Wo desire, by tho election of Mr. l'er Bhing to the bench of the Supremo Court to i-cctiro it judgo of ability anil high character, who will bo impartial In his Kreat ofiU'c, und will make tho Consti tution and tho laws the ruloof his judg ment and action. Tlx; election of Asa l'aeker, to tho olllco of Governor, Is recommended by many considerations of high moment, tosomo of which wc proposo to call your attention. Reform Is needed in tho State govern ment, and lio is a fit man to Introduce and uphold it. For ho will como to tho performance ol public dtity,armod with Integrity its wllh a garment, with n knowledge of tho business Interests of our people, and wllh an earnest pur poso to do good and resist evil. What has been nmNs in legislation and in ICxecutlvo action at Ilarrlsburg in recent years, will bo rebuked by his election, I'or he has hud no concern and no nynipathy with tho mismanage ment of thu Stale finances nml with tho enactment of odious or Improvident laws; ho lias been engaged In honora ble enterprises of great public utility, nnd lias given his sympathies always lo honnnihlo men. whether lu business or in political lire. II" lias also much knowledge of public liui and of public: men. This Is an IndNpcii-ublo (jiiallll cation for tho oHlcc of Governor or of rresldent. Without It, IC.vecullvo ser vice must ho badly performed or neg lected. Ami l'aeker represents well ono prac tical elllct of our free Institutions. A penniless youth, audit man of htimblo position in tho earlier years of his man hood, ho has achluved a prominent i os Itlou among tho business men of tho country, and distinction as a political man. Ilo now appears before you, not unsolicited, as a candidate for tho high est olllco In tho State government, and holds nssiich tho respect mid confidence of hli fellow-citizens, moro truly and firmly than could a man of high rank and proud llnengo lu a country of ties, potlu or arlstocratical institutions. In Ills case, popular confidence Isbuscd en tirely upon thobolld foundation of real merit; tried throughout an eventful ca reer and manifested In honorable, useful and magnanimous action. Asa l'aeker, In tho Gubernatorial chair, will givo to us what wo greatly needj a btrong point of ileft'iiso and se curity against violent, unjust, lll-cou bldered, hellish and partisan laws, lio Is abovo all Imsencis, Independent of ull cliques and "Rings, " and as incapable of conscious liijiisllculi) political oppon ents as of unworthy sulnervleney to po litical friends. Hu will bo Just, linn, faithful and tolerant in his great ollko, If hoshidl bo charged with t.s duties, nml will pursue therein no selfish object whothtr oramblilini orof ptivrt(og.ili), Asa i'.icUer is a truu representative ol tho industrial Interests of tho Statu ami of our groat public. Improvements, llli relations with both are extensive, and 1869. COL. his views regarding them enlightened and liberal, lie will favor and aid the development of thu formernnd nil pos sible extensions of tho lattcr.so that our peoplo shall Jie prosperous nnd bo ena bled thu belter lo bear the great burden or their public debt. The present canvass has nol been ono of excitement or of noisy effort. Rut wo believe that earnest thought haa been directed by our people to tho Issues involved lu It, and to tho respective claims of tho candidates beforo them. There is a disposition In the public mind (nnd a proper nnd timely ono) to pass from sectional and adventitious ones Hons connected with tho receut war, and bestow attention upon financial, monetary and industrial ones, which como homo to our peoplo in their uvery day pursuits and avocations. Money Is scarce for many legitimate and useful Investments; our taxation is in mauy respects unequal, nnd upon some objects oppressive; tho rates of Interest upon public loans nro Improvident; tho ex penses of government (both Stato nnd Federal) nro ejcesslve, If not profligate, and thu relations between capital and labor aro uneasy and disturbed; and then there is unquestionably a general lowering of the moral tone of public Ufa below the luvel of former times. For remedy for these manifest evils (which nono can deny, and nil good men must lnmcnt,) tho peoplo must act with suergy nnd wisdom. They must cull better men thnn they now havo to places of public trust, nnd they must break up the monopoly of power by the ju-puoucan party. Tho election of Asa Packer will point to reform nnd Im provement In our nffairH, nnd will go n great wny toward securing them. For it will mean that integrity nnd enpacity high honor, spotless character, busi ness ability, experience In nflalrs, nnd ix ehryjltablp, tolerant nnd magnanimous spirit aro appreciated by the people, nnd that men possessing them will bo secured whenover possible, for tho pub lloscrvlce; and It will mean also, that u party in possession of unchecked pow er for many years, whoso performances in the administration of government are unsatisfactory, will be called upon to surrender its power, or to dlvido that power with nnothor party moro faith ful or moro competent. Tho llarrisburg Convention claimed for our Stato tho right and privilege of determining for hcrselftho rules of pop ular sulTrago within her limits. This right, which was recognized in tho Re publican platform of 1SGS, is one of vi tal importance, and should nover bo surrendered or waived. For If the right to determine-whether Africans, Asiat ics or Indians, shall bo electors of a Stnto or not, bo taken away from tho States no matter in what wny their character as sovereign frecStntes lsclear- ly gone from them. We nro not so dl rectly interested in the adjustment of suitragoln tho Southern States under tho reconstruction laws of Congress, as in tiiogeneral question of Stato power over tho subject of suffrage. Though wo may acquiesce in the former as an accomplished fact as an exceptional exerciso of Federal power over seceded States which is beyond recal we must claim for the latter an enduring interest nnd vitality. Our brethren of Califor nia have declared at their recent elec tion that they will not agreo that Con gress shall have power to creato Japanese nnd Chineso voters for thnt Stato. They claim for themselves entire jurisdiction over tho subject of suffrage within their State, and will not surrender it. Nor will wo surrender our similar right, if wo shall be wisely instructed by history and by reason, und shall bo regardful of our interests nud our honor. Tho country desires not only peace, but all the fruits of peace restored con cord, restored prosperity, nnd a com pleto restoration of constitutional rulo in all tho Slates. Wo seek for this: wo desire this with all our hearts. So fur then as national policy is concerned, our cnuso Is the cause of pcaco and of good will among men; of puro nnd just government conformed to fundamental law mid inspired by a humane aud christian spirit, and it Is opposed only to mismanagement and wrong to tho rudo rulo of tho military in time of peace and to tho plunder of tho people, liy order of tho Democratic Stato Committee.

