WHO SHALL XVLET Whether Geary or Packer should be Gov ernor of Pennsylvania, under ordinary cir cumstances might be a matter of little mo ment ; though it were a lasting disgrace to ignore the sterling integrity and devoted patriotism of Geary for one who turned his back upon his country in the hour of her peril. But leaving the personal merits of the candidates out of the question, great principles are at stake, and the respective standard bearers represent those principles. The very first resolution of the copperhead platform is rebellious and if carried out sub versive of law and order. The platform de clares itself opposed to the Constitutional Amendment and denies the power of Con gress to enforce it. The passage of the fif teenth amendment is about as certain as anything can be. Now let us see what would be the result of the carrying out of the copperhead platform in case Packer should be elected. When the amendment has once been adopted, as it will be during the coming year, we would at ODce have :he Governor of Pennsylvania and the whole copperhead party inaugurating a new rebel lion against the Con.-titutional power and authority of Congress. They are the same men who aided and abetted the rebels in arms, their candidate was the friend of the infamous traitor Vallandigham. their lead ers, many of them, fought in the rebel ranks, and many others were only kept away by want of courage, their principles are un changed, their record is rebellions and trea sonable and they are utterly unfit to be trusted with power. Even with peace firm ly established and all the troubles of the Sonth quieted, and the wounds of the war healed, it would be highly injudicious to en trust such a party with power, but with the question of reconstruction still unsettled and the South barely yet become safe it would be suicidal to allow such an organization to obtain control of our State.. Until every Southern State is ruled by a regular and stable government and the Constitutional amendment passed and enforced in spite of copperhead protests, the work of the Re publican party is unfinished and it must not give up the ship of State. The vital princi ples at stake in the rebellion are still at is sue until such productions as the Ilarris burg platform beeome impossible and the organisation that produced it has ceased to exist. The people cannot and will not con sen: to have an*" earty to rule over them that cannot cut ioo;c trou the worn out, ef fete and exploded doctrines of the times be fore the rebellion, and that * ill not learn that we have entered upon an era of freedom. The present is an age of progress end the party that ignores every movement for the elevation and amelioration of the human race is an enemy not only to our own conn try but to the rao . Thus much even the late rebels of the South have learned and accepted, i hey acknowledge the Constitu tion of the I nited States and all amend ments and laws passed in accordance there with, but their former allies are still groping in the darkness and pitting themselves against the inevitable. No amount of wealth in their candidate can atone for his luck of patriotism, nor can any amount of hypocritical profession of venerauon for the ( onstitution, desire ot economy or love for the soldier, blind the eves of the people to their lack of honesty, humanity or patriot ism. Governor Geary is the standard bear er of the party that has stricken the shackles from the slave, delivered the countrv from the tyrranny of a purseproud aiictocracy and placed her first among the nations of the earth No true patriot can hesitate as to his duty. The destines of our State cannot be handed over to the fossils of a past age. Geary, the gallant soldier, the upright Statesman and faithful Governor, must and will be re-elected. A NEW plan has been adopted by the i ackerites in Philadelphia for getting rid of their disreputable candidates. As Packer is rich it is proposed to buy the pestiferous follow.- off the track. The only trouble we sec in the matter is that the whole pack are disreputable and if they are bought off there will l>e no candidates left, while if they at tempt to set up new opes they will not likely be any better than the old. Truly their plight is a pitiable one, but they deserve it. 1 acker has surely got a pack of trouble with his nominations. His gold has brought the vultures around him thick as flies and buy ing off one set will only make room for another and more hungry crew to make an onslangi. upon his purse. Poor Packer. HEAVY REPUBLICAN GAIN IN KENTUCKY. The copperheads have made a great boast of their victory in Kentucky, but it will not icar a c,ose examination. Last year when '•rant swept the whole country Kentucky gave a rebel majority of {58,678 on the State ticket. I his