He- : publican impudence has always boasted of its friendship for the soldier, and has just as jiorsistcntly denounced the Dem ocratic party as lt-ing the soldier's j enemy. What Messrs.

Kem ble has always insisted that as he views it his connection with the riot bill amounted merely to "log-rolling.' which he regards as a perfectly legitimate and harmless amusement, and that what the new constitution defines as bribery and corruption is and always has lteen so prevalent among lucmlxTS of the Legis lature that it cannot le prevented, and that the notion of punishing him and the other log-rollers" of the riot bill for wh.it they did was never dreamed of by such men as Judge Flack, Uuckalew, Cnrtin, and other prominent mendiers of the const it ut ional convention.

When Allen entered Congress Jackson was President and a feeling of warm personal friendship sprung up lietween them which lasted through life. Mr. Allen afterwards served two terms in the Senate, during the administrations of Van Ihiren, Tyler and Polk, and ac quired a high reputation as a speaker in the debates on the sub-treasury law and the Oregon loundary question. After he retired from the Senate, in 1S4'.1, he remained in private life until he was elected Governor of Ohio in 1ST:!. Vo public man in this country ever lett be hind him a purer or more unsullied re cord than William Allen. He was not only an honest man. but w hat is so rare in this degenerate age, he was an honest politician. I r will be en by the call issued by the ('hail man of the County Committee, Isewhere published, that the Committee is notified to meet at the Court House on Tm .'o. the oth of .lcsf. This call is a matter of absolute necessity, owing to the fact that the late county convention allowed its official existence to be brought to a final termination w ithout nominating a county ticket. It is unnecessary for us agaiu to discuss the failure of the convention to perform the duty impose,! uioii it, athe Democ racy of the county have read its pro. ceedings and fully understand them. It is the first case of a failure to nominate a ticket that has ever occurred in the history of the Democratic party in this county, an 1 for that reason the meeting of the Committee w iil be of such unusual imixirtance tint i very mcml-cr ought to Ik induced to attend. It is very incon venient, we know, for the members to .-p nd a day at t he county sc at on sm h a mission, but occasions w ill happen, and this is one of them, when all considera tions of personal loss must deld to the demands of party necessity. The late convention died, as we have said, by its sinf i' i adjournment, and neither the County Committee nor any other iwer can breathe into it a renewal of ol'icial life. This leing plain and palpable to every man w ho will rcllcct for a moment upon the matter, there is but one course lor the Committee to adopt, and that is to order its chairman to direct another delegate election and another county -convention.

S. Watson, of Wil liamsjiort, was elected Chairman of the State. Committee and a platform, ac companied with various extemporaneous resolutions, was adopted. One of the resolutions denounces the "tramp act"' passed by the last Legislature, another denounces Hoyt for his veto of the store order bill, and a third one protests against any coalition of (Ireenback county or municipal organizations with either of the other political parties. For some unexplained reason. Francis W. Hughes, of Pottsville, by far the ablest (ireenback leader in the State, did not attend the convention. It re mains now to lc seen, during the pro gress of the campaign, whether M. S.
