DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET
JUDGE OF SUPREME COCTUT,
HOC GEORGE SIIARSWOOD,
PHILADELPIUA."
Death of Hon. "Ohimles Denison.
It is our painful duty to announce the
death of Hon. CI: WILES Dmusox, Mem
ber of congreis froM this District, which
oceixired,at his residence in Wilkesbairc,
on.ThOrsday morning, June 27th.
Mr.` Denison was born in Wyoming
Valley, 'in' 1818, graduated at Dickinion
College in 1839, adopted, and 'practiced
the profession of law,. was elected a rep
resentative to the Thirty-eighth Congress,
and reelected to the Thirty-ninth and For
tieth Ceingressei. Mr. Denison enjoyed
the. fullest.confidence of those with whom
be was associated, and in the social circle
was much beloved and respected for
his many genial and agreeable traits of
character. The District loses a faithful
and upright Representative, and the
House a useful and highly estetmed mem
ber :and his death will be deeply regret
ted' by hosts of warm friends throughout
the country.
He leaves a most intelligent and amia-
Me lady and a family of interesting child
ren, to whom bis decease is a sad afflic
tion.
Our Candidate.
It is fortunate for. the Demneratic par.
ty that in the coming political contest
they have the Hon. George Sharswood as
a candidate for the high office of Judge
of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.—
We do not need to tell the people who
or what he is. Though always leading a
quiet.life, devoted entirely to the higher
duties of a noble profession, he is as well
and favorably known to the people of
Pennsylvania as any man in the Common
wealth. He never sought political pre
ferment, but, with eager zeal and earnest
devotion applied all his great abilities to
practicing, administering and interpreting
the law. The library of every lawyer in
t.be.State tells the story of his great in
dustry, his sound judgment, his scholarly
acquirements, his deep research, .and his
consummate skill as an interpreter of the
His long career on the bench in
Philadelphia, and his re-election without
opposition to the position he now occu
pies, during the bitterest period of the
late reign of political proscription, furnish
el idence of how' he is appreciated by
those who know him best. We advoca
ted his nomination because we believed
Lim to be the very man needed at the
present. time. He can be safely -trusted
to deal with the great legal questions
which will be constantly coming before
onr courts for some years to come. We
congratulate the Democracy of the State
on the resalt. of Toop4 o y'o Coricentiou,
and assure them that alhthat is needed to
secure the secure the triumphant election
of Hon. George Sbarswood is a vigorous
campaign and a full, poll of our vote.—
Lanmter Laelligencer.
rerA radical paper says of Judge
Sharswood, all that coald . be said of man:
"He is a lawyer of ripe experience, an
autbOr of high , legal repute, and, undoubt
idly a Christian gentleman."
OrThe Philadelphia 13cdletin (Radi
cal) say "The nomination of Judge
SbarswOod is an exeellent One." Aye, is
it.
Judge Sharawood.
• On every side the Radical press is com
plimenting Judge Sharswoo.d, the Demo
cratic nominee far Judge of the Supreme
Court: He is 'so good , a man and so able
aJ, mlge th at they cam:int. help saying kind
things about him. The Sunday Dispatch
ef the Radical peiguasion says:
„
"No better lawyer than the Hon. Geo.
Slim wood can be found, in Pennsylvania.
As a Judge he has bad ample experience,
and„ has conducted himself in. all, things
with purity, impartiality and industry.—
His knowledge of the law is extensive.—
His long practice has cast a mind, origin
ally of .a judicial bent, into a firm and en
during mOnld, His judgment is strOng,
his perceptions acute, and his desire to dojustice in all-Cases earnest. He has as
little of the weakness of favoritism or the
fault of dislike as any man ; and in his
long career upon the betich of the District,
Court of, this city there has been nothing
to show that he ever allowed his ,private
opinions to influence leis.judgment, or to
color his views of atase. - We believe him
to be most admirably fitted for the posi
tion for which he has been nameflpbyper
sons! , integrity, deep learning, an& . the,
positegaion of tliteanuktisal ability which
compares principles with facts, and ap
plies .to circumstances the fitting legal
consequences. The citizens of Philadel
ra will he well satisfied with the nom •
'ntion of Judge Sherwood, and he wilt
have a handsome support from indepen
dent voters of all parties."
The Bucks • County Intelligeneer pays
him the following compliment:
"To • Judge Sharswood, •so far as we
know, there can be no personal or profes
sinnd objection. His reputation, gained
by long and faithful service upon the
-heneh,-is unspotted."
. Now, whenViere is so good, pure and
able a . man nominated for Judge of the
Supreme Court, on which all parties are
agreed, what is the necessity of having a
contest at the polls? He ought to be
elected by acclamation.
The Radical State Platform.
The Resolutions adopted by the Radi
cal State Convention at Williamsport,
form the platfoim on which they hope to
fight successfully the political battle of
1867 in this State. It is then important
that the people should understand' both
what, they declared, and what they omit
ted in their enunciation of doctrines. The
first resolution justifies and endorses the
administration of Mr. Lincoln. If the see
and resolution means anything, it pro
notices in favor of_shutting the doors of
otir civil tribunals; against all whom the
" loyal" men of nation may ostracise
as " the country's enemies," and thus
turn our government' into a despotism
more law-defying than that of Russia or
Austria.
The courts 'attic, land are intended as
sanctuaries into which all citizens may re
treat from the storm of popular frenzy or
private prejudice and hatred, and the Rad
ical Convention, by the adoption of a res
olution denying that principle, have corn-
Mitled that party to an ided which will
not be endorsed by the freemen of the old
Keystone State. All men are-innocent in
the eyes of the law until they are proved
guilty, and the courts of law cannot act
upon -the platform as promulgated from
Williamsport vithout uprooting that, old
maxim ofjustide and common sense.
The Convention also endorsed In nu un
reserved manner the reconstruction meas
ures of the thirty-ninth and fortieth Con
gress. The masses know what those
measures are, and what they have done
toward restoring the States to their old
places in the Union.
'The military reconstruction act found
ten States striving to perfect their civil
organization with a view of obtaining a
place in the Union and representation in
Congress. By the provisions of that bill
the political status of those States was
destroyed, the territory divided into mil
itary districts or divisions, and all idea of
representation repudiated in the most
plain and emphatic manner.
This is what the thirty-ninth and forti
eth Congress have done toward a recon
struction of the Union, and this is what
the Radical Convention, in the name of
the Radical party of the State, endorsed,
as the best means of restoring the States
to their share in the government of the
Union.
A resolution -was also adopted asking
that "The Supreme Court ofthe State be
placed in harmony with the political opin
ions of the-majority of the people."
This is a dangerous attack upon the
well-established principles on which the
judiciary system of this State and nation
rests. If men are to be placed on the
bench on. account of their devotion to a
party, and asked to square their opinions
with those held and, enunciated by a po
litical n\ajority, then the laws might as
well be interpreted and constructed by
State conventions or ward meetings, and
be security of life and property will de
pend upon the shifting views of partisan
organizations. This would be a fatal ex
periment, and yet is recomended and en
dorsed by the State Convention of the Rad
ical party. Thus much was done by the
Williamsport convention of " loyalists."
Now for, the omission of-that body.—
Why did they not declare in favor of their
pet scheme, negro sufferage 2 Mr. New
lin, of this city, offered a resolution in fa
vour. of "impartial suffrage," but it was
buried by a reference to the Committee
on Resolutions, and none of all the
'men who clamor so loud for the political
rights of the negroes attempted its resur
rection. This omission, after all has been
said. by the Radical party in favor of " im
partial suffrage," stamps their organiza
tion as a cheat and a fraud,and nn worthy
of the Con fidence or support of the people
of thus State.
•
It may be pertinent to-ask, while speak
ing of%missions, why did not the Radical
Convention condemn the action of the late
corrupt and profligate Legislature, and
urge the people to elect honest men at the
coming election ? The Legislature of 1867
was notoriously corrupt. It has been de
nounced even by leading jonrnals of the
Radical party, and yet the State Conven
tion ignored the whole matter. '1 hat body
was in the hands of trading politicans, and
they shielded both themselves and their
friends. In marked contrast to this, the
Democratic Convention declared in favor
of " a rigid and wise economy in the ad
ministration of public affairs, and the elec
tion of capable, honest and patriotic men
to office," and denounce the late Legisla•,
lure for, the number of its unwise and un
constitutional enactments. In this manner
the Democratie party met the pressing
demands'of the times, while the Radicals,
by want of action virtually endorsed the
of the last Legislature. The citizens
of Pennsylvania can judge the dependence
to he placed on t4e Radical party by what
has been done, and what omitted, by the
Williamsport Convention.---Age