year the highest they claim at present is 65,000 showing a clear Republi can gain of 23,678. If copperheads feel jnbi aat over a Republican gain on one third of their enormous majority of last year, and that at a time when there is no Presidential election to keep down their vote, we surely have no cause to complain. At the same rate or gain Kentucky will give a Republi can majority in 1872. I HF. Tennessee election which came off on Thursday, the sth instant, resulted w a conservative victory. Senter is reported elected by 40,000 or 50,000 majority. The Legislature will also be argely conservative. Senter claims to be a conservative Republican of the Walker type. The bad feature of his case is that he re ceived all the rebel and Copperhead votes. Kven Andy Johnson favored him, which is calculated to damage any man's character for republicanism. The nomination of Pershing as a candi date for Judge of the Supreme Court is one of the most unpardonable bluoders ever committed by a political party.' Ali parties concede that candidates for the Supreme bench ought to be selected because of their fitness, l'ershing is but a fourth rate law yer and his only merit even in copperhead eyes is his bitter partisanship. If he were elected be would utterly be unfit for the po sition. A bitter partisan and devoid of the legal attainments required for the office his election would be a lasting disgrace to the State. GENERAL ROSECRANS has declined the dubious honor of a nomination as Copper head candidate for Governor of Ohio. Soldiers have an inherent dislike to such associations. Rosecrans has certainly acted very sensibly in refusing the nomination. He has always fought on the right side and come off victorious; if he had accepted this Ohio Copperhead nomination he would have been doomed to an ignominous defeat in which he would have received no sympa thy from his former companions in arms. The cops must seek some one else for a fig ure head UDtil October. IN Ohio the Copperheads have in their platform declared war against all Protection to American Industry. The Copperheads of Pennsylvania advocate the same doctrine, but did not dare to put it in their platform. Packer and his party have no interest in the laboring man except to get his vote, and will do all tbey can io reduce his wages to the standard of foreign paupers, by the adop tion of a british free trade policy the mo ment they have the power. Trust them Es'OLAND for once agrees to our acquisi tion of territory. She is very positive that Spain ought to give up Cuba and that the United States ought to possess it. For onee we are told we are heartily welcome. But it is hinted that Spain will be lucky if she gets twenty millions for it. We are op posed to paying twenty dollars for it. We have debt enough now and if Cuba is only let alone she will come without being bought. Nary red. IT is said the (Ihio Copperheads have lost faith in the virtue of soldier candidates to leal their forlorn hosts. They are deter mined to take a full-blooded rebel of the Valltndigham or Pendleton stripe next time. Why don't they try a rebel General, assume a bold front and come out in their true colors; it would at least have the virtue of candor. THE copperhead platform in Pennsylva nia is money, not principles. The candi date of the party is a true representative of the party platform. He proposes to buy votes enough to elect him. He has plenty of money but unfortunately the purchasable material is all in his own party already and it is in a hopeless minority. Good bye Packer. NASBY is reported to have started out a short time ago to canvass for the Democra cy, but in passing from one State to anoth er, he found that no two platforms advocated the same measures and in view of the great difficulty of reconciling the various plat forms he has retired from the field in dis gu.-t. GENERAL ROSECRANS has outflanked the enemy once more. Ilis declination of the nomination for Governor of Ohio at their hands looks very much as if he did not like their company. He seems to have no taste for leading the party now, that he was obliged to fight during the war. PENNSYLVANIA® never has had a carpet bagger for Governor, nor will she have one now. If Packer packed all the way from Connecticut to hunt office he can pack back again. We have a genuine l'ennsylvanian on the track and a soldier who fought for her in her hour of peril. The soldiers and sailors must be gratefully remembered. THE news from the Alabama election comes iu slowly. Latest reports give four Republican and one Democratic member of Congress without any figures to indicate probable majorities. THE Republican Convention of Fulton county on Monday nominated J. B. Cessna Esq., as their candidate for State Senator subject to the decision of the District Con ference. THE estimated reduction of the public debt for the current month is ten millions, besides a couple millions set aside for the sinking fund. THE Legislative Conf r nee for this Dis trict will meet at the Washington Hotel in Bedford on Friday the 13th inst. PUBLIC OPINION is the title of a new pa per ju.