Saturday Morning, i : May 11, 1872,
The Democratic National Executive Com
mittee met in New York on last Wejneso'ay
nnd decided that the Democratic National
Convention should meet at Biltiraore on
Tuesday the Otb 3y of July next.
Fifty delegates, representing the Labor
Jleform party of ibis State, met in Conven- j
tion at ilhamsport. on Tuesday last, and
nominated Wm. P. Scbell, Er-q., of Bedford,
for Governor. Ex-Senator Billingfelt, of Lan
caster, for Auditor General, and lion. James
Thompson, the present Chief Justice, for
Judge of the Supreme Court.
Tub name of II. G. Smith, Esq., editor
of the Lancaster Intelligencer, will be pr
s ah ted to the apptcaching Democratic State
Convention as one of the delegates at large
to the Constitutional Convention. From our
very intimate personal knowledge of Harry
Smith we can bear testimony t&his eminent
fitness far the position, and would be much
gratified to see him occupy a seat in the Cm
ventioo. lie is a high toned, honorable
gentleman, a man of acknowledged ability,
and would make a useful and ifficient mem
ber of that important body. We hope that
he will go through without a shadow of op
position. W have received the call of the Chairman
of the Democratic County Committee, fixing
Saturday, Hay 25th. as the day for holding
the delegate elections and the Monday fol
lowing for the assembling of the convention,
but a considerable opposition ' has been
manifested by many prominent democrats
in rsgird to so hasty a proceeding, especially
as it is alleg&d that the County Committee
his not been consulted on the surject. we
rtfraio from publishing the call. Neverthe
less, we advise democrats to be prepared to
obey the summons, lest do change be made,
as we are free to say there ought to be, in
the time or holding the couvention, which is
too early by at least on mon.h.
The Clnclannfl nominations.
On yesterday week the republican anti
Grant convention which met at Cincinnati
nominated IJoback Gbkklit for President
and Bsnjaiiim Gratz Brown for Vice Pres
i leut. The name of Horace Greeley is famil
iar to every man iu the country, and, for
that matter, to every woman also, "without
regard to race or color." As the editor of
tie New Yoik Tribune, he has acquired a
national reputation That he his been a
bitter partirao all admit, while at the same
time his personal integrity has never been
quwtloued. With bis associate on the tick
et, Mr. Brawn, although a gentleman of
prominence in the south-weft, the people are
not so well acquainted. He was born hi
Lfxiogton. Kentucky, in 1826, studied law
and removed to St. Lmis in 1853, where as
a democrat he identified himself with the
political fortunes of Missouri's great states
man, Thomas H. Benton. Like legions of
other active and prominent democrats in all
tacticss of the country, lie left the democrat
ic party en the celebrated and unfortunate
Kansas quetku that devil's rock in the
ta of democratic politics. He was several
times a member cf the Missouri L'gislatute
and W4i elected to the United States Senate
iu 1868. He came prominently before the
country two years ago a a the candidate cf the
auli-Graot republicans for Governor of his
State. Hit well known liberal views, cou
pled with his avowed opposition to certain
j.roscriplive claiifcs which the radical party
Lad incorporated in the new coLotitution ol
Missouri, rendered him an acceptable candi
date to the democrats of the State, who gave
hia a cordial sujport ai,d elected him to the
to he now holds by the overwhelming ma
jority of 42.000.
Tt have a few words to say in reference
to what we conceive to be the true position
if the democratic party in viaw of the nomi
unions made by the Cincinnati convention,
la the fin', p'ace, we assume as a fact, tl at
tbsre is ut a democrat from Maine to Cali
fornia who is not ready and willing to make
any reasonable sacrifice of party pr'nld aud
eoits'utsncy in order to overthrow and drive
from power the present corrupt dyuas'y at
Waclrngton. A Democratic National Cou-
ant ion is the true and only regularly cou
ttituted organ or body to speak aud act in
Veha'fof the democratic organization, and
vhtu it does so act its decrees ought to be
. irrevocable in the contest then pending as
the iaws of the Medes and Persians. Every
member of the party ought to be bound by
its decisiors, from which there should be uo
appeal. It tprak the voice of the whole
party, aud in uo other p ib'e way can its
i.atoaotiy and ors;aniziliou be maintained.
If. therefor, when the Democratic National
C-uventin assemb'es cn the 9ih day cf

