BUTLER CITIZEN. MNN H. k W. C. NE6LEY, PROP'RS, Entered at the Postojffice at Butler ms secondt.lcßSß matter. "WEDNESDAY, JAN. 16, 1884. THE article in another place, on the origin of pany names in the past in this country, is supposed to be from the pen of Judge Agncw. It is a cor rection of some recent utterances of Hon. Simon Cameron, in which Judge Ag aew appears to greatly have the ad vantage of that gentteman in the mat. ter of dates, origin and causes that led to the formatioa ol some of our politi cal parties in the past. THE Hon. S. H. Miller, member in Congress from this district, it is relia bly stated, has entered the contest for the Judge nomination of Mercer county, and will thereiore not be a candidate for renomination for Congrese in this district. He will have as competitors for the Judge nomination in Mercer, it is said, the Hon. E. W. Jackson, and perhaps other aspirants, and the contest as to who shall be the successor of J ndge McDermitt in that county promises at present to be a lively and interesting one THE Countv Auditors of Huntington county, this state, aro investigating the eost of a new Court House recently erected in that county. The report of the Auditors, it is stated, "is looked for with more than usual interest this year on account of the large expense in which the county has been involved by the repairing of the old Court House, as it is technically, or the building of a new one, as it is in reality." This state of facts would seem to be similar to what may arise in this county in regard to our Court House, and hence the care that should be taken with contractors. "Go Away For News." The common saying that "You ■WBt g° away from home to hear the news of your home," was well illustra ted last week by a communication to the Pittsburgh Ditpatch, written from Mercer, in which the writer attempts to give not only the politics ot Mercer eounty but Bntler county as well. The writer, "St. Geo.," seems not to bare visited Butler. Had be done so there would probably not have been so many errors,or mere rumors, in his •pistle from Mercer concerning politi cal affairs in this county. Court House Matter. We understand there has been no final settlement as yet between the County Commissioners and the insur ance companies relative to the loss by the Court House fire. The question of repairing or rebuilding the old house we believe is also undetermined. This question in all probability cannot tie fiilly decided lor ft time yet, from the circumstances surrounding the case. The first matter necessary is a settle, tnent with the insurance companies In the mean time the walls of the old building are undoubtedly being affected by this winter weather, which may have a bearing on the question and cost of repairing or rebuilding. Time of State Convention. There seems to be some confusion of opinion as to the time of the Republi can State Convention for this year may be held. This, It is claimed, arises fron a misprint of the rnle adopt ed by the National Committee at its late meeting on the subject. By that rule as published no State Convention can be hold more than sixty days from the National one, thus making it possi ble that it might be held much nearer. But it is now discovered that the words "not less than thirty" were omitted by the misprint of the National rule. If this be so it makes a materlal.difference, und settles the question that our com ing State Convention cannot be less than thirty days from the coming National one of June 3. instead of not more than thirty days from it. In what has appeared in the CITIZEN late ly on the subject we have been guided by the Philadelphia Press. In an ar ticle upon the "New Party Rules" the Press stated this matter as follows: "Henceforth all delegates to Repub-1 lican State Conventions must be chosen in the manuer in which candidates for the Assembly are nominated, except in Senatorial districts composed of more than one county, in which conferees for the selection of Senatorial delegates shall be chosen. The second Wednes day of July is fixed as the time for State Conventions to be held, except in a Presidential year, when it may be called earlier, but it must not lie more than thirty days previous to the day fixed for the National Convention, and sixty days notice must be given by the State Committee." Now if the Press be correct in the above, then the State Convention can not be more than thirty days from the National one and therefore can be anytime within thirty days of sarao. But if it cannot be held ICSH than tliir. ty da}'S from the National one, then there is no getting nearer the National one than thirty days. The difference in the two words is a serious matter to tha Republicans iu the Western conn tics. We notice the papers of some of the adjoining counties are also referring to the matter and if in any manner the State Convention can l»o held about the middle of May, at which time all county Primaries for the nomination of of county tickets could also be held this year, it would not only l>e a conven ience but secure a full vote at the elec tion made necessary for sending dele gate! to the State Convention Delegates to National Conven tions. The question is frequently asked as to how delegates to the National Re publican Conventions are now to be chosen. Until four years ago, 1880, they had generally been selected by State Conyentions. Out of this prac tice grew what was known as the "Unit rule," that was, to have the State delegation to the National Con vention a unit or solid for one man for President Great opposition arose to this, from the fact that it deprived the people of any particular Congressional district in a State from having their choice, or being heard in the matter. ILence the last National Convention at Chicago, in 1880, distinctly recognised the right of the Republicans of auy single Congressional district to select their delegates, two in number, to thu National Convention. This right has since been recognized by the Republi can National committee. At a meeting of that Committee on December 12, last, the following was therefore order ed : "The Republicans of the various Congressional Districts shall have the option of electing their delegates at Conventions, held in the district at any time within fifteen days next prior to the meeting of the State Convention; or by sub-divisions of State Conven tions into District Conventions; and such delegates shall be chosen in the latter method if not elected previous to the meeting of the Slate Conventions." From this it is clear the Republicans of any district have the right to select their two delegates to the National Convention. We see nothing to pre vent their being designated by a direct