EevolutionI Warl" Revolution and 'war ig 'what is ir.es.nt by the EandaD, and Wood, and Tildes leaders of the Democracy when they doelare that the Lower House of Concjreas shall secede from Congress if Tilden is not declared elected on the 14th day of February, the day declared by the Constitution of the United States aa the time wLen the result of election shall be announced and the President of the United States declared by the Presi dent of the Senate in the presence of both Houses. Whichever party, whether Hayes or Tilfien, that it unelected by the re Biilt of the opening of the regular certificates from the Electoral Col leges of the respective States must abide by the result. If any real grievance or wrong, or fancied grievance or wrong, is felt, the only way to bring it properly be fore the country and obtain redress, fvr the aggrieved one, is to contest, much after the fashion of an ag- grivcd Assemblyman, Senator, Con gressman, or Governor. Because the man aggrieved is a candidate for the Presidency of the country, is no rcoro a roau for revolution and tear, thiin (Le !.;rgrievcment of a Congress mna cr any other officer ; the prinei "pk'B of right and wrong apply to both the same, Mr. Hayes could contest by peace able means the 6eat of ilr. TilJen, or ilr. Tilden could contest by peace able means the Feat of III. Hayes. They Lave no other remedy against lir&l or fancied grievances or wrongs. What a monstrous proposition it wo?iId Feeui to the country if two ( Vngicssional candidates who were in dispute r.bont an election should hive their friends to threaten war in cane they were not respectively de clared e'.eoted. To the credit of the Republican party le it said that no threat of war has coTue from it. No part" of Cong:ess have the right to remain away on the day the 14th lay of February when the result is to be announced. The Constitution is positive that it must be prouit as a whole body. The body that is present will consti tute ths Congress of the United fthtes under the Constitution and its laws. No part of Congress has the right to withdraw. MernWrs have the right to resign and go home. All of the Republicans have the 1 iht to resign and go home ; so with ' the Democrats the result of which xvonld be the election of other men. Cut neither Republicans or Demo crats have the right to withdraw and btl up another government and de clare 6ome one elected who was not I so declared by the regularly consti tuted joint meeting of Congress. Such a course would be Revolution end War. Whoever attempts such a course attempts Revolution and War, and sllt-mpts what the country, irrespec tive of party, will not permit. The mcu who attempt such an out rage -.vlli be treated as the outrage merits. The country is determined that the cfTjce-holdcib and the men who want office sL'ul not plunge the country into war. Xo nien but the Randall and Wood elates of nu n are talking of Revolu tion und War. Even the South is opposed to Revolution and War as a nieans of redress, as may be learned by the following paragraphs, from its presp, from different points of that jiecticn of the- country : TLe Hai'b, N C, Observer says: "lake U tle cbaiiccs, but do notptub tb;s controversy itito war, aa that will lutallibly rcsuit not only in the defeat of Ti.den, but id the ruin of the I'em ocra'ie party."

The niott potent weapon tilt be a sera-rt!pu.-iy accurate factory of the can vacs, a careful review of tbe motives wincb "jverueJ a najority o( tbe Amer ican people. Tbe people are not excit ed and do not threaten." Tbe Aug usia (Ga.) Chronicle says, "Tbe snuth bas had war enough, and w!l have no more. Northern Demo crats are by no means anxious for tbe fray." Tbe Richmond Enquirer thinks "our duty is to preserve a passive policy. Jf the northern Democracy bave any -eu equal to the occasion we want to ler and see them." The AUnta Constitution says, We awtit tbe aae. We are in the bands of our frauds at the north. If tbey are j eotifiit ar content. Tbe South is j -prepared tn nuecort and maintain any ci. that mat l e ken by the north- j tra iv ciiorraif. A New Orleans Democrat, writing to Cleveland, Ohio, ia reported in tbe Herald to have said, " I do not find aay southerner here who wants to get up another fight. A great many say that if tbe northern Democrats want to get up a muss, tba south will be oo band ; bat the northern Democrats must take a hesd in tbat muss as well as get it op before the snath will go in." Senator Key, of Tennessee, baa said io Congress tbat the people of bis sec tion did not want and would not bavt war. Hou. Ben Hill said. "I sba!l de cline to furnish anv personal gore ; and if my friend from New York will spill bis, why, more the pitj." . . . The Augusta Seutinel says: "Tbe northern Democracy may as well un derstand, once for