lIETTILEIIESI, Pa., July 19, 1858.
Mr Dort Paces :.To do justice to Bethlehem";
the attractions of its scenery; the peculiarities of
its early settletutint; the painful and deeply inter
esting history of its revolutionary experience; the
institutions of the Church of the tifiltod Brethren ;
the manuradturing establishments ; these and
many other !tents, would require more space than
can be afforded in a letter or two. A week or two,
at least, one ought to devote to a visit, if ho means
to search out and enjoy all its objects of interest
and beauty. Its location speaks welt not only for
the Judgment, but the taste find appreciation of the
beautiful of its founders. In 1740, December 224,
ti party of the Baited Brethren, more commonly
hnown as Moravian, who had been engaged at Na
zareth, some ten miles to the northward, in building
a largo house to serve as an asylum and school for
negroes, intended to bo under the direction ff
George Whitfield, communced clearing the ground
for a log t house on the spot where Bethlehem now
stands. At the Lehigh in the forks of the Dela
wrfie," was fbe designation by which the locality
was known. The Lehigh aomo five miles above
makes an abrupt turn In its course to the east
ward, and flows into the Delaware at Baston, some
ten miles below. The Settletnent was Intended as
a central station for the Government and supervi
sion of the missions of the brethren among the
Delaware and Mohican Indians, affording a plaoo
of rendezvous for the missionaries, and an asylum
for those who might booome disabled or infirm in
the prosecution of their arduous labors.
The corner-stone of the first house was not laid
till the fall of 1741. It was standing as Into as
1823, when it was removed to make room for the
stables of the Diglo Hotel. Tho second house
built In the place is atilt standing, though greatly
dilapidated. With en earnest faith, a sal-snort
tieing spirit, a firm yet humble reliance and de
pendence upon God, these devoted brethren had
founded their settlement. The first bishop of the
church of the United Brethren, as it had been
renewed and reorganized in 1722, by Count Zin
zindorf, officiated at the laying of the first corn or
atone. "David Nitschman, founder of Bethle
hem, who felled the first tree to build the first
house—such is the inscription upon the tombstone
of the good bishop, who died in 1718, just one hun
dred years ago, having labored for the prosperity
and advancement of the settlement through ell
the difficulties and perils of the first sixteen years
of its existence.
It in 1742, upon the arrival of tho first of a
series of colonists from tiormany, that a congrega
tion was established among the brethren, after the
model of those in Earope by Count Zinsindorf. A
simple-hearted, peaceful, industrious people, filled
with an earnest, practioxl brotherly love for each
other, a communism of labor for the advancement
and support of the missions of the church, after
supplying the members of the community with
the necessaries of life, was heartily and cyst°.
matioally adopted, without the extravagances and
ill-effects which too often result from such sohemes.
Though peaceful and quiet in the management of
their own affairs mingling but little with the
concerns of the, on ' itde world, their very position
and the peaceful characteristics of their religious
faith : exposed them to suspicion, and even at
times to danger, during the French and Indian
wars and that of the Revolution. The relation
they held with the Indians, through their mis
sionaries, mattered through the different tribes,
led them in the former wars to be suspected by
both belligerent parties. And daring the Revolu
tion, their firm refusal to take up !truss excited
distrust and even hatred in the minds of many
Yet, without compromising their principles, they
oheerfully submitted to the necessary burdens of
war, and no community exhibited a more patient,
self-saerifioing, cheerful spirit amid the trials and
hardships of that
As the settlement increased in numbers and
strength, large buildings wore erected from time
to time for the accommodation of the different fa•
miltes of the congregation, and also for the female
seminary, wnich bad been gradually Increasing in
reputation, and the number of soholars, from its
establielmont in 1749 up to the time of the Revo
lution. The location of tho town was far enough
in the interior to render it comparatively secure
for tho military hospitals, while at the same time
it was not so remote as to be difficult of access from
the line of military operations, and the large and
