Mr. Srke-nrits.'s Proposition.
'Mr. Schenck promise S to propoke, in
the next Congress, an arleodusent to the
'
Constitution which shall make the num
ber of actual voters and not theSpopnla
lion, the base - of representation,
Special legislation for particular or ex
ceptional, cases is almost always mischiev
ousi and the policy proposed by Mr.
Schenck, which uudoubsedly is ' induced
by a special case, oughtsio be examined
upon its general merits and its relations
to general prineiples ye have had
enough special legislatioi4 on account of
the Degrees.. For half a! century no iris
portarit polies , could be adopted without
in some way being limited or clenged in
its application to the slavery question.
To use a!western phrase there was a ne
gro in eery wood pile. We'hope we are
nestrlydone with special legislation, and
and with the negro queStion.
Mr. Schenek's proposition has this
merit, that it relates to 00 class, bat is
based upon a principle of application.
It is intended to correct and to prevent
hereafter, a Very serious evil. The
,States haCe, by „general consent, the ex
clusive right to determine who in each
shall enjoy the privilege of voting, it
would nut be easy to take this right from
them and transfer it to !the general gov
ernment ; nor perhaps,] if it were 'pined
cable, would it, be advisable. It has been
suggested that Congress - may declare who
shall be electors for President and oleos
.bers of Congress but flits would be to
leaie a matter open to frequent and strbi
trnry Change, which should be once for
all settled. , Moreover,! the exercise of
this right would be doubtful authority,
and in such iteportant affairs it is better
to have no doubts; then the acquiseence
of the people hearty.
if
If nothing is done, hen a part of: the
peciple, of any • State may at any time dis
franchise the remainder, aud yet have
benefit of their residen!ce, by their enu
meration as a part of the representative
population. Mr. !Schenck has shown
some of the inequalities resulting from
such a state of things'i!
"By:the present three-fifths rule, sup
posing the slaves still remain in bondage,!;
the following were some of the results:
"Maine by the cens!us of 1860, had al
population of 626,529; and on this popu.H
lation was 'allowed five representatives.
"Alabama had a poPulaelon of 526,431,
just 100,000 less thsio Maine, but she
was allowed under the three fifths rale,
seven members—two(more than Maine.
"Vermont had a, population of 314k
-289, upon which sh'e was pllowed three
representatives.
'"South Carolina bad 'a population of
201,386-20,000 lesS than Vermout,and
upon that, because of the large number
of her slaved, the was_ allowed mix repre
sentatives—twice as . ' Many as Vermont,
though Vermont has the greatest lice
-white population. I.
"Pennsylvania, with a population of
•
2,8911,266, is allosveil twenty-four repro
• sentatives; North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia,
,Alabania, Florida,
Mississippi and Lcuisana, all combined
have an aggregate tree population of 2,-
829,785-10,600 ldss than Peunsylvania
alone—and yet the areiallowed thirty
'nine representatives-=fifteen more than
the same popUlation in it free State.
"But let„ the !Constitution of the
United States, stand unchanged, slavery!
being extinguished; and what will follow id
Why, that the other two-fifths Will be
represented, and him many of these are,
in the slave States 1,580,212 more
will be represerked when you come to
add the other two!fiftlis. This will give
to the South, in !addition to the great
advantage she alrelady has, fourteen states
I tan mentioned in connection with
'Pennsylvania will ha'vo fifty votes iu Con
_ gresa to her twenty-four, while having
.only the same voting population."
Of "course snob iuequalitiea would
breed constant heart burnings. More,
the freedom to create this unequal con
dition in any State world create a highly
misehiev.eous and anti-democratic ten
dency in our representative.system. But
what will be the result of Mr. Sehenek'e
'sroposed amendment ? It will still leave
it with - each Stat!e to determine who shall
rote; if in any State the majority think
it necessary to disfranchise, the minority,
they are at libelty to do so. But they
Will be (he losers, in political influence
in' the general council of the nation, by
• the indulgence of their anti-democratic
course; and therought to be.

ree" The Clinton Democrat says that the
pretended frier:lds of the Soldiers among the
Abolition party take very good care not to
nominate soldiers for office, and refers to this
Senatorial District as esiderrce of the truth
of his assertion. We believe Captain Warren
Cowles has been a soldier and now is the
Republican caadidate for Senator in this Dis
trict. The Democrats statement as to this
District is about at truthful as its general
assertions. Try again, 'friend Dief.
The Agitator has the following in ref
erence to our candidate for assembly: l'The
nomination of John S Mann, of Potter county
as the colleague of Dr: W. T. Hninphrey,
of
this county, will give very general satisfac
tion tothe Republicans of both counties. We
raise his name. to the mast head with peculiar
pleasure , fle is one of the ablest men in
Pennsylvania; and has stood bylis stand for
Free soil and:free men with firmnes not often
equaled, and: ! never excelled. As a citizen
his reputatio!M is spotless. Hitherto he has
been content] To work in the ranks,' asking
nothing of the people, vet desiring much,nnd
contributing liberally from his private purse
for the public good, whjte profiting nothing,
save as all profited by the defeat of wrong,
and the vindication of Right, He will repre
sent North Pennsylvania as has been
dom represented, and the Legislature will
have no abler and truer member than (JohnS.
Mann."
MI;We copy the following from the .3lc-
Kean Minari: "The candidate fur President!
Judge, the lion H. W. Williams is a resident
of Tioga. Ctinty,where he has for many years
past occupied the first position at the bar.—
Olting to tlo failing health of Judge White

when but little this:Mess was done, but those
capable of; judging say that he transacted
business in 'a most satisfactory and creditable
manner, and that he evinced the qualities of
an able jurist. That he is a gentleman of su
perior attainments, and eminently quallified

re" i'l'e see in many counties the Copper
head party have instructed their Delegates to
vote Pori llcister Clymer' of Berks, for GovH
emaOr, itt the next State Convention ; at the;
same time they are patting in their claims
for the votes of the soldiers,. Clymer was one
of the Men who voted against the amend
merit to :-the Constitution allowing the Sol
diets' Oe right of suffrage. Ile first opposed
it as upconstitutional, and when awls were
making to have it made constitutional he
labored against those efforts and used his