-t started in Chambersburg Pa., by 31. A. Foltz. It is a neat six column sheet and supports Republican principles. Mhat Five Mouths Have Hone. Let us enumerate some of the results of the brief five months of President Grant s administration, which may be cited to the public in response to the charge that the public service is neglected. We weje told in October last by the same oracles that now find itsodifficult, in speak ing ot the President, to respect the ordina ry proprieties of social life, that there would be a dcficiencp in our revenues for the fis eal year just closed of one hundred and fifty four millions of dollars. That is what they regarded as the best prospect the future had to offer us financially nine months ago. Now, what has this idle, cigar-smoking, horse-jockey of a President accomplished during the brief five months that he has had such control of the Government as Congress accorded to him? By a greater care in the selection of trust worthy agents, and by a vigorous enforce ment of the law, the revenues have so rap idly increased that the direct debt of the government has already, since his inaugu ration, been reduced between forty-three and lorty-fcur millions of dollars. The rev enues from whisky and tobacco alone have more than doubled. A reduction of the army from forty regiments to twenty-five is to result in a further saving of many mil lions. The effects of the new policy of the gov ernment toward the Indians cannot now be appreciated, but enough is already known to make a further economy in that direction that most be estimated by millions. Oar ledeial securitios are worth to day at least $250,000,000 more tnan they were worth the day our President was inaugurated, and are advancing at the rate of ton or fifteen millions a week. There is no doubt of our ability to fund the entire national debt with in a year at a rate of interest not exceeding four and a half per cent. We are sure of a surplus at the end of the current fiscal year of from $125,003,000 to $150,000,000, and it is no longer a question that our revenues will justify a large reduction of our taxes.— New York Times.

Scotland Unsettled—llill* and Valleys Quivering. You are not to indulge by this heading that the ancient Kingdom of Scotia is once more about to renew those famous old bor der feuds for which this country wi - un pleasautly remarkable in the days of yore. True, Scotland is very unsettled in the mat ter of its religious tenets, but I do not refer even to that. The contrary winds of op; us ing doctrines do now and again cause a very di'turbed condition of the polemical atmos phere, hut storms are generally succeeded by a calm. I have hope for Scotland yet, asyuu shall see further on in this correspondence. Neither do I refer to the unsettled condi tion of Scotland in the matter of its philo so phy, for nothing conld be more unsettled for many years past. Every cobbler and weaver in the country is a "rut taphysieian," who does not care a snap of his linger for all the John Stuart Mills from John <)'- Greats to the Tweed. Those geniuses ad mire Professor Blackic, of the Edinburgh I niversity, because he is difficult to be un derstood. Thutis the great secret of Scotch men's likes and dislikes. To be easily un derstood is a crime, a vulgar thing, and nu offence neither to be forgotten nor forgiven. The unsettled condition of Scotland is not aseribable to any of these things, but to a return of gentle earthquakes. On Wedcc day last we had something like a general shiver over all the kingdom ; "a quaking' o' fear that was na unco guid for that folk that possess uneasy consciences," as it was termed. The village of Cambric and neigh borhood felt the trcniGr of the earth especi ally. The affrighted inhabitants compared it to the noise of a railway train, or distant thunder. No particular damage was done, further than frightening the old folks out of their senses. _ Several slight shocks have been felt every night since Wednesday last. lam bound to believe it, for what everybody says must be true ; but I confess I felt none of them. It may be that I am impervious to such freaks ot nature, belonging, probably, to the pachydermatous tribe of animals. The shocks proceeded from the south-west (o the north-east. Slight shocks are now being experienced in the same direction mostly every year in the month of July. Tbe Situation in Spain. Cable dispatches from Madrid are not so reassuring as they once were regarding the j final