ANOTHER OUTRAGE CONTEMPLATED,
There is. a report from Richmond
that General Canby will in a few days
convene th'o Legislature of Virginia,
requiring the members to take the test
oath, and when a member cannot take
the oath, give his seat to the-candidate
receiving tho next highest vote.— JSx-.
changed
Perhaps the satrap Canby will at
tempt, this outrage, and if he does it
will bffhy permission of Grant., ■ A few
mouths ago President Grant wrote to
ids satrap in Louisiana thus:
“ I repeat to you, as heretofore,' that
the members of the Louisiana Legislature
are only required to take the oath pres
scribed bg their Constitution , and are not
required to take the test oath prescribed
in the Reconstruction Acts. Generals
Meade and Canby are acting on this
view of tho case,
(Signed,) , tT. S'. Grant.”
• Is it possible for tho President to “go
hack” on his own published declara
tions? We fear it is possible, for cer
tainly tire petty little Yankee satrap;
Canby, would not dare to set up his
own opinion against the instructions of
the President. Should Canby, then,
carry out his threat, it will be with
the permission and knowledge of
• Grant, and will furnish additional
evidence that he (Grant,) is a tool m
the hands of demagogues and rascals,
whose interest it is to foment discord
and heartburnings in the Southern
States. By the unanimous testimony
■ of President Johnson’s Cabinet, Grant
was shown to be! not only a calumnia
tor but a liar, and it is not improbable,
therefore, that he is willing to rob the
people of Virginia. of their rights, by
refusing to recognise the result of the
election In that State. Grant is not
_ only a fool, but he is as destitute of
shame as he is of character. No won
der the New York Tribune , the great
Republican organ, revolts at this . last
cropping-out of military oppression.—
Bitter as Greely is in his. political
opinions, hois not quite,brute and ras
cal enough to sanction the upsetting of
an election by military power. The
Uribune of Saturday says:
“Wo do hear that General Canby per
sists in his purpose of exacting the
iron-clad oath of every member of the
now Legislature, and deeply regret it.
\ye seo no end to be achieved by it but
that-'of converting the triumphant
' Walker party into an anti-administra
tion party, and embittering the politi
cal feuds of Virginia for
1 f the effect be to deprive the majority
of United States Senators and enable
t o minority to gleet them, the wrong
will bp. greater and the blunder more
iatal. Wo must cherish the, hope that
General Canby will yet bo Induced “ to
accept the situation” as fully, if not so
heartily, as tho Into rebels appear to
have done.”
The Boston Transcript (Republican)
says it cannot recall a year since tho
Republicans ruled Massachusetts in
.which their organization smacked so
strongly of disorganization. Two
demagogues (Butler and Loring) are
playing into each other’s hands, one
for tho governorship and the other for
tho Unitc'd States Senatorship, and dis-.

TROtIDI.E IX THE RADICAL CAMP.
The Philadelphia Telegraph of. a : re
cent date hftS tho following:
The Hon. John Covode, Chairman of
the Republican State Executive Com
mittee, at the urgent request of Gover
nor Geary and by the authority of the
Committee, lias addressed a note to At
torney General Brewster, politely re
questing him to resign Ills present posi
tion, for the sake, as is alleged, of pro-,
moting the harmony of tire party. Mr.
Brewster has as politely, declined to
accede to the request.
; The following is the iqtter referred
to:
Continental Hotel, July SO, 1869.
— lion. Benjamin PI. Brewster .-—After,
consultation with our political associ
ates; who are anxious for the election of
our mutual friend, I am satisfied that
your resignation as Attorney General
will go a long way to heal existing dis
sensions. I write thus frankly to y6u
because I know yon desire to secure
that result. Tills conclusion has not
been arrived at hastily; but has been
authorized by : tho Governor himself.
Yours, truly, John, Covode.
Chairman State Central Committee.
Mr. Brewster is too honest a man to
suit Geary, and hence it is that the
‘ ‘ luiinhuggest Governor” desires to get
rid of him. But, why is it that Geary
does not make his desire known to
Brewster himself? What right lias
John Covode to, address the Attorney
General of the State, requesting him to
resign ? If Geary wants Brewster out
of his cabinet, why don’t he sny so?—
Mr. Brewster is a high-minded, hono
rable man, who will not, like the
shameless Stanton, remain in office
after Ids chief desires him to got out of
.the way. But Mr. Brewster will bo
commended for treating John Covodo’s
impudent epistle with the contempt it
deserved. He will notresign-.at.
