TO THE DEMOCRACY OF COLUMBIA COUNTY.
As the time for our general election is near
at band, it becomes our duty to the Demo
cratic party and to our candidates to ad
dress you a few words of encouragement and
advice. It needs but an active and resolute
effort to succeed. Every State around us
encourages us to win. The Democracy of
Columbia county havo never wavered in
their devotion, and we now call upon them
lor renewed exertion.
It is no time to pause, as the time is short.
The Committeemen and Vigilance Commit
tees should meet at once, layout their work,
and see that every Democratic vote is polled,
Let no man wait or depend upon another.
One grand effort and Pennsylvania will be
once more in tho hands of Democrats who
do not belong to Rings,and our State Treas
ury will be in honest hands, and our State
accounts will be honestly audited, so that
even our Republican, friends wil rejoice.

doubtless remember that instead of paying
them in specie which the covernment con

and growth of representative institution.

auguries for the fiitiirivind ubovc nil, on tho
resolute purpose of the young men of our
country that therepublloshall be completely
re-tored and reestablished according to its
nrltrlnal ideas. (App.ausc.)
The contrast which strikes the American
eye between tho British Ules and our own
country in the supply of food and especial'y
cereals ought to bo the basis of profitablo ex
changes and inestimable benefactions. Tho
wants of our British cousins already en
ormous will rapidly increase. They grow
not only wltu population, out uy an incess
art diversion of labor toward tho most pro
fitable emnlovments. Our means of mpply
aro boun lless. Wo bave immense nreas of
fertile soils, cheap, peculiary fitted for tho
tio of aurlcultural machinery nnd connected
with tho centres of foreign commerce by
great rivers, by vast inland seas and by 75,
000 miles of railway. We have o sun in our
heavens which in tbe season of agricultural
growth pours down daily floods of light and
warmth, makinrr the earth prolific, civini;
abundance and variety of fruits, aisuring the
wheat crop, yielding cotton in us zone nuci
ripening corn everywhere, even to the vergo
of tho larthest north. 1 predict a great in
crease in the consumption of our corn by
Great Britain over tho GO.000.000 bushel'
which it reached last year. It Is the most
natural and spontaneous of our cereal pro
tlucta. Our present crop ought to bo l.COO.1
000 bushels, against 300,000,000 buohels of
wheat. It is but little interior to wueat 111
nutritive power. It costs less than one-half
on the farm. It can be cooked,by those who
consent to learn how, into many delicious
forms of human food. Why should not tbe
British workmen bave cheaper food? Why
shonld not our larmers have a ureat market?
Why should not our carriers bave transpor
tation ?
Let us remember that commercial ex
change must have some element of mutuality.
Whoever obstructs tho means ot payment
obstructs also the facilities of Bale. Wo must
relax our barbarous revenue system so as not
unnecessarily to retard tbe natural processes
nf trade. Wn must no longer legislate (mains t
the wants of humanity and the beneficence
ol Uod (Applause.)
Tho election now impending involves the
choice of the Btate officers who compose the
administrative boards. Governor Kobinson s
administration has been characterized by
incorruptible inteL'ritv.bv wisdom and abili
ty,and by unswerving fidelity to tbe reforms
that have reduced tho Btate taxes one-half ;
that are rapidly extinguishing the state debt;
that have retrenched two and a half millions
a year of the expenditures upon public works
and bave purified our great official trusts.
(Applause.) He needs and has a right tn
have tho cordial co-operation ol those otu
cers. which, in tho covernment of tho United
States and other systems, form the cabinet
of the chief executive. In my judgment the
gentlemen in nomination will co-operate in
the reform policy which I had the honor to
inaugurate, and which Governor Robinson
is consummating. I think that their election
and the changes that will take place from
tho constitutional amendments adopted in
1876, will give him a more united support in
the canal board than I was able to receive
durine my administration.
A voice, "your'e right there." (Cheers.)
I nave the more satisiacuon in avowing
this conviction because I believe that any
nominations that did not promise such co
operation would be disowned by the demo
cratio masses. (Applause.)
The election, althoueh for state officers
has relations to national politics, to which I
know you will expect me to allude. (A
voice, Uf coureo goon.") Ihecoudem
nation bv the people of the createst politl
cal crime in our history, by which the result
ut the presidential election of 1876 was set
aside and reversed, is general and over
whelming. (A voice "We re sick of it.
Applause.) Her sister states might afford
to have the voice of New York frittered
away or its expression deferred. It could
not alter the universal judgment of the
civilized world ; it could not avert the moral
retribution that is impending. But New

unheard.

Mr. Tildcn I did not get robbed the
people got robbed. 1 bad on the one hand
a laborious service in which health and even
life itself might be periled ; or, on the other
hand, I had a period of relaxation. But
to the peoplo it was a robbery of the dearest
rights ot an American citizen, (ureatap
plause. )
The Declaration of independence, the bill
of riehts and the state constitutions all con
tain assertions of the right of tho peonlo to
govern themselves and to change their rul
ers at win. ineso declarations had ceased
to have any meaninzto the American mind
They seemed to be truisms which there was
nobody to dispute. Tbe contests Known to
us were contests between different portions
ot our people.
To comprehend tbe significance of these
declarations it is necessary to carry ourselves
bade to the examples ot human experience
in view of which our ancestors acted. They
had seen the government machine and a
small government class, sometimes with the
aid of the army, able to rule arbitrarily over
millions or unorganized, isolated atoms ol
human society. In forming the covernment
of United States they endeavored to take
every precaution against the recurrence 0
such evils in this country. They kept down
the standing army to a nominal amount,
(Cheers.) They intended to limit the func

the leader of liberal opinion, in his fin-t in
augural, recognized this theory. Hamilton,
the representative of the extreme conserva
tivo sentiment, in the Federalist, expounded
it with elaborate argumeuts Madison, the
father of the constitution, enforced these
conclusions.
Tho increoso of power in tho federal govern

