THFr jI6IERAT A D. CAMSLE, PENN'A. J..M. Weaktoy, J. M.'Wallgee • EDITORS AND PRCT.DIlri'OlO3.' Volume LIME Tun Meohinicsburg Journal calla us to account for not 'denouncing the ac- tion of the llopublicf# r i county commit tee in electing a deingate to the 'State convention., instead , of calling a ,county convention: 'W'e Trinturo to suggest that theie is a considerable amount of matter in the Journe a article which couldhave. been omitted without ,injury to its own aide. of the eause, and having said this we will furnish the info4nafiOn it;' seems to desire._ We are opposed to the action of the .committee. We think it was Unaathor ized and very unwise , v If the , delegate elected and the interest he represents was dominant ita the county, a conven4 tion would'have produced the result de sired., lethe choice of the county lay in a different direction, it will not be contended that it was right or fair to .stifle that, choice. Nobody pretends that the convention authmrized the com mittee to select a delegate. It was their ovmaction.:.4bey are responsible fork, and we presume before a convention names them again for that position they. will be careful to define their duties. Then whidid we not denounce their action?: For , several reasons. Last yearAho same thing was dono by the committee'. It was against oar advice and remonstrance, but it was done by a committee whose chairman was on© of the proprietors .of this journal. `With a precedent just in this shape, there was a. manifest propriety in keeping Out of any discussion of the present tuition. Then we regard all agitation of the question now as unwise and injurious. The Journal insists •on a convention. What authority is .there to call one ? That is one of the functions of the morn rnittee. determined, by an almost threo-fourths vote, not to call a conven tion. If one were called by any outside authority, its regularity would be ques tioned, and If it named another.delegate _there would be two in attendance at the State Convention, and we would have a fight in our own organization, extending, perhaps, though the whole coming cam paign, With a moral cortaihty all the I time that the delegate chosen by the committee would be admitted. As this is our deliberate judgment in the matter, we do not propose to . countenance anything - that will, look lilgo raising a quarrel over what can not bo undone, nor what, under the circumstances, could not have been pre vented. ' We have sio wish to advertise our interestedness or our devotion to .our party, now or at any Qth er time. We will take this chance, however to say, that to our limited ability we have ‘ tried to do something towards its success: It is not more than six months since it was admitted all around that we wore willing enough to go into a fight where there was just a ghost of a chance to win. And while we don't make a special vir tue of our cantiousnesilove propose tb submit our course to' the judgment of our friends, without attempting to make reputation through any_ Quixotic tilts against the organization of ''the party, because the persons represdnting that organization for the time, have usurped powers which did not belong to them We have long Since learned that wha, can't bo cured must be endured. ON Saturday night, Frederick Douglass delivered a lecture at this placq, on the Subject of San Domingo. His coming wasunespeeted and accidental. He had lectigreil in Ohambersburg the evening before, and at the request of some of his people consented to deliver a lecture hero on his return. Although there was no' general notice of the lecture given, there was's, fair audience in itttendance, most of whom were doubtless attracted by z a curiosity to see and hoar ono who is considered justly the foremost man of his race. • It is needless to comment on his 'lee ..turo. ft demonstrated to every intern , gent man who heard it, that the lecturer was, a man of remarkable intellect, a scholar of fine culture, a vigorods and Independent thinker, and an orator if very remarkable force and power. Ile spoke fully two hours; and to n audi -1(1. °nee' not usually inclined to tole ate long speeches, and yetthere were few present who would-not willingly have hoard him at greater length. 'Certainly it will not 'be disputed that hislecturo surpassed any similar performance, 'with which, we have boon favored during many years: Mr. Douglassis, perhaps, now the most remarkable character in public life. ,Born a slave, and of a race which the charlatans of our earlier politics, taught us to believe were consigned to Slavery by Divine command; he has, by his own genius and force of character,, brought himself to the notice and respectful con eideratioa of the wisest and best mon of this ciiuntry and of Europe. To most mon, even with fair advantages of birth 'and education, the morn struggle for ox istonee is sufficient eniploymoUt, and fo obtain even local reputation Tor any sort of superiority, unusual and eithausting effort is necessary. The man who wins in the race of life, even when he `'ltaris in advance of hut fellows, and whercas= slated by the. influence of others, Is con ceded to have strength and merit. When in view of this we see a •runaway slave . transform himself into a man of 'refine ment and culture, and who, by the sheer force of his intellect becomes a power in , a nation, where ,his race, are serfs, we may be sure that in him aro qualities of a high order. --- SICCIIRTLBY i3OIITWELL has again made his Monthly statement of tho financial -.condition of the, country, . and as this completes the third year . of President Grant's administration,. it is well to con, sidcu• the 'facts ,it 'exhibits, * Miring the month of February, the •- debt of Om nation was reduced 1142,891,451.52, ,and during the thine' last yil , as the redaction has been in round numbers $300,060; doo. Perhaps no country in' the world: has over. witnessed .so rapid a dischargO of Its indebtedness. .

