"PAW and Present" was the theme of Hon. John M. Thompson's lecture in the Court House last Friday even ing, in which he established very clearly, by many facts, figures and illustrations, that the present state of man, and society, are far in advance of the past. We have not space to go into detail. The lecture was a little lengthy and some of its sentiments deemed a little heterodoxical. INDIGNATION MEETINGS, at the action of the late Republican State Convention, are being held in various parts of the State. Notice has been given of one to be held in Somerset county soon, to protest not only against the so-called "nnit rule," but also against the action of the Convention in throwing out Gen. Wm. H. Kountz, a Blaine delegate from that county, and one of the ablest, purest, best and most eloquent Repub licans of the State. WE notice by the Eagle last week that Mr. Robinson speaks as being "chosen" a delegate "by the State Convention." Will he simply say which instructions, those he got at home here from our County Commit tee or those he got at Harrisburg, he intends to obey ? We ask the ques tion in good faith, and an answer may settle a contemplated movement among the Republicans of this county. He will notice that wc have not assumed that he will not be bound by the will and wishes of the Republicans of this county. WE are informed that Judge Fiedler one of our delegates to the late Harris burg State Convention, says he is not aware of having violated the instruc tions given him by our County Com mittee, to support Blaine and "use all honorable means" for him in the Con vention. The report of the proceedings of the Convention has it that "the dele gates from Butler county" voted for Errett, the Grant candidate for Presi dent of the Convention, as against liaw - rence, the candidate projK>sed by the friendsof Blaine for that position. When we saw this we supposed Judge Fied ler had been imposed upon in some manner or other, as he was perhaps the most pronounced opponent of Grant in this county; and as we have no desire to do him any injustice, we will be pleas ed to hear from bim, and will publish any communication he may make on the subject. THE Pittsburgh Commercial Ga zette is certainly the most "mixed'' paper in the State on political matters at present. We have to conclude that it has a variety of editors. Shortly before the assembling of the late State Convention it had a long and a strong editorial commending the action of the Republicans in the dif ferent counties of the State for their free and outspoken expressions of opin ion as to the candidates for the next Presidency. This was about the time the "Blaine boom" was at its height, and the counties around were instruct ing for him, and from the tone of the article you would have supposed the good old "bellicose Gazetted was ready to fall into line on the Blaine aide, where it was four years ago. But in its issue of last Saturday it charges that "The Butler American (Citizen we suppose it means,) demands that Mr. Robinson, the delegate to Chicago, shall break the instructions of the State Convention on the unit rule, and vote direct and all the time for Mr. Blaine for President." We most cer tainly do, if he has any intention of obeying the usurped instruction of the State Convention and breaking that given by his constituents. But we hare aa yet no evidence of this. Has the Commercial Gazette any? It is one of only three or four Republican papers in the State, that we have no ticed, that now seems inclined to en force tfca "wit rale," IB it tafcipg tbe course it has in order to frighten our delegate? It must hare a short mem ory, as it will sec by referring to what it contained not three months asro, re lative to another mc.tter in which our delegate was involved. If the Com mercial Gazette will permit us-, th«' Republicans of this county will try to attend to their own ofl'airs. Our whole party here "reflects" upon our delegates to the State Convention, Greer, McKee and Fiedler, in giving anf vote in the same not in accordance with their instructions to support Blaine "by all honorable means." And as to the unit rule, we do uot know a Republican in this county who is in favor of it. As ANNOUNCED in last weeks's issue. Pennsylvania Republicans, in ( on veution assembled, have declared in favor of Gen. Grant for the next term of the Presidency. Of cour.se, should the distinguished General and ex- President be before the Chicago Con vention, the delegates in this State will be in honor bound to cast their ballots for him.