sueeess of the pte;,cnt revolutionary movement. We cannot refuse to admit that the party now in power have worked wen ders. They have accomplished a great | revolution, and, for the first time during one hundred years, a Spanish revolution h;ts been attempted and accomplished without immediate anarchy. Those who remember the revolution of 1 SI 2, and the anarchy that followed, making the return of the King a seeming blessing, tbe revolution of 1820, the anarehv tLat followed, making the oc cupation of the country by the French un der the Duke d'Aneouleme, seem a happy deliverance, and the later revolution tinder the Carlists, which, though it cost Spain much blood and treasure, was yet a signal failure, cannot deny the present revolution has been wonderfully successful. For a little while it did seem as if the success were complete. We have no reason to say that there are any signs that indicate immediate failure. Serrano and his colleagues seem to hold the reins with firm hands. But this Carlist rising, although it has not yet had any marked success, somewhat blurs the perspective. It is notorious that tbe Church is with Don Carlos, and that his return is earnestly prayed for by all those who go in for the divine right of kings. The will of Ferdinand VII. has been winked at by Prim, but it has never been formally sanc tioned. When we take into consideration the financial condition of Spain, which is as bad as it well can be, a Carlist may yet plunge Spain into the wildest anarchy and leave it open to Napoleon to play the part which was played by the Iloly Alliance in 1823, and to restore Isabella to her throne. We have no great faith in the Carlists, but we dread anarchy and we cannot conceal from ourselves the fact that if the Carli-t-, are at all successful anarchy is certain. We wish well to Spain ; but it is because we wish well to her that we cannot call the present state of things satisfactory or the immediate future hopeful. Life at Long Branch. Burleigh, the correspondent of the Bos ton Journal, thus describes this watering place, and compares it with Capo May, Newport, and other noted popular resorts. The whole soil of New Jersy, from where j you take the train to Long Branch is powder and dust, and the ride in the cars is perfectly suffocating. There is .nothing in Long Brauch itself that is attractive. It stretches along the main road for about a mile; the hotels on one side, the ocean on the other. The sun beats down on the glassy surface of the sea at noon, and the heat is intolerable. The hotels are built long and shambling, in the cheapest and flashiest style of sum mer resorts. The soil is the red Jersey soil. The main road in front of the hotels is kept watered and so is tolerable. But the drives off this road are amidst clouds of dust that destroy all comforts of riding. There are none of the attractions at the Branch which make Saratoga, or Newport, Swampscott, or the watering places ol New England. It is a fast place, full of fast people. The foreign element is very large. The Germans are numerous and some of the hotels are completely monopolized by Jewish families. There is none of that indescribable style and make up which is discernable at the Springs and is so marked a feature and gives such a charm to the society at New port. There is none of the family and home feeling which is seen at the New England watering places nor is there any of that Perisiau gayety which marks the company at Cape May. The company at the Branch is a com pany fond of boating, sailing, fast driving; it is rough, hearty, boisterous; sporting men, men of the fancy, who, with their attend ants, late supper.s and convivial habits, gite the place a peculiar air. Families who go to the country lor quiet, who wish to lay off and unbend, live by them-elves and have a cozy time, give the beach a wide Iterth. The season is very short, and the visit by the President will make it a merry one by the unusual crowd and the class of persons drawn to the Branch. A New Dilemma. Does Asa Packer own any United States bonds, or did he ever do so ? This is the latest dilemma of the unfortu nate Democracy. If he does or did, then he is a bloated bondholder, to borrow the elegant language of the leading Democratic journals. If he does not, or never did, then he re fused to aid the Government in the hour ot its peril in the only way he could aid it. If his millions, like a Democrat's doubts, have always been cast against his country, they are not to his credit. If, on the other hand, his money is invested in the tax-ex empted bonds of the Govornment, then he has been violating the first principles of the gospel of modem Democracy after Brick Pomeroy. -On which horn of the dilemma does Mr. ,' lan £ ■ Can his "next friend" in 1 hdadelphia tell us ?

