Hknry A. I'arbonb, Jr., . Editor. THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1871. - KTOLICAX STATS TICKET. Auditor General: DAVID 8TANTON, of Better Co. Surveyor General: HORERT B. BEATII, of Schuylkill. Ths Bepulllcan State Conrsntlon and Iti Nominees gay the Slate Journal, speaking of the Republican convention and its nominees: It was an exceedingly har monious and energetic body of men, who transacted their business with tho firmness and alacrity of people knowing exactly what they were doing, and why they did it. Everything connected with the convention argues a campaign cf vigor and a victory which will be a credit to the Republican party. The nominee for Auditor General, Dr. Stanton, ot Beaver county, is a gentleman of fine charaoter, fully quali fied for the important duties devolved upon him. He served as a surgeon in the army during the war to crush rebel lion, and made a reputation such as will win him friends as a candidate for po litical honors in all parts of the State. Col. Robert B. Beath, the candidate foi Surveyor General,- was a good soldier during the war, fighting gallantly for lis country in the hour of its danger, and now deserving all the honor there is in the position to which he will be elected. Every plank in the platform erected is of sound timber, capable of any test which our opponents may apply to tt, and broad enough to accommodate every man who is a Republican from princi ple. It is the doctrine of the Republi can party to do what is right for all men and all interests. By that we have tri uraphed heretofore, and by jt we will be victorious as long as we aro faithful to its noble teaching. Aside from tho merits of our candi dates, and they are well established, we go into the campaign animated and con trolled by the absorbing truth that it is necessary for the Republican party to euccced, because such success is essen tial to the well-being and the perpetuity of the Republic. There can bo no cood government in this country unless itJVvwJvil. ludu no nts SS u ' ib'iutu and a natiou wo owe to Republican policy. Had the Demucratio party teen continued in power in 18G0, we would have ceased to exist as a united nation in 1870. These are the priori pics on which we go into the contest, and on the single issues that the peo ple cannot do without the Government administered by the Republican party we will win another grett victory in October. TEB BEPTCUCAIT STATS CONVSXTIOH. Harrisbure, May 17th. 1871. The Republican State Convention assembled in the IIouso of Representa tives at 1- o clock, to nominate candi dates for Auditor General and Surveyor liencral ot rennsvlvauia.

Nominations for Auditor General were received as follows: Mr. Wm. R. Leeds, of Philadelphia, nominated (Jol. David btanton, of Lieay. er county. Mr. John Rowc. of Franklin, nomi nated Frank C.

The nonioation of Col. David Stan ton, of Beaver county, was then made unanimous, amid great applause. The cooveation the proceeded . to same candidates for Surveyor Geaeral. General Wagner, of Philadelphia, nominated Col. Robt B. Heath, of Schuylkill county, a eae-legged soldier. Mr. King, of Philadelphia, nominated Samuel L. Smedley, ot Philadelphia. The name of Gen. Wm. P. Wilson, of Centre, was also presented, and sub sequently withdrawn. Mr. Elliott, of Bedford, nominated Gen. Jaoob M. Campbell, bat subse quently withdrew his name, reading a letter from Gen. Campbell deolioing a third nomination for this office. The result of the ballot was Beath, 87; Smedley, 40. The nomination of Col. Beath was then made unanimous with applause. THE PLATFORM. Mr. Errett, from the Committeo on resolutions, made the following report: The Republicans of Pennsylvania, 1. They demand of the Legislature assembled in convention, doolare that the immediate passage of an act calling a State Convention to revise and amend the Constitution for the purpose, among other things of Abolishing and prohibiting special legislation; Securing the election of all otate oDioers by the people; Kstablishing a judicial system that will make justioe prompt and sure; And providing lor the passage oi general laws that shall so encourage in dustrial enterprise, that Pennsylvania shall be enabled to take her just plaoe jo the front rank of all the States. 2. They demand of Congress that the credit of the nation shall be faithfully- maintained; home industry en couraged and protected; an adequate civil servioe system established for reg ulating appointments to office; taxes re duced to the lowest possible limit con sistent with the steady, but not too rapid, extinction of the national debt; the honor of the republic sustained at home and abroad; the rights of every man protected in all the. States, and every man entitled thereto secured in the polling of one vote, and no more, at each election. 