Says the Philadelphia North Americitn: "During the last decade•the number of the farms in the United States was exactly doubled, a. fact that conspicuontly shows the amazing progresspf agriculture under the powerful stimulus of the vast and pro fitable home market created by domestic manufactures, under the impulse given to thpso interests by railroads, national banks, aisound currency, and a wholesome protec tive tariff.

When last in position to ffiustrate their regard for the sancity of human liberty, Pennsyl vania Democracy lauded James Bu chanan fur his efforts to fasten: slavery ilPon the people of the Terrilorieii,, and :limed their 'regard for the sanctity-of private property 'by justifying in the newspapers and in daily speech the utter destruction of the ptivate property Otactual Settlers in KanSlts. At the saint time, while for nearly thirty years in possession of the machinery of State government, Pennsylvania Democracy so administered the govern atent that the State was loaded with', a debt of forty odd millions, the' staid proprietors so taxed and harried, as to keep them ifpbtors and' ever 'on the ragged edge of poverty, while beyond State lines ouk policy and our economy were made a reproach to us. "The Pennsylvania Democracy .now Ideefares that it is against monopolies andlin favor of protecting the indus trial- 'interests of the State; in favor of therotection of labor rand against the monopolies which oppress labor.

And when prior to, that time the Dernociais of Pennsylvania shouted themielves horse for "Polk; 'Dallas `and the. tariff of 184," did they mean - to stand by the tariff of '42 ? Ordid they pretend to be for that tariff for the protection of our industry simply to catch votes ?

If he establishes by prOofs what he charges in his memorial, somebody is going to get hurt. It. will surprise the country if the allegations set forth are proven. The act 2,9 f Congress making the grant passed the- Senate June 29, 1870, and the House March-A, 1871. The memoralist charges that early in the session of 1869-'7O a number of persons named in- the bill as corwrators raised the sum of $90,000 in Cash,. and on', June 8, 1870, entered into a writteaagreement to issue $200,090 of first mortgage land grant bonds, which;'with the cash named, were to be used in buying votes for the bill in the Senate. .Of the $90,900 the sum of $72,000 was paid to a Senator; to badivided by him among three of his colleagues. The agreement provided that the $200,000 in bonds were to be given to these four Senators, to be distributed to other Senators who assisted in passing the bill. MEM The - memorial further sets forth that in 1810 a bond was executed by One of the - , corporators in` the sum of $2;000 „ ,000, guar anteeing the issue of the first rmortgage bonds of the company to that' amount, which were to be used in buying the bill through the House, the, 'Obliger to receive ten' per cent. of the amount - distributed, and the' menioralisfi says. that has received fro* the Texas and Pacific company a part of: the money agreed to be paid under this, contract. Arrangements were made with over thirty members of the House to vote for the bill in consideration of future distri bution of these bonds, and the memoralist, says that the books of the company will show the names of the parties and the amount received by each. He says that he is ready to submit the proofs .of these charges to any properly authorized investi gating committee._ • _ The wonder is that the DemoOnits, who were investigating everything and every bod?during th?

The absence of eight more will leave the s House without a lead quorum, and the absentees would have to be called back.. , Eighteen contested election eases have been disposed of by the House the present session. Six Democrats and three Republicans whose scats were contested' have been awarded the seats they held. Five Republicans and one Green= backer, as contestants, have been awarded the seats held by Democrats, and three have been declared vacant. The Election Committee is aecredited as the fairest and most impartial of any for many years in the history of Congress. In presenting the case of Smalls- vs. Tillman, Of South Carolina, id the House on Thursday last,. Mr. Miller, of' Pennsylvania, reproduced the evidence of Similar Butler's participation in the Harn, burg massacre of novae* in Edgefield county, South Carolina, on ' July 9, 1876; At which Senator Butler beeame very irate; and lashed Miller in a personal explanation in the Senate on Friday in true Southern style. Miller's speech was a vivid picture of of the means resorted to by the Bourbons of the South to carry elections by isys! tematized resort to frauds, intimidation and murder.

Without accepting any of the pro positions submitted .by your Committee, this communication asks us, as a condition precedent to,any recomendation on the part of the writers thereof, to declare that in the event of the calling of a new Convention, the will severally forbid the Republicans of. Pennsylvania to call upon us for our services as candidates for the' various positions to be filled by thd people at the coming election. To say that in the effort to - determine whether or, not our nominatioir'was the free and unbiased choice of the Republican party, we must not be candidates, is simply to try the question at issue. We have no desire to discuss this question in any of its numerous bearings. We have placed our !selves unreservedly in the hands of the Re ipublicans of Pennsylvania'. We have ,pledged ourselvesto act concurrently,: with your commitee, and are bound by its ac tion. We therefor e respectfully suggest, that we hav e no power or authority to. act independently of the committee, or make .any declaration at variance with the propositions submitted in accordance with its action. There ought to be and can be no such thing as personal antagonism in this contest. We socially and emphatically disclaim even the-remotest apprOach to' a feeling of this kind toward any person. .We fraternize with and are ready to 'sup port any citizen who loves the cause of pure Repulicanism, and with this dec laration we submit the 'whole subject to your deliberate judgment and wise consider ation.
