WEDNESDAY MORNING, Jt'NK 10, 187J.
IN THE BRIGHTER DAY TO COME.
Inlhe brighter days to oomo,
We shall forget the gloom
That falls around the weary heart
Like shadows of the tomb.
The siiimbine then will brightly full
Upon life's golden ilore,
And cares that throng our pathwny now
Will coma to as no more.
It 1 the dream of brighter hours
That cheers our hcurU to-dayj - . ,
When roses blurhing through the thorns
Will gladden all our way,
And if no starry crown be set
On li's unfading three,
Hone wMr bwjm wroatn , "
, Is waiting there for ue,
Alaal how many pllgrimg hero
Are watching long in vain
For brighter days of happiness
To coma te thvm apain. , ,
Thry nevor soo how cold and dark
The shadows round them lie.
For hope's bright star sends its pun ray
Athwart the frowning iky.

1I0. CHARLES It. BICKALEW.
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

Gentlemen, my ideas of tho duties
of tho Governor of tho Commonweultu

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.
Tho spoocb was frequently inter
rupted by appluuno, and when the
snoaker concluded three cheora for
tho candidutos wore given.

Th. 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."

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

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

fond of their joke, but still fonder of

John laid low, but kept his eyo open.
the two mon walked straight to the
washstand and deliberately lifted M

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

anger on tho other, but those soon

NEW
Smart Men,
The New York Methodist says tho
courso under which Amoricn groans
is its smart mon. Tho typical Yankee
is a universal genius, who can build a

Court, where he dispenses justice, to
tho amnzemont of mankind. Ho irt,
above all clso, a handy man. His
usual rulo of lifo is to get tho place
ho wants first, and tho fitness for It
aftorward. Ho is the product of a new
country, whoso chief need in organiz

content with the best that can bo had.
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

he cau literally apply to himself tho
words of Dickons' Joo liagstock:
"Wido awke is J. B., and dev ilisb

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.
Sinco tho establishment of peace,
the "smart" man has como lo the front

One of the weak nesses of tho "smart"
man is lo bolittlo his origin, so ns to
gather from tho contrast of it with his
after life tho groator glory. Now,
there is a boanty in an honoroblo suu-
cess wrought oul under conditions of
poverty, such as that of cbstcr, who
eani'd his head On Ins lathor s shoulder
and wopt when told that ho could go
to collego ; or of Lincoln, who gather
ed the rudiments of knowledgo by the
light of the cabin fire ; but theso mon
never paradod thoir early struggle for
tho purpose of self laudation. Rut
the typical "smart" man is not satis
fied unless ho can make himself (we
must quote Dickons again) a very
"bully of humility." In recounting
his early history, he can nover got
down low enough. Al the vory least,
ho was a barelootcd boy ; but if he
was actually picked out of tho gtillor,
ho has nuvor ending thome of self
glorification, lie understands the lot
of tho hard handed, hard-worked poor
ot tho land, is bo not ono of theinr
And though Providenco has since
favored him, ho nover forgets tho holo
out of which ho was diggod. Not ho.
How unctuously he dilutes upon tho
thome 1 How well be plays tho dom-'

All of these illustrations point to

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

that State. Ho was oloctcd its Presi

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

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

Adams fur Vice President.
John Tyler, the tonth President,

which met in Washington, in tho Win

The thirteenth President, Millard

Thus it will bo seen wo have proved
that the idea that all our ex-Presidonts

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.

Taming Buffaloes. Much interost
is now felt in somo parts of tho Went

an important and pormanout incroaso
of tho moat supply of the country may

profit to those undertaking the expe

that it is worth moro in hido and flesh,

thoir flesh is so tough as to be unfit

much in tho way when tho calves aro