capacious buildings afforded facilities rarely to be
met. Accordingly, in Da:Amber, 1776, after Wash
ington had evacuated Now York and was retreat•
lug across the Jerseys, the general hospital of the
army was removed from its exposed situation at
Morristown to Bethlehem. Tho "Brethren's
House" was given up for the accommodation of
the sick and wounded. For a time during the
year 1777, tho settlement had but few of the
bled soldiers remaining in its midst; but
in September of that year, the brethren were
compelled again
. to receive large numbers of the
sink and wounded, and their occupation of
the " Brethren's House" as a hospital continued up
till June, 1778. Largo numbers of the soldiers
who died in the hospital during its location at
Bethlehem were buried on the hillside west of the
Mormeasy creek, which empties into the Lehigh
after skirting the town and crossing Its lower por
tion. No monument marks the last resting place
of these patriots of the Revolution. Their long
continued and wearisome sickness and languishing,
sufferings and privations more dreadful to boar
than a speedy death upon the battle.field, are,
alas! but too little remembered. Tho glory of the
Revolutionary , confliets can never be forgotten;
but the stern, unyielding patriotism which sus
tained and supported our fathers amid the daily
severe trials of that eventful period, is but too
little thought of. Let one visit Bethlehem, and as
he looks upon the hillside waving with the yellow
,grain, or crowned with the dark green corn-Holds,
let him think of the noble forms long since bu
ried there, and let his imagination oarry him bank
to the Joyous and peaceful homes from which, as the
tocsin of war sounded its alarm through the
length and breadth of the Colonies, those forms,
armed with the hastily seized weapons, hastened
forth to
', Strike for the green graves of their aim,
God, and their native land.”
And then, as he pictures to himself the long trains
of wagons, orowded with sick and wounded, slowly
dragging their wearisome way over bill and dale,
lot him think of the pain and anguish, thn suffer.
ins', bodily and mental, which for months filled the
crowded dormitories and corridors of the"Brethren's
Home," and let him think, too, of sorrow and deso
lation which pervaded those once happy and peace
ful homes, and his heart must be cold, indeed, if it
glows not with n wormer, deeper, more fervid ad
miration of the " men of '76."
Frequently members of the Continental Can
grese stopped•at Bethlehem on their way to and
from Philadelphia There is still preserved among
the archives of the brethren hero a most interest
ing document, signed by John Hancock, Satinet
Adams, Richard Henry Leo, Henry Laurens, John
Adams, and other delegates, testifying to the
"diligent attention to the sick and wounded, and
a benevolent desire to make the necessary pro
vision for the relief of the distressed, as fares the
power of the brethren enabled them," which they
bad observed during their stay, and uniting in a
request to all Continental officers to " refrain
from disturbing the persons or property of the
Moraviane in Bethlehem." Detachments of pri
soners were not unfrequently sent to Bethlehem as
a place of security, under, charge of a guard.
After the retreat through the Jerseys, in Decom
ber,l776, Leo's division of the army, three thou l i
-
sand strong, under command of Uoneral
passed through the settlement, and encamped for
a night on the south bank of the Lehigh. When
the British army was approaching Philadelphia,
in 1777, and the city was evacuated by the Ameri
can forces, the church bolls, end also the old
"Liberty boll," from the State-house, were taken
down and removed to a place of safety. Christ
choir& chime was thus removed. The bells were
taken northward, through Bethlehem, and eventu
ally stored at Trenton. A diary of that period,
whioh is still preserved, records the foot that the
wagon which convoyed the !' Liberty bell " broke
down in the street of Bethlehem, and had to be
unloaded. But we must pass from the Herein
tionary incidents connected with the history of
Bethlehem. '
The Bethlehem Female Seminary, which is under
the charge of the Moravians, hoe long borne a
most enviable and well-deserved reputation. The
present principal, the Rev. Sylvester Wells, seems
admirably fitted for his station, triad' he has held
since 1849, and has labored successfully for the
prosperity and advancement of the institution.
As it was the season of vacation during our visit,
we bad no opportunity of practically observing
the conduct and management or the Seminary.