4 Declaration of Independence,
On our. first page, we print the ancient
document, signed by one Jowl Hiticocs
and his associate "members,of the Conti-
nenttd Congress; and commonly known as
the Declaration of Independence, in which
they "publish and declare that these
United Colonies are, and of right ought
to be, MEE and IND}WENDENT States;" as
signing in justification of their course a
long list ofgrievances which the Colonies,
had suffered and were suffering at the
bands of Great Britiin, among which
were—that he bad dissolved the local Leg
islatures for opposing his invasions of the
rights of the people, (a la Sheridan,Ord,
Pope and Dan . Sickles ); that he ha erect
ed a multitude of , tiew offices, and , sent
swarms of officers.to harass the people
and eat out their substance, (as is now be
ing done North, under the tax laws, and
worse still, South, under the Freedman's
Bureau and Reconstruction Acts of the
Radical Rump Congress) ; that standing
armies were quartered among the people
in time of peace and, the military rendered
independent of the civil power,(as is now
done in ten of the States of he Union) ;
that be imposed taxes upon the people
without their consent, and without grant
ing them the corresponding penefit of rep
resentation, (which grievance our South
ern States are now suffering at the hands
of King Radical ) ; that the-benefit of try
al by jury was denied them, (as it has lout'
been denied under the reign of the pres
ent party in power) ; that he had taken
away their charters, (a la the sweeping
destruction of State Constitution by Cm
gressional enactments); abolishing their
most valuable laws, and altering, funds
mentall, the forms of their governments.
This trite old document was proinu!ga
ted to the world on the Fourth of July
.1776, and to its support was pledged the
lives, the tontines and sacred honor of its
signers. The grave offences charged
against the King of Great Britain in that
Declaration are many of them literally true
against the present hadical Congress,and
the Military Despotisms establigied, by it.
over the Southern States. The Ninety
first Anniversary of the great event of
which we write will 'occur on the ap
proaching Fourth of July; and it would
be well if the occasion should be improv
ed by the men of 1867 in pledging their
lives, their fortunes and their sacred hon
or, to re-establish the Government upon
the sacred principles of 1776, and restor
ing the Constitution which united th.e
States togethar in a common bond of
brotherhood, and guaranteed to every cit
izen his unalienable rights of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.— Owego Ga

