BOOM& STATE TEEASBER, - A Harrisburg correspondent of Otei , Philadelphia; Tin* says ,", .'lt has been widely , supposed that Senator Davies would not -eneountez any serious oppo_ abaci. -But within the peat few days there aro evidenoes of a movement to bring \ forward another candidate. The “Regular" managets are groomtng Gen. Bailey, of Fayette. i for the race. They say they have no personal objection to Senator Davies, biit put it upon the ground that some of the Regulars will not support him. They 'urge in, favor of. Gen. Bailey that he is a new man, that be has not been involved in any partycontests, and that he has a good as a soldier. -He commanded one of the Pennsylvania regiments and at the close of the war was made a brigadier genera The only civic position he bee held was that of delegate to the Chicago - esonsamtioti where be was one of the 806 that vote& for Grant. He is now a merchant and shin& high as to character and integi rity. Whether this movement will les& to a contest in the convention remain" to be seen; some of ,the Regulars are committed to Senator Davies, and will? support him, Wbatevart course may be taken by she ir leaderg. If be goes into the convention as a candidate, he will have a iarge body of friends, and those who are now Pluming a different cam eaign may find it impossible to beat him. The fact that the "Regular" man agers have started. out Gen. :Bailey is significant of their intention to push one of their kidneyto the front. Senator Davies,while not offensively aggressive, faithfelliitepresented his constituents in pie Senatorial strug gle of last whiter, and stood manh:dly in the briint of the battle against personal dictation in the election of a United States senator in place of William A. Wallace. - jln this action he was unanimously commended and sustained by his Republican constit uents at home. He could not have done otherwise and, maintained his political standinvhere. If for he is to be cast saideind, an issue upon this basis is to be made by a combination, of the personal suprem acy managers on Gen. Bailey, whose only political service noted is hie ac tion in the Chicago Convention where his vote invade one of the 306 fOr Gen. Grant for a third term, we ad vise that! . , it be met resolutely and squarely. The Mends of Mr. Davies make no issue with this class of Re publicans; but urge his nomination on the ground of his entire fitness for the office and his soundness as a Republican. It is a mistake for party managers, to thrust such an issue into the Convention. But if in their folly, they force it, it will only result in intensifying the prevalent opposition to the disposition of that wing of the party to maintain a boss rulership over it, and must result in harm. Mr. Davies is not naturally a factionist, tbut conserva tive as between opposing elements in the party, and has bsien in the past; censured by his constituents for too strong a leaning toward those who now propose to defeat - his nomina tion on the ground of his independ ent action last wintei. If wise coun sels prevail no such *me will, be made in the Convention against Mr. Davies, but if made, it will draw to his support many, who seeing the injustice and impolicy of such an op position, that have heretofore been classed with the Cameron-Quay wing of the party. It is time to command a ' , halt upon this. kind of political warfare, and if harmony and success is desired the issue will not be forced upon the Convention. - _ Ws publish this week neon Paek ard's reply to Mr. LaPorte's article of last week on the nomination of County Treasurer, &c. Mr. Packard attacks the integrity of Mr. Laporte and indulges in such vulgar innuen dos as rfnnprincipled political vaga bond," "liar," &a. For the hundredth time he arraigns Mr. Laporte upon the charge of taking exorbitant mileage as a mem ber of the Legislature in 1855. Without explanation, from the stand point of to-day - whearailread facil ities reach almost all localities, it may appeax that taking mileage via New York in 1855 was . unjustifiable and not:defensible. The facts are that at that time the Northern Cep. tral was note open to travel, neither was the Philadelphia and Erie. Har risburg could only be rtsached by continuous rail by taking the . New York and Erie . Road to New York, thence. by Philadelphia to Harris burg. By stage to Cattawissa and ralfrom there,via Auburn over the DaPphin and Susquehanna coal road, Harrisburg could be reached by this tedious and uncomfortable route. All along the northern tier counties after the completion of the New York and Erie Road, the members from Mckoan, Potter, Tioga, Bradford, Susquehanna, 41:c., reached Harris burg by this route, and were paid mileage on this ; basis up to 1856, When the Northern Central and Phil adelphia and Erie made a connected line to Catawissa. Thereafter mile age was computed by-that route up to the time the Northern- Central was opened from Sunbury to Harris. burg, making continnotps railway travel from . Elmira, Troy, and Can? ton, to the capital. Since that time mileage has been computed by this route and ,is regular and fixed. When it is considered that the pay of members in 1855 and 1858 was but $5OO, there is some justification for members, as Mr. Laporte, taking the most feasible route and comput ing mileage. thereby. His salary and mileage amounted to about.oso When Mr. Laporte wasthe Leg islature and voted for Judge Kelley for U.S. Senator instesd'of Simon Cameron, the cite= nominee, the Eeprrplicans had not a majority on joint ballot, and therefore his vote could not have changed the result. Had General Cameron', election de pended upon his vote, he without, doubt would have cast it for him. Mr. Packard will hardly be able to cover his.own political sins by a get general denial of Mr. 14sporte's 9h ar gelit 4ir bY an 14teMln:impeach 'his- acknowledged integtity.hy inghiM hard =nes. : - He to answer Date.

