Tlio oxcctitlvo commltlco of tlio ilo
mocracy of tills Stnto, to wliom tho fol.
lowlntf mid rcss wiw rofcrrcd by tlio ro
cent Slnto convention, now pro-icnt tho
samo to you ns embodying somo of tho
rciisoiw which ncttialo nnd control tho
organization they represent i
Wo hero eolcitinly renew pur often'
repeated ileclarntion of fidelity to tho
Rreat principles upon which our party
lias nclcil from tbo (lino of it first or
fjanlzatlon. Our ultlinato objects nro
4hoso of our fatboM when they adopted
tbo federal constitution, vlzs " To form
a mom perfect union, to establish Jus.
tlee, to lnsuro domestic tranipilllty, to
promoto tbo general welfare, to provldo
for tho common defense, nnd scctiro tho
blessings- of liberty to ourselves nnd our
posterity." M'o sincerely bellevo that
the government of tho United Slates,
administered as It was in former days,
with a direct view to tbo advancement
of theso principles, would do for u? nnd
for nur children nil that uny people can
reasonably dcslro from tbo political
system under which they live. Wo nro
equally suro that If not carried out In
tho spirit of thoso by whom It was
framed It must bocomo n curso Instead
of a blessing. Situated as wo lire, obed
lenco to tbo fundamental law means
not only tho honest performance of
sworn obligations, but freedom, peace
nnd prosperity to nil classes of tbo peo
ple. On tbo other hand, tho usurpation
of Interdicted or undelegated power Is
not only u crime In itseir, but tho fruit
ful parent of oilier crimes, nnd will
lead, ns It has nlready led, to intleflnito
misgoverumcnt, corruption nnd tyran
ny, subverting all liberty, and render
ing tho rights of nil men Insecure.
When wo speak of tbo federal constl.
tutlon, wc mean tbo wholo Instrument.
with nil lis amendments, nnd acknowl
edge tbo equal obligation of every part.
Sovcral of thoso amendments wcro car
ried by bruto forco nnd by frauds upon
tlio public will so glaring as to tako
from their authors nil claim upon our
respect. Iiut wo cannot deny that they
have actually becomo a prfrt of tbo con
stitution ; nor can wo avoid that fact,
or get behind It, by showing tho cor
rupt misconduct of tho men who at that
tlmo controlled Congress ntul mastered
tbo Stato legislature,. Whosoever
swears to support tho constitution must
perform all that Is " nominated in tbo
bond." Any cbango which experience
and reason shall provo to bo dcsirablo
must bo inado In tho prescribed way,
and not by revolutionary or disorderly
means.
THE DECI.AItATION OF 1871,
No candid person will deny that tbo
leading men In power at Washington
havo been unfaithful to their duties.
Tboy have broken tbo pledges they
mado to tho people, and, In reckless dis
regard of their oaths, they havo violat
ed tbo plainest provisions of tbo consti
tution.
They havo deprived tbo Stales of
their sacred right of holf-govcrnmcnt in
matters purely local, nnd disarmed
them of the power to enforce their own
laws for tbo preservation of order with
in their own boundaries.
They havo paved bills of pains nnd
penalties, operating on millions at onco
without regard to lho guilt or iiinocuueo
of tlio parties.
They havo trampled on all the .-.ecur-Itles
of life, liberty and property.
They havo treated tho habeas corpus
law with contempt, and denied tbo
right of trial by Jury.
They have sent out swarms of their
hireling agents, with Instructions to
kidnap, Imprison and kill frco citizens
for political offenses, without Judicial
oceuMition, without warrant, and with
out legal trial.
They havo not only trodden upon tho
great principles embodied in tbo origi
nal constitution ns It eamo from tho
hands of Its frameis, but, even tho
ain.MidmentH, which tboy themselves
interpolated, liavo been broken without
remoiso whenever It ml led their In
terests. In dellancoof tbo XlIIlli amendment
they bnvo doomed many persons to tho
worst kind of "slavery or involuntary
hci'vitudo" lu lho public prison's, with
out tbo pretense of nny "ci itno whereof
tbo party was legally convicted,"
In the face of tbo XlVtb, they bnvo
abridged tbo " equal rights " of whole
masses of while citizens,
Without tho least respect for tho right
of universal suffrage, guaranteed by
tho XVtb, they bnvo interfered both
forcibly nnd fraudulently to prevent
fair elections, and to tet them nIdo
after Ihey were held,
Theso outrages upon Justice, liberty
and l.tw havo been perpetrated, not
during tlio conflict of n civil war not
In moments of wild passion or heated
oxcllement but In cold blood, upon
deliberate retlectlon, in u timo of pro
found pence, In full vlow of tbo cotiao
lticnces, and their authors havo follow
ed out this lino ol policy, step by step,
with a persistency which shows their
fixed determination for tlio future, its
In tho past, to bo bound by no oath and
held by no promise.
Tlio two lust nnd most Important of
their anti-eonstltutlonitl measure show
mora distinctly than others thclrf.cttlcd
design to stranglo the liberties of tho
nation, and take perpetual power Into
their own bands. Tho forco bill until
orl.es tbo I'rebldent, not only lo InvaUo
tlio Slates ut bis pleasure, but by do
during martial law, to subvert nil gov
eminent except whnt consists of his
mere will, Under tho election law bis
cannon Is planted directly against tlio
freedom of Statu elections, Already tbo
bayonets of tho executive havo gleamed
around tho polling places of tho pcoplo
in lho cities of Now York and Thllii'
ilelphla. Wno can mistake tho moaib
lug of theso preparations for tho noxt
presidential election? Who doubts
that warning nnd rebuko are needed
now to piovciit tho administration
from carrying out its purpose by force?
BLOOMSBURG, PA.,
If tbo warnlnsbo not L'lven bvtbo noo-
glo, or fall of Its proper effect, can wo
nopo ror pcaco? It seems to us an or
ror to supposo tho American peoplo
tnmo enough to bo kicked under tbo
yoko of n despotism, or ignorant enough.
to uo juggled out of tho groat Inhorlt-
unco of frco government which tlio
fathers loft them.
UOTTIINNP.SS OF Till! AD.MINIS
TIIATIO.V. Wo complain of our nrc&cnt rulers
for lawless Usurpation of power. Tower
not delegated Is always nbiised. In
Ibis, as lu other cases, usurpation has
been accompanied and followed by cor
ruption. Frauds without number, and
nlmost without limit, havo been com
muted on tbo public. Men of tho worst
character for common honesty nro per
mitted to occupy tlio highest places. Of
tho money collected from tho pcoplo,
and not atolen beforo It reaches tho
treasury, n largo portion Is squandered
by congress on party favorites, or cor
rupt, rings, nnd on base combinations
of public plunderers. Tbo enormous
extent to which this financial corrup
tion nas neon carried will become man
ifest to nny ono who compares tho ex
penditures of tlio government during

