It must be as mortifying to the democrats of the . State of renusyl vania as it in interesting and spicy to republicans to note the prevalent of the spirit of discontent which has found expression in many sections since tbo Scranton Convention on the part of that branch of the democ racy, dissatisfied with tbo inexcus able, though open and admitted ill treatment received by tbo "Wallace men at tbo lute gathering of the democratic party. There have not only been r.vlmiiiMions of grave dis satisfaction by leading democrats, from which reasonably correct and judicious deductions may be made as to the present stato of feeling within their party, but occasional rather bhurp upbeavels have occur red, more plainly and forcibly indi cating the true state of things, in the organization which saw fit tone cept l'attison and reject Wallace in the ticket recently placed before the democrats, than any words could well depict. Since the nomination of Mr. l'atti- Hon, whose integrity, uprightness and honesty of purpose is not to be called into question, it bus been ob served that a considerable portion of tlio democracy, hitherto regard ed as absolutely solid for any candi date to bo named, as the standard bearer of the party in the great con test soon to open in our State, does not hesitate to openly and frankly express its feelings of bitterness and distinct dislike toward the outcome of the one-sided and grossly manipu lated Pattison-Seott assembly, which did not hesitate to knife the most astute and keenest democrat within their party, that inordinate ambi- tiou on the part of one man, who as pires for the second time to the chief place within the Commonwealth, might be gratified, at the expense of Mr. Wallace and his friends ; and that, secondly millionaire Scott, who is more especially notable for the distinction bis blooded race-horses have won for him upon the trotting track, than for any accidental act of intelligence or benefit he ever per formed in Congress, might tbo eauior attempt to reach the United States Senate with tbo assistance of l'atti son, whose place on tbo ticket, it is vainly, though for that reason, uoiio the less heroically, imagiued by his impetuous and over-zealous sup porters, would lend suflicient strength to the operations of the democratic party throughout tho State, in the fall canvass, to not only seat him in tbo chair, he has not, by reason of tho foreo of constitutional prohibitions, occupied during the last four j-cars in the Executive Chamber at the Capitol, but also to return a democratic legislature, whoso sincere obligation and solemn mission would consist in selecting William L. Scott to tako tbo seat of Senator Cameron in tbo upper bouse of Congress. It is apparent that some very scien tific figuring was dono at Scranton, without, however, properly compen sating tbo mathematician-in-chief or holding out to him any particularly precious plums for tbo future, which if lie were compelled to adorn by re lying upon the frracious nupport of bin party, would be most tlittmally devoid of (rift and deplorable indeed. Upon wliat bftHic, approximating to MM a 4 1 a neuHO oi lairncHH ami justice, me ildiimrrnnv anw fir. in Aewnt fr. pattison and reject Mr. Wallace, for the bead nluce tinon their ticket, we have vainly eudeavored to discover. If wo have anything bko a correct in terpretation of the meaniug of that clause of tho Constitution of 1873, relevant to the selection of the Gov ernor oi tho Commonwealth, we beard nothing in saying that the framers of that instrument evident ly meant to imply that no man should seek to occupy the Gubernatorial chair more than once. It unequivoc ally states that a Governor cannot succeed himse lf, why then should ho long to occupy the exalted place af ter a lapse of four years T This, if not the letter of tho Constitution, is without doubt, its unfeigned spirit Do wo find anything in the Consti tution of tho United States prohibi tory of the succession to tho l'resi dencyby tho fortunate incumbent, or any mention as to tho right or evident intention of a President to again ask his countrymen to return him to tho first place of political au thority in the land f There is no re striction, constitutionally or other wise placed upon statesmen to as pire as frequently as they please or as many times as their admirers sug gest to them the fitness or appro priateness, to the Chief Magistracy of tho Nation, but polite custom and a senso of justico have properly in augurated tho two term rule, and any intimation at departure from this precedent is met with prompt and emphatic reproval. Is not, therefore, the Constitution of Penn sylvania, while not forbidding in positivo and absolute terms two pe riods of tho Governoship to