To one who enjoys pedestrian exercise the vi
cinity of Bethlehem affords many varied and beau
tiful walks. A stroll may he taken through the
old cemetery, where an hour or two can be spent in
examining the ineoriptions upon the grave-stones,
many of which aro very old and carious. The

is onolosed for a long distance immediately along
the river, and tastefully laid out with wind—
ing walks and adorned with flowers and shade'
trees, many of the latter being forest trees of
the natural growth. A charming walk, thOtigh
but little used, is to be had, by crossing the Mono
oaey creek at the mills, about a mile north of the
Sun hotel, and following the western bank of the
stream, recrossing the creek at the lower end of
the town. Abby° the bridge aoroas the Lehigh, a
gravelled path is laid out along the bank of the
river for some distance, and beneath the over
hanging shade of the trees whioh hero line the
bank quits a float of row-boats is drawn up, afford
ing facility for amok, delightful and health-giving
exorcise, which is indulged in to a very great ex
tent, by ladies as well as gentlemen.
Saturday and Sunday we spent at Bethlehem,
and shall leave at noon to-day by the Lehigh Val
ley road. for Mauch Ohutik, after having occupied
the morning very pleasantly in Writing Mill letter.
From Mauch Chunk the readers of The Press may
expect to hear again from A Ta /ashram.
Trouting In Northern Pennsylvania.
[For The Prose ]
Having returned from the vicinity of Ralston,
it email town situated oa Lyooming crook, in the
northern part of thin State, I will endeavor to de
raribe to those who may peruse your valuable
paper the excitement and pleasuro owporionced-in
angling for the king of freah-ivator fah—the noble
mountain trout.
Adequate tackle is the first indispensable artiste
to insure success, which should consist of a rod of
whalebone or bard cannoned wood. from ten to
fifteen feet in length, and about ono and a half
inches in diameter at the butt, gradually tapering
to a point, whore a small ring is inserted, through
which to pass the lino until it terminates at the
reel, the latter being secured about twelve inches
from the butt of the polo.
Artifieial flies are considered the most effective
bait, and tended with tho leant trouble, although
worms are frequently used; furnished with the
above equipments, not omitting a pnir of Indian
rubber hoots, to prevent wet foot, being occasion
ally obliged' to wade into the stream, in matey
to moll some secluded nook, where the fish
are likely to harbor. But the main requisite to
ho an expert troutelinher in an extra amount of
patience, combined with a large shore of hope.
Raving named the implements used in capturing,
this rare fish, I will give a short account of a day's
sport enjoyed by myself and a near friend, come
weeks sum, on Rock run, one of the tributaries
of Lyooming crook
Arranging preliminaries tho evening before, we
awoke next morning just 119 the faint rays of day
light peered through our window, while the red
dess in the eastern horizon indicated an approaching
fair day. After partaking of a hasty but hearty
meal, we set out, directing our course along the run ;
which is one of the most beautiful streams in this
vgion, being pure spring water, as cold as ice,
and clear as crystal, also teeming with beautiful
trout
The morning was delightful, not a cloud ob
scured the heavens; the reflection of the rising
sun was barely visible an the side of the green
elnd mountain opposite ; the chirp of many forest
songsters continually flitting through the dense
foliage, while the familiar bark of the gray souk
rel. mingled with the fragrant odors of wild flowers.
wafted down on the cool, beading mountain breeze,
rendered the scene ono of placid magnificence. in
which the works and beauties of nature wore
vividly displayed. But to return to our nar
rative : after wandering about half a mile,
we struck a very wild and picturesque part of the
stream, where we determined to separate, my com
panion taking one side and myself the other. As
luck would have it. I was graced with the honor
of drawing first bloc], or, in plain language, catch
ing the first fish, which proved a magnificent fel
low, requiring all my skill to land without in
juring my lino. To the unsophisticated oar it
may sorted ludicrous end amusing when we
speak of science and skill in handling our rod
and scouring our game after it is hooked;
but let me toll you, dear reader, a vast amount
of practice is required to fish with ono of these
rods in a scientific manner. An expert fishermen
uses his tackle In the same way that a stage-driver
does his whip;
_lashing the rippling water with
the tempting bait, which, if not instantly salmi
by the eager fish, is drawn up, and the same pro
cess repeated in a different part of the creek. In
this manner we proceeded for several hours
through a beautiful; wild, and rugged country,
our path often being interrupted by massive lime
stone boulders around which wo were obliged to
wade, Numerous waterfalls aro along this stream;
most of them arc formed by logs. rooks, and drift
wood having accumulated in its hod.
