What of 1880?
The issues upon which the presi
dential battles of 1880 will lie fought
are already clearly outlined. It is
not possible that any change can oe
cur in the relative positions of the
two great parties, nor is it within the
range of human probability that any
question, paramount in importance to
the American people, can arise to over
shadow the one upon which a Demo
cratic Congress and a Republican Ex
ecutive have locked horns. Assuming
then that the struggle will be between
the friends of fair, free elections, and !
no military interference upon the one
hand, and the fast increasing party
of centrftlizationists and advocates of
an extension of the power of the Fed
eral government upon the other, it
will be'interesting to tnke a look m
the field, and note such salient fea
tures in the campaign as may be visi
ble at this early day. When the Re
publicans in Congress first fully com
mitted themselves to the monstrous
doctrine that the Federal government
had the right to supervise elections
held under State laws, even to station
ing the armed soldiery of the United
Htates at the polls, and before they
had succeeded in coercing Mr. Hayes
to a violation of his inaugural oath, I
there was a marked unanimity in the
sentiment of the Republican jmrty all
over the country. With one accord
every stalwart, in and out of Congress,
every whiekey-riug thief and public
plunderer, turned his gaze westward,
and as they strained their eyes toward
the golden slopes of the far-off Pacific
they lisped the name of Grant. For
awhile it looked as if the hero of Han
, Domingo would have a walk over to
the doors of the Republican National
Convention, and there amid the loud
Ho/a onus of CoiikJing, Rolieson, Bel
knap, and the Ht. Louis (.lobe-Demo
crat, receive for a third time a nomi
nation at its hands. But insidious
advisers found their way to the car of
the acting Executive. Men who had
heretofore lieen strangers in the White j
House once more throng.il its rooms,
and the triumph of the revolutionists
was complete. No longer need the
stalwart sigh for the iron hand of the
silent soldier. The skinny fingers of
the jaundiced Sherman did the work
quite as effectually, and alt at once
the word goes forth that the man who j
holds the purse strings of the Nation
is the favorite, not only of Hayes hut
of a strong party in Congress for the
presidential succession. Thus is erect
ed the first formidable obstacle to the
renomination of Grant. The financial
Secretary, with his mighty balances in
the New York banks, his syndicates
and the whole power of the adminis
tration, is not to be despised as lie
puts his lance at rest and enters the
lists for the great tournament of 1880.
Taking a fair look at every phase of
this contest it is difficult to conjecture
where victory will perch; but one
tiling seems absolutely certain and
that is, that there are hut two real
candidates for tho Republican presi
dential nomination n year hence.
Their names are .John Sherman and
U. S. Grant. The good citizen will
say with the dying Mercutio, "A
plague *Oll both your houses." It is
with a feeling of relief that we turn
from the contemplation of Republicans
intrigues and ambitions to see what
tho party of Constitutional freedom
will offer an outraged people as they
prepare to battle for everything tbey
hold dear. Here the view is not so
circumscribed. The Democratic par
ty is a great national organization. ,
It represents the diverse interests of
a mighty people scattered over a
vast territory. It knows no section
and legislates for no particular class.
Hence, it is impossible to prostitute
its high aims and patriotic purposes
to the mean ambitions of a few men.
From the very nature of things, in
looking over the list of Democratie
statesmen on whom the mantle of a
presidential nomination may fall —
Samuel J. Tildcii comes first. Not
because his claims are greater or his
chances better than any other candi
date, hut because he is the legal
ly elected President of the United
States, and was defrauded of his high
[ office bv the most monstrous political
: crime recorded in history, Envv,
malice and calumny have marked
him for their own, but the people be- I
Hove in him, and if he is made the
candidate of the party, that sense of
, fair play, which is the ruling charac-
I teristic of the American people, will
' assert itself at the polls, and he w ill
be triumphantly vindicated and his
traducers rebuked. Perhaps the man
whose name is oftenest on men's
tongues in this connexion is Allan G.
