Owing to the Bad calamity that baa just visited the editor of this paper, the public shouldunderstand that the chair editoiial bas this week been occupied by another. We can ascre our friends of the other counties of this Congressional district, that they need not be at all alarmed about Somerset county. Tut no faith in the deceptive reports you may bear about defection in the Republican ranks here. Somerset county will roll op an old fashioned R.eDubIican maiority. She'll pet in 4 - ber work. Charles II. Paulson, a Pittsburgh hatter, bas been nominated for sena tor from Allegheny county on the Na tional ticket. To secure a Republican majority of the members of the House in the next Congress, is of the great est conceivable importance, not only to the Republican party, but to the business of the whole country. This is eminently true, so far as the interests of Pennsylvania arc con cerned. Eveiy laboring man in the State, every farmer, merchant, manu facturer, in fact every producer must feel that protection to our home pro ducts must not be stricken down, if better times are again to dawn upon us. We are just emerging from the faeavy burden of financial prostration under which the State and Nation have been laboring for years. The burden is apparently about to bej lifted, and prosperity in all the busi ness relations of the country again loomscpand gives promise of a bright futnre. How foolish, then, would it be, if, now, with the interest on our debt reduced by millions, with the great manufacturing establishments of the land preparing to renew tbeir business operations, with every hope that all the industrial interests of the country will again flourish, the peo ple would send to Washington a suf Ccient number of Congressmen to enable Fernando Wood to repeal the present tariff laws and enact in their stead laws that would discriminate against the labor ot our own country and in favor of foreign labor. Ia this district we have a Repub lican and Democratic candidate. No otlcr bas yet been named, but doubtless, the many? named party Lnown as the "Greenback," National, Labor and Reform party, will place a candidate in the field. Either the Republican or Democratic candidate most be elected. The other, if there should be any other, will only be used by designing and crafty parti fans to aid their own larorite, or injure the man they are opposing, ft is respectfully urged upon the Re publican voters of Somerset county that it would be 6uicidal not only to the interests of the Republican party, but highly injurious to the whole country to throw away votes enough upon a third candidate to enable the Democratic candidate to slip into a seat ia Congress through a divisioo in the majority party of the district. What will be gained by the election of General Campbell? A steady frieid to the Union, aa crient ad vocate of protection to the laWor of tbe cocatry, and an uncompromising foe to every specie of disloyalty. Elect bis adversary nd you have tbe opposite. Wilijt not be better to give aa old time majority to ibe Republican candidate. Let us all work to that end and the result will be as gratifying as U will be beneficial. Last year the National Labor Greenback party elected five out of seven Assemblymen ia Louisville, Ky. Tbia year tbey didn't elect any, only polling for tbeir mostpopu Urcandidate l.iOO voteeoat fo 15,000. Tried and found wanting. Thursday, September the 5tb, is the last day upon which voter? can get assessed, and Saturday, October 5th, ia the last day upon which tax can be paid, to secure a Tote at t'ue easuing election. Persons who voted on age last year should be particular to bare tbeir names placed jipnn the assessment, and pay tbeir tax as above indicated, otherwise the law provides no way by which they can vote. The sudden conversion of sore-head Republicans to Greenback fanatics, which occurred at the Convention last week, was not a surprise to those who Lave noted the length to which the lust for office will lead some men. Spasmodic conversions, as a rule, ore to be viewed with suspicion, and the unholy wise could suggest that a probationary period might hive cooled the ardor of some of the new converts. It serves the Repnblican party right, because it is its own fault, that so many soreheads are in its ranks I said a grave old friend to u., the oth er day. Wby so 1 we inquired. Be cause it didn't give