The ticket nominated on last Tuoaday.
will be found at our mast head. We
have only time for brief mention of the
gentlemen nominated
Levi JfrxaOK.
the is nominee for Sheriff. His nomi
nation will give general satisfaction, hav
ingalways sustain*! a good character.!
and all his life -time been a hard work
ing industrious rnau. As a democrat,
our nominee tor Sheriff, has always been
ardent and unwavering, lie ia qualified
and will fill the office of Sheriff to the
satisfaction of the people.
Audx Williams.
is our nominee for Prothonotarv.
This is an important and responsible
position, and demands qualifications as
well as accommodating manners in the
incumbent. These qualities are found iu
our nominee—all admit that. His repu
tation ii| spotless. As a democrat he is
without guile, and has rendered good
service iu years past to secure the tri
umph of our party. Mr. Williams has
served one term to the entire satisfaction
of all.
Pamkl A. Mi wxn, of Penn.
is our nominee for Treasurer. To have
charge of the public funds is an impor
tant trust. No man upon whose hon
esty suspicion reals should ever be nom
inated to fill so iaiportaut a place. 1 de
faulters have been so numerous of late
years that the people can not be to
guarded in the person chosen to hold
the hard earned monies wrung from
them by taxation. The character of our
nominee is such that there is no room
for fears. He is honest, qualified and
perfectly responsible, and will leave the
office of Treasurer with every cent faith
fully accounted for. Give him a good
vote democrats; he has ever been true.
W. E. BrxcuFiELr.
has been nominated for Register.
This is an office in which our citiaens
have occasion to call often for the trans
action of important business. It re
quires an incumbent who can readily
qualify himself to give information up
on many important subjects connected
with estates, and who should be a good
penman. AU these qualifications are
round in our nominee for Register. He
deserves the warmest support of every
democrat for past services rendered thc
party. The nomination is well be
stowed.
H. A. Mimu-E.
J. X. Hall.
are our nominees for Commissioner.,
They are both men of good business
qualifications, who understand the
wants of onr county. Under their man
agement the affaire of Centre county
will be safe and satisfactorily administer
ed. Honest, callable and democrats of
the purest water, let them have a rous
ing vote.
Mr. Mingle we have krgown intimate
ly for over twenty-five years. He did
not canvass for the office, hut his friends
fixed open him as a fit man lor the
place, on account of his probity of char
acter, his qualifications, and because in
every respect he is eminently worthy.
We are pleased to have our old neigh
bor upon the ticket, and we predict a
heavy vote for him in every locality
where he is known.
WM. A. TOBIAS.
is an excellent nominee for Recorder.
He is a young man of superior qualifica
tions. A good penman, and will put
your documents upon record without a
fault. He is a favorite with all who
know him, and will have an over
whelming majority.
J AS. GILULAXD and A. J. GKKJHT, two
young and active democrats, ofthorough
business habits were nominated for
Auditors.
PIT THEM OCT.— The Philadelphia
democratiee city committee has begun a
crusade against the righteous men who,
while hiding under the banner of the
party, regularly sell it out to the pil
grims and pocket the emoluments and
cash. Every honest and respectable
democrat in Philadelphia would rejoice
to see M'Mullin, Monroe, Josephs and ]
others of that ilk repudiated by the j
managers of the party. It is time the de-!
mocracy meant business in this direc- j
tion. Every man claiming to be a dem-!
ocrat having pilgrim affiliations, should !
be discarded. — Maurh (honk Democrat i
There are other places outside of Phil
adelphia that need a similar ridding
out The democratic party can not ex
pect to gain the confidence of the people
so long as it tolerates rogues in its
ranks.
The most discouraging reports still
continue from Ohio, Indiana and Illi
nois concerning the recent heavy rains.
The most fertile valleys are flooded and
■wept entirely away. The losses re
ported moont high into the millions.
The democrats carried Kentucky last
week by 40,000 majority. There is not
much third-term consolation in that.
Old Useless may smoke it in his pipe.
John Dougherty, of Mt, Union, Prof.
Gass, of Huntingdon, Rev. Cyrus Jeff
ries, and others, met at Mt. Union on
Saturday last and organized a new po
litical party— Tltc Peopled Party ! Thus
it would seem GUSH has made up his
mind to step down and out from the
Republican party.
The sinking fund appears now to be
managed in the interest of the People's
hank. The effort of the democratic par
ty in November will be to turn the fund
over to the control of men who will
manage it in the interest of the people
themselves.