all, tbat tbe white people of tbe south do not intend going to war for the Presidency. They will support all just, constitutional and peaceable attempts to inaugurate Mr Tilden. Bat beyond this they will not go. If Mr. Hayes is declared elected by triad and is installed by foree, the northern Democrats mast undertake the task of putting bio out and putting Mr. Tilden in. We of the south will bare none of it." m m m I s The Juniata Sentinel. During the summer of 1846, CoL A. K. McChu e, now of the Philadel phia Timet, Professor David Wilson, of Airy View Academy, and Hon. James Mathers, deceased, and a few others whose names are not accessi ble, projected The Juniata Seutinel. ilr. ibdnre was only 19 years of age, and had just finished an appren ticeship at the tanning business. Mr. Mathers was the chief stock holder, and firm friend of the em bryo editor McClure, with -Those mental ab:lity be was so well ac quainted that he deemed him the fit test of all the aspirants for tbe edi torial chair of the new Whig paper. and thus it was that Mr. McClure was started on Lis editorial career, which steadily grew brighter, as years rolled Iv, till at this (late, Decern! er 2 j, 1870, he stands among the fore most newspaper writers of tlie age ; The unerring discernment of Mr. Mathers is abundantly testified to in the editorial career of the edi tor of his choice.- John Schweier, father of the pre sent editor and proprietor of the paper, was at that time engaged hu gely in the manufacture of furni ture at Mifiiiiitown, and anually ship ped large quantities of his work to the different places along the Penn sylvania canal ; returning from one of his trips of shipment and 6a! e of furniture, he brought the press, type and other fixtures, for the publica tion of the paper, in his furniture boat from Hmiisburg. The first number of The Juniata Sentinel was issued at Mifflintown on the 0th day of DecemWr, 184G, with Mr. McClure as editor, who soon, also, became its proprietor, and con ducted the paper as such until in March, 1852, when he sold it to John J. Patterson, now United States Senator from South Carolina. Mr. Patterson condncted the pa per one year, and at the end of that time sold it to A. J. Greer, now edi tor of the Altoona Tribune. E. B. Me Crura, now proprietor of the Juniata Tribune, formerly The Independent, was associated with Mr. Greer in the publication cf the Sentinel, and con tinned an associate until in 183(5, Then he retired form the partner ship, and Mr. Greer condncted the paper until in the fall of 1857, when lie sold it to John M. Laird, and J. W. Camplell, of Perry county. Laird is in the spirit land, and Campltell has drifted away we know not where. They sold to W W. Davis who died in the spring of 1872. while connected with the Juni ata Republican during a period of his proprietorship, Davis had John II. Bentley. deceased, connected edi torially with the Sentinel in due course of time Mr. Davis 6old the Sentinel to Professor A. L. Guss, now editor and proprietor of the Huntingdon Globe. During the own ership of Professor Guss, CoL John J. Patterson became a partner in the ownership and management of the paper, and when the Professor took charge of the Cassvillc Soldiers' Or phans' School, the Colonel bought his interest, and thus became the 6ole owner of the Sentiml, the second time. The ownership of the Sentinel was vested in CoL Patterson, with H. IL Wilson as publisher until in August 18Gi, when M. L. Littlefield bought and conducted it till on the 8th of June 1870, when the present proprietor B. F. Scbwt-ier bought the paper of Mr. Littlefield aud CoL Patterson. In the fire of the morning of Au gust 23, 1873, one of the two great incendiary fires that devastated the town, the Sentinel office, and all its contents were destroyed. In this misfortune Sir. W. M. Allison elitor of the Juniata Repulltcan, a paper projected in the early days of the year 1806, and started in Apnl, 18(itj iiy him, offered the use of the Republican office for the publication withstanding the fire, did not miss an ussne. It reappeared the next week just as if the outrage of the in cendiary had not overtaken it On the 13th day of October B. F. Schweier bought the Juniata Repub lican from the editor, W. M. Allison, he, at that time, having all of the stock of the concern, known as the "Juniata Rrpubltcin Printing Jlnsocxa tion" excepting what D. B. 8p;uioglc, Esq., of East Waterford, and Prof. David Wilson, of Airy View, held, which stock was also subsequently bought, and thus B. F. Schweier bought and consolidated the Juniata Sentinel and Juniata Republican, and iKsned the first consolidated number on the 22nd day of October, 1S73, and has from that date to the present continued the ownership, the publi cation and editorial management of the paper.

