A - Public meeting of _ the Republicans
• 'of Columbia, Marietta and vicinity,
friends of protection to Anierican Indus
held in the Town Hall on Mon
• day:evening June 20th, to' discuss the
tariff question and adopt such measures
as will secure a general expression of the
sentiments of thOßePublicans of Lancas
ter county. The call for the meeting is
signed by nearly two hundred republicans
who, "believing that the prosperity of our
country, and the comfort and happiness
of her citizens are endangered by the free
:trade movement," and deprecating "the
course which professed Republican jour
nals in our midst are pursuing," invite
their fellow citizens to meet in council to
deliberate upon this all-important ques
tion. Let every republican voter 'be pres

poetry than the prose of life.
This eloquent testimony of the Phila

Dickens gives but a feint picture of the
esteem in which he was held, and of the
firm hold he had upon the people of this,
as well as his native land. It surely is a

"Dors with the woman doctors " was
the rallying cry of the frightened M. Ds.
at the late convention of the Pennsylva

Was made, it was not known in what par
tioular shape she was to come; whether
fully chignoned and paniered cap-a-pie, or
draped in the severe trowsers of our Flor
ence sisters; but none the less did she
strike terror and consternation to the souls
of the good doctor's. The young and bolder
members vainly tried to rally them and
persuade them at least to parley with the
enemy. They fluttered together in wild
confusion, like frightened hens, as though
a hawk instead of a dove had entered the
poultry-house. Day after day passed with
out restoring equanimity to their dismayed
spirits. Vaccination, quacks, patent
medicines, all were forgotten in this im
minent peril. It is : sad, indeed, to wit
ness the discomfiture of such grave and
ponderoui dignity by so trivial a cause,
and to listen'to their wild cries of alarm
and prophecieS - of, disaster. Unabl6 to
cope with the female doctor even in this
shadowy presentation, they attacked with
virulence those misguided men who had
consulted with her, demanding that they
should be thrust without the camp. "lie
that bath touched the unclean thing, let
him be aecurSed." "In What college was she
graduated?" cries one feebly. In what
kind of „Latin'doesshe write her perscrip

Anderson's Ugly Duck. "Can you lay
eggs?" Then of what use are you in the
world? For these hens' always say 'We
and the world,' lsmowing that they were
half the world, and by far the better half."
One old gentleman, his hair on end with
nervousness, gives us a picture of the fe
male doctor and the disasters that liein
her Juggernaut progress, which is indeed
lamentable enough to make angels weep.
But our alarm is more immediate. What
shall be done to restore these grave and
respectable gentlemen to calm and com
posure? If the mere shadow of the com •
ing woman rendered them thus unfit to
transact needful business when strength
ened in conclave, what will they do when
left to fight single the usurper who would
thrust them from their buggies and victo
riously mount their saddlebags? How

So 3 one says that the first thing the

statement that the work on' the Lincoln
monument, at Springfield, Illinois, will be
completed so far is the funds now in the
treasury will pay for before winter. This
will cover the expense of the monument,
the Lincoln'statue, and the United States
coat-of-arms. About $55,000 more will be
necessary for the group° of war statuary.

O.Ki4 of the Most popUlar fallacies in
exiStOnce is the unerring accuracy with
which the publishers of illustrated jour
nals contrive to have a special artist on
-the scene of any important event, a life
like - picture of which is supposed to be
presented to the public in a few days after.
A. new York paper of this class in its is
sue of last week represents the capture of
the Fenian General O'Neil. The General
is attired (in the picture) in a full suit of
uniform, With top boots Kossuth hat and
feather, and. a huge sabre girded to his
martial loins: The United States Mar
shal is represented holding a pistol to his
head, and pushing him into a covered
carriage, a clarence. How pleasing to all
lovers of truth it is to lumw that General
O'Neil's costume on the occasion was
widely different from that represented by
the special artist; that the countenance
of the General is no more like that repre
sented in the engraving than Parepa
Rosa's is to that of the Empress Eugenie;
and, finally, that the close clarence was in
reality an open buggy, devoid of the ap
pearance of a doctor's equipage.

