THE CONVENTION.
Although somewhat protracted, the
Convention which assembled on
Tuesday Rasa imnarkably pleasant
assemblage, The friends.of the sev
eral candidates were earnest, but
good-natured, and the best of feeling
wps maintained' throtighout. Of
course ' the defeated candidates do
not feel quite as cheerful' as their 'suc
cessful cordpetitors,:lmt we believe
all are determined to'' work' for the
ticket and success.
, BEWARE.
The Democratic and Greenback
leaders are already endeavoring to
poison the minds of defeated Repub.
I lican Candidates. It is conceded on
all handi tint the caucuses and con
vention were conducted with more
titan ordinary fairness, and the ticket
niminated is certainly unobjectiona
ble to sincere Republicans,and should .
twelve the united and vigorous sup-
port of all, and especially of 09 gen
tlemed who submitted their cluinces
tol.. the convention.. IThe• sympathy
expressed is hypocritical and only de
- signed to create dissensions in our
party. No good - Republican_ will be
deceived by them. • _
VOL. OVERTON
While the Republican convention
had almost innumerable candidates
before it for most of the pOSitionS to
be filled; for Congress there was -no
opposition, and Col.o VERTON, Jr.,Was
renominated by acclamation. if
the- action of the , convention is en
dorsed by the Conference, as we
doubt not it will be, all doubt as to
sending a - .Republican to Congress
from the 15th•district will be remov .

DEAD ISSUES.
There exists a small class of noin
inalitepublicians, composed of men
possessed : of considerable learning
and not a little literary ability, who
are continually finding fault with the
masses of the Republican party for
continuing to fight what they are
pleased to term dead issues. ; These
- men say very often, and with im
.
rams° energy, "0, why wave the
bloody shirt any longer ?. The war
is over ; the rebels

I
their aims, and.. the'uew times have
brought new questions, new strug
gles, and new duties, and to these let
us devote : our.attention.” Such' is
the-tirift of the Criticism of papers•
like the Philadelphia Times, Spring
field Republican, and others of the
same lidney, with_ editors claiming
to be ;Republican, but iibiing their

affeCtion for the partrb . denounc
ing its leaderiond bolting its nomi
nations whenever mischte ca n be
thereby accomplished.
\
° The objection to deadl issues 1
specious air, but is utterly unso
and deceptive. The issues involv t
are not dead, and thernever can di
while a-great, strong, and aggressive
party like the Democratic party lii-es'
and thrives upon the wicked princi 7
pies which were at the bottom of the
iniquity that culminated in the rebel
lion: The issues which are really vi
tal "to-day are whether the rights:of
all the people shall be respected in
all parts of the land ; whether the.
amended Constitution _shall bp ad
ministered by the friends of the
amendments or'-by their enemies;
whether the party which. saved- the
nation shalrbe obliged to take seats
back of the party which fought to
destroy the nation, and whether the
principles that sustained the war shall
stand or give -way to those which
made the- war a necessity.
In stating the above as the iital .
issues it is hot forgotten thal.; there'
are, questions I affecting currency, la
bor, transportation, and, public ink;
proverhents of great moment Lbut as
the Republican party is much more
sound on all these, even in the view
of the critics, than is the Democratic
party, they one and all areTmore com
pletely dead as party queitions than
the others which are complained of
as being no longer living.
The Republican party gave the
country the greenback and the Dem

party denounced and fought
it. - . -.

The Republican party never pre
tended that gold was the only consti
tutional currency, but the Democrat
ic party always so contended.
The Republican party sustained
the constitutionality of the legal-ten

denied : it.
The Republican party never held
that internal improvement were un
constitutional, blit the Democrats al
ways so held.

rebellion.
The vital issues between the two
parties 'Cate, therefore, to, the gen
eral ideas underlying the constitu
tions of the parties. These ideas
are very marked in their general
scope and significance, and no one
need mistake them.
The filibustering, uneasy, turbu,
lent, unmanageable, and 'Capricious
elements in the country are found by
a large majority gravitating toward
the Democratic party. It was the.
predominance of spirits of this class
that made the rebellion possible. It
was a Democratic rebellion, and the
culmination of a long series of causes
that wee backed up by pistol, bowie
knife, and cat-o'-nine-tail Methods
and customs, human slavery and de
gredation
being: the chief corner- ,
stones. For measures favoring edu- '
cation, order,; public ;improvement,
elevation of the laborer and the pro
tection .of qhe ruts of the lowestl
arid meanest laboring man, all look
to , the Republican party; for it was.
under the banner of that party 'that
the shackles of oppessionwere strick
en from the limbs of a whole race,
and the principles of equality were
applied to the lowly, without distinc- ,
tion of race, color, or other 'merely
factious cfrc4mstance oc condition.
The facts are taetti . of record and
not to be disputed. In the past the ele
ments of the Democratic party caved
it to
_gravitate to war, disunion, and
anarchy. The end sought was wrong;
the means were voilence. The antag