A DEMOCRATIC country journal, not sat isfied with the plethoric purse of Packer, proposes to issue tweDtj-five cent certifi cates to raise money for the campaign Is it aware that a very large number of Demo cratic certificates of all denominations arc now out and unpaid ? They are popularly known as (_ onfederute bonds and currency. They can bo had cheap in Virginia and Mi - sississippi, and, if set in circulation again I ennsylvanin, would auswer admirably for the purpose wanted. BEFORE tho nomination of Packer, the editor of the Se!io.grove Timu, a radical Democratic paj er, wrote ai follows ; "This day the Democratic State con vection assembles at Harrisburg to make a nomination for Governor. Gen. Geo. W. Cass has the ioside track, but a large ring of demagogues who go there uninstructed as delegates will try and cheat him out of the nomination. They are for the man, and that man may be any man who proutiscs them the most money. These men generally favor Packer, because he is very wealthy, and they expect to make him come down with the 'dust.* It is by no means his good qualities they are after." We have not learned what the editors' sentiments are now Doubtless he goes with the crowd for Packer and bis 'duot.' ! A SOUTHERN paper thus acknowledges a | specimen of female cotton raising : "Miss 1 Ariana Livingston, of 3ladison, Florida, who, to her many personal charms, has added the skill of a successful agriculturist, has sent us a specimen of her cotton crop, a goodly portion of which is now opened and opening. The variety is 'Dickson's Select,' and though upland could hardly be distin guished, in staple and general appearance, from a good article of sea island. Miss L., we learn, has a small but very fine crop, equal to the best of her neighbors. Wo bespeak for her good seasons and exemp tions from rust and eatterpillar, and when her crop shall be gathered just anything else ber heart may desire. THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. —Five more ratifications are required. Walker pledges Virginia, Vermont is certain, lthode Islarfd is waiting lor the S prague imbroglio to settle, Tennessee depends upon the elec tion about to take place, the Republicans of Mississippi pledge that State. The ratification of Ohio will depend upon the result of the pending canvass, and Texas will probably come into the Union on con dition of ratifying this amendment. That it will become a part of the Constitution seems, therefore, to be certaiD. WHEN the war commenced -John \V. Geary took his oldest sen and went into the Union army to fight for the old flag. He fought through the whole struggle, and was severely wounded. His son was killed. Asa Packer when the war broke mtopftosed the coercion of the Rebels ani went to Europe ! He continued a Peace Democrat to the end, and supported Andy Johnson's Reconstruction Policy. The Relcl element, led by Brick Pomeroy, was uppermost, at the Harrisburg Convention, and in Asa Packer found a candidate in thorough ac cord with its views. TRISH CROPS.—The reports from all parts of Ireland asto the state of theerops are highly encouraging. The generd appear a nee of things has been greatly improved in the North by recent rain. In the South rain is wanted, but wheat generally looks well. Potatoes are good. Turnips prom ise a fair return. The Irish harvest is not likely to be a very early one, but great hopes are entertained that it will prove a fuli average. Or the political state of affairs ir. Penn sylvania, the New York Comm>rti'al AJctr ti r says : Packer has nothing to recommend him but his bank account. He is old, infirm, and past bis usefulne-s. Governor Geary, the Republican candidate has served the country as a statesman and a soldier. lie is energetic and progressive. The issue in the canvass in Pennsylvania will be dollars, age, and imbecility, against brains patriot ism, and activity. EMIGRATION.—The emigrants to the United States that have arrived at Castle Garden, New York, from Januafy Ist to August 4th. 1869, amounted to 1C5,064 against 12.3,075 during the same period in 1868 —an increa-e of 24,186. The receipts of the Commissioners of Emigration, inclu ding the balance in bank on January Ist, amounted on August 4th to $587,050, and the disbursements to $318,623, showing a balance in hand of $2.88,427. Hooks and Periodicals. THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW for July completes the hundred and eighth volume ot this unrivalled American Xteview. Its con tents are : Hereditary Insanity: A Chapter on Erie; The Religion of Ancient Greece: The Poverty of England ; Open Air Grape Cul ture .