CLEARFIELD, Ta. WEDNESDAY UOHNINO, OCTOBER 4, 1871 Till. OM SC HOOL HOLHt:. I flat an hoar to-day, -John, Beside the old brook stream Where we were ichool-boya in old tlmo When manhood wai a dream t Tlie brook in choked with fallen loaves, The pond ii dried away, I icitroe believe that you would know The dear old place to-day. The school house Is no more, John, Beneath our locust trees, The wild ross by the window's side No more wavas in the brsuw i . a The scattered stones look desolate, The sod they rested on Has been plowed up by stranger hands, fitnoe you and I were gone. The ohesnut tree Is dead, John, And what is sadder now, The broken grape-vino of our swing IlangR on the withered bough, ; I read our names upon the dark, . ' And found ttie pebbles rare Laid up beneath the hollow tide, As wo had piled them there. Beneath the grass-prown bank, John, 1 looked tor oar uld spring j That bubbled down the alder path , Throe paoea from the swing i The rushes grow upon the briuk, The pool is black and bare, And not a foot for many a day, It set ins has trodden there. I took the old blind road, John, That wandered np the bill 'Tit darker than it used to he, And seems so loue and still The birds yet sing upon the boughs Where once the sweet KrHlp hung, But not a voice of human kind Where all our voices rung. I sat me on (he fence, John, That standH ai in old time, The same bulf panel In the path We used so ol't to climb ' And thought how, o'er the bars of life. Our playmates bad pained on, And left me counting on the spot The faciei that were gone. SPtECH OF II0.. GLOME II. tedlet;).

TIIK MEMOBY Of VALLANDKIIIAM. Who can commence tho discussion of political questions without being carried involuntarily to that sccno ol anguiuh and death which so lately clothed our party', our Stale, and our country in mourning? "Tho silver cord is loosened ; the golden howl is broken." Tho voico that spoke so eloquently and w ell is stilled. Tho intellect which thought o truly exerts its powers on other subjects j in other spheres. The strong bravo heart heats not to tho conflicts of time. When I think of thiH I fcol that wc might imitate tho captives of Jtidca, who, "by tho waters of Dabylnn, hung their burps, on the willows and sat down and wept when they remember ed Zion ;" I did not know Air. Vullan digham so long, perhaps, as many of you, but 1 know him very well, Da ting his service in Congress I wits his colleague. During the eventful session of 101 2 8 1 was his daily associate and intimato friend. During the days of his arrest and trial and imprison ment I saw him ul every hour that it was possible, and dnt v.'l'.iit I (-C to mili'itu pains which nn llllil- mous tvriinny inllicled. In nil tlinse times of anxiety, und caro, anil sufl'er ing, I never heard from bis lip ono word inconsistent with the loftiest patriotism, the most unfaltering hope, and tho most iinblenehing couriigo. You know ha Was uble, ami eloquent, and sell reliant and studious; Ihut ho lm.1 "rcat Blrerig'li of will und force ot character, and magnetism which attracted and attached men closely to him. Ho wus u 1 -so cool, and deliberate, and patient. Ucyond most men whom 1 linvo Known, no was sensmvo u nt tnclf upon the purity of motives of his character. I have seen him wounded to the nuick his heart luecitiled until it seemed sore to tho touch, and bleed- In IT his life awav by tho vindictive, savago abtiso so unsparingly heaped npon him during the war. Never wcro amicus more unjuev uiiu nu.. mous. No man loved his country moro intensely, and sought for tho wisest policy moro conscientiously, or would havo sacrificed moro roudily or morn abundantly houllh. and slronirth, and fortuno, and oven projudieo and prcoonceived opinions, to socure its welfare llo would huva been a war mun if ho could havo believed the war would resioro tho Union. Ho would have boen a devoted supporter of the Jtepubliean party if ho could have bo lievod its policy would have maintain od tho irunratileea of liberty BfTnrded by our Constitution. As ho eould not believe this, he would not swerve from tho conviction of the "faith that was in him," oven though his heart should bloed and break at the blind miscon struction of hi character, and the willul perversion of his word and aspersiou of bia fnc-ti'M' . I Mwik mmmm PRINCIPLES CLEA11FIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, God he lived long enough to soo that time the Avenger, in whom ho bad such unwavoring faith had", com menced hi work : and that many who had maligned him most were be ginning to soo their error and to do him justice. 