Covode’s bidding, nor will Uc'even
honor Covodo vyith a written reply.
“ Tho humbuggest Governor” cannot
save himself from the defeatthkt awaits
him by reconstructing his cabinet. The
removal of Brewster will only increase
his troubles. Brewster.ls tho brains of
ids cabinet. Take him away, and
Geary will sink so low that the hand
.of resurrection will never find him.—
But, whether Brewster is forced from
hjs position Or not, Geary is doomed,—
The people are. tired of mediocrity,.cor
ruption and demagogueism; and they
demand a change, and a change they
will have. Iniquitous Radicalism is
sinking with the recoil of its misdeeds.
Tennessee ‘ condemns it. Senior, Con
servative, defeats Stokes, Radical, for
Governor, by an immense majority—
-60,000 to 65,000! Stokes was the
Administration candidate—backed up
by jotters'from Secretary Boutwell and
Postmaster General Creswell. Andrew
Johnson’s election to the United States
Senate is confidently predicted.
In Alabama the Democrats elect two
of tixe six members of Congress—botli
gains. The Radicals carried them all
at the previous election.
Kentucky 60,000 Democratic majori
ty, with only half a dozen . Radicals in
the Legislature!

COME DOWN IN VOID PBICES,
Tho question of, the price of bread
and meat, and of board at bur boarding
houses and hotels, is exciting considera
ble comment in .the; press throughout
the country. Although flour to-day
sells for $8 or $9 a barrel, the bakers’
loaves are no larger than they were in
1807, when flour sold for from $l2 to $l5
per barrel. Although tho butcher buys
his beef on tho Bbof for one half what
he paid in 1807, yet he charges the same
that ho did then for his steaks and cuts.
In August, 1807, potatoes sold for $2 per
bushel, and how they are selling for fifty
cents—and there is a corresponding de
cline in the pyce of other vegetables
and fruits, and yet all over tho country
the price of transient and permanent
board remains as high as it was in 1807.
In view of tho present price of provis
ions, it is simply' extortionate to charge
$2.00 or $3.00 per day at an ordinary
country hotel, or from $0 to $lO a week
for board. These things in ust bo; reme
died. The people themselves—and not
the middle-men alone—are entitled to
the full benefit of tho fall in the neces
saries of life. Grain,- meat and vegeta
bles are the great staples which support
human life. "They are now almost half
the price they were two years ago, and
bread, beef,, and the price of boarding
must come down in a corresponding
ratio. Whoever seeks to deprive the
people of the benefit of this decline in
prices, deprives them of their rights,
and literally takes tho bread out qf their
mouths.
.The New York Tribune is losing pa
tience with Boutwoll and his political
instruments at the South who are rob
bing the government, and working for
11 Boutwell for next President.” Tho
Tribiuie says: ■■ .
yfe respectfully suggest to the prop
er authorities that the latest reports
concerning the alleged frauds upon the
government in New Orleans only em
phasize demands that have been more
or less earnestly made for a longtime
past for final and peremptory dealing
with this whole subject. Either a great
many officers at New Orleans have been
slandered, or the government has evi
dence against quite a number, includ
ing some now holding high positions,
which involves them in. tho grossest
malfeasance in office. If the govern
ment has this evidence it is its duty' to
use it; if not, it is time the slander
should stop. Lot us turn from, the
merchants who evaded tho laws to the
officers who broke oaths to execute
them ; and let us have something done!
ska’" “ I am not and never have been
a favor of making voters pr jurors of
negroes nor of qualifying them to hold
office, nor to intermarry with whites;
and, I will say further hr addition to
tiiis. that there is a physical 'difference
between tho white and black rates,
which X believe will forever forbid the
two races living together on terms of
social and political equality.”—Abra

Tub Chicago Tribune expresses the
opinion that if ” both bets ,of demago
gues who divided*tho Radicql party hi

.i- FREE-TRADE IN COAL. - %
We tic|li (ietj 1 thattho -Now.
dune, (wdih is npvy publishing a febries
of articles in adyocacyof a high''prfii-'
tectivo tariff,) favors the free iinfiqrtfc
tibu of coal. Mr. Greely says the pres
eut price of coal is an outrage upon 'the
people, and retards niaiinfiietm'ing ope
rations millions of dol-lar?every month.