(Cheers.)
If this tendoncy is not arrested its inevita
bio result will be tho practical destruction
of our system. Let tho federal government
grasp powor over too gcat corporations ol
our country and acouire the means of ad
dressing their interests and their fears : let it
take jurisdiction of riots which it :s tho duty

Judgo Strong's Letter.
Tho following remarkable letter addressed
by Justice Strong to the Hon, George W.
Jones of Tennessee was sent by the latter to
the New York San in which it appeared 011
Tuesday :
Wabiiinoton, Feb. 20, 1877. The Hon.
uecrge n. Jones my uear em : I was a
Demociat when you and I wero together in
Congress. I am a Democrat now. I hold
to all the opinions tho states rights demo
crats havo always held, and which the ac
knowledged leaders of the party have avow
ed up to the present winter never more
clearly than in 1873 to 1875. "I do not be
lieve that Congress has any constitutional
right to inquire into state elections for slate
electors.
"Congress has of late years interfered quite
too much with the States. The Electoral
Commission has no moro power than Con
gress has, and I think it would be n most
dangerous usurpation wero it to do what tho
States alone have a right to do. even to cure
what I fear was a great wrong of the Louisi
ana returning board.
'I cannot doubt that such will bo your
opinion when you reflect to what the assertion
of such a power would lead. It would placo
the rights of the States.rcspecting the choice
of electors, nt the mercy of the Federal gov
ernment, and be the greatest stride toward
centralization,
IJetter sutler a present evil than open
such a door, better than abandon all tho
time-honored principles of the Democratic
party. I am yours, very rtspectfully,
"W. Stkosu."
It may be gratifying to witness Judge
Strong paying homage to "the time-honored
principles of the Democratic party' whicl
he so deeply betrayed when he was put on
the supreme bench to aid In reversing its
solemn decision on the legal tender act.
But he will not bo permitted again to per
vert those lime-honored principles to justify
hi sharo In the gigantic crime by which the
people were defrauded of their choice of a
President. He confesses "the groat wrong
of the Louisiana Returning Board," and by
his decision in tho electoral commission he
gave that great wrong his sanction though
the commission was formed for the purpose
of ascertaining who was chosen President
and Vice President of the United States.
His pretext for suffering tho perpetration of
the great fraud on the ballot is that its cure
would have been "tho greatest stride to
wards centrllization." Judge Strong was
willing to connive at the present and poten
tial fraud which struck down tho ballot and
deprived a majority of forty million people
of their rights in bis pretended fear of mak
Ing it a precedent for some danger in the
distant future A defrauded people do not
share bis apprehensions,
Judge Strong tolls his old Democratic
friend of Tcnncsseo that it would havo been
a dangerous usurpation of congress to cure
tho great wrong of tho returning board, and
that the commission had no moro power
than Congress, But having concluded that
tho comuibtion had no power to deoido bt
tween tlio two sets of certificates from Louis
iana and Florida lie decided in favor of tho
certificates that covered the rcturniii" board
frauds. Ho averted that Congress and tho
commlbsian could not go behind tho certifi
cate of tho governor of a stato in two cases of
Louisiana and Florida, anil, ho went behind,
tha governor's certificate in the electoral voto
of Oregon. Where then was bis if ard for
tbo timo honored principles of the democrat
to party and bis dread of tho danger of cen
tralization ? It is evident that Judgo Strong's
letter was uever intended for the eyes of the
public ratrUt,

An lvx-Congrcssman's Suicide.
A special dispatch announces that on Wed
nesday the 2-lth ult , Hon. Sobieski Boss, ox
member of Congress, shot himsolf through
tho heart in tho barn near his dwelling at
Coudcrsport, Potter county When found,
shortly thereafter ho was dead. Judgo Ho's
has been in ill health and very despondent
for somo months His tragio death has caus
ed n deep gloom over tho community in which
ho lived.
Sobieski Uoss was a resident of Couriers,
port, whero ho was born May 10, 1823. With
the exception of a single year nt school !n
New Hampshire ho had always residod in
his native town. His oduoUion was limited
to the common school and n cotiplo of years
at an academy Ho was variously employed
as a surveyor, land agent nnd farmer, but for
a number of years past ho had been engaged
in settling a large body of land in several of
tho northern counties ol Pennsylvania. In
ISfll Mr Boss was appointed Associato Judge
for Potter county by Governor Johnson In
1872 Judgo Itoss w.n elected to tho Forty
third Congress, at a Djpublican, rcciving
17,011 votes against 14,627 votes for H. Sher
wood, Democrat. In 1874 ho was rc-clccted
over Henry W. Early, the district having
been changed, by a vote of 10,660 to 9,331
Until tho organization of tho Republican
ptrty Judgo Boss actod Willi the Whigs, but
had since been n thorough Hepub ican. His
friends considered him a succsssful business
man, and ho had devoted considerable time
in la to years to secure a railroad to his nativa
place.
