The Constitutional Convention.
This body has completed its work.
The new Constitution proposed by
it is to be submitted to a vote of the
people on the third Tuesday of De
eetnber next, being December 16.
with our next number we expect to
send out an exact copy of the proposed
new Constitution which we hope and
believe will be favorably received by
all the people.
Of course there are some provi
sions in it that each voter would pre
fer to have omitted, it taken as a
whole we feel very confident it is a
great improvement on our present
Constitution.
The people in the new and smaller
counties have great reason to be
pleased with the work of the Con
vention. The new Constitution will
secure to every county a Represen
tative in the Legislature. The value
of this provision to t lie small eouit
tiican hardly be over-estimated.
It will secure an annual appropria
tion to the common schools of 4 *at
least one million of dollars;" that is
42.9 per cent more than the largest
-urn heretofore appropriated. School
oislricts that now receive from the
Mate £ 100 will receive if the new
Constitution i- adopted at least
§ i 42.90, ail others in the same
p op- r;ion. We tiust this generous
provision for the support of the com
mon schools will enlist the active sup
port oi every voter in Potter county
in favor of the new Constitution.
There are many other provisions
of great importance, all of which are
in the interest of honesty, justice and
the welfare of the people. There is
not a -ingle change proposed that
will meet the approval of those who
desire dishonest legislation or who
live In dishonest political move
un ni-. This fact ought to commend
the instrument and we believe will
do it, to the great mass of the peo
ple. Lor these always prefer tore
foim acknowledged e\ils when asuu
opportunity is offered.

The November Elections.
1 lie Rej uiblican- have not carritfi
a.- many slate- I hi- year a- lhe\ dids
y ar ago, whereai. our Democratic
iVieiids bring out their banners ami
fill the air "iih their rejoicings.
That is acting on the principle oi
the man that fell ami broke his leg,
rejoicing that he had not broken
both 1-us. The Democracy are not
a- badly beaten a- last year—that is
all- but that is just wliat has occurred
periodienlly after every Presidential
• ieetion >inee the Republican parte
< inu into power. Duly the reaction
i othing like so great this time as
.I "a- after the Presid, ntial election
l 1 T>o—and the prospect of electing
a Republican President in InTO
actually largely improved lv the
. lections of this year, because they
make it pretty certain that the Hour
non Democracy will be the chief op
]>onent ,n that campaign and the
people of this County will never elect
a Bourbon Democrat a; President of
the United States,
The result of the November elec
tion in brief is as follows:
New \ oik elects the Democratic
state ticket by about 10,000, but
elects a majority of Republicans to
both branches of the Legislature.
1 uat i- better than we e\er did in
the "off year" before.
New Jersey went Republican— a
close gain for the right. Maryland
went Democratic as usual; Virginia,
ditto; Wisconsin was carried by the
Farmers' party.
Minnesota, Massachusetts, Arkan
sas ami Mississippi went Republican.
All tilings considered we have
done well and we have no shadow of
doubt that the Republican party
will continue in power for many
years to come; aud that it will hon
estly and faithfully reflect the will
>1 the people and secure many addi
ional reforms, adding every year to
he glory of its record.
"'OUR' Almanac," for 1874. is re
ceived and is a charming little me
nento of old times when almanacs
vere pleasant annual visitants and
lousehold companions, to be con
sulted and trusted; instead of fright
ail protrayals of diseases and -eine
ties, continually reminding one of
enible things that may happen any
lay in the year. Better have a chill
jr a fever and be done with it than
have a quack almanac always before
one's eyes.
The Look Ahead.
The reverses which have befallen
the Republican party will in the
end, we believe, turn out to In- a real
beuelit to it instead of an injury.
They will serve to purify it and
make it better able to cope with its
old enemy, Democracy, in the years
that are to come. It cannot be seri
ously harmed nor permanently dis
abled if the principles of truth and
justice are eternal, for it is founded
upon them. While they remain it
will have its mission, and continue
to IH? a power in the land, notwith
standing the clouds that may from
time to time overshadow it. The
party is in reality no weaker to-day
than it was last year, as is conclusive
ly proven by the fact that the Democ
racy shows no increase of strength.
We were defeated, not because we
had not voters enough, but because
they remained away from the polls.
There is one fact to be learned
from the result of Tuesday's election
and it will be well if it is heeded
alike by both Republicans and Dem
ocrats. That fact is that the people
are inure independent of party than
they formerly were. Men are think
ing and acting for .lu-iuselvcs, and
as a matter of consequence refuse to
vote for candidates that do not pos
sess their eontidenee. Political pro
fessions and platforms count fot
very little now, as compared with
their former inllut-nce. The great
demand of the public is for honest
and capable men in all ollicial sta
tions. We rejoice that it is so. foi
the sure result will be to compel po
litical parties to be more careful ii
the selection of their standard bear
els.
The defeat of least Tuesday ren
dors it certain that, for the ncx
three years, af least, we shall have t<
contend witti the Democratic party
That fact ensures the election ot :
Republican President in ISTfi, am
probably a Republican Governor o
\v yy York in This will mon
than compensate for our present de
feat; and if in the meantime, oui
party leaders shall learn wisdon
from their experience, our presell
misfortune will turn out to be bu
the discipline necessary to prepan
the party for greater triumphs ove-i
wrong in the future than it ha
achieved in the past.— Buffalo Ex

