The Duty of Republicans. We like pluck in friend or foe. We would rather see a man obstinate than vacillating from Cone conclusion to anoth er. Hence, we late the Tioga Agitator all the time, because it hits more pluck than any other paper of as size in Amer ica, But in addition to this, it is gener ally right, On the question of the duty of Republicans in cooperating with voters who agree with us in material points but are not Republicans, *we 'think the Agi tator is wrong. It starts opt with this proposition ; "Take -the incongruous- (fusions' in Pennsylvania for the- last four campaigns : they have resulted in disaster.". We acknowledge to having entertained this opinion of the effects of our fusions at one time. We think now, that great good was accomplished by these fusions, and hence our present position, What has enabled Itepublican speak ers. and papers to reach a. majority of the voters of Pennsyccania ? In 1856, when; Fremont was nominated, .there was no Republican party - in this State, and no way of reaching the voters-in the interior, with the facts which called for the organ ization of such a party; The-nomination of a Union State ticket, and the support which Republican speakers ttnd papers gave to that ticket, enabled our speakers to address thousaVs of voters who else would have remained ignorant of our principles. The seed thus sown has tak- I en root and will bring forward a richliar vest. So of the nomination of the Hon. DAVID WID3IOT, last year, by a I.Teinn Convention.

Straight Republican Conventions and tickets will amount to nothing unless ;We reach the people by an array of facts and'argureents that shall convince them that we are right. 'Whatever course will best enable us to du this, we pre for. As at present advised, we think . Republicanism has been gaining in.

IhtetTretation . of the Liqgor Law. At a recent' term of Court in Harris , targ, the presiding Judge--Ron, Jorm J. PF.Ansqs, extensively known ne a clear headed and able lawyer-,exhilifted the [privileges and (leas of the new. Liquor Law in the following graphip and vigor ous style. A law like this, which,opens, [as it were, the floodgate of iniquity,. and affords a clear passage for all' who desire to engage in the free dispensations of vice and immorality, must receive the hearty execration of every fplond of sound morals and good order : " Under all laws heretofore in force in Pennsylvania, a wide discretion was giveq to Courts in granting licenses.. No per? i sons were intrusted with the sale of in toxicating liquors' as tavern keepers, ex- cept those of good,repute fur honesty and temperance, ar.d. the Court must also be' satisfied as to the fitness of the house, eligibility of its situation, and the wants of the communtiy for a public house in that place. Under .the present law no discretion is vested in the licensing pow er. If twelve men can be found willing 'to certify that the applicant is of good re pute for honesty and temperance, and pP4§2Psed of a house containing the num ber pf,roorus and bedi demanded ky the statute; -we are, obliged to grant him a li cense, although we may kn i ow that he is a...co,nvicted felon, an- habitual drunkard, his 4tous e a barrel, his bedi lumps of straw, and the whole _concern likely, to beeome . a. public nuisance, a•nursery!for drufiken ness, anti e'den Of thieVeS We have no power of rejection unless some one choeses to lay evidence before us to contradict the certificate.

This subject' is mentioned in advance, r that those who have sent in remonstrance;, against granting. licenses to particular per- sons, may understand 'that they Will not avail, unless sworn to. ;We shall, as sonic little guard for the public', in addition to the affidavit of-the truth of the facts sit forth in the petition, require at least one of the signers to make affidavit to tlic truth of his certificate.

Just before the ypte was taken or , the Kansas bill, in tlo Senate of the United States, Gen, CA:iIERON arose to address the Senate, and Made a feW brief remarks' rendediug Senger Btot.T.ii that he mis represented his constituerits by voting for - the bill reported by the !Committee of Conference SenatOr . CAMERON said Before the vote is taken I desire to say a word or two' in relation to my. -own course. It ! was my intention at an ]early part of the s6sion to say something upon the! general 'subject of lianas `affairs, but I! am, as you all know, not Much of a pub- I lie speaker, having but little capacity in that way, and no taste for it. I often:! iblt disposed to take part in the debate; but when I proposed to de - so, I deferred' to others; and sometimes When I felt like °obi°. on, I found that sdme gentleman ! was discussing the question better than I could hope to do. I rise at this time only to say that I disapproveiof the proposition 'I now before -the Senate, trittelt 'more than I did .of the original attempt to force on the people of Kansas a Constitution which they were unwilling to take. The origi nal bill was a plain propoSition, for which Men might have voted honestly, without subjecting their motives to censure. This I look upon as adifferent affair. This, to, my mind, is, a trick to imFose upon weak' men, or to enable corrupt, men to make 1 the impression upon their constituents at, house that they have been acting honest-' ly. Still,l should have Said nothing on 'I this subject now,• if my, respected- col- , league had not been in such hot haste to' announce to the Senator from New York, while he Was discussing the proposition that the vote had been carried in the oth- Hunse against. the wishes of thelree- I m4m of Ica.nsaa, His act was so differentl iron What I mooted from an honorable, Senator from PetinsylYania, that I was surprised at it, -I have always heretofore I understood, that no mad iu the whole, State of Pennsylvania; was more positive and decided in the-- e4ression of his be lief before the people,' that Kansas would not' only . be a free State', but. that she should not have a State constitution at all, unless it 'should be voted for by a major ity of her citizens. His whole course in life, until he came here; was in favor of freemen and of the Free Labor of the Northern States. • His own history was such as naturally to make him an 'advo cate of freemen and freellabor. Why he. has changed his •cotirse here is no busi ness of mine; but it, does seem to me in bad taste that he should act as he does, knowing, as he certainly does, that not only the Whole Oppositien party in Penn sylvania, but,a very arge - inajority of the party to which he bye* in that State, are opposed to this measure, and opposed to the - conduct of 9.1 e President of the United States in regardo it; and I can not permit him to onto here and make the impression that he believes the peo ple Of Tennsylvani4. are in favor of it; nor' can I remain quiet; - lunch as I dis- like to talk in public, When the impres-' slut' is attempted :o be made that the' . beople of Pennsylvr_nia flare with him er with the President of the United -StateA upon this s:ultieet. If the vote were to I be taken to-morrow the people of Penn; 4ylv.l.oa, by a !inn red 'thousand majori-j I,ty, would dee* hat ;the president of the United States ad deceived them in', regard to this ma ter, ;and would prove also that my collea:ue is misrepresenting his coesatuents on thislgreat question. The people of Pennsylvania _are con servative, and on all questions connected with slavery theyi har'p always taken a moderate course; but, air, I tell you that if any man; who Nvas in their confidence in the year 1856, could have convinced theni that, by any 'possible means, a con stitution could be forced upon the pea; ple of Kansas in opposition to their wish es, and without a vote of the people, Mr, Buchanan' could never 'have received the electoral vote of Pennsylvania. He owes it to the conduct of himself, and the ac tive influence of his friends all over the State, asserting that by nature Kansas MEM =I moat be free, and that no man would ditii e; no' , Anakt' r what his position ' was/ to at= . teMni ti put upouter a constitution ; ii.n., le.salaer, people had the free and full right to Ivete :or oragaitiat it./ The -President, himself, thought so_ until. lately. EVery body linowS that se late as the ith 4::l'ju ly jest,-he. wrote a letter to a distinguish-. edlMan iu Kansas, telling, him that' the constitution must be submitted to 'the people of the Territory:for their fair and • free vote, or it would dot 'be adopted or 1 sanctioned by the ,Government. I repeat, that II do - not desire to emu _- 1 py, the time of the Senate now.
