Is a suflMent illustration of the reck I wa Aaain isl mismanagement of the K> publican party. TIIK Democratic party, nay tlie : Wellington I'ort, always haa been, ami always mint be, the party of "lioneat money." The Democratic party ha* never advocated the pay ment of public or private debt* at a lea* rate than a hundred cent* on the ! dollar. For the benefit of a cla**, the Radical party ha* compelled the pay- i i ment of $1.30 to gl.- r >o on every $l.OO i of debt, and ha* claimed to lie the 1 only "lioncat money party" while thus ; robbing the people for the eu rich ment 1 of a few. Now that the plot ha* been ' worked out, and the wrong i* beyond , remedy, it is high time for the author* | of the robbery to stop l>oa*ting of their , honesty. The Democracy of to-day , *tand* where the Democracy of the i Jackxon era xtood, in favor of no |>a- < per that i* not worth it* face in law- 1 fnl money; in favor of a sound cur rency of gold and silver, or its equiva- ' lent; in favor of treating all classes 1 of public creditors alike; in favor of the same dollar for the laborer as for , the millionaire. It accepts the wrong of the past because it is unremcdiable, i and proposes to do all that is "nomi nated in the bond." And it sets its 1 face against this needless agitation of ' diUd questions, whether of finance or other issuca growing out of the war. The great issue of the hour is, whether the majority or the minority shall rule this republic? That question is at the front, and must stay there till it is definitely and finally determined. The Radical leaders have set up minority ' rule by frnud, and propose to main tain it uuder cover of law. The Dem ocratic jmrty proposes to re-establish • the fundamental principle of the gov ernment —the right of the majority to rule. A Nioo Administration. While Mark* ami other thieves and scoundrels, under the protection of Mr. Hayes and hi* cabinet officers, are stealing the revenue* and robbing the government iu the South by thous ands, John Sherman, Key, Tyner ami others are junkctting in the North on political tours in government vessels, at government expense, at the rate of many thousands more jwr week. And yet Mr. Sherman ha* the cheek to *ay in his speeches that this is an economi cal administration of the government. These practical illustrations will not strike the people very forcibly in con firmation of John'* claim to economy, or even the decency of expenditure he indulged out of the public treasury at the very time of making the claim. How (litß-rcnt i* this from the good old Democratic times, when statesmen lind some resnect for their own honor, and administered public affairs to pro mote the honor of the country and the interest and prosperity of the people. Whoever heard, under Democratic i administration, of an Attorney Gener al of the United State* ordering a Grand Jury to be discharged, because they hail evidence before them of the most infamous and damning fraud* upon the Treasury, a* iu the case of Mark* in New Orleans, by Attorney General Devon* ? Who ever heard of a Cabinet minister under Democratic administration appropriating a gov ernment vessel, provided with all the luxuries of riotous living at the ex- i pense of the public Treasury, to travel around the country on politcal tours to fix things up to suit hi* own political aspirations, ami entertain hi* friend* cheaply, as in the case of Mr. Sherman in his political mission to New Eng land ? To the honor of the Ifemo cratic party, and it* honored represent atives, no such mean advantage was ever taken of their official position* to make the people contribute to their pleasures from the public treasury. Mr. Hayee and his Vetoes. Wrlii-n fr Hi- Ctirrmi t'liunit The fundamental principle of this and every other Republican government is, that the sovereign power resides and is inherent in the people and not in the government. All governments are in stituted for the protection of this right in the people. Itefore the formation of the Union the people of each Slate were sovereign and independent. They had exercised their sovereignty in the formation of State constitutions and governments. They not only retained all power not given to those govern menU by their constitutions, but they (KMseased the right of altering and changing their constitutions at will. In virtue of this sovereign fowpr the people of the old States consented to form a compact of Union for mutual safety and equality of rights, and agreed to vest in the government of the Union certain {towers the better to guarantee to the people the enjoyment of the re mainder. The powers of the general govern- j