Wo placo at the head f our columns to-day the nomina tions mado on Tuesday last, by the Repub licans of Northumberland county. Tlio convention which settled this ticket was Iho largest ever held in thi9 county. Every diotrict was represented by men of the highest character; mcu of influence as well lis intelligence. The proceedings wero in in nil respects of tho most harmonious character. This full attendance of our best men in tho county, was observed and acknowledged by our opponents. It shows tho nnxious desiro of tho citizens to placo the control of our couuty nflairs in tho hands of men who arc not connected with that clement that !b aspir ing to rule or ruin, nud place in oflicc thoso who recoguizo frauds and low trickery to gain positions to bleed Hie taxpayers out of their hard earnings. It is also a com mendable fact, that many Democrats who see the condition of things are just as anx ious for a reform as the Republicans, and watched tho proceedings with the greatest interest, knowing that upon its actiou there rested the only hope of bringing about a reformation. Tho ticket as far as nomi nated gives general satisfaction. The candidates being all good and reliable cili y.cns, Republicans of high standing and merits ; each of whom will do honor to iho position to which tho preference of the fellohr citizens, regardless of party, will un doubtedly call them at tho October elec tion. Tjat part of tho ticket which is left open, Will civo tho honest Democrats of the coun ty a goo opportunity to select their best men to run .vam8t the ticket nominated by tho most glurii,,.fruUugcvcr perpetrated in this county, thereby ,vu,g tho county from being disgraced by recognizing cor ruptions in its worst form. The campaign now being-fairly opened it behooves all good citizei a to enter on tho dischargo of their duty with determination to defeat wrong, and show their preferences urU devotions to the principles of right.

Ry the above we judgo the editor is op .osed to the ninth plank of tho platform, as laid down by tho lata Democratic State Convention, and is making dissensions in the party himself by not adhering to its principles. A gravo question will arise us to which arc true Democrats, those who dhc to the platform, or theso dissenting as tho editor docs himself. A Democratic friend at our elbow thinks, that as this edi tor was crying duriug tho lato war "vote lor daddy," and succeeded at that time in his election to office, ho would like to re jieat it under similar circumstances. 'Democratic county officers and a iVmiocratic Court," to prevent Lite enforce inent of tho laws. Can anything be more leckless in journalism. Truly wo have lullou on strange limcE.when a Democratic editor, who sustains an udmittcd fraudu lent ticket, boldly asks honest men to elect partisan Judges and county ollicials for tho express purpose of preventing tho execu tion of the laws. A VERY important movement has been inaugurated in Schuylkill couuty, led by the Hon. Francis W. Hughes, in favor of nn independent judicial ticket. As mat ters stand, tho whole beuch of that great county U in tlie handa of the bogus Demo cracy, with the exception of Hon Henry W.

The bogus Democrats havin" nominated one of their own school.a noteU politician of twenty-live years' standiii" for this important post, tho gentlemen or the bar, represented by Mr. Hughes, havo resolved to insist upon a representation of ti e Republican minority, and on Monday evening last had a large meeting, at which Hon. II. V. Cumniiugs, a very promiueut Democratic lawyer, presided. Mr. Ilu-hes took ground against the regular caudidute forjudge, and insisted upon the election of a Republican. The speech is said to have teen marked by all his best ability, and there is little doubt that this movement will Imve a wholesome effect upon the politics of hchuylkill. An Executive Committee, composed of men of both parties, was un pointed to call a convention for the purpose jf making a nomination. Till! llrti:T lA4it:it ! I Our free Republic has passed through threo terrific wars ; triumphantly through tho great war of the Rebellion and slavery, and saved tho sacred trust committed to it, of free Government. Tho greatest danger of nil is now coming fast upon us. A pow erful and mighty church, that claims to be abovo nil human Government; that no Government can exist on earth without be ing its slave, and hence that Kings and Emperors nnd Governors aro required to bow down in humillity nnd kiss tho too of tho Pope, asserts that it is abovo and high er than our Govcrmcnt, and that all its members owe their highest nllcgianco to tho Pope. This issuo is distinctly made, and hence free worship, which claims a free and open Riblo, tho hiyhest government to bo that of tho pcoplo and not of tho 1'ope, is the great object of hostility and hato of tho Pope nnd his church. Therefore it must bo put down, say tho Romanists, nnd hence tho riots nnd mobs, to crush it. No reflecting men can doubt tho designs of tho Popo and his church against tho lib erty of this country. Thcro plans nro si lently working. They depend on getting control of the ballot box, when this is ac complished, tho Government will fall into the power of tho Popo and his church, nnd then tho power of tho Government will bo directed to tho overthrow of free religion, nnd then will follow all tho cruelties and mnssacrees, and barbarous, and inhuman violenco that for centuries hns stained the history of a church that asserted such fearful power over tlie ouuiu uua uuai,0 vr men. Tho first victory of tho Popo and his church is in New York city. Tho first beginning of this power is now seen in m bs and violenco ngainst Protestants, and in frauds and corruption in Govern ment unsurpassed in tho history of tho world. This is only the beginning. Does any one doubt, that if tho Protestant popu lation of New York, all united, had not been strong enough to prevent it, that every man, who would havo turucd out in tho Protestant celebration, would havo been murdered, nil private property, homes and houses of Protestants burned and pil laged, churches destroyed, asylums and all free Printing offices torn down V This fearful church,by pol.tiea'. power, wo must meet and curb in this country, or it will put down the Republic and ill free reli gion, free lhought,frec press, free md speech. This is the great danger, that now threat ens us and our liberty, and wo must meet it. It is the great strngglo coming upon us. It is folly to shut our cyea. It must and will come. Let us bo prepared and meet it at tho ballot box in whatever shape it appears. It is thegrcat danger, more alarming than all that proceeded It. Gen. Rutler on the Laiior Ques tion. Gen.

