The Great Valey.-The Mississippi Valley has
not less than $500 miles and its main breadth 10
from 1900 to 1900. There are many facts to prove
that it was once covered with vast ocean, and
that the great change was brought about by repeat
ed and long continued volcanic commissions. This
valley is the most delightful, the richest, and the
farest portion Of the earth. and capable Of sustain

canvass Of 1910. 1t is true that there are various
questions, Of great importance the agitation of which
during the time remaining before the assembling
OF the Convention at Baltimore may materially alter
the aspect of party affairs, but doubt very much il
they possibly change the pre-hxed destiny that is
in store-the destiny Of fighting again the battle Of
1870 destiny prepared by those people with ban
dages their eyes and cotton in their ears, who
do not believe that the People meant what they said,
nor intended what they accomplished in ls40. Pos
,by, il is not too late 10 change the decree before
the period arrives Of its intended PRONUNCIATION. But
alas how has the power TO change crumbled in the

STUBBORN FACTS.

We make the following extracts from the pro
ceedings OF a large meeting of Democratic citi'
gems recently held in Germantown, in the coun-
~ of Philadelphia. We ask for them careful
perusal We add no comments, as they speak
for themselves
''The time is past in Pennsylvania, when Demo
cratic nomination teas ta,ianloui 10 election The
people have been frequently betrayed by the apo-
tacy the stupidity of those entrusted with their de-
legated powers, through the action OF delegations
failing TO carry out their will our political oppo-
nents ever on the alert are ready TO avail them
selves Of our family discussions that our party dis
ciplinc and organization is much impaired. Men
now -a-days will Judge for themselves OF the merits
and qualifications of the candidates offered for Their
support and in forming their judgment II is not as
tonishing that they should be swayed in some mea-
sure, BY preexsting sympathes or antipathics They
repair the polls with strong desire to support the
nominations of their party but to that desire, they
will no longer sacrifice their intimate convictions OF
justice and proprety.
A reference to the late elections in this Common
wealth, will show that lost five or six members OF
Congress, several nbers of the Legislature, and
number of county officers in heavy Democratic dis
tricts through disregard of this truth on the part OF
the local delegations, who trusting to the talisman OF
party discipline, nominated candidates who, however
they may have otherwise been worthy, were untor-
sonal antpathies, unappeased sectional hostility
The result defeat, ,ohere ih less parsanstp and
more prudence, rieo,y ,could haze been certain"
Neither should we rely with implicit confidence
upon the great political reaction which places us in
SO large majority in the House of Representatives
Of the Congress of the United States, and view that
majority certain guarantee of success in the APP
preaching Presidential election In 1885, :he De-
mocratc party had large majority in Congress- and
apprehended that defeat nearly awaited us in
the election of President the subsequent year. Penn
sylvana, IN 1885, gave the Democratic electoral tick
ct little over 1000 majority and the vote Of this
State elected Mr.. Van Buren, President of the United
States. Had the vote Of this Commonwealth been
given against the Democratic nominee, he would
have been defeated In 1899 in the House of Rep
resentatves of the Congress of the United States the
Democrats we're in the ascendant, constituting large
majority. In l840 we lost President; and large
majority OF Congressman hostile to Democratic men
and measures elected to the House."

Sra II IS by no means my purpose TO Justify or

comment, on the viupcration Of the Rev. Sydney

although have precise information as to what
Pennsy lvana has done, my belief is, that when the
facts come to be known, II will be found that the
reverend gentleman has greatly misreprescnte ed

which required large sum Of money il was obtain

rectcd the sale Of certain stocks and in case these
could not be sold so as to command specie funds the
Governor was authorized 10 deliver to the public