'True enough ; the'present price of coal
is a most infamous imposition upon the
people; but how stcango itlooks tO Boe,
a defender of a, high' protective tariff
adyocato free-trade lor coni and at the
same time dpfend and advocate a tariff
on other articles just as necessary to tiio
comfort of tiio house-keeper. The'
pfeoplo all over our country feel and
know that tho coal lords are robbing
them,.and with ono voice they demand
free-trade in coal.
Wo rejoice to notice that the jieople,
who have so long suffered "that a few
monopolists mighthecorae millionaires,
aro becoming restive, and demand re
lief. But if the tariff' is to be taken off
coal, why not take it off everything?—
There are a great many men in all parts
of flic country who, though not ahso=
lute Free-Traders, are daily becoming
sick of tho policy of protection. In
point of fact there are few persons, in
this country who, at this time, are in
favor of absolute Free-trade, The
object is to so reform the tariff that,
Without diminishing tho revenues, it
will relieve the labor and industry Of
the country from the taxation which is
now •tnpoyerishiug them. A tax
which, under the pretext of collecting
one dollar for tiio government, collects
three additional dollars from the peo
ple to be added to the profits of capital,
cannot ho defended, nor can its enormi
ty be nuiehlnngor hidden from tin* op
pressed and plundered people.' A tariff
may be so devised as to oppress (lie
people and yet yield hut a small propor
tion of the receipts for administration.
Such is the character of our present
tariff. On the iron which wiis consum
ed in this country last year, tho people
paid beyond, the value of the metal in
the markets of the world a tax of $15,-
000,000. Of this, the government, for
its expenses and the liquidation of our
indebtedness, received the paltry sum
of$900,000; while to the ircu men went
$14,000,000 asclear bounty. On lumber
the tax paid was $13,000,000; for the
lumbermen beyond the value of their
commodity, $10,000,000. The income
from the impost on salt is almost less
than a trifle, but salt is heavily taxed
and people pay .double tlie former-price.
The treasury does not receive it; where
does the money go ? Is this the expla
nation, that on a working capital of
$160,000 one salt company has in a few
years paid $2,000,000 in dividends,' be
sides doubling their, working capital
and accumulating a. surplus of $OOO,-
000? .
Free-Trade is not a question, of the
future, as the politicians pretend. It is'
to-day’s question. It is the political
question, of chiefest importance now
claiming the attention of the American
people. Tho entire business! of the
country is in a perverted and demoral
ized condition. Wo are going ori in the
persistent violation of fixed monetary
and commercial laws, and are reaping
the Consequences in tho rapid impover
ishment of tho masses and the accumu
lation of the wealth of the-country in a
few hands. The working, .people feel
the burden, but do not edmprehend
that they have the power to, throw It
oil'. During tho war they boro it in
patriotic silence, for the sake of an im
perilled country, and they will con
tinue t 6 hear patiently whatever tax
is needful for the honest payment' of
the nation’s debt and tho liberal sup
port of its institutions. But they ought
not to endure the extra burdens which
a fictitious currency and a monopoly
tariff impose. And they will not,
when they understand that the taxes
which these abuses lay upon them do
not increase the revenues of tho "gov
ernment, but actually reduce them, and
only operate to enrich those who would
bo rich enough without such factitious,
help.
The time is auspicious for the devel
opment of a sound public opinion,
especially at the’ West. There the fal
lacious protective theory has little or
no hold upon the people. 'Agriculture
and mining must over bo tho lending,
pursuits of the great interior arid the'
Far West. Show tlie. people there that
by- Free-Trade we mean a purely reve
nue tsiriif, and that such a tariff will
increase the resources of the govern
ment, at the same time that it will re- -
liove themselves from taxation for the
benefit of a few monopfilists, and they
will demand Free-Trade at once.; To
demand in this case is to obtain. We
do not neejl to plan and wait for victo
ry in the distant future. We have
but to get the truth fairly before the
people, to explain, reiterate, and press
it homo, to secure a quick triumph.—
The Great West can give us Free-Trade.
Let the West speak!

