The Bepublican party, in appealing once more to the people of this State for their support, points with just pride to its record, and it fearlessly claims the renew ed confidence of the people because it has been faithful to its trust, and is commit ted to the only line of policy that can secure continued prosperity to the State and Nation. The Republicans of this State first car ried both branches of the legislature in 1859, and first elected a Governor in 18G0. Since then it has held control of the government until last winter, when the Democrats obtained control, temporarily, oi me oenate. In 1801, when Gov. Curtin came into office, the State Debt, in round numbers, was 840,000,000. Shortly afterwards the Southern Rebellion broke out, and the State was compelled to borrow $3,500,000, to arm the troops and protect our borders, thus adding that much to the State Debt. In the ten years that have since passed away, this war loan of $3,500,000 has been paid off j the State Debt has been reduced from $40,000,000 to a little over $29,000,000 ; the three mill tax which was levied for State purposes on real estate prior to 18G1 has been repealed ; tne tax On professions ana OCCUpatlOUS has been taken off : the annual contnbu- f o . ! . , .,. c, , , nuu ui me ouue io ine i udiic ccnoois i .111 . has been greatly enlarged ; a system of schools has been built up for the educa tion and support of the orphans of soldiers who died in the war a noble benefaction, costing over half a million yearly ; and the afiair3 of the State, generally, have been so managed as to secure prosperity to the people. The Republicans of the nation elected their Presidential candidate in 18G0, and succeeded, against many angry threats from the opposition, in putting him in office in March, 18G1. Almost immediate ly afterwards the government was con fronted by an armed rebellion in the South, (openly as well as secretly enccur aged by many Democrats in the .North, whose sympathies still remain with those who then took arms to overthrow the gov ernment,) and was compelled to main tain the honor of the national flag and the integrity of the country at whatever cost; and the four years' war which fol lowed necessarily entailed a heavy debt and burdensome taxation upon the people. Since the suppression of the rebellion, the country has not only returned to peace but to prosperity. The fears of many! that the nation would be bankrupted, her 01 corruPl,a mismanagement and ex industry paralyzed, and her people ruined, ! trava?ance: an open up anew all the have not been realized. .No people ever 11003 lnld in the reconstruction recovered so soon, so steadily and so surely, of lie soe States, now settled upon from the consequences of war, as we havel"" done : and for this recovery from the destructive influences of civil strife we are mainly indebted to the fostering band held out by the national government to the industries of the people. Among the necessities growiog out of the llebellion the National Government found itself compelled to submit to the States for their ratification, three amend ments to the Constitution one (known as the thirteenth) abolisning slavery; another, (the fourteenth,) securing the rights of citizens to the enfranchised i slaves, and prohibiting the repudiation of j Convention at an early day to put an end any part of the National debt, or the pay-1 to tbat curse of our State, Special Lkgis ment of any part of the Bebel debt; and j nation ; and, as if determined to show another (the fifteenth) prohibiting the j tna.fc llVs cui"sc should not be removed by States from excluding any one from the!tncr aiJ e enactment of the enormous richt of suffrage on account of race, color. ' number of 1800 local bills. And this is or previous condition of servitude. These three amendments having all been duly ratified in. the method pointed out by the Constitution, are now a com ponent part of that instrument. Their adoption stands as the grandest peaceful achievement of ancient or moderu times No party ever before undertook so great j a task; and its accomplishment, in so short a space of time, is a work of which the Bepublican party may well feel proud. To secure the complete protection of these emancipated and enfranchised peo ple is now one of the unquestioned duties of the nation ; aud uo party is so fit to be entrusted with that duty as the party which has done the preliminary work. The party which has hitherto continuous ly resisted the policy thus established, is not the one, now, to carry it out. During the war for suppressing the Bebellion, and in carrying out the groat measures which have necessarily flowed from it, the Democratic party has con tinuously been in the opposition. It op posed the adoption of stringent measures to put dowu the Bebellion ; the levying of troops to suppress it ; the borrowing of j thousand men, in the exercise of their money to pay the cost of tho war ; the j Constitutional right to assemble together, Emaucipatiou Proclamation of President: iuforrn the authorities of their purposo to Lincolu ; the adoption of all the amend-1 parade the streets cn a certain day. An meuts to the Constitution ; the rcconstruo-1 other body of men, who always vote the tion measures by which the revolted j Democratic ticket, and numbering many States were brought back iuto the Uuionjjmore thousands, uotify tho