vote of the people of any district, or the different counties of a district. But the trouble is, they will not have the time necessary or opportunity to do so, unless they hold distinct and separ ate primaries for that purpose. The coming National Conyention is called for June 3d. The time for the State one, in this State, has not as yet been determined, but the fear is that it may not be fixed later than May 3d, and as the delegates to a National one, if se lected by a Congressional district, have to lie selected "fifteen days prior to the meeting of the State Convention," this would require the districts to act by the middle of April; and this date is earlier than county priraariers are gen erally held, at which all delegates might be chosen without the inconven ience to the voters of holding a separ ate primary and Convention for that sole purpose. Then, if not so chosen, the rule, as above quoted, says they may be chosen "by snb-divisons of the State Conventions into District Con ventions." By this we understand that the delegates in a State Conven tiou from the different counties of a dis trict may form themselves into a "sub division or District Convention," and choose the two district delegates. This has sometimes been done in this State, but was liable to objections. A better way, perhaps, would be for the County Committees of the different counties of a district to meet early enough and select conferees, to meet similar con ferees from, the other counties of a dis trict and thus choose the two delegates to represent it in the National Conven tion. This would be the most direct expression of the people upon the sub ject, and while being committee work might in some respects be not a true expression of the people, yet it is a feasible way and under existing cir cumstances and rules seems to be al most the only way left a district to have direct represention in the National Con vention. In this Congressional dis trict, and in all others, the County Committees can be called at a time early enough to choose such conferees, who would have no difficulty in meeting at a date earlier than fifteen days before the State Convention, as the rulu re quires. We see no other way out of this matter only through the conferees thus chosen, unless wo let the matter go to and into the hands of sub-com mittees of the State Convention. Railroad Wars. This seems to lie a season of wars, or suits, among railroad companies, par ticularly in the Shenango Valley of Mercer county. The custom recently seems to have been for parties to get a charter, or use some old one, organize a company, take large amounts oi stock in it, without having or putting in one real dollar, and then go to work and borrow money by bonds or mort gage on the supposed road, and all this for the purpose of not making a road but for making money for themselves. In other words, it is a plan of bow to make something out of nothing, and has been carried to such an extent in railroading, hereabouts and elsewhere, as to finally cause the end that inevi tably follows such mode of business. Just now we are witnessing the result of these fraudulent practices, which will end only in exposing to public view, through the legal wrangles among themselves, the rottenness of the whole system of some railroad making. Congress. Congress reassembled lust Monday week. ID the House 670 L>ills were in troduced, among them bills abolishing the tax on tobacco; extending the bond ed whiskey period; to prevent the un due contraction of the currency; requir ing banking associations to pay a tax of 1 per cent, upon their average de posits; providing for the issue of $. r >oo,- 000,000 in treasury notes, with which to pay soldiers and sailors the difference in value between the paper currency with which they were paid off and gold, with interest at 8 per cent.; and pro viding for retaliating against foreign governments that prohibit the importa tion of .American products The Snow Storm. The paat week was certainly cue of severe "weather," as people generally express it. At the time we then went to press (Tuesday week) we statfd the snow was a foot deep. But in a few hours after it was found to have fallen to the depth of near two feet. The re sult was an almost total blockading of all manner of travel and business. Train- and mails upon the railroads were delayed. Persons caught in this place by the storm, were held here, and those waiting to come could not reach here. For more than a quarter of a century no such snow storm had been recollected by the oldest citizens. The snow yet lays upon the ground—near ly as deep as ever—and creates a rather serious apprehension as to its manner of goiug off. If it should do so sudden ly there may be tremendous floods ail around. No particular harm has been done by the storm in this neighbor hood, but it was rather amusing to see people shovel and dig their way by roads through the enow. The result is huge banks yet standing along our streets with nil waiting for Rome sun shine to melt them away. To Nemo. The rule among all journalists is that no notice should be taken of anonymous articles in a paper. And this rule is from the fact that any man who writes under an assumed name is afraid to give the public his real one, and is therefore a coward, to whom no attention should be paid, We departed from this rule in noticing Mr. Nobody —more properly Mr. Nincompoop—in his cowardly attacks in the Eagle upon us, and challenged him to come out in his true colors. Ho has been careful not to do so, and therefore must stand published as a coward, one who seeks to do wrong to another in the dark and secretly. The CITIZEN appears to be a thorn in his side, and his object is to injure us and it politically. But his falsehoods are so absurd that he but further established his known bad character for truth. As several can testify, the man who has nothing more than the word of this Mr. Nemo-Nin compoop-Buffoon, for anything, has but little indeed. His proper place, in stead of representing intelligent people in a legislative or any capacity, would be one where he could amuse others by low, vulgar jokes. As a mimic, a harle quin, a mountebank or clown, he is a success. To conduct the performances of a circus as clown would perhaps be his most natural and appropriate voca tion, the one nature has most fitted him for. And in conclusion we have only to add that we have always regarded it as the duty of this paper to expose humbugs and deceivers. Its good rep utation gained in that respect will be maintained. It is a duty it owes to and will continue to give to the people of this county—all the nemos, nincom poops, buffoons or frauds to the contra ry notwithstanding. COMMUNICATIONS.