and Vice PrrsiJeiiey, that decision should

Charles R. Cnckalcir.
We tske the following article from last
Monday's issue of the Lancaster Intelligencer.
From its tone and language, it is very evi
dent that when the editor declares that Mr.
Buckalew will accept the nomination for
Governor, if tendered to him by the Demo
cratic State Convention, he speaks by the
authority of that gentleman himself. We
fully concur in all that the Intelhg ncer says
or can say in reference to the ability and
high personal character of Charles It. Buck
a'ew, both of which are universally conceded.
We feel well satisfied, however, that General
Cats is the choice of the democracy of this
county and that our delegate to the conven
tioa will vote for him. A very grave and
weighty responsibility rests on the Heading
convention, and we can only hope and pray
that it will prove itself fully equal to the oc
casion. There has been a very general repression
throughout the State in favor of the selectiou
of Cliatles 11. Buckalew, as the Democratic
candidate fur Governor. Kepeated tumors
that he would refute to accept a nomination
have uot been sufficient to repress theiiaitg
aeutimtnt of the people, liis eminent fit
ness for the position, his complete freedom
from every improper or entangling alliance,
his unimpeachable record ia office, his de
votion to political reform, bis great public
services and his spotless private life have
made his name familiar to the people of
Pennsylvania, and caused him to be univer
sally itspecied and admired. In Mr. Buck
alew the Democracy would h ive a candidate
who would prevent a complete contrast-to
the mu put forward by the ring which
gagged the republican State Convention and
forced through the arbitrary decrees (hat had
been made in advance by a corrupt clique.
What the presentation cf such a contrast
would he worth in the way of votes may be
judged from the fact that independent Re
publican uewspapers have openly declared
that thousands of Republican would vole
tor Mr. Buckalew, it lie should be nominated,
and that mmy more would tefuse to vote
for Ilartranft- Iu Lancaster county hundreds
of ltepublicaus have already boldly avowed
that they would cheerfully support Mr.
Buckalew iu preference to the nominee ol
the infamous Treasury Ring. They kuow
Mr. -Buekulew's ncord, they kuow him to
Le capable, pure, aud beyond the reach cf
any cotruptiug rgeucics. They would gladly
vole for htm wneu the nomination of some
one not so well and so favorably known
would lead them first to doubt aud finally
tt support Hartraiilt. No cand.d.ite who
has heon naiuvd could poll more Democratic
votes thau Mr. Buckalew, aud nooue would
receive oue-ihiro the support which honest
Uepublicaus would f reely teuder to h im. We
should regard hid nctniuation as equivalent
t) au election, and there it not a Democrat
who does not fel and kuow the atsotuts
importance of c-trrying this State in October.
Would Mr. Buckalew accept the nomina
tion t
To that importaut question we are pre
paied to give an bPaitnative answer. If
itie ni.u.ia itlou be tendered to Charles II.
Buckalew with a proper degiee of uuanimity
he cannot and will not decline. His positiou
i's briefly this: He does uot desiie the office,
and ha would only accopt its responsib. lilies
and caics uudr the influence of a sense of
duty to the party which has so ofteu honoted
him and the people of the State who are so
fully disputed to trust him. Should the
nomination for Governor be tendered to him
with a proper degiee of unanimity he will
not decline.
TLe way totuccsssin the October election
lies open beh.re ihe Democracy of Pennsyl
vania. Wilh Charles It. Buckalew tt their
candidate fur Governor, nuh Chief Justice
Thompson, renominated, and with some man
of sterling inttgnty for Auditor Gcuetal. a
splendid victory is assured. If the delegates
to the Keating Cjuveotiou come together
prepaied to skci ihee personal considerations
lor the public giod ; if they act calmly,
wisely ami conscientiously, ll.ey will render
certain the ro:emptiou ot thisState from the
corrupt Lands which uow control its govern
ment. Gbant and GttEti.T The courteous way
in which Mr. Greeiy's nomination has leeu
received shows tne respect that his personal
Character has won auiong political oppo
neuis. Only the mosi direct organs if the
administration spit its venom, aud that is
haimless. Mr. Greely has maintained thro'
a bfo of political activity and the vicissitudes
of busiucss, the character cf an honrst man.
lie ha i.svrr been charged with selfish ptr
soual scheming, nor has he been the eay
tool of disbouvst poiiliciaus. Here he
ceitaiuly contiasis favorably with the other
candidate of his party. Take away from
General Grant his good foitune that brought
him iuto military command at a moment
suited to his abilities, aud there is uothing
let's i f him. A a General, uo oue asumed
that he could supply by his own genius the
lack of numbeis, uor does his carser afford
a single evidence of intellectual capacity.
Oue great oppoituuity he had, and many
even of his oppoueuts thought he would im
proTe it. He might have restored a pure and
elevated tone to the administration of the
government. Ha might have shown the
straight-forward htwiesty aud simplicity thai
the Ameiicau people have always teen ready
to ascribe to the military character. But
the petty, selfi-h. greedy piiit of his admiu
istratiou has dugusted and alienated all the
honest men ot his party. His political
backers are the most u'isboutst and corrupt
wire-pullers iu the country. He is the firt
President who has been implicated in dis
creditable j ibs. He has imitated none of
Ids predecessors iu the While House, except
it he M:s. Lincolu ; for she was the first
present-taker, and offered her spoils for sale,
to the difj'.ust of the nation. Certainly, so
long as th comparison of candidates lies
between Grant and Greely, few would hesi
tate to piefer the latter on any censideration
of civil txperieuce, general ability, or per
sonal character. Aye.
Tjik detpairing editor of a Petersburg
(Va ) paper makes the following character is
tic summary : A man from Maiue has our
post t dice, a Yciuxmt tnau represents us in
Congress, a fellow fiom Pennsylvania is our
street commissioner, our commissioner of
revenue is a Massachusetts man, a fellow from
Philadelphia is j tiler, iho chief of poiico is a

