Col. Thomas M. Bayne, Republican mein-,

has been entirely ignored in the federal
appointments for his 'district through the
influence of Senator Cameron, feels sorely
aggiieved with his treatment 4 the 14AI:1i:

with an intention; if defeatedin the norm=
nation, to run'as an independent candidate.

whether.he will support the State ticket of

made up. His constituetkis,are re'present'ed
as sympathyzing strongly with him in his
position, and,he will provo a

he has stpod squarely with the Republican

fault witkus for using the terms ‘.oditical

glad if there was no occasion far using
them. put in treating of the past and

especially so in reference to th%State Con

for tlfb use of the terms. But besstin is
not confined entirely to the - Republican
party..
We learn that through an amicOle
understanding
_between Col: py_eiton
and-Mr. JadWin and their !;friends,
here will be no'contest between them
in the 'convention of this county, for
the nomination for Congress, leaving
the question to be . settled by the con
ference of the District. In such case,
Cot., Overton will without , doubt, be
conceded the conferees oft Bradford
County, Ling there will- be harmony in
our convention on this, question.
There must however, as a basis. of
such action; be uanifest a disposition
of honesty and ,fairness both in the
selection of conferees, and also! on the
part of the conferees in the conference..
As an earnest of Such a disposition,
conferees selected should L not be
prominentlY identified with any, fae
tion.of the, party, but. Men who have at
heart more than - any other motive, the
harmony, strength, and success of the
ticket as represented by the candidate.
The candidates before the conference,
should themselves confer together in
the utmost good faith, and so treat
each other as' that there will be no
ground for charges of scheming,• trick

made. - We-entertain the kindest*.

THE REFORM OF ,ENGETBH SEEL
LING
On the general subject ottluicondition be
our speling. and the . need' of
.aniendment
ther is substantialy but one opinion and that
is exprest ofn with a good deal of emfaso.
Bishop Thirlwall, tho author of the ;"His
tory of Greece" says: "I look upon the
establisht system of speling (if an accidental
custom may be so 'cad) as a mas of anoma
lies,, the groth of ignorance and chance,
equaly repugnant to good taste and to com
onsens. But lam aware that the public
cling to these anoMalie l with a tenacity pro
portiond to their absurdity, and ar jelous of
all encroachment on ground consecrated by
prescription to the Ire play of blind`cUprice."
Piof., Max Muller, talks iu - the same strain
about it
Lord Lytton, says. "A more lying,
roundabout, puzle-heeled delusion than that
by which we confuse the clear instincts of
truth in our accursed system of speling was
never concocted by the father of fulshrd.
..How can a system of education flourish
that begins by so monstrous a iiiistuitoct,
which the sena of hearing, maces 'to (ion
trad ict
Prof. Hadley:' "It cannot be denied that
the English languago is shockingly speled."
Prof. Whitney: '"There ar 'few in our
community deserving the 'name of scplar
Who do not confes thata historical speling
is in principl indefensible, that it has. no
no
support save in our customs and pre
j ices. "
Dr. J. Hammond Trumbull i"fhe popu
lar mind scorns awakened as never liefore to
the appreciation of the difficulties, eccentri
cies; and absurdities of the _present stan;
dart-English cacography.',!
Some time ago the Home Journal came
out with a suplement filld with speling, re-.
form matter, and among the rest a t un
dred or more letters from eminent me • alt
over the county, fitly caracterizing our
orthogr, ray andexpresing their aproval of
the movement to amend it. The letters
wer printed without selection and yet ther
was but ono opinion. .
It is in its relations to education that the
curse of our present system is Most stri- ,
ingly seen'. •
Dr. W. Coless,vrOve in the the.apendix of
his nevrgramnruir, says: "The result of
arbitrab , orthografy is that the there spettno
of words becoms a distinct branch of study,
to which is devoted, on an average, not les
than one quarter-of the time spent by chil
dren in school; and after all, it is not mas
tend by ono in fifty of them. The cost of
lerning to spel, even very poorly, is, in * the'
United States, not les then a hundred mil
lions of dollars a year; and every person
who gets a tlaoro education Spends from
thre to fire yeet-its of time and labor on this

The ideal system of fonetic speling,, how

and posibli`som new ones, -is yet far inthe
future. It wil not be esy tO adopt tiew . .;

(*earned societies hay not left us with
