Tlio mulltor'i reports fur ei-veni! years

to llio tnx-pnyers. Kven mno of the

that n wrong existed which they had
t.ot discovered, and were unnhto to toll
where it did oxint. Tlie emmty (linnei
have been so loosely manured tluit il
is likely tu bo brought into liiijntion with
former ollieers. Tl.eso di't'.i ii nel' S arose
in the ComniisMoner'a olllee. and the enor
mous list of expenditures were returned to
,th; auditors to cover up track, so much
so, that it lias attracted the attention of
t.hn people generally. Whether this has
b.-en done l.-inranlly or intentionally, we
nro iinnblo to say, but wcbelievo that if tho
accounts nflSW) nud 1S70, were to he re
audited, and tho original vouchers pro
J need from tlio parties who rendered lit
counts nsainsl the county, that there would
bo a considerable reduction in the espedi
ture. It would ho we'd If tin present audi
tors were to demand the original bills pre
sented, properly certiiled by tho parlies
furnishing material and labor, as well as
tho nceounts of the Sherill ' olliee, instead
of relying on accounts kept by thu clerk of
the Commissioners. Tlio C'unmiaMoiici's
have no ri.lit, legally or morally, to grant
an order for the payment of any bill with

ljtt tilght the Pennsylvania
Republican Association held its tlr.stofa
series of sociables, to be given during tlio
coining winter. This Mist reception was n
complete success, and tlio ''fair won'en and
brave men" of our great State wero there
in numbers exceeding twelve or thirteen
hundred. The entire Pennsylvania dele
gation in Congress were in attendance, with
'.he single exception of .Senator Cameron,
who was unexpectedly detained in the Sen
ate, probably watching Senator Truinhull
in his ntiem'pt to perform a double sum
mersault, and accept tho -"jiassive policy"
of the hard-np Democracy. Tho President,
Vice President, Secretaries Delano nnd
llcikuap, the Japnncse iMinister, nnd nu
merous oilier ilistingu shed and eminent
personages favored us with their presence.
Our mutual friend A. A. Shissler, lisq..
President of the Association, and Chair
man of (he lteceptiou Committee, escorted
President Oram to tlie platform, nnd al'ieV
the seating of the guests, delivered a neat
and appropriate address, slating tho object
of tho Association, and then introduced
tlio speakers of the evening. tr. Shissler
acquitted himself creditably, and his c Doris
to make every onu comfortable much pleas
ed bis numerous fiiemls.
lion. William T. Haines made the speech
of welcome, in a very pretty address, which
was eloquently responded to by tlie Hon.
John 11. Packer, on llio part of tho Con
giissloinil ileleuation. Senator Scott then
delivered a short address, alter which, all
who desired; wire lesenlcd to President
(i rant nnd Mr. Colfax by Mr. Shissler.
This being through, dancing was com
menced by those who wished '"to trip it on
the light fantastic toe," and continued to
the ' wcu stna hours of the nioru," and
when the orchestra played tho old tune of
"II ime," time remaining to bear il, ex
pressed a wish for the speedy coming of the
second sociable of our Association.
I send you a hon ied ami partial synopsis
of Mr. Packer's address, which is as full ns
I could report it. Tho address was re
ceived w ith rapturous applause, nnd 1 hope
will be as acceptable to your readers ns it

