of which stand yoked to
gether, invariably, protection and
prosperity, free trade and disaster.

The question of liability for town
scrip issued in nearly all Southern
towns during the Rebellion has receiv
ed a final settlement at the hands of
Chief-Justice Chase. Ile decides that
the authorities under which it was
issued being ade facto Government,
the towns would have been liable for
its redemption if it had been issued
for ordinary purposes. But it was
put out to aid the Rebellion, and its
redemption cannot therefore be order
ed by the governMent it was design
ed to subvert.

DEAR REPUBLICAN:
Our city would
scarcely be recognized by the visitor of
Mar. 4th, so complete the is metamor
phosis. A quiet stroll along the thor
oughfares is a thing to be had for the
asking, or rather seeking now. The
few persistent office-seekers who still
linger, despite the absence of their in
fluential friends, are more than off-set
by such of our fashionable's(as can af
ford it), departure for the North, the'
why they desire a cooler atmosphere
than we now enjoy is a mystery to
.the
uninitiated, The President is more at
liberty than he is wont to be, , and if
we may judge from the satisfied look
his countenance bears while taking his
daily stroll around the " Department
al" portion of the city, he enjoys his
freedom hugely.
Our Base Ball fraternity have com
menced " active hostilities" for the
season, and last night all those given
to athletic sports were rejoicing at the
overwhelming defeat sustained yester
day, by the " Marylanders," of Balti
more, the present " champions of the
South," at the hands of the "Olym
pics," one of the favorite clubs of this
city. The championship of the South
has been held by the " Nationals" for
several years past; but just at the close
of last season they lost it. It is gen
erally conceeded that it will " come
back" this year, and the only question
is whether it shall be held by the "Na
tionals" again, or the young and vig
orous "Olympics." On Saturday last,
in a "friendly" game, the latter car
ried off the ball by one run, and to
morrow the first of the regular, match
games—best two in three—will be de
cided. Gen. Michler, the officer dis
charging the duties formerly perform
ed by the Commissioner of Public
Buildings and grounds„ has called down
on his devoted head, the Anathemas of
the ballists and their friends, for refus
ing to allow ball-playing on the" White
Lot," a field equalled by few, and sur
passed by none,for that particular pur
pose, and which had been so used from
time immemorial. However, submis
sion is their only course.
The lovers of horse-flesh also have
had a rich treat for the past two weeks.
On every fair day of the week, ending
May 15th, they have had one or more
trotting contests on the " National"
course, and this week have been in
dulged with bona Ale racing. The
fine stable of Gov. Bowrie, of Mary
land, and several from West Virginia,
as well as horses owned in this vicini
ty, paCcii:ated in these meetings.—
Ore of the best stables in America, he
longing to Mr. McConnell of Southern
Ohio ; also came here, inteh.ding,to en
ter for the races, but finding
.that the
hems had been somewhat injured by
the long trip on the cars, passed on to
Jerome Park, N. Y., to get ready for
the summer meeting there. In this
stable is the famous " Bayswater,"
whose brilliant performances as a:three
year old caused him to be ragarded as
the "coming rival" of the great "Ken
tucky." Not broken down, the queL
tion of their relative merits would have
been tested this year. We have often
wondered how it is that the people of
your section, noted, as they are, for
their love of fine horses, have, appa
rently at least, taken so little heed of
the almost incalculable benefits to be
derived from a judicious intermingling
of the blood of the Race Horse with
the stock now owned by them. The
qualities of speed, strength, courage,
endurance and docility (when trained
in time) have never been combined
to such a degree as is exhibited by the
American Race Horse. "A word to
the wise is sufficient."
Mrs. Scott-Siddons, who claims to
be a grand-daughter of the great Mrs.
Siddons, has been playing the "legiti
mate drama," for the past two weeks.
to good houses, which show that the
taste of the public is not so wholly per
verted as the managers who have "put
forth" some of the shameful represen
tations so much in vogue, would have
us believe.
On Wednesday the 9th proximo,the
National Division of the Sons of Tem
perance of North America, will begin
their Annual Session in this city. Ev
ery preparation is being made for a
grand Session. The "Congregational
Church," " Carroll Pall." and " Odd
Fellows have been secured and
will be appropriately decorated for the
occasion. It is expected that the most
prominent Temperance men of the
whole country will be present. We bid
them God-speed. On the 9th of June
also, (unless the date be changed on
account of the Temperance gathering)
Columbiana Law College holds its an
nual commencement, and Some seven
ty:five Young Lawyers, more or less,
will be turned - loose on the defenseless
community: Bad for the "communi
ty," isn't it?
The ceremony of decorating the
graves of the "martyrs for the Union"
will be observed, on the 29th inst.—
S ome of the Heads of Departments
have already issued circulars, excusing
from duty on that day, all employees
who desire to participate in thus hen
oring the remains of the fallen, and it
is more than probable that the exam
ple thus set will be generally followed.
The privilege of thus honoring the
graves of our dead heroes is also a du
ty, ieasrauch as it teaches the rising
generation, by the powerful voice of
example to honor the cause for which
their fathers fought.. While the spirit
of devotion to the flag:and oflonor to
its defenders remain; let it be evidenc
ed by deeds.
Truly Yours,
KAPPA
Bulling the Price of Gold,
The Treasury, says the N. Y. Irib
tine, holds a surplus of at least Sixty
Millions of Gold, which ought long
since to lave been used to pay off
Public Debt, and thus reduce our an
nual burden of interest. That Gold
would,once since we held it have bo't
Eighty Millions of Six per Cents ; it
would still buy over Seventy Millions.
The sooner it is employed " for the
purchase" or "payment" of bonds,as
the law directs. the better for the
public interest. Such a hoard, lying
dead, makes Gold scarce and Bonds
plentiful in the channels of business,
whereas, it is the public interest, in
view of the urgent need of funding
our Debt at lower rates of interest,
that Gold should abound and Bonds
be scarce. The Treasury stands right
in its own light in allowing a dollar of
coin beyond its current needs to rest
in the Treasury.
The operators for a rise have man
aged to put up the premium on Gold;
and this they can de so long as the
Treasury backs them by hoarding
Gold. Every dollar thus hoarded is
carried for their benefit. If the Treas
ury held but Ten Millions of coin,
they could not keep up Gold to any
thing like its present premium. But,
so long as the Treasury hold on to One
Hundred Millions, they can manage
and manipulate the residue with ease.
Putting up the premium on Gold is
playing right into the hands of the
Secretary, assuming that he wishes to
use his surplus coin to reduce the pub
lic Debt. If he can sell Gold at 140
and buy Bonds at 115, every Million
of his cash will buy up over one Mill
ion and a Quarter of Bonds. He ought
to thank the gamblers for helping him
to so favorable an opportunity, and
improve it to the utmost. Instead of
One Million of' Bonds per week, he
should buy up Five, Ten, Fifteen,
Twenty Millions—all that he can get
at anything like the present prices of
Bonds and Gold respectively. We do
not believe he will ever again see a
week wherein Ten Millions of Gold
will buy up so large an amount of
Bonds as at this moment. He should
buy—buy—buy—so long as $1,000,000
in gold will purchase $1,100,000 of the
National Debt and he has a surplus of
gold to sell. Such, we cannot doubt,
Is his intention. He may buy but
$1,000,000 this week; but,if thegreat
disparity between Gold and Bonds
shall continue, he will buy more and
more Bonds from week to week here
after. So crowd up the premium on
coin, Messrs. Gold-Gamblers ! so that
our gold shall serve to wipe out as
many bonds as possible !