1 thank Cod that at tho last the sun penetrated the darkness of tho night, and that lus eye saw, even though only for a moment tho mists of the morning dissolving before its radiant beams. And it it bo eiven to men who have gone heneo to caro for, or to Know, tl;o estimation in which they are held on earth, 1 know his spirit win oo giuduencd by the tact that all bis countryman, without dissent, will believe that lie w pure ns ho was abln, us Honest a he wus bravo, and ns faithful as he was persistent. RKAI1INU RADICAL BPKKCIItg ON OLD OCKAN. Thrco weeks ago to day I wus on tho ocean. It was ft dark, dump, dis agreeable voyage. The sun and moon had not appeared for many days Clouds, and mist, und fog hung around tho ship, and the fog boll tolled its fearful clant; incessantly.. I had re covered from sea sickness, and natu rally turned for some light and pleas ant rending. A friend hud sent mo to Liverpool a . package ot American nowspapors. 1 turned them ovor, and my eves rested on tho proccedintrs of too Kepuiilicun Convention and tho speech of Senator Shermnn. I com menced it. 1 ho interest deepened os I read on. Tho fwr in tho sky und the dampness on the deck were for gotten. What a pictnro ho drew of til this Kepublienn Administration . What a piclnro ho drew of national prosperity and felicity ! All to ho at tributed to this Administration ! The country and (Jovernment so grest by reason of tins administration that they commanded the admiration and re spect of every nation in tho world 1 Our power and sense ofjustico such that no lately outstanding quest ion had not been settled to our iulinito honor, and our iufinilu ndvanluiru I Our nat ural sell appreciation stiinuliited hy tho evident appreciation of othors ! At homo there was peace "within our borders and prosperity within our gales! A benign contentment per vaded till our people, atliichiui! them to ouch other in Iraluitial love, and binding all in filial reverence and obe dience It) n paternal and bonoflecnt Administration 1 Liberty c;.jryod in order! Just law implicity obeyed I Penco, liberty and prosperity! A trinity of blessings ! A brotherhood unbroken ! The dutios and obligations of a Government so liirlit as to be known only by their blessings I Bad prnwion already subjugated, soon to jc eradicated ! I 'funds already litrht, soon to bo mado lighter!! Taxe al ready smull, soon to bo mado smaller: Public debt, already almost nothing, soon to be'mude less 1 ! Tho Adminis tration ulreudy pure, boon to be mado holy ! I And Grunt, lately the mailed soldier, lately the incarnation of force, already becotno "ono among ten thou sand, and soon lo become "ultogclhor loVely ! 1" General Grant followed Shormnn. He was onthitsed by this glowing pic ture. Even his imagination could only surlily a color or add u tint which the Senator had omitted. In a style of his own ho soured in tho empyrean and caught tho rosiest hue which gilds tho "how of beauty and of prom ise." llo descended to tho lowest depth of ocean and brought tip the tiniest and purest drop which lingered there, that he might catch il bright est sparkle, us tho sun kissed it on Ihe crest of tho billow. And with these ho warmed the brilliant picture I bowed my bend in joy. I thanked God tlmt the day of Millemal huppi noss hud come, ily mirnrise wits equal to my plenstira. I knew our worthy President hud tasted of saving grace in tho puro nir of Washington, and that, having added works to faith, ho had escaped the condemnation that ho who careth not for his household is woiso than an infidel; and that hav ing done so well at homo he hud turn ed his effort to tho island of tho sea. Hut 1 did not know that all our poo pie wore so happy ; that ull our conn, try was so smiling j "that tho moun tains skipped liko rnniH, and the little hills like lambs." My soul was filled with impatience to bo ut homo. Tho ship seemed to movo moro slowly. The clouds seemed to become drearier, tho mist still heavier. I felt, as the old hymn has il "Op Jordan, stormy bnnks I stand, and oa'ft a ; wistful era To Canaan's fair and happy land, whore my pos sessions lie." But also! in nn evil hour I read further. I read Morton' speech, in which he snys that every bad passion is let looso at the .South, and stimula ted nnd fostered by tho Democrat ol tho North, und that murder, nssussinu lion, rapino und discord ('tighten honcsl men and honest capilai from tho hind, and honcBt negroes from the polls. I reud Perry's