- Hungary and Roumaoia : The Laws of History; Volcanoes and Critical Notices. A Chapter on Erie by Charles Francis Adams, jr., is perhaps the most striking article in the number. It recites faithfully and at considerable length the history of the Erie Railroad controversy. It is a sad commen tary on the morals of Railroad Oficers and New York Judges and is calculated to make one stop and ask, where shall thsse things stop? Freebooters and pirates once skulked upon the high seas and challenged admira tion by their daring, but when caight they paid the penalty of their crimes with their lives. Public sentiment demandel prompt and vigorous punishment. To day men strut upon our streets, sit in our courts, are busy in the great marts of commerce and control great railroads, beside whose crimes the exploits and crimes of Dick Turpin and Captain Kidd are but as child's play. Yet a community like New York City submits to be robbed with impunity. Such men as Drew, Vanderbilt and Fisi are daily guilty of deeds that would disgrace the lowest gambling hell, but their gold enables them to go scot free where smaller thieves would find their way to the Tombs. After reciting the sickening tale be closes as follows : Comment wonld only weaken the force of this narrative. It sufficiently suggestj its own moral. The facts which have beet set forth cannot but have revealed to every cb- Bcrvant eye the deep decay which has eaten into every part ot our social edifice. No por tion of our system was left untested, ar d no portion showed itself to be sound. The stock exchange revealed itself as a haunt of gamb lers and a den of thieves ; the offices of onr great corporations appeared as the secret chambers in which trustees plotted the spoli ation ol their wards; the law become a ready engine for the furtherancs of wrong, and the ermine of the judge did not conceal the eagerness of the partisan ; the halls of legisla tion were transformed into a mart in which the price of votes was higgled over, and laws, made to otder, were bought and sold ; while under all, and through all, the voice of pub lic opiniou was silent or was disregarded. It is not, howeveb, in connection with the present that all this has its chief significance. It speaks ominously for the future. It may be that our society is only pasting through a period of ugly transition, but the present evil has its root deep down in the social organi zation, and springs from a diseased public opinion. Failure seems to be regarded as the one unpardonable crime, success as the all-redeeming virtue, the acquisition of wealth as the single worthy aim of life. Ten years ago such revelations as these of the Erin Railway affairs would have sent a shudder through the community, and would have placed a stigma on every man who had had to do with them. Now they merely incite others to surpass them by vet bolder outrages and more corrupt combination!!. Any person desiring to know the depth of moral degradation to which our money kings have fallen, and the lamentable lethargy of the public morals would do well to give this article a careful reading. Wit cannot help congratulating the North American upon the frankness and boldness with which it has taken up the discussion of this class of ques tions. The country sadly needs many more journals of the same kind. The North Arocri* can Review is published by Fields, Osgood A Co., Boston.

POLITICAL ITEMS. THE Hon. James M. Kavauaugh, Detn., has been re elected delegate to Congress from the Territory of Montana. THE Atlanta New Era strongly urges that the expelled negro members of the Georgia Legislature be restored to their seats. A WILMINGTON, N. C., dispatch states that Eegles, (colored), was elected to the Legisla ture on the sth inst., by 400 majority. THE new Democratic war cry—millions for party votes; not one cent to pay off the national debt. THE Democrats have little to say this year about the "Yank Williams," since Packer is from the sane Yankee State. WHEN Democracy was in power it stole the nation's money; when it was out of power it tried to steal the nation's life. ROBERT ROBINSON is the Republacan can date for District-Judge of tbe Ylth District of California, composed of the counties of Sacramento and Yolo. PACKER'S joy now is Mutch-fcr, his right hand man during the campaign. Ilis joy will be much less, when the costs are counted a few weeks hence. IF Asa Packer is the "poor man's can didate" because he has $:.'0,000,000, how much more does he need to be the "rich man's candidate?" WHEN tbe Democracy discover that the money-bags of Packer have failed to corrupt the majorities of Pennsylvania, the unfortu nate millionaire will become an offense in their nostrils—a sort of political Aea-ftrlida. THE SIXTEEN GOVERNORS of Pennsylvania have all been natives of tbe Commonwealth. Tbe opposition now wants us to try a "Con necticut carpet-bagger." No, thank you! The old Pennsylvania stock will do us just as well. And so say we all! WE have not yet seen complete official re turn** of Aw )4ton for Cji CWUtoa > u Vie giuia : but it appears now that Mr. R. S. Ayer (Wells Repnblican) ha 3 