all those fellows offices! And wc thought we Faw our old friend's eyes twinkle ta he added : What's Ibo use of bclongiug to a pnrly that can't give every man an office ? Wc immediately began to appreciate Artemus Ward's propo sition, to get up a regiment composed ef Brigadier Generals. M. D. Conway, m hia London letter to the Cincinnati Commercial, says Senator Bruce, on his arrival in London, will form one of a group of three of the most important Afri cans of official position cow living. The other two are the King of BonDy, who, with a European education, has introduced so many reforms into Africa, and Dr. Edward W. Blyden, the Liberian Minister, who has per fect faith in the future of Lis race. Senator Bruce represents the ad vance cf the colored man in the United States. As neat a bit of shenanigan as wc ever heard of, occurred in the dimin utive Labor Greenback Convention held here last week. It was nip and tuck between -Shafer and Mowry for the nomination for Sheriff. Unfor tunately for Shafer his two delegates from Somerset township refused to come, whereupon Howry coolly "wruog-'n" a couple of friendly out siders, whom the Convention receive J as delegates, and by their two rod k ho was nominated, and Shafer was thus beaten. For ways that ore dark, and tricks that are vaio, tie Greenback concern is peculiar. Senator Thurman, the prospec tive candidate of the Democrats for President in ISSO.Jcpened the cam paign in Ohio, at Hamilton, yester day. Thurman goes over body and breeches, to the limited greenback idea, and the funny thicgabout it is that he demonstrates, to Lis own satisfaction at least, that gy ecu b act- ism is precisely in accordance with the old bard money idea which he bas championed since the days of General Jackson. It was all well enough for Thurman to jump into the popular currentbut ti set him self up as the original swsaparilla of Dr. Townsend, is too much. We understand that the great "National Greenback Labor Conven. lion of Somerset County". last week, among other things, resolved that all candidates sLould bo required to sign the Constitution, and thus cut loose from tbeir former poliik&l alli ances. This being the case, we affection ately bid a long farewell to tbe gen tlemen who accepted nominations at its hands, and kindly com send them to the tender care of Gencnl Coffroth, and other leaders of the Democratic party, in whose corrcpi Ix-sam they will eventually land. We are sorry to part with old time comrades in tbe great Republican army, but wo simply close np our ranks and march forward to victory, feeling well assured that oer Joss is not their eternal gain. Gese3.il Coffroth's "Independ ent Republican County Convention,'' held in tbia borough oa Tuesday lust, was the best manipulated stuall farce that has been placed on tbe boards1 this season. As but nine out of tbe thirty-three election precincts of tbe County were represented, Bnd a ma jority of those by srif-constituted delegates, the General's task of man ipulating the body was not onerous, but some of bis toucLea were exceed ing fine. On tbe assembling of the Convention, Mr. D. L. PuiLLirn, of Somerset township, was nominated aa Secretary; wherecpon be asked the object cf the Convention, and be ing informed that it contemplated tbe nominating of a new ticket, he de clared himself satisfied with the reg ular ticket in the field, said be had been elected a delegate ia bis ab sence, and without hia knowledge, and withdrew from th room. This leaving the township without a dele gation, the Convention proceeded to elect and instale a couple of conven ient hangers-on, who thus pretended to represent the people of the town ship without their knowledge. It be ing apparent from tbe outstart of tbej Contention that the farce of its bi'ing a Republican oij could not longer .be preserved, tbe hajf dcr.en delegates from the Labor organization, ia .the neighborhood of Meyersdale, under1 the lead of Coffroth's lieutenant Lewis A. Tcst'EB took possession oi the affair and resolved it into a Na tional Labor Greenback circus. When the nominations came to be made, then Coffbotu's fkilltul hand ling became apparent. Georob G. Walker, who was on tbe ground with a couple cf delegates from Alle gheny, to urge his nomination for Senator. wa3 coollv thrust off with a nomiuatiou for Legislature, where upon his personal dalegatea declined to take further part