Columbia,
Saturday, d LILY 2. 1870.
Comumrimmous,letters, contributions, generally of
merit and interest to the reader, will be acceptable
from friends from all Quarters.
Shall Columbia be Represented?
For a number of years, we have been
without a member of the lower branch of
the legislature. During that time impor- •
tant measures, affecting . the interests of
Columbia, have been passed. Others in I
which we' alone are interested, might have
been introduced to the attention of the
legislature, had we been properly and di
rectly represented: While we urge these
claims of Columbia to have one member
of the legislature, we would not reflect on •
any of our representatives for want of
courtesy or prompt attention whenever
called upon.
Geographically, we occupy a position
which, if representation were based on
sections, would at once givens a member.
We are the most formidable part of the
"upper end," and head centre of the trade
of this portion of the county. Here is the
terminus of the Reading and. Columbia
Railroad, the Wrightsville Railroad and
the Port Deposit Railroad and an impor
tant station on.the Pennsylvania Railroad.
But these are merely secondary consid
erations, Our people and their direct in
terests are entitled to ii. Politically
Columbia and vicinity are regarded as
important points, being the second
town in the county in point of population,
first in many other interests. Yet our
claims to representation have for some
time been disregarded. Will they be again
this fall? We might name one or two
men, and may do so in our next, who
would be aeceptable to our people, and
who might safely be entrusted with our
affairs. We want an honest reliable man,
one who could come before the people
worthy of being entrusted with the ad
ministration of their private as - well as
public affairs.-
Ax ex-rebel paper of the South indulges
in severe reflections upon the present Ad
ministration for expending "eighty-eight
millions in the support of the army and
navy and in pensions." Scarcely any one
now pretends that the army and navy are
too large. Indeed, there is not a little
complaint that the former is not adequate
to the protection of the western frontier,
nor the latter strong enough to maintain
the dignity of the nation and the safety of
American citizens abroad. The annual
outlay for pensions to disabled soldiers
and the dependent relations of those who
sacrificed . their lives in defense of the
country is very large, it must be confessed.
13 at would it not be in better taste if our
southern friends, whose rebellion rendered
those sacrifices and this vast outlay nec
essary, would let somebody else complain
of this part of the national burdens?
We have the assurance of no less an au
thoritythan the Cincinnati Enquirer that,
notwithstanding the silence of the Ohio
platform, "a large and perhaps a controll
ing section. " of the Democratic party,
there and in the west, '" are for open and
unditnised. reputation." The . contest
within the party,:aecording to the same
Journal;:is bet Ween, tliciViVowed repudia
tors and: the' Pendretonians, who would
redeem the bonds with greenbacks, to be
issued for the purpose. The two sections
could not be harmonized, and silence was
therefore resorted to by way of comprom
ise. The • Democrats in the Tennessee
Legislature have begun by discrediting
State obligations; and the New Orleans
Picayune intimates that the example will
befollowed by other Southern Legislatures
—of course when they boast of Democratic
majorities.
TUE attempt of the British free trade
organ in Lancaster to associate the tariff
meetingwith Thuggery is as puerile as the
weakness of that paper's defence of its
treachery to the party. The complexion
of the meeting and its proceedings dis
prove such an invidious lie. This is only
a subterfuge of the Express to retreat from
the storm of indignation which is daily
gathering against its course. This very
attempt to justify its position by a trick
and a baseness known only to a pensioned
confederate in the cause of British capit
alists, deserves the most telling rebukes,
of the Republican party.
Tut "Engineers" of the tariff meeting,
as the Lancaster Express chooses to term
them, acted perfectly right, when they
did stigmatize its views as "British Free
trade teachings," All the free trade pow
ers of Europe are rejoiced at the sudden
change of sentiment of America. The
Welsh are starting up furnaces every
where, and the New York Post quotes
freely from the Expres. Iron in Europe
has advanced, and Washington "is alive
with British lobbyists and permeated with
British Gold. Does any orie - suppose that
the Express could escape such a forcible
emonstration?
THE :Express feels convinced of, the
•`weakness of • the movement" in the Co
lumbia Tara meeting and that little
comment is necessary," and then cooly
devotes nearly five columns of solid mat
ter to the subject. If a "weakness" of ours
brings out such extraordinary demonstra
tions, the readers of the Express may con
gratulate themselves that 'we were not
considered strong, or they would have
been taxed with several columns more of
British free trade sentiments.
FBOM the course of the Americo-British
organ in Lancaster, in reference to the
Columbia tariff meeting, it would seem
that any body who does,not agree with it,
either' on the tariff or on any political
or social 'queition 'is to be denounced a
"Thug." If this ,bis _ the, course which it
will ultimately adopt, and if 'it persist in
such an unreasonable and altogether sel
fish mode.pf discussion, it will find those
who ifißafgee with it will constitute a for
midable majority. ,
Ti debate disclosed the points upon
which the opponents of Free Trade in the
House are substantially agreed, and en
abled General Schenck to judge very near
ly what might be done, and he prepared a
short bill which lie tacked to the pending
Tax bill, and under pressure of the previ
ous question . , it was passed with great
unanimity, but thirty-five votes being re
corded against it; •

