We sincerely pity the Democratic party
and its journal in Pennsylvania. Without
principle, policy, or argument, their only
hops is in appealing to the prejudices of the
lowest stratum of our population.
A Republican Administration in a little
over one year has reduced the public debt
nearly one hundred and sixty million, and a
Republican Congress in one session lighten
ed the burdens of taxation over eighty mil
lions. a 4 . .
The miners d L:nn"ylvania,thro')h their
representatives at the late Labor Convention
declared emphatically for protection to native
industry. And yet the Democracy of the
state, while claiming to be the friendiof
the workitigweo, boldly avow themselves
free traders.
We see it announced from the Treasury
Department that the civil estimates for 1871
are sixteen millions of dollars less than those
of 1370. It is a promise of economy which
may be confidently accepted iu view of the
past extraordinary reduetions by the admin
istration of government -expenses and the
national debt.
Republican S ate administration has vin
dicated ite1f nowhere more signally than in
Michigan. There, as under the Federal
Government, a reduction of the debt has
proceeded simultaneously with reduction of
taxation. Within the last nineteen months
the State has paid off more than a million
and a half of its indebtedness reducing its
debt from $3,916, 1S5 to i2,444,5'3. The
State taxation exhibited a reduction of nearly
fA)0,000 as between ISf.S and lSC7;the
redaction in I SO'J amounting to nearly a
yaarter of a million more.
The 2rjt plauk of the platform of the
Democrats of fJeoraia declares that the
Democrats of that -ta'e, "standing upon the
principles of the party throughout the Union
bring into especial prominence, a applicable
to the present extraordinary condition of the
country, the unchangeable doctrines that
thisjls a union of States, and that the in
destructibility ot the States and of their
rights, and of their equality with each other
is an ic dispensable part of our political sys
tem." It is a bold reaffirmation of the princi
ples for which the rebellion was inaugurated
and upon it no doubt the Democracy from
Maine to Texas are untid.
Notwithstanding the Democracy are charg
ed with hav:njr agents in the Workinjinen's
National Congress at Cincinnati, who were
commissioned to draw the Coneress into a
support of the Democratic partv, it seems
they have really mad-j but little headway. At
atueetingof the general committee of the
Workingmen's Union of New York, held on
Friday last, an address wa adopted attribu
ting to the Democratic party all the hard
ships of the workingtrcn, and favoring a
ui.ieu with the Republicans. This example
will, without doubt, be imitated all over the
country, and particularly in Pennsylvania,
where Democracy and free trade are now al
lied. The Philadelphia Peers says: It is really
refreshing to hear of the Maine Democracy
mercilessly riddling Grant's adminiatration
by solemnly revolving that "it has violated
its sacred pledge to the people," furnishing
eitravagenee an I corruption instead of econ
omy and faithfulness in national aJairs.
Unfortunately for the Maine Democracy the
figures are against them. Figures never lie,
and resolutions do, whieli makes the dif
ference. Then perhaps, the Maine Demo
cratic papers don't publish the statements
about the collection of the revenue, and the
T ymer.t of the nat It ml debt, which very
seriously tends to mix thing-, in Maine, thus
"endangering the liberties of the people."
The bond of the State of Alabama, which
were generally below par under Democratic
rule before the war.when the Republic was
as the Democrats love to boast, at the heieht
of its prosperity, are now, under Republi
can rule, ".sometimes above and never below
par," a3 the papers of that State testify.
GuvernorOrr, of South Caroiioa, makes the
itne boast for that State. "The Republi
can party," he recently said, "whatever mar.
have been itsextravaganee or improvidence,
has raised the market value of the bonds of
the Stte from twenty-six cents in January,
1S68, to about ninety cents at the present
time." From Arkansas we have similar re
ports. Meanwhile, see what the Democ -at-ic
party has done for New York, Kentucky,
Maryland and other Statas unfortunate e
nough to submit to its rule.
THE TRENCH PEIJS3IAN AB.
What is Doing.
A series of battles were fought between
the French General, McMahon, on laat
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and the
Prussian, resulting in a defeat to the French
and driving them into Sdan. Later ac
counts give the capitulation and surrender
of the entire army of McMahon to the I'rns-
sians. The Emperor Napoleon, who was
in Sedan at the time, also surreudered him
self to King William. The Frerch engaged
in the battles at Sedan numbered near 200,
000, and Prussians about 240,000. McMa
hon was among the wounded. The loss on
both sides was very heavy.
Bazainc is still cooped up in Metz, after
having made a fruitless attempt to cut his
way out during the engagements at Sedan.
His capitulation is now looked for.