ment are therefore limited and all (tower not delegated remains with the States as far as their constitutions give it and with the people. In all other respecU, the States and the people are as completely sovereign as they were before the Union was formed. The State legislatures are therefore at liberty to pas* any laws in their discretion, ex cepting such laws as they have agreed to by the Federal compact not to make, for they are not restricted from so do ing. Who, then, can say they are not competent to pass laws to protect their qualified citixens on the day of elec tion from being intcrferred with in the exercise of the elective franchise by United States marshals and soldiers T The sth section of Article 1 of our Con* stitution declares that "elections shall be free and equal; and no power civil or mUtlary, thall at any time interfere to pre vent Ike free erereiee <f the right of ruf- • frage /" and Section 5, of Article VIII, declares, that "electors shall In all cases, except t res son, felony and breech or surety of the peace, be privil eged from arrest during their attend ence on elections, and going to and re turning therefrom and the 22d Hec tion of the same Article declares thst "the military shall in all COM* and at all times he in strict subordination to the civil power." The Legislature under the provisions of the Constitution passed an set en titled "A further supplement to the act regulating election* in thi* Common wealth," approved January 30, *. j. 1874, containing twenty *ix sections, embodying evety constitutional requis ite to secure to the qualified citizens of Pennsylvania, a free, just and equal election, and providing under the sev eral sections of the act for the punish ment of every species of fraud. Shall our constitution and election laws be nullified by Grant and Ilayea? Shall our citizens attending the election polls be insulted, intimidated and arrested with impunity ou election day in exer cising their elective franchises, by Fed eral marshals and soldiers ? There are no United States election laws. It is the several State# that put the whole machinery of elections within their respective territory in operation. Thi* is in the States and not in the Fx ecu live or any other branch of the Fed eral government, and no State govern ment should permit the United States F.xecutive, be ho usurper or not, to in vade the elective rights of her citizen*. In the days ofGovernor McKean, Simon Snyder, and Chief Justice Tilgman such infringing upon the rights of the State# would have been prevented, lis can be j seen by referring to the early decisions i of the Supremo Court of our State and ! her patriotic Kxecutives when ihent j tempt was made. Sco the opinion of, Chief Justice McKean in 3 Halloa 473, , (cited by Judge Roan in the case of | Hunter vs. Morten 3 Hal las 52,) in the ■ Commonwealth vs. Cobtut, in which the | rourt refused to permit the defendent, j t'obbit, who was an alien to remove his case into the Federal court*, notwith ; standing the |>o*itive provision of the | 12th section of the United States judi : rial act. In the case of t'hisoltn vs. the ; State of Georgia, in 1792, reported in j 2 I'.illas 41'.', Georgia disregarded all the proceeding* of the United States court, nnd by this action caused the adoption of the lltli amendment to the Federal constitution ' the States, ami wa* that tribunal thereafter restrained from interfering with the lights of the State*? In proof of thi* assertion that the 11th amendment of the constitution was caused by the interposition of Georgia, I refer to the case of Hollingsworth vs. Virginia, 3 Uallaa, 378, where it is stated in the o|>ening of the case that t'hisoltn and Georgia have produced the amend mcnt referred to. In the case of Gideon Olsmstcd there was a contest between the United States court* and the courts of Penn sylvania. It had heen pending for several years, and in 1803, George Ro.. Ksq., (one of the signer* ol the Ueclara tion of Independence) Judge of Admi rality of Pennsylvania, made a decree in favor of the State. Richard Peter*, one of the Judges of the United States, decreed in favor of the United States, and a peremptory mandate had been issued from the Supreme Court of the United State# commanding the aaid Richard I'eters to issue processes, Ae. Governor Snyder, on the 27th day of February. 