The Democratic Convention assem bled in this place on Friday last, did as we predicted, nominated Col.''. I . R. STORES for Sheriff, in pursuance of amarrangement made by; . the lead t ers sOtne, weeks since. While Mr: smuts and the other manipulators or the party had the power to carry out the agreement, it was far from meeting the approbation of many of the delegates, to say nothing of sev several gentlemen who *ould have 'raised no objectionio beingplaeed up on the ticket,but did not care tb subinit thiir elei4s simply to be sacrificer on Mr. STORES' altar s It Was freely talked that all the other Candidates mutt be traded and traffieed in the intrest of the Sheriff, and that' Mr. S. `Made that arrangentent the only condition upon WhiCh he would put his money into the canvass. Agreeably with the arrangement, Mr. STORES was not to be , found in Towanda on the day of. the Conven tion; bat - his friends kept the spirits or the faithful ekuberent and Whirl ouls during the day in a manner pecu liar to ,Democratic politicians. On Monday when the unwilling (?) c.in didate made his appearance upon the streets, his usually smiling coun tenance was somewhat elongated, acid the report soon becaxne current that Ite had not yet conclinled to accept (?)., This was part' of the. game. .134, by urgent solicitations from his friends, hCfinally announced his acceptance of the empty honor, protesting the while that he did not want the office, and that he : only yielded' in compli ance to the unanimous; unsolicited (?)- eaßof his fellow-patriots. Ai:mourn MIL' Cir!iBBVC4..: has made : a good officer, rand is a geritle maii'of unexceptionable moral . ~ char acter, and was our first choice for the position, set, believing Mr. ANIMUS Was the fair choice of the contention, we regret exceedingly . that y r . C. has allowed himself to be,- - madC;i a candidate in.4ix)iition to a man so well 'qualified and in every way war thy the place. :Mr. ANDRITS, ;ts ire stated last week, was a s soldier in the Union. Army, and came out Of' the contest : maimed ; for life. When he submitted his claims with Mr. CHU* BUCK to:the '..Republican Convention, he supposed .the decision of 'that tribunal was to be finalt Had he been defeated there and Mr. CIIUBBUCK successful, we doubt not he would have yielded a hearty support to the ticket. Mr. CIIUBBUCK is honorably bound to do the same thing. • • • THE way the story got afloat that the - doors - of - Governor HAirramfrr's stable, -at Harrisburg, were made of walnut, at si,great cost to the State, is thus explained : A Democratic country editor was in Harrisburg some- time ago, and in the course of . his travels around the streets he no , - ticed an engine house, and made in quiry of a fireman to know-what kind of a building it was, to which the fire man replied that it was Governor ILturttatirr's stable. His eye sight not being very good,pecially on this occasion, he was ve iy easily im posed upon. The doors of thel Gov ern-or's stable are made of oak and painted with the common fire-proof painy,and they Were there at the time of his election. -- THE leading temperance men, if not the " temperapce leaders," are slowly getting their eyei open to the fact ' that their present political movement is simply aiding the Democratic par- - ty, and they are beginning to act ac cordingly. Father HERITAGE, in his Temperance Bleseing this week, hinds down the names of the Prohibition candidates for Governor and State Treasurer, and throws his Influence for the Republicans. -- Father Hun; one of the oldest and beet known temperance lecturers in the State, is addressing large meetings in Western . Pennsylyartia, opposing and depre cating the coerse now being pursued by his temperance friends. It is now , alined by thn 14deiv of the DelitOdatOatity , that k there is / titc6,:ect*ail oi(t. ..i: '„4. , 1 • - -,,..; ; ..., . r.p the eIIPPOre : of en w '.. le,/Kiretikt: key vtotet:nittiffie '. ' , 111.44ii the tallicy and duplicity Oi such reasoning will be apparent to the most casual