Thurman. The honest, incorruptible
Senator from Ohio, with his great
abilities and sound ideas of public
polity, would make n candidate who
would be absolutely invincible. 11.
(KMsesses in rare degree that personal
magnetism so desirable in a candidate
and be would create n degree of en
thusiasm unknown in our later politi- ,
eal struggles. Almost the same can
lie said of his distinguished neighbor,
Thos. A. Hendricks. There are many
points of resemblance between the two
men, and both enjoy the entire confi- .
donee of their party. Then there i#
Thos. F. Bayard of Delaware. I\r- •
haps his equal in every way was never
before nnmc.l in connexion with n
presidential nomination. He is to
day the grandest figure in public life.
His whole career is a stern rebuke to
the corruption and dishonesty that
have crept into the lives and besmear
ed acts of many of the people's ser- ,
rants. While political debauchery ,
ran riot in the halls of legislation, |
and the highest in the land bowed in ;
submission to the prevailing spirit of!
the time, the people of all parties
knew that there was one among the
Nation's law makers who would at all
times, and under all circumstances, lie
true to them and to himself. If the j
Democratic convention should, in its
wisdom, present Thos. fc\ Bayard as
a gift to the party, the campaign of i
IHXO would be the most memorable j
this country has ever witnessed. The <
result would he determined the day
the nomination was made. There are
many others who might lie discussed
as probable candidates, fiut we have
chosen to sjieak of the four men, one
of whom in all probability will lead
the Democratic hosts to victory in the
year of our Ird one thousand eight
hundred and eighty.
The investigation into the crooked
ness by which Kellogg wormed him
self into the United Htates .Senate is
progressing in Washington. It is de
veloping the usual amount of Louisi
ana filth, and perhaps the largest crop
of liars yet exhibited. Witnesses who
have made affidavits in New Orleans
to certain facts, when they arrive in
, Washington and go before the commit
tee, swear that they lied. They of
, course have been seen ami set up by
Kellogg nnd his strikers and "get
; their sugar " for the peijury. Not
: withstanding the unreliable character
of witnesses from Louisiana, the com
mittee expect to be able sufficiently to
explore the case to enable them to re
port the true facts nad arrive at n
proper conclusion. It is ascertained
that Kellogg has already bought up
twenty or thirty of the witnesses ex
pected to testify for Hpofford by ap
pointments in tho Custom House at
New Orleans.
Tito State Colloyo.
Tills rnstly institution has been eritized
pretty severely for the pu*t few years, and
recently the Legislature appointed a com
mittee to look into tlie workings of the es
tablishment, ami learn what grounds there
are for the growling heretofore indulged
in by newspaper individual*. The editor
of tfni Altooiia 'Tribune, in a recent issue
of that journal, indulges in remarks of this
kind:
"An opinion has prevailed for some
time til a l the .Stule Agricultural College
was to a certain extent a failure ; that the
results were not up to the just expectations
of its friends, and not on a scale commensur
ate witii tlie great cost its maintenance en
tails on the people of the State. Tie* Leg
islative Committee appointed to investi
gate the matter have discovered that there
were a good many reasons to believe that
this institution, as well as tlie experiment
al farms, has not been us productive of
good results as wo had a right to expect.
The Statu College has cost fur too much
when tlie results attained aro taken into
consideration. One of the graduates testi
fied that when he first went there there
wus u large attendance of pupils, hut some
years later the professors w<-re almost as
numerous as the student*. Wo are not of
the opinion, says the Lancaster AVio Era,
j that such institution* can he made
[ sustaining, nor wan that the idea upper
most in tlie minds of our representative*
when they passed the hill providing for
; their organization. The advancement of
agricultural knowledge throughout the
State was a primary consideration, and
i the Stale could well afford to pay well for
a wido dissemination of such information ;
but lite people Were entitled to look tor a
cb-ar and economical administation of the
affair* of these institutions, and that is ap
parently what they I ave not received.
