Meeting of the tate Central
' Committee. This committee met in the
'House of Representatives, at Harrisburg,
ou Thursday last. There was nenrly a
;'full representation from every district in
J the State. Gen. Harry White sent a letter
i to 'the committco asking to have his name
withdrawn as Congressmen at large, being
i already ou another ticket. This with
drawal created two vacancies on tho ticket,
- whfeh were Clled by tho nomination of
5 lion; Glenui W. Scofield, of Warren coun-
ty, aud Gen. Charles Albright, of Carbon
county,, ns Congressmen at large. Tho

'iTiu: proclamation of Gov. Geary on
Tles;lay last, calling upon tho military of
i: the- tale to keep themselves in readiuees to
!. suppnrt the fivil authorities whenever rc
' quired, shewed a moral effect which
vwill be excellent, ns it clearly evidences
tthal. Pennsylvania has a vigilant executive
officer who loses no time iu defending the
. cause of peace and order, aud will carry
terror to the instigators of tho rioters every
wher j. Law breakers arc made to under
stand that they will not have the sympathy
of the executive officers wilh them, and
that they will t.a brought to speedy punish'
jnent. It is n fact that two wrongs, no
.matter how fcUillfully Ihoy may ':o ciira
'biued, arc incapable of producing a right,
and the two wrongs campluiued of under
which the 'Vil!iamsport miil men profess to
sutler too much work and too little pay
- are insufficient to give them tho right to
rebel against t!.e law of the laud. The
nctivo measures takfn by Gov. Geary to
suppress liot and bloodshed meets with the
approval of every law-abiding citizen.
There is no justification of any set of men
to combine together for ihe purpose of
treating riots to mend their grievauces,

We have the cheering news from all parts
of tho Stato that Iho disafLctiou to Gen.
Ilar'.ranft grows less every day. Jvveu iu
Philadelphia where it was supposed lie
would meet with the greatest opposition, it
in now conceded that he will carry the city
by at least Ovo thousand majority. Out
side the city we do uot hear of any defec
tion except iti one or two counties, which
will be more than made up by the vote of
the Democratic soldiers iu the war. There
is no ground, however, for any opposition
toGcu. Ilartrauft. His opponents have
no public reasons for arrayiug themselves
agaiust him. Their reasons are private
onns, by which they hope to reap some
personal reward. Whenever they vcuture
upon a specific charge against him, it is at
ouce met and overthrown. They therefore
confine thcuueives to gcueral charges of
uufitnesa, coiruptiou, &c, which could be
made of any man living ; but the people
see through the miserable conspiracy and
will uot bo deluded or sold by any such
dishonorable-devices.
On January 5, 1871, Horace Greeley
taid : " Whilo asserting the right of every
Republican to his untrarurueled choice of a
candidate for nest President uutil a nomi
nation is made, I venture to suggest that
General Grant will be far better qualified
for that uioiucutous trust iu 1672 than be
was iu 1SCS."
Upon the reception of the news at Bel
fast, Me., of the nomination of Greeley and
Brown at 13a! ti more, so old-line Democrat,
who couldn't swallow iho Greeley dose,
mounted a huge white hat plentifully draped
and decked with black crape, and statf in

Sice Gray Meek, editor of tho Belle
(onto Watchman, and one of the leading
Democrats In the Pennsylvania Legislature
is suffering, not in consequences of any im
prudence of his own, but from Ihe folly aud
degeneracy of his party. He strovo hard
to keep his party free from the contagion
of Greeley ism, but all in vain and he is now
sick. He appeals to his Democratic breth
ren who are notafilicjed as he is, to let him
and others of his party, afflicted like him,
alono. He indignantly points out to them
Ihe evil they have wrought, and calls upon
them to "halt" where they are, and not
attempt by any "drlvlne" process, to force
the sick and reluctant iutoau acknowledge
tnentof thts wisdom or Justice of their dirty
work. Hear him for his cause. He says :
"You have succeeded" (ho says, in his
"advice" to tho Greeley wing of tho party!
"iu getting your choico fur a Presidential
candidate. You have gotten the man, who
above all ethers, you believe to be honest,
patriotic and competent, and qualified for

true Democrats who cannot believe as you
do ; who think you have made a mistake
a fearful, disgraceful mistake, and yet
are so situated, aim sucti me circumstances
surrounding tho wholo matter, that they
can do nothing but accept the inevitable,
and allow you to have a fair trial. You
have placed the Democratic masses iu tho
position that they are compelled to vote for

