J®* THE fact most clearly and conclu sively demonstrated by the occurrences of the past few years, is, that the masses have beeu ahead cf the leaders, in advocating and demandiug the adoption of those great principles of Iluman Rights and Equality, which are now so near their final triumph. Whilst those in power have held back, the people have steadily progressed, until they have brought public men up to their stand ard. The wheels of progress never go backward—the hands on the dial of Truth and Right never stand still. And the peo ple now expect that the men chosen to give shape and consistency to their views and desires, shall be selected from those who have stood in no doubtful attitude in the past—but beiug deeply imbued with the popular demands, will heartily and zealous ly co-operate in those great measures of legislation, which are necessary for the fu ture welfare of the country, the success of which have been secured at such a great sacrifice of blood and treasure. In the election of a U. S. Senator, this is particu lar demanded—that the man elected should be one who has been identified with the popular feeling during the discussions of the past—who has stood in no uncertain or hesitating position—but who, on the con trary is a representative man, and whose election will be regarded throughout the country, as due to his advanced views, and recognized servie s in the cause of Univer sal Freedom. HORACE GREELEY, announces that he is a candidate for U. S. Senator from New York. The New York Times and Herald both favor his election. We have no doubt he will be chosen, on account of his great services in the popular cause. He will be sadly out of place,in that body, judg ing from his Congressional career, which was a total failure, so far as practical re salts were concerned. Mr. GREELEY'S place is in the editorial sanctum of the Tribune, advocating those great principles which he unquestionably has to much at heart.— When he attempts to advise as to the prac tical application of those measures, he makes himself ridiculous by the unpracti cal nature of his propositions —which often times are not onty impossible, but mis chievous. CONGRESS meets on Monday next. The President's Message is already in type, and will be forwarded to the newspapers in the principal cities in advance of its delivery. It is looked for with very little interest, as the country has given up all hope of AX DREW JOHNSON'S acting reasonably, and it is of very little consequence what he wants or says. He will probably again " swing round the circle" and leave the Constitu tion and the Hag, " with thirty-six stars onto it," (as NASBY says,) in the hands of Congress, which will be the most sensible thing he can do. A. J. GERRITSON, editor of the Mon trose Democrat has beeu appointed Asses sor for the 12th district iu the place of W. H. JESSCP, removed. Mr. J. has discharg ed the duties with rare judgment and fidel ity, but ho has declined to apostatize in fa vor of " my policy." The selection of Mr. GERRITSON as the re cipient of favors from the Administration is eminently proper. The Democrat of which he is the editor is one of the most intensely virulent Copperhead papers in the State. In fact, at times it has beeen so thoroughly saturated with poison, and so malignant in its demonstrations, that its friends became nervously anxious lest it should bite itself. Its columns have probably contained more foul abuse of ANDY JOHNSON and more dis loyalty generally than any other paper in the State. Nothing but its insignificaance has prevented its being squelched by pop ular indignation. Now that the Administration is striving to show how deep it can dive, and how muddy it can come up, it is peculiarly ap propriate that such displays of its nasti ness should be made. If there is a "John son Republican " in the 12th District, we felicitate him upon this disposal of govern ment patronage. THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. —It is under stood that the Secretary of the Treasury will devote considerable attention in his forthcoming report to the question of re sumption of specie payments. He will un doubtedly ask for further power to fund the floating and non-interest bearing obli gations of the Government, and will like wise urge a more concentrated system of redemption of national bank notes as a uecessary preliminary to a resumption of specie payments. Mr. MeCulloch thinks, with proper legislation, he may return to a specie standard within eighteen mouths. On the other hand, it is known to be the opinion of many leading bankers in the country that with one hundred millions of gold in the Treasury specie payments may be resumed within ninety days. And they argue that the entire security and great diversity of the circulation of the Nation al Rank notes is one of the most potent ele ments to aid a resumption, and that the system of redemption should not, therefore, be