For Auditor General,

OF HEAVER COUNTY.
For KnrTC er General,
ROltEKT II. HEATH,
OF PCntJYLKILI. COUNTY.
The meeting of the State central commit-
tco at Alloona on Wednesday of last week,
was largely attended, some sixty members
being present. The accounts of the political
filiation in all quarters of tho Stato was
most encouraging. Tho election of Stanton
and renth, is beyond -question. Only a
thorough organization Is needed, and this
under the management of Us able aud ex
perienced chairman of tho committee we
are certain to have. Tho committee complc'
tod if s organization Tjy the election of Messrs
Houston and Lukcns of Philadelphia, and
Lytic of Huntingdon ns Secretaries, and
Gen. H. II. Uingham as Treasurer. Mr.
Errott was authorized to appoint au ad
ditional Secretary. The Headquarters of
tlio Committee will shortly bo established
in Philadelphia, and a vigorous campaign
will be at once inaugurated.
Vk notice that tho Northumberland Co.
Democrat has closed on all independent
candidates, aud rtfuscs to publish the enrds
of uiiy unless they nre nominees. Tao cut-
tor c'aims that his puperis the organ of tho
I). locratic party, and that ho cannot pub
!.; anything uukss that party gives con
pti.t. This is rather rough on Democrats
who nre swindled out of nominations, and
M .fti are denied the privilege of announcing
nc-.-iseives as candidates through tlio very
: that looks to theni for support. Lifo
J-in- Democrats will learn by this that their
money spent l'ur a newspaper lo support
th i: jirinciplcs, has not been spent for the
' ,'11. tit t-f tin: lucmljcrs of tho party general
!; . but fur a few who may be selected as cau
.i ulaK-s by a convention established through
:-ud und corruption. Those who nre dis
e listii d with the fraudulent mode of nom
inafi r? candidates, will now have to make
up tli.ir minds to swallow the dose without
ni'i'-.-uriug before they nre recoguized by
t 'wf former democratic fiiouds, and before
i'xy nre pcrmiUed to ask favors from their
party or,nn. AVe suppose that the course

Democrats, what do you think of tho
change ?
Tiivr j?04,000. It is very evident now
that the County Commissioners are deter
mined to make the best of it this year. Last
year they had over 93,000 to work on, aud
the present year it will probably go a thou
sand or two higher. Tho amount reported
by tho County Auditors for 1870, was un
collected taxes for 1S0& and previous years,
fM9,633 00. The amount of tax levied for
1870 is 55,019 43, mak'nig altogether $05,
053 -1 2. Of this amount they report S54,
tol M expended and 841,151 21 in the
bauds of favorite collectors. After having
this largo amount on hand they tell us that
the county is indebted 27,575 70, ou which
liiu-ivht is paid, while the oulstanding taxes
how no interest. For 1871 wo learn tint
n tax of 7 mills has been levied, and as tho
valuation on property is much higher than
previous years, it will run the taxes up to
tilxmt $5o,0u0 00, which with tho 41,402,
-I outstanding will mako the snug sum o

tiie selection of the new 'member of the
Republican State Central Committee from
this county may bo proper enough so farns
tho person is concerned, but tho manner
may bo regarded as somewhat objectiona
ble. At tue opening ot a campaign oi
such importance as the ono we nre about
entering, to be followed by a momentous
Presidential campaign, a selection oi sucn
consequence as that of member of the State
Central Committee should have been known
to more than two or thrco poisons. It
looks disrespectful to the many for several
to take tho cntiro management of such an
affair without even a word of consultation.
Ilesides tho monopoly of two important po
sitions in tho party organization of tho
countv. looks nlf tlicro was only one man
capablo of running tho machine. Sunbury
liazcttc.