As we were admiring one of these eateraets over
which the crystal fluid roared, wo perceived 11
noble buck, about ono hundred yards in advrnee,
quietly drinking from the comparative calm
water beyond, when, raising his antlered head, ho
winded us, and Immediately bounded through the
dense rarest into his native haunts.
The sky during the afternoon became gradually
overcast, and threatening black clouds hung over
the peaks of the huge mountains, while the low
moaning of distant thunder warned us to seek
shelter from the approaching storm. After walk
ing bard for an hour and a half, we gained the
town without a dry garment on us, well pleased
with the day's sport, having taken eight dozen
fish, meat of them of a largo size, which is con
sidered a fair average yield. SPORTSMAN.
DEATH WARRANTS OP The DANVILLE
POISONER:I.—The Danville Intellizeneer of the
18th inst says: On Thursday, of hist week, Gov.
Packer issued death warrants for the following
persons: John Lutz, of Allegheny county, to be
executed on the let cf Catcher next; William John
Clark, of Montour county, to be executed on the
twentpfourth day of September ; and Mary
Twiggs, of Montour county, to be executed on the
twenty-second day of Ootober. Shoriff Young, of
Danville, received the last two on the following
evening. Saturday kfternoon, between the hours
of ono and two o'clock, after Mrs. Twigg,s and Mr.
Clark had eaton a hearty dinner, the sheriff, Co
oompanied by Mre. Young and Edward Daldy,
Esq., prooeeded to the cells of tho condemned for
the purposo of reading the warrants to them.
Clack's was read first. lie liatoned to its awful
contents with the same iron norvo and stone stoi
cism that has supported him since the hour of his
arrest. No quiver of body or emotion of mind
could be discerned by those present. After the
sheriff finished roadie g it, Clark asked for a pipe
and some tobacco. The warrant authorizing the
execution of Mre Twiggs was then read to her.
She heard it wish unmistakable anguish, and
sobbed like a child.
TILE DR RIVIERE ROMANCIL—On Saturday
morning, Mr. Richard T. Deming, counsel for Mr.
Hunoko and Mrs. Blount, advised the latter to go
home with her husband, which advice the lady
complied with, and Mr. Deming immedintely tool;
her over in a carriage to Alai!lard's. in Broadway,
where Mr. Maureau, of Now Orleans, and his son,
and Mr. Stein, of Mobile, are staying. This course
has been adopted in consequence of the foot that
Mrs. Blount has not sufficient funds in hands hero
to meet her iniebtedness. Mr. Deming has ac
cordingly advised that bins. B.'s board bill and
other trifling expenses be paid so long as her funds
will admit, and she can arrange for payment of
the remainder on her arrival in Mobile. While
this case is proceeding here, her drafts on Mobile
will not be honored. It is therefore considered
advisable that she should go home immediately,
where she will 'have her own property under her
immediate control, and can arrange for the pay
ment of her bills in this State. Mrs. Blount hoe
said that all she wanted was to have her board bill
paid, in order that she might leave the hotel with-
out any stigma attaching to her fnr going away

Belgians, 1 Russian, and 1 Corinna. The stook
ooneisted of 8,000 pieces, of which there were only
1,000 veritable cashmere shawls. The remainder
consisted of Indian tissues of tho value of $5 to $8;
it is only in England that these common scarfs find

$BOO,OOO. The French buyers proportion was
three millions. As four of the principal shops of

proved that France possesses almost a monopoly

In Cincinnati, at the wharf,' on Wednesday

themselves and,a crowd of spectators with a light.
It seems that the Lehigh had shipped a lot of

to have contracted for, and who alleged that Cap

Ford wont to the gangway of the Lehigh, and no.

The lie passed, followed by personal abuse, when
Shunk aimed a blow at Ford, and a fight between
the two followed. Captain Ford got ono of the
fingers of Captain Shunk in his mouth. and bit it
very severely. Ford received some injury from
blows on the cheek, when the parties wero sepa

working harm to those who supply the market,

, UEMOORATIC RULES,
ABOUTED BY TINE CITY CONVENTION
JULY 9th, 1855.