The New Party
The movement for a new party in the
western counties of the State, is assuming
dangerous proportions. It is impolitic
for general reasons—the greatest of which
is that the nominations have not yet
been made, and the complexion and stand
ing of the nominees not yet known. Upon
this subject the Pittsburg Gazette says:
"We do not desire to say much now.
The Gazette has always been in favor of
an incorrupt ballot-box. and political re
formation, and as decidedly opposed to
party disruption, when it is unnecessary.
It stood isolated and alone during the
short lived reign of Know Nothingism;
and sustained a great pecuniary loss, and
incurred no small amount of displeasure
for its fearless advocacy of the equal
rights, within Constitutional limits, of
native and foreign-born citizens. It has
nothing to regret for the course taken
then. There are many who entered into
that movement who wish now that its
memory could be buried in eternal obliv
ion. Its ghost haunts them by day and
by night. It was an unwise and impolitic
movement, and only brought grief to its
aiders and abettors. The present attempt
to divide the party, which has covered it
self with so much glory, is equally unwise
and uncalled for. If those whose names
are appended to the call really desire re
form, they can secure it better in the reg
ularly organized party, than in the un
fledgling that has given its first chirp for
popular favor. The Executive Committee,
' or any other, has not circumscribed the
rights of any voter. On the contrary, all
Republican voters are cordially invited to
meet at the usual places, throughout the
county, for holding primary elections in
the several Wards, Boroughs and Town
ships, on Saturday, August 27th, and
elect delegates from each election district
to the different conventions. Does the
" call " suggest any better plan? Can the
people be better trusted on the second of
July, than on the 27th of August? Can
not as good and as true men be elected
delegates at the one time as at the other?
Who is to determine whether a man is
" honest " or dishonest when he offers his
ballot?
.Editor
The weakness of the call, in point of
numbers, rather astonishes us. We are
informed that canvassers for signatures
have been bitsily at work in the more than
one hundred districts in the county, and
yet, the number who sign is comparative
ly very small. Calls in this neighbor
hood have a significant history. Many
a candidate for office haS exhibited a more
formidable array of names than that
which appears on the call for the new
party, and met with overwhelming defeat.
In no sense, is this call of the self-baptis
ed reform party alarming. Republicans!
stand to your guns. Your principles are
impregnable. If your usages need refor
mation, let the correction be applied at
once, and victory is certain.
The Third Party as a Speculation.
We have a dark hintthat "those names"
will be forthcoming soon. Rumor has it
that the most frantic efforts have been
put forth to swell the list, but that, aside
from several who attached their names to
encourage the Commercial in its venture
but without intending to have any part in
the enterprise, there is but a small stock
of names. This is strange. It is regarded
as one of the easiest things in political
management to get names signed to a
"call." But even this feature of the COM- -
mercial's effort is a partial failure. In the
meantime, the bantling gasps for breath,
while the good natured qinster who . has.
undertaken to nurse it, presses it franti:
tally to her withered breast. , But they
'furnish no food: Still she declares-, it is a
beautiful waif, fair in features, and sub-,
lime in its proportions. Though it has
made but one feeble "call," its nurse af
firms that it has been heard, ane;..that if
enough nurses come to her assistance it
will yet make a cry which shall be heeded.
But the poor waif is palpably for-sale. It
is evident the nurse intends to get her pay
by selling it to the highest bidder. Sena
tor Cameron will be charged double price
as lie is supposed to have the means.
Others will be expected to pay in propor
tion. But fair notice is given, that unless
some one takes the waif off her hands by
the 6th of July next, and pays nursing
expenses, she will utterly refuse it longer
support and fair as it is, let it die. . Who
wants a loose political bantling? Who
bids for a youngster without paternity,
but that is extensively promising in "re
form." It can be had cheap at the hos
pital, the yellow flag of which is always
streaming. The price will be lowered
each day till the 6th proximo, when, if not
adopted, it will be given away.—Pittsinery
Dispatch.
We can not condemn too strongly a
movement to form a new party when it is
not known what the nominations will be.
If the "rings" nominate bad men,then let
a second nomination be made, not out of
the party however. •
WE have the pleasure to announce - Mr.
John K. Reed of _Lancaster, city, as a can
didate for the office of County Commis
sroner, Mr. Reed, we know, is a gentle
man possessing the confidence of his fel
low men, and in every respect well quali
fied to make a good officer, to whose care
the most important interests of our coun
ty may safely be entrusted. We will be
much gratified if he should be elected.
He was a candidate for this office last
year and was 'within a few votes of being
elected. We sincerely hope that the tax
payers of Lancaster county will so far
consult their own best interests by pre
ferring him to a post of such importance,
that he may have an oppotunity of she w
ing his usefulness and the value of a good
officer.
AND now the Northwest, resenting the
idea that it is a distant missionary held,
to be cultivated by the more enlightened
East, proposes to take care not only of its
own industrial interests, but of the in
terests of the whole country also. Chica
go has organized a National Association
of the Friends of Home Industry,through
out the United States, "for the promo
tion of the principles and policy of pro
tection to all American industries which
are or may be exposed to injury by foreign
competition," upon a plan suggested by
the Hon. D. J. Alorrell, DI. C., President
of the Industrial League of Pennsylvania.
We hope to see Chicago send lecturers on
political economy to New York and Bos 7

