The Huntingdon Journal. J. R. D i'R BORROW II NTINGDON, PENN A. Wednesday Morning, February 22, 1871. REPUBLICANS. TO THE FRONT ! On the approaching 10th of March the Republican State Convention assembles, in Harrisburg, for the purpose of placing can didates in nomination for Auditor General and Surveyor General, and for the further purpose of selecting a new State Central Committee. The selection of a Chairman by this Committee will be no small part of the duty to be performed. The canvass will, most likely, be a very spirited one.— The Democrats made heavy gains last fall, through the dissensions in the Republican ranks, and they will make very effort to maintain their ground. Therefore it will require work—thorough organization—and to accomplish this successfully, it will re quire a man, at the head of the State Cen tral Committee, who is no novice in politics, but one who can plan his campaign and by his personal influence enforce its successful execution. If the party has no confidence in the ability of the Chairman of the Com mittee, defeat must overtake us, because in politics men are prone to lethargy any way, and when they have no confidence in their leaders, defeat follows as a matter of course. It is also of great importance that the gentlemen who receive the nomination, for the offices of Auditor and Surveyor Gener al, should be men of great personal popu larity. No mere representatives of factions, but men who can command great personal influence. There will be very little outside of the mere personal popularity of the res pective candidates upon which to conduct a canvass, and consequently the Convention should select its men with this important consideration prominently before them. In selecting the respective members of the State Central Committee for the differ ent counties, men should be selected with out Democratic diction, who know the value of organization and know how to or_ ganize. It is the duty of the member for a county to see that the objects of the Cen tral Committee are carried out, and to properly apply the_ means_ placed in his hands. If he is a drone or an unskilled novice as wise as Solomon, and more re markable for conceit than any thing else, the probabilities are that the party will be all the worse for having any body to act in that capacity. We have every respect and ad miration for the novice who can make up his mind to do, and who has decision of character enough to execute his resolutions, but we have only pity for him who sets up his own judgment against all experience. ' He invariably follows the counsel of a very ' foolish fellow to say the least. Experience and a willingness to work is what is wanted and especially in the county of Hunting- I don. Give us, then, a man for our mem ber of the State Central Committee who will not sit down in his office or counting I room, or shop, fold his hands and —do I nothing. We want a live man, one who knows how to work to advantage, and who will do it. Give us such a representative, and the same kind of a man for Chairman of the County Committee, and Huntingdon county will take her usual place in the Republican ranks. The people of Huntingdon county, we mean that portion that has heretofore acted with the Republican party, are as good Republicans as they ever Were, and they mean to stand by the party in the future, and the man who does not, they will place where he belongs, and he can expect to have no choice or lot with them. RECRUITS FROM THE DEMOCRACY, The Bedford Inquirer in its issue of the 17th instant., contains some very pertinent reflections upon the subject of "A Repub lican U. S. Senator," and while we in the main agree with the force of its logic, we beg leave to correct some of its facts. But lest we do injustice, we will copy the major portion of its article. It reads as follows : "Pennsylvania will again elect a United States Senator next year, and aspirants after that desira ble position are already coming forward. Among them we find prominent the names of Gov. Geary and John W. Forney. John W. Geary has made a good Governor, and John W. Forney is as able editor, but we don't want either of them for the Republican United States Senator for 1872. It is about time we take a new departure and elect a few original Republicans to office. It is well to give a fair share of the offices to those who came over to us during the dark days of the rebellion, but we doubt the propriety of givingthem all. No doubt many of them came from patriotic motives, but there are also many who came late in the day, when the dark hour had passed, and it was becom ing evident to all that the Republican party would he the great party of the immediate future. Of these late comers nine out of every ten may be set down as having come for the loaves and fishes, and the fact that they are constantly pushing themselves forward for every empty place is only the stronger proof that they are time servers and demagogues, whose fealty to party is measured by the number of fat offices they can obtain. The number of times we have been betrayed by this class of persistent office seekers, from Andy John son down, the constancy with which they put themselves forward for every place of profit or honor, and the meek uncomplaining spirit with which the party accepts these tyros in Republican ism in preference to true and original Republicans is becoming so intolerable as to offend and disgust original Republicans, whose life service has been' given to the party. To-day we have half, or more than half, our principal offices filled with these raw recruits, and they make it their business to ap point and keep in office their own kind against any and all original Republicans. Every one can sat isfy himself of this who will take the trouble to look over the list of our public officers, both elected and appointed, for the past four or five years. We have now a recruit from Democracy for Governor, one of our United States Senators is of the same class, and perhaps half our Congressmen, besides an innumerable host in smaller