The Jubi lee on that Occasion. The anoual coneert of the Presby terian Sabbatb School was held last Thursday evening, in tbe Presbytenan cbnrcb in this place. Tbe evening was also made tbe occasion of a Christmas Jubilee, and tbe doable ceremony at tendant upon tbe formulated Sabbath School questions and answers, and the programme adhered to in tbe distribu tion of Christmas gifts was of an inter esting character, farexceedieg anythipg of , the same nature participated in by tbe Presbyterian Sabbatb School. The assembly was large. Chairs and benches were brought into requisition to seat tbe assembly, as the peas or permanent seats were quite unable to accommodate the people who attended to et joy the examination of the school, nd witness the distribution of tbe gifts and good things on the Christmas Tree tbat stood in its everereen beauty at the palpit end of tbe cbarcb, reaching from tbe floor to the ceiling. Preceding the review Mr. S. B. Lon don read bis repor as Treasurer of fbe School. Upon the close of the review, or ex amination of tbe Sabbath School on the lessons of the past year, by the efficient Superinte ident, Dr. Thomas A. Elder, A. J. Patterson, Esq.. a member of tbe ehnrch, was asked to come forward and deliver an address. The request was complied with by Mr. Ptteroo taking tbe platform and delivering an extemporaneous address. He opened by recognizing the important Sabbath School exercises or review, to which the audience had listened with such at tention, and said that that was indeed tbe first great cause of the meeting, but coming jujt at tbe time of the 1877th anniversary of the birth of the Redeemer of men. it coold not well be passed without a fitting tribute to the greatest event that bas taken place among men, for the fallen race. The anniversary hour, or day, it is true was past, but yet so recently gone tbat its marvelous impression had not lost its influence upon us. Frott the pleasant introductory Mr. Patterson passed to the consideration of Christ mas Day : the manner of its oberv- arce in past days, in the Old World, from the earliest days of its recogoi tion among men as the turning point in the religious career of huiuank nd ; The manner of observance in Germany, Northern Europe aud England, in Fen dal times, and more modern times, was dwelt on in a highly interesting and in structive way. But while the address was ladened with historical references and other data, such as the student and thinker ever consider as essential points in an address, tie great central bfure that occupies tbe minds of the children, boys and girls, the great vast army that is closely pressing in tbe wakj of tbe generation to which the i-peaktr belongs, and who soon will be in the same busy whirl of busi ness life, was not forgotten To leave Santa Ciaus out of such an address would be, as the critic said, to play Ilmlct with Hamlet leftout. Mr. Patteison did not forget Santa Claus, but be had bini moving about, all the way down from the da) of Baronial Christ mas festivity to the prestnt tiuic, until one almost imsgioed tLat the good gift giving old man was somewhere secreted behind the Christmas Tree looking out from among the candies and evergreen, ready, as soon as the speaker should end bis speech aud give him a chance, to come out and hiud around Lis gifts Io a very pleasant way Mr. Patter sou closed his address by announcing that tbe time had come to honor the time-honored custom cf giving the pre pared gifts to tbe children, who were eagerly awaiting them. Tbe speech bad soharpetted tbe desire of thelit tle people, and big people too, that when it was fiuished tLeir eyes fairly sparkled with anticipation, aud the at titude of tLeir bodies indicated tbat there should be nt- time lost iu bring ing out the baskets. The Superintendent called the infant class first. Quite a murmur greeted the dear little people as they filed out and in front ot the tree to receive what was ia store for them. It almost made one's heart ache not to be one of their number as they marched out and into their seats. From tbat class, up, up, by regular steps ol programme till the Bible class was reached, the classes filed, out to get, and into the seat with tbe tiny baskets filled with candy aud surmounted by a large orange. The murmur tbat greeted tbe infant class was increased to an outburst of genu ine heartfelt merriment when tba Bible class filed up in lront of tbe tree, for it included such aged people as Judge blder and -Mr. Hutchinson -McAlister ; tbey all preserved their gravity and re ceivd tbe presents with beooming dignity. Af ter tbe classes had all been served tbe Superintendent of tbe school said a number of gifts yet remained to be given," whereupon Mr. E. S. Parker stepped forward and presented to the superintendent a handsome and valua ble gold pen, aud gold pen aud pencil holder iu a neat case; then for the School and Church the superintendent presented He v. T. J. Sherrard with a large basket, heavily ladened with sub stantial good things. Again the Doctor was called on to do the agreeable in presenting a valuable and handsome gold pen, gold pen and pencilholder, to Mr. A. J. Pattersou in behalf of Mr. Patterson's class. The class taught by Mr. James Bay ers made tbe Doctor tbe happy medium through which to r resent their teacher a mountain cake, a "White Mountain" cake of such proportions that Mr. Buy ers could uo' take it with him at that time, but mast needs pat it down til a more eonvtni nt time, which doubt less bas long since passed- Through the hands of the Superio tendent, in behalf of Master Willie Nangle, son of Mr. E. D. Xangle, Miss Beckie Crawford received a handsome handkerchief. In bebalf of the school, the Superin tendent Dr. Elder presented the Janitress of the Cbareh Sallie M Nolty with a dress neatly wrapped in paper, and to Johnny McXulty, the Janitor of tba Church, a black felt hat, which Johnny acknowledged by a bow which would knock out of comparison many a bow that bas been declared to be quite nice.