In another column will bo found a

foes to punish and no selfish ambition
to gratify. By its fair and candid dis
cussion of all the phases of the question
it will undoubtedly commend itself to

Wo feel confident that it represents the.
veiws of many of our safest advisers;
and although some dissatisfaction has
been excited against the system on the

not successful in their aspirations, wo
honestly believe that tho party will

] 1 Tho ; Democratic candidate -for the
Governorship of Pennsylvaniawas
lidmipated at the last National Demo
erotic I Convention, it will ho remember
ed, as’thc candidate of his State for the
Presidency. The duty of setting 1 forth
Ids alphas for tho honor of tho national
.nomination was discharged by Judge
Woodward in the following terms, a..J
we commend'their petuSal.to our'rcad
pirs in Pennsylvania and to the country,
as evidence of what maimer of men
tlicy are whom tho Democratic' party
seek to charge with the responsibilities
of higli office:
* * * “ Our candidate, if not ’well
known to tho nation at large, is well
known to the people of Pennsylvania,,
and will be supported by them with
an enthusiasm which no other man can
inspire. Born in Connetiout and roar
ed in, the honorable calling of a carpen
ter, he came early in life to Pennsylva
nia, whereby patient industry, by ju
dicious adoption of the best means to
tho best ends, and by uniform good
. living, bo acquired tho confidence of
his fellow citizens jjnd lifted himself
from the poverty in, which he was cra
dled into groat prosperity and affluence.
He stands to-day among the men who
have tho deepest stake in the material
wealth of-the natidn. He is one of the
largest tax-payers of the country. Our
.delegation are very far from consider
ing mere wealth a qualification for of
fice ; but when great wealth has been
acquired,"-not by inheritance nor by
speculation, and still less by peculation
and fraud, but by an honest industry,
by frugality of living, by following the
dictates of a sound judgment and a
clear understanding, its possession is ‘
proof of an organization and adminis
trative intellect capable of and fitted
for high.duties in any sphere oflife.—
The qualities of manhood are well
marked by the uses to which individu
al wealth is devoted. In the instance
Which I am about to place before the
Convention wealth bas net been hoard
ed, nor hid under a bushel, nor wasted
in riotous living, nor squandered on
schemes of folly and extravagance, but
it lias been employed in clearing out
and improving farms, developing and
woHdngcoal mines, building ana cou
dncurtgrailroads, establishing furnaces,
foundries, and. manufactories, and in
founding tho Lehigh -University—a
grand seat of Christian education, and
tlic only institution of learning in our
country that has over been fully en
dowed from.its start by individual mu
nificence. If our candidate has not fill
ed the noisy trump of fame, these are
the trophies which he has Won in th'c
battle oflife. He has not gashed the
bosom of the earth to make millions of
graves, for his fellow-men, but he has
-given employment t 6 the idle, homes
to the houseless, bread to the hungry,
and clothing to the naked. He has.nof
filled the land with widows and or
phans, but widows and orphans have
shared his bounties, and the blessings
of the' widow’s God have descended
upon his basket and his store. For
many years he has beep a foremost
man among those enterprising benefac
tors of oui race who.are pushing rail
roads into every .part of our extensive
country. Bailroads are the grandest
achievement of modern civilization.—
They are the highways of the millions.