[Silned]] CARDINAL JACOBIN L SECRETARY MAINZ'S REPLY. Secretary Blaine sent the following answer: "Please convey to Hts Holiness the sincere thanks with which this govern ment received the kind , expression; of his prayerful interest in. behalf of the stricken President. Since your message was sent the President's condition. has been changed, and we ire now filled with anxiety, but not without_ hope.

The speaker was Dr. Buck% a medical superintendent of the London Asylum far the Insane,. and the remark was made in reply to an Advartiser repro. sentative, who had casually asked his opinion of Guitean, the would-be-rissa; sin of President Garfield. "r do not think . be is insane. He is in full ices._ session of all his mental faorditisa," the Doctor continued. "Then, to what. do you attribute his conduct?', asked the reporter. "Well, said the Doctor." the impression I have formed from what I have :real] of his proceedings is that be is a moral idiot. When a man is born deficient in mental faculties we call him a fool. If he - is totally destitute of these faculties we call him an idiot. When a man is deficient in moral qual ities he is a oriminarin nature if not in deed; if he is totally destitute of mend qualities he is amoral idiot:" _ "Have you-met many snot?' "Yes. There are some in. the twin* now. But insanity is not a necessary accompani meet of moral idiocy. In fact, the idiocy may co-ezist with a high degree of intellectuality. The American who shot a night watchman in Hamilton a few'years ago was a moralidicit; so also .was a man wbo killed another in Sarnia because of a disagreement:in the meas urement of some wood." -Dr. Backe went on to describe to the reporter the nature of moral idiocy.

Let us inmate of a conceit that Americans' 'are ton to' indulge, in thinking that our Republic stands upon immovable foundations and cannot be overthroin. Perhaps the old Roman's conceit was as:great as own. Some orator 'might have stood up in the Forum and harangued after the style of• our Fourth-of-July: "Fellow Citizens: ,':Behold our magnificent Rome,, built on these.renowned the Maresca, the 'world. - Her au thority is unbounded. - provinces are paying us tribute. The highways . of the world center at this capitol , Three cheers for the Roman eagle& and three times three fore the eternal: city." But what' became ofißome within, three centuries from lir day of biasting? Overrun by Barbarians, but not untilnhe had first been over whelmed by internal vim and civil wars. And is the present prosperity , of these United States a sure Raman tee of her pcpstuity? Future generations are to inherit a wealth which they have not earned; and like all inherited wealth, there is danger of our thoughtlessly squander ing it. Observe how the grandson of somnmillioniare spends his inheritance. He bas Mt idea what his possessions cost, and a day' of rioting scatters the earnings of a lifetime. Does this gen eration realize - what our institutions cost? What labors were endured to clear up the wilderness ,and to mu tat' our freedom at Bunter Hill and Valley_ Forge? Will the next genera tion; and the next, realize any better than we, how dearly the privileges of American citizenship have been pur chased? Shall we tbiiy anJ sell in the common Market those mimed fran chises which our Fathers valued be yond price? Shall we scramble for office, and prostitute tue dignity of the magistrate to the egetism and smart tricks- of the place-seekers ? Shall we boast of our great'country, the home stead which our Fathers have left us while we repudiate their religion and their political integrity ? But this squandering of our political estates is what iii_done by some of the lineal de scendents of Plymouth Rock and Inde pendence Hall. If this -be true of our native popula tion, what can we expect of the multi 7 tudes that are now thronging us from the Old World ? The largest- share of the emigrants are from the most ignorant classes in other countries, while those who possess some degree of culture, have been trained to manners and religion very different trim Ours. They come 'to us without tknowing what their new freedom implies, or hOw to use their privilegesns American citizens. Crnde men able to wield the axe and the shovel have done us effect ive service, when we had a wilderness to possess and wanted as large a popu lation as possible to chink,up the waste places. Even the heathen Chinee has shown himself a faithful workman in building our Pacific railways. But that time of sparse population has passed. We have already many cities from' with over-crowded masses of human beings, and our open spaces on the frontier are fast filling up. Uncle Sam has but a few more farms to give away, while emigration is immensely on the increase. How early our an nual arrival . Of three or fohr hundred thousand may . increase to a million. Russia can spare us a few million , of her serfs, with quite a sprinkling of Nihilists among them, to make us un comfortable with their chiggers and torpedoes. India and China can spare us a hundred million people, and fit them out with . pagodas and idols to take possession of thisfree land in the interests.of paganism. Our Fathers 'did not foresee the vastness of this tide of emigration. They must have searts of stone who do not pity the ? oppressed multitudes that fly to oa, and it is far from my intention to' cre ate any hateful prejudice against them; but we.need to open our eyes to the perils involved in receiving foreigners faster than. they can - be assimilated to ourinstitutions, and made capable of discharging their new responsibilities. Great wisdom will be required in de. aiding what should.pe done, but it is evident that something must be done to discriminate between„ different cusses of- emigrants. It would not be right to exclude - the Chinese because they are heathen, and to admit others, who while professing Christianity, act worse than the heathen; but it will soon be necessary' to refuse admittance to our ports of all outlaws driven away from other countries,. to keep a sharp lciokont that jesuits and Nihilists do not borough too deep 3 y in, our institu tions„ to withhold a llparticipation in the government from men not born on our soil, and allow none to vote, not even the decendents- of the original colonists,, unless able, to pass' a fair examination in the first principles of government. . Our rapidly groiring cities are en dangering our system of government. "Give us the manufacturing and com 4 mercial towns with their exciting com petitions," is the general outcry. Very fast does i the city population multiply but faster multiplies the crime. New York has long bad the reputation of being the worst governed city in the world by the admission her own citizens.