There has been no new association of
ideas by which the relatiim of things
has been cbanged. The Deinocrat§

to clean clothes and godly ways, and
notwithstanding their pretensious,

tions wdrppointed,consisting.of the
following delegates : E. W. • HALE,
LEROY COLEMAN, 4. J. SILVARA, J..
B. REEVE any ADAM INNES.
The committee retired, and after
consultation reported the following,
which were adopted :
Rowlred, That we re-affirm our devo
tion to the principles of the, Republican
party, and our belief that the continued
existence of that party is necessary to the
maintenance and success of those princi
ples. • And we cordially endorse the nom
inees of the Republican State Convention
of
Resolved, That we are now more than
ever called to sustain the policy of nation
al protection to American industry. The
laborer is worthy of his hire, and we must
continue to throw the protecting arm of
Government control around those who
toil for their daily bread. _
lle.A9lveti, That one of the greatest evils
which cat afflict the Nation, is an irre
deemable paper currency. Honesty,
which is always the best policy, demands
that this Government should persevere
steadily in its efforts to place the credit
of the Nation upon a secure basis, so that
we may fund the National debt at less
rates of interest than we now pay, so long
as repudiation, partial or total, open or
covert, is threatened or suspected.
Resolved, That the agricultural, mining, .
lumbering and manufacturing interests
of the State require protectibu from the
eftbrts of dangerous combinations, and
that such laws should be enacted by the
General Assembly of the Commonwealth,
as will promote said interests, both in
their development, and•the Pansportation
of their products to market:
Resblred, :That.the course of bar Rep
resentative in Congress meets onr appro
val, and we cordially recommend him to
the District Conferees for re-nomination.
Resolved; That our Senator and Mem
bers Of the timise of Representatives de
serve tl e,commendation of all citizens for
their introduction of the bill to reduce the
fees of County officers, and for their per
sistent effu t ttts in its favor, until its final
passage.
On motion a committee of five on
contested seats was appoipointed to

. In my in Tort of this resolution I dem

all the principles urged lin the article in"
the Bradford Republican of the 16th inst.,
which article declared that I negatived by
my vote against the bill on this subject .
before the Legislature at its last.sesSion;

many interests in competing lines of trans

The act, as it was amended in commit
, tee of the whole and before I voted against
it, was sojadically changed andamentled
that its usefulness was entirely destroyed
-to almost every interest in Pennsylvania,
'except, possibly the oil interest, confined
to only five counties in the Commoti,
wealth, and could have been no possible
advantage to the people of Bradford.
county. . . .
The allegation 'that the- friends of the
measme wete battled by unparlia'mentory
acts or decisions q thine as speaker, * I
stigmatiz&rind brand as bate and p:li
cioug falsehoods.;. but; on the contrarn 1
assert as it feet that the only ruling I made
daring the whole contest on this bill about
which there was any question of its being
strictly parliamentary Was made iu favor
of. the friends of this measure, and that
wart ishen I cub:it:lined the motion to re
connitit the bill, and I maintain that the
reference of-this bill to the Railroad Com

, clearly proves.
I As none of the provisions of this' bill

of .the people of this county, Lpropose to
state some of their that, determined my
action on this question, 'ln the first place,
the oill exempting all railroad and trans

nailesin length from the isperation of this

,section was added ' the
follimiog amendment - S . : "That, the pro
visions ilf this bill shall not apply to. the
shipment, loading or unloading of coal or
iron-destined outside Of the limits of this
Commonwealth." The second amend
ment provides "That nothing iu this a.'t

transportation of the agricultural, miner- .

quantities exceeding a 'single car load, at

As to my present position. on the usury
qUestion, I have to- say freely that I did
not suppose its correctness wuuld be ques
tioned by any one who pretends to be an
advocate of reform in our usury laws, and
whatever may have been my position on
this question heretofore, I have now an
abiding faith that I am right and will be
justified not only by the very instinets of
men, but by the sound good sense of all
disinterested people, and with such I am,
willing to leavelt •
I well .unt.ei stand, , as', the. people 'W ill,
that while my -action' on the ant i-discrimi
nation bill is to be made.-the pretext for
my defeat, if it shall come, the real
rea
son is my . support of. the just and humane
usury 1a regulating the rate of interest,
and the people , will so understand" it.
Fools . never change, bpt reasonable min
of sense will , when eiperience and obser
vation teaches them their error.
Many men have changed/.heir opinions
upon questions of public policy. Daniel
Webster changed from a free-trade man
14a tariff man • John . C: Calhoun froth a
tariff to a-free.erade man. David Wilmot
and Galusha 4. Grow, two men that the
people of this countyhave honored-with
their confideoce 'and their.votes -for many.
years, changed from pro-slavery, free
trade mento violent anti-slavery awl tariff
men. I might mention many othbr" hon
ored name', but tirim and: space will not
permit. Time ; and experience taught
these men the errors of their early man
hood, and they have bad the courage to
change.them when convinced that-they
were wrong.' I haVe done no more.,