speech, in which ho says that If inis present oud, which is no bigger than a man's thumb, is not suf ficient to produco order, tho next shall ho larger and heavier than a man' thiifli. I read tlmt the Ku Klux Com- milteo, having satin Washington, felt it necessary to face these evils in their ! home, iiU't in sit In JOileign, nnti unnr lesion, nnd New Orleans. I reud thu Kn Klux bill, with its manifold con trivance for destroying disorder hy destroying liberty, and for avenging protended crimes to individuals upon tho whole country, by suspending the writ oduihrat corpus, and by destroy ing tho snbstnnce, nnd even tho form of constitutional government. I rend tho election bill, which make of free choice a farce, and subjects the returns of the election lo the manipulation of the croat ii re or to tho Executive. 1 wus nmaxed. I turned again to the speeches of Sherman and Garfield. J saw that thoy, too, had painted these horrors, but in the back ground and out of sight. 1 saw that there was nolhiiitr new under the sun. 1 saw thoir pioliiro was ono of thoso shifting sconas i when you icon ut it irotn one point it shows you tho fair face and beautiful form of an nngtil j from another, the threatening face, the heavy (inrna and bluxing fire of tbo i WOT MEN. dovil. Whenover ' they dosiroj to charm thesimplo by tho beneficence of thoir party thcyBhow thepicturo of smiling prosperity which doliyhtoth the eve. Whenever they wish to Rtimuialoevory bad passion and arouse hatred and suspicions, and fan oguin into living fire the dying embers of the bitternoss of the war, In order thut they may snatch from tho timidity of oiiie, or the simplicity or love of ven gonnoe of othors, a continttnnco of power, they show the picture of dis coid and crime and desolation. ItlWONSIItll.ITY or Tllft RADICAL PARTY. n these two speeches there is but onj' solid, substantial, thorough truth, ami thut is that tho Ifepublicun party liy-Jiad absolute pna-ar in tha Fode.ru. I ana ntaio uoverntnents lor ten yours, und that it i responsible for tho pres ent condition ot tho country. More than Bix years havo been of uninter rupted peace. In every direction und in every respect its policies linvo been carried out without lot or obstruction. And, gentlemen, in tho fuco of this ud milled fact, I say that whutover of peace exists in the land, is duo to the puticneo and forbearance of a great pcoplo, North aud South, in splto of a policy which, in Its general scopo nnd it purllculur measures, has boen vio lative of every constitutional provision and calculated to excite thoir hatred and call out their bitterness, nnd to sting lulo disorder, and even rebellion their honest indignation. Thut what ever inutoriul prosperity exists in the hind is duo to thu bciieficcneo of lift lure and llio industry of man, in spile of a p;:licy which has closed up every natural channel of trade, which bus violated cvory sound principle of fi nance, and has robbed toiling labor of its adequato and just rcwurd. . 1 TIIKKK PEACK? Gentlemen Republican ! is there peace in this land? If 'there is, why this pcrpotual crusade aguinsl the people of tho South 1 Why this in famous legislation, w hich, in order to frighten them, saurifiue the denrest rights and liberties wo havo? Why this ingenuity in irritating and oxcil iug their passions und then flaunting in their faces thu red right hand of threatened chastisement ? If there is not ponce, then you confess that your policy has failed. Then yon confess that your reconstruction acts and the State Government set under thorn, ex ecuted by Carpet bagger, Onforced hy military power, and commanded by a multitudinous swarm of postmasters, collectors, marshals and judges, ha failed. 1 put it to you ns honest men, i it not timo to change this policy, and to hand over the task to oilier more competent men ? 18 THEItK PROSPERITY f Is there prosperity f You havo a titritf which yields in. n o than two hun dred millions gold a year. You have an internal revenue system which yields nearly one hundred and filly millions a your, lour Administra tion kits a larger income than any troveromoiit in tho world. Sincoyour advent into power you have collected moro than a thousand million ol dol lars. You tuko to yourselves gneat credit that you have paid iwo hundred and thirty millions of the public debt, and yet "you admit that in doing so you liuvo unnecessarily, wantoMy, without tho seniUlunco ol justico, nnd in llio faco of tho decisions of the Su premo Court, wasted twcnty-livo mil-1 lion of dollars.