The unaccountable mismanagement <>f the
public lands yen the (.'> : lege J> r<.rsi that
the men in charge i rere at leant mult Ijrennt y
negligent <>{ the (rue interfile of the ft. liege
. re,- II huh they erercned control, and that
the public in terentn irmild be nubnerred by
their removal, in fact a thorough over
hauling of the system on which tlie State
College has been conducted sunn t" be
imjicratively demanded, and a return to
more economical and hutincai-liko meth
ods."
We republish the foregoing article
trout the Clearfield It'publirnn in or
der that our readers may see what ig
norance and stiipidity exist* among
the average newspapers of the State.
That portion in italics, front the New
Era of Lancaster, i- a fair specimen.
The editor of the New Em should
have known that the College never
hail any public lands to manage well
or ill, und therefore its trustee* and
officers could not lie guilty of mis
managing them. The federal govern
ment, by act approved July 2, l*t>2,
donated to each State an amount of
public lands equal to 30,000 acres for
each Senator and Representative
which such State was entitled to under
the census of 1*<0. L'uder this act
Pennsylvania was entitled to receive
7*O,IMMI a res of land, for the purpose
of endowing agricultural colleges,
liy an act of the legislature, approved
April 1, IfWJJ, Pennsylvania a-ceptcd
this grant and pledged the faith of
the State to carry out the condition*
imposed hv Congress. This act can
lie found in the Pamphlet Laws of
1 HtiJ, page 213. The seeund section
of this act authorize* and directs the
Surveyor tienrr<il of the Stale to do
and perform everything necessary to
entitle the .State to the land scrip, and
when the land scrip was received by
him to dispose of the same, "under
such regulation* as the Hoard of
Commissioners, hereafter minted by
this act, shall prescribe." By the
tltird section the Governor, Auditor
General and Surveyor General of the
State were eonstituted the Board of
Commissioners, with power to make
all needful regulations for the sale of
the land scrip by the Surveyor Gener
al. The proceed* were directed to lie
invested in United State* or State stock,
or bond*. By the fourth section of the
same act the interest of the fund thus
iuvested was appropriated to the Ag
rieultural College of Pennsylvania.
This interest is all the money the Col
lege lias ever received on nccount of
the land grant, and all that the insti
tution could by nny possibility have
mismanaged. By the fifth section of
the same act, the College wa* required
to make an annual report to the legis
lature of the receipts and expenditures
of the institution, This has lieen reg
ularly and faithfully done, and if
there has been any, even the least,
misappropriation of the College funds,
it can lie pointed out it) their annual
reports. No t rustee, or other officer of
the College had any voice in the man
agement or sale of the land scrip. If
this land scrip was mismanaged so
that it did not produce as much
money as it should have done, the
Board of Commissioners np|minled by
statute, consisting of the (sovernor,
Auditor General and Surveyor Gener
al of the State, is alone responsible.
Next week we will publish the report
of the legislative committee referred
to in the above article with the proper
and necessary comments.
Weaktffiing—Mr. Hayes in his hope
of a " democratic break-down."
* Mr, Hayoß and ll in Votoen.
Written f..r tin- Ckmtks ti h.hMut,
Wlioru am wo drifting ? Is history re
peating iUolf ? Is the old leaven of Fed
oral consolidation arid of strong govern
ment roaring its head fur the destruction
of the Rights of tlio .State* ? A rocurreuoo
to former epochs will hulp us L> elucidate
those questions. The history of the Fed
eral government, from it* origin to the
present time, wo find has boon marked by
ono continual struggle between Liberty
and Power ; between the Right* of thu
States and the liberties of the people on
the one hand, and Federal Usurpation on
the other.
Up to the year ITTI the Federal govern
ment was continually acquiring strength
under the administration of President
Adams, and popular rights were failing
into contempt. At that period the pas
sage of the odious Alien and Sedition laws,
with other high-handed means, caused the
people to arise in the majesty of their strength
to resistance, and under the guidance of
Jefferson a signal victory was achieved
over the advocates of consolidation and
elective monarchy. "The Constitution
was rescued at its last gasp," and the
rights and libertii-s of the fieople restored.
