THE Democracy are at last willing to
discard their old war cries, and .forsake
the worship of their old shrines. They
have given up slavery and all its sur
roundings. There was a time when they
taught that the institution was divine ? .
that its perpetuation was'necessary, that
its abolition
_was a crime. All this they
have re-canted. They taught that the
war for the suppression of the rebellion
was unconstitutional and wicked. They
.have discovered their error. Thuy pre
dicted that it would' end in a discovered
nation and ruined country. Hero they
also
They
their predictions unfulfilled.
Thei agreed to repudiate the national
debt, but this they have abandoned.
And having no other war cry, they turn
in desperation and plead that the old
issues may be fcrgotten.
Belt so. We desire it as greatly as
they do. It isn't creditible to the nation
that these issues were ever joined. It is
a shame that we ever had slavery on this
continent, and a grouter shame that we
tolerated or defended it. It is humiliating
that them was ever an issite raised as to
the right of the government to crush re
bellion, ,and this alone cost us thousands
of lives and millions' of treasure. It was
infamous that there ever should have
been a proposal , to repudiate the debt
contracted in carrying on'the war. Let
all these things, be buried in an eternal
oblivion.-
But how, will this bo done? There
'is but ono way. The 15emocralic party
Wasthe author' f all these political here

it is necessary that the party by which

WHAT claim has any Democratic poli

Tut' Gettysburg Star speaks in the
following high terms of our candidate
for Congress, Rtv. W. B. Rintit:. •
"He has an:extensivo.aiquaintanco in
his District, and is universally esteemed
`for his high ,Cliiistaip , character and
large-hearted benevolence: Although
engaged in.the_active duties of the Min
istry, he is tlioroughly familiar . with the
political relations of the country, and
will be able to deal more Intelligently

cians now holding seats in COiliress.
We aro stile the Fifteenth District would
lose nothing, but gain much in his old&
tibn. Although the District has a largo
Democratic majority, Mr. Rabbr's groat
personal popularity, and the wide-spread
disaffection in the Demoeiiitio ranks con
sequent on Haldeman's re-nomination,
will command an unusual heavy vote for
the former. ' We are glad to learn that
his friends are working hopefully. If
they-succeed, as wo hope they may, our
neighbors will have a Representative of
whoni they may be proud—a Christine
gentleman; a steady, firm friend of the

0171 - friends Ahronghout the county
Will bear in mind that the election for
tsAvn and township officers will be held
on the day of the general election. , It is
very - inrportant that good nominations
be made for these offices in order that
the Republicans may not be divided on
local questions, but that they be united
and harmonious, and thus be prepared
lb poll o their full vote for the county
ticket.„ These nominations should also
be made at as early a day as possible.
Don't neglect the duty of putting•,in
nomination good local tickets, as this
will contribute greatly to our success in
the election of the county ticket.
WHAT has become of the determina=
Lion of )?emocratia• politicians, to fight
out this campaign and the succeeding
ones for all time as the white man's
party? Their journals are very evidently
flagging on this question. Como gentle
men, dontt forget your principles. You
havelnt any other war cry than " negro
equality," and you
,had better use that
energetically. You can't win with it
of course, but you have a great many
men even now in your, party, who aro
never tired of the main question.
IN THE last eighteen months of John
son's administra ‘ tion, the expenses of the
government were almost $B3, 000, 000'
greater than in the first eighteen months
of Grant's administration. Intim former
ease the parties who run the machine
were Democrats, in the latter they are
4e publicans. Taxpayers will potfail to
note the diffbrence, and act accordingly.
Democratic rule may have some advan
tages 'to those who inild,Die office, but
can the people afford to pay $83,000,000
extra for eighteen 'eoliths of it?
CAN any Republican who renuthied
ne to his party during the years when
was obliged to, impose ~burdens con-
tinually on the pimple, in order to sup- .
press a Democratic rebellion, afford to
desert it now, when it is engaged in re
ducing taiation, paying the National and
Stale indebtedness, and leading the
country in the way of pew and pros
perity ? Ito • man who voted for
Lincoln or Drant, think of desertingthe
party which they led to victory,
NEVER discharge a faithful workman
just for the sake of. change. Never
desert a friend who has shown liinself
faithful for the promises of one who is
yet '.untried. Never leave a party that
has accomplished faithfully all the trusts
it has over undertaken. Don't think of
leaving the Republican party 'that has
carried to a successful issue altitii ideas
for one that has been broken,. defeated,
and thwarted'in every undertaking.
,Thosn who desire tickets printed for
the borough and township , elections,
should make their nominations and hand
in their orders immediately. Wo.will
begin to print our county tickets yoiy
shortly, and if the orders for local tickets
are received soon we may bo able to die
tuiliute both to theelnction districts at
the saine time. These' matters 'Should
not be delayed until the last moment.