The above extract looks ns though our
neighbor was disposed to bo jealous of our
position. As it lias always been the cus
torn for tho Delegates to tho State Conven
tion to namo tho member for tho State Ccn
tral Committee, wo prcsumo tho delegates
at tho last convention concluded to perform
their duly as has been customary, similar
to the appointment of our neighbor to that
position some years ago, except that ho SO'
licited tho position. At the lato conven
tion wo had no idea who would be named,
as we did not solicit tho place, nor did it
concern us, ns wo had implicit confidence
in the delegates as to who, in their judg'
ment, should bo the member from this
county ; nor did we think it worth while to
consult them on tho subject, knowing that
but few persons were willing to serve in
that capacity, as it is a position altogether
of honor, if any honor !b attached lo it
When we were informed that wo had been
chosen, wo felt inclined to decline, and it
was only through the earnest solicitation of
some of tho most prominent members of
the Republican party that we accepted, and
then only because no one else was known
to be willing to serve (the editor of the Ga
zette included,) without 'pay." As wo
have served the party in acapacily similar to
it, wo have concluded to continue to serve
them in any position whatever, in which it
it is thought wo can effect good to the
Republican cause, whether our neighbor of
tho Gazette is consulted and gives his con
sent or not.
Probably it may be 'gratifying to tho del
egates attending the lato convention to
know that their action is not only approved
by the members of the party, but also by
the press in this vicinity, in proof of which
we copy the following notices :
We are pleased to learn that Ein'l. Wil
vcrt, editor of the Sunbury .American has
been appointed the Member for this county
of tho Republican Stato Central Committee.
No better selection could have been made.
Mr. Wilvert has been chairman of the
County Committee for a number of years,
aud is thoroughly conversant with the
work to be performed, and fully competent
to discharge tho duties appertaining to tho
position. Millonian.
AVe last week omitted to mention the ap
pointment of Emanuel Wilvert of tho l)iic
riVan as member of the Republican State
Central Committee for this county. Mr.
Wilvert is a zealous worker, and has tho
experience and qualifications necessary to
make him nn efficient member of that body.
We regard tho appointment ns a good one,
and we believe it gives pretty general satis
filluiiury American, has been appointed
member of tho State Central Committee,
from Northumberland rnnnt.v t .7e
e' copy the following from tho Demo
cratic Guard, of this week, to show what
opinion our opponents have of the selection.
The Guard says :
"The republican convention of this State
made a good selection when they placed
Eru'l Wilvert, of tho -ilmm'cau, on the Statu
Central Committee, lie is active, aud one
of the most industrious republicans iu the
county, nnd it is an evidence- that the dele
gates understood their business at least in
this matter when they placed him in that
position. Although Mr. Wilvert, politically,
is opposed to us to the bitter cud, yet vu
cau not help doing him justice when he
deserves it.
as
The Columbus (Ga.) Sun likens tho
"New Departure" to tho "Barn-burner"
movement of 1S48. It will bo remembered
that on tho nomination of Lewis Cass in
that year, a portion of the Northern Demo
cracy seceded from tlio oganizatiou and
set up a scparato ticket with Mr. Vim
liurean at its head. Their avowed object
was to reform tho Democratic party aud
purge it of its bad material. Some wag
likened their courso to that of the farmer
who set firo to his barn to kill off tho rats,
and the title "Ham burners"-stuck ever
after to them. Tho Sim says that tho "idea
of adopting a Radical platform to elect a
Democratic President U as sensible ns
burning down a house to clean, it or fleas."
The Reading Journal says tho disagree
ments which picvuil iu some districts of the
Stato last year among Republicans seem to
bo arranged ami the prospect for a harmon
ious aud united party at the coming election
is promising. Iu strong old Alleghany
last year our friends wero much divided.

WHAT MEEK SAYS.
Meek, of tho Bollcfonte Watchman, la
not what his name would imply. lie Is a
man of a different sort bold, aggressive
and defiant. He won't swallow the ninth
resolution of tho Democratic platform; and
on that subject he taken is'suo with the Pa
triot, for whocs special benefit we copy
from the Watchman tho following.