the money. Mr Tweed has cast his bread

the promise. Verily he will have his re

A Voice of Warningil."Address of Governor
Geary—to the Freedmen of PoMsylvania.
Yellow-Citizens/ In receiving the tart ,
ous testimonials.of Confidence which have
been conferred upon me by the people of
my native State, I am deeply sensible of
the circumstance under which they have
been bestowed, and of the corresponding
ditties and responsibilities imposed upon
me during the fulfilment of my term of
the Chief Executive office in your State
Government. Notwithstanding a heart
animated with pure and upright intentions
toward the welfare of theCommnonwealth,
and with all the faculties allotted to me
unceasingly devoted to its service, I feel
deeply conscious that I stand in need of
your indulgence, while I thus exerciseone
of the prerogatives of the position of Gov
ernor, to address the people when in his
opinion he is justified by circumstances
effecting their welfare and interests, and
to expect from them an honest, candid
and liberal support in return.
With such circumstances now before
the people of Pennsylvania, I feel that I
would be recreant to my duty, ungrateful
to a generous people, and untrue to my
self, if I should fail to express to you my
opinions upon a subject of public concern,
which demands from you immediate at
tention, and prompt, intelligent and inde
pendent action.
The inviolability of the Sinking Fund,
by which our public debt is to be reduced
and finally extinguished, must be main
tained against all attacks upon it, whether
open or secret! A public debt is not a
blessing but and evil!—an evil not to be
measured by the amount of the direct pe
cuniary burden it imposes upon the peo
ple, but by its whole effect—the entire
amount of all its consequences. These
consequences have been pointed out so
fully by the fathers of the republic, and
by the most reliable writers upon political
economy; and a conviction of them is so
deeply impressed on the minds. of all re
flecting men, that I need not recapitulate
them, nor insist even upon their existence.
The State debt must be paid—paid hon
estly to the utmost farthing, and as soon
as it can reasonably be done; to this doc
trine I am irrevocably pledged in every
possible manner—and the credit of the
Stale must be kept up to its highest point
in order that this important object may
be most readily accomplished. No belief
or suspicion of bad faith, or of profligacy,
on our part, should be permitted to get
abroad or derive the slightest support or
countenance from the conduct of our
government in any of its branches. It
should be understood everywhere that we
have an incorruptible and faithful judici
ary; a Legislature and an Executive dis
posed to work together, and to co-operate
heartily in maintaining the honor of the
Commonwealth.
The operation of the Sinking Fund was
temporarily interrupted, or rather weak
ened by the recent war, but by the blessing
of Heaven upon the patriotic efforts of the
nation, the days of peace have returned.
There can now be no excuse for diverting
from that fund anv of the moneys pledged
to it by the Cons - titution and the laws,
nor for tampering in any manner with its
regular administration.— -
But it is known to you that a bold and
daring attempt was made in the Legisla
ture, during its last session, to invade the
Treasury and seize the proceeds of the
sale of the public works of the State, de-
Posited there, in the Sinking Fund, for
the use of certain affiliated corporations
of this Commonwealth, and that attempt
was defeated only by the interposition of
the Executive veto. This was to ine an
ungracious and unpleasant task, to resist
the majority in the Legislature composed
of Senators and Representatives chosen
by you, under the regular forms of the
Constitution presumably for their intelli
gence and integrity; and it was inexpedi
ent, perhaps, as a question of personal
interest and ease, that I should incur the
hostility of powerful enemies by the course
adopted. But I saw before me the open
path of duty, pointed out by the clear
words of the Constitution and by my oath
of office; and I did not hesitate to treat
the subject with the firmness and action
which the urgency of the case required.
The bill to distribute the securities in
the Sinking . Fund among several newly
incorporated railroad companies, and to
substitute for them
. Very inferior, if not
ri t
u terly worthless Orions, was sent to
01 1 1,Y,thejday , ne leceilingf thelfknal
a journment of the e - latuereXthough