JJon't attempt to drive 1
"Thousands of Democrats who are com
pletely disgusted with tho silualinn, who
leel the disgrace that has pocii brought
upon the Democratic cause, who have a
perfect abhorrence for tho cowardice that
would desert tuincinlo and rally around a
banner upou which is inscribed "Anything
for Booty," will, nevertheless, vote lor
Greeley as tho lesser of two evils vote for
him only on this proutid, and you can gel
them to do no more. Make up your minds
to this. Do not attempt to make them say
you have done well, or your candidate is a

crat." Do not threaten, bully or drive, for
remember that whilo the great masses of
the party may swallow the dose you have
mixed tor them as the only alternative,
they will nob-say that it is good.
"Bo content, then, wilh tho fact that
you have got the Democracy into tho posi
tion that they are compelled to vote for
Gneley or acquiesce in the re-election of
Graut. Cheer yourselves with the idea
that they know this, and that they ore not
for Grant. But don't try to drive. Don't
try to further humiliate them. By attempt
ing to force them to say that the dose you
have fixed for them is good you may make
them puke the whole thing up."
2so one but a newspaper man can rea
lize the absolutely ludicrous change that
has taken place in tho tone and temper of
what are called Democratic organs. One
year ago, and before that all their lifetime,
the Democratic Journals of this and other
Stales, proved their zeal for their party by
liballing Horace Greeley. The vocabulary
of Billinsgate was exhausted for vile epi
thets to apply to him he was a licentious
free-lover a beastly misciginatiouist an
infidel a fanatic and an abolitionist. No
man opposed to tho Democratic party, was
ever ns foully abused by its organs, as
Greeley has beeu aud yet these same jour
nalists, with no other justification than
that he has couseuted to allow himself to
be used as a tool to beat Grant, now laud
him, ns a Statesman, a . philosopher, ud a
moralist.
Assassination of Alueumax Mo
Mullen. Ou Mouday evening last, Al
dermau McMulleu widely known as a
prominent Democratic politician of the
Fourth Ward iu Philadelphia, was assas
sinated by Hugh Marra of the same ward.
The thirty-fifth anniversary of tho Moya
mensiug Hose Coupany was celebrated on
that day when MeMullcn made a speech,
after which a bauquet was given. Marra
entered the room and took a boquct from
tho tabic, when McMulleu followed hint iu
to a taveni to have tho boqtict returned.
While protesting with Marra to return the
boquet Marra deliberately t hot McMullen
aud fled. McMulleu is lying in a critical
condition. Marra was lately released from
the penitentiary where he was sentenced
two years ago for assassinating Detective
Jainfs Brooks of the U. S. secret service,
which pardon wns mainly granted through
the iuftucuec of McMulleu.
The best l)emocrats lu Pennsylvania
nun of character and who are interested in
tho stability and procpniity of tho country
are announcing their determination nut
to support Greeley. They are unwilling
to be parties to the corrupt bargain and
salo which brought about Greeley's uomi
ualiou. Iu Berks couuty this class of men
are found in great numbers. Some of the
must respectnblo Democrats iu Lebanon
county make no secret of their determina
tion not to support Greeley. Men of char,
acter, we cure not of what party they are,
cannot afford to be bartered about by such
iutluences as Tammany Hall aud the un
principled gaug which has Greeley in

The ItaftsnKuVs Journal suggests a
scarcity of the article called "Liberal Re
publicauism" in Clearlield county. 'What,'
it asks, "has become of the Liberal Re
publican party of Clearfield county since
the noiuiualioa of Greeley at Baltimore ?
It is so 'beautifully small, aud growing
less by degrees, that our 'Jox' suggests the
propriety of getting out a March varrant
to liud it." In the same paper wo find the
lullowiug : " Very well, sir," said a Dem
ocrat to us last cveuing, "as my party has
finally confessed that Republican ideas are
right, and Republican amendments to the
Constitution and Renublicau legislation are
to be maintained, I will go for Grant, who
carnea itieso ideas, amendments aud laws
to success.
THE Oil City Bulletin, Democratic, hoists
tuo name ot U. o. Orant for President, in
preference to Greeley. The editor is only
doing what thousands of other Democrats
will do, all becauso Greeley instead of a
Democrat is put upon them.
Gen. Grant saysin one of his messages :
" The citizens of the United Slates, whether
native or adopted, who discharges bis duty
to his country, is entitled to iu complete

At midnight last night, as the Kink and

carriage. Its occupants were uninjured.
One of the assassins was immediately kill

two others were captured. Ihe greatest
indignation is everywhere expressed at the
cowardly deed. The tranquility of the city
is undislurued, although, when accounts nt
the atl'air began to be generally circulated,
there was much excitement and crowds
gathered in the neighborhood where tho
altaek had been made.
By 4 o'clock iu the morning, almost tho

The Philadelphia Demolrat, the most
widely circulated and most influential Ger
man Democratic paper in Pennsylvania,
expresses, wo doubt not, the mind ot a
multitude o! American as wen as uerman
members of tho party, when it says :
" Greeley is no Democrat, and it the De
mocracy set him up as their standard
bearer, while Greeley himself declares that
he is only willing to receive their votes
without thinking of appcariugas their can
didate ; if the Democracy thus make their
opponent their candidate, they act a politi
cal falsehood, they commit a crime against
honesty, loyalty nnd truth, of which the
righteous puuishment will not fail to follow
upon both parlies to tho hypocritical com
pact. A party which, through such a com
promise, which if honest and not a lie from
the beginning, stipulates the betrayal of its
best principles ; a party which by means
of such a lie seeks to attain to power, does
not deserve it aud will not obtain it. And
a mau like Greeley, who through this com
promise, eudeavors to gain the palm of
victory, deserves it just as little, and it is
to be hoped, will not obtain it by whatever
means. For nominated is w4 elected.