Older countries .::have often 'suffered from the uneven:distribution of wealth, molting tyrants of the few and impov erishing the many. This is an evil to which we could not-.be ex Posed in our first century of development; as we shall be in future thues. Ireland is crying out againstthe oppressica_ of her landlords, and we have little imagined that such a ;viee could 'exist in our : . country. Pestapa no — single conqueror will ever seize upon our linds and divide them among - his favorites, as, Cromwell did inlreland, but are there no other ways to make land scarce and the people homeksa? --When our population be otimes two or three - hundred to the square Mile all through our unoccupied west, a$ it insist no distant day, and we lave as many crowded cities as the British Islands now bave;will there be no — poverty. of homes among us?

The owner is, king among farmers, - employing 500 hands, use $16,000 worth of machinery to till his land, and raising 1,000,000 bush els of grain each year.

If -the Trans-Continental Express Company wants certain men elected to Congress. they haye only to whisper the wish along the line, and the bread and-butter of ten thousand voters is made to depend upon their voting iccor ding"to "instructions." There is much senselesi outcry against monopoly. It must be con fessed that many of our great corpora tions have done us excellent service. Without them numerous luxuries of the present day could never have been realized. But would it not be better to have less luxury, and less magnificence, with greater security ? That man is a simpleton, who supposes that he can make a great flourish without under going a proportionate risk,—who imag ines that a railway company is going to afford him cheap and luxurious rid ing, without stealing his political rights and manniptilating our laws. In my next and concluding article gehall speak of various political vices which threaten us. • , ° J. H. NASOII, 47. Morrisvile N. Y. Ditiun to Caine. The conqueets of peace, it has, been said, are greater than those of war. Whether this is a demonstrable fact we will:not attempt to say: but, that there is likely soon to-be en opportunity for a display of clear headed statesmanship in this country, such as only now and then happens, is apparent to all reading and thinking people. The great prob lem of the day is how to best , promote the business and indUstrial interests of our country. And this must be the subject of study for the statesman who would win the laurels of , renown which are sure to crown hith whose far-seeing sagacity will enable him to perceive the yenta of business. and whose de votion to the general and public well fare, will cause him to labor for the de velopment of the vast material interests of the country.. It is not the hot head ed partizan, who - stirs up party heat and ferments sectional animosity, that is wanted for a. leader now. The shrewd trickery of the scheming peal-, Oian can no longer pass under the title of statesmenship; but the wise and sag : . scions leader is he who cant and will formulate laws for the benefit - of trade and commerce, and who, taking the Constitution for his guide, will make the wants of our ever increasing point lation the subject of constant study and invesUgation. Among' the numerous subjects which mist soon receive the attention of , our legislators, are many affecting the real business interesta of the whole - country, and they should be approeched with judgment and care. The charters of the national banks will soon have es idred and Congress will doubtless have to consider the-subject of rechartering them Then still more than this, the the probability is that in a few years the bonded debt of the nation will have been Beier paid that it can no longer furnish the basis of the national bank ing system, and Congress will most lately be called on to furnish some new system, -and also to provide a . suitable currency toiake the plat* of the nation 'al bank notes whioft now form a good part of the circulating medium. The usurpation of railroads sad- other me nopohes is also a Crying evil and one that must have the careful attention of the law' making _branch of the govern ment. That all theae matters and many more of equal importance, are sure to become subjects of legislation in the Inear future, is an almost absolute Certainty. They should therefore be thoroughly investigated and understood " l by those who are to have a part in 'shaping the legislation of the; future. The emmergencies of the-near future will be second in importanoe only" to those of the war and reconstruction 1eri9.46.. They may, not be so sudden and pressing. - but they will demand equally wise and energetic legislation, and we believe that a good way to pro vide in part for , such legislation es the necessities of the times may demand is by having a good working Republican majority in congress, and a Bepublioan Euctutive in the chair. The subjects of legislation which have been disposed of since _ this party .casueln power, have been of such 4, scope and character. and the disposition of them has beeu snob, that the people are encouraged to look to this party u the hope of the ocirmtr7 in the future.