SIR :—I have read with interest Gen. Cameron's account of parties, and the attitude of the Democratic party to ward the tariff. The latter is general ly correct, but his history of the rise of the Whig party, ami the cause leadiog to it, is not so accurate. He gives the ! time about 1938 or 1839 (during Vau I Huren's administration ) It took its name partially in 1832, and became fully established in 1533 on the remov ; al of the deposits from the Bank of the ; United States, when, as the Whigs s-aid, i "the hand which heid the sword of the j nation seized its purse." lie makes a greater mistake when he says the Whig party was one "of leaders rather than principles.'' The General was then a Democrat, his first aberration uotl>eiug until 1846, when he supported James M. Power fur canal commissioner. lie was not likely to view the series of acts of Gen. Jackson which led to the for mation of the Whig party with the eyes of those who formed it. There were, indeed, grand leaders then, but the party itself rose upon a foundation of great principles and pursued a path of right, until it fell asunder, in 1854, on the great slavery issue, culminating in the Kansas trouble and the repeal of the Missouri compromise. The Re publicans of to-day, who were the Northern Whigs of that day, have a deep interest in their principles and history. A brief statement of the prior con dition of parties is essential to a proper understanding of the state of parties during General Ja« kson's administra tion. The Federal party was so broken up by the war of 1812 that Mr. Mon roe was re-elected in 1820 without op position. John Quincy Adams had long been in the Democratic fold and was made his Secretary of State. Dur ing the administration of Mr. Jefferson, with whom Mr. Adams held confiden tial relations, he had separated from the Federalists on the question of em bargo. He fiad also held offices under the administration of Mr. Madison. He was, therefore, a Democrat in 1524 and as Secretary of State under Mon roe in the line of "presidential succes sion." In the presidential contest of that year he and Henry Clay, Gen. Jack son and W T m. H. Crawford, all Demo crats, were tbe only candidates. None receiving a majority of the electoral vote, the contest went into the House of Representatives. Mr Cameron does not state the vote correctly. In stead of Mr. Adams being lowest in the electoral vote, he stood next to Geueral Jackson, having eighty-four, the latter having ninety-nine, while Crawford had forty-one and Clay thirty-seven. Mr. Adams appointed Clay Secretary of State, and out of this grew the charge of "bargain and sale," Mr. Clay's influence being thrown for Mr. Adams in the election by the House. In the election of 1828 there was no party issue, Adams and Jackson both being Democrats and the only candid ates. The contest was wholly personal, and of the most virulent kind. The writer has a vivid recollection of it. He was then nineteen years of age, re siding in Pittsburgh, and a student at law. He well remembers the coffin hand bills reprinted by John B. Butler, of the Statesman, then an Adams man, afterwards a prominent Democrat. They were placarded on the office of the Statesman, corner of Wood and Fourth streets. Many, perhaps a ma jority, of the former Federalists sup ported Jackson, who had favored the election of Mr Monroe, instead of Mr. Madison, whom Jefferson desired as his successor. Jackson had also, dur ing the trial of Aaron Burr for treason, publicly denounced Mr. Jefferson for his course toward Burr. On the other hand, Mr. Adams was considered by many Federalists a renegade on ac count of the part he took against them during the administrations of Mr. Jef ferson and Mr. Madison. The charge of bargain and sale against Mr. Clay, und the bitterness of the canvass of 1828, led General Jack son, alter his accession to the Presi dency, into opposition to Mr. Clay's favorite measure, known as his "Amer ican System." One of his first acts wan his veto of the Maysville Road bill, May 27, 1830, soon afterward fol lowed by his veto of the Portland Canal bill. In his Maysville Road veto he took ground against the con stitutional power of the United States to construct internal improvements without the consent of the States but conceded that money already raised under the power of Congress (an old doctrine; might be applied to promote such improvements. (By the way, how does this apply to Mr. Blaine's distribution plan '() On the tariff, he took ground against Mr. Clay's doc trine, alleging it to be the high protec tion, though his dislike of, and quarrel with, Mr. Calhoun led him to assert the authority of the Government against nullification. In his second annual message, of December 9, 1830, Jackson approached the tariff question very cautiously, conceding the power and expediency of incidental protection in