ADDRESS OF THE CO3IMITTEE
to the pemeet:ats of the City of Philadelphia
The ComMitteo ()barged with the subject, in
compliance with the instructions of tho Doren-
Convrntion that formed the following
system of Roles for the Government of the Demo
cratic Party of the oitv . of Philadelphia, would re
spectfully call your attention to some of their more
Important provisions, And invoke your individual
and united eltertions to Oro them the beneficial
eireot intended, confident. that In so doing you mill
restore confidence to the Democratic party and in
sure eueeosa to the canes of Demooratio principles.
The most important of the ohangas made in the
old Rules will bo found in the first of the now, and
consist in a series of provisions for a full and fair
enrollment ofllll 'the Dernearatio voters in each
division ton days before each delegate election;
In the h'olding of the blestlonn for three been by
daylight, instead of only ono, mostly by night,
as under the old rules. . These amendments, if
carried out in accordance with the letter and
apirit of the rule, will entirely remove all coin
plaint-of improper voting and unfair eleetions or
returns. They secure to math Democrat a fair op
portunity to be enrolled and to vote, and they go
as far as human predation can go to prevent env
oilier than the legal Democratic voters of the (Dv!.
alma Voting at such elections Doubts were enter
tained by a portion of the Convention of the pro
priety of entrusting to any Committee the power
of making nP ;''enrollment, " inasmuch as it
wile s they might make Oil inipriper' use of
thf•i'powor.' fain Tillman laws can secure certain
freedom from the wroligs they ire enacted to :re
dr* or piteishi As the violation br `party Yoke
cannot he punished, they aro made more in refer
ence to the 'prevention of Deity wrongs and in'se
curing petty rights; which it is believed the
amendments to these rules will go as far as mist:
' hie to aceetnplish. Tho Committee are to he Fe
looted, by three different classes of the Democrats
in the division, thus soeuring as far as reale/tido
a fair committee, to. make the enrollment. The
motilhers of tho'bounnittee cannot be eer difira en.
for (relegates, Which Is likely to insure their
teroSted service: The onminittee are to perforns
their duties openly, and their enrollment to be sub
jest public examination. It is not foreseen how
any Verneerat eat bo deprived of his Vote, who
desires to participate in any delegate election, if
he ti es the'propert Means to aecnre it.
Thc enrollment being made lets days before the
eleotten, gives ample time and opportunity for
any Democrat to ascertain its correctness, and to
object to the Vote of any ono on it not a proper
Dem6oratio voter ; and alto ti prepare the proof
of any improper enrollment ori'vitingeahnuld any
mailirt to laYrbeifore the Convention when it. meets.
The en
enrollment throughout the city may net be ns
full t 6 the first elect ions as they should be, through
the etirelesaness of Democratic) voters to see that
their names are enrolled; but when they find arch
neglept will deprive them'of their votes in - Cie
party,erganlaation, it is believed that every De
mocrat in the division will have his name properly
enrolled. When this shall bo done, these enroll
mental, containing, as they will, the names and
resideimer of all the Democratic 'voters of the
division, will be of inanleulable advantage to the
party „at the general and municipal elections of
the peenlo
Thießxeoutive Committee may also ho present
as " Watchers" at the delegate elections, to see
that the election is conducted fairly; snaking six
disinterested persons, elected by the Democratic
voters;to be present at every election.
The enrollment and the voting by daylight it is
believed' will remove altogether the complaints, so
frequertly made, of improper persons voting and
con , rol rig Demeeretio delegate elections, who
were ntVer hoard of before the election, and never
seen afterward, but who under color of night. and
in the (maestro' of an excited election, through the
improper zeal of candidates, or their vouching
friends for them, are allowed o vote. This cannot
be done under the new Rules without certain de
tection and exposure.