observer. • '~ The Republican patty has: always been the party of retrench; ent and° reform. When 11. ink; power in this State twenty years since, the, Commonwealth was burdened with a debt of over $40,000,000 and the people were groaning under 'onerous taxes. A few years later the Rebell- ion, instigated by the Democratic pithy; &died In,n 'additional indebted ness of several millions of dollars, but to-day the actual debt of the State is only about $16,000,000, 'while the State, tax on /real estate, and most kinds of personal property has been entirely removed; schools have been established for the education of the soldiers' orphans, and our free school system has ste . adily advanced . until tolda l v Pennsylvania, in everything that goes to make a great and pros perous State,is second to no other lin the Union-. In 1860 wheh the Refiablicab party Comic into poWer in the Natietr, the Administration found itself without credit at home or abroad,' a depleted treasury, a deraorilized army, a navy scattered to the foar winds, alid the Nati•anal sathority repudiated and defied In eleven States; the pub lic offices filled with traitors, abetted and encouraged 'by the party which had held alnitstit unihterrupted sway in the country fOr nearly forty Years ; Under BUCHANAN the Democratic party abaffdtlated the Union and sur rendered the government' into •the .hands of traitors. . Havethey,.ever given any evidence of repentance for these enormous crimes? In 1864 their National Convention pronounced the war a &Hare; Mid dthiancltd a cem pronalse with rebels; and prominent members of the party held a confer ence in Canada with leading rebels. Among the syinpathizers with the Rebellion who. attended ,the confer ence Was 'VICTOR E. PIOLLET, who has now been rewarded for his trea sonable sentiments during the war by a nomination on the Democratic State ticket. And it is a notorious fiat that such inert as FRANK Huonzs stint BuCkkaw, wha boisted of their disloyalty during the war, now con trol and lead the party in this State; and what is true of Pennsylvania is equally. true 'of the party in the Na. tion. In the South no man is, recog nized by the Deniocratieparty unless he was conspicuous as a'rebel. Nei ther is this all. Men known to be rotten.and corrupt are placed in pc:p sitions of trust, and screened by the party when their iniquit* has been proven. On the other hand, the Re piiblicah party ;;has meted ont swift and t'ertaiii punishment; to') all in power who have been recreant to their ,trust.' A comparison' of the records ,Of the two _parties will be sufficient to satisfy the most skeptical of the saPeriority of Republican rule. • .

The fairness of it is not questioned, but is found impossi ble under it to distribute the nomi nees over the county properly. The irresistible tendency of it is to nomi natec the euti 'ticket from the most populous pa of the county. •This was one of 9 arguments we advan ced in op sition to the adoption here, and V * e it is sufficient in it self, there a e others and more po tent, reaso s against the plan. The experience of Crawford county- should forever set& the question as far as Bradford is concerned. LET us give the Republican State and County tipkets a long pull, a strong pull andla pull 'altogether , from now until the November election. This county has been set down for two • thousand majority; let 'us try now to make it three thousand, at least. We can do that if we but put our shoulders to the wheel. Let no Republican take a place in the rear rank. In the front line is where hard blows are given and taken, and there is where every vigorous and active Republican should put himsel fat once. -Tun groans men base their hopes of electing their men on the treachery of Republicans. They are openly boasting that certain Repnblicans'are offering to "sell out." We don't be lieve it. i There is not the slightest excuse for any Republican to oppose the ticket. If all the trickery any one charges really transpired, it was not sufficient to change results.

