Mr. Pattision's Claim.
It must be as inovtifyinir to tho
democrat s of tho Statu of Peiiiisyl
vania us it is interesting and spicy to
republicans to note tho prevalence
of tho spirit of discontent which has
found expression ia ninny Kcctions
since, tho Scriinton Convention on
tho part of that branch of tho democ
racy, tlissatislied witli tho inexcus
able, though open and admitted ill
treatment received by tho "Wallace
men at tho late gathering of tho
democratic party. There have not
only been admissions of eravo dis
satisfaction by leading democrats
from which reasonably correct and
judicious deductionH may be made
as to the present stato of feeling
within their party, but occasional
rather sham unheavelH nave occur
red, more plainly aud forcibly indi
eating tho true state ol things, in
the organization which saw Jit tone
cept l'attison and reject allaco in
tho ticket recently placed before the
democrats, than any words could
well depict.
Since tho nomination of Mr. l'atti
son, whose integrity, uprightness
and honesty of purpose is not to be
railed into question, it has been ol
served that a considerable portion
of the democracy, hitherto regard
od as absolutely solid for any candi
date to bo named, as the standard
bearer of the party in tho great con
test soon to open in our State, does
not hesitate to openly and frankly
express its feelings of bitternessand
distinct dislike toward the outcome
of the one-sided and grossly manipu
lated Pattison-Scott 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 inun, who as
pires for the second time to the chief
place within tho Commonwealth,
might be gratified, at the expense of
Mr. Wallace and his friends ; and
t hat, secondly millionaire Scott, who
is more especially notable for the
distinction his blooded race-horses
have won for him upon tho trotting
track, than for any accidental act of
intelligence or benefit lie ever per
formed in Congress, might tho easior
attempt to reach tho United States
Senate with tho assistance of Put 11
son, whose place on tho ticket, it is
vainly, though for that reason, none
tho less heroically, imagined by his
impetuous and over-zealous sup
porters, would lend suflicient
Strength to tho operations of tho
democratic party throughout tho
Slate, in the fall canvass, to not only
seat him in tho chair, he has not, by
reason of the force of constitutional
prohibitions, occupied during tho
last four years in tho 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 the seat of
Senator Cameron in tho upperhouso
of Congress.
It is apparent that some very scien
tific figuring was dono at Scranton,
without, however, properly compen
sating tho mathematician-in-chief or
holding out to him any particularly
precious plums for tho future, which
if he were compelled to adorn by re
lying upon the gracious support of
his party, would be most dismally
devoid of gift and deplorable indeed.
Upon what basic, approximating to
i it.
a sense 01 lairness ana justice, me
democracy saw fit to accept Mr.
Fattisou and reject Mr. Wallace, for
the head place upon their ticket, we
have vainly endeavored to discover.
If wo have anything like a correct in
terpretation of tho meaning of that
clause of tho Constitution of 1873,
relevant to tho selection of the Gov
ernor of tho Commonwealth, we
heard nothing in saying that the
framers of that instrument evident
1 v meant to imply that no man should
seek to occupy tho Gubernatorial
chair more than once. It uuetiuivoc
ally states that a Governor cannot
succeed himself, why then should ho
long to occupy the exalted place af
ter a lapse of four years T This, if
not tho letter of the Constitution, is
without doubt, its unfeigned spirit
Do wo find anything iu the Consti
tution of the United States prohibi
tory of the succession to tho Presi
dency by the fortunate incumbent,
or any mention as to tho right or
evident intention of a President to
again ask his countrymen to return
him to the first place of political au
thority in the land ? 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 tho fitness or appro
priateness, to the Chief Magistracy
of tho Nation, but polite custom am"
a sense of justice have properly iu
augurated tho two term rule, an
any intimation at departure from
this precedent is met with prompt
and emphatic reproval. Is not
therefore, the Constitution of Penn
sylvania. while not lornitMing in
positive and absolute terms two pe
riods of tho Governoship to one and
tho same man, after tho expiration
of au intermediate administration
despite the omission to plainly state
as much, gently hinting at a discon
tinuanco of Gubernatorial honor
after having been once worn 1
But we would not bo understood
as Ueriiling .Mr. lattison lor thus
indulging the laudable ambition to
again nssumo ths high oflice of Gov
ernor. If ho could secure tho nomi
nation aud mako his followers be
lieve that his canvass would lead to
ultimate triumph, we credit him
with thus early extending tho hand
of hope and comfort to thoso who
havo risked the responsibility of
electing him. But wo aro far from
agreeing with his sanguine friends
that the able Ex-Controller of tho
city of Brotherly Love will this time
lead a victorious host. The situa
tion is essentially and materially un
like that of 1HH2, 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, the breezes of fort line wafted
him into tho Executive Chair.