Tlio uoncriu'g uioory is iiiui improvements in machinery enables tho laborer to do four times ns much work ns formerly, and that this all enures to tho capitalist and none to tlio laborer. His remedy is in substaucc, to reduce tho hours of labor in proportion, as machinery increases production, and that laws enact ed, which will give tho profits and advan tages of such machinery to tho laborers instead of tho manufacturers or capitalists according to this theory, if in ten years hence improvements in machinery doubled the capacity of workmen, then tho hours of labor should bo reduced from eight to four per day, without reduction of wages. Such aro tho absurdities of nearly all tho demagogues who discuss this question. Tho only true remedy for the laborers of this country, is a tariff that will protect them from competition with foreign pauper labor, and singularly enough Gen. Duller is opposed to this, tho only practical remedy- , Religious Toleration. The glory of our lrco Government is, that not only nro all men free and equal, but all churches, and nil denominations, and all religious, arc free and equal, whether Roman Catho lic, or Protestant, or Jew, or Mohammc den, or Pagan, or Infidel, all nro freo to worship God nccording to tho dictates of their cousciunco. While we guarantee to the Roman Catho lic church freedom to worship God as they wish, and all tho power to the Government is pledged to protect that church in their rights, nud while tho Protestant church wouiu rise up ns ouo man to protect the Roman Catholic church in its freedom to worship God, yet wo demand that they shall not in this free country, do as they have dono in Europe whero they have pow er, refuse to other churches nnd other re ligions, the right of freo worship. Tho battle to he fought with the Roman Catholic church in this country, is not iiuiiiM, meir creeu, or uimr laitn, or their religiou, but it is for religious freedom and toleration. Wo claim that tho Protestant, the Jew, tho Mohammadcn, tho Pagan, tho iufidel shall be left freo to worship according to tno dictates ot lueir conscience ami none to molest or make them afraid. Wo claim, that all churches and all denominations, and all religions shall be let alone. Mr. PolK5 "hand off," no inquisitions, no dun geons, no tortures, no burning of heretics, uo mobs, or riots. These arguments will not suit our freo country. We givo you freedom and we guarautco that to you, and wo ask that, and no more, for all other churches. "Religious Toleration." "lkbgioiw Free dom," is inscribed ou our banner. "Free dom to all churches, and to all men." Not one out of livo of tho Democratic county conventions now being held in this Statfl refer to tho "new departure." They dcepiso tho loyalty which it professes to assert, and hold In contempt those who re sort to such tricks to win votes. It is be. neath tho inpeuuity of tlioso who depend on the nice little operation of coUte-colorcd naturalization papers. i Father Hecker, a prominent Roman Priest, in Now York, asserts In tho church paper and on all public occasions that be fore tho end of this century this great na tion of ours will be as much under Roman Catholic rule, As Rome was, til) lately nindo free. In Rome, till within tho last two years, Protestant worship wns not allowed, nnd no Protestant church allowed to be built or opened or held. No bibles sold or dis tributed. No prayer meetings. The "Catholic World," tho Chief Roman Catholic organ in this country says, "that tho Site has no rights only through the su perior authority of tho Romish church." This is the unqualified assertion of tho su premo political authority of tho church in this enlightened dny, ns it was in tho mid night of tho middle ages. It is not the religious faith bf the Roman church that is assailed, but its political jittr posrs, na they becomo more and more un veiled and exposed to public gaze. If tho Pope is infallible, and he pro claims a despotism tho best form of Govern ment, then tho wholo Romish church must obey, and dungeons, and chains, and the fire nnd faggot must becomo the order of tho day, and wo relapse into political barbar ism. Let nil men, who love our freo rcpublici beware of tho power of a church, that claims that Government exists only by its permission. (Strength ori'rotcntnnf ism.

Tho genius of Catholicism reveals itstlf in such riots as New York givo us Inst week. It has dono such things a thousand times before. It will do so ngain unless kept iu restraint by fear.

