Ocn Next Congressman. Wo observe that a number of papers in this - district have recommended John B. Packer, Esq., of this place, as our next candidate for Con. grc9s'. This is not surprising, and wo think we are fully Justified in enyi or? that a largo majority of the voters in this district are decidedly in favor of Mr. Packer's nomina- tion. mis was in rcn.iiv iub uneo JCa. -a,. Va aV- A .na.M 1 ago, whon tho delegates of Dauphin ana r Northumberland counties were instructed for him. Thcso two counties contain nearly two thirds of the population of the district, but wero represented by only four delegates, while Union, Snyder and Juniata, with a much less population, had ix delegates. But it must not be supposed that Mr. Packer is not popular in .the last named counties. He has many warm friends in Union and Juniata, and we are inclined to think very nearly, if not quite a majority in Snyder. Juniata has already had the candidate and. failed, and cannot complain. Union has. had tho member already two terms, and would not, of courso, seriously aBk for a . third, contrary to all rule. Snyder county lias no candidate, and Dauphin is so well satisfied with Mr. Packer that he will have little or uo opposition. -Somo of tho leading Democrats of that connty even go so far as to declare that they will present no candi date, if Mr. Packer should receive tho nomi nation of his party. : ' ' . That Northumberland county is fairly and justly entitled to the nomination, can hardly be questioned, and when she presents a can didate so entirely unexceptionable, or rather, we should say, acceptable, as Mr. Packer, wo can scarcely doubt the result oil his nomination. Gtiant and Colfax. Iri another column will be found tho letter of acceptance of Gen. Grant, aud also that of Mr. Colfax. Oen. Grant's is short, explicit and to the point. He cays very truly that the issues of to-day may bo changed in a few years, and often aro during a Presidential term. He nays ho will at -.all limes carry .out the w ill- of tho people, and that will be the prin ciplo of action that will govern his adminib tration. Mr. Colfax's letter is worthy of his char ter and reputation. . Mr. Colfax is a model statesman, and the record of whoso life is a guarantee that he will not disappoint those who elect him Provision has been made for the conver sion by the .Treasury Department, of the seven-thirty bonds falling duo in June and July. The department is now prepared to reteive seven-thirty Treasury notes falling due June IS and July 15, 1S08, and ex change them for bonds dated either July 1, 1667, or July 1, 1888; as parties may desire. The terms of conversion are sufficiently simple to be easily understood by all. The interest on both series of notes will be al lowed up to July 1, and the bonds issued in exchange will bear interest from that date Tu Excelmoh Okoan.

LAddrees from Ihc Cliali-ninn of the 1 " State Central Committer. PniLADKLPniA, May 27, 1808, To the Voters of Pennsylvania 1 he lNatioonl convention . of the Republi can party, wita a unanimity and enthusiasm unprecedented, bns nominated candidates for President and Vice President and . an nounced the principles upon which they ap peal to the peoplo for support. As to: tho individuals selected no word of commenda tion is necessary. Their deeds form a part ot tu history ot tne country. Iso matter who the candidates in opposi tion may be, they must represent an organ ization tnat was unlaitlilul to tne country in the hour of its direst peril and false to liberty and the rights of man. . For four years tho Republic shook with the tread of nrmcd men in a struggle to determine whether the will of the majority constitutionally expressed should.bo tho law of tho land till changed in tho mode prescribed by the organic low. In that struggle three thousand millions of treasure were wasted three hundred thousand hero mtirtyrs found in our ransomed Boil their graves, and sorrow sits to day at almost every fireside, mourning the , unrcturning brave. , This waste of treasuro and legacy of woe was caused by the mmority.in a fair election, refusing to submit to the will of the majo rity constitutionally expressed.. Suspended on tho issuo hung the lifo of the Republic ana the hopes ot mao&ind. . I be only political organization to give aid, sympathy, and encouragement to that minority, in its atteuip to dismember the Republic and. thus distroy our liberties was the party calling itself Democratic. At its last National Convention, while a half mil lion of meu were in arms for tho overthrow of tho Government, it declared the war for the Union a failure, and demanded an inv mediately cessation of hostilities. "We wero asked to spike our gun: when the foe wai at bay, And the rags of Mack banner wero dropping away ; To tear down the proud natoo our nation hud iron; And strike her bravo biri from hid home in the tuu Had tbo policy of the Democratic parly been successful, the genious of impartial history would have written -on the tomb stone of the present generation an epitaph of indelible infamy and endless disgrace that it preferred the Republic should the rather than endure tho sacrifices necessary for it to live. The men and tho party thai saved tho Government in war can preserve and pro tect it in peace. The great captain of the age will lead the loyal hosts of tho Republic to victory in November next, as ho lead its armies at Donclson, Yicksburg, and Appo matox Court House. Republicans of tho Keystone State, effi cient organizution secures certain victory. Your party in its infancy saved the Terri tories, of the Union from the blight and curte of human bondage, and consecrated them forever in free homes for free men. In its early manhood it has grappled and crush ed the most gigantic conspiracy ever form ed for the destruction of liberty and free government. Treachery of public servants or npostacy of trusted leaders cannot stay its onward march. - With truth and justice for weapons, and the hearts of the people for a bulwark, if true to yourselves, a certain and glorious victory awaits you.

