Meek on His Travels.
Ile wants a Re-nomination—He -Expresses
his Opinion freely on the time-honored
Custom—Let the party split—Graphic
opinion of Democratic aspirants.
From various sources through which
journals of the prominence and circu
lation of the Republican are enabled to
gather matter of importance. and in
terest to their readers, we, this week,
present a decidedly racy account of a
recent pilgrimage performed by our
friend, •P. GRAY MEEK, among the
ancient. Rip Van Winkles of Penns
Valley. PETER G. was never in het
tier trim, and his voice
. was most : mei-.
lifluously sweet and,- persuasive. The
phantom which induced PETER to un
dertake this pilgrimage will . be fully
:understood as we present the fol
lowing verbatuni report of various con
versations. held with "lights" of De•
poeracy in Penns Valley.
At Centre Hall the following collo
quy occurred between SPANGLER and
our journalistic traveller:
MEEK—SP ANGLER, how's your best
ardent?
SPANGLER-SO much better as good.
.Al. —What good are you going to do
for me in Potter tp. this fall?
,S.--Vat you vant?
M.—To go to Harrisburg again. .
dree times ! Dat is too
much,MBEK, and ye ish going do sent
Mr. Love to der Legislader dis fall.
M.—That's where you will make a
very grave error. I don't want the
nomination; but before I would - see
that nincompoop, and antiquated Loop
fossil, BILL LOVE, get the nomination,
I would sacrifice the party. He is in
competent, and has always been nosing
around after office, but has always fail
ed, from his unpopularity, and well
known hypocrisy. No; BILL LOVE
must not be brought forward. Mr.
SPANGLER, let's take - another drink.
I have assisted you in many instances,
SPANGLER; appointed meetings here,
etc.; and, as LOVE can' t get the nomi
nation, you can't do any better than
give it to me. Your next'year's sub
scription is 0. K., Mr. SPAIN.IGLER. - : -
Good day.
At Spring Mills, PETER found his
old friend and couns ellor, Judge HO'S
TEMIAN.
MEEK—Try something, Judge ?
You hold your weight well—good con
science—eh
Any allusion to the purity of the
Judge's conscience having a wonderful
ly mollifying effect on his judicial
self, 2.1.1 EEK managed to overcome, at
the outset, a rather firm-rooted aver
sion to PETER, on account of sundry
differences growing out of the grant
ing of licenses, etc. The Judge was
immediately put in course of inspec
tion, and suggested that Meyers, of
;(lames township, was his candidate,
and that an attempt on MEEK's part
to force a third nomination would re
sult in a split.
M.—Let it split, then. I've carried
the party on my back for the last five
or six sears, and if such mullet-head
ed dolts as JA_KE MEY - Eus are to crowd
me off the track, I say the sooner the
party goesln the better. Besides,
Judge, Who ever heard of a travelling
singing-teacher amounting to anything.
Humph, er AKV MEYER ! a sweet stick
he'd make to represent Centre county
at Harrisburg. • He'd better attend to
his me-fit-sol-la-ing. No, Judge;
neither LOVE nor MEYER can possibly
get the nomination: and if they want
to kick against the nominations, why,
let ' cm.
Judge—What do you think of SIMON
. SVOLP for Treasurer? We dutchmen
are all going for hint in Penns Valley.
M.—l'm with you there. Doc. DOB
F.rNs has been hanging around me for
the past month to try and get me com
mitted to him; but, the fact is, I have
been mining copperheadism so strong,
and the Working - men are becoming so
disgusted with these aristocratic poli
ticians like DOBBINS, that, in order to
strengthen the ticket, and carry the
dutch element , with us, we must nomi
nate such a man as WOLF. He was
a good soldier, and, though I detest
him for it, our chances are so slim that,
with the best men only, can we expect
to carry the county. Besides, DOB
BINS has become a regular drinking
bloat, and just as quick as we get him
up in a shape for a good run, he gets
on another big bum, and kicks it all
over. No, DOBBINS be d—d; I'm go
ing for WOLF for Treasurer. Take
another drink, Judge ! I like your
Penns Valley whiskey better than
BAUM' S.
EDITORS
Judge—Well, what do you say to
LIPTON for Prothonotary?
M.—Oh, LIPTON is a good enough
fellow: but, if possible, he swills more
than DOBBINS, and you never can tell
when he can be found in the office. I
don't believe in having a county office
closed for three or four days in succes
sion. And there is CHRIS. KELLER;
he wants to play Prothonotary. Now
I think CHRIST is well enough off as
he is, and between you and me, Judge,
I don't remember of any thing CHRIS.