This rule also provides for only ono election
during the year for officers to conduct the delegate
elections throughout the year, thus removing the
complaints so- frequently made of the election of
improper or corrupt election officers at the election
immediately preceding each delegate eleotlon, as
under the old rules And here we would suggest
to our Democratic follow-citizens In all the divi
sions of the eitv, the propriety of - electing the some
Democratic officers, (so far es they go,) as they
elect to conduct the regular elections, to conduct
the party elections. The knoteledze they obtain
as officore of the party elections of the Democratic
voters, will be found to be useful to them as guar
dians of the party's ri hie at the regular election,
while their knowledge of voters voting at the rept.
lar election will be found of great advantage at
thci`delegate elections. Besides, conducting both
elections will better fit them by experience to con
duet either.
No kte,orrison of the proposed enrollment of
Democratio voters with the old "registry" law of
the elty and county of Philadelphia, under which
en much fraud was perpetrated. can be made, or
should be made, as the " registry" was made by
offiCers of election, all elected by one party—the
registry malls in secret, and kept in secret, until
after the election was over and the fraud aonst.m
mated. The Demooratio " enrollment" is to be
made by officers elected by three divisions or efasses
of the party—is to be publicly made—open fri
all, and kept by throe distinct and separate par
ties, and therefore no ono under it can conceal or
perpetrate any fraud, as was done under the yogis
try law; but, on the contrary, if any fraud is in
tended, it will expose and prevent its perpetra
tion.
Another important Seature in this rule is that
which provides for the election of distinct sets of
delegates for the nomination of candidates for
Congress, Senate, Rouse of Representatives. judi
ciary and county officers The Conventions to
which these nominations are referred meet at the
same hour and at different places. If proper dis
crimination is made by the people in the selection
of delegates, there will be nothing to fear from
dishonest outside parties, who, by a system of "log
rolling," have on some occasions been enabled to
foist on the party, as candidates for places of honor
or profit, men unworthy of public confidence.
Each delegate having but one duty to perform,
the practice of trading off one candidate for
another, without regard to merit, cannot be carried
out under the new system.
The sth Rule, prescribing the mode of determin
ing contested delegate elections. is a restoration
of Rule 7, of 1853. in a modified form, which is
believed was a far more equitable, satisfactory and
expeditious mule of settling disputed elections,
than any other yet adopted, and will doubtless
prevent many improper contests from being
brought before the Convention, and prevent any
accidental majority from porpotuatitig Its power by
improperly deciding them.
That part of this rule which makes it prima
facie evidence of fraud, and prevents any delegate
from taking hie seat in the Convention, the vote of
whose division was greater than the Democratic
vote at the next preceding general or municipal
election, is a restoration of Rule 10, of 1854.
In all such owes: when known to the Conven
tion, the delegate will have to await the examinn
tion of a committee, ns prescribed in this rule,
whether his seat is otherwise contested or not.
Those who wilfully or negligently abstain form
voting at the regular elections, will not and should
not be enrolled to make tickets for others to sup
port. Those rules are made for voting Demo
crats, not for non-voting Democrats.
The new rules define the order in which the
different city, county, and ward officers shall be
token up in Convention, thus facilitating their
notion, and preventing provoking contests on this
subject, and sometimes injurious combinations, or
the nomination of bad candidates through the in
attention of delegates, after their favorite candi
date shall have been successful or defeated.
Rule 20 provides for the election of separate de
legates to State Conventions, by the Dernocratio
voters of each Representative and Senatorial dis
trict, which was believed to be in accordance with
the rules of the party throughout the rest of the
State, and more likely to secure a fair expression
of the real sentiments of the party In such Con
ventione than tho old mode of joint city or county
ac Hort.
The election of a division, ward, and oily execu
tive committee, as provided for, will, it is to be
hoped, give them more character and eilleioney than
they hove heretofore in many important elections
had. Groat oars should he taken hy the Demo
orate of every °lotion divaion to secure the services
of honest, active, and reliable Democrats on the
Executive Committee Their dutiea are of the most
important character to the party; indeed. much of
its success will depend upon the manner they per
form their duties : First, in making out a fair and
full enrollment of the Democratic) voters of the
division—second, in watching over the delegate
elections to see they are fairly conduotod—and
t'•irdly, in attending to the interests of the party
generally. We would most respeolfully, there
fore, urge upon all good Demoorate'who wish to
give character and strength to the party, not to
shrink from the performance of these duties,
though their performance may draw largely on
their time and attention.