The heavy rains in the West have
proved disastrous to the crops. Four
thousand acres of corn have been de
stroyed in Bdota county, 0., alone.
A disastrous tornado is reported in
and around Toledo, O.
The nominations have not been mad#
altogether to the expectations of the
Perrnsvalley democracy, yet we trust
that discontent will vanish and that to
*he ticket will be given a cordial support. '
The triumph ofp rinciple must be para
mount. *1

the election of a democratic Auditor
General, last fall—thus far Mr Temple
has shown himself the right man in the

the energy and determination of Audi
tor General Temple in collecting the
revenue# of tho state have brought up
the halanee in the general revenue fund
from low than one dollar (when he
came into office Ito $246,099.31 Y ster
day M. Widener, treaanrer of the city of
Philadelphia, paid into the treasury an
additional $lB7 at the same
time other parties swelled the amount
by about $150,000 more, making the en
tire balance at present in the general rev
enue fund about $550,000. Under a Re
ptiblican Auditor General these sums
would most proltahly have remained un
collected with the understanding that
the debtors to the state should assist in
carrying the election for the Republican
ticket. S<t uiueh for a faithful and effi

THt: STATE TREASURERS STIIA T
EG Y.
It will hardly be saying too much to
assert that the contest at the fall election
in this state will be concentrated on the
issues raised by the Radical party by its
opposition to tho investigation of the
State Treasury.
To avoid the perils which this must
create, as well as the danger to the con
tinued existence of this party by its defi
ance of the public will, the State Treasu
rer will resort to that strategy which
military commaudcre adopt to deceive,
mislead, or surprise their antagonists.
j Strategy is often the substitute for
strength, the power of numbers, or the
' ability longer to contend.
That strategy from the State Treasurer
I in so vital a contest for himself and his
party has been expected by every rea j
_ ponable man who has observed (Ju* his- j
| torv thus far of the effort to investigate!
the Treasury of Pennsylvania. Indeed,
it lias been hinted that when the proper
time comes a "coup d'etat" may be look
ed for by which the great abilities for
management of Mr. Mackcy are to be
displayed. In view, therefore, of such
a sudden effort to throw off the odium
which now attaches to the Radical par
ty by reason of its denial to the repre
sentatives of the people the right and
opportunity to aceertain the condition
of so important a department of the
State government as that which receives
and pays out the people's money, it is
proper that the preparation should In
made in advance to meet it.
This is now our purpose. Let it be
always remembered that the House of
Representatives of our Btale Legislature
is the only powefunder the State Con
stitution in which is vested the right to
impeach, ami also originate taxation.
These arc sovereign powers, the highest
functions of a government of ({, people
representing that constituency where
aloue the sovereign power is inherent,
and is only conferred pn the representa
tives of this sovereignty for the protec
tion of the people the wWvps.
The representatives of the people, the ,
1 loam? of Assembly, originated the in-j,
vestigation into the State Treasury, itj,
Was in obedience to the public will as ,
expressed objection, except by the State ,
Treasurer sod 4 few of his political par- ,
ty. No objection mis fsppr been heard |
from any portion of the (n-opti., jfci a (
word has been uttered of dissent from ]
convention, assembly, meeting, or conn- j
ty committee of lfte people of tbis State. t
A cabal of Radical Stat* Senators to pro- j.
tact either their party or their officer did
what they eotlhJ fo prevent the investi
gation. a
The committee of the House of Rep
resentatives authorized to investigate
were prevented, forbidden, denied the
opportunity of performing the duty de
yolved upon it. The State Treasurer
jo permit the committee to dis
charge its .duty.
Remember that this committee began
its effort to investigate the official man
agement of the State Treasurer and de
manded to examine the ImioK* and pa
l<rs of the State Treaanry several
months ago. Pour months after this
effort was made a report of the commit
t#> was presented to the tioveruor and
"the Auditor General, as required by the
command of the Hmwe of Representa
live*.
Now. during these long summer day*,
the State Treasurer ha* Wen engaged in
one of two labor*, either arranging to
protect himsclfor defend Ids part*
We cannot comprehend, tin honest
tax payers w ill never understand wh* so
simple a matter as the showing how
ninth money is in the Treasury, haw
much received, and how much disburs
ed could not he ready for honest examina
tion any day iu the year. Hut it seems
that the Stale Treasurer rvqiiin four
months to prepare for so simple and
plain an inquiry.