1809, issued hi* order* to Gen. Michael Hriglit, commander of the first brigade of the Pennsylvania militia, re ferring to the Act of Assembly of April 2, 1803, from which I make a few ox tracts : "As the Governor of the Com monwealth is required by said Act of the General Assembly to protrct Mr njhu of tkt StaU in respect to premise* by further means and measures that he may deem necessary for tho purpose," Ac,, "it tiecomee my duty to act in obe dience to the requisition* and injunr tions of the*aid act of Assembly, and by virtuo of the powers vested in me bv the 'Constitution nnd laws of tho Common- ' wealth, I, .Simon Snyder, Governor of the said Commonwealth, reposing spe cial trust and confidence in you, Michael Bright, commander of the first brigade of the first division of the Pennsylvania militia, do authorize nnd require you to have immediately in readiness such portion of the militia under your command a* shall he sufficient for the purpose expressed in this order," Ac. j The decree of Judge Peters, of the United States courts, the Governor had referred to the Assembly, which, by re port and resolutions, declared the act of Judge Peter# "to be founded in usur pation and contravention of the just right# of this Commonwealth." All these measures in opposition to State rights were pursued under the admin istration of the elder Adams who in tended to perpetuate them by his ap pointment of his mid-night judge*, who would sustain his ideas of a strong and splendid government by consolidation just as Grant did in his appointment of < i ted States judges in later years. The Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of 1798-99 awoke the people, who pro tested against the Alien and Sedition laws. It was a glorious era of the vindi cation of the insulted Constitution and the restoration of the outraged righta of the Statea. Now we find Grant, Hayes and the stalwarts endeavoring to revive the same measures of repression and tyranny on election days through the instrumentality of Federal marshals and ooldiera.

Mr. Robert Nelson is Presi dent and Mi*s Kate Lee, Secretary. Mr. Knoch Kmory, thewflicient porter ut the Hush House, and a man of consid erable intelligence, prepared an address to mother* which he delivered before the j Society on a recent occasion, the sub- I stance of which we give to our readers : AIiIiRRSH TO MOTIIF.K*. MB. PRESIIIEVT. —There stood by the : cross of Jesus, hi# mother. I mention 1 thia text to illustrate one single point ! the strength of a mother's love for her children—a feeling as universal a* man, and a stream *o deep that nothing but the eye of the ' >mnieient one can see ! it* greatest depth. Whereeveryou find | woman, exalted or lowly, she will cheer | fully give up her life and go down to the grave to save 10-r child. The Iw-nrt of the j mother can never grow cold. Her off I *pring may leave hor one by one and j be scattered to the four quarter* of the globe, hut she i* ever constant in her affection. A mother must be decided and firm. This i* not so difficult, but when this firmness i* tempered with tender feel ing* and a voice us soil a* the note* of a ilute, it i* exceedingly ditlicult. Your .child ha* but little judgment, and hun dred* of times a week ami many times every day n* wishes must lie denied and | it* will made to submit to yours. In doing this the trial* of a mother are nerei sarily constant and unknown. How can a mother train up her child for Godi a question I would answer by replying that she must be a woman of daily, fervent, habitual prayer for j she need* wisdom. She must lead her child to feel that the Imdy is not the great object for which he live*. Mr. President, there i* a clnss of mothers, many belonging to good so ciety, who teem to seek to destroy their I children. Wiiat shall be said of h> r who takes her child down to the river side and lavs it upon Ihg wave* of time, and she stand* by and sees the waves carrying 10-r own child out into the deep, while the drum* are beating to drown the cries of her infant. We see this same class coining and surround ing the table of the lord, and they tell us they are on the road to heaven! Now, let Ul view those noble mothers whose hearts never grow cold for their offspring. Though rivers run and mountains rear their bead* and long desert* lie between her and them, that love which hold* them to her heart never grow* cold. Now, why ha* God planted this deep love for the offspring in that mother's heart ? Thete she stand* with dignity—a spirit which may ever rise up in glory and in light. Nev er tin* side of eternity will the influ ence of a mother le known who trained up a child nnd planted religious im pressions upon hi* soul that a kingdom and a crown could not keep b;m from adhering to. ", mother*, train up your children for eternity, then, once more, because this will place your child high in glory. In this life wecan never know how many