of the Constitution of Pennsylvania if tbe
following provision for the establishment
of a sinking fund : "Sec IV. To pro

And unless in case of

The Government of Prussia.
The form of government of Prussia
proper is now a constitutional monarchy,
hereditary in tlie male line of the house
of Hohenzollern. ' The constitution,
which is derived from grant by
King Frederick William' IV., brother of
the present sovereign, modified by sub
sequent grants, has only been in existence
since ISIS, and vests the executive and
part of the legislative authority in the
king. n the executive branch he is as
sisted by a council of ministers appointed
by himself. The legislative bodies con
sist of the "Ilerrenhaus," which is the
Upper Chamber, and i composed of the
princes of the royal family ; sixteen
"mediatized" friends ; the heads of the
territorial nobility ; eight life-peers, eight
titled noblemen, elected by the resident
la'nd-nwners in the eight provinces ; rep.
resentatives of the universities ; the heads
of "chapters;" the mayors of towns
having more than 50,000 inhabitants,
and persons nominated at the pleasure of
the king. The second chamber is com
posed of 432 members, chosen for three
years, by general, but not universal suf

"Ol'XTV AUDITOR,
Ci. S. MKTTKHMX'J. of Monroe.
The War in France.
! Generally speaking, the French Ee
! public, or rather provisional government.
' has been favorably received by the
French people. One of the first acts of
Jules Favre, the chief of the ministry,
was to ask the Government of the United
States to recognize the new Republic.
There being no other organization in the
Crawford and IVtrikcn.
At tlie Democratic Conference, which
met some time ago at Lewietowit und
nominated lr. I'. M. Crawford aud li.
Uruce IVtrikrii. Esq . for State Senate, a
series of resolutions were offered. Among j country, our Government conld not with
them we find that one the third roads J hold a recognition. Minister Washburn
as follows: "3rd. That we denounce all was accordingly instructed by dispatch
schemes by which the securities now in ; to recognize the Republic. The an
the sinking fund are to Le diverted to any j nouncement that the new government
other use, loaned to any corporation, o.-: had been favorably leceived at Washing
exchanged for the obligation of any ton was hailed with the liveliest mani
otber corporal ions, or in any other mau- ' festations of delight. This is the first
tier tampered with, as a violation of the
spirit of the constitutional provisions
above recited, a breach of public f.iith,
and part and parcel of a scheme of gigan
tic corruption aud public robbery.''
This resolution, with a!I the accom
panying ones, were rejected by the Con
ference in such a manner that the candi
dates which the . Conference nominated
have been styled in different parts of the
State the "nine aud a half million candi
dates of the 2 1st Senatorial District."
The indignation against the course of the
Conference in " lilair and Centre and
other counties is overwhelming." So says
a Democratic paper.
"Candidates who refuse to stand by
the Constitution, refuse to say that the
sinking fund shall not be violated that
the public securities shall not be tamper
ed with are a disgrace aud di.-honor to
the Democratic party.''
Such language we bear on the streets,
aud read iu Democratic papers. It is
stronger than any language that we have
heard Republicans use agaiust the Dem
ocratic candidates, and we make use of it
here simply to show how Crawford and
Petriken stand in their own party. Yet
these men, occupying the unenviable posi
tion that they do in their own party,
have the audacity to say that a number
of the Republican party will vote for
them. They are electioneering with this
argument. They used it at Lewistown,
at their nominating conference, and they
are using it every day throughout the
district. We do not kuow where to find
the Republicans that they count on. We
do not know where to find the men they
claim. We believe better than what they
say of the Republican party. To pur
sue such a course can ouly lead to politi
cal ruin. It would be political suicide.
Dr. Crawford has always been a Demo
crat, and will in all probability remain
one. There is no probability of Mr.
Petriken changing his politics, and if
they cannot get the full support of their
own party, what mad folly it would be
to send them aid from the Republican
party. The district is close ; the eyes of
the Republicans of the State are cen
tered on it. The attention of the Ad
ministration at Washington is also earn-
recognition that has been extended to the
new republic. It is, however, reported
that Italy and Switzerland have also
recognized the new government. The
French ministry is most energetically en
gaged in preparing Paris to withstand
the siege which it appears it is doomed
to undergo. The Prussian army, 500,
000 strong, it is reported is now taking
its position around the city. Bazaiue
continues to hold Metz. Strasburg yet
stubbornly holds out against the Prussians.