Our friends of the Ilarrisburff Patriot,
who are ccncrallv richt. still keen telling
of tho croat nood that 18 to come to tho
jJcmooralie party irom mo adoption ot
tliat meaningless mntn resolution in tne
Democratic nlatform. We have heretofore
given tho editors of tho Patriot credit for
P.i i ., . . i . i. i - 1 1. .. : -
" Knowing a imug or iwo," uui, muee men
continuous assertions about the crcat bene
fits that aro to bo derived from the passage
ol that resolution, we nave come to uio
conclusion thnt they know ns littlo about
thn real feelings of the Democratic masses
as it ls possible for men in their situation
to know, i.1 inoy win sunmn, meir umui
resolution to a decision of tho Democratic
voters of tho State, out of the three hundred
thousand, not five thousand can be got to
vote for it; and tho sooner they open their
eyes to tlio lact tliat tncir cuoris to crowu
it down our throats as a "good thing," au
"excellent move," is only creating moro
dissatisfaction and disguRt, the better it
will lie for the cause for which we all labor.
The Patriot had better place this matter
among its "dead issues.
The same Meek in the same number of
tho Watchman repudiates tho Idea of tho
Democratic parly favoring negro cuffrnge.
Ho says:
We assert, nnd defy contradiction, that
there aro not ono hundred Democrats in
tho three hundred thousand within tho
borders of tho Commonwealth in favor of
conferring the elective franchise upon the
negro.
Aud ho closes the article with this em
phatic language:
The Democratic party, then, does not
desire tho negro vote.
It desires aud will accept no political aid
from the negro.
It says to him "Hands off!"
Tho Democratic party ever has been and
by tho grace of God will continue to be
"Tho white man's party."
The same Meek, in au article on the
subject of JcffDavis and his recent speeches,
speaks out boldly and to tho point like a
brave aud true Democrat. Ho says:
Jeff. Davis would be a craven hearted
coward to wrap himself up in any excuse
that would prevent him from appearing
before the people when they want to see
nnd hear hiin. Tho truth in regard to the
real condition of the country now, is more
likely to fall from his lips than from those
of and other living man, and it's the truth
the people want, doLU North and South.
They have had falsehood nnd deception
enough let them have a copious draught
from tho fountain of truth, bitter and
nauseous though it be.
AVo trust Mr. Davis will continue to talk
whenever he is asked. He has an undoubt
ed right to, and infinitely better able to
talk correctly than any man in the Radical
party. We nre not apprehensive that any
evil result will follow his counsels. On the
contrary, we look for much good to flow
from them.
Jefferson Davis is a patriot, a scholar
and a statesman. If he may not talk to
the people, who may?
Circalute the Pnpcrtt.
Tho political campaign we have fairly

obtained without very hard work. All
must be up antl doing ; each must contri-
bulu his share of labor in bringing about
the desired triumphant result. Tho nennln
should be educated up to the importance of
tne canvass, anu tne grave issues involved.
In no better way can this bo dono than by
circulating good and true Republican jour
nals iu every district. A reading com
munity generally, if not invariably vote
correctly through conviction and not
jiartizan prejudice. Let each citizen then,
interested in tho welfaro of his nation nnd
the success of our ticket next fall, make
proper exertion to have placed in the hands
of his neighbors a good Republicanjourn.il,
which will faithfully record the progress of
the campaign, and constantly nnd consci
entiously advocate the principles of the
great and powerful Republican party and
at the same time expose tho fallacious and
dangerous doctrines of tho opposition.

Opkntno of tub Presidential Cam
paign in Baltimore, Md. Wo received
the proceedings of a large meeting held in
Baltimore, Md., on Friday of last WK-k, to
organize a Grant and Cameron club of the
State of Maryland. S. 8. Blair, Esq., was
chosen permanent President of tho club.
