A Word to the Wise.
At the close of the present (6tb) volume
of the Democrat —about the Ist of August
next,, we propose to enlarge it, by adding,
at least four columns; and also, to make
other desirable improvements upon it.
To do this we shall .be obliged to incur,
what, to us, will be no trifling expense.
To meet those expenses, we will be
obliged to rely entirely upon those indebt
ed to us on subscription, advertising &c,
Prompt payment by all such, will ena
ble us to make the proposed changes with
■out iucurring any very large debts.
To most of our subscribers, we have al
ready said enough. We feel confident
that those who honestly desire the suc
cess of our paper and its principles, will
aid us in this matter.
A WORD TO THE OTHERWISE.
To thoee who owe us for our paper —
not theirs— for periods of from four to six
years, we hardly know what to say.
They have been so indifferent to all our
former appeals, that probably nothing we
can now say, will induce them to pay us
what they owe us, voluntarily.
We w ill say to such, however, that by
calling upon us, soon, they may hear of
something to their advantage.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
READ THIS.
We wish every subscriber to the Dem
ocrat to consider himself duly appointed a
committee of one —or more—to solicit re
liable, paying subscribers for it.
• With the present population and polit
ical status of our county, there should be
added to our list, at least five hundred
good, paying subscribers.
Such an addition would make it compar
atively easy work for us to publish a first
class county newspaper. [}
While we have, under the most adverse
circumstances, and amidst many discour
agements, done the best we could, and giv
en our friends what most of them are
kind enough to call, a good paper, we have
often thought that it ought to be better,
and felt regret that wo were not able to
make is so.
Our ability to get up and keep up a
good paper depends entirely upon the
support that our friends give it.
Every man should feel an interest in sus
taining his paper. —It gives
him and bis county a better standing
abroad. It goes into his family and con
tributes more towards their education, than
ten times the cost of it, spent in any other
way. Its every word is read when other
papers are merely glanced at.
We have not time nor space now, to
pursue this subject further, but would re
mind every reader that we are talking
toJiim,and not to A, B, C, D.'or E'F way off
in another part of the county. We are ad
dressing you reader, There are a dozen
of good men right in your neighborhood
that could and would take our paper, and
pay for it, too, if you will only present the
subject to them in its (rue light.
Let's see what you can do towards es
tablishing and sustaining a good county pa
per—Towards the promulgation of sound
political principles—Towards restoring the
country to what it was, in the good old
times, when high taxes, a shinplaster cur
rency, bankrupt and stamp acts, aristocrat
ic Bond-holders and military despotisms
were things unknown.
Two CURRENCIES.-- The Cincinnati En
quirtr says:
u We have two currencies—one for the
people and one for the bondholders. The
people are obliged to take legal tenders
for their debts, while bondholders bare
gold. The legal tenders are good enough
for the masses 1 but the bondholders must
have something better. The money of
the people is subject to State and local
taxation, while that of the bondholders,
derived from their bonds, is exempted
Irom it. The bondholders tberefore, have
he gold currency and no taxation, and
the people have a paper currency with
heavy taxation.''
We have a compulsory paper currency
for the people for the owners of the Gov
ernment bonds. The latter currency is at
par. The latter currency is at par and
the former is now thirty-eight per cent,
below par. The people are taxed and the
.capital in bond is not taxed. It is thus
that ws have a method provided by which
the'capitalist escape bearing any share of
the public burthens, but there is no such
provision for the laboring man.
The reason so many marriages occur
after a war is, bachelors become so accus
tomed to strife they learn to like it,
THE DEMOCRATIC STATE JUDICIAL
CON VEMTION.
Hoii. George Sharswood, of Philadelphia)
Nominated.
THE PLATFORM.
[From th Philadelphia Age ]
HARRISBURO, June 11.
In complience with a resolution adopted
by the Domocratic State Committee, at a
meeting held in Harrisburg on the 29 of
Janurary last, the regular Convention of
the parly for nominating a canidate for the
Supreme Bench assembled in the Chamber
of the House of Reprekentatives, and at 12
i o'clock m. -was called to order by the Chair
man of the Democratic State Committee,
Hon. William A. Wallace.