raising revenue But he narrowed the doctrine by circumscribing the sub jects of protection, and attacked the ex isting tariff on various grounds, protest ing also against partisan measures. I n his next annual message, December ♦>, 1831, he became more unequivocal, and making the speedy extinction of the public debt bis pretext, he recommend ed a modification of the tariff and a re duction of duties. This led to a thor ough change in the tariff by the act of July 14, 1832 But South Carolina, under the lead of Mr. Calhoun, not be ing satisfied ami taking measures to obstruct the execution of the law by nullification, a new element entered in to the contest, General Jackson had pledged himself to a single term, and Mr. Calhoun had expected to become his successor. This was defeated by management ol the politicians, and Jackson was called to become a candid ate for a second term. A former cool ness between him and Calhoun now be came an open feud, and ended in Jack son's Proclamation of Force against nullification of December 11, 1832 But now the contr«versy had waxed so hot, and Jackson's opposition to Clay's policy had become so strong, Mr. Clay fearing war as the result, in troduced his "Compromise" bill, which passed March 2, 1533, and not in 1832, as General Cameron states. The great feature of this act was the reduction of all duties over 20 per cent, by an an nual diminution of 10 per cent, ol the excess When this roductio® became complete in 1842, and resulted in a | horizontal duty of only 20 percent, the : country had reached universal bank ruptcy, necessitating a sub-treasurv law to supply the place of the suspend ed State banks, a bankrupt law to re lieve individuals, and a new tariff (1842) to relieve the country. General Cameron is, therefore, right in the tact that the doctrine of protection to Auier- I ican industry was repudiated and the system itself broken down by the Dem ocratic party. I So Jar, we see, two fundamental j meaMires for the protection of Auieri , can iutcreots were broken down before i the spring of 1833. But that was only one part of the policy of Jackson's administration which led to the birth of the Whig party. Georgia had pass ed laws to take jurisdiction over the Indian Territory (chiefly the Cherokee) within her boundaries, to survey the j lands, and to punish acts therein con j dieting with this jurisdiction. These ! laws were utterly in eoutliet with | several solemn treaties of the United : States with the Cherokees. Under one of these laws Samuel A Worcester, I a citi/en of Vermont, and a missionary j nuder the permission of the United ! States, was indicted, convicted and I senteueed to the penitentiary for four j years. The case was taken up to the j Supreme Court of the United States where it was decided that the sentence was, under color of law, void, as being repugnant to the Constitution and treaties of the United States, and the sentence was reversed. Opinion by Ch. J. Marshall; C Peters Rep. 515. Notwithstanding the unqualified right of the Cherokees to their lands as guar anteed to them by treaties, President Jackson not only refused his protection to them, and determined on their re moval to territory beyond the Missis sippi, but declined to be bound by the decision of the court, saying that, as a co-ordinate branch of the Government, he would construe the Constitution for himself. The Cherokees persisted in their right 3, and the Presidents' de termination to remove them is seen in every annual message until 183 a. It ended, when might overturns right. They finally had to remove. Another doctrine of Jackson was that he was "responsible for the entire action of the Executive Department," and, therefore, had the power to relieve and appoint all officers at pleasure—a doctriue which, at a later day, during the administration of Andrew Jackson, Congress was compelled to legislate against. "Responsible?' said Mr Webster, replying to Jackson's protest. "What does he mean by being respon sible? Does he mean legal responsi bility ? Certainly not—no such thing. Legal responsibility signifies liability to punishment for misconduct or mal administration. A Briareus sits in the centre of our system, and with his hundred hands touches everything, moves everything, controls every thing. I ask, sir, is this Republicanism ? is this a government of laws ? is this legal responsibility ?" Omitting a number of other matters in which Jackson kept still extending his own authority and advancing to ward autocratic will, we come to the crowning act of bis administration, which entitled the opponents of arbi trary power to the name Whigs, as representing a party refusing to bow to. royal prerogative and as defending the Constitution against new and unauthor izeJ interpretation in favor of executive claims of power. Not satisfied with the rightful exercise of the