— Brown's Greenville Advance. Herein we differ most emphatically with Mr. Brown. The office of dele gate to to National Convention is a district office. The call signed for Senator Cameron as Chairman of the National Committee settles the fact. The delegates from this district were selected before the convention met, and they were instructed by all three of tfee counties to vote for Blaine. As we look at the question these are the instructions they are to obey, and for this reason we except both Messrs. Gordon and Robinson to vote for Mr. Blaine at Chicago. The .Journal is not advocating Mr. Blaine's nomina tion, but it does give voice to the over whelming Republican sentiment of the district when it asks the delegates to Chicago to vote according to the instructions of the several counties they will represent. The fact that they were also chosen l>y the State Convention and instructed to vote differently does not alter in the least their duty to the people who stand back of them. As far as the Repub licans of Crawfoid county are con cerned they are very nearly unani mous in their belief that the delegates, Gordon and Robinson, should vote for Blaine, whether Gen. Grant is or is not a candidate before the convention. The above from the Crawford Jour nal of the 12th inst.. expresses our opinion exactly. We have great re gard for our friend Brown of the Greenville Advance, but will he be good enough to make known when the Republicans of this State surrendered to a State Convention the right and power to overrule the Congressional districts of the State in their choice of district delegates to a National Con vention ? When was that rule adopted, aud where? No such rule has ever been acquiesced in by the Republican party of this State and never will be. The nearest approach to it being even waived was in 187*5, but it was even then repudiated by some districts whose delegates voted as they were instructed by their own districts, and whose right to do is recognized by the rules governing our National Conven tions. The right of the different Con gressional districts in this matter is further recognized at present by the very call itself of the Chairman of the National Committee, as stated by the Journal, said call l»eing directed to and requesting the Republicans of the "different Congressional districts of the United. States to send two dele gates from each of the same to the Na tional Convention, for the purpose of nominating a President, etc." A State Convention has the right to chose the four "delegates at large," as they are termed, who represent the United States Senators, and further than that, they have no right to go. The matter of the electors is properly en trusted also to the State Convention as they are officers of the State, by law, and neefl not necessarily be divided around among the districts, but may for that matter all be selected from one county of a State. A Flimsy Reason. The following editorial appears in the Eagle of this place last week, in which the editor, Mr. Thomas Robin son, gives an account of the proceed ings of the late Republican State Con vention. He was present at the same and is supposed to have had much to do in inducing the delegates from this county to violate their instructions to the extent they did. The following extracts from his account will show the Republicans of thiscounty not only the nature of the logic used, but the shameful want of manhood, and the deep humiliation to which they have been subjected by the same, he says : "It is worthy of remark that as the canvass progressed on Wednesday af ternoon, not a word was heard in jus tification of Grant's candidacy ! The only plea made on that side was the statement of the fact that our leaders. Senator Cameron, Gov. Hoyt, Col. Quay and others had publicly commit ted themselves for him ; that to instruct against him would be to give their op ponents a victory over them. This was the view taken by the Philadelphia delegation which was almost a unit for Blaine One of their leading mem bers declared that there were not over three Grant men in the delegation, yet forty-four of them voted for the Grant resolution. The same may be said of other delegations. The wonder is that 113 members of the Convention (three fourths of whom were friends of Cam eron) could hold out against such ap peals. No one in the Convention ques tioned for a moment that Blaine was the choice of an overwhelming majority of the Republicans of the State; and the most active friends of the Grant reso lution were open in tbeir predictions that the State would finally give him its vote at Chicago. Whether their predictions will be verified time only can tell." the whole it must be admit ted that three things were fairly dedu Joutt«E CUxset * : Hail#?, P«*., Stthrnxvu Is, tSSQ. cible from the deliberations ol the Con vention ; First, That Grant was not the choice of the Republicans of th< State for President; second, that Blaitie was their choice; and third, that Senator Cameron had a strong hold on the party leaders heroughout the State, llis friends generally in dulged iu the hope, howexer, that Slav ing fully realized that not being in ac cord with public sentiment in this Grant movement he will at once put himself in complete accord with the sentiment of the State and go to Chi j ea»o determined to carrv out their | will." i Here then it is admitted that Graut ! was not choice of the State, as shown | bv the delegates themselves as sent ,to the Convention. Second, it is ad mitted that Blaine v:o.