Bj direction of the Chairman the Clerk
proceeded to call the list of delegates.
Honorable* William A Wallace, Chair
man of the State Central ,Committee call
ed the Convention at twelve o'clock. He
spoke as follows :
Two years 6ince you called me to the
head of your organization. I accepted as a
duty that which I had not sought as an
honor, and I bring you now no memories
of battles won or of victories gained, but
those ot forces marshaled of contests
waged, of principles defended.
The Republic has just passed througli a
war of gigautic proportions. Our political
foes had wielded the physical, financial and
moral power of the whole. The soil of
every battle-field had been reddened with
the blood of members of our organization,
sealing wit!) their life their devotion to the
Union, yet obloquy, falsehood and persecu
tion were unsparingly buried upon us be
cause we had principles and boldly pro
claimed them, and when the historian
shall trace with impartial pen the
events of those years, he will record that
we were vilified, persecuted ond defeated
because we supported the principles of free
government and defended the great cardi
nal doctriues of the Federal Constitution.
Peace came. Possessed of a vast mili
tary and naval establishment, controling
the expenditure of hundreds of millions an
nually, with an inquisitorial revenue sys
tem numbering its thousands and permea
ting every section of the land, with the ab
solute control of every branch of the civil
service, and the powerful aid of organized
capital in the hands of men who had reap
ed wealth in the bloody harvest just passed,
our enemy believed and hoped that their
grasp of power was to be perpetual, and
that we were dead and buried beyond the
hope of resurrection. The events of the
past two years have undeceived them, and
they now recognize the fact that the par
ty they hoped was gone forever, is organ
ized, equipped, and ready to grasp from
their unsteady hand the sceptre of domin
ion.
The basis of our unity, the germ of our
perpetuty, is the principle of self-preserva
tion. Our instincts teach us to bo im
moital as a party. Indiyidual liberty is
the pricless gem around "which the Consti
ution created the cpfket we love, Govern
ments are made for men not men for gov
ernments. Men made the States. The
States and men made the Union. Both
are essential to us. The government is
one of limited powers ; limited that it may
not trample upon our rights ; limited that
it may enable us to enjoy individual liber
ty-
To these principles we have ever been
true, and so long as we have faith in them,
courage in their maintenance and hope for
our country, we have within us the ele
ments of success.
The past is gone, the great present is
with us. As practical men we may
mould its relatives to shape the events of
the future, and aid in regaining the high
way to national prosperity.
In advancing the materal progress of
our great Commonwealth, in developing her
immense resources, in* fostering her in
dustrial interests and in placing her in the
vanguard of the family of States, we shall
find a career worthy of the most exalted
ambition.
In resuming my place in the ranks of
your army, I may be permitted to return
to you my sincere thanks for the uniform
courtesy and kindness with which you
have treated me.

RESOLUTIONS
Hon. B. M. Boyer, of Montgomery
Conntv, from the Committee on Resolu
tions, reported the following platform :
We the delegates of the Democratic party of Penn
sylvania, in General State Convention assembled for
the nomination of a candidate for Judge of the Su
premo Court, profoundly grateful to the Supreme
Ruler of tho Universe for the return of peace to our
beloved eonntry, but deeply anxious on account of
the trials and delays which impede the complete res
toration and reunion of all the States, and apprecia
ting the which still threaten th® safety of
our institutions, and the future peace, lib
erty and prosperity of the people
Resolved, 1. That we steadfastly, adhere to the
principles of civil government established by the
founders of the Union, and In the present conflict of
legislative usurpation with constitutional law, wo
esteem a wise, upright, and fearless judiciary the
great bulwark of public liberty and individual
right.
2. That the Union of the States is perpetual, and
the Federal government supreme within its constitu
tional limits.
3 That representation in the Congress of the
T nited States and in tho Elocforial College is a
right, fundamental and indestructible in its nature,
and abiding in every State, being a duty as well as
a right pertaining to the people in every State, and
essential to our republican system of government.—
Its denial is the destruction ef the government it—
4. Each State having, under the Constitution.the
exclusive right to prescribe the qualifications of its
own electors, we proclaim, as a usurpation and an
outrage the establishment of negro suffrage in any
of the States by the coercive exercise of federal pow
er, and we shall resist to the last resort the threat
ened measures of the leaders of the Republican par
ty to interfere by act of Congress with the regula
tion of the elective franchise in the State of Penn
sylvania.