They carry population into our remote
lands; they build up towns and cities
in what had else been the waste places
of the earth ; they diffuse intelligence,
comfort, and cheerful wealth broadcast:
and they bring back to tho seaboard
cities the products of the forest, the
farm, the mine,-and the industries of
.interior communities. Tho planning,
constructing, find managing of a sys
tem, of connected roads in so rugged a
country as Pennsylvania, adapting
them to the heavy .tonnage of coal aha
iron and to the quick transportation of
passengers, and making them profita
ble to stockholders, as well as benefi
cial to the public, are labors that de
mandhigh qualities of mind, and bear
loud testimony to the fitness of four
candidate to grapple with complicated
problems and to. bring them to sound
practical solutions. A good business
man is what the nation now needs at
its head. ■ Orators and warriors are
useful in proper places bift through
the inoompoleney and mismanagement
of tho men who have ruled the coun
try for seven years, debt, taxes, ‘confu
sion, frauds, and embarrassments of al
sorts have boon brought upon us, which
threaten our utter ruin, and which only
a practical wisdom that has been train
ed in the .business oflife, can avert or al
leviate. A man so trained , does Penn
sylvania this day present. TTio forces
of his character are quiet and noiseless,
like those better forces of nature which
ripen the grain fields and tho orchards,
and which bear fruits that are “ pleas
ant to tho eye and good for food.” If
there is no brilliance to attract tho pub
lic gazo to him, there is pure, solid
character upon which.wo may build, as
upon a. sure foundation. A 1 Democrat
all Ids life; a Keprosentativo' in two
successive 1 Congresses, an Associate
Judge for five years, a communicant of
the, prolcstant Episcopal . Church, a
.man whoso integrity has u.pvor been
questioned, whoso"- big heart embraces
all his countrymen, and whoso liberal
hand is over open to suffering humani
ty—such is the man Pennsylvania is
proud to, present for tiro consideration
of his countrymen. It is a rule’ of
Divine equality, that lie who has been
faithful over a few things, shall bo
made a ruler over many things- Ac
cept our candidate, sir, and you may
count his majority in the oid. Keystone
State by. tens of thousands. Elect him
President, and the thieves and gamb
lers will no longer seek office, but only
hiding places from tho vigilance of a
virtuous' Executive, and the republic
will feel the instinct of a new life.” • *
Not a word has been or will any
where he uttered, even by the, pipst
reckless partisan, in derogation ofthese
claims put forth by Pennsylvania for
the honor duo to the first of her citi
zens.
When Jamcij Madison wto President
of the United States the then Commis
sioner General of the Land Office sug
gested that if ho would permit it he
would select from the public lands,
which Mr. Madison could enter, such
lots ns would inevitably enhance so
much in value, that the rise would
make him comfortably rich In his old
ago.' Tho answer was: “No,sir ; though
as a private citizen J hnye thp right to
enter any of the public lands, whilst I
am President of the United States I
will not touch the public property for

IJIDNET SMITH ON TAXATION.
, Taxes upon every article whidh enters
into’the moiith, or coversthe back, or
is placed under, the foot taxes Upon
every thing which is pleasant to see,
hear, feel, smell, or taste;, taxes upon;
warmth, light and locomotion ; taxes
on everything on earth, and the waters
under the earth ; on everything that
comes from abroad, oris grown at home;
taxes on the raw materials ; taxes on
every fresh value that is added to it by
the industry of man; taxes bn the
sauce which pampers man’s appetite,
and the drug thatrestoreshim tohealth ;
on the ermine that decorates the judge,
and the rope which hangs the criminal;
on the poor man’s the rich
man’s spice; on the brass nails of the
coffin and the ribbons of the bride ; at
bed or board, couchant or levant, we
must pay. The school-boy whips his
taxed top ; the beardless youth mana
ges his taxed horse, with a taxed bridle,
on a taxed road ; and the dying Eng
lishman, pouring his medicine, which
has paid seven per cent., into a spoon
that has paid fifteen per cent., flings
himself back on his chintz bed, which
has paid twenty-two per cent., and ex
pires in tho arms of an apothecary who
has paidalicenseol onehundredpoun'ds
for the privilege of putting him to
death. His whole property is then im
mediately taxed from two to ten per
cent. Besides the probate, large fees
are demanded for hurrying him in the
chancel; his virtues are handed down
to posterity on taxed marble, and he is
then gathered to his fathers—to be taxed
no more.
■Every time the Radical coal monop
olists get cornered, they try to flop out
by the ad captandum hrgument that
Asa Packer, the next Governor of Penn
sylvania, has made $20,000,000 out of
the coal trade. It is time that plea,
unworthy as it is of answer, should he
stopped. Mr Packer is not a' coal-pro
ducer, but a coal-carrier; It is his road
which, by giving another route on
which to carry coal, really operates to
keep down the freight price. The high
tolls are not of his making. ’ They are
owing to the fact that his competitor,
Geary, signed the bill which took off
the lien it put upon the tolls allowed by
law on the Pennsylvania canals, That
prescribed price was. reasonable, and
kept coal down. Its repeal, of course,
allowed the canals to charge what they
please. That repeal bill'Geary signed.
Ho is the guilty party.
People op Pennsylvania The
Democratic party gives you Packer and
Pershing; great and able men, lovers of
the constitution, ond.puro and upright
citizens.
