The Democratic press show symptom of
improvement in their uide of tpea'ning of
the President of tho United States. For
instance, a Southern journal of that stripe
remarks- "Ganaral Grant may not bo a
statesman, a philosopher or a soldier. Cat
he is not a fool."

Come, Colonel, we thought your modes

The Democratic majority In the Sta'e
Senate passed a resolution, on Saturday
last, discharging all the conference commit
tees. Should the House agree to the ad
journment resolution, the appropriation
bills would fail, thus leaving the soldiers'
orphans and common schools, the charitable
institutions and insane hospitals, without
funds for their maintenance, compelling the
latter to discharge their inmates. The Dem

for this state of affairs, and will be held to
a strict accountability by the people.

Alter a few terse remarks from the can
didates, the committee on resolutions pre
sented the following platform, which was
unanimously adopted :
The Republicans of Pennsylvania, assem
bled in convention, deelarc that
1. They d tnand of the Lecislature the
immediate puss-age of an act calling a Stale
Convention to revise and amend the Consti
tution for the purpose, among other things,
of abolishing and prohibiting special legis
lation ; securing the election of all State
officers by the people; establishing a judi
cial system thut will make justice prompt
and sure; and prcviding for the passage of
general laws that shall so encourage indus
trial enterprise, that Pennsylvania shall be
enabled to take her just place in the front
rank of all the States.
2. They demand of Congress that the
credit of the nation shall be faithfully main
tained ; ho'ne industry encouraged and pro
tected ; and adequate civil service system
established lor regulating appointments to
office; taxes reduced to the lowest possible
limit consistent with the steady, but, not too
rapid extinction -tif the national debt; the
honor of the republic sustained at home and
abroad; the tights of every man protected
in all the States, and every man, entitled
thereto, secured in the polling of one vote,
ami no more, at each election.
3. They declare their unalterable attach
ment to the principle of protection to home
industry in the levying of tariff duties, in
accordance with the wise policy which has
existed from the foundation of the govern
ment to this time, -
4. They commend the pobey of retrench
ment and wholesome enforcement of the
laws, which has prevailed since the election
of General Grant to the Presidency, and
which has resulted in the first two years of
his administration in reducing the national
debt over two hundred millions, and in cur
tailing the taxes to the extent of eighty mil
lions annually. They commend, also.the sim
ilar policy which has prevailed under Repub
lican rule in Pennsylvania, resulting in pay
ing off the war debt of three and a half mil
lions ; reducing the State debt from forty
to thirty millions; and in abolishing the
State tax on real estate. It is to the fact
that both the State and nation have been
in Republican hands, we owe the accom
plishment of such gratifying results j and it
is to the continuance f f that party in pow
er, the jieople must alone look for the con
tinuance of tbi policy. The return of the
Democrats to power in either State or na
tion, must inevitably be attended with a
returu to extravagance in expenditures, to
the impairment oi State and national credit,
anil to ttie nh.in lotmient vf that protection
to free labor under which our industry has
thriven and our people been made prosper
ou. 5. That in the judgment of this Co.ivcn
tion, the time has come when the State tar,
on personal. estate may be safely abolished,
and the other taxes, imposed by State laws,
may also prudently be redmcd without in
jury to the credit of the Commonwealth.
6. That as an indication of what the
penple may fear (mm a let'ii n of the Beni
cratie party to power, we point to the crim
inal waste of the time and money of the
people by the present Democratic majority
of the Sta'e Senate. Ttie legislature has
bctn now nearly five months in session, and
is not yet neatly through with its legitimate
biiMiiess, owing to the obstructive policy of
this majority. In all this time trrtmlj a
siivjle m:txure of puMic tittertvt' fs hern
perfected ; and t tie time has been wasted in
liieir e fforts to force on our State an unjust
apportionment, and to break down the reg
istry law against illegal voting, that they
might thereby pave tlie way to their return
to power through violence and fraud.
7. We commend to the support cf the
people of the State the candidates we have
this day nominated for State officers. They
are honest, capable and faithful to the Con
stitution, and in every way worthy the pub