Moxtpelier, Sept. 9. The election
for State and county officers, and mem
bers of Congress and the Legislature for
the next two years, took place in this
State to day. The Republican State
ticket was headed by J. W. Stewart, of
Mid'llebury, and the Democratic ticket
by Homer W. Ileaton, of .Montpelier. A
small vote was cast, though heavier than
last year. The result is the election of
the entire Republican State and Congres
sional ticket. The Senate will be nearly
unanimously Republican, and the House
will probably stand about 200 Republi
cans to 30 Democrats. Returns from

Madrid, Sept. 9. A great manifesta

public was made here yesterday. Twen
ty thousand citizens marched through
the streets with banners inscribed with
mottoes flattering to France, and a band
playing the "Marseillaise."
No disorder marred the proceedings.
After the procession was over a mass
meeting was held. Senor Castelar deliv
ered an address. He said . "The con
science of humanity breathes again, wit

you may aid her with arms."
This was received with euthusiastic approval.

been issued by Jules favre, whicn con
tains the following points :
The policy of France ia peace, leaving
Germany master of her own destinies.
The King of Prussia had said that he
made war against the dynasty, and not
agaiust France, yet the dynasty is gone
and France is free. Yet is this impious
war continued. . Wjll the King face thin
responsibility before the world and before
history 1 France yielit not one foot of

less peace means extermination of our
cause and that of Europe. We are uu
dismayed. The army is resolute aud
provided.
Three hundred thousands combatants
can hold Paris to the last. They can
hold the city for three months and con
quer. If crushed, France will arise and
and avenge it. LH Europe know that
the. Minis! re have no other aim or ambi
tion than peace. But war proving in
evitable, we will continue the struggle,
confident of triumph.

The English government in conjunc
tion with other neutral powers, is about

sition : French territory to be inviolate.

LIC OP FRANCS.
Paris, Sept. 8 The official journal of
the Republic to-day printed a letter from
Mr. Washburne, tlie American minister,
declaring himself authorized to recognize
the French Republic, and ' offer the con
gratulations of the American Government
and the people who have learned with en
thusiasm of the proclamation of the Re
public. Late yesterday afternoon Minister
Washburn had an interview with Jules
Favre. at which he announced that the
American Government had recognized the
sister Republic of France. M . Favre was
much moved, and, grasping Mr. Wash
burn by the hand, he exclaimed, ''I re
ceive the notification with gratitude and
profound emotion."
Ihe letter of Mr. Washburne to Jules
Favre gives great satisfaction, and the
people seem to be persuaded that the
American Government will interfere in
favor of peace.
The following proclamation appears in
extras and is placarded about the city.
The country is in danger. In the pre
sence of the enemy all differences of opin
ion and all opposition should disappear
before the general safety. Accursed be
he who can retain personal designs or
prejudices in snch a supreme moment.
The undersigned set aside all opinions
save one that it is our duty to offer our
most energetic and absolute assistance,
and to make no conditions save that the
Republic be maintained. Let us be bu
ried in the ruins of Paris rather than agree
to the dismemberment of France. Signed
by Hianqui, De Cambre, and others.
The Minister of the Interior has is
sued the following circular to prefects of
departments :
"The enemy is advancing on Paris in
three corps d'annee, one of which his ar

of this corps has summoned Laon, which

we falter and bring political shame upon
ourselves and party ! In the support of
Crawford we have much to lose aud noth
ing to gain. In the language of a trust
ed and honored Republican of this State,
whose reputation is not limited by the
State of Pennsylvania, Crawford and
Petriken constitute " a pair of those half
fledged Republicans to be found just now
everywhere in the Democratic party,
who are liberal enough to attract our
sympathies, and sometimes onr votes ;
but who, when they secure official posi
tions, are the bitterest and most unyield

standing in their own .party is so preca

maintain it."