Its more direct effect has been to save a vast Itmonnt in our annual.

Utile ilopublican party Was wholly with: r out. former record; if it had not delivered the ration from treason ; if it'cOuld not boast of the abolition of Slavery and the eufranchiseinent of an oppressed people; tho financial success Of this singin. ad. ministration should. , commend it to . the favor of our people for all time'. Dort PIATT, of the'Washingtori .Capi tol, out of the most brilliant of Sunday papers, bitterly hostile to President Grant and to his re-nomination, makes the following sensible comments upon the useless Freneh arms discussion in the Senate of the United States At the same tiine,..as the calm chroni clers of current events, wo are forced to admit that these administration people suffer more from the ability of their op ponents than from the facts , proven. Recognizing the melancholy truth that the brain of the RePublican party has boon alienated' from its councils,' and holds an antagonistic position to its offl: chit rulers, these people were thrown into a panic over the prospect of a lose of the German vote. This seemed to paralyze them so that they could not treat the charge of fraud with the in differonbe it really deserved. For, after sifting with care all the evidence "offered,- we are forced to admit that not even a prima facie case has been made out: At the close of our late civil war, the Gov. ernment found itself possessed of a vast amount of material in the way of arms of alliierts,.that were not only melees but would not bear keeping, because of the improvements continually demand ing acceptance if we wish to keep pace with our governments in . this respect. The law authorizing the sale is fillifi ciehtly broad to allow a general sale of all material. It reeds that the "Seem, tau of War may sell at private or pub. lie sale, as he may deem most advan• tageoua to the public interest, the old cannon, arms, and other ordnance stones now in possession of the War Depart ment, which are damaged or otherwise unsuitable for the United State service. ' ' Now, w bother to securo ( an advantageous sale the department could manufacture ammunition to suit the arms, is ques tionable. It is the only question in the whole affair. That the Secretary should seek use the advantage given him by a great war in Europe is right and proper. Ito is bowl to know that the arms thus dis posed of are to find that market, for he is supposed to have common sense; but ho is not prohibited from acting 'by such knowledge. The doctrine of neutral duties sought to ho established by Sena tors Sumner and Schurz is the same re cognized by the infamous Washington Treaty that we have denounced as for oigd to our practice in the , past, and fatal to our future as a nation. It was not pleasant td us during the late civil war to have England folloiv our own precedents,'and under that impulso our representatives of the joint High Qom, mission sought, to establish now rules. The result is a retnedy when too late to he of service, and' a recognition of inter, national law that robs us of our strength in the future. Nor have we any respect for this con test over the German vote. Wo.are sick and tired of this humiliating submission to a foreign element in our midst that seeks to direct our sympathies and con trol our conduct. We protest the Gm , man vote, the Irish vote, and the colored vete, and think it about time to find, if we ban, an American vote. Each in turn save tbe,last has served demagogues as a source of selfish elevation to power. In thebeginning of the German-Froneh war our sympathies were with Germany. ruilen, however, an imperial despotism tno conquest was developed on one side, and a republic on the other, our sympathies swung over to France, and it was as much as one's, political ex istence was worth to avow such a feel ing. The offence of the administration in this case, if any is proven,- seome to be a kind feeling for the unhappy French Republic and a very advantageous sale of useless arms. We aro not disposed to feel vindictive on that account. THE FUBLIO DEBT STATEMENT WASHINGTON, Mardi 1.