The victory gained in the Penn sylvania Democratic Convention yes terday by the inflationists and repu diators is one of the most significant events of the def. So far as can now be judgedi it Nil tiellg almost certain the adoptioh of id inflation Ostrom' by the Democratic National Conven tionnext year, and makes it extreme• ly probable. that the flnanciat issue will be. the principal one in the Pres• idential canvass. It hardly posst •bre that the Delnderatie party can fail to fail nuder the substantial con trol of the inflationists and repudia tors, now that these have carried the day in the tat great States of Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Democratic voters of those States constitute (in°. filth of the entire party in the Union. Even if their representatives alone were to enter the Democratic Nation al Conveniion bent upon bOmmittipg the party to their views, they would wiled great strength.:-.4Ner York Times. ' The political situation has become suddenly grave, No, enliOtenod citizen or true patriot can be indiffer ent to the action of the Pennsylvania Democratic State Convention in its session at Erie reported in our 'col umns this morning. , It.is an alarm ing proof that the inflation hekesy is -spreading, and that it islikely to ex ert a dominant control over one of our great political parties. We, re cord, with profound regret and sorrow, that in an Eastern State, a great and' influential State, the Stat't *hich ranks nest to New York in impor tenet, the Democratic party' has been conquered by the inflationists, and repeats and endorses the phio. plat form. This Democratic madness forebodes an Iliad Of woes. i It fore shadows a triumph of the inflationists in the Democratic National' Conven tion next year.—Arm York.Heralfr. • On financial „issues, which are a question of economic science, their platform is the mere outcome of suff ering ignorance, much as if a Lehigh coal-heaver rout of work had resent fully denounced the, transit of Venus expeditions as a job of the Astrono mers, and the correction Of the son distance as a useless piece ot abtruse information,—New York lirorld; Despite the splendid fight and hard,Won victory of the hard-money Democrats in the Committee, on Reso lutions lastnight inflation is rampart and triumphant before the conven tion. When it met this morning the greenback advocates had bettn their work. < Reports were circulated that Wall street and the national hanks had brought up certain members of the committee, and other equally ab surd reports were started. When the platform was read a spirited debate ensued. The hard:money men, led by Souder of Allentown, fought gallantly for the platform as first adopted by the committee, but were out-toted at.every point. The result is . a great disappointment to every prominent Democrat, as it is a defeat for both Wallace and Randall, who labored unceasingly for a sound plat form, .iind while all urge the import ance of victory in the interest; of re form in Xovember, it is feared the party' has taken upon itself a heavy load. Hardly a single representa tives man of the paity will defend its financial positions.H.Ballimore Ga zette. Thus the. Democracy of Pennsyl vania go into the canvass committed to the policy of inflation and repnda, tion—rejecting the leadership of hard money men like Solider for men like that of Hukhes, who holds the theory that any piece of paper stamped by the Government and representing on its face so many dollars or cents is of as much intrinsic value as a piece of gold of the legal weight and fine ness, representing a like number of dollars and cents. It is stated that Cyrus L. Pershing, who was nomina ted fof Governor, is a hard-money man, but he will, ' of course, be ex pected to swallow the platform and "go with his party," for the policy of dishonor and contempt of all the obligations of decency and integrity. Newark Courier. For the first time. in the history of the Democratic party the Democrats of an Eastern State, in convention assembled, have declared themselves In favor of paper money against spe cie, and have recommended the infla tion of our currency. They have squarely and unanimously endorsed the theories of the Ohio inflationists, and they have done it at a 'time well' calculated to strengthen the latter.— This is a little short of a revolution against all the fundamental principles of the Democratic party, and against all the measures heretofore tidhered to by the party, under all circum stances. It is neither more nor less than an abnegation of DeMocracy by a serious number at a • most serious time.—Brooklyn Eagle. 'They will go to destructiOn on such a platform, as sure as 181'6 comes.— Wilmington Ccrmmercial. When, in the face of this, the Ohio madness is • repropnced in Pennsyl vania, it must be adMitted that the danger is more imminent than had been supposed. Should Ohio and Pennsylvania at the State elections both declare for inflation, we are afraid that it would be impossible to prevent the adoption of an inflation platform by the Democratic rational Convention.

The ltepublieata3 of'New York, faithful to justice and libeity, to the supremacy of the i constjtution, to national unity and the just rights or the States, makes the following dec laiation of principles ; • - First—The National Government Should remain In the hands of those who sustain the guarantees of the amended constitution, and in pnisnante of ptiVre at srage b iri t al h t e etn i gil l e a l i rnv trt i rl Y tert n ullin nap, generous and feybestringnatunial policy in the Soutlifun States, &firm refusal to use the military 'Ayer except for purposes clearly defined in the constitution, and a local enforcement of the tui tional authority by those only who are In sympathy with such a policy, and will bp' ally support it. Second—We d e mand honesty, economy and era cieney In every branch of the State and National administrations, prompt Investigation of all char •ges of wrong doing, and rnhilnet, capon:ire! proses cation find punishitteht Of Won Stets; ire therez fore heartily commend • the act onof all otlicers, whether of the State Or Rational gOvernments, in their honest efforts for the correction of public abuses. We pledge to theist our constant and faith ful support, and we charge every nominee of this convention to cooperate in every honorable way to secure pure government and to bring offenders to Justice. ^ • , Third—The people should nominate for the Leg islature only men who are pledged by their known charaeter to provide and sustain measures nitride ted to rescue anti preserve tjle State from every form of Orreptlon and nuilatimlnistratibtif Fourth—The guilty offenders In the management of the canals should' be brought to speedy punish ment, and the executive, Under the powers already conferred on him, should 'suspend all 'oflicers who have violated law. • Fifth—The Republican party has proved itself, from the beginning, the party of practical reform and sound economy In the affairs of this State; it has, within the past four, years, provided for the payment of twenty millions of the public debt, and practitwlly extinguished the general State indebt edness, and by this action has made. it certain that the tax for the next year will be reduced abort are millidps of dollars, I Sixth—Further Inflatio n of the currency under any pretense whatever would be a public calamity. , The interests of common industry and the com mon welfare demand the rpeediest return to specie payment. _ Seventh—The whole sohject of taxation ought to be carefully and wisely revised, to the end that_ Its burdens should beat equ ally upon all. Eighth—Recognizing s conclusive the Presi dent's public declaration that he is not a candidate for a renomination, and with the sincerest grati tude for his patriot ic services, we declare our unit terable opposition to the bleenott et tatty President for a third term. ' Ninth.-The flee , puh4 school is the lifework Of the American Republic: We therefore demand the Unqualified maintenance of the public school system and its support by equal taxation.