XXXIII NO. 32. How Smith Askod tho Old Man. Smith had Just asked Mr. Thompson's daughter If she would give him n lift out of bncholordom, and sho had said "Yes." It therefore became ahsoliilelv mnu. saty to get the old gentleman's permis sion, so, ns Hinltli enld, the arrange ments mleht be made lo linn thn mn. Jugnl twig. Smith said he'd rather noi tho Inter rogatory to ull of old Th daughters, nnd his sisters, and his lady cousins, nnu ins uunt Ilnnnnh, in tho country, und the whole- of his family re lations, thnn ask old Thompson. Rut It had to be done, nud so ho sat down nnd studied outn speech which lie was todlsgorcoatold Thorn lison thn very first tlmo ho got nshy nt him. So Smith dropped in on lilin ono Sundny even ing, when nil the famllv had dered around to meeting, nnd found turn uoing n sum In beer measure. "How nro vou.

Smith was afraid to an swer, 'causo lio waon't suro nhonttlmt. speech. Hu knew ho had to keep his grip on It while he had it there, or it would slip from him quicker than nn oiled eel through an nugur holo. So ho blurted out "Mr. Thompson, sir : Perhaps It may not bo unknown to vou. ti int. lltlrtmr nu oxtendod period of somo flvo years, i navo neen busily engaged In tho prosecution of n commercial enter prise" "Is thut so, nnd keepln' It n secret all this time, whilo I thought you wcro tendiii' store? Well, by George, you're one of them now, ain't you?" Smith hnd begun to think it all over ngnln to got the run of It. "Mr. Thompson, sir: I'erhaps It may not bo unknown to you that during tho extended period of flvo years, I havo been busily engaged in th O Iirosis"nllnn of a commercial enterprise, withthode- termination to secure n sufficient main teiianco " "Sit down, Smith, and help yourself to beer. Don't stand there lioldin' you hut, llko a blind beggar, with pa ralysis. I never havo seen you bo have yourself so queer in nil my born days." Smith hnd been knocked out again, nnd so lie had to wander back ognin nnd tuko a fresh start, "Mr. Thompson ,sir: It may not bo unknown to you.thnt during nn extend ed period of flvo years, I have boon en gaged lu tho prosecution of a commer cial enterprise, with tho determina tion to procure a sufficient mainte nance " 'A willed ancoV', asked old Thomp son ; but Smith held on to tho last word as if it was tils only chance, and went on : "In tho hope that somo day I might enter wedlock, and bestow my earthly possessions upon ono whom I could rail my own. I have been it lonely man sir, and have felt that It is not good for man to bo alone; therefore I would " "Neither is It, Smith ; I'm glad you dropped in. How's tho old man?" "Mr. Thompson, sir." said Smith. In despairing confusion.raising his voice to ajen, "it may not bo unknown to you that.during an extended periodofa lone ly man, I havo been engaged to enter wctllock.and bestowed nil my enterpriso on one whom I could determine to bo good for certain possessions no,I mean that is that Mr. Thompson, sir ; it may not bo unknown" "And then, again, it may. Look here, Smith ; you'd better lay down nnd tako something warm you ain't well." Smith swearliiir iikou fbur-veur old colt, went In again. "Mr. Thompson, sir: It may not bo lonely to you to prosecuto mo whom you u friend, for n commercial mainten ance, but but but eh dang it Mr. Thompson, sir: It" "Oh, Smith, you talk llko u fool.

With that, old Thompson took Smith and shot hi in Into tho street ns If he'd run him ngalnstnlocomnti at the rate of forty miles an hour.