President Jolhason the*e of the Capitol at!

approving Davis and Linton, still cling to
these old lights of Stcessia and with the
same voice that cries

Hester Clymer will be their candidate for
Governor and he was one of the vilest and
most uncompromising foes of t i ose who
fought to crush his "Southernbrethren."
Will the people, much less the soldiers, sup
port a party with such friends and such a
history ?
"Capt. Cowles is an earnest and devoted
Republican, and has been such since the or
ganization of the Republicau party. Since
the Rebellion burst upon the country he has
shown himself something more than a stay
at-home patriot,and his service to his country
has been of tliat character which confronted

days of 'Cp4, whe , drafts were impending over
the country, aud l i when the people were com
ing to the conclusion that the war would con
tinue for years/t 9 come,Capt. Cowles tendered
his services to Gov. Curtin which were ac
cepted, and within a week's time he was in
camp with a company of men. A few more
days found him at the front with Grant's army
and there he remained until he saw the em
blem of treason trailing in dust,and the lead
ers of the rebellion suing for mercy at the
hands of -a magnanimous Government. Such
is the recent history of the_ man who is pre
sented for the suffrages of the loyal men of
this district."
Thus speaks the illiqar as to the record
of the man nominated for Senate in this die
trict. Surely, it is one of which no one should
fail to be proud. Of his education and tal
ents, we have beard them spoken of by those
competent to judge, as being of a.high order.
Potter will cast for him an undivided party
cote, and will lay strong claims to the cotes
of those Demberats who profess such. great
love for the soldier and such great desire for
his promotion in civil life. Here, now,
they have a candidate that meets their re
quirements. He hai fought for his country
on many a fiercely contested field. Against
his private character, his fitness and general
qualifications no objbction can. be urged. Let
them.coate forward,lmake good their pledges
and cote for this Soldier Senator. This they
can dO without jeoilardizing the life of their
party as he will be elected whether they Vote
for hiin or not, aneltbey can at least make a
show of consistency. Capt. Cowles re

Deserters. Toting.
There has been some controversy as to' the I
law upon the claims of the deserters from the I
army.and from the draft to vote. To, those'
who are in doubt about their disfranchise- I
I
went we commclnd the following. By the 21st
~
section of .'An Act to amend the several acts
heretofore passed to provide for enrolling and
calling out the national forces," ILe.,approved
the ::rd of March, 1866, it is provided that—!
"All rersons who have deserted the military'
or naval Service of the United States, Is`ho
shall not return to said service or report t 4 a
provost-marshal within sixty days after the
proclamation hereinafter mentioned, shall be

such deserters shall be forever ineapahle of

Irights of citizens thereof; and all persons
who, being duly enrolled, shall depart the
jurisdiction of the district in which he is en
i rolled, Or go beyond the limits of the United
States,
with intent to avoid any draft into
' the military or naval service, duly ordered
Shall be liable to the penalties of this section.
And the President is hereby authqized and
required forthwith on the passage of this act,
to issue his proclamation setting forth the
provisions of this section, in whi6h procla
mation the President is requested to notify
all deserterrs returning, within sixty dayS' as
aforesaid that they shall be pitrdoned,on con
dition of returning to their 'regiments and

they may be assigned to, until they shall hare,

The Presideni issued his rTielamation on
the 10th day of March last and consequently
all persons who did not report or return to
their several Districts before the eighth day
of May, 186 u are disfranchised nod disquali

Death of "Saul Slik. 9 ° 1
The death is announced in! l the latest;
foreign ! : news of a mah'who,lthong,h 'of
varied attainments arid 'of local eelebrityl
in other branches, is best known to the
American. public as a humorist. There
are many people who believe "Sam Slick"
to have been a .g,enultie :personage, and
woo ae quite ignorant of the existence
of a Judge haliburton.
The author of "Sam Slick ] "--Thomas
Chandler Halibiirton—was born in Nova
Scotia in 1803, where be studied law. In (
)1828 he published his list work, three!
volume "History of Nova Scotia." Other
Wo:rks are "Bubbles of Canada" (1539),
"The Old Judge" (1830), "Rule and
Misrule of the English in America")
(18511, "Yanlice - Stories" (1852),"Traits.'
orAmerican. Humor" (1852), and "Na-'
ture and Human Nature" (1855).
'The celebrated "Sam Slick" series,
were begun in 1835 in a Nova :Scotia)
paper. . Two years later these drticies
were collected in a volume, cntitlod "The i
Clockmakci; or the Sayings and .Doings!
of Sam Slick bf ' Slickville." In 1838
, ,
appeared a second series, and in 1840 a
) third. In 1842 lialiburton was attached'
)to the American Legation in England,
and wrote_ "The A.tta4h6, .or Seth Slick
iin England," followiw , o it with o f second
series in 1844. i
In all these

voludics the
( central figure is that 'of an exaggerated
Yankee'of the stage conventiouallstyle—
abeing which may have once existedibut
Os now as extinct as the dodb. The
lebaracter was, however cleverly carried
. out, and the humor of the author proved
) highly acceptable to the public, insuring