THE ISSUES.
It will surely bo admitted that all
American citizens who bellevo thoso
facts to bo truo aro bound by the sacred
obligations of patriotism, honor nnd
conscience to opposo tills, stato of tilings
nnd by opposing end It. Tho persons
Interested In preventing n cliango will
ask bow, to what extent, and by what
means wo proposo to mako reforms.
Tbo question is a fair ono and wo will
answer It briefly. It will bo tbo duly
of tho democratic party and, to tbo ex-
tent or our authority, original or dele
gated,, wo hereby pledgo ourselves and
our associates, so far as in us lies
1. To put tho ship of Stato onco ngaln
on her constitutional tack and bold her
bead firmly and steadily to that course.
i. to protect individual citizens of
all parties, classes and creeds In tho
enjoyment of life, liberty, properly,
reputation and mo pursuit of their law
ful business, by nu Impartial adminis
tration of Justlco In tbo ordained and
established courts.
!1. To preserve tho powers of tbo gen
eral government in their wholo consti
tutional vigor as our solo defenso against
foreign aggression, tbo safest bond of
union between difi'orent sections of tho
country and tlio only suro promise of
general pi asperity.
I. To maintain, unimpaired, the re
served rights of tho States, not only bo
eiuiso they are guaranteed by tlio federal
constitution, but because tho Slates
alono can wifely bo trusted with tho
management of their own local con
cerns.
r. To reduce tlio expenditures of tho
government by confiuing its appropria
tions to logltlmnto objects, by a rigid
system of accountability and economy
and by abolishing much of tile unneces
sary nnd pernicious machinery with
which 11 Is now encumbered.
(i. To moderato tbo burdens of the
people, not only by economical admin
istration, but by a system of taxation
upon foreign Imports ns well us domes
tie productions which eh ill bo Just and
equal In lis operation upon lho property
and business of tho country, not enrich
ing somo while it Impoverishes others,
ami not open to tho frauds now habitu
ally practiced.
7. To preservo tbo ublic credit by
tlio prompt.payment of tbo public obli
gations. 8. To consecralo tho public lands to
tho uso of tbo landless peoplo who need
It by n system which will secure a sulll
ciency to all, and slop nt onco tbo long
.series of swindles by which so many
millions of acres havo been given nway
to thoso who nlready havo more than
enough.
These aro somoof tlio dutlos which
lie beforo tho pooplo If they dosl.-o to
fceo their government administered witlt
a decent respect Tor. tbo constitution of
their fathers or with tolerablo honesty