For the Journal and Item
Thanksgiving and the Soldier's
Monument.
On the 27th of the present month
as every-laxly knows, is Thanksgiving
day; and how many Thanksgiving
dinners will be prepared at an extn
exjxmse in Potter county ? Will tin
miniber be less than one thousand o
the average additional expense 1M
less than one dollar each? "Well,"
replies my well-to-do neighbor, "sup
pose the people or the County do pay
a thousand dollars for their Thanks
giving dinners; have they not tin
right to do so. and have we not nine!
to be thankful for? Let your mine
glance back over the last twelvi
years," he continues, "and then
if we. the American people, shouh
not be very grateful for the blessing:
conferred on us as a nation withii
th's>e years?"' Twelve years ago tin
sun shone on three hundred thou
*aud Rebel bayonets charged at tin
nation's heart; twelve years ago tin
tramp of the Union soldier w as heart
from Maine to California—from tin
great lakes of the north to the di
vision line between freedom and sla
very, all hurrying to the field of con
fliet. Then, too, more than three
millions of God's men ami worner
groaned under the "sum of all vil
lianies." Then, too, the soul of John
Brown had but newly arrived in
Heaven ami the hands of his mur
derers were still red with his blood.
How is to-day? Slaves do not
breathe in Columbia. Those mil
lions ol'slaves are slaves no longer,
but men before the law. A few are
in the council chambers of the nation,
some in the various professions—law,
medicine and divinity, still more en
gaged as teachers in the schools ol
our country—all moving forward to
a higher and nobler life. And the
million armed soldiers of the North
and South, Cineinnatus-like, re
turned to their homes—following the
plow, or pursuing other peaceful and
profitable employments. In view
of all these blessings, should we not
indeed be ingrates were we unthank
ful or did not duly observe the dav
designated by our chief magistrate?
Certainly, I answer, we ltave very
nuch for which to be thankful. Sla
very is a thing, ami a very hateful
hing, of the past.
The shock of contending armies is
10 more heard or felt—hot a rebel
nusket is shouldered, not a sabre
11. auis in defiance ot law, not a bu
jle calls to arms. The absent loved
jnes have returned and "soft-eyed
>eaee" spicads her wings caressingly
>ver us.
But wait, did all the soldiers—all
die absent loved ones return? Are
■here no vacancies around the Thanks
giving board? Ah,yes, and in hearts,
too. The glorious achievements of
which we are justly proud and for
which we arc devoutly thankful, were
won at a fearful cost. From this
same little county of Potter went
forth at their country's call nearly
three hundred brave young hearts
which have long since ceased to pul
sate—some of them were stilled by
lleltel bullets, some by burning fe
vers contracted in miasmatic regions
of the South, and some by a process
practiced only by fiends who could
fight for slavery, namely, starvation !
These three hundred voiceless bodies
now sleep in nameless graves under
the sands of the sunny south. We
to-day are proud of, and give thanks
for the achievements for which they
gave their lives. They partake not
of our joyous thanksgiving to-day—
though their blood helped Us to the
victory. No stone reared by friends
marks tiieir resting place—no moth
ers, wives or sisters hands strew
flowers over their graves. Theii
bodies will rest and return to then
kindred dust where they now repose,
and shall their deeds and names ulsc
sink into oblivion ?
A monument to their m morv has
been commenced and carried forward
as far as the funds collected would
do it, the work 1 icing now suspended
for want of means. A few hundred
dollars paid over to the treasurer
Hon. A. (. Olmsted, will eompleu
it. Can we not afford to pay at
much towards the erection of a tomb
stone to the memory of our dead he
roes as we pay for a single dinner!'
Friends,citizens, men, and last but not
least, women of Potter county, whet
you come around your Thanksgiving
table will you bear this subject it
mind and semi to the Treasurer om
half as much as your dinner costs.
If you do the monument w ill be com