FINANCIAL POLICY OP TIIK BKI UBLICAN PARTY. Gentlemen, it is true, it must bo so. This i tho natural result of llio finun chd policy of the Republican party. During tlie war a niillion of mon wore taken from the ranks of producers nntl placed among tho consumers: an ex panding currency, stimulated lo an unusual, nnd porhap unnatural, ac tivity in every branoh of industry. Tho Government furnished an absorb ing murkct for almost overy product. The apparent profit created fancied wnnts, which could be gratified at ul most nny cost. Business was intoxi cated with the excitement or "fluli timo." When the war censed those onnstnnor wore remitted to their pos. ilion of producer. They needed work. The government market wis Instantly closod, and tho only substitute wo REPUBLICAN. 1871 tho demnnd of iheso discharged sol diors and of tho impoverished South. Tlie debt, funded nnd floalinL'. nil had boon created under an increasing ntir- roncy, ana at mo highest price. Tax ation, tho amount of which wn neces sarily onnrmous, must bo paid, every dollurof it, by tho earnings of labor. Now, what was the dictuto of reason I will not say of financiul learning but of plain, common souse? Obvi ously it was to pursue such a policy as would foster trade and offer fuir re turns for cntorpriso and industry, and secure to activity nn ample, generous rewura, lo encourage bold, brave men to open tip new channel for constant and hopeful labor. This policy would furnish employment lo thoso millions or men.- their necessities would fur nish a market, and their wages would pay the prices. Industry thus fostered would yield its uro return. Tho prico of labor, and of Iho products of moor inns maintained, would hoar their burden of taxation cheerfully, nt least without suffering. Public creditor would be paid in full. The tttx pnyor would not bo harnessed, and when tho debt wus puid or equitably adjusted, tlie transition from war to peace could have been mado without tho shock or punio which havo been foil. It only needed a steady baud to keep tho currenry nt it proper height. It only needed to keep tho warm, rich blood so much as li e system hud ul reudy shown that il could utilize coursing through Ihe arterie and re turning through the veins, riot blind ly or elso wickedly, with their eyes open they adopted a different policy. Thoy discouinged enterprise, Ihey pulsied activity, and closed the aven ues of industry. They kept idle Iheso millions of men. I'bcy closed the markets, they caused tiilling prices, and whilo they decreased the nominal amount of tho debt Ihey increased tho acttinl burdens of taxation. They con tracted the currency, and thus injured every mini in the community except tho private creditor und tlie public bondholder. And, not content with this, they exempted thu bondholder from taxation, and insisted upon (lay ing him not only his debt, but ulso n bonus of ten or twelve or fifteen per cont. for receiving it. And this policy ha been pursued until this day. In the mean time, taxation bus been kepi up to moro than four hundred millions of dollar per annum. Tho