The resolutions are very lengthy,
covering all the moral and political

and denounce both the politicarpar
ties as being conspirators against the

option law against the vote, the pro
test, experience and petition of the

bk the political powers of thin wicked
trade. They also arraign the'-Repub

false to its loudly-proclaimed: princi

cial favors to none,' and of protection
to the weak and dependent, in
to the mischiefs which the trade in
liquors has constantly inflicted :upon
the . industry, trade, commerce and

everything to lose, and nothing to

the withdrawal from the Republican
candidates of- the votes of Prohibi

which is avowedly unfriendly to the
Temperance cause. It will teach po
litical parties a lesson, which cer
tainly will not tend to the advance
ment of the reforms so earnestly de
sired; namely, that the advocacy of
Temperance principles is not an ele
ment of strength, but is fraught with
danger and defeat. The Republican
party is the only - political organiza
tion which ever dared to take open
- ground in favor of Temperance—:-the
only one which dared when in power
to pass restrictive and prohibitory
laws. To build up and strengthen
that party is to build up and
strengthen the cause of Temperance
and morality. To strike it down is
to remove all restrictions and give
fall sway to the traffic in liquors:
Upon the Temperance men rests - the
responsibilfty of deciding whether or
not the Republican party shall suffer
because it has been a party of reform,
temperance and morality.
EX-60V. BIGLEB.
Gov. BiciLzu is one of the shrewd
est political leaders in the Democratic
party, and undoubtedly could secure
the gubernatorial nomination this
fall if he desired. But he foresees
the triumphant election of General
HARTEANYT and therefore wisely de
clines to allow, his name to ,be used
in connection with the nomination.
He has addressed the following letter
to Dr. WILSON, of Clearfield county:
ST. NICHOLAS HOTEL,
New York, June 4, 1875. 1
To Dr. R. W. Wilson, Clearfield, Pa.:
MY DEAR SIR : I am in possession of
yours of the 2d, and have made special
note of what you say therein about the
Centennial celebration and about State,
politics,, and have to say in reply, that it'
is unnecessary to dikusa the Guberato
rial questiorq so , far as relates to mysilf,,
for I am not a candidate for the nominn
tionnnd cannot be induced tobecome one.
It is->now almost twenty-four years since
the people of Pennsylvania selected me to
811 that high and honorable office, as they
did, also, at a subsequent date confer up
on me another trust of equal distinction
and honor, and it must not be understood
that I expect or desire them, at this late
period in my life, to again select me for
the Gubernatorial chair. So far from this
it gives me real pleasure to withdraw my
name from the canvass and to concede the
coming opportunity to the younger men
of my party, who arc able and willing to
endure the toil and excitement incidentto
a political aunixtign. Beside, I should
not feel willing, for some months to come,
to leave the Centennial work, in which I
am now constantly engaged, and when I
do so, I hope it may be to return to my
family and friends at Clearfield.
With sincere respect, I remain your
obedient servant, W.M. 81011111.
i WE uori every reader of the RE
PORTER who has been seriously con
templating casting. his vote against
GOT. HARTRANFT on temperance
principles, has read, or will read, the
very able and convincing argument
of our valued correspondeit, " Cas
telar," in last week's issue. We do
not believe the great majority of tem
perance men desire to pursue a
course whi'ch can only result in inevi
table defeat , to the cause ; and' it re
quires no • argument to convince any
sane person that the triarnph .pf the
Democratic party is the death-knoll
to all temperance measures. We sin
cerely believe that! the local-OptiOn
law should have been allowed i- to _re
main on the statute books, but as
both branches of the legislature voted
to accept it, and many earnest and
conscientious temperance men, es
pecially in the counties where the
people. voted in favor of license,
urged the Governor to sign the re
pealing act, for the reason that the
new law was much more restrictive
than the old, we think it greatinjul;-
tice on the part of temperance men
to cast their votes against him, when
his defeat is certain to give us an ad
ministration hostile to all temperance
legislation, for it makes no difference
what the individual views of the
Democratic nominee for Governor
may be, the party is in favor of rum,
and if elected, he will be compelled
to obey the behests of his constitu
ents. •
TnE Brad ford Republican and
Northern Tier Gazette advocate the
adoption of the Crawford county
system in nominating candidates in
this county. We have never had
pinch faith in the system, but will
cheerfully give it a trial if the people
so desire. It has many objections
and gives boroughs And thickly-set
tled localities great advantage over
the rural districts and sparsely-settled
sections. However, we are not pre
pared to say it may not be so em
ployed in this county as to.prove ad
vantageouiin the selection of candi
dates, and we hope to see :the next
County Convention take some action
in the matter. Professional politicians
cannot with safety disregard the
wishes of the people in the nomina
tion of candidates, and any system
which will serve to secure a• more
general interest and participation in
the primary meetings should be re,
sorted to, in order that nominating
conventions may more fully represent
the-wishes of the people.