too long already by neglecting what
we each ami all know to be a simph

LEW ISVII.LE. November sth, 1573.
En. JOURNAL: Ihe quarterly meet
i iug at LewL.ville, has actually beei
! held. For some time it had been re
garded as a future event that was
1 almost certain to come, bv;t the tiim
of its arrival could only be conjee
tured. lb v. Mr. I>avies announced
it for Oct. 25th and 2♦ t h, and on tin
last named day it was set down foi
the evening of Nov. 2nd. Ifanothei
change was contemplated the notict
did not arrive in time to prevent s
large congregation from assembling
to hear the Presiding Elder. They
were doomed to disappointment it
this, but Kev. Mr. Davies preacher
an excellent discourse and then tin
(Quarterly Conference met and trail
saeted its appropriate business. Why
Kev. Rice was not there no one could
tell, hut it was suggested that tin
time had not been changed a sulti
cient number of times yet.
The iQuarterly Meeting for the
Lewisville charge immediately pro
ceeding this was first announced foi
about the middle of August and then
changed from time to time about
four times and finally came off a lit
tle before the middle of September.
Quite a number of those who desired
to attend had lost track of it as it
skipped about and only learned the
exact time of its occurrence when it
hat! become an event of the past.
The congregation was small and in
taking up the usual collection it was
found to tie far below the required
amount. While efforts were Vicing
made to raise the balance, an ••uncon
verted friend" suggested to the Stew
ard, in a whisper, that as this was
only one of about four appointments
of this identical Quarterly Meeting,
the balance of the collection should
V)e raised at the other appointments.
Another proposed that the balance,
when raised, should be turned over
to Rev. Mr. Vanvradeiiburg to pay
him for the several extra announce
ments he had been compelled to
make. This would seem to have
be n a just use of a portion of the
collection however raised.
The immediate followers of the ini-!
nortal Wesley were first called j
Methodists from their regular and j
?xact manner of living, but some of
lis distinguished disciples in these
lays do not seem to consider the
inie of holding Quarterly Meetings
i thing about which they need to be
xaet and regular. Undoubtedly
:his is a great improvement upon old
limes, but it sometimes occasions no
iittle inconvenience. C.
EDS. JOURNAL: Not long ago 1
read an .article in a leading city paper
(AT. Y. Ecanyelist) entitled "Not
Quite so Fast, Brethren," and indeed
1 have read main' arguments in said
paper touching the vexed "tobacco
question." 1 have sometimes been sat 1
a* 1 noticed a lack of christian candor
which ought to pervade the whole
bring of every follower of Christ
when dealing with a great national
evil—and such, I trust, every candid
man and woman will pronounce to
bacco, whether using it or not. And
I here repeat what I have before
publicly said: that a majority of
those who habitually use tobacco, do
so because they can't help it. And
I am ready to bring evidence to prove
tliia assertion true. If by use we
have become slaves to so weak a
master, and have not moral or physi
cal force si fficient to bseak from its
power shall we not raise a warning
cry to our friends, aid s, eciallv oui
sons, to deter them from coining un
der the power of a tyrant that loads
with chains and goads us along
through life? "Disguise thyself as
tliou w ill, slavery, still tliou art cruel,
and though thousands of all ages are
iu thy cruel grasp, thou art no less
bitter ou that account;" and if this
vast number is increasing in oui
land, shall we? make light of our po
sition? Shall we not rather cry out
"Oh ! wretched men that we are, who
shall deliver us?" Yes, fellow citi
zens, this is a mighty evil, and one
not easily got rid of-—or much long
or kept back from the public view
The irrepressible conflict v ill soor
begin.
1 read sadly the last tine of the ar
ticle above nduded to: "Smokers
bev:are ! your time may l>c at hand
on account of the spirit that seemed
to indite it. as I honestly believe that
not one in fifty can overcome the
habit. ALLEGANY.

and its merited rewards. Gradually
but under the providence of God surely,
as we trust, the nation is recovering
from the lingering result of a dreadful
civil strife. For these, and all the oth
er mercies vouchsafed, it liecouies us as
a i>cople to return heartfelt and grate
ful acknowledgments, and, with our
thanksgiving, we may unite prayers foi
the cessation of local and temporary

1 therefore recommend that on Thurs

the jieople meet in their N spectiveplaces
of worship to make acknowledgment to
Almighty God for His bounties and His
protection, and to offer to Him prayers
for their continuance.