WE condense the following obituary
notice of Judge Grier from the Philadel
phia Press of Tuesday :
ROBERT COOPER PRIER
To the already long list of great Amer
• wlna_have:_died_inlB7o, anothe
name must this morning be added.
Robert Cooper Griei late Associate Jus
tice of the Supreme Jourt of the United
States, having expired at his residence
in this city at an early hour yesterday
morning. While not wholly unexpected,
Judge Grier having been suffering from
paralysis for several years, and having,
had a 'stroke only a few days ago, the
announcement ~of his death will bo re
ceived with unfeigned sorrow, by his
.numerous friends and the members of the
profession of which he was so distin
guished an ornament.
Robert Cooper Grier was born in Cum
berland county, in the southeastern part
of this State, March 5, 1794. His father,
Rev. Isaac Grier, who was a man of
great ability and energy, removed soon
after his son's birth to Lycoming county.
Here he at one _and the same time car
ried on a farm, taught school, and
preached to three congregations, It was
under such circumstances that the future
jurist grew up. Mr. Isaad Grier Was a
man of considerable learning, and was
the solo - educator of his son •up to his
seventeenth year, when ha entered Dick-'
ins= Colle g e with a fair knowledge of
Greek and Latin. Robert graduated in
1812 ; after teaching for a year at his
almapater he went to:Northumberland,
wherp. his father find removed in 1806
and laken•eliarge of an academy. His
father was growing Old and infirm, and
Robert assisted him in the management
of • the institution. In 1815 Mr. Grier
died, and although his son was but 21
years of ago he was appointed to succeed
him. For more than, a year he taught
Greek and Latin, mathematics and as
tronomy, and lectured on chemistry.
Having a decided predilection for the
bar, he spent the interval between his
duties in preparation for his future pro
fession, In 1817 be was admitted to the
liar at Bloomsburg, in Columbia county.
Iti 1818 he removed to Danville, in the
same county, where he praoticed his
profession with much energy and sue-
miss, and at once took a - prominent
standing. • .
,6 (
. On May 4, 183 , ho was appointed by
Governor Ritn ~ President Judge of
Allegheny couuk . In the same year he
removed to Allegheny city, where he
lived until 1848, In that, year he..re
moved to this city, where ho has ever
since resided. Judge Grior's reputation
as a sound lawyer and able juriat had.
now become national, and on August 4,
1848, he was nominated by President
Polk one of the Justices of the SuMeme
Court of the United States, vice Judge
Baldwin ' deceased. Ile was unanimously
confirmed by the Senate on the same
day, and at once entered upon the dis
charge of his duties. .
From 1840 up to last January, Judge
Grier held this high office with great
credit .to himself. In addition to his
. . . .. .
duties at Washington, he had charge of
the circuit embracing the States of Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, which
ikneces
sitated his pre *ding• alternately in this
city, Pittsburg, illiamsport, and Tren
ton. His decisio 7kiyere numerous, and
but rarely oVerruled, • • .
For the last few years Judge Grier has
been in feeble and declining ,health. His
brain, however, was still as clear and
vigorous as in the prime days of his
youth. On the sixteenth day of Deem
•ber he tendered his resignation to Presi
dent Grant,- to take effect on the -thirty
first of the following January. In
accepting his resignation President Graht
testified the general appreciation in which
.Tustice Grier was held, and his own per
sonal estimate of. his value as a faithful'
vervantof the Republic. .
Since hist-retirement-Judge Grimha-s
-heen living at his residence in this city,
where he has found the repose be so much
needed, and which his long and arduous
- services so well merited.