The Radical Party gives you Geary
and Williams; the first a military “fuss
andleathers” braggadooia, and the pur
chased tool of a legislative lobby; ’’the
other a man whose shameless effrontery,
in sitting on a case in which his person
al interest was concerned, has brought
disgrace upon bur supreme judicial tri--

rXIIE CIIAWIOBI) COUNTY systeii,
• ; Messrs. Editors:— There appears to 'bo.
considerable opposition excited against i
this system, for what reason X cannot lm
i agine. Some, no doubt,- honestly object
; to It because-thby hear evils attributed to'
it which it cannot'possibly-, produce,—
Others oppose it, likely for the reason
1 that it -checks their manoouvering and
- prevents their controlling the partyi’and
perverting the political power of the peo
ple to their own purposes. It is a matter
of moat serious importance to every onbi
that this system should be preserved. If
i It is attended with inoon vonleucea,- they
can bo corrected.- The people expect too
much if they hope for any system that is
perfect and -without ‘annoyances. Such
systems do not exist in this vtorld. If
the system spoken, of is the correct one,
whatever evils and annoyances have
heretofore attended Ic, can. in a measure
be corrected and controlled. If it is rad
ically wrong, as the old system was, they
never can be.
Will tbe honest mind of the party join
me a few moments in examining the ob
jections that are urged ? Let us look at
them candidly, and see whether they are
sound. .
The first is—the people have been an
noyed and their work frequently inter
rupted by the importunities of candidates.
Second—the machinery or the system
imposes too much labor in receiving and
counting the votes for the different offices.
The’ first objection cannot possibly
arise from this system, for the simple
reason that it is not the system that
bringsput candidates. The number of
candidates for arn office will always be in
proportion to its salary. Whenever there
is ofiered to the multitude a valuable
office, there will be plenty of candidates
greedy for its profits, no matter what the
nominating system may be; But a few
years ago the office of Treasurer was
worth only about $l,OOO. We had but
few candidates for it, but we had some of
the best and safest men in the county.—
Now the office is worth over $5,000 a
year—a salary higher than that of .the
Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, wh*o has
more important and laborious.work to
perform than twenty. Treasurers. Is it
surprising that we have fifteen of twenty
candidates for that office; that we are
importuned daily lor our votes ; that"we
are taken from our harvest fields to make
pleasant promises or give unpleasant de
nials to hosts of applicants?
The evil lies in our submitting to such
salaries. Eeduoo the pay’, and you will;
reduce the number of applicants immedi
ately. It is in the power of the
elopers to do this, and justice to the peo
ple requires,that it should be done. By
the Act of Assembly the Commissioners
fix the compensation, and they may fix
it at a sum that will be a proper equiva
lent for the services performed, without
robbing- the people. It is understood
that Hr. .Bhoads is in favor of this move
ment. ■.
The system of paying the taxes to the
Treasurer-may be a good one, but’the
compensation is entirely too much. Be
fore this system was adopted the county
was often out of funds, and had to borrow
and pay. Interest for money, whilst thou
sands of dollars lay scattered around idly
in the bands of different collectors. NdV,
the money is paid dirCotly.into the treas
ury, and the county is always in funds
and has no interest to pay. But there is
no reason why such enormous compen
sation should be paid to an officer who
simply receives and disburses it. The
. labor and responsibility is no greater than
in former times,' when he received it
from the collectors. The only difference
is, the money now flows into the treasu
ry directly from the people, Instead of
through their agents. But this feeding
with public plunder hos got to be the
curse of this age. In every department
of,the government the salaries have been
increased-time and again from twenty
five to a hundred per cent., and still there
is an incessant cry for an increase of sal
aries! The people yield and bleed so
easily, and the office-holders‘have such
an enormous .capacity for swallowing;
that.the operation appears to be a pleas
ant one for both parties. If this evil is
to be corrected, it must commence with
the people. Do not permit, in your po
litical system,.such inducements to cor
ruption, and yOu ’will pot- be so much
troubled with “ patriots anxious to servo
their country.”
No doubt the annoyance from candi
dates is very great. But there is a way
to brush away flies and mosquitoes, and
if the convention will put a brush in the
hands of the people by q simple, resolu
tion, making it political-death to nnpoy
the community before the nomination
it will remove the nuisance. Let It be
made the diity of the tetiirp -judges in
convention to reject and’ discard the
naftio of any one who has been known to
have canvassed the county for a nomi
nation, and the thing will be done. It is
badnoughto be bored, with office seek
ers after the nomination is made. We
I have not to count back Djauy years wben
no pue ever thought of electioneering for
a nomination, except for, tbe office of
sheriff; It was considered disgraceful
and obtrusive to do so. , ’ .