3. ,Thcy declare their unalterable at tachment to the principle of protection to home industry, in the levying of tariff duties, in accordance with the wise policy which has existed from the foun dation ot the Government to this time. 4. They commend the policy ot re trenchment and wholesome enforcement of the laws, which has prevailed since the election ot General Grant to the Presidency, and which has resulted in the first two years ot his administration in reducing the national debt over two hundred millions, and curtailing the taxes to the extent of eighty millions annually. They commend, also, the similar policy which has prevailed un der Republican rule in Pennsylvania, resulting in paying off the war debt of three and a bait millions; reduoing the State debt from forty to thirty millions; and in abolishing the State tax on real estate. It is to the fact that both the State and nation have been in Repub lican hands, we owe the accomplishment of such gratifying results; and it is to tho continuance of that party in power, the people must alone look for the con tinuance of this policy. The return of the Democrats to power in either State or nation, must inevitably be attended with a return to extravagauce in expen dituics, to the impairment of State and national credit, and to the abandonment of that protection to free labor under which our industry has thriven and our people been made prosperous. 5. That in the judgement of this convention, thetimo has come when the ftate tax on personal estate may be safely abolished, and the other taxes, imposed by State laws, moy also pru dently be reduced without injury to the credit of the Commonwealth. 0. That as an indication of what the people may fear from a return of the Democratia party to power, wo point to tho criminal waste of the time and r. nr. nt. fiT flirty ruiejlA. hit. .jHlv. CtTAfVt The Legislature has been now nearly five months in session, and is not yet through with its legitimate business, owinsr to the obstructive policy of this majority. In all this time, scarcely a riivjle measure of public interest hat hecu perfected; and the time has been wasted in their efforts to force on our State an uojust apportionment, and to break down the registry law against il legal voting, that they might thereby pave the way to their return to power through violence and fraud. 7. We oommeud to the support of the people of the State the candidates we have this day nominated for State offi cers. They are honest, capable and faithful to the Constitution, and in every way worthy the publio confidence. We ask for their election, as an endorsement of the State and National administra tions, as an approval of the time honored principles of the Republican party, which we reaffirm in their nomination, and as a fitting rebuke to the Democratic party for its destructive national policy; for its adherence to the side of violence and wrong in the South; and for the spirit it has betrayed in the Senate of this State this winter where it has made everything bend to the promotion of partisan interests, defeated the holding of a State convention to amend our Constitution, wasted the publio time in childish trifling, and entailed upon the State a bill of expense for a session pro longed beyond endurance, and which has prevented the accomplishment of any publio good. 8. That our confidence in the firm ness, wisdom and integrity of our pres ent worthy Governor, J no. W. Geary, remains unshaken, and that we believe his qualifications for the office he now holds are unquestionable, ae is clearly proved by the .manner he bas brought the State in safety through every storm. 9. That the administration of Presi dent Grant meets the full approval ot the Republican party of Pennsylvania. His financial policy, by which the na tional debt is being steadily reduced; the reduction in the expenditures of the government; the honest collection of the revenues; his fidelity to the principles of human right, through which the liberty of all is to be secured in every part of the land; his loyality to the people in having no policy to enforce against their will; and the spotless in tegrity of his administration. After the reading of the resolutions had been ooncluded, a motion was made that the same be unanimously adopted. The Hon. P. C. Shannon advocated the same in a most powerful speech, and on concluding, offered to amend the ninth resolution by adding tho following, "and point to him as the honored. leader of our party now, and the proper stand ary bearer of the Republican party in 1872." 1 3 Several gontlemen deprecated th amendmont as being premature, but the same was ably defended by Russell ftrrett, ot 1'itUburg, and Capt. John r. Ray, of LancaHter. The amendment and resolution wore then adopted with deafening applause. Mr. Errett then offered the follow ing resolution, via: That the Republican State Central Cnmmittee for the ensuing year shall be constituted of the same number, and appointed in the same way as the pres ent State Central Committee, the offi cer to consist of a chairman, three secretaries and a treasurer, to be ap pointed by the Committee. Mr. Mann, of Potter, moved to amend by making the chairman of the Com mittee be Hon. Butler B. Strang, of Tioga. Mr. Quay moved to amend the amendment to the resolution to read that the permanent president of the convention and the two candidates this day nominated shall appoint the chair man of the State Central Committee. After considerable debate the amend ment of Mr. Quay was agreed to, and the resolution as amended was adopted. Mr. Shannon offered the following, which was unanimously adopted; Resolved, That the thanks of the people of Pennsylvania are due to Gen eral Ilartranft and General Campbell for the able, faithful and efficient man ner in which they have discharged the duties of the offices of Auditor General and Surveyor General. General Wagner then moved ad journment tine die. Carried. s 1UNG piFTY dollaRS Worth of Ifrulo HO EC FOR 3. A New School Cook, by H. 8. Prbkiss. Prioe $7.50 per tloi.