The disposition among Penn sylvanians to respond to the call appeats to be limited, and very little sympathy ,is eitpreksed for those parties who hate, hifinlibsted ;(I greet, a desire for public' iiotonety. , I . i It may, perhaps, be considered tee ely, in the campaign to forecast'with any el gree of certainty the result of the State elections of the present year, .and t i Presidential and Congressional elections of UM.

Well kuown as a close observe of the ebb and floW of the political tide, and as bein g 'generally correct in his conclusions, ins predictions may therefore be accepted as almost' a matter of certainty. With regard to the• political outlook, , e believe that the Senator does dot stand alone. Not only in Pennsylvania, Ilut throughout the entire country, it is d mitted by every political observer the a 1 reaction since the elections of last fall I 1 all taken place in the public mind in taco of the Republican party, its policy and i r i . les. "Our victory came a year oo princip soon," is the remark that is being daily uttered by the prominent members of the Detimeratic party who are candid.enoligh to concede the true situation. To those who will for a moment pause to retl4, the reasons ter this change o f public - timent are alnithuit. With the stern facts staring the people squarely in the face, that, by their supineness and indif ference, the reins of government was te lug allowed to pass into the hands of he Democracy; to be controlled by the rebel element of that party, the patriotism) of the country has again .become aroused. The gravity of the . situation is becoming 'fully understood as the people see that in the halls of our National Legislature and under thr folds of the ' flag that they so earnestly sought to destroy, will soon as semble some eighty old rebel officers, s ith a multitude of claims in their hands for the loss of slaves and other property by the war, which, if allowed, i'ould betSuf- ficient to bankrupt the nation ; this; to- Bother with their inflation policy 'lnd many absurd financial theories, is proving not altogether palatable, and will not I* endorsed by those who have the fi t 4are welfare and prosperity of the , cou p at heart. The peopleare beginning toriun derstand that the Republican part is now, as it always has been, the true f end of the common masses ; 'that it is the hard money party ; and as predicted, wheri the proper time arrives will not fail so shw l a due appreciotion of that understan ing. In Ohio, carefully computed estimates go, to show that the Democracy, with their inflation issues, will be repudiated by that State by at least forty thousand—a result that will go far towards placing the Pres idential contest of the centennial year al most beyond the possibility of a doubt. Ruiners with regard to the retirement of Secretary Delano from the Cabinet have been revived, and apparently not :without some reason. It is currently re ported that the Secretaryship of the lute riorDepartment, now held by Mr. Delano, was recently tendered to Ex-Sebator Sdott of Pennsylvania, who from personal reasons was compelled to decline MS ac ceptance.. In looking about for aglees soy to Mr. Delano the President co uld not have made choice of a better man,ar it is 'certainly a matter of regret th at the business interests of Mr. Scott were such as to force him to decline the position.

The efforts to induce the.govern;ent officers to release from their keepin the Treasury thief Ottman, which, his coal:m.l ' have been' claiming, was illegally seized. upon at the time of his arrest, have proved ' unavailing.