5. We are opposed to any amendment of thn Con
stitution of this State giving to negroes the right of
suffrage
6 That the failure of the tariff bill ia the last
session of the late Congress, more than three-fourths
of whose members belonged ot the Republican party,
is an illustration of their infidelity to their pledges
and their neglect of their professions in relation to
the great industrial and financial interests of the
tfuhtry, ,
7 That the Radical majority in Congress, and
those who sustain them, have overthrown the Con
stitution, dismembered tho Federal Union, and sub
verted republican government by a long series of
usurpations, among which are the following :
Their denial of the right of States ot the Union to
representation in Congress.
Their treatment of ten States as subjugation prov
inces, and governing them by military force in time
of peace.
Their enactment of laws denying indemnity for
arrest and falsa imprisonments made without au
thority of law.
Their resistance of the authority of the civil tri
bunals. aai their overthrow by the substitution of
military commissions for the trial 0 f undefied of
fenses.
Their efforts to destroy the Exeontive and Judi
ciary department* of the government, by threatened
impeachment to control executive action, and a pro
jected "remodeling" of the Supreme Court of the
United States to force obedience to Congressional
mandates.
Their ejection from their seats in the Federal Sen
ate and House of members duly and legally ebosen.
Their purpoae of confiscation, as avowed by the
Republican leaden, in violation of the Declaration
of Righta and other guarantee* of Federal and State
constitutions, tending, as it does, to destroy all pro
tection to private property, advances them far on the
highroad to repßdiation.
8. That a strict conformity, both by the Federal
and State governments, by all powen, restrictions,
and guarantees, ascentained in the Constitution of
the United States j a rigid and wise economy in the
administration of public affairs, and the election of
capable, honest, and patriotic men to office, are
.measures absolutely necessary to restore public con
fidence, to avert national bankruptcy, and to insure
the perpetuity of our free institutions.
9. Tbnt the late Republican Legislature of this
State has distinguished itself by tbe number of its
unwise and unconstitutional enactments, Some of
these laws have already ben judicially determined
to be unconstitutional ; others are inexpedient,
oppressive and fanatical, and the members who sus-'
tained them should be condemned by the people at
the polls, .
10. That the power and success of the Democratic
party greatly depend cn the character and efficiency
ol its newspaper press, and that to give due force to
its usefulness, this Convention earnestly request
that in every county all tbe members of the Demo
cratic party should make vigorous efforts to iacraase
its circulation by giving it their individual patron
age and support,
11, That the Democracy of Pennsylvania by their
representatives now assembled, hereby tender their
acknowledgements and thanks to the Hon. George
W Woodward in his retirement from the position
of Chief Justice of this Commonwealth, for the pure
and faitbtul, and able manner in which hr discharg
ed the duties of that exalted position,
12, That tho candidate we this day present to tho
people of Pennsylvania for a place on the Supreme
Bench of the State, is, in all respects worthy of the
confidence and support of all who are in favor of an
enlighened, faithful and impartial admistration of the
laws.

o'clock adjourned sine die.
The Cost of Despotism*
The National Intelligencer contains tbe
following alarming estimate :
"Congress has appropriated half a mill
ion of dollars to defray the expense of reg
istration under the military reconstruction
acts. It is estimated by some that this
amount will fall far short of the actual ex
pense ; for we hear it is stated that "a sin
gle military department in the South has
three hundred boards of registration. There
<ue five departments, and 1,500 boards in
ail. Tbey Lave already held their ses
sions for weeks, and will hold them for ma
ny to come. Each member is paid eight
dollars a day. Estimating ten members
upon each board,including all the runners
and attendants,and three hundred boards to
each of the five monarchies, and we have
a daily expense of one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars for those boards alone."