places. In view of such facts, without hostility to the class men tioned, we demand that at least one of our United States Senators be an original Republican." It strikes us that the Inquirer does great injustice to a numerous class of men who joined the Republican Party in the hour of peril and danger to the nation. Men who were willing to sacrifice their lives, their property, and their sacrad hon or for the maintainance of oar government and the preservation of - our liberties. Where would the Republican Party have been during the dark days of the Rebellion without the aid and countenance of these men ? Had the Democratic Party cooper ated, as a party, with the Rebels, it is very doubtful whether the Bedford Inquirer would be in existence to accuse these men. We admit that "time servers and dema gogues, whose fealty to party is measured by the number of fat offices they can ob tain," may have taken advantage of the op portunity afforded and joined us. For one of these, the Inquirer in this very issue, blushingly apologizes. There was a day, if we are not mistaken, when the Inquirer would have spurned even the thought of doing so, but it appears that even the In quirer has becofl the apologist for acts of corruption and ft'aud, that have sent the blush of shame, and brought down the se verest condemnation, of every honest Re publican in the land. EDITOR But to return to the text. The Inquir er says we have now a recruit from the Democracy for Governor, and, therefore, does not want John W. Geary for U. S. Senator. Why? Not because he is now Governor, but because he is a recruit from the Democracy How long does it take to domicile a Democrat in the Republican party ? How long must he act, in good faith, with the Republican party to entitle him to all its rights and privileges ? Or, does the Inquirer deny that any such es tate can be acquired ? If it does not, then what length of service is necessary to enti tle him to any of the emoluments of the party to compensate him for his services ? The services of men like Governor Geary, made the Republican party, and they were, in our estimation, entitled to immediate preferment. But does the Inquirer pro fess to to know when Gov. John W. Geary became a supporter of Republican princi ples? Now, if our recollection serves us right, Governor Geary was appointed Gov ernor of Kansas, and assumed the duties of the office, in September, 1856, and from that day to the present, he has never hesi tated to let people know where ho stood upon the Slavery question, and the slavery question made the Republican party. Fif teen years' advocacy of a set of principles ought to entitle most any man to an upper seat in the synagogue. If we are not mis taken, the senior editor of the Inquirer only landed in the Republican party a few years later, when it swallowed up the Amer ican and old Line Whig parties. We pro_ test against classifying Governor Geary with any of the newcomers into the Repub lican party, and though he may not have been called a Republican for years later, his acts in Kansas entitle him to the posi tion of an original Republican. And out side of this, Governor Geary has made one of the best executive officers the State of Pennsylvania has ever had, and his sacri fices and his wounds and his labors during the war, entitle him to any position that the Republican party has within its gift. Dm. Judge Hall was sworn in and en tered upon the duties of his appointment, as President Judge of the XVlth Judicial District, at Bedford, on the 13th inst. He tried several cases and then passed the Court over to Judge Rowe to try such cases as he (Hall) was retained in. Judge Hall's demeanor and his rapid dispatch of busi ness won the commendation of everybody present. He is an able lawyer and possesses the judicial temperament to a remarkable degree,and we have no hesitation in saying that he will make a most expeditious, able and popular judge. The busines of the county is very much behind, and if he has his way, it will be brought square up, in a very short space of time, and litigants will save thousands of dollars and lawyers will be enabled to get business off their hands that has been pending for five or six years.

Address JOURNAL, Huntingdon, Pa tf. Death of Hon. John Covode. A message from the House of Repre sentatives, by Mr. McPherson , Clerk, communicated to the Senate information of the death of Hon. John Covode, late a member of the House of Representa tives from the twenty-first congressional district of the State of Pennsylvania. The resolutions of the House of Repre sentatives were read. Mr. SCOTT. Mr. President, again, and for the third time during this short ses sion, are we reminded that the robes of office will not ward away the shafts of death. Another of our colleagues has fallen, and we lay aside our labors for a few brief moments to pay a tribute to his memory. Hon. John Covode, late Representative' of the twenty-first congressional district of Pennsylvania, died at Harrisburg, on the 11th of January. He -had left this city a few days previous, proceeded to his home, and with his wife went to Philadel phia, and made arrangements to place two of his younger children at school. In tending tosesume his duties in the House, he started to return by way of Harris burg. There, in his usual robust health, he retired to rest for a few hours before leaving for Washington. Attacked by acute pain in the region of the heart, he awoke, called his wife, and had medical aid summoned. Remedies were adminis tered, but within an hour he died. John Covode wast born in Westmore land county, Pennsylvania, on the 17th of March, 1808. His father was of Dutch and his mother of Quaker decent. An untarnished name was the only heritage they had to leave their son. His facilities for acequiring an education were very limited. His after life, however, demon strated that his will would yield to no dif ficulties which perseverance could over come, that obstacles in his path gave birth to the resolve that he would surmount them. When quite young he left his