which snmetimeaMark our po
litical contests, all, calculation as -to
the result was impossible, and the :
Demoeratie party secured a majority
in the lions°, of Representatives;
while the majority of the people arc
Republican. Whatever may have
peen the cause of this denouement, it
behoves us -to examine carefully
into the chaiacter and ,qualifications
of the party Which his achieved so
sudden a success, though so obnox
ious to the nation and ascertain its
capacity to protect ttie public welfare,
and to guide the COmitry through a
period of acknowledged difficulty.
It has often been asked, , what are
the principles of, the' Democratic
party ?—The questiontwas answered
during the last Preaidential cam
paign. "The Demi*tic party,"
said a ; gentleman, "never had but
two s pillars on which: to stand, or
upon which it_ his stood for fifty
years, namely : slavery and negro
bating, and whisky." True, `slavery
has been destroyed, but the Demo
cratic party regrets its destruction.
Its hatred of the 'negro is so ingrain
ed that it seems as if a Democrat
could hardly regard him as a 'main
being: Tint its love Of whisky is as
firm as ever, in spite of the 'temper
ance cause; and its use of it in local
ities not advanced in civilization,
show what a fOrce it is.II If the
strength of the Democratic party did
not Consist mainly in popular ignor
ance, a larger number of inte lligent
-men would be fotuid . in its ranks.
Its surprise was intense wyon dis
covered that the part' , was success
ful, though it numbered nd more
votes than. when it had o ften be
moaned defeat. And: it discovered
further, that its success was owing to
Republican supinenessi which preven
ted thousands of Republican voters.
from going to the poll he intelli
gence of the country, therefore, failed
in its duty, and ; let the election go
by default. The nsuat high . purpose
and love of truth; as applicable to the
great business oflife were absent, and
the 'partymost afraid oftruth came
into power on the shoulders of that
neglect. But the history of the Dem
ocratic party cannot be concealed by
its fears, nor blottedi out by its mis
representations; and, indeed, its fears
are justified; for it will have to face
the truth which it ought to haVe heard,
and which might havetreed the coun
try from Democratic ascendancy.
The party is now on trial before _ the
nation ; and were not the situation
so grave, we cnight !limy that it re ,

Wednesday of last *leek, made the
following nominations Dr. R.l l AtDLEY
BROWN, of Lawrene'e county, for
Governor, ELIJAH P.TENNYPACKER,
1 for State Treasurer. The.hiladel
i
phis Times, (34eCLuitE's pfiper) con-
I siders it a strong ticket and says "it
will poll from ten te. twenty thous
and votes. - The TiMes, also exults
in the belief that it - Will drag I its prin.
cipal support from the Republican
ranks. Such rerattrki, from such a
1 source ought to open the ;eyes of sin
teere temperance men to the fact that
thirs movement, 3houl d it de I .elop any
• • ;.,
considerable strength', can have no
other result than tOistrengthen the
Deniocrats at the exPense. of the Re
publican party,, • If they are satisfied
with this, we suppose it is 11l right;
but a much manlier course would be
to vote , directly ' for the Democratic
candidates. We : believe, !otowever,
before the contest is oven that the
sincere friends of temPerane will be
disgusted with _ being used as cats
_paws to haul. DemocOtic chestnuts
out of the fire and will,thro7 dismay
into the Democratic enmp by resolv
ing to vote the Republican ticket.
, Wilms every candidate his an un
doubted right to solicit the aid of any
and all of his Mends: in forwarding
his interests, we adviie Republicans
to be on their guard against making
pledges, or allowing their feelings to
get too much enlisted for any indi
vidual. The best interests Of the
party should be considered fifst, and
no good Republican Will ask , to have
the party weal' subordinated to his
individual ambition. , Discuss the
merits and claims of the seve ral
l gen
tlemen named in connection with the
office to be filled, and then d termine
to act for the best interests f party
and the county. L 4 personal likes