The next objection is that It is trou
blesome to receive and count tbe votes for
the different offices.”
If the benefits of this system are great
er than the troubles, this should not be
made an objection. We will examine
the benefits in a moment. All systems
are more or less' troublesome, and the
labor attending this, system cannot be
much greater than the old, where an el
ection is honestly held for delegates To
•be sure, if you permit one or two log-rol
ling partisans to hurry toa pubjichouso,
nominate themselves as President and
Secretary of the meeting, and then ap
point themselves or some particular, fa
vorites delegates to the county conven
tion, this is not very much trouble. But
it is a farce, and an insult to every: hon
est man to call this an expression of the
popular will
Ou the other hand, If the oitizeus hon
-1 eatly meet am) hold aa- election for dele
gates, giving time for all to come in and
vote, so as to make It in reality the pop
. ular expression, they must necessarily go
, to about os much trouble to vote for. and
count the votes for delegates, as to vote
for and count the votes for the candidates
themselves. True, there are a few more to
count.- But the little additional trouble
this onuses, is amply compensated by the
corruptions It prevents and the truth it
elicits in obtaining the popular will.—
This leads us to the benefits of the sys
tem. Whkt are they ? J
Jet. It gives a correct expression of the
popular will. 2d. It prevents corruption
■ and log-roUlng -at the conventions.-
3d. It places the poor and the rich on a>
perfect equality of chances.
Our political professions and practice
ought to agree. TThe life-element of our
institutions is that every political act is
the f rule of the people legally and impar
tmlly expressed This ought, therefore,
to be the truth in our practice. The
Crawford County System is the only one
that obtains the_ direct and unbiased ex
pression of the peeple, without the inter
vention of third parties which always
carries with it danger and corruption.—
If in this system the people do not vote
according to their real sentiments and
convictions, It is their own fault arid fol
ly. The nqmes of' a uqmber'of candi
dates are presented to them i they have
time to inquire in regard to their qualifi
cations and merits; they are asked in
this system to give a candid expression
of their preferences; and when their pre
terenoes are made known by their votes
they are balanced by a simple arithmet
ical exercise without the danger of false-'
''.°L the P?wor of corruption, and the
will of the majority is announced. What
can be simpler or purer? What more
can he desired ? When there is not too
much pecuniary Inducement to swell the
list of candidates this must Infalllby re
suit in the choice of the people being the
a f e tile Disappointed
candidates have no right to complain, be
cause the tribunal to whose judgment
they submitted tflelr claims has directly'
amf without corrupt influence, decided
the question. 1
But take the old system, ana every ono
who possesses the least candor knows
that every year has demonstrated a sad
difference in these respects. Instead of
voting for the candidates the people vote
for the delegates. These delegates ns
sembiod in county oonventlon, oocoaloa
nlly with instructions, genetal/y without
instructions. But whether with or with
out instructions they voted for whoever
their individual partiality or their indl
vidual interests made it expedient to
support. They came to Carlisle, and
every political aspirant and trickster set
immediately to work on them, I
1 and proml3es*'weco' made, money and of-
I flcea jind ; futurd,'party Influence wore
.y’ for, and under such
&' resaiiro the delegates yrent into conveu
on. f ‘ Does any Intelligent man protend
thafthls'resulted In an expression of the
Will? It wasia subject of deri
sloui ’• * .
First—as a general thing there was no
popular will expressed at the delegate el
ections to be carried out. A particular
candidate,, (perhaps for Assembly, or
county Commissioner,) through local In
fluence carried the delegates for his town
! (shlp; it-an pXprfcsfflpn jR rej&rd to all
tlie other 'omces’ was smothered in his
gard to anything else. He then cohsld
ered these delogntes.as >ljlS;own special
property. - -He brought"thehl' to the con
vention and bartered them.about, op a
common article o J f'merchandise, to; pro
cure other votes withi v'-‘ My delegates
shall vote for- you delegates Vote
forme I”,v (This .was..evety years.experi
ence. It was utterly impossible that it
could result in an expression of the pop
ular choice., ’ '
Second—-but if ever there was an ex
pression of the popular will at the dele
gate elections, there was no certainty of
it being carried out. - The delegates had
to stem a torrent of unfortunate otDoe
seekers and their 'friends, who;button
holed them at every corner. Flattery
and corrupt promises were whispered in
thei r ears ns the means of obtaining, and
the reward of their favor; and threats of
political destruction as the penalty, of
their opposition. It ms in reality but a
mere matter of bargain and sale to the
highest bidder, and the few preferences
that were ever expressed at the delegate
elections had not the strength of a feath
er when opposed to the weight of interes
ted parties.