been elected in the Ist District, instead of D. M. Norton (lud. Republican, colored), as heretofore re ported. A SAN FRANCISCO dispatch of Aug. 6, says: '"Efforts are being made to organize a Peo ple's party in this city, to nominate a ticket for city and county offices. Reform is de manded. and it is deemed necessary to take the offices of the city out of the hands of the politicians." THAT Packer Corruption Fund has a power ful fascination for all the opposition editors. They can't think, talk or write about anything else but money. With money-bags for their candidate, they may be expected to harp upon that single string as long as the cash holds out. Gov. HOFFMAN, of New York, refuses to surrender pick-pSfcket thieves for trial in this State. Suppose he wants to keep all such chaps in hia State to re-elect him uext time. Like Judge Sharswood of our State, he holds his office by fraud, and both appear to be aiders and abettors of crime. Drtuxo the war the Hon. C. L. Valland igham, the noted rebel from Ohio, was the in vited guest ol Hon. Asa Packer, Democratic candidate for Governor, at his residence in Mauch Chunk. Soldiers of the republic, and loyal citizens, remember the old adage, "Show me your company, and I'll tell you who you are." QUESTION for young Democrats in Pennsyl vania: How did the candidate for Governor begin life? As a Packer. When did lie do his first packing ? When he packed his carpet bag and packed off from Connecticut to Pennsylvania. When was his last packing done? When he packed the Ilarrisburg Convention. WHEN the Democracy at Ilarrisburg planned the nomination of the richest man they could get, they committed two great crimes : First. The nomination was an open and unblushing attempt to obtain money under false pretenses from the nominee. Secondly. It was an un cousciencious and defiant attempt to buy up the State and carry an (lection by the power of gold. So MUCH for the "Poor Man's Candidate !" Judge Packer has grown immensely rich on the toil of the poor, and has always made it a point to purchase that toil at the lowest figure. So that wealth flowed into his coffers it mattered not to him how much of suffering and privation was endured by the men in his employ. Are the toiling millions willing to vote for such a man to be the Governor of this Great State ? WE QUOTE Iroui the little speech of Hon. A6a Packer at Philadelphia : "I will endeavor to do my part to lead you, as jou have placed me in the van, to victory, if possible—and if not, lam certain the de feat shall not be attributed to a lack of any thing that 1 can do. (Applause and cheer ing-) "You will excuse me from making a speech at this time, for talking is not a part of my vocation. (Applause.) There are those whose vocation and calling it is to talk: mine is to work ! (Voices, "good, good; lhat't what we want," and cheering.) I will leave the talking for those whose forte it is, and will endeavor, for myself, to do my share of the work." There is a charmingly simple frankness in these revelations. The candidate is conscious of his inability to make set speeches, but how significantly he pledges himself to another form of usefulness ! There "shall be no lack ol anything he can do," and he means "to do his share." And "that's what we want," howled the hungry wolves abont him 1 He can't talk, he can't write, but he can buy the Democracy, body and soul! Tbe people will see about this. DOES Asa Packer own any United States bonds, or did he ever do so? This is the latest dilemma of the unfortunate Democracy. If he does or did, then he is a bloated bond bolder, to borrow the elegant language oftbe leading Democratic journals. It he does not or never did, then he refused to aid the Gov ernment in the hour of its peril in the only way he could aid it. If bis millions, like a Democrat's doubts, have always been cast against his country, they are not to his credit. If, on the other hand, his money is invested in the lax exempted bonds of the Government, then he has been violating the first principles of the gospel of modem Democracy after Brick Pomeroy.

I com menced the use of DODD'B NERVINE without anybody advising me to it. When I began with it I could only walk from my bed to tho chair. My trouble has been extreme pain in the head, and has las-ed over three years. AH the medicine I have heretofore taken has failed to give any re lief. lam now able to go up and down stairs, and daily improving.

No doubt some custom ers may be lost to me, but I flatter myself, that it will be only those from whom I cannot collect present accounts. All goods will be sold atabout one-half the profit now paid by customers The People often complain of Bedford prices being higher than elsewhere, and doubtlcsc true to some extent, and for the reason that good customers have had to pay for others goods, with an addi tional profit on their own.