spirit* of just tnen made perfect now reign in heaven in cnnequence of the faithfulness of their mother*. Mr. President, I must say I have never mot with any loss so great a* that of losing the care and insfiuclion* of my mother • luring my childhood in consequence of her having lost her reason. Hut 1 can recollect that when a little l>oy I wa* standing at the open window at the clo*e of a lovely summer day. The large, red sun was just sinking away behind the western lull* the sky wa* gold and purple commingled-the winds were sleeping, and a soft, solemn stillness seemed to hang ovpr the earth. I WAS watching the sun a* he sent his yellow ray* through the trees, and felt a kind of awe. though I knew not wherefore. Just then my mother came to me. She was raving with phrenty, for reason had long since left it* throne and her a vic tim of madness. She came up to me wild with insanity. I pointed to the glorious sun in the west, and in a mom ent she wa* calm. She look riiy hand within hers and told me that the great God made the sun, the star* and the world—ererything -that He it was who made her little boy, and gave him an immortal spirit; that yonder sun and the green fields and the world itself will one day l>e burned up; hut that the spirit of her child will than be alive. Mr. President, you see how these ' good mothers put their trust irt God ; then you may see how the wicked and jirofano mother* trust in Mammon. Those who with to live in sin are afraid to know all they can almut find. Hut their mothers that stand on the rock of ages—though storm* of sorrow gather over them, though their dearest hope* l>e cut off, 'though tbeir mo*t-)oved friend* lie taken away by death, though their very graves be worn out. and the earth and heavens part and all thing* be seen crumbling to ruin*—*till they are safe, the denial God is their refuge and nothing shall ever hurt them. The j golden chain which binds all holy being* | together is held by tho hand of the eternal God. The eye that watches over all never slumbers, never sleep*. He foresee* all things, provide* for all event*. Those good and noble mothers need not be afraid of darkness—ever lasting light is about the throne of God. They need not fear sorrow—rivers of joy flow at Hi* right hand. They need not fear death—the great fountain of life and light is never to he dried uji. Those wicked mothers cannot stand in hia presence, for God remains and wilt punish sin. Mayor Stockly, of Philadelphia, re ceived a letter on Friday from a lawyer of Krie, Pa., stating that a man in that city, while under the fear of death, hod confessed to having committed a mur der in Philadelphia some years ago, killing a porter in a dentist's establish ment and robbing the place of a large amount of gold. The murder referred to ia that of Jamea Nead*, who in IBA3 was gaged and strangled at White'* dental establishment. Parties were ar rested at the time, but the evidence waa toot sufficient to bold them and they were discharged. Fit* .lullll l'rtT. Crin WiuliliiKti.ti Pint. One of the questions that will add to the |>olitexcitement of the next ses sion of (/Ongremi in that of restoring '"■n. Kit* John l'orter to hi* rank in the army, ami of allowing him pay for the time he bos heen HO unjuatly de prived of hia position. This subject will lead to a hitter political diaeuaaion, and very many interesting reta will be developed. When the hoard which re opened and reviewed the Porter caae submitted it# report, certain hading Republican statesmen immediately urg ed Mr. Ilayea to inform them of the de ! ciaion. In hia u*ual round about way ho complied with their request, and thua the newa that Oen. Porter had | heen vindicated became public. Oen. I Garfield, Zek ' handler, and other prominent Republican* inaisted that i the report ahould not he laid before ''ongreaa, "at leaat for the present." 'lhey urged that the finding of the Hoard waa a stigma upon the original court martial anil upon President Lin coin, who approved its finding; that political influence had induced the ver dict of vindication, and that Hayes' duty to hi* party should prompt him to render that verdict null and void; that to make the vindication complete by re storing (Jen. Porter to his rank and pay, | would prove advantageous to the Hem oeratic party and injurious to the Ke | üblican party. Senator Randolph la bored industriously to counteract the influence of the radical politic ians and had frequent interviews wiih Mr. Hayes, lie reminded the <!t /< irio President that he had ordered the review of the case, and had made his own selection of the officer* to perform that duty; that the