What was the result? Disappointed
candidates and their friends almost inva-'
riab’y went away feeling they had been
cheated out of the nomination. This
was in fact very often true; and whether
true or not, tbe corruption was so glaring
that it always left the question ifn certain,
ami gave them a plausible pretext for
thinking and believing it was true. It
was thou very natural for them either to
smother an embittered feeling-of disap
pointpieiit through injustice, or to open
ly denounce the convention and the
ticket, and perhaps repudiate the party
itself.
Let me put a test case. -What poor,
simple-minded, honest man stood any.
chance in the crowd of a convention un
der the old system? Place two candi
dates before these delegates for the same
office. One is an honest, upright man,
possessing every qualification, for the of
fice, but too good to stoop to mean trick
ery. His life has not been spent in tho
training of.dissimulation,ufla falsehood,
and he is.without political friends to Urge
his claims., The otlier/is a sharp, shrewd
:trickater, glib’with) thotoiigqe. very.def
ferehtial in’ his pqliteness, profuae.ih his
promises, and ' pushed forward by some
trained poUtioiansV'lt is cot hard to tell
which of these candidates, under; that
system, will succeed.
-But-, place .these; same men. before the
people. .. Keep them from importuning
by a resolution which shall' fix their-fate
if tbeycauvass the county. Let the peo
ple themselves inquire as to the qualifi
cations and merits of each, and the hon
est judgment of the majority will always
be in favor of the best and most worthy
man.
Another recommendation of the Craw
ford County System is, that it places the
poor and the rich on a perfect equality,
particularly if this corrupt and degra
ding system of electioneering is prohibit
ed by resolution.
It removes the danger in a great meas
ure of corrupt monied influence, for the
reason , that while it is easy to buy up
one or two men who may happen, to be
delegates, it is not-so easy to buy up a
whole township. The material in the
latter case is not so pliable; it is too ex
tensive and requires too much time and
too many dollars to mould it. Corrupt
influences;under the old sysjpm were
brought to bear in a concentrated form
in one day at the convention, and on one
or Iwo persona as the delegates. But this
power is dissipated and destroyed when
the people individually, numerous; and
naturally inclined'toldo right, when the
people who have months for inquiry; and
who are called lipoq directly to 1 express
their preferences, are. the Instruments of
the decision. Here the power of corrup
tion is too- difficult lind remote. The
field is too extensive for the operation.
The truth 4$ this electioneering system'
for nomindtiohs ought to be stopped. It
is a most serious injury both to the can
didate and the people. Aside from the
annoyance it inflicts, it is demoralizing
to both. Pecuniarily, also, It works a
great injury. A rich man does hot .feel
itso much, and he can lavish his money
to spread that disease and corruption
through tlie political body, that must
.finally cause political death. Bui it is
ruinous to a poor man. He is lured by
the tempting spoils of office to spend
three or four dollars a day for carriage
hire, as much more In other necessary
expenses, as much more in treating: aha
by the time the nomination is made he
has squandered in electioneering and an
noying the people, the very means that
were necessary for the support of his
wife and children. I have known such
instances. They are not rare. Thb nom
ination is made, and he is dis’appointed.
tie-feels chagrined, depressed and im
poverished. But worse than all, he feels
degraded that ho luui spent so. much mo
ney foolishly, while his family was suf
fering. We have known- Instances'in
Which he has drowned his.'disappoint
ment by lying.about■-taverns' or going
home drunk, venting.his curses on those
he thinks have betrayed hin), , ■
. If this system' of electioneering •is
stopped, the disappointed will at least
have the consolation of knowing they
are no worse off in pocket than when
they presented their names to the peo
ple; and that they, have not diminished
their self respect by that cringing and
fawning sycophancy that is so humilia
ting, but so lavishly expended in seeking
office; alas, so often expended withou
any reward,
In conclusion,,let me recommend to
the serious consideration of the people