tlM'se pioneers, in die march of civilization
and freedom, iu the full of 10S2, more than
oiio hundred years before the eonsliluliou
of thu United Slates was framed, rising
abovo all unworthy feelings of resentment,
and prompted by tho noblest principles of
their nature, even in the moment of their
absolute power, nnd reaching almost the
sublimity of inspiration, declared that (ill
men havo a natural nnd Indefensible right
to worship Almighty God according to the
dictates of their own consciences ; that no
human authority can control or interfere
with the rights of conscience, and that no
prcftrenre should ever bo given, by law, 'to
any religious establishments or modes of
worship.
They declared too, that elections should
be free and equal, and, centuries in advance
of the civilization of Kuropc, mid in de
fiance of what was then regarded hy states
men and philosophers ns ''the ripened wis
dom of tho ages," they declared that no
one should bo imprisoned for debt; they
softened tho severities of tho peuat code,
abolishing the death penalty in every ease,
except that of wilful ami deliberate niurder.
and, true to the cherished principles of uni
versal equality, they swept away llio estab
lished feudal rules of primogeniture, giving
to nil the children alike an equal share iu
the iulierilaneo of their Ancestor.
The familiar facts in our history mny bo
trite, but they are suggestive, and cannot
be too often referred to ns explanatory of
our wonderful success and advancement.
Under our humane, just and liberal system
of laws, thus wisely and hapily inaueuiatid,
die population nl ' Pennsylvania, which in
IT'.K) had r. aoliod 4:il,0lli)',now exceeds three
millions nnd a half. In the development
of our mineral, ngricultur.il nnd oilier re
sources wo have advanced as no oilier peo
ple have ever done before; with magnifi
cent lines of railways and canals, attest jug
die public spirit and chliubli lied etilerpriiio
of our people. Loiisiriielid at n cost of mil
lions of dollnrs, for the transportation of
our products, and like a net-work, extend
ing in almost every direction across our
Shite, we have in addition more miles of
railroads in our mines, in tlio very bowels
of the earth, than many nations of tho old
world, which were thickly populated when
Pennsylvania was n howling wilderness,
have w ithin all llu i i borders.
lhiring the current year, not yet closed,
we have taken from nppnreiilly inexhausti
ble mines, and si lit to market, morn than
17.tltKI.0lll) tons of coal, and from die fii'.t
ness of our internal reservoir, within thu
same period, have gushed forth two hun
dred and hl'iy million gallons of petroleum,
which has been sent forth (o tin il it Uijld
upon most of dm ciiiuuicrciiil nations 'of
the world.
1 Mere Mr. Packer 'made so-ncwhal ix-
teiuled reference, to the great farming and
uyrieiilltirnl interests of our State, die sla
tistieal portions ol which 1 will send you iu
my next.
So, too, in all the depai tmenls of the
Ails, science and manufactures, as well ns
iiuricullure, (he oilieial statistics show that
we are not behind nuv of our sister com
monwealths, while, guided by an intelligent
npjireciatioii and proper apprehension of
their great resources, and of the Iruu and
just relation of labor lo capital, llio indus
trious, fruual anil enterprising people of
ourNiate have so prudently divcrsilicd their
industries nml wisely invested their means,
that liolhing hut the most unwise mid un
just legislation can ever arrest or retard the
onward march of their wonderful progress.
And, sir, not forgetting, that from those
to whom much is given, much will be re
quired, the philanthropic citizens of Penn
sylvania, through mi admirable system of
both public and priviio charities, ant pro
verbial for their liberal dispensation of
ample helielits and blessings upon uul'ortu
nale or sulliriiig humanity.
So also, recognizing tin- vast importance
ol educating tic s.lo whom (he sacred trust
of free govei lllll -lit .s lo be committed, that
they more fully kimw their rights and uu
deislaud their n spousihilnies, our Suite
opens the door of the school room to all In r
ciii dren. poor nml rich alike, and bids
t In-ill enter ! I'mler the operation of her
free school system this day. since the rising
of this mori,ino'H sun, between die watirs

eyed bo, s and girls, the future men and
women of our country, are receiving in
slruclioti iu the lessons by which they nre
lo he prepared for the performance aim dis
charge of the important dudes of life."
In closing, Mr. Packer paid a glowiiiL
tribute lo the 'memory of Pennsylvania's
sons who gave up iheir lives, that we
might have uu undivided country, praised
those who had nobly Volunteered when
called lo arms by the lamculeil marly red
President Lincoln, and spoke feelingly of
die soldiers orphans ivho are being educa