At this rate the total cost of registration
alone —supposing that it will be completed
in forty days (a very low estimate) —will
be four million eight hundred thousand
dollars, 84,800,000.) Of course this is but
one item in tho cost of Radical "reconstruc
tion." There arc five military command
ers, at 810,000 each; a large number of
colonels, majors, captains, lieutenants, <tc.,
and a pretty largo standing army, each
private of which costs 1,700 for pay, ra
tions and clothing. We cannot estimate
fully the milliiary expenses of "reconstruc
tion" as wo have not the correct data, but
many millions of dollars will be required
to meet that branch of the Radical plan.
These facts are truly alarming to North
ern tax payers, or rather to the laboring
masses, who, in the end, will htyre all the
bills to pay. And what is it ajlfor?—
the people ask. Only to secure "perpetual
supremacy" for the Radical party through
negro votes, Thus the laboriug Northern
masses are to be compelled to pay for
their own undoing—for tbe suDmergence
of their voting power beneath an ignorant
negro horde just let loose from slavery,
and who are already relapsing into intern
perance, the most vicious practices, and the
barbarous Obi worship of their African an
cestry. We ask the people—shall such a
podcy be allowed to go on, prostrating
every institution and eating up the sub
stance of the country ? IFhat §py the
work-people of Pennsylvania?— Patrot
and Union,
THE PROHIBITORY LAW IN MASSACHU
SETTS. — Early in the session of the present
Legislature of "The Old Bay State," a
committee was appointed to consider the
propriety of repealing the law which has
been in existence for some time, absolute
ly forbidding the sale ot intoxicating liquors
as a bevefage, and of enacting a license
law in its stead. That committee sat pub
licly for four successive weeks, and listen
ed to the testimony pro and con upon the
subject, of witnesses who were summoned
from all parts of the States, and from other
States, and who were from all the profes
sions and walk 3of life. Their testimony
as to the main facts which were elicited,
has been published in a volume which is a
valuable and permanent document upon
temperence and intemperence. After this
protracted hearing, the whole subject was
elaborately summed up by Ex-Goveruor
J. B. Andrew, in behalf of those who de
sired a license law, and by Rev. Dr. Mi
ner, a prominent and talented Universalist
Miuister in behalf of those who wished the
present law to be continued. The ques
tion was amply and ably discussed by those
two gentlemen. A majority of the com
mittee reported recommending the enact
ment of a liquor law. Upon Thursday
of last week, the question of the passage
of their hill to a third reading, came up in
the popular branch of the Legislature, un
der the call for the yeas and nays, and
the vote stood, affirmative, and 160 votes
in the negative, being a majority of 9A in
favor of the present prohibitory law. We
think this may be deemed a very decided
indication of the position which Massachu
setts occupies upon this much mooted
question. * • ?
A lady asked a noted doctor if he did
not think the small bonnets which the la
dies wore had a tendency to produce con-r
gestion of the brain. "Oh no," replied he
"ladies who have brains don't wear them."
The Hod* George Sharswood.
Chief Justice Woodward has deserved
from the Democracy of the Slate of Penn
sylvania, any position of honor or dignity
in their power to Of great learn
ing, spotless inregrity, and large sympa
thies,he has won for binqaeif snch an estima
tion from his fellow-citizens as must ineet
his wishes, whether tbeybe for public ser
vice or retirement. He upheld the law
in the face of popular clamor, and made it
respected in the midst of a passionate civil
strife, and against the frowns of power.—
He was tolerant even of the intollerant
and serenely brave, at a time when such,
virtues brought their possessors obloquy
rather than reward." Yt would tiave*l>een,
therefore, a grea/t pleasure to thfe . Demo
crats of Pennsylvania bad they been per
mitted to continue on the Supreme Bench
one who had so ihtich adorned it. Judge
Woodward has, however, denied them that
gratification. His views of his duty, as
expressed in his letter declining a renomi
nation published in these columns some
weeks ago, so imperatively resisted the
popular inclination, that no course was
left to the Democracy but that of respect
ful though regretful assent to his wishes.
