l)c 3c(fci50uinn. THURSDAY AUGUST 14, 1873. ftS5The Democratic Masses of old mother Northampton arc all moving for the offices. Each fractional member of the party feels that he has claims for seivices rendered and is making a move to secure that claim. May the best men win, is all the harm we wish them. The Republican State Convention, for the nomination of candidates for Judge of the Supreme Court, and State Treasurer, assembled at Ilarrisburg yesterday. Though at the hour of our going to press we have not heard the result of their deliberations, we are satisfied that at the time of their adjourn ment the delegates will have done their work so faithfully and well that there will be no occasion for cavil. It is to be expected that the friends of some whose aspirations led them to hope for a nomination will be disappointed, and that their disappointment will, for a time, lead them to say some hard things, and make ugly threats: It is also to be expected that .Democratic leaders and Democratic organs will cry Ring frauds, and say many other foo!i.-h things over the result, but such things are natural attendants upon the action of Republican Conventions, and should be looked for. The general result will be just what it should, be. Good, honest, reliabl men will be nominated for the positions to be filled, anil the end will be a triumphant election of the ticket nominated, in October next. This has been the experience of the party from its beginning, and there is no reason why we should expect any other result now. TilEltE arc five thousand miners in the Lehigh region.

Asia not being a wheat consumer, and the freight to the consuming districts of the iNorthcast United States makin the market an unprofitable one to the Pacific coast (ihe grain goes around the Horn in sailing vessels), and the lack of popula tion on that coast giving but a trifling home demand. Thus, with a wheat product hardly more than a fifteenth of the annual consumption of the ITn.A,l States, California affords half of our wheat exports. The great market of thc llnnor Mississippi valley is in tha United States, aud only its secondary market in Europe. An increas ; ,,.