After the organization, on motion, the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions, offered by
Thomas B. Price, Esq., and seconded by
J. Lawrence Rightmyef, Esq., wero unan
imously adopted :
Whereas, Harmony in tho vital cle
ment of party organization, and factious
dissensions its banc, any movement which
infuses Btrcngth to Its energies, reassures
the lukewarm, invigorates nnd reawakcus
the indifferent, and presents a common pur
pose for its unity and success, promotes
peace and nchicves victory.
.And lihercas, at this juncture such a
movement to thoso who have hereby form
ed and organized an association to bo
known ns the "Grant and Cameron Club"
of tho Stato of Maryland, with head quar
ters In Baltimore, seems opportune and im-
nortant :
jina u-ncrens, ibis association socks in no
way to interfere with any State or city
organization, in which the party has impos
ed its faith, nevertheless ita purpose is
plainly made known, and its choice unalte
rable, until tho National Convention ac
cepts or rejects it.
Whereas, It being no purpose of this as
sociation 'to ndvanco a dogma, invent a
"new departure," or to vary or vex the set
tled principles of the party, It will patiently
await the platform to be pre .cribed ns tho
party's creed detailed by tho National
Convention, and will subscribe to aud
abide its behests. But as a choice in ad
vance of the standard bearers of the party
a choice to which thousands will "rally
once again" and to urge that choice vigo
rouslv and pointedly, as eminently the pro
per one for the party throughout tho cou .-
try, and pre-eminently mat oi tne itcptiD-
henns ot Maryland, tins club is lormea, nuu
binds itself to hold its organization intact
from this date, and to -abor with earnest
will and sincere devotion ; aud, therefore,
be it
llcsokcd. That this association, as tho
parent organization of the State, mak s
known its unqualified preference ; its
choice without au "if" or "but," "prefix"
or "nfilx." for the Hon. U. S. Grant for
President of tho United States in 1872, and
gives voice to the will of a large majority of
the American people.
Resolved. That this declaration gratifies
nn eager justice to the merits of a great sol
dier, who from tho first gun, fought, and
ncliting. won the nation's peace ; mat it
nccords appreciation to nn administration
closing with signal honors, replete witn dc-
tielits to tho people, redounding to his coun
try's fame, and stamps the gratitude which
sueu a cnoice wu. mnnuest,as a sinning vir
tue of the Republic.
Itcsohcd. That this Association makes
known its m'cfcrcnc. nnd invests its choice
with all the pledges of its organization, for
the J Ion. Nmon Cameron, ot renusyiva'
nia. for Vice President of the United States
in 1872, nnd bespeaks not less than its first
choice tho will ol the majority ot tno .me
rican neonlp.
liesolied, That tins declaration promi
nently presents the claims of nn eminent
statesmau ; eminent not alono in tho Coun
sels of tho Nation, but marked in tlio re
cord of its trials and tribulations ns tho
foremost nnd most active of its defenders.
Itesohcd, Tho financial skill nnd ability
of Simon Cameron gave tho war for the
Union its sinews and nerve ; nourished its
vigor and secured Us victories from the bc-
ennnmsr.
cSte SviC'? .siViigS
ncss of a Stato ; fleeted him by consent as
tho foremost patron of internal improve
ments, has made his name synonymous
with tho progress of the ace.
llesolved. That to Maryland Republicans
the namo of Simon Cameron is peculiarly
acceptable, not alone within tho ranks of
the party, but attracts adherents outside,
ns identified with its best interests, and al
lied to the State's prosperity.
Iicioh-ed, That this association cordially
invites to its meaiberaiip and co-operation
nil who will subscribe to thcharmonv of
tho party; who will alopt tho rules of tho
association ; who will abide bv its nrrn,ii.
zatiou; but iu nothing cither from fear or
favor, will it abate one jot from the motive,
choice and purposes ofits origin.
On motion, ndjourntd at tho call of tho