In this.situation, with tUe Judgeship of the
Supreme Court their gift, great solici-,
tude was manifested as to the proper per
son upon whom the judicial mantle should
fall ; and without disparagement to any of
the learned and distinguished gentlemen
named for that exalted position,- it is no
exageration to say that the eyes and hearts
of all who cared for the reputation of the
Bench and the glory of the Common
wealth instinctively turned with ooe accord
the Hon. George Sharswood, of this city,
whose unanimous nomination by the
State Convention yesterday was but the
official expression aud ratification of that
universal public sentiment which demand
ed it.
Judge Sharswood spruog of a well-known
Pennsylvanian family, was born on the 7th
of July, 1810. He graduated on the 31st
of July, 1828, at the of Peiin
sylvania, with the highest honors, deliver
ing the Greek salutatory oration. He
studied law with the Hon. Joseph R. In
gersoll. and was admitted to practice on
the sth September, 1831. In 1837, five
years after his admission to the bar, he
was elected from tho City of Philadelphia
to the Legislature of his native State.—
This was at a time when that body num
bered among its members many ot the
most distinguished men of the State, and
when to be a member of it was an honor.
In 1838, chosen a member of the
Select Council of the City of Philadelphia.
In 1841 and 1842 he was again elected to
the Legislature. On the Bth of April,
1845, upon the reorganization of the pres
ent District Court for the City and Coun
ty of Philadelphia, he received at the
hands of that pure patriot, the late Gov
ernor Skenk, the appointment of Judge of
that court; and on the Ist- of February,
1838, became its President, l one r of his
senior associates yielding the place to him
When the constitution was .changed in
1851 and the judiciary became elective,
and again in 1851, he was elected by tbe
people without an opposing candidate, the
unusual honor of a nomination by both of
the great political parties having been
conferred upon him.
Thus, for over twenty-two years, has
Judge Sharswood been a member of, and
for nearly twenty years presided over, the
busiest court in this large city. How be
has filled that office the universal testimo
ny of the Philadelphia Bar will testify.—
It is not too much to say that no judge
who ever sat iu this county has com
manded to so great a degree the lespect
and confidence, and, if we except Judge
Bushrod Washington, the affection of the
profession as Judge Sharswood. If it
were possible to estimate the value in
money which such a judge has been to
this community during the long period of
of his official service, the sum would seem
exagerated to any not familiar with his
worth.
llis systeraization of the business of the
court has prevented costly delays, and his
opinions have such weight that few law
yers care to risk the expense of a writ of
error from his judgments. He has con
structed the practice of his course, and al
most created the local communi
ty. During all this time, he has been, if
not a pro'ific, an habitual and most careful
legal writer and author. His edition of
Blackstone, of Byles on Bills, his annota
tions to English Reports, his Profeasional
Ethics aud Lectures have given him a na
tional reputation as wide as it is well
founded. All over the United States he
is regarded as foremost as a. jurist, a law
yer, and a scholar. No new testimonials
can add to his reputation. The people of
the State of Pennsylvania while conferring
upon Judge Sharswood the additional hon
or of electing him to the Judgship of the
Supreme court, will extend the credit and
dignity of that tribunal, and enlarge the
character of the commonwealth itself. — Age
KW With the return of warm weather
a change of diet should begin. To avert
the unpleasant, languid feelings of which so
many coraplaio, relinquish sausages, pork,
buckwheat cakes, mincc pies, and similar
indigestible food. Meat ouce a day, and
then in moderate quantity, is sufficient. We
have known instances in which , constitu
tions rseetoed tb be .renGvatdH®siid sound
health produced by an entire abstinennce
from meat for two or three weeks in the
spring of the year. Boiled hominy aud
Graham and rye bread are excellent sub
stitutes for the almost universal breakfast
biscuits, made of fine Hour' which are in
such general use. Lettuce, water cresses,
cranbery sauce and sliced oranges upon
which sugar has been sprinkled, are not
only excelent accompaniments to a sum
mer breakfast, hut conductive to good
health.
HOME. —After all, downright plain com
fort is what we are all after. There is a
corner in every heart, wnere father and
mother! sister, and brother, reside. Here
is our only home, much as we may roam.
There is beauty in mystery, gratification
in novelty—but the mind will leave all,
and go back to the old humble 4 hearthstone,
and there rest itself.