-< the choice. Why then did the Convention not instruct for Blaine, as far as it had a right to do so? The following is the reason given, to which we invito at tention : ''The only plea made, he states, was the fact that our leaders, Senator Cameron, and others, had publicly committed themselves for Grant, and that to instruct against him would !>e to give their opponents a victory over them." Now, "their opponents," that is the opponents of Senator Cameron and the "leaders," were the opponents of Grant and the friends of Blaine, who really hail, as is admitted, a large majority in the Convention, yet it failed to instruct for Blaine and did, in a way, instruct fo r Grant. The only question before the Convention was its choice for Pres ident, as expressed by the people. It was not the choice of the "leaders," that it was sent to obey*. What had the Republicans of Butler county to do with their choice, and what did the Republicans of Butler county care for their choice. We expressed our choice, and so did the State, but were cheated out of it by arguments like the above. Because certain men hod "committedthemselvis," they had to be humored and their feelings consulted as against the feelings and opinions of the Republican party. And this ar gument prevailed with enough dele gates through the influence of petty postoffices, they or their friends held, or other offices held or favors granted them. Truly thin is a serious case for the Republicans of this State to con sider. THE PEOPLE AROUSED. Indignation Meetings Boing Held Over the State. MEETING OF REPUBLICANS AT SHARON, MERCER COUNTY. [SpovUtl Con*s|HintlPiiec «>f fitt"i*>nrj<U Dbpatch.] SHARON, PA,. Feb. li.—The course pursued by the delegates from this (Mercer) county to the State Conven tion excited great indignation not only among the rank aud file, but also among the leading Republicans in the various towns and townships of the county. The Republicans of this county are almost unanimous for Blaine, in common with the Republi cans of nearly every county in the .State, and certa'nly of the other coun ties—Butler and Crawford—in this Congressional district. This fact led the county committees in each county to instruct the delegates elected to do all they could to promote the nomina tion of James G. Blaine for President. THOSE CUNNING DELEGATES. In this county S. 11. Miller. Esq., J. H. Carr, a doorkeeper in the House of Representatives, as well as in the i house of Cameron, and A. C. Grove, i nn honest but pliable citizen of Sandy j Lake, were chosen, at .Miller's earnest i request. The committee unanimously instructed the delegates to support Senator Blaine, and Miller followed up his success with an enthusiastic Blaine speech. Whether he did this in ignorance of the service that would be required of him in Harrisburg, or for the purpose the more effectively blind ing the people as to his real designs, I cannot Bay, but I do know that Mr. Miller does not usually do anything without a lixed purpose. The Dixpat'-h has already given in i plain language the course pursued by Miller when chairman of the caucus— how he refused to put a motion to ad journ made by a Blaine man, when ad journment would have broken up the caucus, and how he put the same mo- 1 tion very readily when the Cameron men had accomplished their purpose, but when Wolfe, Koontz, Albright and others demanded recognition that they might ventilate the proceedings; also how he and his lieutenants supported Errett for temporary chairman, though j Hon. George V. Lawrence was the Blaine candidate. RINGING RESOLUTIONS. The first of the local conventions of the county was held in this city last evening, and was one of the largest and most earnest ever held in the place. Organization was effected by electing Maj. Alex. McDowell Chairman, and that gentleman proceeded to appoint a committee on resolutions composed of Daniel Williams, J. 11. Chandler, and Joseph Barber. After the transaction of other business the committee re ported the following resolutions: "WHEREAS, The delegates to the State Convention