currency has been decreased more than three hundred millions. And the bonded debt of tho country, though nominally reduced two hundred und thirty mil lion, has been ucluully inci'onscd in weight andloppreBsivciics. Tho earn ings of t.tir country nro supposed lo be sixteen hundred millions ol dollars. TAXATION. Our taxation is equal to twenty fivo per cent, of all the earnings, of all the intellect and all tho ingenuity and labor of every man, and womnn, and child in the country. I it not true that nothing could hnvo saved u from tho ruin of this policy except the un paralleled fertility of our soil, and tho wonderful energy and activity of our people? This whole policy, in ull feutiirc ; its contraction of currency; it establishment of banks; funding of tho debt ; purchasing of llio bonds ; paying them in gold; tuxutinn and tariffs, is in the interest of capilai and 10 tho injury ol lubor one and air of these measure are designed to, and do, in fuel, benefit llio capitalist at the expense of tho working masses. No country in tho world ha a sys tem so onerous a our internal revenue system. It is unequal, unjust, inquis itorial. It has held out temptation to dishonesty, and rewards to dishonor 11 has rendered revenue affidavits bus pocled ns "dicer- oaths." It bus niinlo perjury und bribery common, if not rospcctuule. il ha linen tno land with spies, informers and pimps, who have imposed upon honesty the burdens (rum hich-vice has corruptly bought exemption. It has realised the time "When knaros and foe's o'er nil prernil, And weigh out Just lo In a golden rea!c." RINliS AND MONEY IN CONUKKSH. Tim whole system of tho li.'pnhli enn party produce this result. 1 will not trace tho mean; tho result i ho fore us. The legislation of Congress on taxation, und tariffs, und hanks, und railroad, i controlled by tings, and influenced hy money ; on political questions; on Kit Klux hills; nn the Han llomingo treaties, by iho interfer ence of the President nnd the bribery of hi pationngo. Public offices tire bought by present or awarded lo needy relatives. Defalcation are ns frequent a tho weeks, and neither restitution isenl'orccd nor punishment nwarded. Corruption hide not its head in secret places, but flaunt itself in tho ptiblio gar.e. j So com mon is this dial every official act is believed tn ho in tho interest of n job, und there is not in tho govern menl a character so pure us not lo bo suspected of pnrlictpitling in its profits. Tho obligation of official duly sit lightly upon tho President; can wo wonder that his subordinate fail to pel form theirs? Gentlemen, I say this sadly ; but it i Biimelimes heller that the ear should ho shocked with tho expression ol a sentiment wincn lie silent in every heart. RF.l'inl.ICAN DISItr.OAIl!) OF TIIK CONSTI TUTION. Hut, if we turn front tho considera tion of these question to tho other phases of our condition, wliut ground i there for Mr. Sherinnn' eulogy on his parly? Our government was I say was constitutional government. It was framed by tho delegate from Stale. Il was ratified by llio con vention of Stale.