veto power against the re-charter of the Bank of the United States, General Jackson, without a provision of Congress for the rightful deposit and keeping of the pub lic money, and without a pretense of legal authority, except his claims to remove a public officer at will, dis missed William J. Duane, secretary of Treasury, to whom alone the power was confined by the charter of the bank, because he would not remove the pub lic deposits from the bank, and appoint ed Roger B Taney as secretary, who obeyed his command. The money of the United States went into the vaults of State banks, upon individual bond security, without a shadow of law to authorize either the deposit or the bond. Well did Senator Ewing, of Ohio, in January, 1834, say : "Sir, the public money in the local banks is not a deposit for safe keeping ; it is lent to them, without interest P' Well did he also say : "The purse of the nation is thus seized iu the hand of the the Executive, and is subject to his will," und well d'd he refer to the union of the sword and the purse, as describ ed by Patrick Henry in regard to the King of England. Such were the causes which led to the birth of the Whig party in 1832 '33, and the great principles of liberty and constitntional government which it espoused in opposition to the arbi trary will of the Executive. The party took its name from the time-honored designation of their forefathers in the Revolutionary war, who had adopted it from the lovers of liberty who had defended their rights against royal pre rogative in England. Iu regard to the rise of parties, Mr. Cameron seems io intimate that the "National Republican'' began before the election of 1828. If this be his meaning, he is mistaken. In that election parties were known only as Adams and Jackson men. The Nation al Republicans arose afterwards and supported Mr. Clay in 1832; the name Whig being suggested in that year, but not fully adopted until 1833. The present I >emocratic party began to take its name in 1831, and became fully recognized in 1832-33. I have before me papers of both the National Repub lican and Jackson parties in 1831. One called the "Republican" had the ticket headed "Democrat Republican candidate lor President in 1832, An drew Jackson." On the other Bide in 1831, the papers were headed, "Na tional Republican candidate for Presi dent in 1832, Henry Clay." I was myself the secretary of a National lie; pnblican Club in 1832, and have the minutes now before me. The reference of Ueneral Cameron to Mr. Tyler reminds me of a fact con cerning his aominotion for Vice Pres ident 1 have never seen in print. It was given to me by John Dickey, State Senator in ISM and afterward a mem ber of Congress from Heaver District, who di« din IBf>.'s. He wus a delegate to the Whig Convention of 1840 which nominated Harrison and Tyler. After the nomination for President many of th<> delegates desired to nominate a Virginian for the N ice Presidency.

THE TIMF.S will enter upon the new year stronger and more prosperous than ever before in it* history—more widely read and quoted, more heartily commended, and more fiercely criticized, with a more complete organization, and ail abler stair of contributors—an,l with the same independence nnd fearlessness that has made it successful and powerful in the nnst. THE TIMES has no party to follow, no can didate to advance, but will meet every issue, as it has ever done, with causistant devotion to the right, to honest i» iverniaent, and the pub lic welfare. And, while maintaining its posi tion as the lending journal of Philadelphia, it will aim to be continually iu the advance to all that can add value to a newpaper. The value of a newspaper is not in its size or display, but in the intelligence and care, the conciseness and freshness with which it is edited. THE TIMES spends lavishly for news from all parts of the world, but all its dis patches are carefully edited nnd condensed, in order to give the complete news of the day in the most concise and attractive shape, and with it a large variety of entertaining and in structive reading. The best writers at home and abroad are employed to enrich its columns, and make it a journal adapted l>oth to the busy man and to the leisure of the home circle, a welcome visitor to intelligent and honest citi zens of every political, religious and social taste. THE WEEKLY TIMES gathers off the types of every passing week whatever has lasting in terest to people at large, and sets it liefore them in such generosity of paper aud print as would have astonished us all twenty years ago. DAlLY —Twelve cents a fifty cents a month, $6 a year, two cents a copy. SL'KDAY —Four cents a copy, $2 a year. WEEKLY— One copy, $2 a year; five copies, $8 a year; ten copies, sls a year; tweuty copies, $25 a year, with one copy free to the getter-up of every club. THE TUVTES, PHILADELPHIA.