COltKESPOJJDENCE.
Letter lrom Washina-ton.
Washington, July 22, 1872.
" The snn, Hie soil, but not the alnve the same"
When Byron thus spoke of down-trodden
Greece he never blended language and idea
more beautifully together, nnd wo apply
tho quotation as suitable in connection with
what wo are about to write. When the
great poet sojourned in Attica ho thus drew
a comparison between tho former greatness
of its people and their degraded condition
nt the timo of which ho spoke ; wo must,
therefore, reverse the application, and
present by tho quotation, the past of our
country iu contradistinction to its present.
Greece, once tho land of scienco and of
song, great in peace and powerful in war,
was subject to Turkish rulo at that time,
aud her struggle ngainst that barbarous
power excited t he sympathy of the civilized
world, and elicited in her favor all tho world
bad of genius and patriotism.
Wo are brought to these reflections from
what we see around us. We lived in the
time, paradoxical ns it may seem, when a
whole race was held iu bondage by our free
institutions, but to-day we proudly, thank
fully exclaim from tho dome of our beauti
ful capitol. " the sun, the soil, but iot the
slave the same."
The cheerful difference between these
distinguishing periods of our country's his
tory, is pleasing to witness. The happy,
cheerful black race as we find it here to-day,
frugal, industrious and prosperous, presents
a remarkable contrast to the race as it was
iu the days of slavery, nnd their deport
ment and appearance, wherever you find
them, indicate au advancement in intelli
gence, and an appreciation of their present
situation.
To bring about this wonderful change in
the situation of affairs, required the com
plete eradication from our political system
of an institution upon which was based the
wealth ot a wholo section. To mention it
was dangerous to undertake it was a
herculean task ; and yet it was undertaken
and achieved we nil know at what ex
penseand how rapidly results followed :
the enfranchisement of an enslaved race
the exchange of the Senate seat from the
master to the slave.
When we look back upon tho last twenty
years and see who were the moving spirits
in bringing about this wonderful change.
we discover that tho present political status
of these men is uot much less astounding
than are the results of ihe last twenty years
of their labor. Who would have believed
the prcdictiou, if it had been veutured three
years ago that Mr. Greeley, the champion
of all Republican reform, to-day would
stand as the chosen candidate of tho IK-m-ocratic
party for President of tho United
States their life-long opponent their for
mer hated object of abuse.
The madness of man's ambition frequent
ly destroys the character for the establish
ment of which a wholo lifetime has been
consumed in doing good works, lu case
of Greeley's clcctiou every political princi
ple he has ever advocated he will be com
pelled to abaudou ; if he docs not do so, iu
fact, he might as well do so, as ho has lost
through his treachery to the Republican
parly, his uscfuluess in their advocacy. But
it is preposterous to suppose that the party
electing Mr. Greeley will abaudou its
principles and espouse his he must become
the sueeombing parly. Already we hear
it stated among Democrats here that the
loth amendment is a fraud upon the pub
lic, aud will not stand long us the law of
the land, after they have elected force suffi
cient to blot it out of existence. How
would Mr. Greeley see it iu case oi his elec
tion. He sees no Ku-Kluxes now, aud de
nounces, ns unnecessary, the law provided
for their punishment, a matter Lo insisted
upon having established several years ago.
i'j $4iJ, if we ore not mistaken, Mr. Gree
ley wrote wheu he seemed to bo an earnest
advocate of the principles he has now de
serted, that if, on a final review of his life
and pi act ice he 6hnuld be found unworthy
of his principles, infamy might be heaped
ou his memory, aud hoped that none should
thereby bo led to distrust tho principles to
which ho had proved recreant : and further.
that others more able and honest than he
should live to adorn thoso priuciples by
more suitable lite aud conversation.
Mr. Greeley at that timo evidently meant
what ho said ; but alas for the weakness of
human nature 1 The temptcrcamo, and iu
case ot Lis' election, '"unerring time," to
which ho has submitted the matter, will
prove the frailty of human nature.
As much can be said about Charles
Sumner, oucca manofcurgrcntest admira
tion ; "uuorriug time," if a political change
take place, will prove that ho has sacrificed
the ijlory of his past life ou the shriuo of
human ambition.
But little attention need bo paid to the
case of Mr. Forney ; we all know him.
After a long life of political dishonesty to
accomplish his selfish purposes, he roue
from his aspirations to a United States
Senatorship to a clerkxhip in Congress.
Ix't the people of the. Uuited States be
distrustful of the dishonesty of ambitious
mcu, lest tho great work of the last ten
years may at last prove a failure. We
hope wo may never be compelled to change
our quotation from Byron to " the suu the
soil the same," and the same old slave again.
The change would bo less twticul, but just
as applicable. Yours, &c,