The Plan of tlio I'oimiiunlsls to Destroy
l'nrli.
IV.ris shnll not exist If Parla.tloes not
belong to tho Commune. Such was
their hellish resolve, and tboy proceed
ed to carry out their threat of destroy
ing tho capital whlch.thoy could not ro
tain. They sot to work ln threo dis
tinct ways. In tho palaces nnd public
offices which they commanded they
disposed, nt regular Intervals, some
times bottles, 'sometimes potsof licjrolo
urn. When tho vessels of petroleum
wero arranged at proper distances, ono
of them would bo overturned nnd Ig-
tilled ; tho flames would rapidly spread
nnd tbo wholo building would soon bo
past salvation. It was in this that the
Tullcries, the Palais Itoyal, tbo Hotel
do Vlllo, tho l'alaco of tho Legion of
Honor, nnd other celebrated public
edifices waro set in flames.
Thlsnrrangomcnt was all mado lu tho
ministry of marine, but tho wretclios
engaged In tho work of destruction bnd
to fly beforo they could sot firo to tbo
pots of potroloum, which they hnd
planted In lho most likely corridors.
There was a second method adopted for
mo destruction of prlvnto bouses.
When It became necessary to rctlro
from a particular barricade, tho guards
toro to pieces the bod which formed
part of tho barrlcado ; took tho tow out
bf tho beds, dipped It In petroloum,and
loaded meir guns with It. Then they
fired tho tow Into tbo windows of the
houses. It was In this way that tho
block of houses In tho Ituo Royale, fac
ing tbo Madolrlne, was sot on firo.
Still n third method : men and wo
men wero going nbout Paris with hot
ties of petroleum In their pockets, or
bid about their dresses. They throw
theso bottles down Into the ground
floors of every dwelling they could get
at. If thcro was no room for tho bottle
to get through, tho neck of the bottle
could get into certain nlr boles which
belong to tho construction of French
houses ; tbo liquid would bo poured In,
nnd a lighted match would bo sent in
after It. In this way very many prlv
nto houses wcro set In flames; and
many hundreds of womcu.wcro taken
in tho act nil day somo of them shot
upon the spot.

A gentleman of Joncsburg, Mo., re

extraordinary occurrcnco which took
place a short tlmo since In the Indian'
Nation. A Choctaw Indian, having
committed a wilful murder, was arrest
ed, tried and sentenced to bo shot to
death. Ilo asked for twenty days ln
which lo prepare and visit bis friends,
giving his word and honor as a "biavo"
to return nt tho nppolntcd time, nnd
was nllowcd to go without a guard or

iVt tho expiration of twenty' days,
according to appointment, tho hour for
tbo-exccutlon arrived, nnd tho Indian,
truo to his word, nt tbo very hour nnd
minute, galloped up to tho plapo whero
the scnteneo was to bo carried ont, in
company with threo of his sislcrs nnd
threo of hit brothers, all appearing as
cheerful ns though they hnd como lo a

brought on 'flu ground, but somo ono
remarked that it was too small upon
which ono of tbo doomed Indian's
brothers (old him lo Ho down in It and
measure, which ho cheerfully did. nnd
nughliigly said, "It fits all right." Tho
crowd meanwhile appeared to boln tho
most cheerful spirits, and cracked Jokes
mm luugiicii., vt last, when nil was
ready, tho doomed man was ordered to
sit on the ground. A handkerchief was
then placed over his eyes by his sister,
Wbilo tbo sheriff held ono hand, one of
tno condemned Indian's brothers held
tbo other Tho Deputy Sheriff then
stood in on old house, about ton steps

