The following is tho addross deliv ered bcibro tho Rending convention by tho Domocratio candidate for Gov ernor on his acceptance of tha nomi nation. Mr. Buckalcw raid : Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention : I uppenr this morning in your presence in pursuance oi mo re quest oi toe comnniioe which wanca upon mo, to tondor to you, and through yon, too, l hopo, a majority oi ine Jicople ot mis stato, my eincero, ncnri elt, earnest thanks for tho groat hon or which Lai been done mo in nomi nating me as tho Democratic candi date lor Governor of this Common wealth. (Cheers.) This nomination to tondorod was not solicited by me. It camo, if I understand tho facta cor rectly, as the loiritimato, henllli out growth of publio opinion in this Slato ; not so much bocuuse ot any irenerai conviction of prominent ability in the individual who has boon selected, not because of any shining or distinguish ed character which has boon establish ed by him, but because throughout this Commonwealth, bavin hud an opportunity for nearly a quarter of a century of observing my courso ond conduct in publio position, they have attained to the belief that, whatever mnv bo said of vour candidate, ho is neither to bo seduced nor intimidated in the performance of publio duty; and that judging by the past, it is likely !d tho future, when tho intorest of a clans or of a clique are upon tho one bond and the intorests of tho peo ple upon tho other, be will stuna rmly with that great mass oi uu- manity from which he sprang anu with which ho sympathizes in every fibro oi his boing. (Itenowed cheois.) Gontlcmon, ot this action takon by you 1 speak now impersonally. This action taken by you win do buiicuoiiou and ratified promptly by no low, by o more personal objects, but by pa triotic motives. With honest convio tions we go forward into the contest, assured that its result will be triumph. fChoers.1 And what do wo desirof Not moroly that certain mon repro sonling us shall hold publio olllce; not that mere gnitiuculion oi party anu passions shall como to us, but that this uovcrnmont oi ours eimn ue nun est and pure, fair and equal in its ao- ion with rccaru io an our poopio, and above all, at this juncturo, that those reforms whioh are necossary in tho Government of our State, os well as in tho Government of tho United States, shall bo secured lo the people by all tho agencies appropriate anu adequate to thoir attainment. 1 lie people of this mate have aelormmoci that a Constitutional Convention fair ly selected, and representing all tho Dcoplo of tho State, shall be convened the present year, ana mat, so jar as it is necessary to moot tho exieoneios of the times by fundamental changes, this shall bo secured, liut we know that somethinir moro than this is necossary that constitutional provi sions must bo general and vague in character, al least to a certain extent : and that for tho application and en forcement of sound principles ol gov. ornmont we must have rcliablo mon in publio olllce. An old political mot to and a favorite ono, which you have oflon heard, is this, "Principles, not mon." 1 behove the Latin equivalent for this expression was placod by Jlr. Madison upon his carriage, so that ho should be constantly reminded of tho truth which wnssupposou to bo con tained in it. Well now, gcUlomon, I think under tho experience wo have hud in recent limes wo should amend this motto: we should say now'Trln- ciplos, and mon to support them. look lo your uovorninent, in mo States, look lo your Government at Washington, and is it not manuosi that although good principles are written in your fundamental law, al though the poopio aro ovorywhero dosirtous that they Bball fco applied -ct thcro is failure bocnuso tho ugents lor thoir application are unfaithful or incompetent f Bo it now our mission in this yonr of initiul reform, 1872, bo it our mission lo go lorwara in mo selection of mon who will, apply American principles in Amoricuti Gov ornmor.l. (Great clioerinp.) Gentlemen, my ideas of tho duties of tho Governor of tho Commonweultu aro, I supposo, somowhat poculiar. My iiloa is that ho is a magistrate, as bo is called, that in hii high, his im portant olllce, I moan in tho actual diacbartre of its duties, ho is not to know thai A parly has elected him (Tremendous npplntiso.) lie is to bo the magistrate of the ontlro poopio of the Comnionweallh. Ho is not to lot looso a criminal from your peniten tiaries bocauflo political favorites, de mand bis release (more n)plauso), nor is he 111 'any manner to prostltiito those powers which wero created for the common advantage