We have thought it natural, and perhaps un avoidable, that the potentates of the old o orld 'Should sit their thrones in fear and, trembling. Attempts upon the liven of-Europeani monarchs have been reiarded by the ! American peo'- ple as - the necessary . outcome of hercditary - rule and arbitrary laws. Neither press nor people have re; gargled such violence in Europe ex actly,in its true light. When assas sination has been . attempted it has_ been customary to warn the rulers' that they Were reaping the fruits of a long course of tyranny, and some have expected that the assassin would, in time, vacate' every throne in the civilized worK But this is a free country, with • system of. government which cannot Become the agent of tyranny unless the people decree it. We have not yet beet one hundred years a nation: Our nationality date's from the adop tion of tho Constitution and 'the erection of tieorge WaiThingtun Pres ided. Within that tithe Presi dent has fallen by the hand of the assassin, and attempts I have been made upon the livei of two others. And our fortunes have been east in an exceptionally favorable period of human history. We have not cone up to our present prowl preeminence in_ the natural way. We had not to : wrestle with barbarism within. Compared with nations of the east we have no history. Our ancestors brought civilization and many of its triumphs: with them. We entered upon an improved estate in,the very beginning of national existence. Yet within our first century the'land of the 'assassin has been ditected;agabist authority three several times. This has hardly k been exceeded in the most despotic country within • the same period. • From -this we are to learn, if not too proud to fearn, that crime has no especial habit.. It is like a pesti lence ; whereVer the conditions serve crime has its lurking-places. And though it has been customary to refir such crimes •.c. the oppressions 01 the many by the few, we itre unable tc. make such reference when the 05i134- sin plies his dre ul -business here. These alpaca are. all - •:eo to in the name of liberty and the file. But we know that in fact neither liberty not neivilized - people require the services of assassins. We may learn from history that desdly as saults upon the. representaVvis of authority have never widened the area of liberty or struck a chain from the limbs of .:any people. Orie dins- sination of which ,much- account has been made—that of .'9'LIi.TSVISAR-* fuinishes the history of all. - exsAn was nobler than the age in which he lived. .He came' into power when national morals were at the lowest ebb. •He had • granit-conceptionsi.of what Rome 3110411(111Q:but having'no colleagues of equal nobility and greatness he was compelled to set up as an • aatocrat or sink intO.the mire in which_ Mime wallowed: la trying to. raise Rome from its abjete prostration he offended against the demagoguery of his time. , And his death wa4 a natural and logical se quence oT his sublime effort:" -What 7 ever, niayJlave •been, the hardships entailed "uPon .a -people sunk In effenr; inacy and vice by his vigorous 'ad ministration, ive . -11ave only to study the fortune's of Mime ,from the hour C.EsAn was murdered to know that they declined from that hour until the nation passed out of histOry into oblivion.' " - ...- But we have canonizlA,;llitcrus all the same., The world took a uar row and-superficial view of the - work of C 5.5.5.4. It took a dangerous view of the act of BituTus. lii so 'much. as it has taught, that it is'eveiright‘ to reform 'governments by assassina tion • upon that teaching rests the responsibility for all the assassina tions, or attempts:_ to assassinate rulers, from that day to this.' - There is no room for assassins in history.. One and 01 they are outlaws' who- - use the sacred name of liberty' and people to excuse • their dep'avity. And, they are all cowards'. Liberty_ owes, and can owe 'nothing to cow ardice. It is the offsprinof courage, of patience, of unwaverThg faith in God and love to man. • THE STATE TIL EAST It EltSlo'. We arc glad_ to of ffierve that the candidacy of our townsman, Hon. W T. ID.tvlts, for the. 'nothination or-State Treasurer, is v'er'y fav:orab received and generally cw.lorsed 'by the Press throughout the,iState; and that, his prospectsfOr receiving the nomination - are 'bec-oming brighter every day. A - careful and well posted Philadelphia correspondent of the New , York: • writing under date of July 12th, thus speaks Of Mr. -D - AVIES' prospects for the nominationi=if nominated there isn't the shadoW of a doubt, as to his election : • The State Convention, postponed to a date so late 7 llthugh quite-early enough-- that there will be but a brielcauvas.s of fin days, will meet at. Ilarrizdnag • All Thurs-- day, the •Sth of September. Its4nily bas-1 iness, besides. adopting a platform; will be to nominate a candidate for State Treacc nrer. Under the Constitution, no person is eligible as Treasurer for two consecutive terms ' and tlie,_present incumbent, the Hon. Samuel Butler, of Chester . county, who was-elected in 1879_ by a majority approaching 00,000, and who has made an excellent officer, is, therefore, barred out. Several candidates- are prominently named, however, StatcbSenator George V. Lawrence, of WaAington county, being among those first 'spoken of. • A .more probable selection, however,: now appears to be the lion. W. T. DavieS,*.of Bradford 'county, who also is a member of the State Senate, being elected in November last for a second term of four years. Mr. Da vies, like Senator Lawrence, stood out of the-caucus last winter; with, the other In dependents; his section ,of the Sate being ardently_ devoted to Mr. GroW, 'and he adhered to the-movement to the end, be-1 ing greatly. gratified with the - final selec tion of Mr. 'Mitchell. Notwithstanding this action, however,,Mr. Davies was,. up to last January, a close.' friend of Senator Cameron and Mr. Quay,and 'they would probably not be unwilling . now to giVe hint 'a cordial support. No other person seems to -be so seriously' proposed as -a candidate. It is likely, too, that his as sociates in the 'anti ;Oliver . movement would-stand by him very cheerfully. The , : most prominent of ,them in the Senate were-John- Stewart, of Franklin county, Dr. Joseph Thomas, of Bucks,- C. S. Kauffman, of Lancaster, and J. W. Lee, of Venango.' Messrs. 'Stewart and Lee may be set down as two of the men cit.- thin to be in the front - Of any movement for-a change,in the leadership and organi zation of the Republican Farty of the State. • • TifF.T.aston Fre: Press is of the opinion —and we think the opinion eorre - ct-4that "while GUJTEac ought tO have thejull benefit of the law relating to lunatics, the laW ought to provide that any person kills another , -by plan and. deliberation shall be hanged, no matter whether the - . murderer's nneesteLS have all been ci.`aiy or whether - the; murderer himself is gener ally crazy.

The rule ought to be to make a terrible exam- I pie of every Than who takes life, and to. this ride - there should be no exception but ,- , in cases of, absolute idiocy and frenzy at 1 - the moment the act is committed— Apart from idiot-y and -momentary frenzy; irre sistible impulse. to commit murder is a great big joke on criminal jurisprudence. .n irresistible 'ititpalse .lasting for More than thirty seconds, ought not to save a murderer fromeapitiil punishment, These remarks have no relation to killing in self- defence or justifiable homicide." - .