Urnnts Inciter of Acceptance. Wasiunqton. D. C,t May 29, 1808.-To General Joseph It. llawley, Prcsidont of the National Unjon, Republican Convention : Informally accepting the nomination of the National, Union Republican Convention iof the 81st of MaJ instant, It seems; proper 4bat some statement of views, beyond the mete accepsance-of the nomination, should be el pressed. The proceedings of tho Conven tion were marked with wisdom, moderation and patriotism, and, I believe, expresatho feelings of the great mass of thoso who sus tatued the icountry through its recent trials. - I Indorse their resolutions; and, if elected to the office of President of the United States, It will be my endeavor to adminis ter all the laws in good faith, with economy and with the view of giving .peace, quiet and protection everywhere. In times like the present it is impossible, or at least emi nently improper to lay down aolicy to be adhered to, right or wrong, through an ad ministration of four years. : : J r- - New political issues not foreseen are con stantly arising, the-views of. the public in old ones are constantly changing, and ft purely administrative officer, should always be left free to execute the will of the peoplo. I always have respected that will, and Always shall. Peace, and universal prosperity itl sequence, with economy of administration, will lighten the burden of taxation while it constantly reduces tho national debt. Let us have peace.' With great respect,' your obedient servant, U. S. Grant. lion. Nchuyler Colfax4 letter ol' Acceptance. Washington, May 50, 1868. non. J. R. Hawlev. Prpsidrnt nf tlm Kntinn.il ITninn Republican Convention.'-Dear Sir: Tho platform adopted by the patriotic Conven tion over which you presided, and tho reso lutions which so happily supplement it, so entirely agree with my views as to a just national policy, that my thanks arc due to the delegates ns much for this clear and suspicious declaration of principles as for 1. . !...!-.- t.l. f 1 1 hid iiuiniiiauou wun wuicn I novo ueeu honored, and which I gratefully accept. When a great rebellion which imperilled the national 'existence was at Inst over thrown, the duties of all others, devolving on those intrusted with the responsibilities of legislation, evidently was, to require that tho revolted States should bo admitted to participation in. the government ngainst which they had warred, only on such a basis as to increase and fortify, not to weaken or endanger the strength and power of tho nation. Certainly no one ought to have claimed that tbey should be readmitted under such rule ; that their organization as States could ever again bo used, as at tho opening of the war, to defy the national .authority or to destroy the national unity. This priaciplo has been the polar star of those who havo inflexibly insisted on the Congressional po licy your Convention so cordially indorsed. Baffled by Executive opposition and persis tent refusals to accept any plan - of .recon struction proffered by Congress, justice and public ssrety at Inst combined to teach us that only by an enlargement of suffrage in those States could the desired end bo at tained; and that it was even- moro safe to givo the ballot to those who loved the Union than, those who had sought ineffectually to destroy it. The assured success of this legis lation is being written in the adamant of history, and will be our triumphant virdi cntinn. More clearly, too, than ever before, does the nation recognize that the greatest glory of a republic is, that it throws the Bhicld of its protection over tho humblest and the weakest of its people, nnd vindicates the rights of the poor and the powerless as faithfully as those of the rich and the pow erful. I rejoice, too, in this connection, to find in your platform tho frank and fearless avowal that naturalized citizens must be protected abroad at every hazard, as though they were native born. Our whole people aro foreigners, or de scendants of foreigners. Our fathers estab lished by arms their right to be called a na tion, It remains for us to establish tho right to welcome to our shores all who are willing, by oaths of allegiance, to become Americau citizens. . Perpetual allegiance, ns ( claimed abroad, is only another mime for perpetual bondage, and would make all slaves to tho soil where first they saw the light. Our national cemeteries prove how faith fully these oaths of fidelity, to their adopt ed land, have been sealed in the lifo blood ot thousand upon thousands, bhould wc not then be faithless to the dcud if wo did not protect their living brethren ill the full cujo incut of that nationality for which, side by tide with thifc native born, our sol diers of foreign birth luid down their lives. Il was fitting, too, that the representatives of a party which bad proved so true to na tional duty in time of war should upeak so clearly in time of peaco for the mauteuaucc, untarnished, of the. uational honor, national credit and good faith as regards its debt the cost of our national existence. I do not need to extend this reply by further com ment ou a platform which has elicited such hearty approval throughout the land. The debt of gratitude it acknowledges to tho brave men who saved tho Union from de struction ; tho frank approval of amnesty based on repentance and loyal. The demand for the most thorough econo my and honesty in the government j tho sympathy of the party of libertywe here enjoy, and the recognition of tho sublimcst principles of the Declaration of Independ ence, are worthy of the organization on whose banners they are to be written iu thf coming contest Its past record cannot bo blotted out or forgotten. If there had been no Republican party, slavery would to-day cost its baleful shadow over tho Republic. . If there bad been no Republican, party, a free press and free speech, would be as un known from the Potomac to the Rio Grande as ten years ago. If the Republican party could have been stricken from existcuce when the banner of Rebellion was unfurled, and when the response of no coercion was heard at tho North, wa would have had Do nation to-day. But for the Republican par ty daring to risk the odium of tax and draft laws, our flag could not havo bceu kept fly ing in the field till the long-hoped for vic tory came.-. . Without a Republican party tho Civil Rights bill, the guarantee . of equality under the law to the humble and the defenseless as well as to the strong, would not be to-day upon our oational statute book. With- in spirations from tho past, and : following the examplo of the founders of the Republic, who called the victorious General of the Revolution to preside over the land bis tri umphs had saved from Its enemies, I cannot doubt that our labors will be crowned with succes, and it will bo a success that shall bring restored hope, confidence, prosperity and progress South as well as North, West, as well as East, and above all,- the blessings under providence of national concord and peace.