This is not idle apeculaliou, for four
mouths ago the Treasurer rejiorted he
had $1.76 of the public money on baud ;
now it is said he has several hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Whose money is
loaned to tuake up a yiino fiteoi ease ?
Surely, the thousands in the "Peoples'
Hank" cannot he a stationer* fund
Taking all this time plainly proves
that arratigmeuta had to be made for "an
investigation." This creates suspicion,
just as the first refusal to permit the in
vestigation proved that the charges were
accepted as true by the confession of the
State Treasurer that he could not submit
to an examination which would demons
strate them to be no.
Now for the strategy. We expect, in
deed, it has been hinted, that some day
in the course of the canvass for the coin
ing election for Governor and State
Treasurer, an offer, un apjsal, or u de
mand will be made by the present State
Treasurer to somebody, to come into his
office and examine ami sec that there is
no defalcation ; that the luottcy of the ,
' public is there ; that the charges are not |
; true ;that the Radical party is free from 1
. censure ;that the State Treasurer is an
abused, persecuted, holiest official.
How this demand will be made or to ;
whom, wedonot know . We believe the
opinion of the jieople, when it is made,
; will be that it is "too late." Months of
preparation for an investigation which j
, a few hours ought to accomplish, forces j
on the public wiud the conviction that j
L the wrongs "sought is made public have i
been in all these months concealed, as'
t murder is sought to be hidden Ly the j
cremation of the murdered individual,
which requires time to effect.
Hut if the demand for an investigation j
should be made, then the people will ttr- \
wmnii that the committee of the House!
only shall iutvu full, free, unrestrained ,
I access to all the books, j wipers, bank ac- j
counts, credits of the ofiicc for the whole
' term of the present State Treasurer. Kv
, cry bank, broker, banking house where '
[ or with w liotu auy of the people's money 1
has lH v en placed must be examined and ,
1 produced before the committee, evi
. dence of the corpus of thg sit. what
was de|oeited, money, clit ■ k, nott>, * >
dere, drafts, or whatever else was taken'
and received by them, and each of thcin.
and how, by w hat kind cf order they
paid out the funds received by them.
The rate of interest paid for the loan
of the public money, the "withdraw -
inent"of the sum u sum* from the:
proper disposition of them in tin* sink j
ing fund, according to law, and loaned;
on interest, arc to be "investigated" ful
ly. !
r | The Auditor General, if he is asked to
unkcrtakc any investigation on the de
mand of the State Treasurer, wjjl ffiitlv
and promptly refuse to be used for a
purpose so plainly strategic, for he is too
Sensible a jublir officer voluntarily to
undertaken trust reposed in a commit
tee of the House of Representatives by
the solemn act of that body.
When all this is done, without re
straint on the part of the Treasurer, or
1 evasion on the j>art of the examined,
au4 the result ofthe investigation by the
House committee as it proceeds, from
1 day to day, is made kn-.v. i; through the j
public press, then, and not till then, can
, the people form any opinion of the
charges made. Any strategy which
avoids o isaki to avoid this w ill fail iu
its purpose.
The sneer lately pnbtistu-d, a<> if by
authority, that w hen the State Treasurer
' nWy he w ill demand au investiga
tion, to save himself or protect his j*ar
ty, i* tints made harmless. This threat
is discounted. We trust the Democrat
ic press of the Htate iijl! be prepared for
this strategy of the sffiito Treasurer.
Proving the correctness of these views,
the first effort of the State Treason r st
strategy has appeared. A "statement"
is published by the -State Treasurer, at
tempting to show thai im has "funds" in
his office. Is this a made*up set of tjg
ures? Who loaned tho money? For
how long was it loaned 7 What bonus
was jwiid for it? These are subjects
which the house committee must fully
investigate, ii won't deceive anybody.
Investigation is now w,v .pt;nl.
Tiie Killing or Dkkk. —Home of uc
readers being in doubt about the law iu
reference to hunting deer, we have ex

them to be hunted with Jogs and mak
ing it lawful to kill the dogs, tun. 4 pro
viso was attached excepting Centre,
Clinton, Fayette, Schuylkill and Wyo

ties hunting deer with dogs was permit
ted within lawful periods. Last winter
another game law was passed which
shortened the time for huutingdeer.clk,
Ac., one month, making it from Septem
ber first to December first, but tbis law
did n>t repeal the previous exception
made for hunts iigh:pr with dogs at law

TIIKA'ON VFUSION OF JITDAH.