ia the proceed ings, and thev and tbeir candidate O r left for home in a state of bewilder ment and disgust, it not yet having crer-t throoeh their bair that the a Democrats having placed Grof in the field for Senator. Coffroth had to dispose of Walker's pretentions io a way not to interfere with him. Again, Shafer, who was cock sure of tbe nomination for Sheriff, to his consternation and disraay.Tound him self nominated for Register and Re corder, an office he did not want, and could not fill acceptably if he could get it, and why this was thus he could not divine. We could have told Lim a week ago that this was on tbe cards, and had been whispered arouud the corners. It was assumed that he had considerable strength as a candidate for Sheriff, the Demo crats in the north of the county, among whom Kyle, the Republican candidate, has many personal friend?, swore that if Coffroth allowed Shafer to run they would vote straight fcr Kyle, so to placate them and with the hope of benefiting Grof by a trado with some of Kyle's friend?, Shafer's mouth was stopped by ibrustins upon him a nomination he didn't want, and Mowry received the ornamental nom ination. To nominate but one can didate for Commissioner would have made the prospective dicker too transparent, so two were named, one ot whom will be induced to decline or withdraw, and the other will then be adopted and run by the Democrats with McClintock.. But this was mere by-play, clearing away the rub' bub lor Coffroth s cbitf move, which wa3 to secure control of the Congressional conferees, which, hav ing the Convention well in hand, was easily done, and without a dissent ing voice Lewis A. i lexer was voted the honors of Grand Mogul to select a County Committee, aud also to appoint Congressional and Senatorial conferees. Coffroth bas made Li- point. He bas demonstrat ed to his party friends in the other part of the District that he owns and controls tbe "Labor Greenback movement" in this county, and Lis supposed strength at Home will be augmented thereby, while he hopes that by having the ft-lec'.ion of con ferees, through Tirser, he may bag tbe nomination of that party also. We are all ageg to see the horny banded General adopted as the can didate of the sons of toil shouldn't he emulate the lily valley? Wby of the Imparlance of the Sent Cong-re. From tho New York HcraM. In one respect tbe election this fall may have, in tbe end, uncom mon importance. The Hou9e of Representatives to be cbosea next November may have to elect a President in 1S30. If there should be three or more presidential candi dates, and if neither of them should receive a majority of all the votes cast, the House, voting by States, would have to select from the three highest the person to become Presi dent of tbe United States. It will be observed that tho candidate who should have in that case the major ity of members in tbe majority of states would be chosen. f'fiole litis in Tour lint. Fruin tbe Wllkcsbarre Record of the Tiincft. The New York Herald and other papers cutside this State may prof itably take a few facts to heart. These are: 1, That the Republicans of Pennsylvania were never more heartily united and harmonious than they are to-day ; 2, That General Henry M. Uojt has tbe enthusiastic support of the Pennsylvania Repub licans; 3, That te was the choice not only of tbe leaders, but also of tbe masses of hia party for tbe nomina tion ; 4, That no uuvepent of tbe Opposition, whether they coil them selves Democrats, Independents or Nationals, can divert (hp Pennsylvan ia Republicans from tbeir allegi ance and devotion to tbe candidates of tbeir party ; 5, That the Republi cans of Pennsylvania are able to elect General Ijeary M. Hoyt Gov ernor, end will do it Vnnil Campbell's View Begarda I'rnolona for ibe Union Hnldiera. Some weeks ago Messrs. Jeremiah Gordon, R. C. Smith, J. L. Brown, II. Bridentball and others, known to tbe majority of our readers, in be half of the soldiers of Bedford coun ty, addressed a letter fo General Campbell, our present Representa tive in Congress, and a candidate for re election, asking Li views on measure before Congress in the in terest of tbe federal soldiers. The General promptly dedopg bis position r.u as ioiiuwb : - LETTER TO THE ABOVE NAMED tiOt, DIF.RS. Johnston, July 24th, 1S73 Gents; Your favor" of the 20th icst., asking my views on the prepo sitions submitted by you on .behalf of your comraaca, has been recei ved, and I cheerfully respond. 