Tho muinlo nunee of the ritrhts of tho Slate nntl llio doctrine of a strict construction of tho Constitution. These are the es sential elements of tho system. Tho right of Iho Stales ns Ihey tire defined in tho Constitution nnd no where else; and riot otherwise. Tho Constitution as it is, fairly read, according lo the open nnd common meaning of its terms not contracted by ingenuity on the one hand nor cnlurged by gresp ing ayarico of power on tho other. This is tho means of our safety, as it Is tbo Shibboleth of our faith. Tho Constitution hits hecomo, in the months of Iicpuhlicans, a by word ur.d a re proucli. Since Senator Wade aunoueu ed thill anybody who parted about the Constitution was u traitor, tho party lias acted on that, basis. If a favorite mcusuto was thought to be uncousli lutionul, they amended the Constitu tion, or violated it, ns scorned most easy. Lcgisluttiros, elected hy fraud or force, were the sure nnd approved means. If theso were too tedious or too long, nn net of Congress or nn Executive proclamation was always at hand. BAYONET ELI.CI10.V LAW. I will not go back even for a few year. Tho lust Congress pnssed an election law. It provided that in all cities of a certain sizo tho President might appoint inspectors and regis ters of election, whose authority and acts ho will maintain hy Iho army nnd navy of the United State, (ion. Grant sought lo enforce it in New York, Pennsylvania und Now Jersey, and culled forth un indignant rebuke from tho Governors of those Stales. THE KU Kl.t'X LAW. The present Congress passed a Ku Klux bill. Do you remember its pro vision? Whenever llio President shall believe thut in any State a com hina'.ion of person shall seek to do pnvo any man of his rights, thu Pros ident may take jurisdiction of the sub ject, nnd, if in his opinion the State uullioi Hies shall be unable or unwil ling to redress the wrong, ho may suspend tho writ of habeas coipvs, do claro martial law, oust the uiithoritjes of all their powers and fundi. his, shut up iho courts, dismiss the juries, uu scut the judges, and lake redress nnd punishment into his own hands. Gentlemen, do ynu appreciate thin law ? A month ago a mob entered a jail in Illinois and hung one of the prisoners, iho .'resident might, un dor this Inw, suspend tho writ of habe as corpus in thut Stule, and establish there a military government. In the city of Now York u riot occurred and live woro lost. Tho President miht under this law suspend tho present government in that Stato, and govern it by tho army and his generals, ti rant's usurpation op POWEIt. Gen. Grant will never use these power wrongfully, say his sycophant. Gentlemen, this is tlie insanity of folly. Ho will apply it whenever passion is to bo gratified or elections are to bo carried, lie ha never refused to ex ercise power. When Georgia voted ngainsl him for President ho asked authority to suspend tho the Stale Government. When Congress delayed, or in the end refused it, ho sent Gen. Terry lo piny dictator there. When North Carolina did not obey his wishes, he sent a military force to uphold Gov. llolden. When ha want cd a delegation in tho next Itcpuhli can Convention for llio Slate of Lou isiana, bo directed that tho Conven tion should bo held in the United Slates Court room, and that no one should bo admitted except on tho au thority of the Marshal, and that a tile of soldiers should maintain thai liu Ihority. When ho desired lo secure Iho annexation of San Domingo, lie did not hesitato to take money from tho Treasury in defiance of law, and pay it in ndvanco of the submission of the treaty 4o the Senalo. lie did mil hesilnto lo stipulate that ho would keep il existence sect el until ho had, by tho use of his personal and politi cal influence, secured it ratification by the Senate. When Sumner stood in his way he did not hesitate to eject him from the Cnmniilleo on Foreign Pelations. And now, whilo the Senate is consid ering ihe treaty, lie secures from pri vate person the money and pay the second instalment of Iho pnn liiise. There is a p iny in San Ihitningo op posed to annexation. It begin to inikn headway. Thereupon General Grunt send tho army und navy of tho United Slitlcs to protect his vendor in power. I need not eharncteiizo Iheso acts. Mr. Sumner, in hi phicc in the Senate, said : "All this ha been dono by the kimrlv nrei'iii'iitivo tihme, without the niillinl'il V of Ull lilt of Congress. If such U transaction, ninny hcaihlcd in wrong, can escape judgment, it Is dif ficult to say what securities remain Wlint other sacred obligation of inter- national law may not ho violated? What other foreign nation may not ho at rut k? What other belligerent menace many not be heralded ? What other kingly prerogative may not be seized ?" Mr. Schura, iu his place in llio Sen alo, said : To further by force of nrnu a btul sebemo of tho Whilo House, in which neit her Congress nor llio people of the United Stale bad evinced the least interest, llio war power had been usurped, the Coii-timtioii invaded in one of it nmst essential und vital feature, the pence and dignity of tho country put in jeopardy," in the man ner in which ho hud described.

It wn lime now to dispel til tit confusion of ideal which could mil bo distinguished bt tweonthe onflinriiv of the United Stale nnd Iho person of tho President, and to arrest that usurpation of power which tvna aocrollv. and cnt-liko creeping upon thecounlry.