i ' has - passed both Houses about two
w eks before. Borrowing time from the
usual hours of rest, I was enabled, the
next morning, to return the bill with ray
objections to the House in which it had
originated. There its futher consideration
was postponed, and no final judgment
upon it was pronounced. It stands now
among the open questions which may be
revived at a, future session. It may again
be introduced and passed next winter or
at any subsequent time, without embar
rassment from any prior decision of either
House against it. And if the member
ship of both Houses shall be so made up
at any time that a two-thirds vote for the
measure can be obtained in each, its
enaction into a law will become certain,
and the burden of your taxes will he inev
itably increased and prolonged.
An Executive veto is in the nature of
an appeal to the people, to enable them to
pass upon controverted questionS involv
ing grave considerations of public policy
or safety. Upon a question of this kind,
in which every man, woman and. child in
the Commonwealth is interested, this
great prerogative of the Executive, con
ferred by the Constitution, should be fear
lessly exercised. Is. not this such, an
occasion? Is not the Aubject considered
vitally important? Is it not urgent that
you should determine it for yourselves, in
the selection of men to represent you in
the Legislature of 1871.
Be this as it may, this question is in
.fact submitted for your judgement. The
issue upon it was distinctly and openly
made at the last session between the Leg
islature and the Executive, and that issue
is now before you for your arbitrament,
and you should instruct your representa
tives, in each and every county, in accor
dance with your wishes and determina
tion upon this important subject.
Should you, by your indifference to the
question, or by a careless and uncalcula
ting choice of the person to represent you
intheLegislature,encourage and strength
en the combination of men who desire and
threaten to invade your treasury, rest• as
sured. that the vast fund now sacredly de
voted to the payment of the public debt
will be seized. and carried off.
The nine and a half millions of dollars
of securities in that fund, with all the in
terest to accrue thereon, will be voted
away from the people's treasury: the State
credit will be prostrated; your taxes will
be increased, and your Executive, will
impotent to help you. If; On the'contrary,
alive. o your interests and honor, you sus
tain the appeal sent to you from the Ex
ecutive Chamber, and you are now about
to select your candidates for Representa
tives, you should determine to reaffirm,
with emphasis, the command of the Con
stitution, that "no part of said Sinking
Fund shall be used or applied otherwise
than in the extinguishment of the public
debt," you will strike a just, severe, and
timely blow at corrupt legislation and
protect yourselves against grevious pe
cuniary loss.
The lesson will not be lost. Its saluta
ry effect will be great and lasting. Both
for the present and future it will improve
the tone of public morals; repress the un
blushing effrontery and corruption of the
lobby; curtail the influence of the arro
cant corporations; and secure the sincere
commendation of all good and patriotic
men.
The assault upon the treasury, in the
passage of the nine and a half million bill,
through the ost corporate xame upono
the evil inilue m nces of s ons
the Legislature, is not the only one. It
possesses pre-eminent importance, but it
does not stand alone. Then fellow-citi
zens, has not the time come for determinz
g the question of title to sovereign power
in this commonwealth? Is that power a
rightful and indefeasible estate of the
people, or does it reside in incorporate
companies created by our laws? Will you,
with your eyes open, coscientiously sur
render the control over your own repre
sentatives, and give your consent that
corporations shall decide your laws?
Shall our government be pure, patriotic
and just, true to yourselves, and true to
the sound principles of the Administra
tion? Or shall it be the instrument of
corporate ambition and avarice and an
object of jest, ridicule and reproach? Or,
in other words, shall corporations super
sede the Government • and become the
masters of the, people? And now, my
fellow•-citiiens, with this warning I ]eave
this important subject in your hands,
trusting that you will be inspired with the
will and the resolution to defend the in
tegrity of your Government, and to pre
serve unsullied the credit and honor of the