KELLER undertook and succeeded.
He always fails. I've got a man whom
I shall bring up at the right time.
Judge—Who?
M.—Honestly, Jude, my man for
Prothonotary is Josh MORAN. We
can always count on JOHN; he is in the
ring; and if you want a re-nomination,
Judge, you can't do anything better
than to tie to MoneN. He is one of
the best workers we have got in the
ring.
At Millheim, PEriat found BILL
Mussnu, who has never been satisfied
with thelate'race of Sheriffs. After go
ing over with the other aspirants, Mus
nu pitched into the entire list of
would be sheriffs, and ' didn't see why
Penn township wasn't entitled to some
considerattou,"
MEEK-1 go for TO3I. MCCOY or
DICK CONLEY. They would, either of
them, make the best sheriff we could
find.
Musszn—Why, CONLEY has had it
MEEK—The same arrangement holds
true as to myself: but the party must
have strong men,, and McCoy or CON
LEY, either, are the strongest men we
could put up.
Mus.—What objection have you to
MEEK—The fact is,• MussEn, your
reputation, of late, has been . of such a
character that it would hurttlie ticket.
Selling whiskey against the law, and a
too great familiarity ,with jail rules,
are not deemed the best-recommenda
tions for officials, you know.
• Whether MUSSER "knew," or not,
we cannot say; but PETER'S visit to
Millheim was not of the most flatter
ing character. - •
MEEK—Oh, here, MussEn: on part
ing, a word of advice. I can't 'come
over here again before the Convention,
as it would occasion too ;Much talk.
and HumulsoN and BROWN are. fol
lowing me up a little too close, oflate,
for comfort, . and might cut my corners,
so I'll tell you now to let JOE WILSON
alone. He is most cussed disagreeable
—has always been a standing candi
date; and my word for it, if nomina
ted for treasurer, would come out of
Benner tp. 50 votes behind the regu
lar Democratic ticket. We are going
to fool along with GMT. DAVIS until
the convention meets, so as to hold the
few working men he may influence.—
He couldn't hurt us any, though, if he
did kick against the ticket. Old Capt.
JOHN MORRISON will want to go on as
Recorder; but we want somebody who
can, at least, write -his name; and the
Capt. was exceedingly unfortunate
in his youth in not getting to school.—
It would be a great shame to put in
MORRISON, who never could make a
decent living. A. good many of our
followers damn the SnucrEms,and say
that they have got rich off the party,
and are now stuck'.up aristocrats, and
that it won't do to run them any more;
but, nevertheless, I Will do my level
best for Si.A SHUGERT for Recorder,
because he Was ousted from his seat in
the Senate by the damned radicals, and
we ought to give him an office to spite
them, if for no other reason. 1 tell
you, BILL, we must stick to the SITU
GERTS, for they have money, and in
fluence, and are not like your Penns
Valley Democrats, who stick to the
ticket under all circumstances; but
they will split, fight and cut the ticket
if it does not suit them. They must
be conciliated.
GEPHART must be kept in as Regis
ter and Clerk. He belongs to your
township—is a radical copperhead, just
our style of a Democrat, BILL; and,
what is best of all, he will ; if necessary,
come down with the stamps, handsome
ly. We don't want any more office
hunting beggars like MounisoN, and
some others; but we do want men who
will shell out freely, and help elect the
ticket. -
P. W. BARNHART desires that I
should help him to the nomination for
Sheriff: but he has no force of charac
ter, and was never known to spend a
cent for the party. I tell you, 131 LL, I
don't take-any stock in these dead
beets. I have too many of them on my
Est already. BARNHART has a lot of
relations: but he hasn't one iota of in
fluence over them; and couldn't carry
one of them out of the party if h e
should try. SMITH BARNHART tried
that once, but failed most beautifully.
I tell you honestly, BILL,. we need not
care for the BARNHARTS, for they are
like spaniels, the more you whip them, .
the better they like you.
3.1 - vs.—Why, MEEK, you seen to he
down on most everypody; - und dem vat
you go fur. I tot vas plait ouse.