Judas wa* one of tho Twelve, He wsis
called I sea riot -of Carioth, a small town
eat )f tho Jordon. 110 was a covetous
and avaricious man He was displeased
uitlj mnry fr *o trtu*h oifitmoiii
..ii the Mvior; lis did not care for thoolnt-
Uiswu, hut tho agongy. Tho Havioi's r
. buko on this occasion, *„, no doubt, a
provocallun |o betray hint at u future time.
Mild as s.om as an opportunity offered it
-elf, .1 u.l*. was ready to perpetrate tho
crime In the conversion of Judas there
are three particular* to bo observe,];
I Hi* sorrow Tho sorrow was after
sorrow. When Judas saw that Christ
would he led aw*y to I'ilato, and that h
would he rrurifled nnd slain bv wicked
hands, he was sorry that ho hailysold his
Lord for money. ho repented bitterly i
Jiid**, no doubt, thought that diro:
cold, and, therefore, would escape out ot
tho band* t hie enemies, and ho would
toko advantage of things and secure sls of
money Bui when he saw that the Jewish
Council had condemned Him, and thai
I'ilato would effectuate the sentence and
Christ would submit, anguish and fear
•sltr 1 him and ho sought refuge in the
hop. lessness ol selfinuider. The lempur
represent* sin as a little thing at first
small as a gialn of sand-light as a bit of
town sweet as honey ; but after it has
been committed, as a nigh mountain—-an
insupportable burden, driving the isoor de
luded sinner to despair a* he dl<] Judas.
The pleasure* of sin ure short If any one
ever realised thi*, Judas did—he enjoyed
hi* 30 pieces of silver only a short time
One thing we must commend in Judas,
via: Ho wa* sorry for hi* sin ; many sin
ner* to-day are not —nay, thev openly de
base themselves, and glory in their shame,
and seem to feel no regret
2. Kepeninnee llis repentance includ
ed :
1. Confession. If a man he sick, he will
seek a physician. Judas cauie to the
chief priests for comfort Ho repented—
confessed, stying: I have tinned in this
that 1 have betrayed innocent blood Here
i* alto something commendable in Judaa
tie made an open confession of his guiit
l have sinned, etc. Many will not do
this, say 1 sinned, but my iriond templed
iue. Adam blamed the woman, the wo
man blamed the Devil, etc. Judas might
have blamed the chief priests, said they
seduced me, etc., hut lie said : I hare
Itlinrtl If we confess our tint God it
faithful and just to forgive our iin*. 1.
John. 7: h. l' 33: 3, 4. and 57: fl. The
.chief pries*.* nnd elder* ought to have ex
: burled Judas to repentance. But they arc
cold comforters. They said; What is
that to u* ; n-ii thou to that. Art thou
-orry : It is too late now. They were not)
faithful pastors; when they saw him
mourning over hi* sins, they should have
encouraged him Ui go U> Jesus, the .Savior
at sinners Reader when you *o any one
>ad and sorrowful, don •say i What istlint
lo luu. If he die in hi* sin and guilt, his!
b'ood shall be required at your hand-
Speak to listti in the language of Christ and
the gospel : Come unto me alt ve that la
bur and are heavy laden and 1 will give
veu rest. Matt 11 38-30. This i* a filh
| ful saying and worthy of all acceptation,
thai Christ Join t>me into the world to
• sinners, of whom I am chief. J. Tim
1: 15. An important I•*..;! may be learn
ed In this connection, vix : That hurnau
) favor is an inconstant thing. The chief
i priest* and elders, no doubt, approbated
'Judas vers- much when he offered to he-j
:ray the Savior, but now when be is in
;distress, they won't notice him, and hate'
not a word of comfort for hita Saul]
thought much of David once, hut after- j
ward* became his most bitter enemy ;
'nothing is more changeable than human'
favoi. A fortune changes, so the favor j
of man vital ges A slight offence will;
.hahgr the best friend into the worst ene
my. Hence we had belter depend upon
God than man. He who has* God for hit!
irieod, will have comfort in divtrss, coun-'
[sel in perplexity and kelp in desertion.