authorities and, generally, every measure necessary that this parade must uot be permitted, to the successful prosecution of the war, 'and that if it is, they will attack it and or to the successful restoratioag of peace. disperse it, no matter at what cost of life At prescut, too, it is opposed to the or limb to tho party attacked. Tho Demo means necessary for raising revenue to ' cratic rulers of New York at once decline pay the interest on tho public debt, and to defend the few against the many in the secure its steady reduction; is in favor exercise of their Constitutional right; of a semi repudiation of that debt by pay- deny that there is any such right; yield ing it in a depreciated currency, iu paid to the defiance of the mob, because it has at all; is watching for au opportunity to, might on its side, and, at the deniaiid.of annul the new "amendments to tho Con- that mob, forbid the peaceable und law stitution ; and is generally committed to: abiding citizens to assemble together, as any line of policy which will remit theltho Constitution permits, or to exercise country to its coudition prior to I860. . the rights which the law allow.-. It m.iy be urged, here, th.it the Demo - cratie party of this State, ia the niuth resolution of the platform adopted by its last State Convention, has acquiesced in the adoption of the amendments of the Constitution we have "referred to, and cannot be now chanred with hostilitv to them. We answer that the acquiescence expressed in that resolution has not, it self been acquiesced in by the rank and file of the party. Over one third of the Convention voted strenuously against it, and the action of the Convention has since been repudiated by many leading men and journals of the party. Besides, whatever acquiescence has been given, has been given sullenly and not heartily as a matter of policy, springing from party necessity, and not from a conviction of its propriety. Wherever a vote has been honestly given, or voice siucerely raised for this new departure," it may very properly be regarded as an extorted confession that the Bepublican party has all along been right in what the Demo cratic party was steadily opposed; 'and this confessed, what need is there or can there be, for the further existence of the Democratic party 'I When Gen. Grant came into office, in 18G9, he announced his determination to secure the honest aud faithful collection of the revenue, the steady rcductiou of the public debt, and such an statement in taxation as was consistent with his policy. In the space of little over two years this determination, faithfully adheared to, has ! 0.,!,.j : !: rr oon nm nnn -r .K. i J i. ,, . f I public debt, and in the abolition of near- 1 1 n t n i i ly all the taxes imposed under pre previous laws. In addition to this he ha3, by his wise and firm foreign policy, succeeded in set tling all our outstanding difficulties with Great Britain, in a manner alike honor able and advantageous to us as a people. The treaty, lately ratified by both na tions, which removes all causes of quar rel, and establishes peace and amity be tween them, has commanded the admira tion of the civilized world, and placed the United States in the forcmcst rank among the nations of the earth. This result is one of which every American may justly feel proud. To continue the Bepublican party in power is to continue the policy begun both in State and Nation, of maintaining .he public credit, paying off our debt, re ducing taxation, settling international difficulties without bloodshed, and sustain ing the great principles involved in the measures necessarily growing out of the war. To restore the Democratic party to pow er is to destroy the public credit, pave the e I3; uestroy 1,10 P" "edit, pave tne for repudiation, bring in the old tide For present proof of this we refer to the consequences flowing from the ac cidental majority of the Democrats in the State Senate " last winter. To that fact we owe a session prolonged to the mid dle of May, at an extra cost cf 100,000 ; the re-establishment of the forsaken pol icy of emplying extra (and useless) offi cers in the Legislative bodies and grant ing them extra pay ; an appropriation bill increased beyond all former bounds, to the extent of half a million ; the defeat of all measures for calling a Constitutional but a tithe of what we should have had to endure had they had both Houses and the Governor on their side. A still further proof of the unfitness of that party to be entrusted with power is to be found in the melancholy history of the late riots in New York. In that city the Democrats have undisputed away, and through it, in the State. Ihev had the power in their hands to prevent this riot and blood shed, but they would not use it either at the right time or in the right way. Why 1 Because the party is pos sessed of no principle which can lead it to respect the rights of man, bo they civ il or religious. Its sole idea of rights is derived from the maxim that might makes right. This was c!early cvienced in the debate iu our State Senate, in 18G9, on the Fifteenth Amendment, in which the Democratic leader ia the State scout ed the claim that there were any such things as human rights. The idea, he said, was a myth and a humbug. And this sentiment of the Democratic leader in Pennsylvania has been carried out to the latter in New