more stringent than it now is, but, on the contrary, if any change be made, that it should be relaxed. This question will ; force itself upon the early attention of Con gress, and will prove one of the most im portant of the session. IST 1 A Texas paper is authority for the statement that General Grant has rocog nized the nullification of his General Order authorized military commauders to arrest persons charged with certain offenses,when the civil courts refused to act. If this be so, it will still further unsettle the security !of the Freedmen. We hear from Tennes see that in White County no colored person 1 can have a fair trial, when a white man is | his opponent. WELCOME TO CONGRESS. —It is proposed by the Soldiers' and Sailors' Uniou, of Wash ington City, to give a grand welcome to Congress on Saturday the Ist of Decem ber. To this end a call has been issued by a Committee appointed by the Union, in viting the veterans of the Republic, and all other friends of the cause of Union and liberty,to meet on that day in Washington, in a national mass welcome and council.— " The necessity of preserving the results gained in the field, and more recently at the polls," and "to encourage and strength en Congress to such just action as will make peace permanent and liberty univer sal," is the reason given for this demonstra tion, and a grand time is anticipated. A WARNING TO OFFCE SEEKERS. —The pub lication is made, by authority, iu the Na tional Republican, that "the President is necessarily engaged upon important pub lic matters, preparatory to the early assem bling of Congress, and will have no time, until after the meeting of that body, to give the slightest attention to applicants for office. All such matters are referred to the heads of the different Departments. Office-seekers and their friends can save themselves much time, labor and expense by acting upon the above hint, and will're lieve the President from the unpleasant ne cessity of declining to entertain and exam ine their applications. It is a physical impossibility for him to prepare his mes sage and at the same time transact the de tail business appropriately belonging to his Cabinet Ministers." EUROPE. —We have dispatches by Ocean Telegraph to Nov. 25. The British Royal Commission on the Neutrality laws will soon commence its sessions. There are vague reports that twenty militia regiments are to be sent over to Ireland to prevent Fenian uprisings. It is rumored that the Imperial Commis sion on the reorganization of the French army will report in favor of the Prussian system. The condition of the "Mexican Empire" is the leading topic in England and on the Continent. The health of the Princess Char lotte remains the same. The Deak party in Hungary have petit ioned Francis Joseph for the restoration of the laws of 1848. UST" The Meadville (Penu.) Republican denies the statement that there is but one soldier of the Revolution living, and says that there is in Sandusky,Cataraugus Coun ty, N. Y., an old Revolutionary soldier, Matthias Barkeman by name, who draws pension from Government. He was born iu x 755, and is therefore now 111 years old. His wife, who was one year younger than himself, died about three years ago ; and his daughter, fourscore years and more, keeps house for him. The old man enjoys remarkably good health for one of such ad vanced years, and walks to the village,half a mile from his residence, every two or three days. On each Fourth of July he takes his old fowling-piece, and goes out into the fields, where he blazes away a sa lute in honor of Independence Day. MEXICO. —We have from Washington offi cial Mexican news that the French have lost the entire State of Puebla,keeping only the line of the main road from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico, aud this the victories of Gen. Diaz render liable to be cut off at any moment. The agreement by which the gar rison of Oaxaso was surrendered to Gen. Diaz is given in our dispatches. SURVEYOR OF THE PORT OF PHILADELPHIA.— The President has appointed J. >. SEVERXS Surveyor of the Port of Philadelphia, in the place of E. REED MYEB resigned. SEVERXS is one of the very worst specimens of a Copperhead without reputation to redeem his political heresies. BURLINGTON, Bradford Co., Penn'a. I November 26, 1860. ) MB. EDITOR :—I am much pleased with your comments in the last REI'OUTEB on the question of U. S. Senator, and especially with the preference you express for General CAMERON. The Union men of the State are alive on this subject, and the pervading sentiment is, that the safest is the best man. COWAN'S base treachery has excited suspi cion of that style of men, and less brilliancy, and more steadfastness of character, is demanded for the future. While I would not, by word or deed, disparage Governor CVUTIN'S eminent talents, and great services, I can not but consider him less fit ted for Senator, in the present