Isenberg, Chairman of the Re publican County Committee, it. Fisher and J. R.

In accordance with the above resolution the aforemen tioned Committee met and proceeded "to adjust the repre sentation in the next Republican County Convention" ac cording to the following resolution " It—tolved, That hereafter the appoi tnietc: of delegates to the Republican nominating C....veal ions, in Huuting don county, shall (a' based mem the Republican vote poll - id in the respective watrtbt, I.renglis, townships and election districts for the candidoui for a State or county offl, hat ing the highest vote in the county at the loot election, as follows: Every ward, boron: It, township and election district shall I. entitled to two delegates for the first fifty vetco polled, and one additional delegate for ev ery additional fifty yob.ca pollel or fraction thereof equal ing twenty-five voted; provided, Iwwever, that every word, larougb, township and electiou district shall be en titled to at least two delegates."

Impelled by a sincere desire to promote the principles of the Republican Party, and to insure union, harmony and good will among its members, as well as a success at the polls in which we can all rejoice, we the undersigned, hereby unite in issuing the following call for Delegate Elections and a County Convention. In taking this step we are actuated by what an extended consultation with our friends from all parts of the county, leads ns to be lieve is the united and spontaneous desire of all who tru ly love our party, regardless of the factions into which our party has unfortunately been divided for some years past. It is earnestly hoped that all the Republicans will pal ticipate in the primary meetings, and that they may send good men as delegates, who are distinguished for their love of the party and a desire for its harmony and success, and that these selections be made without regard to past differences or divisions in the party. Therefore, the Republican voters of the several Town ships. Boroughs, Wards and Districts are requested to meet at their respective places of holding elections on SATURDAY, August 19th, 1876, in the Boroughs between the hours of 5 and 8, and in the townships between the hours of 3 and 8 o'clock, p. 131 ,of said day, and elect Del egates to represent them as follows : Alexandria 2 Marklesburg Barree 3 Morris Birmingham 2 Mt.

PORT, Chatirmain of the respective Republican County Commit. tem IT IS TOO BAD. For the last six months we have scarcely . been able to get money enough to keep soul and body together. It has been a constant scrape, day after day, to raise sufficient to pay the pressing demands of our businegs. We would not take a salary of five thousand dollars a year and under go the vexations and annoyances which we have undergone in the last twelve months. The panic literally ruined our business, and the hundreds, yea, almost thousands, who are indebted to us, for some reason, have failed to pay, and we have had to scramble, hour after hour, half the time sick at heart, until our bead is prematurely gray, with scarcely any sympathy from partizans or anybody else, to raise enough to make ends meet. We would pay a premium to see the man who has made a fiercer struggle for an existence. Under these circumstances we have crossed the Rubicon. We have destroyed the bridges behind us. All we now ask is the money that is due us and we will bid defiance.— Shall we have it ? Will those who owe us make an effort to pay up, or will they see us ekeing out an existence coveted by neither angels nor devils ? We make this appeal for MONEY because we need it as badly as we have above represented. Will our patrons respond ? You have been blessed with good crops, abundance of earthly goods, the smiles of Providence; while we have had to sup the dregs, and reap the whirlwind, and to encounter gaunt want. Come, share your fat with us and get us out the hands of those who want their pound of flesh and want it badly. Will you help us Do not hes itate—we want money at once. We be lieve you only want to know that we need our money and you will respond imme diately. Bring it in or send it by the first neighbor, any way, in faith, so we get it. tf. JOHN MORRI.SSEY strengthened the prospects of his candidate at St. Louis by telling the delegates that he had -a bar'! 'o money." HAS NOT THE TIME NOW FULL'a" COME? We hat e a word to say to the Republi cans of lfuntingdun county especially those who have so kindly stood beside us, shoul der to shoulder, in the contest of the past three years. has not the time come to drop our past differences and unite once wore in gCori faith in behal:' of the principles of our party ? For three years we have had two organizations, each claiming to be the party, each holding up its grievances, and all more embittered at each other than at the common enemy. True, there was an elE,rt to confine these troubles to cur local offices, but they nevertheless did directly and indirectly affect officers of State and legislature. If we are Republicans we ought to show it, even at some sacrifice of (pur preferences. If wo are not Republi c:ins we should at once mery into the Democratic party. For our part, we have given this matter a great deal of thought, and we say emphatically we cannot become a Democrat. We have made it our busi ness to consult with our friends from all parts of the county, whenever we had a chance, and they all declare most unequiv wally that they are Republicans and have no notion of going over to the Democrats. They moreover all say that if our difficul ties are satisfactorily settled they would be much pleased to see the party re-uni ted There is a desire all around to re-unite the party and what is most remarkable at this time we hear of no one that is demand ing any particular terms for the re-union. Is not this