to the pur poses or interests of any limited num ber or a few. Gontlomen, 1 believe thore Is a disposition at this time In our own Commonwealth to got a little PRINCIPLE8j CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, boyond and outsido of that circle of inlonse party passion which rngod ovor this country during tho war.Jund during tiio first years after the conolu sion of tho war. Our poopio aro be ginning to understand that thoro aro many mnllors, and those of the great est significance, upon which gcntlo men of intelligence and liberal opinion can heartily tinito to subserve and firomotu those purposes for which po iticul society was organized. Hero aro questions rcluting to tho harmOny of tho di (Tore nt parts of tha Union, ordinarily expressed by gonoral am nesty, and oblivion of tho pust. Hero aro questions of finance and taxation, n winch thoro are common interests and upon which parties am not sharp. ly divided, and many others now in View. 1 shal Dot occupy you long upon tlioso points. (Cries of "Go On I1' and applause.) Now 'in view of the general disposition to have reform in troduced into your State and into our Nationul Govornmout, we are entitled, wbon we sot tin candidates for whom and around whom publio confidence can gather, wo are entitled to appeal lo men of all parties 'and sbados of opinion to go with us, and to estab lish a now departure which shall be ono of purity, energy, faithfulness, in tegrity, ana justice in government. (Great chooring.) It is a source ot deep salisiucuon to mo to know that at the end ot tins amicable controversy upon the ques lion ot the selection oi a canuiualo lor Governor, the utmost good feeling provuils, and that the gentlemen who were named or proposed tor nomina tion for this ollico, and thoir friends, are now cordially united, and acquies cent in the result which the conven tion has reached. Each of those can-' didules for nomination are known to tho poopio of this Slate as mon of high character and merit. I spoak of them kindly, not from motives of policy, but sincerely and truly, I respect thorn. I respect thoir names for considera tion in this convention, and now what I desiro is that each one of them and their friends, tho result having been reached, will stand by mo in this con test, upholding my weak, feeble hands, and, liko a band of brothers joined wo shall proccod forward to victory. (Wild upplauso.) Allow me ono ad ditional remark in this connection. There has boon too much disposition in our great Commonwealth among the publio to push porsonnl rivalry a little too fur a litllo beyond tho limit of what was bocoming and expedient. The result has been that our State has boon compnrativoly dwarfed in this greut Union of ours. Other States have been more potential in the federal (jovornment, and have had more Infltionco upon its action. New York, Virginia, and otber Statos, al though no moro pntriotic, no more doserving, bavo bad A little more eminenco and distinction in the red oral Union than our noblo and mag nificent State. It has boon our own fault, and tho remedy is in our own hands. olJ gentlemen In our fetalo have boon fuvorcd with public appro val who are placed in publio station, lot them cultivoto magnanimity and cood will with each other, and whon ability rises in our Slate let us cherish it, and encourugo it. tynon a man appears to rise a little ahovo the ordi nary levol, and bids fuir to attain pub ic distinction, instead oi puiiing i down let us support him, and bid him God speed, lid us have a Muto hopo and a Slato pride, and cultivato our own mon whilo others assist directly and indirectly to givo to our State that position which belongs to hor in this American union, l hail mo pro ceedings and tho results of this con vention, and tho spirit which now animates all tho gontlomen concerned in it, as an oinon of good for tho fu- turo in this respoct, that we will cher ish and cultivato that spirit of har mony and good will among our rep resontntive men which will proinoto the intorosM, inftuonco and charactor ol tho Mate. Gontlomen, I know most of you aro anxious to conclude your duties hero and return lo your homes. It was not my intention on appearing boforo you to muko an elaborate or prolonged address. During the courso oi tno canvass opportunities will bo afforded mo ot meeting my follow citizens in different parts of tho tstato under cir cumstances more auspicious and con venient for tho discussion of public matter. 1 shall endoavor to portorm my duly in this canvass, and, in oon elusion, all I bavo to say to you is, that you also shall pcrlorm yours.