From somo cnuso tlio ritio went off nc-

then made over bis heart, with spittle

Deputy Sheriff reloaded his rifle, and
at a signal ho took steady aim, fired,
and pierced tho contro of tbo mark
The Indian, with a few struggles, fell
back dead, with tlio brother nnd Sheriff

to bo In tho least nfl'eeted except the
Indian's mother, who shod tears, but
was told to "shut up" by her Bon, that
all wasover.
What im-tlio Yours iif JVIcrl
Tho Italians havou tradition that no
Popo will ever Hvo to boo tho years of
St. Peter. How or whon this saying or-
fgltiated, or on what ground it stands,
It is, perhaps, unnecessary tostop to in
quire ; but certain it is that tho proph
ecy hns been verified, so far. For more
thnn eighteen centuries not ono of St.
Peter's two hundred nnd fllty-elgbt suc
cessors bn3 reigned so long as be.
llutnt last, Plus IX, wo nro told, has
broken lho spell of ngos ; ho hns seen
"the years of Peter." This Is growing
to bo a popular fallacy, which wo deem
proper to arrest. Tbo present Popo has
reigned twenty-fivo years, and this fact
naturally and logically Interpreted,
would Imply that the first Popo reigned
twenty-llvu years also, and no more.
This Is historically Incorrect. Simon
Har-Jonn, whoso namo was changed to
that of Peter by our Lord, entered upon
his ofileo as Popo, a. i. 33, Immediately
on Christ's nscmition, and closed bis
olllce, by 'martyrdom, A. I). 07, thus
reigning thirty lime years. Tho first
two years of hls.relgii Peter spent nt
Jerusalem, cblelly ; in A. D,' ,'tt ho went
lo tho clly of Ant loch, In Asia Minor,
wticio no remained ror seven years,
wncn no removed, A. D, I-, to Homo. In
which clly his boo was permanently
ll.xed.
From A. 1). 12 lo A. D. 07 Is twenty-
flvo years, and this Is tbo number of
years that St. Peter reigned in Jlome.

tho heart of tho stoutest. Tbo company
headed by Mr. Robinson, rushed up,
scattered tho Indians from Emperor's
back und led him nway. Ho manifest
ed delight at finding himself again
among friends, by repeatedly caressing
his keeper with his trunk. Ills body
was found to bo coyered with wounds,
from which blood flowed In streams;
over 100 arrows wcro sticking in Ills
body; tbo first proceeding was to ox
tract tho arrows, aud then staunch tho
flow of blood, which being done, hu
was enabled with great difficulty, to get
back to camp. Amid tho confusion it
was impossible to ascertain how ho be
came loosened from his placo of confine
ment, but upon examining tho chain It
was found to bo regularly uulocked,
showing tho. agency of somo mischief,
maker; nud upon strict inquiry, It was
ascertained tlrat n party of young war
riors, noticing how gcntlo and harmless
tho elophant was, concluded to have n
mcnagerlo procession of their own ; and
whllo some unlocked tbo chains, fivoor
six leaped on bis back and two moro
wulkcd on each sldo and steered him
along, and thus tho cavalcado started
for tho Indian quarter of tbo lown, in
tending no doubt, to crcato a big sensa
tion among their brothreni which they
certainly did, though -with results far ill f
crent from what was anticipated, for on
reaching tho first long row of wigwams
Emperor dlscoverod ono Hint was Just
covered with long, sweet pr.tirlo grass,
and thrust out his trunk fur a mouthful, ,
when tho wholo top gave way, and out
burst tho frightened inmates with ter
rific t creams, which also seared tho ele
phant. Tho Indians becoming alarmed
for tho safety of their wigwams, began
goading him with knives und spears,
whllo 100 torches wero Hashed upon tbu
scene, producing tlio very object they
wero trying to prevent for it only con
fused and blinded tho elephant while
the torturoof his wounds rendered him
almost frantic with rago aud terror to
such n degree that bo rushed madly for
ward, dealing destruction on nil sides ;
and it would bo difficult tu tell which
party cxprossod tho most satisfaction lu
parting from each other's society In
dians or elephant.
Finding Fault ulth JIluMei-s.
Thero aro many persons whoso rellg.
ion consists in finding fault with min
isters. Nor aro tboy nil of (bo world,
Somo church-members think this ono of
tho privileges of their profession. And
us Satan desired to sift Simon as wheat
so they sift tlio character and life of their
minister. Every word ho speaks and
every act ho performs, In prlvalo nn.l
in public, nt homo and abroad, must bu
weighed in their balance, ami if be Is
found wanting, tboy must post up tbo
Church and tho world lu reference to
his defects and Infirmities. This part
of religion must boattendod to by some
one, "All members havo not tho tamo
olllce," And as thoy have n peculiar
taste, if not talent, fur finding fuult,aud
no relish for anything more spiritual,
tboy nro faithful ln pointing out his
real and Imaginary defects. And thus
they savo blm from that woo which
Christ said rested on ministers when nil
men epoko well of them. Jiicionryf.