1st, I am in favcr of an equalisa tion of bounties, so that equal and exact justice may be done to every Union soldier who periled Lis life that the Republic might lire a. l am tn far or or giving a quarter section of land to every hon orably discharged soldier, with tbe right to dispose of tbe same to any other person (by transferable land warrant o" otherwise) if he should see proper no,t iq occupy the ground himtelf. 3 AU persona entitled io D.enstona for wounds or dUease contracted whilst in the line of dtr ja the army, should receive sucn pocsjop from the date of discbarge from serv ice. I beliera these measures to fee just and proper and will do all in my power to have them eoiwtcd as the law upon the subject. With kind regards for yourselves, end ..'he comrades for whom you are acticg ia the cat tor, I am very re spectfully ycurs, J. M. Campuell. Jacob M. Camobell went into the f.rmy on the 27th day of February, I 13G2, a3 Colonel of the 5th Regiment, and was promoted to Brevet Briga dier General on the 13th cf March, I8C5. We will not attempt to tell our soldier readers of tbe General in the Army, as they no doubt know as much of bim as we, but we would re spectfully call attention to the fact that be is warm to-day tc tbe aojdier, as a civil officer, as be was during tbe war, as a military officer, and that the soldier can send no better friend to Washington firmer and tru er to Lis interests, than he. The General first went into the army in 1 SCI, the first call for three months' men. Inquirer. ' A SOLID NORTH. Ignore it as we will, lose sight of it as we may, the great and growing question of this country, bound in time to overshadow all mere issues of political economy, is the' question of toe freedom or the ballot; tbe ques tion of the emancipation of the mind and the will from tbe slavery of fear that now envelops them. Slowly but surely the seeds sown in tbe sur render of the government to the ball dozing States, a year and a half ago, are springing up and bearing fruit. That surrender has, in tbo brief peri od of eighteen months, destroyed the labor of years. Tbe Republican party broke the shackles of four mil lions of slaves. Making them free men, it also gave them political rights, and incorporated in tbe supreme law of the land the declaration that "the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridg ed on account of race, color, or pre vious condition of servitude." There was a struggle to enforce that principle, for the eld barbaric idea died hard, and disturbances were frequent. Ia many points of the South there were massacres of colored men, but, recognized aud en couraged, and Si far as possible, pro tected by tha government, they stood their ground, fought tbe fight, suffered the persecution, seeing and knowing that gradually they were growing in strength, and driving the opposition to the wall. With the advent of tho new gos pel, however, all was changed. Like leaded wagon, which, by dint of bard pulling, had almost reached the top of the hill, and which, abandon ed, has gone thundering to tbs bot tom, it has taben bat eighteen months for the car of justice, which it re quired yean of labor to move to the front, to gravitate back to the slough of tyranny, oppression nnd ignorance at the rear. Today the colored men, and, indeed, tbo whites who are not in harmony with the bu!l doxing clement, are practically dis franchised in every cotton State. They can vote, if at all, only under tbe supervision and domination of the ex-slave drivers. lormerly the owcer of Elave3 ia' directly cast a fractional voto for his chattels. To-day tho ex-owner practically casts tho whole vote in many localities, and is likely to do so soon ia all parts of tbe feoutu. This is what we have reached by "conciliation." and. as trie ir.icr- Ocean has many limes remarked, it is a political precedent that will ere Ion? return like a curse t bumble and afllict the land. What kind of a Republic ii thi which permits thousands of its voters to be driven to the poll.