R..ien Why Ha Never Forgave th. D.mocretio r.ny. Tho following, concerning the old rascal, told by a Washington corres pondent, is protty good : Ono day, early in tho sossion, Co vodo told one of his frionds that thore was a good deal of whisky drank in that room. His friend soomed por foolly indifferent to the information moroly answering, "I t'pososo." ! "Well," said Covodo, ! don't mtioh object to tho boys drinking all they want, but 1 don t want them to walk off with it in wholosnlo. I'm not am bitious to koep a wholesale establish ment. A fair retail business is all 1 wire for. lhey mav como here, tf tucy ro our friends, and drink as much as thoy want, but Lxlon't want them to steal it. I don't want them lo take a bottle to day, a demijohn to morrow, and A keg tho next day. "Jiavo a now lock put on your washstund, then." "lhats a good idea," said Uncle John, "it's a wonder I hadn't thought oi it. ueioro. So a new lock was put on the wash- stand a largo rosewood caso with doors in front aud a marble top. This would bold a small kog of whisky, two or throo demijohns, or a couplo of dozen bottles. The now lock did not soem to work vory satisfactorily. A day or two after it was adjusted, the whole store, about a dozen strong, was takon. A few" days after the lock was changed again; no use more whisky cone mystoriously. Finally, a very intricate and compli cated lock was put on. Then the robbory was to stop sure. The very next night a demijohn disappeared. It was but natural that by this timo Undo John becamo a litllo (Ms couragod and unhappy. Still, ho could not give up tho luxury and sat isfaction ot havini' something nice about him all the timo. It was pleas ant to give a friend a drink onco in a while, and It was sociablo, and finally ho got mod and eworo ho would be doggonod if he wouldn't keep a liltle of the staff in his room, and he would be dnggonoe d if he would allow any body lo Btoal it, cither. So he sot a trap. A now stock had arrived thai day, and be put it in tho washstund, as usual. After tho homo adjourned, ho concealed himself in tho room, and waited. Ho did not havo to wail long. lie heard two pairs of feet tip looing op to the door. He laid low. Trolly soon a key was turnotl in the lock, and then two men entered. From his hiding placo Uncle John pooped out and rooognizod two wag gish Domocratio members, who were fond of their joke, but still fonder of Unolo John's whisky. Still Uncle John laid low, but kept his eyo open. the two mon walked straight to the washstand and deliberately lifted M the marble top. This was all, but it was enough lor Uncle John. Jlo kept quiet, however, until they had handed out two or three bottles. Then ho stopped out and said i "That II do, boys, I want tho rest." There was at first consternation on ono sido as may bo imagined, and anger on tho other, but those soon govo way lo laughter, and laughlor was succeeded by drinks. Jl was a good toko on "both sides, but Uncle John Covodo, to tho day of his death, never forgavo tho Democratic party for tint trick.

Up to a certain point, tho "smart" man has somo valuo, but as society becomes well organized und requires thorough work, bo grows to bo ono of its greatest dangers. Usually quick but shallow, and intont on the main clianco, he is as apt as not lo be lax in principlo, and unfitted by his laxity for grave publio trusts. Tho "smart" man in tho legislature is a fluent talk er, who, by ringing the changes on tho mornl commonplaces most in vogue, has caught publio uttonlion.nnd made a cheap reputation for himself. En tering Into public lifo for personal profit, he pursues it in tho spirit of un attornoy, and votes for tho Interest j- wlnch pays the best rolaining Iocs. If office is lost, he entors that congon ini ephore of labor, tho lobby, whoro he cau literally apply to himself tho words of Dickons' Joo liagstock: "Wido awke is J. B., and dev ilisb sly." During tho war, tha "smurt" man entered tho army, and aimed, of course, at the highest rank nothing less would content his ambition. Onco fairly epaulet ted, ho astonished the world by his many devicos; in vented powder-boats to blow up forts, and, finally, as Gen. Grant said of ono of them, got himself "botllod up" so lightly that ho could not move. We believo that this venturo was rather unfortunote for tho "smart" man. He was convinced himself thut stump- speaking was not tho best preparation for fighting buttles, and retired from the service more meekly than be en tered it.