home and traveled on foot to the State of New York, wishing to acquire a knowledge of some branch of manufacturing industry. He selected the fulling business, correctly cal culating that one of the necessities of his native district could be supplied by the introduction of a fulling mill. He learned the trade, returned and established what was known for years as Covode's Woolen Factory. Although his factory was small, compared with the huge enterprises of the present cay, it supplied the wants of the neighborhood. When these improvements by State and company enterprise were completed, he was among the first to originate schemes for utilizing them. He became a trans porter on the canal, and, while the railroad was in progress, organized companies to develop the coal-fields in western Pennsyl vania, which it made accessible. In all these he was a ruling and active spirit, and aided to a great extent by his prudent management they have prospered largely and rewarded his sagacity and labors with abundant success. His perseverance, foresight, self confidence, his hopefulness, and his honesty of purpose had all been exercised in behalf of his immediate neigh borhood, county, and State, but it was not until he entered upon his political career that those qualities became so conspicuous as to attract the attention of the country Before his election to Congress in 1854 h• had been a candidate for the State senate in the district composed of the counties of Westmoreland and Somerset. Defeated by small majority, the canvass demonstra ted his hold upon the confidence of the people. His party was in the minority, but many opposed to him politically waiv ed their adherence to public rule, casting their votes for him as the Whig candidate. In 1854 Mr. Covode, was for the first time, a candidate for Congress in the then nineteeth congressional district of Pennsyl vania, and was elected. Ile was re-elected in 1856, 1858, and 1860. In the legisla tion immediately preceding the attempted secession of the southern States he was a prominent and courageous actor in resist ing the encroachments of conspirators against the Union and in exposing the schemes for the extension of slavery. In opposing the efforts to force the institution upon Kansas lie battled with all his en ergy, and became conspicuous for his in dustry and labors as a chairman of a com mittee to investigate the influences by which this result was sought to be accom plished. In the Thirty-Sixth Congress, that im mediately preceding the election of Mr. Lincoln to Presidency, he contributed largely in preparing the public mind for a change in the policy upon which national Government had been ministered. When that change came and secession followed Mr. Covode stood unflinchingly by the flag of his country. He was not a man of soft words and persuasive speech. The time had come when it was to be decided by the arbitrament of the sword whether the Union should be preserved or be sev ered into fragments. He advocated the strengthening of the arm of the Govern ment to meet the attack of its enemies. His patriotic exhortations, though not couched in the flowery language of the rhetorician, were such as carried convic tion to the minds of the people and roused them to a sense of the impending dangers. From the inauguration of the rebellion until the 4th day of March, 1863, when Mr. Covode voluntarily retired from Con gress, after having served four successive terms, he was recognized as the enthusias tic defender of his country's weal and safety, serving during that time with vig or as a member of the joint Committee on the Conduct of the War. Bat he gave even stronger proof of his loyal devotion than by his individual efforts as a member of Congress. He gave to his country three of sons to do battle in the field, one of whom, Col. George Covode, was killed in battle near Richmond; another returned from the prison-house at Ander . sonville broken in health, and now re mains a lingering evidence of the cruelty there inflicted upon the unfortunate Union prisoners; a third completed his term of enlistment and was honorably. discharged. At the close of the Thirity-Seventh Congress Mr. Covode retired temporarily from public life. Though in no official position, he did not remain an inactive spectator of the continued struggle of parties. In 1862 and in 1864 his district was carried by the Democrats. To effect a change in the representation he again became a candidate in 1866. His person al and political popularity, backed by his great energy, secured an election. In 1868 he was again chosen to represent his dis trict in the House of Representatives, and in 1869 he conducted the political 'cam paign as chairman of the Republican State central committee. Such is a brief sketch of the leading incidents of his business and public life, and they to a great extent indicate his character. He was not a man of learning ; he was a man of intellect.. It was not cultivated intellect which often led men to be mere thinkers, whose thoughts end in dreams and are sometimes afterward caught up and made practical by the earnest workers of the world. His was that busy, practi cal brain which made him a man of action, a type of the untiring working men who are making their mark upon this active century, who study their fellow-men more than books and who are indispensable to the earnest thinkers of the age. Earnest thinkers and earnest workers need each other. Earnest thought is earnest work in one sense, but not in all senses. The ;earnest thought of the commander who plans a campaign or maps out a battle field may be earnest work for him ; but it is not that kind of earnest work which carries forts and routs opposing armies. The men who do this kind of earnest ' work should live in history, as well as those who plan it and direct it to be done. I saw recently a large painting of the battle of Gettysburg, ordered by the State of Pennsylvania. It represents the pinch of the fight, the repulse of Picket's charge. Its central figure is a private Union