juncture, than his rival, General CAMERON ; and this not because six months ago we did not know where the Governor stood on the main political issues of the day, but because vacillation is an inherent weakness of his nature, as it is with almost all men of his showy and plausible characteiistics. Such men, as a rale, are never so constant, never so effective, nev er so successful, as the more quiet, less glittering, yet more persevering workers of the CAMERON school. Our own political history is full of illus trations demonstrating this, and every man of ex perience aud observation, has seen it proven in every relation of human life. Aside too, from the great reliability of General CAMERON, is the fact, that he alone, of all the statesmen at the head of the Government, when preparations were making to resist the rebels, tnlly comprehended the mag nitude of our difficulties, showing a far-reaching, practical sagacity eminently fitting him for the present trying emergencies of our party and the government. Yours truly, G. BaT" Since the recent additions made to JefT. Davis' quarters in Carrol Hall, and the removal ot Mrs. Davis aud her sister to the rooms prepared for them, he has be come remarkably cheerful. His health has much improved of late, and he is said to speak very confidently of being released. Relatives and fiiends from all parts of the South are constantly arriving, entering the fort at pleasure, and departing almost un observed. The Adams Express Company are in constant receipt of packages and presents for Davis, furnished by his sym pathisers. I& A private dispatch,received in Wash ington from New-Orleans, gives a report tljat Maximilian had sailed from Vera Cruz, haying turned over his administration to Bazine. "CAST THY BREAD UPON THE WATERS."— Gin. Cameron (says the Willimnsport Bulle tin,) was the first Cabinet Minister who in* i sisted upon employing the negroes to aid in putting down the rebellion. At that time, President Lincoln thought it nnnec essary, and the timid men around him thought the people would not approve the. measure; so Gen. Cameron's report was curtailed and the best part of it knocked oil'. lie never changed his opinions, but the Administration came to him. Now that he is again before the people as a candidate for Senator, his sagacity in that celebrated report is doing him more good than any other act of his political life. He cast liis bread upon the waters, and is find ing t after "many days." Gen. Butler, in a recent sp. . eh, said: "I ' January, 1861, Gen. Cameron, then S-eiv; ry of War, put in his report the assertion that the slaves ought to be em ployed as soldiers agaiust their masters, and immediately the cry was raised all over the country, 'Why, this is a white man's war ; no negroes should be employed iu this way ; it ought to be fought out by white men. It is a white man's quarrel solely. The negroes don't know enough to be soldiers ; they do not know enough to kill men. Mr. Cameron had to leave Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet because of that report and go to Russia."' jgstf- On Friday night of last week a band of seven or eight men raided upon McLeod's Station, about twenty miles beyond Bowl ing Green, on the Memphis branch road, and plundered the store of Mr. Watson. In retracing their way a young lady was grasped by one of them, and threatened with instant death if she did not tell them where they could find the balance of Wat son's money. Though fast in the grip of the ruffian anil a pistol at her head, she steadily refused to disclose the secret. The robber was so abashed by her first deport ment, that he relinquished his hold and passed on. The girl at the time held in her dress-sleeve $2OO or $3OO of the covet ed money. The rogues were white men disguised as negroes. fs%&* The Baltimore Sun says that the Antietam National Cemetery, at Sharps burgh, is rapidly approaching completion. The substantial walls of dressed limestone are receiving their ponderous coping, and present a workmanlike and artistic appear ance The remains of upward of twelve hundred bodies have been exhumed and re interred by the detachment of the United States burial corps on duty, and their la bors still continue. Mr. Aaron Good, a citizen of Sharpsburg, immediately after the battle of Autietam, with commendable public spirit, made a very complete record and chart of the graves of the fallen of both armies, and renders valuable assist ance to the corps. HORRHU.E ACCIDENT IN ONEIDA COUNTY—A WOMAN TORN IN PIECES ALONG THE ROAD.— The Utioa papers give the particulars of a runaway accident that occurred at Holland Patent, II miles north of Utica, last Sat urday afternoon. Mrs.Ward,wife of Nathan iel Ward, jr., a most estimable woman, and the center of an affectionate family circle, started with her little boy to attend the meeting of the Baptist Church at the Patent, where she was to meet her husband and daughter. After going a little way the horse became restive, when the little boy became frightened and returned home.