Judas must experience that friend* and
!foc alike hate treason. When the chief
'priests would not comfort him. be thought:
jot another way of obtaining the favor of'
God. vt*.,- Actus 1 rupeuunca, (Reditu !
liuit.J I|* atoned for his love of money Inj
I the mot significant way. He brought]
back again the 30 piece* of silver, and sai.l
to the chief priests and elders: Here is
iyour moner. give me my Lord—hot it was
ifptolale. The chief prrosts consu.t what
they shall do with the money. They
thought it would not be lawiul to put it in
to the I, -rd's treasury, so they took it and
bought the Fottei's field, iu which to burr
. strangers, that prophecy might be fulfill
, ed, Zech. II: 18. They were guilty of
1 murder, vol they did not wish to violate
' tho Lord'* treasure They strain at *
gnat and swallow a camel, Matt "id. 24.
. Many are outwardly angels, and inwardty
,;devil*. It is highly commendable in Ju
-1 Ja*, that he was willing to make restitu
' ii.m Fitly did Augustine say ; Thai sin
would not be forgiven unless we would re
store to our neighbor that which we had
taken away trom him by fraud. If you
have defrauded your nvignbor of h. rep
uutioii. <>r property, you can not obtain
I iforgiveness, until you make restitution. If
you have done it secretly, you must make
; restitution secretly ; if publicly, you must
make restitution publicly, ll you have
: defrauded any one in your dealings, in
. and selling, you must make resit
".ution If aliye to the man himself -if
lead, to hi* heir*. If foti ch nut to cith
er, than, you must give this unlawfully
. gotten money to the poor. It don't belong
to you. and you can't repent until you re
store it or make restitution.
3. The repentance of Judas included
j suicide, the los* of jits life. Learned men
j don't agree as to the manner of hi* death.
..Some think that he hung himself; some
| that he was choked to ueath ; some that
■j his neck was disjointed ; some think that
th* devil took hfni up into the air and
r wrung his neck, and then threw him down
violently, so that ho bursted. and hi*
1 j bowels gu-hed ouL Dr. Clark thinks he
' was seired with a violent gripping and
that be retired to relievo himself, ansi that
Ins bowels gushed out in the evacuation.
The reader may believe a* much of this as
'he pleases—no article of faith will be vm
i luted Thus satan rewards his servants,
, Death is the wages of sin, and the death of
Judas was a dreadful one. Surely the way
of the transgressor is hard.
' 3. Faith, (confidence.) Judas believer!
, that God in view of his sorrow, confession
, and suicide, would forgive him, bis sin,
perfidy and treason, Thi* was a iegtii
faith and formed on works. It don lap
pear that J udaswbsolutely despaired of the
mercy of God, (though some think he sin
ned more by despairing of God's mercy*
than by bctraving the Savior.) That he
prayed in bis last moment* qr.d commend- j
ed hi* soul to God, is evident from tho 10.'
Psalm . Let his prayer become sin. In
the face of all these facts, and in the ligb
of the Scripture narrative before us, Joe:,
not ibp repentance of Judas seem to be a!
pretty good feucntgnfc_; Belter than that
of many modern christians. Tin* writer
don't wonder thai some men hare endeav
ored to argue the possibility of bis salva
tion- The inquiry now it a natural one:
' In what respect* teas the repentance of Ju~
das defective 1 1 answer. Ail the parts of
i his conversion were defective,
j 1. IDs sorrow. He was sorry because of
; the punishment, and not because of the
e guilt of sin A fan must bo sorry that he
has sinned against a good, kind, merciful
and gracious God. A man must not sayi
as Pharaoh did, removo tho i>uuithmerit;j
' but a* David did : Remove the sin—blot.
. out my Iran *gresiou.
. 2. Ilia confession. Ho did not csk for'
pnrdur. rnd forgi>enets as David did in
' the 51 P*. B (J si is language was : Lord!
- have patience with me. 1 wilipay theo all
i / will He ignores the satisfaction ofCkriH.
, lie does not say: Jesus paid it all; all
the debt I owo.
' Ho does not say, Christ suffered for me,
s died for me etc. But I wrt.L. i
8. His faith. This was legal and not I
, evangelical. It Was founded merit and 1
works aud not on Jtsus Christ. Judas i
availed himself oI tho grace of God, but
I did lu>t nppruhend the grsoe of God in
| Christ—for Christ's sake Judas mav have
thought; 1 have wronged Christ—l have I
betrayed him. He will not pray for me—
-1 intercede for mo, etc. But whoever would i
; he saved, must come to God through
i Christ. As ail light proceeds from the
sun, so all grace proceeds from Christ— '
out ot Christ there is no salvation. <