REPUBLICAN PLEDGES.
On the tenth instant, Vice President
Colfax made a speech at South Bend,
Indiana, hi which he stated, the follow
ing.as the pledges given to the people by
the Republican parEy, in the campaign
of 1868 :
1. Equal, civil and political - rights td
all under our national authority, whether
native born or naturalized, and the pro
tection of the humblest and weakest as
faithfully as tho•richest and most• pow
erful.
. 2. The condemnation 'of all forms and
plans of direct and indirect repudiation
'as a pagoda . ' crime ; and the maintain
ance untarnished, in the uttermost good
faith, of national honor' , and national
credit, as rOgar . iis our debt, the cost of
our national \ obstence.
3. Taxation to be equalized and re
duced as rapidly as the national faith
will permit.
4. The debt, having been contracted
for the preservation of the Union for all
time to come, should be extended over a
fair period for redemption, reducing the
rate of interest thereon as soon as it can
be honestly done.
5. The_government to boadministered- 1
with the strictest economy, and "cor
ruptions so shamefey nursed and fos
tered by Andrew Johnson" to be
cally reformed.
-6. The European doctrine of "once a
subject always a subject" to be resisted
.at every hazard by the United States, as
at war with our national honor and inde
pendence.
7. The bounties and pensions prcwided .
-by-the-law for the soldiers and sailors;
who imperiled their lives for their coun
try, and for the widows and, orphans of
the gallant dead, to be ever considered
- as sacred obligations.
8. Foreign emigration, adding so
largely to the wealth, development, re
sources, and increase of power of this re
public, to be fostered by a policy which
shall be just as well-as liberal.
9. Sympathy with all oppressed people
throughout the world, struggling for
their rights.
10. Amnesty to all, however hostile in
the past, "who frankly and honestly co
operate in restoring concord to the South
on the basis of impartial justice and
equalfights.r
-11. The great principles of the decla

of truly Democratic government, to be
made a living reality on every inch of
American soil.

universal prosperity, its sequence,. with

the burden of taxation, while it con
stantly reduces the national debt."

THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
A visit to the Horticultural Society's
EXhibition at Mechanicsburg last week,
was really the most gratifying excursion,
which the enterprise of our county hai
offered for many years. Tho season has
not bleu a propitious one , for the produc
tion of fruit, and upon your entranae into
the hall of this Ekhibition, you are first
struck with. tho beautiful and_excellent
display of fruit, apples so fine and varied
in •quality, as to induce the impressions
that the productions of this fruit,in olden
tithes was about to be restored ; peaches
as large, luscious and splendid as your
imagination could paint; pears of all
qualities, sizes and kind, and grapes in
variety. and qualify so oxtonsivo, as to
cause you to wonder where upon earth
they came from ; not being either an
horticultitralist or pomologist myself, I
do not feel inclined to speak of the
unnumbered variety of• grapes which
crowded- the tables. Add to this the
extensive display of every grade and
character of 'vegetable; from the seedling
to the most •improved potato°, and you
aro struck with wonder how much the
industry of the county has its attention
turned to improve the qualityand quan
tity of everything that grows;( and how
many minds are now turned to the In
quiry what can T do to aid in this rapid
march of — improvement ? But we must
not pass without remark the magnificent
display of preserved fruit; which. was
unequalled by any thing of the kind
which I had ever seen before ; pealhes, ,
apples, plums, apricots, pears all pre
served in hermetically scaled jars ex
hibiting all their luscious freshness, as if
they had been the work of a week , ago,
whereas some of them wore but speci
mens and proofs that this art has reached
beyond the influence of time.
This year, for the first time, as I was
told, the society has introduced the new
feature of exhibiting specimens of grain
in small parcels ; and- this part of the
exhibition was creditable indeed ; no
corn could be superior to that which was
-found—herei-eithrr of growth or
quality of ,seed, and Wheat both white
and red, in all their varieties, just as
good as a farmer would desire to see.
And all these beautiful things were
grouped together with a degree of taste
and neatness, which we almost con
cluded could only proceed from the fertile
brain and delicate hands of the ladies.
rut the place and surroundings of
t lose- beautiful things wtui not the least
rrarkable feature of this fine exhibition.
ho hall itself, got up, doubtless, by the
s me spfrit and enterprise which char
acterized this exhibition, is spacious and
symmetrical, audits preparation-for this
fair of the 1 - 12rticultural Society was
most tasteful and elegant. - four first
entrance into it, makes the impression
. that you arc surrounded by the .beauti
ful bower of evergreens ; growing plantk,
dwarfed trees and vines surrounded you
on every side, and you really feel That
the skillful hand, of the ladies had
usurped the power of'ria'ture.
can imagine, much less tell, the
wonderful amount of 'good that such a
society works in a community ; how
civilizing, how conducive to human hap
piness ; how-it accomplishes the object
of Providence in providing These beauti
ful things, for the pleasures of the world ;
wcll.may we exclaim, "O 1 that men
would, therefore, praise the Lord for This
goodness, &c." W.