soldier—tall, muscular, with all the energy of determined action apparent in every feature and in every limb—with a musket clenched frantically in hands, and drawn to strike an assailant. He seems to be the real leader of all who are behind him. The commanding generals are in the dim distance. I thought, as I looked upon it, that the men of action are in our day coming to the front. Such a man was John Covode. His speeches do not fill many columns of the Globe. His actions have influenced events which will employ the pens of many historians; and if the thoughts and the reasonings during our years of trial, of such men as Stevens and Fessenden among the dead, of others whom I may not in good taste here name among the living, shall afford food for the students who shall come after us, the deeds of John Covode, as they stand upon the same re cord, in the same years, will command the gratitude of the patriot's heart. In the word-painting of history his name will not be left out. He was bold, energetic, self-reliant, and persevering. He investigated for himself, he decided for himself, and when he de cided the next step was to act. Some friends were proposing to him to examine into the practicabillity of a railroad up the Platte, and wished to submit the opinion of an engineer. "Let us go and see for ourselves," said Mr. Covode, and he went, taking some of his friends with him. His own examination decided his course upon that question. But although energetic and self-reliant, he was not repellant nor selfish. Warm as a partish, he was genial and generous in social life and as a personal friend. I will not say of him that he had no ene mies; for if I did it would imply, in my belief, that he had failed in some of life's duties. He had the nerve to do right as he saw the right ; and the man who does that, either in private or public life, will have enemies. He was the friend and trusted counselor of the poor and dependent. Having him self come up from the vale of poverty, he sympathized with the sorrows of those in want. He certainly had never read in the original Dido'a address to /Eneas, and it may be could not have quoted Dryden's translation of her sentiment— "l learn to pity woes so like my own," but he did what was better than scanning Latin or quoting English verse. When the needy came to him he did not exhaust his sympathy for the poor in sentiment for their class. He ministered to the needy man or woman before him asking aid. I cannot refrain from expressing here the thoughts that were prompted by the scene at his funeral, which I attended up on the invitation of the committee appoin ted by the llouse. His residence was in a deep and narrow valley. As we neared it, Hendricks creek, named by the ances tors of Senator Hendricks, came in sight, windin„(rits way along the foot of a high hill. Steep hills were on every side of us, and there seemed that there was no entlet for the struggling stream. Butit fins its way after many winding, and p4sing through the tributaries of the Alle*any flows on to the Gulf, mingling its inters with that stream which, by its pnial warmth, breaks up the frozen region of the North. Was it this surrounding that impelled John Covode to action ? Did he look out over the high hills which on every side shut him from the busy world beyond, and resolve that he, too, with his strong German common sense, keeling him ever on the plans of right, with 'ais warm Quaker heart throbbing in unison with the aspirations of the oppressed for freedom and the equal rights of men, would go out and cast his influence into the great gulf stream of enlightened and advancing public sentiment which was breaking up the polar sea of human bond age ? This he had done, and he had lived to see liberty proclaimed "through all the land to all the inhabitants thereof." But his race was run; and there he was dead, his sorrowinc , b friends and stricken wife and children, his sympathizingneigh hors, all shocked by the suddenness and severity- of the affliction. The loss sus tained by the bereavedfamily is one which no earthly hand can temper, no human sympathy can lessen. The loss sustained by the community in which he lived was attested by the presence of the people of all ranks and conditions of life to pay the last tribute of respect to his memory. High and low, rich and poor, were there. On foot, on horsedack, in the road wagon, in the carriage, in every way that men and women coud travel, did the long funeral procession wend its way to the little vil lage church-yard in the county of his birth, to lay him in his last resting-place by the side of his gallant son, and sur rounded by the tablets which tell the "short and simple annals of the poor." If a man's life has not impressed his fel low-men, his funeral will not. But his funeral may tell how his life has impressed them ; and, standing there, no man can doubt the sincerity of the sorrow which his death had occasioned amono• ' those who knew best. A bad man could not be so mourned. Waken as he was, without warn ing, away from the busy scenes of life's ac tivic,.s, when looking forward to new and imp +rtant enterprises, his death admonish es us who are engaged, as he was, in public cares and duties, of the uncertainty of life and of the value of our time, that we should— " Part with it as with money, sparingpay No moment but in purchase of its worth ; And what is worth, ask death-beds ; they can for furnishing artificial limbs or apparatus for resection, or commutation therefor, as provided by acts of April twenty-three, eighteen hundred; February twenty, eigh teen hundred and forty-seven; August eleven, eighteen hundred and forty-eight; April five, eighteen hundred and fifty-ssx; July fourteen and seventeen, eighteen hun dred and sixty-two; June thirty, eighteen hundred and sixty-four; June six and July twenty-five, eighteen hundred and sixty six; July twenty-seven, eighteen hundred and sixty-eight; June seventeen, June thirty, July eight and July eleven, eigh teen hundred and seventy, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