hoard was composed of honorable and distinguished men, who had performed their duty faithfully, and such a course as that advised by Garfield would he a public reproach to those officer*; that the only honorable action open was to submit the rejtort to Congress for it* ac ; tion. Haves was kept between these two fire* ftr weeks, lie was inclined to comply with the demands of his party, but the public expression*, through newspaper* and otherwise, a* to the l'orter c i>e admonished him that the call for justice was too loud to be mis understood. He finally pursued a course in keeping with his nature, and coin promised. It was his duty to either ap prove or disapprove the finding of the l-'card. ami transmit the report to Con grc--#, If he approved there was noth ing ele to say. but if he disapproved he would have to give hi* reason* for so doing. There was a'csolutely nothing upon which to base a disapproval, and he said to the friends of lien, l'orter that to approve the finding would cor tainly array hi* party leaders against bun. He admitted the justice of the finding, and acknowledged that great injustice had been done lien. l'orter, but he couldn't take issue witu the Radical leaders, even to do right. Then said <ten. l'orter'* friend*: "Send the rejiort and all the testimony to C-ongrew* without approval or disapproval. Tut the whole subject Iwjorc ''ongre** and lot that body do what it believe* to IK' right." Hayes assented to thia proj<oi. lion, but wa prevented from putting it into olivet for two weeks by the imjsor tunities of Chandler and 'iarfield. They would not consent to anything that would lead to a ventilation of the man ter in which the condemnation of l'or ter wa* obtained, 'iarfield made it a personal matter with Hayes, saying that he had served upon the court-martial, and to reverse the verdict would tie an imputation upon hi* honor. "Hut what ran I do?" asked Hayes despairingly, 'iarfield wanted the reiKirt to remain an executive secret, and insisted, at all events, that it should not be sent to Congress during the extra session ; but '♦en. l'orter'* friends prevailed, and the bare report xrs* transmitted. Senator Randolph, a* chairman of the Senate military committee, hopes! to bring the matter before that lody during the continuance of the recent session, but the important legislation in hand prevented htm. He intends, however, to get the question liofore Congress early in lie ccmlier next in the shape of a bill to restore lien Porter to hi* proper rank, i and pay him for the lime he ho* been 1 unjustly deprived of that position. The i back pay will amount in the aggregate to $ 1 15,000 for the rank Hen Porter held when dismissed. His friends insist that allowance shall be made in hi* favor for the promotion he would no j doubt have earned, had he not stood in , the way of Radical schemer*, but Gen. ! Porter has informed them that he wanted only the complete vindication ! to which he waa entitled, and that a restoration to his old rank would be entirely satisfactory.. On the very day j that Hayes sent the report to Con gross, /.*ch Chandler and Garfield spent an hour or two trying to prevail u|>on him not to do so. Tney made aeveral call# at the White House for that purpose, and were very indignant because the acting President would not do their I bidding. The persistence with which Garfield and Chandler pursued Hayc* waa not prompted by love of party so much as by love of self. Hoth of them host personal reason* of a sltong nature for suppressing the last report. The testimony taken by the board of inquiry when made public, will condemn them both j it will show that they were, while the war was raging, scheming for political ends, and were willing to sacri fice the troop* in the field to accom plish their selfish puri>o*ee. Garfield'* conduct upon the court martial will tie exhibited in its true light. He set out to convict Porter, and the Hoard of in quiry proved the fact. One of the wit nesses who bad Iwfore the court-mar tial given very damaging testimony ngainst Gen. Porter, recanted it all be fore the Hoard, and swore that he waa induced to testify falsely by Zach Chan dler. He gave to the Hoard the details of Chandler's conversation with biro, the reason Zach assigned for the neces sity of getting Porter out of the way, and what he wanted the witness to swear to. Zach Chandler waa a power In Washington politics then, and for a promised reward in the shape of a posi tion, the witness aaya he swore falsely against Gen. Porter. All thia will come nut when the matter comes before Con- which account* for Zaeh'a hitter ity to Porter's vindication.