one and the same man, after tho expiration of an intermediate administration, despite tho omission to plainly state as much, gently hinting at a discon tinuance of Gubernatorial honors after having been once worn 1 But we would not be understood as deriding Mr. l'attison lor tnus indulging tho laudable ambition to again assume ths high office of Gov ernor. If ho could secure tho nomi nation and make his followers be licve that bis canvass would lead to ultimate triumph, we credit him with thus early extending tho band of hope and comfort to thoso who havo risked the responsibility of electing him. But we are far from agreeing with his sanguine friends that the able Ex-Controller of the city of Brotherly Love will this time lead a victorious host. The situa tion is essentially and materially un like that of 1HK2, when as by fortui tous circumstances, in the forma tion and powerful intluenceof which, neither Mr. l'attison nor his demo cratic friends, had a particle of con trol, tho breezes of fort huh wafted him into the Executive Chair Scott decreed that l'attison should be nominated and tbo people will agree that Delamater will be elected and while the able and cool-headed leader Wallace chagrined by the mis fortune of defeat is having his clas sic brow painted u healthy tinge by ocean breezes, the democracy have ample time to ruminate upon the serious task of surmounting that EIGHTY THOUSAND MAJOR ITY. Wrltti'ii for the I'iwr. The Slanderer. Webster deiines tne slanderer as one who "defames or injures anoth er by false reports, or utters mali cious untruths to harm another The writer will try and show bow unfortunate it is for a neighborhood to have such characters and tho great evil they do in repeating uu truths or mixing truths with false hoods. ino slanderer has no conscien tious Bcruples at all, does not mat ter if it is father-in-law, brother or sister, ho will carry his hlauderious reports and how tho seeds of dis cord wherever they tako root. In fact there is no limit to tho utter ance of bis vicious tongue. Drop in bis family circle. The first words you hoar will no doubt bo about some poor unfortunate, who fell in- to tbo bauds of tbo sheriff, or some poor mortal who they thought made some groat mistake. It is Beldom ii. ..i ii. -.i i i luai wio Hiuuucrer discusses any thing about religion, farming or any such topics that would improve bis sluggish brain, for the simple reason they never read anything and find no pleasuro in anything that is refined, lhey aro even not satis fied with thoso who left this world for a better one. The writer knows of u case where even in death they slandored and would not let their ashes rest in peace. The question may bo asked, "what delight has the slanderer in nuch foul work, and what prompts him to thus malicious ly abuse bis fellow mortals t" Is it because he is over pious T No i that is not the case. Ho never prays un less when the thunder roars and the lightning Hashes, then be sighs and hunts for bin dust-covered prayer book. I3ut when the heavens be come clear away goes religion. Are people, who slander others, gentle and kind in their families T The ob servations of tbo writer fail to no- tico any kindness at all. It is all spasmodic, and tho intervals are mixed with foul words and even oaths all because this wicked and malicious spirit is cultivated and nourished in the human heart. When the mind has no mental food in the nhapo of good reading it is bound to run adrift, lou will hud lew per sons who have any mental resources addicted to this evil habit. They do not find pleasure in minding the business of their neighbors. The slanderer may have a near kin assisting him in his malicious work, who runs from one neighbor to an other and repeats tales that exist only in the imagination of a vicious mind and a heart filled with malice. The gossip tries to cover her trail by all means even at tho expense of somo innocent person. In a neigh borliood where there is a gossip every thing is in a turmoil. Just about as in the case where tbero are robber bees in a colony of workers. hat delight can any one have to get a neighborhood into quarreling only to satisfy the evil spirit of re venue. Why not cultivate the spirit of brotherly love instead of revenge. II you can t say anything good about your neighbor then say nothing at all, for if you do it will all come back with compound interest, lou will surely reap what you have sown. Only the ignorant indulge in such work. No intelligent, well-informed man or woman will talk about their friends or neighbors. There is no excuse to be ignorant at all at tho present day, no matter if you own a whole township and are ignor ant, what good will it do you T Man is measured by Jus mind. Axon.