lic eunti iciice. We ask for their rlnction.
as an endorsement of the State and National
administrations, as an approval of the time
honored principles of the Republican party,
which we rf-iiCirm in their nomination, and
a fitting i: buke to the Democratic party
for i!s destructive rational policy; for its
adherence !o the side cf violence and wrong
in the South ; and lor the spirit it lias be
trayed in the Senate of this State this win
ter where it has made everything bend to
the promotion of partisan interests, elefeat
ed the holding of a State convention to
amend our Constitution, wasted the public
time in childish Hilling, and entailed upon
the State a huge bill of expense for a ses
sion prolonged beyond enduran!;e,and which
has prevented the accomplishment of any
public good.
8. That our confidence in the Grmnes",
wisdom and integrity of our present worthy
Governor, John W. Geary, remains unsha
ken, and that we believe his qualifications
for the office he now holds are unquestiona
ble, as is clearly proved by the manner he
has brought the State in safety through
every storin.
9. That the administration of President
Grant meets the full approval of the Jte
publican party of Penni'lvania. His finan
cial policy, by which the national debt is
being steadily reduced ; the reduction in the
expenditures of the government ; the honest
collection of the revenue; his fidelity to the
principles of human rights, through which
the liberty of all is to be secured in every
part of the land ; his loyalty to the people
in having no policy to force against their
will; and the spotless inteerity of his ad
ministration commend him to the continued
confidence of the American people, and
point to him as the honored leader of our
party now, and its proper standard bearer
in 1872.
After some debate the President of the
Convention, and the candidates just nomi
nated, were empowered to select the Chair
man of the Stat3 Central Committee, the
Committee to be constituted in the usual
manner, and to consist of one from each
Congressional District.
The following resolution was then offered
and unanimously adopted :
Rtmhed; that tho thi nks of the people
of Pennsylvania are due to General llait
ranft and General Campbell for t he able,
faithful and efficient manner in which they
I have discharged tho duties of the offices of
Auditor General and Surveyor General.'
The utmost harmony and good feeling
prevailed throughout the entire proceedings
of the Convention.
' After tendering thanks to the presiding
officers, for the manner in which they dis
charged their duties, the Convention ad
journed, sine die., with three hearty cheers
for the ticket nominated.
Pennsylvania Republican.
The crushing defeat of the Republicans
of New Hampshire in March last was taken
by many superficial observers as the begin
ning of a widespread reaction which was to
sweep the Republican party out of existence.
The Democracy, grown weary with long de
ferrcd hopes, and defeated aspirations.hail
ed it as the beginning of the day which was
to elevate them to power and plunder.
Connecticut, followed soon after with an
equally crushing Democratic defeat, revers
ed the reasoning of the first class and rever
ted the second to its former despair and
despondency. It proved that the disease
which afflicted the Repnlliean party was
so incurable that it could not be remedied
by handshaking, and that it still retained
its old elements of vitality and visror. Since
that time there have been several minor
elections which more than confirmed these
conclusion".
Here in Pennsyl-.Tir.ia th? party was never
more united and harmonious than at pres
ent. What little we have had of a partial
Democratic rule has alarmed the people and
convinced them that safety can only be
found in thi rule of the Republicans. The
condition of national affairs, too, is suineient
to make them adhere to their original faith
and turn, from the revolutionary Knklux
with distrust. The State is as strongly Re
publican as ever, for despite the disastrous
defeats of the Western Pennsylvania Con
gressmen last fall we had a majority cn the
average county vote more than doable that
which Geary received in 1860. Previous to
that year the voto and majorities are shown

It will be seen from a glance at the above
that with an active canvass next fill there
is not the slightest probability that Penn
sylvania will reverse her voice. Our State
ticket is a good one, and if it is followed, as
we expect to see it, by an equally strong
one in this city, we shall rarry the State by
a majority tint shu'd astonish even ourselves,
and make it certain for Grant next year by
a vote larger than that we gave him in 186S.
What will be wanted only is active, earnest,
unremittina woik. I' fsx.