Notes of Broken National Banks.
GENERAL SPINNER, United States
Treasurer, statea,in reply to a letter of in
quiry, that, when a national bank fails, all
its relations are changed, and as a bank it
boo nOthins Moro to du i Lis ifs notoci. A
a legal indorser, the 'United States. under
takes to redeem the notes when present
ed at the office for payment, and this ob
ligation is conclusive. whether the securi
ties lodged with the Treasurer are suffici
ent or not ; "and," he continues, "I, in
effect, become not only the cashier of such
defaulting national bank, but become - the
trustee of All its creditors, and am com
pelled to see that the interest of its cred
itors and of the government are fully pro
tected. Such notes are in the same rela
tion to the public as notes issued by the
United States, and will be subject to the
same rules in their redemption."
A Lot of Loyal Thioves Caught.
The Chief Of Police - at Harrisburg has
arrested some eight or ten messengers
and other drones abbut the several Gov
ernment Departments, at Harrieburg,
who are charged with earring ()fiat dif
ferent times, several tons of books, docu
ments, reports and Legislative Records,
and selling them for waste paper to a
junk shop-keeper in that, city. The whole
party, after a hearing, were bound over
to answer the charge at . Court. On ex
amination it appeared that this thieving
business had been going on ever since the
Radical party came into power.
What an honest set of people these
" patriotic" " loyal" fellows are ! In this'
instance it appears that one of the paity
took more than he could carry, as the
night watchman at the Capitol swore that
he saw one of them, named Cooper, haul
ing plunder away wish a band-cart.
Trial of Surratt,
The trial of Surratt is now in progress
before ths Court of the District of Colum
bia, Washington City,but we do not think
interest enough attaches to it to publish
the testimony. The point the prosecu
tion are trying to establish is that he was
in Washington on the day of the assassin
ation, and was therefore aiding and abet
ting it. The defence will endeavor to
prove that he was on his way to Canada
on that day. The trial will last several
days yet.
The Carlisle Volunteer quoting the se
count of the late sale of Airs. Lincoln's fur
niture at Chicago remarks:
It is a fact on record, that more money
was expended to furnish the White House
during the four years that the "late la
mented" and his family occupied it, than
had been expended during the occupancy
by Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, TOO,
Taylor, Fillmore and Buchanan combmed.
And yet when President Johnson took
possession of it, it had to be refurnished
again from top to bottom, as everything
had been cared off.

The Company is also permitted to inane its own first
J/ortguge bonds to an nqaal anionnr, and at the saws
time, which by spacial net of Congress are made 3 dot
mortgage on the entire line, the bonds of the roiled
Staten being subordinate to them.
The govnrnment makes a donation of 12.800 acren of

Prosprets for Rosiness:
The railroad connection bettrecaOmuhd and the east
is now complete: nod the earning of the Union NOB&
on the sections ni , eody finished for the. first two weeks
in May were $1.13.000. Three eectlonal earnings as the

on the Company's bonds, and the through business OW
the only line of failroad between tba Mauna ia24

statement of facts fully demonstrates the PeCnrisy of
their ponds, and as additional proof they would onTZept
qua the Bonde now offered are lets than ten million
dollars on 517 miles of road, on which over twenty mill•
ion dollars havre already been expended MN miles
of thle.road the cars are now running., and the remain
ing 181 miles aro nearly completed.
At the present rate of premium on gold those bonds
pay annual interest on the ,present cast of

like the Government Bonds, they will go above par.
The compary intend to sell but alit:Wed amount at the
present low rate and retain the right to whence the
price at their option.
