G. S. Burrows,o le of the editors of the
Sunbury Gazette who has been visiting his
old home, Stevensvdlo, this county,under
date of July 22, wrote a long letter to his
paper from which we extract the follow
ing interesting paragraphs:
The present administration has solidi
fied the party here, and Wayne, .Susque
hanna, Bradford and Tioga counties, the
northeastern quartette, are good for from
ten to twelve thousand Republican major
ity, nearly one-half of the majority of the
State, and nowhere in Pennsylvania can
there be found a population so universal
ly intelligent, and so well posted on the
political affairs of the day, and to this
fact, and their inborn sense of loyalty,
patriotism and love of country can be at
tributed our rousing majorities. Our
Congressional representatives, too, have,
been worthy of the people and perhaps
no one sentence in die English language
contains so much history or expresses
such a deptli of meaning as these words :
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servi
tude shall ever exist in any part of said
"territory, except for crime whereof the
"party shall be first duly convicted."—
The men of forty years ago remember the
terrible struggle to make the territory
acquired f om Mexico slave holding; and
they remember too, the young and brill
iant orator who fought the wicked scheme
inch by inch and with the above sen
tence for his guide poured his invectives
upon those who opposed him. His lan
guage was forcible and impressive—his
arguments unanswerable. Those who
stood listening to him in the uat'on's
capitoi if asked his name, would proudly
have replied, David Wilrnot of Bradford
and they might have added, tin; man who
is laying the foundation of a political par
ty destined to be the greatest of any that
has ever existed.
After Simon Cameron's name was drop
ped at the National Republican Conven
tion held in Chicago in ISCO, Wilmol
threw his great Influence for Lincoln, and
doubtless did more than any one man to
nominate him. lie was elected to Un
united States Senate and took his seat in
18P>0, and after serving two years his
health gave out and he was succeeded by
Buckalevv.
Our next Representative in Congress
was Galusha A. Grow, Speaker of the
House and author of the "Homestead
Act,' who like his predecessor, would
nave been elected to the United States
Senate in the Spring of 1881 had it been
left to the voice of the people. A faction
better organized than his, defeated him
though a majority of the Republican par
ty was for him. Be this as it may tin
people of all this district can claim for
their Representatives the passsge oi two
acts of Congress which have been oi
greater value and benefit, to the world
than any other two acts of Congress, viz:
The "YVilmot proviso," and the "Home
stead Act."
Is the marked improvement in the con
dition of the President a direct answer to
the prayers offered up in his behalf?
It will bp remembered that during the
latest and most severe crisis of his dis
ease his physicians, even the most hope
ful of them, were filled with alarm, and
his recovery was almost entirely dispair
ed of. It would be a miracle, said the
watchers by his bed-side. Is it a mira
cle?
That is to say, has there been a special
extraordinary interference by Divine
Providence to restore him, when he
would not have been restored but for the
prayers of the people? These prayers be
came general and fervent ill the darkest
hour of his illness; when, 10, a light # as
from heaven began to illumine the dark
ness.
Most people will believe that it was a
direct interposition of Divine Providence.
Else what is the good of prayer? Logi
cians atl'ect lo ridicule this idea. • They
say that the universe is governed by gen
eral laws. Lut that may be, and still
prayers may be eltieatious; for it may be
one of the mysterious principles of the
general system that prayer shall exercise
a certain influence, seen only in its effect;
like the law of gravitation.— Sun. 3rd.