lnsig
t hale s celtafti4tadience, and
moat speakers when standbig before
'an' audience hive-a-ears not to in
dulge' iri pure personal spite. Ifthey
have any vestige of reasonleft, they
conclude that only a small portion
of the audience are likely to be inter
ested' in a recital of the personal
griveances of the speaker. If they I
are not, wholly lunatics, they richly
conclude that the betrayal , of passion,
and hate will inevitably rob any sober
sentiments they may chance to ex,
press of all moral force. In short:
when a politican mounts the stump,
he endeavors to command for the oc
casion whatever of common sense he
happens to possess, and does not make
an ass of himself by airing all his pri
vate griefs, which becowe follies as
soon as made public. But Mr. Edit--
or McClure can neither forget him
self or his personal sorrows. He says
to his small audience in substance :
"..The Republican paity of Pennsyl
iambi have placed an excellent State
ticket in the field. Governor Hart
ranft has discharged 'the duties of the
'Executive 'office even to Any satisfac
tion. Mr. Rawle is a most respecta
ble gentleman, eminently fit for the
office of Treasurer of State; I should
hare been gratified to support both
of the candidates If it had not hap
pened, unfortunately, that my per
sonal enemy, Simon Cameron, assist
,ed at their nomination.
"It would have been proper for
you; Republicans of Pennsylvania,
to cast your votes solidly for Hart
ranft and Rawle,
were it not for the
circumstance that Simon Cameron
will also vote for them:l But I can
not support any man who receives
the support of Mr. Cameron, because
he is my enemy ; and I advise you to
join me in revenging myself on Mr.
Cameron by voting against two ex
cellent gentlemen, who are in every
way admirably tited to perform the
duties of the offices to which they
have been respectiVely nominated by
the 'Republican party of the Key
stone State." We are inclined to the
opinion that Mr. Cameron will pity
his enemy on account of the ridicu
lous attitude im which he has volun
tarily placed hinuielf and' his little
newspaper.
WE REGRET to notice that our co
temporary of the Republican has
thought it necessary to copy from a
tion i rban sheet a gross Misrepresenta
tion of the REPORTER. The editor
.very well knows that . neither of the
editors of this, paper have ever advo
cated a third term for Oen. GRANT
or any other Presidential candidate,
and that our, views upon that ques
tion do not differ from his own.
What we have al4ays insisted upon,
and stip persist in, is that we, as Re
publicans, should not allow bur iene
mies to dictate our , course or cause
discord in our ranks by attributing
to prominent men. motives and de
signs never entertained. We have
treated our neighbor fairly and cour
teously and shall continue to do so,
and beg leave to intimate tohim that
misrepresentation and detraction do
not permanently enhance any cause
or business.• •
rr i nigE is an old saying, that "you
must go away from home th get the
news," and the folloWing item from
the Temperance Vindicator proves
its truthfulness: C , -
"Bradford County is organizing. At an
informal meeting of the ' Prohibitory Ex
ecutive Committee, held in Towanda,
June. oth , it was resolved to call a County
COniention to nominate a county ticket,
to meet August 30th in Towanda. C. F.
Nichols, Esq., and Capt. C. M. Manville
were appointed delegates to the State
Prohibitory Convention, though unfortu
nately prevented from attending."
Though both the gentlemen named
are consistent and earnest temper
ance men, they do not approve of the
third-party. movement ; at least while
the , only *result of such a step would
be to lose the ground already gained,
by placing in Power those who detest
temperance and temperance advo
cates.
TIIE contest betiVeen the Baltimore
and Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad
Coinpanies was ended on the 16th,
by the Directors of both - companies
ratifying the basis . of settlement
agreUjd upon by President SCOTT and
`ice-President Kixo. " A single
amendment" Was adopted by the Bal
timore and Ohio Directors, which, it
is said, had been discussed at the
conference between Messrs KING and
ScOrr, and this amendment is undr
stood to have been accepted by the
Pennsylvania Directors. The tains
of settlement are not published, but
it is undertgood that. the agreement
is for a period of ten years, and , pro
vides for. moderate and uniform Ates
bet Ween all competing points, to be
maintained by both companies.
Tux Prohibitory Convention held
in Harrisburg •last week was not
largely attended. We notice the
name of Hon. J. F. CHAMBERLIN on
the Executive Committee. We, ire
noth•illing to believe that Mr. O. will
lend hig influence in a hopeless effort
to elect the ticket placed in nomina
tion. He has been too highly hon
ored by the Republicans of this coun
ty to engage in a political enterprise
which can only eventuate in undoing
all that he has; so earnestly labored
for in the past.