from Mercer county, were unanimously instructed to use all honorable means to secure the nomina tion of the Hon. James G. Blaine for President, and whereas, said delegates, by uniting to throw the organization of said State Convention into the hands of Senator Blaine's opponents—where by a committee on contested seats was appointed who threw out all the Blaine contestants, regardless of their rights to be representatives—disregarded their instructions and should recievc the con demnation of the Republicans whom they misrepresented. Therefore be it Resolved, By the Republicans of Sharon in convention assembled, that we condemn the action of said dele gates. Resolved, That in the opinion of this convention, the delegates to the Chi cago convention from this Congres sional district should wholly disregard the instructions of said State Conven tion and carry out the instructions given by the several county commit tees. These resolutions were adopted without a dissenting voice and amid the utmost enthusiasm. Following this, ringing speeches were made de uouuciug the action of Miller. Carr aud Grove aud the attempt of Cameron to choke off the expression of the Re publican masses. The "unit rule" pre vailed in all its fullness. Not one |>er son attempted to palliate the action of the delegates, and a determination was . xpi'; ->ed on all sides to hold the Na tional delegates to a strict account if they failed to obey the wishes of their j constituents in the Chicago Conven tion. Other local conventions whi<h | will soon meet will take action similar to that of our own. THE ' I NIT RULE" OUR OWN foI NTV AND I>l STRICT WHAT THE PAPERS SAY—THE FIRST <H N IX THE WEST. Pittsburgh l)i»pat<h, Feb. I.'. Sharon, the largest and wealthiest of the populous and thrifty manufactur ing tow us of Mercer county, has the honor, we believe, of firing the first gun in western Pennsylvania in revolt against the fiat of Senator Cameron's convention. The proceedings of the Republican Convention on Tuesday evening are given by our Sharon correspondence, and will furnish lively entertainment for the Mercer county delegation to the State Convention—S. H. Miller, Esq., I>eing a special object of interest—and also for Senator Cameron and his friends in various portions of the State. The western part of the State isevi dentlv determined not to permit the eastern counties to carry off all the hon ors. Sharon reaches out and shakes the hand of West Chester with a hearty grasp that should arouse enthu siasm in every county in the State which is not so completely controlled by Senator Cameron thot its people w ill not swear that their souls are their own property. The Republicans of Sharon have taken the wisest course that can be conceived. It is the only method by which the State can be preserved from being manipulated wholly in the in terest of one man, who looks upon pop ular rule with perfect contempt. The action of the Sharon Republicans can not be ignored by at least one of the delegates from the Twenty-sixth dis trict—Mr Jno. I. Gordon—who is a resident of Mercer county and proprie tor of the Republican newspaper pub lished at the county seat. We have no reason for thinking Mr. Gordon has any disposition to ignore the plainly expressed wishes of his constituents in the resolution of the county conven tion assembled to choose State dele gates. but if he has ever wavered for a moment, in doubt whether he should give allegiance to Cameron or to his constituents, he can doubt no longer. The other delegate, Mr. Thos. Robin, son, of Butler, is almost as strongly bound by the action of his immediate constituents. The declaration at Sharon w ill en courage conventions in oth r cities, towns aud counties in Western Penn sylvania, though we do not believe that any encouragement is needed ex cept the simplest impulse of manhood which rebels againstthe imperious edict of a few busy schemers, whose only ac complishment is on unworthy cultiva tion of narrow shrewdness and cun ning, manifest in nothing except polit ical conspiring and wirepulling. E very county and town where a con vention is held for the purpose of nom inating local candidates should follow the example of Sharon, and express an opinion of Cameron's methods. If any approve them let it bo so stated. If any object to them as being opposed to the simplest .principles of democracy, let them speak in such a phrase as will make an impression even on the some what unimpressionable mind of Sena tor Cameron. [Philadelphia lTi-ss.l Not a few delegates to the National Convention occupy the position of John I. Gordon, of the Mercer Dis patch, and Thomas Robinson, of the Butler Eagle. They represent the Twenty-sixth district, composed of