therefore a propitious season to drop the past and commence anew ? We have much at stake to unite us in the na tional canvass and little of local interest to distract. Now if we do not intend going on fighting each other, until this becemes a Democratic county, let us try to stop it now. No more favorable time can be found. The first great pre-requisite is confidence in each other. Let us show each other that we are disposed to deal fairly with each other for the future. Let us show a disposition to make restitution to all on both sides who have been wrong ed, and above all let the people take this matter in hand and out of the hands of demagogues, let them send good honest men as delegates who can not be led, who are not tricksters, who will look only to the good of the party, and we will soon have another state of things in this coun -2 ty There is very little difference oPopinion among the masses of the Republicans. The cause of the past trouble is notorious, everybody krtows it. If 3,000 Republi can voters will stand still with their hands in their pockets, and allow two men to nominate a ticket for them, they should be scalped. Let the PEOPLE make their own ticket—then all will be satisfied. In stead of fault-finding, let us all go to work. A conciliatory spirit must and will per vade the good people of both parties. They will concede all that will be required to restore harmony and insure success. In bringing about this state of affairs the Democrats will of course find fault and en deavor to aid us in re•opening the old feud. This will only show us the great necessity of uniting our forces at this time. Let the two chairman of the respective wings unite in a call as the unanimous and spontaneous wish of the whole party, with out regard to any past difference or diffi culties, and let us have a convention of the best and most judicious men in the party. If this is done we can promise to abide their decisions, and from what we know of the feeling of our friends through out the county they will heartily endorse the movement. "Let us have peace."— Globe, July 11, 1876. TIIE Globe, of this week, contains the following sensible article in regard to the call for a Republican County Convention : Ten CALL TO DUTY.—In a another column will be found the call foe Delegate elections and the County Convent:on. We believe it is as near what the people desire aa it is possible to make it, and we feel like congratulating the party over this wise move in the right direction. Where there are differences of opinion we can never please all by trying to discuss past variances. This wise method of simply dropping the past, and going into the present and future duties as if there were no past troubles, is the only sound method of healing the past difficulties. As to the basis of representation it is obvious that the small districts have had too much advan tage over the larger ones. The present method is a compromise—taking nothing from the smaller ones, and adding one or two to the larger ones. The rule adopted is as follows, and to our mind seems after careful consideration to be eminently just and fair. : "The apportionment of delegates to the Republican nominating Convention, in Huntingdon county, alkali be based upon the Republican vote polled in the respec tive wards, boroughs, townships and election districts for the candidate for a State or county office having the high est vote in the county at the last election, as follows : Every ward, borough, township and election district shall be entitled to two delegates for the first fifty votes polled, and one additional delegate forever,' additional fifty vow pulled, or fraction thereof equaling twenty-five votes ; provided, however, that every ward, borough, township, awl election district shall be entitled to at least two dele gates." This gives each district its two votes, and to those that polled over 75 votes for Hartranft last fall, one additional vote. This applies to ten dis tricts. Warriorsmark township and borough get four votes—having polled 140 votes for Hartranft. This makes in all 102 delegates—an increase of 12 over the old system. Had Union, Todd, Mt. Union, and other districts done last fall as they have done in other years, and can do again, they would also have three delegates. They can reme dy this at the polls this fall. The past diffieulties in the party seem to be ad justing themselves this fall. It will not be in the power of any one or two men to control the party. If we mistake not the PEOPLE are going to take hold of the matter, and if they do it, then it will be well done, and there will be no cause for com plaint. We trust they will attend the primary elections and send in the very best men—not men noted for their obstinate prejudices, but men of liberal views, who will persecute no man on ac count of past differences. In this arrangement there are no pledges as to what nominees shall be accorded to this or that wing. If the Convention has the wisdom that we presume it will have, it will of course see that both sides are represented. This we feel sure it will do, and more will not be asked. As a matter of course there will be candidates who will be disappointed in not getting the nom ination. In fact the recent indications of a united party has already awakened numerous candidates and , hey cannot all be nominated. If the conven tion is composed of fair men, who will transact their duties without being set-up by would-be leaders, the results of their deliberations should be accepted by• the disappointed candidates and by the people. Let us see that this matter is done fairly and then abide the results. Believing that the good sense of the people and the representa tives that they elect will prompt them to do the right thing, the Ocoee plants itself fairly for the ticket and will assist in rolling