MEEK--Now, BILL, don't you be
frightened; just listen to me, I own
the party organ; I can buildup or tear
down just who I please. You play
sharp, BILL; if you want anything, tie
to me. But lam staying too long. I
must be going— Come, let us take
another drink. I like. your whiskey
better thanKREANLERS;and, moreover,
we intend to hold meetings here, and
we will make your house our head
quarters. Good bye illussEn; I must
go; I must get home; 1 want to go to
the Harrisburg convention: I fear that
PACKER will be our nominee, and I
prefer CASS.
MUS.—Fell, If you must go, MEEK,
come in and take another drink first;
and when you get to Harrisburg, do
all you can to lick de d—d Radicals.
MEEK— -BILL, I've got about enough;
but I'll take one more. Here's luck,
BILL; good bye, MussEß; good bye,
GRAY. Well, well, well.
Packer.
Asa Packer, a smart Connecticut
boy of old-fashioned Yankee stock,
lefthis native State when 17 years old,
with some $lO in money and clothing
of about equal value, and brought up
in Susquehanna County, North Pa.
where he apprenticed himself to learn
th€ trade of carpenter and joiner,
which he followed for some years
thereafter ; marrying in due season,
and buying a tract of wild land, which
he proceeded to clear and till. At
length,he pulled :up stake 3 and struck
for Mauch Chunk, the heart of the
Lehigh Coal region, whence he ran a
coal-boat to Phil'a., then started a
store, and soon engaged extensively in
buying coal lands, building railroad,
&c., &c., whereby he grew rapidly
and enormously rich. He is now worth
at least Twenty Millions of Dollars,
and we believe he came honestly by
them, Though we do not belong to
his thrifty class, we appreciate them
as useful men, and believe the world
is better for their existence.
And yet we don't like the idea of
making a Governor out of one whose
chief distinction is the ownership of
Twenty Millions of Dollars, Mr.
Packer is a citizen of respectable
abilities and good eharaater ; yet there
is no one acquainted with him who
can honestly say that, if the net result
of his past exertions had been $20,000
instead of $20,000,000, he would now
be a candidate for Goveinor of Pa.
He, is nominated because of his great
:wealth, and with the expectation that
he will devote 'a part of it to greasing
the wheels of the Deuiocrrtic machine.
- This is ht,ppee baleful and perilous.
Since we have no aristocracy byhlood
or patent, money is rapidly becom
ing the fonntain not only of social dis
tinction, but6f political honor. Who
ever will look intelligently about him
will be 'surprised, to note how many
are filling stations to which 'their
wealth alone has elevated them. Es
pecially sweet on those who, begin
ning.penniless, have made their piles,
we are in danger Of confounding wealth
with worth, and fancying that a mil- I
lioniare must of course be eminently
wise and able, when in fact the talent
which rapidly amasses wealth is of a
low order, and often dissociated from
the higher qualities indispensable in
the statesman or legislator. It is high
time• that keener perceptionshad es
tablished a better standard Of fitness
for exalted public trusts.—K. Y. Trib.
Platform.
Adopted by the Stale Republican Conven
HMI on lune 23, 1869, at Philadelphia.
Resolved, That we rejoice in the glo
rious natiorialiictory of 1868, which
is bringing peace, happiness and pros
perity to us as a nation.
Resolved, That we wholly approve
of the principles and policy of the-
Administration of General Grant,and
we heartily . endorse every sentiment
contained in inaugural address,and
especially do hereby ratify and ap
prove the late amendment proposed
by Congress to the Constitution of the
United States, and known as the fif
teenth amendment.
Resolved, That we have confidence
that the General Administration will
wisely and firmly protect the interests
and dignity of the nation in respect to.
our just claims against Great Britain,
and that we endorse the action of the
Senate in rejectionof theJohnson-Clar
endom treaty, known as the Alabama
Resolved, That we heartily sympa
thize with the struggling peoples of all
nations in their efforts to attain univer
sal freedom and the invaluable rights
of man.
Resolved, That we confidently en
dorse the Administration of General
John W. Geary as wise, economical
and honest, and that it deserves, as it
has received, the approval of the peo
ple of Penn'a, and we especially com
mend his uniform efforts to restrain
the evils of special legislation.
Resolved, That in Hon. Henry W.
'Williams, our candidate for the Su
preme Court, we present a learned,
pure, and .patriotic jurist, who will
adorn the high position to which we
purpose to elect him.
Resolved, That we reiterate and
affirm our adherence to the doctrine
of protection, as proclaimed in the
ninth resolution of the platform adopt
ed the State Convention of March
7, 1866. .