Mercer, Butler and Crawford counties. Each county instructed its delegates to the State Convention to support Senator Blaine for the Presidency. Each indicated that no matter what ac tion the State Convention should take, their representatives in the Chicago Convention must support James G. Blaine. Mercer county suggested Mr. Gordon as its choice for national dele gate, and directed him explicitly to vote for Mr. Blaine in the National Convention. How can Mr. Gordon and Mr. Robinson conscientiously adhere to the "unit rule" as long as Mr. I Ulaine is a candidate at Chicago. I |Cra\vfi»rtl .foTirn.'il. Kebrnary 5.] The "unit rule" is the favorite de vice of machine politicians to force the minority to yield their rights to the majority. It is an arbitrary arrange ment, which has been tried and tried again for tin- last twenty years with no good results, and ought to IK 1 aban doned. If lly National Convention called on the States to send delegates to make presidential tickets there would be some sense in it, but it does not, except as respects the four delc gates-at-!arg«\ which, we admit, the State Convention has a right to seiect, to instruct, and to tie down. The call of the National Committee this year is to "Republicans, and all who co-operate with them to choose two delegates from each (Jongregional district, and four from each State, to represent them, etc." Congressional districts are, therefore, to be repre sented, and if represented, how can their delegates be interfered with or controlled Ijy State Convention? It is impossible except it be done des potically- We say again, we hope the representatives of no Congres sional district will submit to dictation from an}' quarter outside of their im mediate constituencies. They should go to the National Convention to rep resent the views and wishes of the public who sent them, and to whom they are responsible. Let them do this this year, as they have done be fore, and the tyranny with which the party is threatened will be broken up. [Wellsbor. \i;itator. | A correspondent of the Doylestown Intelligencer very opportunely calls attention to a point in the political his tory of this State.

The State Convention passed a resolution that the delegation should vote as a unit: but these delegates refused to do so, and it was tho only delegation cast of the State of Illinois that cast its first ballot for Abraham Lincoln, thereby saving the election to the Republican party and the Nation to posterity and liberty. This is a good precedent to follow this year, when some of the Harrisburg politicians are again at tempting to usurp the power of the j>eop!e. It is time some of these gen tlemen were taught that their breeches pockets are not quite capacious enough to hold the whole Republican party of Pennsylvania. [Pift«.liiirj{h IHspatch.l It ought to be understood by the people of this State, and by the people of other States, that the "unit rule" adopted at Harrisburg will not result in forcing all the delegates to defy their constitaentesand to goto Senator Cameron for instructions. Several delegates have declared that they will not be bound by the unit resolution. At least a dozen districts have practi cally instructed their delegates in a way which will not harmonize with Senator Cameron's ambitions, and the probabilities are that county conven tions soon to meet will further instruct. Conventions are also talked of in sev eral districts for the special purpose of instructing delegates. The Pennsyl vania delegation to the Chicago con vention will not bo a unit without the employment of tactics whose nature has not yet been developed. When a man defends the "unit rule" he should be asked to give a reason why thirty men out of fifty-eight in a delegation should cast fifty-eight votes and the minority of twenty-eight should have no vote. Again, let him he asked, if the "unit rule" be a good one, why it Is not enforced in County Conventions upon township delegates, or iu State Conventions upon county delegates. Why is it limited to Na tional Conventions? Is it because the stake there is large ? The principle of the "unit rule" is simply tyranny. The use of it is to make a State vote a marketable commodity. The pur pose of it is to I»arter votes for prom i ises of office. |t is indefensible at i every point, and deserves to be scorned ; by an honest constituency, and to be j spit upon by a self-respecting delega | tion.—Er. Iu a contest between the Republi can party and the Cameron machine, the chances are that the Republican party will come off victor. All that is needed is for the party to get as wide awake as Cameron shows him j -elf to be.— Ex. \ MEETING IN CHESTER COUNTY — A PRO TEST. WEST CREKTEF, Feb.