up an eld-fashion ed majority. To be candid we do not like a portion of Gov. Hayes views on Civil Service Re form. We hold that the only way to maintain a party is to reward the men who do the work. Any other course is suicidal. And the only Civil Service Re form we need is to kick out any individual who is unfit for the place, on the recom mendation of his chief, backod by the evi dence. TILE motto of the Democracy it said to be : Eternal principle and infernal practices. TII ELEAIENT 4:.11:;S1' 14:M041:A C -- siVi/b/i• C;(7'11711.101,. . —The following ominous circumstance is related to us, by a gentleman of character, who was a spectator : In Bloomsburg, Columbia county, on the 4th instant, a number of large flags was thrown to the breeze, among others was an old flag, waffle during the war, dis played by the Republicans, without any inscriptions or lettering, to offset this the Democrats flung a very fine new flag trout their headquarters, about one hundred yards distant, bearing the names of Tilden and Hendricks. This was pronounced, by many of both parties, as being in very bad taste. In this afternoon a violent storm arose, and while all the other flags escaped unhurt, and especially the veteran Re publican flag, the new Democratic flag was rent in twain, half way down, and the por tion bearing the names of Tilden and Hendricks, was wafted upon the gale and deposited immediately beneath the scarred Republican banner. This little freak of the elements indicates what is in the wind and shows conclusively which way it is blowing. The current is evidently against the Democracy. The fiat has gone forth : Tilden and Hendricks will be rent assun der and the Republican "banner in tri umph shall wave." THE annual call for the election of a Re publican County Convention, t 9 be held in this place, on the 22nd of August next, appears in this issue. Both chairmen, of' the respective wings of the party, unite in the call and urge all well-wishers of the organization to harmonize, and to jointly select a convention of good men to nom inate a ticket. We think that the call will be generally responded to and that hence forward the Republican party of Huntingdon county will be united. Oar friend Durborrow, of the Hunting don Journal, is a candidate fin• the office of Assembly in that county. If party servi ces and ability are to be taken into consid eration be should be nominated. But, then, he is an editor, and what right has an editor that should be respected by the party We hope an exception may be made in our brother editor's case.—Hollidays burg Register. IT takes $250,000 to start a Reform paper in New York. There can't be much faith in the success of the enterprise. In some portions of the country the politicians would induce some poor devil to invest and then leave him stick, or having squeezed all the juice out of Lim, would let him go to Jericho. THE last Democratic butchery was in Hanburg, South Carolina, a week or two ago. Sunset Cox thinks they ought not to have any troops down there to interfere with the innocent pastime of the high heeled Southerners in killing off the d—d niggers. THE Southern Democrats have com menced intimidating the negroes already. They butchered about a dozen, at Ham burg, the other day, just by way of get ting their bands in. Sunset Cox thinks they can do their little business down there without the interference of the army. THE 3/Oaf/Or Is very much worried over the prospective harmonious re•orgau ization of the Republican party in this county. This was to be expected. It will prophesy all manner of evil and give currency to anything that will create dis sensions in our ranks. " Can't come it 1" WE regret to hear that Hon. W. S. Sten ger is quite enfeebled and unable to attend to his duties in Congress. The cause is at tributed to the miasmatic climate of Wash ington. We hope he may be speedily re stored to his usual good health. DEMOCRATIC economy has doomed the Limited Mail. Slow coaches will next be in order. Was there ever such a set of stupid mules as are to be found in the Lower louse at Washington? From such good Lord deliver us ! THE Monitor thinks ghat Chairmen Is enberg and Port have no right to try to harmonize the Republican party. No doubt the Democrats object, but it can't be helped. So lay low and keep shady. JUDGE SETTLE has been nominated for Governor of North Carolina. He is pop ular, and his nomination insures the State for Hayes and Wheeler. Good for the old North state. EVERY bondholder and monopolist in the country is satisfied with the nomina. tion of Tilden. His nomination gladdens their hearts. Laboring men and mechanics, remember this. A HARD money head and a soft money tail is a fair way of representlug the condi tion of the Democrat presidential ticket. Heads I win, tails you lose. THE rebel rag has been floated to the breeze, at several places, since the nomina tion of Tilden. Too soon, by a jug full. Tilden won't be the next President. TIIE Republicans, last week, elected tbeir candidate for Mayor, in Chicago, by a majority of 8,000. Illinois Reformers, stand from under. „ DOM PEDRO addressed Gov. Hayes, in Philadelphia, as "the next Presid , mt of the United States.” The Dom posses.,es ex cellent judgment. SAM RANDALL appears to be under a cloud. The Democracy refuse to sneeze when be takes snuff. We arc sorry for the extinguished Samuel. THE chief among ten thousand Ite foruiers, in New York, is John Morrissey, bravely seconded by John Kelley. So wags the world. TILDEN is pronounced a "railroad wrecker." The Democratic party should have steered clear of him. THE Democracy preach Reform and practice ala Tainmany. "There's mil lions in it." THE rallying cry of Satan when be was organizing a rebellion in Heaven was "Reform." TILDEN is now the god of Democratic Reform and Morrissey is his prophet.