The Cincinnati Plat farm.
Below will bo found the resolutions or
platform adopted by the republican anti
Grant convention recently held at Cincin
nati. Whatever difference of opinion may
exist in reference to the wisdom of the nomi
nations made by that body, there ean be but
one sentiment in regard to the soundness and
unexceptionable character of the platform.
It has met with the warm and in qualified
approval of the democratic press throughout
the entire country, which is the very high
est commendation- it conld receive. An un
prejudiced democrat, after having rcjd these
resolutions, will chccifully admit that they
are straight forward and unequivocal, and
that while they come up rquarely to the po
litical demands of the living present, they
wisely refrain from agitating the absolute
issues of the dead past. Hsrethty are in full:
We. the Liberal Republicans of the United
States in National Convention assembleJ at
Cincinnati, proclaim the loMowiiig principles
essential to just government :
First. We recognize the equality of all
men before the Inw.and hold that it is the duty
of government in its dealings with the people
to mete out equal and exact j :stice to all, of
whatever nativity, race, color or persuasion,
reli:i"us or political.
Second. We pledge ourselves to maintain
the Union of there Stnlcs. emancipation and
enfrar hiserrent, and to ppos'e any reopening
of the qucsiiotis settled tv tlie thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth amendments of the Con
stitution. Third. We demand the immediate and al -fiolt'te
removal of all uisablil ities imposed on
account of the re'.ellion, which s finally
subdued seven je.ir ago. believing that uni
teis.il amnesty will i ecu It in complete pacifies
tion in all sections of the country.
Fowth. Local self government, wi'h im
partial suffrage, will guard the rijht cf all cit
izens more securely than any centralized pow
er. The public welfare r qui: es the supremacy
of the civil over the military Autlioiily, and
freedom of person under the protection of the
habeas corpus. We demand for the individual
the 1 irgest liberty o nM3trnt wilh public order,
for the State self government, and for the na
tion a leturn to the metnod of peace and the
constitutional limitation of power.
Filth The Civil Set vice of the government
has become a ireie instrument of raitran
tvrannv and pertonal ambition, and an objer t
of selfish greed. It is a sc.iudal nnd reproach
upou free ii.stitut ions, and biceds a den orali
zation dangerous to the perpetuity of Ilepubli
can government. We therefore, regard a thor
ough reform of ihe Civil Service as one of the
most pressing neccsi-hiea of the hour; that hon
estr. capacity and fidelity cot stitute the only
valid claims to public emjloj ir.ent; thai the
offices of the government ccae to be a matter
of arbitrary favoritism arid patronage, ami that
public station I ecome again a post of honor.
To this end it is Imperatively requited that no
President shall be a candidate for re ejection.
Sixth. We demand a. m stem of Federal tax
ation which thai! not unnecessarily inter lere
with the industry of the people, and which shall
rruvide the means necessary to pay the expen
ses of the government economically adminis
tered, pensions, the interest of the public debt,
and a moderate reduction annually of the prin
cipal thereof, ard recogtoz og that there are
in our midst honest but irreconcilable dilf'eren
ces of opinion with regard to the ie-pec;ie
systems of protection and fice trade, we remit
the dicusiiin of the su'ject to the pcfople iu
their Congressional dittiicis au I to the decision
of Congieis theieon. wholly tree of Executive
interleience and dictation.
Seventh. The public credit must be sacred
ly maintained, and we denounce repudiation in
every form and guise.
Kighth. A speeJy return to specie payment
is demanded alike by the highest consideration
of commercial morality and honest govern merit.
Jtinth. We remember with gratitude the
heroism aud sacrifices ol the soluieis and sail
ors of the republic, and no act of ouis shall
ever detract from their justly earned lame or
the lull rewards of their patriotism.
Tenth. We ate opposed to all further grants
of lauds to railroads or other corpor uious.
The public Uotuaiu should be sacred to actual
settlers.
Eleventh. We hold that it is the duty of
the government in its intercourse with loreign
n.uioi s to cultivste the friendship of" peace by
treating with all on fair and equal terms, re
garding it alike dishonorable either to demand
wh.t is not light, or to submit to what is wrong
Twelfth. For tho promotion and success of
thefe vital principles, aud the support ot the
Candidates nominated bv this Couvention, we
invite and coidially welcome the co-operaiiuti
of all patiiotic citizen wi'.bout regard to pre
vious political cfii'.iatioii.