Then was promulgated the political truth
which constitutes tlie true conservative
principles of this Union of Klal<-*. In
pursuing our argument it oja-ris a *tiil
broader field over which w will be com
pelled to take a very rapid flight. In that
glorious instrument, the Declaration of In
de|M>ridence, the United Colonies published
and declared that "the*e United Cblsnin
aro and of right ought to bo fret and
independent Statei, Ac. The next step
was the formation of a government under
the "Articles of Confederation." The first
two articles of the instrument reait thus :
"Article Ist, The style of this confederal v
shail lie the United States of America."
"Article 2d, Ka< h Stale retains its Sov
reignty, Freedom and Indepcndenca and
every jurisdiction and right, A< Up to
that je-riod it cannot be pretended that the
Statiss had parted with their sovreignty,
fresdom or independence. Under the form
of government just described the Revolu
tion was successfully conducted and brought
to a happy cioae by the acknowledgement
"f our inJeiienderiec by tin- government of
Great iiritiain. The government was not
long in operation before it was discovered
that the want of a j-ow.-r in the Confedera
cy over foreign commerce was the occasion
of much embarrassment In it* operation*
To remedy these inc.nveriien--• Congress,
on tlie 21 st of I>rotn!icr, IT*"'., passed the
following resolution:
Resolvent , That in lh* opinion of ('■ n
gress, It Is axpadicnt that on the woad
Monday of May next, „ convention of
delegate* of the nereral Statei I*, held at
Philadelphia/or (be note arid esprenn pur
jrfwe of renting the articles of Confedera
tion and reporting to Congas and the
several legislature* sueh alteraW-ns therein
as shall, when agr*J t m C -r.gr<--- an I
confirmed by the Stolen , render the federal
constitution adequate to the exigencies of
government and the preservation of the
Union."
I ndcr this resolution delegates were
chosen by the several Statei. The second
Monday ol May, 17*7, the delegate* did
meet in convention, at I'hiladelphia, and
elected George Washington it* President
After a struggie lietween the ad
via-ates of consolidation and centralization
and the friends of Liberty and Rights of
the MateSj the constitution was framed,
providing in Article V for it* amendment
provided "that nn State , without it* con
sent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage
in the Senate; and in Article VII, that
"the ratification of the conventions of run*
ntaten shall be sufficient for the establish
ment of this constitution between the
State* so ratifying the sum*." "Don* in
convention by the unanimous consent of
the Stgtei present, the 7th day of Heptem
t*-r, 17K7." This Constitution was trans
mitted to the several legislatures to be
ratified or not, by the delegate! rhanen to a
enrentiem isi eiteh date, by the people
thereof. Here it i* manifeet that the Stales
formed the constitution, for it was only hv
their ratification that it was made to exist,
and that it was only to lie binding upon the
Slates that should ratify it, thus proving
that the Federal Union wa# the creature
of the States.
George Washington was unanimously
elected President of the United Mutes and
John Adams, Vice President, and after
serving his first term Washington wa* re
elected for a second term—the constitution
having fixed no limit to a re-election of the
person elected Prewident. President Wash
ington, seeing the danger of consolidation
and centralization, refused a re-nominati<-n
for a third term, believing it incompatible
with the intention* of the American people
and the principle* of Republican govern
ment, thus setting forth and esUbliihing a
precedent and example limiting the
dency in ono individual to sf-D t years,
which have been as religioi sly adhered to
and followed ever since a* if a prohibition
had been inserted in the Constitution.