WREN. Mercersburg College. The Sixth Annual Commencement of Mrreersbnrg Col lege, bler,ersburg, Pa., was celebrated with usual interest ing exercises June 26th, 1376 to the 28th, inclusive. The week previous was consumed in the examinations usual on such occasions, and which were passed through very creditably to both teachers and pupils. At 7 1 / 2 p. m. Monday Juno 26th, - the exercises were opened by G. E. Sipes, McGaheysville, Va., who delivered the third annual oration before the Alumni Association. Mr. Sipe is of the class of '74, and although having grad uated so recently, acquitted himself in a manner credita ble, both to himself and his "Alma Mater." His subject, "The Glasses we see through' was delivered in his usual eloquent and facinating style. The subject was handled in a manner which gave evidence that time and labor had been spent upon it, and not in vain, as the strict attention of the large audience was evidence. . _ . Tueedaj at 7!4 p.lll. "The Washington Irving Literary Society," held its "Eleventh Anniversary" of which the following is the order ofoxercises: . . _ Music—Fest March, Bilse. Opening service. Music— Overture "Tancredi," Rossini; Salutatory—E. M. Boyd, Upton, Pa.; Music—"Romanze," Richards •, Oration— "Mau and the Supernatural," G. B.

Davis, Boonsboro, Md. ; Mu sic—Andante, Heller; Benediction. Music—Concert Overture, Fiedler. While all the speakers did well, special notice is due Messrs. Bridenbaugh, Scott and Davis for their superior orations, and the manner in which they were delivered. The latter having the sail duty of bidding farewell to his fellow students and teachers, with whom he had mingled for years, proved himself equal to the occasion. In an el oquent and deeply interesting manner, he spoke of the sad ness winch always prevails in the breaking up of assimila tions such that, the ties of which were now to be brelken. lie seemed to feel what he said, and caused that feeling to pervade the audience, to which the quietness that reign ed during his address, gave evidence. This closed the evenings entertainment, and judging front the beautiful floral, and other presents presented through the ushers, none of the speakers were without their lady friends. On Wednesday morning, we had the privilege of attend ing prayers in the college chapel, once more before sep arating, at which time our worthy President seized the opportunity to give a few words of advice, and, in an earnest prayer, committed all to the care and guidance of him who alone is able to guide and direct us aright. At 2 p. m., we again assembled to listen to the address before the Literary Societies, by F. 11. Shurnaker, Ph, D. of Cluimbersburg, Pa. Taking for hie theme "Success in Life," in an interesting manner he set forth many import ant truths. Said "it is net he who aims the highest, that meets'with success. lie who ;ems at the Sun, shoots high, but what does he hit? All cannot become Presi dents." Spoke of the injury done to the young by urging them to be of the highest rank in life, and the disappoint ment in after yearn of their it t success. Aiming fur that which was beyond their reach, they failed to grasp that within their power, and in the end found to their sorrow, that their whole life had been, as it were a blank. lie then earnestly endeavored to impress the importance of looking beyond our own strength, which is feeble indeed, to him who is all powerful and ready to aid if we but call upon him. The hour consumed passed away rapidly, and amid the beautitul and enchanting strains of music, the audience departed reluctantly, as if the 1101 r passed tea quickly. At Vzi" p. m., the commencement exercises were evened with prayer by Rev. Gen. H. Martin, of Woodstock, Va., when the graduating class, numbering eleven, delivered the orations of which the following is the order of exer rises : _ . lireeting to Spring," tcornet solo) F,.idi er Oration—"lnfir.ence of Retirement," 1..