' John Adams, our second President, was in Ittll, at tho advanced aire of eighty-flve years, elected & member of the convention that was held in Massa chusetts to roviso tho Constitution of that State. Ho was oloctcd its Presi dent, but doclincd tho honor. James Madison, our fourth Presi dent, aflor twclvo yours' dignified re tirement from tho Presidential chair, was oleeted a member of tho Constitu tional Convention in Virginia, which wss held at Richmond in 1820. It is said that "when ho rose, after long silenco, to utter a few words, the mem bers left their seats and crowdod around the voncrablo octogenarion dressed in black, with his tbiu,' gray hair still powdered as in former times to catch the low whispor of his voice. uur til in I'resiAont tho last ot the old Revolutionary line James Mon roo, after he left the Presidential chair in 1825, accepted tho humblo office of Justico of the Peaco, and sat as such in tho County Court. Liko bis vener able predecssor, Mr. Madison, ho also was oloctcd a mombor and served in the famous Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1827. John Quinoy Adams, oursixth Pres ident, ceased lo bo such on the fourth of March, 1829. Two years aflor he was elected to tho House of Represen tatives from tho Quincy District, Mas sachusetts, and continued to serve by successive elections until February, 1848 a period of seventeen years whon ho was stricken down by a fatal attack of paralysis while in bis scat in the House. Tho eighth Prosidont, Martin Tan Buren, was a Presidential candidate eight years after bis retirement from oflice, running with Charles Francis Adams fur Vice President. John Tyler, the tonth President, was a member of thocelobrutcd Peace Confcrcuco from tho different States, which met in Washington, in tho Win tor of 1801, to sco if somo compromise of the then sectional difficulties which ovoiMuully lod to war, could not be nado. The thirteenth President, Millard Fillnioro, was also a Presidential can didate in 185(1, four yeais after bo had left the Presidential chair. Thus it will bo seen wo have proved that the idea that all our ex-Presidonts havo gone into absolute retirement, and ceasod to take part in public affairs, is not truo. Andrew Johnson, if he contemplates a return to public, life has many precedents to sustuin him. Mischievous Nonsense. Something vory liko Jacobinism of tho rankest kind protruded itself At tho mooting of tho Massachusetts bo callod Labor Union, Tuesday night. They not only pitched into the "ty rant capital," but some of thorn thought it would bo a good thing to got rid of the Christian Church, as if it was an institution that had had its day, and was now only a stumbling block in the rosy path of modern progress. Joaso 11. Jones, of Abington, spoke of tho rotations of tho Christian Church to tho labor question. Ma terial pay for spiritual exertion was a lie. Tho Church being wealthy should materially help the laborer, who was poor the average of his occupation being beyond the bopo ol ovor owning the lionse ho lived in. Ho was used un by his ton hours' factory work, and had little energy left to lift himself out of bis position. Iho luboror was the "corlain man spoken ol in the parable "who fell among thieves," and the Church, wlrich should provo his good, somctimos proved recreant. Tho war betwoen capitalists would soon load to A gonoral war boiween labor and capital, and peuoe was only possible through an honest Church. The Church, instead of regeneration for the individual, should dovoto its enorgios to tho reform of communities. Its duty was to do businoss for the racod laborer without matertul pay.

Much interost is now felt in somo parts of tho Went on the subject of domesticating buffa loes, and tbo opinion is generally en tertained in stock-raising districts that an important and pormanout incroaso of tho moat supply of the country may bo affected by this means, with groat profit to those undertaking the expe riment. It has been found by Uiosq who bavo in ado tbo trial that tho buf falo or bison will futten undor condi tions fatal to ordinary domestic stock ; that it is worth moro in hido and flesh, than tho ox, and can bo trained to tbo performance ol any kind of labor for which oxen are adapted. It is nocos- sary, howovcr, that calves should be obtained for the purpose Tho old bu flu loos cannot be domesticated, anil thoir flesh is so tough as to be unfit tor meat ; but tho old ones are very much in tho way when tho calves aro to be captured. Thoy aro kept in the centre of the droves, and in case of danger, the bulls flank the herd. To capture thorn, therefore it is nocoasary to break through the ranks ot Iho flankers and lasso tho heifers, which is difficult and dangorous oporation, considering the fact that tho herd somotimcs Covers a very wide extent of territory. No way has yet boeu devised ot capturing the calves inai ould not be moro likoiy lo kill mom. than to take them ulivo.