-, or away from the polls, when tbeir absence or their presence ma decide vital questions of public policy, or bo dis tasteful to tbe power which uses the shot-gun to carry its points 7 How long can peace b3 maintain ed in this land with such a state of affairs existing f How long will bulldozing bo cou fined to colored men and Southern Republicans, when tho right to bull doze is winked et by the only pirty that can prevent uf How loner will men serve a cation that cannot serve tbem, and serve it airaiust a atate which possesses tbe power to humble or exalt, to puni.-h or reward them ? The President of tbe United States, if the principle now recognized grows or flourishes a little longer, wiil be President, not by constitutional means, not by legal methods, but bv the sufferance merely of State pontiffs. The government U rapialy degen erating from the pjsiuoo of the mas ter to the place of the man, and is in a fair way to become tho sport and plaything of political prostitutes. This state ot things is primarily owing to the mistake of the admin istration ia tr.eating and bargaining with mobs at the opening of its term. It is owing, in a secondary way, to the cowardice and weakness of tho Republican party leaders themselves. There should have been a universal pretest against that surrender, and a vigorous reiteration of Republican principles from tbo first. The people were ready and ripe for it. But, in stead of that, we hd halting, hesita ting, and a semi-indortemeat of the surnaier which discouraged and disgusted the masses. Among all tbe State conventions held there was but one which came out squarely in opposition to the abandonment of principle, and that was tbe conven tion of tbe Iowa Republicans. Penn sylvania did something, Indiana a little, Michigan a good deal, and tbo Illinois convention had tho disposi tion, if its committee bad possessed the sense, to have taken as open ground as Iowa ; but the latter Slate bas the only intelligent, positive, and ringing affirmation of old-time Re publican principles that bas been put forth by a Northern is ta to niaco the inauguration ot President Hajos. The result of this half hearted work bas been a half-hearted pirty. I Jhe lies that bind men to political organisations are weakened when they find tbeir principles disregarded by those they have trusted. Thous ands stayed at borne at tbe I aft elec tion in Ohio and other States, and the energies of civil liberty and a uni ted government too a long stride forward. The great task before the Republi cans cf tbe country is to bring back tbe thought and seni;ment of the people to a realization of the dingers lb at threaten from Calhopoism, and rebel supremacy, and unite the Re publican masses once more ja de fense of tbeir time-booored doctriaes. Whether that onion will be accom plished during the pending canvass ia uncertain, but that it will take place ere tbd opeoiug of tbe next Presidential campaign is scarcely to be doubted. Tbe constant, bold and insoleot ict'rQement of personal lib erty bj the jubilanf ej-rebcla will make a solid North an imperative np-cc8Mj.-Pkipa(jQ fider-Oceaiy CniCAOo, Ang. 21 Poetrraster General Key and his party arrived from Clareiacd last night, and are to day being entertained by Postmaster!

Mr. Bjutwell addressed a larjre metliog ot Portland. Me., on Monday evetiia. In commencing a discus sion of the currency question Govern or Bootwell invited any one present who did not thiuk as be did t ask him questions. He commenced with th3 greenback platform of Maine and read tho clause referring tJ the na tional banks and declared himself op posed ta the doing away with tbem. If the banks were to close up business what would become cf investments ? A worse financial panic would follow than has been 6een for many a day. Tho difficulty is a want of confidence on tbe part or those who have mon ej. There ia money enough, but the question is what shall bo done with it so that it shall pay interest ? Mr. Montgomery Where is confi dence in real estate? Mr. Boutwell Real estate is net convertible in money at any lime, es pecially at the present tima. In 18C6 ine cusiness ot isu:ng bank notes was carried oa by States and the general Government had no benefit from tbe i3sue. When the national banks were -ettablishel the Slate banks ceased, and now the govern ment derives a revenue from the is sue of the currency. This was clecr gain and was accomplished by the republican party. The green backers say abolish this system and eive us greenbacks. Here I should like to ask some one who makes this cry what the greenback shall be re deemed in, if at all ? Shall it be gild or silver, or issued with no