Death is agaiu busy with our great men
It is but a week since we announced and
enrumentei upon the death of ex-President
Fillmore, and now the country is bowed in
grief over the death of another who has oc
cupied a large space in the history of the
country and in the affections of its people.
Senator Sumner is dead. Ripe iu experience,
vipe in all that makes a man great in the eyes
of a nation, ripe io his love of liberty not tor
himself alone, ripe in scholarly wisdom and
true statesmanship, at a time when he cqulJ
least be spared and in years which but better
fitted him for the station which he had so
lone honored "he gathered the drapery of his
romh around him," and entered upon the
j-iurr.oy to that undiscovered country from
whence no traveler returns followed by the
regrets and tears of the nation.
In his career in the Senate, Senator Suir
M?r has proved himself a more than worthy
Muveesor of even the great Webster. The
records of the last twenty years prove him to
have had but one oliect in view, and that
t lie noble one of securing the greatest pos
t-iii'e good for his country. Iu his every act
from his advocacy of the freedom of the
i.ave down to his latest vote, this was plainly
apparent. Men may have differed with him
jirid men may have hated him tor the sup
posed extremity of his views and method?
but no one for a moment doubted his honesty,
or believed but that his every act was promp
ted by the honest "convictions of his large
h?ar' ; and to-day those who once despised
him are most earnest in their praises of the
man and their regrets that he was so early
-ind so suddenly cut from his usefulness here.
Tut he has gone. Man proposes but God
:i."poses, and we can but bow in meek sub
mission to that Allwise Power, which for
sotne good purpose, doubtless, has seen fit
iins to afiliet us.
Senator Sumner's talents and wisdom and
t-xperience were the gloried property of the
whole country, and it is meet that the whole
country should mourn his death.
3As an independent Editor and publish
r r our neighbor of the Democrat does not
prove himself a complete success. Like the
im which needs the services of friend
Xieuest to correct its faults, he goes off half

Ingaround promiscuously, producing a havoc

1. 1 proved his experience in many instances
y.u -e his advent among us, and it is surpris
ing that he really makes no show of learn
ing wisdom from hiscxpcrier.ee. The politi-
i A history of this county for the last three
or four years, faithfully and truthfully writ-
f .-.n, would show that we indulge no exaggera
tion in what we say in this recard. lie has
often independantly advocated matters which
jrickcd some one of his political brethren to
the extent of inducing an interview one
week, and the very next week has swallowed
that independence by humbly singing dumb,
or abjectly taking Lack all that Le has said,
if not openly advocating a contrary view.
Look at his editoral conduct during the
lat and previous Congressional campaign,
lie advocated Burnet's claims one week and
jtonu the next, and alternated so rapidly in
di.-p'aying and hiding his manly independ
ence, as to become so bewildered that lie was
compelled, in order to preserve his mental
eqiUiibrum, at last to settle dowu into a
perfect nonentity in the contest.
Look again at his conduct of the Senator
ial and Representative contest At thecom
inrneement of each be appeared as independ
ent as a chimney sweep, only to draw hi3
bead within his shell, and leave his friends
to fght the campaign as listlessly and as
h-ilently as though the Democrats had no
organ to cheer its cohorts on to victor-.
Look at his conduct last fall. lie was ter-
riCically independent in his onslaughts on
Carbon's presumption in claiming the Repre
pontativQ, and yet how truckulently he yiel
ded to the songs of Carton's Sirens, and left
his Monroe brethren to fight the battle alone
until the day before the election, when he
was forced to stand by his work to the extent
of issuing an extra, advocating the claims
of Monroe county and the election of Mr.
Kistler, as her representative.
And now look at his last fiasco. In the
Norton's he thought he had proper subjects
upon which to display an overwhelmirg in
dependence. The result is before us. With
out satisfying himself of the truths in the
case he grabbed up and published everything
that came in his way to belittle and beslime
them. And what was the result? What
but another backing down, or what amount
to the same thing a burying of his indepen
dence in an abject, begging appeal to his
friends to stand by him in his day of suppos
ed tribulation ; a flourish over "We follow
Democratic principles where they point the
way," &c, and a call upon the party to stand
by that organ which has so often through
cowardice proved so faithless to them. True
he flings a fling at two prominent men of
his party Simon Fried and Charles S
Detrick and insinuates against the honesty
of some seventy-five others, Republicans and
Democrats, who condemned his unwarranted
course, but his fling is the fling of impo
tence, and his pitiful appeal but another
evidence of the truth of our assertion, that
as an independent Kditor our neighbor of
our Democrat is not a complete success.
S&" Thomas J. IIam7 editor and proprie
tor of the Wayne County Herald, has re
ceived the nnaimous nomination for Repre
sentative, of the Pike and Wayne Represen
tative District, to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the resignation of the llonoruble William
Il. Dimmick. In accepting the nomination,
he says he "accepts the honor conferred up
on him with an oppressive sense of his
incompetence to meet creditnUy the require
ments of the position for which he has been
named, but with im misgiving as to his desire
and ability to discharge them honestly and
with fidelity, should the voters of the district
sec fit to ratify his nomination by an elec
tion."
Why so silent on the interrogatories .put
by the Kaston Argus of last week for your
consideration, Thomas ?
J&iy Copper is now made successfully in
Pennsylvania, and from ores found within
the State. We have long been prominent in
the production of coal. With the copper in
dustry recently established, our State may
well boast of its mineral and metal produc
tion. Yet the other States have no reason
to be envious. Many of them have eqia
advantages in respect of iniucral deposits,
and tha same tariff protects all alike.
