The Daily Review. Towanda, Pa., Thursday, Feb., 12, 1880. EDITOIUJ : .principles of that old party, I believed i. rested the true foundation of our Govcrn ment, and in the party that had always J- advocated them I expected to see them perpetuated. As time wore on I made the acquaintance of Democracy as iuterpeted ■ in the South. I wondered how the word came to be so effectually lost. It was the . course of those who represented them ; selves as Democrats that converted and made me a Republican. However 1 still claim to adhere to the three great princi ples on which my father based his polit cal creed. These are: First loyalty to his country; second, hard money, and third, the soverignty of the people. The idea of this third principle is that the majority shall rule. This is disregarded in the South, and therein is a cardinal principle of my father's Demorcacy constantly be , ing set aside. At least 40,000 fraudulent votes counted against us in North Caro lina. Before the election, Vance, the Dem ocratic candidate for Governor, adrnitt u that if Judge Settle, his opponent, receiv ed 08,000 votes in the State, which were the ligurcs claimed for him by his Repub lican supporters, he (Nance) was defeated. The Republican vote was 110,000, and the Democrats made theirs 123,360. 1 would be willing to swear that in my own coun ty 600 more votes were returned than there were voters in the county. I knew the people of the county thoroughly, had can vassed it several times myself, and knew exactly what the lawful vote ouoiit to be. They turned out the grave yards and had ' them all back again before the polls closed. The people of North Carolina, and in fact, most of the Southern States, are purely ' local in their politics. They will often take more interest in the choice of a con stable than president. In that campaign the interest centered in the contest for Governor. Little coinpari lively was said about the President, because the people did not take much interest in that branch of the contest. Yet the Democrats contrived to put Tilden's vote several thousand ahead of their candidate lor Governor, which every man in the State knows must have been a fraud." In 1879 the average price of unrefined oil at the wells was about 94 cents per barrel. This was about 39 cents less than in 1874, which had been considered the cheap oil period. The great, petroleum region is the Brad ford district. This is the center, where most of the devolopements have taken place, and most of the oil operators have become established. The number of w ells ' drilled in the last live years is about 6,000, of which over 5,000 are in successful oper otion. At the present the average daily production is about 45,000 barrels. The exportation of petroleum has been a great source of revenue to the country at large anx the shipments of last year exceeded V those of previous years by several million gallons. The various uses to which it is now put, as the result of scientific exper inents and investigation, render it almost an indispensable article for other pur poses than illumination.