Resolved,That we endorse the ticket
this 'chi' nominated, and pledge to it
our hearty and cordial support
THE Hartford Post says of the, Re
publican nominee for Governor of
Pennsylvania : " Certainly no -more
popular candidate for Governor could
be chosen than Governor Geary.. His
reputation throughout the country is
high -and needs no comment."
The Republicans promised to remem
ber and reward the• Nation's soldiers,
and they are doing it. Gen. Cham
berlain has been renominated for Gov
ernor of Maine ; Gen. Geary of Penn
sylvania; and Gen. Hayes, of Ohio.
A Conscientious Democrat'
The Jersey shore Vidette, a spicy
and excellent paper, gives the follow-
ing account of a Seymourite in Ly
co.ning Co, -Pa : --
A good stork comes to us of an hon
est Democrat in Lycoming County,
which for the credit of that party we
put in print. The Democrat in ques
tion had taken a contract to:carry the
mails over one of the new mail routes
in the county, which he found upon
reflection he had taken at too low a .
price and was anxious to-get rid of his
bargain. In his dilemma he called on
our Mend Capt. Brown for advice
how to proceed - to avoid the executiol
of his contract. Capt. Wqsked him if
he -conld take the oath that he had
never given aid and. comfort to the
rebels. Our Democratic friend said
that he did not believe ho could take
that. oath. He had never bore arms
against the government, but he had
voted for Seymour and Blair ; and be
lieved when he did that he.-was giving
. aid and comfort to the rebels. The
Captain told him that if such Was the
case he did not sec how he could take
the oath. To which he replied that
his conscience would not permit, him
to do - so. Re has not entered upon ,
his duties."

This will deprive Coffee pot„Wallace,
and his fraudulent Co-workers of

The next Fall Session of this Institution
will commence on Monday, the 30th day of
August, and continue sixteen Week - S. Stu
dents to report at the College the • -preceed
&
in Thursday. The charge for tbe. l session.
is 's7o, including; Instruction, Bearding,
Washing and Fuel. Lights. Furniture and
Books to be provided by the Student. . •
The Spring Term of 21 weeks, will close
on the 29th of the present month Though
the number of students has been small, the
experiment of combining study with Work,
has been successful; this success being due
as much to• the absence of the confusion
caused by a crowd of new and undrilled stu
dents at the opening, as to the energy and
cheerful co-operation of the small number on
the roll. The aid has been so heat ty and
effective, that this public mode is gladly em
braced to express thanks for the support thus
afforded. With . light working details, full
spring crops have been put into ' the ground,
the garden has been attended to, much or
namental planting done, and some other im
provements effected. Ac equal pace; the
studies and duties of the College proper have
been carried on ; and now, at the Close of
the term, the pleasant conviction is experi
enced, that mind and body can both be
healthfully and usefully trained sound mor- -
al habits impressed, and young men of prac-:
tical science, as well as sound scholarship
in general literature, sent forth to the work
of life.
This institui ion makes no parade of the long
list of 'ologies,'onomies and'ographies which
grace some catalogues;eneither does it boast
of any incredible number of professors- • ac
tual. expected, spelial, honorary and °oda.:
sional, but with a sufficient number of com
petent instructors., all of whom are capable
in their respective departments, and citizens
of the State, it undertakes to give 'sound
instruction in every branch of literature,sci
ence and practical art pertaining to its class,
which any father may desire for his son,•
and which that son may come prepared to
receive. Beyond this nopromise is made.—
This shall be fulfilled.
Not many citizens of the State know of
the existence ‘ of this Institution, and very
few are aware of its large capacity and adap
tedness to meet the great educational want
of the day,- 7 that of imparting •thoro'"knova
edge, in all the useful branches, praCtically
as well as theoretically, The "Trustees and
officers, feeling the effect of :this tenead
wantof information and arpreciation, have
decided to invite and even challenge inspec
tion of the institution on the part of the pub
lie. Accordingly,
A. HARVO'i RECEPTION will be held at the
College the last week of the present term,
front Holiday the 26th till Saturday the 31st
_of July. During that time the building and
grounds will be open to visitors who may de
sire to know the nature and condition of the
Institution, and inform themselves as to its
future prospects. Especially will old grad
uates, the parents of present students, per . -
sons desirous of sending- students the next
term, and editors of papers, be welcome.—
Plain faro and clean beds will be pr-ovided
withriut charge, and every . effort made to
render the visit agreeable.