Some days ago tba Democratio Stats Committee met at llarnsburg to issue an address to tbe people of Pennsyl vania. Taken as a whole it is sot a bad ad dress, and is aa nice a specimen of po litical sugar coating aa tbe Democratio leaders bave been guilty of in many days. It proves that tbe leaden of tbat party do not feel safe with the mass of their own party in declaring flatly for a MexicaoixatioD of tbe National govern ment of South Carolina bas been Mex canned. Tbey do not feel safe in de claring tbat in tbe event tbat Tilden is not declared elected tbey will demand that Congress, or tbe Lower House of Congress, shall secede aud set up for Tilden. Yet wbilo tLe address is in honeyed words, it is none tbe less emphatic that Tilden baa been elected. Tbe address indirectly saya there is no adjustment to make, but to announce tbe fart tbat Mr. Tilden bas been elected. It is the same stcry tba! tbey proclaimed before tbe result at tbe polls last November was known. But here ia the address To the people of Pennsylvania : We address you in tbat spirit of patriotism which is common to all the citizens of this Commonwealth. Tbe political con dition of our country is Iraught with impending peril. The expression by tbe people of tbeir intention to support those constitutional means which will settle tbe issue made on tbe question of the Presidency may prevent bat other wise all will deplore. V batsver vio lates either tbe letter or tbe spirit of the Constitution tends to weaken, and may destroy, oar eoveniment. There is not a question or a measure relating to tbe peace and happiness of tbe whole people exciting controversy and por teudiog disoord for which tbe Constitu tion fails to provide. The election of President and Vice President of the United States is a high and solemn duty of tbe people of the several States. To attempt to evade obedience to tbe popular will by any effort to distort the meaning of tbe Con stitution or the interpretation of law to cek to set up barriers agaiost the face of this declared will is substituting rev olutionary expedients fit the constitu tional methods. Tbe Senate and Rouse of Represen tatives of tbe United States bave by tbe Constitution the sols and exclusive power to settle all questions which re late to the validity of tbe electoral votes of the several States. In one event the Constitution gives the House of Representatives the power to elect a President. We therefore earnestly invoke from you every effort cognizable by law in the execution and support of the con stitutional methods by which is to be determined who are the lawfully sleeted President and . Vice President of the United States. We invite those who feel the present danger to aid io all lawful means which may induce the Senators and Represen tatives of the States and people in Con gress assembled to obey tbe plain intent and meaning of the Constitution and laws, and not in defiance thereof at tempt to place in the high offices of the government men who title is tainted with fraud. As free citizens of this Commonwealth we suggest that you consider these measures which such a contingency may invite or command. We believe a large number of our citizens who are too proud to be bound by the designs of tbe managers of the present administration of the general government are prepared opecly to con deoin tbe disposition they manifest to plunge the cruntry into a sea of dan gers, ratber tuan return to tue people the trust committed to them for a speci fied period of a Presidential term. If the people will with courage and calmness, in foil faith in tbeir sover eignty as the source of all political power, make these declarations, then their servants may listen and obey. Believing that these opinions are en tertained by all honest and patriotic citizens, we declare tbat Samuel J . Til den and Thomas A. Hendricks were, on the seventh day of November last, elect ed President and Vice President of tbe United States. Self gratulation bas do part in this our solemn statement of the fact upon which we intend to rest our future conduct. And secondly, that we call upon the members of both Houses of Congress to adopt snob lawful means as may lead to tbe official declaration of the fact tbat Mr. Tilden and Mr. Hendricks bave been elected, and we urge them to resist with all tbeir power tbe pro posal to settle tbe ascertainment of a fact alra'y accomplished, by a refer erce of it to any other tribunal than that already appointed to decide it by the Constitution of the United States. The Permanent Exhibition has had presented to it the Brazilian Enclo sure, which attracted such attention and elicited so much admiration dur ing the CentenniaL The Commission, through their Secretary, J. M. Da Silva Cor tin to, assures the managers that the Brazilian government will forward their productions at an early day. As the Emperor, Dom Teibro, took such an absorbing interest in our International Exposition, we must expect from his dominion an exhibit of its resources that will excel its late magnificent display. Not to be behindhand, the Spanish Commis sion have donated the arch and deco rations erected in the Main Building by the Spanish government The Swedish enclosure has also been pre sented to the managers of the Per manent Exhibition. These enclo sures will be assigned different posi tions from those which they occu pied, having places given them along the nave where they will show to greater advantage. Everything in dicates that when the Exhibition opens in April next it will , surpass the superb display made in. the Main Building during the International Exhibition of 1876. A'orth American. - .