communities.—lndustrial Bulletin. •
George Washington signed the first
tariff act "for the encouragement of man

Humphrey Marshall, advocating the en
couragement of "ouryoung manufactures
in preference to foreign ones imported
among us from distant countries. Alex

for the protection of labor and ingenuity."

The liecord.
FAST trains on railroads can only be
run when the stoppages to take water are
at long intervals. One of the English
methods of feeding locomotives is very ef
fective, and is about being introduced in
this country. At the Montrose station
the Hudson River Railroad has laid down
in the centre of the track a perfectly
straight trough, lined with pointed sheet
iron, 1200 feet long, 15 inches deep, and 18
inches wide. This trough, holding 16,000
gallons, is kept constantly supplied with
water from a spring. To the tender of
the locomotive between the hind trucks is
attached a semi-circular pipe, with a noz
zle so arranged as to drop down into the
trough at the will of the engineer. The
nozzle is directed towards the point the
locomotive is going and sinks to the depth
of two inches in the trough. It is stated
that when the train is running at the rate
of 30 miles anhour,andthenozzledropped
into the trough, 1634 gallons of water will
be forced into the tender before the entire
length of the trough has been passed
over.
The Coming Campaign
If the Republicans of Lancaster county
will give the question of the tariff the at
tention it deserves, we can gain many
hundreds of votes next fall. The ques
tion is a political one, it belongs to the
Republicans, who have always been its
warmest advocates.
On the sth of February last, when Mr.
Marshall, of Illinois, offered a resolution
that Congress should prepare a tariff bill
for revenue only, and when the motion to
lay on the table wds made, every democrat
voted against it; by this vote their record
was made in favor of tariff for revenue
only, which means free trade in only an
other form.
The demdcracy can not conduct the
campaign on the questeon of the tariff.
It belongs to the Republicans, and we
must fight democracy, free trade Repub

