Party Organization

Is means 10 secure the success of political
principles as an end. 1t is not that any par
ticular individual may obtain pallry office,
but that those who think alike may come 10
act harmonously together for the election of
such men as will administer the government
according 10 certain safe and patriotic prin-
ciples.
By means OF party conventions, the feel.
ing Of the public is consulted in reference to
the character and qualifications of reliable
candidates. When man passes through
the vrdeai of this Prirnassr-toet his character
and capacity are discussed, and the party Sc
lects him who is indicated BY majority as
a safe and good candidate. There can be no
motive in a party 10 Sc elect bad man, for
that could only be an injury 10 ITSELF
Demagosues can easily find fault with any
ticket which is not 10 their interest but the
mass Of The people should only inquire wheth.
er the candidates for political offices are true
10 their professions; and whether those for
business offices are honest and safe business
men.

A Business Sketch of Business Man.

We copy the following sketch Of the life of
a very extraordinary man, from an editorial
in The N. Y. Sun
"As an illustration of his business tact and
talent, we may point 10 the career of Profess
sor Holloway, the proprietor Of the most pop
ular medicines of The age. The rise and pro-
eress of this extraordinary man have had no
parallel during the present century. He has
visited nearly every Court in Europe, and OBJ
tanned permission for the sale Of bis prepara.
lions from most of the crowned heads of the
Old World. The queens OF Spain and Por-
tugal, the kings of Naples and Sardinia, gran
ted him audiences; and in St. Petersburg,
which city he visited short time before the
commencement of the war, he was treated
with marked consideration by the late Gear
and the nobility.
Travelling in an elegant private carriage,
attended by courier, his equipage attracted
attention in The towns and villages through
which he passed The hotels where he LODI
sed were besieged BY persons of The first dis
linclion, and the best society on the continent
couried his acquaintance.
"The subject of these remarks is unaues.
tionably an ambitious man, and his skill and
enterprise have placed him far in advance of
all his predecessors and contemporaries in
the same profession. He stands alone; and
the fact that he can maintain lis high posi-
ton, despite the interested assaults of envy
and presumption, proves that his medicines
have an intrinsic value, which the world un-
dersands and appreciate.
"The sums expended in advertising by
Professor Holloway would be incredible if
they were not authenticated by his books
His payments 10 the press range from $780,
600 to 100000 per annum. There is no
printed language in which his advertisements
do not appear.
The ramlfcations of his business extend
from The focal poinl-his vast establishment
in the Strand, London-over the whole face
of ihe earth.
"This extraordinary man is now in this
ccuntry-in this city. The Tribune, in lust
tribute to his matchess enterprise, says, that
having, like Alexander, subdued The Old
World, he is now dreparing to conquer the
NeD.
" Professor Holloway has not been tempt
ed hither by a thirst for gain-for his wealth
is sufficient to satisfy the most erigelnt wor-
shipper of mammon--but by philanthropic
desire 10 extend the benefit of his medicines
among people whose character he admi res.
Everybody is, OF course, anxious to see the
greatest advertisefin the world. In very

loway's Pills ard Holoway's Ointment wi

The Republican Convention

Al Piusbufg seems 10 have done its business
in fit, or peiulanl fever. We look in vain
for the reflection, the judgment and the dis
cussion in cool blood which should charac-
terize such body. One delegate did try 10
explain that gentleman in Blair county had
character and qualifications 10 make good
Canal Commissioner, bet the Convention
was in no humor TO hear anylhirg in that
tone. II seems 10 have been much kin to
the last Know Nothing legislature and this
new Republican" party will be fiji sue
cessor to the passion, fanaticism and bigolry
that distinguished the followers OF Ned Bunt-
iine. The fralty of human nature is always
the same, and i: m,nifests itself by well
marked symptoms.
A deliberative convention should show
calm and dispassioned reflection, aud not
only blind passion. There should be cool
reason and not only feversh impulse. Nor
bid, sicklY sentiment not only leads 10 error,
but II will not tpear. II may tempt, allure
and seduce, but it does nos enlighlen with
truth nor guide with safety.
IL the nomination OF Passmore Williamson
was not farce it would be-a monifying
commentary upon the safety and soundness
Of republican institutions. As il is, The evil
will work its own cure.