The pledge required of candidates for office un
der the old rules has been dispensed with in the
new ones. It was not believed to have any ¢ool
effect upon the candidates pledging themselves to
sustain the nomination, and frequently prevented
Conventions fromiho Feleetion of the most fitting
candidates, in conacquence of such person not hav
ing deemed it proper to give such pledge to the
Cmivention, not desiring to be eenindered in the
light of an applicant for the office, though willing
to take it if voluntarily nominated. This will give
Conventions a larger range for selection of candi
dates, and, It is hoped. will bo the means of ena
bling them to detect other persons for candidates
than those most importunate for the nomination,
but who aro not always the most suitable to fill the
office or likely to be elected.
Other changes have been made in various parts
of the old rules, but of less importance than those
alluded to, but all having for their objeot to secure
fair elections of delegates and fair nominations by
Conventions
Painful as the duty may be. the committee
upon closing this address, nevertheless deem it to
be its duty to state frankly some of the alleged
evils which occasioned a revision of the old
rules. At many of our delegate eleotions,
persona have been charged with voting in divi
sions in which they did not reside ; some
voting who bad no right to vote in any division,
and ethers voting repeatedly at ono and the same
election. In many instances, the very officers who
conducted those eleotions aided or connived at those
frauds, to which was added brute force, whereby
peaceable and worthy Democrats wore driven from
the polls. By ouch base moans men were returned
as delegates, not to choose fitting candidates or to
represent the will of the Democracy, but merely to
serve friends, who, In too many instances, were no
toriously neither honest nor capable, and who went
before the people with charges of having obtained
the nomination through corrupt means. It is high
time that all that should be stopped. We should
reflect that the whole machinery of party is itself
no ultimate purpose; It is but to means to an end,
and that end is to secure good government, gene
ral and municipal. To attain that we must begin
at the foundation. Our delegate °lotion must be
'hilly and honestly oonduoted; force and fraud in
every shape' must be frowned down. He who
countenances either violates the spirit of these'
rules and the duty be owes to the Democratic
par Y t
et y. •
neither will the observance of these, nor of
any other rules, make good nominations, without
which the Democratic party need not expect suc
cess. In choosing delegates, the Demooratle vo
ters should reflect that they give to them their own
political power, and that it behooves them to de
termine well to whom they shall entrust it.
Politionl services do not alone entitle men to that
trust: they should also be discreet and honest and
resolute to eat rightly.; no others will over choose
fit candidates; and if mon without moral or Intel
leetual fitness or integrity will. thrust themselves
before the party as candidates for any office, it is
for the honest and wall-disposed sternly to reject
them, and to choose thorn only of whom they can
truly effirm " ho is honest, he is capable."
It must be known to you all that, for the above
and other causes, there is is strong and increasing
distrust in the fairness of our delegate elections,
conventions, and nominations, a diminished confi
dence in their honesty and integrity that will soon,
if not removed, destroy all respect for the candi
dates they may eeleot, and render their nomination
of no binding influence. To restore confidence, it'is
of the first importance that every true and honest
Democrat should attend the delegate olootions, to
vote for capable and honest officers, and capable
and honest delegates. Then delegates, lu their
turn, will bo most likely to vote for honest and
capable candidates for the various offices, and
none other should be nominated.' This done, and
a strict and constant supervision kept over the
offielal conduct of thorn who are thus sokieted,by
the. party, and elected by the people—roWurtling ,
the faithful continued,support, and 'rejecting
the unfaithful or eloiebefutwill give to the party'
at all times that aseendanoy to which the sound
ness of its principles entitles it. . , •
It Will bet/06114 the" Schedule" that the elec
tion for the Executive Committee to make the
first enrollment for the August delegate election,
and the officers to conduct the August election,
will he hold on the last Monday of the present
month, (July,) at the usual places of holding dele
gate elections in mud) division, between the hours
of four and seven o'clock, P. M., and will be con
ducted by The officers who conducted the election
'of delegates to the late Convention to .amend the
ruins. As it is not likely any other notice of this.
`election will be given, it is important that every
Democrat should remember the time, and bo pee
sent nt such election. It is hoped that this elec
tion will be well attended, and the new rules put
fairly in operation.