the whole British Free Trade League.
A Nice Placate Live,
There are many pleasanter places to live
in than New York, one might suppose,
after reading the accounts of the police
operations in that city on Saturday night
and Sun day,morning. Three hundred and
thirty-five arrests were made in twenty
four hours ending at 6 A. M. on Sunday,
and this was only forty-two more than on
the preceeding Saturday night. Among
the arrests on last Saturday night there
were no less than ten for shmting, stab
bing and assault with clubs. Six men
were stabbed,' several very badly, and one
of them - mortally; one woman was shot,
and the others were serious assaulty with
bludgeons. In the language of the Herald
"it was dangerous in many streets for a
quiet citizen to be seen abroad," and it
seemed as if' "the infernal regions had
opened their doors " on Saturday night.
Tun Tariff Meeting was a grand suc
cess so far as the object :for:which it was
called is concerned-placing the repub
licans or Columbia right on the tariff
question. The interest and enthusiasm
manifested was an earnest of what feel
ing.there is in the matter. A. few free
trade Republicans, whose connection
with the party means weakness and
dissension, started the cry of Thuggery
and kept some away. They are now anx
ious to confess their mistake and mend
the wrong, but their conduct in the mat
ter will be remembered. The notices of
the Columbia movement by the public
press is having its effect, and several of
our free trade organs are squirming un
der it. We devote a large part of - our lo
cal space to a'report of the proceedings
of the meeting.
Tian New York World. says the law for

denunciation of the World is tantamount
to a confession that the law touches the

OUR production of iron has. risen to
nearly two millions of tons a year. We
make nine-tenths of the carpets we use.
We have run the foreign manufacturers
almost entirely out of the American hard
ware market, and in every other depart
ment our progress is commensurate. At
the bare prospect of our returning to Free
Trade again new investments in • manu
factures have stopped, notwithstanding
our great national resources and the in
herent spirit of energy and enterprise in
our people. It is the threatened Free
Trade Legislation that has done this.

EVANGELICAL 2S-LLIANGE..—On last Thurs•
day a meeting was convened in the Pres
byterian Church at Harrisburg for the or
ganization of "The Evangelical Alliance
for Central Pennsylvania." Rev. Dr. Rob
inson of Harrisburg was chosen temporary
President and Rev. E. Ti. Nevin, of Lau
caster city Secretary. The alliance will
embrace the territory lying east of the Al
legheny mountains to the eastern bound
ary of Lancaster county. The objects and
character' of this alliance ere set forth in
the second article of the constitution adopt
ed. As this question is el:citing much int
erest and commettteven in our own midst,
we give the article entire.
A - rticic H. The basis of this organization
shall be the concensus of the various Evan
gelical Confessions of Faith as reduced Al
hence at its formation, and since approved
by the separate European organizations;
and by the Evangelical Alliance for the
United States of America, to wit:
I. The divine inspiration, authority and
sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures.
2. The right and duty of private judgment
in the interpretation of the Holy Scriptures.
3. The Unity of the Godhead, and the
Trinity ol the persons therein.
4. The utter depravity of human nature
in consequence of the fall.
5. The incarnation of the Son of God, his
work of atonement of sinners, of mankind,
and his mediatorial intercession and reign.
6. The justification of the sinner by faith
alone.
7. The work of the Holy Spirit in the con
version and sanctification of the sinner.
S. The immortality of the soul, the res
urrection of the body, the judgment of the
world, by our Lord Jesus Christ, with the
eternal blessedness of the righteous, and
the eternal punisn meta. of the wicked.
9. The divine institution of the Christian
ministry, and the obligation and perpetu
ity of the ordinances of Baptism and the
Lord's Supper.
It being, however, distinctly declared,
that this brief -ummary is not to be re
garded in any formal or ecclesiastical sense,
as a creed or confession, nor the adoption
of it as involving an assumption of the
right autboratively to define the limits of
Christian brothertniod, but simply as an
indication of the class of persons whom it
Is desirable to embrace within the Alliance.
Article 111. The objects of this organi
zation are: by correspondence and other
wise to procure and diffuse such facts, and
make such proposals of effort, as may pro
mote Evangelical union with a view to
greater success in Crwistian activity; to
maintain and exhibit the essential un'ty of
the Church of Christ; to counteract the in
fluence of infidelity and superstition, es
pecially in their organized forms; to assist
the cause of religious freedom everywhere ;
to hold up the supreme. authority of the
Word of God ; to urge the observance of
the Lord's day; and to correct the immoral
habits of society.

member of Church to rent a building to be
used as a hotel, where intoxicating drinks
are sold.
Rcso/vcd, 2. That drinking intoxicants at

