The gentleman talks of %concurring in the
Montour delegates. Does he mean TO give
up every thing TO Montour |! Is he serious

The gentleman says it is too late TO COZ.
rect the error Of the Standing Committee
| Sir, II is never-never too late 10 do right.
Sir, this reminds me OF an incident, in the
great French revolution. When Louis Phil
ippe was flying for his life, and the r%evolu.
ton was in full blast then, siI, was heard
the proposition to establish a regency for the
young Prince, Of Paris, and then, sir, came
the voice Of the nation crying out sit s too
late.' And SO here. Just SO in this case.
II ii is now too late, when, sir, I ask-when
sir, in Gods name, when will ifbe eaHiers
Will il be when dIsorganization shall be
rampant when all party usage shall be
subverteda when the Democratic party il
self shall be pros,ratea Oh sir, will it be
time then to correct gross wrong and error
Will it not then be ''too late"
He did not wish to charge the ComU.it.ee
with bad motives, but their. conduct was un.
warranted-a ~usurpation Of power, and
would be most dangerous and d~isorsanizing
as a precedent, He hoped the politics Of
this county would no. be drive..n 10 such .
deplorable disgrace as ,h..t Of Luzerne.
MIR. Freeze sand he lad no charge 10 make
against Mr.. Roa,, tut it was desired that

him-sOhi do thou represent us, for we
have no one else 10 setve usW Has il come
10 this . and are we SO poor! MT, Roa'
may have served the people of the county
with some effect, but they too have helped
him, ant | think the two parties may abouI
call it quits and say to each other 81 thank
you sir.

, 10 be some further action TO insure Nr. Lac
