As MionT be Expected. The as

diversity of opinion exists in both

that neither tho message of the Presi

A BRIEF BUT STRONG) APPEAL 1 ..
To the People 0 Pennsylvania :
Tho recent decision of the Supreme
Court, enjoining the commissioners
appointed by the convention from
reeling th election in the city of Phil
nuelphia, makes it proper that th
.executive t iMiimiuee shoulu expross
to the people the extonl and effect of
that decision.
Tho convention was assembled by
direct authority of the people and ex
ercised only such rowers as thev be-
lieved to bo delogatod to them and to
do necessary to the pertormunco ol
incir work, without, at this timo,
entering upon the discussion of any
controverted questions, and having
neither the right nor the disposition
to surrender any position taken by
tho convention, the Commiltco yol
euriiusuy ruuuuimenu prompt acquies
ce neo 111 the decreo ol tho court, i
avoid all misapprehension, wo deem
it proper to state expliouly that th
decrco affects only tho question of
olUccrs by whom tho election in Phil-
adolplna will bo conducted. The com
missioners named by tho convention
in tho desire to secure in that city an
entirely just and fair election, have
been superseded. The election wi
thorofore be hold in Philadelphia, as
in an oinor parts 01 me oiaie, dv uic
ordinary election officers, on Tuesday,
tbo lo'lh day of Deeoniber insl. the
day fixed by tho convention.
The co mm it too respectfully and r-nr-
nvBlly call attention to the fact that
the active opposition developed to the
work of the convention is mainly from
llioso whose uusinoss it is to trude in
folilics and to profit by corruption.
t is evidently impracticable in a short
address to reply to all the misrepre
dentations which interested parlies
havo mado to affect adversely tho voto
upon the proposed constitution. Hut
we do distinctly ulfirm that the new
Constitution does not imposo or ro-
store nny tax upon reul estate or other
species of properly; nor require tho
ii-gisiuiuro 10 impose or restore an
lux whatever. It requires that a
laxos shall bo uniform upon the same
class ot subjects, and leaves the classi
ncation to the unlimited discretion of
tho legislature, simply prohibiting all
special exemptions upon proporty of

abundantly largo to accommodate the
noroased number of representatives
and will require no additional expen

arrangement, and additional seats for

peciul and corporato legislation are
only suuo as are necessary to prevout
the abuses which experience has shown
to nave been most Iruittul sources
of corruption, and upon which tho
lobby uas mainly subsisted.
the restrictions upon corporations
are reasonable and necessary for the
protection ol the rights ot private cit
izens, lbey correct the abuses, with
out limiting the efficiency or useful
ness, ot corporate bodies. Ao State
nstitulion ol charity is denied proper
aid from tbo treasury, and private
charities, not sectnrian, can, by ado
q tin to voto of tho legislature, receive
appropriations trout the Common
wealth.
Pensions and gratuities for military
services and for tho support of the
widows or orphans of soldiers aro ex
presuly authorized.
Appropriations for denominational
or sectarian institutions are prohibi
ted as contrary to tho spirit of our in.
stitutions.
Tho wholo instrument has been
framed with the most enrol ul regard
to the best interest of tho peoplo; and
to them we earnestly appeal for tho
just vindication of their riuhls. The
opportunity islavorable to strengthen
the securities of property and of lib
erty, and the contest is becoming
daily more activo and earnest between
those who would preserve our institu
tions iu their purity and those who,

The New York Sun of Deoembor
2d says: The new Coneress which
mot yesterday at Washington under

front at lbs outset questions of the
greatest magnitude, both as affects
our foreign relations and Internal nol
icy. It was chosen more than a year
ago unuor an entirely dillcrent condi

A stato of fictitious prosperity ma
torially promoted by partisan manage
ment of tho Treasury, a flush money

bounded credit, contributed largely to

and to tho two-thirds majority of Re
publicans In the presont Uouso of
Representatives relumed ut tho same

If tho Congressional elections had
to bo repealed now, no one doubts that
the political complexion of the popu
lar branch would be seriously if not
radically changed. ' Thereforo it can
not be strictly said to reflect or to
represent tho aotual eentimont of tho
country. How far It may be willing
to comform to and acoopt the alicrod
situation is not easy to prefigure.
Thero is a great opportunity ottered, if
there bo wisdom enough to improve it.
More than a third of tho members
of tho new Uouso wore in the lust dis
credited Congress, participated in all
the obnoxious legislation, and netfi

personally uisgracod ny thoir venal

me nrst subioct to claim attention
will be the Spanish Outrnsoe, and the
duty of Congress concerning them.
uur passive, uttiludo to tho revolution

in view 01 recent developments. Th
peace of the country is constantly en

As the Currency act was flagrantly
violated by many of the banks during

at tho mercy of plundering presidents,

decide whether tho recont bitter ex.
penenos is to be repeatod by wild ex-
pansion, wilh even worse consequences
in me near iuture, or to be improved
by a return to a sound basis, which
must oomo sooner or later.
The question of posilivo rolrench-
mont in the publio expenditures must
be considered practically. Postpone
ment is no longer possible. And to
do this, effectually, the firs, step is to
stop on tho spot the faluo and prodi
gal system of anticipating tho pay
montof the poblicdcbt, which involves
extravagance and corruption at every
turn. The prudent and homely policy
of "pay as you go," is the wisdom re
quired now. Whenever the fulso pro
tonoe ol raising enormous revenue to
redeem tho publio debt years before
maturity shall be explodod, the whole
system of venality, wasto, jobbery ,and
fraud, which depends upon excessive
appropriations, will tumble to pieeoi,
and integrity and economy become
again possible.
ho lur as tlio repeal of the salary-
steal legislation is concerned, thoro it
no bono of it. With a few exceptions
who nave honorably taken the old
pay, tho great bulk of tho members of
bolh Houses havo already received
about $5,000 each, without having
rondorcd an hour of service. That ill
gotten money is sponl and gono. The
ro elected members who voted for that
iniquity are doomed, and know it
They of courso will not aid any form
of repeal which looks to restitution.

will bo very easy to evade a movement
for repeal. Still, in spile of theso ob
stacles, If the Mouse euu be brought to