Scott decreed that l'attison should
bo nominated and the people will
agree that Delamater will be elected
and while the ablo and cool-headed
leader 'Wallace chagrined by the mis
fortune of defeat is having his clas
sic brow painted a healthy tinge by
ocean breezes, the democracy have
ample time to ruminate upon the
serious task of surmounting that
EIGHTY THOUSAND MAJOR
ITY. Written fur tin' 1'ofT.
The Slanderer.
Webster demies the slanderer as
one who "defames or injures anoth
er by talso reports, or utters mali
cious untruths to harm another."
Tho writer will try and show how
unfortunate it is for a neighborhood
to have such characters and the
great evil they do in repeating un
truths or mixing truths with false-
hoods.
Tho slanderer has no conscien
tious scruples at all, does not mat
ter if it is father-in-law, brother or
sister, ho will carry his slauderious
reports and sow tho seeds of dis
cord wherever they take root. In
fact there is no limit to tho utter
ance of his vicious tongue. Drop in
his family circle. Tho first words
you hear will no doubt bo about
some poor unfortunate, who fell in
to tho hands of tho sheriff, or some
poor mortal who they thought made
some groat mistake. It is seldom
that the slanderer discusses any
thing about religion, farming or any
such topics that would improve his
sluggish brain, for the simple reason
they never read anything and
find no ploaBiiro in anything that is
refined. They are even not satis
fied with thoso who left this world
for a better one. The writer kuowB
of a case where even in death they
slandered and would not let their
ashes rest in peace. Tho question
may bo asked, "what delight has the
slanderer in such foul work, and
hat prompts him to thus malicious
' abuse his fellow mortals t" Is it
because he is over pious T No j that
is not the case. Ho never prays un-
osb when the thunder roars and the
ghtning Hashes, then ho sighs and
mnts for his dust-covered prayer
book. But 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 tho writer fail to no-
tico any kindness at all. It is all
spasmodic, and the intervals are
mixed with foul words and even
oaths all because this wicked and
malicious spirit is cultivated and
nourished iu the human heart. When
tho mind has no mental food in the
shapo of good reading it is bound to
run adrift. You will find few per
sons who have any mental resources
addicted to this evil habit. They
do not find pleasure in minding the
business of their neighbors.
Tho slanderer may have a near kin
assisting him iu 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 n heart filled with malice.
The gossip tries to cover her trail by
all means even at tho expense of
some innocent person. In a neigh
borhood where there is a gossip
every thing is in a turmoil. Just
about as in tho case where thero are
robber bees iu a colony of workers.
What delight can any one have to
iret a neighborhood into nuarreliug
only to satisfy tho evil spirit of re
venge. Why notcultivato the spirit
of brotherly love instead oi revenge.
If you can't say anything good about
your neighbor then say nothing at
all. for if vou do it will all come back
with compound interest. You will
surely reap what you have sown.
Only the ignorant indulge in such
work. No intelligent, well-inform
ed man or woman will talk about
their friends or neighbors. There
is no excuse to be ignorant at all at
the present day, no matter if you
own a whole township and aroignor
ant, what good will it do you t Man
is measured by his mind.