Hon. James Buchanan, the 16th President of the United States, and one ot the distin guished statesman of a past age, died at his residence tit Whbatland, near this city, at aboyt half-past eight o'clock this morning. The immediate cause of his death was drop sy of the Cheat.. About a fortnight ago, he had been .very ill, but In a conversation with bis brother,. Rev. Edw.Buchaosn, " we understood that bo had so much improved as to be considered out of danger i and, in deed, such an announcement had been pub licly made by friends, who had visited him, and we had not heard of any unfavorable change nntil the announcement of his death. Mr. Buchanan was born In Franklin coun ty, Pcnnsylvania. on the 22d of April, 1791, and had therefore entered, upon .the 78th year of his age. nis father had - emigrated from Irelnnd, but his mother was the daugh ter of a Pennsylvania farmer.- The father, by untiring industry, was enabled to give his son a good classical education, and he graduated at Dickinson College, Carlisle, in 1800, with the highest honors of his class. In the same year he commenced the ' study of law with James Hopkins, Esq., and was admitted to the bar in 1812,' having then barely attained his majority. His success as a lawyer was such, that at the age of 40 he was enabled to retire from practice ; and it is stated that only on one occasion could he subsequently bo induced to appear at tho bar, and that was to defend the rights of a widow whose little property was threaten ed with an action of ejectment. 1 Mr. Buchanan was a member of the State Legislature at tho age of 23, and elected to Congress in tho year 1820. In 1825 he was one of the Managers chosen to prosecute in the celebrated Peck impeachment case. ; At the close of his fifth term, in 1831, Mr. Bu chanan withdrew from Congress,but was soon after chosen, by President Jackson, as Min ister to Russia. On bis return from Russia, in 1833, be was elected to tho United States Senate, where he remained until appointed Secretary of State by President Polk. At the close of Mr. Polk's administration, Mr. Buchanan retired to private life, where he remained until appointed by President Pierce, as Minister to England. ' Ho return ed to the, United States in April. 1856. Moat of our readers will recollect the enthu siastic reception given him by our citizens, at tne locomotive works, where ho debark ed from the train. In June following bo was unanimously nominated at Cincinnati, as the Democratic candidate for the Presi dency, and was elected, receiving 174 elec toral votes from 19 States. Tho political events which followed are still fresh in the minds of the peoplo, and some of the bearings of political questions arising under his administration being still unsettle, the timo has not yet come for an impartial judgment of his motives and con duct as a public man. We commit these to the pen of impartial history. Lancaster Ex press. rito.ti WASIIIUTO. Xlie Rejection of Stnnbery. Washington, June C. Tho Senato bad an Executive session this afternoon, lasting over an hour, during which Mr. Stanbcry's nomination was thoroughly discussed and severely handled by Mr. Willcy, who charg ed that he was far worse than President Johnson, as ho had always .advised him to go to a greater extent in his excesses than he had ventured to do. and that to confirm such a man would be to grant most unlimi ted license to Mr. Johnson to renew his out rages upon tho laws and Constitution. On the voto being taken, the nomination was rejected by 20 to It. It is understood that the minority voters arc Senators Buckalcw, Doolitlle, Fowler, Henderson, Hendricks, Johnson, M'Creery, Patterson of Tennessee, Ross, SherniAii and Vickera. Messrs.

THE TAX BILL la going to have a very hard time of it, with the chauccs against its final passage this session, ns nearly every section is develop ing more or less opposition or diversity of opinion. It i9 hardly probablu that the House will agree to an isolated bureau, and maka its bead ubsolute, with power of re moval and appointments, as tho President can suspend that head as soon as Congress adjourns, and thus seize upon tho entire patronage himself.