LEBANON VALLE'S COLLEGE. o i Ia -
delphia Press in noticing the commence
ment exercises of Lebanon Valley College
of which Rey. T. R. Vickroy, formerly of
this place, is President says:
The exercises connected with the fourth
annual commencement of this young and
growing institution of learning came off
very successfully during the last week.
Though it is only four years since this
college was estabtishod by the East Penn
sylvania Conference of the 'United Brethren
Church, it has already drawn together a
corps of professors for the several depart
ments, and is attended by one hundred and
fifty-one students.
The number of visitors from the various
sections of the conference to attend the
commencement exercises this year was
larger than usual. The estabtishing of a
college under the auspices of the United
Church here in the East was an experi
ment; but from all appearances now, the
friends of this noble enterprise have great
reason to take fresh courage and go on.
On Monday evening, the 13th, the oration
before the Philokosmian Literary Society
was deliverea by J. H. Jacobs, Esq., of
Reading, Pa. His theme was " American
Politics and Politicians." He argued with
much force, and in a very happy style, the
importance of a reformation iu politics, and
of the necessity of electing honest and capa
ble men to public office. The address was
chastely written and well delivered.
On Tuesday evening, the 14th instant, an
address was delivered by Professor Samuel
D. Hillman, of Dickinson College. His
subject was " The War Element in Society."
This was decidedly a very able address.

During the great Philadelphia hail storm,

Syria is haunted by old women who

A. Tama= EXAMPL - Z.—Tbat was a sad
ly suggestive death which occurred in the
Harrisburg prison on Wednesday. The de
ceased was a man in the very prime of
manhood—the son of most excellent par
ents-he was carefully trained at home—
sent to Europe to finish his education and
complete him in all the accomplishments;
a young man of remarkably line talents, he
studied and graduated with high honors in
law, medicine and theology—he was learned
in the languages—became a Professor in
one of our Colleges—was a skillful sur
geon—inherited a fine fortune—became ad
dicted to intoxication—spent his patrimony
—wasted his mother's money and that of
his relatives—became a low drunkard and
vagraut—made himself a common nui
sance, and had to be locked up in jail as a
protection to the community—was dis
charged from jail only to return again, and
again, and again, until about ten days ago
he returned for the last time, and died on
Wednesday morning a raving maniac from
the effects of his frequent and violent
drunken debauches. This was the end of
'Professor P. S. K., formerly of York coun
ty, and of Gettysburg. The name, however,
is nothing • the lesson is everything. How
many of the bridiaut young men who have
entered on the same path will take heed,
and save themselves and their families from
the shame of such a career and such a
death l—Lcdoer.

SPECIAL NOTICE.
The Mixing Machine.
Injure the main spring of a watch and every
portion of the works becomes disordered, The
human stomach is to the human system what
that elastic piece of metal is to a chzonometer. It
influences the action of the other organs, and
controls, to a certain extent, the whole living
machine. The comparison may be carried fur
ther: for as the weakness or other imperfections
of the main apt lug Is indicated on the face of the
time-piece, so also is the weakness or other dis
orders of the stomach betrayed by the face of the
invalid. The complexion is sallow or faded, the
eyes are deficient in lustre and intelligence, and
there is a worn, anxious expression in the whole
countenance which tells as plainly as written
words could, do that the great noartshing organ
whosa office it is to minister to the wants of the
body, and to sustain and renew all its parts, is
not preforming its duty. It requires renovating
and regulating, and to accomplish this end,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters may be truly said
to be the one thing 'want. The broken male spring
of a watch may be replaced by a new one, but
the Stomach can only be repaired and strength
ened, and this Is one of the objects of the famous
vegetable restorative which for eighteen years
has been waging a successful contest with dys
pepsia in all climates. As a specific for indiges
tion it stands alone, when the resources of the
pharmacopoeia have been exhausted, without,
at best, doing more than mitigating the corn
-plalnt;.a course of this wholesohie and pala
table, yet powerful, stomachic effects a perfect
and permanent cure, In all cases of dyspepsia
the liver is more or less disordered, and upon
this important gland, as well as upon the stom
ach and bowels, the Bitters act singular dis
tinctness, regulating and reinvigorating every
secretive and assimilating orgab on which
bodily and mental health depend.