— Soon afterward the vicious beast became unmanageable and started to run. Mrs. Ward, in attemping to jump, caught her hoop-skirt on the springs, and was thus dragged a mile and a half over a rough and stony read. She finally became disen tangled, and was found most horribly torn and lacerated, and life nearly extinct. Her clothing was scattered along the road, anil even her shoes and stockings were torn from her feet. One arm and one limb brok en. her head nearly scalped, and the llesh in several places torn to the bones, tell how great must have been the sufferings of the unfortunate victim. Death soon re lieved her sufferings. APPI.ES AFLOAT. The, Rochester Express of Tuesday says: "The apple crop of Western New-York is very late in getting to market this Fall. Immense quantities of apples are still afloat upon canals, and can hardly reach the Hudson before the last days of the month, and they may be nipped by Jack Frost before they get to their destination. On Sunday afternoon there was no less than 23,000 barrels of apples afloat at and near Middleport, Niag ara County. There are also large quanti ties of potatoes afloat. Buyers estimate that there are fully 100,000 barrels of ap ples and potatoes on the canal west of the Palmyra breach." THE HON. THADDEUS STEVENS. —We under stand tiiat the Hon. Thaddeus Stevens has been some days detained in Franklin Coun ty, through feebleness of health. Not only the people of Pennsylvania but of every loyal part of the country would hear with the deepest regret that there was any pros pect of his being kept from his seat in the House of Representatives, for that, for any cause, the Republic could not have the ben efit, as formerly, of his labors in the delib erations that are to take place on the great questions of the day.— Pittsburg Commer cial. SIGNIFICANT. —We notice that the Daily News, the Johnson organ in Philadelphia, favors the election of Gov. Curtin to the United States Senatorship, and bitterly op poses Gen. Cameron as a Radical. What does it mean ? fitaT" J. 11. Surratt, the alleged accom plice in the murder of President Lincoln, was discovered serving in the Papal Zou aves, under the name of John Watson. He was arrested upon a demand of Gen. King, but afterward ran the guard, leaped over a prcipice, and escaped in Italian ter ritory. The Italian authorities are on the alert, and endeavoring to recapture him. The debt of the State of Pennsylva nia has been reduced $1,158,009,02 during the year ending September 30, 186 G.

First proposition to be made public : FRIEND NELSON :—First, 1 would say, according to the best calculations, in the Bsrongli of Towanda, there is sold yearly one hundred thousand dollars worth of Boots and Shoes,mostly slop work of the most inferior kind, and the people generally are sick of it. And now 1 say to your again, as 1 have before,enlarge your Store, make it neat and commodious, and keep a good stock ol Books and Shoes, and you shall be sustained. Most of the people begin to feel a little above buying their boots and shoes at Dry Goods Stores ; it looks verdant and outlandish. Ge do not ask to make y ur goods if it is not convenient. The facilities iu some other localities, where a better eh )ice of sto i k and workmen can be had, may be still better And you have always bteo in the business, and better understand this one point and im portant branch of the Merchant's art, t!iin those that deal in Silks and Muslins, and they, I believe, would be glad to let this business go where it belongs ; that they have done it heretofore to accomodate the people ; 1 do believe it you would opeu a first-class Shoe Store the people would not go to Dry Goods Stores to buy Shoes , any more than they would to Drugstores for Oats. Stop, stop! what are you talking about ? has not any one the right to sell what he pleases? It may be, but not in justice is it right, in so large a place as this .where practical men are engaged wholly in this business. It Las been given up iu every other place, and according to custom it will be here. Two thousand five hundred propositions made from customers, is, to bring more ; of the same kind of Boots and Shoes you brought with you when you came in town seven years ago. I have never seen a good Shoe before nor since, is the language of them all at the same time. Raise thy l'eet gently And think it so queer That the Boots 1 sold then Should wear tbera a year. I now yield to the above propositions, and have prom ised to sell Twenty-live Thousand Dollars worth ol his Boots and Shoes if he would make them as good as those I brought here seven years ago. and the answer is I will ! I will! Well friends, yonr proposition made And I've consented to the trade, So I will sell you Shoes both strong and neat, To please the taste and suit the feet.
