''''A GOOD SUGGESTION.”
"When yon come to the river leap it,it's
only twentifeet across," said a monkey
to a sloth. .I"That's a very valuable sug
gestion, indeed," replied the stoth;blink-
Mg his eyes! The Looden Times is equal
ly pleased !with' Secretary McCulloch's
proposition to pay off the national debt.
"By all me a ns;" says the' Times,`"ids a'
most excellent idea; we'll de..so too?!
They owe about as much as we; They
have as numerous a population; why
ishould not the English pay off their na-1
tional debt if the Yankees do? This is
evidently trio reasonino ' of the Times.--
Perimps it May save the Times some trouble
and ink,if we point ont,a few of the _causes
which will prevent them from followiog
our example.
In the firstplace,we have'got the cheati
est; form of koverameta in the world, and
;
they the dearest. Th re are `probably a'
hundred offcers about the British Court
who receive twine, an some four times,
the pay of:;the President of the United
States. There is scarcely a bishopef the
English Church but receives more than
we pay the President.; and one Of Queen
:Victoria's grandehildren draws a greater
'"sum per annum from tne Brisish treasury
than the "'resident and all his cabinet take
from our own. Because - offices are un-
merous, the; pay extravagant,and the pen
sion and gratuity list as long and - nearly
as costly as the pay - list, therefore the
British debt - will not be so easily paid off
as . ours. ' That is one reason. ,
Than again, owing to the fact that she
bas troublescitne neiglrbers, an Emperor
giveirto building iron-clads and'keeping
up an , enermons army, and a whole conti
moot full ofkulers who are for the most
Ind either rogues or fools, or both,.Eng
land must spend vast spins every year on
a mighty army and navy. She lives, in
fact, in thmstate in vrhich-a man would
be who shoiald barricade his house, stick
-gnus out °flail his windows, keep half a
shop full of workmen day and night un
der arms, and spend a third of his income
in powder and shot r and new inventions
for killing Men. We, on' the contilry,
• have no dangerous neighbors, and do not
stay up of nights or keep up armies for
fear of an aitack from some treacherous
friend. That Is another reason why the
' British debt will not bo paid off as soon
as ours. 'l
Again, we have free trade over the
greategt and best part of our continent; a
producer here has as unrestileted market
over a region as great as all Europe except
Russia. Rut the English producer can
not set foot outside of his, little island
without meeting with vexatious restric
tions, and having to pay duties and bribes
without number. He does not get out of
sight of his own chalk cliffs before he
comes upon; custom houses and all kinds
of ingenious commercial. barriers. That
is another reason why the British debt
will not be Paid off so easily as ours. :
Moreover, education is far more prier
ally diffused, the mass 9f , tho people are
made by our free-School system more en
ergetic arid I ingeniqus, and they are able
therefore, to produce more per man than
the macs oflthe English people,
to whom
free schools; have been denied by their
ruling class! That is another and a very
important reason why the British debt
will nut beipaid , off so easily as ours. I
_Again the system of' land tenure in 1
England grinds down the poor man, and
prevents hue from becoming other than
a tenant, while the whole social organiza
tion represses individual enterprise and
by so much lames 'the Englishman and
makes hinalmove in clogs. But with us
land is cheap and - easily obtained - ; the
workman,iehe is intelligent and industri
ous, may always expect to become an em
ployer, audl the entire freedom of move
ment over a vast region encourages enter
prise,"stimulates intellectual activity to
the utmost; and increases prodoction to
the highest point, because braio and band
work together. That is another reason
wig the Biitish debt will not beso readily
discharged las mar own., • ~
There are many reasons, as an anato
mist coulCtell the Times, why the sloth
did not leap acme, the slyer, while the
monkey did,. So there are many reasons
why the .Times pleasant proposition to
pay off they British national debt will not
for the present be adopted. We have
presented Only a few of them ; but -the
looger anylintelligent man considers the '
subject, the more be will be convinced
that, if the British:may wisely leave their
debt alone) there is no excuse for us. We
ought to pay, because we can pay; and
in every plan of taxation a scheme for the
txtinotion of the debt ought to hair() a
part.

lets,and inmense supplies of ammunition

Senatorial Delegate:
%Mon... John S. Mann, of ratter County, is
presented by that county as a' Senatorial Del
egate to represent this District in the March
Convention. Mr. Mann is a gentleman of
ability, and would do_credit to the District in
the Contention. Before.we commit ourselves
in his favor, however, we would like tol:now
linw. he stands on the gubernatorial question . ;
We believe the sentiment of this County is
decidedly in favor of,ama!n forjt
candidate, I:novided he is competent' for the
place. If such an one can* he - found, then
we want. a
_candidate, selected from sthe Re !
pifblican Party—a man has worked in
the traces of the party at least fin' five years
past.! We tireoppesed to nominating “latter
'oiy.iaintsf! We' have, had a surfeit of those
kind' of nominations within t past few, years;
and we now propose to, go w n. For. man, who
have been "tried add - net found•winting."
e' The above. from - the McKean Hinar
meets with our hearty • *e belieye,
I in supporting mea.for alit* every position,
I who have been "weighed in the balance" and
NOT "found wanting." We . cannot. speak
knowingly for Mr, Mann, but a friend informs
us that he is positive . his inclinations and
influence, lean strongly to the side ; of Gee.
John W. Geary.
.Thatl he has approved of
Gen. Geary's course ever. since the.- Kan
sas Gubernatorialquestion,l we know. The
peciple - in this county seni.to think of no one
but Gen. Geary in cuanktion with that posi
tion ; the people ofiTioga through their organ
have significd their desire for his nomination;
McKean county, if twe chn judge correctly the
tenor of the above article, is influencen by
I• '
the same spirit i—end . finally'.fr. Mann isrep
resentative, and" we know would safely,•ably,
and conscientiously .support the choice of his
constituents. We have not an:opinion from
our friends , in 'Clinton, but ive l have great
faith in their republicaniiin, and i believe that
"they feel as we feel." It - has been a long
time-so long that the'memory of the oldest
inhabitant runneth not to the con .rary--since
we were represented in a State Convention
by a Senatorial Delegate,and'asMr.Mann was