Thcro was no trno American who was not stung to wrath tgainst these Hiber nians thus menacing with destruction a peaceful procession tf fellow-citizens. It wns remembered that theso same Irishmen had been wont to narch through every avenuo of the city in organizations whoso principles were oll'ensivo to the great major ity of spectators. Each St. Patrick's day had witnessed cndlessproccssions of catho lic band and brotherhoods. Fcnianism timo and again had pit itself into column, had swept tho street of carriage and om nibus, before its martini tread and its flaunt ing banners. And now theso men wero gathering stones, bricks, clubs, and pistols wherewith to slay thehttle band ol I'rotcs tants who proposed, ns for years it had been their custom, to narado the street of tho city. Tho blood beat fast in veins of many Americans as they read of this. And there was no truo man who did not hang his head in slinmo over tho proclama tion of tho city authorities forbidding tho r...aoion. K'lrdl tliiublu.1 inhibition Ot sheer pusillanimity tho world has not seen since that ucvor-to-be-forgottcn day when tho Governor of New York stood up beforo these same wrelchePjtnd in the atne craven spirit addressed them ns ''friends." All reverence of law and order, all feeling of security in rule and government, every in stinct of sclf-respoct, every sense of dig nity, were felt to be slipping away from one at witnessing this baso truckling to tho be hests of this senseless rabble. The ItloterM Huiiipnnt It would bo impossible to spread beforo our readers the numerous public expressions ot disappointment and race on the part of: the rioters and their friends, which have been called forth by their suppression on the 12th. Of course, the vials of their wrath aro poured out upon the head of iiov. lioiunan, who came to tho rescue when tho Mayor and upcriutendeut of Police had basely surrendered to the mob : ana whose Proclamation pledging tho whole power of the ttato police, and mili tary, to sustain the laws ami preseve order, gave a new assurance to tho city nnd the commonwealth. Numerous meetings of Irish Roman Catholics havo been held, iu which the Governor has been denounced and a course of action for the future marked out, including revenge for the faiiuro of the mob on tho 12th ; death to nil Orangemen who may presume, under whatever protec tion, to march in the streets of New York ; and political death, if not somethingwor.se, to nny ollieial or aspirant who will not favor their lawless and murderous plans. Among the meetings which havo been held, was ono at lirevoort Hall, in Tifty fourth street, on the evening of the 10th, at which, says one of the daily papers from which wu take the account, "at least two thousand Irishmen wero present." The editor of tho Irish Democrat mado the opening speech which was received with yells ol approbation. Wo make somo ex tracts in order to show the spirit of tho PlKVoXvi? rSaffiSo Iiaut lienitrla tions in our strpcts ; "There are times when Irishmen must take to heart some of the gravest thoughts which ever iilled man's heart : first, how we can avenge the blood which has been shed wild applause ; and, secondly, how we can securo to men of our blood, our breedin;;, nnd our bone, their projvr placo in the land of our adoption. iVrrillc cheers). In your cull for the meeting to night I find a very concise point, which is, shall Orangeism or Know Xothingism rulo this country ? Cries of "Never."

Other speakers counselled vongeanco in similar threatening language Tho citizens of New Vork, and tho citi zens of the United States generally, cannot ay that they have not been forewarned in regard to the purposes of thesu Irish Ro man Catholics. They havo been courted and pampered by tho authorities of this city for tlio sake of their votes, uutil they havo become rauinaut in th. ir dm llllllila as beforo tho riot, and ramnant in tlmiJ rago, not that they havo been put down by tho strong arm of tho law of the State. It is for the American pcoplo to say whether they Will surrender their liborLi.-a and llu.ir lives to this foreign mob ; and whether inai spiritual despotism shall havo coutrol of this land which has fostered this int,1. erance, and which in mauy other coutitrics has carried out the same bfiiody program mo nuii, uicsu inun would inaugurate.

Among other citiwus who have taken the alarm are tho American Germans. It was full timo. They havo constituted a potent interest in New York Democracy, as to-day they con stitute a potent interest in the same party in Pennsylvania. They havo seen tho patronage of the great metropolis absorbed by ono set ot men violent, unscrupulous, nud dishonest; and they havo paid their taxes, with a docility all tho more surprising when' everybody knew thnt these taxes were partially laid, boldly Btolcn, and deli berately misapplied. They havo scon tho grand uprising of their own pcoplo in tho Fatherland ridiculed and assailed bv these men. They havo witnessed tho Republi can party spontaneously and universally sympathizing with that uprising. They have read President Grant's oflicial Con gratulation of the triumph of United Ger many. They hnvo bomo tho deliberate ostracism of their lxsst men by tho Demo cratic party ; and they have hoard the illustrious William of Orange, who defeat ed the Catholic btuart, when the latter was aiming to subvert the liberties of England, howled at in the Btreet of New York as tho "Dutch King" and tyrant. Llko tho re bels during our civil war, tho most oppro brious epithet, after that of Yankeo, that could 1)0 applied to tho Union soldier, was "Hessian" or "Dutchman." Perhaps tho stigma had been earned by tho fact that tho old flag had no braver defenders than tho Sigcls, tho Rlcnkcrs, nnd tho liohlcns, and that ouly few Germans wero found in the rebel ranks. It was time for tho American Germans to take their stand and make their choico between tho Republican and Democratic parties.