Another Presidential election coming on,
John Adam* was elected President and
Thomas Jefferson, Vice President. In the
acts of the administration Mr. Jefferson
was opposed to the construction of tho
Constitution a* advocated by Mr. Adams,
hi* cabinet gnd political friends. As he
say* in one of his letters written at the
lime, "I am opposed to th* tnonarchlsing
of tU features [the constitution,] by the
forme of ite administration with a view to
conciliate a fresh transition to a President
and Senate for Ufa and from there to a
hereditary tenure of those offices, and thus
to worm out th elective principles," &<■.
rho administration of Adsms wont on and
was Justly termed the "reign of terror"
passed the odious Alien and He'lition laws
cut down the Liberty pole* of the pooplt—
hunted them with the Philadelphia and
Lancaster Light Horse— arrested and im
prisoned the honest yoeteanry of Derk*
and Northampton for advocating Liberty
and K|ual Light* and refu ing to wear the
Hlack Cockade—the badge of Loyaity t/>
the administration.
The fourth J'reaidential oonl< t coming
on, the Jfederalisla re-nomiiialed Mr.
Adam* for President, with Gem :ul Piw.k
ney for Vice President, and the Republi
cnni nominated Mr. Jefferson arid Colonel
Burr, Ibis wa* a conleat between the
rights of the people and centralization and
tile former gained a grand triumph in the
decisive election of Jefferson and Burr.
Bv the Conetitutiun a* it exi*ted at that
|ari"d cash elector voted for two men
without designating which wa to be Pres
idenl, and be who obtained the greatest
number wa* to !*• Preafdent and the other
Vice President. Mr. Jefferaon and Colonel
Burr had an equal numWr of vote*, and it
ingulariy occurred that the Mutes were
equally divided. The election according
to the Constitution was Pi be decided by
the House of Representatives. The (tfiople
had designated Mr. Jefferaon for President
and Burr for Vico President, hut the
friends of Mr. Adams, In the House of
Representative*, took advantage of the
situation and endeavored to el< t Col. Burr
Tins resulted in a prolonged ontet, and
after thirty-five ballots, two Federal mem
bers who bad voted blanks withdrew on the
thirty-sistli ballot and the result was the
election of Mr. Jefferson to the Presideru v
and Burr to the second place. On the
4th of March, 1901, they were inaugurated,
and one of the first acts of President Jef
ferson was the owning of the prison doors
and setting free the friends of liberty and
equal rights that had been hunted, arrested
and imprisoned by the marshals and mili
tary cohorts of President Adams.
The Constitution having been amended
on the 17th of October, IWjJ, respecting
the manner of electing a President and
Vii a President, another election was ap
proaching. Mr. Jiir-rem wsi nominated
and re-electsd, with Gorge Ciinton for
Vice President, and they were sworn into
• ■fflee on the 4th of March, under the
12th amendment. From that time until
1871 every President arid Vice President
Of the United States has le-cn elected by
and under the provisions of the same arti
cle (the 12th of the Constitution. l!\
another of those amendments it was em
phatically declared that "the powers not
delegated to the I n 1 led States by the Con
stitution, nor j rohibited l>v it to the St ate n,
are re nerved to Use States res |>et lively, or
to the jieople," It follows that the rights
thus renewed to the Slates must have lse<-n
rights inherent in the sovreignty of the
Stale*. The first clause of the second sec
tion of Article I declares that the "flou'e
of Representatives shaii lie Composed of
member* chosen every second year by the
Jivople of the srr rrai State*, and the elec
tors in each State shall have titc* qualifica
tions requisite for elector* of the most
numerous branch of the State Legislature,''
and the third section of the same article
declares that "The Senate of the United
State* shall be composed of two Senators
from each State, eJn-een by the Legislature
thereof for six years, and each Senator
shall baTe one vote."
We have thus given an account of the
origin and character of the Constitution as
briefly as was consistent with the object in
view, viz : to prove the imi<rUnt fact
that the Status retain their reserve rights,
and have elected their Senator* and mem
bers of the House of Representative* of
the Federal Congress without the attempt
of interference and intimidation by the
presence of federal marshals, supervisors
and soldiers at the election* having been
mad* from the time of Jefferson to the ad
ministration of Grant, a period of 6b
years. And now the momentous issue
arises as to whether the federal government
a* attempted to be administered, is a gov
ernment of limited powers, or a military
daspotism whether we are to be freemeo,
or slave# * These questions will be the
subject of future comment.