Visit Your Schools.

You couldn't do better thing Your boy

girl thinks you are TOO busy about more i'm
portant matters than TO worry about her reci-
tations. Grammar is dry as dust 10 her, Ge-

lion. II she speaks Of either al the table,
she is hushed up. You talk of stocks and

The young ones learn'to think their studies
very small matters in comparison with

But visit their school to-day. Hear les
son or two recited. Learn from their teach.
er what their standing is, in wha, they often
esl fail and in whs: they excel. See who
sits next them in The school.room. See how
they compare in personal appearance, wheth-
er they look happy and at home. If ac-
qualnied with their school habits you cannot
but be interested in them, and then you cam
not possibly avoid talking of them. Making
their matters subjects of home conversation
will certainly stimulate them to better efforts
make better scholars of them. By all
means then; visit your schools. Go alone, if
no one will go with you. You will always

The "REPGBLIcaN" CONVENTION AT PIrrs.
DuRG.-TSe Republicans the new name
OF the old Abolition party, had rich time
OF il al Pttaburg during their recent Conven-
lion. The nomination OF Passmors William
son for the offica of Canal Commissioner
seems to have been made amid an exciting
debate. Rev. S,muel Aaron, of Norrislown,
mades the nomination, but member sug-
gested the difficulty that MIR. Williamson
would labor upder 10 perform The duties, he
being at pressntin prison for contempt, and
not likely 10 be released till he has amended
his return to tie writ OF habeas corpus. This
was no difficulty at all 10 Mr.. Aaron he had
a remedy that was as prompt as it was eff
cacious, and hat was, after Mr. William
sons election, for the Republicans TO 'repair
10 Moyamensng prison, with no other arms
than those which God has given them, and
tear it down, stone BY stone." This senti-
ment was received With thunders of ap-
pIause, till one gentleman cooled the ardor
BY suggesting that the prison be torn down
first, and The nomination made afterward.-
A. motion. 10 strike out MIR. William SOM 8
name raised the storm again, and Kisses
loud and strong greeted the motion. Anoth-
er member said it had been suggested that
The Republicans" should request Judge
Kane 10 release Passmore Williamson before
placing him in nomination. He spHrned and
despised such course. He agreed with his
friend, Mr.. Aaron, and was in favor of re-
leasing their nominee by tearing Gown the
State Prison, stone by stone, not leaving one
block upon another. The Convention ad-
journed. without fixing time for beginning
the work Of tearing down Moyamensins.-

What Next.

A iewy years ago the opponents of the DEM
ocraiic party put all their lungs TO the 'tanf ~
cry. That passed by when The country would
not be "ruined," aud we next had furious
howl against the poor "furriners" and Catho-
lies. Still ihs country is not ruined, and the
folly Of this alarm from demagogues is be-
coming apparent. Now it seems we are 10

Republican party. The Bank and Tariff

Nothing mania died out in one season.

awful Mortality.

Portsmouth IN Virginia, has population
OF about nindhousand souls. Norfolk about
fifteen thousbd. Probably more than one
third OF the Rhoie number have left those
places. A pPportionaie degree of mortality
IN Piitsburglwould require three hundred
deaths per din. Those who Witnessed the
appearance othis city during the fearful Wis.
tation Of choIss last year, would shudder at
the thought Of my pesiilence more terrible !;
and yet whens8 remember that almos. ev.
cry death BY fever is the Termination Of sew
eral days of anxiety, suffering and watching,
it is obvious that this disease produces more
general misery than the cholera. The mum.
ber sick al any given time must, Of course,
be many times greater during the prevalence
of fever. For every person who dies, there
are sif or seven lying in need of medical al
tendance and nursing. No wonder that it is
almost impossible to procure either. The
statement that coffins cannot be obtained fast
enough presents sad picture; bu, even that
does not convey the full horrible reality OF a
city converted into hospital, where the nur.
ses are falling and physicians are exhausted i
by theii labors.