pur pose to redeem tbem 7 Mr. Montgomery Suppose they be redeemed iiKe gold ond silver. Mr. Boutwell Which is not at all Mr. Montgomery They are re deem able. Mr. Boutwell Io.no place on this earth 13 a man bound to redeem a gold or silver dollar. They represent their own value. Mr. Montgomery We propose to redeem greenbacks the same as anv other money. Mr. Boutwell A gold dollar rep resents io much value that is, the bullion of which it is mads is actually wortn so mucn. It cuets labor to mine it. It cannot be created by any nat. x ou cannot mate it in your pappr milt Lore nor print it ia ash iugton. If his friend, the questioner, wianes to put an ttiis machinery ia motion then there will bo no limit to the supply of paper dollars, and the supply wul ba as worthless as it wa3 in Continental times. There is diff.'ienca between a dollar earned by card labor and one made with printing press. Mr. Montgomery Will vou tell the difference between a gold and paper dollar? Mr. Boutwell Yes, sir. Gold and silver are money because tbey have value in them and there is a limit to the supply and to tbe labor it costs to produce them. With the 100.000 printing presae3 in tbo couatrv there is no limit to the supply of paper cur rency. 1 Le effect of such an increase cf currency will work on no clas3 as badly as the poor man. The rich men will infest tbeir money carefully and not keep ir, but ihe laborer's wages will grow le33 and less. La bur advances last and falls first. No mere fraudulent rchemc to rob tbe poor man can be thought of. As to tbe payment of the bnds in green. backs. ou greenbackers Bay tbat the greenbacks are as good as gold ; then why do you claim that tbe bold ers cf bonds purcsed them with depreciated money? 10a are Incou sistent. Ycu know well enough tbat finco January, 1802, greenbacks have not been as good as gold, and no ra tional man will claim otherwise Maty of the bonds were issued before the premium on gold w as 10 per cent half cf them before gold was 12i Who now deres to risk the reputation of tho country by declaring now that these bonds shall be paid other than ia coin. Tbo credit of this country is what saved ber wnen she was threatened from enemies within tbe camp. By oaying in gold iostead of creenbacks the country has saved f 100,000,000 already. In 18C0 the six per cent, bonds were selling at 82i per cent. We had an interest account then of $133,000,000. thought we should get money cheap er, and accordingly nsucd bonds at lower rates and they were taken, and six per eent bonds were soon at par ; 800.000,000 ia five, four and a half and four per cent bonds were sold and 8,000,000 a year saved by reduo ing tbe interest on tbe public debt. In 1809 it was voted to pay these bonds in coin, and was it not a good thing to do ? I)oc3 not my friend ( Montgomery) think so? If he does not Le differs not from tbe men of the South who raised their hand against the country and sought Its destruc tion. Every scheme which invitoa a change is a fraud, 1 care not nnder what name it appears. Mr. Montgomery u hen did we promise to pay ? Jlr. Ltoutwell Tho republican par ty bas declared that it shall -e paid in coin, and tbe holders of the bonds never expected that tbey should be paid otherwise. If. we redeem in pa per and then do not redeem tbe mon ey is not that robbery ? Jiven bond holders, and tbey are riot all bloated, have some rights. Touching the exemption of 'bonds from taxation, he said thvt the con stitution of the United States irave Congress a right to borrow money without limit. If States could be al lowed to tax tbe bonds issued by Congress to raise money, any one of the States, if hostile to tbe measure for which the money is to be used, cculd levy such a hif h tax on them ai to drive tbem out of the market How quickly New York would have done this durfng tie war, or Kentuc ky. The power must be supreme in Congress. The interest is so low that the government gains considera ble out cf It. In anwer to a ques tion, he said that the Uue of tbe Bland dollar as a legal dollar, while morally dishonest, was legally honest. The aet of J?G0 justified tbe issue, bat it was bad policy, for it bad a tecden cy to depreciate the currency. Green back are by far the best currency, i! they are rausemab' a Kold; other wise they are anything font good. Jlonlon TrnceUer. Tie VreoWent ;ui Ibe Bepabifrana. VASUI$tjTOX, August fS.