Whether this signal defeat of the French
will end the war remains to be seen,
but, evidently, the reign of Napolon is at
an end.
LATEST.
France revolutionized. The Republic
has been proclaimed with Gen. Trochu at
the head. On Sunday the Tuilleries were
sacked by a mob, and all the Imperial bees
and other Napoleonic insignia including
busts, statues and pictures of the 15ona
partes, thrown into the Seine. The French
Council of Ministers have issued a procla
mation announcing the disastrous defeat of
McMahon, and their determination to con
tinue the war. What the end will be, time
will only reveal.
The Uhlans. The Uhlans, who are cre
ating so much alarm in France by their raids
upon towns and villages far ahead of the line
of march of the Prussian army, also give
rise to perplexing reports as to the position
of the German forces. The Uhlans are light
cavalry, ot Asiatic origin, and were intro-'
duced into the north of Europe along with
the colonies of Tartars, who established
themselves in Poland and Lithuania. The
The name is derived from a Tartar word sig
nifying "brave." They are mounted on
light, active horses, and are armed with sa
bre, lance, and latterly with pistols or car-Line-.
The lance, from six to seven feet
long, is attached to a stout leather cord fas
tened to the left shouhler.and passed around
behind the back, so as to allow it to be
couched under the right arm. Immediately
below the point of the lance is attached a
strip of gaudy colored cloth, designed by its
fluttering to frighten the enemy's horses.
The early dress was Turkish, and the regi
ments or "polks" were distinguished from
each other by red, green, blue and yellow
uniforms. The Austrians and Prussians
first borrowed this kind of lisht cavalry from
thePoIes,and in 1734 MarshalSaxeattempt
ed to introduce the Uhlans into the French
service, and a "polk" of 1,000 men was or
ganized, but it was disbanded after the Mar
shal's death. Russia, Prussia and Austria
are the only governments maintaining Uhlan
regiments, which are reeruited from Western
Russia, Poland and Galicia.
The Democracy. This nondescript par
ty is an enigma. What is it now? What
does it amount to? What are its principles?
The Democratic party, as remembered it for
ty or fifty years ago, was a respectable party
and stood upon a good foundation. To day
it does not know itself.and no one else knows
it. It is a household divided that cannot
stand. Its tenets differ in the East, in the
North and in theSouth. Theouly thing upon
which it agrees is opposition to Republican
principles and Republican rule, and this is
harmless, because, the Democratic party,
weakened by its own dissensions and want
of principle, can nevermore be formidably
unless there i. a miracle wrought and the
party is thoroughly regenerated.
Hon. James L. Orr, one of the old time
Democratic: leaders in the South, has an
nounced his intention of voting for the
Republican candidate for Givemor. He
declares tbnt "if good and true men will
consent to accept the reconstruction acts of
Congress and the legislation. State and
National, growing out of them ; if they will
accept the new conditions surrounding us ;
if they will affiliate with the Republican
organization, wa wiil profit largely by what
they have done correctly ; and much can be
done to correct abuses and malfeasance that
may have grown up in the anomalous scale of
affairs surrounding us."

Minority Convention.
A State Convention of the minority coun
ties convened on Wednesday, August 31st,
in the city of Reading. The main object of
the. Convention seems to be the adoption of
a system of cumulative voting, to secure the
rt presentation of Republican minorities in
tha State Legislature, aud in all official
bodies.
The convention was called to order by E.
J. Moore, of Alietitown, who moved that
George Lear, of Doylestnwn, be appointed
Chairman.
Joseph Ritner, of Cumberland, was then
appointed Secretary, aud Morgan R. W ills,
of Montgomery county. Assistant Secretary
of the Convention.
John II. Oliver, of Lehigh, moved that a
committee of five be appointed by the Pres
ident to receive the credentials of the dele
gates, which was agreed to.
On motion of John A. Schwartz, of Cum
berland, a committee consisting of one from
each Representative district was appointed
on resolutions.
A. II. Chase, of York, moved that Dem
ocrats have the same privileges in the con
vention as Republicans.which was ruled out
of order, as the previous resolution had not
been disposed of.
J. A. Schwartz moved that all resolutions
be placed beiore the Committee on Resolu
tions without debate.
Mr. ('base asked that his resolution be
taken into consideration by the convention,
which gave rise to a debate on the subject,
when, at the suggestion of the President,
the resolutiou was withdrawn until after the
organization of the convention.