Yotk. A few i It U true that at the last hour, when the publi iuJiaatiou had bcCU Ul'OUiaCd at this base abandonment of the civil rights of the people, the State authorities j stepped in ana permitted what the city j authorities had previously forbidden ; but ; the mob had already triumphed too far to yieia pcaceiuily to this sudden change, and the slaughter which followed is at tributable solely to the official cowardice which first yielded to a mob it was after wards unable to control. It is plain, moreover, that the first act, of prohibiting the parade, was the legiti mate outgrowth of the principles control ling the Democratic party, but men have no inherent rights and that MIGIIT alone gives right. It brought into view the ferocious claws which, though afterwards withdrawn, the furred foot could not wholly conceal. It was a clear indication of what we may expect throughout the country should the Democratic party ever return to power. If our civil and religious rights are to be preserved into this country against the attacks of turbulent mobs and the de mands of a wild fanaticism they can be preserved only bv the rartv based im- i movably on a deep regard for Human nights and Constitutional guarantees; and in the light of these facts we appeal to the people of Pennsylvania to really to the support of their imperilled Constitu tional franchises, and by the defeat of the Democratic party, which has proven it self alike unwilling and unable to uphold them, teach it that the people will bear no yielding to mob violence nor tamper ing with their constitutional rights, and will never permit the surrender of the citadel they have erected at a bloody cost sacred, now and forever, to Civil and Religious Liberty. RUSSELL ERRETT, Ch'man. Ezra. Lukes, ' D. F Houston, V Secretaries. P. M Lytle, j i Fish as Manure. 'Dr. J. V. C Smith said in the Far mers Club, fish wa3 a very good manure for wornout lands. Their use for this purpose was suggested to the Puritans by Squauto, an Indian, who told them that the way the natives managed to raise corn wa3 by putting three herrings into each hill. The Doctor also remarked that the great value of the overflowing of the Nilo was the fact that the deposit if left on the land was composed of millions of infusori al animals. This fertilizing material, so rich in animal matter, had made Egypt the granary of the old world. He also alluded to the custom of burying dead animals near trees, so that they may de rive the benefit of the fertilizing matter contained in the muscles, and the phos phates in the bones as the bodies decay. Mr. Bruen told how a friend of his bought a farm of poor land for 82,000. This farm was manured with Moss Buokers, spread all over thickly, and ploughed under, af ter which a crop of wheat was sowed. The proceeds were forty bushels to the acre on seventy acres, which he sold for SI. 50 a bushel, and thus paid for the place twice over with the crop, and it was the fish that did it. Dr. Growell said that where Moss Bunkers were used con tinually, the land becomes sour after tho third year, aud will not produce a crop. The same result is noticed with fish guano. How to Make Dutch Cheese. Allow the milk to thicken ; then heat gently over a fire iu a large kettle, till the curd separates from the whey ; then dig out into a colander or other suitable vessel, so that the whey can be pressed out of the curds as dry as possible ; after all the curds are pressed out, crumble up with the hands as fine as can be done, then press down in an earthen vessel, and let it stand a lew days until it becomes thoroughly heated. Don't omit to stir it throughout every day, afterward pressing it down, so that every portion of it may become heated alike ; now take it out and salt to suit the taste if one wishes to, she can add a small quautity of butter, it makes it richer ; but it is not positively necessary, as it is very good without it ; then take a deep basin or basins, (accord ing to the quantity and size you want the cheese), grease thctn well, press them even full of cheese aud set thctn in a stove or ovcu and bake till slightly brown on the top, and your cheese is done. This mode of making it is equally as good as English cheese, and lit to set beforo a king K. 27. JS. JHrcJirunvilfe, Why Cattle Need Salt A correspondent wishes the reason why cattle need salt. It is because phos phate of soda, must be furnished to tho blood, whereas it is phosphate of potash that exists in grains and grasses grown on soils deficient, as most soils are, in saline or sodic compound. When sail is taken into tho animal system it is partially de composed Some of its chloiiuo unites with the potassium of tho potash while the liberated sodium is oxydized to form soda, and this combines with the phos phoric aeid from tho potash phosphate to form phosphate of soda. Soda also exists in milk. It is this which gives the fluid its flightly alkaline taste when first drawn. If this bo absent, as wheu cattle are not supplied some way with salt, the milk is unwholesome. Cattle arc apt to prefer grass grown on lands top dressed with two or three hundred weight ol salt to the acre, for the reason that the salt renders the grass sweeter, mote tender und mora succulent. The weight of grass grown on salted land is, however,' likely to bo di lu'uiislud in proportiou, as runkness of growth id pievcutcd.