muscular power of the action is such as to
knock your "bunch of Cvas" vigorously
away ! He has two sets of ribs, one over the
other. He can cause a revo'ving motion in
his bowels, and if the baud be ut thereon it
will realize the powerful action going on!

The late terrible earthquake at Antiocli.
and the more recent, indeed still pending, de
struction of towns aud villages at the base of
Vesuvius, are two singular illustrations of the
blind tenacity with which mtn cling to the
j most dangerous localities. For centuries An-
ttoch has suffered from the devastating e fleets
of earthquakes, nud Yecuvius has, at varying
periods lor many hundreds of years, buried
aud burned the cities, towns and hamlets
reared within reach of its terrible crater.
Yet men have gone ou rebuilding as though
earthquakes were not aud Yesuvius were a
mouutaio dtspeusing life and health instead
of destiuctiod aud death in the tru st terrible
form. Why men thus battle with untoward
fate, which in the end is sure to overwhelm
them, it ia difficult to venture even a guess.
That Antioch will be rebuilt, and new cities
spring up ia the shadow of Yesuvius is,
however, as certain sa anything ia the future
can be. Phila. Inquirer.

TEUiba r Ballooning. Pn-f. D naldson
had a rough time of it at Chillicothe. Ohio,
recently. A strong wiud canied his balloon
against the eud of a drug store while lie wan

himself to tnet the shock, throwing out his
feet, which struck tho side of the house aud
turned him completely over oc hia traprze

the chimney, knocking half of it off, and
bruising and wouudiog him to such an ex

feats. The bricks in falling to the pave

chimney becoming so painful that ho was

The Ikon Fauink. The present high
price of iron hag produced great excitement
among the dealers in that commercial com
modity. Pig iron, which uot oversix mouths
ago sold slowly for $35 per ton, Dow brings
$50 to $55 per ton ; whtlo nails hava ad
vanced $1.50 to $2 per keg, and everything
manufactured out of iron has advanced near
ly 50 per cent. It ii said that an irou fam
ins has set in. not only in this country, but
in Europe, and that it will take several years
to settle prices j-trmanently. Those, there
fore, who are ia the businesa had better keep
their eyes open.