The Secretary then proceeded to read off
the counties in the State, when delegates
from the following counties auswered as
their counties were called off:
Berks, Bucks. Carb. n, Clinton, Colum
bia, Cumberland. Lancaster, Lehigh, Mon
roe, Montgomery. Moutour, Northampton,
Philadelphia, Pikev Schuylkill, Wayne,
Westmoreland and York.
Col. Fisher, of Lancaster, stated that if
Democrats ere not to be admitted into the
Convention, he then alone represented Lan
caster county, but two gentlemen, Demo
crats, were present, and he would like to
see them admitted into the Convention.
Win. If. Ainey, of Lehigh, moved that
representatives present, not accredited as
delegates, be invited to take seats in the
Convention as advisory members, w'r.h all
the privileges of delegates, except the right
to vot, which was referred to the Commit
mi'fee on Credentials.
The President then announced the vari
ous committees, and the Convention ad
journed until afternoon.
In the afternoon the Committee on Per
manent Organization reported tha following
officers, viz .
President George Lear, of Bucks.
Vice Presidents S. W. Geer, Schulk

Wayne.
Secretaries Jos. Ritner, Cumberland ;
Morgan R. Willis, Montgomery ; E. J.
Moore, Lehigh ; J. W. Wood, Northamp
ton; Benj. L. Berry, Philadelphia.
The President made a few pertinent re
marks upon assuming the duties assigned to
him.
J. S. Rickards, Esq., Chairman of the
Committee on Resolutions, reported the tol
lowing, which were unanimously adopted :
tlexnhed, That- the practice which has
grown up in the Legislature of Pennsylva
nia of submitting all matter of local legisla
tion to the exclusive control ot local Repre
sentatives, lias practically placed the local,
political and business interests of minoiity
constitu'eniies requiring legislation, at the
mercy of majority local representatives, and
has afforded such a continued series of
wrongs and of petty oppression, as loudly
calls for reform.
AVW.-.W. That we can conceive of no
other remedy for such wrong and oppression
except in a systsm which will secure to each
local minority, as near as can be. its propor
tional share of li?al representation.
ir&i'ved. That such minority representa
tion will not only remedy the wrongs, of
which we more especially complain, but will
also tend to lessen unjust and illiberal parti
sanship, and to promote greater purity in
legislation.
Jtfxolrtd, That a fair and proportionate
representation of minorities by districts is
not only just, but is in accord with the spir
it of all our State political systems, which
provide for the election of Legislators by
districts in order to protect the minority at
large from the unjust domination of the ma
jority, as well as to guard the interests of
localities, and which we propose now to sup
pleinent by placing the local minority be
yond the reach of the unjust domination of
the local majority.
AVWtW, That in view of the taking of
the present census and the approaching
legislative re apportionment of the State,
we recommend the passage of acts of As
semble by the next Legislature embodying
the principles of minority represent;-tion in
reference to the legislature, boards of coun
ty commissioners, directors of the poor, and
conuty nnditors, as well as township and
other offices.
A'tsoh-'d, That we recommend the pas
sage of an Ait of Ass inbly ptoid'.ng for a
Constitutional Convention, to be composed
of members elected, on the minority princi
ple, and to such convention, in mating the
many constitutional reforms so loudly de
manded for years, we respectfully recom
mend that the principle of minority repre
sentation be embodied in the new constitu
tion of our Commonwealth.
Hexolced, That we tender our hearty con
gratulations to the peoplo of Illinois for their
treat and salutary advance in the ait of self
government, by adopting the "plan of the
free vote, fr the election of Representatives
in their Legislature; and for the choice of
Directors and Managers of all incorporated
companies in their State; and we pledge to
them our best diorl to extend this whole
some reform which they have begun, so far
as our power aud influence may extend, to
Federal, State and Municipal elections;
confident that thereby we shall promote the
Lest interests of our whole people, joined
together in a union of fr e institutions.
Rexolred, That the people of Pennsylva
nia of every political party be invited to
unite in promoting the important objects
embodied in the forgoing resolutions.
I'exohed, That the Chairman of this
Convention shall appoint an Executive
Committee of twenty-one persons, to serve
during the coming year, whose duty it shall
be to use all proper measures to promote
tha objects and purposes of the above reso
lution. liexolvcd, That acommitteeof five be ap
pointed, who shall lay the proceedings of
this convention before the next Legislature,
and who shad be authorized by means of an
address, aud by personal intercourse, to en
force upon the members of the two houses
the objects contemplated in the resolutions
passed by this eouvchtion.
After the adoption of the resolutions Sen
ator Buekalew was introduced and addres
sed the Convention, explaining and defend
ing the cumulative system, contending that
it would save immense expense iu elections,

After the transaction of some other unim
portant business, thanking the commission
